'l'imcs may be hard anl work scarce, but
there are people who seem to be able to
bowl along pretty gaily in the rush of old
time extravagance, and make the dollars
fly profusely. An instance in point was re-
lalcd to a Detroit reporter by a. lady who
had witnessed a curious scene in a fashionable
rrrlllinery establishment. ’I‘hislady had gone
in with the intention of purchasing a bonnet.
flaring made a‘choice of one costing $14, it

 

was being put up for her, when a lady, the.

wife of a merchant, and somewhat noted for

were

her pronounced costumes, entered on the

logucs of Virgil but could not read it,
and so purchased a Latin Grammar. DJy
by day, he studied this, and, finally, inns-
'tr:rcd all its intricacies. llis mistress came
béhind him one dayas he stood by the
horses ;waiting for her, and asked what he
was so intently reading. “Only a bit of
Virgil, my lady.” “What. do you read
Latin ?” “A little my lady." She men-
tioned this to her husband, who insisted

him. In a few .years he b;ca:ne a learntd
man, and was a useful and loved minister in
Scotland '

A Loy was hired to open and shut the
gates to let the teams out of an iron mine.
He sat fill a log all day by the side of the
gaic. Sometimes an hour would pass- be-
fore the teams came, and this he employ-
ed so, well that there, was scarcely any
fact in history that escaped his attention.
He began with a little book on English
history that he found in the road; having
learned that thoroughly, he borrowed of a
minister, Goldsmith’s History of Greece.
This good man became greatly interested
in him and loaned him books, and was
often seen sitting by him on the log cen-
vcrsiug 'with'. him about tlrc‘pcoplc of an-
cicrrt titncs. _

All of these show that in this country

that David should have a teac‘ier,to instruct ‘-

izlrmc errand.

The whole establishment was ransacked to
please her; bonhcts andhats from $20 to $50
were rcjcczed as “rather common,” “cheap

I material,” etc.~ Finally'thc the milli‘ner ex-
hibited, a bmnct the ekact counterpart 'of
that sold a few moments before for‘$14, and

‘ demanded $75 for~it as the most recherche
piece of head-gear in the establishment. On
this representation it was purchased at once,
paid for, and ordered sent home. ‘ When the
purchaser had gone the lady first mentioned

said to the millincr:

“How Could ‘you have the Conscience to
charge $75 for just such a bonnet as you lot
1110 have for $14 1’”

“Madame," replied the shrewd business
woman, “that lady has to bc‘cbarged five
prices, or she will not buy, and there area
r'inzcn like her whom I could name. Do
you know that she has such an idea of
extravagancerthat when she went, for once
in her life, to order some roast beef from a
leading butcher, in the Central market, and
the butcher said he could give a beautiful
cut for ten cents a pound, she snapped back,
“for. ought to know better than think we
can eat ten cent meat.’ ‘Oh!’ replied the
butcher, ‘tvc can give you some at eighteen,’
and he has ever: since supplied'the family
with meat at eighteen‘ccnts which other
people get at ten.” , ‘ , .

This is fact. It may be pleasing to remark
'u this connection that the husband of the
lady ol-tained a scttlemcntwith his creditors,
:1 couple of years'a'go, on very easy terms.

’f‘ira .MEETING or Tin-2 “ROYAL.”—Tilain-
t'lOSUl'e, about seventy acres in extent, cov-
ered a level stretch of the great common of
llr-istol—Durdhaxn Down—near the beautiful
suburb of Clifton. The temporary ofiices of
the society and the wooden ring fence had.
the same slight character with which we
are familiar at home. The, various sheds ‘
for implements, stock, ctc.‘, stretched Out in
parallel rows from each side of a bro:d
central avenue, and ran along nearly the
whole of the outer inelosure. They were
generally frame:- of light timber, covered
with Canvas. Interspersed 'among them
were tests and cheap wooden buildings for
judges and officers, for members of the
society, for restaurants, for drinking booths,
etc. Here and there were rings for the
examination of cattle. a larger one for ag-
lll‘lllflll‘lll horses, and a still larger onc,ewith
:. grand stand adjoining, for the examination
of pleasurb-horscs and ‘for the general ex-
.ilillion of live stock. The immediate im-'
gir'cssion was that ‘of a most orderly and.
tltlilfmlng gathering of the means and results
of a gigantic industry. '

We have in America no agricultural show
wile comparable with this one. The _St.
Louis Fair comes nearest to it, but it lacks
~illliC of its more impressive elements, and.
it adds very much Which has to do rathe"
.. 1r mechanics than with" agriculture, and

- =i-1picuous element of art "and domestic
a ..»?l‘)’, VWlllCll here is absent. The St._
- Fair would very fairly represent the,
.11 show it”, without: losing size, it
_ . up all collateral branches, and were
occupied entirely with what .related to ag '
l'l-Illll'rtli‘ai and purely coun'try life. Indeed,
the English show departs from the agri-
cultural llnc only by the exhibition of earth--
ges anda few articles of domestic economy.
which are not t s): cfally confined to farmer’s
households. , . ‘ .- . .

The space is large, the sheds and show
rings are admirably arranged, and in every
department it is evident from the “outset
that the management is working with the
light of long..cxperience. The catalogue is
printed almost at the very last moment ; its
numbers are all consecutil’e. and there are.
astonishing few exhibits recorded which are
not present on the ground. The prize lists
in the various classes are conspicuously
posted the moment the judges’ awards are
announced. ‘ '

The managers of the grounds and the
groups of judges were assisted on this oc-
casion by a swarm of boys from the training
ship Formz'dable—neat and active fellows,
in their _sailor dresses distributing badges,
carrying messages, and. {giving efficient
help in all matters of detail. The exhibition
was quite ready at the time ann‘ounced ; ev-
ery exhibit was in its place and ready
for inspection. In no single department
during the whole week of the show” was.
there the least suggestion°or sign of Confusion
or hurry; and so far as the crowd permitted
even on the cheap admission days, it was easy
to inform oue's self concerning every ob-
ject. * ’5 ii '

in England could be more impressive, more
indicative of the enormouswealth and power
of the people, that? the collection of animals

annual show. Traveling through the coun—

t-vt-ry side by an agriculture with Ewbich we
have nothing to compare; passing hundreds

uniform excellence is remarked on every

absolutely dean, and absolutely unbroken
in their uniformity of growth; where the

STEAM PLouou‘rSG rs ENGI..-\yn.—~What-
ever may be the objections to the use of
the, steamploughs~~and they are fast being
overcome—they impress the unaccustomed
visitor with great force. I had read of
them and had seenpicturcs of them, and
knew of the amount of work that they ac—
complished ;- but to see 'them standing here,
more than a dozen of them in shed after

shed, showed how inadequate had been--prc-.

conceived idea concerning them:

' John Fowler 3% 00., of Leeds,- show

several sets of appartus with engines of from
six to twenty' nominal horse-power, with
the gang ploughs, gr'ubbers, rollers, culti-
yators, and barrows to be used with them.
It would be impossible to give a correct
notion of the system of steam cultivation
without quite full illustrations. In Fowler’s
system two‘erigines are used—engines 'which
are Capable of traveling onthe road, moving
about thé fields and carrying their apparatus
with them. Under the boiler a horizontal
drum carries a steel wire rope, by which
the plough is drawn. ,Thc plough, which
turns from four to eight fufiows, according
to the power» of the engine, is a gang of
ploughs attached to an iron frame, and so
balanced that as it proceeds in either di-
rection the gang which is to make the reverse
cut is cocked up in the air. The plough-
man sits over the centre of the gang, and
has in 'front of him a steering Windlass,
by which the direction of the plough is
regulated, The grubbcrs, cultivators’ har-
rowers, subsoilers, etc , are all arranged in a
similar way. '

When at work, one engine stands at each
Side of the field, each with its rope attached
to the plough, and this is drawn backward
and forward between them, 'the engines
moving forward along the headland for each
new bite. In order to protect the rope from
friction, it is-_supportcd here and thereby
little trucks called “rope supporters.”

Apair of_ the large engines and a six-
furrow plough will turn up from fifteen to
twenty acres per day, almost irrespective
of depth, within any usual agricultural
limit. The system has been in practical
use for twenty years past, and has been
undergoing constant improvement, until it
seems now to be very nearly perfect. It
is. of course, only '_on farms of the largest
size, where many hundreds of acresare
annually, that these large double engine
sets of apparatus are used, but there are
companies and associations. of farmers in
at parts of England which own one or more

ets to b: let out for hire, so that even a
small farmer may have his ploughing done
by team at a cost much less than that of
doing it by horse labor, ~when if is Consider—
is relieved from the Cost of
maintaining his horses throughoutthe ymr.
The mere matter of economy, ho .i'cvt-r, is “a
secondary consideration as compared with
the quality of the work done. The greater
speed of the steain plough gives a much
more thorough pnlverization and aeration to
the soil, the treading of horses" feet is en—
tircly done away with, and the condition
of the land gratefully is greatly lm; rived,
especially as the subsequent operations it ay,
Where fields are sufficiently large, all be
done by siesta—harrowing, rolling, and seed
drilling; Indeed, the only draw back to
this system seems to be the very large
amount of capital that. it is necessary to
invest—a pair of twenty horse power traction
engines, an eight furrow plough, -and 800
yards of steel rope costing no less than
£2372 ($11,896) To give an idea of the
scale of the whole system it may be stated
that a six furrow balancing plough is about
thirty feet long, and weighed over two
tons—Harper’s for January.

ltaflling Opposed.

The ladies of Bridgeport, Conn, proposed
a fair for the improvement of the “Moon'-
tain.Grove Cemetery," and when it appeared
that the too common. milling swindles were
to constitute one of the attractions, eleven
ministers of that city, under the lead of Rev.
Charles Ray Palmer, petitioned the lady
managers to dispense with that part of the
programme. The affairgot into the papers;
the ministers remonstrating. and a committee,
of the lady manggers retorting on them in
rather tart terms, on the ground that the fair
was not for a religious purpose; and
through one of their gentlemen friends de-
mandln‘g a retraction from Mr. Palmer] He
replied that be had no apology to offer,
having done a simple Christian duty in op
posing gambling in any manner and for any
purpose, and that he does not'pro'pose to re,-
tract a word of what he has said or written.
The (Democratic) mayor of the city has
taken sides with the ministers, and the sober.
second thought of tlrc' people, and of all
prudent people clan-where, will honor them
for their manly Christiancoursc. It is time
that ministers everywhere set their faces as a
flint against this illegal, unchristlab. danger-
ous form of teaching the young to gamble.—

A» Mathema tlcal Curlositv. ‘

The New Orleans Pri-ayymze makes the
following arithmetical assertions. A good
employment for the mathematically inclined,
during the long winter evenings, will be to
test their accuracy: -The multiplication of
987654321 by 45 gives 4444444445, Revers—
ing the order of the digits and multiplying
123456789 by 45 we get a result rqually curi-
ous, 5,555,555,505. -If’we take 123456789 as
the multiplicand, and interchange the figures
of 45, take 54 as the multiplier, we obtain
another remarkable product, 6,666,666,606.
Returning to the multiplicand first used,
987654321, and taking 54' as the multiplier
again, we 53,333,333,334—all threes except
the first, and last figures, which read together
54, the multiplier, Taking the same multi-
plicand and using 27, the half _of_'54, as the
multiplier,we get a product of. 26,666,666,667
—all sixes‘except the first and, last figures,
which read together, give 27, the-multipler.
Next interchanging the figures in the number
27, and ,‘using 72 as the multiplier with
987654321 as the multiplicand, we obtain a
product of 71,111,-111,112-—all ones except
the first and last figures, which read together
give 72, the multiplier.

 

 

Arguing from Exceptions.

had but a few weeks’s‘chooling; and so I—”
says the complacent youth. 'To whom it
m’ght be replied: It is not wise to. argue
from extreme and exceptional cases. Ai‘e

A year or so ago, an old gentleman died in

 

New York, at the age of far beyond a cen-
tury. He had been a soldir-r, and fought in
the European wars up to the. battle of Water-
loc. During all his life he» used wine and
spirits, tobacco and opium. It would hardly
be wise to argue from his case that war,wine,
alcohol, tobacco and opium promote the
length of life. Thirty-five years ago the
writer saw and heard Colonel Lemanowsky,

.a member of the Grand Army. He was in

all of Napoleon’s "wars, in the Egyptian
Campaign, the Peninsula War, and the Rus-
sian Campaign. Yet he lived to nearly a
hundred. Would it be wise to argue that
war was a healthful employment P

Samson achieved a'good deal with the jaw
bone of an ass'; but his case was exceptional;

from it, and inferring‘that rifléd'guns are ( f

The house of Prism might, in the
opinion of Dr.. Schlitmann, have had more
than 100 rooms, and he. think it is originally
five or seven stories high. One of the rooms
now contains a jar so large that it is nearly
filled by it. Four of such jars have been
found by,him, each measuring five and a

half feet high and four feet seven? inches

broad. The large number of jars found on
the ground floor induces the belief that. it
was used for store-rooms. The four huge
jars contain a number of beautiful teara-
cotta vases, of which also many fine speci-
mens were found in the brick colored ashes
with which the rooms are filled. Dr.
Schliemann thinks the most remarkable,
thing in the ancient mansion is that here
and there beneath it the walls of a still more
ancient building are. foutid. He ascribes
them to the first city erected on the site
of the famous city; All the fragments of
pottery which he has seen in ,the room of
the mansion immediately below the Trojan
stratum have, he says, on both sides a
beautiful lustrous red. black oy'brown color
which he has never forind ' anywhere except
in the strata of the first city. . He is-lfurther
of opinion that the great circuit wall was
.not built by the people which, inliabllul
Troy at the time of the catastrophe. but i y
their predecessors. Among the‘ remarkable
object’s discovered recently Dr. Schliemann
in his last letter to The Times (London),
mentions thexemains of an embryo child,
which a physician thinks to be only four
months old. All the bones seemedlto be
present, “so that the skeleton might easily be
constructed." ‘

TE}: Snu will be printed 'every day during llu‘
year tocoinc. Its purpose and method will be the
some as in the past: To'prescut all the news in a
readable shape. and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall. . ~

Tm: Sun has been, is, and Will continui: to be
independent of everybody and everything save
the, Truth and its own convictions of duty. That
is the only policy which an honest newspaper
need have. That is the policy which has won im-

 

wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any
other American journal. '

Tun Sim is the newspaper 01' the people. it is
not, for-the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man. but it seeks to
do equal justice to all interests in the community
It is not the organ of any person, class. sect. or
party. There need be nomystery about its lover-
and hates. It is 'for the honcgt'man against the
rogues every time: It is the honest Democrat as
against the dishonest Republican, and for the hon-
est Republican as against the dishonest Demo-
It'does not take its one from the utterances
of any politician or political organization. 1
givgs its support uiueservcdly when men or meas-
ures are in agreement with Constitution and with
the principles upon which this republic was fortn-
ded for the people. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principles are vi'olatcd—as in
1876, by which a may not elected was placed in the
President's oflloe, where .he. still remains — it

speaks out for the right. Thstjs Tut-z Sun’s idea
0 lnde malice. In this respect there will be no
change, n no programme for 1879. _ .

Tun: Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of
rascals. frauds and humbugs ofall sorts and sizes.
tt. «open 74) deserve that hatred not. less in the .ear
1.879 t an in 1578,1817. or any year gone by. rule
sun is printed for the men and women of to-day
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
1: has both the disposition and ability to afl‘ord its
leaders the promptest. : fullest-and most accurate
intelligence of whatever in the wide world is
worth attention. To this end the resources be-
longing to well-established prosperity will be liber-
all employed. . ' ‘ . '

be present disjointed condition of parties in
this country. and the uncertainty of the future,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of'the coming ear. To res-int with accuracy
and clear-nose t e exact a tuatlon in each of its
var 'lug phases. and to expound. according to its
we} -known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth. will be an impor-
tant part of THE Sun’s work for 1879. '

We have the means of making T111; SUN. as a
political, a literary. and a general newspaper,
more entertaining and more useful than ever be-
fore: and we mean. to employ them freely. ~

Baby mine, baby mine ?

And he i O'It'l' will appear,
And it : in't much that I kt‘t’l',
Baby mine.

He has lcl’t us without clothes,
Baby mine;

And the baker man he owes,

And the butcher man he blows—

How many more, who knows,
Baby mine?

I could pull his hair all out,

I could wallop him about,

And punch him in the snout.

How happy I shall be
If he‘ll stay permanently,

Don’t Stop My Panel'-

 

 

Dou’t stop my paper, printer,
Don’t strike my name off, yet;
You know the times are stringent
And dollars hard to get ; . ,
But tug a little harder
Is what I mean to do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Enough for me and you.

I can‘t afford to drop it ;
1 find it doesn’t pay 5
To do without a paper,
However others may.
I hate to ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan ;
They don‘t just say, but mean it,
Why don‘t you have your own ?

You cant’t tell how we miss it,
If it, by any fate,

Should happen not to reach us,
Or comes a little late;

Then all is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry,

And, printer, if you’re married
You know the reason why.

I cannot do without it,
It is no use to try,
For other people take it,
And, printer, so must I.
I, too, must keep me posted.
And know what’s going on,
Or feel, and be accounted
'A fogy simpleton.

Then, take it kindly, printer,
,If pay be somewhat slow,
For cash is not so plenty.
And wants not few, you know.
But I must have my paper,
Cost what it may to me,
I‘d rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.

, So, printer, don’t you stop it,

Unless you want my frown,

For here’s the year's subscription,
A'nd credit it right down,

And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,

And let it bring us weekly
Its welcomed benlson. ‘

 

Inspecting Cider.

 

Yesterday forenoon a farmer, having a
barrel of elder on top of‘his wagon, was
doing a fine retail business near the market
at five cents per_ glass, when a man with a
very thin voice and very old clothes, softly
advanced and said: .

. “Has the State Inspector of Pomological
Juices inspected that cider yet 2’"

“I—I guess not," replied the farmer.greatly
embarrassed in a moment.

“I thought not,” continued the thin‘
voiced man; “Well, sir, you can draw me a
fullglass.”

The farmer drew one, scanning the man
with considerable anxiety, and when ,the
“inspector” had received it he held it up
between his eye and the sun and said:

“The precipitation appears most too rapid,
while these floating particles denote unusual
compression. Perhaps a second glass will be
clearer.” _

He swallowed the contents of the first at

, exactly four gulps, and taking a second glass

be critically examined it and said:

“Ah! the precipitation is clearing away.
This cider seems to have been made from
apples.” ' 4

“It was, sir, and they were nice apples,
too,” replied the farmer.

“Let’Js see how a third glass will look. I
am not quite satisfied on the point of com-
pression.” .

He drained the second and received the
third, and as he sipped it he inquired: .

“You'uscd a build cider press,didn’t you 1’"

“Yes, sir.”

“Ah! I thought :0. Worked with a lever,
didn’t it 1’" '

“Yes, sir." ~

“Did the mill stand in a draught of air
while you were working it ?”

“——~I—don’t know, sir."

“Well, 1, think it llld. Be a little HIJI'C
earcful after this. The Inipector of Pomo-
logiéal J ulccs grades this barrel ‘A No. 2, ’
but if. you tail-Le a little more pains, you can
increase the grade tvery time in the future.
All right, sir; go on with your selling.”

Tire man had been gone ten minutes before
any one mustered courage to remark that he
was a fraud, but the words fell upon stony
ground. *

“I'know he’s all right," persisted the
farmer. "The minit I see him draw his coat
tail around to wipe out the corner of his
mouth I knew he was a big gun, and I was
just shivering in my boots for fear he'd ask
me why I didn't punch the seeds out of the
apples befbre grinding. Only five cents a
glass, now, and warranted pure l”—-F-ree

It Always Works.

People who ride on the Woodward avenue
route have often noticed when a certain
tall, solemn looking man, aged about-fifty
boards a full car, he always holders-whis-
pered convarsation with some man who at
once gives him a seat and retires to the
platform. The tall man never has to stand
and hang to the strap, simply because he
understands human nature. Glanclng around
the-car, he selects his victim, bends down
ind confidentially whispers: “Make no
move to attract attention, and listen care-
fully to ’what I say. You have an ink-stand
on your nose, and your necktie is imminent.
ed. Step out on the platform and brush
up.” The victim steps out there every
time, after he had wiped away at his nose
and pulled away at his tie, he looks into
the car to see the tall man enjoying the
vacated seat with the greatest comfort. Life
is full of these base deceptlous, and yet
innocent people are powerless to meet them.

Hint for Poor Folks. .

Alpheus had been having a long spell of
fever, and it is necessary to have a light
burning all night in his room. .We live out
in the country, so no gas was accessible.
Candles flickered disagreeably and akero-
sene lamp when turned low always hadan

 

annoying smell for an invalid, so I be.

thought of a light my mother used to im-
proviso, when I was a child, before kero-
sens, with its attending dangers, was known.
It was made by taking a saucer of lard, and
cutting a piece of newspaper. in a circle
about three inches in diameter, then twist-
ing the centre of this up to' a‘ point. and
burying all but the tip ill the lard. It will
hurn‘all night—a shady dim light—and in
our case-proved a real comfort. Some of
these homely facts are well worth remem-

boring—Prairie Farmer.
