From the COrnnul MaRaZineI
 On day in the year 1840 there calls at a fshmonger's shop in Old Hungerford Mar ket, kept by Yarmouth man named Jay, friend, himself from Yarmouth, no fish monger, but connoisseur and collector of autographs-with, moreover, sick son, for whom he desired to buy soles. He buys his soles and they are wrapped for him in a large stiff sheet of paper, torn from folio volume that stands at Jays elbow on the dresser, and with that the connoisseur goes home and, unwrapping the soles, delivers them to the cook, when there on the large, stiff sheet of paper his well trained eye catches the signatures of Godolphin, Sunder- land, Ashley and Lauderda1e. The wrap ping of the soles is a sheet of the victualing charges for prisoners in the Tower in the reign of James H., and the signatures are those of his ministers. Any other man must have given some sign, have gone off to tell somebody; not so the connoisseur, but he takes his hat and stick and, whistling bit, walks back straight into Jays shop, the shop of his fellow -townsman, and he buys a whiting and he says, 'EThat's pretty good paper of yours, Jay" says he; and Jay says, "Yes, it is, but plaguey stiff, wrapping the whiting in another great sheet of the folio, and adds, sspve got a good bit of it, too: 1 got it from Somerset House." The connois- seur's heart gives a great leap, but, the hero of hundred bargains, he remains cool and asks the price of cod. "Fivepenee," re- turns Jay; Efthey advertised ten tons of waste paper, and offered seven pounds ton, which they took, dye sect And I've got three ton of it in the stables and the other seven they keep till want it." ''Al like this9" asks the connoisseur, faint with expectancy. Pretty much," replies Jay; .1all odds and ends" The connoisseur goes home with whiting, with cod, with maokerel, with skate, with parcels of every kind of

AN ARBITRATION BILL.


 The Massachusetts house of representatives has passed by large majority bill provid- ing for arbitration which finds much favor outside the legislators. This bill provides that the governor shall, on or before the first day of May in each year, appoint three com petent persons to serve as State board of arbitration. One of them shall be an en- ployer of labor, one of them shall be an en- ploye, the third shall be appointed upon the recommendation of the other two; provided, however, that if the two appointed do not agree on the third man at the expiration of thirty days, he shall then be appointed by the governor. They shall hold office for one year or until their successors are appointed, and if a vacancy occurs the governor in the same manner shall appoint some one to serve out the unexpired term and may in like man her remove any member of said board. The members of said board shall, before entering upon the duties of their office, be sworn to faithful discharge thereof.
 The bill further provides that whenever any controversy or difference, not involving the collection of debts or the title to prop erty. exists between an employer, whether an individual, copartnership or corporation, and his employees, if at the time he employs not less than twenty-five persons in the same general line of business in any city or town ill the State ths board shall, upon application and as soon as practicable thereafter, visit the locality of the dispute and make careful inquiry into the cause thereof, hear all per sons interested therein who may come before shona, advise the respective parties of what, if anything; ought to be done or suffered by either or both to adjust said dispute and make written report thereof. This report shall at once be made public, shall be record ed upon proper books of record to be kept by the clerk of said board and short state ment thereof published in the annual report. The decision is to be binding upon the par ties thereto for six months, or until either party has given the other notice in writing of his intention not to be bound by the same at the expiration of sixty days therefrom.
 This appears to be sensible and practica- ble plan. As the bill will probably pass we shall have an opportunity to observe its workings.

What Boys Should Head.

LFrora the Saturday Review.l
 Though some boys books are delightful reading, both for old and young boys, it is certain that boys should not confine their studies to books dedicated at the young" Thackeray, we know from his Roundabout paper on "A Lazy Idle Boy," read Dumas and Miss Porter and Mrs. Radcliffe at very early age, and Dickens has told the world how he lived with 'FTom Jones'' till he be- came, in fancy, Ca child's Tom Jones, harmless creature.' Without reckoning in ''Tom Jones" many of the masterpieces of literature are emphatleally books for boys. There are all Dickens best things, and we know that Master Harry East read about MT. Wrinkles horse with interest at quite early moment in his career. No boy who can read at all can faii to be delighted with the opening part of s'David Copperfeld," with the opening chapters of "Great E1pec tations," with Nicholas Nickleby," above all, with Mr. Squeers, with ''Pickwick" and with "Oliver Twist" But the last ia dan gerous book, because the humors of the Dodger and Charlie Bates invite imitation, and a fanciful youth might be seduced into a purely Platonic abstraction of fogles and tickers. Much of Thackeray is excellent for boys, because whenever he writes about aoys he writes with so much knowledge and sympathy. Pen and Give and young Raw don and old Figs and Berry and Biggs at school are all as good as "Tom Brown" Scot, like Dickens and Thaekeray, is not favorsd by the Fortnightly reviewer, who perhaps prefers MT. Kingston to those au- thors and to Cooper of the Wood and Wave" Pat no unsophisticated boy with taste above the adventures of Ned Kelly the Bushranger can De happier than he is made by ''Quentin Durwa15" and "Ivanhoe," and ''The Pirate and ''The Fair Maid of Perth,' while "The Last of the Nohicans'' has set many young brave Of the pale faces on making tomahawks and canoes and flint headed arrows. These, and such a. these. are the true books for boys books that will live in their memories all their lives al-7 supply them with worlds of pleasant recol- lections. Nor can the Arabian Nights" be omitted from boys library, though he is not required to read it in Captain Burton's tra1aslation

old text. The legend over his office is No Chinese need apply There are over 100 intelligence offices in San Francisco" he continued, "and all of them, except half Q dozen, deal with the Chinese; but Kearney' s is one of the half dozen. He is natural bigot, but he is smart enough in this thing, as in politics, to make his bigotry pay. He makes his animosity to the Chinese very prominent in his advertisements"
 That there is large amount of adulter- afed, artificial and blended wines sold in France is indicated by some facts in regard to the spirit tax which have been made pub lie. At present all wine less than 15' alco- holic strength escapes with light duty; be- yond that strength added duty is imposed The actual strength of wine sold for con- sumption is only from 8 to 100, the differ ence representing the amount of adulteration or dilution. The minister of finance pro poses to reduce the maximum at which high CT duties are charged to 120, and by this means alone expects to raise $2, 200, 900 a year. By another tax on dried raisins, now used almost exclusively for the manufacture of artificial wine, he expects to raise at least $4O0, ,000 more. He estimates the artificial wine now produced at 66,000, 900 gallons.
