BIOIITY-8CVKN INDIOTMKSTII.
Tlio Now York World gives (lie following-account
of CharlcH T. William
son, alias Porrin, alias Farmer, the
notorious bond forger arratod on Sat
urday, Fob. 191b, and arraigned at tbc
court ol general sessions bcloro Kororu
or ilackutt. Jle ilcaled not guilty to
sixty-Bix iiiuictments lor lorgerv and
was then token to tbo court of oyer
and terminer, where ho pleaded not
guilty to soventoon similar ludictmonts,
eighty-seven in all. The minimum!
penalty on conviction is tivo years on
each indictment, 435 years in all. Jle
was Indicted on tho lliih ot .September,
1873, with Leonard Hrown, a notorious
bond forger connected with tbc Koborts
and (ilcason forgeries. Williamson
was then charged with offering thirty
forged 11,000 of tho Now York Central
Hailroad to Francis W. Holbrook.
Brown had tried to negotiate 30 000 of
Uu Halo, Mow lork It J'.no It. Ji. bonds.
Williamson also stands indicted for at
tempting to defraud tho Now York
Loan and Industrial Company of twen
ty 11,000 first mortgage bonds of dif
ferent scries. To theso indictments
until yesterday he had never pleaded,
although true bills wero found against
him in September, 1873.
Ilis arrest is believed to bo very un
welcome to somo of tbo police detectives.

an old hand and undisguised, bos come
and gone at his will for months with
out annoyance.
It was during tho summer of 1873
that tho great bond forgery schemo
was first discovered and tho none ol
arrests began. Tho detective detailed
for Wall street work had noticod for
some time thai known counterfeiters
and go-betweens wero in very friendly
relations with Wall bTreet frequonttirB
of doubtful reputation. It had been
intended by the combination to put at
least 0.1,000,000 in torged railroad bonds
on tho street, but almost at the start
tho anair was discovered. Towards
tho ond of August Detectivo Sampson
was informed that somothing was
wrong with some Now York Central
Railroad bonds, consolidated issue, held
by Alcott k Co., 40 Jlrad stroet, A
tew days before, a man giving his
nam as Leonard W. lirown, of 113
Broadway, had sold a genuine Central
Pocilic Railroad bond to Worster Sher
man, of No. 9 Nassau street. On Au
gust 30 he asked a loan of 125,000 on
a collatenl of thirty bonds, one of them
bearing the same number as the one
sold the day previous. Tho suspicions
of Messrs. Alcott 4 Co. wero aroused
and tho forgory watt detected. Samp
son was sent for, and Brown wus ar
rested on leaving tho ollice. Ho had
on his porson twenty-eight bonds. Jle
at onco declared that hj was acting a
agent for V. . Williamson, of 113
Broadway. Williamson was known
undor an alias as 11. 11. Willinms, had
once been discharged from a position
as book-keeper to Brooks Brothers, and
had generally a tainted -reputation.
The otllcers pushed their inquiries, and
fonnd sucty-two forged bonds like those
already scir.ed, and discovered that
about 8250,000 worth had been nego
tiated. A circular was issued warning
brokers against New York Central
sixes, 1R83 and l87,nnd llutTnlo, Now
York k Brio rtvens. TIicho latter
wero most excellunlly engraved. Soon
after, James W. Johnston, a Inwyer ol
Williamsburg, was arrested with some
of the forged bonds on hia person,
lirown at tho police court pleaded not
guilty and testified to receiving the
bonds from Williamson. 4Io was will
ing to tell all he know, but the police
soon dropped him as knowing very
little of the principals in the affair. The
arrest of Gttason and of. I'ettus out of
the State, and Robertson Sluten Island,
with several minor captures, was aup
)scd to have pretty cllecluully broken
up tho confederation of counterfeiters;
but to this day tbo true story of tho
whole company who wero in il as prin
cipals, and how far, if at all, the police
ucicciivi-s weremiinpiicatea, Una not
been told. Implied condemnation of
the thief-takers and indeflnito hints of
other operations of (lis gang havo been
dropped from time to timo by those
already in custody, and Williamson has
the reputation ol being weak kneed
nnd likely to "squeal," although to this
somo dissent, among them lietectivo
Sampson, who says tho man knows too
much to tell it.
Williamson's history is a remarkable
one. Ho has bad many hair breadth
escapes from heavy punishment and
many semonces tor small onensos com
mitted in this city alone. His boldness
was peculiar. In his latest exploit ho
visited tho office of Messrs. Rollins,
bankers and brokers, at tho corner of
Broad and Wall streets, in open day
light, w her. the Central ollice detectives
aro constantly found during tha day.
Mr. Rollins, tho junior partner, gvo
the following account of the attempt at
defrauding that firm : At tha end of
tho year one of tho firm dissolved parP
nsrship and we thought that we would
take in another partner who had somo
capital to fhveat in our business. Wo
advertised tor such a partner and statod
that capital would Lo required before
an agreement for partnership could bo
entered into. About tha IMlh or 10th
of last January a ncatlv dressed man
of voryqniot appearance entered our
office and had an Interview with my
brother, who is now In Europo, In ref
erence to the advertisement A long
and agreeable conversation waa bad
with the gentleman, who gave bis name
ssL harks farnham. lie said his fami
ly was woll acquainted, and that be
himself was in a good financial position.
llo said ho was anxious to get into tbe
brokerage business, as . he was very
fond of it excitement. Our former
partner was Charles B. Tease, formerly
of tbe United States Life insurance
Company. The next day Fambam
CLEARFIELD,
called again, but as my brother was
getting ready to start for Eurcapo on
important business, my brolhorsald bo
thought tbe matter would have to ro
main over. Wo hud a long conversa
tion as to business matters and tho
amount of capital required to bo put
up, and finally it was agreed that ho
should bo allowed to visit tho ofllco
and engage in any business ho wished
to until the return of Mr. Rollins from
Kuropo. On that sumo day Mr. Farn
ham said bo wanted to raise somo
money on bis own account and asked
me to soil some Wostorn Union bonds
for him. This wo did, selling them
outright, taking our commission in the-
ordmary way and gavo rarnhamonr
check. Our business principally is to
sell and deal in Stalo and city securities.
Whon my brother informed Farn-
naan tha rwa was eroemr to Jtaixmeon
business, r aniliam said that bo should
ba always ready to make any advances
of money on account of the fiim when
called upon. He then said : "lly-tho-
by, as you aro going to idiropo you
may bo able to got s loan for mo on
certain stocks I bold, aa I shall havo
great nned of money Boon, and you eun
get an advanco at a much lower rate
of interest there for me, and 1 shall be a
gainer of interest on this side." Unas
certained that his Block was of tho New
York Central and a little of the Buffalo
k Erie. Aa my brother was about to
sail the next day it was arranged that
Farnbam should meet him at the
steamer tho next morning and deliver
over the stock. J ho next morning my
brother was mot by a man who had
the bonds with him, and who said bo
camo from Mr. Farnham. Wbilo on
his passago to Liverpool bo was to
make a list of tbo bonds and tuko the
numbers of them, as Farnham bad not
had time to make- a complete list. It
waB understood that my brother took
out $100,000 worth of those bonds. It
was arranged that my brother was to
cablo over horo some 110,000 or ?H.
000 on account of tho advances mado
on a portion of tho bonds shortly after
his arrival, which was to go to Ftirn
bam's credit. 1 saw Farnham Satur
day after my brother loft, and ho said
he should bo down at the onlce on
Monday. On Monday morning he sent
inossugo to mo saying that bo should
not be down, as ho wished to leave
town to doss up certain business agen
cies in different States. About twelve
days aftowards bo camo again to tho
oftlro, and appeared as quiet as over.
He brought us this time some New
York Central bonds, and asked us to
make an advance upon thom. He do-
posited Boventoen (1,000 bonds and re
ceived our chock for $0,000 or (7,000.
Iteforo leaving ho said that as bis pres
ence was not required for any business
purpose then, ho should remain away
a few days. Wednesday last ho camo
again with his carriago and pair and
liveried coachman, as usual. Our cash
ier told him while I was present that
wo wanted somo (15,000, it being un
derstood wo were to draw tion him.
Fnmbam said, " Very well. Rut I can
not got it to-day. I have some $25,000
130,000 of Central 1'acitio Railway
bonds in Philadelphia deposited for a
small sum $.,0110 or $7,000 and if 1
bad tbia amount I could get them out
to-morrow."
Ho was to go to Philadelphia, and it
ho could get thom I was to bo tele
graphed for and go myself with tho
money. Ho did not telegraph, but
came back the next day, and said thffl
his friend wbo had the stock was out
at Pittsburgh, and therefore he could
not get it for a few days. Our Mr.
Burke then wanted to know what was
to bo done, as money was wanted.
Farnham took out his memorandum
book and said that he had some Cali
fornia and Oregon bonds which, wero
guaranteed, and that theso could bo
Bold. He auid ho could seud them
down by bis coachman. Wo wore to
get an advanco of $10,000, on thom and
pay bim $0,000. On tho same day the
coachman returned, abont 2 o'clock In
the afternoon, with the bonds. They
wore examined by Mr. Rnrke in the
regular way. As soon fts they wero
disposed of, Mr. Durke was to get into
Farnham'a carriago and meet bim at
ono of throe placos known to tho coach
man. , I ban occasion to send liurks
away to Philadelphia on important
business, and decided to koep llurko's
appointment with Farnbam. Accord
ingly, I jumped into tho carriage, hav
ing wih mo tho (6,000 in my pocket
to bund over to bim. I was driven
along Nassau street and into 1) road
way, and then into Amity street. I
supposed I was going to the Firth Ave
nue Hotel, but in the place of that was
driven to the Amity House, corner of
Amity and West-Third Btroot. When
I was told that Mr. Farnham was in
side this house I could not believe It.
I expected to meet a gentleman. I
told the coachman to go in and boo
whether Farnham was insido. Ho did
and said he was. 1 went into tho bar
and found somo. ugly looking fellows
there. Tbe bar-keeper did not know
Farnham and Farnham was not to be
seen. Tbe proprietor was called up
from an oyster' saloon, and he did not
know sncb a man. With this 1 took
tho hint and went out of the bouse. 1
then found tho coachman had driven!
off and I jumped into tho Sixth avenue
car and returned to tbo office. The
stock was placed ia tbe stock exchange
vault by my instructions, to await the
results of further investigation. At
tached to these bonds was only ono
coupon ; this Fisk k Hatch pronounced
to be a forgory, and then I had good
reason to behove my brother and i bad
been duped by Farnham. A plan was
arranged to get Farnham down to the
ofllco on Friday, but be said bo could
not leave tho Irving llouso, where
ho was staying, and roqneatod Mr.
Ilurko to go to bim with tho (6,000.
Friday evening an appointment was
kept at the Irving house, where he was
staying, between Ilurko and myself and
Farnbam, and we told him why we
did not givo him tbo (0.000 wo could
not raise tho money. Wo wero, how
ever, ready to handjhim our check or
money for (4,500 the next day, and he
was to come to our office the next
morning. We had two officer belong
ing to the American District Telegraph
Company in plain clothes stationed at
tho door, ami thoy wero to hold him at
a given signal until a regular officer
could bo procured to make the arrest.
Ten, 1 1, 12 and 1 o'clock came, but no
Farnbam. It was then docided that
Ilurko, in whom tie scorned to havo
great confidence, should visit tie man
at the Irving House with the cheek
agreed upon, the threo officers fallow
ing bim close behind.
Farnham, however, did not show,
and after waiting for somo time, I and
tho officers led, telling Ilurko to leave
a note for Farnham Baying that be bad
waited for him several hours and had
to return to tbe office. An apHiliit
ment was also made by Rurke to meet
Farnham at tbe down-town office, and
be was told that I had been compelled
to leave town at i that afternoon. Tbe
bait took well, for shortly after 4
PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1876.
o'clock Farnham puUuan appearance,
this timo without bis carriugo. I and
tbo officers wore aworotod in dillerunt
parts of the odle, and as Faj'iihain
entered no one could be seon but Ilurko,
our cashier. At signal we all left our
hiding places, and Farnham then found
be hud tlvo men lodeul with. When
ho saw that he wits ennght bo did not
appear to bo in lh(r slightest degree
moved. I told hint vbal tho New i oik
Central and 'Califthnila and Oregon
bonds were I'orgcriM and wanted to
know what bo intended to do. Ho
said he could do nothing in the matter,
and then Immediately said that ho had
not given us any bonds nor did ho
want any money from us. .As bo )o-,
fused to do anything' towards making
a proper explanation of bis conduct an
oflloor of tbo- first preuinct was called
in MediKarnbMa ww.' taken to.tboiYtiw,
street station. Helot going, however,
in his customary cool niuinior, be called
for a glass of water and a cigar, which
wero given him. I never taw so much
coolness displayed by any one before,
and suspected a mistake until ho began
to curse on going to New strict. On
his porson wero found (1 in money.
some few papers, a nambor of addresses
of different banks and bankors,a list
of tho stolen securities taken from the
Northampton bank robbery and atele-
gruin from a supposed accomplice in
Bomeothorcaso. My brother has bien
warned to negotiate nono of tho bonis
abroad. t
At tbo closo of tho abdVe statement
tho writer asked :
"How often did Williamson or Farii.
ham, as ho was known to you, visit
your ofllco r .
Mr. Kollius He came altogether six
or seven times, always in tho open day
and always without any disguise,
consider that the detectives were great
ly to blamo in not rocogniiing him, as
be has been several times under arrest,
and is, or should be, wU known tojbo
polico. I bad toeomplain ot tbcir loit
ering about my oflico-window on tho
raised grating a our customers suffer-
ed much from their continual loud
talking.
All tho evidence against Williamson
at tluJ time of bis arrest was the ono
coupon. Monday tho bonds were re
covered and pronounced forgone. Wil
liamson bolongs to a lugbly respecta
ble family residing in this city. He
appears to be about thirty-two years
ot ago. During the war ho enlisted
and saw somo service. : He is said to
havo been a man of good character tin-
vil then, but while a-soldiering to have
alien into bad bauds, llo ib reported
as having bee in the habit of stealing
barrels ot beans, pork, Hour, ftc, lrom
tbe Bottlers' department.' H is bod pro
pensities are represented as having thus
broken out first. bon ho came back
here from tho war bo associated with
disreputable persons, llo was impli
cated in a robbery porjictrated in a
panel bouso up town, tried and con
victed and sentenced to a turm fn tho
State prison. Re served a second term
therein for burglary. Captain Petty
has found a nephew of the prisoner
who identities tho latter as tdharlcs
Per rim The Captain took the prison
er in tbe court-room with a dor.en ol
others, and the nephew at onco singled
him out under that name. Yesterday
morning Mr. Kosaitor, clerk of tho New
York Indemnity Company, weft to tho
district attorney's ollice, and in a crowd
of twenty-five persons identified the
prisonoras Williamson. When begot
out the last time he joined in, accord
ing to the general belief, with tilcason,
Koborts and their notorious gang, and
thoy put bim forward as tho man to
pass tho bonds. All the .members ol
tho gang are now in prison, undergo
ing punishmont lor one offense or an
other, and Wall street brokers rejoice
at the result.. Some time ago they
subscribed to the' extent ol $20,000,
firincipally to effect tbo capture of Wil
iamson. An escapade of a different
complexion by Williamson deserves to
be recorded. It may bo remembered that
a notorious haunt at the corner of Ca
nal and Washington streets was broken
up by tho police some timo ago, and
Dan Kelly, Patrick Conroy, and others
of the masked burglars were captured.
This place was kept by G. A. Millard,
into the good graces of whose wile
Williamson insinuated himself and in
duced bor to olopo with bim. When
Captain Petty attempted to converse,
with Williamson while tho latter was
in custody at tbe elation bouso, he shut
up tho Captain very promptly by say
ing, " Captain, I know you. You can't
get any tiling out of mo, so you needn't
try."
WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
DEFICIKNCr OP WINTIU ESCORTS THE
.kimd or rr.asoNS AccispTrn.
The flutter of tho navy, say tho gos
sips, is making sad havoc in Washing
ton society. No less than fifty officers
in Washington havo received orders to
hold themselves in readiness for imme
diate sea duty. Think of il! Haifa
bundrud eligible ncuux disponed ot. at
ono fell swoop. Tho girls have been
bewailing all tho curly portion ot the
year tho dctich'iicy of w inter escorts.
t but will they Uo 11 the nil)' Minded
to disappear lrom tha social horaon 1
Washington is no market for iiiurriiige-
ablu girls under the most prosperous
circumstances. The men met there in
society aro no, desirable mutches for
the aversgo accomplished society gill.
The distinguished mon find society a
snnro ami delusion ; the ambitious
young men havo no timo to waste on
such unsatisfactory vanity, and so the
men who can ilunco well and talk small
gossip and tho latest social cVcnts, are
admitted into circles where bruins are
not demanded as an "open sesame."
It is astonishing, say tho gossips,
what specimens of the genus homo are
oncoiirsged and smiled upon by superior
women. last winter there were mora
small tnen in society than ever before.
Ibero was one officer, a tnflo tnller
tbun Tom Thumb, perhaps, who was
tbe recipient of all sorts of adulation
and attentions. Ho nevor sat quiet
five minutes ul a time during a German,
and bo had more invitations ovory day
to dine here, sup there and dance at
another place, than his small hands
could htild, or his pitiful bead dispose
of. " Dear mo !" said an elderly lady,
who had been an atlcnllvo observer ol
all that passed, " if tho girls muko such
a fuss over that small piece of humani
ty, what would they do if a rent man
should make his appearance!"
Washington society, moreover, is
fearfully fluctuating. So many of our
beaux are either in tho army or navy
that they aro expected to merely "fold
their tents like Arabs and silently steal
away," when so ordered by auorior
powers. Then tbc off vial life Is almost
equally transitory, and so this kalcido
scopo of living faces is ever changing,
ever shifting, yet always attractive, al
though never really satisfactory to
tboi) who like to koep the friends they
make, and who are not always anxious
for excitement and whirl and change.
HELWS OF WATERLOO.
The writer finds the story lotted
down in bis notebook as it was told to
him by a grandson of tho chief notor.
Victor Troyon Twned a small hnuso
near to tho ovontful field on which
wont down tho star of Napoleon, anil
since the buttlo ho bad made arrange
ments for uccnmpiodating, in fin hum
ble way, such visitors as clioso to call
upon him. In short, ho opened a largo
tavern. Tho fevor for relics was at its
height. Kverybody wbo visited the
historic spot wantod to carry off somo
suitublo souvenir. M. Troyon was
beset by his visitors for relics of tho
battle, but bo honestly answer edthaU
uo nad nothing or tho kind, llo was
very poor, and be worked bard to koep
his little tavern going. One dny bo
was complaining to a neighbor ol his
poverty, ana tiibo t the annoyance
continually put upon him by relic hun
ters.
"Woll, why don't you mnko tho
source of your annoyance relievo your
poverty I suggested tho fnond. "How
can 1 do that V" "If you have no relics,
muko some. At Brussels they make
any quantity ot thom. r or instance,
the next man who asks yon lor a relic,
tell him that Napoleon or Wellington
entered your bouso during the battle,
andsat in that chair. Or, tell him
Hint on that table. Napoleon wroto his
orders to tho different division com
manders."
Not lonif after tbis. an Knirlisb tour
ist stopped at tho tavern ana asked for
a relic ol tho great battle, llo heard
tho chair story, and bought the
simple pioce ol turnituro at an im-
menso price and clad to got it at that.
The tnulo on which Napoleon bad writ
ten at least a dozen orders to his mar
shals was sold to a tourist from tbo
south of Franco for 2,000 francs (80)
lly-and-by, M. Troyon called to mind
tbut ho still preserved tho glass from
which Wellington drank.; and tbo
"Wellington Glass" is still shown to
admiring visitors, at a substantial Eng
lish residence, by the son of tho man
who gavo filly pounds for it. Even
tho nail on which NaiKileon hung his
military clonk wus pulled out lrom the
wait to satisfy a craving relic-banter.
In short, M. Troyon kept on until,
pioce by pioeo, bo bad sold the very
roof from over bis head ; and it Ib said
that more than ono enthusiastic wor
shipper at tho throno of Waterloo,
when there was nothing else to be
gninod for a sonvonir, took away a
pnekugo of the dirt on which bad stood
tho liouso in which both iNapoloon and
Wellington bad rested!
Ol course, M. Victor Troyon did not
come out very poor from tho shatter
ing and tbo scattering ol bia old borne.
PI AX TO CAPTURE AftXOLD.
It was at No. 1 Broadway. Now
lork, that Clinton and Andre hatched
tbo plot which resulted in Arnold's
treason and the ignominious death of
the Adjutant-General ot the flntisb
army. Subsequently Arnold made bis
headquarters at tbe bouso adjoining,
and it bocatno the seat of ono of the
most during and boroio acts of tho
war. After tbo traitor bad fled to
Now York, tbo patriot officers laid a
plan to kidnap him and carrry him off
uoouy to luuu caiuii. xuu uxecuuou
of the- plot was intrusted to John
Cbampo ot Virginia, sergeant-major of
lolonoi itenry l.coa cavalry legion.
Cbampo deserted to tho Rrilisb, and
was at once sent, as he bad hoped, to
assist Arnold in recruiting a corps of
royausiB auu ueaoriors. u atoning ine
habits of tbe traitor, tbo Continental
soldier soon luid bis plan and communi
cated it to Lee. I n tbo rear of Arnold's
quarters an ainplo garden stretched
out to tho rivor and as far op aa No.
9 Broadway, whon it communicated
with a dark alley leading to tbo wa
ter's edge. Ibis garden was abaded
by huge trees, several of which were a
hundred feot in height, and ono, a ma
deira nut, which long survived, bad
luloral branches nearly as many feet
in length. I'nder the shade ot theeo
trees it was Arnold's habit to walk late
every night thinking bittorly, po
doubt, of tbo dear price at which ho
bad won a lintinu commission and a
hireling's gold. Cbampo, with two
accomplices, hod arranged to scire tbo
traitor on a certain night, gag and bind
him, and carry him in a boat, ready at
band, to tbo American camp. It is
saiil that tho devil always helps bis
own. Whether Arnold received aid
from this quarter or not, it ia certain
that on tho day tlxod lor tho consum
mation of the plot, be changed bis
quarlors, nnd tho labor of the patriots
was lost. Champo subsequently mado
his escape and died peacefully at home,
long alter tho independence of the
struggling colonies was secured. How
Benedict Arnold sunk into oblivion,

II E V. .PECK OSTEMPEHA CE.
Bishop Peek recently" "preached a
sermon on-intemperance, at tho Red
ford Street M. E. Church, before tho
New York Conference Tempcrunec
Society. Tho reverend Bishop took
his text from Hi. Luke: "And Jesus
suithnilo thom, have fuith in God.'1
He said that intemperance, was ground
ed In tho human appetites, which sus
tain a vesy peculiar relation to reason.
Tho appetites are imperious, while
reason required that every object
reached by it should bo deliberate and
subservient to rightly constituted au
thority. Il was seen ut a glance, there
fore, that tho vice concealed its origin,
jaikI had its powoi j hidden below the
rcacu oi unman reason, aii. vieinn
ofthavicodid not consult his reason,
otherwise he would pause in his down
ward steps. Ho makes himself deaf to
reason because appetite is clamorous,
imperious and disobedient to law. Ani
mal appetites become nforbld and aro
thus further removed from the reach
of reason. Ho therefore was forced to
believe that it wus impossible to arrest
tho progress of the vice, or tu control
it by tbo application of the reasoning
powers. It was not in the power of
philanthropists to, nor had they any
affinity that could enable them to grap.
plo with tho vico. Rut to master all
its public abuses and private wrongs
and save its victims were achievements
too difficult for man, and required the
exercise of powers too feeble, or rather
loo mighty for human agents. He
knew that those who had woiked hard
to destroy tho vico had a fooling of In
adequacy and despair nt the result of
their lalmr. He argued that tha appeal
to the infinite ono was a reasonable re
source. He felt that the men who
cherished and protected the human or
gans and the soul lrom becoming de
based and degraded, and would appeal
to (Ifxf against tho oppressors of tbe
raeu, would have divine co-operation,
when they asked God to dostroy the
vico of iiitemporance.

NEW
: mm l ,11 AD CAPITAL." ,
Wo do not know tho author of the
following, but he preaches ono of the
best practical business sermons to
young men that wo have read this
many a day : , ' '
"1 wish I had capital." ' Mo wo heard
a great strapping yonng man exclaim
tho other day In our office. Wo did
wnnt to fell him a piece of our mind so
bad, nnd will just wnto to linn, lou
want capital, do you? And suposo
you bud what yon call capital, whnt
would yon do with it ? llavn'tyou got
hands and foot and muscle and bono
and brain T and don't you call them
.nnli.n in,.,, ... ,-!.i ...... -
anybody?" "Oh, tboy are not money,"
say you. Rut they aro more than
money, and no ono can take them from
you. fiorrt you know how lo use
thom ? If you don't, it is time yon
wore learning. Tako hold of tho first
plow or hoe or jack-plane or brond-ax
that you can find, and go to work.
Your capital will soon yield you a
largo interest. Aye, but there's the
rub. You don't want to work ; you
want money or credit thnt you may
play tho gentleman and speculate, nnd
end in playing tho vagabond. Or you
want a plantation and negroes that
yon may biro an overseer to attend to
tbem, whilo you run over tho country
and dissipate ; or want to marry somo
rich girl who may bo foolish enough to
marry you for your good looks, that
Bho may support you.
Shame upon you, young man ! Go,
to work with tho capital you havo
and you will soon mako interest
enough upon it and with it to give you
as much money as you want, and
mmko you feci like a man. If yon
can't mako money upon what capital
yew have, you couldn't mako it if yon
had a million dollars In money. If
yon don t know how to use bone and
musclo and brains, you would not
know how to use gold. If yon let
tho capital you havo lio idle and wasto
and rust out, it would be tbo same
thing with you it you lad gold ; you
would only know how to wasto it.
Then don't stand about like a great
helpless child, wailing for somebody to
come In to feed you, but go to worir.
Tako tho first work you can find, no
matter what it is, so that you may be
sure to do it as Billy Gray did his
drumming well. Yes, what you un
dertake ao it well; always do your
best. If you manage tho capital yon
already havo, you will soon bavo
plenty more to manage, but if you can't
or won't manago tho capiuil God has
given you, you will never have any
nioro to manage.
WEIGHT OF LAR'GEvt. SMALL
EGOS.
In tho Stato of Massachusetts a law
has bcon enacted to regulate the equit-
ablo sale of eggs by tbe pound instead
of by the doxen. Tho Now York Her
ald thinks othor Stales would do well
to adopt a similar law, as there is
no equity in computing tho valuo of a
small egg equal to that of one twice as
large. A writer in tho American Gro
cer says :
Utl testing tbo dinerenco wo nnd
about this rosuls: Small eggs we say
will weigh say one pound per dozen,
medium, one and threo-lourtbs pounds,
whilo largo will weigh two and tbroo-
lourtb pounds. Wo think that ono
and tbrvo-tourth pounds is about a fair
average, wo buy about i,ouo dozen
per month from producers, and we find
all of the above difference in the woight.
Parties claim that tbo bens that lay
the small eggs will lay tho greatest
number. Now just see what a premi
um wo are paying for tho production
of an inferior article. We still notice,
and this by experiment, too, tbat tho
shells of two pounds of meat from tbo
small oggs weigh nearly double, that of
tuo lurgu egg. (i v win iry iu vjijnuiii
our idea: ror instance, one woman
brings us four dozen eggs that weigh
four pdunds ; we pay her eighty cents
for them j alio says nothing, it is her
due twenty cents per dozen for bor
eggs ; another comes, lias two dozen
eggs, we pay nor lorty cents, weigh
nor eggs and nnd sho has tour pounds
and sho docs not complain twenty
cents per dozen for eggs. Now wo say
justice demands that wo pay at least
as much lor mo iwo nozen 111111 wcigu
tour pounds, whilo tho shells of the
four dozen weigh much more than the
shells from tho two dozen. Difference
in those figures is intended tor ex
tremes, yet it is of every dny occur
rence that we find thom both. Our
opinion is that tbo prico should bo bas
ed on tho rate of two pounds to tho
dozen eggs.

"Relief in tho personality of Satan

the Church of England. Such is tho
offoct of the decision delivered on
Wednesday, in the case of Jenkins
against Cook, by tho highest court ol
tho United Kingdom. Cook is a cler

of bis parishioners, tho sacrament ol
the Holy Supper because he denied the

thereupon sued Cook iu tbe Arches

IN JANUARY,
(frem tha f blladelpkia Timoe.j
The remarkably mild weather of the
past month has sadly puzzled the wise,
acres wbo bad predicted an extraordi
narily eold winter, commencing early
in November. And even the "oldest
inhabitants" bavo set tfiejr wits to
work trying to account for tbo back
wardness of tho season. As a conse
quence items are published in netvspa
wrs of all sections furnishing parallels
to tbo seemingly unparalleled mildness.
Another intoresling titct bus boon ro
cullcd in this connection, to wit that
tbo first month of tbis Centennial win
tor closely rosombles that of 1770. Tho
newspapers of that day speak of the
extraordinary weather. It was even
said tbat the lack of tbo usual ioe in
Boston harbor- prevented Washington
from crossing bis forces and attempt
ing a surprise of tho city, and the
Americans wero enabled to continu
ally send-forth vessels from all parts ol
!tho harbor to the West lnilios for
munitions of war. Tho mild season
- ,rt llwi-fl f.Vnpntl Schuj ler, ill tho
first days of -January, to dispatch his
well planned little expedition up tho
Mohawk alley to surprise the Hol
landers under Jolinsou. On tbo con
trary, the news of that year from Eu
ropo indicated an intensely cold winter.
Tho weather records of this city dis
close many facts worthy of nota in this
connection. Ia comparing tbe mean
temperature of tbo post month with
that of each January for the last cen
tury it is found that in but seven in
stances was tbo teninarature as high
as in the month just closed. Lost Fri
day (Fobruary 11th) tho thormomoter
rcujlicd 70 degrees, a point which,
doring the wnolo century, was only
equaled in tho years of 1700 and 1870,
and was not exceoded at cither period.
The day may therefore bo regarded as
a romarkttblo ono. Tho mean tcmpera
turo, however, for the past month does
not reach the mean temporature at
tained in either of the yours alluded to,
but still tbo weather for tho month
was unusuully mild. According to the
records at tho Pennsylvania Hospital
tho mean temporature for last month
was 38 degrees, tho minimum fulling
only to 17 degrees ahovo zero. This '
was 6 degrees above the average for
January, and during the entire century
tbat point was only equaled in this ,
section in the years 1802, '28, '43, '58,
'03, and '70. In 1790 tho mean tcm
poraturo was 44 degrees, tho mildest
January on record. Fogs prevailed
very much in the morning, but the hot -sun
soon dispcrsod thcm. At that time
tho mercury often ran up to 70 degrees
in tbe shade at mid-day. It is chroni
cled in Pierce' report of the weather
thnt boys wero seen swimming in tho
Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. This
unusual weather was continued up to
Fobruary 7. In 1802 tho trees and
shrubbery were blossoming in January,
and in 1828 tho Delaware was a free
from ice as in Juno. Tho first month
of 1870 was tho warmest January on
record after that of 1790. Wbilo in
nearly all theso cases tho winter bos
been remarkably mild, there have been
instances noted when the winter did
not really commence until Fobruary,
and continued far into the Bpring sea
son, at one timo up to Juno. Even
during those winters when little or no
snow fell, tho summer following tho
unusual season waB generally reported
to be an exceedingly fino one. So it
will bo seen that tbe clerk of tho
weathor is such an occentric genius as
to defy all laws of precedent, refusing
even to do the bidding of those fogies
who claim to know by the color of a
goosc'B breast-bone under what condi
tions ho shall present himself in this
section.
FAST WALKING HOUSES.
The best gait a horso has, is tho fast
walk. A slow walking horse is an
abomination. Wbo bas patience with
such s horse? If you rido him or
drive him, bn exhausts your patience.
If be is used to plow or harrow, or go
on the road, be mopes along at a snail's
pace. He does only about half the
work of a rapid walker. If timo is
money, you make monoy because you
save time by having a horse that walks
fast.
Breeders should pay attention to
tbis matter. In selecting a stallion to
breed from, by all means select ono
that can walk fast. A slow walking
stallion will be likely to got slow walk
ing colts; wbilo tbe stallion tbat bas ft
long, rapid, spirited stride, will bo
likely to beget colts with s similar
action.
Then, there is a great deal of brood
ing to a homo with spirit and am
bilion. Those cold-blooded horses will
beget cold-blooded colts. The nearer
you can approach tho thoroughbred,
ovon for obtaining a fast walker, tho
better. Thoro is game there, and
spirit, and enduranco, and stamina,and
style. They aro the neat bony heads,
and the prominent eyes, the small ears,
the capacious nostrils, the largo lungs
and chests, tbe well dovoloped muse'es,
the bones as dense as ivory.
Even for walkers, then, get tbo near
ost to thoroughbred as possible, and
tho same for trotters, and, of course,
tho same for runners. Yoa bavo then
horses fit for your company, and for
any purposo to haul tho' plow, or
buggy, or carriago, or to carry you
upon their backs. Breed largo fino
mnros to thoroughbred horses, and you
will got colts that you will not bo
ashamed to have your friends see.
JUGGLERS A T MADRAS.
First Madhnr Sahib squatted down
bcloro tbo Prince ol Wales and put
down a small carpet about the sir.o of
those in which a lady would carry Rcr-
liin wool. It waa empty, of course.
MndharSahib was almost undressed
his arms wero quite bare, llo turned
his bosket down and chatted at it
then turned it over, and lot there was
an egg on tho carpet which was band
ed round to bo looked at Then he put
tho basket over the egg and chatted at
it again, turned it over, and lot out
walked a pretty pigeon, so tamo that
it let itself bo caught by the hand.
Next Madhar produced another egg
from beneath tho basket, and then
placed It miller tho basket any ono
could sea that tbo latter was a thin -frail
comioition without cover or false
bottom. Then, after incantations, he
raised tho basket, and out, strutted
tho first pigeon, and another exact

spectators. Other things did Madhar
