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,

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.

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.

The People's Stamp of Value. The Gov
ernment indorsement, whioh legalizes the sale o
Plantation Bitters, is not the ouly stamp affixed to
that famons Vegetable Tonic. It bears, in addi
tion to that official sanction, the still more valu
able stamp of publio approbation. This inesti
mable voucher of its rare properties as a Tonlo,
Corrective and Alterative Is world-wide.
How to Look Young Sixteen. Don't
paint 01 use vile Hit r Restorers, but srmply apply
Hagan's Magnolia Balm upon your face, neck and
hands, and use Lyon's Kathairon upon your hair.
The Balm mokes your complexion pearly, toft and
natural, and you can't tell what did It. It removes
freckles, tan, sallowness, ring-marks, moth
patches, etc., and in place of a red, rustic face, you
have the marble purity of an exquisite belle. It
gives to middle age the bloom of perpetual youth,
Add these effects to ft splendid head of hair pro
duced by the Kathairon, and a lady has done her
boat In way of adornment. Brothers will have no
spinster sisters when these articles are around
