It was ackin wledged thai this plan was fair, [ butt. \ times Fonts tition indeed Europo, tho exeih d pooplo were) waitijigfor tho news on this point, which would roach them as soon os possible after tho sale. For tin davs ipreceding tho auction tho newspapers were full of predictions regarding the priro of the tickets. Every- body wanted to kttend tho first coucert, and orders from lull parts of tho country were sent to friends in Now York to se- cpro tickets, if they could be bought at pi'iees that were hot utterly fabulous. It ii every man's business to exercise the greatest po.-,dble foresight, whereby bis calling can in cm ho test way bo ma-lo ijroiitable. I clearly saw what ef- fect this auction Hah; of Jonny Lind tickets would necessarily havo iu the ex- i'-tiu^ excited state of tho public mind; niiflihat the, higher the prices obtained, flio more would the frenzy bo increased. Therefore, three days lxfftjro tho auction of concert tickets was to'come oil', I w#nt quietly to »Tohu N. (ienin, a popular hat-maker, and told him I had a secret business suggestion to impart, which if Hhrciwldly Mnuui'-ed, wouhl, as I believ- ed, help him thousands of dollars as an advertisement.

They were happy and cheerful and as, handsomely dressed and jauntily ar* raved as if they were just making their exit from a matinee. A reporter ventured up to the eighth floor of the big building to sec the money- • uiakirg process.

I The very character of the work pre- j eludes the possibility of much talking. I The eye, the touch and the mind must be intent on the task in hand, for negli- 1 gence or inattention is certain to be detected at the next stage the money takes in transit. | 'Why do you employ girls in the ; process of money making instead of men and boys:\ asked the reporter of his guide. / \Because they are quicker of percep- tion, have a more delicate sense of touch and a e more tractable than bovs. In fact, a girl of sixteen, if suited to oar employ, has the fixed habits of a man of one of the officials of the company was • twenty-six combined with greater expert* ' not a new one and had heretofore been • ncss.

The three thousand ladies and gentle- men present were fairly bewildered. A miuute elapsed, when the auctioneer, who had not had a chance to open hie mouth since tho bidding commenced, lishment has its secret processes, which i it keeps as safely guarded as it does the sccuritiej of nations and corporations which it manufactures. Hut on this oc- 1 casion the point was yielded, and, ac- companied by one of the ollicers, the | round of the establishment was made. | „ Seated at'their desks in the company's ! office are the young Indies who act as accountants and timekeepers.

King Victor Emmanuel, by a decree dated Novem- ber 22, 187', created Signor Verdi an Italian Senator. In May, 1875, he was nominated a Commander of tho legion of Honor, and the Italian Minister at Paris was charged to present him with tue insignia of the Order, ac- companied by a Matte'ing letter from the Due Feca/es. In tho same year he was lecorated with the cross of Commander aid Star of the Austrian Order of Frana oseph.

On his rctur*n from Paris to his native country in April, 18-<0, he received the Order of the Crown of Italy. To spe»k of Verdi personally, it is said his favorite occupation is farming when he has aty timo to SJ are for it. He is as m ich at hom^ in crops and. cattle and agricul- tural operations of all sorts as he is in counefpoint and thorough base.

Rev. J. M. Van Buren says in the Youth's Temperance Banner: \A few days since I was talking with a gentleman, an invalid, who wanted to.know what to do to get his strength. He thought that l»eer must be very strengthening, as it wns made of I a \ley and had the substance of the barley iu it. lie seemed much surprised whfn Itoid aim that was not the object in making beer, to have the substance >of the barley in it, and that the only purpose for which the t a* lev was used was to convert the starvh in it into sugar, and torment this suiar and make alconoL ThiS is railed glucote, or grape sugar. All the alcohol used for dri* Ic- ing is made in this way. W hether the alcohol w in beer, or wine, or brandy, or whisky, tho only difference is, there is more in brandy and in whisky than in wine and beer. But, you MV, bow. is the search changed into sutjar? To understand this you must know that smzar and s arch are composed of the same elements of matter. There are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon, only in dif- ferent prorortions. The two element! whi-h wa'.er is composed—oxygen and hi gen—unite J *ith these in starch, chant into sugar. This is done by sproutincc f] Lm ley. Every grain or seed ba* starch in th «t turns into su^ar when it sprouts, by al sorbing tho moiiture or water m the grobW The barley is • prouted for this purpofe. It is put in heaps on a floor, kept warm, and wet with water. Alter it is sprouted it is dried, and the sprouts are taken o.T; it is then crushed nnd U rrnented in warm water, and the sugar is changed into alcohol. Th.s makes beer intoxicating. Tho remainder of the berlev i* sold to leod catt e. 1 ut there is something; else in beer beeMes a't^ohol and water. There is a laige quantity of hops u* d. The substance extracted from thf hijps causes beer to produce a sle- py feel-' invalid gives it its bitter taste. Thj beer- dr.nkor has two appetites: one lor intoxicat- in r cfTects of alcohol, and another for the nan-otic effects of tho hops. If lie takes p enty of it, one makes him drunk, the other mnkVs him stupid. Ah to nutriment, or anything to give strong h, there is none of that. The little particle-, of the barley are separated and set- tled, to make the liquor -ook ck ar and flue. Drinking beer tan os away the strength; it don't give any. Where much is used, as it is by those engaged in making it, it shortens a man's life. The Germania Life Insurance takes oif five years, and insures only the best caves. Those who drink much t»eer look thick and full; this is called be^r-bloat. If taken v ith sickness thfy oft n diesuddenlv. They ha\ e not tho chance of recovery that other men have.
