Canon Fleming, who was accused of plagiarism by tho London Pull Mall On trite, writes to that paper that tho use of a part of a sermon delivered by Dr. Tal jmndo, of Brooklyn, in tho volume of er nron published by tho Canon was an act of inadvertence on his part. IIo at tributes tho error to his habit, when rending, of making extracts for illustra tions in the pulpit and on tho platform, and apologizes to Dr. Tulmnge for the mistake. . Tho American party is the name of n new political party, just organized in l'hiladclphia, which has called a national convention to meet at Philadelphia next full to promulgato a platform to Ameri canize America and restrict emigration, eo that fewer of tho foreign element wilt coino in for tho next few years. The movement has attracted tho attention of a good many of tho old political parties, and it promises to bo something of a factor in the next Presidential campaign. i ' 1 ' It will not bo long before preparations for taking the eleventh census will be in order, and yet there arc four volumes of ihe tenth census that have not been pub lished yet. This is duo in part to the failure of Congress to make necessary np propriution, but the reason why Con gress has refused to do this is because o' the great delay of tho statistical! in pre paring tho volumes for tho press, which, it is held, has destroyed their usefulness and made it not worth while to publish them. Franklin J. Moses, who, as Governor of South Carolina, at ono time occupied a large share of public attention, but who was until recently nn occupant of the Massachusetts State Prison, has been par doned by Governor Ames. The strange career of Moses finally culminated in the forgery of tho mime of Thomas Wont worth Higginson, the author, early in tho year 188". In October of that year he ' w:as sentenced to three years in State prison. It has been represented that Moses was in poor health and could not livo long. A powerful syndicate of phosphate miners and manufacturers has been formed iu South Carolina for the pur pose of controlling prices. This is ono of South Carolina's greatest industries. Last year tho aggregate production of phosphato rock was 440,00:1 tons, of which 881,003 tons were exported and C8.000 tons were consumed by tho local fertilizer manufacturing companies. The aggregate value of this production was, in round numbers, $'2,000,000. Large qunntitiosof this rock are 'shipped to New York and other Northern ports. A leading official of Biddcford, Me., says tho Timet of that city, has Ih'CH troubled of late by a small sore appearing upon his forehead. Ho could not ex plain its cause, but it kept increasing in size and soreness. He bathed it with a healing lotion and covered it with court plaster, and it still continued to pain him. Ono day ho discovered tho source of tho trouble. It was a small green tag which the manufacturer or merchant hud placed upon the baud of his hat. A physician told him that the gore was tho result of poisoning duo to tho arsenic in tho green tag. . The following from the New York Sun is to tho point: "If country newspapers wero to publish tho names of subscribers who take, read and enjoy, and are grati fied by, yet refuse to pay for their home papers, the reputation of most communi ties for moral honesty would depreciate twenty per cent. An editor's labor is seldom ts'eetned or compensated. A lawyer will give you five minutes' advice on atopic and charge you $ j for it. An editor will give you advice on a hundred topics, and charge fivo cents a copy for his paper, and very often fivo cents given to an editor would save $5 given to a law yer. In fact, no other business is so uni versally robbed and swindled out of their labor and capital as country newspaper publishers." The "Labor Temple," tho corner-stone of which was laid at Minneapolis the other day, is to bo built by the Knights of Labor Building Association, which has a capital stock of (100,000. It will be completed in October, and the Geu eral Assembly of tho Knights of the United States will meet tiiere. Tho buse rileut will bo used as a barber shop, bath rooms and the like. The first floor will have five stores. The second floor will bo used for offices arranged in 6iuts of three. The third floor is nrrauged and will be occupied by the various labor organiza tions, there being one lurge room, capa ble of sealing 700 people, another 400, and a third 150, with committee, waitiug, and ante-rooms to each, and a large, light and airy library and reading-room essentially free in all respects. The fourth floor will be a large auditorium, eating at least 2,000 people. Already the lodge rooms and the stoles and one third of the oflices on the second floor, iu all about two-thirds of the entire build ing, are rented at nearly $7,000 per an num. " - AMERICA.

DETECTIVES IN JAIL. A few evenings ago Robert A. Tinker ton head of the celebrated detective agency, sat in the rotunda of the South ern, talking to a number of well-known gcctlemeu, all of whom were delighted to discover that a detective could speak the Knglish Innguago and express his ideas without the use of slang. The con versation turned uimiii the Maxwell case, in the course of which ono gentleman, a lawyer, with more father-in-law than knowledge of law, bitterly denounced the action of the State's representatives in having the Dctectivo McCullogh, otherwise known as "Dingfelder" thrown into jail to obtain Maxwell's confession. "What do you think of it!" ono of the party inquired of Mr. Piukerton. "I believe," said he, "that where such a method is tho only way to obtain the evidence necessary to establish guilt, it is the best way." "But isn't it dangerous?'' "Not at all under tho proper circum stances. If a man is employed to go to jail with the understanding that his pay is the samo whether he obtains a confes sion or not, there is no danger. Rewards arc what make men unreliable under thoso circumstances, because it is a temp tation to a man to make up a story. We never take a case for this reason on a basis of reward in tho event of success. Be sides, every ono knows that such testi mony in criminal cases is always the sub ject of careful instruction by tho court, and the testimony falls flat unless it is corroborated by other evidence. It would bo a very hard thing nfter a mnu had manufactured the confession to manufac ture the corrobi ration. Fncts invented can never have the strength of the facts as they exist. There is bound to be a discrepancy, because of the attempt to maku everything perfect. Wo have tried this method a number of time. Often wo have put men in jail who never ob tained nny admission, and we have ob tained admissions which were never used, as subsequent developments showed they wero not needed. IH'MriNO AS EXl'ItESS TUIF.F. "One of our first experiences in this lino was in connection with an express robbery. In 1859 or '00, a money package of $10,000 was stolen or lost from the Adams Eexpress Company's office at Montgomery, Ala. Nathan Marony was tho agent there. His character was such that strong suspicion pointed to him. The company did not discharge him. Finally another money package, this time $40,000, was missed from a seal pouch made up at Montgomery fcr New York city. The pouch arrived at Now York emp!y and investigation showed that the pouch had been ingeniously cut open underneath a pocket in the outside in which the way-bills were placed, There was a flap to this pocket, and when this flap was down the slit iu the pouch was uotdiscernnblo. Jt was pretty clear, it seemed, that the pouch had been rilled in transit. Investigation along the road did not result in a single clue til the robbery, and fiuullv some one ' took it into his head to make up a pack- ago similar to the one lost, put it in the heavy instrument. Bucholz said ins pouch and take it out. He couldn't do master had undoubtedly been attacked it. The package wouldn't go through ; by thieves. Schultey had on his person the slit. The case was then turned over at the time about $20,000 in German and to my father, Allen Piukerton, who de- j American money, and this was thought clarcd that tho money had never left the to be all he had, until, a sliort time office at Montgomery, and declared that afterward, Bucholz changed a $50 bill, Marony was the thief.

An so the only way to secure conviction was ax was found at the Waring house cov to get Marony' confession. Marony I ered with Wood.

' quainted, and eventually they were cell- mates. Bv decrees Scott obtaiued Ma- rony's confidence. Scolt represented biin- self as a cotton buver, and declared that if lm nunniit of his nrescnt trouble ho could go South with a little capital and iniikn a fortune in no time. He at all limes expressed a great desire to have Marony out, that they might go into the cotton busiuess together. Marony was uk.n u-itli the idea, and riuallv confided to Scott that he had a large amount of mntwv fcp.eretet 1 with a relative in Penn- sylvuuiu, near Jenkiutowu, and that tlm money wu under his wife's control. It was shortly after this that Scott discovered that iufluen- r'a.1 friends outside were coino to bail I, in, nut mid ho iiiumi-tcd this news to Marony. Then it was arranged that Scott should proceed to Jcnkintown, Pcnn., provided with a letter to Mnrony's wife instructing her to give him the package sho was taking caro of, as he was to furnish bail with it for Marony. Then they would both go south with the remainder nnd make a fortune. Scott was bailed ont and went to Jcnkintown as per arrangement. IIo met Mrs. Ma rony on the road out from Jcnkintown, went back with her nnd got tho money. There it was in the original pickage, $:i!l,500 only $500 short. Finally the ense against Marony was withdrawn in New York, and he was taken to Mont gomcry on a requisition for grand lar ceny. IIo went to trial confident in the State's inability to convict him nnd en couraged by the public sentiment in his favor. He made a hard fight until Scott's name was called and ho went on the witness stand. Then ho immediately pleaded guilty and was sent to the pen itentiary for ten years. There was no other method than the one adopted by which the truth could have been estab lished. TIIK MDRDEH OP A MISER. "Another case we had was a murder case. This was only eight years ago. Her man Schultey, of Schultey, a German miser, left Germany becnuso of annoy ance to which he was subjected in the town in which he lived, and came to America. He had a servant named Grum wald with him. Landing at New Yoik, they took lodging at a small hotel oil the Bowery on the east side. It was called 'The Sun.' They remained there several days, at least Grumwald did, while Schultey was looking around for a country plnce iu which to settle down. During his stay at tho hotel Grumwald told the landlord nnd a number of guests all about old Schultey, of his great wealth, and how he carried large sums of money on his person, having no con fidence in banks. He explained nil his master's particularities, and related how his master had fed him with food unlit for animals when he didn't absolutely keep him starving. Old mnn Schultey went to Norwalk, Conn., to look at a place two miles out of town. Ho con cluded to buy it nnd did so. Coming back to New York, ho prepared to go to Norwalk. Then ho had a quarrel with Grumwald, and beat nnd abused him. Grumwald concluded to find another em ployer,and quit old man Schultey. This lie told to a young German at the Sun, named William Bucholz. He inquired frequently of Grumwald concerning Shultcy's manner of hnbits, and finally determined to apply for Grumwald old place. Schultey told him be was poor and couldn't afford a servant, but Buch olz said ho would go to work at any price, and he was hired. Together they went to tho Grand Central Depot, on a cart containing Shultcy's goods when he started for Norwalk. Arriving there, Schultey took his house, one part of which was occupied by a family mimed Waring. When they had been there a couple of months Bucholz told the War ings of all the money his master had, and how ho used to put it on the table at night and wash his hands and face with it and" then sit and look at it for hours with a pistol at each end of the table. Bucholz slept in an adjoining room, nnd Schultey would never count his money until he had gone to into Buek holz's room with a candle and examined his face to see if he was asleep. He would jump up suddenly from his money nnd rush in on Bucholz, and very nearly caught him looking several times. Once he caught him by the the throat while he was feigning sleep nnd accused him of watching his money. When Schul tey bathed iu tho river near by he would make Bucholz go oil several hundred yards from the bank, and .lay his pistols besides his clothes on the bank, so he could shoot him if he came near. Schultey never bathed out of reach of His pistols. It was Schultey's habit to go to New York ontfe or twice every two weeks to change his money, German marks, into American money. Coming back Schultey took a train at Now York at 4.80 P. M., which would bring him homo before dark. Taking a later train, he would reach homo about dark. From tho place where he left the railroad he had to pass through some timber to his house. IIo always mado Bucholz walk in front of him on these and other j occasions. On the day of the murder ; Schultey and Bucholz took the later ' train from New York, and got off the train about dusk, starting straightway ' fur the timber, Bucholz, as usual, in the j lead. Some time after, Bucholz ran into the Warning a rooms anil said his master had been killed, while ho (Bucholz) was, ' as usual, a good distance ahead. Led by Bucholz, the Warings proceeded to tlm ivunik nnd there found Schultev ! dead, ills head cleft by some sharp, IIIUI1 UIUUUV WUIU .m.., ... - : the money found on Schultey, he must 1 have had at least 200,000 marks. Dr. ! Schumacher employed us to work up the case. The theory was, of course, that Bucholz had killed Schultey. It was a strong theory, but that was all. In all human probability Bucholz was tho only man who knew the facts, and we de- termined to get the facts from him. There was only one way to do this that was to L'et his confidence. Bucholz was locked up in jail charged with murder, I consulted with the District Attorney, John A. Annstead, and obtaiued his couseut to a nlan. I arranged to put a man iu jail and worm the secret from Bucholz if he had it. The man I selected was ono of our operatives, a German, named Ernest Slark; 1 had him , arrested at Bridgeport, Fairfield County, Conn., for forgery. He was committed to jail. In course of time he became ac quainted with Bucholz and toldhimwild stories of his past life nnd the success which had attended his efforts in forgery ; how he was often arrested, but always got out because all American officials wero corrupt. Once out with a little money he could start into forgery nnd make enough money in a short time to last a lifetime. Bucholz wanted Stark to get him out and Stark hesitatingly consented, arranging that ho should get out on bond and arrange outside to se cure the release of Bucholz. Bucholz, in his eagerness to make his escape sure, told Stark that if he wanted money he could find $5,000 or $0,000 plantcd'in a barn, under the floor. Stark said that if there was any other money he had better tell where it was as the Warings might find it or the barn might burn down. Bucholz hesitated for a long time, but after re peated proofs of Stark's square dealing said that the other money would be found under a pile of wood iu a corner of the barn. "Ho said ho had found where tho money was hidden ; said that it, was hu man blood on the axe, and not chicken blood, nnd that he had constructed that ambuscade; left the axo three days bo fore the killing; and, going ahead of Schultey, dodged in behind tho ambush, and waiting until Schultey came up, struck him with the axe. About this time Stark was bailed out, and he, a rep resentative of the German consul and myself went to tho house at the dead of night and found the money just as Bucholz described it to Stark. Stark maintained a corrcspoddence with Buch olz, and finally wrote him that the best way to get out wns to be regularly ncquit ted, as a lawyer whom Stark consulted had recommended. All Schultey's mon ey was marked, and among the money recovered in the barn was a 20 mark gold piece with a hole through the head, which on the last day he had been to New York he had purchased for a watch charm from a money changer. The case went to trial, nnd Bucholz was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. On appeal the cuse was reversed on a technicality having no bearing on the detective's story, nnd on second trial he was con victed of murder in the second degree. The jury stood nine for murder iu the first degree, nnd tho nine went over to the threo because it was Christmas Eve. Bucholz got a life sentence. "Thirty years ago we put a man in the Illinois penitentiary as a convict to as certain the cause of so many escapes and the mismanagement, nnd ho stayed there six months and found out everything. A number of keeper were discharged, nnd the prison has never since been misman aged. Everybody knows how McParlan learned the secrets of tho Molly Ma guires, and how wo convicted "Schwartz, the Rock Island robber, through William J. Gallagher, is still fresh in the public mind." "You believe, then, that a mnn's con science must necessarily cast off a load of crime?" "I do. I believe that no man could ever keep the secrets of his crime to him self if he met the right man to inspire his confidence. Tho man to inspire his con dence must be, in the criminal's eyes, a greater, or at least as great a criminal as himself." tt. Louis (jlvbe-Democrat. An Apache Intoxicant. From corn the Apaches make a fer mented drink called tiz-win, which is not ns strong as the corn whisky of civilization, but their peculiar method of drinking it compensates for its lack of strength. For some three days before it has reached its highest point of fermenta tion, not a single piece of food .is swal lowed. At the end of that period they fill themselves to their utmost capacity with the unclaritted tiz-win. Although half starved.'.it takes but a few moments to make them feci as if they had a Major General's rations for six mouths previous, while the most conspicuous effect is to swell their bump of combativeness to an inordinate degree. If a largo number have indulged in this liquor serious out breaks and disturbances are .almost sure to ensue, especially if other bands of In dians or any whites are near enough for them to reach before this temporary stimulated combativeness has worn away. In fact, after having, when sober, de cided to go upon the warpath, by far the most important preliminary is the manu facture of huge quantities of tiz-win. Its peculiar composition, and the no less pe- eulrir manner of taking the liquor, give it a most lasting effect upon too system, nnd an Indian with his stomach distended with it is said to have a head six or eight day "spree," and dui 'his timo his warlike qualities ai most conspicuous. There is much, evidence to snow tnai alcoholic liquor made from corn is an an cient drink with these people, every thing that was necessary to manufacture it being found iu their old ruins and un der circumstances that make such a con jecture not unreasonable. Even in the caves of the old cliff-dwellers of Arizona there have been found cemented deposits of . corn so ancient that when disturbed tho grains fell from the cob a mass of impalpable powder, leaving tho cob, singularly enough, as fresh as if it had been gathered the harvest before. CVn tury Mtiyuine. Daniel Was There. A rich old speculator imagined that he knew about art, whereas he was un igno ramus in regard to everything, in fact, except in making money. This old fraud determined to make a valuable present to his son-in-law, who was a preacher. It was suggested to him that an oil painting representing "Daniel in the Lions' Den" would be very appropriate, so uu order was given to a painter to pro duce the work of art. It was almost fin ished when the old speculator was called to inspect. It represented a cross section of the den with Daniel walking about among the lions. When the old man saw the picture he refused to take it. He in sisted that if Daniel was in the den neither he nor the lious couid be Seen, and the artist had to cover the lions and Dan with attack coat of black paint. When the son-in-law wa presented with the picture he was somewhat dazed to know what it represented. "It represents 'Daniel in the Lious' Den,' " replied the art critic. "But 1 don't see either of them." "That makes no difference. They are in there. I saw 'em myself."-!- Jvuln't Cvmvdnian, i THE PORT OF VERA CRUZ. SCENES IN MEXICO'S CHIEF CITY ON THE GULF. Opcn-A ir Kntertalnmpnts Flrefllea na Playthings The Prison Fort res.. A correspondent of the Snn Francisco Chrnnieh says, in a letter from Vera Cruz, Mexico: The streets are cobblcstoned, with open sewers down tho center, croased by kcnnel-shapcd little budges, always set a little above the corner. The streets arc fairly wide and straight, and are tolerably clean, not seldom grass grown. An admirable system of street cars exist here, as in most Mexican cities of any size. The houses are mostly two story, with one occasionally lifted to something of three-decker dig nity by virtue of an entresol. The favorite architectural color is a lively yellow, picked out with green, which imparts a whimsical air of ambi tion, taken in conjunction with the time worn and venerable aspect of the town as a whole. Indeed, the general appenrance suggests a household where the worn and faded carpet is patched to a degree, and tho furniture furbished up to pre serve the semblance of gentility. A feature which gives to the nocturnal phases of Vera Cruz a gay and attractive air is the fashion of al fresco entertain ment. One pasr cs the hotels and cafes in the evening to find them deserted within, while the wide, stone-paved ar cades before them nre thickly liucd with little tables and chairs, ft which sit hun dreds of men sipping their coffee, or oth er after-dinner beverages, chatting, gos sipping, laughing. These portales are really a sort of exchange whither one turns to find a friend whom one may seek after business hours. It is said that tho gentlemen of Vera Cruz do not take their coffee at table immediately after dinner, as is the custom, not even when dining at homo,but rather postpone it until they stroll out to the portales. Ladies are not seen here, however, in conformity with their social restrictions in Mexico. A charming walk, especially nt night, is to the promenndej which here corre sponds to the nlnmcda of other Mexican towns -in the district known as Extra Muros.or "Beyond the Walls" although no city walls now remain, nnd the suburb is populous. Here is a calzada, or paved walk, between two rows on either side of tall and thick old coconnut palms, where one may walk while one hears the waves breaking in surf against the seawall close by, or the traveler may rest on the stuc coed benches and dream of the history of Vera Cruz in bygone day, under the white gleam of the lighthouse. Of tliese beacons of aid there are three one with electric lights up at the Extra- Muros, another in the tower of what was once a church, converted since the time of Juarez to the uses of a library, and a warning to the mariner. Then over at Vlua another beacon tower sends its rays streaming out to sea. At night one may see the children in the streets playing with a luciernaga a great firefly tied to a string, nnd men go about with net-covered baskets full of cocuyos a smaller variety for sale. These insects are nlso carried up to tho City of Mexico, whereon holiday occa sions, one may see them on the Zoealo, worn by both sexes. Ladies imprison them sometimes a whole handful in the lace at tho throat or on the head, and men wear them on the coat, buttonniere fashion, by means of a hairpin straddled across the narrow joining between the thorax and abdomen, so that the phos phorescent little creatures are not hurt, further than by restraint. Now and then ono has a touch of the metropolis, seeing nn old woman sitting on the curb, with a mat before her, hold ing a choice collection of cigar stumps, gathered into little heaps, so many for a chieo, us tho coast people call the cuar tillu or three cents of the plateau. It gives a squeamish sensation, too, to see a piilful of devil fish; for tho poulpe is largely eaten and is regarded us u great delicacy, even in the capital. But a nastier, less appetizing matter it would be hard to find than this disgusting ani md. The market of Vera Cruz is uninterest ing ns to sight and ensemble, and not particularly good as to wares, even in the flsh line. It is said, and with some probability, that tho best fish is shipped to the interior, as it used to be in the days when vide tradition the choice of the catch at Vera Cruz smoked on the table i.n Montezuma's capital twenty-four hours after it was taken from the sea. There is liitlo to be seen in Vera Cruz that is of intorest to a stranger the library, situate ns aforesaid in a former church, whoso tower is now a lighthouse; an orphan asylum; the yellow fever hos pital, if one's pluck be good ; the Black l linsl, and that is alio.it all. J lie charitable institutions are notably simple for their systematic and effective man agement. The Black Christ is an image m a chapel out by the Extra-Muros, and, wh le it is somewhat tawny in color, it is by no means so indicative of the nativo faith in a Saviour of their own colour ns another etligy I saw at Cuantla, which really was typical, not only as to the much darker hue, but also in feature and expression. At Ulna nre a lighthouse, observation and signal tower, and there are confined 150 of the worst criminals in Mexico, watched over by a garrison of eighty soldiers. This castle, with its walls three meters thick, seems to be as firm as the solid rock on which it stands, but it is, nevertheless, undergoing repairs for de cay, resulting not so much from the rav age of time as from the injuries wrought bv mvriads of sea-urchins, or echino- derms" The tlurk-browed, villainous faced prisoners offered us, as we passed through the gloom of their hopeless dens, wonderful cups, cl'L's, rings, turtles, ba.-kets and what not, carved in darkness and misery from cocoanut and pine-ball shells with a delicacy and skill that I have never seen equaled in the handiwork of China or Japan. A writer in an exchange says that iu experiences in Colorado and Utah he never saw au Indian w ith a cold. He conclude that it is our hot rooms that give us colds. A canary lost its voice, and a tumor as large as a pea was found at the root of the bird's tongue. The bird was chloro formed, the tumor was cut away, and the canary now idugs as well as ever. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. Recipe. Shout Cookies. Rub half a pound of Inrd or dripping into a pound of rice flour, add six ounces of brown sugar, one egg and a tablcspoonful of lemon juice. Mix with a cup of warm milk, into which a tcaspoonful of salerntus has been stirred. CAri.iKi.owF.n. Choose white cauli flowers, very close and firm; trim and wash them; throw them into boiling water in which you have put a handful of salt or a little flour mixed'hite a little water, which will keep them with; when they yield to the pressure of tho finger they are done; take them out of the water and set them to drain. Covntiiy Pi ddino. Place a layer of stale bread rolled fine, in the bottom of a pudding dish, then a layer of any kind of fruit; sprinkle on a little sugar, then an other layer of bread crombs and of fruit ; and so on until tho dish is full, the top layer being crumbs. JIake a custard ns for pics, add a pint of milk nnd mix. Pour it over the top of the pudding, and bake until tho fruit is cooked. Tomato Sorr. A delicious tomato soup is made by frying some bits of beef and ham in a saucepan with a lump of butter and a small onion sliced. Take a quart can of tomatoes, or a dozen fresh ones (medium or small-sized), add a coffee cup of stock nnd then put the moat in with it nnd boil; season with pepper and salt. This may be strained or not; of course it is in better taste to strain it; if the soup seems too thin after it is strained, put it lack on the stove, add a tablcspoonful of flour rubbed smooth in cold water, nnd let the soup simmer gently for half an hour. Spinach. This is one of the most wholesome vegetables. It has been called by the French physicians "the broom of the stomach." It may be simply boiled in salt and water, drained, finely chop ped, and then returned to the saucepan with some butter; set on tne nre uuiu the butter is melted and then serve.

I prayed for th' glorlon beauty , Of morning sunshine sweet To brighten up dull duty And fnll about my feet But 'ero the sunlight golden Its mission could begin, Across the hill, all golden, The'dead leave drifted in. . planted rare sweet rose In April's soft bright air, And said when June disclose Their buds and blossoms fair, I'll rest my eyes on fragrant And beaut'ous borders gay: Alas! a wandering vagrant Suppplanted me In a day f I heaped in iron coffers, Gold under lock and key, And tho't the earn it offers, The comforte, are for me, But while I saved, a-weary, To add to hoarded wealth, I 'woke one morning dreary, To find it flown by stealth. My soul grew sad with burden; I took for life, a friend, And said this golden guerdon, This love can never end. A form crept in ; I know not If it wns fate, or sin ; But nought is left, I trow not The dead leave drifting in. Manda L. Crocker, in Detroit Free Press. HUMOR OF THE DAT.

Beyond thoso immediately interested there is no adequate conception of the vast lies of the paper bag business. There are four houses iu this city, em ploying each about 50 or l0 boys and girls, and running two or three cutting and pasting machines and priutiug presses, that turn bags out by the hun dreds of thousands every day. The de mand is said to be greater than the sup ply. The orders are uot confined to this city alone, but come ulso from distant towns. A new and ingenious labor-saving machine, that has, been tested and worked admirably, is now beiug set up in one of these establishments and great things are expected of it. Straw, white, andTnanila are the pua rs mostly used, and black ink. Many of the larger gro cery houses and variety stores have their special cut blocks from which their ad vertisements are printed. One of the bag factories also turns out haudles for packages, but thisj is a monopoly under Dbtent rights. .hui York Times. J si
