The 500,000 over the total for the preceding Ss-} Johnstons are Kentuckians, the family -- «r toiz -- --' numlwriiig nine persons, the father, Rob­ ert Johnston, five sons, Charles, Thomas, Ira David, John and Robert, the mother and two daughters. On the 16th of last June, Ira, who is lame, and two others visited Black Bock and Fort Erie, where they uttered coun­ terfeit United States Treasury notes. The next day it became known that new five-dollar Treasury notes were in circu­ lation. They were all arrested, and gave false names; but they were identified as the Johnston brothers, well known in In­ diana and Ohio as forgers and counter­ feiters. Ira and Charles were found guilty of uttering counterfeit notes, and the former was sent to Albany Prison for ^ ten years, and the latter for eight years and six months. John Johnston is now in Buffalo Jail awaiting trial for the same offense. David, a printer, is at large, as is also another brother living at Mon­ treal. Ira is an expert engraver, and made plates from which tluited States notes and Canadian notes were printed. The signatures were being forged by the girls, who are all handsome and ladylike. According to Perkins' story the whole family have been engaged in counterfeit­ ing, the mother and two daughters once being taken to Washington on a charge of that description. The father, who is old, sick and in jail, divulged the whole t^Jpg. He is one of the oldest and most successful counterfeiters on the conti­ nent, and his carefully executed bills at one time would come to light in New York, Chicago and other American cities, and then Caaadian bills would go the round of the cities and towns of the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The detectives found in a swamp, five miles from this city, buried in a box at the foot of a tree, seven plates, viz.: Ten dol­ lars on the Ontario Bank, five dollars on the Canadian Bank of Commerce, four dollars on the Dominion Bank, one dol­ lar and two dollars Dominion of Canada notes, and two five-dollar plates on the United States legal-tender. There is a standing reward of $5,000 by the United States Government for the capture of these last two mentioned plates. The whole of them are valued at $15,000. Johnston has been counterfeiting for the paet thirty years. He is an engraver, and his work was so well executed that the American notes passed through the Treasury Department at Washington un­ noticed, and the Canadian bills were as good. They are all well known in Cin­ cinnati, where they plied their business until they came under the notice of the police, when they removed to Canada, where they have been watched for a year. With the arrest of the old man the operations of the gang have no doubt come to an end, and the detectives f-la-im that it is the moat important arrest of counterfeiters ever made on the con­ tinent cat year, or 12Ja pear cent. This percentage is about double the average rale of in­ crease during the previous five years. The largest, actual gain to jiost.il revenue was in, the issues of ordinary postage stamps, which, during the last fiscal year, aggregated £22,414,- 938, Ix'ing an increase of #2,297,fi€9. or 11 4-10 percent., over the preceding year. The issues of newspaper and periodical stamps increased 15 1-10 per cent, the totals being $1,088,412 for the fiscal year 1879, and fl,252,903 for the fiscal year 1880. IT has been decided, at a Cabinet meeting, that the President will not exerciss his discretionary power of withholding the ex­ penditure of some portions of the river and harbor appropriation made at the late session.

It left Falmouth, Eng., 26 days ago The June report of the Department of Agri­ culture shows the following in relation to crops throughout the United States : There is an in­ crease of 2 per cent, in the acreage under o.its, and the condition of the crop is excellent, promising a yield of 12 per cent, greater than last year. The acreage under rye and barley has decreased since 1879, but the yield will be about the same. Clover has an increased acreage; the increase, however, is confined to the cotton-growing States and the Pacific coast. The condition of the crop is not good. Fruit of all kinds will be quite plentiful, much more so than for the previous year. A MINNESOTA physician, Dr. Tanner, maintained that a man could live forty days cm water alone, and to prove the correctness of his tlieoiy went to New York, and, under the watchful eyes of a committee of local doctors, started out to put it to the test A telegram from that city on July 6 reports progress as follows: " Dr. Tan­ ner at noon to-day closed the eighth day of his continuous fast He has lost sixteen pounds in weight since the beginning, and now weighs 141% pounds. For the past two days, however, he has lost only three-fourths of a pound <2»ih . He spent most of his time to-day on his cot and a great de&l of the time lay prone upon his face and stomach. He did not sleep well last night and was unable to-day to make up his rest and along toward to-night he became quite peevish ; and irritable. In the evening he took a walk, accompanied by Ms watchers. THE ninth day of Dr. Tanner's fast in New York was bulletined on the evening of July 7 as follows : At 11 a. m. his pulso was 96, and his temperature 98 3-10. His time was passed in short naps, bathing his head, rins­ ing his mouth, and talking to the doctors. He seemed strong and confident. Lying down about 3, he was very restless, and suddenly §itched his rubber pillow out into the mid-le of the floor. He then quietly fanned , himself with a huge palm leaf. Throughout | the day he called for water oftener than pre- I viouslv, and he caused wet cloths to be placed | upon Lis head and hands. At 6:15 his temper­ ature was 97% and his pulse 80, About 8 he took a toy marble into his mouth to excite the salivary glands. He was pleasant and even in­ clined to joke.

They began their voyage on Lake Erie (Aug. 7, 1679), passed over it, over Huron' and Michigan to the mouth of the St Joseph's river, which they ascended in canoes to the portage, carried these to the Kankakee, floated down that stream and the Iroquois tp the Illinois, on whose banks they con­ structed Fort CrevecoRiir, near the £resent sifca of Peoria. After some delay •a Salle returned to Frontenac for sup­ plies, intrusting to Hennepin an expedi­ tion to the sources of the Mississippi, never explored above the mouth of the Wisconsin. With^ Picard du Gay and Michel Ako, lie set out (Feb. 29, 1680) in a canoe, descended the Illinois to its junction with the Mississippi, and went up that river to the falls of St. AnthoDy. He was the first European to see them, and he named them after his patron saint. Beaching the mouth of the St. Francis, in the territory of the present Minneso­ ta, he journeyed near 200 miles along its banks--he had christened the stream in honor of the founder of his order-- visited the Sioux Indians, of whom he spoke as the Issati and Nadonessioux. He staid with them three months--he says that they kept him a prisoner-- when he encountered a party of French­ men who had penetrated the region of Lake Superior, and went back with them to Canada. He next sailed for France, where he published his two very inter­ esting, though untrustworthy, works on exploration in America. ].«i his second work he claims, to have gone to the mouth of the Mississippi and to have been the first European to float on that river. He was an enterprising, intrepid explorer, but he was also an ostentatious liar. I flow Americans Spend Their Summer Holiday. Here is the summer holiday again.1 What shall we do with it? is more than a dozen years since the hard-worked New Yorker or Philadel- pliian with small income made up his mind that the summer holiday, which was an indulgence to his well-to-do neighbor, was % necessity for himself-- as much of a necessity in the work of the year as the hours for sleep are in the work of the day. So far so good. Now that he is convinced of that, he takes his holiday, but he is aofc yet used to it He corriss the laxuryrnnelurilyt it dis­ comforts him; he does not know how to use it. Having but the one chance to be idle in the year, he is captious about the idleness, and scared lest lie may not en­ joy every moment of it He knows what he wants very well. He and his wife and his children are talking about that at this very moment in a hundred thousand places. He will tell you that he is not hard to please. There are certain essentials, to' be sure, which he must have when he leaves home Jor enjoyment: sublime scenery, pure air, no mosquitoes, plenty of game, milk, fruit, and eggs, congenial society, spring mattresses, well-cooked meals, and little to pay at the end of the ,week --give him these, and he is satisfied. Where he shall go to find them, and, after he has gone, how he was cheated while he was there, afford him matter for grumbling from May until Decem­ ber. Now his French or German cousin over the sea has a hundred holidays in from a squatter and two dogs to our present standing, and well have a lawyer there before long."

A Hartford doctor* now deceased, waq wont to boast of his skill in curing cancers, and ho invariably alluded to a most difficult case he treated in another town. "Most remarkable case," and the doctor ..would close his eyes in a seemingly deep reverie as he uttered the words, and then he would repeat them two or three times in gradually receding tones of voice, like the falling cadence of a dying echo--"most remarkable case; most remarkable case." The old doctor's manner was such as to leave the impres­ sion that the cure was quite as remark­ able as the case. On one occasion a gentleman who had a cancer on his face, had pretty much made up his mind to visit New York for treatment, when he happened in to this Hartford physician's oiiiee, and was so impressed with the "remarkable case" that he concluded to be doctored at home, and went to the doctor's office to make arrangements for the operation. The doctor was out on professional busi­ ness, but his wife answered the bell, and the cancer patient got into conversation with the ladv, and among other things, innocently asked how that gentleman out in the country was getting along. "What gentleman do you refer to?" queried the ,doc tor's wife. "Why, that desperate ease--that 're­ markable case' which your husband al­ ludes to so frequently." " Oh," said the wife, a little solemnly, " he's dead. He died during the opera­ tion." The man left word that he would call again, and then took the next traiu to New York Here is a parallel case: A doctor had discovered an infallible remedy against the cancer. He lately undertook a splendid case, treated it splendidly, and buried it ditto. While lecturing to his anatomical class, he said: "Gentlemen, I am going to demonstrate to you, by the examination of the proper organs, that my patient died cured. '-- Hartford Times.

"I have received a note calling on me to appear to answer a charge; wliat would you do?" "Oh," replied Brother Morris, "I should go by all means--by all means." "But I won't do that," replied the heiress, "not for the world." "Oh, come now, Sister Dora, don't say that If you have done anything wrong it will be forgiven." "Yes, but I havn't done anything wrong. What have I done?" "You had a suit with your brethren didn't you?" "Yes, and I wish to gracious Hhad an­ other one." * "What, with the brethren?" "Yes, with the brethren?" "Don't say that, Sister Dora; we don't want to hurt your feelings, but--" "And I don't want you to hurt mv feelings. If you do you'll go out of my house a good deal livelier than you can e in. I have stood just as much from tLe Mormons as I intent to bear, and if you two offend me any way you will go out of that door which a carpenter put there for just such people." "Oh, we don't want to hurt--•" "Well, then, don't ask me to return to the church; you can't insult me worse than by requesting that" "Sister Dora, think of your father and mother, and--" "Don't speak to me of my father, Mr. continued!, Morris," she interrupted; "you and the whole church know that my father, prophet though you called him, broke many a woman's heart If it is required of me to break as many hearts and ruin as many women as my father did, I should go to perdition before I would go back into the church again, and--" "Oh, Sister Dora!" exclaimed the teacher. "It's a fact, and you know it iB a fact. You know that many of his wives died of broken hearts, and how did he leave the rest? Look at my mother and look at all the rest of them! A religion which breaks women's hearts and ruins them is of the devil. That's what Mormorism does. Don't talk to me of my father; but I'll tell you one thing, if my father were living at present you wouldn't dare to do what you are doing now. You wouldn't have stolen our money from us either. You profess to regard my father as a prophet, and yet you have John Taylor standing in my father's shoes, when you know he is tiie worse enemy my father has on earth. And around him are gathered those brave apostles, all swearing against father, while in his lifetime they couldn't be servile enough. They are brave now."

But in every one of ! these summer homes society tramples him down. It is often a little clique of which he never heard before, "without father, mother, or descent" He may laugh at it as vulgar and ignorant, but it is master of the position; he is" not. In the hottest mouths of the year, when even the beasts in the field lie down to rest, it forces upon him a hurly-burly of fashion gossip, dress, outlay, and weari­ ness, which at home he can manage to shut outside of his own door. He goes back, as a rule, to his shop or office, his gas-pipes mid family table, unrefryshnd, and glad that the holiday is over. But, after all, he goes with the crowd the next year.

The Oleander. This beautiful plant, when under proper culture, is truly a gem among flowers. The best way to root cuttings is in a bottle of rain water set in tne window. The cuttings should be no deeper in the water than half way up to the second joint, and when the rootlets get to be half an inch long, carefidly put in rich, sandy loam.. After the plant blooms, cut back to within a foot or fifteen inches of the ground, when three branches will come out; let them grow until it again blossoms ; after Avliicli cut them all back about six inches from the main stalk, and every time it blooms re­ peat cutting back, and in a few years a very beautiful plant will lie the result; with proper care it will grow more beautiful with age. PCT a man on his honor to pay a debt and a gambler will pay aa promptly as anybody else. Han's Age. die of age. Almost nil die of disappointment, passion, mental or bodily tod, or accidents. The passions kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The common expression 'choked with passion,' lias little exaggeration in it, for even though not suddenly fatal, , strong pas­ sions shorten life. Strong-bodied men often die young; weak men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength and the weak have none to use. The latter take care of themselves, the former do not As it is Avith the body, so it is with the mind and temper. The strong are apt to break, or, like the can­ dle, to run, the weak to burn out. The inferior animals, which live temperate lives, have generally their prescribed number of years. The horse lives twenty-five; the ox fifteen or twenty; the lion about twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the guinea pig six or seven. These numbers all bear a similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow to its full size. But man, of the suiimals, is one that seldom lives his average. He ought to live a hundred years, according to the physical law, for five times twenty are one hundred; but instead of that, he scarcely reaches on an average four times his growing period; the cat six times; the rabbit eA'en eight times the standard of measurement The reason is obvious--man is not only the most irregular and the most intemperate, but the most laborious and hard worked of all the animals. He is also the most irritable of all animals; and there is no reason to believe, though we can not tell what an animal secretly feels, that, more than any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the fire of Ins own secret re­ flection. The Many Races of India. The Calcutta Statesman remarks that, the people of India offer to a stranger a a spectacle more interesting than any of the natural features of the country. Sir George Campbell once had a kind of t» man-shoAv got up for him in Assam, in Avliich specimens of all the different races of that province Avere brought together. A similar exhibition for all India would show us ov er what a motley popidation England rides. Every type of Asia has found its way into the peninsula, and has been there retained. Even the priuces and chiefs brought together in Dubar form a sufficiently incongruous group. The effeminate faces of refined Rajpoots and Brahims, the heirs of the great houses of antiquity, contrast with the marked features of the Malirattas, des­ cendants of low caste robbers. The Afghan stares at his fellow barbarian, a Chinese prince from the other extremity of the Himalayan range. Our army, too, Avhat a study does it present? In eArery battalion there is one constant element, the familiar white face, wliich we at once recognize as English, however disguised by the turban. But the rest is all strange and incongruous.

An Accomplished Blind Mas. There died, not long since, in ir town of Burlington, James GoodselL who, from his birth, during a life of nearly 90 years, had been totally blind. In early childhood, however, Mr. Goof* sell had said that the darkness was, in|k?. few instances, broken by faint glimmer* ings of light. Of four children, he and a sister were blind, the others could see. The sister, though at first possessed of" ordinary vision, soon, by a mysterious-- change, became wholly deprived ofT sight In absolute darkness, the ordin­ ary employments of work-a-day life» would seem impracticable, but this- blind man would swing an ax with the* dexterity (of" a woodsman, and actually felled trees; he was an accomplished grain-threslier, and would frequently go- alone a distance of two miles to thresh for the Burlington farmers, climbing' the mows to throw down the grain; could hoe corn or garden stuffs as well as. anybody, having no trouble to distin­ guish the weeds. He would set 100 bean poles Avith more accuracy than moet- people who can see, would load haj beautifully, and was so good a mechanic^ that he manufactured yokes and other- farm articles with success. He had an. excellent memory and was an authority on facts and dates. He could generally; tell the time of day or night within a- few minutes. One instance is givefl®. when he slept over one day and ftwolafr at evening, thinking it was morning^.' For once he ate supper for breakfast^ but when informed of his mistake slept- another twelve hours in order to get- straight again. He was familiar with forest trees, and knew just where to go for any timber desired. He could direct- men where to find a chestnut, a maple br ­ an oak, and the children where to go f(Mr- berries. He was a good mathematician, and could compute accurately and rapt- idly. In olden days he was quite musi­ cally inclined, and like most blind peoplf he had a genius in that direction. Watcrbury (Ct.) Amerian. Sanitary Sleeping. rf Dr. B. W. Richardson protests againilk the double bed. He maintains that the- system of having beds in which two per­ sons sleep is ahvays to some extent un« healthful. Each little child, even, should have its own little lied. No two children are constituted so as to require the same kind of bed clothing and the same kind, of bedding. "No children or persona- can sleep under the same covering with*- out one being the cause of some discouK fort to the other, by movement, positioQ. or drag of clothing. Beyond these dia- oomforts, however, there is the question of emanations from the breath. At some­ time or other the breath of one of tlie> sleepers must in some degree, affect the other; the breath is heavy, disagreeable; it may be so intolerable that hi waking" hours, when the senses are alive to it, ft would be sickening soon after a short ex­ posure to it. Here in bed, with the sen­ ses locked up, the disagreeable odor may not be realized; but assuredly, because it is not detected, it is not less injurioua. Moreover, under the single bed system- it is rendered impossible to place veiy old and very young people to sleep to­ gether. To the young this is a positive' blessing, for there is no practice more deleterious to them than to sleep Avith. the aged. The rital warmth that is essential for their growth and develop*-*-, ment is robbed from them by the agea, and they are enfeebled at a time Avheon. they ore least able to bear *'•" rnfrnltlft ment" , • 1 ^ Toads* French industry and sagacity take the* lead of the world in little tilings, if noth­ ing more. Toad culture is a regular- business there with the economic people,' and the demand for toads is great and in­ creasing. The useful little animals are- employed as insect destroyers, not only in the gardens of that country, but thousands of them are packed doAvn in baskets of damp moss and sent to other countries to be sold to gardeners. The more observing horticulturists and- floriculturists have long been aware of their value as insect destroyers, and have utilized them to a greater or less extent. And it is not much to the credit of ' American gardeners and farmers that- tliey have never recognized the service of tlus helpful and innocent reptile. Na­ ture conducts her operations by recipro­ cal means, and if she gives us the hurt- fid insects to eat up our crops, she also* gives us the birds, toads, etc.-, to eat up- the insects. The farmer should keep a-, close eye on nature, and seek to make her manifold operations helpful, instead of casting hindrance in the way of de­ stroying her agents. The successful farmer lias great need to be a good eco­ nomic naturalist Many things, as loathe- some looking . as the toad, are the farmer's friend. • IS THE MARKETS. NEWr YORK.
