Ny object in complj'ing, is to put a few dollars in tny purse and to try and please the readers of this paper. The head-piece,"New York Life Illustra­ ted," is neither new, novel or startling. Most everybody has seen New York, and those who have not seen must have tired ef reading about the metropiis. For fear you will pass me by without testing wy wares, I will assure you in the outset that none of my illustrations have ever been exhibited before.-- Notwithstanding the title smells of old books and musty garrets, I shall en­ deavor to bring you something new each week. lit the house opposite where I write, a funeral is now taking place. A hearse stands at the door waiting to bear away the remains to the city of the dead. In the adjoining house a fash­ ionable wedding is being held. The gaily dressed bride's maids and groom's men, with the many invited guests are ascending the high steps as the mourn­ ers are decetiding to their carriages from the adjoining house of death. One is ablaze with happiness and life while the other cast forth a shadow of sorrow and gloom darker than night. The sidewalk under my window is crowded with pedestrians who have stopped to witness the suggestive spectacle. One door opens to the wedding feast, the next invites to the sepulcher ot the dead. Early this morning as I was coming through the produce market, I met a Long Island fawner, ••What are you newspaper folks always writing about people starving In the city, for?" began Uncle Josh, throwing a pile of empty baskets and barrels into his wagon preparatory to a start for his home. '"It it's true where are they? I'd like to find some one who is hungry enough togive «ie tenshillin's a barrel for .potatoes, or if they are starving, they may have all the truck they want by coming out on the Island after it.M Uncle Jesh owns n large trnck farm twenty-five miles out back of Brooklyn. He is well known on the market, having carted in and sold vegtables here from his wagon during the past thirty-five years and his word is never questioned From him I learned that in his neigh­ borhood, acres and acre, of cabbages tomatoes, peas, beans and other truck is allowed to go to wa«te on the ground because it will not bring enough in this city to pay for harvesting and carting. Uncle Josh, said he started from liome yesterday noon loaded with potatoes and tomatoes. He had been on the market all night, and when he got back with his empty baskets and barrels, he would have but eight dollars over ex­ penses to show for his load. That is. his two days and one night's labor with team, and the receipts of his load only*cleared him eight .dollars. He i £aid when he got home, he should do as many of hie neighbors had dene, discharge hi$ help and let the stuff rot on the ground. To-day tomatoes sold for twelve cents a bushel and potatoes from seventy-flve cents to one dollar a a barre'l--thtf cheapest they "have been known in this city for thirty years. They are so low that the supply will be cut off. knd iria few weeks, will doubt­ less advance to three times the present price. The market-farmers of New Jersey, Long Island, and other sections convenient to the city, are suflering more from an exuberant yield this year than they ever did by drouth, grass­ hoppers or bugs. Their land for once, has been over productive. This fact contrast strangely with the other well- known fact, that people by the score are dying daily in this city for the want of food; but to one who has nothing with which to pay, a meal of victuals at five cents ia^as dear as if it cost ^dollar. i You know George Francis Train. Of course you have heard of the Train who ran for the presidency of the Uni­ ted States in '73. Every body has heard of him. but his true history has never been told. If you will walk with me over to Madison Square I-will intro duce him to you. No, I can only point him out, for he never speaks any more to a person over fourteen years of age. HoweverJI notice that he occa­ sionally gets deceived in the age of young ladies, and speaks to those who are two or three years beyond the standard. This excentricity began three years ago, sinoe which be has oc- cupicd a bencb under one of the trees in Madison Square almost constantly. He appears at his seat, both summer and winter, wet or cold at precisely six o'clock every morning, and never leaves it before ten o'clock at night. In dress except when mussed by rain or snow, he is a picture of neatness. A two thousand dollar cluster sparkles from his bosom, and a four hundred dollar atoh, hung to his vest by a two aiulrep dolltr chain keeps for him the ^tme of day. He owns a fifty thousand ll&Uar residence in Madison Avenue a Iffw rods away, the inside of which he j^is not seen in three years. In its liace. he rents a fourth-story hall bed- rfeo'.n to a house in Fourth street near Second avenue, paying therefor two dollars a week, the money being hand­ led to a ten year old son of his landlord eyery Sunday morning. Except in case of a severe storm he invariably takes the blankets from his bed and ascending through the scuttle, sleeps •1 the roof. His landlord stated to me tifat during the past year, Train had nit missed above forty uights from his yoof. Even the coldest nights of last winter found him there. He never Wfars any covering to his head and"1 pllow* himself but one regular meal a day. which he takes at half past five in morning at a coftee house on Third avenue opposite Cooper Institute. He ©liters the park in the morning with eiiery pocket crammed with candies, fried-cakes and crullers. In a paper b$g lie brings a half-peck of peanuts. This stock he parcels out to the chil­ dren and birds during the day. The birds partake of his bounty in the mor­ ning. Tlw»y have become so accustom­ ed to his hospitality that the ground about his seat will be covered with them the moment he arrives. They al%ht on- his head, and shoulders and eat from his hand, a dozen at a time. The children begin to gather around hiin about seven o'clock. They are tfiated with less generosity than the blirds, his bag and pockets beinjg of less capacity than their*tottiachs. Neither the children nor sparrows seem to think Mr. Train insane. Everybody else about New York does, but a com­ mittee of doctors have pronounced him harmless. 1 think him insane, and the cause I 'attribute to an exces­ sive and disappointed desire for pop­ ularity and fame. But I fear I have already taken the reader too far on the Train. Don. POSTAL SAVINGS BANK. Sycamore JiepubUcan says: |ljtf$ of the Sayings Banks ,$f the. feourl And nofv oftlllneM (For we not believe that these failures have ended with a single wreck), attracts renewed attentions to the admirable system of Post Office Savings Banks that have proved such a benefaction to the poor of England, and which we have from time time recommended for this country. In all the leading po^offlces of Great Britain, in con­ nection with the money order depart­ ment there exists also a savings de­ partment, wher^ the small savings of the people may be deposited, and may draw a low rate of interest with the absolute certainty of prompt repay­ ment when required, both of principal and interest. No one ever lost a penny by this system; tens of thousands liavs been encouraged by its safety and cer­ tainty to form habits of thrift economy and accumulation which add milliolis to the wealth of the country, Increase the self-respect of the people, and con­ tribute greatly to the stablity of its institutions. It is not saying to much to say that the great rebellion would hardly have occurred in this country if, under tiiis system; a million of the people of the South had their little savings safely, deposited in the care of the general government at Washing­ ton. By the Post Office Savings Bauk system, those enormous expenses for officers salaries, expensive edifices and the like, which consume the incomes of the ordinary Savings Banks of this country are avoided. The same offices and officers by which the money order system is conducted suffices to take care of the deposits; they are daily forwarded to some central government depository, the government guaran­ tees with all the property of the coun­ try as security the prompt repayment of the principal and a small rate of in­ terest;, and the government has the use of the savings of the people at a lower rate of interest than it is now paying. The government would take ample bonds of the postmaster for the safe transaction of the business, and could not lose by that more than bv other business. At some time we shall see the government not only transmitting intelligence and money through the the postoffices, but by postal telegraphs expediting the transmission of news at the bare cost, and by Savings Banks providing absolute security fei the of the people. •Russian commissariat officer at Odessa was detected adulterating flour about to be sent to the army with lime and other substances.

D. C.. Sept., Sd, 1877. Jkw time passes on there appears more aud more evidences ot a right stormy session of Congress in October. And yet there are whisperings that tho President Is being importuned to re­ voke his order calling the extra session, and tOadispense with any meeting be­ fore the regular session of next winter. This is said to be the wish of many Congressmen who give as their reasons the fact that it will interfere with their business at the fall term of the Courts befbre which they practice. Such con­ siderations should have little weight with the President, indeed, it Is incon­ ceivable that any member of Congress shonld have the face to give such a rea­ son, since they are paid by the year by the Government and their time is not their own. It only goes to show how degrading political life becomes and how secondary to selfish personal ac­ quirements the well-being of the coun­ try gets to be. Among other questions ID prepara­ tions for discussion in Congress next fall is that in regard to President Hayes' order concerning politics and office holding. Several prominent Senators have the matter now under consideration and propose to qnestion the President's right to prohibit any class of men from holding office. They argue that honesty and efficiency alone are required and that the Statutes in­ vest the President with no such dis­ criminating powers as he has exercised in giving the order referred to. This matter is being brought necessarily to public notice by Naval Officer Cornell, of New York, who is the only one who has gone contrary to the order. He presided on the 29th Inst., at the meet-, ing of the Republican State Central Committee, and there seems but one course left for the President to pursue, that is suspending Cornell from office, in which case the affair will assume such a form that the Senate can con­ sider the President's action and oblige him to give his reasons for the suspen­ sion. It is evidently the intention of leading politicians (for Cornell has acted neither uuadvlsedly uor accord­ ingly to his own judgment alone) to bri ng the hi fitter toaf head and bent the President if possible. On the whole there appears to be a prospect of sub- ject'ng the Hayes Administration to the severest criticism by the Republi­ can members of the coining Congress. It is to be maintained that the Admin­ istration In endeavoring to prove It­ self non-partisan, has proveu itself non- Re publican; the grossest inconsistency to be charged upon the Presideut, Evarts and Schnrz, dilatory action is to be complained of; and the argument put ft>r^'h that there must be au un­ soundness somewhere, because of the alienation of the Administration's prominent political friends in Con­ gress--Blaine, Conkl ing, Howe, Spen­ cer, the Camerons, &c. Blaine gave the Presidential party a warm and gentlemanly invitation to accept the hospitalities of his hco*o in Augusta, if on the occasion of its re* cent visit to New England 4 conclude to visit Maine. Conkling does not hesitate to say, sinoe his return from Europe, that. In his belief, Tilden was fairly elected to the Presidency. He adds, however, that since the Electoral Commission decided in favor ofthe present incum­ bent of the White House, his title is as valid as the law oan make it. Senator Morton, though apparently half paralyzed, is rapidly improving and his physicians speak of his entire recovery as a matter of fact. His son, however, lies at the point death with no hopes of recovery. The last week has been warmer here than any time this summer. The last four or five days has been almost in­ sufferable, though we scarcely feel the heat more than we did the few intense^ ly hot days we had in May. We were unprepared for it then, had not made up our minds nor our clothes for it.-- Our summer on the whole, has been a very bearable one. We have had but i wo or three very hot days in succes­ sion and have had an unusual number of showers. MABEL. Diamond Wheat, Finest in the World.

A man may pay rent on his store his lift, and never do any business.--^ Rent draws no patrons, and attracts nc| attention. Rent only gives a man th«|. right to do business at a certain loca­ tion. After he has become responsible for rent, and has bought stock, he is only ready to begin doing business. He| may be content wi th what business falls- to him without effort on his part. So a| boy might be contented to fish with an unhated hook, or to hold his fish-basket in the water, and wait for the fish ta swim into it. The store and the stock of goods are the passive Instruments, only of Use after business begins by ac­ cident, or has been created. It is mani­ festly foolish to wait for accidental business. The shrewd man will create^ business. He will create it by somei form of advertising. Experience will soon tetch him that in no other way can he reach so many readers as by ad­ vertising In a live newspaper. News­ papers for adverts!ng should be chosen with as much care as is exercised in any department of business. The paper that is not read; that is subscribed for "because we ought to take it, you* know;" that is left unopened frequent­ ly, must of necessity be almost useless as an advertising medium. No matteif how low its rates, the money paid out for the use of its columns is little more profitable than money thrown away.! One dollar paid out to a paper inter­ esting and readable, will bring more > trade than ten dollars in a dull paper^ So long as a paper is not read, It makes ' k] no difference whether the merchant i"f|j has it in an inch advertisement or : .y- column advertisement. ir After deci di ng how to advertise, and K| : where, a man can hardly advertise to% , f liberally. The ra tio of result will l»1 crease more rapidly than the ratio of 4 investment. Oue thousand dollars shrewdly invested will bring much.. over ten times the amount of business ^ to be obtained from one hundred dolla#::f^ equally well invested. The men who , || make fortunes out of advertising are ... SJ men who advertise so largely that their names are household words among all classes and |n all localities where It Is likely they will find customers. Th*:;. man who is likely to find customer^ * only within ten or twenty miles of * given locality, by selecting the news-. paper most read by those whose pat*. ^ ronage he seeks to obtain, may adver* tise by the full page in that paper, and.', .:, a; it will prove profitable. The man who , J- can send goods by mail or express pro* y fltably, and thus fiud customers all ovef: ,,fi the State or nation, cannot, if he select* good newspapers, pay out mere mone for advertising than will be returne to him many times. Yanderbilt onc%, said, when speakiug of this subjectits ./ "The man who pays more fbr shop ren^|J||S| than he does for advertising doesn't un* derstand his business." ^ M&*Rt|Ssia has latterly increased h«r^, exports instead of curtailing thenf * and those who expected the wai* In East to cause an immediately increased!-.viB demand for America breadstuff, as^ . well as an advance in their price, have*-, - thus far been disappointed. Englan^" has certainly imported more wheat amf X, v flour since Russia jieclared war agains| : Turkey than before, but Russia at thmf- - same time, has increased its exports y, these same commodities In a wonder*."-' ful degree. For Instance, the return^ i,) of the British board of trade showfk 4; that the importations of wheat fron% i Russia into England during the montl|. of June last amounted to 65,140,000^ . ^ while during the corresponding montlf v of 1875 their value was only #865,000§* The Loudon Economist In discussing' figures, attributes the comparatively' large supplies of wheat received ii|r England from the East "to tho effect,' > in hastening the dispatch of all avail* : able grain from the disturbed terr| tories, some of It coming by rail through Germany, by the way of Mart* seilles. That it was the war," the ^ editor of the Economist continues,, "and not the recent rise in prices- | which gave this impulse to the consign-^ ^ ments of grain from abroad, may be* / x gathered from the fact that tho* ' J", month's imports of wheat from the nu- ^1' disturbed oountries, notably America,, J are much lesi instead of greater, not«f , ><> || withstanding the high prices." Aiw : i other cause assigned to the exportst -. % from Russia is the depreciation of thei s ^ domestic paper money in that country* v. Paper roubles, which were worth* thirty pencc, English money, each in* exchangeable value when the war broke?*, out are worth only twenty-four pence* now-* depreciation of twenty pe^'V cent.
