There were, in 1880. 77(1 estab lishments here working wood. The State t'ommissioner of Agriculture states in general terms that "since that date, there has been a large increase in the number and variety of products of this kind of lac tones." The wood works id 1 S.S0 had a capital of 1. 7415.21 7. Their products in part were L'l 4,8S"0U0 feet of lumber, 13,330,0 laths, .77.XX sbnigles, 1 ,2..'i.0C) spool and bobbin stock. The total value of all the products w;us !'', 772, 7;.". Saw mills constitute the greater numlKT of these establishments, but the variety and excellence ol the North ('aiolina woods are giv ing rise to many new and profitable enterprises. Among the most valu able woods now m use are the white oak. white hickory, wln'e ash. elm, maple; beech, poplar, persimmon. Mack and white walnuts, lurch or mountain niahonany. chestnuts, locusts, holly, gum, and curled pine.

It is not expect ed that thin practical ce;-ation of the business of the Department, to far as the Scret-arv 'h crfice is concerned, for one or two days, will prove part icularly injurious to the public.

A letter from Honolulu to the Bos ton Transcript says: The houses of Honolulu arc al ways open, day and night, us the temperature is so warm that one has to sleep out of doors, as it were to get enough fresh air. They nre built mostly of wood, though many of the oldest and more substantial houses are built of coral stone, a few of lava stone, and many may yet be seen within the limits of Honolulu made of grass and occupied bv the natives. These native huts or houses are built by making a framework of bamboo poles, covered with layers of the banana trees, the trunk of which can be removed in layers. This, again, is covered with grass and trimmed on t he corners and top by weaving the grass into different patterns. One opening or door usu ally admits enough light and air for the average native, though some huts are divided off into several rooms, wiih two and sometimes three doors. A mat hung down on the inside, cov ering the opening, is the common door. Mats made of broad grass inter woven or braided, and sometimes tlags, form the carpers, and a pile of from two !o Ten. and sometimes even more, makes the bed on which t he II, It 1 er and invited guests sleep.

A professor of the college, ami a veteran member of the so ciety, he said, w sis expected toseta good example to the younger stu dents. But be had noticed, with great regiet, that the professor was uniformly late m attendance, and thus exerted a baneful influence upon others. It was painful to him to reprove an officer of the college, and he hoped a single allusion to the fault would lead to its correc tion. The professor was then re quested to take his seat.

No. 4 said that April was last the proper month. IKo. 5 wouldn't trim a tree except in May. Xo. 0 thought November the best time of year, and so it went until every month in the year had been named and there were five or six individuals to spare. Before the first tree, was finished the seventeenth Jpedestrian halted, threw away the s.ub of his cigar and loudly demanded: 'Going to trim trees, eh" The man hung his saw to a limb, got down off the ladder, and spit ting on his hands he walked close up to the inquirer and said: "Supposing I ami What are you going to do about it?" "Oh, nothing," answered the other as he dodged around a pile of brick; "I was simply going to ask if you used tar or porons plasters to cover the scars?'' The citizen got his saw and lad der and disappeared in the bouse, and the remainder of the work will be done at night. The "Straw" Taker. It was on the C, H. & D. Road a few days since, that an irritable old fellow with a big bronze mustache and a craggy brow, sat brooding over his paper. A tall, thin individual, with a duster that nearly swept the floor aud eye-glasses aboard, entered the car with small book and pencil in hand. He seemed possessed of all the confidence and self-assurance of a census taker, lie approached the ; first man and after a short consulta tion jotteil down something iu his memoranda.

"Your politics, sir?" said he. I Just then there was an uprising, 1 and the irritable man made a pass 1 at the glasses. Something went I over three seats and fell in the cor- nor where the bananas aud oranges lay side by side.

Notwithstanding the obscurity that surrounds the beginnings ol ! agriculture in different regions, it is , settled that the dates vary exceed- j ingly. One of the earliest exam-, pies of cultivated plants is draw n from Egypt, in the shape of a de- : sign representing tigs in ne of the pyramids of Gizeh. The date of ihe construction id' the monument' is uncertain; authors v.uy i:i assign ing it to from fifteen hundred to four thousand two hundred years before the Christian era. If we assign it to two thousand years be-1 fore Christ, we would have an an-' tiquity of four thousand years for1 the tig. Now, the pyramids can have been constructed only by a j numerous people, organized and ; civilized to a certain degree, whoi must consequently have had an established agriculture, going back ( several centuries, at least, lor it origin. In China, twenty-seven hundred years before Christ, the Emperor Chennung introduced a! ceremony iu which, every year, five species of useful plants Wcte -o.vn . viz.. rice. soja. whec.t. md two kinds of millet. These plants must have been cultivated fur some length of time in -ome pine, s to1 have attracted the at'ention of ihe emperor at this period. Agriculture seems, then, ro have I leen an a ucien ; in C h i ua a - in . Egypt. Tiie coa.-tnnt iiitorcoai .-e oi the latter country with Mesopo i tainiii justifies us in presuming t hat ; cultivation was almost contempora I neous iu the regions of the Euphra tes and Nile. Why may it not have been quite as ancient in Iudia and the Indian Archipelago ? The history of the Dravidian and Malaysian people does not go back very far, and is very obscure; but there is no reason for presuming that cultivation, particularly on the banks of the rivers, did not begin among them a very long time ago. From '-The Oritin of Cult irn trd J'lants," bit A. uf. C.NTor.i.F, in Popular Scii iter Monthli ' (h t her. The Wife. Raskin, whose voice is that of a prophet, recalling men and women j to those domestic ways in which pleasantness aud peace are, found, thus writes of the beautiful word "wife." It is the great word iu which the English aud Latin languages con quered the French and Greek. I hope the French will some day get a word for it instead oifemmc. But what do you think it comes from? The great value of the Sax on woi'ds is that they mean some thing. Wife means "weaver." Y'ou must either be housewifes or housemoths; remember that. In the deep sense yon must "either weave men's fortunes aud embroider them, or feed upon and bring them to de cay. Wherever a true wife comes, home is always around her. The stars may be overhead, the glow-worm in the night's cool grass may be the fire at her feet; but home is where she is, and for a noble wo man it stretches far around her, better than houses ceiled with cedar or painted with vermillion shed ding its quiet for those who else are homeless. This, I believe, is the woman's true place and power. The Art of Borrowing. Bubb Dodingtcn was one day walking down Bow street, at the time when it was well inhabited, and "resorted to by gentry for lodgings," when a borrowing ac quaintance rushed from the oppo site side of tho way, and expressed great delight at meeting him; "for," said he, "1 am wonderfully in want of a guinea.'' Dodington winced, and taking out his purse, showed that he had no more than half a guinea. ''A thousand thanks!" exclaimed the persecutor, half forcing the coin from between the owner's fingers; "that will do very well for the present," and cleverly changed the subject to a good story. When they had parted the impudent borrower turned back to Dodington, saying: "By the by, when will you pay me that half guinea?" "Pay you! What do you mean?" "Why. I intended to borrow a guinea of you, and only got half; but I'm not in a hurry for t'other. Name your own time, only pray keep it." What the Matter Was. A woman is far more sensitive than a man. She has finer feelings and a more delicate mind. There are a very tew men who realize this, and iu consequence woman is made to endure much unnecessary sulTer ing. Oue of our merchants was go ing to church with his wife on Sun day morning, when she suddenly stopped and put her hand to her head. What's the matter.'" he asked, startled by the look of her face. "Oh! I have got on mv brown hat." Eh 1" ejaculated the astonished man. She burst into tears.
