Says the Rural Ne~ Yorker: In all
recorded time there has been steady
flow of intelligent, enterprising young
men from the country to the city. The
last census shows that this influx has been
particularly marked during the decade
covered by it. Owing to this fact, aud
also because foreign immigrants settle
chiefly in the centers of industry, the
population of our towns and cities is in
creasing great deal faster than that of
the rural districts. From an agricultural
point of view this is, in the main, pres
ent advantage. While competition in
agricultural products is thereby checked
or diminished the home market for them
is increased.

A Land Of Queer Customs.

All things are reversed in Holland.
The main entrance to the finest public
building In the country, the Palace, or
late town hall, Of Amsterdam, is its back
door. Bashful maidens hire beaux to
escort them to the Kermis, or fair, on
festival days. Timid citizens are scared
in the dead of the night by their own
wstchmen, who at every quarter of an
hour make such noise with their wooden
clappers one would suppose the town to
be on fire. You will see sleds used in
summer there. They go humping over
the bare cobblestones, while the driver
holds dripping oil-rag in advance of
the runners to lessen the friction. You
will see streets of water, and the country
roads paved as nicely as Broadway. You
will see vessels hitched, like horses, to
their owners door posts, and whole rows
of square-peaked houses leaning over the
street, as if they were getting ready to
tumble. Instead Of solemn striking
clocks, you will hear church chimes
playing snatches of operatic airs every
quarter Of an hour, by way Of marking
the time. You will see looking glasses
hanging outside of the dwellings, and
pincushions displayed on the street
doors. The first are called spionnen (or
spicnnetjen), and are SO arranged outside
of the windows that persons sitting in
side can, without being seen, enjoy re-
Aection of all that is going on in the
street. They can learn, too, what visitor
may be coming, and watch him rubbing
his soles to a polish before entering.
The pincushion means that new baby
has appeared in the household. II white
or blue, the newcomer is a girl; if red,
it is little Dutchman. Somc of these
signals are very snowy affairs; some are
not cushions at all, but merely shingles
trimmed with ribbon or. lace; and,
among the poorest class, it is not uncom-
mon to see merely white or red string
tied to the door latch-fit token of the
meagre life the poor little stranger Ia
destined to lead.
Sometimes, instead Of either piucushion
or shingie, you will sec largo placard
hung outside Of the front door. Then
you may know that somebody in the
house is Ill, and his or her present condi.
tion is described on the placard for the
benefit of inquiring friends; and some,
times when such plscard has been taken
down, you may meet grim-looking man
on the street dressed in black tights, a
short cloak and high hat from which
long, black streamer is flying. This ia
the Aanspreker, going from house to
house to tell certain persons that their
friend Is dead. He attends to funerals
and bears invitations to all friends whose
presence may be desired. A strange,
weird looking figure he is, and he wears
a peculiar, professional cast of counte'
nance that is anything but comforting

The Supreme Court of Vermont has
recently had occasion, observes the New
York Independent, to consider and decide
the question, whether man who has
made presents to an intended BRIDE who
breaks her engagement with him can
bring an action against her for the re-
covery OF the same or -their, equivalent in
value. The court, in tho case before it,
held that absolute gifts in such ciroum-
stances are irrevocablc, and also that
when the gifts arc evidently conditional
in their intent, and the intended bride
fails to comply with the condition con-
templated, the giver may recall them and
bring an action for their recovery. The
court said in the case "She. received
both sums for specific purpose, and
when she broke the engagement, the law
raised promise on her part to refund
them. The plaintiff did not give them
to her as an adventurer to help him win
hor favor, but in consideration Of tho Gu
gagement and to enable her to perform
II. When she broke it he was entitled
to have his money refunded. We hold
that the gifts were not absolute, but con-
ditional, aud that when the condition
failed a right Of action accrued to the
plaintiff to recover the money" In this
case the plaintiff had sent to his intended
and betrothed bride considerable sum
of money, to enable her to purchase a
suitable outfit for the marriage. She re-.
ceived the money ana bought the outfit,
but married another man. Being thus
cheated aud Tilted, the plaintiff brought
a suit to recover tho money thus advanced.
The Supreme Court Of Vermont clearly
took exactly the right view Of sae cqui.

Few of those who fasten their gloves
with the ingenious little snap button in
use for few years past know the history
OF the contrivance. 1t was invented by
an American, who tried in vain to enlist
in his invention the interest Of American
capitalists. Nobody could see any prom
ise in the tiny bit Of mechanism, and the
inventor finally betook himself to Frauce.
There he found capital, and the inveu-
ton speedily became popular. Now the
inventor aud the capitalists interested
are getting rich out of the contrivance,
and even the American agency is proving
a mint Of money. The fastner, at first
applied chiefly to gloves, is now affixed
to umbrellas and to q dozen other arti-
cles Of daily use. Made Of silver, it is
put upon ornamental pocket-books, port
folios and the like Chicago Herald.

The Territory of Alaska asks to be
recognized rs Territory and be duly
organized, instead of being governed, as
now, from military aud naval posts. Its
population is about, ,35, 600, but of these
only one-seventh are white. The people
complain, aud with some justice, re-
marks the Boston CHltirator, that as tho
land laws are not extended over the
Territory it Is impossible for settlers to
get title to the lands they occupy. AS
soon as the lands are surveyed and
offered for sale there is sure to be u
largo immigration. The mines and fish
cries of the Territory will sustain large
population, and whatever land is fit for
cropping or dairyiug will be valuable to
supply them with necessary food.

The New England Mortgage aud Sc
curity Company and the Corbin Banking
Company, in Boston, recently sued a
farmer in Arkansas, or tried TO foreclose
a mortgage on his farm for $1,000 bor-
rowed money. The case went up to the
Supreme Court, chronicles the Atlanta
Constitution, and the decision was in
favor of the defendant, on the ground
that usurious interest was charged, which
fact forfeited both principal and interest.

HARMONY AND CANDID ATEs.

The vague apprehension that the
Democratic party viii not be successful
in the next election in Delaware is not
well founded
It usually exists among candidates
who magnify their own Importance by
assuming that the victory or defeat Of
Democracy depends upon their success or
failure to be nominated for some particu.
lar office. For man who exaggerates
his OWE importance-on who is sxclu-
sively occupied in self-contemplation-
that is mistake as natural as it is
erroneous.
There will not be any attempt to
advocate any man who is not competent,
intelligent and worthy. The party does
not recognize any bosses, so that no
other than good men have been men
toned With any good candidate and
harmony there is no doubt of Demo
cratic success. The candidates are plen
tiful and they are all good ones, hence
the only doubtful element is harmony.
There is the sweetest Of harmony now
The file of the party, the boys in th'
trenches, ara determined that harmon,
shall prevail to such an extent that tn
rank will not be able to disturb 1t ever
