But it is merely the speculative trade which is depressed. The hand to mouth trade is fully maintained. The chief cause of the lengthened depression, the writer thinks, is to be found in the series of bad harvests.

Many readers will be surprised to learn that Glasgow is the second largest city in Great Britain, and the thin in commercial importance. In population and manufact- tories it almost equals Philadelphia, and for wet weather eurpaesea anv American city, large or small, With which I am acquainted. The people are busy, thrifty, industrious and exceedingly polite, intensely national, but absolutely ignorant and indificrcnt about America and American nfi'eire. I have not met any person so ignorant as the Italian count who asked whetner it was not dangerous to venture out of New York on account of the Indians; but they do not seem to know or care that in the Vicinity of the noble city of Toweon there is a. populous and thriving village of Bnltimore. ._..

The Norwegian poet and preacher Kristo- fer J anson gives the followin account of a tornado yvhiqh égatroyeq his oqge. “ \Ve had built twc; wings on the church, you know,as a summer resort for me and my family, and we had just moved in. The church itself was not yet finished, the doors and windows not put in. and the carpenter: and joiners busy at their work when the misfortune happened. The weather had been turbulent for many days,- every night lightning and thundering with violent show- ers. It was on the mornin of the 21“. we hnd_ just taken our brea fest, _end gathered out on the porch to look at the grand play of the elements performed before us. Around in the horizon there flashed lightnln , and it thickened and darkened more on more. We foremw a. violent temp- est. It seemed as if the storm moded away in the direction of New Ulm. and we won- dered if that poor town should bedrowned to death for the second time. It was swept away by a. cyclone two years ago, you re- member. A cloud, black as the ravon’s wing, appeared in the west. Suddenly it split, and between the two black trains expanded the most fearful, dismal sky 1 ever saw. The color was greenâ€"greyâ€"yellow. 1 and it darkened the sun, so it became dim ‘ as twiligut. The carpenters had by-and-by ‘ gathered together with us on the porch. ‘ This must be a hail storm,’ one of them said ; ‘ now we will pretty soon hear of dis‘ esters.’ Suddenly the' cleft widened be- tween the two black cloud-wings, and the upper one come with a terrible speed, hurry- ing back toward us. ‘ Let us walk in,’ I said. ‘ It seems as if we, too. shall get a. taste of it.’ We went in, and our perlor looked quite dark. We had scarcely heard theroar- ing of the storm coming. In a moment we were surrounded by a white cloud, and the wind and rain lashed the house, which ‘ gromed and shivered all through. It was not rain, it was furious torrents of water ‘ mixed with heavy hail. which poured down 3 from heaven. The storm tried to burst open 'the door, but five men pressed against it .with all their might. The wall seemed to , give way and stood in s bow: the building shock as in convulsions. I felt like a tight- ening of my heart every time the house seem- ed to be lifted from the ground and. dropped down again. Twice we had these terrible shocks, then in a moment, house, men, furni- ture, were hurled through the air one hun- dred feet away. I do not remember any- thing before 1 found myself on the ground crawling among the debris of my new home. The first I discovered was my wife. with A child in each arm, lying at my side. Men and children were scattered around among lumber and sidings, whether alive or dead nobody could tell. A table and a staircase came flying through the air ; some men met- them and pushed them away, so they did not kill my wife and children ; bits of wall and roof whirled round us ; here it was im- possible to remain. We crept and crawled, and ran for our lives down to the forest. As we found each other there were only six; afriend of cure, a farmer, had one of the small girls in his arms, my wife another, and one of my sons clung to me.”â€" Christian Union. ' England has been very nf Quwns. and has usually given them a ‘good name. Of Matilda we know very little. But the faults of Mary were attributed in great part to her husband; while both Elizabeth find Anne have, perhaps with equal reason, been decorated with the names of “ Good.” It certainly has so happened that the reigns of the last three Queens who have occupied the English throne have been both happy and glorious. In all alike we see great developments of the national energy, the flowering of a brilliant and characteristic literature and the growth of new political and social ideas inaugurating new stages of progress. If we carry our minds back to the ascension of Queen Elizabeth, we find ourselves in a world which has, indeed, little resemblance to our own, but which was an entirely new departure from the world of the Plantagenets. Similarly, in the re‘gn of Anne, we are face to face with a political and social regime wholly different in kind from that of the seventeenth century, the departing footsteps of which we look back upon through the reign of V’Villism. In our own time it is unnecessary to say that we live in a transition period from the stereo- typed thoughts and habits of the pre Reform era to some unknown and unconjectured destiny. Thus all three reigns have been signalized by the same distinctive f eatures : have each in some measure ushered in a new age, and have been distinguished by the same literary and intellectual activity. To which of them history will assign the supremacy is a question which we shall not touch. The Elizabethan, the Augustan, and the Victorian eras have each their special glories to boast of; and their comparative greatness must depend to a great extent on the character of the mind which contem- plates them.â€"â€"London Standard.

H. Gladstone wrote to the workmen in these terms :â€"“In reference to your letter, I beg to ask you how many feet you require. We have a beech of about sixteen feet available, but I fear the carriage to London would be heavy.” The offer was accepted, but the beech turned out to be eighteen feet long, so that the stock-book of the firm has evidently not been very carefully kept. It is understood that, in the letter in which Mr. Gladstone handed over the conduct of the transaction to his son, he expressed some desponding sentiments with regard to this branch of the family business. Glodetonien timber has not been in great demand lately, the last transaction having taken place in Lteds in 1880. Gladstone as a Timber-Dealer. A Minnesota Tofan The Queens of England. ficfiv Nuts are Protected. Among British nuts one may trace a. regu- lar gradation (not, of course, genealogical) from the softest and least protected to the hardest and most defensive kinds. The acorn, produced in vast numbers by a very large and long-lived tree, the oak, has hard- ly any need of a strong outer coat of armor, especially as its kernel is rather bitter and far from attractive to most animals, though it still feeds a considerable legion of board- ing squirrels, and must once have been munched in immense quantities by the nu.- tive wild boars, or their medieval successors the half-tamed forest swine. In the beech, the shell of the actual nut itself is merely leatherly ; but the outer coat or in volucre is sprinkled over with distinctly protective pricklee. (It_ is worth while to note in pass- ing, that the beech nuts or mast rarely con- tain a kernel in Britainâ€"in other words, they are almost always sterile; whereas in other countries where the beeches are more sturdy, the nuts are usual] fertile ; and this fact may be put side by ei ewith the correl- ative fact that the beesh is a decadent tree in England, where it was once dominant. but it is now rapidly dying out before our very eyes, at least in its indigenous form.) In the lime the very small nut. has a. decid- ed shell, while its globular shape also makes it difficult for quadrupods to open with their ' we and team. Finally. in the hazel, the lbert has a very hard integumenb indeed, ahd a dfeggreeable husky covering'of smart- ing hairs. Our own English nuts are only exposed to ' the attacks of extremely small and compar- atively harmless mammals, or of inoonsider~ able native birds ; and, therefore, their de~ fensive tactics have never been carried any further than in the case of the hedgerow ‘ filbert. But in southern climates, and es- ‘ pecislly in the tropics, nuts are exposed to tor larger and most dangerous forestine foes, like the monkeys and parrots, against whose teeth or bills, as we all know, even the sound shell ol 3 Barcelona cob is absolutely no protection. Hence under these circum- stances, only the very hardest or most diss- greeeble nuts have been able to survive and grow up in due time into flourishing not. trees. Sometimes, as in the walnut, the chief protection is afforded by a nauseous outer rindâ€"a system which reaches its climax in the South American oashews, whoee pungent juice blisters the skin like a canthasides plaster: sometimes, as in the cocoanut, it is afforded by great thickness and hardness of shell, which sets at naught the most persistent endeavors cf the hungry aggressor. In the Brawl nut, a number of sharp angular nuts are crowded together inâ€" side a large and hard outside shell, so that even after the monkey has managed to crack the big outer nut, he has still to open all the inside nuts one by one in detail. It is worth while to notice, too, that on exactly similar modification is undergone in the tropics by the stones of the stone-fruits, which are really nuts in disguise, covered only by a. soft, sweet pulp that entices sn- amals to aid in dispersing them, by drop- ping the hard seed on to the ground in fav- orable. spots for its growth. In temperate climates the stones are only hard enough to defy squirrels and birds ; in tropical coun- tries they are hard enough to defy monkeys nnd parrots. Compare for example, the English sloe or birdcherry with the peach- stone, and the English how with the mango or Vegetable ivory. This last out V is one of the oddest in the whole range of nature, for it is here the actual kernel itself that grows so herd and horny. Yet even the vegetable ivory, which consists really of very solid starchy cells, softens and yields up its ma.- terial to the growing plant as soon as the embryo it encloses begins to sprout under the influence of warmth and moisture.â€" Grcmt Allen in.

A farmer down in Spriugwells was charged with having slap- ped the jaws of his neighbor, and two wag- gon-loade of witnesses were on bond toswear to this and that. Both plaintiff and de- fendant seemed to be determined men, and their respective wives sat and glared at each other like two old cats. Some of the neces- formalities were being worked up when, all of a sudden, the wife of the omnplainent was taken with the toothache. l’a wasn’t the kind which growls and matters and fools around, but the old-fashioned jumping ache, and in two minutes she was crying.

"I don’t altogether like this young mam Millikin who comes to see you so often. I hear that he is nothing but a. poor dry-goods clerk,” is what the head of the family said to h_i§ daughter one day at the dinner table. “He is a. very nice young gentleman, ”ra- plied the daughtgr; "besides, he is some- thing more than a ‘poor dryâ€"goous clerk.’ He gets a. large salary, and is manager of one of the departments, and expects some day to have an interest in the business. “I hope he may,” responded the old man, “bu‘; he strikes me as a. very flippsmh,’ im- pertinent young man, and in my oyinion he rshould be Eat down upon.” “Well, I have invited him to take tea. with us this evening,” said the daughter, “and I hope you will treat him politely at least.

An Entire Growth of ‘Whtskem Torn from a Man’s Chin, Together with the Flesh. Henry Felkamp, is a. cutter in the em- ploy of a firm of wholesale Clothiers. on the corner of Vine and Pearl streets. He is, or rather was the possessor of a magnificent beard fifteen inches long. Monday morning a spring on the cutting machine of the es- tablishment broke and flew under a table near the rapidly revolvmg shafa of the ma- chine. Mr. Felkamp stopped and reached under the table for the spring, when suddenly the shaft caught his long heard. In an in- stant the beard was wrapped tightly around the revolving shaft, which threatened to dash his head to pieces in the machinery. Mr. Feikamp, with the desperation of a doomed man, threw out his hands and brac- ing himself against the machinery,.pulled with all his strength against fate. Hi arms were stronger than his chin, and by main force he extricated himself by pulling the flesh pfi' the gi‘eater pant ofmhis chin. A part of the whlskers broke off, some were pulled out by the roots, but his lower lip and the flesh of his chin were literally torn ofi', exRosing t-he. 2111333 ‘of'hislo‘wer' jaiw.

The proprietors and employee of the firm exerted themselves to their utmost when they found what a. terrible fate had befallen their respected comrade, but the telephone was called upon unsuccessfully for some time in attempts to summon physi- cians. One finally arrived and put the la- cerated flesh back over the wound and sew- ed it fast with tan or twelve stitches. In the meanwhile the victim never uttered a. groan, but endured the surgical operation, which was scarcely less painful than the ac- cident, with most wonderful fortitude. His handsome Whiskers are a total loss, and all that remained of them he wrapped in paper and carried home in his pocket. He was taken in a hack to his home.â€"-â€"0a’ncirmati Commercial Gazette.
