Cheerfulness. Of all their surface qualities--I use the word "surface" not as excluding "substance," but rather implying it-- none is more noteworthy among the Japanese than their cheerfulness at work. It is a quality shared by all classed and common to all employments. The Japanese statesman dictates a dis­ patch or discusBes a Cabinet question with a smile on his face; the financier, more astonishing yet, smiles over the intricacies of a deficient budget; the preacher smiles during every pause in iiia sermon; the writer at his desk; the shopkeeper smiles while chaffering with his customer, the servant on receiving his master's orders, the smith while forging the metal, the potter manipulat­ ing the clay, the husbandman as he wades knee-deep in mud across the rioe fields, the bargeman propelling his clumsy boat against wind and tide; nay, even the convict at his forced labor by the roadside. And, what is more, a very flight occasion will broaden the smile into a hearty laugh. All this is true and genuine good humor, based firstly, no doubt, on a good digestion, but also on a remarkably elastic temperament, great courage, and the sound, good sense that everywhere and everyhow makes the best of things. Had Mark Tapley been somewhat more of a gentle­ man in manners, he might have scripts n of the fetters indicated in the resolu­ tion of request of the 6th inst., and has also supplied the suppressed parts of the letters previously laid before the House. Most of the letters furnished were written by the chief of the Pern speculators--Mr. Jacob R. Shiplierd-- to Minister Huriout They are epistles of a most extraordinary character. They rep­ resent Shipherd, In bis character of chief agent of die Peruvian Com­ pany, as having tike most intimate and confidental relations to a large number of distinguished public men and great capitalists. Among the former were U. 8. Gr*nt. John Sherman, J. D. Ouneron, hoscoe Coukling, Senator Blair, Senator Eugene Hale, Seuator Dawes, Collector Robertson, ex-St-nator Eaton, George 8, Boutwell, Scott Lord, A. S. Hewitt and Marshall Jewell. Among the latter were E. D. Morgan, Hugh McCullough, W. H. Yan- derbilt, W. L. Koott, Sidney Dillon, W. W. Astor, Howard Crosby, and fifteen or twenty other notable capitalists, bankers, etc. It is not represented that all these persons stood in the relation of share-owners, or as having any direct interest in the Peruvian Company, but that audi of them as were not were expected lo become interested. It was by their enlistment that the Peruvian Company was to be made "strong in its personnel," as the great pro­ jector wrote to Marshall Jewell. It appears to have been thought essential that tbe great. Peruvian Oompanv shou'd be not only "strong in rts personnel,' but strong also in the number of its newspaper organH, of which it was to have had one in Chicago, one in Cincinnati and two in New York. Th© conspicuous men who are represented •• being drawn into the scheme, by an interest of some sort, are George 8. BoutweSI, Senator Blair, Scott Lord. ex-Senator Eaton, U. 8. Grant and Roscoe Conkling, For the satisfac­ tion of Mr. Hurlbut, who probably had ex­ pressed doubt of the respectability of the Peru­ vian Company, Shipherd informed him that " our staff of oounsel" included the above-named gentlemen. Boutwell "has pre­ pared a conclusive brief in support of all our demands." Blair is "the intermediary be­ tween the Secretary [of State] and myself when I am away from Washington." The spe­ cial office of Grant seems to have been that of guide, philosopher and friend. " Most radical suggestions of policy as yet suggested have the hearty autograph approval of Gen. Grant, who is now one of us. The significance of this you need no aid from me to estimate." Judge Lord had also prepared a brief for the compa­ ny, in,which " Boutwell concurs and Eaton substantially concurs." What active service the other members of the " ptaff of counsel" performed does not appear. nialsler Morton'» IVaac lavelv«4> A Washington dispatch says: There are daily new developments in the South Amerioan com­ plication. Some days since there was pub­ lished, from advance sheets of the Chili-Peru correspondence, a letter from Levi P. Morton, United States Minister te France, from which it appeared not only that Mr. Morton was very anxious that Peru should not be dismembered, but was conferring with President Grevy with a view to a possible union between France and the United States to'iprotect the respective in­ terests of French i&d Amerioan citizens in Peru. This letter of Minister Morton bears date Aug. 11, 1881. Mr. Blaine, in reply, rejected any entangling alliance with a European pow­ er. It appears that ten days after Minister Morton had sent his letter to Mr. Blaine, the firm of Morton, Bliss A Co., of which Minister Morton is the senior and chief member, en­ tered into a contract, in the city of Paris, France, with Pedro, Louis and Henry Gant- reau, of Paris, the representatives of the So- cieie Generate ue Grtuit liiuuSuialf st Com­ mercial, for the sale of the guano and nitrates ceded to this company by the Peruvian Government. This contraot was negotiated through Robert E. Randall, of Philadelphia, brother of the ex-Spei iker. It provides, in substance, that Morton, Bliss A Co. shall become agents of this French com­ pany for the sale of the nitrates and guano ceded to that company by the Peruvian Gov­ ernment. • For this service Morton, Bliss A Co. are Jo receive a commission of 5 |>er cent.

Mr* B tyard introduoed a resolution that the Com­ mittee o:i Foreign Relations inquire into the charge that persons officially connected with th© Government of the United States have I remised intervention in the controversies in South America in connection with guano contracts. A lengthy discussion took place on the bill to restore Mark Walker to an army Lieutenancy from which he was dismissed for drunkenness, it being finally recommitted. Mr. Van Wyck spoke on tbe necessity for an investigation of alleged fruds in the township- survey system. The Immediate Deficiency Appropriation bill was passed. When the nomination of ex-Senator Conkling as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court was read in ex­ ecutive session, this afternoon, a motion was made to take it up for immediate confirmation. Senator Hoar thereupon took the floor, and warmly said that, while he conceded Oonklhig's freat abititee, and that no man since Webster ad surpassed him te intellectual force, he be­ lieved Conkling had awed his power# for bad purposes, and he did not believe him honest. "His ilcvstion to the Supreme bench," said Mr. Hoar, with grewt'esntement of manner, and pounding his desk with emphasis, 11 would be a. disgrace to the judicial ennine and he therefore interposed objection to present con- fiidet&tton of the nomination, and insisted that it should take the regular course of reference to the Judiciary Commi tee. Senator Ingalls made a short speech defending Mr. Conk­ ling in a measure, as also did Senator Teller. Senator Teller said that, what­ ever might be said about Mr. Conkling, no one could say he was a corrupt man. A single objection being sufficient lo prevent immediate consideration, the nomination was accordingly referred .to that committee under the rules, without opportunity for debate or any reply to Mr. Hoar's remarks. The nomi­ nation of ex-Senator Sargent as Minister to Germany was then referred to the Commit­ tee on Foreign Rotations, under objection to its immediate consignation, which was in­ terposed by Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, un­ derstood to be friendly both to him and Conk­ ling, but who desired to prevent the appearance of any distinction between the cases of the two ex-Senators. The House adopted a reso­ lution that the Committee on Foreign Affairs inquire into the allegation that certain papers connected with the Chili-Peru­ vian correspondence, which are supposed to show the improper connection of one trmore Ministers of the United States wit ti business transactions for which intervention was ex­ pected, have been lost or removed from the files ©f tbe State Dt-partmeiiT.

A Washington dispatch of Feb. 34 says: The sensation at the capital to-day was the nomina­ tion of ex-Senator Conkling, of New York, to fill the vacancy on the Supreme bench caused | by tbe retirement of Mr. Justice Hunt. When | the Intel igence was -first circulated few per- I sons would believe it, but wendtd their way 1 to the office of the Secretary of the Senate for ocular proof, by examination of the mani­ fold copy of the list of nominations. Generally, when the Vice President receives the list from the President's Private Secretary, one or two 8ena ors will take interest enough in tbe document to superintend its removal from the envelope, and to-day formed no ex­ ception to this 1 ule. As the first name on the list met the eye of the presid ng offleer, he ele­ vated his eyebrows considerably mid took a second look as if to reassure himself that it was not an optical delusion. The news spread like ; wildtire, and from the conversation of the groups of Senators the spectators in the galler­ ies rightly inferred ttiat something unusual waa transpiring below on the floor. The sheet of mamlold was suddenly in great d<mand, and the grave Solons swarmed around the table of the presiding officer with tbe same eagerness I depicted on their faces that a troop of school boys would exhibit when the prize roll ia opened for the first tune. When it was also learned that ex-Senator Sargent had been selected ioi the vacant mission at Berlin, instead of, as had been believed by his friends, the portfolio of , the Interior Department, the astonishment and comment was increased. It was ttie general verdict thai notwithstanding all rumors to the contrary, the President was capable of keep­ ing his own counsel, and had a shell suddenly exploded in the Senate chamber it could not have created more excitement or contusion. | Advices from Ufcksa state that Mr. Conkling declines to say anything upon the question or accepting the Supreme Court Justiceship. It is believed in New York by many of the leading lawyers that he will decline the office. Gentle­ men who know something of his business en­ gagements say that he has been retained upon eases * nongh to employ him busily for a year, and upon which an income of at least $100,- 000 is assured. So urgent are his engagements that he is reported to have reoen ly declined to go to St Louis to argue a railroad esse for which the extraordinary fee of $2,000 a day had been offered him. France. fOBTT-SEYEOTH CONGRESS. The Senate held no session on the 18th. Th* House took np the Immediate-Deficiency bill, which appropriates $1,822,983. Mr. Singleton resented charges of extravagance brought against the Printing Committee of th@ last Con­ gress. In regard to the clause for additional vaults in the treasuries, Mr. Hewitt character­ ized the silver dollar as a fraud, while Messrs. Stephens and Marsh declafed it the true unit j of value. The bill passed by 155 to 26. * Mr. Hale made a favorable report in the Sen­ ate, Feb. 20, on the House Apportionment bill, but objection to its immediate consideration was made. Mr. Saunders introduced a bill to improve the navigation of the Missouri river, and Mr. Windom a measure for the erection of a public building at Duluih. Mr. Call offered a resolution favoring a congress of representatives of the American repub­ lics to settle the controversy between Chili and Peru. Mr. Logan called np the bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired list, favoring the measure on it6 merits. Mr. Vest objected that Grant was rich and the precedent would be a bad one. Mr. Butler said Grant had not asked for retirement, and would reap no honor by the measure. Mr. Logan replied that tbe act would be appreciated by the beneficiary, and the bill would soon be pressed to s vote. In the House Mr. Hewitt rose to a ques­ tion of privilege to announce that the u»e of his name in connection with the Peruvian com­ pany waa entirely unauthorized. A bill was- passed to authorize the loan of tents far a soldiers' reunion at Grand Island, Neb. Bills were introduced : To provide for the redemp­ tion of defaced silver coins at face value; for the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi near St Louis ; to force the use of material from tbe same State in the construction of public buildings at any point, and to transfer to a Philadelphia associ­ ation 100 oondemned cannon for an equestrian statue of President Gartield. A bill was passed to refund duties paid on certain copies of the revised Testament, as also one to promote the efficiency of the life-saving service, and an­ other to refund to Japan #1,770,340 oi the in­ demnity fund. Mr. Dawes presented a petition In the Sen­ ate, on the 21st, In behalf oi the Indian tribes, and called attention to the fact that 100,000 citizens of influence had signed similar appeals. Mr. Plumb favored less sentimentality, and hoped to sect the relations of the Government to the Indians placed on a practical basis. The House Apportionment bill was passed. Mr. McMillan introduced an act to set apart a portion of Montana for certain Indian tribes, and to pay each $51,000 per an­ num for ten years. The resolution that the Arrears of Pensions law should be repealed was tabled by 26 to 23. The Senate, in executive se*sion, confirmed John C. New as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, P. B. 8. Pinch back as Surveyor of Customs at New Orleans, and W. G. Frye as Consul General at Halifax. The House of Representatives adopted a reso­ lution that the Secretary of the Interior report the gross and net earnings of the roads now comprised in the Union and Centra! Pacific lines since the commencement of operations. In committee of the whole on the Fostoflice Ap­ propriation, an amendment was agreed to that mails shall be carried on the fastest trains without extra charge, under penalty of a loss of half the compensation. Mr. Singleton was defeated in an effort to aecuse steamboat mail- service throughout the season of navigation between St. Louis and St PauL It was agresd that not more than $25,000 per year should bs paid to the St Louis Bridge Company. The bill t« retire Gen. Grant came up in the Senate Feb. 28. Mr. Bayard moved to amend by providing for the payment of a quarter sal­ ary to each es -President for life, but it was re­ jected. It was agreed that the proposed re­ tirement shall be additional to the number au­ thorized by law. The bill then passed, by 35 to 17, David Davis and four Southern Senators voting for the measure. This will give Gen. Grant $12,500 prfr year for life.

Drugs may change the form of a disease, i. e., modify the terms of the protest; but the law cannot be baffled by complicating the offense; before the drugged patient ctn recover he has to expiate a double sin--the medicine and the original cause of the disease. But shall parents look en and let a sick child aak in vain for help. By no means. Something is certainly wrong, and has to be righted. The disease itself io a cry for help. Bu* not for drugs. In­ stead of " taking something," oomethiug ought to be done, aad oftener something habitually done ought to be omitted. If the baby's stomach has been tormented with ten nursings a day. omit six of them; omit tea and ooffee from the young lay's menu; stop the dyspeptic's meat rations, and the youngster's gram­ mar lessons after dnner. But open the bedroom windows, open the door, and let your children take a romp in the gard n, or on the street, even on a snow- covered street. Let them spend their Sundays with an uncle who has a good orchard, or send for a barrel of apples. Send for the carpenter ind let him turn the nursery or the voodshed into a gymnasium. In oaae ou have nothing' but your bedroom aid kitchen there will still be room for i grapple-swing. If the baby won't stop ;rying something ought to be done abo it it. Yes ; and as soon as possible. Re: love the straight- Jacket apparatus, c raddling-clothes, petticoat, and all; sp ead a conple of Disastrous Floods. A rain-storm unprecedented in its -wide­ spread area and disastrous effects swept over the West, beginning about the 18th of Febru­ ary and ending about the 22d. The storm, it seems, began away out in Texas, and moved slowly northward, completely inundating the countiy as it progressed. At St. Lonis we hear the first serious results of the deluge. For nearly forty hours it poured down a steady torrent, the rain-fall in that time reaching the. extraordinary average of seven inches. All the water feeders of the Mississippi, in a large re­ gion of which St. Louis formed the center, were soon racing torrents, and the Father of Waters itself soon began to swe'l" its volume st an astonishing rate. For twenty-four hours the great river rose at the extraordinary rapidity of six inches an hour. The levee was covered with large piles of [merchandise, - and all the available help, m the city wajr bulled thither to remove the goods from the threatened danger, but with only partial s^cce^s. A large amount of mer­ chandise wasjwamped by tne waters aud either swept away or seriously damaged. The loss will amount to many thousands of dollars. At Cincinnati and Louisville similar soenes were witnessed and Similar losses are recorded, j The Ohio river, swollen by the numerous trib­ utaries, overflowed its banks in an incredibly I short time, sweeping away hundreds of thou- ; sands of dollars' worth of property, and busi- j nesB of every kind was completely paralyzed for i the time being. At Cincinnati all the rolling mills I and foundries stopped work, and neariy aii tne 1 factories located near the river. In the foun­ dries the damage is very serious, for the reason ; that it will require at least s xty days to dry I out the molding floors and get them 1 into proper condition for use again. Throughout Missouri, Central Illinois and : Central and Southern Indiana the disastrous j effects of the storm were felt. All the rivers, j creeks and rivulets were flooded, and, spread, ing over the adjacent country, swept away fences, and damaged the growing wheat.

Ind., the damage was very great. All the shops and factories along the river were forced to suspend. Jeffersonville, Evansville and othor points along the Ohio river also sustained serious damage from the flood. Railroad traffic at many points in Illinois and Indiana was par­ tially abandoned through the destruction of bridges. Along the Lower Mississippi immense dam­ age has been produced by the breaking of the levees and the inundation of vast areas of country, and planters are enduring great hard­ ship from the loss of live stock by drowning. The city of Helena, Ark., was completely drowned out. The greater portion of the town was several feet under water and the streets were navigated in skiffs. Serious Ions of life is reported in connection with the storm. At Paducih, Ky., five persons who lived on a flatboat wero drowned, as was also a man named Little, who went out in a skiff to their rescue. Near Helena, Ark., six children were drowned on the plantation of the lateCol. Ellis. Chas. Washington, colored, when he found that the plantation would be overflowed, put his wife and six child re u in a dugout to take them to a place of safety. He had just started when the dugout, capsized. AH the children were drowned. Washington and wife were saved by clinging to the capsized boat A man, named Green, was drowned near Helena, by the oapsizing of a small boat. Near Carlinville, III., two young man named Rhodes were in a house when the creek rose so rapidly that they were surrounded by water, and they attempted to escape, when one of the boys was drowned. The other managed te climb iuto a tree, and staid there all night in a snow-storm. The Flood In the Lower miMrtaolppl-- An Awful Inundation* MBMPHIB, Tenn., Feb. 28. A deplorable condition of affairs exists throughout the Lower Mississippi vsliey. Thou sands of men are on constant guard alrng tl e levees between here and Vicksburg, using every possible means to strengthen their power of resistance and elevate their cres's, to prevent the water from inundating the whole country. Washington, Issaquena, Bolivar, Coahoma and Tunica counties, Miss., and, in fact, the whole shore line between Memphis and Vicksburg on the Mississippi side, and the whole eastern shore of Arkansas, are ei'her under water or threatened with inundation. The ^inhabitants of a vast area of country are in great distress. Many have been forced from their houses, and are subsist­ ing the bc.->t they may on raft-", and some on knolls or parts of the old levees. The destruc­ tion of live stock is beyoud calculation. The waste of property by the great submersion is outside -the limit of present computation. Navigation of the river itself is regarded by Attain!,oatmen as dangerous at its present sta^e on account of the gre .t expanse of water hi many localities and the billowy chiracier of the waves when the surface is swept by heavy gusts of wind. Between Cairo and Memphis the lollowing points of land are only visible above a surging flood : the liluffs at C.iluimms, the bills back of Hickman, land on the Ten­ nessee side opposite Island 10, New Madrid, Point Pleasant, Tiptonville, Fulton bluffs. Itaur dolpli, Richardson's, Islands 36 and 8ti and Dean's island, above the head of the Centen­ nial cut-off, forty miles above Memphis. Gov. Lowry, of Mississippi, has appealed to the people of Memphis and other cities for aid. A sad accident occurred on the Tyronza, a small bayou, which empties into the St. Francis river about twenty miles above Madison, Ark. The high water hud overflowed lands belong­ ing to a Mr. Jamison, and, while en­ gaged in removing his wife and six children to a place of safety on the high lands, the dugout which contained them capsize ), drowning all the children, two of whom were grown young ladies, the remaining four being aged from 6 to 14 years. Jamison saved his wife, but could render no assistance to drowning children. Starting <la tl e World. Many an unwise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life for the purpose ot leaving enough to give his children a start in this world, as it is called. Setting a young man afloat with money left by his relatives is like tying bladders under the arms of one who cannot swim; ten chances to one he will lose hifi bladders and go to the bottom« Teach him how to swim, and he will never need the bladders. Give your ehild a sound education and you have done enough for him. See to it that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made subservient to laws which govern man, and yon have given him what will be of more value than wealth of tbe Indies. f Writing a0» Spaca.* There are innumerable stories told of the irrepressible conflict between litera- tuer* and editors, particularly in France, on the subject of measuring copy. Dumas, La Martin, and a dozen other writers are credited with inventing the monosyllable paragraph, and Buloz and many another editor with devising the plan of paying by letter to head them off. The editor of a New York weekly may be credited with a not less ingenius idea when he secured the services of a female writer much in vogue at a liberal sum per column of nonpareil type, and set up her articles in long primer, an­ nouncing that they oost him so much per column. When Ponson dn" Terrail, however, was running one of his " Resurrections of R icambole" through the Petit Jour­ nal, Polydore Millaud, the editor, sont for him one fine day, and said to him firmly, though kindly: " beerhere, my dear fellow, I pay you very liberally, but it is rather an imposi­ tion on good nature to run in suoh stuff as this when you are paid by the line, and if you keep it np I'll have to pay you by the letter," and he pointed to the lar.t issue of the paper; Where the/eulf- liton began aa follows : . " Who?" "II" "You?1' "Aye!" " Begone!" "Never I" He shuddered. "Oh, very well, I'll soon remedy that," said the author pleasantly. He did, and when Millaud received the next installment of the story he was stupefied to find that it read as follows : " ' Y-you a-ar-are en-en-end-end-eav- eav-or-ing to d-d-d-de-c-c-c-e-eive-eive m-m-ni-m-me, v v-v-vil-l-lain !' said the old corsair, in a thundering tone. "' I n-n-n-nev-nev-never d-d-d-deo-c-c- c-eiv-eiv-ed a-a-a-aiiyb-b-b-bod-dod-bod- dy!' exclaimed Baccara, imitating the defective pronunciation of his inter- luctor.

" ' Y-y-y-you sh sh-sh-shall n n-n-ne- ne-nev-never kn-ku-kn-know!'" "The scoundrel!" gasped the,editor, " every mortal character in the novel halt taken to stammering and using big words." ' Harwegiaag at Table. Table manners are at a low ebb in Norway. Consistency does not seem to be regarded as a jewel The same peo­ ple who bow so very ceremoniously to each other and express sympathy and interest in the veriest trifle of life, and who dance and grimace fully five min­ utes at an open door before they can determine which shaH enter first, are exceedingly ill-bred during meal time. Their knives wander so far down their throats that one must at least admire their courage, though failing to appre­ ciate its object. In these feats they rival the professional knife -swallowers of Bombay. They hold their forks like pens. Even a four-tined fork is Mot considered too unwieldy to use as a toothpick. All knives are put promis­ cuously into the butter dish--which in­ deed is never provided with a separate implement. Ai*o when epoona nee furn­ ished for a public dieh a Norwegian generally prefers using his own. Eggs are sucked from the shell. The people eat most voraciously, displaying the ap­ petites of tigers, and making disagreeable noises with their, mouths. They rise and reach across the table for something you could readily pass them, and some­ times a person gets up and walks to the end of the table for some particular dish he fancies. When the plates are changed at the end of a course .the knives and forks are apt to be simply wiped by the waiter upon a towel in t'iril sight, and then conip'acently returned to yon. And yet it was the Scandianvians who won from Voltaire the praise of being the "Frenchmen of the North," on ac­ count of their punctilious politeness. Kind-hearted and well meaning, but surely somewhat deluded old man.-- Norsk, Lapp, and Finn, by Frank Vin­ cent, Jr. Relative Size of States. The figures commonly employed to in- •dicate the area of the several States of the Union have been 'found to be incor­ rect, and the Census Bureau has issued an extra bulletin correcting the preva­ lent errors so far as it is possible to do so from the data at hand. According to the old estimate tbe area of tlie United States, exclusive of Alaska, is 3,026,494 square miles. According to the new estimate it is 3,025,600, of, which 17,200 are coast water of bays, gulfs, sounds, etc.; 14,500 are made up of the areas of rivers and smaller streams, and 23,900 of the areas of lakes and ponds. There remains a total land surface of,about 2,970,000 square miles. Vir­ ginia, in the old estimate, has a total area of 38,348 square miles ; in the new, 42,450, including a total water surface of 2,325 square miles. It is of interest to observe the wide contrast in area between, for example, California, with her lie,360 square miles, and Rhode Island, with 1,350; or between Massachusetts, with 8,315 square miles, and Texas, with 265,780. Arizona has 113,- 200 square miles of surface; Color­ ado, 103,925; Dakota, 149,100; Mon­ tana, 146,080; Nevada, 110,700; New Mexico. 122,580. Delaware has 2,150, and the District of Columbia 70.

" How do you come to ask six dollars for this load of firewood, when John Smith your neighbor, offers the same kind of wood for four dollars ?" waa the question Gilhooly asked of the man in charge of a load of fuel in Austin. '• Well, you see I am going to be in­ dicted for stealing this wood, and I will have to pay a lawyer to prove my inno­ cence. That's why I have to charge two dollars a load extra." " Doesn't John Smith steal his wood, too?" "Certainly he does. He cuts it off the same tract of land where I got this." " Well, doesn't he have to hire a law­ yer, too, to prove his innocence." " " Of course not. He is never indioted by the Grand Jury." " Why don't the Grand Jury indict him ?" " Because he'* always appointed fore­ man. He has got more influenoe than I have."--Texas Siflings. Branainuss is at the bottom ot all v ADDITIONAL HEWS, A Turn dispatoh: The a4ws flWMB Bulgaria ia ty BO means reassuring.

The other day we tried to write a story for a literary weekly. After having read two hundred numbers of the weekly, to get the "style," we wrote the following nameless love scene between the hero and the heroine : He--" Do yon love me?" She--" When did l tell yon?" He--"Yon have not yet, but do you love me?" She--"Have yon been going with Mary Morris?" He--"No: why?" She--"I thought she might have told you I bought some caramels the other day. Did she?" He--"She did not! Bnt tell me, dar­ ling, do you love me?" She--"Oh, I ask you, doyoulove me?" He--" No, darling, yon do not ask me-- She--" Then if I don't ask yon, who dolask?" He--"Yon must ask yourself, do yea love me?" She--" Well, who's to answer, if I aak myself ?" He--"You must answer, darling." She--"Is that all I've got to answer. --darling." He--" Yes, darling," She--" Well--darling!" There was a pause .of sixteen seconds, and then he folded her (she was a regu­ lar map heroine--fourteen folds) in his strong arms, and just at that moment the angry lightning broke from the clouds, and striking the lightning-rod on top of the house, and descended harmlessly into the ground. The lovers have never known, to this day, what they escaped. --Fitzgerald. What Canning IHd Not Kaow. When the late Lord Westbury ob­ served of one of his contemporaries that he had not a single redeeming vice, he made a remark that was far less cynical than it would at first sight appear to be. No man can live up to the best which is in him. To expect a human creature to be all genius, all intellect, all virtue, all dignity, woiild be as absurd as to expect that midnight should be all stars. Curi­ osity about the minor incidents in the lives of great men is to a certain extent legitimate, and even profitable, but there is, perhaps, on one day at least, some danger of its being carried too far. To find the great on a level with ourselves may gratify our vanity, but it may some­ times lead to very erroneous conclusions. , We have often been struck with the significance of an anecdote' which Hookam Frere once related to his nephew about Canning: "I remember one day going to consult Canning on a matter of great importance to me, when he was staying at Eufteld. We walked into the woods to have a quiet talk, and as we passed some ponds I was surprised to find that it was a new light to him that tadpoles turned into frogs. 'Now, don't you,' he added, 'go and tell that story to the next fool you meet.' Can­ ning could rule, and did rule, a great and civilized nation, but people are apt to fancy that a man who does not know the natural history of frogs must be an im­ becile in the treatment«of men."--Tem­ ple Bar, WITH a population of but 25,000,000 England annually consumes 500,000,000 pounds of cheese, while the United States, with a population of 50,000,000, consumes but 275,000,000 pounds of cheese annually.
