An article which appears in All the Year Hound gives this interesting description of the primitive methods of triulo which still obtain in the new Conco Free State. South America; I When a sufficient number of the men have crowded into the room to fill the space before the rail, they are admitted through it by the headmen, and squat in squads upon the floor before the weighing machine, at which the trader takes his seat, while his assistant stands at the shelves, ready to redeem the little chits or "books," as thev are rnllnrl which tVio onninr mnn will give for the number of "longs" which he may agree to pay to each man for his produce. The produce? in little mat bags containing- from ten to thirty-two pounds (an arroba), and Bometimes but a handkerchief-full of rubber, peanuts or gum copal?he puts into the scale. If it is satisfactory in quality it is bargained for in the "longs" referred to?so many for so many pounds of peanuts, rubber or gum, according to the value of the produce. On the first bargain made there depends much, as the most experienced and wily old black usually offers the first bag of produce of each kind. 33y the price he obtains all the others are guided, and, where there are more factories than one in a station, where he goes they all follow. After the bag of produce is bought or "passed in," as the term is, it is paid 1 for in the various articles of the trade, at the discretion chiefiy of the trader? 1 that is to say, no native can have his produce paid for solely in one article of trade. lie cannot have all cloth, or all muskets, or all powder; but ho must toko a selection of articles, the relative values of which are fixed by the "long," the standard of quantity and quality. This consists of six yards of common cotton cloth, or panno da costa; less of finer cloth, according to quality; more of coarser cloth; and so on until every article of the trade, to muskets and gunpowder, the most valuable in it, are disposed of in relation to the "long." As the bags are rapidly passed in, the contents are emptied out in heaps on a clear space of the lloor, and then the ivory men, or "bushmen" as they are called, knowing they have the raoro valuable articles to sell, though small In quantity in the present c;ise, come forward, and one of them unslings the tusk he has, and places it in a spring balance. It is examined for cracks, and the hollow root probed for mud or stones, and after the weight is ^ot at, a "mouth" or offer is made to the native "gentlemen," or brokers of # the "cabucca" (a caravan of ivory) in three articles of trade?muskets, powder and cloth, so many muskets, so many kegs of powder, so many yards r>f cloth, according to the weight of the "tooth" and the value of ivory. This is called the "bundle," which is afterward divided into a great many n pf i a! ^ 4 ? .. -1 - n>uuo3 ui truue, according to tixed I rules between the white traders and J the ' gentlemen" or "brokers," and at each exchange these "gentlemen" and the "headmen" of the factory keep something for themselves from the " bushraen." The method of buying ivory is distinct from that of buying any other kind of produce, and is intricate, and is supposed to be made so partly in order to puzzle the "bushmen" as to the real value of the ivory chey have to sell. These "bushmen" bring it from the very far interior, whence they have travelled for months, and ate easily bewildered, being, naturally, not nearly so sharp as the men of the coast tribes, who bring in the lesser kind of produce, and every man of whom is a born haggler. As with the other kinds of produce, what is given for the first lot or tooth" offered is the criterion of the relative value of all, and so difficult is it to fix a price, and so long a haggle takes place, that the "gentlemen* are told more than once to take it away. But they always come back to the charge, asking another keg of powder, or another gun, and coming down to a bottle of gin or a "long" of cloth, and then to something for "top" of the "bundle," which is always expected, and then tho "dash," or furtiier pres-1 ent, and top of all, the "matabicho" ? (Portugese, "kill-the-worm") or drink. In fact, there Us no end to the "squeezing" to whicra the white man is subject in the trai e witli these people, and this not only in ivory but in everything. Indeofl, the tiader has to be gi|^very wary to! prevent being overreach miuiiig wHBTT no inaKC.- up hl8 ' that uio cost, of the goo 8 he )>as , Bbvay. /anil tht* freight, an I the hjyta be it much fur the In England o" the. pro ' bought. . It is well on to noon before the last tooth is bought and paid for, and the o crowd of natives, who have been 8 storming and kfughing, chattering and I grumbling by turns, are turned out v into the yard, with their goods on their I heads, to take their way to the "town." j s When all are out, the cargo-room door ' n is locked, and the white men return to ! r ' t the dwelling part of the house, where ; t the native boys are setting breakfast s for them. 1: ? n Don't Stimulate the Young. I If you give to a healthy man of | ^ twenty, who has never tasted it, eith- c er a cup of tea or coffee, it will keep t him awake all night.

Simply that tea, coffee fermented and distilled liquors and a tobacco are in their nature medicinal L are, in brief, drugs, and that, at least ? while the body is growing, while it ? still has a superabundence of vital j, force, it does not need either the pre- r servative properties of tea or coffee, 01 11 the digestive and tonic ones of wine, 8 beer or brandy, or the soothing powei of tobacco, to keep it in health and well bt-ing; but that, on the contrary, ti when the youthful system is in its nat- g ural statt: and either is offered it, dis- 11 turbance, more or lees pronounced, if ? the result. tl What terrible responsibility, then, do mothers and fathers incur whc from babyhood allow their little children to drink tea or coffee,?nay, be- j fore the little things think of asking tl for it, tempt them to sip it out oi h their own teaspoon I "Women, from high to low, are always anxious to bt in fashion.

II ness. He had just come from his tent 01 Corporal Lewis was one of his ten> ii mates. Lewis, one of our best sol- u diers, was a general favorite, and es pecially so with Lieutenant Burnham one of the warmest hearted and moal sympathetic men in the army. As Barrows came near Lieutenan ^ Burnham his face grew more sad, and it y mournful tones he asked, "Lieutenant r did you hear about Corporal Lewis?' y, In his quick, impulsive way, the Lieu 11 tenant answered; "No; what is tin matter with him?" With a voici trembling with emotion Burrows slowly replied: "lie is now in his tent dye ing." With tears of heart-felt sorrow ? and sympathy coursing down hii cheeks, Burnham rushed to the sol- J 1 & diet's tent, exclaiming, "Poor Lewisl' ? Toor Lewis!" and found him?sitting ueiore a glass dyeing his new-growi Bh mustache.?"Army Life," by A.

The old E gentleman was asked one day if hi u could possibly preach a sermon with- ? out alluding to his favorite doctrine ? He snid he could, and would, if thej ? would give him a text without an] baptism in it. The first chapter ol }] Ezra, ninth verse, was selected, whicl icuus a? iouows: "Ana this is th< J number of them: thirty chargers o: gold, a thousand chargers of silver Cl nine and twenty knives."
