Admiration for Wealth.
Tho simple truth is that wnilo tho ad.
mhatiou lor mere wealth is 03 old as tho
world, it is seen at its utmost in an
aristocratio, not iu a democratio com
munity, writoj T. W. Higginsou in Har
pers jsazar. xiamertou lias pointed
out more than ouco how in England tho
two forms of social prccedenco interlock
ana support each other.
An English merchant, long resident
in New York, told mo once that ho was
always impressed on revisiting England
with the greater deference there paid to
mere wealth as compared with his
adopted country. Ho told nie especially
of an occasion when lie rijde iu a car
riage with two kinsmen, ono of whom
was very wealthy, and afterward lord
mayor of Loudon, while tho olbor was
unsuccessful and poor. It was the
richer relative's carriage in which they
wero riding, and tho other, although by
far tho more refined and cultivated mau
of tho two, went uncovered in deference
ad tho way. Wliou my acquaiutanco
remonstrated witli him for this act of
sycophancy be admitted it, but an
siveied, "That sort of thing may do very
well iu Ameiica, but you will ilnd that
a man must act very differently here. "
Tho anecdote sheds floods of light
upon tho added felicities of wealth in
Europe. Whether they aro uobio fc
licltioa is quite another question.

The Heroic Mother.
Wo see a household brought up well:
a mother who took alone the burden of
life when her husband laid it down,
without much property, out of her pen
ury, by her planning and industry,
night aud day, by her fulness of love, by
her fidelity, bring up her children; and
life lias six men, ull of whom aro like
pilinrs in tho temple ot God.
Oh! do not read to ma of tho cam
paigns of Cajsar; tell me nothing nbout
Nupoleou'a wonderful exploits; I tell
you that as God and angels look down
upon the silont history of that woman's
aUiuinistrutiou, aud upon those mon
building processes which went on in her
heart and mind through a score of
years, nothing external, uo outward de
velopment of kingdoms, no empire
building, can compare with what she
has done.
Nothing can compare in beauty, nnd
wonder, and admirablcness, and divinity
Itself, to . the ( silent work in obscure
dwellings of filfthful women bringing
their children to honor and virtue and
piety,
I loll you the inside is larger than the
outside; for, tbo loom is more than tho fab
ric; the thinker more than tho thought;
tho builder more than the building,

Electricity is now being muoh used
for the unloading of lumber aud other
freight from vessels in conjunction with
a whip hoisting drum. The power used
is an electric motor, which is connected
by a Ult wiUi tiio shaft which operates

a lever, andean be slopped iu an Instant,
When tho lumber is drawn from tlie

A Rood many funny things ha ve been
'ohl nneut thn takingot the 11th oemuis.
bill most of them si era based upon tho
i'Xpcri-ncp of the enumerators iu seoUr
itit? tlie information asked for. Other
''tinny thing-, are constantly cropping
.nt that nro lully as ludicrous, it not
more so, than those already told. A
gentleman lecently connected with the
imsus Bureau hns given some of these
.) a Washington Star man.
One kind hearted enumerator in
uidiana, ith a dolicnoy worthy ot em
ulation, describes n lady In his district
is being "deformed in right oye. " Erery
oin has heard conrsenud ribald remarks
nbout eyes whoso axis ot vision was
ohliqned, but tho man from tho hoop
pole section struck a now stylo.
Another Indiana man mentioned a
considerable! number of persons iu his
returns as "Disablod by rum," or
"pnitinlly disabled by rum, " That par
nlysed the clerks until a shrewd ono de
cided that the enumerator reported
"jrtlm" ns an abbreviation ot rheumat
ism nnd correspondence proved ho was
right.
From llllnoli a man U reported ns
"deaf in bin ears. " Tho official was
probably thus pirticular for fear that
tho superintendent might think the
deafness was in the shouldois or kuee
joints,
Referring to the "deformity in right
eye, " many schedules returned reported
persons niiiicreil Willi "crippled speech
or "speech deformed.
A citizen of Arkansas raised such n
.orioui row with an enumerator that
tlie ciisi; was duly reported. The citizen
ui3lsteil that ho should bo reported on
the tcliediile as "disabled; loss of arms, "
lecauso "sonio son of a ho33 lilatol stole

"Innocent Wolf" was found to bo tha
head ot a fAmlly at Atchison, Kan.,
Indian, of course, and very npproprl-

iiiero are some sory nuoer names

A Nashville enumerator reported all
pulmonary cases as "ohronlo consump
tion, " but he evidently has mistaken
faith in the possible cure of that dread
disease. A doubting Pennsylvania
enumerator reported ono case, "claims
to be crippled," nnd a decidedly un
gallant one (to say the least) at Lowell,
Mass,, tells of a young lady as "de
formed; bow legs, bad.
Not tho least amusing of the census
humors is the number of namesakes of
great statesmen and others long gone
over to the "silent majority, " and these
are by no means confined to the South
ern nogroes, who assumed names at
choice after the emancipation.

Mrs, King, an English lady in India,

one evening about the Btars. "Venus wits

uar nnd that ho would uot let any more
rain fall, I reminded them, slio relates,

how they know tho suns wero not tho

They said it was oosy to know thoy
woro not tho same. "Somo aro the elder
brothers, and much stronger than tho
others so strong that they can kill men.
But this month wo havo a young sun
brother, and next month a still younger
one, and then the two youngest, who
are so weak Hint they can hardly oven
melt tho snow."
I asked thorn what became of tho sun
brothers w ho svero off duty. They said
thoy supposed thoy wero at their own
home, but did not know where .that
might be.
As lo tho fixed stars, thoy did not
have any great opinion of thorn. Thoy
