TIMELY TOPICS. Tables prepared nt Washington elve the aggregate production of the three ireat agricultural staples of the South ern States for 1878 as follows: Cotton, '5,200,000 hales; sugar, 212,000 hogheads; tobacco, 672,tX0,000 pounds. In 1877 this production was: Cotton, 4,811,423 bales ; sugar, 127,753 hogheads ; tobacco, 660,0O0COOu pounds. Charles Iteadc is outdone in the story which Nathan G.

The latest "fastest" ocean steamer is the Arizona, which is the largest steam er now in service and which reached Quecnstown in seven days, eight hours and eight minutes from New York, beat ing hnr previous trip, which was also her first one, by one hour and a quarter. The speed of ocean voyages does not necessarily increase thedancerof them. for it is the perfection and excellence of the machinery used which enable the newest steamers to outsail the old ones. For people who spend ocean vovnees in the agonies of sea-sickness the quicker the trip is made the better thev like it. and provided safety be not sacrificed to speed, the saving of a day in crossing the Atlantic is an object for travelers of nil classes. In relation to cotton production and consumption the United Stales Economist gives tables showing that for eleven years, ending with the crop of 1860, the total production of the country was 37, 410,097 hales. The annual average yield 3,K0,J72 hales. For the fourteen years, ending with the crop of 1878, the yield, was 50,759.108 bales, the yearly average lxing 3,615,31'J bales. The coming crop is put at 5,200,000 bales. The percentage increase is, for the three years ending 1850, !).J per cent. ; for the throe years ending 1859, 7; for the two years ending 1801, 20; for the three years ending 1871, lfi; for the three years end ing 1m7H, llj j for the three years ending i" (, w ; lor tne two years ending 1879, 154. During the first eleven vears fol lowing the war. the production reached 36,310,881 bales, an average of 3,300,099 per annum , against 37,410,097 for eleven years ending 1861, an average annual production of 3.400.972. The average crop for the 1: -t fourteen years exceeds tne average production for the eleven years ending 1861 by 215,000 bales. The crop now coming to market, if current estimates of it be correct, exceeds the largest crop prior to the war by 377,000 oaies. Fruits for Food, Henry Ward Beecher says there is no sense in the old familiar motto, "Fruit is gold in the morning, silver at noon. nd lead at night." His reasons for this opinion he thus states : Because, witli a limited experience. people perceive that some folks can eat iruit at one time and not at another. they lay down this rule for all. The cases where fruit is unhealthy at night are uie exception. It is truo that in tropical climates. heavy fruits, difficult to digest, ought uui to ue utKfii at mgUL. But the fruits that are on our North, era farms are all healthy, as a rule Among the excellent small fruit arc cur rants, gooseberries, raspberries, straw berries, grapes, mulberries these last are a very much neglected fruit ; there is no oeuer iruit tree lor children than the Downing s ever-bearinemulberrv. One of them will bear fruit for eight or ten weens steadily, constantly ripen ing, and ple.ising ali the fowls and tur keys, children and old folks. I would rather have this mulberry to-day than a strawberry. The common mulberry is fiat and sweet ; but this has a tine sprightly acid taste, as finely combined as lemonade. As you go up, you lave the apple, which is the patriarch, or the Abraham. of all fruits. If I had to choose but one fruit out of all in the world, I should decide for the apple. For uses ot every kind, early and late, winter or summer, cooked or raw, ap ple is king. Then comes the cherry, then the pear., then the plum and the peach- I have not mentioned oranges, because they are not raisablo in the North; hut they ought to be eaten at the right time, which is all the time from getting up in the morning till you go to bed nt night. The man with whom they disagree is the exception. A Million Dollars Under Water. Some parties in San Francisco, who have been working up the matter for some time past, have discovered the wreck of the steamer Brother Jonathan, which foundered off Point St. George, near Crescent City, in July, 1865. She lies in an upright position in about twentv-two .fathoms of water, about fifty fathoms' from the submerged rock on which she is supposed to have struck. There was about $1,000,000 in Treasury, notes and bullion in her safe, and the finders are fitting out an expedition for the recovery. The treasure belonged to the government, whose claim is Jield to have lapsed on the expiration of ten years after the loss. , THOMAS BLASCIIARD. The Inventor ot Machine for Turning Irrra-itlnr Forma, A brief bioeranhv of Thomas Blanch- ard, the inventor of the mechanical com bination lot turning Irregular lorms, who died at Boston in 1805, has just been issued. The writer, Asa II. Waters, savs that although the nanre of Thomas Blanehard is not so popularly known ns many others who have nclneved fame from single inventions, the writer hoiniy asserts that "it may bn questioned whether another inventor can be named in this country or in hurone, during the last century, who lias produced so many different labor-saving machines, applica ble to such a great, variety ot uses and which have contributed so largely to the common necessities, comforts and econ omies of life. This language may seem extravagant, but it must be remembered that not an armory exists in this coun try or in England where guns are mado hardly a human being thnt wears boots or shoes scarcely a vessel that sails upon the ocean not a school where slates are used not a carpet laid down, but that owes tribute to the genius of Thomas Blanehard for producing articles cheaper and better. The same may bo said of carriage wheels, plows, shovels nnd various articles of furniture. Latterly, his machines have been applied to carv ing, to architectural designs and even to statuary much to the surprise of artists. Indeed, there seems to be no limit to the uses mnde of Blanchard's inventions, and it is impossible at present to enumerate them. One catf hardly go into a tool shop, a machine shop, or a workshop of any kind, wood or iron, where motive power is used, in which he will not find more or less of Blnnchard's mechanical motions. Blanehard was a native of Sutton, Mass., nnd was born June 21, 1788. His father, Samuel, was a farmer, and lived on a poor, remote strip of land, where there was absolutely nothing to suggest a mechanical motion. While on the farm Thomas gave little if any promise of the latent powers within him. There was nothing in his surroundings to ex cite them. Ho was misplaced; schools were remote and he seldom attended, for lie was afflicted with a perverse im pediment of speech, so that the boys called him " Stammering Tom." At the age of eighteen lie was engaged by his elder brother, Stephen, to assist him in his tack mill, which he had just started in West Millbury. Young Thomas' duty was to head the tacks in a vice, with a hand hammer, one by one. Once in a mechanic shop his dormant genius began to wake up. Kre ho had spent many months heading tacks, one by one, he had desigued, constructed and put in operation a machine which would cut and head them at one motion twice as fast, as the ticking of a watch, nnd better finished than those made by iiand. So perfect was it in design and construc tion it was continued in use more than twenty years. It is said to be still in existence, and experts who have seen it say no essential improvement has ever been made upon it. The reputation of the boy's success in his brother's tack factory led Mr. Asa Waters, who had in the same town of Millburyan armory, where he manufactured arms for the government, to send for the budding in ventor, nnd there young Blanehard, at almost a glance nt the old professes for shaping gun-barrels, suggested an im provement by which the irregular butt of tne barrel couin dp turned by machinery, and afterward produced a machine for turning out the gun-stock. The germ of the stocking machine lay in that calm motion, and it was then and there, nshc afterward said, that the idea of his world-renowned machine for turning ir regular forms first Hashed through his mind, although it required some months to elat.orate and bring it out. Blaneh ard was afterwnrd called to the Spring field armory, where his machines were introduced and adopted by the govern ment. His machine for producing ir regular forms was applied to avast num ber of special purposes. Unlike'many other inventions, tins was really the dis covery of a new principle in mechanics, whereby the machine is made the obedi ent, faithful servant of man, to work out hi.- designs after any given model, be it round or square, crooked or straight, however irregular, and made to repro duce the original shape exactly, every time, mis perfect umtormity 01 rsiancli ard'sworK suggested t lie idea of having ail the parts of the guns made at the ar mories perfectly uniform, so as to be in terchangeable. Hitherto they had been lifted separately, like Swiss watches and carefully lettered or numbered. This is the method in all our workshops even to the bolts ot a carriage or a com mon bedstead, and woe to him who mis placed one. It was Blanehard who first rendered possible the accomplishment of the desired result with respect to arms, and to him the writer gives the credit of the origin of the "uniformity system" which has revolutionized mechanic pro cesses in nil our workshops; perfected and greatly cheapened mechanic pro ducts, and driven from use the old sys tem ot numbering. Blanehard realized bjit little pecu niarily on his patents, for they were so pirated upon that he had to spend many thousands of dollars in defending his rights in the courts. He succeeded in getting an extension of his patent for producing irregular forms, but at the end of the extension he had made prac tically nothing on it, and began to think of trying for a second extension; but such a tiling was unprecedented, and Blanehard. knowing that great opposi tion would be made to another renewal. thought he would resort to a little strata gem. He fitted up a machine for turning busts from marble blocks, took it to Washington, obtained phister casts of the heads of Webster, Clay, Calhoun and others, and exhibited the busts in the rotunda of the Capitol. The mem bers were quite astonished when they found that these busts were wrought out by a machine, and that they wero more exactly like the originals than any human hand could make them. It pro duced a great sensation. They all tsup posed it a new invention. Blanehard said, "No; not a new invention, but a new application of an old one of mine from which I never realized much, and I want the patent renewed." A resolution was introduced in the Senate by Web ster to renew it for a term of years, and it was rushed through without delay. When the news was first proclaimed from Springfield of a machine which turned gunstocks, mechanics came float ing from near and far to see it. Among those attracted were two members of the British Parliament, then traveling in this country. When they returned to England they reported the wonderful invention of Blanehard, by which the Americans were getting greatly in ad vance cf them in gun manufacture, and moved a resolution for the purchase of similar machines. A true John Bull mem her then arose and ridiculed them unmercifully for being so badly sold and played upon by the cunning Yankees. The very idea or turning a gunstocic is absurd on the face of it, as all must know who ever saw one." Finding the resolution would fail the two members withdrew it and moved for a committee to go to the United States armory and report upon the facts. The committee came over, examined the workings of the m ichine. returned and reported the Tacts to be as at first stated. The doubt- ing Thomas rose and said the Americans might have got up something to work their soft woods, pine and poplar, but it would never stand the test of " our tough English oak and hickory." Upon this, doubting Thomas himself was chosen a committee to go over and ex nmine. He was not to be imposed upon ; he would rxposo this humbug. Select ing three rough stocks of the hardest, toughest timber he could find, ho went to the Springfield armory incognito, brought his stocks to the stocking-room. Bnd inquired of the overseer if lie could grant hi in the favor of turning them. " Certainly, sir, take a sent." Without making tlie least alteration of tho ma chine, the overseer run the stocks through iit n few minutes, and then went on with his work as though nothing unusual had happened. The English man examined the slocks, found they were turned all tho better for being of hard wood, and ho was completely dumbfounded. Afier musing awhile, he frankly confessed who he was why lie came, and his thorough conviction of the utility of the machine. Before he left the city ho gave an order in behalf oftho British government for this and tho accompanying macliines, somcsix or eight, which amounted to some forty thousand dollars 1 he machines were built nt Chicopee, shipped to England, and have been in use there from that day to this. Words of Wisdom. ft is more honorable to acknowledge our faults than boast bf our merits. It's human nature to love to make experiments at tho expense of others. You should consider your adversary ns nbsent when his senses are departed. Those gifts are ever the most accepta ble which the giver has made precious. The first step to se.f-knowledgn is self-distrust. Nor can we attain to any knowledge except by a like process. Some men aro with their diameter much as they are with their money ; the less they have the more careful they have to be. Tears nre to be looked at not as proof of very deep sorrow, but as a gracious relief to the killing intensity of such grief. The sun, that mantles the mountains kissed by the clouds and the morning's sun, ami speckless as the lily's inmost leaf, is not more pure than n pure woman. No man can stilt himself up, or seek applause on friends in high places, or loud praise. If he belongs to the front he will get there in time, and will remain there when ho does arrive. The gentle mind is like n calm and peaceful stream that rollouts every ob ject in its just proportion. Tho violent spirit, like troubled waters, renders hack images of things distorted and broken. One had better sail boldly in almost any direction than drift without any di rection nt all. One had better sail in the maddest storm that ever troubled the sea o!' life than l'e on tho sea and drift with any chance wind that chooses to blow. Happiness is a frail plant which sel dom lives long on earth. It springs up when it will; often in quiet, shady nooks and corners, but seldom in cultivated gardens. It often blooms whore one would least expect it and then suddenly and unexpectedly dies. Lt a face be backed by blood and mettle, let the sou4 be harrowed by ex perience and mado mellow as a plowed field by furrows thai have torn it up: let it bo mado charitable by tho sins of others, by a sense of its own sins, and you have a face that will wear as many changes of expression as the wind nnil weather. The Dog that Stole the Kittens. A citizen on Adams avenue, East, who owns a handsome Scotch terrier dog the mother of three handsome puppies took tho young canines away and sold them, to the great grief of the mother. At that time a cat owned by a neighbor was carefully raising a litter of four kit tons under the floor of a barn owned by the master of the terrier. It was noticed that the terrier w.vs very deeply inter ested in the kittens, and earnestly watched the movements of tho feline mother. The next morning the cat left her family, and during her absence the terrier carried her kittens, one by one, with tho greatest care, to tho basket nest once occupied by her puppies. With the utmost tenderness she cuddled her self into the basket with the kittens about her and awaited the return of the mother cat. When sho did come back she was wild to find her nest robbed, and wsis not long in tracing them to the terrier's basket. Then there was a light, which was ended by the interference of the owner of the dog, who restored the kittens to their mother afld soundly pun ished the dog for the theft. All the next day the. cat remained by her kit tms, while the terrier busied herself hunting around for food, which sho tar ried to the cat's nest, and which, of course the kittens could not masticate. The difficulty wasovOrcome by interested observers, who placed milk at their ser vice, and while the kittens supped the terrier stood guard, successfully repul sing all efibrts to interfere with their re past. Detroit Free Press, Too Many Snake Bites. During the haying season an honest eld farmer out on the Gratiot road em ployed three young men from the city to he p cut ana store his timothy. None of them liked work half as well as whisky, and a .conspiracy was the re sult. About noon one day one of the trio fell down in the field, shouting and kicking, and the other two ran to the farmer with wild eyes and called out that their companion had been bitten by a rattlesnake and must have whisky. The farmer rushed to the house and brought out a quart, nnd the three harvesters got a big drink all around on the s'.y, while the "bitten" one had a lay-off of half a day. The next forenoon a second one was bitten, and again the farmer rushed for his bottle. It was a nice little job for the boys, and on the third day the third one put in his claim for a bite, and yelled for the whisky bottle. The farmer took the matter very coolly this time, and after making particular inquiries as to the size of the snake, location ot the bite, the sensation and so forth, he slowly continued : "Day before yesterday James was bitten nnd drank a quart of good whisky. Yesterday John was bitten and drank a quart more. To-day you've got a bite and the best thing you can do is to smell their breaths r.nd lay in the shade while the rest of us eat dinner!" The man got well in tea minutes, and not another rattlesnake was seen during the season. Detroit Free Pres..

In India the people feed mostly on rioo and fruits; in Greenland on oil and seal-flesh. The rice and fruit are quick ly and speedily digested, and thus meet the wants of those whose nervous rx penditureis reduced to a minimum by the climate, which also furnishes them with nearly all the heat they need. On tho contrary, tho Greonlander's groat, need is heat, and this ho finds in tho food with which nnture nhundartly mpplies him. The loriner keeping up his old diet in Greenland would speedily perish of cold ; the latter would as cer tainly perish in India, either consumed by tho internal fires, or breaking down bv sheer inability to digest his arctic food. Wi of the temperate regions swing like a pendulum between tho two. We nre Indian in summer and tireenland crs in winter. Yet how few observe tho distinction in enlingl But our individu al intelligence should do for us what nature nnd tho inherited experience of ages do for our tropical nnd arctic brethren. In winter wo need an abundance of heat making food fat, sugar, starch. Our whole mental and physical system then works vigorously, and ex pen is it self rapidly; And hence we need more food, and iii a more concentrated form. In summer wo need but little lieat niaking food. but. in its place, the cool ing fruits nnd vegetables of the season. The diminish"; activity, also, of our mental and bndilj systems reduces our digestive i.bility fully one-third. Little flesh is needed." and no fat at all. Fish is pref'i-ablo to beef. Nothing is better suited to tho season than milk, freely used, with all tho various fruits. Youth's Companion.

An IniDortniit t.eolutclcal Fnct. Geology has shown us that nature accom plishes her greatest revolutions in the earth's surface conformation slowly. Every year the river makes its channel deeper, the glacier wears a deeper gorge 111 the Alpine rock, nnd tho ocean tide deposits tho sand it has crum bled trom the rocks upon which it breaks. We note the earthquake a-.d the devastating hur ricane; but these changes ore so gradual man seldom observes them until tho cbanm 1 has bi'come overhanging elius, or a mountain has disappeared belore the icy stream, or tho ocean has given ns a Florida. Thus it is in disease. Our attention is attracted by acute diseases, 11s O vers, cholera, etc., while chronic diseases (often ho most dangerous in result ), being slow in their development, nre seldom noticed until they have mado an almost inetlacenblo impression upon the system.
