It is hard to tell why a politician should talk politics at an agricultural fair, and yet talk agriculture on his own farm, but it seems to be the way. Ex-Secretary Chandler was visited byajotof politicians recently on his own farm-horns, and he took the occa­ sion to say a few things to them they do not often hear. A correspondent, who was present, says that he had something wise to say about farming, as well its something s^guificant about polities, when he addressed his neigh­ bors at his' farm in Michigan not long ago. lie declares that farming was uot only the oldest, tyat the most re­ spectable occupation known to man. "If I Ijad a boy to-day," he exclaimed. U1 would rather put him on ail eighty-, acre lot that had never had a plough or an axe upon it than place him in the best Government office in the land!" Agricultural papers will please copy the remark, and farmers' lads who are growing up dissatisfied with country life, and who canrot overcome a rest­ less desire to go to t city and enter a profession, will do well to remember it. "Mtikc your homes pleasant," con- tiiiu« d ihe ex-Secretary, "make them so ail tractive that your sons aud daugh­ ters will (ove their homes better than any oilier place on God's eaith. Make this business of farming so agreeable that your sons will see that it is the most healthful and profitable occupa­ tion iu which they can engage. Build good houses and buy good implements. Don't get an old cracked cook stove, but put in a good raiige. in fact, have every convenience that you ean;soV that your wires and daughters will deem it a pleasure to perform their household work. In this way you can bring up your sous and daughters on the farm, but wheu you make the home reptilsive, you drive the in into clerk­ ships aud other menial positions, when they ought to be God's aimoioted lords of creation." These are plain words, but they are crammed with hard Sense. THE MONEY THKV' UAVK IN VICAKGK. The French sous, or pennies, and double sous, a'e made of brouxe, aud the quantity of them in circulation is immense. Among the lower classes it is the principal circulating medium.-- On the great fete days, when the price of admisdou to the Exposition was five sous, Jour wngon loads of this broiige mouey were sent'to the Treas­ ury next day. weighing about six tons. The passenger railway and omnibus conduct or* receive nothing but bronze money, and must have cart loads brought iu daily. While this is the case in Paris, it is even more extensively used in the country and the smaller towns. 1 The markets and small shop­ keepers conduct their business largely wi li bronze money. Gold is more abuiudaut than silver in the larger brunches of trade, and government notes are seldom seen of a smaller denomination than one thousand.-- There would seem to be no need here for silver, as the gold live franc and ten and twenty franc pieces are abundant and much more convenient and except- al>le than silver mouey. The silver denominaty>u8 are those of five francs equal to our dollar, two francs, one franc and half franc, equal to our dime. Silver will never be used here except as a means of making change in pur* chases, or anywhere else where gold ami redeemable paper are available.-- Mtris Z-etter in Baltimore American.

BUCKUK * STEVBVS, A SHORT LICMOK Eight years ago the clerk of a Hew Torkbank, whd had been trusted by his employers *nd respected by his friends, disappeared. He had betrayed the confidence reposed in hini,used the money of the bank, and when the ex­ posure, always certain to come, became imminent, had fled. What of him this eight years? He is again in New York and tells his own wretched story, how he exchanged what might have been a life of haplness had he been satisfied with his honest earnings, for oue of misery and unrest. Hear him: "What have I been doing all these years I have been a fugitive from Jus­ tice?" lie said. Well, I hardly know-- I hardly know. J[ have been soauraged by heaven and the devil, and have wandered about fiom place to pla<», an outcast without money and without friends. I have done everything and anything; I have shovelled snow for a living in Canada, I have been cook on board a coasting vessel and have worked as a common day laborer. When I left here I went to England. I wandered about the streets day after day, and felt that I had hot a friend iu the world. Sometimes I Would see Americans that I had known in New York, but none of them seemed to recognize me, although I did not dis­ guise myself at all. I could get no wofk in London. Tlien I went to Paris. I returned to London, tried hard to get work of some kind, and then, with my money nearly gone . took oasage on one of the Allan line steamers for Qucbec. I got a little reckless, and did not care much what became of me." And fco thi« young man, after being for eight years a friendless wanderer and a vagabond on the face of the earth, returued to New York, to expi­ ate hi»sin within the walls of a prison and perhaps to die "there. What a lesson for young men! of Charles Sumner's Unhappy Matrmge. Geo, W. Williams, a colored lawyer Cincinnati, who was for sereral years in the j«w office of Charles Suin- ner, hasrecently given to the Cincin­ nati Commercial his recollections of Sumner's marriage Infelicities. Ue says.*' -• • "Mrs. Sumner was a vivaclonl, at­ tractive woman In society, but the cold, sedate~a*id dignified demeanor of the Senator rendered them a& uncon­ genial as Mr. and Mrs. Dombey. She was fond of the evening parties, and he would soon tire of their gaities.-- Finding no one who could converse with or listen intelligently to him, lie would retire iu quiet to one side and wait solemnly the pleasure of his lady. At times he would become Impatient at her delay, and would make special requests for her departure. They were granted usually at her pleasure, and their return home at suoh times was always conspicuous for Its silence. Mrs. Stminer had been accustomed probably to many indulgences by her first husband, and liked to have the management of her household affairs.-- The arrangements of her husband suf­ fered from this. The clippings he had made from books and newspapers and systematically arranged in rows on the wall, fastened by pins, did not escape her sense of order. "Why," .said he one morning to Williams, pacing in ev­ ident perturbation through his office, '•iny wife has swept all my clippings in to tiie waste-basket," They did noc re­ main together long. One day Sumner came.to bis office with a darker cloud than usual on h|s brow. A little later his wife's father came if, and In tones half of alarm and half of "'inquiry ex­ claimed,'"Alice has goneT %tYes sir," said Mr. Suniner, in a voiee of tragic sternucss, "Alice has gone," and after­ ward he only referred to her from necessity. IABOR AND LIVINU. If Ihe complaints we hear abont la­ bor mean to convey the idea that la­ bor is to be got Hd of, then we may be certain that they will prove of QO ef­ fect. For work is the Common lot off man. We are happier when we are employed, and especially wlien em­ ployed upon worthy objects and ends. To produce, to wring support out of the closed hand of Nature, Is the con­ dition of existence Itself. It may seem hard, but it if through discipline that we should never choose for ourselves, that we gain strength and confidence and power. This dissatisfaction with labor is no good symptom. The prob< Jem for society to solve is, how much labor should be submitted to, and when leisure shall begin. Saving la the ob­ jective point of labor. We work, con­ sciously and unconsciously, in order to gain time, that we may put it to still higher uses. The workingman who keeps that in view will always know why he has to be industrious. Men can subsist themselves in gener­ al on much less than they do. With the enlargement and elevation of the thought comes an improvement In the desires. We eare less for the gratifica­ tion of the senses, and thlak more of the liberty oif the higher portion of the being. Labor is lor a use only. In the first place, before we have got our bearings In life and really understand what it is all about, It keeps us out of the thousand forms of mischief engen­ dered by idleness. After industry has confirmed our habits and got us into shape for usefulness, we begin to cast about to see how it cau be applied to the broadest aud highest aims. Work has thus led us to reflection. It Is then that its sanitary juices begin to tell on the health and growth of the being.-- The farmer at the plow and the me-' cteatiic at the bench is yet |o see how work done by his hands Is a minister to the noblest evolution of all the fac­ ulties of his nature. RKSTOKINQ THK DROWNED. The ruies adopted by the men on the life saving stations for jrestoring lite to drowned persons ace very sim­ ple, as follows: Take oft your coat, roll It into a pillow, turn the man over on b!s face, aud put the pillow tinder his stomach. Let his head be low«>r than his feet; press on the small of his back and the water will run out of his mouth. Press in this way for about half a minute. Press hard, you wbn't hurt him. If his mouth is tilled with mud or sand, clean it out with your finger. His life is at stake, aud you cau wash your finger afterward. Turn him over on his back, put a pillow uiufer the small of his back, straddle him, with one knee on each side, and put one of your hands' on each side of his ribs, low down towards the stomach; press your whole weight upon the short ribs, pressing them downward, and together^ and then let go suddenly. A few minutes of this will make the man gasp. A few minutes more of It arid he will breathe Then give him some brandy. > You will find bargains in Overcoats at Fitzsimmons A Evanson. Raettveneaa In Kwrop*. While U is not probable tnatBurope is to have a general war, yet, besides being oppressed with hatd times-- worse than this country ever saw--hos­ tility is re-appearing and Europe Is In a feverish state of excitement. En­ gland Is remonstrating with Russia be­ cause the Perlin Treaty is not fulfilled and is In reality a dead letter. That Treaty, by which England tried to curb Russia. Is really Inoperative and there seems to have been no adequate means provided for its fullfillment.-- The Powers trusted to the good faith of Turkey, expecting that she would neither dare to forfeit tlielr good opinion, nor run the risk of resisting their decrecs. But the Porte has since done nothing, except under coercion, and continues to olrcumvawt Russia at every step. In fact the Berlin Treaty has not *s many defenders In Europe as It had months ago. In London, the most in­ dependent of the Conservative journals pronounces it a failure, calls tor war and suggests that a Continental alli­ ance be formed at any price. In .Rus­ sia a newspaper of the same type de­ clares that the Russian people are also for renewed hostilities, holding that the Balkan peninsula cannot be organ­ ized on the basis of "humanity and justice" without a fresh war. While many of the European Powers are greatly disturbed and the most en­ thusiastic are for war, yet the chances are that the Berlin Treaty will stand, and if it does there Is no Immediate danger of a European war.

WASHINGTON CORRKSPONDKNgg. WASmwOTOK, D. O. Nor. 2nd, 1878. In and abont the Capital is now ap­ parent an air of busy preparation--In­ dication of a general wakening from the summer drones of the place. As soon as Congress adjourns the Legls- lative halls are stripped, desks cleared, carpets taken up, etc., and now they are beginning to be put In order for the next session. The great Bouse of Representatives will be carpeted next Monday. Then the Speakers desk will be unwrapped, the pictures uncovered, and other arrangements at ooen perfected for the coming meeting of Congress. Members are beginning to arrive and to look up living places fbr themselves and families for the winter. Speaker Randall has been hero this week. He is one of the very few Con­ gressmen who own houses here. His Is ou Capital Hill, an unpretentious House, where he will live quietly tha next season with his family, as he did last winter. .They giv* entertain­ ments--few really expensive ones.-- Mrs. Randall has her regular reception days, as do almost all ladies here, and Jhey occasionally invite a few evening visitors, which constitutes about all their entertainments. Mr. Randall professes to have no fears concerning his re-election to the speakership, but Is reported as saying to a friend that the fight before him looks harder than any in which he ever engaged. * Vf - Friends of the Grant movement 1880 are publishing accounts of General's sppearance and aetioils and ? pi Sons abroad, which are very flat­ tering to him. The King of Spain honored him in every way. Among other attentions paid him tn Spain, King Alphonso rode with him to a re­ view of his troops. pointing out and explaining objects of interest uud In­ troducing him to the most noted Gen­ erals. Col. Forney, who was present, writes of it: "General Grant wore no uniform and it was amuBing to see the unscarred volunteer Generals riding about iu their flashing regalia, while the greatest soldier of the age sat among them, without so touch" as an extra button to designate his stand­ ing. Tite Government officers have expe­ rienced another set back In their light with the Central Pacific railroad ring. The men who robbed the stockholders of that road and the Government la order to build up a grand monopoly to oppress trade, now refuse to comply with the law arid show their books to the Government Auditor as required. And they think they have strength­ ened their hands so that they can con­ trol Congress and defy all opposition, by a new scheme. This is no less ttian a diversion of their so-called Southern Pacific railway of California to a junction with the Atchison, Topeka* Saute Fe road, which is virtually an extension of the present Central Union Pacific monoply. and Is expected to destroy all chance for a Southern Pacific competing line. But Congr§sa may take this matior In hand juid re­ solve to bring this oppressive ring to terms by helping on the work of Ilia Texas & Pacific railway. Many who are opposed to Government interfer­ ence on general principles are begin­ ning to see that justice oan be forced from the present gigantic monopoly only through a competing line, and will favor Government aid.
