ILLUSTRATIVE of the peremptory busi-
ness habits Of the Webb boys this is
told by the New York correspondent Of
Philadelphia Press: In the early days
of Dr.. Seward Webb as railroad man
he attempted little show of authority
with Mr.. Jay Gould, which that gentle-
man treated in his dry, sarcastic way.
II seems that w. II. Vanderbilt was
just dead when his son-in-law, DIR.
Webb, in business letter called Mr..
Gould rather peremptorily to account,
and presented his ultimatum in mat
ter concerning some exchange in busi-
ness between the Vanderbilt and Gould
roads. DR.. Webb's idea was to hurry
Mr.. Gorlld to q settlement. But Mr..
Gould was not to be hurried, or even
brought to o consideration of the case,
and he wrote short note to Mr.. Webb
in which he simply said that his sorrow
over the death Of Mr.. Vanderbilt three
or four days before had been SO poign-
ant that he was unable to consider any
business with his son-in-law ut present.
It is probable that Mr.. Gould has not
heard from DR.. Seward Webb since.

My subject also impresses me with the
fact that lions cannot hurt q good man.
No man ever got into worse company
than Daniel got into when he was thrown
into the den. What rare morsel that
fair young man would have been for the
hungry monstersl Ifthev had plunged
at him he could not have climbed into a
niche beyond the reach of their paw or
the snatch Of their tooth. They came

You need not go to Numidia to get
among lions. You all have them after
you-the lion Of financial distress, the
lion of sickness, the lion Of persecution
You saw that lion of financial panic put
ting his mouth down to the earth, and
he roared until all the banks and all the
insurance companies quaked. With his
nOstrils he scattered the ashes on the do
nestle hearth. You have had trial after
trial, misfortune after misfortune, lion
after lion; and yet they have never hurt
you If you put your trust in God, and
they never will hurt you. They did not
hurt Daniel, and they cannot hurt you.
The Persians used to think that spring
rain falling into sea shells would turn
into pearls; and have to tell you that
the tears Of sorrow turn into precious
gems when they drop into Gods bottle.
You need be afraid Of nothing putting
your trust in God. Even death, that
monster lion whose den is the worlds
sepulcher, and who puts his paw down
amid thousands of millions Of the dead,
cannot alright you. gsH
When in olden times . man was to get

PEELED to go fully armed the night before
among the tombs Of the dead, carrying a
sort of spear, and then when the day
broke he would come forth, and amid
the sound of cornet and great parade
he would get the honors of knighthood.
And so it will be with the Christian in
the night before Heaven, as fully armed
with. spear and helmet Of salvation he
will wait and watch through the dark
ness until the morning dawns, and then
he will take the honors of Heaven amid
that great throng with snowy robes
streaming over seas of sapphire.

The wearing of artificial hair is no
modern innovation. 1t was used not
only by the Egyptians, but also by
the Greeks, the Carthaginins, and
especially by the Romans, among whom
the sale of human hair, particularly the
blonde hair of Germany, was an ordi-
nary species of traffic. The most noted
period in modern history, prior to the
present time, in which false hair was
extensively worn, covered o consider
able portion of the 18th and 18th CEN
turies, when the peruke was the order
of the day, and all humanity became
bewigged, says writer in the New
York Ledger. To France, the great
fountain-head of fashion, was due the
adoption of this head-dress, which sac
rificed the beauty Of nature to the deli
cacies of art. The epidemic, which at
tackled both sexes with equal severity,
extended to England, and spread
throughout the other countries of Eu-
rope. It loitered the longest in France,
where itraged with great violence in the
reign of Louis the Fourteenth, and was
not eradicated until the time Of Marie
Antoinette.
Where does it all come from Z" is
the question the reader will naturally
ask. As o matter Of course, all pro-
ducts required for the artificial decora-
tion of the person find their way princi-
pally to Paris, and we accordingly re-
gard that city as the emporium of the
trade in human hair. More than 100
tons weight Of this precious ornament,
we are informed, has been annually
taken there, and thence distributed in
raw and manufactured state over the
whole of Europe and northern America.
The hair crop annually required to feed
the hungry NAV Of fashion is almost
entirely collected in France, Belgium
and Germany. English and American
women rarely sell their hair. Black
hair comes from Brittany and the south
of France, as we'll as from Spain and
Italy, while light hair is the product Of
Germany and the northern states OF
Europe. /. The fairest-haired inhabit-.
ants Of the earth are found north of the
48th parallel Of latitude, and the dark
est south of the 45th, while the belt
between the two is kind of neutral
ground populated by . brown-haired
race.
An eminent German has undergone

Tho Toad and the Duke of wellington.

Short Cuts has unearthed o pecul-
iArly delightful letter of the little Duke
of Wellington, which runs as follows:
"Strathfieldsaye, July 27, 1837.-Field
Marshal the Duke of Wellington is
happy to inform William Harries that
his toad is alive and we'll"
During one Of his country walks the
Duke found little boy lying on the
ground, bending his head over tame
toad, and crying as if his heart would
break, On being asked what was the
matter the child explained that he was
crying "for his poor toad" He brought
it something to eat every morning, but
he was now to be sent to school a long
distance off, and he was afraid that no
body else would give il anything to eat,
and that it would die. The Duke,
however, consoled him by saving, that
he would himself see the toad well fed,
and by further promising to let the boy
hear as to its welfare. During the time
the boy was away at school he received
no less than five autograph letters simi-
lar to that given above, and when he
returned for the Christmas holidays
the toad was still alive to gladden. his
heart. The story is even more de-
lightful than that of the Dukes indig-
nation when he found that party Of
children at Strathfeldsaye - among
whom, we believe, was the present
Prime Minister--were having their tea
without jam. The incident reused him
to immediate action. and he at once
rang the bell and issued a general or
der that "children's tea" was never to
be served in his house with such
manned rights"

determination to bring matters 10 a crisis
which promises to result in something very
decisive. The railroads in Iowa have en-.
countered State laws which have brought
them to halt in the high-handed manner
they have been used to carry matters. 1t is
their own fault if the people of the western
States use measures against them which

loose, unbridled manner which the govern

power from which they derive all their
rights to exist, for their stewardship. The
National Government is the only supreme
head that is competent to deal with these
great corporations which reach thousands of
miles and effect the business of the people
