Burlington Hawk-Eyetown. The heaviest crop this year will be the fall elections. The average base ball game is made up on two parts: base hits to eight parts of arnica. A Washington paper is called The Anell. We presume there are lots of beats on it. We can't have a larger standing army in this country until the street cars are made bigger. The czar has the best generals, but the sultan has the most correspondents, hence the numerous Turkish victories. General Butler, sailing down the Atlantic coast, is yacht visible to the eye of restless sailors ashore. We have received an exchange called The Christian at Work. Ah, ha! Gone back to the old prices, we presume? The St. Louis Times says, "Not every poor devil is a tramp." Exactly; and every tramp is not such a poor devil. A mosquito cannot fly as high as an eagle, but he can bully all the Christian graces out of a man a great deal quicker. The numerous depredations of town boys have made watermelon patch and shot gun synonomous terms in Iowa this summer. Cause always precedes effect. That is the reason your lawyer always wins (or loses) your case before he takes all your effects. The sting of a hornet will paralyze a spider. It has a directly opposite effect on man, rousing all his faculties into the wildest and most vigorous action. Burlington man to fruiterer: "Give me twenty-five cents worth of grapes." Fruiterer, in amazement: "We don't cut our grapes; you'll have to take a whole one." The Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia is a graduate of Yale college, and his whole name, when it appears on parade, aligns itself as follows, "Colonel Frederick William Mackey Holiday." A man needs a holiday at the end of such a name as that. In Switzerland they hoist a white flag over the prisons to show when they are empty. We are glad this custom does not prevail in the United States. It would add to the already enormous The Ant-Lion. I was going into a deep forest alone on foot, with my blanket, and food, and cooking utensils on my back. The day was very hot, and the road seemed very lonely and long. Just before plunging into the woods, I passed over a piece of land which some hunter's fire had burned over. Nothing was left but here and there a fall stump of a tree, blackened by the fire and entirely dead, and now and then a great rock which had its covering all burned off, and was left to be bleached in the sun, and to be pelted by the storms. Under the shadow of one of these huge rocks I sat down to rest. Every bird was still, and every leaf hung motionless on the trees, and the only sound to be heard was the murmur of a distant waterfall far away in the forest. "I am now," I said to myself, "beyond the reach of men, and almost beyond animal life; I can't see a living thing moving; this is solitude!" Just then I noticed something that caused the sand to fly up from the middle of my foot-path; and looking carefully at it, I soon satisfied myself what it was. It was a small insect that had burrowed down into the sand, and with his tail or some other apparatus (I could not see what) he was throwing up the sand fast and thick. How it flew! In a few minutes he had made for him a hole about the size and depth of a large coffee cup. It was shaped very much like a coffee cup, as nearly as the dry sand would take that shape. The sand was dry in a few moments, and of course would very readily roll down into the center. I had read of the creature, but had never seen one before. He was a little; dark-looking fellow; and now he put himself in the center of his den, and pushing himself into the sand, there was nothing to be seen but a little black horn, as it appeared to be, sticking out in sight. It looked as if it might be the point of a small rusty needle. This was the ant-lion, and that was his den. After the sand was dry, and the hunter was still—buried in the sand, I had a specimen of his skill and power. A little red ant came running along, seeking food for herself and her young. So she climbed up on the rim of this sandy cup, and peeped over to see if she could see anything. Presently she seemed to suspect danger, and tried to scrabble off. Alas! it was too late; and the sands rolled. Intercourse Car The following is a passage submitted by the secretary graphic Society at Cairo: A plan occupying the Lesseps has regard to the direct route by sea between and the Pacific oceans.

As regards the canal that mus of Darien, the quarrel to the plan before us, wogging of a canal which, for Atrato, would see it marked out between the Northern and Southern America. It would The Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia is a graduate of Yale college, and his whole name, when it appears on parade, aligns itself as follows, "Colonel Frederick William Mackey Holiday." A man needs a holiday at the end of such a name as that. In Switzerland they hoist a white flag over the prisons to show when they are empty. We are glad this custom does not prevail in the United States. It would add to the already enormous annual expenses of the government as high as ten or fifteen cents in a good year. "Sir!" exclaimed a long-suffering Burlington creditor, whose patience was entirely exhausted. "Sir! I have sent you no less than seventeen bills for this one lot of goods, and what have you done with them?" "Vetoed 'em; vetoed every last one of 'em," was the calm reply, as the debtor lit a fifteen cent cigar and hailed a street car. A number of juvenile attendants are appointed for the young emperor of China, who earn their salary by receiving the whippings which would, in the natural order of events, fall to the lot of infant majesty. And it is worthy of note that all the boys in America would like to be whipped on the Chinese plan. Ex-Governor Packard has gone out of politics, and spends all his time feeling the gums of the twins for teeth, and trying to teach them to talk. And when the twins are simultaneously smitten with the worst kind of nocturnal anticollination colic, Packard just sits up in bed and holds his hands over his ears and says, "Merciful heavens! This is worse than the river parishes." The Boy Hero. In a sermon designed to teach that a life of self-sacrifice is the only life worth living, a New York preacher tells the following touching anecdote: A rough teacher in a school called up a poor, half-starved lad, who had violated the laws of the school, and said: "Take off your coat, sir!" The boy refused to take it off. The teacher said again, "Take off your coat," as he swung the whip through the air. The boy refused. It was not because he was afraid of the lash—he was used to that at home—but it was from shame; he had no undergarment. And as at the third command he pulled slowly off his coat there went a sob through the school. They saw then why he did not want to remove his coat, and they saw the shoulder blades had almost cut through the skin, and a stout, healthy boy rose up and went to the teacher of the school and said: "O sir, please don't hurt this poor fellow! Whip me. He's nothing but a poor chap. Don't hurt him; he's poor. Whip me!" "Well," said the teacher, "it's going to be a severe whipping; I am willing to take you as a substitute." "Well," said the boy, "I don't care. You may whip me if you will let this poor fellow go." The stout healthy boy took the scourgge pushing himself into the sand, there was nothing to be seen but a little black horn, as it appeared to be, sticking out in sight. It looked as if it might be the point of a small rusty needle. This was the ant-lion, and that was his den. After the sand was dry, and the hunter was still—buried in the sand, I had a specimen of his skill and power. A little red ant came running along, seeking food for herself and her young. So she climbed up on the rim of this sandy cup, and peeped over to see if she could see anything. Presently she seemed to suspect danger, and tried to scrabble off. Alas! it was too late; and the sands rolled under her feet, and down she went to the bottom; when in an instant that little black horn opened like a pair of shears, and "clip," and the poor ant had one leg cut off! Now she saw her danger, and struggles to mount up the sides. The lion did not move or show himself. He knew what he was about. And now the thing struggles to climb up; but one leg is gone, and she finds it hard work. But she got almost to the top and almost out, when the sands slip, and down she rolls again to the bottom. "Clip" goes the shears, and a second leg is gone. She now seems terrified beyond measure, and struggles hard; but she gets up but a little way before she slips again, and another leg is off! She now gives up the struggle, and the lion devours her in a few minutes, and then, with a snap of his tail or paddle throws the skin of the ant entirely out of the cup, and the trap is now set for another. A fly crept down to see what was smelling so good there; and again "clip," and his wing was off! and he was a second course of the dinner. I found several more dens, and around them lay the skins of the dead, but the inside looked clean and innocent. There was no lion to be seen, but the destroyer was there! The dead are shoved out of sight. O ant-lion! you are a preacher to me. I now see how it is that our young men, as they walk over sandy places, have their feet slide. They go into the hotel. It is fair and inviting. They take a glass of drink; and "clip," they are crippled. They will soon roll back and take another, every time less and less able to escape, every time the destroyer cutting off their power to escape. They go to places of sin, and know not that the dead are there! Ah! every fall makes the next easier, and the probability of escape less and less. I see how it is with our children. They go into the street, they fall into bad company, and every profane word they hear, every improper word they use, every indelicate thought they allow, is like having a leg cut off; they go feebly, and can hardly escape ruin. O ant-lion! I wish all our children could see THEE, so cunning for mischief, so cruel to thy victims, so much like that lion, the wicked one, who seeketh "whom he may devour." Surrounded by FLATTERERS AND DECEIVERS.

"Well," said the boy, "I don't care. You may whip me if you will let this poor fellow go." The stout, healthy boy took the scourging without an outcry. Probably not one of our readers but will say, "Bravo!" But how many will not only admire but imitate the spirit of that self-sacrifice.—Youth's Companion. A JAPANESE LEGEND.—The Japanese have a curious legend of a stonecutter, who became discontented with his lot in life. He first expressed the very common wish, "Oh! that I were rich." This being granted by the gods, he next wished to become a king, so that he might have power. In this station he still found a source of discontent, so after many changes, he wished to become a rock, which even the floods could not move. This being granted, he, for a time, enjoyed his newly-acquired power, for neither the burning sun, rushing wind, nor roaring flood had power to move him. But one day a man with a sharp chisel and heavy hammer came along, and began to cut stones out of the rock, and the rock said: "What is this, that the man has power over me, and can cut stones out of my bosom? I am weaker than he. I should like to be that man!" And then came an angel out of heaven, who said: "Be this as you have said;" and the rock became a stonecutter, and he cut stones with hard labor, for small wages, and was contented. The World tells the story of a dog which saved the lives of a ship's crew at Colombo. A ship named the Julia Ann, having grounded, a difficulty arose as to how a line could be got from the ship to land in order to rescue the crew. Several ineffectual efforts were made when the captain thought him of fastening a line around the body of the ship's dog, a fine retriever. The dog was thrown overboard, and at once swam with the line to the shore, whereby the captain, his wife and the whole crew were thereafter safely landed. Blessed are they who work for themselves, SURROUNDED BY FLATTERERS AND DECEIVERS.—One of the greatest difficulties which the head of a nation encounters in the administration of government arises from the impracticability of his obtaining accurate information on public affairs. This remark generally holds good of the President of the United States. The cloud of flatterers who surround the White House envelop him, and shut out the sunlight of truth from his mind. It might be supposed that he would be enlightened by the press. But a President's time is so taken up with attention to office-seekers and to his official duties that he finds little time to read, and pains is taken by interested parties to poison his mind as to articles in the papers which might be useful to him. It is said that in Turkey, even during this critical period of its great struggle with Russia for the maintenance of its own national existence, the Sultan has been kept almost entirely in the dark as to what is going on. He is desirous of knowing the truth; but those who surround his palace have thus far succeeded in deceiving him, and in making him believe the Turkish arms had been successful, even where they encountered their worst defeats. So even as great a man as Louis Napoleon was utterly deceived as to the condition of his own army, when he engaged in his fatal conflict with Germany. Those to whom accurate information is most essential seem to labor under the greatest difficulty in obtaining it.—N. Y. Ledger. OUR VICES.—From whisky, tobacco and beer the United States government has collected a revenue of one hundred million dollars, which seem to indicate that people have not stinted themselves as to their "pleasant vices" on account of hard times or because of anxiety over the difficult constitutional problems. The sixty-two million five hundred thousand gallons of spirit distilled from grain and molasses, and the million barrels of beer on which the greater part of this tax was collected is a very extensive tipple even for forty millions of people. This little Niagara of exhilarating fluids would supply about eight gallons for each voter.

The following is a part of a report submitted by the secretary of the Geographic Society in Cairo: A plan occupying the mind of M. de Lesseps has regard to the opening of a direct route by sea between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. A railroad may perform that service, but it is not sufficient. A canal must be built to complete the work of the Suez canal by permitting ships to travel round the world in a straight line and everywhere receive and discharge merchandise. A Geographic Commission has been appointed in France to examine all plans submitted. The great significance of this undertaking has been fully comprehended in the United States, and the Government has appropriated 40,000,000 francs for preliminary studies and grading. An English-French society, in possession of a concession for the construction of the Canal of Darien, have instituted an exploratory expedition, to begin preliminary studies in those parts. To infer from the labors thus far effected, that out of seven or eight routes, from that of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to that of Darien, the latter, or that of Nicaragua, has been selected. The plan of Darien would have had precedence, as a canal could be constructed there without locks, as had been stated. A large number of locks retards the passage very materially. At each lock a vessel is detailed half an hour at least. What would be the result if thirty-seven vessels are to pass through on the same day, as was the case lately in the Suez canal? Let it be as it may, this much is certain, that in case the plan of the Canal of Darien, which, according to M. de Lesseps, is to be preferred, is not accepted, none but the canal of Nicaragua can be mentioned. A small space separates the broad surface of the Lake of Nicaragua from the Pacific Ocean, while at the entrance, as well as at the outlet of the canal, there would be two harbors—San Juan del Norte (Greytown) and San Juan del Sur (Rivas). As regards the canal through the Isthmus of Darien, the question, according to the plan before us, would be the digging of a canal which, fed by the river Atrato, would see its natural route marked out between the cordilleras of the Northern and Southern Continent of America. It would run out in the basin of Caracas and flow into the Centre of Vitality. The life of the fish and the brain, the bones and the muscles is the blood. It is the centre of vitality, the nutrition of the system. Not only must it be pure, but rich in order to retain health. In the fast and desirilized, the life current is watery and its circulation diaphragm. The muscles of such persons lack solidity, the nerves are weak, the vague haggard, and the eye imminent. A course of Hosteller's Storack Bitterns, however, improves not only the health but the appearance of the debilitated and nervous. Nutrition then becomes complete because digestion receives an impetus from this benignant tonic, which fertilizes the blood, brings back "the rose tint of health" to the wan cheek, brightness to the eye, and gives power of endurance to the muscle. Invalida hasten to use it! The California Glove Co. Progress is the watchword of the age, onward movement is perpetual, and, in commerce perhaps more than in anything else. No one can afford to stand still; if he does so he will be pushed aside and trodden into insignificance. However, the energy and enterprise of our citizens leave little to be desired in the way of advancement. Every trade is numerously represented here; and even interests, which were supposed, at one time, to be beyond Californian scope and to be localized in Eastern or European cities are beginning to find that San Francisco has room to receive them and talent to work them successfully. We apply these remarks at present to the manufacture of gloves, an industry that has obtained quite a foothold in California. We take pleasure in connecting with the foregoing observation of the name of the California Glove Company, conducted by Messrs. P. & F. G. Conklin, at No. 419 Battery street, San Francisco. The company have been established here about 12 years, and are the pioneer and leading house in the business. The manufacture of buckskin gloves is specially with this house, but they also make up a great variety from other material, such as kid, dog, lamb, etc., and, in their season, cloth and blanket gloves for use in the cold sections of this and adjoining states and territories. The company consume annually about forty thousand skins of various kinds, which are cut into gloves, furnishing employment to fifty hands as cutters, tanners and makers, thus retaining in the State thousands of dollars that would otherwise be sent abroad. We take especial pleasure in introducing this firm to our readers' notice, inasmuch as it is purely Californian concern, carried in our midst, giving remunerative work to many persons in the city, and standing on its own merits without seeking the prestige given by importations from the East. This energy and enterprise have borne fruit in immense patronage, showing the estimation in which goods of this house are held, and the California Glove Company's success in native glove manufacture should give lively satisfaction to public spirited Californians.

A discovery that will rank among the most important in astronomy was made at Washington, on the night of the 16th inst., by Prof. Asaph Hall. The planet Mars, since the invention of the telescope, has proved more convenient for examination, and there is more known about it than any other celestial object, not even excepting the Moon, since of that only one side is ever turned toward us. Venus, though nearer us than Mars, is never seen to as great advantage. All who have studied the characteristics of Mars have been struck by its similarity in many particulars to the earth; such as having continents and seas; frozen poles where the progress of winter and summer can be alternately traced; a day of about the same length as ours; an atmosphere over portions of which clouds are hitting. But the one thing in which Mars was supposed to differ totally from the earth was the absence of a moon. That reproach is now taken away from the red planet, thanks to the twenty-six-inch refractor at the United States Naval Observatory, and the labors of Prof. Hall. At the present time Mars is in a better position for close observation than has been the case for several years. The refracting telescope of the Observatory is the best instrument of its kind which has ever been turned toward the sky. Yet in the hands of less experienced and alert observers this discovery would never have been made. For, strange to say, the existence of a satellite of Mars had not been suspected, while the traditions of modern astronomy are rife with speculations. Epicurean Resort.

It is not the first triumph of the great refractor, whose object-glass is probably the most perfect piece of workmanship that Alvan Clark & Sons of Cambridge, Mass., have ever produced, for that instrument signalized its entry into the field of research by determining the number of the moons of Uranus. That, though important to astronomical science, was not a discovery with any ultimate bearings. The fact that Mars has one or more satellites will be hailed as a new proof of the nebular hypothesis, as their supposed absence had been urged as one of the weaknesses of that theory.—New York Tribune. Why Persons Are Drowned—Persons are drowned by raising their arms above water, the unbuoyed weight of which depresses the head. When a man falls into deep water he will rise to the surface, and will continue there if he does not elevate his hands. If moves his hands under the water any way he pleases his head will rise so high as to allow him full liberty to breathe and if he will use his legs as in the act of walking up-stairs his shoulders will rise above the water so that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to any other purpose. These plain directions are recommended to the recollection of those who have not learned to swim in their youth, as they may be found highly advantageous in preserving valuable life.—Woburn Advertiser. Nothing so discourages a young man at a picnic as to fall over a log and lose his rear anspender battons. It's hard work to stick thorns in place of them.
