There are two hotels in Vera Cruz, and
travelers need notbe particular in choosing
between them for one is in every respect as
bad as the other. In the one that I went to
they must have mistaken me for a family
traveling in disguise, for theygave me a room-
fully twenty feet square and twelve feet high,
containing three beds, three washstands, a
large table. about ninerocking chairs, and no
soap. They do not furnish soap in the Mex-
can hotels, and if (they give you more than
one candle they charge you extra; I think
they would feel grateful if you would wet
the wick to keep it from burning fast, but
such is not the custom. The first taste of
Mexican butter comes in here. It is almost
as white as lard, and contains no salt, but it
s very sweet and good. A fine largedish of
snails is nearly always on the dinner table,
and though they look bad they taste and
smell fifteen hundred times worse: snails
were made for terrible. examplesof slowness
~—not to be eaten. They have no dessert
here, and put no fruit on the table, although
fruit grows on every bush; but they insist
upon your taking cheése, and give you great
quantities of it. The floors throughout the
house are made of big square bricks, about
ten inches square, in the upperas well as the
lower story. In the dining-room a stone
about a foot square has a ring in it, and can
be lifted up, revealing a sluice into which the
dirty water is thrown. Yellow fever rolls
through .thcse ditches like grain through a
hopper. They are never without it here,
summer or winter. But if they charge you
a weeks board for a single meal, you can
still-afford to smoke. I went up to the “bar"
at one end of the dining-room (where they
sell, matches, soap, 'sapolio, whisky and
cigars, and have a' small lottery) and asked
for a cigar, layingidown a Mexican real, 12}
cents. The bar-keeper held out a box of
cigars. Each one was about the size of a
plump baby‘s arm. It was a' good hour’s
smoke to say the least, and I was doubtful
about the silver coin being‘ big enough to pay
for them. But the bar-tender still held the
box on the counter. ~He looked at me as if
he wanted me totake another. He still held
out the box, and still had a wistful look.
“Si Senor,” said he. ,
So I took another. That made three.
“Si Senor," h‘csaid again, and still looked
at me. I took another, making four, with
half a mind to reach for the box.
“linens,“ said he. which is said to mean
“good," and my four big cigars for 121} cents
were almost equal to' the Havana and very'
much cheaper.
Vera Cruz is called one of the hottest
places in the world, and it has solid claims to
the distinction. ,Wlicn‘ anorthcr comes (and
they come pretty often) and the thermome-
ter goes down to something like it living
basis, the inhabitants go about wrapped up‘
in their cloaks and shawls. imagining them-
selves cold. The wind in a norther blows
around some of the corners so that it is al-
most impossible, to walk against it. There
are no sewers, and the draining is done by
stiffenin. the middle ‘of the streets. The
cross-walks at the corners are always half
way up thexstreet, so that a pedestrian in
walking three. -or.four blocks, describes a
course like the battlements or a castle. The
streets are veryclean—much‘ cl ner than in

strictly to business, and then go of! to some
secluded place or die. - .Bnt they choose the

Suez Canal stock is now selling in Europe
at about $143 per share, and is advancing.
The annual revenue has now crept up to 56,-
000,000, and the expenses have probably
reached their maximum at about $3,500,000.
There are in all 400,000 shares of stock, and
the British Government could sellout today
the large block of stock which Mia'Disraeli
bought four years ago and pocket a profit of
$5,000,000. The par value of the 400,000
shares of stock'is $100, but while the canal
was being built they sold as low as $20, and
when the canal was opened were worth only '
$60. The saving of 5,000 miles for vessels
going to the East Indies is an item worth
looking after, and this canal is fast revolu-
tionizing the routes taken by the world’s
commerce, to the mutual advantage of that
commerce itself and the holders of stoék in
this great enterprise. ‘
A teacher in one of the public schools was

it wuz sorely agin his will that he wuz nomi-

knowd nothin watcvcr ribout it, till the votes
'wuz co‘uutid out, and that he never so much
‘ezvlookcd at a nocscpapcr doorin the progrcs
uv the battle?
I The people don't understand Sauil. J. Til-
inannger and no politishen. lie is too warm
blooded, too impulsive, and too innocent for
the devious ways uv modern pollytix. But
this isn’t generally known. His innocence is
the coz uv all his troubles. Hevin okkepied
prominent posisliuns, wich hev come to him
entirely unsolissitid, and becoz uv his strikt
integrity, he is surrounded by a gang uv un-
scroopulus men, who yoose him for ther own
purposes. He hez a ncfew, a man named
Pelton, who trades on his uncle's well-known
caracter, and who gets him into all sorts uv
trubblcs. It wuz Pclton wich did all the
i'ulcrodc wreckiu that was charged to Tildcn's
account, and it wuz Pclton who wuz the chef
spirit uv the Tweed ring, and who made all
the money out uv it. It'wuzn't Tilden at all,
and nobody ever supposed it wuz, who
knowed the good old man. _
In this matter he wuz in the same fix. Wen
Looisiany,Floridy and Oregon wuz in doubt,
the gilelis Tilden said to hissclf: “It is well.
Ef them States want to vote for Hayes, all
find wat is their will I must be satisfied with.
It is all one to me. I may not be President,
but I have an approvin conshencc," and he
saddled his boss and rode out in Central Park,
smiling, like the innocent man he is.
' But this wicked Pelton, and the still wick-
eder Marble, mizzable men that they are to
thus trade on the innocence uv this unsofisti-
dated old man, they went to Floridyaud Ore-v
gon and Looisiaua and South Carolina, and
they offered large sums uv money to buy the
electral votes of them States. They never let
the gileles Tilden know nothin about it, for
they knowed that of it wuz. ever breathed to
him he wud stop it at once, and probably cut
em all out uv his will. They knowed the in-
tegrity of the old gentleman so well that
they were mighty keerful to keep all knowl-
‘cligc of it from him.
They hev done all that they kin in the .mat—
for to set Mr. Tilden right, and the public
ought to be satisfied with it. The biznis wuz
all done in his parlor, but without his knowl-
edge. While they wuz arrangin the details
he wuz bizzy reading his noospaper and at-
tendiu to his other biznis; when the buying
up uvthc Florida Board wuz discussed at his
breakfast table he was engaged in breakin a
sdft-botled egg, and never heard a word uv it.
They didn't even dare to ask the gilelis old
man fer money to carry out their nefarious
skecm, wich would hev shocked him bed he
knowd uv it. They simply asked him for a
check for $200,000,and the innocent old man
gave it to cm without dreemin uv the wicked
purpose they wuz to yoose it for. They
telegraphed backered and forerds for months,
but the innosent Tilden never knowd nothin
about it, the he paid the bills, with money
wich he sposed wuz goin for charity and
sick.
That this is troo, nobody hez any rite to
question. Mr. Tilden scz it is troo, and so
dees Pclton an Marble. They both testify
that the old man didn’t _ know nothin about
the buyin uv the clectral votes, and that of
he hed knowd it he-would licv stopped it. I
make no doubt that John Morrisscy, wuz be
-alive, would testify to ‘the same thing, and
swear to it, on a fare lay out wich.is why I
am sorry that eminent statesman and gambler
is dead. His testimony w-ood be valuable
new, to inspire confidence in' wat Tilden:
swears to. _
My testimony in this matter ought to hev
weight, for I hev no reason to like Mr. Til-
den. I kin never forget that in the St. Louis
Conveushun wich nominatid him, I got only
$400 for my vote for him, WlCll hc nshoored
m‘c wuz the highest he wuz pnyin, when I
subsequently ascertained, when it wuz ever—
lastinly ,too late. that he’d p-Iid c7. ‘liiglf (z
$2,400 to delegates uv no more importance
than myself. Nor can I forget the broofnl
anscr he made to an appcel for money, that
it’ wuz no yoose to put money into Kentucky
chll wuz shoor to go for him anyhow, and
that he needed all he bed for Nov Yorknvlicr.
votes lied to he lied, and wlier they cost
money. Sityooatcd cz I am with him, my
testimony shood be rcsccvcd ez amountiii to
suthin.
Ez badly cz he yooscd me,I want himnom-
inatcd in 1880, and hence I depreciate these
assaults on to him. I shel kno better than I
did the last- time. Ef ther is cnulf left uv
him to make a candidate he will hev to hev
votes, and he will hev to get em cz he did
afore, by buyin uv cm. He won’t fool me
with any $400 the next time. I shel know
my vally, and the extent uv his means too
well for that. The next time he will hev to
pay me wat I am wuth, and of I don't git
enough to keep me till he comes up for re—
nominasheu agin, I am mistaken.
But this persekooshun ought to stop, and
must. Mr. Tilden ought not to be made to
bear the burdens uv his unscrupulous follow-
ers. The wickedness uv n Pelton ought not
to be made to obscure the true goodnis uv a
Tilden. The good old man scz he didn’
know nothin about the attempt to buy electral
votes, and the Amerikin people must take his
word. They hev no rite to crush an innocent
old man, wich hez been made the prey uv
unscrupulous men wich he is so unfortunate
oz to hev about him. Besides, I like his style.
I want him for a candidate in 1880. He hez
made ez much money since his fust run cz he
spent, and will pay just as much for the
place now ez he did then. He is the favorit
uv the Cross roads. .

The Potter,committee have given him (Mr.
Tilden) a certificate which must be accepted
by the party, however the country at large
.may view it. The party is in very much
such a fix as the gentleman who, in response
to the importunities of a worthless fellow for
a recommendation, at last, in order to get lid
of him, sat down and wrote a recommenda—
tion in which the applicant Was highly
extolled for his honesty, ability and industry.
The follow read it och' carefully, and not
without some surprise at the fullness of the
praise: then turning to« the writer said,
"Look here, ain’t you joking 'r” “By. no

“Why, yes; why‘shouldu‘t I?" .“Ob, it's all
right, Isuppose,” said the fellow, “but if
you believe it, you’d better hire me yourself;
nobody else will." When the next democratic
national convention meets it will undoubtedly
find Mr. Tilden at the door with the Potter
certificate in his hand, ready to remark,
“Here’s your recommendation; if you be—

had “Mrs." painted in before the Christian
name of her husband, whose simple Quaher

People are just as ready to buy and sell with

The other day a very nice-looking young
cute some orders in regard to the covering of
furniture and the putting up of summer win-
dow curtains. Her appearance was so tIIor~
oughly good and fitted to her work, that my
friend could hardly believe she was the
person. It expressed. as she phrased it, too
much “culture." She proved, however, to
be the woman superintendent of the upholst-
ery department of one of our most famous
furniture and decorating houses, and lightly
climbed a step-ladder and proceeded, in a
workmanlike way, to get on the outside of a
Window in the furtherance of the object she
had to accomplish. My friend, who is a lady
of observation and intelligence, became very
much interested in her, and noticing a plain
gold‘ ring on her finger, asked if she were
married. ‘ "No, thank God,” was the reply.
“Why are you thankful that you are not
married i" asked Mrs. H. “Because I have
two sisters who are married," she said, “and
I new to work, not only to support myself
and my mother, but to help support their
children.”
This will be found about the position of
every superior working woman in New York,
and tells the story why the Stewart house
had to remain empty, or be filled by persons
who had no claim upon it. Few men marry
nowadays with any intention of fulfilling
their natural obligations and properly sup—
porting a wife and family. When they are
not ancient widchrs, who can afford to buy
ayoung girl asa luxury for their old age,
they are. generally thoughtless and selfish
young men, whohad rather be taken care of
than~ forced to assume any responsibility.
The majority, who are capable of earning a
living, do not even contemplate marriage.
The club olfers them the “comforts of
a home,” and they prefer to spend their money
upon themselves. This is well enough, so far
as they are individually concerned,unfil they
have reached the age when a personal sympa-
thy and companionship are worth more than
anything else in the world, and then they
begin to regret. their lost opportunities—N.

The Little American Hen.
' While there is very little respect paid to
the lien as a factor, there is a very general re—
spect paid eggs as a crop.
Eggs are not only the sure crop tliutn fur -
the farm that has held its 'own amid all the
fluctations of trade. Bonds may go down or
up, gold may rise or fall on its standard, cot—
ton may dccline or corn go up, but eggs stick.
Ten years ago (in 1568) a dozen eggs would
only buy a yard of calico—now it buys three.
It would'buy one pound of bacon—now it
It buy two and a half pounds
of flour—now it buys five. And so on
through the chapter. While everything else
has dropped, eggs have stood to their old
high—water mark. 5 gold gives out a grate—
ful nation may yet make eggs the standard
of value. '
There is no more delightful or wholesome
food on the farm than each: found in eggs.
The secret of the enormous prosperity of the
French people is that they have a proper re-
spect for the lien, and for her subscqticncc—
the egg. They live on these small things and
grow rich by selling their crop. And now
for some general figures on eggs to sh iw what
America is doing.
The traflic in eggs in this country is esti—
mated, by competeut aullioritics, to tqunl
$150,000,000 per anuum. New York rc—
Ceivcs in a single year 530,000,barrcls of‘eggs
valued at $0,000,000. Ill 1877 lllCl‘C were
exported from this country 5,902,505 dozen
eggs, valued at $668,751. It is claimed that
Philadelphia consumes daily 80,000 dOzcn
eggs. The approximate receipts of eggs in
Boston for the year 1878 have been as follows:
107,657 cases containing 40 dozen each ; and
17,703 barrels, containing 100 dozen each; and
17,703 barrels, containing 70 dozen each.
These figures give as a result, 168,410 pack—
ages, containing 6,515,652'dozen eggs, or 78,-
187,886 single eggs. .
In Atlanta alone 150,000 dozen of eggs, are
used annually, and probably this many more
are sold from this point. .
But look at this! The total cotton crop is
say 4,000,000 bales. At $40 per bale this
would be $160,000,000 for the whole Anteri—
can cotton crop—or just about what the egg
crop is. Ali! gentlemen, lift younhats while
the little American lien passes. ~—Atlan'ta
Constitution. I
an MECHANICAL TELEPHONE—A. me—
chanical telephone has been invented 'by a
son of Mr. Henry A. House of Bridgeport,
and a patent applied for. The inventor is a
lad only thirteen years old. The telephone
works without battery or magnets, and the
call from one station to another is heard
distinctly at some distance from the received
point. Thus a person in the roomwliere the
instrument is located can hear a message from
the transmitting point without placing his
car to the instrument. The invention is a
very simple one, but its effects are quite
wonderful, and the instrument seems to
answer a great want in telephone communi-
cation,—the power of attracting attention at
the received point without the aid of electric
call bells or other methods outside 'of the
telephone itself. Theinstrumcnt is simply
a square box in four sides of which are set
round pieces of sheet brass about three or
four inches in diameter. Wires fastened to
the center of the box, and are there “bridled”
with the main conducting wire, leading to
instruments at other stations.
mouth—piece, like that of a speaking tube, is
fastened to one side of the box, and the voice
thorugh this is -rcproduccd at the other
stations with sufficient force, as we have said,
to be heard at quite a distance from the
instrument. A brass wire is used, and at
angles where it is necessary to fasten it no
insulators are required.
through a hole in a simple wooden fastening.
The instrument works best. we understand,
when the connecting wire is stretched toler’
able tight. For short lines it will undoubtedly
work admirably. One experiment in Bridge—
port has caused some amusement. A box is
plate (1 inc tree, and painted about the color
of the wood of the tree. The experimenter
in an up stairs room watches until some
acquaintance is to pass, and calls “How do
you do Mr. ————,” etc. The .person hailed
stops, the voice is again heard “in the air,”
and the person hailed is greatly puzzled.
The instrument can be manufactured at
small cost. ,We shall watch for its further
development with interest.—_ Colorant-

It is not always sunshine
In this bright world of ours;
Sharp thorns and weeds grow thickest,
Amid the fairest flowers;
In fruits, howc'cr enticing,
Lurk worm-spots at the core:
For each one’s bread and butter
There is a sandedfioor.
In lustrous silk there’s cotton,
In flowing tresscs rats.
In ermines, 50ft and snowy,
The skins of Thomas cats ;
In Iiebe’s form there's whalebone,
On Venus’ lips carmine,
Old boots are thrown in sherry
To make Madeira wine. '
The best of golden butter
Is oleomargarine;
The finest of old brandy
Is next door to benziue;

‘ young man from one of the back towns
c in to buy a. present for his girl last
week. Ills wondering gaze being fixed by
the gorgeous display in a dry goods window,
‘ he entered'the store, and bashfullystoppcd
in front of a pretty young lady behind the
counter.
“How much are those :9" he inquired,poin‘.-
ing at a pair of handsomely wrought nickle-
plated garters in the window.
“Seventy-five cents," replied the: young
lady, sweetly, handing out the articles in
question, and blushing slightly.
“I think they are kinder pretty don't you?
Inquircd the young man, anxious for some-
body’s else’s opinion.
“Very," replied the young miss; “they are
the latest style.”
“Everybody wears them, don’t they f"con-
tinned the young man.
“Almost everybody,” said the young lady ,
affecting an unconcerned air.
“I was goin’ to get them for agirl I know,”
said (the young man somewhat nervously.
Do you think she would like them. ”
“I should think she might—I don’t know,”
returned the young lady, blushing again.
“Well, I don’t hardly know myself," said
the young man, picking up one of the
dainty articles, and examining it closely.
“You don’t suppose they are too large, now,
do you ?" .
“Why—I—I—” stammered the young lady
the blush growing deeper:
“They seem sorter big like,” continued
the young man, not observing her confusion,
“but of course I wouldn’t be certain. She’s
middliu’ size, but, no way fat, and mebbe
these would be a little too loose. I should
think she was just about your bigness, an’
if these would fit you, of course they’d fit
her. Now, just suppose you try them on,
an’ if—” ' -
“Sir!” exclaimed the young lady behind
the counter, in an awful voice that lifted the
young man's hat on the end of his hair,
“you are insulting; ” and she swept away to
the rear of the store, leaving the bewildered
young man standing in dumb amazement,
holding in his hand what he supposed was
a beautiful pair of bracelets. And when one
of the men clerks came and explained his
mistake, the young man from the back town
struck afdirect line for his team, and in a
very brief space of time was tearing toward
home at a rate that threatened to irre-
tricv'ably ruin the old family horse. He
won’t buy any bracelt's now until he's mar-
ried. . , ' >
Tan LIME KILN CLUB vansrrcarrox.—-
The example of the Limo Kiln Club as an
investigator is worth circulating: “James-
town Smith arose to a question of privilege
and said- that rumors were afloat to the
effect that the , janitor was employing his
son to help him around the hall and paying
him out of the club funds. Mr. Smith moved
for an investigation.
‘Dc janitor will please step to the front,’
said the President, ‘dis club investigation on
despot.’ _
‘Gem‘len,’ began the janitor, as he limped
,out, ‘I has heard dc charges an' am ready
for trial. I has been charged wid workiu
my son in'to a fat job. Whar's dc fatness?
What’s de son? Way back in de y’ar forty-
nine, when me an’ dc ole woman was liviu’
on do Rapiden, we had a son bo'n to us,
but arter he growed up big ’nuff to let de hot
stove-poker alone, he died. Dat’s dc only
son I ever bad. If ize nr0t anoder aroun
hcah I’d be mighty glad in sliuk hands wid'
him.’
“A brief investigation disclosed the fact
that Mr. Smith was the victim of a put-
up-job, and he was fined :two dollars for
the benefit of the library fund.”—Detroif
Frees Press. '
No place of personal property has ever
caused so much literary disturbanceas the
little lamb which on some birthday festival
'came into the poscssion of Mary. It was
so ridiculous in the child to take that lamb
to school and to allow it to folldw her
_ around like an overgrown and prodigous
poodle, that it struck the fancy of some
frenzied poet, who got into a monomania
on the subject, and has been writing about
it ever since. The last effort is almost too
greats strain to endure. It shows plainly
that the mania has taken an acute form,
and that the poet’s mania has at last become
confused. Listen to the mour'nful melody :——
Mary had a little lamp;
Her lover, all serene,
Extinguished it, for he did not
Want any caress soon.
What makes the youth love Mary so?
I’ll tell you—she’s a catch; V
And he put out the lamp, you know,
That he might strike a match.
The “just” pension law recently passed ex-
cludes from its provisions every one of the
many volunteer soldiers, with their widows,
parents, and children, who remained in ser-
vice and, died or contracted their disability
after the surrender of Gen. Lee.
A young man who was kicked oil? the
front door step while endeavoring to sere-
nade his girl, by her enraged papa, was too
cautious to call him .an old pirate, but he
didn’t hesitate to designate him as affec-
booter.—0in. Sat. Night.
Business notices—A gentleman recently
about to pay his doctor’s bill said, “Well,
doctor, as my little boy gave the measels to,
all my neighbors’ children, and as they were
attended by you, I think you can afford, at
the very least, to deduct ten per cent. from
the amount of my bill for the increase of
business we gave you.
“What is heaven?” asked a third-grade
Sunday school teacher of fat little Johnny
Stuffem last Sabbath. “Heaven," murmured
the youth, “heaven is four apples, a large
section of fruit cake and a box of candy.”
“And what is hell ?” continued the apostle
of the catechism. “About two hours after- -
ward, ma’am,” answered the truthful scholar.
He got a yellow ticket,
“Oh,Isuppose he loves Sarah, and would
be glad to marry her,” she was saying to
another woman in the post office corridor,
yesterday, “butI dunno.” “Isn’t he a nice
young man ?” asked the other. “Well, he’s
nice enough, but very reckless with his
money. At Christmas time he made us a-
‘ present of a French clock for the parlor, and
there’s not bite of us in the house can Speak
a word of French. He might just as well
have presented us with a German thermome.

it fora barrel of molasses.”—- '
