The CovIIle Candj-rulllng. There was a "candy-pulling" at Mrs. Goville's residence, the other evening. There were some forty peo ple present and they made a jolly occa sion of it. Every one In attendance was pleased with the cordial welcome and asnidnons attention given by Mr. and Mrs. Ooville. And, indeed, that worthy couple did show a thorough ap preciation. Mr. Ooville may, perhaps, have winced a little when some face tious member of the party threw a two pound hunk of the candy on the stove pipe, nnd roared to see it trickle down ; and Mrs. Ooville may have looked thoughtful a moment on discovering a pan of dripping molasses on the key board of the piano ; but they entered into the amusement with hearty good will, and, when the guests departed, nt 2 p. m., it was with the unanimously expressed conviotion that nobody ever had a better time, and that the Covillcs were the sweetest people of their ac quaintance. In another and less agree able sense they certainly were. When the visitors were gone, the Covilles took a glance over their parlor, sighed audibly, put out the lights, and went to bed. With the unrelenting light of day upon the rooms, the Covilles appeared to the best advantage as a very sweet family. Mr. Ooville went down stairs in his stocking-fect, and as soon as he struck the hall he commenced to shed yarn. Reaching the parlor, finally, with the cords iu the backs of his legs nching from the exertions they were subjected to, he immediately collapsed into a chair and smote his forehead in abject despair. There were yellow streaks on the stovepipe, and dork stains on the keyboard of the piano, and auburn clots on the carpet, chairs, and wall. They were a light-hearted and joyous people, were those candy pullers. There wasn't an article Mr. Ooville touched against but that he had to tear himself away from. He found treacle in his boots when he attempted to draw them on, and it seemed at one time os if he would have to cut his legs oil at the knees to get free of them again. And when he rose up the chair came with him that is, came part way up and then dropped off in an unex pected manner, and rapped him severe ly on a very sore heel. There was a sheet of paper on the chair, and glaed rather tightly to it, but with enough melancholy candy on its upper surface to take a still tigher hold of Mr. Co ville's pants, and to hang there even after its ally had dropped to the floor. And it being part of a programme of a panorama, and that part containing the principal announcement in very large type, Mrs. Colville, who had now made her appearance, and was tiying desperately to free her stocking foot from an extra large gob of the trouble on the door-still, was astonished and horrified beyond measure to behold her husband dancing about the room in a very ecstacy of rage, and advertising in a verv conspicuous manner, " Views of the Holy Land." "Why, Hezekiah Coville," she screamed, " what on earth are you doing with that thing on your pants ?" "An outraged heaven only knows what I am doing, or going to do 1" cried the miserable man, clutching at the panorama bill and bringing away a handful of it. "I never see such a house as this," he protested, with tears in his eyes, " since the day I was bom. It is as good as $200 damage. I'd butt my brains out against the wall, said he, glaring around gloomily, "if I could find a place clean enough to do it." " I wouldn't be such hogs, if I were some people I know I" exclaimed the unhappy woman, and sinking on a chair she burst into a fit of passionate weep ing, hilo Mr. Coville renewed his agonized dance and hurled the most dreadful imprecations at society. But this was not all the trouble. Dis figured walls, a ruined carpet, and spoiled furniture were bad enough ; but the crowning evil of the occasion, the very pinnacle of the family despair, was Master Coville. buch a spectacle as that young gentleman presented, when he appeared, was never before seen in any family, we are certain. There was candy in his ears, and in his eye-winkers, and down his back, and in his pockets, and on his clothes ; and there was candy on the inside of his jacket sleeves, and so much of it that he could not, trying his best, get that garment more than part way on. And as for his hair, no pen can describe it, and a steam-plow woman t attack it. it was just simply matted witli candy. Had he plunged headlong into a hogshead of the molten article, his cranium would not have been more thoroughly smeared with it. " Where on earth that boy could have been, and how he ever got such quantities over him, no one could tell. To a mind of ordinary busi ness capacity, it would have been a very cutncuit matter to decide winch should be saved the boy or the mo lasses. Mr. Coville no sooner saw him than he checked a mouthful of invec tives with a suddenness that made him gasp, and, dropping into a chair, fell to staring at the struggling and besmeared youth with all his might. Mrs. Coville. with greater presence of mind, went for him at once, and, taking him by his sound ear, shook him till he rattled like a popper of corn. All efforts to get a oomo into nig nair were unavailing ; and, made desperate by its resistance, the disgusted parents clipped it off the father sitting on the struggling legs, and holding, with the grip of a vice, the struggling arms, while the operation was performing. With his hair thus cut, the miserable boy was nearly driven to the verge of despair, but finds some consolation in feeling of an iron bolt whioh he constantly car ries in his pocket, and which he de signs driving, at the first favorable op portunity, against the skull of a certain insurance agent who was at the party, Danbury News, The Human Blood. The axiom that we die daily " is aptly illustrated in a paragraph of Prof. Redfem's paper on Biology recently read before the British Association. Referring to the blood, it is said that the duration of life in any of its parti cles is but short ; they die and their places are occupied by others, and so continues a substitution which only ends with death. After every meal an amazing number of white corpuscles are added to the blood ; breakfast doubles their proportion to the colored oorpusoles in half an hour ; supper in creases their proportion three times, and dinner makes it four times as great. They come from such solid glands as the spleen. In the blood going to this organ their proportion is one to 2,260 ; in that returning from the spleen it is as one to sixty. Perhaps the most stu pendous fact of organization is the steady maintenance of but slightly variable characters in the living and moving blood, whioh is every moment undergoing changes of different kinds, as it circulates through each tissue and organ in the body, ORGANIZED BURGLARY. A Fact, and a Hint, and a Remedy, The successful masked robberies in banks and in private families suggest some efforts at a remedy, and in rela tion to bank robbers wo find one ta the following statement of the Hartford Times as to an occurrence in the at tempted robbery of the bank at New Canaan, in Fairfield county : Mr. Raymond, the State Treasurer of Conneotiout, lives in New Oanaan. One night, about 1 o'clock, he was awakened (or perhaps he may not yet have gone to sleep) by a peculiar booming sound, like an explosion. He awakened his wife and asked her what that could be. She said it must be somebody blasting down the lino of the new railroad : but Mr. R. (who was one of the bank direc tors) felt that nobody was engaged in " blasting " at that hour, and he hastily dressed and went toward the bank. This was three-quarters of a mile from his house. Before reaohing the bank he saw three men around the bank steps, and another in front of the dwelling house opposite. Then an other and another appeared ; and Mr. R., wisely deeming it unsafe to go further, rau to the nearest house and rang up the inmates, then ran to another and awakened the family there, and then aroused the family in the next house. The robbers, seeing through the darkness the figure of a man run ning from house to house, beat a pre cipitate retreat. Their wagons were ready waiting, and they all slid off in the darkness, ten or a dozen of them, Mr. R. thinks driving toward the New York line. On entering the bank, the neighbors found the watchman bound and gagged. The outer door of the safe was blown off, but the inner one had not been opened. The watchman, on being re leased from the gag said he was sud denly and silently seized by three men, in the darkness, on the bank steps, as ho was coming down, and his hands so held that he Could not reach his re volver, while a third robber, with the stern command, "Not a word 1" held the blade of a long glittering batcher knife ngainst the watchman's throat. Meantime three others had taken possession of the house and family op posite the bank, and held the man, wife and children in one group, under threat of loaded revolvers ; and that family, standing by the front window, were compelled to see all that was going on across the way with the bank watch man. After binding and gagging this functionary, the robbers placed him about ten feet from the safe, and, fill ing the lock with powder, lighted the fuse one of the rascals remarking to the helpless watchman, " We will wait a minute out doors." The explosion that followed was the sound that awoke Mr. Raymond and led to the arousing of the neighbors. Luckily for the watchman, though it blew off tne heavy outer door of the safe, it didn't hurt him. Before lighting the fuse, the watch man says one of the robbers said to him : " I'm going to take out yourgag for a minute to ask you a question. If you make any noise " drawing a huge knife, and placing the keen edge of the glittering blade upon the prisoner's throat "if you 'holler' I will cut your throat ; and I would as soon do it as I would kill a rat 1" The watchman, with the knife on his throat, saw that the villain meant it ; and the latter con tinued : "And if you don't tell mo the truth, I will kill you. Now: Does the cashier of this bank ever come here in the night, after nine o'clock." The watchman answered " No." " Does he keep the key to this safe ?" " I honestly don't know. I am not in the secret." " Who has the key to this combina tion ?" "I cannot say. I am only a hired watchman ; I know nothing of these things." Finding this to be the case, they re gagged and bound the watchman, and left him is the building while the fuse was burning for the explosion. For this explosion the guarded family op posite waited in compulsory silence, with almost as much interest as the poor watchman. The latter official, when he was seized, saw some of the robbers at the opposite house, one of them a tall man over six feet high, who had been seen in the village for nearly a fortnight, often passing the bank. Another had been seen about New Canaan for a few days before the night in question. Evidently they had thor oughly informed themselves of the character and habits of the bank offi cials, and had decided to blow open the safe, rather than go for the cashier. Mr. Raymond says that if they had had twenty minutes more, the robbers would have secured 150,000 in money. As it was, they got nothing. It was Mr. R's. wise course in quickly arousing a number of citizens that decided the robbers to beat a hasty retreat. They didn't relish the idea of an aroused neighborhood. Had he, or any two men of New Canaan, gone among them, their lives would probably have been sacrificed. A Trouble fn the Way. A candidate for Congress in the Mil waukee district was in the field two weeks distributing nis money and mak ing things lively, when it was ascer tained that, although a resident of Mil waukee for nearly thirty years, he be came a full citizen only in November, 1872, and is therefore ineligible under the Constitution, which requires every representative in Congress to be a citi zen for at least seven years. Under the State laws of Wisconsin, any alien residing in the State one year, and having declared his intention to become a citizen, is a voter, and thus the candi date has been a voter daring more than twenty years without being a citizen of the United States. But now this law of Wisconsin interferes with his going to Congress, although he has served several times in both branches of the State Legislature, and has been acting Mayor of Milwaukee for a term. The rrerention of Typhoid. The Royal Academy of Medioine of Belgium has published a quarto volume on typhoid fever, in which the nature, the causes and the treatment of that deadly disease are fully considered and discussed by Dr. Cousot, who, by the way in which he has executed his task, has gained the gold medal offered by the academy. After showing in what typhoid fever consists, Dr, Cousot ex plains the means to be taken to prevent its contagious effects, and among these, phenio aoid and ooal-tar oooupy a prominent place. Both are active dis infectants, and the acid mingled with water to a hundredth or a thousandth per cent, is efficacious for sprinkling, for deodorizing and for washing.

Hun drods of poople are naked and on the verge of starvation, and without meens to leave tho State. Out of Work and Out of Bread. The clearest and best proof of the want or of the presonce of prosperitv. says tho New York World, is to be found in the condition of the labor market. A winter of great hardshin closed last spring with thousands of men longing and begging for work at almost any price. Tho summer has seen them idle, and an attempt is made to show liow far sucn enforced inaction extends. The figures which we have obtained are gleaned from a widely-extended personal observation. They cieveiop a worse conamon of allairs than a yenr ago. In the inquiries which we nave made an investigation has been entered upon in all branches of lnbor.from tho highest skilled labor, bordering closely upon the arts and professions, down to the simplest form of manual labor. In the course of an investigation made in New York city, no manufacturing establishments ex cept those who deal with the neces saries of life, and a few exceptionably favored by a patent or some other cir cumstance have been found which are employing the number of hands or turning out the product which they did a year ago. In most cases this reduc tion amounts to from one-half to one third of the pay-roll and the products of the establishment. In the trades, where the same inquiry has been prose cuted, tho number of men out of em ployment amounts to a fourth of the entire number, and in manv trades to an even larger fraction. The intelli gence offices report on increase in the applications for work, which show a corresponding want of employment in all branches of domestio service. About one-third of the day-laborers in the city are also out of employment. It may be seriously questioned if in this case the number does not amount to one-half. The answers given by nearly all contractors indicate that this is the case. Nearly a month, and in some some enterprises two months, must elapse before work must stop at the approach of winter. In most years these closing weeks are the busiest of the year, and contractors are driving their work forward with increased forces. Tho condition of affairs now shows a state of utter stagnation, which can end only in destitution and want as never before known on this island. It was easy last year to explain the con dition of affairs ; now employers assign no reasons, and in utter bewilderment, in answer to the questions by which facts have been elicited, could only de clare that they were in utter ignorance of any reason. Lest it should be thought that New York is exceptional in the large number of its laborers, it should be said that New York has pro portionately a smaller share of day laborers in its population than any other city in the United States.

St. Augustine is situated on the east ern coast of Florida. The place has had a moBt eventful history. Menendez drew the attention of the Spanish na tion to the spot by his landing there in 1565. St. Augustine was then occupied by a French colony. This colony sur rendered to Menendez, and some six teen persons were slaughtered. Sir .Francis Drake attacked and burned it in 1586 ; the buccaneers now and then landed and plundered the helpless inhabitants, and Indians massaored the missionaries. A Richmond man, who had been com plained of for keeping a vioious dog. put the animal upon the stand as a witness. On being asked if he would bite any one, he uttered a peculiar noise, and shook his head. He was then asked if he would bite if his mas ter set him on, and replied in the affirmative by nodding his head and barking. When asked if he. would bite the court he shook his head vieorouslv. and this secured for him an honorable acquittal.
