TOPICS OF TflE DAT. The surplus in the United States treasury over the national expendi tures was 137,000,000 in 1866; it was only $2,000,000 in 1874; in 1831 it was over $100,000,000; in 1882, over $145,- 000,000, and 1883 it was $133,000,000. This gives a per capita wealth of $2.66. A French inventor, who has pat ented a machine for the use of con centrated solar rays as a general mo tive power, has set up three of his machines in Algeria for the French government lie is now carrying on experiments at the island of Porquo rolles, near Hyeres, in France, where he is threshing Indian com and rais ing water by the action of the sun's rays. Indiana has a Jay Gould in the per son of E. 11. Shirk of Peru, who owns seventy-three farms in Indiana that are all in a high state of cultivation. He also owns thousands of acres in Texas, Arkansas, Michigan and lowa, nine residences, business blocks with out number, some of them being situ ated in Chicago and Indianapolis, three banks, several stores, and as many mills, which he conducts himself. It is conjectured that the "bad lands" of Dakota may owe their condition to a process which may now be seen go ing on in the region between Bismarck and the Little Missouri river. Over n tract some two hundred feet square the air quivers with the heat, sulphu rous vapors make a crystaline deposit on the edges of crevices in the soil, and a reddish glow is given out. This results from the combustion of coal beneath the surface, and it v. as going on when the region was first \ isited by white men. An Illinois woman named Margaret Bobbins, wife of a well-to-do farmer, got mad at her husband ten years ago because he lost some money she brought him, went to bed, saying she would never get up or do a stroke of work, and has been there ever since. She felt tired three years ago, started to go to the breakfast table, fell and broke her ankle, and has not left the sheets since. She is as cross as a bear, scolds everything an inch high, keeps a broom handle to pound the patient daughter who waits on her, and knows every bit of gossip and scandal going within thirty miles. An organ which has just been built in Germany is believed to be the largest in existence. It counts one hundred anl seventy-four registers, and is worked automatically by a of four-horse power. Its height is twenty metres, its width eleven, and its depth ten. Its largest wooden pipe is ten metres long, and of a cubical capacity of two thousand litres. The instru ment is to be set up in the cathedral at Riga. For the St. Stephen's cathedral of Vienna the same builders are soon to construct a still larger organ. The well known organs of Boston, Ulm and St. Petersburg were built by the same men. A railroad superintendent has given the San Francisco Call an estimate of the cost of an average train on a first class railroad : For an express train locomotive, 112,000; baggage car, $1200; smoking car, $5000; dining room car, $12,000 ; five first-class Full, mans, SIB,OOO each ; total, $120,000. The ordinary express train represents about $85,000. Some Pullman cars cost $30,000 each. The average value of a freight train is still greater than that of a passenger train if the rolling stock and value of property are in cluded. Sometimes the through freight trains aggregate in value from $250, 000 to $300,000. The bird population of Wisconsin is estimated at sixty-six per square mile, or 3,565,000 for the State. Each bird is assumed to eat fifty insects a day, or 6000 for the summer. Hence, all the birds will consume 21,384,000,000 in sects a year. Add to this amount the work which these birds do in their Southern homes, and we have a low estimate of the influences they exert over insect life. Multiply these figures by forty-eight, for the States and Ter ritories, and we arrive at the con clusion not only that our bird popu lation is pretty large, but also, that, without it, our bug population would soon be so large that it would eat us UP-. Increase of Salmon. There have been fears expressed that the enormous consumption of sal mon in this country wijl cause a scarci ty of that delicious food fish. But these fears are groundless. At Asto ria, Oregon, all the offal of the salmon used for canning is thrown into the sea at the shore, the tanneries being fo situated that the. Pacific ocean at >&e mouth of the Columbia river re ceives all this refuse. According to the Portland Oregonian this seeming wastefulness is a means of constant reproduction of the salmon. The first operation in the canneries, the writer says, is to relieve the fish of their en trails, fins, heads, and spawn, and these are in almost every instance dropped ■into the river. Much of the spawn is, of course, eaten by fish or destroyed, but a goodly share finds lodgment in the bottom, where it hatches. It is a fact that the water about the canneries fairly swarms with young fish during the summer and lalb LA I EST NEWS.

Elder Morgan, of the Mormon Cfivrcn, passed through Kansas City en route for Salt Lake City, with seventy-eight recruits from the Southern States. The proselytes are of the most ignorant class, and appear to have no idea of Mormonism. They say they have been promised homes with no restrictions as to choice of religion. George, alias "Tid" Brimmer, the fugitive incendiary, has been captured in Harrisburg, Pa., and returned to the Lancaster jail. In effecting his capture the officers fired a num ber of shote at him, one of which took effect in his arm. Ike Buzzard, another of the es caped convicts, was in Brimmer's company up to within a few days, but left him at Har risburg to join his brother Abe in the Ephrata Mountains. Brimmer is the third of the twelve escaped convicts who has been re cantured. Reliable information confirms the previous report of an accident near Bradford Station, Tenn., on the Southern Division of the Illi nois Central Railroad. Train No. 3 going south was flagged at Bradford for orders. "While the conductor was in the telegraph office getting the orders, his engineer, who had failed to see the flag, rang the bell, and, on receiving an answer by the bell-cord, left the station without the conductor. Unsuc cessful attempts were made with a freight engine whistle to call him back. When two miles below Bradford a lady living along the ling flagged the train, and it was coming to a stop when a north bound passenger train came round a curve at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and the trains coming together both were wrecked and five cars burned. Mr. Co burn, an express messenger; a telegraph lino repairer and a colored porter were killed. The engineer of train No. 3 was seriously hurt, and seven or eight passengers were in jured, but none seriously. Major Burke, of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, and wife, were passengers. The Major escaped unhurt, but his wif was slightly injured. GENERAL NEWS. LONDON, NOV. 16. —An attempt to shoot M. Ferry, prime minister of France, was mad® yesterday by a young man who declared him self a communist. The doctors declare him to be a lunatic. The report that the prohibition against American hog products had been removed by the French government lacks confirma tion. It is reported that of two female nihilists recently arrested, one was executed and the other killed herself. The nihilist organ published in St. Petersburg declares that an informer has been executed. There are rumors in France that Admiral Courbet has been defeated in Tonquin though the story is contradicted. Another dispatch says that Admiral Courbet has ad vised France to declare war with China. Chinese troops are being concentrated r.* Canton. The ordinance permitting the Philadelphia Steam Supply Company to lay its mains in the streets of that city was lost in select council by a vote of 8 yeas and 18 nays. The frequent underground explosions in New York seem to have inspired a wholesome dread of underground steam-heating. Harrison Crews, colored, employed as a baker in the Norvell House, Lynchburg, Va., has been arrested on a charge of having set fire to a stable. He has confessed to having been the author of the incendiary fires which have occurred there within the last three months. He implicates no one else and as s:gns no cause for his crime.

Washington ftotes In his testimony before the Court of In quiry investigating the causes of the failure of the Greely relief expedition, Gen. Hazen testified that the sergeant deputed to accom pany tho Alhnmbra from New York to St. John's in charge of the stores for the Proteus, returned to the United States without leave, claiming to have injured himself by falling down a hatchway. He had been examined by a physician, Gen. Hazen said, and his in juries were believed to be feigned. The man had acted as supercargo for the Greely exj>o dition, and his experience would have been valuable to the commander of the Proteus t To-day Gen. Hazen was asked if he did not think it would have been better if Lieut. Gar lington had superentended the loading of tho stores himself, so as to know where they were placed. Gen. Hazen said there would have been no difficulty about the matter had the sargeant done his duty. The sergeant, however, hud just been married before he ftarted for St. John's, and Gen. Hazen be lieved this was what acted upon his mind slid caused all the trouble about the store*. The signals begin at llh. r>Gm. 455., and cease at 12h. 75th meridian, mean time. The following is the time signals (75th meridian, mean time) to be sent out by the United States Naval Observatory on and after November 18, 1883: The signals to be 6ent out by the observa tory are wholly automatic, and consist of series of 6hort makes, produced in an open telegraphic circuit by the beats of a mean time clock, the pendulum closing the circuit at each beat. When these signals are received at posts where the time of the 90th meridian is used, they will give the time from lOh. 56in. 455. to llh., or just one hour earlier than when representing 7oth meridian time. Other wise the signals will be read in the manner above described.

Did not prudent host -1 esses in those days, with a shrewd eye i to profit, make the porridge so thin that it is reported of one hoarder that he stripped off his coat and mounted his chair, at dinner, to the horror of , the landlady, who asked— "What is the matter, Mr. Smith?" "I thought I saw a bean," said Smith, "and was going to dive for it." Was not one of tho good dames of those times famous throughout the colony for the thickness and richness of her bean soup, whose husband, it is reported, invited a governor or some ot her dignitary home to dine with him, promising him n rare luxury? It was lute, tho family had dined, and the mistress gone out for an afternoon visit. I " Never mind," said the host, " here is tho porridge-pot, still on the crane : in the chimney," and forthwith howls of steaming liquid were spread upon j the table. " Wife's soup is not as good las usual to-day," hut by crumbling bread into it they man aged to make a ! meal. At tea the husband said— "My dear, seems to me your bean : soup was not us good as common." " Where did you get it?" "Out.of the pot in the chimney- I corner." j "Blessme," said the horror-stricken J wife, "that was my dish-water." Baked beans, baked salt-pork and rye and Indian bread were the luxu ries of Bean Hill. Beans every Satur day night, or the oven-tops would fall in. Why on Saturday night? It was said to be commemorative. In Indian war times an alarm sent tho settlers scurrying through tho woods to the block-house. One lady said she left an oven full of good things, and two adventurous men stole up through the | alder swamps and returned with whole scalps, and the garrisoned community made a supper of baked beans and brown bread, and thenceforward the custom prevailed till it spread over • the Union, along with hasty pudding, | to which Barlow dedicated an ode, and succotash, which the Pilgrims learned to make of the red Cape Coddies. 1 Thanksgiving was regarded as a sacred time a centuiy ago. A negro slave of Governor Huntington, of Norwich, j was thoughtlessly chopping wood on a 1 Thursday, Thanksgiving day, in late ' November. One of the young ladies j called to him— " Saml)o, you musn't cut wood to | day—it is Sunday." "Sunday," said Sambo, reflectively; "we no hah baked beans last night." A traveller in prairiedom rode up to a log house on a Saturday night as the family were sitting down to supper. His flrst salutation was— "When did you hear from Bean Hill last?" "How did you know we were from j Bean Hill?" " By your bean pot, of course." Holiday (lifts. Don't put off your purchases until the last moment, hut commence your pleasant duty in good season. Next to the happiness of the children the j chief delight of Christmas probably is 1 the buying of presents. Not the pur chase so much as the search for what will please. It is not the amount of money spent, but the amount of; thoughtful care which you bestow on the selection. A pretty hook, or a modest pin, a little graceful addition to the wardrobe or a little parlor orna-1 ment, something that with pretty j forms combines practical usefulness j will oftentimes win genuine thankful- j ness as easily as a costly diamond or a pair of shining bracelets. It is not easy to buy Christmas gifts, and not every one can make proper selections. Many a man and many a woman, who does not need to count the shillings, is >ften in a quandary, when confronting the wealth of the stores, and savs in capricious petulance: "If I only knew ! what to get for mother, brother, sister," as the case may happen to he. Christ inas shopping, therefore, should not he the work of a moment or an hour, at (east with those who have more than one beloved one to provide for and have the means to care for all. But it should he a task well thought over. 1 You should have your eyes open all | the time and when you see any pretty, 1 portable and presentable objects, you should bear in mind that these are the j very things which you will want, when the day comes along, and secure them at once.

Ford, editor of the Mountain Tribune , of this place, publishes that the great pain cure, St. Jacob's Oil, has worked won ders in his family, and that he would not he without it. He states that among all the people St. Jacob's Oil is the most popular medicine ever intro duced. A Mistake. There are numerous ways in which young folk can make themselves un pleasant to society, and one of the most successful in this direction is an attempt to he original. They imagine they can turn the world round by some eccentricity of dress or behavior, or by some method of speech. In general, they offend their friends, and delight their enemies. As a matter of fact, people had better let well enough alone, take up the customs of those about them, and rest assured that what the collective wisdom of the world agrees to do, is on the whole best. Here and there may he room for change, and possibly fur improvement. It might he better, for instance, that engage ments only lasted six months; that drawing-rooms should he abolished as useless, or nearly so; that wedding breakfasts were improved off the face of the earth, and that a dozen other alterations were made in our social customs. It is very noble, possibly very heroic, to pose as a regenerator of society. All the same, people who are content to take things as they are will find the world wag more easily with them than if they themselves troubled to try to regulate the laws of giavita tion. In nine cases out of ten young people will find the path of safety in following cusfoms which are the rule. Originality may be exciting, but in the majority of cases where it is tried, it will he found to entail a good deal of trouble, and not a little personal worry. A HUMAN FIRE.

The phrase originated from the old word scot, or shot, meaning primarily money, but used in the sense of it reckoning.

Fri.LFn, with the New Home Machine Company, of Orange, Mass., writes, May 2fl, 188.": "Ihavoused Hunt's Remedy in my family for over ten years. My wife was troubled with catarrh of the bladder, suffered intense pain in the kidneys and loins, and urination was accomplished with the greatest of agony. My friends thought that she could not recover. We tried doctors and medicine \ and although better at times she would grow worse again. She was obliged to use the uiinal as many as fifteen times in a night, and was growing worse daily. At this time my attention was called to Hunt's Remedy, and I concluded to try it: and after nsing one bott'e she was a good deal better, the inflainmatic n was reduced, and the water more natural. She began to gain in appetite and let no pain in the back and kidneys. She could attend to her household work without pain, ar.d this had been a great burden to do, even the lightest kind of work. After using six 1 ottles she was completely cured. Since then I have had occasion to use Hunt's Remedy for kidnoy and liver com plaints, and found it to be just as represented, and I corsider it a most wonderful medicine. I would not be without Hunt's Remedy in my family: and I have recommended it to my friends here in Orange with equally good results." Lost Faith In Pfaynlrlans.

They said it would do the patients no good to know, and that it would only be grati fying a foolish curiosity. In order to keep patients from knowing, they would write the prescriptions in dog-Latin, so that most patients could net read them. All tnat sort of thing is now over. The patient wants to know what he takes. Me is weak, and wants to be strong, or he is dyspeptic, and wants to digest well. ■ Or he has a troublesome liver which he wants to put to rights. So he takes Brown's Iron Bitters about which there is no mystery at all. This is the best preparation of iron in the world, in com bination with gentle yet efficient tonics. It gives strength. r lt builds up enfeebled systems. It enriches impoverished blood. It removes feminine weaknesses. It casts out debility.
