Detroit Currency. There are three thousand Smiths, Johns and others, in New Jersey. Seal-skin sacques are to be shaped to the figure this year. About $100 is the figure to be consulted in shaping. "Expectancy is paradise," says Dumas. How is it when a man is crossing a lot and expecting an old bovine to pick him up on a pair of horns. New York talks of a Central Park statue for the man who invented the sewing machine. And how shall the sewing machine agent be rewarded! It has been discovered that a hen held up by one leg will not squeak half as much as when both legs are grasped. The American mind is ever marching on. This country has a glorious free-school system, but the observing parent notes that the price of school books continues to make up for any gain in other directions. The New Orleans Republican can't see that the number of colonels and majors in that city is growing any less. Somehow, they always escape disease and accident. It is well to ponder deeply, but don't get so absorbed in a question that you miss a step coming down stairs. One miss on the stairs is half a mile of back ache and acres of bruises. A piece of window glass has been taken out of a man in Vermont. Pane in his stomach, probably.—[Graphic. Or probably a glass too much.]—[Boston Post. Wanted more light, perhaps. Greek Wedding. I was fortunate enough to be in Patras on the occasion of a Greek wedding, which is an interesting and peculiar ceremony. Weddings among the Greeks are for the most part solemnized in the evening and at home, and from the nature of the rite must be very trying to the persons principally concerned. A small table is placed in the centre of the room, on one side of which stand the bride and bridegroom, each holding a long, lighted candle, on the opposite side the officiating priests. Behind the former the best man takes his place; he has an important part to fill in the ceremony and is ranked as a relation from the time of the marriage. The room is, of course, brilliantly lighted, and the numerous guests throng as closely as they can toward the centre, in order to gain the better view. Many pravers are chanted The Late Mr. Lick's Trust. The death of Mr. Lick reminds us that his munificent charities—his donation made in his lifetime for literary, scientific and benevolent purposes of nearly five millions of dollars—hardly brought him either the honor or the self-satisfaction which he might reasonably have anticipated. After the conveyance of this great estate to trustees, Mr. Lick had nothing but trouble; until at last he made a legal effort to revoke the trust, upon the grounds that he had not made suitable provision for his heirs-at-law; and that the deed was executed by him when he was in failing health and laboring under mental depression. He declared his wish to rearrange and resettle the whole matter. At first the trustees, who were gentlemen of honor, determined to try conclusions at law with Mr. Lick, but they finally gave way for a new board, while the trustees were in some respects modified. Only a little while after, Mr. Lick communicated to the members of the second board a request for their resignation, as a third board had been appointed. The request was met by a refusal, the gentlemen declining to act except under legal advice. The new trustees are at present without a trust; and we may safely look forward to a long and wasteful litigation, with no end of plaintiffs and defendants upon either side. Indeed, we never saw a better opportunity for a modern case of Jarndyce agt. Jarndyce. There are two boards of trustees to begin with. There is a son and presumptive heir, about whose legitimacy there exist grave doubts. There is a great number of poor relations, and to crown all, there is a question of Mr. Lick's sanity at the time of instituting the trusts! Before his death he was under medical surveillance, if we may credit the report to that effect, being watched by several physicians at the instigation of the trustees. This, it seems, was a card played early against the poor relations, who might set up Mr. Lick's lunacy against the validity of the trust deed. Meanwhile, the California public must wait for the largess so profusely promised it—wait for the great telescope, the technical schools, the various charities, and the monument to the memory of the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." We hope that the mischances of the Lick benefactions will not discourage any opulent gentleman who contemplates the endowment of society out of his estate in his own lifetime. Any sensible person Improvidence of Great The folly of some men great wisdom is conspired country. Their foolishness fest in common affairs oo even when the world is ringed applause for the exhilar found wisdom in public affair. The proverbial unthrifty in expenditure character Daniel Webster is well known always receiving large sums and yet always involved could take care of the affliction, but not of his own. Lord Bacon was another similar improvidence. He did not follow his own advenience by his improvidence straits and difficulties where in still greater straits and did a man. His life was splendid excessive expenditure inviolate debt, which created a peril for money. Bacon took back thereupon beset by his enemies degraded and ruined. Pitt managed the nation ing a period of unexamined yet was himself always debt. Lord Carrington, en or twice, at Mr. Pitt's request his household accounts are quantify of butchers' meat bills at one hundred weight charge for servants' wages living and household bill £2,300 a year. At Pitt's devoted £40,000 to satisfy their creditors; yet his income been less than £6,000 a year time, with the wardenship of Ports, it was nearly £4,000 Macaulay truly says that "of Pitt would have stood by the disinterestedness of Perk Witt, he had united, thus frugality." But Pitt by no means Lord Melville was as unmanagement of his own affair of the money of the public an enormous ower, his fini being that a man need never if he was able to pay off Fox called the outer room where he borrowed on one Jew lenders at exorbitant price "Jerusalem Chamber." Pal was his great vice, and at age it involved him in debauchous amount. It is stated At home, and from the nature of the rite must be very trying to the persons principally concerned. A small table is placed in the centre of the room, on one side of which stand the bride and bridegroom, each holding a long, lighted candle, on the opposite side the officiating priests. Behind the former the best man takes his place; he has an important part to fill in the ceremony and is ranked as a relation from the time of the marriage. The room is, of course, brilliantly lighted, and the numerous guests throng as closely as they can toward the centre, in order to gain the better view. Many prayers are chanted by the priests and their assistants, unintelligible even to the ears of a classical scholar, with the exception of the often-repeated "Kyrre eleison," which forms so prominent a part in almost every Greek service. There is very elaborate ritual—the signing bride and bridegroom on the forehead three times with the ring, the blessing two wreaths which are afterward placed on their heads by the best man, and, at a later part of the rite, interchanged over and over again, the drinking of wine three times from the same cup, the kissing by both of the office book and of the priest's hand who has made them one, and finally, the strangest part of the ceremony, when the clergy, closely followed by the bride and bridegroom, hand in hand, the best man, and the nearest relatives of the newly-married couple make the tour of the table three times. This is said to be a relic of heathen days, while the drinking of wine from the same cup has been continued from the Jews. When the ceremony, which lasts three quarters of an hour, is over, and the young couple have been kissed and congratulated by their assembled friends, the festive part of the evening begins. Servants appear on the scene, carrying large trays heaped with bon-bons, sugar plums, and artificial fruit of different sorts. These are presented to the guests, who are expected to help themselves liberally, and to take to their friends at home as much as they care to carry. Cooling drinks, of various kinds, are also brought in never-ending supply, and the evening ends; sometimes with a ball, sometimes with the departure of the bride and bridegroom for their own home. LABLACHE AND THE KING. — Once when at Naples, Lablache was sent for to the palace. He entered the waiting-room, and till called in to his Majesty, conversed with the courtlers in attendance. Haying a cold in his head, he requested permission to keep on his hat. Getting into full discourse, he was suddenly startled by the gentleman in waiting crying out "His Majesty demands the presence of Signor Lablache." In his eagerness to obey the royal summons he forgot the hat he had on his head, and snatching up another, thus entered the king's cabinet. Being received with a most hearty laugh, Lablache was confounded, but at length recovered himself, and respectfully asked his Majesty what had excited this hilarity. "My dear Lablache," replied the king, "pray tell me which of the two hats you have got with you is your own—that on your head or that in your hand? Or perhaps you have brought both as a consequence of the trustees. This, it seems, was a card played early against the poor relations, who might set up Mr. Lick's lunacy against the validity of the trust deed. Meanwhile, the California public must wait for the largess so profusely promised it—wait for the great telescope, the technical schools, the various charities, and the monument to the memory of the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." We hope that the mischances of the Lick benefactions will not discourage any opulent gentleman who contemplates the endowment of society out of his estate in his own lifetime. Any sensible person will see that the trouble in this instance has arisen from the eccentric character of the donor, and from uncertainty in fixing details. Nobody need be afraid to give away his money who has a clear head and can command the services of a good conveyancer. It must not be supposed that any fatality necessarily follows charity and liberality on a large scale. On the contrary, these troubles we believe to be the exceptions, and about many rich endowments there has not been the least legal difficulty.—N.Y.Tribune. Wolves in Russia. Russia is still a good deal behind the rest of Europe in the matter of wolves. These animals, whose heads used to be a source of income to the borderers of Wales, and of which the last slain were in Scotland by Cameron of Loechiel, make a considerable figure in the agricultural returns of the Russian Empire. According to a pamphlet which M. Lazarevsky has circulated, the wolves in 1873 did nearly as much damage as a Tartar invasion might have inflicted. They carried off 170,000 cattle and 562,000 smaller domestic animals from the forty-five governments of Russia in Europe. In the Baltic provinces fell 1,000 head of horned cattle, and in Polish provinces 2,700 oxen, and 8,600 sheep, pigs and goats. The Journal des Bats calculates that if a cow be reckoned as worth thirty roubles, and sheep at four roubles,the gross sum of the tribute levied by the wolves in Russia must reach 7,700,000 roubles. This is an amount of money quite well worth looking after, and it represents a number of wolves which must be dangerous even to human life. In the forests of France, and in the Pyrenees,the wolves.last winter,t attacked some shepherds,and they now and then venture within the walls of lonely chateaus and farm-houses. But their numbers,of course,cannot be compared with the enormous hosts of savage beasts in Russia ,which one may perhaps guess at from the quantity of wolves which must band together to kill and carry off one able-bodied ox. The writers of good little books,who invariably illustrate the virtue of self-sacrifice by the story of Eric,the faithful serf,here rescued his master's family by throwing himself as food to the wolves ,will be pleased to learn that opportunities of practicing devotion in the best style will long continue to be found in Russia.

In his eagerness to obey the royal summons he forgot the hat he had on his head, and snatching up another, thus entered the king's cabinet. Being received with a most hearty laugh, Lablache was confounded, but at length recovered himself, and respectfully asked his Majesty what had excited this hilarity, "My dear Lablache," replied the king, "pray tell me which of the two hats you have got with you is your own—that on your head or that in your hand? Or perhaps you have brought both as a measure of precaution in case you should leave one behind you!" "Ah, maledetta," replied Lablache, with an air of ludicrous distress, on discovering his etourderie, "two hats are indeed too many for a man who has no head." A SKELETON WATCHMAN.—The Boston Transcript relates the following: A physician having his office opposite the Museum being annoyed by Italian peddlers, who ran in upon him at all hours, laid a plan to keep them away. With a human skull fixed on a pole, around which he wrapped an old office gown, and animating the whole by the office boy, a very respectable living skeleton was produced, which on Monday had the desired effect in ridding the premises of the intruders. But another effect was since produced not entirely anticipated. The skeleton was set in the closest near the door for future use. Yesterday the doctor was himself startled from his front office by a rattling of the dry bones, followed by an unearthly yell, as though his ghostship had "taken on mortality" again, and rushing out the doctor discovered a fellow standing on the floor nearly scared to death. He had stolen in and opened the closet door, when the skeleton had suddenly confronted him, falling against the door. The fellow was probably a sneak-thief, and the skeleton saved the doctor's best coat. And now the street boys have it that the building is haunted. "Have you children?" demanded a house-renter. "Yes," replied the other, solemnly, "six—all in the cemetery." "Better there than here," said the landlord, consolingly, and proceeded to execute the desired lease. In due time the children returned from the cemetery, whither they had been sent to have a nice play, but it was too late to annul the contract. LITTLE BUT VIGOROUS.—Men small in stature have been vigorous in action. A humorous illustration of this fact was given by Leon, an embassador to Athens from the city of Byzantium, now Constantinople. He was so little and deformed that when he stood up to speak, the Athenians, who did not cultivate courtesy, laughed violently. It was some time before he could proceed, but when order was restored, he said, "What would you say, then, could you but see my wife? She hardly reaches to my knees. Yet, little as we are, when we disagree, the city of Byzantium is not large enough to hold us." But a much more appropriate reply to merriment excited by physical littleness, was made by Dr. Watts. A lady once made fun of his small size. Instantly the great hymn-writer answered with this impromptu: "Could I in stature reach the pole, Or grasp creation in my span, I'd still be measured by my soul— The soul's the stature of the man." A PRACTICAL HONEYMOON.—Two people got married the other day, says the Raleigh Standard, and they acted sensibly, indeed. All day long they were fixing up their house. The woman vowed she wouldn't marry till she "seed everything fixed." Hand in hand, they were busy as bees buying provisions and furniture for the house. And at last, when all was done, the woman walked down and peeped in and said: "Now, John, I'll marry you," and they went and were married, and marched straight down into a snug little home. There wasn't a Saratoga trunk or a single unpaid tailor's bill in the whole ceremony. New York proposes to organize a cheap cab company, with a capital of $1,000,000. It will be conducted in the same manner as those in European cities, and each cab will be large enough to accommodate four persons inside, with room for baggage on top. Their rates will be fifty cents an hour, and stands will be assigned in different parts of the city where cabs may be found night and day. No living thing could without tacks. The wholesale deception by the grasshopper lately devastated the West; caused by the thinning birds, such as grouse, prairie which feed upon them. The ineestimable service done by gardener and florist by the becoming known by the sapper Spare the birds and save your little corn and fruit taken more than compensated by titles of noxious insects desiring long persecuted crow has devoured than the little harm few grains of corn he pulls one of the farmer's best friend. SHOEMAKING.—The shop relic of antiquity, and lived being as early as the twenties. He was accustomed to hawk and it is conjectured that it separate trade for annexiae. The Romans, in classical cork soles in their shoes, feet from water, especially in as high heels were not their Roman ladies who wish taller put plenty of cork The streets of Rome, in the mitian, were blocked up stalls, which he therefore removed. In the Middle were cleaned by washing wipe and oil; soap and grease wristites for blacking. Buck shoes in the fourteenth century land a human skeleton was marks of buckles on the shoe land they became fashionable before the reign of Queen laboring classes wore them other persons had them of per gilt; not long after shoes in. Buckles revived before tion in 1789, and finally been before the close of the century. HOLDING FOR HIGH PRICE instance of the disappointment persons are liable to expect holding their produce for him note that tobacco planters refused 9c. a pound for 1874 selling the same stock as 4the best policy, take one another, to sell a crop soon ready for market than to ho season and run the risk of lower prices. Improvidence of Great Men. The folly of some men renowned for great wisdom is conspicuous in every country. Their foolishness is made manifest in common affairs of private life, even when the world is ringing with public applause for the exhibition of profound wisdom in public affairs. The proverbial unthriftiness and folly in expenditure characteristic of our Daniel Webster is well known. He was always receiving large sums as an income, and yet always involved in debt. He could take care of the affairs of the nation, but not of his own. Lord Bacon was another instance of similar improvidence. Bacon himself did not follow his own advice, but was ruined by his improvidence. He was in straits and difficulties when a youth, and in still greater straits and difficulties when a man. His life was splendid, but his excessive expenditure involved him in debt, which created a perpetual craving for money. Bacon took bribes, and was thereupon beset by his enemies, convicted, degraded and ruined. Pitt managed the national finances during a period of unexamined difficulty, yet was himself always plunged in debt. Lord Carrington, ex-banker, once or twice, at Mr. Pitt's request, examined his household accounts and found the quantity of butchers' meat charged in the bills at one hundred weight a week. The charge for servants' wages, board wages, living and household bills, exceeded £2,300 a year. At Pitt's death the nation voted £40,000 to satisfy the demands of his creditors; yet his income had never been less than £6,000 a year and at one time, with the wardenship of the Cinque Ports, it was nearly £4,000 a year more. Macaulay truly says that "the character of Pitt would have stood higher if, with the disinterestedness of Pericles and De Witt, he had united their dignified frugality." But Pitt by no means stood alone. Lord Melville was as unthrifty in the management of his own affairs as he was of the money of the public. Fox was an enormous ower, his financial maxim being that a man need never want money if he was able to pay enough for it. Fox called the outer room at Almack's, where he borrowed on occasions from Jew lenders at exorbitant premiums, his "Jerusalem Chamber." Passion for play was his great vice, and at a very early age it involved him in debt to an enormous amount. It is stated by Gibson Perfect Hotel Comforts. WAY THE COMPOSITION IS IN PORTAL—A MOMENT PROPHETIC AND THOROUGH SURVIVION. All Americans who have traveled in Europe have been unanimous in speaking of the great interiority of the hotels of London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and other cities to those of New York and San Francisco. In his "Innocents Abroad" Mark Twain is particularly severe on the bad accommodations furnished by European Hotels and the indifference of the proprietors to the wishes and comforts of their guests. The fact is, hotel-keeping in Europe has never been elevated into a science as in San Francisco, for the simple reason that there are no bonifaces there of the tact experience and gentility many instincts of H. H Pearson: the popular proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel of this city. This old-established, commodious and elegantly-furnished hotel, on the corner of Bush and Sansome streets, has ever since Mr. Pearson assumed the management, been the favorite city residence of the most prominent residents of California, in addition to being the permanent abode of several of the leading business men of San Francisco and their families. Well knowing how greatly cheerfully-furnished rooms, prompt and courteous attendance, a stupently-provided table, and other desiderata of a positive nature contribute to the popularity and success of hotel life. Mr. Pearson has always paid the greatest attention to every department of his immense establishment, and personally looked after the comfort of transient as well as permanent guests. Even the marketing is done under his personal supervision, while the culinary department receives his watchful care. He is in fact the model hotel proprietor of San Francisco, and all persons who have experienced the joys of living at the Cosmopolitan know what it is to realize the greatest comforts of human existence. The whole building has just been renovated, and is now more attractive than ever. All the walls are of a delicate white, new carpets have been laid down, and elegant new furniture introduced, while the beautiful dining-room has been made more cheerful than ever. The comforts of stopping there have in consequence been greatly increased, and this hotel should receive the preference over all others.—S. F. Post. Holiday Presents.

Lord Melville was as unthrifty in the management of his own affairs as he was of the money of the public. Fox was an enormous ower, his financial maxim being that a man need never want money if he was able to pay enough for it. Fox called the outer room at Almack's, where he borrowed on occasions from Jew lenders at exorbitant premiums, his "Jerusalem Chamber." Passion for play was his great vice, and at a very early age it involved him in debt to an enormous amount. It is stated by Gibson that on one occasion Fox sat playing at hazard for twenty hours in succession, losing £11,000. But deep play was the vice of high life in those days, and cheating was not unknown. Selwyn, alluding to Fox's losses at play, called him Charles the Martyr. Sheridan was the hero of debt. He lived on it. Though he received large sums of money in one way or another, no one knew what became of it, for he paid nobody. It seemed to melt away in his hands like snow in summer. He spent his first wife's fortune in a six weeks' jount at Bath. Necessity drove him to literature, and perhaps, to the stimulus of poverty we owe "The Rivals," and the dramas which followed it. With his second wife he obtained £5,000, and with £15,000 which he realized by the sale of Drury Lane shares, he bought an estate in Surrey, from which he was driven by debts and duns. The remainder of his life was a series of shifts, sometimes brilliant, but often degrading, to raise money and evade creditors. Taylor, of the Opera House, used to say that if he took off his hat to Sheridan in the street it would cost him £50. He was in debt all around—to his milkman, to his grocer, his baker, and his butcher—Samuel Smilet. What the Birds Accomplish. The swallow, swift and nighthawk are the guardians of the atmosphere. They check the increase of insects that otherwise would overload it. Woodpeckers, creepers and chickadees are the guardians of the trunks of trees. Warblers and fly-catchers protect the foliage. Blackbirds, thrushes, crows and larks protect the surface of the soil. Snipe and woodcock the soil under the surface. Each tribe has its respective duties to perform in the economy of nature; and it is an undoubted fact that, if the birds were all swept off from the earth man could not live upon it, vegetation would wither and die, insects would become so numerous that no living thing could withstand their attacks. The wholesale destruction occasioned by the grasshoppers, which have lately devastated the West, is undoubtedly caused by the thinning out of the birds, such as grouse, prairie hens, etc., which feed upon them. The great and inestimable service done to the farmer, gardener and florist by the birds is only becoming known by the sad experience. Spare the birds and save your fruit; the little corn and fruit taken by them is more than compensated by the vast quantities of noxious insects destroyed. The long persecuted crow has been found, by actual experiment, to do far more good by Holiday Presents.

He was accustomed to hawk his goods, and it is conjectured that there was a separate trade for annexing the soles. The Romans, in classical times, wore cork soles in their shoes, to secure their feet from water, especially in winter, and, as high heels were not then introduced, the Roman ladies who wished to appear taller put plenty of cork under them. The streets of Rome, in the time of Domitian, were blocked up by cobblers' stalls, which he, therefore, caused to be removed. In the Middle Ages shoes were cleaned by washing with a sponge and oil; soap and grease were the substitutes for blacking. Buckles worn on shoes in the fourteenth century. In Ireland a human skeleton was found with marks of buckles on the shoes. In England they became fashionable many years before the reign of Queen Mary; the laboring classes wore them of copper; other persons had them of silver or copper gilt; not long after shoe roses came on. Buckles revived before the revolution in 1789, and finally became extinct before the close of the eighteenth century. Holding for High Prices.—As an instance of the disappointment some persons are liable to experience from holding their produce for high prices, we note that tobacco planters in Ohio, who refused 9c. a pound for 1874-75, are now selling the same stock at 4c. It is far the best policy, take one year with another, to sell a crop soon after it is ready for market than to hold it over a season and run the risk of loss and still lower prices.
