New York's Growth.
A New York correspondent writing of
the city's rapid growth says:
Thirty years ago the total valuation
was under 9500,000,000. At that time
we had no Central park. Y'orkvilln was
out of town and Harlem far away. There
is no doubt that much of the increase in
real estate value is dnc to Central park
The para itself has cost np to the pres
ent time, interest on the original out
lay incl"dcd, about 846,000,000. The
cost of tho land was $6,666,000. If the
same land were now cut up in building
lots it would probably bring nearly
8200,000,000. A plat that was sold in
1852, just before the park was laid ont,
for 83,000, is held to-day at 81,250,(XX).
The same rate of increase has not, of
coarse, been maintained all through
only in the best neighborhoods. The
threo upper wards, comprising the part
of the city above tho lower lino of tho
park, were valued thirty years ago at
abont 850,000,000. None of the land
was then improved. Tho value of the
same section is now cutimated at 8310,-
000,000. As a large part of tho land is
still vacant, there is room for a further
increase of value that can t>o reckoned
only by millions. It is not at all un
likely that at the end of another twenty
years tho total wealth of Now York will
run np to $2,000,000 000.
Alligator Fishing.
The nnnsual drought In Florida has
had the effect of drying up Sibley lake
to such an extent as to leave only a few
alueb spots here and there, and in these
alligators sought refuge in large num
bers, digging huge burrows into the
ground. This has furnished great sport
to the nettlers in the neighborhood, who
have gone in crowds to these spots, and
fished with fine success for the enor
mous reptiles. The manner of catch
ing them hat been to thrust long rods
with books at the end into one of the
cavernous barrows and stir up the occu
pants. One of the alligators would
snap av the rod, a jerh would fso ten the
hook into the eoft part of the lower
jaw, and it would then be easy to draw
the animal out and kill it with hatchsts.
It is not every year that such fishing
can be enjoyed, even in Florida.

able as a drink for the sick.
Hon the Japanese Cover Their Floors,
In Japan, however, tho floors are uni
versally hidden by tho tataiui or bedded
mats. Those aro of regulation size
throughout the empire, and in building
a house the rooms aro divided off so as
to hold a certain number of these units
of floor measure. A tat ami is exactly
five feet nine inches long, threo feet
wide, and two and one-half inches
thick, or in round numbers and Japan
ese measure, 6x3x2. The only diffcr
c-noo between the mats that cover the
imperial floor and those of thocottagers
is that tho former aro larger in size and
covered with a gayor border. In ordi
nary houses thus border is black or in
digo blue. In the p.iace it is white.
Even the throno of that defunct official,
tho tycoon, as well as tho place of emi
nence of tbo mikado, whom he imi
tated, was only a square, padded mat, a
few inches higher than common, and
e.lgod with variegated colors.
A Japanese floor Wing so substan
tially covered, need be only of cheap,'
unplaued wood, laid without mortices. ■
This floor is two and a half inches below
the grooved sills in which the doors, or
rather partitions, slide. Hinges are
used only on gates. Into this huge pan,
so to speak, which tho floor makes tho
mats are laid and fit snugly together,
lying with their surface level with the
sills or grooves. The mats arc tho
■household property of the tenants, as !
landlords rent the houses unca*peted, i
as wo do. In case of a fire, people pull
up these expensive ornaments and run ;
A collection of tatami usually roqnires
the first outlay of a Japanese couple to
ward housekeeping. Often these x-j
qniaitely clean and soft mats aro the
chief, if not tho only articlo of furniture i
in certain rooms. Tbo Chinese for
centuries have used chairs and lounges,
but the Japanese eschew these luxuries,
using the floor and its covering for
ceremony and the occasions of eating,
drinking and sleeping.
The tatami serve for tables, bedsteads
cbaiis and lonnging purposes. In
palace and in hut, alike guiltless of
sitting machinery, has grown np that 1
elaborate system of etiquette and cere
monial, renowned over the world. Only
by the generals in the field were fold
ing camp-chairs nsed. In tbo monas
tery the abbot sat in state or for rt flac
tion, in the arm-chair. The Japanese
have the word "koshi kake" (boek
roster), but there is no general word nor
equivalent for oar simple word "chair"
Most of the obsequious and exaggerated
politeness of these Oriental islanders
may be thus mechanically accounted
for. If tho superior is no higher than
the floor the inferior must bow low in
deed. To salute properly, indoors, one
must turn his bead into a temporary
tack-hammor and p >und vigorously on
the floor.
These tatami last nearly a lifetime,
as they are trodden on not with boots,
but only with socks. Every traveler in
Japan is charmed with these soft, clean,
dnrablo mats. Every gentleman, native
or foreign, removes his shoes, clogs or
i sandals before he impriute them. Block
ing feet is the rale indoors, and the na
tive socks are more thickly soled than
ours. The custom of wearing boots is
rapidly driving the "civilized " natives
to banish tatami and lay down carpets.
An English lady traveler recently
speaks of these mats ae being " soft as
Axminister carpetsthough her state
ment that they are "as expensive as
Brussels carpet" is an exaggeration.
There being by the lest census over
7,000,000 bouses in Japan, and each
house averaging at a low computation
thirty tatami*, there are over 210,-
000,000 of these mats, or (a area 420,-
000,000 square yards. They are the
very emblems of silence and cleanli
ness, end fashion may tome day de
mand that the tatami find a place in onr
booses, churches and hospitals.

The Two Kinds of Able Men.
There are still people who think that
nothing is of much account unless it
j brings in hard cash. A Tribune cor-
I respondent met one of these a short
| time ago, as he was inquiring his way
; to the famous school of philosophy,
' held every summer at Concord. He
was a sunburned farmer working in a
field near tho road.
j "Do yon belong down there?" said
he to the correspondent, pointing to the
place where tho school was held.
" No," was tho reply, "I am no phil
osopher."
" Queer lot, they aro," continued the
farmer. "I wonder how much the
whole lot could earn, put 'em right
down to good solid work. But I guess
they've got their bread and batter
ready provided, and I don't suppose
they have to find out how much they
are really worth."
We have known better informed men
than this old farmer who held in con
siderable contempt the gentler voca
tions, and were disposed to say, with
the cobbler of old, "There is noth
ing like leather." Men have their
leather. It may be Greok; it may bo
metaphysics; it may be popcorn; but
whatever it is, thero is nothing like it
for them.
There are two kinds of valuable per
sons. Those who make life possible,
and those who make life worth having.
The sunburnt farmer belongs to the
indispensablea who make life possible.
Business men, manufacturers, mer
chants, mechanics, sll who do, and all
who direct the world's daily work, be
long to the same class. But oh, sufi
burnt farmer, who made yonr farmer's
almanac that hangs in the fireplace by
its loop of tape so considerately sop
plied by the publisher ?
Aud farmer, who invented your clock,
price one dollar and fifty oents ? Who
found out how to make your boy's ac
cordion, and who composed tho book o
instructions with one hundred of the
best pieces of music, that came with
the instrument without extra charge?
Who pointed the beauteous picture of

And who will preach yonr ssnaon

without yonr denominational weekly to

these things could not earn much money
hoeing corn; bnt they belong to the [
class who make it worth while for corn I
to be hoed. They make life worth
having.— JTrntth't Companion.

Down in the World.
It may also l>e said, writes tho New
| York correspondent of the Buffalo
Courier, that New York swarms with j
men who, onco well up tho serial lad
der, if not actually at the top, tumbled
clear into the mud at the bottom, and
are stilt lying there, with no prospect
of ever again getting np. .Such men are ;
to bo seen in tho streets every day, and j
any ono making a tour of the cheap j
lodging houses in Chatham street and
the Bowery would probably find a good j
many of them. In some cases the fall
ia the result of misfortune, but in most
it is rinsed by fault. A special cose
came to my attention a few days ago. A
shabbily dressed man, with tho general
looks of a tramp, passed inn in the
street. In glancing at hia. face, I
thought it was familiar. As he slouched
along the sidewalk, I noticed that he
looked into the gutters and bent his
head over ash barrels and boxes—a
tramp beyond donbt, A fall look at
him took me back twenty-five years.
Long before tho war the same figure
was a familiar one on Broadway. Ho
was one of the dandies then, and his
natty dress and curling hair that hung
thick to tho shoulders made him an
object of attention on the promenade.
He followed no business, but his fam
ily—thoatri.al and operatic people—
were pretty well off, and he had all tho
spending money he wanted. And now
—well, now he is a tramp, picking
crusts out of the ash-boxes, sleeping in
the station-houses, or possibly in tho
parks, and as miserable a creature, this
one-time dandy of Broadway, as it ia
posaiblo for man to be. And there are
scores, if not hundreds, of just such
examples in the streeta every day.
Other places bare a fair share of the
same class, no doubt, bnt New York has
the largest variety and can show speci
mens of every degree, from tho scape
grace aon of the merchant prince all
the way down.
The Granitic* of Spain.
Grandee is the name of tho highest
rank of the Spanish nobility. The gran
dees—Grandea do Espanta -were orig
inally the descendants of the great feud
atories, or landlords, mostly of Gothic
blood, who held immediately from the
erown; but from the time of tho Em
peror-King Charles V. it bocamo the
practice of the Spanish sovereigns to
elevate new men to the rank of grandees,
just as in England men were raised to
the peerage as a reward for great
achievements, and sometimes only to
please their favorites. This occasioned
an immediate distinction between the
old and tho new ordor of grandees,
which waa marked by the former ad
dresaing each other in the second per
son singular—" thou " —without regard
to age or ofllcial station, while they ad
dressed, on all oooationa, the new nobil
ity by the title of " Your Exoellenoy "
with studied punctiliousness. The
collective body of the grandees is called
La Graodexa, corresponding to the
peerage in Great Britain, bnt they have
no political power, and retain only some
trifling privileges at court, such as keep
ing their hats on in the king's presence
and having military honors paid to them
by tho guard at the royal palace.

TOPICS OP THE BAY,
Records show that the longest drought
which this country has ever struggled
through was in the year 1782, when for
123 days in succession, ending Septem- i
ber 1, no rain fell over a considerable
part of what was at tbe time settled ter- J
ritory.
The saltan of Turkey is so morbidly j
afraid of assassination that be ventures
out doors but very little, and foreign j
diplomats aro troubled abont gaining j

terview, and the American minister
over a month.
Tho first official Sunday-school con-!
kus in tho United States is now being
taken by the government. Circulars \
containing questions are sent to every j
superintendent. These cover the nam-1
her of teachers and children, the ages ,
of scholars, tho number, value and ,
character of books in libraries, the
property owned, the money collected,
and tho increase in attendance since ,
1870.
The United Htatcn consul-general to
Iloumania writes that 991,000,000 bosh
els of wheat were exported from that
country in 1880, and also remarks that
the implements used in harvesting this
immense crop are exceedingly primitive,
the plow in general use being simply an
iron-tipped tree branch, while grain is
still cnt with a sickle. He thinks that
manufacturers of American farm ma
chinery would find a good sale for their
wares in llournania, and advises them to
send agents there at once.
Of Indian railroad laborers, a Mexi
can letter to tbe Chicago 77m* rajs that
they toil unceasingly, lint accomplish

of them to equal one white man. It is

strains his weakest part. The muscles
of the arms are not developed. An In
dian is strong in his back and legs, and
when it comes to carrrrnga heavy load,
a white competitor is nowhere. Diffi
culty has been experienced in familiar
ising the Indians with the wheelbarrow.
Mormon missionaries will be apt to
give Ohio a wide berth hereafter. One
evening recently two of these worthies
undertook to lecture at a small town
named Green Hill, located in the coal
regions of that Htate and mostly peopled
by foreigners, but when they appeared
they were set upon by the inhabitants
and egged out of town. 80 excellent
was the aim of the indignant citizens
that the prophets were said to resemble
anything but saints. The revelations of
Joe Smith and his successors aro not
exactly the doctrines that will be re
ceived or tolerated in a civilized com
munity.
The Salvation army is having a
rougher < anu>aign "in England than it
had Decently in
a public in Walworth, a suburb
of London, a woman in the procession,
having darted from the ranks to seize a
pipe from the lips of a spectator with
the exclamation, " that's your devil,'"
found herself knocked to the ground
with what is described as a terrific blow
in the mouth. Other members of the
army who went to her assistance were
similarly treated. Such occurrences
arc not especially adapted to inculcat
ing the gospel of peace.
It seems that Charles Hewlett, whom
the Illoomington mob took out of jai]
and hanged for killing the keeper, had
previously offended the people of the
place by fooling them. He went there
two years ago, wearing good clothes
and showing gentlemanly manners, and
qnickly became a social favorite. He
declared that he had no knowledge of
who he was nor any recollection of his
past life, being unable to even recall
his real name. This intellectual pe- '
cnliarity won him grest sympathy, 1
particularly from the women, and the
physicians discussed his case in a public
meeting. Then the fact came out that
he had long been a professional crimi
nal, and several thefts sent him to
prison for trial.
Some curious statistics have been
published of the cremation fnrnaoe
erected at Goths in the autumn of 1878.
Thus far it has been in use fifty-seven
times—once in 1878, seventeen times in
1879, and sixteen times in 1880. For
the present veer, np to August 17, only,
the number has been twenty-three. Of
the total of fifty-sevon cases, only one
came from Berlin, one from Breslau,
seven from Dresden, one from Frank
fort-on-the-Main, one from Hanover,
one from ('srlarhua, two from Leipsir,
three from Munich, one from Vienna,
one from Paris, and one from Weimar.
Ootha alone contributed twenty-three.
Only ten cases were women. Of the
forty-seven men, ton belonged to learned
professions, four to the army, and four
to the nobility. There were ten physi
cians.

The wonderful progress made in
l China has taen emphasized of late by
the Iter. Griffith John, a long time mis
sionary of the London Missionary
' society, who has leen visiting in this
country. Forty years sgo it was a crime
for a foreigner to ham tho Chinese
language, or for a Chinese to teach it to
him ; and though the Nanking treaty
was made in 1812, when Mr. John went
to China, twenty-five years ago, there
were only five places in the vast empire
in which a foreigner might dwell. The
great interior was still closed, as none
might go further than could be reached
in twelve hours from a treaty port. The
whole empire is now open. Thirteen
out of tho eighteen provinces have
been actually occupied by missionaries
and their families, the gospel has been
preached in nearly all tho principal
cities and towns, and the Bible and
many forms of Christian literature are
! circulated everywhere.
The emperor of Japan has been mak
ing qmte lately an official tour through
his realms, and on the occasion of his
arrival at a village, Otsnmura by name,
he was presented with three large carp
for hie special eating, which fish the
chronicler of the imperial travels de
clares to have be* n three feet each in
length. Tho wonderful things the Jap
anese do with their fish we can scarcely
understand. It seems as if carp are
among the most ancient of Japanese fish,
and have l>oen preserved by them from
time immemorial. Some reoent travel
ers tell marvelous stories as to the age
and size of the ciprinoides, which are
kept in holy precincts. It looks as if
the carp to-day, since it has received its
impulse in the I'm ted States, will make
the circuit of the world- Future biolo
gists will not have to speculate, as does
Mr. Wallace, on the migration of ani
mals, deducing their movements from
many different sources, for the man of
to day, like Noah of old, carries his
dnmb friends along with him. Re
cently it was noted that some of the
carp raised in the government fish
ponds by the United States fish com
mission had been carried to Ecuador.
The result has been perfectly success
ful. Though the land journey over the
mountains extended for many days, and
the small fish had been carried in tin
vessels on the backs of porters, the
little carp were placed in the best pos
sible condition by an enterprising South
American gentleman in a pleasant pond
in the very bet rt of the Andes.

on fashions and kindred topics, in a
recent letter from Roan, Germany,

Children are of enormous importance ia
Belgium and Germany, and their oars

to care well for children everyrhere; I
