Duty Is tlie pswer which rise with us in
the morning, ami goes to rest with us at
night. It is coextensive with the action
of our intelligence. It is the shadow which
cleaves to us, go where we will, and which
only leaves us when we leave the light of
life.
Paper bottles are coming into use quite
extensively. Their weight is less than
glass or stone ware and they are less liable
to breaking. Fluids stored in air-tight pa
per botties will withstand a more intense
degree of heat or cold than when pjt In
ordinary bottles.
Notices have been posted in the exten
sive carpet mills of E. S. Iligfjins & Co.,at
West Forty-third street and Eleventh ave
nue, New York, of a reduction of the pres
ent working force of one-half, from and
after Monday next. Six hundred hands,
male and female, will be thrown out of
work. And this too just after the people
have voted to return the republican party
to power. Can a man of sense believe his
reason f .
The markets of the world have been de
rided and sneered at for months by the
party which the people of this country has
returned to power. Now there will be a
fine opportunity for that party to demon
strate how the inhabitants of a country may
all grow rich together by simply exchang
ing commodities among themselves.
The latest scheme for rapid mail trans
portation is the electric postal railroad with
a proposed speed of 300 miles an hour. A
compromise between the pneumatic tube
and the ordinary railroad carries a minia
ture train of two cars built of sheet iron
solely for mails and light parcel), without
any attendance. The road has three rails,
one above the car for carryingthe current,,
and two below which carry the cars.
There is almost as much pathos as humor
in the following story of an Albany boy of
tender years: Shortly after his mother's
death, he, with his father, visited her grave,
being carried there by a horse which his
father had recently bought. The father,
standing apait from the grave, was naturally
in a contemplative frame of mind, and the
boy, being unable to stand the oppressive
silence any longer, lifted his childish voice
in a an interrogative tone and said : "Ma
we've got a new horse."
The paper on which bank notes are
printed Is called "distinctive paper," being
used exclusively by the Government for
the printing of bonds and current notes.
The mills where it is manufactured are at
Glen Falls,Chester county, Pa An agent
of the Treasury Department receives the
paper direct from the hands of the manu
facturer and every precaution is observed
in order to prevent any loss. Short scraps
of red silk are mixed with the liquid pulp
in an engine. The finished material is con
ducted to a wire cloth without passing
through any screens, which might retain
the silken threads. An arrangement above
the wire cloth scatters a shower of fine
craps of blue silk thread, which falls upon
the paper while it is being formed. The
side on which the blue silk is deposited is
used for the back of notes, and the threads
are so deeply imbedded as to remain per
manently fixed. Each sheet is registered
as soon as It is made.
A most interesting event associated with
the approaching season is the return of
Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, the niece of
James Buchanan, and presiding lady of the
Executive Mansion during his Adminis
tration, Mrs. Johnston has taken a fine
residence on K street, a few doors west of
Seventeenth. She has closed her residence
in Baltimcre and goes to Washington for
the winter in an experimental way. Last
winter she was the guest for some weeks
of her life-long friend, Mrs. Hornsby, of
Connecticut avenue, a daughter of her un
cle's Attorney-General and Secretary of
State. She was so much delighted with
life at the Capital that she determined to
return for another season in order to test
her feelings more thoroughly, and If her
opinions were not changed by the expe
riences of the greater cares of housekeeping
she would erect a suitable residence at
Washington, abandon her home In Balti
more and reside at Washington for the re
mainder of her days. Every member of
Mrs. Johnston's family who Is near of kin
has passed away since the death of her hus
band and two children, some years ago.6he
has practically lived in retireinent,enjoying
only the associations of a circle or intimate
friends. She has also passed some time In
Europe,and now returns to Washington to
enjoy the evening of her days amid the
scenes of her social triumphs.
Quill toothpicks come largely from
France, which possesses the largest factory
in the world. This factory, which u located
near Paris, was originally started to make
quill pens, but when these went out of use
the proprietor turned It into a toothpick
mill, the present annual output of which Is
10,000,000 .quills.
The Supreme Court of Utah has entered

Now there commences the war among
republicans for the spoils. The democrats
can look on and enjoy the racket for they
have nothing to win or lose either way.
