Barren Huddleston, an eminent English
judge, recently took occasion to say from
the bench that it was an undoubted fact
that woman told lie very much bette
than did a man, and with very much
better effect. 1t was a remarkable cir
cumstance that when woman wss
determined 10 say what was untrue she
said it in much better manner than q
man. Whether this was due to a man
feeling that hi, dignity was to a certain
extent offended by recourse to untruth
he did not know that wss a metaphys
ical question into which he would not
enter but it was certain that a woman
told ssstory much more logically, and,
if it WAS untrue, held to i, much more
pertinsciouslv, and with much more the
appearance of truth, than msn could.

abomination when your butter is very,
very hot, pour in your eggs; just as
soon a it Is cooked On one side, not

buttered tin and butter the top Of that
and bake. The top layer can be lifted
of without cutting, % spread the fruit

HABIT OF SHIRKINa.-The habit Of
Sinking is great. evil in, ou land. Sad
and bitter are the experience muItitudes
who have lost positions of emolument and
trust by shirking duties and respo sibilties
devolving upon them. They saw their mis-.
take after it was too late. It il bad
sign to see young man contracting the
habit of shirking You may set it down ct
once that sooner or later he will be drone
in the great hive Of human industry, living
without any purpose in life and scorned by
all who have willing hands, and follow up
what they can find to do. Young man, Il
you want to gain the confidence aad esteem
of your employer, never shlrk from duty.
Ii overtasked, lay in your complaints, n
you will always get hearing. If you will
begin life shirk, you may set it down as
a fixed fact that the hab will follow you
through life, and as success you will be
an utter failure"

DAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain IS in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain Is felt under the shoulder blade, and 1t frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and IS sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach IS affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen. eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the. head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- ton of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- else would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

The Northern Pacific road is hauling 12o car loads of wheat into Duluth daily, but the grain piles up there faster than the vessels can be got to take it East. It seems almost impossible to secure vessels enough to trans port the grain to the East, the production along the Northern Pacific being the largest over known, and much larger than even the most sanguine shippers had anticipated

There are people who do not take Il
vacation because they consclentlousIy
cannot; there arc those who don't take
one because they wont; there are those
who. taking, make something III the
way of health, amusement or acquire
ment OF knowledge out OF their vacation,
and there are those who only Intensity

travel. About the only thing to be said
is that every one ought to have sense
enough to know how and when and
where to take his or her vacation ana to
avoid the idea that the recreation OF an
other is q guarantee that the S-me place
and things will give pleasure to the I'M

certain, change of place is not the essen

tructive as worry i'll the cOunting-room

Ruinously low prices for cotton goods
are discouraging the English manufac-
tprers. Manchester papers intimate
that an effort to remedy this condition
will be made by reducing production,
and that, to this end, there is likely to
be general resort to the short time
system. In the nature of things it is
impossible that such an expedient can
have any permanent relieving effect.

PLANTING TREES AND SuRUBs.--Sm
groups of trees and shrubs may be rem
dered very effective if due care is taken
in planting them. Have care that the
general effect will be q good one, and
to this end let the trees forming group
be of one general character. Thus, it
conical trees be distributed equally or
injudiciously over the grounds along
with round-headed trees they will pro-
duce great sameness; but if conical trees
prevail in one place, drooping or Weep
ing trees in another, round-Ileaded trees
in third and low-spreading varieties
occupy another side, many distinct char
acters will be produced, and this will be
much more interesting to the beholder
than one continuous group of mixed
trees of various habits. The same gen.
eral rules apply with eqnal force to or
namental shrubs. Tn planting single
trees care should be had to the proper
soil they should always be planted in
prepared soil raised in heaps d foot OF
more above the general surface, so that
after q year or two, when the earth has
settled, as it will to a certain degree, the
tree may stand on little hillOck. The
trees, before planting, should be ten OF
twelve feet in height, with trunks three
or four inches in diameter at the surface
Of the ground.

If the reports received from Kansas
are correct, and there is no reason to
doubt them, that State has about all
that it can do to take care of the negroes
who have already gone there from the
South. The KANSAS Ereedman7s Relief
Association hasn't got dollar in its
treasury, and it has iustissued an appeal
for aid. The negro emigrants are in q
complete state of destitution, and yet
they will have to be taken care of for
another year, since they have no means
Of providing for themselves. They
can't 90 to farming for the reason that
they have neither land nor stock. There
is no demand for them as laborers, and
it is becoming a very serious matter to
know what to do with them. They are
very dependent and look to the white
people to advise and take care Of them.
It would be better for the Rev. Amiral
General Conway to turn his attention to
providing for them hefore making his
proposed trip down the Mississippi with
his armed steamboat, to induce more
negroes to go to Kansas.-[N. 0. Times.

a unique and popular entertainment. Some
seventy persons arc to appear representing
some of the novelist characters An evening
of fun and acceptable refreshment is in store

Tonight at Plymouth church there will be a
soldiers memorial service, with an address
from DR.. Dana and appropriate music by the
choir. The exercises will be similar to those
held year ago under the auspices Of the Acker
Post. The service is a public one and the seats

any who attend. The pulpit will be appropri-
ately adorned with flowers and military flags,
though the arrangements are less elaborate than
they were year ago.


Tonight the Rev. Merritt Hulburd, of the
First NJ. E. church, will resume his disc ussion
upon the Roman Catholic church, interrupted
by the want of time last Sunday evening. The
discourse this evening will be prefaced by a
brief resume of the points presented last
Sunday, which embraced the history of the
church from the early days to its grand
proportions in the present. The GLOBE made
brief mention of the subject in its report il
last Mondays ISSUE and adds again that the
discussion SO far presented bears no marks
of captious controversy, but is given with al
evidences Of fairness or desire to be impair
tial. The sermon is one likely to attract
attention both from Catholic and Protestant
from the very features alluded to.

Considerable excitement prevails in
New York City over the discovery that
there is in existence club of men
whose sole object is to swear away life
and property wherever and whenever
they can. One of the members will
trump up charge against some citizen,
and the other will swear black is white
for him. They have repeatedly had
men arrested. and in many instances
succeeded in having them sent up on
perjured evidence. A few days ago one
of them accused a prominent dry-goods
merchant of having assaulted him, and
several of his fellows positively corro-
borated his story. They, however, gave
contradictory dates, and this fact led the
justices to investigate the whole affair.
Then the cat came out of the bag, and
one of them, being cornered, admitted
that the complainant and his witnesses
were members Of the reGurer's club,
and that their object was blackmail.
They are Polish Jews. and one of their
objects is to give peuured evidence for
such of their creed as may get into
trouble. They tried to prove an alibi
in the case of the Jewish incendi aries
who were recently sent to the state
prison for life.

The first sunshine of spring is deceit
ful, and the draft of air pernicious.
One needs to be as carefully swathed in
flannel during the spring thaw as under
the permeating influence of an autumn
freeze. Changes of temperature are
inslduous as they are sudden at this
season, and it behooves people with
lungs susceptible to atmospheric alter
nations to be most careful indoors and
out; to wear garments appropriate to
all seasons, never trusting to chance. A
needless person may throw upon over
taxed shoulders burden grevious to
be borne by inattention to these things
which only perpetual Consciousness of
facts could spare them. / know an es-

experiments; it Is God-given treasure,
which no one but coward and an idiot
will recklessly risk or throw away.
Hence, it behooves US 10 make the
