Who rolxs the household of repose.
And pulls your hair and tweaks your nose,
Then neais will) Kisses uu your wues.
Tliebaby! Who stalks about in papa's hat,
Ana spnin nut milk, and nulls the cat,
And patters 'ronnd from 'his to that?
Tbohahy!
Who shuts its Angers in the door,
And thumps its head njxin the floor,
Till it has "Bumps" a lialfa ncore?
TTte rainy:
Who slyly w -arching, climbs the stair
Seeking newer fields of mischief there,
Plotting mamma with tear and care?
The nany !
Who strews tho toys about the room,
And makes a "pony" of the broom.
And tries to sing the "latest tunc?"
The baby!
Who leaves upon the floor so neat,
The darkened print of little feet,
Yet looks so innocent and sweet?
The baby!

So often winB its own swwt will,
By dint of kLssuig-Coariig,till-You

And keeiM you young tlough head be gray?

A gentleman direct om Labrador
on the 12th, gives inAirmation about
the eil'ects of tlie recent storm on that
coast. At Indian Tickle six persons
were killed by the allinc buildings.
Six squarerigged vcsfels off the harbor
were lost with their crews. The fish
ermen lost all their codliver oil, of
which they had accimulated a large
and rich quantity.
Telegrams from Sireveport to the
12th state that cightoeti deaths occurred
from yellow fever there on that day,
and the disease, which is of a malig
nant type, is on the increase. Whole
families are down witli it, and all the
nurses worn out.
The following telegram, from the
Mayor of Shreveport, wuj received by
Senator West on the I3f : Our peo
ple were panic-strickli. All who
amid leave have left. The poor are
nearly all on our hands. There is no
money in the city treasury, and all
pecuniary aid will he thankfully re
ceived. 'The fever cases are increas
ing." At the city of Yankton, Dakota
Territory, on the evening of the 12th,
Gen. Edwin S. McCook, Secretary of
Dakota Territory, and P. P. Winter
mute, a hanker of that city, got into
an altercation in a billiard room in the
St. Charles Hotel, when McCook chas
tised Wluteratute. The latter subse
quently procured a revolver, and later
in the evening met McCook at a rail
road meeting which was being held at
'J hotel, nud shot him in the left
breast, the wound proving fatal, Mc
Cook dying at 7 o'clock this morning.
Wintermute was arrested.

Kennyan, Cox & Co., bankers and
brokers. Wall street, New York, sus
pended on the 13th. Daniel lrew was
a special partner in the house, it is
said, and rumor has it, tliat the failure
of the firm was caused by operations
of Drew.
The N. Y. World of the 13th admits
that its announcement of the day be
fore, of the death of Mrs. llolladay was
erroneous, and says she is convalescent.
This morning's advices from her resi
dence, confirms the statement that she
has been very 111, but Dr. Sayre pro
nounced her condition improved. The
principal difficulty seems to be a nerv
ous depression and melancholy, con
sequent on the sudden death of her
daughter, Countess de Pourtales.
A book kept by the United States
District Attorney In New York con
tains the names of nearly five hundred
merchants of that city who had to pay
from $10,000 to lO(J,O00 to compro

Custom-IIouse-Detectives.
A Sthakge Disease.- Intense ra
diation of heat in the great desert of
rNinara prcuuees extraordinary euects
on insects, as well as animals and men.
When a caravan starts out to traverse
that wide waste of desolation, flies
tollow on in prodigious multitudes, at
tracted, no doubt, by odor from the
animals, but they soon drop dead by
intensified heat. Fleas burrowing in
hair, straw or .sacks are killed oft
rapidly. But the most singular of all
is the malady to which men are in
cident after' being exposed a short
time to burning sands and a vertical
sun in this arid and life-forsaken region.
It is called 'ragie, and is a kind of brain
fever. The stricken traveler is de
lighted, amused and made extremely
happy by exhibitions of fantastic
fcrrjJl. He Seei minigos, Hilm trees,
groups of tents, sheeny mountains,
sparkling cascades and misty forms
dancing delightfully before his en
tranced vision. From all that can be
gathered upon the subject, it appears
that a certain condition ofatmosphere,
wholly free from moisture, with in
tense solar heat, produces an effect on
the brain very similar to hasheesh.
Both exalt the nervous system, and
speedily destroy all desire to exist,
deprived of the natural excitation of
the brain.
Deep Sea Cukkents. The princi
ples involved in the circulation of the
waters ot the sea were beautiluily
shown before the Royal Geographical
Society by a simple experiment. A
trough with plate-glass sides, about
six feet long and a loot deep, but not
more thf.n an inch wide, was filled
with water. At one end a piece of
ice was wedged in between the sides
to represent the polar cold; while the
tropic heat was represented at the
other end by a bar of metal laid across
the surface of the water, the project
ing end of which was heated with a
spirit lamp. Bed coloring matter
was then put in at the warm end, and
blue at the cold end, so that the cur
rents could be traced. The blue water,
chilled by contact with the ice, immedi
ately fell down to the bottom, crept
slowly along, and gradually rose
toward the surface at the equatorial
end. after which it gradually returned
along the surface to the starting point.
The red water crept first along the
surface to the polar end, then fell to
the bottom just as the blue had done,
and formed another stratum, creeping
back again along the bottom and com
ine to the surface. Each color made
a distinct circulation during the half
hour in which the audience viewed the
experiment.
A Good Story-Teller. The New
York Sm't St. Paul, Minnesota cor
respondent "Wandering Minstrel," in
a late issue of that metroplitan journal,
says :
In Minnesota it is so cold that even
St. Paul freezes up. The people out
there warm their hands by a lump of
ice. It is an a .vful cold place. There
was a friend of mine out there last
winter : he went to chase a bear, but
the bear chased him. He wasn't
afraid, only be climbed a tree to get
out of the way, leaving his gun on the
ground. The tear longed for a savory
mess, and not knowing that he chewed
tobacco and drank nun he did picket
duty around that tree until my friend
drew forth his whisky flask from his
breast and poured it down on the gun.
The whisky lroze in one solid streak
from the flask to the gun, and ray
friend took hold of that frozen streak
of whisky and drew his gun up hand
over hand, and shot tne tear. For
the truth of this, I refer you to St.
Paul, Minnesota.
The Walla Walla Betmlsm: '-We
have conversed with many of our far
mer friends, and from them we learn
that the average yield per acre, includ
ing volunteer crops, will not tall short
of 35 bushels. The highest yield we
have heard of is one field ot forty acres
producing teoenty-tlifee bvshd wr cure,
while many other farms have yielded
from 45 to 05 bushels. The surplus
of wheat alone in this valley this year
we hear estimated variously at from
600.000 to 1,000.000 bushels. We are
willing to accept tte lowest figure.
Of rye and oats, we place the vield
and surplus at one-half that of wheat.
Hie price paid for wheat in tills city
is 40 cents, delivered at Wallula, 60
cents per bushel. Flour, per barrel,
is p. Owing to lack of facilities for
transportation a large amount of grain
will be held over until next season.

Facta or Interest.
It may be ot interest to our read
ers to learn of the cost, earnings
and profits of American railroads,
the operations of which aie given
tor the year 1872. The total cost
of railroads is put at $3,159,423,
057. This is made up ot $1,678,
844,113 of capital stock, and $1,
511,578,944 ot different kinds of
indebtedness, mostly of bonds ma
taring at distant periods. The cap
ital stock amounted to 52 15 per
cent., and the debt to 47.86 per
cent of the entire cost. The esti
mated cost per mile of these roads
is $55, 11C. The gross earnings
for the year were $473,241,055.
Of this $132,309,270, or 28 per
cent., was received lor the carry
ing of passengers, and $340,931,
785, or 72 per cent., for the trans
portation of freight. This gave
$8,256 per mile. The rates of earn
ings to population was $11 76 per
head. The operating expenses for
the year were $307,486,682, or 65
per cent, of the gross receipts, leav
ing $105,754,373, or 35 per cent.,
as net earnings. The percentage
of gross receipts to the total cost of
the roads was 15 per cent., and of
net earnings, 5.2 per cent. The
amount paid in dividends was $64,
418,151, or 3.91 per cent, of the
aggregate capital stock. The bal
ance of net earnings, $101,336,222,
was equal to G.70 per cent, on the
aggregate indebtedness of the roads.
IntUitu AflMra In Arisoun.
Indian affairs are reported in a
bad state in Arizona Territory.
Gross mismanagement is charged.
The agents are not all regarded as
dishonest, but an outside pressure
is forcing them to receive supplies
ot an inferior quality at extrava
gant prices, thus exhausting the ap
propriations long before the year it.
expired. This, it is conjectured,
will compel many of the Indians to
leave their reservations, whicl
would amount to a practical undo
ing of Gen. Crook's labor. Much
sacrifice of work, money and life
have been expended in punishing
those Arizona Indians for their
crimes, and in getting them on res
ervations. Now to have the latter
work almost if not entirely annulled
throucrh the mismanagement, or
fraud of agents, is both lamentable
and trying to patience. We hope
the report is not true.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, one of
the ablest statesmen now living, was
for a long time rendered prematurely
decrepit by paralysis of his lower
limbs, so much so that he was com
pelled to use crutches. Lately he
has returned to Washington from
spending several weeks at the hot
springs of Arkansas, greatly im
proved. He now walks without
crutches, and his cheeks are rosy
with health. His friends could
hardly recognize him, so great han
been the transformation.
