George B. McClellan, son of the famous General, says he has heard of enough buttons that came off the coat his father wore at Antietam to dam the North river. The last was said to be a contribution to the casting of the Columbian liberty bell. Mr. McClellan says the coat has never losl a button and that it is now in his possession. It has attached to it a card in General McClellan’s handwriting bearing the words: “This is the coat I wore at Antietam.” Bussel Sage, of Wall street, has nounced that this is the mildest panic he ever experienced. Not even a dai age suit for $250,000 brought under the charge of breach of promise has given philosophy is doubtless due to the fact him a stringency. A great deal of thii that Mr. Sage has netted several millions of dollars on “puts” and “calls” since the stringency began. A man m Sage’s position may, therefore, be excused for failing to feel stringent even when the stringency is greatest. It is hardly nec essary to add that he has not lost con fidence in the future. The New York Sun of recent date pays the following compliment to Senator Murphy: “The chairman of the New York State committee is Edward Mur phy, jr., of Troy, honored by the party he has long and efSoiently served, by being elected as a Democratic Senator from this State in .Tanuary. Senator Murphy h as been managing Democratic campaigns in this State since Daniel Manning, alert, aggressive and vigorous, insensible to opposition and assault, but restive under the chafings of miscon struction and ingratitude, cheerfully laid down the sceptre of party leader ship. So well has Senator Murphy handled the forces of the New York Democracy, so judicious has been his leadership, and so thorough his system of party management, that his record as chairman is almost unbroken by defeat,’’ Tlirough tile W orld’s Fair for Twenty Naturally, every patriotic American wants to go to the (Jolumbian Exposi tion, and will go, if possible; and, just as naturally, the impossibility of going makes tlie desire all the stronger to see the beauties and wonders there display ed. Whether one goes or not, a souve nir of the grandest Exposition of all time is a desirable thing to have; and no more complete or beautiful one can be had than the September number of Demorest's Family Magazine,—the Ex position number,—which contains over 800 illustrations, showing as much as one could see in a week’s visit, and ac companied by vivid descriptions of all points and objects of interest. In fact, ’tis a collectiou of photographic souve nirs that would coat a lot of rponey, and yet you may possess it for only twenty cents.

In this age the majority of single products are produced by groat num bers of men, and one cannot say. In a literal sense, than any one man pro duces any one thing. According to W. AX. Mallock, in the North American Review, the same number of men w'ho. In the United States, In the year 1840, pi’odueed wealth to the value of $1,000,000,000 per year, are produelug this present yeai’wealth to the value of: $2,300;000,000. In proportion to the: number of producers the product has been more than doubled, while If the inquiry Is carried hack to 1800 the then product is now trebled, This Increase In the productivity of the same number of producers must be due to some cause or causes which are in operation now, and which were not in operation then. These causes are scientific In vention and discovery, and improved methods of dividing and aplying labor. These improvements are not the work of chance, or of nature, but have been brought about by the deliberate and persistent action of a few men, and the millions said to be due to the im provements are really due to these men by whom the improvements were Introduced. These men, who are a very small mlnoilty, con-espond, broad ly speaking, wdth the wealthier class es, and out of every hundred rbillion dollars produced in the United States to-day these men produce a t least $06,- 000,009. Instead of the riches of the few being taken from the products of tlie many the present competence of the many is taken from the products of the few, who produce the whole of tlie wealth which they enjoy, and also every increase of wealth which is, year by year, enjoyed by the many. Labor Is the industrial exertion of a single man on some single piece of work only. Ability is the industrial exertion of a single man which affects simultanepus- ly the labor of many men, multiplying and improving the results of it lu each ease. There is an inventive ability and an ability of enterprise. Capital is the ecoiion' past ability. ■ ^ ability for momie.ally saved cre.nl Interest is tl Capital ition of is tbe sum paid by ability for the use of capital to tlio owners of capital. That labor play.s a subordinate part in production in no way casts a slur on-the general quali ties of the laborer. Wealth Is not the measure of a man, and many a laborer may be far superior a.s a man to the man on whose Industrial ability he is absolutely dependent as a laborer. He should not long remain thus depend ent, hut by co-operation should gidn ability to manage his share of the world’s work, if necessary to social freedom. But au accurate study of the daily work of the world will show that the few, however Inferior morally, produce the larger part of the wealth of thehe modernodern world;orld; thathat wealthealth is of t m w t w is not, as commonly said, the result of social labor only, hut is the result of social labor multiplied by ability; and whatever claims the public may have on the wealth of the minority, that claim cannot be sustained on the id that tho public has produced ground th a t tho publ this wealth, for the ml have not only proclue SNUBBED BY GEORGE BANCROFT, how Bin Along in 1878 a Michigan man named Dennison, who has since won liuaueia) success from various ingenious devices, says the Detroit Free Press, had a good thing in the way of a patent in dex, which he exliiblted to several liter ary men lu Washington, who received it with so much favor that he deter mined that George Bancroft, the his torian, should no longer remain in igno rance of the virtues of his contrivance.

I’t natural to expect that he be, but oeeasionally there did appear one who could more than hold Ms own. I recall a man named Caleb Finby who came to Dream Gulch In its earlier days, when that region was full of bad men. He was a tall, spare young man, with a head full of brains, and he was quick and business-like in everything that he did, but still he was not a man that the generality of men; would have picked out as the possessor of nerve- “Air. Finby set out one day to go to the neighboring camp of Devil’s Claw Canyon. As he was proceeding along the road he suddenly Qame upon, or, rather, there came suddenly upon Mm, a man who asked him to throw up Ms hands. It was Big Bill Belter, the ter ror of Devil’s Claw Canyon. “ T throw ’em up,’ said Air. Finby, cheerfully, as he ralswl them, ‘because you ask me to, and I don’t want to seem impolite. But at the same time 1 must inform you that you are taking an entii'My unnecessary precaution; my gnu isn’t loaded.’ “Air. Belter was himself a man of fine gall, and his recognition of that quality in another awakened in him a. certain degree of admiration. Quick to perceive the change In Air. Belter’s manner, faint and undefined as it was, Air. Finby tvent on: “ ‘But I realize now, as I have not done before, the carelessness of going about in this way practically unarmed; and if you’ll permit me. I ’ll load m as a guard against future contingi “Mr. Fiiihy’s hands came down as he uttered the concluding words, for he had seen the hand that had held the pistol levelled against Mm fall slowly, as the Terror listened with a sort of astonished amusement. “Air. Finby had in his Mp pocket a pistol and lu Ms waistcoat pocket a box of cartridges, w'Mch he had bought In deference to the advice of friends, but which he had never brought together into useful conjunction, partly because he was not personally bloodthirsty, and partly because of over-confidence in the human race. But he proceeded now to load, with perfect calmness, but In Ms heart amazed at the utter lack of pre caution now displayed by Mr. Belter, who stood loaning against a tree and laughing, apparently quite overcome by the broad humor of the situation. Sud denly it was discovered that Mr. Fln- by’s gun was being held in such a posi tion that Air. Belter could, without in convenience, look square Into the muz zle of it, and Air. Belter discovered alsi ? preparations for defense. He so-; ■ i a new camp site, well hidden * ps of willows, and, by the w _. just whore an attacking force could: easily have burned Mm out, or got the i best of Mm in any one of several ways,; for he wasn’t much of a strategist, Then he began moving supplies, and: for a couple of hours was distressingly busy, at times being so badly “rattled” that he would run back and forth with; a sack of flour or other bulky burden and forget to lay it down. Comifioto removal was finally effected, however, - and the Weed garrison took possession ^ of their new quarters; prepared to fight to the last gasp. There was another family of .pioneers’ at Steamboat Springs, the Crawfords, and they naturally felt ' at the same moment in Air.

It has always been a matter of spec ulation and wonder to most people as to how a marine cable once broken in midocean Is ever got together again. The,explanation is this: First, It must he know’n that the cable practically rests everywhere on the bottom of the sea. Of course there are places where sudden deep places coming between shallow ones will cause the cable to make a span as over a ravine or gully. In other places the ocean Is so deep that the cable finds Its specific gravity somewhere in mldwater, so to spealc. In that case it rests quite as firmly as if it were on solid ground. When a break occurs the first step, of course, is to accurately locate its position. A conductor such as a cable offers a certain amount of obstruction or “resistance” to the passage of a electric current. Apparatus has bee devised for the measuring of tMs “ri sistance.” The unit of resistance is called an ohm. The resistance of the average cable is, roughly speaking, three ohms per nautical mUe. Resist ancence practicallyractically ceaseseases att thehe point a p c a t poi where the conductors m^ke consldi able contact with tho water. The; fore, if when measuring to locate < break it be found that the measuring incence of 90000 apparatus Indicates a resista of 9 ohms the position of the fault will ha known to be 300 miles from shore. AVith this information the captain of tlie repairing ship is able to detefinine by his‘Charts of the course of the cable, the latitude and longitude of the spot where the break occurred, and can pro ceed with certainty to effect the repair. When the approximate neighborhood of the track is reached a grapnel Is dropped overboard and the vessel steams slowly in a course a t right an gles to the run of the cable. On the deck of the sMp there Is a macMne called a dynometer, wMch, as its nai implies, is used to measure reslstam The rope securing the grapnel passes under tins. If the dynometer records a steady increase of strain it •Indicates that the grapnel has caught the cable. If, on the other hand, the resistance varies froru nothing to tons and from tons to notiiiug again, it Is known that tho grapnel is only engaging rocks or other projections of an uneven bottom. It is frequently necessai’y to drag over such a ground several times before the cable can be secured. Having secured one end of a parted cable, the vessel moors it to a buoy and proceeds to search for the other end. AVhen both ends are brought to gether on deck tlie electrician holds communication with the shore on both sides to make sure that there are no other defective places and that the cable is perfect in both dlre.ctions. TI ' having been satisfactorily detormlni all that remains Is to splice the en together and drop the cable once me back into the sea.—New Orleans Tim: Democrat 10 wislii'd to b exempted harsh deeroe.

It Is certainly painful and disagree able to be sick, but It is an intense S!i I is faction to know that the final iges of death are accompanied by pain whatever only so far as re grets may be experienced. Even the various stages of freezing to death do not seem to cause any very nneom- fortable sensations. The pleasures of freezing are set forth by a Canadian physician who at one time enjoyed them. His tongue and then Ms arms became stiff, sharp chills ran down Ms back, and finally it seemed as though Ms whole body had congealed, causing an almost entire cessation of tho heart’s action. This condition of suffering speedily gave place to a grate ful warmth, which seemed to suffuse tho system and c.auso an exMlarating .glow. He was driving, and by this time had reached a house, but he went on thinking that notMng was now to bo feared. The sleigh appeared to him to glide through the air with groat swiftness, and the horses seemed to fly like birds. A sense of exultation filled him, and he urged the boasts to greati-r spewl. The woods on each side of the road were passed so quick ly that they became Indistinguishable black lines. 'Then the jingle of bells sounded further and further away un til they passed out of hearing In the distance. He fell gradually into a de licious slumber, which came near being tho sleep of death. INDIAN RAIDSj Anxiety nnU Feniir of tlie Farly Settlor tilo Fai* eKt. The following story illustrates tho anxiety and fear of Indians suffered by early settlers in the far West. AVhen northwestern Oblorado, a man, who may be called Weed, living near that: stream, fancied that a general murder for Air. AA’^eed. Jumping on Ms white pony he rode madly up the valley to:- wards what Is now the town of Steam boat Springs; in Routt County. His' family Was visiting there, and he was; 3und to fly to the rescue of his deai les.s. Hee reachedeached thehe placelace ass quickljuickly/ one H r t p a q I Ms pony, and was that he had outstripioutstripped the 1 the time, packed up some food and clothing and started with her children up Soda Creek to seek a hiding place. The party made their way to a quiet spot a couple of miles distant, and went Into camp. At evening a spy was sent oiit to ascertain If the foe had ap peared, but he reported on his return that the only new arrival at town w’as a mail carrier from down the river. TMs mail carrier had seen nothing un usual on Ms journey except a “mighty scared man” riding furiously up the valley. He meant Wee^. Next day, as no war party broke in upon the scene, and there was appar ently no immediate danger of a mas sacre, the Crawfords returned home. A few men from other localities also arrived, W'ord of tire expected attack having been sent out in different direc tions, and preparations of a substantial kind were made to repel Invaders. A cabin ----- ’ ------- ” ’ ------ made every one feel safer. Towi dusk some dark objects were seen n ly along the to repel Invaders.

The foe was doubtless about to attack now, and the little garrison grew very much excited. No blood-curdling warwhoops followed, no clouds of arrows whizzec through the air, how'ever, and When i' was discovered that the supposed enemy was only a bunch of cattle tM excitement subsided. For several days a careful watch was kept, but no enemy appeared. News of the fancied danger wms sent across tho range to Air. Crawford, and he rode with all speed towards home, gather ing recruits on the way. His anxiety can better be imagined than described, especially as he could gnthet no reliable word of the situation on his Jourm through the country, wMch at thi time contained but few settlers. A. length he arrived at Steamboat Springs almost convinced that its oiitiro popu lation had been wiped out of existence. It was dark, and all was still. AVith beating hearts the party of horsemen rode up, expecting anytMng that was heart-breaking and horrible, and were intensely relloval to find eveiyhody well and comfortable. The Indian raid never took place, and the only reason for any fear of It ispmng from the worliing of an over-6xcited imagination. —Harper’s Young People. liesieseU bjr Great Daud tcrabg. Our laboratoty la Jamaica was on the side* of a rocky limestone hUl, honeycombed In all directions by cracks and fissures and large caves, all inhabited by big land-crabs, which came out every night, usually in pairs^ te forage around our Eome. Thej would climb the steep stone terracl and the Mgh steps to our door, wher^ they would stand peeping InaMsitlvelJ through the crack of tho door, and waiting and watching until the honsi was quiet. Whenever tfe looked tu from our work In the evening we wert sure to see a t least one gentleman crab, and Ms wife beside him, standing on tiptoe and cocking their long stalk ed eyes, on the watch for a chance to slip in and explore the house. As soon as we were well settled at our work they would creep stealthily In and wander everywhere, although they were especially foud of climbing up the mosquito nets to the canopies over our beds. A crab hunt was the last event of our day, and it was not without ex citement, for while the animals- are generally peaceful and well behaved, they have big, formidable claws, and they always fight when cornered. They cannot be driven out, for while they are timid and desirous to escape, they never go out of the door, but run side ways along the walls, tumbling over each other in their eagerness, until they reach a MdiUg-place behind our trunks or under the furniture, when they resist all attempts to dislodge them, clinging to everything witMn reach and waving their big claws In the most threatening way.

Of his exposure of certain frauds he. says • “Skeptic as I was, but willing to b convinced, I had pm-ehased two ratiu pretty little sailor dolls, twin brothei of tho navy, at a neighhorlug toy-shop. One of these she lAIadame A’ix> hold until it was sutticicntly ’eliarged -vrith her sensitiveness’ by contract. I then rapidly substituted the twin doll from my pocket, and put away the sensi- tivized doll for future service. To make the performance quite regular, I cut off a minute lock of lier hair and pretended to aflix it to the doll. To this proceeding, which I had seen a>l. tochas gravely go through, she er objected in her profound sleep, li to our (inlet amusemut. ‘O’est e’est trop,’ she murmured, appar- / thinlung that I -was taking too much hair for the money. 1 need not say that I did not affix it to the head of the doll, although I went through tho motions of doing so.
