Burlington Hawk-Eyetems. Farmers are not in very great danger from fires, for every farm has well organized hoes companies, spade by the farmer. You can shoot with one eye closed, but a snoring match is the only game in which a blind man stands just as good a chance as anybody else. One day last week, down in Missouri, a man was struck by lightning while playing croquet. Heaven's vengeance, though long delayed sometimes, is awfully certain. Times are dreadfully hard in Ohio. Unless a man is trustee of some orphan asylum, fund or administrator on some good estate, it is just all he can do to make a living. A young man, who has just started a newspaper down in Arkansas, writes us for an appropriate motto for his journal. Daily? Yes! Ah well, then, take "Vain world, adieu." London consumes one hundred and twenty million gallons of water every day. Either London must be fearfully drunk all the time, or else it dilutes its cocktails frightfully. People living along the Des Moines river have begun their usual summer recreation of seeing alligators climb out on the banks of that limpid stream. Francis Murphy, come out here before the sea serpent gets after these deluded people. An agricultural correspondent writes to correct what he thought to be an erroneous statement that recently appeared in this column relative to cows giving butter milk. We adhere to our original statement. We never saw a cow give anything else but her milk. Several Burlington people who locked up their houses and went to "Europe" early, in the summer returned from Yellow Springs yesterday, in farm wagons. The tourists look brown and healthy and without exception proved excellent sailors, and escaped sea sickness so entirely that they are unable to even tell what it is like. The cruel fates never appear half so grim and pitiless as when they marry a girl who has gone through Vassar and can play divinely, paint like an angel, dance like a fairy, and slam the front door in seven languages, to a man who owes for the clothes he was married in, begs his tobacco, and buys his wood half a cord at a time. The other afternoon a gentleman who had no business to listen was stunned.

The other afternoon a gentleman who had no business to listen was strolling in the vicinity of a croquet ground, and heard a manly voice, in tones of earnest exposition, say: "But, dearest, your ball was laying away over here. I am positive." "You wretch," came back a soft-responsive murmur, "if you dare to say I cheat, I'll raise a lump on you with the mallet that you couldn't cover with a breadbowl." Thus does croquet develop the tenderest feelings of a sympathetic nature. YESTERDAY morning a boy sauntered up to a yard on Eighth street, where a woman was scratching up the bosom of the earth with a rake, and leaning on the fence, said, "Are you going around into the back yard after awhile?" The woman said she didn't know; maybe she would; why? "Because," the boy said, "I just saw the cistern lid drop on the baby's head a minute ago, and thought if you went around you might lift it off." It is currently reported that the woman went. Nervous gent, who has gone west for his health, disrobing in his room in hotel, in Idaho, sees strange boots under the bed. Violent and tumultuous bell. Enter porter. "Porter, am I in the wrong room? Whose boots are those?" Porter, reassuringly: "Oh, yes, sir, it's all right, sir; this is your room, sir. Last gentleman slept in this room, sir, somebody cut his throat, sir. Them's his boots, sir. Ought to be taken away before, sir. I'll take em now, sir. G'night, sir." Nervous guest sits up and hears strange noises all night; hair turns gray before morning. Feels much healthier when he gets on the train and starts east. Explains to landlord that he likes the climate, but his mother is alone and he has to hurry back home. YESTERDAY morning a careless man out on South Hill threw a mug of hot shaving water out of a second story window. Instantly the pale air was streaked with shrinks, and, looking out, he saw he had emptied the treacherous element on the head of his wife, who was digging in the geranium bed with a pine stick. He leaned out of the window to laugh in hollow accents, when the sash fell with frightful velocity, shutting of his wind. His wife, dismayed at her unexpected shower bath and appalled at her husband's situation, turned to run into the house and release him, and in her haste ran against the baby's cab, upsetting it and hurling the baby upon a cactus plant. The domestic, up stairs, hearing the shrinks in the front yard, and doubting not the baby had been devoured by a tramp, sprang down stairs to the rescue with such alacrity that she only touched two steps, the first and the last one tumbling over our New Jersey overflow. Though there are not at hand statistics upon which to base an accurate statement of the fact, yet it is the opinion of all observers of the condition of civilized peoples that the average longevity of the human race has increased within a hundred years. Such reports of the death rate as we have go to support that conclusion, and it is thoroughly proved that the devastations of epidemic diseases are not so great now as formerly; while the medical art steadily advances in its mastery of the disorders of the human system and in its ability to ward off and check maladies which threaten human life. In England, for instance, the death rate has declined considerably during a quarter of a century. There and elsewhere in Europe, as also in this country,the subject of public hygiene has received great attention of recent years, and its difficulties are being steadily overcome. The probability is that men now on the average live longer than their ancestors and in better average health, and that our descendants will gain on us in those respects. As to great cities, New York is easily third. If it took in all its children., it would press hard on Paris for the second place, and before the next century is reached, or before it has advanced far, will probably know no superior except marvelous London. The Sugar Business. In all of the great seaports of England and America the sugar business is about the largest importing trade. London, in six months of the present year, received 455,000 tons of new sugars. This would constitute the cargoes of at least one thousand ships, barks and brigs, such as are generally employed in the sugar trade. Boston alone, in six months of the present year had nearly three hundred and fifty ships, brigs, barks and schooners arriving at this port entirely loaded with sugars. This fleet gave to our commercial interests a vast business; for the remaining four months of 1877 we may not receive more than one hundred cargoes. The seven months of 1877 have shown probably the largest sugar trade that Boston has ever known. The receipts have been about 90,000 hogsheads and nearly half a million baskets from the East and West Indies. The receipts at Philadelphia and Baltimore have been very light in comparison with Boston, and large quantities of sugars have been sold here for those markets and also for New York. With the exceptions of a few scattering cargoes from the West Indies and some nine or ten vessels from the East Indies due in August and September, the bulk of the entire receipts for the past year have now arrived.—Boston Post. THE HANDICAPPED NATIONS.—A writer in an English magazine contends that the whole business world for the twenty years preceding 1873 was squandering money under the influence of flush times, and has now become poor, and must be many years in recovering real prosperity. One great difficulty which weighs heavily upon the European nations, and which will make their recuperation slower than that of the United States, is the burden our New Jersey overflow.

A gentleman and lady—young, gay, and handsome, with that peculiar look of gratified and complacent consciousness which indicates the first few weeks of married life, crossed the bridge. They regarded not the petition of the beggar, so just as they passed him, he exclaimed, "May the blessing of the Lord, which brings love, and joy, and wealth, and a fine family, follow you all the days of your life." A pause—the couple passed headlessly on, and the beggar added, "and never overtake you." The discovery of the satellite of Mars is owing to the fact that this planet is many millions of miles nearer the earth at present than for nearly eighty years. Take a good look at Mars now; you will not see him so bright again for nearly a century to come—and it is a trifle doubtful if you will then. Virginians claim that since the whipping-post was re-established most of the jails have been emptied, petty crimes have almost ceased, and vagrants are seen no more in the streets. THE HANDICAPPED NATIONS.—A writer in an English magazine contends that the whole business world for the twenty years preceding 1873 was squandering money under the influence of flush times, and has now become poor, and must be many years in recovering real prosperity. One great difficulty which weighs heavily upon the European nations, and which will make their recuperation slower than that of the United States, is the burden of their immense warlike establishments in time of peace. The following table shows the state of things at a glance: | Population | Army in Peace | | :--- | :--- | | Great Britain | 34,000,000 | | France | 37,000,000 | | Germany | 48,000,000 | | Austria-Hungary | 36,000,000 | | Italy | 27,000,000 | | Belgium | 5,500,000 | | United States | 38,000,000 | This is very gratifying to our nation so far as it goes, and it probably will count largely in our favor. Still, it must be admitted that we are about the most extravagant and reckless people on the face of the earth, and unless we have learned something from the experience of the hard times, and have become more economical, individually, socially and municipally, we may yet be distanced in the race for prosperity by such nations as France and Belgium.—Boston Journal. THE DISCOVERY OF BOTTLED BEER.—The virtues of bottled beer were discovered by good Alexander Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's. In the reign of Queen Mary he was Master of Westminster School, and one day, when he was amusing himself with his rod (not his birch), but his fishing rod) he received intelligence that Bonner had designs against him. Being by no means desirous of becoming a light in the literal sense of the word, he determined upon immediate flight; and having little time, and probably less appetite, he left his basket of prog, which he had provided for the day, under the bank, in a place where he had concealed it. Fortune favored the future Dean, who found a London merchant willing and ready to convey him across the seas. Returning in happier days, upon the accession of Elizabeth, he thought of revisiting the scene of his alarm, and there he discovered his basket, where he had left it, and in it his bottle of beer, or rather as Fuller tells us: "no bottle, but a gun, such was the sound as the opening thereof."—London Society.

The "Bone and Snaw" Of our country have often—especially about election time—been made the subject of land-attention; but when these useful parts of the human structure become too visible in consequence of leanness they can scarcely be called graceful. The eye delights not to dwell upon angles and ridges in either man or woman. Moreover, extreme emaciation is a sign of imperfect digestion and consequent poverty of the blood. Both these evils are remedied by Hostetter's Stomach Bitterns, which render digestion an assimilation keratitis, in consequence of which the blood acquires richessness and the body substance. Thus are the hollow places filled up and the angles rounded off. Through the instrumentality of this peaceless aid to digestion and promoter of physical well being, the body rapidly gains in vigor, color returns to the hollow cheek, the appetite improves, nervous symptoms vanish, and a healthful impetus is given to every vital function.

COMMERCIAL HOTEL SAN A protest of white laborers, against fixing legal compensation of Government employees and leaving that of mechanics and laborers at the whim of individuals. Referred. Of 21,000 workingmen in the Twelfth Congressional District of Pennsylvania, for a Government loan to aid settlers on the public domain. Kelley arose and said: "I desire to present the petition of a citizen of the United States, asking Congress so to change the financial system of the country [interruptions by laughter] as that laboring people shall not appeal to the Government for means of expatriation of themselves and their posterity, and that they may continue to live in the homes of their choice, and pursue the callings to which they have been trained. Signed, Wm. D. Kelley. Referred to Committee on Education and Labor. From letter carriers of Chicago for increased compensation. Referred. Washington Notes. PROGNOSTICATIONS of the adjournment of Congress next week, or very soon afterward, should be received as only speculative possibilities, or at furthest, expressions of the present desires of certain individual members. It is unquestionably true that strong influences are at work to effect an early adjournment, as the means of averting public division in the ranks of both parties prior to the November elections, and in order to give members free scope for political work and party agreement, if possible, concerning important questions which will come up during the regular winter session. But nevertheless it does not seem probable that the indispensable deficiency appropriation bill can be put through both Houses before the November elections, and thereafter there will be comparatively a slight incentive for adjournment. Meanwhile there is a good deal of private cancusing between Eastern and Western men of both parties as to the proposed introduction of the so-called soft money resolution in the House. Eastern men want it held back until the 6th proximo; and in the interests of harmony and for other obvious reasons this will doubtless be agreed to. The Senate Judiciary Committee met late in secret. It is known that the Pacific Railroad Sinking Fund question, as presented by Thurman's bill, was under consideration. Jay Gould, in behalf of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, submitted statements supporting the recommendations of the Government Directors. Kellogg and Spofford contestants for seats in the Senate, made statements before the Senate Election Committee one day last week. The Committee, after hearing the statements, held a secret session, ordered the printing of the statements and adjourned. Third Assistant Postmaster-General Hazen has completed the estimate of appropriations for the expenditures of his office for the next fiscal year. They aggregate $20,500 as against $1,150,000 appropriated for the present year, a decrease of $840,000, or about 21 per cent. The published reports that the English Mission will be offered to General Grant seem to be wholly conjectural. Two members of the Cabinet said that there is no foundation for it.
