The Enormous Wealth ofWilliam

Jennings and the Great Inter-

est many have Therein.

 

From the New York Times.

In his recent journey to England upon mat-
ters concerning the Jennings estate, Mr.
James Usher, who makes a specialty of that
sort of thing, dug up'some facts which can
not but be interesting to the few hundred
thousand people who think they are heirs of
the long defunct William Jennings. Few
have any definite ideas about that remotely-
deparled person . beyond the general ones
that he was very rich, and left his wealth in

such forui as to be a perennial joy for law:

yers and of deal-bless hope for a myriad of
claimants.

According to Mr. Ushei’s story, William
Jennings. of Acton Place, Suffolk, and or
Grosvenor Square, London, was a son of
Robert Jennings, aide-ile-carpp to the Great
Duke of Marlboroughmnd grandson of Hum-
phrey Jennings,who was not only an eminent
iron-master in Birmingham, but owner of
Ediugtou Hall,county of Warwick, and Lord
of the Manor of Nether Whitacre, in that.
county, in 1680, which is far enough back to
look up the Jennings line. The William
Jennings whose estate is the present bone of
contention, died in 1798 at the sufficiently
ripe age of 97 years. King William III. was
his godfather, and he was at onetime page ti-
Gcorge 1., so that social respectability at
least may be claimed for his family associa-
tions. Hospitality and generous opeuhaud-
edness are reported as having been charac-
teristics of the Birmingham branch of the
family, but William had no such unthrifty
vices.

He seemed to live mainly for the purpose
of accumul ting wealth, remained a bachelor
all his life fiat he might the better devoti-
his whole attention to money-getting, anu
died at last without making a will. After his
death a will was found in his coat pocket.
sealed, but not signed, be having fO‘gottcn
to take his spectacles with him when he paid
his last visit to his solicitor. and ccnscqueut-
1y deferred its signature. In his iron chest.
the key of which was found hidden in a
mortgaged deed, wore discovered £19,000 in
bank notes of the year 1798, and several
thousand new guineas. In various drawer:
in his town and country houses about £20.
000 in gold and notes were collected. The
Messrs. Child. his bankers, kept for him al-
ways a “petty cash deposit” of £50,000,
just to meet sudden emergencies, but which
he had not drawn upon for ui’auy years pre-
ceding his death, and they also had in keep-
ing for him a huge chest full of silver plate
and jewels. .

But all these were as nothing by compari—
son with his enormous investments in almosi
every speculative enterprise and security ol
the day, and his vast possessions in real cs-
tate. Among some of the items specified in
the long roll of his acquisitions are £200,000
invested in safe and good mortgages, £60,-
000 in three per cent.*.n.su1s, £100,000, in
South Sea stock, £86,000 in bank stock, £50.
000 in reduced annuities, £150,000 in accu-
mulating interest on stocks, funds, etc;
£107,000 cash in private bankers’ hands, etc.
In all he was worth at least £2,000,000 when
he died eighty-three years ago, and it is aver-
red that by accumulating interest and profit
upon his shrewd investments of capital the
present value of the estate is fully four times
that ‘much. Of course if he had ever stopped
to reflect about it he would probably have
seen that a little carelessness or even mild
prodigality would hardly have been likely to
bring him to the poorhouse, yet all his life ht-
was close even to peuuriousncss, himself tak-
ing all the trouble of going over all his house-
hold bills rather than go to the expense of
employing a steward, making a row if he
discovered a few shillings of extra expendi-
ture, and insisting upon it that all his expen-
ses in both town and country shouldbc Kept
within £3000 per annum—the sum he receiv-
ed from the exchequer toniinc. It is afiirmed
that this large estate, being well and clearly
defined and located, can be made tb yield
something to the multitude of American
claimants, and that going for it is a sort, 0'
fishing excursion, as the pursuit of the myth:-
cal millions of the Hyde estate proved to be.
But unluckily for the hopeful gentlemen
who look after it, there are English claimant:-
in possession of at least a very considerabl:
portion of it, and so large a sum as £8,000.-
000 will hardly be given up without a vas:
amount of litigation. ,

 

Easter day fell on April 9th in 1871. It
will not, however, fall on this day again after
the present year till 1944; then again in 1950.
2023, 2034, 2045, etc. In 1386 it will fall or.
April 25, its latest possible date. This will
be the first time it has Occurred since thr-
introduction of the new style in 1752. I:
will then not occur again on April 25th until
after fin interval of fifty-seven years, or in
1943; and then not again for one hundred

The crossing of the Rio Grande river into
Mexico over the new bridge by the first rail-
way train on March 8,was made the marsh»:
of a turnout of the Mexican Civil and military
dignitaries and general rejoicing. The train
was decorated with Mexican— and American
flags, and contained General: Sherman and
friends. 0n arriving on the Mexican side sa-
lutes were fired and bells rung. Theband ol'
the Twenty-third Mexican infantry played
" See the Conquering Hero Comes,” “ Hail
Columbia,” and the Mexican anthem. Gen.
Sherman was greeted with great enthusiasm
by the Mexican officers and people, and con-
ducted to a commanding knoll, where he
held an impromptu reception, after which,
amid salutes, he returned to the American
side of the Rio Grande.

How to Escape Nervousnes's.

Nervousness is nervous weakness. The
principal sign of a feeble nervous organiza-

_ tion is an excessive degree of irritibility, of
one or more of the organs of the body. Ifthe

nervous system be weak,thc organs to which
the nerves are distributed will also bh‘wiaak.
and a weak organ is always an irritable one.

It takes very little to throw such an organ.
out of its orderly course of action. Some
slight cause or other acting on a “nervous"
brain creates such a degree of irritability
that it spossessor feels as if he would like to
“jump out of his skin," or he may be thrown
into a paroxysm of intense emotional
disturbance, or a sick headache, an at-
tack of hysteria, or even a more severe

disorder may result. A “nervous" eye or

car is annoyed by unnsud or persistent lights
or sounds; a “nervous" heart palpitatcs and
flultcrs after slight mental Or bodily exertion;
:1 nervous sfirmach is irritated by food which
iliealthy baby could easily digest,.and the
condition known as “nervous Oyspepsia” is
induced ; and a “nervous" spine,to specify no
further, causes (leruugements of nearly all
the organs of the body. To cure these vari-
ousdisorders is often difiicult and sometimes
impossible. To prevent them even in persons
predisposed to nervousness is comparatively
an easy matter.

The whole-hygiene of the subject is cm-
braced in the sentence—strengthen the nerv-
ous system.

How is this to be done.

First—The first prescription is an ample
supply of pure, fresh and cool air. The
nerveswill always be weak if the greater part
of the day and night he passed in close, ill-
ventilated and overheated apartments. The
nerves more than the rest of the body, to be
properly nourished, rcquiré a full supply} of
oxygen. They will not endure vitiated air
whether the impurities come from sewers,
gaslights, subterranean furnaces or the indi-
viduul’s own person, withhut making an en-
ergetic protest.

A gas burner consuming four cubic feet of
gas per hour produces more carbonic acid in
a given time than is evolved from the respir-
ation of eight adult human beings. Bear this
in mind you who suffer from nervousness,
Illai‘. when you have shut yourself up in your
moms and lighted an argand burner (which
consumes about twelve cubic feet of gas per
hour) you are lo all intents and purposes im-
mured with twenty-three other persons, all
taking oxygen from the atmosphere. Is it a
wonder that after several hour’s exposure to

_ the depraved airyour nerves should rebel as

far as their weak state permits, and that your
head should ache, your hands tremble, and
~liat your daughter‘s playing on the piano a1-
:nost drives you wild? .

An overheated abartment always enervates
its occupants. It is no uncommon thing to
find rooms heated in winter by an under-
ground furnace up to ninety degrees. Fights
‘llld murders are more numerous in but than
in cold weather, and the artificially heated
air that rushes inte our rooms, deprived as it
is of its natural moisture by the baking it has
undergoneds even more productive of vicious
oassions. It is no surprising circumstance.
therefore, to find the woman who swelters all
lay in such atemperature, and adds to it by
superfluous bed clothing, cross and disagree-
able from little every day troubles th would
scarcely ruffle her temper if she t her
rooms at sixty-five degrees and opened the
windows every now and then. ‘

Second—Eat plenty of well-cooked and
nourishing food. The nerves cannot be kept
healthy on slops. Gruels, panadas and teas
are Well enough in their way, but the nerves
require for their proper noui‘ishment undilu-
ted animal and vegetable food ; as a rule the
former should predominate. Meat eaters
are rarely ;troubled with nervousness.
Americans eat more vegetables than any
other well-to do people, and they are proba-
bl y the most “nervous” nation on the face of
the earth.

Third—Take sufiicieut'physical exercise in
the open air. When you feel irritable, trem-
ulous, fretful, fidgety and unable to concen-
trate your thoughts on the veriest trifle, take
a long walk, or‘split half a cord of wood.
Even the extreme nervousness of lunatics is
best quieted by’bodily labor. The homicidal

-maniac who cannot if kept in his cell be

trusted with a bodkin may safely be given
spade, pickaxe or hoe, and set to work in the
garden. His irritability is quietly led of into
another and safer channel, and his nerves are
strengthened.

These are the prinpral rules. If they
were faithfully followed there would be less
work for the doctors to do.

\ One More Unfortunate.

A Lcadville editor narrowly escaped being
robbed of. $20,000, the other day; only one
little thing saved him. He did not have it
with him. The robbers knocked him down
and made away with a poker check, a. bulls-
eye silver watch, a copper’ccut and a stub of
a lead pencil. Hc begged piteously for the
watch, saying that it belhnged to his mother-
iii-law, who would certainly kill him if he
did not bring it back. They remained'obdu-
rate, however, and were astonished next day
to find his mangled and bleeding body lying
in f t of his late‘ dwelling. The m.-i.-l,
had evidently thrown him out of the win-

 

dow. Filled with the profoundest ' pity, the;

robbers carried him off and buried him, and
at the head of the editor’s grave these kind-
hearted men erected a beautiful monument
of unplaned boards bearing the simple and
touching words, “ Another Liar Has Gone.”

What Came of Striking Oil.

 

WONDERFUL GROWTH IN WEALTH, POPULATION
AND CRIME OF A NEW YORK TOWN.

 

Rionhimc, N. ,Y.—Last July this wasa
village of less than 200 inhabitants. It was
a pious neighborhood, peopled by a commu-
nity of Seventh Day Baptists. In July it
man "named Boyle struck a 250-barrel oil well
near the village.» Land went from $10 an
acre to $300. There arc‘uow 550 oil wells
in the neighborhood, producing 10,000 bar-
rels of oil a day. Richburg has 5,000 inhab-
itants. It has had three murders in six weeks.
There are several hotels, an opera house,
banks, (faro and national), Chinese laundries,
bagnios and rum holes. Four-railroads have
been built within three months. The Seventh
Day Baptists have all sold their lands and
become rich. Six oil wells are completed
daily, yielding from 15 to 250 barrels each on
on the start. Every door-yard has its derrick,
and one man has taken his front porch for a
boiler-house. A short distance away a ‘uil-
lage of 3,000 inhabitants, known as Bolivar,
has sprung up from a collection of farms.
Four railroads center at that place. The oil
production of this district at the present rate
of increase will be 15,000 barrels a day. No
district in the history of the trade was ever
developed so rapidly, notwithstanding that
crude oilis only eighty centsu barrel, and
that the Bradford field ,is’ alone producing
25,000 barrclp of oil a day more than there is
any demand for. There is now storediu the
tanks of the Unileleipc Lines in the oil re-
gions over 25,000,000 barrels of oil waiting
for a market: About 65,000 barrels of oil
are run through the pipe lines every day.
There is $180,000,000 invested in the Brad-
ford field. Not less than $5,000,000 have:
found a place for investment in this new tar-z
ritory since it was opened. At the present
very low price of oil, producers get twenty
per cent. returns for their money. The Uni-
ted Lines take all the Oil that is offered to
them. If the northern field becomes ex-
hausted rapidly, that "company will control
about all the crude all there is in the country.
With their 13,000 miles of pipe line they
hold the key to oil transportation. They
now pipe oil from the oil regions to Cleve-
land, Buffalo and to the seaboard. This lat-
ter line extends from Olean to Rutherford:
N. J., with a dOublcline completed to Port
Jervis. - -

 

Glass Houses.

The saying, ”Those who live inglass.

houses should not throw stones,” dates back

to the union of England and Scotland, at.

which time London Was inundated with
Scotchmen. This did not please the Duke of
Buckingham, who organized a movement
against them, and parties formed who went
about nightly to break their windows. .In
retaliation a party of Scotchmen smashed
the windows of the duke’s mansion, which
stood in Martin's Field’s, and had so many
windows that it went by the name of the
glass house. The duke appealed to the king,
who replied: “Steenie,Steeuie, those who
live in glass houses should be carefu' how
they fling stapes."

 

Stop Over Checks.

President Watrous has issuefi new order
for the issue of stop-over tickets on the Con
solidated road. in place of the old system of
stopover checks given by the conductors,
which was abolished some time ago. It is
only necessary for the traveller to tell the
ticket agent when he buys his ticket that he
wants a stop-over ticket instead of an ordin-

ary one. Three connected tickets are pur -
chased for the price of a through ticket and
punched to show the starting, the sloping,
and the final stations. The ticket agent keeps
one, the conductor takes the second, and the
third is retained by the passenger. After
stopuing off and again renewing his journey~
he has this third ticket on hand to Oder for
his fare to his destination. Rn extension of
the system permits additional stoppiugs, but
he always has to get a ticket from a ticket
office, instead of receiving anything from the
conductor. Mr. Watrous regards this plan
as better than the issuing of stop-over checks
by conductors, as it leaves no chance for the
frauds on the company under the old plan.

Exhibiting his Millions.

NEW YORK, March 14.—-Yesterday Mr. J ay
Gould invited to his private ofilce Cyrus W.
Field, Russell Sage and Frank Work, the par-
riculsr friend of Mr. William H. Vanderbilt
and told them that certsin'of his friends had
advised him to dispose of, by indisputable
proofs, two or three rumors, or assertions,
which had been circulated against him, his
operations, and his credit. The rumors re-
ferred to are that Mr. Gould was embarrassed
financially; that he had been called upon for
large amounts of money he had borrowed;
that he could not burrow any more. and that
he had been selling the stocks with which
he is most thoroughly identified. Pointing
to a large ofilce table covered with bulky
bundles, Mr. Gould said in substance that
there they would find evidences of his interest
and faith in the properties in question. The
packages were labelled with the names of the
companies in which the stock was held and
the number of shares. The par value pf the
securities upon the table was $54,000,000.
The packages'were cut open, and the visitors
satisfied themselves, or at least say they did,
that there were $23,000,000 of Western Un-
ion Telegraph sh'ares; $12,000,000 of Mis
souri Pacific Railway stocks; about $8,000,-
000 of Elevated Railway stocks, and $3,000-
000 of the common stock of the Wabash,St.
Louis and Pacific Railroad. When they had
satisfied themselves that Mr. ould owned
outright over one-fourth of t e capital of
Western Union and nearly half of the capital
of Missouri Pacific the callers evinced a
unanimous desire to get away. Mr. Gould
delayed them a moment by offering Io show
them a few of his bonds, but was interrupted
by his secretary with the deprecatory remark
that it would require a couple of carriages to
bring down the bonds.‘ -

The_ life of a railway conductor is, necessa-
rily a fast one. His wanls are great and his
wages usually small. He is consequently
driven to extraordinary cxpedlents sometimes
in order to' eke out a subsistence, the most
common of which is known in the parlance
of the road as “ knocking down,” or pocket-
ing fares that legitimately belong to the com-
pany. For indulging in this species of high-
way robbery one hundred and sixty-five con-
ductors of the Union Pacific have just been
discharged, and at last advices were about
organizing an Independent reform party in
Nebraska.

 

Heavy Gambling.

“What is the biggest winnings you ever
knew of f” I asked of an experienced New
Yorker. '

“I have heard many fabulous stories," said
be, “but I will speak only of what I know.
I saw Ben Wood, former prov-victor of the
Daily News,one night at a ‘Republican, game
of faro, that is a gtmc made up of gamblers,
win $125,000. He borrowed $2,500 from
Judge McCann to begin on,and he went away
with every packet stuffed with checks and
bills. The cigar seller in the gambling room
told me that Wood‘that night smoked $70
worth of cigars.”

“That is impossible."

“A fact, I assure you. He took cigars
costing about $1 each. and lighting one end
began in his nek'vous way to eat the other,
and in about two minutes he would takea

fresh one.

When Cows May be Kept at a
Profit.

 

Springfield Republican

In every herd of cowthere are animals
which difler widely among themselves in
their adaptability for profit. Each animal
has a different digestive power, different
tastes,difi'erent aptitudes, from every other
animal. In one animal increase of food may
result in the laying on of flesh rather than an
increase of quantity of milk yield—or vice
versa. one animal may keep up a uniform
yield of milk under a considerable change of
food. The owner who carefully studies the
aptitude of each cow in his-herd will usually
be able to point out such cows as‘can bc'kept
profitably on coarse fodders and little grain,
and such other cows as can more profitably
be forced by high feeding into a large yield
of milk. As there exists this individual
diflerende between cows in utilizing such food
as they obtain, it follows that as a herd is us-
ually constituted, some cows are kept at a
profit, and certain other cows at a diminished

profit, or perhaps at a loss.

These two ideas, viz: the difference that
exist between individual animals in economy
of food and in production and the changing
relations between the values of feeding crops
and the animal products, A should lead the
farmer to careful study and thought. " *
A milch cow weighing one thousand pounds
is generally calculated to require for her
support and profit three per cent. of her live
weight daily in food or thirty pounds 9f buy
as its equivalent. . As in this region the
winter may be considered as of six mouths’
duration, this means two and three-quarters
tons of hay. In the six months‘ pasturing
it is difiicult to assign a representative value
but let us, keeping on the safe side, for the
sake of even figures, calculate the cost of the
yearly keep of a cow at three tons of hay.
Now. when hay is at a- certain cost—that is
possesses a certain cash value—it is easy to
figure out the quantity of milk a cow has to
annually produce in order, at a given price,to
cover the value of the food, thus:

A cow must yield annuallyto equal the
value of three tons of hay consumed .

 
 
 

 
 

When hay Quarts Quarts
is worth ' at 2 cents at 3 cents
$10 a ton ........ . ............. . .1,590 1.000
15 a ton... ..... ....2,250 1,500
20 a ton.. ..3,000 2.000
25 a ton..... .. .3750 , 2.500
30 a ton....._....... ...... .......4,500 3,000

According to the most recent statistics
available (those for 1879,) thc’average value
of hay in Massachusetts is $16 a ton. In
suburban localities hay is frequently sold at
$30 a too. In New’York State, the average
price is $9.70 per ton. The average wee of
milk, as deduced from the cheese factory
returns of New York, is about 2% cents a
quart ;.as paid to the farmer by the milk coh-
tructors of the city supply about Bosron,from
3 to ill cents a quart.

We have thus presented to us the question
of relations. A cow which consumes three
tons of buy a year must give, on the average
in New York State, $2937 worth of milk,
or 1,260 quarts, in order to cover the value
of her food. In suburban Massachusetts,
with buy at $20, the same cow must yield
2,000 quarts at three cents in order to cover
the value-of her food. Now, in New_ York
State the average yield per cow is calculated
to not exceed 1,300 quarts,while the yield of
good herds is placed at 1.800 quarts. Another
deduction, of value to the ‘suburban farmer,
especially, is that if through the individual
aptitude of the cow the 2,000 quarts required
to pay for the hay at $20 per ton can be
obtained through the use of coarser fodders
or changed feed equivalent to $10 a ton for
hay, then the superior skill of the chooser
and feeder of the cow is equivalent to 1,000
quarts of extra yield.

These figures are but rough illustrations
of certain conditions which appertaiu to diary
husbandry, the methods under which com-
petition and low prices of product are to be
met and the value of intelligent calculation
to the farmer. .

There are certain facts which in this con-
nection should be well apprehended 1.That
breed is superior to feed, that is, that the
animal fodder is fed out to is of more con-
sequence, under conditions} of good farming,
than the money value of the, food. Feed
does not produce milk in the dry cow; high
feeding can not force a scant milkcr by in'
heritance into a large milker; the cow of
milking habit and strong digestive power
can utilize unsalable fodder, and give satis-
factory and profitable flow under circumstan-
ces where the high value of salable fodder
cannot justify feeding such material with the
hope of profit. Hence, 2. Whether we shall
feed highly, feed food of high or low value,
feed for msintainance or for milk, is s ques-
tion to be determined by the character of the
animal and the relation of values. 3. The
cow of profitable aptitudcs is the one to
keep ; the cow of unprofitable aptitude should
be'sold off at once, and every herd contains
usually more than one, and thus the herd
shall be in a condition for the owner of the
value relations between the unmarketable
products of his farm, the various purchasable
foods,and the salable products of his growth.

Testing a New Fuel.

A locomotive in which crude petroleum is
used as fuel was tested on the Long Island
Railway, Wednesday. 1t drew two cars,
filled with guests invited by the Great
Western Hydro-Fuel Company to Rockaway
Beach and back. The run to Rock away
Beach was made in five minutes less schedule
time. The entire cost of the fuel consumed
was estimated at $1.25. -‘ The engine carried
over 100 pounds of steam, and no smoke or
cinders were produced by the combustion of
the oil. In a speech after lunch at the Beach
Mr. De Saur, the master mechanic of the
Rockaway Beach Railway, said that he be-
lieved the use of this fuel would increase the
life of a boiler at least one half.-

The locomotive was fitted with an appar-
atus for utilizing Mr. Dickey's process which
is intended to cfiect the rapid combustion of
crude petroleum or any of the-liquid hydro-
carbons directly. without first converting it
into gas. The petroleum is conducted from
the tank in which it is carried by a pipe to
the front of the fire box. Here, as the oil
issues from a small nozzle, a jet of super-
heated steam at high pressure is thrown
across. the oil nozzle at right angles. Thus
the oil and steam, mingled with a current of
air which is drawn in with the steam; are
minutely distributed in the combustion
chamber in the form of a fine spray. This
is intended to produce all the requisite con-
ditions for instantaneous and perfect cosi-
bustion without smoke, and the only product
of which is carbonic acid gas. It is also
stated that by the contract- of the super-
heated steam With the incan'lescent carbon
decomposition of the steam takes place, lib-
erating hydrogen, the combustion of which
returns to the flame the heat that’has been
taken up in making and super-treating the
steam.

 

Getting, shut up in a hen coop with a
fat Iwidow is not so pleasant as love in a
cottage. Not long since a widow was show-
ing a bachelor friend over the premises, and
on their tour they stopped to inspect the
hcunery. 'As the twain stepped in the door
closed behind them. Here was a dilemma——
a widow and a bachelor caged in a hen-coop.
What would folks say ? The only means of
exit was a small hen-hole; but the widow

could not get through this aperture; there-
[put it devolved upon the little bachelor to
crawl through and release the widow. He

' performed the duty, and soon both were free
again. This should serve as a warning to all
bachelors never to _inspect hen coop: with
widows lest they be caught.

Deferred Washington Items.

axr-sssrvn ooxcunssroxn. monumuc.

According to a Washington dispatch to the
New York Herald, the distinguished senators
and Representatives who attended the funeral
of the late President, have presented for
their servicas on that mournful occasion the
modest litt5e bill of nearly seven thousand
dollars. We are told that there is an item of
seventeen hundred dollars for champagne,
brandy,cigars and other funeral consolations,
and an entry of three hundred dollars for
“cocktails." It is" remembered here that
the press was very carefully and peremptori-
ly excluded from the funeral train. Even the
reporters for the Associated Press were re-
fused leavc to accompany the train. The
expenditures were undoubtedly most lavish
and inexcusable, but from what we saw at
Cleveland the officers of the House and Sen-
ate having the members in charge were more
guilty than the members for the disgraceful
outrage. Those who know of the disgrace-
ful " junketing ” on the trains bearing home
the bodies of Charles Sumner and Henry
Wilson, will not need to be told that these
disgraceful expenditures ought to be “ sot
down upon.”

LAND creams 'ro narmoxns.

The House Committee on the Judiciary
were engaged the entire session yester-
day in the. consideration of Mr. Cobb’s bill
“to.repeal all laws granting public lands to
certain railroad companies and to certain
States for the benefit of said railroads'com-
panics.” This is one of the most important
bills of the session and one which,if reported
to the House, will array against it a power-
ful opposition. It specifies twefity-three
railroads, including the Atlantic and Pacific,
Terms Pacific and Northern Pacific, and
declares the right and interest of said railroad
companies in said lands forfeited and also
declares the lands to be a part of the public
ddmain, subject to sale as other public lands
at a price to be fixed- by the Secretary of the
Interior. It further‘ provides that the net
proceeds of the sales of these lands'shall be
distributed among the several States and the
District of Columbia to become a permanent
school fund.

 

A German letter, dated Berlin; March 5,
speaking of the forthcoming migration of
Teutous to this country, says:

.“What enormous proportions the Ger-
man emigration will assume the coming sea-
son you may conclude from a late adver
tisement of the Lloyds. In the next four
months, from March 1 to June 30,_Nit will
send out from Bremen to_Néw York and
Baltimorcinot less than sixty-seven steamers
—-namely: Eighteen in March, seventeen in
April, and sixteen each in May and‘June—
that is, more than one large ship every two
days. Suppose that each of them takes out
only 600 steeragc passengers on the average
—in my opinion the number will amount'to
at least 756 head per vessel-there will be
more than 40,000 passengers from one Ger-
man port within four months. And what
is still more interesting is the fact that the
passage money for the greater part of the
emigrants has been sent over by friends and
relatives from the United States to Germany
or that a ticket has been bought by them,
A similar
liVely businessis donein Hamburg; und,apari
from the smaller ports of Havre, Antwerp.
Rotterdam and Liverpool (the latter as far as
German emigration is:concerned,)the German
emigration alone for 1882 may be set down
at 250,000 head."

THE N INE’I‘Y-FIVE CENT Gama—A sharp-
er is on his way up the Hudson with the
“ninety-five cent game." His method of
doing business is to enter a store and ask for
five cents worth of some article; on receiv-
ing it he tenders a $2 bill in payment; the
change given him by. the storckeeper gener-
ally. consisting of a dollar bill or silver piece
and ninety-five cents in small coin, he places
the dollar in his pocket, and suddenly find-
ing a five-cent piece in that receptacle, apol-
ogich for making trouble in getting the bill
changed, and.placing the five cents, on the‘
ninety-five cents, pushes it toward the
storekeeper; asking for a dollar bill, saying

he dislikes to carry so much silver. Upon
the unsuspecting storekeeper placing a dollar
on the counter. the sharper engages him in
talking until he can place both the change
and the bill together, when he coolly asks
the victim to change the $2 on the counter
for the $2 bill be had originally given

 

him.

THE 'YUU N G" KNIGHT.—

‘ MRS. CORDELIA srunslrirxa.

 

 

Dear mother, if these were the olden days.
Such as poets dole. upon,

or knights in armor with jewels ablaze,

End gentle ladies with courteous ways,
I’d be a knight of St. John.. -

I’d stream the helpless, the poor defend,

And all the oppressed should see
How boldly I'd. fight for the right. nor bend
To personal motive nor worldly end,

To high nor to low degree.

Or, in plumed helmet, 'with crest and spear,
Oh, a dauntless knight I’d be!

At the tourney list the boldest should fear

- The stroke ofmy lance; oh, I’d-have so peer

In the ranks Of chivalry.

My boy, your duties to-day are the same
As those of which poets rhyme.
A knight you may be, in deed if not in name,
You may wear your spurs with asjust a claim
As they of the olden time.

Life’s conflict goes on ; there’s a change in
base,
A different mode of attack.
And principles now are the foes we face;
But panoplied well in spiritual grace,
We may drive the evil back. '

So first in‘ycur code of honor shOuId be,
. This motto your life to control-—
There’s nothing like Truth and 'Sinccrity, .
And the next in order true Charity
For every erriug soul. '

on, be kind to all, nor never forget,
_ That He who our nature bore,
His image and superScriptiou has set
Over all suffering hearts and we’ve met
Our’Lord when we meet his poor.

~ Be ears for the deaf and eyes for the blin ,
In tenderness still bestow '

The “cup of cold water.” which bear-in mind.

-Is the symbol of truth that all may find
thucc the living waters flow.

And reverence the old, their benison said
:‘ The favor of heaven brings :, _
wAnd better far than a king’saccolade

Is the blessingcf parents, the prayers they’ve
’ made '

.. TREE! who-is Kipg of kings. A _ -

The vigil~ and vow of the knight retrace,
And resolve to seek and hold ' ‘

A sound and pure form for cachinward grace

In faith, in manners, in every place, " '
For life'is ever tvvofolg.

And every gift that Godfiy bestow,
or knowledge, wealth orstation, _-
Do not call them your own, but let them flow
To deepen the channels of truth, aud‘so
Prosper and bless the nation.

Now deem not your area close, nor think
You must come to man’s estate
Before you begin with good deeds to chink

- [Each crevice in life, and rivet each link

- . .Thht‘msy make you truly great.

Be kind to the pets that come at your call.
-For the poet truly said,
Who lnt‘cih all things,- both great and small,
He prayclh best to the Father of all.
Who glvclh our daily bread. -

Is the dumb licast tortured, the sweet bird’-
nest '
Robbed of its chirruping ones ?

When the poor hare flies, with its bleeding .
breast, :

‘Do we, just for sport, purs‘iic‘ with tho rest,

Are the cattle sheltered ‘when we retire,

Secure from the coldand rain?

Aird the workman who comes to get his hire,

Whose family are waiting for food and fire,
Is he told to call again? ' - '

When we see a wrong, do'wecalmly say,

I: is none of my affair! '
And vI-qr t: lillpl‘iiff Nil} turn array, -
Then “innit-r so many bad :folks have sway,
And l'iora'st ones are so rare? -- ' ‘ ' ' '
