Who could have thought the world would ba awakoIu inch short space, seeing an hour a^o

H o w dark i t ivas; that yonder cloud could t akeSnrh glory on her ski r ts , scarlet and >now,

With stripee of saffron broadening all along—Better than 1 cau make them in my song .

So doth the heavy darkness which we takaSometimes about us suddenly d e p a r t ;

Tht-re Cometh in it ju*t a little w e a kAt lir-t, whereby there stcaleth to the heart

A shadowy gleam of balf-relacUntlight,Than more, till by aud by a l lge t t e th bright.

Bitting beside my window this sweet honr ,And seeing all thing* in to newness burs t ,

I somehow have got nearer to the PowerTha t made the world, and made the light a t first ;

And all my fears about tha t long, l"iig n ightT h a t cometh on so soon, have vanished quito.

Moreover, I have learned to hold Him wisoWho useth all his good, as freely given :

Seeing the poor plain llower unclose her eyes.Ana turn her face to take the kiss of heaven,

A? if she knew that to her needful light,Iuii i i i tcPity had bound fast her right.

Could the great world have tu rned herself aboutIn the embracing cradle of the air,

To hall the rising of her sun, withoutThe intervention of His special care.

Who called her out of chaos and old night,Bajfag, Let there bo light, aud thoro was light 1

O Soul , sit thon no more in sad miaease,As if tha t thou apart from Him couldat dwel l ;

A SAFF '"

In the second yeur ot the late civilwar I was married, and went to livewith my husband in a small village onthe Hudson, some fifty or sixty milesfrom New York. Tho house we occupied was a largo, rauibling mansion, ofconsiderable !.nii(iuity for this country,and stood a litt e apart from the rt-Bt ofthe village, surrounded by broad fields,and eoiijiiiaDding a glorious view of theriver and the hills of the Highlands. Ithud been built before the Revolution bymy husband's great grandfather, and,though destitute of many "Modern im-provements," was still a comfortable andpleasant residenco.

My husband was a lawyer and a largoreal estp.te owner in the neighborhood,and at the period of which 1 write, i»asgreatly perplexed, like many other per-sons in the North, by the perilous stateof the times, and especially about thesafe investment of his fu:;d8, as the sus-pension of specie payments, the greatrise in gold, and the military disastersin Virginia, made it almost "impossibleto tell where it would bo safe to depositor to use one a money iu any largoamount.

In tho course of his transactions inrealestate it happened one day, (hat hereceived what was for us tbca a Iar^esum, about ten thousand dollars, whichhe brought home and placed in mycharge, telling me at the same time thathe should have to be absent during theevening, attending to some business onthe other side of the river, and shouldnot bo at home until about midnight.

"You can place the money in the »are,dear," he said, as he gave it to mo, "aidto-morrow I will try and find somo wayto invest it securely."

So saying, ho stepped into the buggy,which was standiDg at the door, anddrove away, taking with him our hirodman, Silas, and leaving me with no onein the house but Dinah, an old coloredwoman, who fulfilled in our modesthousehold the functions of cook andmaid-of-all-work, as ehe had long donein the family of my oivn parents, who,on my marriage, had yielded her to meas a valuable part of my dower.

Dinah was indeod a character. Shewas tall and very stout, weighing, shewould never tell how much, more thantwo hundred pounds. She was veryblack, and as lazy as she was black. Ido not think any one could move moredelibera !y than Dinah did, that is, tomove at all. And, by a wonderful dis-pensation, she seemed to feel that what-ever her other faults might be, she wasstrong on the point of locomotion, Forwhen she had been moving with a pon-derous slowness almost maddening to aperson of ordinary quickness, one of herfavorite expressions was, "Well, MissLillie, what shall I fly onto next ?"How she accomplished all see did, thobrownies only know. We usjd to some,times almost tremble when there was anyspecial hurry about our domestic ar-rangements, and yet Dinah always man-aged to bring affairs to a consummationjust when a minute more would haveruined everything, and with undisturbedfront, would slowly enunciate, "Well,mis8, what shall I fly onto next ?"

It was nearly dark when my husbanddeparted, and, after giving my orders toDiuab, or rather my suggestions, I lefther, and made tho tour of the house, tosee that all was safe aDd properly lock-ed up. This duty attended to, I wentto my bed room, intending to pass thotjme in reading until my husband shouldreturn.

It was a large room on the groundfloor, with two French windows openingon a broad verandah. The windowswere draped with long yellow-silk cur-tains, between which the moonlight faint-ly eutered, dimmed by the shadow ofthe roof of the piazza, and partly inter-cepted by the fringe of woodbine whichhung fro/n it. My bed stood with itsfoot toward the windows, and its headabout hulf a yard from the wall. Itwas an old fashioned structure hungwith yellow silk like tho windows, but Islept with the hangings drawn back andfastened to the head-board. The bedwas so large that no one ever thoughtof moving it except in those seasons ofhousehold panic called house-cleanings,when the combined strength of three orfour men was called into requisition todraw it into tho middle of the room. Soelaborately carved was it that it wentby the name of Westminster Abbey inthe family. At one end of the room, atno great distance from the bed, was alargo safo built into the huge chimneyof tho mansion, with a door high enughfor a person to enter standing upright.Hero I was aooustomed to pkco, everyevening, our plate on shelves which ex-tended around the sides, en which alsowero placed boxes containing papers andother valuables. Opposite the foot ofthe bedstead, between the windows, wasa mirror, running from the floor almostto the ceiling. Like all the other furni-ture in the room, it was old and hand-some. How maoy happy scenes it hadreflected in the hundred years it hadstood there !

Tho night was exceedingly hot, aud

I therefore left tho windows oponthough I drew the curtains before Iseated myself at the table in tho centerof tho room, lig'i'e 1 the candles, and be-gau to read, in order to pass the heavytime before the return of my huHband.

After a while, I heard the clockstrike 9, at which hcur Dinah alwayswent to bed. Her chamber was in theattic, the third story of the house. Re-membering some-household matter aboutwhich I wished to s<peak to her, I startedhurriodly up, and went into tho entry tointercept her before she got up stairs.I had to wait about a miuute before shecame, and our oo'loquy continued threeor four minutes more.

Whon I returned to my bedroom,feeling somewhat tired, I resolved to goto bed, as, at that late hour in tho coun-try, it was certain that no visitors wouldcall, and my husband could lot himselfin with the latch-key, which he alwayscarried. I thought, however, I wouldtry to keep awako by reading, and ac-cordingly placed a light-stand and thecaudles at tue head of my bed. I thenolosed and fastened the windows, un-drebsed, and got into bod. They key ofof the safo I placed, as usual, under mypillow.

After reading perhaps half an hour, Igrew weary of t IO book, aud, quietlylaying it di wn, remained for some min-utes meditating with my eyes fixed onthe mirror opposite the foot of the bed,ia which I could see myself reflected,t>sreiher with the yellow silk curtainsbehind my bead. 1 was thinking, notunnaturally, how pretty I looked, andhow happy I was with such a loving hus-band and such a large sum of money se-cure in our safe, when suddenly I sawin the mirror a night that made my heartstand still. A hand appeared betweenthe curtains, drawing them slowly apart,and grasping cautiously the head-board.It was a man's hand, large and ooarseand dark, as if belonging to a mulatto,or to one greatly tanned by exposure tothe weather.

My first impulse was to start fromthe bed and scream for help. I repress-ed it by a strong effort of will, and layperfectly motionless, except that Ipartially olosed my eyes, keeping themonly sufficiently open to watch themirror. As quick as lightning my mindtook in the situation. In tho few min-utes of my absence from the room, whiletalking to Dinah in the entry, a thief, arobber, a possible murderer, had stolenin by the piazza windows, and had hid-den himself either under tho bed or behind its drapod head. IT© was doubt-less armed; and, if I cried out, and at-tempted to escape from the room, h«could easily reach the door before Ioould, and for his own security wouldprobably put me to death. Dinah wastoo distant, and too foeblu and clumsy,to afford.me any assistance, and besideswas by this time fast asleep in the thirdstory. The man doubtless knew thatmy husband had that day received alarge sum of money, and had gone offacross the river, leaving me alone, ornearly alone, in the house. He had en-tered, caring only for the money, andanxious, above all things, to escape un-detected and unrecognized. If I lethim know that I ivas aware of his pres-ence, I should expose myself to murderand perhaps to outrage worse than mur-der. My obvious policy wac, to keepquiet and to feign sleep. I thoughtalso of the money, and was not altogeth-er willing to resign that without aneffort to save it, and to have at leastsome clew to the identity of the thief.I confess, however, that this last oon-sideration was a very strong one, and Iam afraid that, if I could have seen myway clear to an escape from the roomand the house, I should have fled incon-tinently, without stopping to see morethan that terrible hand.

A moment which seemed an hour pas-sed while these thoughts rushed throughmy mind. I lay perfectly still, withmy half-closed eyes watching tlie mir-ror. Slowly and noiselessly the fright-ful hand pulled up i:s owner, until Icould see the head and face refleoted inthe g'ass, and glaring at me with fierceyet wary eyes. The man was a mulat-to, very dark, with evil passions writtenin evei-y lineament. I could scarcelyrefrain from shuddering at tho sight ofhis hateful visage, and speedily closedmy eyes to shut it out.

I was not quito ready for the ordealthrough which I knew I must soon pass.I wanted to move my light stand a lit-tle out cf the way, and to so arrangetho bed clothes that I could spring fromthe bed without impediment. I there-fore gave a little sigh, and moved as ifabout to awake, slightly opening myeyes at the same time. Tho head andthe hand disappeared. I then compos-edly made the desired changes in theposition of the stand and the arrange-ment of tho clothes, put my watch withthe key of the safe under "the pillowso near the edge that thoy could beeasily taken out, as I know they wouldbe—extinguished one of my candles,said my prayers, and closing my eyes,resigned myself to my fate, with novery sanguine or definito hope of extri-cation from my dangerous position.

I made my breathing regular and alittle louder than when I was awake,aud lay with my cbeok on my hand,counterfeiting 'eep. At last the still-ness beoame more terrible than even myfirst agony of fear. Several times Ifancied that I heard a soft step approachfrom the place of concealment, Asoften I was deceived. Then, again thatdreadful stillness, in which I countedthe tieking of the watch through thepillow. It t t ) a positive relief whenhe came out from behind the curtain,stopped at the bed and stood lookingat me, as I was well aware, though myeyes were closed. I forced myself tobreathe audibly and regularly. He cameoloser ; he boot over me. He passedthe lighted candle slowly before my facetwo or three times. I felt the hea't andsaw the light through my closed lids,whioh must have quivered, though hedid not observe their motion. Heavengave me strength not to move or cryout. Satisfied, apparently, he put baokthe candlestick on the stand, and hishand crept softly and slowly und«r thepillow, and, one by one, he removed raywatch and the key of the safe. He stoodso long looking at me, that I felt impel-led to open my eyes suddenly upon him.

As ho wulked softly toward tho Bafo,

I did partly open them, and cautiouslwatched him through my eyelashes,heard him fumbling with tho look, an<onoe he looked over toward the hed.—My eyes were wide open, but I olose(them in time not to be detected. Watching him stealthily, I saw him open thdoor of the ease, go back to the etancfor the candle, and return to the safewbioh he entered without withdrawinjthe key from the lock.

Here was th) opportunity for whiolI had waited and watched. I sprat);lightly from the bed, with one bournreached tho safe, dasl.ed tho door toturned the key, and with one long ancloud shriek fell prostrate and senselesson the floor of the dark room.

How long I lay upon the floor, I donot know—probably for a few minuteionly—but, as I wag unconscious, iseemed, wbon I oamo to myself, at ithe interval had bean a long one. I waaroused by his bLws upon the iron dooiand found myself weak after the longnervous tension, but still calm. I re-member tbe satisfaction with whichthought, while I lay there before risingthat be oould not escape, mingled with (vague and foolish dread that he mighin his rage burn the valuable contents othe safe. He pounded desperately onthe door, and swore fearfully at findinghimself entrapped. But, us I took n<aoiioe of his outcries, be soon grewquiet.

Presently I rose, and, lighting a candie dressed myself with all possiblehaste and with trembling fingers, turning often to look at the safe, from undeitho closed d r of which I more thanhalf expected to see blood trickling—why, I cannot tell, except that my minewas full of images of horror. I wassoon in readiness. I had no means o:ascertaining the time, as he bad mywatch in his pooket, and there was noclock in the room. TakiDg the candleI hastened to arouse Dinah, who, as Ishook her, slowly opened her eyes, andwith scarcely any more than her usualslowness pronounced her formula :"Well, Miss Lillie, what shall I fly-Lord a massy I what's de matter wid thechile ? You ain't seen a ghost—haveyou, honey ?"

"No, Dinah ; but I've seen somethingworse than a ghost. I've caught a robber, and he's in the safo. What time isit?" and, looking at the clock, that ticked slowly and deliberately-as how couldDinah's clock help doing?—I saw tomy great relief that it waa nearly mid-night.

We had scarcely got down stairs whenI heard the sound of wheels. A mo-ment more and my husband wag in myarms, listening with amazement to arapid narrative of my singular adven-ture. I would not suffer him to oponthe safe until Silas had summoned as-sistance from the neighboring bouses. Ifeired that my doeperate prisoner mightstill escape. When the safe was openedthere sat my burglar on tbe trunk, halfstupefied for want CK air, a knife in onehand, the package of money in the oth-er, and tbe burned out candle at his feet.He was recognized as an old offender,who had not been long out of StatePrison, to which in due course of lawhe was soon sent back for a term ofyears, which, I devoutly hope, may lastas long as he Jivea; for I confess Ishould not feel easy to hear that he wasagain at large. The look of rage hegave me on coming out of the safe willnot soon be obliterated from my memo-ry.

My husband, I need hardly say, waigreatly pleased with my safe investmentand complimented me highly on theconrage and coolness which had doubt-less saved my life as well as our money.The love and pride with which he regard-edme, and with whioh he always, to thisday, rehearses ray exploit, wire of them-selves a sufficient compensation for thehorror and the agony of that long sum-mer night.—Appleton's Journal.

A MinisterialDid you know that tho first time that

ever I fired a gun, it was at a "chippy,"and I did not hit him I My father, it

i d hy , it

was, that let me trot behind him at sev-en or eight years old, while he huntedthrough the fields. How my nervesscrewed up wben he took aim I and whata crash in my over-sensitive ear was thereport! It was always painful and al-ways an irresistible fascination. Andso, one day, returning home, out ran abold chipmonk, and coursed along thewall with trailing tail, then mounting astone, tail oocked, he said :

"Hit me. hit me, hit me, he, he 1""Here, Henry, do you want to shoot?""Yes sir—no—yes, I do.""Get behind me—let the gun rest on

Advice Gratis.A good many women are, in these

days, trying to earn their own livingwithout any, or with very slight, preliminary preparation for the task. Theicallings bring them necessarily in contact with business men, who are busymen; and this lack oftraioing ofien injures their advancement, by their wanof taot in dealing with men. We propose here to offer a few Hints to Womeabout to Engage in Business, and thistherefore, in a lecture for women onlyno men admitted, under any circumstances.

"Call upon a man of business in thehours of businoss ; transact your busiuess, and go about your business": Thiis the brief but wise counsel, dear sistors, which you will fiad displayed in1 rge print on many counting roomwalls. Please to remark that it is noa joke. A business man's minutes areprecious. He has not nearly as manyas he needs. If he has any to spare aany time, he knows what to do withthem. Do not, therefore, scare a poorover-burdened fellow-oreature out of hiswits by demanding whether he has halan hour to spare, or by asking when how;ll be at leisure, or by offering to waittill he has nothing to do. If you havebusiness, plunge into the middle of itand despatch it quickly.

Moreover, when you visit an office orcounting-room on business, prepire yourbudget beforehand, so that you maymake your statement brief and pertinent.Do not oblige a busy man to cross-ex-amine you as to your purpose ; do not gowith half defined or dimly formed w ishes.

Learn to take "yes" or "no'1 for ananswer. A busy man has to deciderapidly; if he is fit for his place, and ifi<m have stated your wish or proposi-;ion clearly, he can decide at oneo. Hesays "yes," and your affair is settled ; or10 says "no," and it is also decided.But when he saya "yes,' and you keeplira ten minutes or half an hour detail-ng ifs and hits, be sure he regrets hisionsent; and if he says "no," and youilead with him to take it back, be surehat though be may be polite as a French

danoing-master, he regards you as a>ore.

Again—learn that every business isnecessarily conducted in a certain way,and has certain forms and rules, whichcannot well be violated. They mayeem absurd and unreasonable to you

nay, they always do appear so; theroforerou almost always plead that in some

way, in your case, they shall be relaxed,or broken through ; and too often you_ain your point, just that once—forwhat man can resist a woman ? Buthough you may prevail, you lose by itn the long run; it is remembeeed

against you; end when presently you'drop out," and somehow go no moremployment in that quarter, vou mayenow that it is becauso you have rashlyviolated this rule.

When you enter an office or a countng-room, forget, if you oan, that youare a woman. To the business manwhom you are approaohing, you are onlya machine, desirous to be sot in motion ;io is only a machine; all about him, fortho time being, are only machines; and

machine has no heart; it makes noallowances ; it exacts the uttermost; itdemands the best, with the least wasteof time. Do your work thoroughly andtromptly, present it with few words;earn the customs of the calling you en-

ter, and conform to t. m ; or if you donot like them try something else. Butdo not attempt to change them—ateast by pleading.

This is the way to success. Those ofour sisters who have learned it are too

busy, and too profitably engaged, tomake much noise about it; they have.heir hands full, for there is abundance•f room in the world for first rate work-irs; for machines that are prompt andegular, that turn out good work, and

are never indisposed. Try to rememberwhen you engage in business, when yountar the labor market, you necessarily

some in competition with men. Men arelaves; they must work; for they haveamiliea to support, or fortunes to make,r enterprises to advance; and they do-

not expect to marry. This is to say,marriage will only compel them to workmore persistently, and force them to bomore prompt, more acourate, more regu-ar. These men, these slaves under theash of all kinds of neceasities, you haveor opponents; they cannot give place toou if they would, for they are in theabor market just as you are. If theywork harder, better, and for more hourshan you do, they will beat you ; andour sex cannot help you.One man succeeds beyond another

ust in this way. It is not luck, it isot good friends—for though friendship

may push a man along, it cannot keepim from falling back. It is hard

work, unmitigated, unceasing, thorough ;t is because A works harder, and beter, and longer than Z, that he stands atbe top, while Z grumbles at the bottomf the ladder.

You cannot eat your eake and havet ; try to get that homely proverb byeart, and you will have dono much foruccess. Ia another and more com-ortable world this will doubtless behanged, and we shall all rejoice. Butn this world, which revolves onoe inwenty-four hours on its axis, and cir-umnavigates the sun once in a year,verytbing is fixed, regular, undevia-ng; and most things are unpleasant,nd the opposite of what reasonable andnd sensiblo beings would like them to

Finally, if you get a good offer,marry. Thus you will exchange manymasters for one; and if you have theoast tact you will presently ba tho mat-

ter of that one, without his in the lesuspecting it. There are, on the wholefew things a woman can do so woll amarry. Possibly this is becauso hesex have been for so many thousaniyears trained to that: possibly it may bbeoause this is, after all, her true calling; but, howovor that may be, it is certain that, as society is now constitutedand will for some time to come remainit is the calling in which a woman othe whole has the greatest promise osuccess.—iV. T. Evening Pott.

A Lesson to a King.An ancient Persian fabulist tells th

Btory of a king who, having hanged higeneral because he had lout a battle, resolved, in his rage, to kill the widow ancchildren of the unfortunate offioer alsoThe whole country was in distress because of this cruel and unjust resolutionand numerous petitions were sent in.But all this was in vain. The despobecame all the more implacable as hisense of humanity was appealed to.

One day the king's Chief Counselothrew himself at the feet of his masterand asked for justice. Ho was aocompanied by his daughter, a woman of unparalleled beauty.

"Ruler of tho world," be said, "yourphysician, seeing that my daughter surpasses his daughter in beauty, as the sunsurpasses the moon in glury, has, in a fiof jealousy, deformed my child l>ythrowing a caustic fluid over her face.'

_ Having said theso words, he unveih-cihis daughter's face. Ao ugly black spowas exposed, which terribly dbfiguredthe otherwise beautiful countenance olthe poor girl.

The king, roused to anger by the•ight, immediately sent for tho physieian.

"Why have you done this to the woman ?" ho asked.

The physician ga?o no reply."By the sun and all his hosts," cried

the king, "with thy head shalt thou payfor this offense."

He beokoned to the Captain of theguard, who at once stepped forward toexeoute the verdict. But the physicianproduced a sponge from his bosom, and,dipping it in a pail of water, with one•troke thoroughly washed away the blackspot.

"What it this ?" asked the King."Ruler of the world," the counselor

knswered, "you have sentenced myTiend, the physician, to death becausele only disfigured a girl's faco by a stainwhich could be washed off easily; butwhat sentence wi'l the Etsrnal Judgelave to east upon you, if you cast sucha staia upon your conscience as you pur-)0 c—3 stain which all the water of theocean cannot wash away ?"

The King, deeply struck by the ques-tion, abandoned his cruel intention, andsent tbe widow and children of tho de-seased General home, enriched with to-cens of his prinoely munificence. '

A Narrow Gauge Railroad.It is quito encouraging to the new

settlements of this oountry, which arelanguishing for railroad facilities, that aoheap "narrow gauge" line has been suc-cessful in Great Britain. The Portmad'oc and Festiniog railway, in Wales, thewidth of whoso gauge ia only 24 inches,has fulfilled all the requirements of arailway in the section through which itruns, and is paying a larger dividend onits capital stock than any other railwaylino in th& world. Tho track is laid with-very heavy T-rails, and the locomotivenamed "The Littlo wonder," weighs butfive tons. Its structure is peculiar, theparts iu immediate relation with thowheels to drivo them being arranged be-tween the samo.

The following sketch of tho capabili-ties of the engine, etc., is taken fromthe London Times :

'"The Little Wonder' is an eightwheeled double bogie engine of fourcylinders 8 3-16 inches in diameter, witha stroke of 13 inches. The diameter ofits wheel is 3 feet 4 inches; its averagesteam pressure is 150 lbs ; its weight is19>£ tons ; its to a length is 27 feet;its total wheel base is 1\) feet, aad thewheel-base of each bogie, which practi-cally h is alone to bo considered, is 5feet. This engine was first of all madeto carry from Portmadoo to Festiniog atrain made up of 90 slate wagons, weigl-ing blYz tons; 7 passenger carriagesand vans, weighing 133i tons; and 57passengers, weighing 4 tons—in all 75tons. Add to this its own weight, andwe have a total load of 94Ja tons. Theweight, it will be seen was considerable,,if we take into account the size ot the--engine, the narrowness of tho gauge, the.steepness of the gradients, and thesharpness and multitude of the curve*.

"But the chief point of interest inthis experiment had reference to thelength t»f the train, which was 854 feet,nearly the sixth part of a mile. A trainof such length on such a line had oftento ruu upou two or three reverse curvessome of them with a radius as short a»one ami three-quarter cha:ns; and it socurled and doubled upon itself as itwound among the Welsli hills that thepassengers in the front carriages, whilesitting iu their seats, could make signalsto the hindmost oue?. The engine, be-ing in full goar, took thia very long trainup the bills and in and out iimong thecurves at an average speed of 14li milesan hour, and at a maximum speed of26K miles an hour. Let us here add,that some days afterward a similar trainof 140 empty and seven loaded wagons,weighing in all 101 tons, aud measuringia length 1323 feet,—that is, a quarterof a mile; a train so long, in fact, thatthere were parts of the road on whiohit had to run on no fewer than five re-verse curves,—was by the samo enginehauled up the hills at an average speedof 123s miles, and a maximum of 1G>£.

"Now, what was tha result observedin wriggling along these curves? I t

is generally observed that, even oncurves of oue and three-quarters ohaius1

radius, and at maximum . speed, ther«was very little perceptible oscilation ormovement on the engine or in the car-riages, iiud by no means such as is felton comparatively easy curves on ordina-ry railways. Nor mu., this remarkablepoint be forgotten,—a fact almost in-credible, but yet certified by competentwitnesses,—that oscilation diminished asthe speed increased. The speed, let itbe added, is naturally less jon a narrowgaugo than on a broad one.

"Captain Tyler, the Government In-spector of Railways, was at first sodoubtful of the safety of a high speedou a railway of such narrow gauge andsuch wild curves as that at Festioiog,shat he insisted on limiting the company;o a maximum speed of twelve miles aulour. Sinco then, however, his doubtslave been s) completely dispersed thate has removed all restriction as to the

rate ol speed ; and, as a matter of fact,The Little Wonder,' when necessarywurks up to 35 miles an hour."

From tlie Sew York Evcntnj PoBt.Americans In Egypt.

The present ruler of Egypt is pursu-ng the far-reaching policy of Mehemet

Ali, in extending his resources and mak-ng stronger hie means of defense. Look-ng to a total dismemberment of the vice

royalty of Egypt from the Ottoman rulole seeks, first of all, to put his army in

state of efficiency. With this view hoias, it seems, invited to his service manymilitary men who were prominent onlither side cf the civil conflict in theJnited States,

The command in-chief has, it is asser-,od, been «iven to Gen. Charles P.Stone, late the Federal army, whileGen. W. W. Loriog, late of the rebelarmy, has command of a division, and3apt. Beverly Kennon, well-known forlie gc'lantry in tho naval conflicts be-ow Now Orleans as the commander of arebel ironclad, is engaged upon thecoast defenses. Many others, amongwhom are Gens.

Homer Morgan, formerly ofhe Fourth United States Iufantry, have

actually gone or are about going toSgypt to take positions in the Viceroy's

army.Theso appointments derive an imme-

diate interest from the fact that tbeigns portend a war at no distant day>etween Turkey and Egypt. It will>o recollected that nothing but the in-erforence of the European powers pre-

Washington, Juno iM.The Democratic Senators ami mem-

bers of Congress, at it caucus held lastuight, agreed upon an address, whichwas to-day signed by cloven Senatorsand sixty-thice Representatives.Ti oxtr l\Uov: Citizens of'the United Stales,

Friends' of Constitutional, Economical,and Honest Government:"?be undersigned beg lea"ve to call your

attention to the peculiar importance ofthe elections which take placu this year,•nd respectfully to submit eome sug-

f sstions for your consideration. By thelate Legislatures to bo elected nearly

one-third of the Uuited States Senatewill'be chosen. Nearly all tho membersof" the nest House of Representativesare to be elected next fall. Upon thecoming elections, then, depends thequestion whether the Democratic andUonservalive element in the Senate shallbe increased, and whether that elementshall have a majority in tho House ofRepresentative?, and, aa a consequence,whether wo shall have a constitutional,economical, and honest government, or acontinuance of revolutionary, extrava-gant, and wasteful and partisan rule;whether wo fcliall have general, uniform,just, and constitutional legislation, withreasonable taxation and frugal expondi-tore, or unconstitutional, partial, unjustclass legislation, with oppressive and un-equal taxation and wasteful expendi-ture.

That wo have strong reasons to hopefor a favorable result is plainly apparent.The elections already held clearly showthat the tide of reform has set in with• power that cannot be resisted if noblunders be committed by the friend.-*of reform. If they do their duty andact wisely; if they throw ofl all apathyand act with vigor and steadfifstnefs,there is every reason to hope that theirefforts will be rewarded by success. Letthere be no dissensions about minor mut-ters, no time lost in the discussion ofdead issues, no manifestation of narrowor proscriptive feeling, no sacrifico of thecause to gratify personal ambition or re-sentment, and let the best men be cho-sen for candidates ; and we may hope tosee our country redeemed from misrule.

And in this connection we beg leaveto say a Trord to our fellow-citizens oftbe Southern States. Do not risk theToss of Senators or- Representatives byelecting men who cannot take the testoath, or who are under the disability im-posed by the fourteenth amendment,whatever may be said as to the validityof that amendment or tho test act, youmay rest assured that Senators electedby the vote of members of the Legisla-tures who are held by the Radicals tobe thus disqualified will also be exclud-ed. It is the plainest dictate of practi-cal wisdom nor to incur any such risks.We hope soon to see the day when alldisabilities will be removed ; but in thomeantime do not, wo entreat you, losethe opportunity to strengthen tho .Dem-ocratic and Conservative force iu Con-gress, and the possibility, nay, prob-ability of obtaining a majority in thenext House of Representatives, byputting it in the power ofour adversa-ries to overthrow or disregard your elec-tions.

The Currency Bill—Conference Report.Representalive Oai field submitted to

the Houeo on Monday, the report of theCommittee of Conference on the Cur-rency Bill. Tho bill provides for theissue of §45,000,000 national bank notesto banks, in addition to the §300,000,-000 authorizad by the aot of 18C4, theamount BO provided to be furnishedbanking associations in States and Ter-ritories having less than their apportion-ment, as contemplated iu the apportion-ment act of 1865. The securities forsuch circulation, deposited with the treas-orer of the United States, shall be anydescription of bonds of the UnitedStates bearing coin interest. Applica-tions for this circulation shall be ^a dewithin one year after the passage of this•ct, and the comptroller shall issue tothe banks making application, givingpreference to those States and territo-ries having the greatest deficiencies. Notank organized under this act shall havea circulation exceeding 8500,000. Anew account of the increased circulation•ball be made as soon as practicable,based upon the census of 1870. Thecomptroller at tbe end of each month isrequired to report to the Secretary ofthe Treasury the amount of circulatingnotes issued during the previous month,whereupon the Secretary of the Treasu-ry shall redeem and cancel a liko amountof three-per cent, certificates issued un-der the acts of March 2,1867, and Ju-ly 25,1868, by giving notice to holdersthereof that interest shall cease aftertbe day designated in the notice, andthat said certificates shall no longer beavailable as banking reserves. Uponthe deposit of any gold interest bearingbonds in the treasury of the UnitedStates in the manner prescribed in thenineteenth and twentieth sections of theNational Currency act, it shall be law-ful for the comptroller to issue to thebauk making the deposit circulatingnotes- of different denominations, notless than five dollars and not exceedingin amount eighty per cent, of the parvalue of the bonds deposited, whiclinotes shall bear upon their face thepromise of the apsociaiion to which theyare issued to pay upon presentation atthe office of the association in gold coinof the United States and shall be re-deemable upon such presentation iu suchcoin. The capital of any such bankingassociation is limited to $1,000,000.—Banks organized undur the precedingsections are required to keep ou hand,at all timea, not less than twenty fiveper cent, of their circulation in coin,and shall receive at par in payment oldebts the. gold notes of every other suchbank which is at the time redeeming itsnotes itt coin. The limit of circulationto $300,000,000 in tho Currency act,and the requirement that banks iu SanFrancisco must redeem notes at par inNew York, are removed. The termlawful money in the Currency act isapplicable to banks. Those organizedon a gold basis shall be construed tomean gold coin of the Uuited States.—Th.e bill further provides for the with-drawal from banking associations hav-spg a circulation exceeding that contem-p'ated in the act of March 3d, 1865, of825,000,000. This emulation is to bewithdrawn, commencing with banksbaviug a, circulation exceeding $1,000,-000 iu Stales having an excess of circu-lation, and reducing tho circulation ofsuch banks having the greatest propor-tion iu i;xc»ss, leaving undisturbed thebanks in States having a smaller propor-tion, uutil those in greater excess havebeen reduced to the sumo grade, andcontinuing thus to wsike ceduotions pro-vided fur by this act until the fullamount of $125,000,000, shall bewithdrawn and the circulation so with-drawn bo distributed among States andTerritories having loss than their pro-portion. Provision is made, wherebanks f;iil to return the circulation re-quired within oue year, for the sale of

The recent decision of the SupremeCourt of Michigan declared null andvoid tho municipal votes whereby sun-dry counties, cities and townships inthat State have, during many years past,attempted to loan the public credit torailroads. This "loan" consisted in theissue of municipal bonds for tho pur-poses set iorth in the vote ; and thc-sobonds are declared, by this decision, tobo worthies?, and not to be legally a lionupon the people who issued them.

Tho decision has made a tremendousexcitement throughout the State, wher-ever tho lines of tho unfinished railroadsrun.

WEEK.

The exercises usual to CommencementWeek at the University hr.ve made ademand upon tho timo of our citizens,as upon their hospitality, this week.—These exercises were inaugurated onSabbath afternoon last, by the

BACCALAUREATE ADDRKSS.

This address was prepared by BetingPresident FIUK/.K, but owing to an un-fortunato accident which coufined him tohis room for several days, it was read byProf. WINCBBLL. I t was a well di-gested address, and was full of ir.struc-tion for the young1 men for whoso espec-ial benefit it was prepared.

THE I.ITfillAKY SOCIETIES.

The annual idiross boforo tha Lite-rary Societies was delivered on Mondayevening, by Rev. ROUERT COLLYKR, ofChioago. Jlia subject was "The Hu-man Life of Washington." He thoughtthat we were fast losing sight of thereal WASHINGTON, and therefore proposedto revive the memory of him as boyand man. It was an entertaining andinstructive effort.

— We should say that, iu opening,Mr. COLLYKH administered a severe butju^t rebuke to "the boys" who had in-vited him to address them and then notcome to hear him. He proposed to writeto the "next man," and let him knowthat the meanest trick had been servedon him hero in Ann Arbor that he hadbeen tho victim of since he became apreacher.

THE ALUMNI SOCIETY.

The Society of Alumni held its annualmeotiug in the old chapel, at 3 o'olookr. U., on Tuesday. I t was tho largestgathering of Alumni we have ever seen,quite a number of the older classes be-ing represented.

The Society was called to order bythe President, S. P . DUPFIEID , of

Detroit, and the minutes of the last meet-ing read by the Secretary, J . Q. A .SessioNS.

Mr. T. R. CHASE', of Cleveland, Ohio,the Necrologist of the Society, read bisannual report, which was very brief, recording but a death or two during theyear, with several in former years, ofwhich he was not advised at tho timo ofmaking Lis very full report last year.We give tho list :Thos.

On motion, the President was appointed to respond, at tbe University Dinnerto-morrow, to the toast to "The Alumni.'

Mr. ELLIOTT spoke of the pleasure hehad derived in reading the TJuitertityChronicle, of the value of such a publication in keoping fres'i old memories, &r.(offered a resolution commending it tothe support of the Alumni, which wasadopted.

Rev. MARCUS L A N E , of Flint , offereethe following :

Resolted, That a committee of five be appointed to take the subject into conslderution, and prepare a memorial to the Legislature requesting theni fo so change theorganic law ol the University as to givethe alumni a share in tne management o

ars by a proper representation in theBoard of Hegents, and to lay the same before the Legislature at its next regular ses-sion.

The resolution was discussed at lengthand with considerable zoal—though noneof the speakers were able to tell justhow the thing could be done—by MessrsC. B. Grant, M. H. Goodrich, EdwinWillots, Dwight May, G. P. SanfordR.E. Frazer, B. M. Cutcheon, G. P.Tindull, and II. A. Burt, and, on motionof Mr. MAY, was laid on tho table.

A communication was received fromActing President FRIEZE, inviting theAlumni to join in the exercises of to-morrow, the University dionor included,which invitation was acoeptod.

Gen. 15. M, Cutcheon offered the fol-lowing, which was adopted:

Iteseked, That we, as A'tumni of the Uni-versity, express our thanks to the actingpresident and the Board of Regents, fortlitir liberal provision for the Alumni atthis Commencement, and their ettbrts tobring us, as Alumni, into renewed andclose relation to our Alma Mater.

Mr. TINDALL offered tho followingresolution :

Whereas, The Legislature of the State ofMichigan, at its last session gave to the

rsity an unconditional annual grantof $15,000, therefore,

llesohed. That the thanks of the Societyof Alumni be, and are hereby tendered tothe Legislature for the additional endow-ment, given to our Alma Mater, u gift need-ed by the Institution In order to aid the.development of that remarkable progressol which its past history lias given suchsignal promise.

Which was adopted.The Society of Alumni then, on mo-

tion, adjourned sine die.Till: ALUMNI OUATION AND POEM.

The annual oration and poem beforetho Society of Alumni were delivered inthe M. E. Churoh, on Tuesday evening,a large audience being gathored despitethe sweltering heat.

The orator of the evening was Hon.A. S. WELCH, of tho class of 1846,President of tho Iowa State Agricultur-al College. Mr. WELCU discussed clear-ly and ably, but too much at length for6uch an occasion and in Buch a heated

atmosphere, the comparative value of IheClassics and tho Natural Sciences, bothas systems of Mental Gymnastics and asfitting tho student for his life work.Reasoniug both deductively and analytic-ally, ho reached the conclusion that thestudy of tho Natural Sciences wouldmore fully and harmoniously developtho faculties of tho mind than tho ac-cepted classical currioulum. Ho saidnot a word against the study of Latinand Greek, but thought that an unduepropoi tion of timo was given them incollege courses, We cannot givo nsynopsis of tho address.

The poet of tho evoning was RevQuo. S. HICKBY, of the class of 18G8.Ho opened with tho gratifying annonco-ment that he should give his hearers avery brief piece of blank verse. Thebrevity was not over-apparent, but theverse was of tho very blank-est order,and might readily have passed, inthought and construction, for slightly ani-mated prose, had it not been announcedas a poem. Tho subject was Faith,and a good Methodist brother sittingin our rear remarked that "GEOROK hadmade a little mistake, and had re-hashedand given us one of his sermon*, begin-ning each lino with a capital." We en-dorse tho criticism RB coming from afriendly source. The subject was notexactly the thing for tho oocasion, andwas not poetically treated.

COMMENCEMENT,

The Commencement exercises vrercset down for Wednesday, on which oc-casion, as usual, there was hot weatherand a great crowd, the M. E. Churchbeing filled to suffocation. The oxer-cises commenced at 10 o'clock A. M.,the procession having been formed hallan hour before in the campus. Actiug-President FRIKZE presided, and was sup-ported on the platform by the regulararray of officials and dignitaries.

Our reporter is not disposed to criti-cise the speakers individually, and willeave that task to tho dailies. As iwhole, the essays wero well written ancconservative in tone—the latter being an unusual feature on such occasionsThere was not a single tirade about tliwar and its issues, dead rebels or living"copperhoads," woman's rights and thballot, or the other "live" issues whiclyoung men have been so wont to rideIn delivery there seemed a lack—wit!twotir three exceptions—of spirit ancanimation, a want of action, with a quitegeneral holding of the speakers' handbehind them. This was, perhaps, inpart, attributable to the uncomfortableand heated atmosphere and in part to thsubjects discussed, which required amreceived argumentative rather thandeclamatory treatment. Let this sufficefor our purpose.

At tho conclusirn of the speakingActing-President FRIEZE, by the authority vested in him by the Board" of Regents, nir.di tbe large class—the largesuver graduated in the Literary Departmeut—happy, by presenting to eachmember the diploma to which he wasentitled, and conferring upon him thecorresponding degree.

TIIK OOMMENCEMJSKT DINNER.

The first University dinner was servecat 2 o'clock p. M., iu the Law LectureRoom. Over 450 persons, Regents, E xRegents, Faculties, invited guests, amAlumni—tho latter numbering ful300—sat down at the well-filled tablesGrace was said by the Rev. Dr. PlTElDof Detroit. After satisfying the physical man, and doing justice to tho substantials and luxuries provided by thapopular caterer, GKOROB D E BAPTISTH

of Detroit, came what comes after ovtryAmerican dinner,—and we don't knowbut after every such dinner the worl<over—what is known as "tho feast Oreason and the flow of soul," or in otherworda the talk.

Acting-President FRIEZE, in a briebut happy speech, welcomed the Alumnand invited gucats to the festive boardHe had looked forward for years to anoccasion of this kind, to the time whenfollowing the old-time custom of Yaland Harvard, the children of the Univereity of Michigan might come from faand near and sit down at her hospitabltables. l i e hoped that the feast nowinaugurated would be an annual oneand he believed that it would be productivc of good, that it would perpetuato the love of Alma Mater and give newlife, vigor, and strength.

Following the remarks of Prof FRIEZEthe Regular Toasts wero announced b)Regent WALKKR-, HS follows :

1. The State of Michigan, whose wislegislation has given the University its orfjanie /.//•;/<, and has lately begun to give i

•ui-.c. May she next give us the mudneeded chapel in which we may offer thmuch needed prayers for the Governor amLegislature.

Response by Gov. BAUJWHT, who confessed to a feeling of pride whenever thState of Michigan \v:is named. But flftjyears ago little known, and wherever heanof considered a vast lnoiass. To-day notefor its thrifty, enterprising, and lntelllgenpopulation, lor its system of cdticatioischools, colleges, and its crowning glor;the University, Such Is the State in whiche had a just pride. lie could not promisthe chapel suggested by the sentiment, buhe felt authorized to say that the Legislalure would do liberally by the Universityand that it would not be permitted to sufor for want of sustenance.

2. Our Educational SyBtem: the glorol the State. Honor to its founders.

Response by Hon. JOUK D. PIERCE, firsSuperintendent of Public Instruction. IIwas on these grounds when the bear anwolf seldom heard the crack of the whitman's rifle; was with the Regents in 183when they located this University; wahere at the first Commencement, twentyfive years ago ; had been present at everCommencement since, and shall be preseiat every Commencement so long as lite anhealth Will permit, lie paid a handsomtribute to Gen. CHARY and the other founters of the University and the PrlmarSchool system, and gave some interestinstatistics. He concluded by urging thAlumni to make annual or regular pilgrimages to Ahna Mater, commended elasanniversaries, and urged a personal alteidance of every member or a written repoito the Class Secretary. His remarks vv;rreceived with great applause.

3. The Ex-Regents. May the child thenursed SO diligently prove in its maturitthe wisdom of their training.

Ex> Regent J. M. B. SILL, of Detroit, bItfg called on for a response, protested, anvery properly, that a mistake had beemade. He was the very youngest of thEx-Regents, did not look much likennrslng father, and felt that lie occupiean absurd position. In short, lie had aways looked up to the University, and noupon it as one of his children, and havinonly this day been proclaimed Its youngest adopted son, he could not consent tplay the role of patriarch.

Rev. G. L. FOSTEH, a somewhat oldeRegent—of 1850—was called on, and prototed that he a:sodidn't look much like"nursing fatlier." However he had knowithe University sin'ce it was a sproutThough not one of the earliest Regents, )iwas appointed when so green that he waashamed to be known as a licgent. HIremarks were in his usual humorous veinand brought down the house.

4. Our friends of the Dominion. Let u,have rtciprocity, at least in letters, scienceand Christian fellowship.

The Very Rev. Dean IIF.I.LMUTII, ofLondon, Out., responded. It afforded him sincere pleasure to be here to-day. The pro

ress of the University, as it had been detaiied to him, as he had verified by an ins;.eet ion of the records without which hishould have been incredulous, and as exhibited in this gathering, was unprecedenled JUKI wonderful Familiar for man;years with the Universities of Europe, hiknew no parallel. A? to reciprocity, it litunderstood tho reference, ho was heartilyin favor of i t , ' " as well as iisocial, educational and religious circlesand believed that the world would be bet-ter If reciprocity was the prevailing rule.

5. The officers of the Army, and WestPoint their tor, whose admirablediscipline has rendered them equally effi-cient in the arts of war and peace.

MaJ. Gen. ST. GEORGE P. COOK, comman-

der o! the J I ol ! he Lakes, respon-led briefly, but we were unable to get the«nor of his remarks. He closed with asentiment complimentary to the Universi-

8. The Medical Profession: Though wenake wry faces at their prescriptions, wawill strive to have faith that they are bleas-ngs in disguise.

Prof. Ki-.iv/u--,, of the Agricultural College responded, je t declined to make aspeech.

9. Our Alumni: At once our pride andour dependence.

He spokethe satisfaction of the Alumni in respond-ing to this home call and proclaimed per-petual love an<l allegiance.

10. Our roll of Honor: Alma Mater,grieves that she has no monument to her(alien sons.

Qen. B. II. CUTOHEON responded eloquent-ly and feelingly. Ol 2,500 graduates, overCOO entered the army, of whom about sixper cent, fell in battle or by disease. Hepaid a fitting tribute to the dead, giving agoodly number of well-known names, andlaid that they had a monument iiithecoun.

try they helped to save, and that theirmemory would be sacredly cherished bytheir brothers.

Thus closed the toasts for the clay.The Glee Club responded to calls for

songs between speeches, and the exerciseswere closed by singing the HundredthPsalm—old version:All people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.Him serve with mirth, bis praise forth tell,

Come ye before him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is good indeed :Without our aid lie did us make:

We are his Hook, he doth us feed,And for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise,Approach with joy his court unto ;

Praise, laud, and bless his name always,For it is seemly so to do.

For why ? the Lord our Good is good,His mercy is forever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,And shall from age to age endure.After which the benediction was pro-

nounced by Rev. G. D. GILLESPIE, the parting words were said, and dispersion inorder. All expressed satisfaction, and boretestimony that the authorities of the Uni.vereity had made a happy hi t :

The Railroad Again.The following letter, though not writ

ten for publication, is of such interest-to our citizens that we givo it a promi-nent place in our columns, and inviteboth a careful cousiderrtion of, andprompt action upon, its suggestions.

Toledo, O., June 29,1870.E. B. POND. Esq.,

Editor AROUS:Last evening the Common Council of

the city of Toledo ratified the appropri-ation of 9400,000 to the new railroadenterprise. This will secure the AnnArbor road, conditioned only that yourpeople make up the $250,000 subscrip-tion as per agreement made with someof your citizens and Mr. Conant. Whenthis subscription is made up Mr. Co-nant would like to consolidate the Balti-more & Ohio, Toledo & Michigan Rail-road extending from Lexington via Tif-fin and Toledo to Michigan rState linewith your Toledo, Ann Arbor andNorthern road. You will porceive thaton tho whole lino of tbe road from Lex-ington to Ann Arbor the local aid hasbeen arranged for with the exception oftho aid to be furnished by your city. I tis desirable to Jkncw what Ann Arborwill do as early as possible. Do not al-low your peoplo to "think that the roadwill be sure to come in any event. Nomistake could be so great. We, of To-ledo, have tried that method for fouryears, and have continually failed. Wehave now gone in with our whole pile,and in that way only hope to succeed.If your goodly city will do likewise iniding your committee to comply withtheir promise, Toledo and Ann Arbormay within one year from this time beuuited with the iron rail.

The line sMitb of Toledo will imme-diately bo put under contract. Mr.Conant intends to have the entire roadbed prepared before next January fromToledo to Lexington. The same willlie done to Ann Arbor if your peoplewill move in the matter. IS'ow, it seemsto me, is their golden opportunity. Itake the liberty of addressing you be-cause of the many kind words you haveheretofore said on the subject.

Yours, very respectfully,A. E . MACOMBER,

We need add no words, as withoutthem every citizen must tea that promptaction is necessary. Loose subscriptionpapers are not available. §250,000 ac-tual slock subscriptions must be made,and that immediately.

The Benefits of Railroads.Nothing is more certain than that any

railroad which increases the ease andcheapness of exchanging the productionsof different parts of the country witheach other, aud opens better markets isa great benefit to all along its route,—and this is as true of subsequent rail-roads as of the first. Every additionalfacility afforded to travel amd tradegreatly helps all within its influence.—Railroads and canals, in the first in-stance, directly help farmers and all pro-duoers who receive or send away arti-cles, by them ; for, producers must de-duct the expenses of getting their pro-duce marketed, (including their com-missions and profits,) from the marketprice, or somo purchaser must lose.—Whatever tends to decrease this expenseof transporting from or to any place,vheat, wool, merchandise, lumber, or

any other article, increases the business,and causes competition at such placeamong purchasers or dealers in tho arti-

le, aud^thereby tends to docreafe thenargin or percentage of tho dealer'srolits to a reasonable amount; and theirmer or producer is a double gainer,olh in his sales and purchases, whilehe nonproducers pay to tho farmer thencreased price on tho produce they buy,nd only share in the great indirect ad-antages accruing aliko to all from theeneral benefit. These indirect benefitsavo beoome so certain and well under-,ood, that as soon as a railroad islought probablo persons arc auxioua to

The gold market is firmer to-dav than it has beeifor some time paat. To-day it opened at III, ad.vanced to 112^, and closed lll!4-@ni%. Govern-ment securities are strong, more active, and higher.The activity is probably due to the circulation of ireport that the conference enrrency bill will be de-feated by the Honse at Washington. The stock mar-ket is also qaite active, and bnsinesa larger thinduring the past few days. The flour market is dulland lower, and has retained a downward tendencjdaring the weak. The excessive hot weather andweak demand tend to render the market sleepy anddragging. We quote superfine stste and western it5.10@5 30 ; extra do. 6.45<§)5.80; Ohio, B."C@6;0;extra St Louis 5.90&T.00. At tke close the marketnoted 5@10c lower. The demand for Rye flour isiflmde better, at 4.(10(35 90. The wheat market hualso been on the decline, and to-day sales are 3Q4cmore than yesterday, but a decline from rates lastreported. We qnote : Rejected spring at 1.10 ; No.2 Chicago, 1.2301 24j Ho. 2 Milwaukee, 1.25@1.2S>winter red and amber western 1.40. The corn mir-ket is dull, but retains its usual rates, the sales to-day having been made at 90@9Sc for new mindwestern. Hops aro firmer, but not very active it

. Hay is steady at old rates. The provisionmarket is dull and lower, liaring fallen littlo fromthe old ruling prices. We quote mess pork at WM@29.T5, the latter being strictly an outside figure-Batter Is quiet at 14®2Sc for western, and chees« isdull at 7@14,S,'c.

BETEOIT, June Mth.Business here is stagnated. The weather is to'

warm during the middle of the day the streets lookbare ana blistering. The flour market is almostwholly neglected, but the small amount of stock hasa tendency to keep up prices. We quote fancy whitewheat brands at 7.50; choice do. at C.75@7M; me-dium do. 5.75@G.7r>; amber, 5.75@O5O; low gradesto Buperflnc 4.50<S>5.a5 ; liye 5.0!)@5.50. There ia»marked change in the wheat market sinec our lartletter, extra hav'inc fallen oft 10c. To day there is >f.iir demand at ruling rates, but withal the market isnot active. Sellers are now acxions to close out oldstocks, and in view of that, in some instances ealeiwere more forced than otherwise at low figures. Theonconraging condition of the crops also has a t«i-ikucy to hasten sales. We quote extra at 1.52al53:No. l white at 1.43al.44; Regular, 133, and amber1.30. Potatoes have declined almost as rapidly uthey went up, and are iu vary little demand. KRJIhave also fallen off some since our last report, andare now offered at 17alSc.

W OOL.The wool market has been quite active for the put

few days iu different parts of the State, and 40ciinow the HPttled rate for good clean wool, thouizh insome instances a fraction more has been paid. Fir-mersseem to be well satisfied with that figure, andthe desire to get rid of their clip so as to attend toharvest in connection with the favorable weather formarketing has giviven the market quite an enconnailing aspect for the past week.

Boston Wool Market.BOSTON, June 24.

The receipts of wool for the week havebeen 3,706 bales, against 3,722 bales for thecorresponding week last year. The saltsfor the week comprise 700.0U0 lbs. of do-mestic, aud o07 bales of Cape and .Mediter-ranean.

There lias been some Inquiry for oldfleece daring the week, and desirable lotscould have been sol'd at some advance onrecent quotations, but this fact can hardlybe regarded as evidence of a firmer tonegenerally, but it is due rather to the scarci-ty of certain grades that one or two buy-ers chanced to need at this particular time. 'California wool is attracting some atten-tion from buyers, but the stock of westernfleece is so light as to excite but little inter-est among manufacturers, some of whomare purchasing a moderate supply in thewool growing sectious. There have beensales of small lots of Ohio and westernfleece, but hardly enough to furnish a basisfor reliable quotations. Our advices fromthe country indicate that in Michigan buy-ers are paying 3S@40c for sood lots, and inOhio from 40c up to 45c. The sales of XXand X fleece in this market have been smalland range from 42@48c for western X;44@45c for Michigan X ; 45@47'£c for(•hlo X, the latter price for a choice lot ornew. Medium and coarse wools have soldat 25@S5c for spring clip, and the sales ofpulled wool range from 87>6<5)44c for west-ern and country supers, and 4T>.< for aneastern do. Extra pulled ranged from 40®Mic for country and Rochester.—Boste*Advertiser.

From Hall's Health Tracts.Cariosities of Breathing.

The taller men are, other things being equal, the more lungs they have, amthe greater number of cubio inches of aithey can take in or deliver at a singlbreath. It ia thought that a man'slungs are sound and well developed, inproportion to his girth around the chest;yet observation shows that slim men aa rule will run faster and farther, withless fatigue, haviug "more wind," thanstout men. If two persons are taken inall respects alike, except that onameasures twelve inches more around thecheat than the other, the one having thexcess will not deliver more air at onefull breath, by mathematical measure-ment, than the other.

The more air a man reoeives into hislungs in ordinary breathing, the morehoaltliy he is likely to be; because animportant object io breathing is to re-move impurities from the blood. Eaolibreath is drawn pure into the lungs; onits outgoing the next instant, it ia so im-pure, so perfectly destitute of nourish-ment, that, if rebreathed without anyadmixture of pure atmosphere, the manwould die. Hence, one of the conditionsneceesary lo secure a high state o:health is, that tbe roonis in which wesleep should be constantly receiving newsupplies of fresh air through open doors,windows, or fire-places.

If a person's lungs are not welldeveloped, tho health will be imperfectbut the development may be increasedseveral inches in a few months, by dailyout-door runnings with the mouth closod, beginning with twenty yards ancback, at a time, increasing ten yardsevery week until a hundred are goneover, thrice a day. A substitute forladies and persons in cities, is runningup stairs with the mouth olosed, whichcompels very deep inspirations, in anatural way, at the end of the journoy

As consumptive people are decliningeach week is a witness to their inabilityto deliver as much air at a single out-breathing as the week before ; hence thebest way to keep tho fell diseas9 at bayis to maintain lung development.

It is known that in large towns, tenthousand feet above tho level of the seathe deaths by consumption are ten timesless than in places nearly on a level withthe sea. Twenty-five persons die o:consumption in the city of New Yorkwhere only two die of that d:sease in thecity of Mexico. All know that consumption does not prevail in hilly coun-tries aod in high situations. One reason of this is, because there is more asoending exercise, increasing deep breath-ing; besides, the air being more rarifi-cd, larger quantities are instinctivelytaken into the lungs to answer the requirements of the system, thus at everybreath keeping up a high developmentHence the hills should bo Bought byconsumptives, and not low fiat eituations.

Early Bi eakfast.A bad custom is prevalent in man}

families, especially among farmers, oworking an hour or two before breakfast, hoeing in the garden, cutting woodmowing, etc. This is convenient onmany accounts, but it ia not conduciveto health. The prevalent opinion isthat the morning air is the purest andmost healthful and bracing, but thecontrary is the fact. At no hour of theday is the air more filled wih damp-ness, fogs and miasmas than about sun-rise. The heat of tho sun graduallydissipates tho miasmatic influences as theday advances. An early meal braces•up the system against tbeeo external in-fluences. Every ODO knows the languorand faintness often experienced for thefirst hour in the morning, and this is in-creased by exercise and want of food.We do not agroo with tho boardingschool regrime which prescribes a longwalk before broakfast ae a means of promoting health.

Probably the best custom would bo tofurnish every member of the familyeppeeially those who labor out of doors,with a single <iup of warm coffee, wellmilked, immediately after rising fromthe bed. Then let them attend to mow-ingi hoeing, &c, for an hour or two,while the teams ara feeding, and thebreakfast preparing. They -will feel bet-ter and do moro work.—American AgricuUuritt.

House-Painting Abomination."We visited, not long since, n pretty

little village in a neighboring State,which, in its local position and circum-stances, reminded us very much ofStratford upon Avon in England. Therewas the same broad sweep of greenfield?, the same graceful windings of ariver, and the same distant glimpses ofblue hills rising ia tho far horizon—butthe bouses ? Well, the most of themwere constructed in good taste, and werepleasantly set in their borders of foliageand flowers. The architects, the car-penters, and the gardeners had donetheir work with intelligence, »nd gener-ally with taste; but the painters, alas!seem never to have heard of any har-monious tints or folicitous blendings andcontrasts of coloring—of nothing, inshort, but an odious green and white.All tbe surfaces were a blinding white,and all the blinds and shutters a flagrantgreen—nothing more harsh, moro re-pulsive, more crude, more utterly atvariance with every dictate of good tastethan tho green and white boxes, whichpained tho eye to look at in the brighteuminer eun, and which filled the heart,not with a feeling of pleasure and repose,but with somewhat of uneasy indigna-tion. Why should the sweetest andloveliest of rural nooks be stained anddesecrated by thesa glaring daubs of in-congruous color? If the owners ofthem have not sufficient culture to selecteoaie gentle noutral tint, some tendergray, some cool brown, with tho noees-sary shadings in each ease, why do theynot consult a professional architect ofcompetent skill and judgment.—Fromi'utnatris Magatine for July.

A printer's devil, wanting to kiss bisBWeetUeart, addressed her as-follows:" Miss Lucy, can I have the pleasure ofplacing my ' impriDt' upon your bill ?"

THK CONDITIOH OF MORMON WOMB?Although the men are educated tho

oughly, especially upon points likely taffect the spread of their belief, the women aro left in utter and complete ignnrauce. In all the many houses, ereof the highest of tlie land, to which wafterward had access, we saw scarcelybook save those on Morraonism, annot a single paper or magazine. \Vspoke of the topics of the day bothhome and abroad, and met with cntirblackness: none of them had any ideof what we wero talking about. Thenbefore a girl has reached full womarhood, while her ideas aro still unformeand childish, sho is married, probablto a man old enough to bo her fatherTake any girl of fourteen or fifteen—which is the common marriageable agin Mormondom—oven an educated girand how able is sho to form opiuionand right judgments ? Then leave outhe education, and her abilities wisurely be at tho miuimuaj. So, by thesthreo lovers do Mormon men, wise itheir generation, act upon tho hearts othe women among them : First, by appealing to the religious element; ong in every womin; next, by keepiog her in ignorance of everything thumight show her the fallacy of the claimto superiority of the men ; and last'yby throwing upon childish shoulderburdens of care, and weights ol responsibility, under which mature womanhood must often faint. We are reminded of Him who pronounced woe of olupon thosa who "bind heavy burdensaud grievous to be borne," and laythem upon others' shoulders.

Plaster as a Fertilizer.A correspondent of the New Yor'

Tribune writes that about thirty yearago, his father had about throe acres inclover. About htlf was fresh lookingrank and large; tie other half vrashort, tawny yellow, with deiid an<punctured leaves. He could not remember any treatment of the land that woulthave made the difference; but afterwarrecollected tint three yoars previouslybe had corn there; when, having twothirds of a barrel of plaster left, he puit on as far as it would reach, aud thethree years after sowing, it, moro thadoubled the yield of clover. Pub?equently the adjoining field was iu cloveraud in a growiug time iu the month oJune, standing on a knoll about 20yards distant, every row where the corhad been plastered five yoars beforcould be distinctly traced. This provethat this cheapest of all fertilizers is thmost permanent in its effects upon thsoil.

According to his observation, plastedoes little or uo good before rain cometo dissolve it, or act on it in some wayWhen he was a boy, working on hifather's farm, there was a six acre fielof corn. This field had seldom beemanured.

They put on 1,500 pounds of plasteran old negro and the writer being employed to apply it to tho corn. Theworked until three o'clock in the afternoon, when there came on a heavyshower. Next day the job wasfinishedThis was early in the week. On Sundathe part of tho corn that had boen plastered before the shower, had turned dargreen, while the part that was finishesafter the shower was yellow and unalfected ; but as there, were soon morshowers, the whole became an equallgood crop. He mentions this last t<BIIOW the mistaken idea that plaster ibest in dry weather, on the theory of itsattracting moisture.

A Wholesome Field Drink.The excessive use of cold water dur

ing the sweltering heat of summer, oftenresults in serious and alarming illnessIt is, therefore, advisable that some beverage should be substituted for it, owhich those oppressed can partake withsafety. For this purpose I am awareof no better or more refreshing drinkthan the following: Take of the beslwhite Jamaica ginger root, carefulljsruised, two ounces; cream of tartarone ounce; water, six quarts; to besoiled about five minutes, then strainedto the strained liquor add one pound olsugar, and again place it over the firejeep it well stored till the sugar is per-fectly dissolved, and then pour it intoan earthen vefsel, into which you have)reviously put two drachms of tartaricicid, and the rind of one lemon, andet it remain till the beat is reduced t

a lukewarm temperature ; then add _tablespoonful of yea?t, stirring thornwell together, and bottle for uso. Thecorks must be well secured. The drinkwill be in high perfection in four or fivedays. This is a very refreshing andwholesome beverage, and one which may>e largely partaken of without any un->lehsant results even iu the hottestweather.— Oermantown Telegraph.

ToIseThree Horses Abreast.As it is becoming quite common to

use three horses now instead of two, pertaps it would be of advantage and taving to some of our young farmers toell them how to hitch up three horses,vith an equalizer that, instead of costng five dollars for a patent article, can>e made for a few cents. I take a piecef two by four, or two by five, scantlingnd bore first a hole near each end, aswould for a double tree ; but the

ieces need not be over nine to twelvenches long; then bore a hole one-thirdf tho length from one- end, and. two-birds of the length from the other end,nd attach the piece by a olevisand ringo the plow clevis, the longest end up ;hen hitch my middlo horse to the top,nd tho team to the bottom end, orbort end of the equalizer, using a longoublo tree for the team, long enougkor a horse to work in the middle. Bysing this simple device a saving can be

made of five dollars, and the equalizer is,claim, better than any other, for the

imple reason that it brings the teamcarer the nose of the plow beam, andonsequeutly nearer tho work.— Wett~rn Rural.

A youngster, after deep meditation,roko out to his father : " Pa ! I knowrhy colored peopl* have whito palms toicir hands and white soles to their feet.Vhen the first colored man was made, hetood on all fours while God was paint-ng him !"
