" Take that home with yon, dear," raid Mm. Lewi*, her manner half smi ling, half serious. "Take what home, Caddy?" And Mr. Lewis turned towards his wife, curiously. Now, "Mrs. Lewis had spoken from the moment's impulse, and already part IT regretted her remark. "Take what home?" repeated her husband. "I don't understand you." "That smiling face you turned upon Mr. Edwards, when you answered his question just now." Mr. Lewis slightly averted his head, and walked' on in silence. They had called in at the store of Mr. Edwards to purchase a few articles, and were now on their way home. There was no smile on the face of Mr. Lewis now, bnt a very graTe expression instead—grave almost to sternness. The words of his wife had taken him altogether by sur prise ; and, though spoken lightly, had jarred upon his ears. The truth was, Mr. Lewis, like a great many other men who have their own cares and troubles, was in the habit of bringing home a sober, and, too often, a clouded face. It was in vain that his wife and children looked into that face for sunshine, or listened to his words for tones of cheerfulness. "Take that home with you, dear." Mrs. Lewis was already repenting this suggestion, made on the moment's im pulse. Her husband was sensitive to a fault He could not bear even an im plied censure from bis wife. And so she had learned to be very guarded in this particular. "Take that home with you, dear! Ah me! I wish the words bad not been said. There will be darker clonds now, and gracious knows, they were dark enough before! Why can't Mr. Lewis leave his cares and business behind him, and let ns see the old, pleasant, amiling face again. I thaught this morning that he had forgotten how to smile; bat I see that he can smile, if he tries. Ah! Why don't he try at home?" So Mr*. Lewis talked to herself, as she moved along by the side of ber hus band, who bad not spoken a word since her reply to his query, "Take what home?" Block after block was passed, and street after street was crossed, and still there was silence between them. "Of coarse," said Mrs. Lewis, speak ing in her own thoughts. "Of coarse he is offended. He won't bear a word from me. I might have known, before hand, that talking out in this way would only make things worse. Oh, dear! I'm getting ont of all heart?" "What then, Caddy?" Mrs. Lewis almost started at the sound of her husband's voice, break ing, unexpectedly, upon her ear, in a softened tone. " What then ?" he repeated, turning towards her, and looking down into her shyly upturned face. "It would send warmth and radi ance through the whole house," said Mrs. Lewis, her tones all a-tremble with feeling. " You think so ?" " I know BO ! Only try it, dear, for this one evening." "It isn't so easy a thing to put on a smiling face, Caddy, when thought is oppressed with care." "It did not seem to require much effort just now," said Mrs. Lewis, glan cing np at her husband with something of archnese in her look. Again a shadow dropped down upon the face of Mr. Lewis, which was again partly turned away, and again they walked on in silence". "He is so sensitive !" Mrs. Lewis said to herself, the shadow on her hus ban's face darkening over her own. "I have to be as careful of myself as if talking to a spoiled child." No, it did not require mnch effort on the part of Mr. Lewis to smile as he passed a few words, lightly, with Mr. Edwards. The remark of his wife had not really displeased him ; it had only set him to thinking. After remaining gravely silent, because he was under going "a brief self-examination, Mr. Lev is said— " Yon thought the smile given to Mr. Edwards came easily enough ?" "It did not seem to require an effort," replied Mrs. Lewis. " No, not n uch effort was required," said Mr. Lewis. His tones were slight ly -depressed. "But this mast be taken into the account; my mind was in a certain state of exoitement, or activity, KHKIX K 1 HTZ, Ktlitornnd Proprietor. VOL.

How different it often is when we are alone, 1 need not say. Yon, Caddy, arc guilty of the sober face at home as well us your husband." Mr. Ijcwis spoke with it tend* r reproof in iu his voice. " But the sober faco is caught from Tours oftener than you imagine, my husband," replied Mrs. Lewis. "Are you certain of that, Caddy ?" " Very certain. You make the sun light slid the shadow of your home Smile upou us ; give us cheerful word* ; enter into our feelings sud interests, and there will be no brighter home in all the land. A shallow on your coun tenance is a veil for my heart; and the same is true a* resjH*cts our children. Our pulses strike too nearly in union not to be disturbed when yours has lost its even beat." Again Mr. Lewis walked ouin silence, hi* face partly averted ; and again his wife beg.iu to fear that ahe had spoken too freely. But he soon dispelled tin* impression, for he said: " I am glad, Caddy, that you have spoken ihus plainly. I ouly wi*h that yon had done so before. I see bow it is. My smiles have been for the out side world—the would that neither loved nor regarded aie—and tnv clouded brow for the dear ones at home, for whom thought and care are ever-living activities." Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were now at their own door, where they paused s moment, and then went in. Instantly, on passing his threshold, Mr. Lewi* felt the pressure upon hint of his usual state. The hue of his feelings liegan to change. The cheerful, interested ex terior put tm for those he met in busi ness intercourse, began rapidly to change, and a sober hue to succeed. Like most business men, his desire for profitable results was even far in ad vance of the slow evolutions of trade ; and his daily history was a history of disappointments, in mime measure de pendent upon his restless anticipations. He was not as willing to work and wait as he should be ; and, like manv of his class, neglected the pearls that lay here and there along his life-paths, because they were inferior in value to those he hoped to fiud just a little way in ad vance. The consequence was that, when the day's business excitement was over, his mind fell into a brooding state, and liSgercd over its disappoint ments, or looked forward with failing hope to the future—for hope in many Ahings, has been long deferred. And so he rarelv had smiles for his home. "Take that home with you, dear," whispered Mr*. Lewis, .* they moved along the passage, and before they had joined the family. She had au in stinctive consciousness that her hus band was in danger of relapsing into his usual state. The warning was just in time. " Thank you for the words!" said he, "I will not forget thom." And he did not; but at once rallied hitn-.elf, and to the glad surprise of Jenny, Will, and Mary, met them with a new face, eovered with fatherly smiles, and with pleasant questions, in pleasant tones, of their day's employ ments. The feelings of children move in quick transitions. They had not expected a greeting like this; but the response was ins'ant. Little Jennv climbed into her father's arms. Will came and stood by his chair, answering in livelv tones his questions, while Mary, older by a few years than the rest, leaned against her father's should er, and laid her white hand softly upon his head, smoothing back the dark hair, jnst showing a little frost, from his broad, manly temples. A pleasant group was this for the eyes of Mrs. Lewis, as she came forth from her chamber to the sitting-room, where she had gone to lav off her bonnet aud shawl and change iier dress. Well did her husband understand the meaning look she gave him; and warmlv did her heart respond to the smile lie threw back upon her. •* Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pictures of silver," said Mr. Lewis, speaking to her as she came in. " What do you mean by that?" asked Mary, looking curiously into her fath er's face. " Mother understands," replied Mr. Lewis, smiling tenderly upon his wrife. " Something pleasant must have hap pened," said Mary. " Something pleasant ? Why do you say that?" asked Mr. Lewis. " Y'on and mother look so happy," replied the child. "And we have canse to be liappy," answered the father, as he drew his arm tightly around her, "in having three such good children." Mary laid her cheek to his, and whispered: "If yon are smiling and happy, clear father! home will be like heaven." Mr. Lewis kissed her ; but did not reply. He felt a rebuke in her words. But the rebuke did not throw a thill over his feelings ; it only gave a new strength to his purposes. " Don't distribute all your smiles. Keep a few of the warmest and brightest for home," said Mrs. Lewis, as she parte d with her husband on the next morning. He kissed her, but did not promise. The smiles were kept, how ever, and evening saw them ; though not for the outside world. Other, and many evenings saw the same cheerful smiles, and the same happy home. And waa sot Mr. Levis a better and happier man ? Of course ho was. And so would all men be, if they would take home with them the amiling aspect they so often exhibit, as they meet their fellow men in business intercourse, or ex change words in passing compliments. Take your smiles and cheerful words home with you, husbands, fathers, and brothers. Yonr hearts are cold and dark without them. Peril* of Whaling. On the 14th of September, 1872, the bark Orray Taft, at anchor near Marble Island, Hudson's Bay, parted her rabies and went ashore, landing high and dry, in such a position that she cannot be got off. On the 19th of October follow ing the bark Ansel Gibbs went ashore at the same place, went to pieces, and is a total wreck. The Orray Taft had no oil, but the Ansel Gibbs hat! 660 barrels of whale oil and 11,000 nonnds of bone, most of which was lost. A small amount was saved by the Abbie Brad ford. No men were Jost at the time of the wrecks, but both crews were obliged to live on the island until the 2d of Au gust last, and f'-om exposure and the lack of proper food were attacked by scurvy. Tiie winter was fearfully cold, being the most severe for a number of years, so that the natives of the island died by scores, apd the wrecked crews suffered exceedingly. Ten of the crew of the Ansel and four of the crew of the Orray Taft died. Under the new judicial system of Ohio the Supreme Court judges are to hold office for ten years instead of five, as at present ; Circuit Judges for eight years; Common Plea Judges for six years ; and Probate Judges and Jus tices of the Peace for four years. THE CENTRE REPORTER. Two Moil-Combatant* Killed. -%w KC|*lmlt In tl® Kltf With lit* lu ll In u uf ilt BlwtliMvil* Two Indian* of the party who were engaged in the tight with Ouster in the Northwest, says a reporter, who hud made the diversion from the mam body to cut of stragglers from the train were seen making for the " Bod Land*." They were hotlv pursntsl by the cavalry and 'Lieut. Brush, but under rover of the numerous ravines which afforded them a favorable opportunity of escape, succeeded in eluding their pursuers The Indians sn* thoroughly acquainted with these "Bad Lands," and their ponies sre used to climbing them. Iu such ground they sre more than a match for our best American horses. The two bodies were fontul by u party of iufaiitrv. They proved to be the bodies of l>r. Honsinger and Mr. Bah ran, the cavalry sutler. Dr. Honsinger was shot through the laxly by a Henry ride ball. Mr. Balirau was killed by two arrows which entered his back, coming out through his stomach. Ever since we left Fort Rice, in spite of the order prohibiting straggling, many of the men had been in the habit of cut ting loose from the train, to hunt game or moss agate, wandering from half a mile to two miiea ; but Dr. Honsinger was never known to leave the column. Mr. Balirau seldom left it. Dr. H. was tin* last man in the expedition who would have been selected as a victim of this dangerous habit. His absence was easily explained. The day was one of intense heat. The Doctor's horse had had no water since morning. The river lay only a mile away. The train would evidently camp on the river bottom. Oen. Custer, he knew, had gone on with his soldiers. A couple of miles back along the river was the surveying party with a cavalry guard. There seemed to l*e little daugcr in going to the river. He took the chances, risking his life to give his horse a drink of water. The Indians won the wager. Mr. Balirau waa in company with Dr. Honsinger, and going to the river for the same reason. One of our Indian scouts who could not speak English met the two us they were descending into the valley. The quick eye of the scout had seen the Indians. He stop ped the Doctor, and said: "Indian*, Indians." " No. no," said the Doctor; "they are cavaltr, cavalry." The scout took hold of their bridle-reins and tried to turn their horses back. They refused to be convinced, and the scout left them to their fate. It must have been soon after that the Indians were upon them. The nature of the wounds showed that both men must have been shot in the saddle. They had turned after seeing the Indians, and tried to climb the bluffs. The Indians had fired and brought them both down. The Doctor, having the better horse, had nearly reached the top of the bluff, when the ball overtook him. Strange to say, neither of the party were scalped. The Indians took Mr." Balirsn's money, amounting to about SIOO, and the Din-tor's watch. The bodies wen* not mutilated. Per haps the sudden departure of the frightened cavalryman for assistance was seen, and their departure thereby hastened. Dr. Honsinger had served through the war, and had previously accompanied (ten. Fremont on some of his expeditions. He had lcen a long time connected with the 7th Cava'ry, and was greatly esteems*! bv officer* and men for his personal nnd profes sional qualities. He resided in Adrian, Mich. Mr. Baliran was also a favorite in the cavalry. He has a wife and child in Memphis, Tenn. The Sathan Murder. Benjamin Nathan was murdered in his bed-ch*ml>er on the aeeond floor of hi* residence, near Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street, New York, in th< early morning of the 29th of July, 1870. The occupants of the premises st the time were the deceased, hia two *ona, Washington and Frederick, a woman servant and her son, a young man of twenty-four, named Kelly. All the circumstances pointed to the fact that the murderer or murderers were in the building before the family retired. There wire no signs of housebreaking, and it is probable that, as tho house was undergoing repatr*, and as the front door wa* left wide open during the whole day to allow of the easy in gress or egress of the workmen, the per jietrator of the deed entered from the street in the ordinary way without at tracting attention, secreted himself in the library, and awaited tho coming of Mr. Nathan, to possess himself of the key of the safe which it was his inten tion to rifle. The instrument used by the murderer was a ship carpenter's iron dog, which it was supposed had been stolen from a house in Fifth avenue in 1869 by burglars who used it on that occasion to open drawers and safes. This dog was looked upon by Superintendent Jourdan as a most im portant clue. Some of tho burglar* who bad entered the Fifth avenue man sion and stolen tho dog therefrom sub quently committed another burglary and were sent to Sing Sing, where they were at the time of the Nathan mur der. This murder has received new in terest from the confession of Irving in California, who confesses to a partici pancy in the affair. Assaulting an F.ditor. A Harlem, N. Y., correspondent, gives the details of the brutal assault upon theeditorof the/ocaf of that place. The paper had been out spoken in local politics. Threats annoymons and open were made, but the editor kept on. Some months ago Gibson, tho editor, having received a caution not to attend a meeting, persisted in attending, and there made an exposure. Within two or three nights n young man so like Gibson as to Le easily mistaken for him was set upon and beaten so brutally that he is still an invalid, and may bear tho penalty of his unluckly resemblance for years. Gibson, despite this warn ing, persisted in his course. A man ac costed him at tho door of his offlce, asked him if his name was Gibson, and on his afllrmative reply threw the contents of a tin cup in his face. The cup contained vitriol, and as a result tho editor had one eye burned out and the sight of the other impaired. It seems probable that as Mr. Gibson had a clear view of the assailauts, there were two in company, and as he did not know them they were imported scoun drels—murderers by the job. Bid not Like It. A South Boston woman of wealth who had run up a milliner's bill, when it was presented, gave the money to her husbund to pay it, but he instead put the money in "his pocket, and gave a forged receipt to liis wife. After sev eral months of waiting, the creditor dunned the lady for her money. "Why," said she in surprise, " your bill is paid, and I have your receipt in my pocket." Thus was the forgery discovered ; but it is liardlv necessary to state how that woman whirled out of that shop and went for that recreant husband ; she " saw " him and the bill was paid be fore night. A whirlwind on a Manitoba prairies is related to have formed a "Lay spout," CENTRE IIALL, CENTRE CO., PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1873. Ilun Salt is Made at Kanawha. Wit recently visited the great Kan- ! awha Valley to examine the salt work* and to ace the process of manufacturing tin* article of universal table use. l'lic deposit exists here ill the form "f brine, which is drawn up from wells from IKK) j to I.IKKI feet iu depth. It i* found on Initli sides of the Kanawha riv. r for flf- ; teen miles above Charleston iu K est Virginia. The brine ut the Snow IliU Furnace Works, wlti.Hi is HI the heart of the saline district, is reached by Imr ing to the depth of tHK) to 1,100 feet. The well at the bottom is three and a half inches iu diameter aud grows larger toward the top. The water rises natur ally to within 200 feet of the surface, anil is taken from this depth by steuni pump* into a large reservoir above the level of the evaporating vats. Each pump deliver* from 15 to 40 gallons u minute according to its capacity, and it j takes from 50 to 60 gallons of the brine j to make a bushel of the salt. The first process is to get rid of the iron which I* found iu the brine. It p;ia*es through eight large vats heated by steam, and the irou i* precipitated to the bottom, . leaving the briue pure. The heating i done bv copper steam-pipes. Three five inch pijws pass through each vat, which evup >r.ite# the water rapidly. After the iron is disposed of the brine paascs into other vats at a lower level, and the salt settles at the bottom of the vats as a sediment. The rait is shoveled from the vats every morning upon a pisi form, and after draining and drying a few hours is removed in wheelbarrow* to the large bin where it is packed. The brine ia free from sulphate of lime and the salt ia remarkable for iu dryness and purity. The help employed over these steaming vats is mostly f recti men, who are stripped to the waist and si-em to enjoy the steam bath iu which they spend their working hours. The packing is principally in barrels, winch an* found to be cheaper and bet ter in some respect* than sacks. The barrels arc made of oak staves at Charleston of two sizes, holding 5j and 7 bushel* each of 50 lb*, to the bushel —hooped with hickory. Both white oak and hickory abound iu the neighboring forests, and the cooper shops are cheap ly supplied from this source. The bar rels are made strong and solid at 40 to 44 cents each by the quantity. The salt is put immediatelyou Isiard the steamer at the Snow Hill wharf to be shipped down the river for the Western market or to be transferred to the Che*iqeake and Ohio railroad at Charleston for the East. The capital invested iu these works is about $125,000. The copper pipes used in pumping and cva|H>mting cost about $30,000. One very great ad vantage which the manufacturer* here have is the extreme low price* of fuel and the facility for transportation. The liest of splint coal is taken from the mines close by and delivered at a cost of from one dollar to a dollar and a quart er a ton. The salt has water carriage by the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers to all the large packing cities in the West, and rail communication with the East. The retail price of the salt here l* $1 $0 per barrel, which is altotit 50 cents a bushel of 50 lbs. From the impurities in the manufacture 120 lb*, of bromine are made daily, which is sold for 75 cents a pound. Lands in the valley for aoricul tnrsl purposes are worth from SIOO t<> etiti<>n to a certain extent, and looks a good deal like mouojioly. It would seem that an article of necessity, in use upon every man's table, should have all the advan tage of competition, and be furnished is cheaply as possible. It is claimed by the salt manufacturers here that they make the purest and best salt in the world. Tin* will lie received with some grains of allowance in the East, where they managed to park meat and salt butter in a very creditable manner before Kanawha came into their mar kets. Now that communications are opened and Snow Ilill comes in eompe tiou with Onondaga and Liverpool, we shall soon have npportunity to judge of their comparative merits. The Hudson Baj Com pan j. The Hudson Bay Company had, in an early daj, nearly a monopoly of the trade of the north-western section, and they were as independent of all the arts of winning custom by obliging manrers as the French merchants in the days of Moliere. The store wa* hut np three hours in the nusdlo of the day for dinner, and the customers roasted in the sun outside until it opened. A clerk throws tlio desired goods at a purchaser and seizes his money abruptly. No wrapping-paper is furnished, but each customer brings a large colored handkerchief for tea, another for sugar, and so on. Only one qnality of tea is sold; but that is good. A certain number of chests are o|>ened every morning. If they should be emp tied by noon none will be opened until the next morning, though somo custom - crs may have come twenty miles to buy tea. The commerce of the settlement in that day was carried ou by meaua of carts, to which were hitched single oxen or ponies. The same carts are used now on the hunt. These carts nro made without metal; the wheels are tired with deer-thongs. The long trains of sever al hundred carts, with great cumbrous wheels, arc straugely gortesque. In the winter this gives way to dog-sledges. Such dogs! I trembled at sight of them, until I found that they were not given to biting. One man kept twenty-four of thees monstrous dog-liornes. In tho oldeu time, before communi cation was opened through St. Paul, the mail reached ,the settlement jnstonoe injsix months, byway of Hudson's Bay. One enthusiastic resident took the Lon don Time*, receiving it in half-yearly installments, which he straight-way spread out in a heap, oldest papers up permost. Every morning ho took off just one paper, and thus kept up the sensation of having fresh news every day. Ha would lay down his paper in the midst of a buttle and save the rest until the next morning. lie was nearly a year behind tho world, hut that did not matter. The news was fresh to him. Hon Milk Is Manipulated tn Chicago. This is the way the Chicago milkmen "fix" tlicir lactial wares: They skim the milk, tokiug from every twenty gal lons from two to four quarts of cream, which they sell at the rate of one dollar per gallon. They then put about a tablespoonfnl of brown sugar in liquid form to every eight-gallon can of this skimmed milk, and this restores the rich, creamy color to such an extent that the most experienced dairy-woman would be deceived. They also add a trifle of salt, which improves the taste, snd the fluid is theu ready for sale. Ml this on the authority of an indig nant milkman, who contends that the public will not pay enough for pure milk, and goes on to expose tho tricks of the trade. The Oneida Communists are overrun with applications for admission. The King of Forger*, Tbs l.ssl Via) *#• strOunnrll, the ll.uk uf Kuslou'l ttuue, as is generally supposed, McDonnell started for Vera Crux. Here he lodged a portion of hia money and obtained letters of credit on a house in Rio. He urxtset sail for the latter port and introduced himself to some of the banks there by dejHisiting smull amounts of money. He represented himself ss a gentleman traveling iu South America for pleasure. From Rio he journeyed in and crossed the Andes, and after vis iting Lima and other port* along the western shore line he prepared to return to Rio, having meantime lodged a few thousand dollars in each place, Tor which he received letters of credit Having provided himself with theaehe returned to Rio, where he met Bnlwell, who had just come from Havana on a similar mission, and the worthy pair of broth ers sailed for England. On the passage the letter* of credit were auci-esafiilly manipulated aud a credit of fifty thousand dollars waa easily raised on the paper they held witli'which to commence the banking and brukeiaga business. These letters of crediy first gave the Roths -hilJ con fidence ill McDonnell, who had so ar ranged hia deposits that the letters of credit could not IH* verified by telegraph. The swindlers had only a limited tune to run and yet immediately after his arrival in Loudon McDonnell was stric ken down with sickness, aud was oou fined to his bed for six weeks, everyday of which was must precious to him. He had scarcely n-eovrred wheu the "firm" was started, and the remaiudrr of the story lisa l>een told in the courts. Sim ple carelessness in sending in a raise*! check without ir-date aroused the suspi cion of the Bank of England officials aud burst the " bubble." Bnlwell had ordered a magnificent trunk for his voy age to South America when the explo sion came, and in a few days more the swindlers would have bade England good by for ever with six hundred thou sand dollars between them. It is be lieved ly the detectives that McDonnell gave a large sum of money to a young Herman woman on his last voyage to New York. When he was seized she managed to get sway with the crowd, and has not since been beard from. McDonnell's magnificent dressing case, worth five hundred dollar*, is still IU the Sheriff's office in New York, uuder attachment.

A New York paper gireathia instance of the way careles* people are taken in in that city. The same game is played every day with success: A tall man. about forty years old, with whiskers, l>eard, and moustache, called on Police Superintendent Malscl] and said that he had l>eeii swindled out of 8140. In Shandakm, Ulster county, he carries on business as s chair maker, keeps a saw mill, and works a farm. He comes to New York about onee a month to fill orders for chairs, ami collects consider able money On Wednesday he arrived here, transacted soma business, and took a room at a hotel. In the evening he made the acquaintance of a atyliah ly-dreased young 'roan, who by adroit iincstioning learned that hia name was Hiram Whitney, and, in fact, all about him. While walking down Broadway, he waa accosted by a well-dressed man with, "Why, ia it possible, Whitney, my dear fellow, how are you? when did you arrive in town? Where are yon staying? How are thev all in Shamlakin? Come, let's take artation concerns not the banker, the merchant, aud the capitalist uf our Htates alone, but it concerns the mechanic, the farmer, the lusnufacturer, and the consumer of this entire land. To a wan of wealth it mnttcrs little what may be the price of a barrel of fiour or a ton of coal, but to those soua of toil who earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brows and the blood of their hearts it matters much what they pay in dollars and cents for the necessities of life. It ia to them an earnest aud sober question. Workmen! whv is it that you are pay ing sll aud sl2 fur a barrel of floor when you should not pay more than SB, and |erhaps not more than $7 7 The reason is found in the great expense necessary to transport that barrel of flour from the wheatiilelds of the West to the grain-marts of the East. Why is it you are obliged to pay SV and $lO for coal when you should not pay more than SO, and perhaps not more than $5 7 The reason is not because of the scarcity of ctal nor the want of lalx>rer, nor is the fsult to be found in Elixabethnort or in and around the markets of New York. The reason is the great price charged by railroads for the transporta tion of the coal from the mines of Pennsylvania to the coal markets of New York. Why is it that the farmers of the West are, ss a class, poorer to day than they were five years ago? Why are their farms more habitually mortgaged, and the owner* themselves deeper in debt 7 The answer l* simply that the labor of their hands ha* proved unremuner ative, from the fact that they have been unable to pay the enormous freight charges for trui>s)>ortiug their products to the buvers and consumers in the East Yhe question of cheap trans portation then applies itself directly to the industrial interests of the country ; and if we would have general prosperity among all classes of our citiseua, we must foster aud protect with jealous care the industries of the Republic. We must have the benefits of cheap trans portation at once for the farming in terest of Illinois, for the cotton port of Mississippi, for the coal mining of Pennsylvania, and for the manufac timng interests of New England. The interests of the North, South, East and West arc mutual snd reciprocal. You cannot, you cannot over enrich one class of your ciliteus without corres pondingly impoverishing another. True prosperity depends not upon the pros perity of a few, but upon the general pmspeaity of all. The draft drawn at sight upon the blood and sinews of the door man will have to be honored and paid sooner or later by the blood and sinew* of the rich man. What we want is that every man will stand shoulder to shoqlder with his fellow man, and that every branch uf industry shall be the equal and the counterpart of every other, as we go forth to lay the founda tion! of new Htates, developing the un told resource# of this great laud. I honor here to-night the City tJf New York for the promptness with which this stand haa Iweu taken. Tin* ia not the first time that New York haa taken her place on the side of right and on the side of the people. Tbe Corse of the Hour. There is too much lying. r at the dinner table tells exag gerated stories to astonish the ladies, and is nothing more than s liar. The florist assures you that his flowers were picked in the "morning, when thev are two days old. He lies, and will lie about anything. The book-publisher advertises that his book is selling by the tens of thousands, when he has not sold s thousand. He is a liar, and not one door from the murderer. Evervwherc, everywhere wc hear lying, lying, lying. Men and women who would knock you down if yon call ed them liars, lie* every hour. Decep tion ia the rule rather than the excep tion. Canvassers lie about insurance companies. Brokers about stocks. Editors about politics. Exaggeration and misrepresentation tule the hour and are ita curse. Oentlemen —ladies—why cannot the truth be told always and ever? Why all this deception and lying ? Why so much falsifying and cheating ? In the ame of all that is gout! wo beg you to o as you agree ! A Famllj Feud. Kentucky papers give an aeeonnt of a deadly enmity which has existed be tween two brothers, named Jasper and Clay Wadkins, for a year or two past, and* has resulted in the murder of the latter bv the wife of the former. The Burksville (buricr says that Clay was badly wounded. At any rate, Clay, as he was leaving his mother's house, re ceived the oonteuta of a double-barreled shot-gun in the lianda of either Jasper Wndkius or of his wife. The load took effect in the-bock, ami would in all prob ability have proved fatal. But it seems that Jasper wus fearful that Clay might recover. So, two days later, Jasper and liis wife went over to his mother's house. Jper got into conversation With his brother Clay, and they con versed a few momenta upon some sub ject. Jasper's wife, who had taken a seat near the bedside of lier wounded brother-in-law, after sitting a few moments, got up, and, drawing a re volver which she hod concealed in her clothing, walked up within two feet of Clay and fired on liini, the shot pene trating the heart, killiug him almost instantly. Jasper's wife is but a mere girl, being only about six'eeu or seven teen years of sge, and hail been married but a week. Saspcr and his wife were arrested.

Death from Latiag Toad Stools, Thiocotnniunity, says a Darien.Conn., letter, haa boon iu a state of excitement, occasioned by the sudden death of a well known and rea|>eetahie lady, long a resident of the town. The cireumatan eea of the caae are aa followa: —On Bun day morning last Mr. Albert Bruab, a lawyer practicing in Nor walk, aon of Mr A. C. Brush, snd Miss Ltllie Brush, his sister, went into *a tract of wood, near Noroton depot, to gather mush rooms. Their object in this waa to present a rare treat to their father on hi* return from church. They obtained a pi ck lmkct full of what they suppos ed were mushrooms, but which proved to be toadetuote—a deadly poison when taken into the stomach. They returned home very happy in their aucoeas; bad the mushrooms dressed, and Mrs. Brush cooked them with great akill. Mr. Brush came from church at one o'clock, and at once the family aat down to dinner. Mr. ar.d Mr*. Brush and tbqjr aon ate hearti ly of the mushrooms. The daughter simply tasted, but did not swallow any of them. During the afternoon more than once the conversation turned upon the delightful meal they had enjoyed, and how thankful they should fee) that children could exercise so much fore thought in behalf of their parents. At one o'clock Monday morning the three who had eaten of the mushrooms were taken deathly sick. Each arose and be gan vomiting, at the same time suffer ing excruciating pains in the stomach. Medical aid was called, bat little could be done to alleviate. Mrs. Brush, being in delioate health, waa completely pros trated. A counsel of physicians waa called, but it was of no nse. She lin gered until the afternoon of Monday and then died. No post mortem waa held. The physicians were in attend ance, and have*bees persistently atten tive to the wants of the survivors. # The son is yet a great sufferer, and doubts are expressed aa to his recovery. The father a condition is little, if any, im proved, and only by the greatest care can he be restored. The poisoning ia a subject of general conversation, the dif ference between mushroom* and toad stools never having been; brought in question before. The Baby Shown to Visitors. It ia an odd fact no baby ever did, and no baby ever will, behavo in com pauy. The -mother always brings it "into tbe parlor where the visitor ia, dreaaed in its clean dreaa, and iu father and its aunt corns in smiling at the same time. After the visitor haa kissed the baby and taken it on her lap, and declared it ia the dearest little thing she ever saw, the babv'* mother, and ahe begin to talk. Each talks about her own baby aa fast aa ahe can rattle, and both talk at once apparently without caring what the other ia saving. Presently the father winka fnriooaly at the mother, and frowns, and clears hia throat, and makes mysterious sig nals The mother snatches op in fant and fliee from the room. When she returns the child cries to go to iu father, and no sooner ia it settled on hi* knee than it betrays an irrseaitible yearning to go to lU aunt, after which it eriea fnriooaly because iu mother won't take it. Then the aunt gets a piece of candy to quiet it, and when it* Landa have ac quired sufficient stickiness, it reaches over and msula the visitor's bonnet. Then ita mother tries to ahov off ita accomplishments ; bat it utterly refuses to make a display ; it is aa stupid as an <*>•*. U -won't say "mamma" or "papa," "ami"it won't show how tug it is. It* • father tries to coax it to say "papa." but it pays no attention to him. He tries agaiu and again, getting madder all the time, and dreadfully afraid the visitofwill think his child i* dull. At last he grabs the child by the arm and ahakea it, and yells, "Why don't yon say Papa, as I tell you ?" Tuen the child scream# like a back-yard full of cats. The mors the mother soothes it, the lender it gets, till at last the father exclaims, "G me that brat f" and picks it tip and daahea out of the room, and is heard spanking it in the entry. Then the visitor goea home looking at her dress; and deciding that the end of that infant will be the gallowa, if iU charac teristics are allowed to develop fully as it grows up. llow to Manag* a Horse. A beautiful and kigh-apinted horse would never allow a shoe to be put on hia feet or any person to handle hia feet In an attempt to shoe such a horse recently, he resisted all efforts, kicked aside everything but an anvil, and came near killing himself against that, and finally waa brought back to hia stable unshod. This defect waa just on tho eve of consigninghim to the plough, where he might work barefoot, when an officer in our service, lately re turned from Mexico, took a cord snout the sixe of a common bed cord, put it in tlie month of the horae like a bit. and tied it tightly oa the animal's head, passing his left ear under the string, not painfully tight, but tight enough to keep the ear down and the cord in ita place. This done, he patted the horas gently on the aide of the head, and com manded him to follow; and instantly the horae obeyed, perfectly eubdued, and as gentle ."and ooedieut-as a well trained dog; suffering his feet to be lifted with entire impunity, acting in all respects like an old stager. The gentleman who thus furnished this ex ceedingly simple means of subduing a very dangerous propensity intimated that it ia practiced in Mexico and South America in the management of wild horses. Destruction of a Slater. "When steaming t the southward, along the Arabian ooaat, on onr way to Zanzibar to join the admiral, aaya the report of an English officer of a war vessel. we sighted, off Cape Madraka, a dhow, which on seeing ua immediately l>egan making for theahore. Of oonrse we gave chase, knowing what her game was, and steaming as hard as we'were able; but we did not succeed in cutting her off, and she beached, through a tre mendous surf, in the only saudy bay near. We then saw some of the crew land, and those left on board threw the slaves overboard, while those on the shore, assisted them to land as they were washed up. About 150 slaves were landed in this manner, and then the dhow broke up, and the slaves were conveyed in a long straggling line away toward the hills. Where they went and how they lived it is impossible to imagine, as there is no water for twenty miles round, so far as we know, and it ia an uncommonly thirsty-looking spot. The object of the captain in wrecking his vessel in this extraordinary manner Was to save as much of his cargo of slaves as pos' lble, though his chance of saving many was very doubtful. A correspondent at Munich, where there were, at last accounts, several cases of cholera daily, mentions the curious circumstance that the rooks aud crows which hitherto flew about the church steeples, and thronged the trees of the public promeuadss, have suddenly left the city, and it is asserted that the same thing happened in 1835 aud 1854, in which years the capital suf fered from a severe visitation of cholera. NO. 40. Foots and Beaton. *•.• ta Ih* V. a. a.a.l. ciuak.l. la one at bin remiaiaoeneea, Hon. Henry 8. Foots gives tbe following: " A mtu occurred in tbo Senate be tween Mr. Benton and myself wbtch I abould here briefly explain. In the summer of 1890, wbile Mr. Calhoun's remains were being transported from Washington to South Carolina, bnt be fore they bad left Washington, Mr. lien toe rune op one morning and made, aa I understood them, aome eery disre spectful alluaiona to tbe iiloatriuua de ceased. I stepped to the cbair of Mr. Butler, Mr. Calboun'a own Senatorial colleague, and urged him to aay some thing in response. He aeecned not ex actly to understand the import of Mr. Benton's words, and therefore responded to him in a eery confused and ineffective manner. I roan np to anbjoin one or two observations, in a style, aa I am willing to acknowledge, not a little ani mated and indignant Mr. Benton rose np suddenly from his chaur, which was some distance from mine, making at the time a prodigious noise, and ad eanced rapidly in the direction of my position, which was on the onter circle of seats, not far from the central door of tbe chamber, and seemed to be aim ing to get behind me wbile I was speak ing. in order to strike me whan in tbis unprotected attitude. I bad been warned by Senator Pratt only a day or two before that be had publicly threat ened to do me violence in tbe Senate if I ever undertook to allude to him again, and I had deemed it expedient to pot on arms for my own defence. I was wear ing at the moment a Colt's revolver, which I certainly intended to use should it beoome necessary. On drawing it, I took a step or two to tbe right, which carried me to the central aisle of tbe Senate. I then turned toward the cen tral door of the chamber, intending certainly if Mr. Benton abould paas the comer near my seat and advance a sin gle step down tbe aisle I was standing in, after having warned him of ray in tention, to fire upon him at once, con ceiving that in shooting in tbe direction of tbe central door I should be able to avoid doing injury to any one else ; for I undoubtedly did not intend to suc cumb to bis violence wbile in tbe de corous performance of my Senatorial duties. When Mr. Benton taw I waa armed be paused, and ia a second or two allowed Ckrv. Dodge, tbe venerable Senator from Wisconsin, to conduct him to bis cbair. Before be bad fairly re seated himself, Mr. Dickinson, of New York, asked me for my pistol, which I willingly handed him. Then it waa that Mr. Benton broke out again vo ciferously, exclaiming : •Lettheaaaaaain shoot!' at the same time theatrically tearing open big vest. I made a abort explanation of my oondnct to the Sen ate, after which the affair waa referred to a special committee, whose report and tbe evidence annexed thereto oc cupy one large printed volume, in which future generations will fiud a huge and somewhat incongruous mass of facts of a very ludicrous and interesting char acter."* Fettering a Bad Practice. There is a good deal said in ©ensure of the custom of jumping off and on the car* when in motion. It is righteous condemnation, but ia not oon*latent when coming from railroad companies. If they truly desire a reform they must begin'at home, for aa ion# as employees wiu jump on a train when in motion, and persist in doing it as gracefully aa thev do, an imitative public will be tbe sufferer*. People don t jump on a train before it stop# because they are in a hurry, bnt Iwoanae tbey have seen a brake man or conductor de it, and have a terrible dread of being surpassed. Now, at tbe station the other day, Conductor Phillips, of the eastern train, after giving the word to start, waited until the last car reached him, and then raising one hand to the rail and one foot gently from the earth, he swung majestically around, and waa at once firmly on tbe ear. Mr. Phillips weighs two hundred pounda, bnt there waa such grace and poetry in his motion that he seemed to blend with the car. F'i*t there waa yellow paint, and then gold leaf, and maroon, and Phillips. There was an elderly person who saw Phillips do this, and his eyes glistened with anticipation. He waa going on the western train, and when it came along be waited until a fine rate of speed was gained, and then raising bis hand and leg, just aa he had seen Phillips do, and looking carelessly away jnst as Phillips did, be reached out "for the rail, and tbe next instant was trying to push his head through the platform planks, and fighting tbe air with his heels, and madly pawing around with his hands, and swearing and praying at an awful rate.

A Pennsylvania farmer *ned • rail road com pan v for the loss of a barn by fire kindled Iby the sparks from a loco motive. In the lower court the jury awarded the farmer $2,300 damages. The railroad appealed to a .superior court. It was shown that the larn was some distance from the track of the railroad, and that the intervening space waa occupied by abundance of dry grass, weeds, Aa, by which the fire was communicated to the building. The court overruled the first decision, on the ground that aa no one ia reepon ponaible for the accidents from remote, but only for those from immediate causes, the owner of the barn must bear the loea. " Tbe sparks from the locomotive did not fire the barn, bnt tbe grass, and it was the grass which fired the barn." If a farmer should fell a tree or dnmp a rock on the brow of a bank, and the declevity of the bank ahonld roll the tree or rock on to a railroad track, would be be held liable only for the remote cause of felling the tree or dumping the rock, and the de clevity made answerable aa the immedi ate cause of the obstruction ?—Ex change. A Long Journey. The Hartford Courant relates the fol lowing story: "A young man, resident in this city, who was recently in a citv beyond the Mississippi, found himself possessed of twenty-five cents and a longing for home. Not being able to raise any more funds, he stepped on hoard a train of cars bound for New York. In time he was met by the con ductor, but was unable to pay him, and was put off at the next station. Board ing the first night train after that, ho took off bis shoes, and when the con ductor questioned him his shoes were not to be found. Being kind hearted, the conductor let him ride until be found them, which was not at onoe. In this way and by other shifts the young fellow actually reached New York last week. He was almost starved to death, having eaten nothing but a few crackers all the war. On this arrival here he" learned that funds to enable him to oome in the ordinary fashion, witheut so many changes of trains, had been sent to him. w Fanck*. ha* 10,800,000 acres of lend un- The United State* currency now out standing is said officially to be #401,- 583.484,08.
