llCH CHANDLERS HEROISM. How •« th» life of Hl« uw. DMghter, and wh«t He Bnftred ii Con* Mquence. Robert sfc psrfiossl fncud of Secretary Chandler, of the Interior Deportment, gives, in a letter, to the Batibmy AfeiMj this interesting account of au iBcideni 5u the life of the iaiier which. explains the sanguine hue of Ma facer Perhapa rtm would like to know some­ thing or Zach Gltiandler. Ton and I have beard and read a great deal about him, and it's time we knew something of him. He is a great bi$ man, about six feet lour, and about sixty years old. He aad Horace Greeley were born within a oat-call of each other, auu still no single man did as much as Zach Chandler to defeat the philosopher for the Presi­ dency. He has a lumbering, heavy walk, of certain stride and steady gait. He carries an alternate white and red face in front and high, a cane in one hand and a bundle of paper in the other. He never He is always on stroke for my stook in the pasture sinea, but there has been a oonOBtlous stream ) suuiuug IB, uid «roUij!i s!> the w&£. Tbs trough is about one foot below the sur­ face of the ground. I think this is better on louuuii; of not Ireeziag. The ground on the east aide of the trough is scraped out so the stock have easy access to the waller. A shallow iiteh carries the water 00 from the lower end of the trough. I consider this the bast improvement 1 over made on my farm. Doubtless others will improve on this. This is my first experiment, but the principle m a good one.--W.

He spits every eight minutes --always to the left, seldom straight, and with the same regularity that punc­ tuates his every action. High and in front, like the figurehead of a great ship, .. he carries his great, broad head and va- . negated, fi&ce. On a cold day his coun­ tenance beams almost like the red glare of a locomotive head light. Hinety-nlne • men who pass Mm oa a frosty morning make ninety-nine remarks freighted with the information that "Old Zach has had hi& bitters."' But, O Lord, how this world is given to lying I This red face has a history, this crooked spitting has a reason, and I will give you both. It is now seventeen years since Zach- ariah Chandler, being remarkably suc­ cessful in business, built for his family a new and elegant house in Detroit, When nearly finished he moved into it. On the first evening, immediately af­ ter the gas was turned on and lit, the smell of the escaping gas aroused the family and servants, and search was made for the leak. The daughter, now Mrs. Hale, then a child, with a lighted candle, detected it in a closet off the back parlor. The father knowing the danger of an explosion, hurried to the ciloset with .a, servant, took the candle from the daughter's hands and shielded her just in time to reoeive the full blast himself, burning his head, neck, and hands almost to a crisp. The nose, ears, eyes, lips, and flesh of the face were so completely cooked that old Zach em­ braced the opportunity and murmured through his blistered lips, "Bring on your cannibals. I'm cooked." A phjsi- -- ulau was iiaXuediatcly seiit for, who aitcl a few moments' examination shook his head in the most unhopeful manner. With a fortitude which characterizes Mr. Chandler to this day, he submitted to the examination, and at the close de- vO I'noTr ibis *3^12.6 cian, Dr. Clark, wisely endeavored to postpone the giving of his opinion until the next day, but Mr. Chandler insist­ ing, the doctor reluctlanUy answered his questions. "Well, doctor, my nose feels bad. How about it ?" "Mr. Chandler, you'll lose your nose." "And my ears, I suppose, too?" *1 am sorry to say, yes; thqy at* completely cooked through." "My forehead--how about that?" " Well, I don't see how the skin will ever grow there again." /SMy lips?" "The upper lip, Mr: Chandler, I ahull have to take almost completely off. " "That's bad, for a man to lose his upper lip. Won't the under one do ?" " I am sorry to say I shall have to re­ move a portion of that also." "Eh! Well, go on." " There, that will do. Ill know bet­ ter in the morning." " You can't leave me until I know alL Go on, doctor, anything else ?" The doctor hesitated. 44 Go on, doctor, my eyes ?" "Your eyes?" "Yes. Go on." " Mr. Chandler, you mil lose the sight of both eyes." ' " That's enough, doctor, you can go now." - Nearly a year passed before Zachariah Chartdlor ~rss seen on tho streets of Do­ ll t i 1 again. No one could recognize jTila cscopt by his voice and immense frame. His face, round, lull and muscular, was shrivelled and muscle- less. His heavy jaw, indicative of firm- Bess of purpose, was almost without a shred of flesh. And as he said himself, • he was "the most thin-skinned man in the whole Northwest." Such is the history and the reason of his, red faoe and crooked spitting. t To Get Running Water on the Prairie. I have lived in" Linn County, Iowa, • three miles southwest of Cedar Rapids, ' on a dry prairie farm, for eleven years. My only method of watering stock was by drawing or pumping water for them all Last August, during a dry spell, my well in the pasture got very low, so J'I had to contrive some plan to furni h more water for the stock. My plan was this: To go up to the head of a slough above the pasture. The well is in the meadow, six rods above the pasture. I dug the well and ditch at the same time, . so the water would run off and not ob­ struct the digging. The right grade or fall was easily found in this way. The well is eight feet deep, ditch twelve rods long, well one foot deeper than the upper end of the ditch, ditch dug as narrow as possible--so as to be able to work in it. The well is curbed up with first quality of pine fencing, the curbing reaching ome foot above the surface, so that dirt cannot wash in. The pipe, or spouttagj, leading from the well down the bottom • of the ditch into a large trough in tho pasture, is made of the same quality of fencing, ripped up in strips, two and four inches wide, which makes a spout two inches square on the inside. Pieces of spouting sixteen feet long. The ends are mitred together in white lead. A small piece of board is imbedded in the mud under each joint. After the spouting was all completed and the water running a steady stream-- ' faster t.han one cow could drink--I filled ' the ditch in with team and scraper, scattered on some grass seed, and put a tight platform on the well. The work was complete in about one week, all done ^ with my own This was done in August, 1875, and I have not pumped a f T i n t WHEAT SUPPLY/ i fhn Ou&nttty in> Sight--With an Average Season to Gome, Prices Hut Come Down. At least aaoh is the opinion of a Ca­ nadian, who writes the following letter from Kingston, Canada, to the Chicago Times ; As much interest prevails, especially on this continent, as to the probable de­ mand for wheat, I take tne liberty of sending you a few very carefully com­ piled figures, showing that the quantity in sight is ample to supply every want to the end of the present cereal year,and prices in your market must decline unless the weather here and in Europe proves -most iHipsropitlous for .wising eereale. At the commencement of the present cereal year (Sept. 1, 1875), the stocks of foreign wheat and flour in Great Britain were equal to 1,100,000 quarters ; im­ ports to Feb. 23, 1876, were 7,723,830 quarters, and the out-turn of the market­ able home-grown crop, taken at a mini­ mum estimate, is 10,500,000 quarters. There is at the present date 1,066,650 quarters afloat for direct ports and ports of call in the United Kingdom. This is exclusive of steamer shipments from America and sail and steamer shipments from the Baltic ports. Last year's consumption of wheat and flour in the United States was equivalent to 21,350,000 quarters. Suppose we compute this year's consumption at 22,- 000, UUu quarters, which leaves sav 2,000,000 quarters to be provided, and 1 do not think England will experience any difficulty in getting this quantity even at much lower prices than are at present offering. Odessa alone has nearly 2,000,000 quarters' (most of which is of the 1874 crop) in store, which must be shipped in the spring. Remember, France is not a competitor with England this year (as she has been for the past two or three years) for for­ eign supplies ; on the contrary, she can easily afford to export over 2,000,000 quarters, and is only waiting until thu growing crops present a favorable spring appearance to do so. I am strongly of the opinion that nothing can prevent the downward ten­ dency of wheat, except war or a wet and cold spring and grammar. I yours truly, Mabk Lah% The Finance Problem--An Original Idea. Some politicians, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, anxious to avoid the perplexities which finance brings into national politics, have suggested a novel method for the re­ sumption of specie payments. They propose to leave it to the decision of the United States Supreme Court. That court has determined that the issue of the legal-tender notes was lawful in time of wai: to meet the eiigeaoies of war, but this original act provided that they shall only be reissued while the exigency re­ mains in foroe. It was held that the ex­ igency was the necessity of collecting a forced loan, and that, when a legal- tender note is returned to the Treasury, in liquidation of a tax, it oonveyed to the Government a title to the thing bor­ rowed; by its issue by the Treasury it is, therefore, not money, but only evidence of a debt paid, as much as a receipted bill. If reissued, it works the collection of a new forced loan in time of peace, when no exigency exists, and it is insist­ ed that such reissue is unlawful upon the reasoning by which the court justi- the original issue in time of war. It is not improbable that the question may be brought before the Supreme Court very soon, by the refusal of citi- to lo&civw iit payiikeajit o£ & legal-iandsr notes reoenllf issued from the Treasury, and bearing a date which is itself sufficient evidence the* were i~Ta.cd since tho oxigenqy for which they were allowed has ceased. Wasbingtoniana. The following description of Wash­ ington's personal appearance, written in 1778, says an English newspaper, "by a native of America/" contains some 47th year oi ins age. lie is a tail, well-made man, rattier large, and has a tolerably genteel address. His features are manly and bold; his eyes of a bhiish cast and lively ; his hair a deep brown ; his face rather long, and marked with the small­ pox ; his complexion sunburnt and with­ out much color, and his countenance sensible, composed and thoughtful. There is a remarkable air of dignity about him, with a striking degree of gracefulness ; he has an excellent under­ standing, without much quickness ; is strictly just, vigilant and generous ; an affectionate husband, a faithful friend, a father to the deserving soldier, a gen­ tleman in his manners, in temper rather reserved ; a total stranger to religious prejudices which have so often excited Christians of one denomination to cut the throats of those of another, in his morals irreproachable; he was never known to exceed the bounds of tha most rigid temperance." " A vabmeb" propounds to us the fol­ lowing problem : " A man borrows $100 for five year's with interest at 10 per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually, but pays beside the interest a bonus of $8 for the money. To what rate of in­ terest does this actually amount?" He receives $92 and pays $150, which leaves $58 as pay for the use of $92 for five years, which is at the rate of $11 60 for that sum for one year, and $11.60 is nearly 12.7 per cent, of $92. Our an­ swer, therefore, is that he pays a fraction less than 12.7 per cent, interest. The question of the time of the payment of the interest or the bonus has, in our judgment, nothing to do with deter­ mining the rate.--Sioux City {Iowa) Journal. EXPORTING COTTON GOODS. Unexpected Success off the Vail River. Movement--A Steady Demaa* from Kag- land for Cotton. The Fall River correspondent of Boston Journal writes mat the benefi­ cial results accruing from the shipment of cotton goods to England are becom­ ing every day more apparent, and the outlook is decidedly hopeful and en­ couraging. The success of Mr. George f. Hathaway's visit toJBnflaiicI is fliown in the great activity and busy bustle among the Fall River mills. About 15,000 pieces of print cloths--one-eighth of the entire production of the city--are now exported each week, and for these goods oetter net prices are received abroad than at home. It has been raid that the Fall River manufacturers sought by this movement simply to "tide over" an vnusually depressed period, and the inference has been dra^m that with the return of a brisk home demand they would gladly throw the goods back again into the home channels. But the devel­ opments that have arisen from the en­ deavor have given to the project © degree of certainty and of permanence that the manufacturer themselves did not antici­ pate.,-' They expected to sell mainly the 26-inch goods, which are two inches nar­ rower than the American make, and to manufacture which would involve very little change in their machinery. They are now sdling these goods and receiv­ ing as high a price as the 28-inch goods bring in this country, while the cost of making is mnch less" The wider styles of print cloths to mtteh in vogue in England, the 32, 34 and 36-inch goods, they 'did not expect to sell. But the English buyers offered such desirable prices for these goods that the manufacturers decided to make such changes in their machinery as would furnish a stated supply. Bat larger orders have been received and are yet coming forwards and several corpor­ ations are now placing their mills largely on thin kind of cloth. Manufacturers elsewhere, moreover, are consulting with, spinners respecting the preparation of their mills for similar goods, and in neighboring States arrangements to make a like description of cloth for ex­ portation have been or are being made. These tilings, therefore, indicate that the manufacturers feel assured that the movement lias in it elements of perma­ nence and stability, and they are now taking means to form an association and to agree in any event to ship abroad a certain portion of their production. The superiority of these goods, as compared with those of English manufacture, is readily apparent. They are made of better cotton, are firmer, and of much handsomer texture. The grtods on the other side are so filled with siting that when they come to be printed the shrinkage is enormous, averaging, it is said, fully one-fifth, while the shrinkage of the American cloths is comparatively trifling, nvoiii^iug ui the OuUml^ iiul over 5 per cent. In fact, ao high an opinion li|ve the English manufacturers of the cottons made on this side that they not unfrequently place upon their foreign shipments the American trade mark in order to dispose of them to better ad­ vantage.
