Detroit Currency. "Man proposes—" but there are still 21,000 more women than men in Massachusetts. Joaquim Miller is trying to find out why an eight-day clock can't be evolved up to gun nine days. The far-seeing man pours water on his front steps so that burglars will slip down and break their necks. In England it is the law that all vehicles shall turn to the left, though that isn't the right sort of a turn. Cassell's Magazine argues that the dark spots on the moon are simply great grazing pastures. Send your cow right along. Those whalemen who were left in the Arctic region won't have to pay any poll tax or worry about the Presidential question. The one mean thing about falling down on an ice walk is the fact that no bones are broken and a surgeon is helpless to aid the case. Rowel's Newspaper Reporter is down on dog fights. The editor is probably a one-legged man and can't get into the first circle to see the fun. A citizen of Washington fell on his iron fence and an iron picket was run through his neck. He ought to have had up the sign: "Keep off the fence." Little, Brown & Co., of New York, know the use of a comma, but are often addressed by those who do not, and the three of them are knocked into two. At a sale of curiosities from the Holy Land," in New York, on Thursday, "a fragment of the tomb of Aaron" sold for ten cents. Oh, Moses!—Phil. Times. We call men "loose" when they are tight, And gone when they are staying; And some get "sawed" that go to sea; And "slewed" that go a sleighing. An old spittoon was picked up on the battle-field of Antietam the other day, and we are somewhat anxious to know what general lost it and whether its loss was a great bereavement. Every captain of a Cunarder is instructed to tell his passengers if a ten-knot breeze is met with, that "this is the ugliest gale I ever experienced." It makes the passengers feel good. The Paragraphers' Association of America numbers twenty-four members, all financially able to wear overcoats and have a special mug at the barber's. What better off is Sharon or any millionaire? Thoroughness and Mediocrity. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well, is a maxim which too many forget. That is the best machine for the factory or the farm which does its work quickest and best. A machine of that kind has millions in it, and the inventor has his reward. There is keen competition going on at Philadelphia for medals, and the prize will be won by brains, after all, and not by machines. Persons who look only at the surface of things when reading an advertisement that fifty hands are wanted are apt to forget that it is not hands so much as brains that employers want. Those are poor arms that have not a good head to guide them. A level and well-stored head is a mighty power in the world. Strange it is that there are so many heads in every family undeveloped. All around are papers, lectures, books and teachers offering their services as stevedores to stow every one's head with valuable knowledge. We are quite persuaded that if more attention were given to heads the fallacies of the unbelieving Huxley would not pass current as they do in so many quarters. One does not require to make much progress in head development before finding out that materialism is a mischievous doctrine. In every department of life the thorough man is in demand. It is not capital so much as capacity that is the real power in the mill or on the estate. The man who has the power to plan and the will to execute is the one who is at the front of the race. Skill in selecting and using implements needs larger development. How is it, parents, that your children are so ill prepared for the battle of life? At every point of examination they are found defective. That is not their fault, but yours. Here is a manufacturer who leads the world in supplying a needed article. He watches carefully every improvement and constantly applies it to his business. That brow of his has success within it. At the close of every day he was a wiser man than at the beginning. That was his characteristic as a boy. He was an investigator into causes, and with mathematical accuracy he knew the relation between cause and effect. He early learned that one lie requires twenty others to support it. Imperfect articles never left his factory as genuine, for that he knew meant ruin and failure.

All the ice companies in the North are already far ahead of last year's harvest, with much better ice, but of course we shall soon hear of a scarcity—poor ice—high rates for next summer, and so forth. When a Baltimore craft set sail for Virginia the other day she struck on a bar, and the crew lived on frozen turnips for two days. They want to get hold of Dio Lewis, who says there is ninety-seven per cent of nutriment in frozen turnips. Peanuts. Peanuts, or as they are popularly known in the South, ground nuts or goubers, grow in the ground on the roots of the plant exactly like potatoes. The stalk and leaves of the plant somewhat resemble clover, and to get the nuts, when ripe, the plants are pulled out of the ground, the nuts adhering firmly to their roots. The greatest trouble with the ground nuts is in picking them, which has to be done by hand, no machine having yet been invented to do the work, though it would seem as if such a machine, in the shape of a coarse comb, might be easily invented. But labor is cheap in the places where they are grown, which are in the light sandy soils of Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, in this country. Peanuts are also largely grown in Africa, India, Brazil and other places. The best are raised in the valley of the River Gumba, in Africa, and yield large quantities of oil. This product, when properly produced, is esteemed equal to olive oil; but it is also used in woollen manufactures, in soap making, in lamps, and for lubricating machinery. Last year the crop in the United States was as follows: Tennessee, 235,000 bushels; Virginia, 450,000; North Carolina, 100,000. The imports from Africa last year were 846,000 bushels, of which Boston imported 38,000 and New York 23,000. The average of the new crop this year is somewhat larger than that of last year, and the yield promises well, the nut being generally better filled and matured than for the past two years, and of finer quality! The past year was marked by fewer changes than any former one; by a moderate but steady consumptive demand; by an absence of speculation; and by the small proportion of choice white nuts. Tennessee peanuts are put up in burlap bags of four to five bushels capacity, and are sold by the pound, the grades being respectively inferior, prime, choice and fancy. The crop year begins October 1 and ends September 30 of the ensuing year. The new crop will come forward under very favorable auspices. The pre-ed article. He watches carefully every improvement and constantly applies it to his business. That brow of his has success within it. At the close of every day he was a wiser man than at the beginning. That was his characteristic as a boy. He was an investigator into causes, and with mathematical accuracy he knew the relation between cause and effect. He early learned that one lie requires twenty others to support it. Imperfect articles never left his factory as genuine, for that he knew meant ruin and failure. An observant farmer knows that the ordinary native cow, if properly treated, will increase her supply of milk at least one-third. All she needs is development. The agricultural paper has that secret. The country school teacher, if he is thorough man, might enlighten the neighborhood and enrich the world by imparting knowledge of that kind. There are too few thorough farmers in America. The thorough manufacturer makes his mill famous. His brand is known at the remotest corner of the earth. It will be remembered that the name of Washington on his bale of cotton was a guarantee for honest weight, and a passport for the article, unweighed, wherever cotton was used. Washington was an honest as well as a thorough man. Here are boys and girls who have no force of character. They have not been well grounded at the fireside. They are thorough in nothing but sham jewelry and sham manners, and the question is opportune whether our churches and schools are doing their whole duty.—Y. Y. Witness. Governor John Winthrop at Home. The house which Winthrop occupied in Boston was a wooden one, standing near the Old South Church, and was taken down for firewood, along with other buildings, during the occupation of Boston by the British in the winter of 1775-76. The frame had first been set up in Cambridge, but afterward removed to Boston and placed near an excellent spring, which has left its mark behind in the neighboring Spring Lane. It is not likely that the house was one of much elaborateness, since Winthrop himself reproved his deputy for paying so much attention as he did to his waitscots and adornment, when the colony was poor and compelled to practice great economy; yet it most have been capacious enough for the entertainment of guests, and Winthrop's own household was large. At once time, when certain prisoners were brought to Boston, the Governor (Winthrop) "caused them to be brought before him in his hall, where was a great assembly." The furnishing of a house must necessarily have been for the most part with articles brought from England, and for a few years the dress also was of English make, though it was not long before the colonists began to look with satisfaction upon their sheep and the promise of wool they gave. Margaret Winthrop, as we have seen, came over a year and a half after her husband, and his letters to her name a great variety of articles of wear and consumption which she was bidden to bring. "Pease-pudding and fish are our ordinary diet," he writes to her; and then he calls for forty hogsheads of meal, for pease and oatmeal, dry Suffolk cheese, butter and tried suet, sugar and fruit, pepper and ginger, a hoghead of wine... The following dialogue is said to have taken place in the entrance-way of St. James's Hall, London, between Rubinstein and an anxious lady: "Oh, M. Rubinstein, I am so glad to see you! I have tried in vain to purchase a ticket. Have you a seat you could let me have?" "Madam," said the great pianist, "there is but one seat at my disposal, and that you are welcome to if you think fit to take it." "Oh! yes! and a thousand thanks. Where is it?" was the excited reply. "At the piano," smilingly said Rubinstein. In all policies of life insurance these, among a host of other questions, occur: "Age of father, if living?" "Age of mother, if living?" A man in the country, who filled up an application, made his father's age "if living"; one hundred and twelve years, and his mother's one hundred and two. The agent was amazed at this, and fancied he had secured an excellent customer; but, feeling somewhat dubious, he remarked that the applicant came of a very long-lived family. "O, you see, sir," replied he, "my parents died many years ago, but, 'if living,' would be aged as there put down." "Exactly—I understand," said the agent. Somebody said to Robert Hall: "How many discourses do you think, Mr. Hall, may a minister get up each week?" Answered Hall: "If he is a deep thinker and great condenser, he may get up one; if he is an ordinary man, two; but if he is an ass, sir, he will produce half a dozen." Faithfulness and fidelity are the highest things.—Confucius. Present Appearance of the Centennial Grounds. Day by day, as the winter advances and the work of removal progresses, the Centennial grounds become more and more cheerless, and now the prospect is one of indescribable desolation. Many of the asphaltum paves have been taken up, and the smooth avenues are transformed into deep-rutted wagon roads. The narrow gauge track is being partially removed, and the places of pleasure cars filled with freight trains, while the once brilliantly thronged structures stand as silent and deserted as the ruins of Pompeii. The lake is frozen over, and the fountain has become a crystal circle of gleaming ice. The wide parterres of flowers along the approaches to Horticultural Hall have long since disappeared, and even the dun-colored foliage plants have been removed. The Main Building, though still crowded with goods, presents only a promiscuous array of tightly-packed cases ready for shipment, hardly an exhibit now remaining in place. Among the few articles which may still be examined are the bronze and iron fountains and several pieces of statuary in the Italian department. The great organ which stood in the eastern end of the structure has been taken down and shipped back to Boston, but the New York organ in the north side still remains. The music stand in the centre of the building is again occupied by the custom-house officials, and several of the pavilions have been turned into temporary offices for employees of the terminal agency, customs brokers, etc.. Though a large amount of exhibits have been taken out of Machinery Hall, the place still resembles some mammoth freight depot, in which thousands of articles of all shapes and sizes are awaiting shipment. All the locomotives and nearly all the stationary engines, excepting the Corliss and the large blast engine near it, have disappeared, and the wondrous shaft borer, exhibited by a Belgian manufacturer, has been taken down, and most of the other goods in this section have been removed. The pavilions in both Machinery Hall and the main Building are left standing, and most of them will probably be utilized in the arrangement of the permanent exhibition. Agricultural Hall, which was the last to get in readiness for the opening of the Exhibition, is the first to be dismantled, nearly all the exhibits having been packed up and most of them removed.

Agricultural Hall, which was the last to get in readiness for the opening of the Exhibition, is the first to be dismantled, nearly all the exhibits having been packed up and most of them removed. This is one of the most cheerless structures on the grounds; the long, rambling transept are deserted save by occasional workman or the echoing tread of a lonely guard, and sparrows flit from post to post, picking up the remnants of grain exhibits, and chirping as fearlessly as though in the open air. From the Government Building nothing but a few private exhibits have yet been taken, but the labor of packing up the goods has rapidly progressed, and will be entirely completed in a few weeks. No visitors are now admitted into this building unless they have some special business entitlement to a permit. The only structure which seems unaffected by the mighty change is Horticultural Hall. This Oriental palace is still filled with rare plants from all sections of the globe, and, being artificially heated, is a favorite resort for the few visitors who enter the Centennial gates. With very few exceptions, all the paintings and statuary which have beautified Memorial Hall are in cases, and a large proportion of the American exhibits have been sent away. Rothermel's magnificent painting, "The Battle of Gettysburg," still remains in the United States section, and here and there may be found a small painting or piece of statuary as yet untouched, and several of the larger groups have not yet been disturbed. But in the dissolving of the old Exhibition may be seen many preparations for the new. Not only are most of the American Pavilions to be left standing, but the showy Brazilian court, the Mexican pavilion, the Spanish temple, the framework in the Swedish and Norwegian departments, and some of the finest show-cases in the German department of the Main Building all are to remain, and these alone will save much expense which would otherwise be necessary in the new enterprise. A large number of the Chinese pavilions have been engaged by the Smithsonian Institute for exhibition purposes. There are now nearly 2,200 applications for space, asking for more than the building can accommodate. Amongst these are the Turkish, who intend to have a much finer display of goods than in the old. The hardware exhibitors will nearly all remain in the American department, and several in the foreign. The Book Trade Association have applied for 10,000 square feet.

Medical Science in Serbia. The London Standard gives a unique picture of Serbian medical resources: Serbia has hitherto done without doctors. In a few of the large towns, no doubt, there were medical men, mostly brought up in Vienna, but in the villages there was absolutely none. Their place was—I should perhaps say—is supplied by "wise women" called "babas." These "babas" profess to have an intuitive knowledge of medicinal plants; but that intelligent being, the Serbian peasant, placed much less trust in their medical than in their magical skill. Their performance in this line was remarkable, and their rustic patients had every faith in it. The most commonly fatal diseases in Serbia are consumption and congestion of the lungs. The staple remedy for the latter ailment is to administer to the patient three apples grown on the same bough. If after eating these apples, which are supposed to have some mysterious connection with the Trinity, the patient feels no better, then, but not till then, the wise woman adopts more vigorous measures. The unfortunate malade is laid on the ground on his stomach, the wise woman scatters salt over him, and marches around him mumbling cabalistic words. This seems to be a kind of exorcism, and would indicate a belief that the illness is caused by witchcraft or demoniacal possession. Disbanded.—The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: The company which has been playing the sacred drama of Daniel has disbanded. It seems that during the intermission Daniel and Belshazzar stepped out to get a drink, and one of the Chaldeans followed and wanted to bet that Louisiana had gone Democratic. A discussion ensued, and when the curtain rang up the Chaldean was unable to see out of one eye, and Belshazzar dropped out four front teeth in merely saying, "I am the King;" and the audience, being a critical one, took the ground that their appearance was not historically accurate, and demanded their money back.

When sentries issued its famous Midwinter Holiday Number in July, a friendly critic said of it: "We are not sure but that Scritter has reached high-status mark. We do not see what worlds are left to conquer." But the publishers do not consider that they have reached the ultimate tide of excellence—they believe "There are other worlds to conquer, and they propose to conquer them." The prospectus for the new volume gives the titles of more than fifty papers (mostly illustrated), by writers of the highest merit. Under the head of "FOREIGN TRAVEL," we have "A Winter on the Nile," by Gen. McClellan; "Sauterings About Constantinople," by Chas. Dudley Warner; "Out of My Window at Moscow," by Eugene Schuyler; "An American in Turkistan," etc. Three serial stories are announced: "NICHOLAS MINTURN," by Dr. Holland, the Editor, whose story of "Sevenoaks" gave the highest satisfaction to the readers of the Monthly. The scene of this latest novel is laid on the banks of the Hudson. The hero is a young man who has been always "tied to a woman's apron strings," but who, by the death of his mother, is left alone in the world—to drift on the current of life—with a fortune, but without a purpose. Another serial, "His Inheritance," by Miss Trapton, will begin on the completion of "That Lass o' Lowrie's," by Mrs. Hodgson Burnett. Mrs. Burnett's story, begun in August, has a pathos and dramatic power which have been a surprise to the public. There is to be a series of original and exquisitely illustrated papers of "Popular Science," by Mrs. Herrick, each paper complete in itself. There are to be, from various pens, papers on "HOME LIFE AND TRAVEL." Also, practical suggestions as to town and country life, village improvements, etc., by well-known specialists. Mr. Barnard's articles on various industries in Great Britain, include the history of "Some Experiments in Co-operation," "A Scottish Loaf Factory," in the November number, and "Toad Lane Richdale," in December. Other papers are, "The Britann Workingman's Home," "A Nation of Shopkeepers," "Hapenny a Week for the Child," etc. A richly illustrated series will be given on "American Sports by Flood and Field," by various writers, and each on a different theme. The subject of "Household and Home Decoration" will have a prominent place, whilst the latest productions of American humorists will appear from month to month. The list of shorter stories, biographical and other sketches, etc., is a long one. The editorial department will continue to employ the ablest pens both at home and abroad. There will be a series of letters on literary matters, from London, by Mr. Welford. The pages of the magazine will be open, as heretofore, so far as limited space will permit, to the discussion of all themes affecting the social and religious life of the world, and specially to the freshest thought of the Christian thinkers and scholars of this country. We mean to make the magazine sweeter and purer, and publish more generous and generous in all its A richly illustrated series will be given on "American Sports by Flood and Field," by various writers, and each on a different theme.

Whether for use on man or beast, Merchant's Gargling Oil will be found an invaluable Liniment, and worthy of use by every resident in the land. We know of no proprietary medicine or article now used in the United States which shares the goodwill of the people to a greater degree than this. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh."—N.Y. Independent. Extract from a letter from G.H. Simmonds, Unionville, Ia., July 24, 1873.—"I am selling more Gargling Oil than all the liniments put together, and I am keeping twelve different kinds. I think it is the best remedy for horse flesh in existence, and can say it without fear of successful contradiction." Extract from a letter from Shoemaker & Co., Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 17th, 1873.—"It is the popular horse liniment in this country." Extract from a letter from Geo. A. Snell, Braman's Corners, N.Y., Aug. 9th, 1873.—"I sell more of your Gargling Oil than of all other liniments combined, and have seen it used on horses and cattle with good effect when others have failed." Extract from a letter from Pattes & Co., Derry, N.H., Aug. 26th, 1873.—"We think your Gargling Oil one of the best articles for what it is recommended that we have ever used or sold." Extract from a letter from Snowdon & Gibbs, Concordia, Kann., July 26th, 1873.—"We sell more of your Gargling Oil than of any liniment we keep." Merchant's Gargling Oil as a Family Liniment. We are now, and have been for some years, preparing the Oil free from stain, to be used as a common liniment for human flesh, extracting the coloring ingredient which has heretofore remained objectionable. This Oil possesses all the medicinal properties of that prepared with the dark tinge for horses and cattle, and will be found one of the best remedies for all purposes where a liniment is required that has ever been manufactured. From J.K.Fisher, Unlontown, Pa., Jan. 21, 1871.—"Your Gargling Oil is doing much better here than formerly, since its virtues have become known; and the bottles put up for family use, without stain, are much sootter for." The Gargling Oil called "Family Oil," although prepared intentionally for human flesh, answers as well for beasts; vice versa, the dark Oil answers as well for human flesh, only if stain and discolor the skin, but not permanently. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh. Merchant's Gargling Oil as an Internal Remedy. Merchant's Gargling Oil is a diffusible stimulant and carminative. It can be taken internally when such a remedy is indicated; and is a good substitute for pain killers, cordials and anesthetics. For Cramps or Spasm of the Stomach, Colic, Asthma, or Internal Pain, the dose may be fifteen to twenty drops on sugar, or mixed with syrup in any convenient form, and repeated at intervals of three to six hours. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh. MERCHANT'S GARGLING OIL Is the Standard Liniment of the United States. Established 1825.
