No organ of thought or action can be employ ed without the assistance of the blood, and no organ can be employed safely or with impunity without a supply of healthy blood. With healthy blood the exercised organs become well developed, whether they be muscular or intellectual. By the use of Krllows' Com pound Syrup of HjrpophoMphites the blood is speedily vitalized and purified, and so made capable of producing a sound mind and a sound body.

He had played for her ladyship's whim, Till the poor little head was heavy, ' And the poor little brain would swim. Aud the face grew peaked and eerie, Aud the large eyes strange and bright. And they said too late "He is weary ! He shall rest for, at least to-night !" But at dawn, when the birds were waking, As they watched in the silent room. With the sound of a strange cord breaking, A something snapped lu the gloom. Twas a string of his violoncello. And they heard him stir in his bed, "Make room for a tired little fellow, Kiud God !" was the last that he said. Austin Dobson. From Gar Hartford, (Conn.,) Corres - pondent. April 8th, 1880. Mr. Editor: By request I write you a few lines about this lovely Yau kee city, Hartford, I will commence by saying it is over fifty thousand strong and is one ef the oldest cities in the United States, having seen its 245th anniversary. But, strange as it may seem, Old Time deals kindly with it, for the older it grows the more hand some and wealthy it becomes. It is situated on the west bank of the. Connecticut liiver, about fifty miles from Long Island Sound, 114 miles from "Boating" as the Yankee calls it , and 110 miles from New York City. Its streets are very broad and very regularly laid off:, and made very pleasant by large and antique oaks aud elms on either side. Before the great fires of Chicago and Boston, this was considered the wealthiest city, according to its population, in the United States. But the .principal In surance companies being located here, those fires greatly diminished the ca pital of the wealthy citizens. There are a great many interesting incidents connected with the history of this city, which would fill a volume, it being the birthplace and residence of many of the prominent men of our nation. The law-givtr and standard of our language, Noah Webster, wai born here in 1758. Barnum owns property and spends much of his leisure here. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mark Twain and a Lost of others too numerous to men tion in this short epistle, also reside in Hartford. This is largely a manufacturing town, the aggregate value of manu factures being about ten-millions per year. The first steam locomotive ever con structed was made here by Dr. Kins ley in 1797. The first Deaf and Dumb Asylum of the United States was chartered hero Ln 1816. The handsome dwellings in and around Hartford aro beyond descrip tion. . . The public buildings are superb. The new court house now in process ef erection, will eost over a million of dollars when completed. The new State Capital built entirely of white marble, cost over three-millions of dol lars. It is a fine structure, profusely decked with bronze and marble statues. The Aetna, Charter Oak, Phoenix, and Travelers' Insurance Companies have their head quarters here. The only diminutive public building here is the State Penitentiary, which speaks well for Connecticut. The people of Hartford are regular "down-easters." Everybody seems to have been born and brought vp here, and have no disposition to leave. Their notions aro "out and dried," and aoth-J ing short of an earthquake will ever cause them to diverge from their regu lar leutine of every day life. The on ly real, original, unsophisticated, so cial, off-handed persou here, is Mark Twain alias Samuel C. He lives in a pleasant house on Farpington Ave., and has his kitchen in an upper room, so that his very sensitive olfactory nerves may not be disturbed by the unpleasant odors of the victuals, while he is in his study. One tiling surprised me. That was to find just as many verdant country, youths in this part of the country as in the west. In fact, there seems to be a surplus. They come in ti.wn eve ry Saturday with their pants stuck in their "butes," and their hands thrust into theii - pockets. They saunter around as if the whole world belonged to them. It makes me home-sick -to see them it reminds me of old Ne braska. Hartford can vie with the world for pretty girls: so you see I am in my element. Good-bye. More anon. E. D. Dennison. The published portraits of roe and their name is legion have generally failed to give due weight to one or the other of his preeminent characteris tics; his intellectual genius and his moody cynicism. He has either been represented as a sentimental dandy or as a bestial necromancer. Seribner's Monthly, however, has presented a por trait that "accounts" for what is best authenticated ef Poe; we refer to the beautiful wood engraving by Cole which is printed as a frontispiece in the May number, to accompany Mr. Stedman's study. This portrait was made from a daguerrotope taken by Masury ef Providence, prubably in 1848 (Poe died in 1S49), and represents him ?s, first of all, a poet. The broad domed forehead and the deep, fnward look cannot fail to impress one with his imaginative power, while the lines uuder the eyes, and, most of all, the settled curl of the lip, show as plainly hb the phrenologists could ask.the evi dence f those wild extravagances which saddened Poe's life and the lives of those about him. Mr. Stedman has never written a more important or careful essay, nor one which addresses iuei; more directly to both, English and Americans More Warehouse, Ac Mr. Metteer feeling agrieved at seme remarks allowed to appear in the Her ald sometime ago, asks to be justified and to have the privilege of replying in the sane channel, which we hereby accord him, hoping however that this will end the dispute. No good can come of hatching up these old quar rels, and. had the Herald noticed the original letter more closely it would net have been published . A REPLY TO "AX INTERESTED LOOK ER ON." Plattsmouth, Apr. 12, 1880. Ed. Herald: In reply to an article which appeared in your paper of March 25th, signed "An interested looker on," of Weeping Water. I have this to say to that gentleman (?) I only gave my views upon the subject, of a plan to build a warehouse, to be con trolled and operated by the farmer and grain buyers in conjunction. In it neither asked to become an interested party nor to become a stock oi share holder in the enterprise; my only ob ject being to have an expression of the views of farmers and others upon the merits of the proposed enterprise and if it should prove an advantage to the community at laree I should at least have the satisfaction of feeling that I had lent my feeble aid toward its f urth ering if nothing more, but "Looker on" has seen fit not to answer my article or give his views on the subject, but to make a cowardly and uncalled for attack upon my character as a man of business and an attempt to libel me, under the guise of a christian and a subscriber to the support of a church, when he knows full well that he nev er gave one cent in that direction, as the lists and books of the said church will testify. As to the charge he makes of my misappropriating the funds of said church and having a liti gation in regard te the same, I can prove tnem to be false, by the records ef the church and the report of the committee appointed to settle with me, and can there show a correct account of every cent entrusted to my care by said church. What this man thus attacks me for I do not know and I have no desire to have any further controversy with such a man through the columns ef a newspaper, therefore if he desires to learn all the particulars in regard my acts in the matter referred to can have them by calling on me. to he In we relation to the warehouse matter would still like to hear from others, and if there is any merit in it we would be glad to see some move made towards its accomplishment. Below we give a statement frern the church committee, which we hope will be sufficient to prove our actions.

The FraiikfurtcrZeitungpublishcsan interesting comparison of ilio budgets, national debts, and military expendi tures of European States in 18G5 and 1879. First of all, as regard Germany, her financial requirements in that in terval havo more than doubled. In 1865 she rejoiced in the comparative innocence of makin? both ends meet with a budget of 31,000,000; but she now finds it no easy task to satisfy the public needs with 66,000,000. The heaviest budgets in Europe are at the present moment those of France and Russia, France with an expenditure of some 119.000,000, and Russia with one of 107,000,000, the latter now pan kin"; before England by some 22,. 000,000. In 1365, Russia like Ger many required an income of less t han half as much. Her budget then ainouiitel to 51,000,000. There is not an Euro; .can State but has increas ed its expenditure since 18G5, the total for a 11 Europe having risen from 3y 8, 000,U0J to 5S5,UOO,000. As regards the nation tl ilcbU of the dillercnt Eiirit-'!iii States the same in tv be said of all, except England and Holland, which alone show a certain diminution of their debts. Russia especially haj inairtged to brin up hers from a mo lest 2:S,00 J.000 to t he respectable ii.tte of u00,0'jo,000, and she lias been closely followed by Spain and Italy, France now ranking first of all; while in 18G5 England was by far the most heavily-burdonod, standing before Kranoc to the extent of 250,000,000. The total debt of the Sia.es of Europe have risen from 1,200,000,000 to , 324,000,000. But the most interesting of all are those of the military expen diture. Oi' a total expenditure for Europe of 5S5,OO0,O00, 160,000,000 are devoted maintaining armies. In 1865, of 3Ji,OOJ,U00, 117,000,000 were duvo.ed to this department. Here, too, nearly every State has increased its expenditure, Gerunuy, France, an 1 Russia h-aading the list. Both in 18(35 and l&JO, however, Russia and E:il and aml first. Russia spent last year 3 o.O'XUXK), England 1,000,000 less France 27,000.000. and Germany 21,000,000. lu 1S35 the German ex- ndititru on war was estimated at Ci','i m.OJO. t he Aulro-IIungai'iuit at 11.5 10,000, the FrenoU at 17,000,000, liio U. itisM at 27,000,000, ami ti; Rus siuu '22joOO,oOo.

At a small country town there late ly died a middle-aged man, leaving a widow of thirty-five.

Lord Teighmouth relates that his tutor, the Rev.

"Sir," exclaimed a man from a remote part of the church, "it's a howl!" A Tariff of Tips. London Truth. Periodically the question of tips to servants crops up, and we are now in one of these recurrent )eriods. The other day, finding myself in the com pany of several gentlemen who visit a good deal at country-houses, I in quired of them what they thought was the average amount that ought to be given'by a guest to the servants of his host. This was the conclusion: If without a servant, 10s. to the maid who "valets' for any period above one night; and 6s. for the one night; for being driven to the station, 2s. 6d. to tho groom or coachman ; for ono day's shooting, 10a. to the head-keeper; for several day's shooting, 2 to the head-keeper; 10s. to the loader for one day, 5s. per diem for several days ; if with a servant, 2s. 6d. ought to be given by him to the housemaid, and nothing more to any indoor servant. In no case should anything bo bestow ed on the bland butler, who appears with an itching palm to speed the parting guest. Many, however, give more than this; they present tho but ler with a sovereign, and bestow as much as. 5 on tho gamekeeper. My friends, however, scouted these ex travagances as neither expected nor desirable.. "It a little depends," ob served ono of them, "on whether I think that I am likely to come back." And he then related the following story: The late Mr. George Payne was at the country-house of a noble man. He had been out shooting with another guest, a mau of many virtues but the one vice of being unsupnorta ble. This guest asked Mr. l'ayuo what he meant to give tho keeper. "Five pounds," replied Mr. Payne. "Surely," said the guest, "that is too much; I think that I shall not give him more than 2." "Well, to tell you the truth," opined Mr. Pnyue, "you would do better to give him nothing, for they were talking about you at the house yesterday evening and they decided never to ask you hero again." Another gentleman whom I consulted about "tips" assures mo that the above tariff is below the average. Five pounds is frequently givon to the head gamekeeper, aud he explains this by say in" that a heavy tip is often re garded as a bribe for being secured a good place at a battue. This gentle man gave a keeper tho other day 5 on starting for a battue and the keeper in thanking him said : "I am afraid that I shall not be able to give you one of the best places for they are all bespok en, but I will do what I can for you." A friend of hia once notified his keep ers on the commencement of tho shoot ing season that he would not allow them to receive tips, but would put up a box in the hall into which contribu tions for them might be dropped; they at once all resigned. As regards the butler, this frieiul says that ho does not dare to go away without t - . i . . i i i leaving a suustauiiai mar, ot ins re spect for that dignified being, and he also tips the groom of the chambers in the house where thisomcial nourishes. "Fools and their niobey soon part," was the observation that occurred to me, but which I was too civil to make when he recounted to me what it cost him to visit a country-house. A Chinese Dnckery. A Chinese duckery is an establish ment, either afloat or on shore, devot ed to rearing or feeding ducks, which, are, in most cases, salted smoked and hawked about the streets of the largo towns. I was much interested in ob serving the mode of treatment. The ducks were hatched out bv hot sand, and divided into lots of 100 to 150. These arc taken to a stream as far down as it is possible, and there a temporary fence of wicker work is erected, inclosing about twenty feet square of the st ream ami Its banks.- The ducks are placed inside this, and soon toddle out into the stream and come on shore again to sit under mat sheds on the bank, which aro required to keep the sun olf them. When they are to be fed, a clean mat is laid down on the bank, inside the fence, and in the middle of the day, under the shade mats. On this is strewed rice, boiled and mixed with sweet potatoes, etc., and made into the consistency of dry dough ; this the ducklings nibble at running to tho 8 1 ream whenever their little throats get choked, so as to get a drink and clear to commence again. ' In a 6inall way I tried to improve on the Chinese plan by giving them their food mixed softer, but it turned out a miserable failure. The ducks, when shaking their heads, splattered the food over each others' backs, where it stuck, and they did not thrive. I was much 6truck with the way in which the Chinese seemed to know exactly how much "the ducklings would consume at oue feeding, and how little waste there was. A little boy generally attended about five lots of 150 or 200 ducks, and large streams are made tq branch off into smaller ones, so that each lot could have a fresh run of clean water coming down on them. When the feeding was over, tho feeding mats were lifted and washed below the second fence, and hung up to dry for next time. When the ground where the ducks were fenced became dirty, which took place in four or live days, in spito of all precautions to keep it clean, the lower fence was shifted above the up per one, and the ducks put into it; this gave them fresh, clean grouud,aiid they seemed to thrive to perfection. As the ducks grow, two lots of 150 are put to gether,'then two lots of 300, aud so on; the extent of fencing being increased, and a boy dispensed with, the tirne between feeding is extended and labor saved. When grown, they are herded in flocks of some thousands by a man carrying a long bamboo rod, and he moves them from rice field to rice field, where they puddle among the mud and are fed for almost nothing. They always get a tit-bit when they come home to their sheds at night (which are floored with dry earth, fre quently changed aud used for manure) this makes them very anxious to get home, and they are quite as anxious to get out in the morning, knowing there is nothing to bo expected at home be fore night.
