Pepper Looking Up.--A large falling
off last year in the available supply OF this
pungent spice in consequence OF short crops
and other unfavorsble circumstances, has
created an apprehension IN some quarters
that To the numerous Ills from which the
world is now suffering is TO be added in the
near future pepper famine. For the past
two years the average consumption for the
world was $4,000 tons, almost the whole Of
which came from Mslabar, Lsmpang, the
Straits and other points in the East. Dur.
ing the coming year the supply available
will not exceed 20500 tons, or, if account be
taken Of the probable result Of the blockade
by the Dutch gov rnment OF the Atcheen

CARLYLE and His Tobacco.

Carlyle's habit ofsmokinghad begun
in his boyhood, probably at Ecclefech-
an, before he went to Edinburgh Uni
versity. Ellis father" he told me, says
his biographer, twas moderate
smoker, combining himself to an ounce
of tobacco q week, and so thoughtfully
as always to have a pipe ready for q
friend out Of that allowance. Carlyle's
allowance in his mature life, thong he
was very regular in his times and sea-
sons, must have been at least eight
times as much. Once when the CAMS
ter Of 'free-smoking York River on his
mantel-piece was nearly empty, hetold
me not to mind that, as hehad about
half stone more of the same upstairs.
Another tobacco anecdote of Carlyle
which I had from the late G. H. Lewes,
may be worth a place here. One after
noon, when his own stock Of free
smoking York River had come to
an end. and when he had set
out to walk with friend (Lewes him.
self, if I recollect rightly, he stopped
at a small tobacco-shop in Chelsea,
facing the Thames, and went in to pro-
cure some temporary supply. The
friend went with him, and heard his
dialogue with the shopkeeper. York
River having been asked for was duly
produced, but as it was not Of the
right sort, Carlyle, while making a
small purchase, informed the shop
keeper most particularly what the
right sort was, what was its name, and
at what wholesale place in the. city it
might be ordered. oh, we find that
this suits our customers very well,
said the man. THAT may be sir, said
Carlyle, but you will find it best in the
long run always to deal in the veraci-
ties The mans impression seemed
to be that the veracities were some pc
culiar curly species of tobacco hither-
to unknown to him. 49,, % =.

Grant and Sherman each met many
obstacles before either sat down in

failed in their cooperation in Viz

ataH at Mobile. Grant himself entered
upon ON encounter as terrible as that

was prolonged and bitter, and the ma
tional commander. received as we'll as
inflicted appallingloss; but he persisted
in his advance amid carnage and as
sault with that awful composure and
confidence which to many natures is
not only inscrutable but absolutely
repelling, but which, nevertheless, was
the especial quality which enabled him
to succeed He pushed his army
through such a month of ceaseless and
seemingly resultless battle as the wc:ld
has hardly. ever seen; dealing, however,
as he knew, the blows from which his
antagonist could never. recover In
the Wilderness the rebellion received
it's death stroke It ingerd months
afterward, and all the skill and strength
of the nation and its soldiers were re-

THE sCRAPBos OK CURE.
How Boys Who Read Dime Novels Can b
Cured Of Their Had Taste.


Cured Of Their Had Taste.
Boston Herald.
A trustee OF the Providence public Ii
brary has und ertaken to cure the small
boy OF his interest ii the dime novel,
and can be said to have succeeded. He
has met the antecedent with its conse-
quent. He has gathered into a scrap.
book the adventures OF the boys who
read dime novels, and has made it his
business in a quiet way to ask the
boys one by one who are interested IN
these stories to spend an hour or two
IN reading, not the imaginative story,
but the way In which the small boy
has attemptedato realize how boys
ought to live and what they ought to.
be allowed to do. 1t. is said that the
dime novel boy ,n,snally readsthe scrap
book, which is rapidly increasing in
size as the fresh exploits of the dime
novel adventures are added to it,
about two hours. He then lays; it
down in disgust, and nothing can in
duce him to return to these stories
again. He asks the person III charge
OF the readingroom for better class
of books.
This cure of disease with it's own
poison has been SO effective in Provi-
dence that the trustee in question is
thinking OF taking out o patent for the
process lest, other libraries and the
heads OF families and the guardian Of
the small boy generally may appro-
pirate his invention without due cred
it: The scrap book alluded to is call
ed the Dime Novel Illustrated, and it
is suggested to this gentleman before
he goes much furthur that he should
put his scrap book to press, secure his
copyright at home and abroad, and
stand up for honors as the only man
in the world who has SO far succeeded
in outwitting the average American
boy by giving him sufficient antidote
to the evil which, in the form of devil
ish literature, he is anxious to take
into his mind and heart, to make him
abandon these stories in disgust.
He is the first among moderns to
give point to the old saying, s'Look
on this picture and then on that"
and it is the other picture that is
powerful enough to wind up the dime
novel business. These are the days
Of realism in literature, and this man
going further than Mr.. Howells or Mr..
James or even NJ. lola, has subst;tu
ted the pastepot and scissors for the
imagination, gatheringhis horrors and
tragedies from actual life, in the firm
belief that if truth is not stronger
than fiction, it has wonderful power
at the right moment over an awak-
ened mind.

Matrimonial Speculation.

: A curious light is thrown on a peeu-
liar kind OF matrimonial Speculation
by an effort that Edward Martin, a
wealthy director Of the New York Life
Insurance Company, is making to get
ria Of his wife. Mrs. Martin, it may
be said, is also trying to get rid of her
husband, but only on condition that
he planks down liberal alimony. She
had three husbands before she cap
tured the affections Of Mr.. Martin, who
was then q widower with couple OF
grown-up children, and was divorced
from each. 1t is her reasons for get
ting divorces which constitute the
popularity of Mrs. Martins matrimo-
NAL ventures--that is if the story OF
her fourth husband be one of fact and
not fancy. The substance OF it is that
this enterprising woman has been
habitually addicted, to marrying men
OF means, with a special view to enrich
ing herself by acquiring part of their
property in the form OF alimony. Her
modus opernadi has been to make it so
hot for the husbands that they gladly
allowed her to get divorces on the
ground of abandonment and surrend-
cred part of their property to get rid
of her. She has laid up q snug little
sum Of money in this way, her fourth
husband says, and she wants to get
some more out Of him. Theyhad not
been married long when she made
things SO lively that he had to turn
her out of his house, and she has
plagued him almost daily ever since
for the special purpose Of making him
settle-that is, pay her literally to let
him alone Marrying for money is as
old as the hills, but habitually marry
ing to make money this way seems to
have q touch ofnovelty in it. Yet it
is not quite as new as it may seem.
This Martin case reminds me OF one
heard fsome time ago that bears a
similarity to it. The third husband
ola woman who was twice divorced,
getting generous alimony each time,
was living with her in fine style on the
very; aGmony she had obtained from
his predecessors. In other words the
two divorced husb were support
ing the third husband Of the woman
who had been the wife of each, and
supporting her, too, as q matter Of
course. But if Mr.. Martin had taken
the trouble to find out something
about his Hife's three divorces before

The Forty.Ninth Congress.

The two parties are so evenly
divided in Congress that each will
serve as check to the other. The
Republicans can antagonize the
President with majority of eight,
including the Senator to be elected
from Oregon. To compensate for
this, the Democrats have a majority
of forty-o in the House of Repre-
sentatives, including Weaver the
Iowa Fusionist.- If any great ques-
ton comes up that so rouses the feel
ings of the Senators and members
of the House that they can not
effect a compromise between the
two branches, a deadlock may be
expected.
The following summary from the
New York Sun shows the representa-
ton in regard to States:
"The Democrats have nineteen, or
exactly one-half the number of States,
in the House of Representatives by
decided majorities:
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia,
Arkansas. West Virginia, Indiana,
Michigan, Mississippi, Florida,
Delaware, Maryland, Texas,
Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio,
Missouri,
The Republicans have sixteen
States:
Minnesota, NewHampshire, Vermont,
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Nevada,
California, Rhode Island, Oregon,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Maine,
Colorado, New Jersey, Iowa,
Kansas.
Three States are equally divided
in representation, as follows:
Connecticut, Illinois, New York,
In the Senate the situation is al
most reversed. The Republicans
have nineteen States, if we include
the new Senator from Oregon:
Minnesota, NewHampshire, Vermont
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Oregon,
California, Rhode Island, Illinois,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Kansas,
Michigan, Connecticut, Maine.
Colorado, New York, Iowa,
Virginia.
The Democrats have fifteen States .
Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Louisiana, SouthC Carolina, Missouri,
Arkansas, West Virginia, Georgia,
Delaware, Mississippi, Florida,
