A most unflattering view of New York is taken editorially by the Philadelphia Timet, which avers that even New York ers "are beginning to recognize that Manhattan island is the poorest apology for « great city to be seen in the civil ized world.” From the same source it is learned that there ia net " among ths races of men a more squalid, ignoble, uninviting stretch of indigence and to- dos try than the water treats of Manhat tan island, from Bpoytoa Dwyvfl to ths Battery, oo both riven,” As far our with the exception of a faw ft Is " moae repulsive ths Ghettos ef the oM MalffiM are told by "Now, la ana, all you have to do is to multiply the test term by 3 and subtract 1 from toe orodocti" Henry performed the operation, and announced the result aa 1.466.606,287,- 463,806 grama. "That is a big mm, is it not?” asked his father, with a merry twinkle in his eye. “ Yes. indeed I I wonder how mar<y bushels it would make. FD go to the crib in the morning and shell a quart and count the grains; then by multiply ing that by 33 it will give the grains in s bushel, and by dividing that into the whole number of grains the boy re ceived. it will give the bushels.” The next morning Henry went ont to the crib and brought in. enough L .com to fill a quart measure when shelled. Bat counting the grains wse a bigger job than he imagined. " The quickest way, Henry,” said his father, “is to weigh an ounce of own, count the grains, multiply that by six teen to get the number of grains in a pound, and that by fifty-six to get ths number of grains in a bushel.” Henry jumped at the suggestion, and found that seventy-five grains weighed an ounce, and that there were 67,300 grains in a bnahel Then dividing, he found that for kite ▼ ear’s wages the boy would receive 21,675,434,903 Stuhato "That is teem than has been rawed to the whole United Stales ter ton yean peel.” said h» father, "and would make toe hoy worth as maeh as Ymtortllt, toe grote rafeewd man.” "I abated totok 11 was a gn«d bar ffMa $m Mti or bvteg, who was livtog at Hooetok. .Oaooe he wae the central figure at an melting gls betwma rival Baptist organ i,aa- te toe town ef North Pownal, to maty, Vk For many yean toe town bed two sects of Bapttela, the Hard-Shells and the Beveato-Dey Neither am aa well as the elders thought they ought, and it was finally agreed by them that the two bodies should unite and work in baraouy with the Baptist A church was built in by the two sects, and written articles were signed where by each sect agreed to Bee the building every alternate Sunday for re ligious services.
