EASTERN. Railroad Accident. Petebsbukq, Artg. 18. An accident on the Seaboard and Roanoake railroad re sulted in the death of one man and the wounding of two others. Storm In New York. New Yobk, Aug. 18. Considerable damage has been done to buildings in course of erection about the city by a heavy fall of rain. In some instances foundations have been undermined and walls have fallen. In the evening the rain gave place to a heavy gale. Storm In North Carolina. Wilmington, Aug. ! 18. A terrific storm of wind and rain visited this sec tion this morning at 4 A. M. The veloc ity of wind reached 68 miles per hour. A large number of shade trees were pros trated and several houses and sheds un roofed. A British bark is ashore, and it is feared that serious damage has been done to crops. The storm along the Hudson was se vere, and boats and trains are delayed by trees across the track. Great Damage bjr Wind, Haln and Tide. Nbw Yobk, Aug. 19. The storm which yesterday morning was central near Cape Hatteras, has moved in a northeasterly path, developing greatly in energy and is now central near Eastport, Maine. A heavy rain has fallen in New England and the middle Atlantic States. New buryport experienced a storm this fore noon, the severest in ten years. The wind blew a hurricane, wrecking four yachts, badly wrenching Bteamers and schooners in the harbor and scattering about twenty small boats. Fruit trees were stripped and tents, on the beach were leveled or blown into the sea. At Newport between twenty and thirty sail boats are sunk or damaged. The Wanderer and Murritt of the New York yacht squadron parted their chains and went ashore. Three yachts sank at the wharf, and others dragged anchors, fouled and were damaged. The crew of schooner ashore at Cape May deserted the vessel in the evening. Their boats were capsized and the men washed ashore in an exhausted condition. The captain remained on board, and a life saving crew got a line out and remained on duty all night. The velocity of wind at Cape May was sixty-four miles ; the total rain fall 8.46 inches. The crew of a schooner ashore at Atlantic- City were taken from ' the rigging at a this morning by a life saving crew. The vessel will be a total loss. The Storm at Boston. Boston, Aug. 19. Many warehouses have been severely damaged along the river front. The tide was higher than ever known. The vicinity of Water street is only passable by boats, the sight being one unexampled even to the "oldest inhabitant." The handsome spire of the Freeman street Baptist church was blown down, and the slating of Christ Episco pal church and the cornice and steeple were torn off, whilst the beautiful grounds of old St. Paul's are badly wrecked, tireat anxiety prevailed dur ing the prevalence of the storm. The mayor ordered out the entire police force and fire department. The loss is estima ted at from 200,000 to $300,000. The damaire to crowing crops in count ies adjacent to Petersburg is very great. In Surrey county alone the damage tt corn is estimated at 59 per cent. Ocean Grove camp-grounds below Jbong Branch suffered severely. At Gloucester, Mass. , several vessels dragged ashore last night. At other points on New England coast vessels were beached, but thus far no loss of life is reported. Tbe Storm at Blorehead City and Beaufort. New York, Aug. 19. The storm at Morehead City, North Carolina, was the most violent which ever visited that place. At 6 A. M. it blew a hurricane from the northeast, and at midday hauled to the southwest, a change which saved Beaufort and Morehead from entire de struction. The Atlantic house, the lar gest hotel in that part of the country, is entirely demolished, not a vestige being left. There were 150 guests in in it, and there was not a particle of clothing saved by any of them. People did not begin to leave until the waves were literally breaking the hotel to pieces ; then there was a stampede. The young men saved all the ladiqs and children at the danger of their own lives. All the baggage, fur niture etc., went to destruction. John Hughes, son of Mayor Hughes, of New bern, lost his life in the wreck of the At lantic house. Front street of Beaufort is strewn with lumber, trunks and goods. Crowds of people, some barefooted, are trying to identify their property. The Ocean View house the other hotel at Beaufort, is damaged badly and many private houses are ruined. There is no a whan lett in ueauiort. ana oniy two or three of hundreds of sail boats are fit to sail. Morehead City also suffered ter ribly. mineral and Acricnltnral Products or Co orado. New Yobk.

He tola an interviewer yes terdav that since 1859 about 882,000,000 have been taken from Colorado mines, of which S10.000.000 were taken last year. This vear will probably yield 825,000,000.

The fever is more prevalent In localities where vault and other places were openod in early sum mer for disinfection by the sanitary offi cers. Tho board of health delayed work too long, and what thev did only served to resurrect last year's poisons. The an thorities are meeting obstaotas in their endeavors to isolate the infected district. After thorough consideration the com mittee of safety to-day deferred tho sub ject indefinitely. An attempt is making to isolate Chelsea completely by guards stationed along the whole length of Auc tion street, a distance of one mile. Memphis, Aug. 20. Twenty-seven cases in all were reported to the board of health to-day twelve whites and fifteen colored ; four more deaths since noon. Ernest P. Heak, Geo. Von Brinck an.l lion.

The trestling over the run was also burned, and all the trains have been abandoned until to morrow. The Howard Aaeoeletlonta Need of Funds. New Yohk. Aug. 21. Memphis spec ials state that the Howard Association ex pends about one thousand dollars daily and that their expenses are increasing. They have exhausted a twenty thousand dollar balance in the treasury and are without means unless the north respond liberally, as last year. Various secret organizations and notably the Knights of Honor, are working nobly. A Herald special only says : The various relief societies are supplanting Christian churches here during the present crisis Ministers for most part have fled, leav ing their flocks to the ravages of fever. Flan for Aid. Washington, Aug. 21. The national board of health has decided not to fur nish rations to those who remain in Mem phis or other infected cities, and to fur nish rations to persons in camp, under supervision, only for a limited time and under exceptional circumstances.

A terrific storm at the Sea Shore camp grounds wrecked the tabernacle and other build ings. Only two persons reported hurt. Dtstlllere In Convention. Peoria, Aug. 22. Distillers of the western states met in convention at Peoria. The meeting was large and its deliberations harmonious, and resulted in the formation of a national associa tion for the purpose of encouraging the foreign trade in alcohol, collecting sta tistics and ascertaining the consumption and needs of the domestic market. The production of spirits has been greater than the trade demanded, and associated interests agreed to a proposition limiting the production by apportionment as bxed by a committee appointed for the pur pose. Beduction of work will take ef fect on the 1st of September. A Pending Matter. Washington, Aug. 22. The cabinet to-dav discussed the question of arrears of pensions to inmates of soldiers' homes ; but laid the mattet over to permit closer investigation by the attorney general, who is inclined to the opinion that mana gers of homes should be custodians of the funds. Distress among tVorklugmen at Quebec. Washington. Aug. 22. Our consul at Quebec says that 85,500,000 of capital has been wholly wiped out by the failure of the Consolidated Exchange, and Ville Murie Banks, besides a loss to depositors and bill holders of about half a million more : but worse than all is the condition of the working classes. During the ffest winter there was scarcely any employ ment, and it is estimated that there is not less than 7000 workingmen at present out of employment in Quebec and sub urbs. Controversies about the distribu tion of the small amount on work to be done culminated in riot on the 15th. It is entirely a question of bread as repres sion does not feed the hungry. The sit nation is anything but agreeable. Blockade Raised. New York, Aug. 22.

James Dob bins and Michael Burns, farmers and neighbors, Imng six miles west oi here in Kansas, had a desperate and fatal en- eon nter Fridav evening in which both were killed.

As the wheat crop, though of good qual ity, has been somewhat Reduced by dry weather, prices of breadstuff will be high on the lower Danube next vear. The statistical department of the board of trade announces the acreage under wheat at ten per cent less than in 1878 ; under oats, one per cent less, and under hops, five per cent less.

Ashton Cross, secretary of state for the home depart ment, in a speech delivered at Liverpool on the depression of agricultural inter ests in the United Kingdom, said that farmers in the neighborhood of New York were suffering, far more from the great importation of corn and cattle which comes across from their great western states than British agriculturists were suffering from the present depres sion.

He then made hi escape and has not since been found. From evi dence taken before a coroner's jury yes terday, it seems that the Indians had been drinking heavily during ine evening, which caused the difficulty.

She alleges she was married to defendant in 1859, com menced suit for divorce and obtained one on the ground of adultery in 1876, and also obtained an order of the parti tion of community property ; that Nel son in the divorce suit swore the commu nity property to be no more than 870,000 ; that plaintiff was ignorant of the, real value of the property, but has since been informed that it was at that time worth $400,000 ; that Nelson sold an in terest in the firm before the divorce for 8100,000, and has bought it back since the rendition of the decree. She now sues for one-half of 8400.000. less $36.- 000 already paid her. Kalloch va the Chronicle. San Fbancisco, Aug. 21. Kalloch, workingmen's candidate for mayor, having been assailed by the Chronicle, will, to-morrow evening, so he says, come back on the DeYonngs in kind, giving them as good as they sent. He proposes to read the story of Naphtaly's published in the Sun some years ago, with elaborations. DeYoung, so street reports say, sent Isaac, a messenger, with notification that if he read that screed they would shoot him on sight. Kalloch, so it is further asserted, notified De Young's messenger that he would read the article in question, and immediately sent a committee to obtain a copy thereof. Retaliation on the "Chronicle." San Fbancisco, Aug. 22. During the day street talk run largely on expected hostilities between Bev. I. S. Kalloch, workingmen's candidate for mayor and the proprietor's of the Chronicle. That journal continued its attack on Kalloch this morning, including in its arraign ment his father before him. The report ed programme for this evening was that Kalloch would make a general political harangue in the Metropolitan Temple, after which he would adjourn the meet ing to the Btreet and there read the fa mous article on the De Young brothers published in Napthaly's Sun some five years ago. This understanding sufficient to warrant audience to the Temple, which literally packed every square inch of the auditorium, while the Btreet in front was packed for nearly an entire block with a surging crowd. Kalloch 's speech to the indoor meeting dealt at some length with the general political issues, and closed with an attack: of the most bitter and personal character on the proprietors of the Chronicle. The enthusiasm of the andience was such that it was with diffi culty the speaker could proceed. After adjournment, he made his ap pearance outside and was greeted with tremendous cheers. He addressed the crowd briefly, alluding to attacks upon him by the Chronicle, and saying that their assault on the mamory of his father was his justification. ' He applied to them an epithet in which was concentrated the whole animus of the Sun's article. He said he had a copy of that article in his pocket cries of "read it, read it" but did not wish to expend all his ammu nition at once. The article would be re published immediately in the Open Let ter, and next Tuesday evening he would take it up and comment upon it. After a few general remarks he dismissed the audience, which quietly dispersed. It is quite likely that serious trouble may en sue before the matter at issue is brought to a conclusion. A Dastardly Deed. San Fbancisco. Aug. 23. About 10 o'clock this morning Charles DeYoung drove in a coupe to the side door of the Metropolitan Temple where Bev. I. 8 Kalloch has his study, and sent a messen ger to say that a man wished to see him Kalloch went down not knowing who his visitor was. On his approach to the coupe DeYoung shot him through the door, inflicting one wound in the breast and another in the thigh. Kalloch fell and DeYoung attempted to drive off. A crowd collected around the coupe and finally overturned it.but before DeYoung received much damage he was rescued by the police and taken to the city prison for safety. Intense excitement prevails. Great crowds are gathered on the street, and runners are going about calling up on workingmen to assemble at 4 I'. M Kalloch was at first reported dead, but latest reports say he is still alive. Later Details. 4 P. M. Numberless reports are afloat as to the circumstances attendant upon the shooting of Kalloch, but the most di rect story is that CJhas. jjexonng drove to the Metropolitan Temple alone in a coupe, At the time, Kalloch was about stepping into a carriage wim Browne. DeYoung sent au American district messenger boy to him to say that a gentleman wished to speag wim mm, A a Kallnnh annroached the coupe, De Young fired, hitting him in the breast just above the heart, jvaiiocu itgBocu and turned to escape, when DeYoung fti.o.1 noain. hitting him W 1J" Uiu or thigh. It would appear that trouble had wn unticinated -as quite a number of nrnrkincmfln were in the vicinity of the Tnmnie.

In the meantime an officer ar rived on the scene. The crowd seized the coupe and overturned it, and as it went over DeYoung got out. He and the officer were attacked the officer knocked down and trampled on. De- Young was beaten about the head and lace, uiougn not verv senousiv. ine officer, DeYoung and "tha driver qf the coupe struggled through the crowd amid cries of "hang him, kill him. etc. At the corner of Fifth and Market streets two more officers made their appearance. and with their assistance DeYoung was taken to the Baldwin Hotel, and, escaped by another entrance, got into a carnage and drove rapidly to the polioe station, the crowd following. DeVonng van at qnce taken to one of the tank cells, while a crowd numbering thousands surroun ded the prison and evinced a desire to mane an attacK. ine cuiei ui puuee at t it , ml -1 . i - once called Gen. MoComb in consqlta tion. and Attorney-General Tfai who was present, telegraphed to Gov. Ir win ior orders, jno answer has yet been received, as the governor's exact where- aoouts is not Known. Gen. McComb at once assumed the responsibility, and or dered the military to at once assemble at tneir armories, where they now are await ing orders. News of the tragedy spread like wild fire through the city, and the streets were soon crowded with excited throngs. Strong guards were placed over the Chronicle business and printing offices to prevent them being sacked. M. H. DeYoung, who was at the Chronicle office at the time of the shooting, at once sought the city prison, where he is now in company with Charles. For some time it was uncertain what had been done with the brothers, many believing that they had been removed to Fort Alcatraz for greater safety, but they are still at the prison. The workingmen, at the re quest of a committee headed by Clitns Balbour, their candidate for congress, were allowed to select twelve men, who were sworn in as special officers, to stay about the prison and see that the De Youngs were not taken away. Pursuant to a call, the workingmen are now assem bling. It is announced that they will march in a body to prison, demand that the DeYonngs be surrendered to them, and, if the demand is not complied with. will storm the prison and take them by force. It is very doubtful, however, if Buch an attempt will be made, as the au thorities have made ample preparation, and the building will be strongly defen ded. At latest accounts Kalloch was some what easier. One of his physicians in attendance addressed the crowd, saying that there was a probability of his recov ery. On the contrary another of his medical attendants stated privately that he could not possibly live through to morrow. Kalloch 's family are at present out of the city. Kearney has been sent for and will arrive in the city late this afternoon. Great fears are entertained for the peace of the city during the com ing night, and every preparation is being made to suppress violence. Public sen timent Beems mainly to run against De- xoung, partly on account of the manner of his attack, giving his victim no chance for defense or escape, and partly because the Chronicle in its assault upon Kalloch has been abusive beyond all precedent in political campaigns. Arrival of Kearney. San Fbancisoo, Aug. 23. 10 P. M. Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat this evening, and at the wharf was met by a crowd of several thousand, who received their leader with almost frantic exhibi tions of joy. Three of the working men's military companies, numbering 160 men, with rifles and fixed bayonets. were on hand as escort. With Kearney at its head, the procession moved up Market street for the sand lots, filling the street for several blocks and making the air ring with cheers for Kearney and cries of "hang the DeYonngs." The procession on the wav to the sand lots stopped at the workingmen's head quarters on Market Btreet near Fifth. where the ward presidents are in session, deliberating on the course to be pursued. Kearney entered the building and joined the ward presidents. The crowd gath ered around, blocking up the street. The entrance was guarded by sentinels with nxed bayonets, and no one is al lowed to pass without the countersign. It was announced from the window that nothing would lie done without due de liberation, but that vengeance would be taken. No reporters have been admit ted and the nature of the deliberations are unknown. In a few minutes the march for the sand lots was resumed. The Latest All (Auiet. San Fbancisco. Aug. 23. 1 A. M. Everything is perfectly quiet through out the city, and there is not the slighest reason to apprehend any disturbance during the remainder of the night. The crowd in the vicinity of the Metropoli tan Temple have departed except a dozen loiterers, the police and workingmen's guards. Kalloeh'e Condition. At midnight Kalloch was sleeping and had been for several hours. No one is admitted but reporters. His condition is very favorable. One of the police on duty stated that about 7:30 he got an op portunity to look through the window and saw Kalloch sitting up in bed with a pillow behind him. He professed to believe that reports of his critical con dition were greatly exaggerated. Encouragikg Healthy Reading for Boys. The Manchester Guardian gives the following acount of an interesting ex periment which has been carried on for about fourteen months at one of the branch free libraries in Manchester,which the result has been so satisfactory as to warrant an extension of the system at an early date : At the Ancoats Library it was decided to encourage tbe attendance of juvenile readers by the provision of a separate room, containing a judicious se lection or books or that class in which all boys take delight. They are isolated from the general reader in order to pre vent any possibility of annoyance to adults from juvenile exuberance. Special provision was made for their wants, and friendly advice afforded as to the choice of books. The selection made bv the committee included many books of popular science, travels, mograpny and history, while fiction of the healthy type supplied by the works of Ballantyne and Kingston was also provided. At the Ancoats Library tbe average attendance during past winter has been about' 150 each evening. At the Charlton Library tbe attendance has been much higher.averag injj about 230 on each evening, and rising to about 260 on Sunday evenings. It is a curious fact that the amount of fiction read by these juveniles is considerably below " the average ot , libraries of all classes, not amounting to much more than 34 per cent. Another peculiarity is, that while natural history and physics are found more attractive tnan even nis tory and physics and found more attrac tive than even history and biography, "our boys" decline to touch the "dismal science" at all. This.perhaps arises from tbe difficulty of providing popular litera ture of political economy, though it might be supposed that Miss Martineau's capi tal stories might have been used to dif fuse a knowledge of the laws of aocia! economy stilt greatly needed. : Illustrated works take precedence in point or de mand, aud then follow: the narratives of the fairy world, including the varied "Adventures of Alice in Wonderland." Care has, of course, been taken to exclude all books of a doubtful tendency, and to provide those that are bright and healthy in tone. The writings of the lady known in literature as "Hesba Stretton" are ex ceedingly popular, and perhaps the most popular of them is "The Wonderful Life," a biography of the Founder of Chris tianity. , Of all domestic fowls, says the German- town Telegraph, the goos is tbe longest lived. One died a few davs ago near Bal timore that was hatched in 1824, on tbe dav that Lafavette visited that city, and during the fiftv-three years ot its life, its owner now living at an auvancea ago, re lieves that she has realised from feathers and goslings between $500 and 600.

Debts of the Southern States. Numerous inquiries as to the debts of other Southern States, their amounts, and compromises made, will be best answered by giving all tho information we possess on the subject: The debt of Alabama in 1873 was 89,452,669; real and personal estate, tax basis, 1117,486,581; tax, 70 cents; amount raised by tax, $827,399. Arkansas, debt, 84,153,035; un funded debt, $13,967,012; tax basis, $94,000,000; tax, 60 cents; amount raised by tax, $457,450. Florida, debt, $1,348,272; tax basis, $30,000,000; tax, 90 cents; amount raised by taxation, $225,000. Georgia, debt, $10,644,500; tax basis, $235,659,530; tax, 50 cents; amount raised by tax, $1,129,900. In 1872 Georgia annulled $10,477,000 clearly fraudulent bonds, leaving the debt at that time $11,550,500, recog nizing $5,708,000 of the Bullock bonds. Kentucky's debt is only $1,852, 841; her tax basis, $357,326,013; tax, 40 cents. Louisiana's debt, 1878, amounted to $12,660,443; tax basis, $174,500, 000; tax, $1 45. The amount raised by taxation in 1378 was $2,473,629. Mississippi, debt, $2,954,458; tax, 50 cents; tax basis, $12,700,000; amount raised by taxation, $634,701. Missouri's debt in 1879 was $16, 758,000; tax basis, real and personal, a little over $6,000,000; tax, 40 cents; amount raised by taxation, $2,843,953. North Carolina, debt, 1878, $27, 120,228; tax basis a little over $148, 000,000; tax, 38 cents; amount raised by taxation in 1878 $533,635. South Carolina's debt in -1878 was 6,739,696; tax basis a tittle over $125,000,000; tax, 45 cents; amount raised by taxation, $715,982. Tbe debt statement in 1874 was $17,017, 651, of which $9,540,750 was bond debt; $2,679,293 floating debt, and $4,797,603 contingent liability. And this statement did not include $5,695, 000 bonds issued for conversion of State securities under the act of 1869, which even a Republican Leg islature declared issued without authority. The amount given as tbe debt in 1878 is that left after a fair jndicial investigation by a conrt cre ated for that purpose. Texas's debt in 1878 was $5,073, 861; tax basis, $257,632,000; tax, 50 cents; amount raised by tax, $1, 356,170. Virginia's debt in 1873 was $29,- 350,326, her tax basis, real and per sonal, $322,569,631; tax, 50 cents; amount raised by tax, $2,500,000 per annum, bmce that time a settlement has been proposed which is abso lutely demanded by inability to pay. We have not the details of that set tlement at hand, but it is ranch more favorable to tbe holders of tho bonds than that of Tennessee. Tennessee's debt and interest is $24,857,115; the debt as scaled will amount to a little over $12,000,000, the interest to about $500,000, re quiring a tax of less than 35 cents on the $100, in addition to the amounts from other sources, such as privileges and the $100,000 from railroadsto pay this and ordinary expenses. The tax basis in 1878 was $223,212,153, and the amount raised in 1878, was $626,529. It will be seen at once from this that Tennessee will bear after this settlement lighter burdens than any Southern State, even after Louisiana secures her redaction of interest to 3 per cent, for 15 years, leaving tbe principal intact. The question per tains to ourselves solely. What is right, just, and the best policy for ourselves, is the sole question; but if anyone chooses to look to other States for light, he will find that everything points oat the reception to this settlement as the best possi ble coarse to take. Nashville, Tenn., American, July 18th. An Indiana Woman Who Wanted to Mabbt Hayes. Two peculiar cases of insanity were developed here to-day. The first was that of a young lady who gave the name of Emeline Noble, and her residence "Indiana," who called upon President Hayes this morning and informed him that she bad arrived u ac cordance with her promise to marry him. The President said he would have to consult some of his friends about the marriage, and managed to get ont of the room. She was then taken in charge by an officer and conducted to Police Head quarters. She was rather finely dressed. and had just arrived m the city to-day ,and seemed bent on being married, senator Voorhees, upon being informed of the case, and happening to know her par ents, requested that she be sent to tbe Government Asylum for treatment, ene will be sent there to-morrow, in tbe meantime being provided with quarters in a hotel, bhe had with her 8zu, which she parted with reluctantly, although she was told it would be kept safe for her at police headquarters. She ap peared very mad because the President did not marry her, as she had imagined he would, and said u he had not con sented by his silence in not declining the offers she had sent him in letters, Bhe would nave married a young man in Indianapolis. Miss Noble is about 27 ears of age, and is not at all bad looking, and, besides, is well educated. The other case was that of a young lady who gave her name as Mary Virginia Coburn, who waa found roaming about Georgetown, bhe is about the age of Miss Noble, and arrived at police Bead quarters about the same time. She was also on a similar errand, but did not seem to have any particular man in view to marry, though she said she was very anxious to marry some one. She told the officers that she lived at Bockville, Montgomery county, Maryland. She will be sent back to Bockville to-morrow; in the meantime, being quite violent. she is kept at polioe headauartera. It appears she has been about Georgetown ior several days. isaUimore Sun Wash ington jjeuer. A Hcmmixg-Bird's Nkst. Recently i humming-bird's nest was found by some persons who bad sufficient natural curi osity to overcome their compassion, and wno captured the nest, two young nam men and theold one, took them home and had them stuffed.

Tbe little birds are about the size of bumble bees, very pretty, and they sit on a little perch just outside the nest, with open bills, while the old bird hovers over them to feed them. Ghzabeth (N. J.) Journal. Co-0eratle ia UousekeeplHg. Says the New York Times: The man. who. to an inquiry how he cam a in mam- an Irish girl, replied that marrying an American one would have compelled him to hire an Irish girl to take care of her, showed what is coarsely known as "horsel sense," if he looked only to the question of getting necessary work done; for, by some unexplained law of compensation, it does not seem to be practicable to get brains and muscles in the same body. The dexterity, nimbleness, readiness ta emergencies, and tact, which are charm ing in the woman of to-dav, are obtained at the price of physical strength; what, in New England, is called "faculty" has lost much of the endurance that onoe made it effective. Miranda knows per fectly how to do, with the utmost of neat ness and good sense, and at the minimum of labor, every detail in domestic life ; but her strength is insufficient, so she must call in Bridget to crucify her daily. She is the brain; Bridget is the muscle; but the mnscle will not obey. Bridget is can't, won't and don't personified. She has been dunning the eyes, flecking the y hair, thinning the hands, clouding tho brightness and shortening the days of her American sister during the last quarter century. The race of servants if it is really written in the order of creation that there shall be such a thing is still a barren ideality; events have not yet pro duced it. There is no relief except in lessening the dependence on servants by so reducing domestic work that it may be done by very small f amilies, and that upon all it may bear less severely. There seems to be less opportunity for applying in practice the co-operative principle, which is simply to do in one place, with especial facilities, some of the heaviest portions of work as if dons by the gas companies distributing the results an1 uuiiiU.:. n - v r r --"w"k me means.

UUVCIB. oicre. are very tew establishments to be found which carry out the idea, which is. to utilize machinery and dispense with muscles, as in everything else that ia done economically. There has been a laundry m Troy for many years which receives and returns articles by express chiefly collars and cuffs over quite an area of country in three States at least. In towns sufficiently compact it might be practicable to extend the plan further to cooking. The late M. Blot devised a scheme of that sort in both New York and Brooklyn, but it failed, for some reason we do not now recall. In using the word . co-operative, however, we do not mean that the scheme should necessarily be a mutual one, like a co-operative store only that it shall secure concentration. Better administrative ability would be necessary, and more practical difficulties might arise in carrying out the mutual plan than in letting private ownership do everything. On the other hand, the partly co-operative scheme, if it once conquers success, has manifest advan tages. It is impossible to deny, how ever, that any way which should dispose of the washing and ironing, and lighten the cooking, would go far to change domestic life for American women. Co operation has left housekeeping alone hitherto. Is there 1 not a, -treasonably promising field there for giving a new' turn to it? FASHIOS'4 r a NCIE9.

Truth is stran ger than fiction.and reality often more ro mantic than romance. Christine Nilsson is to-day one of the most popular and gifted of our songstresses; not many years ago she was a little girl running about with bare feet and ragged clothes on the estate, in a remote part of Sweden, of Baron Lcbeusen. Her father was a "topare" of a baron a peasant, that is, of a class but little removed from serfdom, which lives, each man ' In his cottage, on a small plot of ground, in consideration of which territorial possession every top-ire performs for his manorial lord a certain amount of work once a week. On free days tbee man can make by their labor about half a dollar a week not very mu nificent wage,but then the Swedes are an economical race and live on the produce of their own little patch. The Barone Leheusen was passionately fond of music, and thus it chanced one day that in pass ing topare Nilsson's cottage she heard her daughter singing one of those popular songs that had been handed down to our own times by generations of the Swedish peasantry. The Baroness, struck with the sweetness of Christines voicetopped, listened and finally bade her come up to the castle. Here this modern edition of a fairy godmother herself gave the girt elementary singing lessons, and after wards sent the promising eiri to complete her education at Paris. When Christine was fairly launched upon the worl.l of song and had achieved success, she de voted the first money earned to re-bnild. .
