F.rorrlHHly called her Hunch, although her real name was Marion. 1 suppoee some one gave her the name lxx*an*e she was no short and fat. She was scaroely four rears old, and I would not hare al • lows\ her in the school if she had been much trottble. She ically was a little bunch of goodness and smiles. Her mother was a very hard working woman, and was glad enough to pay fourteen ixuit* per week to hare her "little girl taken care of every morning, ereu if she did not learn mncii. I taught her tlie letter*. but that was abiint all. She had beeu iu the habit of taking a nap erery day, and I noticed each morning, about half past ten, her eyes would l*cgiu to grow heary and her head would bob about, and one day she almost tumbled from her ehair. 1 was sorry for her, and, t iking some shawls and rolling them for a pillow, I would place her near me on a small settee aud she would sleep, sometimes an hour. She was very pretty, and the scholar* called her " rWutr Buuoh," and "Sleepy Bunch," ami she answered to both loving little uaines. One day after I had put her to Ixxl. she seemed very restless and almost readv to cry. " What is the trouble, Bunch V ask ed L "Is so lonelr. Ido wish I had my dolly," said she. "Mamma always dires it to me when I have a nap. The chiklreu began to laugh at this, but shaking my head at them, I told her not to cry and I would make her one. Si* I pinned up a handkerchief for a white face and put a shawl about it for a dress, just as I had remembered "eeing my mother do, anl taking it to her, said : . "Little Bunch, here is a nice dolly." She opened her eyes wide and looking at it steadily said : " Bunch doesn't want it. Tisu't pretty a bit." I thought for a moment what I could do to get my baby asleep, and theu cut from some paper an animal and said: " Well, hero is a little rabbit that wants to be cuddled to sleep." I knew she was fond of rabbits and thought she would be pleased; but, looking very ranch astonished she said: " That a rabbit! He isn't white, and he looks awful hungwy." A happy idea struck me ; I hat! some small white bears which I used to teach the little ones to count with, and taking a handful said : " I think he is hungry; and you are such a kind little gul I am sure you will feed these to Bunny, and theu you can both go to sleep." The dear little girl said : ' ■ Well, I dess 1 will. I's sorry for uim." Soon she was fast asleep with the brown Bunny close by her neck. It was a sweet little picture, and I was glad I had made her happy. I returned to my lessons, but 111 less than half an hour we were startled by a little scream from Bunch, who, with a frightened look, cried out : " I don't want Bnnny. He spit in my eves." "Spit in your eyes. Why, my little girl, you know better. It's only paper," I replied. " But he did, and I want him put on your desk." I placed Bunny on the desk and won dered if the child had been dreaming, or if she was going to be sick. Scarcely had I turned my back when she called again: " 0, do come twick and see what is on my cheek !" I hurried to the child and sure enough, stuck fast on her fat rosy cheek was a large spit ball. I took it off and quieted her. Then, turning to the scholars, I asked each one separately if they had thrown it; every one said "no." Of course I knew some one had toid a lie, and I tried to think how to find oat the guilty one. My class hail increased to thirteen, but only three of the number were boys. One was very quiet; the other two had to be watched pretty closely. Both had been taken from the village school and were boarding near to attend my school. Edgar on account of ill health; Henry, a year younger, our minister's son, was sent here because so much complaint was made of him at the pnb lic school. He was a good-natured, bright boy, but brim full of mischief, I was very fond of him however. Now, as Edgar did not like to study and Henry was full of play, I made UP my mind it was one of the two who had. disturbed little Bunch with the spitball I said nothing more about it that day. The next I went out at recess, as was often my custom, to have a good time with the children. They were having a grand time coast ing. Henry did not see me immediate ly, but Edgar came to me and said, " Have a ride with me first. Miss Dollv." " i shall tie happy to, if you told me the truth yesterday," said I, watching him closely. His eyes quickly filled with tears as he answered honestly: "I did, every word. Please don't ask me any more ?" "No,*l prefer every one to speak for themselves. I will ride with you." Down we went at fine speed. When we reached the top of the hill Henry was waiting, as I had expected, his face all aglow. "My turn next!" cried he. "I've the best sled of the lot; beats 'em every time f" Looking at him, I said very quietly: " Harry, do you suppose I would like to ride with a boy who would tell me a lief" He dropped his head and turned very red in the face, then looked at me again as if determined to deny it ; but before he had a chance, I said : " Think before yon speak." He did think ; and, taking off his cap, said manfully : " Miss Heed, you looked the truth right out of me. I did throw the spit-hall at Bunch, aud then I said I didn't. I'm very sorry. Will you for give me ?" I oould not help throwing my arm nronnd him as I answered : "Certainly, Henry, I will forgive yon. You were very wrong to annoy Bunch, bnt that was nothing compared to telling an un truth. You been very brave now to own it before tlae whole school; and remember, hereafter, whatever yon do in mischief, never to try to conceal it by a lie. I jrill take one ride with yon, and another witty Edgar before I go in." As I left them I beard Henry say : " Don't she make a fellow feel mean, though?'"They whip you at the big school when yon cut up, and we see which will take it best without making up a facet "Bnt she, little Miss Dolly—" I did not hear any more ; but I think it was nothing unkind as we were firm friends ffom that day. The first paper mill in England waa built in 1586 by a German at Dartford, in Kent, iNovertheleaa, it was nearly a century and a half—namely, in 1713 before Thomas Watkins, a stationer, bronght paper-making to anything like perfection. The first approach to a pen was the styiiiß, a kind of iron bodkin ; bnt the lipmaus forbade its use on ac oonnt of its frequent aud even fatal use in quarrels* and then it was made of boue. Subsequently, reeds pointed and split, like pens of the present day, were used. _______ One good turn deserves another, but a shirt collar is only capable of two. Fashion Note*.

The new brocatelle damasse* of this season are changeable, and frequently sliow two or three different colors iu the effects prodneed iu the wtwviug. Kussian laces, which are lighter thai: Smyrna 'aces, are largely taking 'their place —particularly as a trimming for summer morning and washing dresses To use as little lace as lxwsible, yet make a pretty trimming, three or four knife-pleats are laid, then a plain space is left the width of the cluster of pleat*.

The hourette gauzes are very hand some, with bayadere stripes in ludia colors, separated by narrower stripes of thin silk, either pale or blue, cream, or greeu that is nearly black. Shot goods of mixed silk anil wool, speckled or dusted over, are used for combination dresses ; changeable blue and gold, or else beige and green, or blue aud olive, are very banilsome. White muslin drosses for afternoon wear are made with long Pruioea* polonaises, with embroideries down every seam, and trimmed with satiu isced moire ribbons in several tones of color. . The chip round hats have square brims in front, turned np close and high on the sides like English walking hats, while the back is without any brim, but is trimmed with loops or with a drooping breadth of gauze. The most popular wraps are of black India camel's hair, with long fleece, or of richly rep pod black silk, or else Sioiheuue, or better still, the new repped silk fabric called bangoline, which is entirely without dressing, yet soft and light. Bonnets fit the head pleasantly without being too large, the crowns are shaped to take in easily the puffs aud branis of hair that are now either ou the crown or jnst down the back of the head, allowing the wearer to have high coiffures on some day* aud low ones on others. By the use of a little bandoline yon can curve the short front hair on your forehead and the side of the face to form the fashionable waves, and thus cover up a high forehead. Loops of thickly braided iiair at the back aud finger puffs on top are ynost worn. The low fore head should have the hair simply parte and brushed away from the temples. Worth makes a half-long prineeeae polonaise with a kilt skirt for short suits. The skirt is not a genuine kilt, but is trimmed far abovethe edge of the polon aise with pleats broader than the Jtilt pleata used here, and each pleat is oms mented on the bottom with a band of bias silk about three inches deep and cat off slanting across the top. A True Shark Story. It may not be generally known that in that playful marine acrobat, the por poise, the shark possesses an implacable enemy that will permit no intrusion on its feeding grounds. The writer first learned this fact from two old and ex perienced fishermen when ont on a fish ing excursion, one lorely August day, off Bquan Beach, New Jersey. It came out in the course of a story, which is here given as it was told in the boat. The fishermen were serious and quiet men, watchful and ready; and I noticed that they not only used no profane ex pressions themselves, but appeared to be annoyed and distressed at the occa sional strong expletives that escaped me under the exasperating excitemeut of losing a tine fish from the hook after hauling it to the surface. Somewhat surprised at demeanor I had not been accustomed to in "toilers of the sea," I asked them at last if any thing was the matter. They replied, very respectful ly, that being religious men, thev felt pained by any thing approaching tLe sin of profanity, and that if I would listen they would tell me the story of their re markable deliverance from death, which resulted in their conversion. It was as follows: " Some ten years ago we were hard drinkers, swearers, wild surf-men, and fishermen. We never entered a church, and cared neither for God nor Satan. "On a fine Sunday morning in August, 1867, we started at daylight for this very reef of rocks. With plenty of bait, we looked for four or five hundred-weight of sea-bass, flounders and blackflsh. At first we palled them np as fast as onr lines touched bottom; then we had not a single bite. Surprised, we stood up and looked aronnd, preparatory to changing our ground. To our astouishmeut the water was alive with sharks. We com menced pulling np our anchor, when a savage fish rushed to the bow of the boat and bit the rope in two. Then we hoisted sail, but the moment we put the steering oar in the water several sharks began biting it in pieces. So we were compelled to take in sail, and drift We were in the midst of a school of sharks two miles long aud half a mile broad. They were of all sizes, from six feet long to twelve or fourteen. They swarmed aronnd our !>oat, and dashed it one-third full of water with their tails. We had to bail, one with his hat and the other with the bait pail. Every moment some big fellow would put his nose almost on our gunwale, while his yellow tiger eye glared ferociously at out pale faces. One shark dashed at yie lxat and seized one of the side planks, aud almost shook us ont of our seats. Fortunately his teeth broke off, and away he went with a bleed ing jaw. In a moment he was torn in pieoes and devoured. tho school turned toward us again. "We were in despair, and never ex pected to see shore. We could not sail, we conld nok row, an'd were drifting out to sea. Finally, Charley said: ' Bill, we are in an awful muss. Let ns see if God will help us.' We knelt down, and I prayed for help, confessed onr sins, and piomised amendment and repentance. We had hardly finished before we saw a | great school of porpoises. They hurled themselves ont of the water, jumping twenty feet at a bannd. Soon we were in 1 the midst of them. The sharks started out to sea, bnt the porpoises were too quick. They bit and tore the sharks fearfully. Sometimes three porpoises would have hold of one shark. Then they jumped out of the water and fell heavily on these tigers of the ocean. Thefightcontinued for miles, and we were saved. We row ed safely to shore, and became professors of religion; gave np drinking, swearing i and all vices. We have great respect for i porpoises, and belie-e that if they were , not so plentiful, New Jersey shore would cwarm with sharks, and then good-by to I fishing and bathing." fondant Inople'* tarled Population.

It is a changing mosaic of race* and religious that is eomjsieed ami scattered continually with a rapidity that the ere can MUCCIT follow. It is amusing t<> look only at the passing feet ami see all the foot-covering* tn the world go by, from that of Adam tip to the last fashion in Parisian Inxit*—yellow Turkish ba boochea, red Armenian, bine Om k and black Jewish shoes; sandals, great ixoits from Turkestan, Albanian gaiters, low cut slippers, leg-pieces of many colors, lie longing to horsemen from Asia Minor, gold embroidered shoes, Hpaniih at pur 'gatrn, shoes of satin, of twine, of rags, of wood, so many that while yon look at one you catch a glimpse of a hundred more. One mnst be on the alert not h> be jostled and overthrown at every step. Now it is a water-carrier with a colored jar upon his back; now a Russian lady on horseback; now a squad of imj>eria! soldiers in XOUSTC dress, and stepping as if to au assault; now a crew of Armen ian jwrtern, two and two, carrying on their shoulders immense bars, from which are suspended gnat bales of mer chandise; and now a throng of Turks who dart fn>m left to right of the bridge to embark in the steamers that lie there. Tbcre is a tread of many feet, a mur muring, a sound of voices, gutterul notes, aspirations, interjections], incom prehensible and strange, among which the few French or Italian words that reach the ear seem like luminous points upon a black darkness. The figures that most attract the eye in all this crowd, are the Circassians, who go in groups of three and five t>getber, with slow steps, big-bearded men of a terri ble countenance, wearing bearskin caps liae the old Napoleonic Guards, long black caftans, ilaggers at their girdles and silver cartridge-lanes on their breast*; real figures of banditti, who look as if they had come to Constantino ple to sell a daughter or a sister—with their hands imbued with Russian blood. Then the Syrians, with roliea 111 the form of Byzantine dalmatie, and their heads enveloped in gold-strijied handkerchiefs; Bulgarians, dressed in coarse serge, and caps encircled with fur; Georgians in liats of varnished leather, their tunics bound roun 1 the waist with metal gir dles; Greeks from the Archipelago, cov ered from head to foot with embroidery, tassels and shining buttons. From time to time the crowd slackens a little; hut instantly other groups ad vance, waving with red caps and white turbans, amid which the cylindrical hats, umbrellas ami pyramidal head dresses of Europeans, male and female, seem to float borne onward by that Mus sulman torrent. It is amazing even to note the number of religions. Words of Wisdom. Belf-denial is a grand virtue Every high aim lifts you above your self. Belflslmess has a variety of disguises, hut under the velvet yon can always find the claw. If it be imjvortant to know whether a man will cheat yon if he can, sound him as to his willingness to help you cheat somebody else. With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes satin. What difficulty is there at which a mau should quail, when a worm can accomplish so much from a leaf. A mau who covers himself witli costly apparel and neglects his miml, is like one who illuminates the outside of his house and sits within in the dark. Ignorance and deceit are two of the worst qualities to combat. It is vastly easier to dispute with a statesman thnn a blockhead. If we would have powerful minds, we must think; if we would have faithful hearts, we mnst love; if we would have strong muscle, we must labor. These include all that is valuable in life. Karri n ir*. The Roman ladies of olden times naed earrings of pearls and precious atones, and not unfreqnently, like some of the North American Indiana, they had three or fonr of these ornaments pendant to each ear, which, unlike the Indian trin kets of the present day nt least, were of immense valne. The Moors of Africa were also noted for the use of the same ornaments. Many of the husts of the heathen gods have been found to have earrings, or holes pierced in the ears for that purpose. Home in vestigators of antiquity have considered this to lie characteristic of the busts of divinities, but this opinion does not ap pear to be well founded, as there are many well known statues of mortals which have the ears pierced. The fine bust of Caracalla, in the Villa Borghese, which is affixed to a statue of Hercules, has only the right ear pierced. Manner* and Mural* of the Kloux.

I tried to fiud out what he had done, but comd not, as there are several ways to reduce an Indian to that position, au>l no amount of inquiry will make them disclose the fact to outside parties; and as the last Indian I asked said, " Heap talk too much," I geutlv took the hint.

Should two Indians commence to fight aud another Indian step IH*- tween them, or ptit a stick or pipe lw tweeu them, they would have to desist, or run the chance of tieiug killed, as they certain! v would Is* did they not de~ aist when called on.

My grandfather had a fine flock of sheep, which were c&refnily tender! during the war of those time*. I was the shepherd boy, ami ray bnaineaa was to watch the sheep ill the fields. A boy who was more fond of his Imok than the sheep, was sent with rae, but left the work to me, while he lay under the trees and read. I did not like that, aud finally went to ray grandfather and com plained of it. 1 shall never forget the smile of the old gentleman as he said: •"Nevermind, Jonathan, mv boy; if yon watch the sheep; you will have the sheep." ' " 'What does grandfather mean by that ?' I siiul to mvself. ' I don't expect to have aheep.' Sly desires were mod erate—a fine buck worth a hundred dol lar*. I could not exactly make ont in my mind what it was, bat I had great ooufldeuee in him, for he was a judge, and had been in Con grew in Washing ton's time; so I concluded it wan all right, and went back contentedly to tin sheep. After I got into the field I could not Keep his words out of my head. Then I thought of Sunday's' lesson: ' Thou hast lawn faithful over a few things, I will make thee rnler over many things.' I liegnn to see through it. Nover yon mind who neglects his duty; bo yon faithful, and yon will have your reward. " I received a second lesson soou after I came to Now York as a clerk to the late Lyman Reed. A merchant from Ohio, who knew me, came to buy gBsls, ard said, ' Make yourself so useful that they cannot do without yon.' I took his meaning quicker than that of my grandfather's. "Well, I worked upon these two ideas nntil Mr. Reed offered mo a partnership in the business. The first morning after the partnership was made known, Mr. James Gerry, the old tea merchant, called in to congratulate me, and he said: • You are right now. I have one word of advice to give you; 1-e careful whom yon walk the street* with.' That was lesson number three. " And what lessons thev are ! " Fidelity in all things; do yonr best to your employers; carefulness alxnit yonr associates." Let everybody take "these lessons home and study them. They are the foundation atones of char acter nnd honorable sticci-ss. The ttex.

The place ne lected for the litierstlou of the coyote wo* a sort of alkali flat about sit or seven inilea wide The coyote, eagtxl in a close box, had been liroilght b> the place 111 a wagon, aud Was liberated a!a*llt half past twelve in the center of the fiat. It was Ugieed to allow llilll to reach the edge of the sagebrush, noiue three Uiilea distant, la-fore llie hounds were slipped. When let out of hla box the coyote trotte-l off leisurely, leaving to-hilid eighteen or twenty hounds struggling frantically in the leash and clauu>nug for Uu< run. It Us>k tin* coyote nlxiiil llfUo-ii uiiiiutcsln r<*ach the edge of the fiat, and Jllst as he melted luto the sagebrush the pack were turu t-d li.aic upon the desert and took the trail 111 full cry, follow<*d by a well mounted field. The sagebrush waa oouu rr*achi*l, ami then the chneo In-goli 111 eartn-el, John 8. Katieeu.w ho was ejileutlnlly luount**t, took the lead, with JtU-k Mage.- eh we at his heels ami Die rest of the field trail ing bohluil The sagebrush ami tmuld im were lint Die eaali-et things IU the worlil to ruu in, but Die horaea, which hod got wurmtsl up to the work, made light of the rough coudtliou of the truok a* they went craolnug through Die brush or took tlyiug leajta over the Iwulden* The houud* were alMtut half a mile ahemt in Die nagehrush, their i-ourse marked by a tviutiuuous yeljnng aud a trail of dust. After a ruu of about twenty minute*, the coyote turned UJNUI the trail aiul took a course lending hack to the tint. Iveacluug the limit of Die nntfebrush, it nhot luto the clear fiat again, aud made a !ee line for theKn froui which it was litw-rated. The hound* cleared the brush but a few minute* behind, with Die field not twenty yards in the rear, and at tine point tlie chaae Ix-caine very exciting. The fiat waa OH level a* a floor, and when the field Htraggled out of the brush the coyote was atiout half a mile aheml, and had three mile* to run before reaching tiie Ixix a point for which it w* evi dently uiakmg. Hornet*, hound* and coyote wrre now all, for the find time, in Might of each other. About iialf a dozen horsemen led the field. AM thev ueared the IMII the coyote war pretty cloacly pressed by the hounds, but made a spurt aud slid into hia old retreat like a flash of lightning. The driver of the team who had brought him out jum|H-d down ami closed the door, and ill a minute a pack of di*appoiut<-d dog* were yelping all around it. The rider* came 1111 immediately afterward, and a hearty cheer went up in honor of the sagacious coyote, followed by a general laugh when the utter ridiculoua- Utww* of the situation Ireoame apparrnt. Aft-r the coyote had taken utH>ut h-xlf an hour's rest it waa decided to give tin hound* a second ruu, and the snarling co vote was again turne*! out UtMin the cold ch*nti- of the sagebrush. He made off this time at a pace which dis counted hi* first effort. It did not take over live minutes for him to reach the sagebrush, and the instant he duiaiqH-ar **d the field t>ok the trail. He covered about the same ground as In-fore, but doubled more fre jtieutly and ran a good deal faster, lu about twenty minute* he again turned into the flat, and " Lit- De Martin," the driver, who was uear the box with his team, concluded to go out to meet htm. The coyote was doub ling 111 flue style on the hounds, but when Martin had traveled a!oiit a mile from Die box the animal turned and made for the wagon. The dogs overtook him when he was yet about flity yards fr -m the wagon, and the leailer sprtuging for ward fastened his teeth in hi* shoulder. The coyote turned nimbly, and appro priating a portion of tile dog'* ear, traveled on, and gaining Die wagon, * topped directly nndrr it, trotting along like a coach dog, Iwnealh the fore axle. The hound* surromided the wagon yelping savagely, and one would oocaatuual'r shoot between the wheel* to trv conclnsion* with the coyote, who would generally send him howling lack with the blood streaming from hi* hide. The coyote Anally In-came emlsiljened with it* succeas, and gliding from be twiwn the wheel*, sprang into the center of the pink, and, for a few seconda, fought savagely, sliding oack to its van tage ground again when nund-cr* threat eusl to overpower htm. Little Martin, the sell constituted guarvhau of the coyote, enjoyed the fun immensely, and drove the wagon *tnught up to Die box. The bounds, which *eemeJ to anticipate a repetition of the first strategic move ment, made a rusil to cut off the retreat, but Die hunted animal fought his way through, and ch-anng tlie ba- V of tin last one in hi* way by leap that nm*t have measured five times In* length, he gaine.l the disir of the box, and wa* in aide again in a second. Tlie fleld now came up and scut nj> another round of hearty cheers for the coyote. The I e*of the Phonograph. It would lie indeed difficult to set a limit to the uses to which this wonderful instrument can lie put. The discovery of electricity gsve the world first a curi osity, then a subject fur careful scientific investigation, an.l finally an agent that must le regarded as one of the moat powerful at the disjo*al of uiaii. Who can say to what the phonograph and like inventions mav bring us? Investigations f the effect of the electric current on metals led to the discovery of the mag netic coil and of the-telephone. The lat ter most certainly led to the phonograph, and now the inventor of the phonograph has j-orfected the telephone so that au utterance scarcely louder than a whisper oan tie heard through one thousand miles of wire. More curious still is this combination. The writer has heard the phonograph speak through the telephone over hundreds of miles of wirat was discovered at-out three miles ofT shore, iu distress, by Miss Edith. Quickly giving the alarm to her father ami two brothers, she urged them to go, volunteering to take an oar herself to aasjst the erew. It seemed as though a isiat could not possibly live in the mightv waves, but one was launched, and after n pall of two hours, with seas breaking over the small boat and threat ening its destruction and the loss of those OU 1-oanl, they succeeded in reach ing the wreck, to find that one of the crew who had been cliuging to the side of the vwsel had become exhausted, and letting go his hold had been drowned. Another sailor, however, was rescued as he was about to give ur>, and was taken ashore. Nor was this the first time that the brave youug girl hail ventured out on an errand to save.

Rut such marriages as mine are not to be expected or even hoe --d for. It must be exceedingly rare for . woman of forty years old to' meet a man whose age, taste, habits and position make their marriage a promise of happiness to both. Such a marriage is to 1> gratefully re joiced over if it comes, but it i* jvosaible to be happy and useful without it. What I mean to impress on the girla, when I write to them, is that they should make themselves able to stand alone. I*ll quote Margaret Fuller's words on tha subject to them. With self-snnport possible, unhappy marriages will be prevented, a happy single life will be made possible, and a happy marriage will be more probable. Concise direc tions ? If I gave any they would be like this: 1. Don't waste any time waiting for •' him." •L Don't spend qnite as much as yon earn. 3. To prevent narrowness, master some branch of knowledge not oonnected with Tour occupation. 4. 'To keep your heart warm, love somebody's children. If possible con nect yourself with their care or educa tion. 5. When married women confide their troubles to yon—and strange to say they will do it ranch oftener than they confide them to each other—don't let it give yon a dark view of married life or of masculine human nature. The Great Eastern. The leviathan of ships, the Great Eastern, ia one of the wonders of our progressive age, and a mightv proof of the energy, perseverance ana skill of man. No other ship is worthy to be mentioned with her. She stands alone, a proud monument to her designers and builders. Bhc was built at London about twenty years ago, aud cost a fabulous sum of money. She is nearly 700 feet long, 83 feet wide, and can carry 20,000 tons of freignt. The next largest Teasel's ca pacity is not over 6,000 toes. Although of inch immense sixe her lines are lieantiful, and she sits upon the water as gracefully as s yacht She has seven masts. Her engines, of the com bined power of 10,000 horses, are a wonder to contemplate. Involuntarily the beholder exclaims, as he gases upon the moving mass, "Kpw could man ever fabricate them?" Although built for a passenger and freight steamer, and intended for the Australian trade, she has been used al most altogether in laying submarine telegraphs, proving altogether too large for profitable use as s merchaut steamer. There is no donbt, in the event of Great Britain's goiug to war.Jshe wonld be used as a transport steamer, being able to aoootninodate 10,000 soldiers with their baggage. It is enrious that money should be called by so many different names. Some describe it as " spondulix," some as "the stuff," some as "the sugar," some as "rlnno," some aa "apoous," some as " the ready," others ns" brads." The French call it " I'argent," the Eng lish "the needful," in Mexico "cust mg," iu the South " rooks," in the East "tin," in the West " rags," in Canada it goes by the name of " spelter, "diere about* it is "ahort."
