P H I L I P .

Poor friar Philip JoBt hia wife,The charra and comfort of his life ;He mourns.! her—not like modern men—For ladies were worth having then.The world was altered in bis view,All things put on a yellow hue ;Even ladies, once his chief delight,Were now offensive to hia Bight;In short, he pined and looked so ill,The doctor hoped to make a bill.

At last, he made a vow to fly,And hid Himself from every eye ;Took up his lodgings in a wood,To turn a hermit and grow good.He had a son, now you must know,About a twelvemonth old or so ;Him Philip took up in his arms,To snatch him from all female charms,Intending he should never knowThere were such things as girls below,But lead an honest hermit's life, "Lest he, likewise, might lose his wife.

The place he chose for his retreatWas once a lion's country seat;Far in a wild, romantic wood,The hermit's little cottage stood,Hid, by the trees, from human view—The son himself could scarce get through.A little garden, tilled with caie,Supplied them with their daily fare;Fresh water-creeses from the spiiag—Turnips or greens, or some such thing—Hermits don't care much what they eat,And appetite can make it sweet I

Twas here our little hermit grew—His father taught him all he knew,Adapting, like a cheerful sage,His lessons to the pupil s age.At five years old, he snowed him flowers,Taught him their various names and powers;Taught him to blow upon a reed,To say hid prayers and get the creed.

At ten, he lectured him cu herbs(Bettor than learning nouns and verbs),The names aud qualities of trees,Manners and customs of the bees;Then talked of oysters full of pearls,But not one word about the girls.At fifteen years, he turned his eyesTo view the wonders of the skies ;Called all the stars by their right names,As you would call on John or James;And showed him all the signs above,But not a whisper about love.

And now his sixteenth year was nigh,And yet he had not learned to sigh;Had sleep and appetite to spare ;

couid not tell the name of care ;And all because he did not knowThere were such ihings as girls below.But now a tempest raged around—The hermit's little nest was drowned—3tood-by, then, too, poor Philip'd crop ;'t did not leave a turnip top.?oor Philip grieved, and his eon, too—They prayed—they knew not what to do ;if they were hermits, they must live,And wolves have not much alms to give.

r, in his native town, he knowJe had disciples—rich ones, too—•Vho would not let him beg in vain,3ut set the hermit up again.3ut what to do with his young son—*ray tell me what you would have done?fake him to town he was afraid,Tor what if he should see a maid!n love, as sure as he had eyes,L'hsn any quantity of sighs !Jeave him at home.? The wolves, the bears—

Poor Philip had a father's fears I

n short, he knew not what to do,Jut thought, at last, he'd take him, too;

And ao, with truly pious care,le counts hiB beads in anxious prayer—mended as a sort of charm,Co keep his darling lad from harm;That is, from pretty ladies' wiles,Especially their eyes and smiles—Chen brushed his coat of silver gray,

And now you see them on their way.

!t was a town, they all agree,there was everything to see,

As paintings, statues, and so on—All that men love to look upon.)ur little lad, you icay suppose,lad never seen so many Bhows ;le stands, with open mouth and eyes,Ake one just fallen from the Bkies ;Pointing at everything he sees—'What's this? What's that? Oh, here, what'e

these?"At last he spies a charming thingt hat men call angel when they sing—Young lady, when they speak in prose ;Hwcet thing ! as everybody knows.

Transported, ravished at the sight,le feels a strange but sweet delight.1 What's thiB ? What's this ? Oh, heavens!" he cries,' That looks so sweetly with its eyee—Oh, shall I catch it? Is it tame ?Yhat is it, father ? What's its name?"?oor Philip knew not what to Bay,iut tried to turn his eyes away;le crossed himself and made a vow,• 'Tig as I feared, all's over now ;L'hen, prithee, have thy wits let loose ?

~t is a bird men call a goose."' A goose ! Oh, pretty, pretty thing !

And will it sing, too, will it sing?)h, come, come quickly, let us run ;That's a good father, catch me one !Ve'll take itwith us to our cell—ndeea! indeed, I'll treat it well!"

TWO IMPORTANT PAPERS.

" I don't know what I shall dew withthat ere boy," said Farmer Long to hiswife, as they sat by the fire that wintermorning. "He's more harum-skarumthan that State's reform-senool boy was."

"Well, father, have patience with himfor the sake of his folks. I think there'ssomething in Jim that will surprise yon,one of these days."

" I dunno whether he'll supprise meertny more'n he has er not. Last springhe made b'lieve he knowed all 'boutbiling down sap, 'nd supprised me bvburnin' the bottom uv the sap-pan eout,'nd settin' the sap-house on fire. Lastsummer he broke more tools in hayin'time than all the rest uv us together.And, dear me ! Yeou'd orter seen himdig pertaters last fall ! I'll venture hecut every third one in tew—struck at 'emez ef he was splittin' rock-maple logs.'Nd neow he's broke my best three-tineiipitchfork, some way, a feedin' the cattel.He's only 16 y'r old. Ef he does this inthe green tree, what in nater '11 he dewin the dry ?"

After these remarks about the boy hehad taken to keep until he was of age,the farmer started for the barn. He wasbending over the great meal-chest, justinside the barn-door, as a tandem team fwas turning around the corner of the |barn. Tbis team consisted of a wildyearling steer, and the boy, Jim Fow-ler. The " team " vas on the "dead"run. The youth had hold of the steer'stail with his left hand, and held aloft amilking-stool in his right.

Mr. Long was unaware of danger;and, when something struck him, andimmediately he found himself on hisback in the meal-chest, his first thoughtwas of an earthquake or a tornado, orother dreati outbreak of foices. Heemerged from the chest just in time tosee his lime-backed steer pass on intothe stable, and Jim Fowler arise, half-atunned, from the floor.

"Yeou young scamp !'"he thundered,"yeou'll murder somebody yit—er—fetI shall, cf yeau don't stop yer dumbedwork."

The boy did not laugh at the miller-like appearance of the man. His ownface was quite as white as the farmer'san he said:

" I'm awful sorry, Mr. Long."" I dunno whether yer be er not," re-

plied the latter ; " but I'll tell ye ceow'nd here, Jim Fowler, what's what, whenyer father died yeou haden't a relativeleft—"

"No, sir, they wan't none left," brokein the youth, and the tears filled hiseyes.

" I promised him, a little afore hedied, I'd take care on ye until yeou wasold enough ter take care uv ye'self, 'nddew well by ye—give ye a common-sohool eddication 'nd so on. 'Nd I meanter dew it ef yer conduct don't becomeonbarable, But yeou must be morestiddy 'nd manlike, 'nd not plague meter death by yer recklessness. D'yehear?..

"Yis sur'n I'm goin' ter try, Mr.Long."

"That's the sorter talk. I want yeter go ter sohool 'nd git ter be ez smartez Jennie is, ef ye can, Yeou er tew

years older'n she is, 'nd y'ain't nowhereside uv her."

" I know it. I ain't nowhere side uvher."

Jennie, the farmer's daughter, was abright girl, and as pretty as a pink.Jim did not wonder that her father andmother were proud of her, nor that theyfelt there was a vast difference betweenhim and her. He thought there washimself, and he believed she did, forone day of .the last summer, when hestumbled on to her flower-bed, shespoke sharply at him and, if he had notmisunderstood her, called him a "beg-gar."

He was careless and stupid. If shehad said as much, he would have thoughtit justifiable under the circumstances.But for her to speak in that way—as ifhis misfortune was his fault—made himalmost hate her. He did net answerback, but the look he gave her kept herfrom ever repeating that taunt, and alsofrom forgetting that she had once madeit.

Yet he continued to be the same care-less "Jim " up to this winter morning.But when Mr. Long had administeredhis reproof and returned to the house tobrush the meal from his clothes, theyouth fell into a profound meditation,out of which he came with this ejacula-tion:

" I'll do it!"When the next term of school began,

there were two (scholars from FarmerLong's.

Jennie and Jim.They went together; but separated

when they got there, for Jennie was inin a higher department than Jim couldenter. This was the first term the lat-ter had ever begun with a determinationto learn. That he was so determined isproved by the answer he gave to histeacher on the first day of school, whenslie asked him, among other things,what he wanted to do; it was this: " Iwant ter git ter know ez much ez JennieLong does."

How did he come out ? Well, he wentto school every term for three years.He studied evenings and all the timewhen not at work, during vacations.By incessant devotion to his booksthrough those three years he was ableto master all the text-books used in thatinstitution. For the last two terms ofhis course, he was a member of Jennie'sclasses. He graduated when she did;and, in most of their joint studies, wasmarked several points above her.

How did Jim think he came out ? Go-ing home with Jennie that last day, afterschool had closed, he repeated the wordsMr. Long had spoken three years be-fore : " Y'ain't nowhere side uv her;"and thought they were truer now thanever.

Had the "want ter git ter know,"with which he began, given place to a" want" less likely to be satisfied?

If Jennie had been aware that herown views concerning the result of theirrivalry—if it was such—coincided withJim's she probably would not have ex-pressed herself as she did to her moth-er, that evening, when they two werealone. " I suppose," said she, "hethinks he has done a wonderful thing ;but I don't. If I had studied and stud-ied and studied as he has. I should havebeen far ahead of the great—great—giant. But of course I den't care a figabout it, mamma."

Whether Jennie's remarks indicateda happy frame of mind or not, might bea question. But without question sheused a very happy word whenshe spoke of Jim as a giant,for he was a mighty youth,Jennie was really petite. She knew it;but it did not trouble her that thosegirls who were familiar with her calledher " Little Jennie Long."

Jim knew that he was of great staturefor his age ; and was a little sensitive onthat point. I don't think he fancied be-ing called " Big Jim," and it may havebeen his aversion to that name that ac-counted for his blushing so deeply onemorning of his last term, when he hadtaken his seat at the opening of theschool. Some mischievous boys hadwritten a stanza on the blackboard—•which was on the wall that faced theseats—and written in such a large handthat every scholar could read it fromwhere be sat. This is a copy of thelofty verse that the teacher hastened toerase, as soon as she discovered whatthe scholars were laughing at:

But one dare3 write—what everyone knows—That several little fellows fret,Because a chance they never getTo walk aud talk with Jennie Long.Who hinders them ? Big Jim —the strong.He cotteB with her, and with her goes;And thinks she wants him to, I 'spose.

When Jim's eye caught that, his faceturned very red, as red as—Jennie's.

The youth that wrote that poem"dared" to write it; but he did notdare to make himself known.

Of course it was nothing but " boy'splay," but Jim felt that he was nearenough to being a man to look at itfrom a man's stand-point. AnJ, look-ing at it in that light, he thought it prop-er to tell Jennie that night when theywent home that he was very sorry thatsome mean fellow had annoyed her insuch a way; that he would find out thepuppy who wrote the stuff and give hima sound thrashing.

But Jennie, to the surprise of Jim,cculd not see wherein she had been in-jured to an extent that demanded anysuch course as he proposed to take.And she dissuaded him from his san-guinary purpose. Not easily, however,but by arguments made in an earnestmanner, and urged more and morestrongly, until he was conquered.

Without meaning it, perhaps, Jenniesaid some things, before they reachedher father's door, that were calculatedto mislead JimaSjto the place he oc-cupied in her thoughts. It was nothingpositively encouraging; but somethingthat came nearer to being that than any-thing ehe had ever before said to him.Of course it must have been uninten-tional, for nothing in the line was re-peated during their walks to and fromschool the remainder of the term. Andwhen the term closed, as was said be-fore, Jim felt that she was farther fromhim than ever. He saw, with the clear-ness of vision that is characteristic ofyoung men in his stato of mind, tiehopelessness of any attempt to makehimself her equal in any respect, andthen acted as a youth in his circum-stances usually does. He intended toremain with Mr. Long until he was ofage, for he knew he could be of greatservice to the farmer in the two yearsthat intervened between the present andthat time. And he wished to repay thelatter for his kindness to him.

For the first few months of those twoyears he was apparently quite self-pos-sessed in his association with Jennie.But that is all that can be said to hiscredit. He broke down—utterly suc-cumbed—before six months had passed,proposed, and—told Jennie he did notblame her for not caring for him, andhoped she would forgive liim for offer-

ing such a poor creature as himself toone like her; that he could not help it;that he felt he must know what he wasto her, and now he did know.

Jim had discovered Jennie the even-ing when he asked that question, sittingon the bench under the great mapleback of the house. There she left him,and went into the house; and there for along time he remained after she hadgone, sitting in her place, with a sensa-tion at his heart unlike anything he hadever before experienced. Not contentedto let "well enough" alone, he hadgore from the negative comfort of con-jecture into the positive pain of cer-tainty.

The next morning he entered uponhis labors, with less encouragement thanJacob did upon his, after Laban's sec-ond promise. LCBS by as much as a re-fusal is less than a promise.

And Jennie ? If her night's rest hadbeen less sweet and refreshing thanusual, she showed no signs of it. Sheappeared to be merrier than she hadbeen for some time. Early in the day,when she and her mother were engagedin the labors of the household, she sur-prised the latter very much by a "sea-son " of laughing—a season of very vio-lent laughing.

"Jennie!" exclaimed Mrs. Long, atlast, dropping into a chair, " What doesail you ?

" Why, mamma, it's the funniest thing—I've been proposed to."

' Proposed to ? By whom ?"'By Jim."' By our Jim, Jennie ?"' Our Jim, mamma?"1 The fooliah boy! Of course you

told him, kindly, that you were both tooyoung to think of marriage. Yourfather was 26 and I was 22 when we weremarried. What did you tell him, Jen-nie?"

" I told him—no!"" That was right; only I hope you did

not hurt his feelings any more than wasnecessary. I trust he wiil forget allabout it soon—"

" What, mamma ?"" I mean, Jennie, that I hope he will

see how foolish he has been, r.nd forgetall about you before he goes away."

" Oh, certainly—I hope he will—willforget-»-and-"-Bee how it is before then.He a poor, you know—very poor. I—Itold him so. I wanted to—help—himfor—forget, as you say, and so I said incase I married, in the course of twentyor twenty-five years, I should probablywed a vary rich man; and then I sJiouldn'tbe any trouble to my—hus—husband;but that I shouldn't do for a poor manat all."

"Well, Jennie, I do sincerely wishthat he may soon care as little for you asyou do for him."

As the months passed away, Mrs.Long, watching Jim, concluded that hehad not suffered much by the rejectionhe Lad received. The kind-heartedwoman was glad to think it was so. Con-sidering all things, the less attractionher daughter had for the young fellowthe better.

Jennie also, hoping as we may sup-pose that Jim, for the sake of his peaceof mind, would outgrosv his affection forher, after a little while, decided that hehad. She was very glad of it. And yetthere was a tinge of melancholy in thediscovery. She was glad for his sake,because he had suffered so; but it was—abstractly considered—a very solemnthought that so strong an attachmentwas so shoit-lived. Not that she wouldhave had it last longer in this particularcase—O, no; but there might come atime when she should want to know thatthe one who had so great a regard for herwas to have it forever. But what wasshe to expect ? Was Jim a fair sampleof mankind in this respect ?

If Farmer Long had been an observ-ing man, during these days he wouldhave seen coming into Jim's face some-thing that cculd not have failed to re-mind him of the time when the youth'smother and Mrs. Long were girls, andthe best-looking ones in the village.The father's strength had come into Jim'sbody and limbs, but he was getting hismother's face, by installments. Thesewere to be his possessions when he wasof age.

As his 21st year drew toward its close,he could not tell whether to be glad orsorry for it. His reason told him to go,and forget—he had not forgotten, yousee —in the excitement of business some-where, his disappointment. But thatheart of his kept forever answering"Stay another year." He was in thisstate of mind the day before he was V\.After dinner that day he went and sat onthe bench under the great maple. Hewent there that he might be alone to de-cide whether he would follow the dictatesof his reason or give way to the longingsof his heart. Reason at last carried theday. He arose from his seat, and saidaloud, and decisively, " I shall go." Itwas settled. He had told the family all•?long that he should go away when hebecame of age. He was glad they knewit and had become reconciled to (perhapswished) it. He was set upon lookingstraight ahead now, and determined notto look back. ,

And he did look straight ahead—Look ? he stared, for just a second ortwo, and then went ahead, straight andfast. Up the slightly-ascending meadowJennie was running toward the house;and, not far behind her, was the 4-year-old lime-back, pursuing. It was fortun-ate for Jennie Long then that Jim wasnear; and that he was " big " and strongand brave. Jim was bent on getting be-tween Jennie and that mad brute, andhe could not stop to find weapons. Herushed past her, and at that moment herstrength gave way, and she fell. If Jimhad made a mismove—but he did not.With great dexterity he seized the ani-mal by the horns as it came up, and,putting forth all his strength, drew itshead with such force and suddenness toone side as to throw it down. Then,springing to where Jennie had ariseri,and stood unable to move from fright,he caught her in his arms and bore herto a place of safety over the wall.

When Jennie could speak, she turnedto Jim and asked, "What if you hadbeen killed ?"

" Oh, there would have been a beggarless, that's all," said he, and walkedaway.

An hour later Jim, in a deep reverie,was sitting under the old maple. Heheard the rustling of a dress, the soundof approaching feet, and then Jennie'sgentle call, "Jim?"

He arose and looked at her."Jim, do you—hate me?""No, worse than that—4'or me.""W^rse? Then you — don't—feel

toward me as—as, you did once?""No, for I love you more.""Truly, Jim?""Truly.""Well, then you may read what I

have written on this paper; but don'topen it till I get a long way off."

Sha handed him the paper and turnedand walked in the direction of. the

house. Jim was not long in openingthat note and reading:

DEAR JIM :Den't go away. JENNIE.

Nor did tho writer of it get a "longway" off before ho overtook her.

When Jim and Jenni9 entered theholtse together, a little later, FarmerLong looked at them sharply for a mo-ment, and then( as if what he sawwarranted him, he arose and also handedJim a paper, saying as he did so:

" I sh'd like ter have yeou look thisere dockerment over'n see ef it is ker-rect. I don't want no mistake 'bout it.The place that jines mine was fur sale 'nI've bot it. This ere's the deed on't."

And so it was. And lhat "docker-ment" was made to run to James Fowlerand his he'rs.

Giro Them the Glory of It.It is nearly twenty years since Father

Newell, as he was called, happened tobe in Charleston, S. C., during the pas-toral vacation, and was invited to preachin the old Circular Church, then as ven-erable as St. Michael's. The committeehad heard of him and his eccentricities,in which ho rivaled Lorenzo Dow, andresolved to give him a hint on the Sab-bath. They did so, saying that he mustnot forget tnnt he was in the great cityof Charleston and was to preach in avery fine church to a very refined au-dience.

There was an ominous smile us he saidhe would remember.

Service commenced, and hymn andprayer were not much out of the com-mon, save with more power in them,and the Committee on Pulpit Supply be-gan to breathe freely, and to use theirfans and handkerchiefs.

It was time to preach and old Newellgot up. He looked all around, and upat the gallery, crowded with quadroonand mulatto nurses and servants of thequality, and then he began.

" I am told I must be careful what Isay to day, for this is a refined churchand a refined city, and I am to preach toa refined audience. I have been lookingaround for the refinement, and I see it.You refine any thing when yon take it inits coarse state, like black molasses oryellow sugar, and make it white andfine. You briilg a ship-ldad of negroesto this city of Charleston, and every faceis so black it would cast a shadow on thechimney back, and the hair is as kinkyas a theological student's ideas. Youkeep them in Charleston a hundredyears, and, to save my soul, I can't tell,half the time, the negro from the whiteman, nor the quadroon nurse fromthe child's mother, nor the yellow girlfrom the white, only she ain't so bilious.Yes, I own up to you. You are a pow-erful refined people, and I give youglory for doing it all, for the Lord hadno hand in it. It is your refinement,for the Almighty never made a mulattoor a mule."

Then he preached to as humble a con-gregation as he ever had in the flatwoodsof Blbert. But he was not asked again.—Hartford Post.

The First Artificial Precious Stones.The first precious stone reproduced,

not only in its appearance but its realnature, and in all its component parts,is the lapsis-lazuli, the sapphire of theancients, not to be confounded with thesapphire of our modern jewelers. Thisuntransparent stone, of a ihagnificeiltazure-blue color, was most highly prizedby the ancient Hindoos, Assyrians, Per-sians, Jews, Egyptians, Greeks, etc.;and this irrefragably refutes the errone-ous theory of some arct seologists thatthe ancients were unable to distinguishthe blue color. When pulverized, thisstone furnishes the surpassingly beauti-ful ultramarine color with which theartists of the middle ages delighted topaint the mantle or gown of the VirginMary, although they had to pay themost extravagint prices for the pigment,which they always charged in the billsof those who had ordered a sacred pict-ure from them. Some fifty or sixtyyears ago, Gmelin, the German chemist,discovered that this most beautiful ofblue colors could be artificially producedby heating argillaceous earth with soda,sulphur and carbon; and, now tnatGuimet, the French chemist, has practi-cally introduced this process, Europemanufactures annually about 100,000,-000 pounds of this pigment, most ofwhich is produced in Germany.—Popu-lar Science Monthly for September.

The Children of Israel.According to the latest statistics that

have been gathered there are, in roundnumbers, 8,000,000 of Jews in theworld, who are thus divided: UnitedStates, 73,265; Great Britain and Ire-land, 42,000; Italy, 25,000; France,49,439; German empire, 512,158; Nether-lands (Holland), 68,003; Austria, 1,600,-000; Russia in Europe, 2,612,179; Tur-key, 150,000; Boumania, 247,424; Mo-rocco, 340,000; Denmark, Belgium,Sweden, Switzerland, Canada have com-paratively few Jews—they number therofrom 1,500 to 7,000—while Asia has2,138,000. Most persons will be sur-prised at the statement that there areless than 73,000 Jews in the country,which is generally supposed to contain agreat many more. Some reports makethe number as high as 150,000; but thisis probably an exaggeration. The sta-tistics given here are said to be as trust-worthy as can be had at present, thoughno published figures can be wholly de-pended on, as the Jews are scattered allover the globe, and in many placeswhere such a thing as a census has neverbeen taken. The Jewish population ofthe world is loosely reckoned at from3,500,000 to 15,000,000—a very broadmargin surely—but there is reason tobelieve that 8,000,000 is pretty near thetruth. The two countries where Jewsare scarcest are Spain and Scotland.

What Is Done With Buttermilk.A young laiy from the city, boarding

for the summer at a farm-house on theborders of Delaware county, visited ttedairy attached, and watched the countrymaid in her toil with marked attention.

" Your task is a laborious one?" sheremarked to the maid.

"Somewhat, ma'am," was the reply." Nature is indeed wonderful in her

workings," continued the .lady. "Ob-serve the green grass in the fields, andin a short time it is converted into milk,and from milk to butter."

"Yes, ma'am.""Honey is a strange anomaly, also.

Observe the little bee wandering fromflower to flower, extracting the sweetnesstherefrom, and depositing it in the glob-ular form into the comb."

"Yes, ma'am."" Is there sufficient nutriment in it to

be of any practical use ?""Yes, )na;am.""If I am not exhausting your pa-

All day long.It hath the brook's wild gayety,The soi rowf ul cry of the sea.

Oh, hush and hear,Sweet, sweet and clear,Above tLe locust whirrAnd hum of bee,

Rises that soft, pathetic harmony.

In the meadow grassThe innocent white daisies blow;

T i e dandelion doth passVaguely to and fro—

The unquiet spirit of a flowerThat hath too brief an hour.

Now doth a little cloud, all whiteIn golden light,

Drift down the warm blue sky ;And now on the horizon line,Where dusky woodlands lie,A Bunny mist doth shine,

Like to a TCII before a holy shrine,Concealing.Half revealing,Things divine.

Sweet, sweet, sweetIs the wind's song,

Man in tlie Image of God.

Now let us look into the nature andcharacter of man and see if we find inhim n likeness or resemblance to thesethings that We say belong to the Divine.

Let us begin with the fact of person-ality; that strange something by whichit is given each one to feel that he has aconscious selfhood or identity; that heis not and can not be another; that he ishimself, and as such, though related toother things, is yet so differential thathe is not these other things. In this,in our measure, we are like the Divine,and like Him, in our finite degree, weclothe ourselves about with our littleworld. Take as another fact our ca-pacity for knowledge. True it is limit-ed; we know only in part, and yet weknow certainly; our consciousness is nota lie. Our being is a fact, and of thiswe are certain. Our minds are made fortruth, and we actually and certainly per-ceive and know truth—not exhaustively,but still truth as far as we can go. Andin this we are like the Divine. Truth tous is truth to God. A mathematicalaxiom is, I suppose, the same to Godthat it is to us. The same thing will ap-pear when we study the moral qualities.There is in man not only the capacityfor knowledge, and the certainty oftruth, but there is the sense of obliga-tion to truth, a feeling that he should betruthful, and in this he is like hisMaker, who, from His own nature iseternally obligated and bound to truthas a principle. And this principle inman is in his measure the same—thesame in kind, differing only in degree-that it is in God. Take the sentimentand the principle of justice in man. Thefeeling that t"ie rights of others should besacredly respected, that no one shouldbe wronged or defrauded, that we owejustice to each human being, and thatwe do wrong when we withhold that jus-tice; this in us is the same in our meas-ure ae that broader, deeper, and highersentiment that dwells in the Divine na-ture.

Or let us study the Divine love; thatwhich seems most central and prominentin God. We know the presence of thissentiment in our own hearts from ourexperiences of the love of country andplace, and friends and family, and home.We know it as a sense of delight, of sat-isfaction, an a feeling of drawing, ofyearning, of out-pouring of self forothers, or for some principle that wecherish as sacred. This principle oflove finds its fullness in God; it finds itsexpression in the forms and worlds withwhich He has clothed His wisdom andpower, and in the beings, human andangelic, that He has called into consciousexistence, and made capable of com-munion with Himself. It finds its full-est illustration in Jesus Christ, who is

J the express image of God, who is Godto f s, God manifested in human form.Jesus Christ is the expression of God'slove to a world in darkness and sin, com-ing to seek and to save that which waslost. And in this sentiment do we findthe image of God in man, reflected inthe suffering love of mothers for theirchildren, in the love of home, in the loveof country, in the sacrifices that aremade for principles, in the hardshipstnat are gladly endured to relieve thesufferings of others. Oh ! what sublimeexamples have shown out all alongthrough the darkness of this world's his-tory; examples of patriots, of philan-thropists, of martyrs for the truth, andof those who, like the beautiful MattieStephenson, who laid down her own fairyoung life in ministering to the safferersfrom the fever in Memphis a few jearsago, and the many priests and nuns,Protestants and Jews, harlots and pub-licans, who, touched by the deep love ofhumanity and God, count nottheir lives dear—aye, forget dan-ger and death as they ministernow to the sufferers in that and the otherstricken cities of the South. Soenes,these, that illumine the ordinary seem-ing selfishness of life with a light thatcannot grow dim; scenes over which theangels and the Christ of Calvary rejoice;scenes that make us akin to God Him-self. Then there is running through allthis a feeling of spirituality, a feelingthat somehow there is in man more anddeeper than he knows fountains that areyet unsealed, longings that are yet un-realized, possibilities not yet attained.There is something in beauty that liehas not yet seen, something in song thathe has not yet heard, something in lovethat he has not yet felt, something inrest that he has not yet known. Hopebears him up in trial and loss and sor-row; and immortality, like the dawningof a sweet day beyond the night and thestorm, cheers his soul as he presses onto the golden gates. Oh, brothers, weare descended from God; we are immor-tal, and we shall be satisfied when weawake in His image.

We cannot close these reflections with-out thinking of the darkness, the deform-ity, the obscurations of sin. How haveappe.tite, and passion, and falsehood, andhatred, and all evil marred the beautyof God's image in man, and shut out orclouded the glory of His image. But,even in all this, He loves His childrenstill, and by all the patience, and long-ing, and tears, and sufferings of love,seeks to lift us up, to wash away ourstains, to find us in our wanderings, tosave us from our sins, and to welcome ushome at last.—Sermon by Rev. H. W.Thomas, of Chicago.

The Church Spires.

Seeing, in a certain town, the churchspires mounting almost to the clouds,Gotthold began to wonder that om fore»

fathers had expended so much industryand wealth upon an object which seemsto minister to nothirg but superfluouspomp and outward show. After somereflection, however, he remarked thattheir intentions were no doubt good,and their object praiseworthy. Doesnot such a tall and stately spire seemlike a giant finger pointing upward !There can be no doubt our worthy an-cestors meant that every church shoulddirect our eyes to heaven, and therebyadmonish us that the doctrine preachedin the sanctuary below is the only wayto the mansions above. As often, then,as we see such a spire, let us recollectthat here we have no continuing city,but must seek one to come.—Ootthold'sEmblems.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around tho Farm,

A FAIL of milk standing ten minuteswhere it is exposed to the scent of astrong-smelling stable, or any other of-fensive odor, will imbibe a taint thatwill never leave it.

THE manure, if all saved, from a tonof hay, and economically returned to theland, will grow more than a ton nextyear. If this were not so, our agricult-ure would be a humbug, and the worldwould starve.

EMiWANQBE & BABBY, ne*r Bochester,report fifty-one and a half bushels ofwheat to the acre from a field of eightacres; also, forty-six bushels per acrefrom another field. The land had beena nvnsery. Who beats it?

No LONGER do the New York papersquote "State butter" as superior toWestern. The Agriculturist (NewYork) says: "Good Western butterbrings as good prices as any other in themarket."

MILK, after it has been yielded by th3animal, may suffer contamination. Acase is recorded where, in the process ofmilking, which was performed by a per-son recovering from scarlet fever, theinfection of scarlet fever was conveyedby the milk to children who drank it.

MB. HOBSFALL, the celebrated En-glish dairy authority, feeds his herds asfollows : Each cow receives nine poundsof hay, six pounds of rape-cake, one |pound each of malt combings and bran, iwith twenty-eight pounds of roots orcabbage. The food (except roots and |hay) is given in a mixed, cooked stateand while warm. In addition to thisfood, a cow in full milk receives twopounds of bean meal daily, and cows notin full milking order smaller quantitiesof this article.

ALL meat producing animals shouldbe killed when they are in the cooleststate, or when respiration is the leastactive. Their flesh will then keep muchlonger fresh, and be more beautiful,sweet and healthful. When killed in aheated condition, or immediately aftera hard drive, the flesh will take longerto cool through and spoil sooner, whilethe flesh and fat wiil have a dark, fever-ish look, caused by being full of blood,and hence will not be so inviting in ap-pearance or so healthy as food.

DIRECTIONS FOR BUTTER-MAKING.—You want good, sweet cream to maKegood butter; skim the milk before itgets too sour ; never allow it to whey;keep cream in a cool place until youhave enough to churn; let it not be toolong ; churn fast until the cream breaks,then slowly until done. In washinghave the last water clear. To ten oreleven pounds I put a heaping saucer ofsalt; barely work the salt in; sot itaway until next morning; finish work-ing and pack it. Be careful not to workit too much. I don't quite believe inthe air-tight cans fcr milk.—Letter toSt. Paul Pionter-Press.

SPARE THE CALVES.—In many dairydistricts calves are killed when only afew hours old, in order to save the milkthey would require if raised. Exceptthe small amount received for the skin,this brings nothing to the ownei.Calves wiil grow almost as well uponhay-tea, with a little skimmed milk, asupon fresh new milk. Fifty years agoSir James Stewart Denham, of Scotland,experimented in raising calves with hay-toa. Tnese calves were taken from theirmothers when only 3 days old and fedwith the following liquid: Two poundsof hay were steeped in twenty quarts of•wtvter, and then boiled down one-half,and to this was added a quart of skimmedmilk. In some instances molasses wasadded also, to give sweetness. And thecalves not only thrived upon this diet,but preferred it to fresh milk.—Inde-pendent.

CHEAP POULTRY YARD.—Set postsfirmly in the ground, 6 feet high, 8 feetapart. Take No. 9 wire and stretchfrom post to post outside, fastening withstaples made of wire driven into posts.Place three wires 1 inch apart, 1 footfrom the ground; another three at 3 feet10 inches from the ground, another threeat top of posts. Take csmmon lathsand weave in, leaving 3 inches space be-tween sides of each. This makes thefence 4 feet high. Then take other laths,picket one end, and chamfer the otherlike a chisel blade, and interweaveamong the top wires; then shove thechamfered edge down beside the top ofthe bottom lath, lapping under wires 2inches. This makes a cheap, durable,pretty fence that is 7 feet and 10 inoheshigh, and fowl-tight. Wires should beleft somewhat slack, as interweaving thelaths will take it up.— J. W. Lang, inPoultry World.

About the House.

A SIDK DISH.—Boil some eggs untilhard; remove the shells; cut in half; takeout the yelks and beat up with a littlechopped parsley seasoned with pepperand salt; refill the whites and serve withdrawn butter.

FROSTING FOB PIES, PUDDINGS ANDCAKE.—White of one egg, beaten to afoam—others add sugar to make a thickpaste—addiug, if you like, a few dropsof lemon extract. Spread on the pieswhile warm. Set away in a cool place.

BUTTERNUT PIE.—One egg, half pintsweet milk, two heaping table-spoonfulsof sugar, one cup of meats of butter-nuts, or sweet almonds, pulverised fine;add to them one teaspoonful of cornstarch, nutmeg to taste. Bake with onocrust.

CAULIFLOWER.—Put to soak in saltedwater for an hour or more; look overcarefully, remove the hard stalk audleaves; scald for five minutes; cut intopieces and put into a pie dish; add alittle milk, and ssason with pepper, saltand butter. Cover the whole with drygrated cheese and bake.

BLACKBEKRY PUDDING.—One pint ofsweet milk, two well-beaten eggs, a littlesalt, one-fourth table-spoonful of sodadissolved in hot water, one-half tea-spoonful cream tartar sifted in the" flour,enough sifted flour to make a stiff bat-ter, oiw-hali r*nt oi bkefcberriefl well

dredged with flour. BoiJ one hour in abuttered mold or floured bag.

HOE CAKES.—Take a piece off yourlight-bread dough early in the morning,and make into a thin batter with creamor new milk. Let it stand to rise tilljust before your breakfast hour. Pourthe batter then in spoonfuls on a hoe,and bake quickly. Have ready a bowlof melted butter to dip the cakes in, andserve quite hot.

EECOOKING BOILED FISH.—Take twopounds of cold fish and cut into quitesmall pieces; scald a pint of sweet milk;mix in one-fourth pound of butter; atable-spoonful of corn-starch; pepperand salt to taste and the beaten yelks ofthree eggs; butter a dish, put in, first alayer of fish, then one of paste; thus al-ternate, leaving the paste on top; bakethree-quarters of an hour in a moderateoven.

CORN BREAD.—Two heaping cups ofcorn-meal, one cup of flour, three eggs,two and a half cups of sweet milk, onetable-spoonful of lard, two table-spoon-fuls of white sugar, two teaspoonfuls ofcream tartar, one teaspoonful of soda,one teaspoonful of salt; beat the eggsthoroughly, yelks and whites separately;melt tho lard ; sift soda and cream tartarinto the flour and meal while dry, andstir in last; then beat all very thorough-ly ; bake quickly in a buttered mold ;less than one-half hour will usuallysuffice.

NEW KETTLES.To remove the iron taste from new

kettles, boil a handful of hay in them,and repeat the process if necessary.Hay-water is a great sweetener of tin,wooden and ironware. In Irish dairieseverything used for milk is scalded withhay-water.

BONES.

English women are much more carefulabout bones than Americans. They notonly scrape the bone once but twice, re-seiving the fragments produced by thesecond scraping for making omelets sa-vory, and then cracking the bone andboiling it in the soup-kettle.

CLOTHES-LINES.

A new clothes-line is the terror alikeof the husband who puts it out andtakes it in, and the wife who uses it, butby boiling it for an hoar or two it canbe made perfectly soft and pliable. Itshould be hung in a warm room to dry,and not allowed to "kink."

GLASS JARS.In canning fruit, either put glass jars

into a pan of cold -water, and bring thewater to scalding heat with the jaw in it,emptying each as it is wanted, or wrapa dish towel wrung out of cold wateraround the jars while filling, and youneed not fear breaking them by puttingboiling fiuit in them.

COFFEE STARCH.The mildest-mannered man wiil scold

when he finds a patch of white starch ona yellow linen duster, but his wife mayeasily prevent the occurrence of such anaccident by mixing the starch withstrong coffee instead of water. Weakcoffee makes good starch for Smyrnalace and for thin neckties.

TABLE ECONOMY.• The question of good and cheap cook-

ing is an important one, and the house-Tife who can by a little study and fore-thought indiretly raise her husband'wages from $1 to $3 per week shouldcertainly take some interest in the studyof what kind of food, made palatable byseasoning, gives the most return inblood, bone and sinew for the least ex-penditure in money.

EDUCATION FOB THE KITCHEN.Prof. Youmans, in an article in the

Popular Science Monthly for Septem-ber, writes as follows:

" Cooking-schools are springing up inmany places in this country and in En-gland, and the English are taking thelead in organizing them as a part of theirnational and common school system.

'' Of the importance, the imperativenecessity, of this movement there cannotbe the slightest question. Our kitchens,as is perfectly notorious, are the fortifiedintrenchments of ignorance, prejudice,irrational habits, rule-of-thumb andmental vacuity, and the consequence isthat the Americans are liable to the re-proach of suffering beyond any otherpeople from wasteful, unpalatable, un-healthful and monotonous cookery.Considering our resources, and thevaunted education and intelligenceof American women, this reproachis just. Our kitchens are, infact, almost abandoned to the control oflow Irish, stupid negroes, and raw serv-ile menials that pour in upon ug fromvarious foreign countries. And, what isworse, there is a general acquiescencein this siate of things, as if it were some-thing fated, and relief from it hopelessand impossible. We profess to believein the potency of education, and are ap-plying it to all other arts and industriesexcepting only that fundamental art ofthe preparation and use of food to sus-tain life, which involves more of econo-my, enjoyment, health, spirits, and thepower of effective labor than aiiy othersubject that is formally studied in theschools. We abound in female semina-ries and female colleges, aad highschools, and normal schools, supportedby burdensome taxes, in which every-thing under heaven is studied exceptthat practical art which is a daily andvital necessity in all the households ofthe land."

Around the North and Sjutli Poles.The question whether it is possible

that there can be at all times or at anytime anything in the form of an openpolar sea seems to be virtually settled,and in the most unsatisfactory mannerimaginable. From the observations ofCount Wikzek, in 1871, and Weyprechtand Payer, in the following year, andfrom those of Dr. Hayes, in 1861, andCapt. Nares, in 1875 '6, it is evidentthat the polar basiu is neither open seanor continuous ice, but a fatal compro-mise between the two; and there seemsnow to be only two plans—one nearly ashopeless as the other1—to choose be-tween in any future attempt to reach theNorth pole—either to establish perma-nent stations, as proposed by Lieut.Weyprecht, and already initiated at onepoint by Capt. Tyson and Capt. How-gate, and to seize the opportunity ofrunning north in the early autumn fromthe station where the sea appears mostopen, or to run as far north as possible,at enormous expense, with a great forceof men and abundance of provisions andkerosene oil, and push northward duringthe Arctic winter by a chain of com-municating stations, with ice-built ref-uge huts. But little progress has beenmade during the past quarter of a cent-ury in the actual investigation of theconditions of the Antarctic regions.From in/ormation derived from allsources up to the present, it may begathered that the unpenetrated area of4,700,000 square miles surrounding theSouth pole is by no means a continuouscontinent, but consists much more prob-ably partly of a series of continentalislands, bridged between and combinedand covered to a depth of abaut 1,400feet by a continuous ice cap.

THE Brown3ville (Tex.) Democrat,ys: "Recently a policeman, while

trjiug to arrest a Mexican, shot himthroned the body twice, one ball passingthrough his chest, and, the man still re-sisting, he struck him a blow on thehead which would have killed any or-dinary man.

SETH C. EXOLE, formerly of Salinein this county, has been nominated forProsecuting Attorney by the Republi-cans ot Wayne County.

THE Republicans of Massachusettshave nominated the Hon. Thomas Tal-bot for Governor and John D. Long,his principal competitor in the conven-tion, for Lieut.-Governor.

WE DON'T know who said this, but hesaid it well : " Butler can't be made aDamocrat by Democratic votes, anymore than nni vomica can be madeFrench brandy by labbling it 'cognac'."

THIS is how the Ypsilanti Sentinelputs it: " The Republicans expect toreceive a great number of Democraticvotes. The Democrat who votes theRepublican ticket is as insane as theone who joins the Irredeemables."

ANDREW JACKSOX SMITH is the Re-publican candidate for Judge in theSecond Judicial Circuit (Berrien andCass counties). Smith's brilliant recordas Attorney-General is probably whatcommended him to the nominatingconvention.

THE Democratic Convention for theThird Representative District is to beheld at Thomas' Hall, in Chelsea, onTuesday next, Sept. 24, at 11 o'clock a.m. We hope that tho convention willpat forward the best and strongest manin the district.

THE Connecticut Democratic StateConvention was hold on Tuesday, andGov.Hubbard and the other State officersrenoruinated. The" platform declares" that the Constitution of the UnitedStates recognizes gold and silver as thestandard money of the Union."

How the N. Y. San puts it : " TheRepublican newspapers call attentionto the fact that the famous Maine quar-ries are in Eugene Hale's district, andthat the workmen combined againsthim and set up a stone-mason as theircandidate and elected their man. Halemay therefore be regarded as stonedead."

J. H. SLATER, Democrat, has beeneleoted United States Senator from Or-egon, and after the 4th day of Marchnext Hippie Mitchell will find his occu-pation gone. An interviewer says thatSlater " is not in sympathy with infla-tion, advocates the substitution of legaltender for national bank notes, opposesfiat money, and demands that currencyshall be on a coin basis."

EVERY Democrat in this city shouldattend the ward caucuses called for nextWednesday evening. Don't stay athome and then complain that this, that,or the other imaginary " ring" has cap-tured the delegations. The nominationof competent and fit men can only besecured by sending competent and fitdelegates to the nominating conven-tions.

A DAY or two ago it was remarked inour hearing that the Republicans hadgone back on Ben Butler because hewas only a petty thief, — a few spoonsfrom those New Orleans rebels beingthe extent of_ his plunder. But only alittle later a second gentleman, respond-ing to a repetition of the "joak," de-clared that Butler had now atoned forhis short-comings by stealing the Mas-sachusetts Democratic State Convention,

THAT order directing the exchangeof the new silver dollar for currencyhas been rescinded already, and thepayment of silver dollars by the Gov-ernment on currency obligations hasbeen determined upon instead. This istho adoption of an ARGUS suggestion,and so far gratifying. And now canthe Government send them so far fromthe ports of entry as to prevent theirimmediate absorption by importers forthe payment of custom duties ? Thatis the question.

THE ARGUS stands on the moneyquestion just where it stood in tho cam-paigns of 'G2, '64, 'G6, 68, '70, '12, '74,and '76, or in any other campaign whenthe money question was at issue. Itthen stood with the Democratic partyand against the claim on the part of aRepublicau Congress to the right tomake paper promises, mere notes ofhand, notes without any intrinsic value,a legal tender. If there are Democratsuow who disagree with the ARGUS, oreven put forth a claim that the ARGUSdoes not represent the party on thefinancial issues, it is because they havehave changed. Principles are the sameyesterday, to-day, and forever, and westand upon principle.

"A GOOD ticket to run away from :"that is what the New York Sun stylesa presidential ticket to be composed ofHendricks and Hampton or any otherleading "conscientious Confederate." Itreasons in this wise: "Men who hon-estly and conscientiously once fought todestroy the Uniou may just as honestlyand conscientiously fight again to de-stroy the same Union. We cherish nonebut fraternal feelings toward our South-ern brethren; but when it comes tomaking Presidents and Vice-Presidentswe piefer making them out of stuffwhich was never honestly in rebollionagainst the Union." Would n't thesame reasoning shut the same "consci-entious Confederates" out of either theSenate or House?

THE result of the Maine election hasciused Senator Bayard, of Delaware, towrite these pregnant words to a friend :The struggle is in reality for the life of

property in all its forms of credit; andif a promise can. be paid absolutelyand finally by a promise, there willnever be performance, and so ends thefabric of credit in all its forms and inall its results of accumulation." It willbe well for the farmer or mechanic orlaborer who has loaned his surplusearnings on note or bond or mortgage,or deposited them in saving!) banks, toponder these words. The credit of the•ndividual will fall with the credit ofthe Government, and a Governmentwhose promises are worth nothing or areredeemed in other promises will havecitizens equally lax in meeting theitengagements.

BUTLER always was a gieatstrategist, and already is his campaignfor President arranged and announcedHe is to be elected Governor of Massa-chusetts, be nominated for Presidentbend his energies to carry a few Statesprevent in that way an election by amajority vote of the electoral collegesthrow the election into the House, andcompel the House to select him as thecompromise candidate.

The Ann Arbor AROUS shot off its fluanciagun ut the Lansing Journal lust week, and hisold blunderbuss kicked no hard that the Ami i>man lay sprawling ou his back helpless. Hetried to prove that the Supreme Court hutdeclared the greenbacks unconstitutional, anchis old gun hud to kick.—Adrian 1'ress.

Copy the ARGUS article Mr. Pressand give your readers a chance to braudyou a first-class falsifier. The AuGUSknows very well that after sevore laborpains a packed Supreme Court broughtforth a decision holding the greenbacksor legal tenders constitutional, ami didnot attempt to question that tact in thearticle referred to. Our neighbor of thePress is as blind as the average infla-tionist if he did not so see it. Whatthe AliGUS aimed to show, and did showconclusively, was that the court diil n'thold the greenback in any sense the"money of the Constitution" but onlytemporary substitute for or representa-tive of it: to be redeemed in constitu-tional money. Money never requires redemption.

A BEN BUTLER mob took possessionof Mechanics, Hall, Worcester, Massa-chusetts, at 5 o'clock A. M., on Tuesdayat which place the Democratic StateConvention was called to be held aleleven o'clock A. M., and the Mayoradvising the State Committee that hewas unable to clear the hall " withoutbloodshed," the committee adopteda resolution postponing the conventionto Wednesday next, September 25, andchanging the place to Faneuil Hall,Boston. Nevertheless the mob heldconvention, constructed a platform, aucnominated Butler for Governor, with afull ticket. Action like this, if ratifiedby any large portion of the Democracy,will be a voluntary declaration ofbankruptcy, while the election of But-ler will be a disgrace to the State thatcannot be wiped out by years of repentance in sackcloth and ashes. Yetsuch is more than likely to be the re-sult, as the ruling wing of tho domin-ant Republican party in the old BayState is just now in bad odor and una-ble to unite that party and commandits full vote in the coming campaign.

NEITHER the trade dollar nor the"dollar of the daddies"—thanks,to thecheap money majority in Congress—hassilver enough in it to make it worth adollar in the the commercial marts ofthe world, yet the coin of the least in-trinsic value will pass at the custom-house, the postoffice, the bank, the rail-railroad ticket office, and the counter ofthe merchant for its face value (100cents) while the other, a seven-aud-ahalf grain heavier coin, will go for only88 or 90 cents, And this fact is madethe basis of the oft-repeated assertionthat it is the stamp of the mint andnot the metal which gives the coinvalue. It is not the stamp at all, butthe arbitrary and unreasonable law ofCongress, which compels the citizen toreceive a coin for a dollar which is inno sense worth that amount. Nexttime you go to Detroit step over intoCanada, where the laws of Congressare not supreme, and offer trade dollarsand the "dollars of the daddies" for ahorse or a passage ticket to London orLiverpool, and you will very soon learnwhich coin has the largest intrinsicvalue, and how impotent an act of Con-gress is to create values. The crime isin Congress issuing debased coin, stamp-ing metal above its value and compell-ing American citizens to take it at suchfictitious value, and not in those whorefuse a coin not worth a dollar, andnot made a legal tender, for more thanits real value. The trade dollar wasoriginally coined for circulation inChina, and was never a legal tender.But having made a legal tender silverdollar the first duty of Congress is tostop coining the trade dollar and makethose already coined a legal tender, orbetter to call them all in, together withthe new "dollar of the daddies" and

a new dollar that will be of fullface value. That aud nothing else willprotect the people.

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.—The Democratic party is the party

of truth, of reform, of honor, of pro-gress, of honest purpose, and we appealto tho pride of every man who cherishesits ideas and believes in its missiou, toturn away trom those who ask him toburn incunse upon stfange altars. It isthe only party that has in its composi-tion elements of perpetuity, and a vital-ity born of correct principles. It alonemaintains its fidelity to constitutionalusages and the honored traditions ofthe country. It is the custodian of thehopes of that portion of the Americanpeople which long for the emancipationof the nation from the thraldom ofcorruption and tho evils of misgovern-nient under which they have stuggei'edfor years. Let every man stand trueto his colors. Lot him turn a deaf oarto the new tangled teachings and falla-cious speculations of domagogues audoffice-hunters, and the greater will behis enjoyment of the coming in of thenew era.—Hillsdale Democrat.

While the Trilnine makes note of thesubstantial extinguishment of tho Dem-ocratic party iu Maine, and of othersigns of its breaking up in New Hauipshiro, Connecticut aud elsowhore, let italso watch what is going on, for in-stance, in Pennsylvania. In some partsof that State there seems to be a shurpcontest between the Democratic partyand the Republican party as to whichof themshall recommend itself the moreeffectually to the Greenback party. Aunion of the Republicans and the Green-back men upon a single Congressionalticket has been effected in several dis-tricts. Surely these facts do not furnishsatisfactory proof that the Republicanparty is a hearty "defender of publiccredit and national honor."—New YorkKeening Post.

Proxy Beard's speech before the Re-publican Convention appears, so far aswe nan learn, to have made no impres-sion whatever. The harrangno whichhe is paid for delivering out of oleZach's assessment fund, is but a rehashof the cheap clap-trap of cross-roadspoliticians, and does not contain onesingle idea that is new, nor a sentimen'with which every man of common in-teligence is not familiar. Probably thebenefits the Republicans anticipate fronhiring him, do not center so much iihis ability to do effective work on thestump, as in the fact that he has beenidentified with the Democrats and wasa member of their State ConventionBut their recruit is so well known thaithey will find him a losing investment—Jackson Patsiot.

—The remedy is to place the govern-ment in the hands of a party pledged toeconomize and the removal of the aruficial checks on the prosperity of thecountry. Even with su li a changethe full measure of relief could not beattained except by a gradual process.There is no short cut to better time.sTho classes who are now embarked iithe greenback movement must soon, iithe nature of things, awake to a realization of this fact. When they come tctheir senses, we shall again fiml themready to accept the homely truths anold-fashioned Democratic principleswhich are now discarded for wild delu-sions and impracticable schemes. —Buffalo Courier.

—The latest trick of the Republicancampaighu orators is to denouuee theDnmouralic claim of economical admin-istration as false becauso the eleven appropriation bills for tho fiscal year luTN9 foot up $lo7,213,St.'i;5.77, as comparedwith #140,384,606.95 for the fiscal year1877—8 Very well. Now will ourRepublican friends lot us know why, i:$1 57,:MJ,9;i;J,77 isan extravigant amountthe Rupnblican Senate refused to concuiiu the House's proposition to appropriate$147,687,739.94 for the expenses of Gov-ernment and amended the appropria-tion bills till they amounted to $161,-852,269.41 V—JV. Y. World.

— Mr. Kugono Hale is about themost unregrotted "duoeased" whosename baa figured of late years in thepolitical obituary column. The apolo-gist of Republican corruption and ox-•tmvagance, the most prominent agentin wringing " voluntary contributions 'from poor clerks, in impudent defianceof his party's declaration anent thecivil service reform, and the ceaselesspromoter of sectional bitterness — hefalls without a friotid whose sympathyan honest man would desire. — N. YWorld.

When the President denios that theadministration has been laboring forSenator Conkling's defeat or that anyof its removals or appointments in NowYork luul that end in view, he provokesa very natural curiosity to know whythose removals were then made. Noreason was assigned for the changesIndeed, we believe that at least one o:the officers w;is ottered, and declined toaccept a certificate of good oonduc'when his head was taken off.— Buffalo

The defeat of Hale, of Maine—thehollowest and uoisu'st of New Englanddemagogues, will liimtly be regretteceven by his Republican associates inCongress. In virtue of Blaine's friendship, he aspired to something like theleadership of the Republican side of theHouse, and his conceit and assumptionmade him a nuisance that will be cheer-fully spared.— Chicago Times.

The Democrats will have the nextHouse beyond a doubt, and the Green-back movement will cost the Republi-cans several districts which the Demo-crats could not hope to carry under anycircumstances. They will lose three orfour in New Koglund, and some in NewYork and Pennsylvania, besides a num-ber mote in the Western States throughthis cause.—St. Louis Hepublican.

— Ex Secretary Robeson has been inWashington this week, saying that heexpects to be elected to Congress fromthe first Now Jersey District by fivehundred majority As he has not yetsecured the nomination, and as the Ro-publican majority in that district was1,890 two joars ago, we are in doubtwhether Mr. Robeson is a very modestman or not.—N. Y Evening Post.

—We should enjoy nothing betterthan a campaign for reform in state af-fairs, with a decent man for standard-bearer ; but Ben Butler as a reformer isSatan rebuking sin. We only hopothat he will succeed in frightening thedominant party out of its boots, andcalling attention to abuses which hon-est men will reform — we care not ofwhat party.— Boston Herald.

— Tho indications aro that Mr. Den-nis Kearney is likely to cost more thanhe is worth. Two days after he hadcollected sixty dollars in Chicago hepassed around the hat in St. Louis andasked for more. Thirty dollars a day isa pretty steep price to pay a man whodoes nothing but swear and keep a pri-vate secretary to help him.— Philadel-phia Times.

Blaine aud Hamlin | had the cam-paign all their own way in Maine, andthe result is not comforting. It wassaid that Vermont lost ground becausethe convention indorsed the administra-tion ; yet the Republican majority inthat State was ovor 20,000. Maine didnot indorse, and there is no Republicanuajority.— Cincinnati Gazette.

Mr. Hayes should remember that "heserves his party best who sprves hiscountry best," and that he will onlyjring disrepute on the administration}y efforts to "harmonize" the party indoubtful districts by giving office to allcandidates not nominated.—SpringfieldMass.) Republican.

Tim Prohibitory Platform.The following is the platform pu

forth by the Prohibitionists iu thiscounty convened in convention at Yps-ilanti on the 9th inst. :

We believe that it is the the duty of theovernment to legally prohibit the traflic ii

all alcoholic liquors ; that both moral and legameans ar« necessary to destroy this great publie evil ; that the persuasive force of reasoiand the higher power of religion must bo sustuined ami upheld by the strong arm of civilaw in order to meet the defiance by which apure public sentiment is obstructed and thesafety ot society imperilled; that absolutestatutory prohibition, faithfully enforced bythe police powei ot the govoriiment, and witlas little interference as possible on the part oprivate citizens, a» an imperious duty of thecommon wealth ; and

WHEREAS, The machinery of legislation irthis State is in the hands ol parties and persuns who do not know the rijiht in this matteror who if, knowing the right, pursue thwrong ; therefore

Resolved, That the people have no reined;but to make the principle oi prohibition an active issue, — to form a party and adhere to a:organization having that ond in view.

Resolved, That the dangers threatening oucountry from the cuntinuod and lucreasintsale of intoxicating liquors present the mosimportant issue now before tho people; amwe heteby earnestly entreat all candid, thoughtful temperance meu of Washtenaw countywithout regard to their past party connectionsto join hands with us in our effort to banislthis "gigantic crime of crimes" from our Stateand laud.

Resolved, That as the only correct and effective law against the high crime of liquor selling is that which entirely and forever closes uthe dram shops, any attempt to "regulate,"tax," or "license'* the pernicious business igrossly wicked and absurd, an outrage on thmoral intelligence of the peopie, and will milerably fail in promoting the cause of temperance or decreasing the amount of liquor consinned, in the future as in the past.

Ursnleiil, That we cordially approve thdeclaration ol" principles adopted by the reconProhibition Stato Convention at Lansing, amhereby express our implicit confidence in thintegrity and ability of the several candidatefor State offices nominated by that convention

Resolved, That we accept with pleasure thnomination ot Prof. A. H. Lowrie, of AdriaCollego, as our candidate for member of Congress from this district, and will give him ousupport.

Resolved, That we cordially approve and endorse the good work being done by the RefornClubs', Good Templars, Sonus of TemperanceW. C. T. Unions, and other kindred organizations, and will give them our unwavering support.

Maine and the Republican Party.Now that we can fairly got at the

facts in Maine we may set ourselves toregard conscientiously the causes, extentand lessons of the Republican defeat.

Some deduction is to be made for thefatal over-confidence and neglect of theRepublican managers, but after everyallowance is made they cannot deny ordiminish the immense significance ofthe event. Is it to be accounted forsimply by the preference of some thou-sands of the the voters of Maine forone platform to another i We agreewith our contemporary, the Times, whichof late has been envisaging the pros-pects of its party with a courage andfrankness that the party's managershave lacked, that the Greenback diseaseis no longer confined to the West—inother words, that no section of tho Unionhas a monopoly of unrest, distress andvisionary uuthusiasm—-but there is notreason enough furnished here for thechange of heart in thousands of men ofprinciple, education and strong partyattachments. Even granting the coin-cidence of hard times (which alwaystell against the party in power) and oftho greenback craze, and the reason isnot sufficient, especially when we con-sider the panic that this single blowhas wrought in the Republican partyeverywhere, and the indifference or con-gratulation with which men view theprospect of the disappearance of thatparty from the field of national politics.Is it not more rational to conclude thatthe nation has passed sentence upomthe Republican party and declared thatas it has nothing better to offer than abugaboo about Southern claims itshould be cut off as a cumberer of theground 'i It is only eighteen monthssince Mr. Hayes was inaugurated, andwith him a policy of Southern coucilia-tion, and the first issue that the Repub-lican party raises in a campaign wheretho control of.Congress and the Presi-dency in 1880 are at stake is that of theSouthern claims. If we look at theother wing of the Republican party wefind Robesou, Carpenter, Chandler,Logan and the Whisky Ring all comingto the front, and an indefinite revivalof Grantism offered the people as theironly salvation ! When this is all thatthe Republicans can offer the country,is it any wonder that tho people of Or-egon rise and slay Mr. Mitchell, andthe peopie of Maine revolt and makean end of Messrs. Blaine, Hamlin andHalo ?

Whether this is the end of the Re-publican party we shall be better ableto tell after the October elections, whenIowa and Ohio are tested, the one astrong Republican State, the other de-batable ground. There is one signifi-cant point our Republican friends over-look—that of late years when the Dem-ocrats capture a State they keep it, andwhen the Republican power is at allshaken it is never restored. In Arkan-sas, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Missis-sippi, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas,everywhere in the South that the De-mocracy has regained control, the Re-publican party has vanished like abursting bubble. Since the Republicanparty in Missouri was broken by theliberal movement of 1870 it has failed,till now, within eight weeks of electionday, it has not made one nominationfor Congress while holding four of thir-teen seats. Indiana was wrested fromMorton in 1876 and the Republicanshave no hope of regaining it. Up to1873 only once in twenty-one years hadOhio gone Democratic, and in Presiden-tial years it was Republican by from34,000 to 64,000; in 1874 and 1875 theDemocrats carried it; in 1876 Hayesbarely saved himself; in 1877 the Dem-ocrats entered the citadel, and in 1878tho Republicans are only going throughthe motions of a State canvass. Therewas Pennsylvania, which in 1872 gaveGrant 136,000 msjority. The tidal-wade shook it, and though Hartranftand Hayes squeezed through, it cameover last year and this year will elect aDemocratic Governor. There is Illinois,where Grant's candidature each timesecured a majority of ovor 50,000 ; theRepublican majority in 1876 was a littleovor 2,000. Michigan's majority hasshrunk from 60,000 to 15,000 NewYork is a recognized Democratic State.

What further evidence is needed toshow that the Republican party hasexhausted itself'( It ran upon the forceof an idea for some years. When thatimpulse was lost and its mission was ac-complished it retained itself in powerby inertia, force, fraud and prejudice.Once bereft of power it has no activeprinciple, no recuperative force, nplausible or decent exouse for existing—N. Y. World.

A New Railroad Project.The suggestion made in the AEOUa of two

weeks ago touching the importance of a rail-road connection with the Grand Trunk atPontiac has already borne fruit. A meetingwas held in this city on Monday, a companyorganized with a capital stock of $500,000,$1,000 a mile subscribed and the five per cent,paid in, and the following officers elected:

President, James M. Ashley, Toledo.Secretary, Henry C. Waldron, Ann Arbor.Treasurer, James B. Gott, Ann Arbor.Directors, Janmes M. Ashley, Toledo, and

H. C. Waldron, Edward Tread well, IsraelHall, James B. Gott, Edwin Lawrence, James-M. Ashley, Jr., and Philip Bach, all of AnnArbor.

The corporation was christened "The Toledo,Ann Arbor and Northeastern Railroad ComJpany." Immediate efforts will be made to securesufficient aid along the line to purchase theright of way and pay for the grading. This doneit is understood that the capital will be forth-coming to iron and stock the road. As thisroad would cut the Detroit and Lansing andthe Flint and Fere Marquette roads it wouldafford additional valuable connections as wellas the connection with the Grand Trunkdirectly looked after. If the company shouldshow that it means business the farmers alongthe line should give generously in aid of theroad. Every railroad built is a great benefitto the country through which it passes.

RED RIBBONS.— There was high jubilee at the Opera

House on Sunday afternoon last, every seatabove and below being filled. Seven Metho-dist ministers, Revs. Smart, Fox, Pardington,Parker, Allen, Hamilton, aud Chaplain Mc-Cabe gave short and stirring addresses.

Tl ie F a r m 4ial<>.Interested parties are seeking to collect

money from the farmers of this State underthe claim that a gate in common use is an in-fringement of a patent issued October 24,1865, to one John C. Lee, of Seville, O., andhave commenced suit in the Circuit Court ofthe United States, against some farmers whohave refused to pay their demands.

It is believed there is a good defense tothese suits; but, while the aggregate tax onthe farmers of Michigan would be very large,the demand upon any one man is too small tojustify him in incurring alone the expenses ofsuch defense.

As it is of great importance to the farmersof the State to have their rights determinedat an early day, the Michigan Farmers' Mu-tual Defense Association has been organizedfor the purpose of testing the validity of thepatent, and deciding the question of infringe-ment.

The Association has retained counsel andproposes to defend all suits brought against itsmembers until the court of last resort shallhave decided all the issues involved.

A copy of the articles of association willbe sent to any person on application to theofficers.

Any resident of Michigan may become amember of the Association by sending hisfull name and address, with two dollars, totlie Treasurer.

A detailed statement of all receipts and dis-bursements will be rendered, and the surplus,if any, refunded pro rata to the members.

THE September returns to the De-partment of Agriculture at Washington givethe average condition of the corn crop at 92,against 0G in August. The September re-turns indicate an average of «7 in the condi-tion of the wheat crop, against 02 in Septem-ber, 1877. Tho reduction is mostly due to dis-asters to the spring-wheat crop in the North-west. A preliminary examination of the re-turns of the acreage indicito that the breadthsown iu 1878 was about one-sixth greater thaniu 1S77.

Houses.

What it Might Have Been if Assistedby the Republican Senate.

The following is the result of an interviewbetween a reporter of the Washington Postand Hon. Joseph C. S. Blackburn, of Ken-tucky, in review of the charges and misrepre-sentations alleged to have been made by Sena-tor Windom, iu the interest of the Republicanparty, aud by which that gentleman has en-deavorod to break t In force of the economy ofDemocratic rule, as established by the recordsof the Government.

Reporter—Have you read the so-called" Windom Interview," circulated by tho Gor-ham-Halo committee ?

Mr. Blac'ibnrn—Yes, carefully. It is of apioco with similar campaign misrepresentationswitli which the Republican Congressional Com-mittee aro trying to deceive the people

llsporUr—What action, if any, will tho Con-gressional Democratic Committee take in refer-ence to this and similar efforts of tho Repub-licans to cry down the reputition of the Dem-ocratic party for economy V

Mr. Blackburn—Senator Windom is only fol-lowing out a plan adopted by his party in itsdeath-struggle to break the force of tho sav-ings actually effected by the DemocraticHouse, and he, like his co-laborers, endeavorsto mislead the uninitiated in various ways.For example, he refuses to take note of theactual decrease of expenditures under Demo-cratic rule, and, whilst he cannot deny also thegreat reductions in tho appropriations whichthe Democratic House ha^ effected, he endeav-ors to explain it away by saying that these re-ductions were made " by denying appropria-tions indispensable to the public service ; bvpostponing necessary public works ; by repudi-ating national obligations; by withholdinglarge sums for deficiency bills." All thesecharges are known to be entirely untrue, butit seems to be an understood thing all alongthe Republican line that something must bedone to explain away Democratic economy.

Reporter—What is the comparative record ofthe Democratic and Republican parties as toeconomy in conducting the Government ?

Mr. Biackburn—The official figures will veri-fy what has became a matter of householdknowledge, that the record of the Democraticparly is one of economy, aud the record of theRepublican party is one of extravagance andcorruption. Economy with the Democraticparly is of no recent origin, aud, as was to beexpected, as soon as the Democracy obtainedcontrol of the nouso of Representatives, itforced upon the Republican administrationaud Senate reductions of great magnitude,both in appropriations and expenditures.

Now, in order to make a compari-son which oven tho Republican Chairman of aSenate committee caunot with all his acquiredknowledge of figures successfully refute, wewill eliminate this war peiiod from'our calcula-tion. This being done, wo flud that, from thecommencement of tho Government to the be-gioning of the war, that is, from tho fiscal yearended March 4, 1789, down to and includingthe fiscal yoar ended June 30, 1861, both inclu-sive, covering a period of more than seventy-three years, the net ordinary expenditures ofthe Government for the purposes above statedamounted to $1,506,726,151.15. Now, the netordinary expenditures of tho Government fortho same purposes, for the last ten years ofunbroken Republican rule, beginning with thefiscal year ended June 30, 1867, mofe than oneyear after the war, and including tho fiscalyear ended June 30, 1876. amounted to $1,628,-917,137.87, thus showing an excess of expeudituresof $22,190,996.72 against the Republicanparty. Or, to state it plainly, the net ordinarvexpenditures of the Government, exclusive ofthe public debt, principal, premiums and inter-est, and exclusive also of pensions, for a periodof ten years, beginning moro than one yearafter tho conclusion of the war, wero more than$22,000,000 in excess of ths expenditures ofthe Government for seventy-three years nextantedating the accession of the Republicanparty to power.

Sep.— How do the ten years of Democraticrule Defore the war compare with ten years ofRepublican rule since the war ?

Mr. B —If we tako the ten years of Demo-cratic conservative rule, beginning with thefiscal year ondel Jane 3 I, 1852, up to the fiscalyear ended June 30, 1861, both in«lu.-ive. wolind tho net ordinary expenditures of the Gov-ernment to have been $572,872,200.52 asagainst $1,528,917,137.87 for the same purposesfor ten years of Rulic.il rule during peice,namely, from the fiscal year ended June 3!>,1M.J7, to the fi^cil year ended June 30, 1876,both inclusive, giving an excess of Republicanexpenditures over the expenditures underDemocratic conservative rule of $956,044,877,-J5, being an increase of net ordinary expendi-tures under Republican rule of about 170 percent. The average net ordinary expeadituresj»r annum for the ten years of Republicanrule was $150,672,614 11, while the net ordinary<xpeuditures for the ton years of Democraticrule above named were only $57,287,226.05,showing tint tho net ordinary exoondituresunder Republican rule during a decade ofpeace were nearly three times as large as forthe decade of Democratic rule immediatelypreceding the war. If it shall be objected thatthere is at least ono element of unfairness inthis presentation of official data, upon thoscore of an increase of population, it isanswered that, taking as a basis of this calcu-lation the census of I860, wo find that the costper capita for the ten years next previous tothe war, for net oidiuaiv expenditures, withwhich wet alone are now dealing, was $18 26,whilst, taking the census of 1870 as the basisof the calculation, we find that the cott percapita for the ten years of Republican ruleduring a time of peace, beginning with thefiscal year ending June 30, 1867, was $39.65,boing an excess against the Republican partyof about 117 por cent., eothat it seems difficultto find tho ground upon which any Republicanstatesman may defend his party from thecharge of excessive expenditures w'hen consid-ered either in bulk or upon the per-capita cal-culation, and we certainly feel that we dealfairly in selecting that decade of Democraticrule Immediately preceding the war, and con-trastirg it witii a like period of Republicanrule beginning more than one year after thewar had closed, and coming down to the lastfiscal year in which the Republicans held con-trol of both houses of Congress.

Rep.—Senator Windom said in his interviewthat the Republicans had gradually reduced thoexpenditures of the Government Since the war.Is this true f

Mr. B.—I answer emphatically, no ! For ex-ample, let us examine tho expenditures of theOoveiDinent. beginning wilh the ficj,l year1871, and ending with 1870. the last fiscal yeara Republican Congress controlled the appro-priations, embracing net ordinary expjndituresonly, and excluding the public debt, principal,interest and premiums, and excluding alsopen-sious. Here they are:For the fleeal y e a r ' l M l $123 139.B32.0OKor the fiscal ye>ar 187'i m H8H 4M.431'or tbc focal .vear ] li'J 161.1211,210.01For the fiscal year 1871 ](;".,(:« i,.'uli itFor tbe fisco'. year lavii 14'J ti7:!,fi.c!.< 5Fur the fiscal year 1876 l;!G,GU0.417.G7

This shows the gradual increaso for 1870, tholast fiscal year tho Republicans controlled bothHouses, of $13,400,485.07, over the expend-itures for 1871, and an increase of expendituresfor 1871, as compared with 1871, of $41,940,-638.34. These figures show a positive Increaseof appropriations for the expenditures oi thoGovernment under Radical rule as wo I ecedefrom the war poriod, for which no justificationcan be pload. When we consider, too, that thepurchasing power of the dollar has greatly aug-mented since 1871, these enormous increases ofpublic expenditures appear still more inexcus-able and criminal.

Rep.—How does this record of Ropublicanextravagance coatrast with the record made bythe Democratic Houses of the Forty-fourthand Forty-fifth Congresses ?

Mr. IS."— If wo tako the expenditures of thoGovernment for the fiscal years 1877 aud 1878,being tho years appropriated for by the Forty-fourth Congress, the first year sinco tbe warwhen tho Democrats controlled tho House ofRepresentatives, we find a very heavy de-crease of expenditures a compared with anytwo years since tho Radicals came into- power.The actual net ordinary expenditures, ex-clusive of the public debt, principal, premi-ums and interest, aud exclusive also of peu-siens appropriated for by the Forty-thirdCongress and the Forty-fourth Cougress, areas follows :RtpiibUcan Fmtii-tkini Forty-futirth Congress,

Here, then, we have ftatcd for each fiscalyear the actual net ordinary expenditures forthe years 1875 and 1876 under tho appropria-tions made by a Republican Congress, againstwhich we place the expenditures for t te samepurposes for tho years 1877 and 1878, underthe influence of a Democratic House, showingan actual saving of $55,372,463.03, made undertho greatest dilnoultios placod iu the way ofretrenchment by a Republican Senate aud aRepublican administration.

Rop.—Wero not the reductions in the elevengreat Appropriation bills, exclusive of thoPension bill, passed by tho Forty-fourth Con-gress under the same bills passed by tho Forty-tbiid Congress greater than "he reduction of$55,000,000 on tho expenditures secured by theDemooratic House in the Forty-fourth Con-gress ?

Mr. B.—Undoubtedly they were. The re-ductions in theso bills secured by the House,after repeated struggles with tho RepublicanSenate, foot up $61,083,615.63; but even thisgreat saving would have been largely increasedhad not the Democratic House been thwartedat every stop in the direction of retrenchmentand reform by Republican Senate and Republi-can officials.

Rep.—How do the appropriations for thofiscal years 1874, 1875 and 1876, when the Re-publicans controlled both houses, oomparewith the appropriations for 1877, 1878 and1879, when the Democrats had control of theHouse of Representatives ?

Mr. B.—ID the eleven great bills for the sup-port of the Government, the appropriationsfor 1877, 1878 and 1879 show an attemptedsaving by the House of over $114,000,000, audan actual saving of more than $88,000,000. ascompared with the similar bills passed by a Re-publican Congress for 1874, 1875 and 1876.Tbo actual appropriations for these elevenbills, including pensions, is as follows :1874 $181,PR7,O.r>4.61 1877 $146,997,956.72187f> 177,C,79,47:i.77 187K U0.S81 606.961876 172,060 2(0.53 1879 157,'2!3,933.77

the untiring efforts of the Democratic Housesin tbe Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congressesof $88,270,236.47. But, great as this reductionwas for a period of three years, it does notrepresent all that was sought to be accom-plished, for it should be borne in mind thatthereductions above shown are not as great aswere demanded by the Democratic House, butonly represent the concessions that the Housewas able to secure from a protesting Repub-lican Senate, whose Committee on Appropria-tions, continuously straggling for an increase >of appropriations, find thwarting the Honse atevery stup in its honost efforts at reduction,was presided over then, as now, by the gen-tlomau whose interview you havo called |attention to; so that if there be any-thing in this record of retrenchmentfor which that Senator may justly claimcredit, it is his partially successful but persist-ent efforts to resist every attempt of a Demo-cratic House to reduce the current expenses ofthe Government. It must be recollected alsothat the Democracy havo not, as yet, securedcontrol of both branches of Consrrtss, and cmhardly be made fairly responsible for suchfailure of reductions as tho Senate may haverefused to accede to.

Mr. 1).—No moro than there if iu auv otherof tho campaign misrepresentations that arebeing manufactured by their Campaign Com-mittee ami sent broadcast throughout thecountry: Tile appropriiti. ma inad6 by Con-gress constitute the law by which the severaldepartments of tile Government arb to becauductod. No deficiency can occur so long asthe law is observed. The appearance of a de-ficiency is generally proof conclusive that thoofficer charged witn the administration of thedepartment in which tho some appears haspassed out of aud violated the law. Itmust be re_uctnbered that the execution of alllaws during those years has been intrusteelto Republican hand.", and that tt is RepulilicnnSecretaries aud llopnblicau officials that haveManufactured the deficiencies that a Demo-cratic House has been forced to cdnfront. Webelieved at the time that these appropriationswere made, aiid do still bsrievo. that it is sus-ceptible of proof that the appropriations asmade, notwithstanding the heavy reductions,were moro than sufficient, with proper admin-istration of tbe several departments, to haveprovided for all lho necessities of the Govern-ment, Now, however, we are charged withany laxity of administration that may, diningthe last eighteen years, have crept into and es-tablished itself in the management of the Gov-ernment in tho hands of the Republican party,and thus they seek to dotract from tbe greatsavings secured by a Democratic House bycharging against it the millions illegally ex-pended by Republican Secretaries. But be-yond this it is to be said that a very largo pro-portiou of the sums found neceSA&ry to bo pro-viclod for by deficiency bills ante-date the ad-vont of the Democratic party into power iuthe House, reaching back to tho fiscal year1876 aud years pricr thereto. For example,by way of illustrating the character of thesedebts for which appropriations were made inthose deficiency bills, tako the case of the lateadministration of tho navy, which bequeathedto us as a legacy a debt ot nearly $10,000,G00,tho greater portion, if not all, of which hadbeen croated outside of and without any war-rant of law, no one denying that under thehead of deficiencies for 1876 aud prior j cam,and those growing out ot misanpr• priation offunds in tho Navy Department, of ilie wholeamouut of $5,559,000, about $1,500,000 of itwas for deficiency of pay of the navy, pro-duced by an illegal diversion of funds that hadalready been appropriated for that purpose,and tho remainder, nearly $4,000,000, beingfor the liquidation of contracts mado withoutany warrant of law, anel many of them coveredwith suspicion at least, if not tainted by fraud,so that but little justice can be discovered iutho effort of tho Republican leaders to uuko usresponsible for these sums of deficiency whichtheir own officials unlawfully created and leftto rest as an incnbiu upon some succeedingCongress. Indeed it was a matter of gravedoubt in the minds of many whetherthis vast debt, created withoutsemblance of law, and much of it the productof fraud, should have been discharged withoutsearching investigation or judicial inquiry.But, to avoid the semblance of repudiationon the part of tho Government, even of obliga-tions entered into by faithless oilicials, it wasdeemod best to provide payment for such sum*as might not be avoidod, recognizing in thisono of the many penalties imposed by Repub-lican rule. Again, I might say, by way of il-lustration, you will find one item in tho shapeof an advanced appropriation on the next yearof throe hundred and odd thousand dollars,for subsistence to the army, which Bum was in-serted in a deficiency bill, and deducted fromtbo Army bill, upon the suggestion of the Sec-retary of War. Aud so you might go throughtbe lists. Thore is nothing in this point ofsubstantial truth or force, and it isonly made use of by tho Republi-cans because the very title of the defi-ciency bill affords them a pretext for the con-fusion of facts. So that, view it as we will, nooiiii cau deny that during the last three years,with the control of the House in Democratichands, tho appropriations havo been smaller,even as loaded down by Republican Senatorialliberality, than for any like period of time un-der complete Repnblicau rule: and howevermuch or little importance may be attached tothe Demoer?tic policy of economy, as evincedby tho work of reducing appropriations, thocountry is yet confronted by the fact that onthe score of actual expenditures there is no pe-riod of Republican domination that does -notsuffer grievously in comparison with the twoyears now last past, wherein the hand of theDemocratic party, ihrongh its control of thoHouse, has boon firmly fastened upon thepurse-strings of tnc country.

Is it unrair, tbeu, to assume that, with anextravagant; Republican Senate displaced by aDemocratic majority in sympathy with thepolicy thus illustrated by every DemocraticHouse, supported by an Executive in accordwith the efforts thus inaugurated, that thisgrateful process of diminution of expendituresand lightening of burdens will go happily for-ward to that consummation which the peoplehave a right to demand, and did demand in nouncertain tonos in their verdict of November,1876?

The desperate efforts of Republican leaders,like Senator Windom and Mr. Foster andothers, to torture official figures into a cloakfor their party's extravagance aud corruption,whilst not to be justified is probably not to bewouudered at. But the uncandid attempt oftbes) gentlemen in taking the offeusive. audthereby seeking to show before an intelligentpeople that the charge of extravagance belongsto us, will only suffice to illustrate the audacityof au effort made necesEary by the dasperationof thoir cause.

"Although no doctrine in politicaleconomy rests on more obvious groundsthan the mischief of a paper currencynot maintained at the same value witha metallic, either by convertibility orby some principle of limitation equiva-lent to it; and although, accordingly,this doctrine has, though not till afterthe discoveries of many years, been tol-erably effectually drummed into thepublic mind, yet dissentients are stillnumerous, and projecters every now andthen start up with plans for curing allthe economical evils of society by meansof an unlimited issue of inconvertiblepaper. There is, in truth, a great charmin the idea. To be able to pay off thenational debt, defray the expenses ofGovernment •without taxation, and, infine, to make the fortunes of the wholecommunity, is a brilliant prospect whenonce a man is capable of believing thatprinting a few characters on bits ofpaper will do it.

A Brace of "National" Lies.

Not long ago a Greenback orator toldhis audience that under the National-Banking act a man could take, say,$100,000 in United States bonds, de-posit them with the Treasurer at Wash-ington and get his currency on them,then take the currency and buy morebonds, get h's currency on them, andagain buy bonds, anel so on, thus accu-mulating millions of bonds by runningthis little round with an original capitalof only $100,000. This tremendous argu-ment against the national-banking sys-tem was receiveel by the audience withapplause, and no doubt convinced thecredulous crowd that the system was adesperately wicked scheme for enablinga few "pampered favorites" of theGovernment to get possession of enor-mous amounts cf bonds without everpaying for them. Probably it did notoccur to the orator or his hearers to in-quire whether the facts supported thetheory.

It is a fact which anybody who willtake the trouble to read the law can findout for himself that any five personswho will pay in the capital required—$50,000 in places containing not morethan 6,000 inhabitants, and $100,000 inother places—may start a national bank,and go into the currency-bond business.Such being the fact, how happens it, ifthe orator's statement is true, that onthe 1st of November last there were only2,071 national banks in operation, whilethere were 4,501 State and private banks,besides a very large number of capital-ists who woulel be only too glad to get amillion or two of bonds at fan originaloutlay of only $100,000 ? The State andprivate bankers and the grasping capital-ists must be surprisingly stupid to letslip such a glorious opportunity to makefrom 40 per cent, to 1,000 per cent, ormore on their money.

But perhaps the orator will tell usthat these fellows were not in the secretof the game. Very well; it is presuma-ble that the national bankers were inthe secret, and what is the fact with re-spect to them 'i On the 1st of Novem-ber. 1877, the 2,071 national banks hadonly $318,207,231 in circulation out-standing, and only $341,260,900 in bondsdeposited to secure tho circulation.This was an average of $164,800 to eachbank, and, as thore must be at least fivemembers of any national-banking asso-ciation, it was an average of less than$33,000 to each member. Now, is it notpassing strange that these shrewd fel-lows, wuo know all about tho trick ofgetting bonds for nothing, should besatisfied with so moderate a haul ? Andhere is another fact: Until Jnly 14,1870, the circulation of the nationalbanks was limited to $300,000,000. Fromthat time to Jan. 14,1875, it was limitedto $354,000,000. Down to tho date lastnamed, therefore, there was a reasonwhy the tankers should not go on in-definitely getting bonds according to theplan outlined by the Greenback orator.But at that date all restriction uponbank issues was removed. Since thenthe bankers have been free to buy upall the United States bonds in markeitby thei prooess indicated. So far fromdoing that, they have actually reducedth(5ir circulation $32,000,000, and theirbonds $30,000,000 since they have beenat liberty to increase both indefinitely,as long as there) were any United Statesbonds to be had. If they could get thebonds on the terms stated by the Green-back orator, it is certainly most wonder-ful that they have taken the opposite

course, and reduced their stock ofbonds.

Tlie same correspondent who reportsthe above argnment, and who has beenpresent at many Greenback meetings indifferent parts of the country, onys thatit Is common for the Greenback speakersto assert that the national debt has beeninorenecd hundreds of millions since1866, and to point to the current sales of4-per-oeflt. bonds in proof of the asser-tion. The wonder is that people can befotmd in this country who are ignorantenough to swallow such assertions; andyet there is reason to believe that thous-ands of such persons etfist, and read thonecj>«pers to some limited eite»t. Itmay not be useless to state for the infor-mation of such th'ftt the national debtreached its maximum 6B August 31,1865, when it amounted to $'2,846,»07,-626. On the 31st of last month itamounted to $2,278,717,452. The re-duction, therefore, since the maximumwas reached, has been $567,190,174.The total debt bearing interest August31, 18G5, was$2,384,291,315. Onthe31.ttilt, it was $1,818,087,540. The reductionmthedebtbe-irinsfinteresi, therefore, hasbeen $565,603,775. From this it appearsthat the reduction since 1865 has beei:confined almost wholly to the debt bear-ing interest, and the saving in the an-nnal outlay for interest by the reductionhas been not far from $40,000,000. Asto the sales of 4-per-cent. bonds, theyprove nothing, except that debt bearinginterest at 0 per cent, is being convertedinto debt bearing interest at 4 per cent.For every $1,000 4-per-cent. bond solda $1,000 6-per-cent. bond is redeemed,and a saving of $20 a year on account ofinterest is effected.

The foregoing are two sample mis-statements out of many that are used asarguments by the "absolute" moneyagitators." These statements, and manymore like them, are so manifestly false,and would so certainly be known to befalse by any intelligent audience, thatthey are usuallv reeerveel by the betterinformed and more shrewd agitators forthe more ignorant audiences, and for oc-casions when no reporters for the pressare supposed to be present, and whenno one is at hand who is prepared to dis-prove them. Still they are dangerou3,and their utter falsity ought to be sothoroughly exposed that nobody canhave any excuse for beHeving them.—Chicago Times.

THE SEVEN-THIRTIES.

Conclusive Kvidenoe That They WereNever Used as Legal Tenders.

The Greenbackers still in&ist that the7.30s were legal teneler, and the atten-tion of the treasury authorities has beencalleel to the following section of theEevised Statutes:

SEC. 3,590. Treasury notes issued uuder theauthority of the act of March 8, 1863, cfiap. 73,and Juiie 30, 1864, chap. 1,872, shall be legaltender to the same extent as United Statesnotes for their face value, including interest.

Application having been made to thetreasury to explain that law, the officialsreturned an answer, the terms ofwhich were as follows: " The sec. 3,500of the Eevised Statutes by its tenor ex-cludes the $600,000,000 of 7.30s whichwere issued under the act of June 30,1865. It apparently includes the $200,-000,000 issued under the act of June 3,1864. This is only apparent, however,from the faet that the Kevised Statutesomit the limitation upon 7.30a, whichalone could make them legal tender.Tbis limitation provided that such7.30s might be legal tenders as weremade, principal anel interest, payableat maturity. No 7.30s were so issued,but all were coupon notes, interest pay-able semi-annually. This limitation wasomitted from the revision, but, even ifthe revision could be construed to applyto the $200,000,000, the section is iuop-erative, as those notes had all been re-deemed or converted seven years beforethe Bevised Statutes were enacted, andby the very same clause of the revisionitself, at the end of the Revised Statutes,the apparent change in the law couldnot affect acts which had been accom-plished or rights which had accrued be-fore tho revision and the 7.30s had beenconverteel or redeemed, so that the ap-parent change in the revision which, bythe omission of the limitation as to theprincipal aud interest being payable atmaturity, made the legal-tender clauseinoperative as to the smaller issues of$200,000,000, and, of course, has no ap-plication whatever to the issue of $600,-000,000 made under authority of the actto which this revision does not refer, andwhich act by its terms provided that no7.30s issued under it could bo legal ten-ders until they were made interest andprincipal payable at maturity. The sec-tion which makes section 3,590 inopera-tive as to even the $200,000,000 is section5,697.— Washington telegram.

TheGovernment, not liking to treat theselads as political criminals, sent them tothe reformatory at Rouen, and shortlyafterward two eminent physicians wererequested to visit them, anel report ontheir mental and physical condition.They found out of the 500 youths, 337 jwere of very delicate physical form andstunted growth. They were among themost mischievous of the whole, and allchildren of drunken mothers. — GoodWords.
