He Looked Ahead.
Detroit Free Press.l

One mild day, during the past win
ter, an old darkey walked into a store;
in small town in North Carolina, and
said he wanted to look at some horse
collars. The clerk showed him several
kinds, telling him tho prices, and expa-
tiated at considerable length on their
quality and cheapness, as the practica
salesman knows so well how to do.
After some time, as the old man did
not seem to be in any particu-
lar hurry about making a selec-
ton, the clerk, who had pretty well
exhausted his stock OF talk, asked him II
his horse was near by, remarking that
it would be better 10 bring him to the
store. as he could give him collar that
would fit him more easily if he were
present.

{ hicag) Tribune.

Several persons were making expert
ments at Pembrey, Carmarthensnire,
with dynamite, in tarn among the
hills. A charge of dynamite, with a
tive-miputes' fuse attached to it, was
thrown in the water-the power of the
explosive to DO judged by the volume of
water forced up by the explosion.
A sportsman, accompanied by his
dog, appeared at the moment, and as
the charge was thrown into the lake the
animal sprang into the water and seized
the cartridge, which it quickly brought
ashore The sportsman shouted to the
dog to drop it, but the animal ran in
the direction of its master, and the en-
perimentalists Immediately made off,
the dog being kept at distance by its
master and Others by continuous
shower of stones. AT the end of five
minutes the charge exploded and the
poor animal was blown to pieces, its
master and the other narrowly escaping
with their lives

The Pacific ocean is five times as large
as the Atlantic, The rotary motion of
the earth, acting on water near the
equatorial line, OF course, has a ten
dency to pile 1t up. The bulk of the
Pacific being so much larger than the
Atlantic, is lifted twenty-eight feet
higher than the Atlantic. For the same
reason, that of its bulk, it is about 20
degrees colder Now imagine the effect
of this enormous body of water, twenty
eight feet higher in level and 20 degrees
lower in temperature, being poured
into the Atlantic through the canal"
"Why doesn il seek its level below

Because that point Of meeting is so
far from the equatorial line that the
centrifugal force is not so great, and
the levels of the two oceans are the
same. Up about the Panama, the dit
ference in levels is great, and the i'm

The MIGHTY Dollar.

IBoston omm rNN Bull etIn.I
The brotherhood of man is beautiful
sentiment-just that-no more. The
light of exceptions only discovers the
dark background of the rule, the prac-
tical application of which is sporadic.
Science, philosophy, religion, are mo-
tive powers that have done something
toward opening the dark corners of the
earth and bringing the world to our
doors, but the desire to better our con-
dition, the thirst for gain, the mighty
dollar-this is the breath that fills the
sails of commerce-the engine that
draws the train round the world.

A German benevolent Society.

Over one year ago an auxiliary society of the
German American school, at Chicago. was or
ganized here, the purpose of which was to send
to Chicago half the membership fees of the soci
ETY. to be used for benevolent purposes there, as
the managers saw fit. and the remainder to be
used for local benevolent purposes. The society
prospered for several months, and until
the Chicago school went out of exist
ence, when the organization here also
died. The German American school
at Milwaukee has adopted the same plan, and
Mr. Richards, representing the school, has been
in the city all this week agitating the reorgani-
cation of the local society, as a branch. In &C.
cordance with his suggestion, a meeting was
held last night, and the society organized and its
name changed to the German American Semi
nary Auxiliary. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year, President, Glenn

A Receiver who Received.

NEW York, Dec 16.--Avtorneys representing
creditors Of the defunct Guardian Savings Instl-
tion have made a motion before Judge Barrett
to have John T. Mciowan, the receiver OF that
bank. removed The motion is based upon GER
tain facts regarding assets of the bank which
MCGOWAN had paid to himself and to others ille-
gally, and which disbursements were not al
owed by the referee on the final accounting of
the receiver. The Guardian Savings Institu-
ton failed in 1871. and MCGOWAN was appointed
receiver July 2, 1877 Quinlan and O'Donohue,
receivers before McGowan, were removed. Nc
Gowan's accounts show payments to himself as
creditor aggregating $45 1888. and other smaller
sums. The receiver charged himself in his ac-
count with receipts of money aggregating $102,-
02l, and showed balance in his hands of only
1852 The referee finds that MCGOWAN made
payments to himself and others in violation of
the courts orders and that he should be held to
account for nearly $75 600 the creditors of the
bank. instead of the $l52, which he claimed was
ali the assets he had in his hands.
