In short, "Old AbeV, heart was won by the chicken, and it became his pet. He saw that it went to roost at the proper time, and if the weather was cold spread the warm shelter of his big wing over it. Other white chickens had been thrown In to him, and lie never before or since failed to make a ineal of the®.

The ingenuity of the conceal­ ers was foiled by the curiosity of the isearollers; and it might, have been as well to follow the example of America, where, at the two previous ventures of the sort, the company and its I'resi- dant were mentioned recklessly In the press, regardless ot unpaid results. When we come to look at current athletic sports, we find them overrun and dominated hy business advertising Tl>e British press sought to prevent the Putney-tn-Mortlake course from being metuphorically plastered witii a patent drug advertisement; but what is Wimbledon but an advertising range Its annual pocket book programme, the envy of Creednmor, has its hundred pages tilled with advertising prises.-- To say that the leading gunsmiths, cannon founders, heavy artillery plants and powder factories advertise thers by annual prizes with tlielr name affix­ ed, is nothing; there are pickles ad­ vertised no less than powder, beer as well as batteries, ale with artillery, and there could be advertised sausages as well as swords, and guano side by side witli guns. In this country we And Creed moor turned to the same business account, as the advertisement, through prizes, of newspapers* rifles, revolvers, repeating arms, and even cigarettes and tobacco. We And horse races at Saratoga made the advertisement of hotels; the same at Baltimore. We Hud base ball clubs dubbed with the intuits of business Arms. anM sent to travel, like stray Broadway walking advertisers, as far south as New Orleans and Havai.na.-- We Hod target shooting companies founded by and decked with the names of perennial candidates for office. We find prizes for runners and walkers turned to the account of business. In short, the tendency of modern times is to use athletic sports, from polo to pigeon shooting purely as trade advertising. And this tendency is sure to increase, because, in our util­ itarian age, athletes, work less lor laurel than lucre. Luckily, the .ten­ dency has some advantages. It is probable tnat If a few patent tnetM- clnes or other advertisers would estab­ lish big prizes at Crecdmoor, the eflect on the country's rifle shooting might be beneficial.--New York Sum. as vaiitagesand disadvantages. S^s the farmer, I've tried going west, and don't like It. I never worked so hard in my life as I did there, and I staid there till I got so poor I had to trado of!

Yes say^ the young banker, there may be places In the West where money can be made In hanking by some reckless fellow who is up to all the sharpers tricks, but tor a straight legitimate banking business there is no room, I travelled ' through the west a year or two since extensively, to find a place to start business but the country was full, the banking bus'ness was every­ where overdone. Talk about the pluck to start out West and go in for your­ self: It takes twice as much pluck to settle right down at home and make your fortune here.'* jwro.--»- The faTther yon go West, the greater is the competition. 1 know of comities in the East neaily twice the sise of this, where there are only two news­ papers, and tow us of 300 Inhabitants where there is none; yet this county haimhirteeu; ever}' vlllasre of 500 in­ habitants has its newspaper, and aa you * go farther west they are more numerous.

They send out an elaborately painted car, the interior of which Is arranged for carrying samples of goods. When It arrives In a town, the merchant goas to the car aud selects his goods from the artlctes on exhibition. This new feature In sell ing goods was inaugurated along the main line of the C. B.

The event will be the occasion of most lav­ ish expenditure. The people of the whole country seem to liavecaught the Inspiration and application for rooms and board in Immense numbers are coming from all sections from Individ­ uals military organizations and excur­ sions. Special rates are expected on all leading railroads to the Capital.-- Not less than 100,000 visitors will be called here to witness ths magnificent pageant, ' Those who propose to be present should lose no time in securing quarters. The Bureau of Statistics report a most marvelous ineroase In our agricul­ tural Interests showing a growth of cereal products from 615,000,000 bushels In 1840 to 802,000,000 In 1850, 1,238,000.- 000 in 1860, 1,387.000,000 In 1870, 3,178,- 000,000 in 1877 and 2,431,000.000 lu 1879. The annual product Increased from $3,- 951,000,000 In 1850 to #7,977,000.000 in 1860 and #11,000,#0,000 in 1870, yielding exclusive of labor and wages, a net amount of #2,170,000,000, being nearly twenty per cent on the total. There aro still 400,000,000 acres of land avail­ able north of the Ohio river which can produce In wheat or other cereals at least 4.8000,000,000 bushels annually to meet the demands of our rapidly in­ creasing population. It Is such infor­ mation as this that inspires the people of tlie'old world to seek homes In this republic now Just in Its Infandy. Noth­ ing but a Chinese wall around the monarchies of Europe can stop this cease less tide. More than U000 emi­ grants sailed for America from one single English port lu October. The U. 8. Fish Commission, under the direction of Prof. Balrd, are now distributing the carp hatched here this season In the carp ponds to individuals an«f fish commissions of the different States. Two attempts were made In 1870 to bring a few of these fish to this country from Germany, both of which failed. In the spring of 1877 190 carp were landed for breed ing purposes, and from these have sprung all the flsh of this kind now in this country, and it will no: be long before they will be frown In every State In the Union for C1IKWINGFINLAND NKtSfNUM. The other day a lady of this f&y tloed her colored "help" chewing ] fish--COAd--JJtc, 1 *iy>, Mitrta *"J ne€(llc>- The fady thinking A Washington dispatch of last Friday, says that Mr, Burchard Super­ intendent of the Mint, Is very enthusi­ astic over the silver dollar with the people. Ilo think* that we can go on with the soiuage.at the present rate without disturbing the money market or the relation between the two pre­ cious metals tor fifteen years, or till we ave as many dollars In circulation or in the Treasury as France has ffve- france pieces.,which is about 306,000,- 000. He thinks that it would be possi­ ble to run the business of the govern­ ment without trouble with a gold bal­ ance In the Treasury as low as #25,000.- 000. All that is needed in his opinion, is to have enough so that the govern­ ment can continue to pay out either gold or sliver Indiscriminately when called for, and as long as tills can be done then silver will not depreciate. Experience has shown during thelast few months that the people are really more loth to take gold for ordinary purposes than silver. This, Mr. Bur- chanl explains by the fact that for small amounts in the way of change merely silver dollars are found to be the most convenient, and for large sums the bills are preferable, so that tor actual circulation gold And* no place. Should any attempt be made by Congress to interfere with the coinage of the silver dollar. Mr. Burchard will oppose It streimoiisly. Jobn Sherman now charge! that his defeat at Chicago was due to the opposition of Governor Foster to the proposal of the Blaiue incu to change their votes on the Monday before the nomination. President Hayes lias suc­ ceeded in bringing about a good un­ derstanding between Garfleld and Sherman, and the new executive has ex­ pressed a desire that the secretary re main at ills post. The chief objection of the latter to continuing In fhe treas­ ury department is a hot desire to get even with Foster by balking his sena­ torial aspirations. Garfield's main ob­ ject iu visiting Washington is to Btop the threatened light. ; ggy'l'he report of ComuitaskWier Raum shows that the largest collec­ tions ol internal revenue are made in the First Ohio (Cincinnati) District where, the receipts for the last fiscal year were #11.556.840. Next W magni tude is the Peoria District, the tious in which amounted to «l U-4.o7U Then cornea the First Illinois (Chi^igo) District, in which the internal reuenue recci pis were |8,936.G4l. old that moss grew on its back, yet aa active ac those a y«ar o«i. rue*e nsn grow to weigh 30 pounds and upwards. Only 40 carp were put in Government ponds here at the Capital, and the pto- duct Is over 100,000, which are now about six Indies long. The Ash are distributed In tin cases by four travel­ ing agents, each can containing 100 Ash. The railroads make no charge for freight, the agent simply paying fare. The applicant are required to be at the nearest station, with suitable vessels to remove the Ash to pools pre­ pared for them. Two more large ponds, covering thlr;een acres^ are now being prepared" in the Monument lot, to give Increased hatching grounds.-- The demand Is constantly increasing for this species of Asii food. Shipments have been made already to New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio. Missouri. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Con­ necticut. Tennessee, Georgia and Texas, These young carp were about six incites long, and Prof. Balrd has information that at recent State agricultural fairs where they were ex­ hibited they weighed from one to three and a half pounds each. During fifty days last year one agent traveled 16.000 miles and delivered 7,000 carp, mostly in lots of 16. taking receipts which are always required, giving name and locality, of which a record is kept, in order that correspondent* may be held when desirable to learn as to successor otherwise of the trial. Nearly all the States have commissions, and a general Interest has been awakened iu this Industry over the country since Prof. Baird has Inaugurated his system Candidates for speaker aud clerk of the next House are coming to the front iu sufficient numbers to satisfy the most fastidious. Pennsylvania has three aspirants for thespvrkersblp aud two for clerk and It Is said not to be much of a year for candidates either. The Cabinet and heads of Bureaus are now engaged in preparing their re­ ports for submission to Congress to be in session in a few days. Many Mem­ bers are already here arranging tlielr winter quarters The old system of leaving the family at home while pater fauiilias was having a jolly time at the Capital has fortunately passed away, and th# families of large numbers ol Members form apaitofour cultured winter population. The pastors of onrolty churches have opened a formidable crusade against the District Commissioners who have in the past beeu very iax In the matter of granting liquor licenses. They are seconded and sustained lu this movement by all |the law-and-or- der loving citizens. It Is high time that a halt was called and that this city should be freed from this Iniquitous traffic. It was here that the dark curse of slavery received its first stag­ gering blow, by a provision that In­ voluntary servitude should henceforth be no more in this District. From that honr until Lincoln's proclamation U ' became a olty of refuge for the dares of all the surrounding Let Congress, following the of the noble state of that liquorshaU tieyvr or sold ill the District, and will be a sin He on the solid taoe of figure of Justice on the done of Capital.
