Peters New Shoes.
The following anecdote of Peter the} Great was originally narrated by a Certain blacksmith, one Peter Muller, a} grandson of the person to whom its re- | fers :—

the work, with the most minute atten—| tion and care, and who was, without ex-!| ception, the hardest worker of them all. | He was at his post every day, and peared quite imdifferent to the severity | of his labors. The last day of his eCIb ployment he forged 18 poods of iron— the pood is equal to 40 pounds—but, good workman as he wae, he had other matters to mind besides the forging of iron, for he had also the affairs of State to attend to, and all who have heard of Peter the Great, knew that these were by no means neglected.
It happened that he was spending a month in the neighborhood of Istria for the benefit of chalybeate waters,and as, wherever he charced to be, it was bis invariable custom to make himself thoroughly acquainted with whatever works were being carried ov, he deter mined notonly to inspect Muller's forge, but to make himself a good blacksmith into the bargain. He made the noble-
men who werein attendance on him accompany him to the forge every morning, and take part in the labor.
Some were appointed to biow the bel- lows, and others to carry coals,and gen- nerally to perform all the work and drudgery of journevmen blacksmiths. A few days after his return to Moscow be called on Muller, who resided there. and told him he had been to see his establishment at Istria, with which he had bad been much gratified,
“Tell me,” he said, “how much you| allow per pood for iron in bar, furnished by a master blacksmith ?”
“Three copecks, or an altin,’’ answer- ed Muller.
‘Well then.” said the Czar, “I have ~arned 18 altins, and have come to be paid.”
Muller went to his burean, and from it 18 ducats, which he down before the Emperor.
“I could not think of offering less to a royal workman, please your ma)jsty.”’
“Put up your ducats,” interrupted the Czar ; “I will not take morethan I have earned, or more than you would pay any other blacksmith. Give me my due ; it will buy me a pair of shoes, of which, you may see,” added he, as he raised his foot, and displayed a shoe some-
took cotinted
what the worse for wear, “1 am very much in need.” Muller reckoned ont the 18 atlins,|
with which the Czar hurried off to a shop, and purchased a pair of shoes. He put them on witb the greatest dceligbt. He thought he had never worn such a pair, and showed them with a triumph ant air to those about him, saying :
“See them! Look how well they fit! I have earned them weli—by the sweat of my brow, with hammer and anvil!”
Oue af these bars of iron, forged by Peter the Great, and bearing his mark, was kept asa precious relic in the forge at Istria, and exhibited with no little pride to all who entered. Another bar which was forged by the same hand, is shown in the cabinet of the Academy of ©ciences at St. Petersburg.

The Opium Habit in Boston
We appear to be living in anage of constant disclosures. Boston, the home of culture and refinement, is the latest victim. It has been discovered by the investigation that the opium habit has been raging extensively in the modern Athens, for many years past. People have suspected the cause of the bril- liancy of the average Bostonian, but only on Saturday last, has the truth come out. We are told by the press of the great city that opium dens as well as Opium palaces have been thriving formapy yeurs. To these places of resort ladies and gentlemen of the highest respectability and position have repaired. The newspapers give the addresses and number of the “joints” which exist in the city, and which by the way must not be included with the regular Chinese institutions, These

They are situated in the moet aristocratic thoroughfare, and have been flourishing unsuspected for months, under the very shadow of the State House.

HE above Stove I invented and patented in 1876,and at the present time HUN- DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A large number have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have heen required. This yaluable experience should be sufficient evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following:—It has, instead of a Lined Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with all Square Cooking Siteves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat being radia‘ed from the Cylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking S‘oves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equa! sati*taction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached the PATENT TELESCOPIC OVEN to all my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c., causing the thousands using them to exclaim— Vy Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the game kind made by other foundries. The trade and retail purchasers will please bearin mind the fact that although a great edvantage is claimed for my own Oven above ail others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other f.undry can supply. En- quire for Fawceit’s Patent Telescope Oven, and it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry.
I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Different Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parler, Office and Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tinware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by any manvfacturer in the Lower Provinces, Terms and prices will be found as favorable as can be obtained elsewhere,
