TBK MODEL CHUKCH.

Well, wife, I've found the model church! I wor-shiped there to-day;

It made me think of good old times, before myhairs were gray.

The mee tin'-house was finer built than they wereyears ago;

But then I found, when I went in, it wasn't builtfor show.

The sexton didn't seat me 'way back by the door;Be knew that t was old and deaf, as well aB old and

poor.He must have been a Christian, for he led me

boldly throughThe long aisle of that pleasant church TO find a

pleasant pew.

I wish you'd heard the eingin*—it had the old-timering—

The preacher paid with trumpet voice, " Let all thepeople sing ; "

The tune was ** Coronation," and the music upwardrolled

Till I thought I heard the angelfi striking all theirharps of gold.

My deafness seemed to melt away, my spirit catiglitthe lire,

[ joined my feeble, trembling voice with that melo-dious choir,

d sang, as in my youthful days, " Let angelsprostrate fall,

Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lordof all."

I tell you, wife, it did me good to sing that hymnonce more;

I felt like some wrecked mariner who gets a glimpseof shore;

I almost want to lay aside this weather-beatenform

And anchor in the blessed port forever from thestorm.

The preachin'! well, I can't just tell all that the] reacher said;

! know it wasn't written, I know it wasn't road;He hadn't time to read, for the lightnin' of kis

eyeWent passing 'long from pew to pew, nor passed a

sinner by.

The sermon wasn't flowery, 'twas simple gospeltruth.

It fitted poor old men like me, it fitted hopefulyouth.

Twas full of consolation for weary hearts thatbleed,

Twas full of invitations to Christ—and not tocreed.

The preacher made sin hideous in Gentiles and inJews;

le shot the golden sentences straight at the finestpews.

And, though I can't see very well, I saw the fallingtear

That told me he!l was some way off, and heavenvery near,

low swift the golden moments fled within thatholy place;

How brightly beamed the light of heaven fromevery happy face!

Again I longed for that sweet time when friendshall meet with friend,

When congregations ne'er break up and Sabbathshave no end.

hope to meet that niiniister, the congregation,too,

n the dear home beyond tho skies, that shinesfrom heaven's blue,

doubt not I'll remember, beyond life's eveninggray,

The face of God's dear servant who proclaimed Hisword to-day.

)ear wife, the fight will soon be fought, the vic-tory be won,

'he shining goal is just ahead, the race is nearlyrun.

O'er the river we are near in' they are throngin' tothe shore

'o shout our eafe arrival where the weary weep nomore.

THE BOX TUNNEL.

BY CHARGES READE.

The 10:15 train glided from Padding->OD, May 7, 1847. In the left compart-ment of a certain first-class carriage wereonr passengers; of these two were worthleecription. The lady had a smooth,

white, delicate brow, strongly markedeyebrows, long lashes, eyes that seemedo change color, and a good-sized, deli-ious mouth, with teeth as white as milk.

A man could not see her nose for her eyesand mouth; her own sex could andwould have told us some nonsense aboutt. She wore an unpretending grayish

dress, buttoned to the throat withozenge-shaped buttons, and a Scottishhawl that agreeably evaded color. She

was like a duck, so tighther piain feath-rs fitted her, and there she sat, smooth,mug, and delicious, with a book in herland, and a soupcon of her wrist just

visible as she held it. Her oppositeneighbor was what I call a good style ofman—the more to his credit, since he'elonged to a corporation that frequentlyurns out the worst imaginable style ofyoung men. He was a cavalry officer,ged 25. He had a mustache, but not aery repulsive one; not one of those sub-asal pigtails on which soup is suspendedike dew on a shrub; it was short, thick,nd black as a coal. His teeth had notet been turned by tobacco smoke totie color of juice ; his clothes did nottick to nor hang to him; he had aa en-pging smile, and, what I liked the dogor, his vanity, which was inordinate,vas in its proper place, his heart, not inlis face, jostling mine and other people'sho have none—in a word, he was whatne (jftener hewrs of than meets— aoung gentleman. He was conversing in

in animated whisper with a com-anion, a fellow officer; they werelkitig about what it is faretter not to—women. Our friendlearly did not wish to be overheard ;or he cast ever and anon a furtivelance at his fair vis-a-vis and loweredis voice. She seemed completely ab-orbed in her book, and that reassuredim. At last the two soldiers cameown to a whisper (the truth must beold); the one who got down at Slough,nd was lost to posterity, bet ten poundso three that he who was going down

with us to Bath and immortality wouldot kiss either of the ladies oppositen the road. "Done, done!" Nowam sorry a man I have hitherto praisediould have lent himself, even in ahisper, to such a speculation; "butobody is wis? at all hours," not even

when the clock is striking five and twen-y; and you are to consider his pro-jssion, his good looks, and the tempta-IOH—ton to three.

After Slough the party was reduced toiree; at Twylforci one lady droppeder handkerchief; Oapt. Dolignan felln it like a lamb; two or three words•ere interchanged on this occasion.

At Beading the Marlborough of our talelade one of the safe investments of thatay, he bought a Times and Punch;ae latter full of steel-pen thrusts andvoodcuts. Valor and beauty deignedo laugh at some inflamed humbug orther punctured by Punch. Nowlaugh-ig together thaws onr human ice—atwindou it was a talking match—atwindon who so devoted as Oapt. Dolig-an ?—he handed them out—he soupedicm—he tough-chickened them—herandied and cochinealed one, and herandied and burnt-sugared the other;n their return to the carriage, one lady)assed into the inner compartment to in-pect a certain gentleman's seat on thatide of the line.

Reader, had it been you or I, theeauty would have been the deserter,le average one would have stayed with8 till all was blue, ourselves included;ot more surely does our slice of breadnd butter, when it escapes from ourand, revolve it ever so often, alightace downward on the carpet. But this

was a bit of a fop, Adonis, dragoon—so~enus remained in tete-a-tete with him.

ou have seen a dog meet an unknownemale of his species, how handsome,ow empresse, how expressive he be-omes; such was the Dolignan afterwindon, and, to do the dog justice, heot handsomer and handsomer; and youave seen a cat conscious of approach-

ing cream—such was Miss Haythorn;she became demurer and demurer; pres-ently our Captain looked out of thewindow nnd laughed; this elicited aninquiring look from Haythorn.

" Wo are only a mile from the BoxTunnel."

"Do you always laugh a mile fromthe Box Tunnel ?" said the lady.

"Invariably.""What for?"" Why, hem! it is a gentleman's

oke."Oapt. Dolignan then recounted to Miss

Haythorn the following:" A lady and her husband eat together

going through the Box Tunnel—therewas one gentleman opposite; it waspitch dark; after the tunnel the ladysaid, ' George, how absurd of you to sa-lute me going through the tunnel.' ' Idid no such thing.' ' You didn't ?'' No ! why ?' ' Because somehow Ithought you did ?' "

Here Oapt. Dolignan laughed and en-deavored to lead his companion tolaugh, but it was not to be done. Thetrain entered the tunnel.

Miss Haythorn—Ah !Dolignan—What is the matter?Miss Haythorn—I am frightened.Dolignan (moving to her side)—Pray

do not be alarmed ; I am near you.Miss Haythorn—You are near me—

very near me, indeed, Capt. Dolignan.Dolignan—You know my name ?Miss Haythorn—I heard you mention

it. I wish we were out of this darkplace.

Dolignan—I could be content tospend hours here, reassuring you, mydear lady.

Miss Haythorn—Nonsense !Dolignan—Pweep ! (Grave reader,

do not put your lips to the next prettycreature you meet, or you will under-stand what this means.)

Miss Haythorn—Ee! Ee !Friend—What is the matter ?Miss Haythorn—Open the door!

Open the door!There was a sound of hurried whis-

pers, the door was shut, and the blindpulled down with hostile sharpness.

If any critic falls on me for puttinginarticulate sounds in a dialogue asabove, I answer, with all the insolence Ican command at present, " Hit boys asbig as yourself;" bigger, perhaps, suchas Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristo-phanes ; they began it, and I learned itof them, sore against my will.

Miss Haythorn's scream lost most ofits effect because the engine whistled40,000 murders at the same moment; andfictitious grief makes itself heard whenreal cannot.

Between the tunnel and Bath ouryoung friend had time to ask whetherhis conduct had been marked by thatdelicate reserve which is supposed todistinguish the perfect gentleman.

With a long face, real or feigned, heheld open the door; his late friends at-tempted to escape ou the other side—impossible ! they must pass him. Shewhom he had insulted (Latin for kissed)deposited somewhere at his feet a lookof gentle, blushing reproach ; the other,whom he had not insulted, darted red-hot daggers at him from her eyes; and«o they parted.

It was, perhaps, fortunate for Dolig-nan that he had the grace to be a friendto Major Hoskyns of his regiment, aveteran laughed at by the youngsters,for the Major was too apt to look coldlyupon billiard-balls and cigars ; he hadseen cannon-balls and linstocks. Hehad also, to tell the truth, swallowed agood bit of the mess-room poker, whichmade it as impossible for Major Hos-kyns to descend to an ungentlemanlikework or action as to brush his owntrousers beneath the knee.

Oapt. Dolignan told this gentlemanhis story in gleeful accents, but Maj.Hoskyns heard him coldly, and as coldlyanswered that he had known a man tolose his life for the same thing.

"That is nothing," continued theMajor, " but, unfortunately, he deservedto lose it."

At this, blood mounted to the youngerman's temples; and his senior added, " Imean to say he was 35; you, I presume,are 2 1 ! "

"Twenty-five.""That is much the same thing; you

will be advised by me ? "" If you will advise me."" Speak to no one of this, and send

White the £3, that he may think youhave lost the bet."

" That is hard, when I won it.""Doit , for all that, sir."Let the disbelievers in human per-

fectibility know that this dragoon, capa-ble of a blush, did this virtuous action,albeit with violent reluctance ; and thiswas his first damper. A week after theevents he was at a ball. He was in thatstate of factitious discontent which be-longs to us amiable English. He waslooking in vain for a lady, equal in per-sonal attraction to the idea he hadformed of George Dolignan as a man,when suddenly there glided past him amost delightful vision! a lady whosebeauty and symmetry took him by theeyes—another look : " I t can't be! Yes,it is ! " Miss Haythorn (not that heknew her name)! but what an apotheo-sis !

The duck had become a peahen—radi-ant, dazzling, she looked twice as beau-tiful and almost twice as large as before.He lost sight of her. He found heragain. She was so lovely she made himill—and he, alone, must not dance withlier, speak to her. If he had been con-tent to begin her acquaintance the usualway it might have ended in kissing; itmust end in nothing. As she danced,sparks of beauty fell from her on allaround, but him—she did not see him;it was clear she never would see him—one gentleman was particularly assidu-ous; she smiled on his assiduity; he wasugly, but she smiled on him. Dolignanwas surprised at his success, his illtaste, his ugliness, his impertinence.Dolignan at last found himself injured;" who was this man ? and what right hadlie to go on so? He never kissed her, Isuppose," said Dolle. Dolignan couldnot prove it, but he felt that somehowthe rights of property were invaded. Hewent home and dreamed of Miss Hay-thorn, and hated all the ugly successful.He spent a fortnight trying to find outwho his beauty was—he never could en-counter her again. At last he heard ofher in this way: A lawyer's clerk paidhim a little visit and commenced a littleaction against him in the name of MissHaythorn, for insulting her in a railwaytrain.

The young gentleman was shocked;endeavored to soften the lawyer's clerk;that machine did not thoroughly com-prehend the meaning of the term. Thelady's name, however, was at last re-vealed by this untoward incident; fromher name to her address was but a shortstep, and the sumo day our crestfallenhero lay in wait at her door, and many asucceeding day, without effect. But onefine afternoon she issued forth quite

naturally, as if she did it every day, andwalked briskly on the parade. Dolignandid the same; met and passed her manytimes on the parade, and searched forpity in her eyes, but found neither looknor recognition, nor any other sentiment;for all this she walked and walked, tillall the other promenaders were tired andgone. Then her culprit summoned reso-lution, and, taking off his hat, with avoice for the first time tremulous, be-sought permission to address her. Shostopped, blushed, and neither acknowl-edged nor disowned his acquaintance.He blushed, stammered out how ashamedhe was, how he deserved to be punished,how he was punished, how little sheknew how unhappy he was, and con-cluded by begging her not to let all theworld know the disgrace of a man whowas already mortified enough by the lossof her acquaintance. She asked an ex-planation; he told her of the action thathad been commenced in her name; shegently shrugged her shoulders and said,"How stupid they are!" Emboldenedby this, he begged to know whether ornot a life of distant, unpretending devo-tion would, after a lapse of years, erasethe memory of his madness—his crime !

" She did not know !"" She must now bid him adieu, as she

had some preparations to make for aballin the Orescent, where everybody was tobe." They parted and Dolignan deter-mined to be at the ball where everybodywas to be. He was there, and, aftersome time, he obtained an introductionto Miss Haythorn, and he danced withher. Her manner was gracious. Withthe wonderful tact of her sex, she seemedto have commenced the acquaintancethat evening. That night, for the firsttime, Dolignan was in love. I will sparethe reader all a lover's arts, by which hesucceeded in dining where she dined, indancing where she danced, in overtakingher by accident when she rode. His de-votion followed her to church, where thedragoon was rewarded by learning thereis a world where they neither polk norsmoke—the two capital abominations ofthis one.

He made an acquaintance with heruncle, who liked him, and he saw, atlast, with joy, that her eye loved to dwellupon him, when she thought he did notobserve her. It was three months afterthe Box Tunnel that Oapt. Dolignancalled upon Oapt. Haythorn, E. N.,whom he had met twice in his life, andslightly propitiated by violently listen-ing to a cutting-out expedition; he called,and, in the usual way, asked permissionto pay his addresses to his daughter.The worthy Captain straightway begandoing quaiter-deck, when suddenly hewas summoned from the apartment by amysterious message. On his return heannounced, with a total change of voice,that " I t was all right, and the visitormight run alongside as soon as he chose."My reader has divined the truth; thisnautical commander, terrible to the foe,was in complete and happy subjugationto his daughter, our heroine.

As he was taking his leave, Dolignansaw his divinity glide into the drawing-room. He foilowed her, observed asweet consciousness deepen into con-fusion—she tried to laugh, and cried in-stead, and then she smiled again; whenhe kissed her hand at the door it was"George" and "Marian" instead of"Captain" this and " Miss " the other.

A reasonable time after this (for mytale is merciful and skips formalitiesand torturing delays), these two werevery happy; they were once more uponthe railroad, going to enjoy their honey-moon all by themselves. Marian Dolig-nan was dressed just as before—duck-like and delicious: all bright except herclothes; but George sat beside her thistime instead of opposite; and she drankhim in gently from her eyelashes.

"Marian," said George, "marriedpeople should tell each other all. Willyou ever forgive me if I own to you ;no—"

"Yes; yes!"" Weil, then, you remember the Box

Tunnel." (This was the first allnsionhe had ventured to it.) " I am ashamedto say I had £3 to £10 with White Iwould kiss one of you two ladies," andGeorge, pathetic externally, chuckledwithin.

" I know that, George; I overheardyou," was the demure reply.

"Oh! you overheard me! impos-sible."

" And did yon not hear me whisper tomy companion ? I made a bet withher."

"You made a bet! how singular!What was it?"

" Only a pair of gloves, George."" Yes, I know; but what about it?"" That if you did you should be my

husband, dearest."" Oh, but stay; then you could not

have been so very angry with me, love.Why, dearest, then you brought thataction against me ?"

Mrs. Dolignan looked down." I was afraid you were forgetting

me! George, you will never forgiveme?"

"Sweet angel, why, here is the BoxTunnel!"

Now, reader—fie ! no ! no such thing!you can't expect to be indulged in thisway every time we come to a dark place.Besides, it is not the thing. Consider,two sensible married people. No suchphenomenon, I assure, took place. Noscream in hopeless rivalry of the engine—this time!

Thurlow Weed on Lincoln, Clay andGreeley.

"Whom do you regard as the great-est men of your time?" "Well, thatwould be difficult to tell. All suchthings are comparative. I could namea great many men who liave served theircountry and. their time with eminentability. But a man's public usefulnessdepends largely on circumstances. Mr.Lincoln, for instance, had a great op-portunity, and he was equal to it. Ifcircumstances had not found him, if hehad not been the right man, at the righttime, in the right place, he would haveremained in obscurity all his life. I re-gard Henry Clay as foremost among themen laboring all their lives to elevatethemselves, and who labored always forthe object by promoting the welfare ofthe country and the interests of the peo-ple. Horace Greeley labored withequally pure motives, as I think, up tothe point where ho allow ed his ambitionto rule him. I knew him intimately foryears. A truer, more useful and moredevoted practical philosopher I neverknew. He labored with a single eyeand a single heart and both hands forthe good, till he thought he could bestill more useful in office. He was afrank, honest man, with nothing trickyabout him. The very moment he foundhis aspirations in conflict with those ofMr. Seward, he wrote that well-knownletter dissolving the political partner-ship which hud existed between us."—Interview with Thurlow Weed.

LABOR ABROAD.

Introduction of American Products—Dan-

ish, Italian and German Labor.

John Wilson, United States Consul atBrussels, in a dispatch to the Depart-ment of State, at Washington, givessome hints as to the methods of intro-ducing American manufactures into Eu-rope. He starts out with the assertionthat prejudice is a greater obstacle thantariffs or unregulated trade. It is notenough to send abroad circulars andprice-lists. Sample depots, with com-petent agents to make known the char-acter, uses and qualities of our inven-tions are what is needed. Patience andperseverance on the part of these agentsare also required in dealing with thepeople of Europe. With these, successis sure. Innovations, and especiallyAmerican innovations, are generally re-pugnant to Europeans, but this preju-dice has already yielded in a markeddegree. There is now no difficulty witharticles like flour, bacon, lard, petrole-um and breadstuff's. Petroleum metwith universal opposition at first, but isnow introduced into the homes of thebetter classes as well as among the poor.Indian corn has yet to overcome a preju-dice like that which, a few years ago,assailed petroleum. The peasant ofBelgium not only feeds himself, but hishorse, on coarse, black, rye bread. In-dian corn, substantially unknown tohim, would be cheaper and more nutri-tious. He needs to be taught this. Theimportation of this grain has largely in-creased in Belgium. All this applieswith nearly equal force to our cannedfruits, vegetables and meats. These areconstantly overcoming hostility andprejudice, and their use is increasing inmany places. Competent agents havesecured these ends. Similar educationis needed to introduce largely our per-fected stoves, ranges, carriages, etc.The COHEUI, therefore, urgently recom-mends that American manufacturers andproducers combine and establish agen-cies for the purpose of educating Eu-ropeans up to the use of our machinesand products.

The United States Consul at Copen-hagen, Mr. Henry B. Kyder, sends tothe Department of State a report of af-fairs in Denmark. As in other coun-tries, a general stagnation prevails. Ofthe currency of Denmark he says: "Thecirculation amounts to 64,000,000 crownsin paper money. The gold in the bankamounts to about 35,000,000. The Na-tional Bank of Copenhagen is the onlybank in the kingdom allowed to issuepaper money. The notes of the bankare redeemable in gold coin, which is thelegal tender, silver being used as a frac-tional currency, and a legal tender onlyto the amount of 30 crowns. The circu-lation of gold may be stated at 30,000,-000; of silver at 16,000,000; and of cop-per at 500,000. The coins of Denmark,Sweden and Norway are legal tender ineach country. Wages are from 10 to 15per cent, less than in 1872, while thecost of living is a trifle higher. Labor-ers earn from 8 to 10 crowns per month;mechanics from 2 to 3 crowns a day.The cost of living to a laborer is from 1to 2 crowns a day. There is a large sur-plus of labor and no employment for it."

Mr. Henry Noble, United States con-sular agent at Turin, Italy, in a dispatchto the Department of State, of recentdate, gives some statistics of labor inthat country, viz.: Daily wages of farmhands, nine months, 24 cents per day;three months (harvest time), 60 to 70cents per day, without maintenance.Women are paid about one-half of theserates. Youths, from 14 to 16 years old,are paid from $20 to $24 per annum,with board. Bailroads run by the na-tional Government pay their engineersfrom $30 to $42 per month; common la-borers from 50 to 60 cents per day; chiefconductors, $360 to $400 per annum;station-masters, $800 to $1,000. Pensionsare provided to employes after a certainnumber of years of faithful service, andto their widows in case of accident ordeath while on duty. Females whoguard the crossings receive 16 cents aday; ticket-sellers, 20 cents, their hoursof labor averaging four or five per day.The cost of living for laborers is about18 cents per day. During the past fiveyears both wages and the cost of livinghave advanced about 15 per cent. Tradeis deplorably dull. Exportation of man-ufactured goods has almost ceased, andmatters seem to be going from bad toworse.

In Italy there are six banks havingthe right to issue paper money withoutbeing compelled by law to have any re-serve in coin. The circulation of thesebanks amounts to 624,000,000 of francs,including Government notes and coin.The Government notes are good for alldues, are legal tender, except for dutieson imports, and are guaranteed by thebanks. For the guarantee the banks re-ceive a commission of 8 cents for each100 francs issued. The premium oncoin—mostly gold—ranges from 9 toll£ per cent. The wages of all classesare paid in paper money.

The Department of State has receivedfrom the United States Consul at Bre-men a very full report on labor andwages in his district. For agriculturallabor the pay varies greatly, accordingto the proximity to, or remoteness from,manufacturing centers, and ranges from56 cents a day in the neighborhood ofBremen to 31 cents a day in the lowerEhine valley, and as low as 18 cents inparts of Silesia. At Bremen, Orefeldand Dusseldorf carpenters, copper-smiths, plumbers, machinists and wag-onsmitbs earn from 51 to 75 cents dailysaddlers and shoemakers from 47 to 52cents daily; bakers and brewers, withboard and lodging, from $1.42 to $2.14weekly, and without board from 60 centsa day to $4.28 a week; farm hands arepaid from $107 to $215 yearly, withmaintenance; railway laborers from 56to 83 cents per day, and as high as 95cents daily for piece-work on tunnels ;silk-weavers can earn from $2.15 to $2.85a week per loom. Factory women, $2.15,and children $1 a week. Business andwages are very low. In good timeswages are 80 per cent, higher. The costof the necessaries of life has increasedsome 50 per cent, in thirteen years, al-though now it is but little higher thanfive years ago. A man and wife, withtwo or three children, can live in two orthree rooms in a poor and comfortlessmanner for $275 a year, and to supportsuch an establishment all the membershave to work ten or twelve hours daily.For a family of six persons the cost isabout $7 a week—an amount that fewfamilies can earn, as the depression oftrade and the reduction of time allowsfew to do a full week's work, althoughwages are nominally a trifle higher thanfive years ago. The state of trade is de-plorable. Factories are run and salesmade at a loss, except, perhaps, the silkand button industries. Retail trade issomewhat more prosperous.

ANOTHER important improvement inconnection with our Western lake com-

merce was completed on the Fourth ofJuly—the Sturgeon Bay ship canal,which, by a short cut, connects LakeMichigan with Green bay, Wis., savinga long dis^anoe of navigation.

THE NATIONAL BIRD.

A Change Imperatively Necessary,

The Hon. George W. Peck, in hisFourth of July oration at La Orosse,Wis., said:

It mtiy have been noticed that thus farI have made no allusion to the Americaneagle, tho national trade-mark, patentapplied for, but it is not that I do notappreciate the position that species ofpoultry occupies on these occasions.The poet, alluding to the eagle, says:

Bird of the broad and fleeting wing,Thy home is high in heaven.

This is too true. He is a high oldbird, and the committee that selectedthe eagle as a national emblem shouldhave been arrested for disorderly con-duct. O, great bird! You live on mice.You soar aloft on pinions airy, until yousee a poor little mouse with one legbroke, and then you swoop down like award constable, and run him in. Youare a nice old bird for a trade-mark fora nation of heroes, you old coward. Yousit on a rock and watch a peasant womanhanging out clothes, and when she goesin the house to turn the clothes-wringer,you, great bird, emblem of freedom, yourepresentative of the land of the freeand home of the brave, you swoop downon the plantation and crush your talonsin the quivering flesh of her little baby,take him to your home high in heaven,and pick his innocent little eyes out.You bald-headed old reprobate, youwould turn your tail and run at the at-tack of a bantam rooster. O, eagle, youlook well on dress parade, but you area unanimous coward, and youeatsnakes.You are a fraud, and you were countedin by a vote of 8 to 7.

The bird that should have been se-lected as the emblem of our country,the bird of patience, forbearance, per-severance, and the bird of terror whenaroused, is the mule. There is no birdthat combines more virtues to the squarefoot than the mule. With the mule em-blazoned on our banners, we should bea terror to the foe. We are a nation ofuncomplaining hard-workers. We meanto do the fair thing by everybody. Weplod along, doing as we would be doneby. So does the mule. We as a nationare slow to anger. So is the mule. Asa nation we occasionally stick our earsforward and fan flies off our forehead.So does the mule. We allow parties toget on and ride as long as they behavethemselves. So does the mule. Butwhen any nation sticks spurs into ourflanks and tickles our heels with a straw,we come down stiff-legged in front, ourears look to the beautiful beyond, ourvoice is cut loose, and is still for war,and our subsequent end plays the snaredrum on anything that gets in reach ofus, and strikes terror to the hearts of alltyrants. So does the mule. When thecountry gets older, and Congress hastime to get in its work, the eagle will besuperseded as the national trade-mark,and in its place will rise the mule in allhis glory, and E pluribus unum, ourmotto, will be changed to You pluribusrnulum, sic, distemper, alapaca.

Consumption—A. New Remedy Sug-gested.

Medical men have known for a longtime that the best remedies for consump-tion were plenty of pure air, sunshine,and exercise, and also food that con-tained much carbon. Cod-liver oil hasbeen a favorite remedy, and has donegood in prolonging the lives of con-sumptives, and putting off the approachof the grim monster. The virtues ofother remedies are in proportion to theamount of carbon they can infuse intothe system to feed the consuming flamethat wastes the body. The theory isthat the internal fever burns up the car-bon in the blood faster than the food eat-en can replace it. The disease thenpreys on the fatty substances of the body,and destroys the lungs, and eventuallylife. In short, there is not oil enoughin the lamp for the wick, and the latteris burnt and the light goes out. TheChicago Tribune prints an interestingletter from Dr. D'Unger, cf Minneapo-lis, Minn., on this subject, in which hemakes public a prescription which he de-clares has produced excellent effects, tohis personal knowledge. This is hisprescription :

One-half pound fiuely-cut-up beefsteak(freBh);

One drachm pulverized charcoal;Four ounces pulverized sugar ;Four ounces rye whisky;One pint boiling water.Mix all together, let it stand in a cool place

over night, and give from one to two teaspoon-fuls liquid and meat—before each meal.

I have used this preparation very frequently,and have never found it act otherwiae than ben-eficially. The dose should be email at first, un-til the stomach becomes used to it, and thengradually increased.

This remedy has, at least, the merit ofsimplicity. Any one can try it.

A Keal Mermaid.There is a real live mermaid in the

Westminster Aquarium, London, a spe-cimen of the manatee having been re-cently received from Demarara. Thisis the little animal that has given rise tothe prettiest legend of the sea. Theglass tank in which it is placed is en-tirely above the level of the floor, andthe water, which is fresh, as the animal,though marine, often swims far uprivers, is kept very clear. The depth ofwater given to the Aquarium specimeahardly allowed of its full display in themermaid position, as the tail ought to beable to get quite free from the bottomof the tank. One flipper slightly thrownup gives the traditional looking-glass,and the gentle paddling of the other,when seen in clear water, gives the handholding the comb. The harp introducedin some drawings, however, does notexist. A similar specimen was receiveda few years ago at the Zoological Gar-dens, but oould not be kept alive, andonly afforded a naturalist a fino oppor-tunity for dissection, and the subse-quent preparation of a scientific paper.

Persecution or Jews.The town of Kabich, in Russian Po-

land, has just been the scene of a mas-sacre of Jews. A mob of tho Christianpopulation, instigated by a lot oi menin debt to the Jews, who circulated thestory that the Jews performed unholyand horrible rites at their feast of thePassover, took possession of tho town,rifled the shops and dwellings of theJews, maltreated the women, killed eightor ten men who attempted to defend thehonor of their wives, beat and woundedscores of others, forced open the doorsof the two synagogues, destroyed thoark and the scrolls of tho law and firedthe building. This is not tho first timethat the Christians there have taken thismethod of paying their debts.

WONDERFUL SHOOTINU.

Dr. Carver, the Western Marksman, As-

tonishing the New Yorkers.

A New York paper gives the followingaccount of some extraordinary shootingby Dr. Carver, the California marks-man : A small wooden shed, with a barin one corner; in front of this a table,on which were four rifles, several boxesof cartridges, and half a dozen score-books. Fifteen or twenty feet in frontof this, again, a barrel and a man, theman taking tho glass balls out of thebarrel and throwing them in the air, andDr. Carver breaking them with the bul-lets as fast as they appeared. Somebodywas always at work loading a rifle. Th°,marksman could fire them faster thanthe loader could load. And they werethe most remarkable rifles—breech-loaders, of course. When they wereopened at the end one cartridge wasshoved in after another, till it seemedas if the first one must surely be some-where up by the muz2lo.

Dr. Carver's costume has nothing todo with his marksmanship, and hisshooting is simply business. He seldommisses what he fires at. Most of thetime was taken up in shooting glassballs, filled with feathers. The ballswere of the thinnest film x>i glass,slightly tinted, so as to be easily seen inthe air, and, when they broke, the feath-ers scattered in every direction. Theballs were thrown about twenty feetinto the air, and the marksman wasnot more than fifteen yards fromthem at any time. It was noticeablethat the shot was invariably fired just asthe upward impetus of the glass ballceased, and as it was about to begin itsfall. This close glass-ball shooting didnot give the idea of remarkable skill,probably on account of the short dis-tance, even though the average was ninehit out of every ten. It looked muchmore wonderful when the assistantthrew the glass balls as far as hecould, and Dr. Carver broke each one asit flew, the distance being not less than100 yards. Several coins ware shot,straight through the center, as theywhirled in the air.

One of the most astounding of Dr.Carver's feats was his hitting a bell-met-al ball when it was almost out of sight,up in the air. The ball is so made thatwhen the bullet strikes it, it rings like asmall gong. The assistant threw theball many times as high as he couldthrow it, till, sometimes, it could hardlybe seen, but every time the marksmanbrought the sound out of it. He alsocut into all the lead-pencils he could in-duce the spectators to throw into the air,and he fired successfully at a large num-ber of unused cartridges. When the as-sistant threw two glass balls tip at thesame time, the rifleman, with a double-barreled weapon, first broke one and thenthe other, without making a single fail-ure.

The two requisites for good shootingare, of course, an immovable rest for thegun-stock and a steady hand and armfor the barrel. The secret of Dr. Car-ver's wonderful marksmanship may bein his immense and perfectly-balancedbody, which stands firm as a rock. Witha steady hand also, such a man may doalmost incomprehensible things with agood rifle. His body seems able to with-stand any attacks of nervousness: yet,when he misses a shot, he is very likelyto miss tho two or three succeedingones, a sure sign that the miss flurrieshim. Another of his peculiarities is thatho aims with both eyes open—so that hecan keep an eye on the Indians, he says,while* he is firing at a buffalo.

The Flying Machine.About 50,000 people assembled on the

common to witness the first exhibition ofthe flying machine in open air. Theplan was to sail around the tops of thehouses and over the principal streets anddemonstrate to a wondering multitudethe possibilities of air navigation. Wheneverything was ready the machine waslet go, but instead of flying up graduallyand gracefully, as intended, it shot uplike an arrow to a distance of 2,000 feet.Every one came to the conclusion at oncethat it was unmanageable, and the pooraeronaut was the object of much symathyas he floated upward. He soon let offsome, of the gas, but did not descend.He went up higher, and higher, and itwas soon evident that he was as much atthe mercy of the currents as any bal-loonist. He sailed over Brookline, Bos-ton Highlands, and out through Norfolkcounty, and landed at the little town ofFaruham. Here he was an object ofwonder to the inhabitants, and after theyhad gazed on him he essayed to fly backto Boston, but on reaching Dover gaveit up, and, packing his machine on thetrain, he came home by rail. He ex-plains, his failure by paying that thegearing got out of order. The steeringapparatus would not work, and one ofthe rods was disarranged. He says hehad to tie it with a cord and strap hisfoot to the pedal.

The belief is that the machine is in-capable of navigating any except theair confined in a hall, and that any cur-rent will carry it away just as it does theold-style balloons.—Boston Cor. NeioYork Herald.

Oleomargarine.The microscope is summoned to the

defense of oleomargarine. Prof. Ar-nold, of the University Medical Collegein New York, testifies that he has madea careful examination, and finds " theoleomargarine butter to consist of ex-ceedingly clear and beautiful oil glob-ules, a sufficient proof of its purity,"while some ordinarily rancid butter" shows very nicely the granular andirregular oil-globule character of de-composing fat." Prof. Brewer, of YaleCollege, goes still further, and declaresthat, " So far as chemistry and commonsense suggests, I see no reason why itshould not be as wholesome and as nu-tritious as cream butter, and will so be-lieve unless its actual use demonstratesto the contrary." Yet we suspect that,in spite of the carelessness and filth ofmany dairies, it will be long before thepopular prejudice in favor of cow'sbutter will accept the purest and mostwholesome oleomargarine as its equal.

A Seaman's Remedy for Sea-Sickness.Mediterranean sailors have great faith

in the drinking of iron as a remedy forsea-sickuess, primitively obtained byscooping off the anchor-rust. At thesame time a small pouch, containingroasted salt and flowers of thyme, is tiedupon the region of the navel as firmlyas can be borne. This is said to lessenand gradually to subdue the antiper-istaltic motions of tho stomach causedby tho rolling of the vessel. This pre-paration was already known to the an-cient Greeks as "thymian salt."

SPRUCE butter-tubs are the best;white hemlock makes a sweet tub; acidsfrom the oak color the butter and injureits appearance; white ash gives the but-ter a strong flavor if kept long, and in-creases the liability to mold; maplesmells and cracks badly. Soak all tubsfour to six days in brine before using.—Franklin County Times.

THE washing of stems and largebranches of trees with a solution of car-bolic-acid soap dissolved in lukewarmwater, and a portion of the Hour of sul-phur mixed with it, is a good methodfor destroying the insects. The besttime to do the washing is after thospring opens. It will then stick to thetrees, and when the insects come out thepoison kills them in their iufant state ;and by that the foliage and fruits of thetrees may be saved.

ALTHOUGH an underground milk-housemay not seem damp, and may be wellventilated, yet the presence of an ad-joining ice-house will certainly give riseto moldiness, and this will affect themilk. To get rid of the trouble tem-porarily, close the milk-house tightly,and burn four ounces of sulphur in itupon some live coals. Keep it closedfor a few hours and then open and airit. To remove the trouble permanently,the ice-house must be got rid of.—American Agriculturist.

IT is one of the advantages of keepinggood stock that not only is more fleshgained for the quantity of food con-sumed, and a better quality of flesh pro-duced, but the waste in tho shape ofoffal is greatly reduced. The short-horn heifer Miriam, bred by Mr. J.Stratten, which was awarded first prizefor the best female at the butchers' showat Islington, England, last year,weighedalive 1,868 pounds. The dressedweight was 1,346 pounds, giving over 72pounds dressed to the 100 pounds liveweight. Perhaps there is no other ani-mal than a very good short-horn thatwould dress so well, and an instance sowell authenticated as this shows thevalue not only of the breed, but of goodfeeding as well.

LOSSES in farming are readily incurredby letting the crowded weeds eat up theplant-food while the crops are starving;letting the tools rust and rot for want ofproper shelter; keeping poor breeds ofstock that cost as much in care and foodas good ones, but yield less produce,lay on less fat and briug less moneyfrom the butcher; selling the best ani-mals instead of improving the stock bybreeding from them; selling coarsegrains instead of feeding them with hayand straw, thus increasing the nutritiveproperties of these and the fertilizers onthe farm ; neglecting a careful system ofrotation in crops, the advantages of whichall acknowledge, while many foolishlyomit its practice; cultivating cropswhich a little calculation would show areunprofitable, owing to the nature of thesoil, or the drain they make upon it, thecost of transportation to market or fromother local causes ; neglect of drainage,fences, repairs and other permanent im-provements ; inattention to barnyardmanure, liquid and solid, and to thecompost heap ; carelessness in keepingan exact account of receipts and ex-penses, and consequent ignorance of thecrops that pay best, and of many meansof retrenchment and economy; neglectto select, each fall, the best seeds fromharvest crop for planting the next one ;neglect to take and read a good agricultu-ral paper, so as to get posted on currentimprovements and discoveries, as well astokoep up with the times aud acquaintedwith the markets.— Rural New Yorker.

HENRY S. SMITH, the National-Green-back candidate for Governor, runningon and indorsing a platform which de-mands the abolition of the nationalbanks, is a stockholder in a nationalbank in the sum of $3,000, besides con-trolling $2,500 more of stock as trusteeof his daughters. Besides this, hesays of the banking business : "It islegitimate business; in fact it is a nec-essary business ; what would tho busi-ness men here do without aocommoda-tions at the banks V" The same MrSmith does n't take any stock in thedemand cf the various greenback plat-forms that the bonds of the Governmentmust be paid in a new issue of green-backs, but says, "I do think the Govern-ment must pay its bonds in gold ; any-thing short of that would be repudiation; it would make wretched work."And again this same Mr. Smith says :"The national banks are bad for theGovernment but good for the people."Mr. Smith is evidently mixod in hisfinancial ideas,—just like the averagegreenbacker.

THE ADVOCATF.S of absolute or "fiat"money — the greenback shorn of itspromise to pay—say that no provision forredemption or conversion into coin isnecessary, and that it will be redeemedevery time it passes from the hands ofone man into the hands of another.Suppose that Peter Cooper, finding him-self with an empty pocketbook and hisbank closed for the day, should borrow$5 or $25 of a confiding friend, givinghis note for the same payable on de-mand ; or should even, his friend know-his wealth and having the confidencein him that the oitizen does in the Gov-ernment, substitute for the prom-ise, "This is $'25. Peter Cooper." Wouldthe passage of such notu to a thirdperson, whose faith in its maker leadshim to accept, it be either payment orredemption, and relieve Mr. Cooperfrom any further obligation ? Willsome greenbacker tell us?

Detrtocraiife State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention

met at the Opera House, Lansing, June

10, at 12 o'clock noon, and was called

to order by Don M. Dickinson, chair-

man of the Stato Central Committee,

on whose nomination Hon. Foster Pratt,

of Kalama/.oo, was made temporary

chairman. In taking the chair Dr.

Pratt addressed the convention as fol-

lows:

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION.—I thankyou for the honor conferred by calling me topreside over your preliminary deliberations.

Before proceeding to the transaction of theimportant business you have met to J o , youwill expect me to outline the salient featuresof the political situation and the duties de-volved by it on us as a Democratic party.

hesides the debt and the financial disturb-ances, partly the necessary and partly the un-necessary consequences of our late civil war,that great strife, as managed by the party inpower became the occasion and was seized byits party leaders as their opportunity to grat-ify unholy ambitions and corrupt desires.

Thirteen years have now elapsed since theclose of that war. They have been marked,aye blasted, by a political and financial cor-ruption unparalleled in the history of ourgovernment. A recital of the details of thisdisgraceful history is not now needed.

It is enough to say of it that political cor-ruption culminated nearly two years ago inthe supreme, and unfortunately successful,effort by which the will of a great nation wasdefeated in its choice of a ruler, and uni-versal suffrage was made a mockery, if not adelusion. The plotters and agents in thisgreat crime, occupying the highest official po-sitions in our land, have sought to deter thepeople's representatives from the investiga-tion and exposure of their infamous politicalcrimes. They have sought, by the charge ofrevolution and of civil disturbance, whichthey claim would result from the invalida-tion of the Presidential title, to frighten usfrom an investigation and exposure of theiniquity which caused an illegitimate Presi-dent to be born in our land. These trem-bling leaders—trembling lest their politicaladultery lie tully exposed—seem to have beenoblivious of the fact that the political life ofthe bastard is sacred and safe, even thoughhis adulterous parents be punished for theirviolation of political decency and good mor-als.

But crime even in this world often bringsits own punishment, and it gratifies our senseof political justice to know that to the leadersin this scheme of political outrage their un-lawful President, like the money said byancient fable to reward a service to the Princeof Darkness, had turned in their hands todust and ashes.

No tears are provoked from honest eyes,by the knowledge that the "stalwarts" in thispolitical harshness have been repudiated anddriven out of existence into the political cold,by their illegitimate progeny.

Nor is this the only gratifying result. ThisPresident.thus born out of political wedlockhas been compelled by his very position toseek to propitiate the good will of decent peo-ple by doing decent things. His disreputablepolitical parents sought to maintain theirpower and gratify their lust for plunder byperpetuating disorder and misrule in South-urn States. Compelled, like all other rulerstainted by great political disgrace, to propiiiate the moral sense of a nation, ami to secure,by doing some unexpected good thing, somesmall degree of toleration for himself, thissurreptitious President has permitted thesevery Southern States to resume their rightsand to restore order to their distracted peo-ple. And thus, by the operations of thegreat law of nature, vice often acts to punishthe wicked and reacts to benefit the good.

But, gentlemen, it is not always thus ; if itwere there would be no need of politicalparties; the Democratic party would havenothing to do. Debt, an enormous debt—partly a legitimate consequence of the warand largely the unexampled work of extrav-agance and corruption of the party in power—is upon us to be dealt with by the peopleas a practical question. And one of ourmain purposes here to-day is to declare ourmode, and if possible the best mode of deal-ing with thts debt and its terrible conse-quences to the American people.

The Democratic party—the oldest of allour parties—longer in power than any otherpolitical party under our government, moresuccessful than any other party in shaping itsfinancial policy—this party, I say, has a history which, on such occasions, we do wellto study and to heed. One of its time-hon-ored maxims declares that that only can bemoney which lias an intrinsic value, equaland equivalent to the value of which (by itsseveral denominations) it is made the metisure. These properties are found more con-spicuously than in anything else in gold andsilver, which is the money of the ages,-andthe money of the world. Currency is a con-venience if rightly understood and used, butit is also a curse if it be elevated above itstrue nature and be made to serve other thanits proper functions. Currency is not money.All currrency is a promise to pay money, andit is dangerous to all people and to all inter-ests where its circulation and use rests onaught else than the fact that it may be convertible into money at the will of the holder.

From the history and experience of theDemocratic party we also derive an impor-tant lesson—a lesson we do well to heed inour present emergencies—and that is, thatthe political power of our government mustnot be permitted to control in any way or inany degree the issue of currency, except bygeneral laws, and in no case must it be al-lowed by direct action to expand or contractits volume.

A careful observance of these general prin-ciples and the details that naturally and logi-cally How therefrom will prove a blessing tothe people of this country; and their an-nouncement by us as a rule and guide forDemocrats is but a reaffirmation by us of apolicy always found to be safe, and one under

hich the country has always prospered.How, and how soon we can, under existingcircumstances, best return to the financialways of our political fathers is a question ofpolicy about which there may, and perhapsmust be, some difference of opinion, but suchdifferences can be easily harmonized, andwithout any sacrifice of principles or self-respect.

As we are about to commit anew our polit-ical ship to the waves of turmoil and of pas-sion, permit me to remind you that it is saferto sail in a strong ship, with sound planks,even on a stormy sea, than in a leaky crafton a smooth ocean.

The political horizon of the American peo-ple is not a pleasant one. Our sky is dark-ened by the clouds of extravagance and cor-ruption. Rings organized to plunder us ;corrupt officials in power to abuse their trusts ;political and moral demoralization ramifieseverywhere, and a people, in debt and bur-dened by taxation, much of it unjust and un-equal and unnecessary, groan beneath theirload and pray for relief. We feel these evilspersonally, and therefore we do and mustsympathies in these sufferings, and we will betolerant and patient with even the unwisethough honest efforts a suffering and desperatf people honestly make for their relief.

To show this effort may be wisely andeffectively made is your duty ; and it is alsoyour duty to select for us good, wise and pureleaders, who shall guide us once more intotlu1 quirt and pure and prosperous ways ofour fathers.

Gov. Fetch, chairman of tho Commit-tee on Resolutions, then t-ubmitU d thereport, which wus read by O. W. Pow-ers, of Kalamazoo, as follows:

The Democratic party of the State of Michi-gan, m convention assembled, renewing its fi-delity to its time-honored principles, standingfor a sacred preservation of the nation's faith,for the constitution and the laws, und tor thegreat truth that this is a government of thepeople where the will ot the people should rule,hereby declare :

1. That we arraign the Republican partyfor its corruption in office, its uuwise legisla-tion, and its wicked perversion of the people'swill us expressed at the polls.

It has squandered the public hinds, squan-dered the public funds, and corrupted thewhole body politic.

It has placed men in office dishonest anduncapab!e, who have used their positions asprivate perquisites.

It h»s legislated lor tho rich, oppressed thepoor, and created gigantic mon polies.

It fias burdened each town and city withdebt and taxation, and driven them to theverge of banruptcy.

It lias driven our commerce from the seasand destroyed our OUOJ powerful navy.

It completed its career of crime and dishon-or by stealing the .Presidency from the people,and placing a fraud iu the Presidential chair.

2. We indorse the investigation of the elec-toral frauds, to tho end that the truth of his-tory be vindicated aud a repetition of Buohcrime prevented.

3. We declare that gold and silver coin isthe money ot the constitution, aud that all papercurrency should be convertible into such coin attin' will of the holder.

We are opposed to the further forcible re-duction of the volume of the currency ; andwe approve the action of Congress prohibitingsuch reduction.

We declare that the prostrate conditions otthe business interests ot the country impera-tively demand that taxation, both State andnational, shad tie reduced to the lowest pointconsistent with the attainment of the objectsfor which such tuxes shall be levied, and thateconomy shall be practiced iu every departmeut of the government

We congrutu!a*e the country upon a reduc-tion of over titty million dollars iu tho nation-al expendituies duimg the last four \ears, undwhich result was secured by the DemocraticHouse of Representatives.

After brief discussion, and the rejec-tion of several proposed atuendrjents,the report of the committee was adoptedby a nearly unanimous voto.

The convention then proceeded to itswork of nominat ing candidates., Hen . Foriia B. Fitcb, of Ingham, tor

whom the Inghiim delegation was in-structed to vote for Governor, presentedfoi that office the name of Hon. O. M.Barnes, of Inghmn. The nominationwas supported in behalf of Wayne,Hillsdale, Washteuaw, and other dele-gations, whereupon Mr. Barnes wasnominated by acclamation and the nom-ination made unanimous.

The Chair, appointed E. B. Pond, ofWashtenaw, Edward Cox, of Calhoun,aud Hugh McCuvdy, of Shiawassee, acommittee to wait upon Mr. Barnes,advise him of his nomination, and in-vite him to appear before the conven-tion. In discharge of tha t du ty thecommittee soon returned accompaniedby Mr. Barnes, who after the heartycheers of greet ing subsided addressedthe convention substantially BR follows:

He thanked the convention very sincerelytor this murk of confidence and appreciation.The committee hid ndviseu mm oi the nomi-nation iiud oi the manner ot it. The mem-IH-IS ot the convention were aware tbat he luulnot tought this nomination, but hud uuiiortnlyuiivticatod the claims ol some ol the other^eutlt-mcn whose nuiucfi had been su^esteriHe, however, reeog&'Zwl the duty ol e\erypatriotic oitizen t" ob'-y, iu all proper Uiings,ttie voice of the representatives of the peoj,K',and in that sense fie accepted the uoaiiu&tionwhich ttie convention liad tendered him[Chews] This wtis not the place or time toapeak ot the political situation, but he wouldperhups tnke occasion hereafter to meet withthe people and express his views on publicaffuirs. This much he would not omit to say :For many years tfie political affain of thenation find been regulated by the Republicanparty. Under their administration affairs hadcome- to sucfi a pass that fie could only de-scribe it as one ot great distress. He held itto be tiie duty of every good citizen to en-deavor to re-establish the couutiy und to re-store its prosperity. Something in this direc-tion had been done by the House of Repre-sentatives, aud for this thauks were duo to theDemocratic members. Much, however, re-mains to be done, and in order to accomplishit it was necessary to throw aside all minordifferences aud unite for the achievement of sodesirable an end. He, for one, would cheer-fully do all that lay m his power, aud if elect-ed would endeavor to carry out the views andthe principles of tfie party to winch fie be-louged, and to perform the duties that mightdevolve upou him in such such a mauuer aswould result iu the highest good for all. [Loudcheers.]

— Yesterday morning the store of C, H.Milieu & Sou was closed, and the public soonlearned that the firm had made an assignmentto James B. Gott, and also that the resdience,store, and other real estate of C. H. Millen. allmore or less incumbered, had been assigned toJohn N. Gott. Later we learned that JohnN. Gott had taken possession of the goods instore on several chattel mortgages given to himto secure indorsements. We are not advisedas to the amount of either assets or liabilities.Mr. Millen became involved several years ago,and has been laboring earnestly and heroicallyto go through, but the fates and the times havebeen against him. The entire communityexpress nothing but generous sympathyfor Mr. Milieu individually and for the firm.Mr. Millen has long been one of our most pub-lic spirited citizens and popular business men,and the misfortunes of such a man are a lossto our city not easily repaired.

RANDOM NOTKS.— Pattison, of the Ypsilanti Commercial, is

a thoroughly consistent protectionist. Oppo-sing an additional appropriation for the cen-tral school building he says : " If, however,an appropriation of several thousand dollars isthought by the tax-payers wise and judicious,make it a condition that the job shall be solet as to compel the employment of Ypsilantilaborers. Let our workingmen, artisans andmechanics reap tho advantage." Just how hecan make a careful contractor bind himself toemploy home mechanics, etc., is more than wecau see, —unless such mechanics and laborerswill be willing to stipulate their wages in ad-vance, and as the basis, of bids.

— The Lansing Republican: " People insomo parts of the State are complaining thatcounterfeit bills are in circulation on the FirstNational Bank of Philadelphia." An honestmoney man might consistently find fault, butan irredeemable inflationist, a believer in" fiat money," made of tho cheapest materi-al, ought to think God and pray for more.Old Stephen Burroughs claimed the counter-feiter as a public benefactor, and E. P. Allis,Greenback candidate for Govoruor of Wiscon-sin in 1870, maintained substantially the samedoctrine.

— Eight years ago Charles M. Clark, a sa-loon keeper at White Pigeon, was tried, con-victed, and sentenced to prison for 14 years,on a charge of assault with intent to kill hiswife. Now his pardon is being petitioned for,and one of the conditions sought to be imposedis teat he " leave and keep out of the State."If Clark has not so reformed as to make himtit and worthy to reside in Michigan whyshould Gov Croswell inflict him upon a neigh-boring State ? That's the conundrum we aremoved to propound.

— Farm labor has been in great demandsince haying commenced, and harvest handshave been commanding from $2.00 to $3.00 aday. Yet the tramps go tramping on, beg-ging and stealing, sleeping in fence cornersand barns, but refusing to work. Our Bympa-thios go out fieely to the mechanic out ofwork and willing to take it at even the lowestprice, und to the honest and willing day-la-borer who fails to get steady employment, butto the chronic tramp never.

— Sundry Democrats in different sections ofthe State —editors, would-be editors, prospec-tive candidates, etc.—who commenced to cod-dle the rag baby in anticipation that the Dem-ocratic State Convention would turn the partyinto a wet nurse are disgusted at the result,and are sweating their brains in an attempt toforget their foolish wanderings. Better thatthan to have succeeded in setting up a Demo-cratic-greenback side-show.

— The Manchester Enterprise says : "Whenwe look over the statement of the People'sBank of Manchester, and find that the depos-its are now larger than at any period since theorganization of the bank, we are not led tobelieve that mouey is scarce." All throughthe country the bank statements tell the samestory, but what do the greenbackers care forsuch facts ? Theory is their " best holt."

The Ionia Standard having reportedJudge Cooley as saying of the Democraticticket, " It is the cleanest and best ticket inthe field," the Lansing Republican makes hasteto brand the statement as " Democratic LieNo. 1," and frantically calls upon the Repub-lican press of the State to aid in " nailing" it.Why such fear and trembling ?

— Hon. Edwin Willits was in our city onMonday : and now the disappointed aspirantsfor the postoflice probably know what movedhim to turn several cold shoulders in their di-rection and to recommend the reappoiutmentof Mr. Clark.

— According to the prediction of Prof. TiceTuesday, July 16, was (to be) the hottest dayof the century, but Wednesday's heat beat the" hottest day " by several degrees

— " I t is Henry Ward Beecher hot": thatis the measure one of the writers on the St.Louis Globe-Democrat applies to the weather.Expressive, very !

Expression of Appreciation.The officers and men of Huron Engine

Company, No. 3, hereby take occasion to ex-press their sincere and hearty thanks to theladies of the Decoration Society for the tastyand elegant manner in which they arrayed theengine and hose cart of the company ou thelate Fourth of July. If flowers can add beau-ty to every object which their presence adorns'and who can say they do not, then all mustconfess that the gallant little engine of theFifth ward was fairly resplendent with beautyon our " ever glorious Fourth." In fact thecompany could find no better way of testify-ing their appreciation of the services so grace-fully and opportunely rendered, than by ta-king the trace rope in their own hands andescm-ting the beautiful pageaut through theprincipal streets of their city, for certainly thepride which each individual member felt inthe display the company made lightened thelabor and made the company a guard of honorruther than a baud of tired and perspiringmen. All honor to the ladies, and may theyfeel confident that it was not for lack of ap-preciation and gratitude that this card ofthanks makes a somewhat tardy appearance.

How to Avoid Sun-Stroke.The New York Board of Health has issued

the following :Sun-stroke is caused by excessive heat, and

especially if the weather is "muggy." It ismore apt to occur on the second, third or fourthday of a heated term than on the first. Lossof sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping-rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants predisposeto it. It is more apt to attack those workingm the sun, and especially between the hoursof 11 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock inthe afternoon. On hot days wear thin cloth-ing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as possible.Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessary fatigue.If working in-doors, and where there is arti-ficial heat—laundries, etc.—see that the roomis well ventilated. If working in the sun,wear a light hat (not black, as it absorbs heat),straw, etc., and put inside of it a wet cloth ora large green leaf; frequently lift the hat fromthe head and see that the cloth is wet. Donot check perspiration, but drink what wateryou need to keep it up, as perspiration pre-vents the body from being overheated. Have,whenever possible, an additional shade, as athin umbrella, when walking, a canvass orboard cover when working in the sun. Whenmuch fatigued do not go to work, but be ex-cused from work, especially after 11 o'clock inthe morning on very hot days, if the work isin the sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizziness,headache or exhaustion occurs cease work im-mediately, lie down in a shady and cool place ;apply cold cloths to and pour cold water overhead and neck. If any one is overcome byheat send immediately for the nearest goodphysician. While waiting for the physiciangive the person cool drinks of water or coldblack tea or cold coffee, if able to swallow.If the skin is hot and dry, sponge with or pom-cold water over the body and limbs, and applyto the head pounded ice wrapped in a towelor other cloth. If there is no ice at hand,keep a cold cloth on the head, and pour coldwater on It as well as on the body. If theperson is pale, ver. faint and pulse feeble, lethim inhale ammonia for a few seconds, or givehim a teaspoonf ul of aromatic spirits of ammon-ia in two tablespooufuls of water with a littlesugar.

The Marvelous Intel l igence Displayed bythe Horses in Barnuin ' s Great Show.

Barnum's " Greatest Show on Earth " is steadilyattracting thousands of visitors everywhere, andwe learn from our exchanges that it well deservesthe immense patronage it receives. One of thegreat features of the show is the large number Ofhorses.

Independent of the trick ponies, the horses usedfor bareback riding and the grand cavalcade, theexhibition comprises a stud of twenty horses (sixblacks, four grays, three bays, and seven brown),whose beauty, symmetry, intelligence and docilitywould be next to impossible to duplicate in so manyhides. They are all under the charge of Prof. CarlAntony, of Hungary, a young gentleman of onlytwenty-five years of age, who has been c l lnected with horses from his seventh year, andbines all the qualities necessary to his calling.

He is young, handsome, exceedingly polite, anda thorough master of his profession. In the sad-dle he possesses a graceful, firm and centaur-likecarriage, and shows plainly the inheritance of theriding knack, his father being one of the besthorsemen and trainers of Europe, and at presentwith Myers, of Paris.

Monsieur Antonio, as he is most generally called,has, in an almost incredible space of time, taughthis beautiful animals to perform some most won-derful feats, though,—impossible as it may seem,—he has had them only about six months. Thesestallions were purchased in Europe at a very largeprice.

They are as pretty as pictures, show great breed-ing, and in their exercise seem to spurn the groundthey tread upon. They are all above the ordinarystandard of fifteen hands in height, their limbs areclean and supple, their necks and heads perfectlyoat»t, and their rich black coats shine with sufficientluster to reflect the thousands of admiring eyesthat gaze upon them.

The Russian stallions, four in number, are allgrays, and though larger and a trifle coarser thanthe blacks, are exceedingly beautiful and very in-telligent, their performances daily and nightlythrilling the vast audience with admiration anddelight.

Mameluse and Pasha, together with a brown, arefrom the royal stables of Hungary, and are marvelsof beauty, spirit, docility, and intelligence. Theyare the ones first introduced to the audience byMonsieur Antonio, who displays their capabilitiesin innumerable ways, eliciling well-merited ap-plause from the thousands present.

The horse formerly owned and ridden by VictorEmmanuel, the late King of Italy, is aiso includedin the stud. He is a bright bay, with a white snipin the nose, about fifteen and a half hands high,and strong and compactly built. A dapple-grayhorse, the only gelding in the lot, is very beautifulin appearance, child-like in docility, and jumpswith the agility of a gazelle. In the rather con-tracted arena are placed three hurdles about fourfeet high, and against them—broadside—are stoodtwo stallions. These the gray jumps with extraor-dinary agility and ease, as also an imitation fencewall about five feet high.

One of the gray stallions is ridden by M. Antonio,is made to kneel down, dance a waltz and a galop,and to go through numerous and intricate stepswith grace and precision. Taken altogether, theexhibition Is one of the most marvelous displaysof the powers of the human mind over the brutecreation that we have ever heard of, and will repaya visit.

Barnuin's Menagerie and Museum are more at-tractive and varied this year than ever, while hiscircus is said to surpass any in the world.

He will pitch his tents in Ann Arbor, Tuesday,July 23d.

Tickets and reserved seats may be purchased bythose who desire to avoid the throngs at thegrounds at Tremaine's Drug Store.

T H E residence of Gov. Van Zandt, ofKhodo Island, at Newport, was robbed a fewnights ago of jowelry valued at .*35,000.

NORWICH, Ct., is greatly excited overhat the local physicians pronounce an out-

deaths have occurred from the diseaso JohnJ. Burchell, an extensive New York builder,has failed for $1 500,000.

SECRETAHY SHERMAN went to NewYork last week, and had a conference with theSyndicate touching his preparations for the re-sumption of specie payments. Mr. Shermanxniil Unit the coin now in the treasury was am-ply sufticiont for purposes of resumption, andthat, he would make no further sales of bondsou this account. Thn members of the Syndicateexpressed themselves as being in accord withthese views, and pledged thomselvoB to assisthim in carrying out the Resumption act.

THE WEST,

MILWAUKEE was visited by a destruct-ive fire last week. The extensive tobacco man-ufactory of B. Leic'erRdorf <fc Co. was burnedinvolving a loss of $100,000.

G E N . HOWARD has met tbe hostile In-dians, or a portion of them, in battle, and, ifthe dispatches are to be relied on, inflicted adisastrous defeat upon the red-skinned raFcalsThe meager account of the affair telegraphedfrom San Francisco states that he found theIndians in forco on a height near thehead of Butte creek. Gen. Howardadvanced his forces, consisting of sevencompanies of cavalry, two of artillery,aud a few volunteers and scouts, in two col-umns. The Indians were strongly posted on arocky crest. The troops deployed and ad-vanced handsomely under a heavy tire. Theascent is described as steeper than that atMissionary Kidge, but not a man broke theranks, though several saddles were emptiedand many horses killed. The enemy -wasdriven from this position to another heightin the rear, of greater elevation, andcrowned with natural defenses of lavarocks. In twenty minutes this positionwas also stormed from different sides at once,and a rapid pursuit commenced of the flyingIndians, who abandoned horses, provisions,ammunition, and camp material. The hostilesmade for the thick timber crowning the Bluenidge, and made another stand, but were againdislodged and pursued four or five miles fur-ther in the mountains. The rough countryand great exhaystion of the men and horsescaused a cessation of the pursuit. In this en-gagement five enlisted men were wounded andabout tweutv horses killed. The loss of theenemy could not be ascertained.

OREGON dispatches report that theBannock Indians who wero thrashed by Gen.Howard have rocovered and are moving East-ward. B

ADVICES from Oregon are to the effectthat the worst of the Indian war is over. Thesavages hoped to obtain the assistance of theColumbia river bands, but were disappointedIt was while ihey were waiting for this rein-forcement that Howard struck and dispersedthem. Many of them are supposed to bo en-deavoring to return to their reservation. Thevshow no disposition to attack towns or clos'osettlements, and, in fact, throughout the raidhave avoided all fortified points or considerableparlies of armed men. Kemote ranches havesuffered heavily in loss of stock, and manyranchmen and herders have been butchered"No definite estimate has yet been made of tbenumber of tho killed, becauso many menknown to have been in the route of the sav-ages probably escaped.

THE Governor of Oregon has issueda proclamation calling for volunteors to fightthe hostile savages. The Governor saysthat all friendly Indians will go tothe hostilos whenever they find thevcan be successful against the whites • that allfnenalv Indians with few exceptions, are mid-night allies of the hostiles, and help them inremoving stolen stock and plunder ; and thatthen- promises and pledges of friendship can-not be relied upon. Dispatches from CrowGreek Indian Ageccy to the Chicago Tribunetell of the startling disclosures attending theopening of the safe of Livingston, the agent atthat pouit, who, when surprised bv a visit ofinspection from Gen. Hammond iu March last,locked up the safe and refused to reveal thecombination. The arrival of Indian Commis-sioner Hayt, and tho opening of the safe underhis direction, have revealed a system of fraudand plunder fully equaling all that had beenreported m connection with ihe administrationof affairs at many of the Sioux agencies.

A.—Tbcsotables phow a majority for Governor of 401,while two Republican electors (Xovisrtee nnd Jo-seph) were in tho minority. Tho Tildenelectors had a majority, I believe, on tbe faceof tho return of the votes cast in thodifferent parishes originally, and so

did Nicholls E. L. Weber was recalledand questioned by Mr. Cox in regard to theSherman letter. Witness said ho found it in abox sent from his brother at Bayou Sara to hisfather-in-law's warehouse in Donaldsonville.He fouud the letter after Mrs. Jenks ' vigil ;tore it up a t once because it exposed my broth-er's wrong-doing. My brother told me therewero no grounds for protesting tho parish.Witness admitted ho had been indictod, for-feited his bond, and afterwards, at tho sugges-tion of the District Attorney, mado a false affi-davit in order to have the bond restored.In answer to tho question relating to his in-dictment, witness, turning to Mr. Cox. raid ex-citedly : " You Republicans could use my broth-er who is dead; to-day you could use us ontho stand to swear to any kind of a lie that youwanted in order to support and sustaiu you; to-day that yon can't us? mo as your too1, youpropose to ruin me." Gov. Cox disclaimedany Mich notion as that imputed to him by wit-uesH. and said he wanted to give witness ail op-portuuity to vindicate himself.

Ik-Gov. KEI/LOGO was again beforethe Potter committee on tho 12th inst. Refer-ring to the MacVeagh Commission, the witnessheard, last fall, that the Sherman letter ha(]been found among D. A. Weber's papers, ancthat Mrs. Jcnks had procured possession of iithrough her intimacy with the Weber family.Mrs. Jenks had called upon him in New Orleansand spoken of the Sherman letter. While ex-amining tho contents of the document, Mrs.Jenks sat on a sofa nnd pretended to be read-ing him the substance of tho letter from a pa-per which she held in her hand. The witnesscontradicted many of the statements of JameiE. Anderson, whom ho regarded as utterly un-reliable. He denied that false protests ancaffidavits relating to intimidation wero usecbefore the Returning Board as a pretext foithrowing out Democratic majorities. He pro-duced letters from the Weber brothers certify-iug to the intimidation that prevailed in theFeliciana parishes. Kollogg explained thaithe $20,000 borrowed in Chicago was for hisprivate use, and was not employed in connec-tion with the electoral count.

CONTRARY to general expectation, theanniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was un-productive of bloodshed in the city of Mon-treal The Orangemen went to their hall andthe Catholics gathered outside, the latter invast numbers, backed by the Mayor's 500 spe-cial police, When the appointed hour camefor the procession the Orangemen did not likethe appearance of things on the street, and re-mained iusido. Six of the leading Orangemenrc re arrested upon special warrants, the trial

of whom will test whether the Orange body isa legal society.

Tea Potter committee occupied itselfon the 13th with ex-Senator Kellogg, andcompleted his examination. Nothing of ma-terial .mportance was elicited. Gen. Butlerendeavored to elicit from the witness a state-ment as to whether or not all tbe visitingstatesmen, commissioners, and others con-nected with the election in Louisiana had beenrewarded with oflices.

Mr. Hiscock objected to such testimonyupon the ground that its only object wasto throw ridicule upon the Presi-dent. Butler disclaimed any intentionto cast ridicule. He said it was hard to gildtho lily or paint the rose. Some porsons wereso ridiculous that nothing he could do couldadd to it.

History of the Order Irom Its Inceptiun.

The Orange Society differs from nearlyall other secret associations in this, thatit has no literature which can be distinc-tively called its own. Its history hasyet to be written. The state papers inEngland and in Canada contain muchvnluabie information concerning the or-der, and the part it has played since itsorganization. The annual reports of thevarious grand and subordinate lodgesaro filled with statistical intelligencethat, in the hands of a judicious com-piler, could be used to advantage ingiving to the world the history of a bodywhose shibboleth is an event which hap-pened nearly 190 years ago—the battleof the Boyne.

William III. arrived at Torbay, Dev-onshire, England, Nov. 5, 1688. Hisflagship bore the arms of Nassau quar-tered with those of England, and on thebanner was inscribed, "The Protestantreligion and the liberties of Englandwill maintain." His am* al was receivetwith great joy by those who professeothe Episcopal faith, and even the dis-senters were not averse to his coming.An Exeter, on the 21st of the samemonth, was formed the first Orange or-ganization. The declaration of principies vas drawn up by Bishop Burnei,whose histories of the reformation anc" His Own Time" are to be found in al-most every private and public library.The signers pledged themselves to de-fend and support William, Prince oOrange, in upholding the Protestant religion. Tkis combination was called"The Orango Confederation."

After the Battle of the Boyne, whichwas fought July 12, 1690, and the snb-f,cquei»t surrender of Limeri;k—.TamesII. having in the meantime fled toFrance—the Irish Protestants in theNorth formed societies to perpetuate theremembrance of the Prince of Orange,who had doue so much for them. InDublin was organized a society, knownas the "Aldermen of Skinner's Alley,"purely a local affair, being confined tothe Protestant freemen and freeholdersof the city. Londonderry followed nextwith the " 'Prentice Boys," and shortlyafterwards Enniskiilen turned up withthe "Boyne Society." The last men-tioned had auxiliary brandies. It wasextended throughout the country as ameans of self-protection against an al-leged guerrilla party, known as " TheRapparees," who were charged with mid-night assassinations, burning of build-ings, and destruction of property. The" Kapparees" were the unconqueredfew who would not acknowledge Englishsupremacy.

During the years intervening between1740 and 1750 a vast number of associa-tions similiar to the "Boyne" wereformed in various parts of England.Nine years later there were frequent up-risings in Ireland, particularly in thesouthern counties. The insurgents weredressed in white sheets—whence thename "White Boys"—and armed withguns, pikes, and pistols, and they madeit very warm for English settlers andthose who sympathized with them. InTipperary the natives were organizedagainst the Sassenachs, as the Saxonsand foreigners were termed, and borethe names of "Levelers," "WhiteBoys," nnd " Rapparoes." The "Heartsof Oak" appeared in Ulster in 1763.They were put down temporarily by theauthorities, and reappeared as "Heartsof Steel." In Munster another guerrillaparty was known as the " Right Eoys,"and in the North another body borethe name of " Defenders." In 1701 wasorganized the society of "United Irish-men," with headquarters in Dublin. Bythe Protestants it was pronounced atreasonable institution, and an intendedmuster and parade on Dec. 9, 1791, wasfrustrated only by royal proclamation.But to go back for a moment. The"Defender" and the "Peep of Day"organizations got fairly under way in1784. The former were exclusively Ro-manists, and the latter Presbyterians ofdecidedly republican proclivities, whowere anxious to sever all connection withEngland and establish a democratic formof government.

All these native Irish movements ofcourse gave an impetus to the BoyneSociety that it would not otherwise haveachieved. Noblemen »nd proprietors oflanded estates lent their influence to,and openly encouraged its extension.George I I . openly supported it, andpronounced it the great mainstay of thechurch and English connection in Ire-land.

Commencing in 1776, the Protestantsin the South of Ireland began the for-mation of' the Boyne societies, andshortly afterwards thej were armed andpaid by the Government. The countiesof Cork, Clare, Galway, Kerry, Limer-ick, and Waterford were overrun with"White Boys" and "Peep of Day-ers,"and so numerous were the depredationsthat the people wero afraid to sleep. TheBoyne societies wero called by differentnames—"True Blues," "Blazers,""Williamites," "Britons," and " In -vincibies."

In the fall of 1795, an incursion wasmade against the Protestants settled inTeiitaraghan, County Armagh, and theywere obliged to flee to the hills, where adesultory warfare was kept up for threeor four days. At its conclusion a depu-tation of priests called upon the localmagistrates and gave assurances of theirdesire to restore quiet and tranquillity.The magistrates had sent for military aid,but, relying on the representations madeby the priests, withdrew the request forhelp. After some further consultation itwas agreed to bury the hatchet, each partyentering into bonds to keep tho peace.

This agreement, like pie-crust, wasdesigned to bo. broken. Throe dayslater, Sept. 21,1795, an attack was madeon an English Protestant settlement,known as the "Diamond," a small vil-lage near the lino betwi en the countiesof Armagh and Tyrone The "WhiteBoys " suffered an inglorious defeat.

From the evening of the Battle of theDiamond, as it is eillcd, dates the exist-ence of the first Orange lodge, and itsmembership was restricted to communi-cants of the Church of England.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of1820 the British Parliament passed anact prohibiting the existence of any po-litical organization. This was a seriousblow to Orangeism. The Duke of Yorkhad been elected Grand Master of theGrand Lodge, of England, and tho un-friendly press made good use of theiropportunity. A Parliamentary investi-gation was ordered, which establishedhe fact that a royal relation had refused

to join tho order until it ha<! purged it-8 "If of some cmtliK and obligations whichworo regarded as an infraction of thelaw. The Duke of York resigned in1821, and there was a vacaucy in theoffice of Grand Cluster until 1827, when

the Duke of Cumberland wns elected.Then began a revival in tho order.

For nearly half a century Orangeismhas been one of the institutions of Can-ada.

The Oraugo Society is increasing instrength every day. There are now[,660 lodges, of which about 1,250 are inOntario or Upper Canada, in active op-srntion, with a united membership ofnearly 200,000. As the population of;ue Dominion is not over 4,000,000, there.8 one for about each twenty inhabitants,including women and children.

BRITAIN'S TRIUMPH.The Lion Swallows the Turkey.

The Chicago Times, commenting uponBeaconslield's great diplomatic victoryin the Berlin congress, says: Confi-dently as those who have duly studiedAnglo-Saxon growth and character mayhave believed that in tho outcome of theRusso-Turkish conflict Great Britainwould suffer no loss of national prestigeor advantage, nevertheless it may betruly said that the British triumph whichconcludes tho long and fierce contro-versy is amazing.

The caricature picture-makers mightgraphically represent this latest conteston the " Eastern question" under thesimilitude of the Russian bear fightingthe Moslem turkey at enormous cost oflife and treasure, while at a distance theBritish lion quietly watches tho furiouscombat. For a time victory inclines tothe side of tho feebler combatant, andthe lion manifests a lazy and indiffer-ent sort of satisfaction. But the tide oibattle suddenly turns. The bear seizesthe turkey and is proceedidg to dirnem-ber it. The lion wakes up and beginsto roar vehemently. The bear growlssavagely. The animals show their teethand make ready for combat. In the situ-ations presented by the succeeding diplo-matic maneuvers, the artist will find thesubjects for a series of graphic illustra-tions, showing the bear rampant, thelion "isolated," with his teeth out anchis tail gone, etc., concluding withcongress of national quadrupeds, inwhich the lion appears with the turkoyinside of him, magnanimously tenderingto the bear a small fragment of one o:the tail-featheis.

At a cost of $1,000,000,000 Russia hasplayed the glorious part of the monkeythat drew from the coals the finest lot ochestnuts Great Britain has ever gained

What Russia has gained is defeat, humi.iation, and a loss of prestige. Threcarving of Turkey in Europe advantages Austria without cost, but not Russia. The acquisition of a narrow slice oBessarabia is of no practical value, political or military, while the newcompacbetween Turkoy and Britain brings th<lion and the bear face to face in Asiaand puts a terminus to the iidvance othe latter in that direction.

In effect that compact makes GreaBritain henceforth the predominatingpower in Asia. In effect, if not in termsit is the erection of a British protectorate over Asia Minor, carrying British influence and control from the Dardanelleto Persia. In the probable reality of thefuture, it is the extension of British India westward and northward through thevalley of the Euphrates to the Mediterranean and to Constantinople. Alreadyan English navigation company occupiethe Euphrates and monopolizes the commerce of that great Oriental highwayAlready the project of an English railway from the Euphrates to the Mediterrancan is announced, and the construetion of another line, hitherto proposedconnecting the eastern extremities of theMediterranean and the Black seas, inow virtually assured. The process oAnglicising Asia Minor, politically awell as commercially, is begun.

Moreover, the astorishing outcome othe Berlin congress has given again anemphatic answer to the question whethethe Almighty made the Mediterraneansea for an English lake. At any rate,tbe Almighty did not make the Mediterranean for English use, events provithat He has had very poor success incarrying forth the purpose of its creation. For more than a century Englanihas commanded it at the middle and onend. And now England commands inthe middle and at both ends. The cession of tho island of Cyprus to the British renders their control of the Mediterranean, in its whole length and breadthcomplete and absolute.

The possession of Cyprus is to England hardly less important than that oGibraltar. Within a few hours' sail tPort Said, and to Adriatic ports on theeast and north, it is admirably situate-by nature for a great military and navarendezvous from which can be commanded the whole Asiatic peninsula anall the routes, both land and water, kIndia. It is tho real key to the Orientand as such will unquestionably be heliand used bj the British power.

In fine, tho outcome of the Berlincongress is the greatest triumph foBritain that this century has witnessedIt is not surprising that in Russia greaindignation should be manifested on account of an outcome which is for Rnssi:worse than her defeat by the Turkislarms would have been. Nor is it surprising that even the English nationshould be amazed at this unexpectedsuccess of the most audacious programme of national aggrandizement aanother nation's cost which an EnglislPremier has ever undertaken.

What Becomes of Wealth.A boot and shoe dealer has hanginj

in his store a pair of boots worth S7They constitute a part of his wealthand a portion of the wealth of the worldA man buys them and begins to weathem; by friction against the pavemenlittle particles of the leather are rubbecoff, and thus separated from the rest othe sole. Every particle that is tburemoved takes out a portion of the valu<of the boots, and when the boots are entirely worn out the $7 of wealth whiclthey formed is consumed. The wheatcorn, etc., which was raised by oufarmers last summer is being eaten upNo particle of matter is destroyed b;this process, but the value which wain tho grain is destroyed.

As, while men are wearing out clothing and eating up food, tht-y are generally busily employed producing wealthof some kind, tho wealth of the world inot usually diminished by tho consumption, but it is changed. This applies, however, only to personal proporty; town lots and farms generally retain their value, but personal propert;is subject to perpetual destruction ancrenewal. As the several particles owater which constitute a river are forever rolling away to the ocean, whiltheir places are being supplied from th<springs and fountains, so the movablwealth of the world is constantly beingconsumed to gratify human wants, ancconstantly being renewed by the rest-less activity of human industry.

London Thieves.A fashionr.bly-dressed man went into

ETTEK i'ROJt HON. T. ¥. 15 VYARI).he Delaware Senator on Free Election I,Electoral Frauds, John Sherman, Etc.* * * Tho political cecurrenceB of the

ast two years, as they arc being daily broughtx> light from their recesses of dishonest con-ealmeut, should teach the people of the Uniteditatcs tho evcr-recurriDg need of stampingpith the sovurcst condemnation everything that

ds to weaken and impair tho great priuciplo)f free and fair elections.

Tho distinguishing feature—the very safe-y-valve in our plan of Government—is thoi;ran* providod, in the process of free elec-ions, for tho people to correct their errors andetrievo their political mistakes, whether by re-oking misplaced trusts and punishing thosevhj have deceived them, or changing the driftif political measures that have proved hurtful,

so that, taught by experience, they may pre-vent the repetition of tho disaster. The greatssue of the immediate future is, in my judg-

ment, the reassertnn of this idea, and the eot-mn and resoluto determination by our coun-rymen that elections shall be free, shall be the

actual expression of the opinions and wishes ofhe citizens, and that they shall be honestly

and fully acquiesced in by the defeated party.See to what consequences a different course

and theory have led tho party called Republi-can at the last Presidential election, and hoivlose upon tho rocks the ship of state wasIriven, until, thanks to the patriotic andmasterly self-control which animated the Dem-ocratic party, she was rescued and renderedcapable of carrying her precious freight ofliuman happiness and hopes upon now and,let us trust, successful voyages. Tho under-lying idea of our institutions—free choice bythe poople, and honest and honorable accopt-anco of the popular verdict as final by all par-ties—has been wholly disregarded and con-temned by the Republican leaders ; and, touse the language of one of the most conspicu-ous and influential among thim—Hon. JohnSherman, the present Secretary of the Treas-ury—in a late letter to the Ohio Republicanconference, "The only threat that endangerstho public weal and safety in the restoration ofthe Democratic party to power. . . . Icannot but regard its restoration to power asthe only danger that really threatens our pub-lic peace and safety."

Mr. Sherman is called a Republican, and hasoften hold, and now holds, an office which iscoupled with an oath to support the writtencharter of his country's Government; yet hedoeB not hesitate, in his partisan zeal, to makethis open, defiant proclamation that every-thing is to be subordinated to the one idea ofpreventing a political organization embracingin its membership a largo majority of his fellow-citizens, from again obtaining under lawthe control of ihe administration of the con-stitutional powers of their Government, whichfor seventy years of unbroken honor and pros-perity it had exercised.

The light already thrown by Congressionalinvestigation upon the action of Mr. Shermanand his visiting associates in Louisiaua in thefall of 1876—the means and methods then re-sorted to, and of which they so freely availedthemselves to accomplish the one great end ofdepriving their political opponents and theAmerican people of tbo just fruits of a labori-ous and earnest effort by the lawful methods ofpopular election to obtain reform in adminis-tration and relief from local misrule so vilethat it was spreading like poison from the un-happy communities, where he and his party hadestablished and kept it throughout all tho ar-teries of our federal system—may now bo bet-ter comprehended, as they clearly appear inhe characters and careers of tho Andersons,

the Wellses, tho Kelloggs, and the Jenkses,that motley and ribald group of political mis-creants, male and female, in whose hands Mr.Sherman and his party had placed the wires oflow and profligate political management whichhas converted popular elections into what wouldseem a horrible farce, wero it not so tilled withtragical consequences.

The American people havo a sure romedy forovery political evil in the periodical recourse toa free ballot. Leave that right unimpairedand they will retrieve their errors and correottheir mistakes and follies; but, if deprived ofit, they will be roducedto the single alternativeof perpetual and degrading submission to ad-mitted wrong, or a resort to forcible resistanceto rid themselves of oppression.

Mr. Sherman and his allies would close thedoor of relief through the orderly and lawfulchange of rules and policies by the honest andhonorablo acceptance of the results of popularelections, and his brother, the General of thearmies, i* reported latoly to have made thegratuitous but pregnant avowal, at the NationalMilitary Academy, that tho army of the UnitedStates, uuder his command, would unhesitat-ingly be employed to Bustain the tenuro of aPresident, without regard to the right or jus-tice under law of his title to tho oftice.

The Fourth of July, 1878, and every day be-tween that and the election day in 1880, aretho fit aud proper days for the American peo-ple to consider what answer should be givenat the polls to such propositions—for the calmand deliberate contemplation of such ideas, soas to shape their issues iu the simple integrityand manly spirit of 177G. Let them proclaimas their resolves:

1. That they will havo free elections in all theStates, undisinrbed and unawtd by Federalinterference, civil or military.

2. The verdict of the people rendered at thepolls shall be faithfully recorded, and shall beaccepted and obeyed.

3. That the men or the party who shall standin tho way of these resolves shall bo witheredby the wrath of an earnest and honost people,«:ho love civil liberty a«insnrined iu Republicaninntitutionp, and intend to preserve it for them-selves and their posterity.

The issue is not less vital than this, and un-til it thall havo been settled definitely in ac-cordance with those resolves, and so unmistak-ably that no man sha 1 venture to question orgainsay them, all other questions, howeverinteresting, may wisely bo postponed.

It is now the great essential in support ofwhich not only every Democrat but all just-minded and conservative citizonsof everypartymust rally; and when it has teen secured thenwe may afford to differ and array ourselves atwill upon questions of political economy, whoseimportance I fully recognize, but which paleinto insignificance before tite pressing audprimary questions, Shall our elections be free,and shall their results be acquiesced in andobeyed by all f Respectfully yours,

the question of intimidation, and he(Potter) does not think it germane ornecessary. The allusion to Weber's tes-timony is a little rough in view of thefacts. Weber wi s summoned at Sher-man's instance as his witness. On hisarrival Sherman and Shellabarger inter-viewed him, and undertook to "coach"him. Finding that Weber didn't

1 coach" worth a cent, and wasn't likelyto give the kind of testimony wanted,they dropped him and told him he mightgo homo, but some of the committeethought ho might as well testify as longas he was here; so he stayed. It is|asingular fact that every witness so farhas been a Republican.

" Mcxicanization."" I thank thee for teaching me that

word," said Shakspearc's Gratia no tothe Hebrew. The Republican cry of" Mexicanization" is ended, but theRepublican disposition toward Mexican-ization is not. The Republican partystands to-day committed to a policy ofMexicanizition, as it has been the partyof Mexicanizition for more than a de-cade of peace. What is Mexicanization?Is it not the placing the army above thelaw ? Is it not the rule of tho sword,even in time of peace ? Is it not the con-trol of force and not the sway of law ? Isit not placing the musket over the ballot?Is it not making Government bayo-nets, superior bayonets, the title tooffice ? Is it not making the authority ofthe legislative power dependent uponthe number of uniformed men behindit ? All these things we have seen inthat sunny but unhappy land of revolu-tions called the Mexican republic. Allthese things we have also seen in thesunny half of our own republic undertho Republican regime. Men who hadbeen elected Governors have been bayo-neted out of office to make room for menwho hadn't. Legislatures the peoplehud chosen have been forced by Federalmuskets to abandon the legislative hallsto which the people chose them, to per-mit Government guns to make laws forfree States. All this in time of peace.This is Mexic.uiization.

On assuming the Presidency Mr.Hayes withdrew the rule of the Federalarmy from the States where it held sway.Eacli Republican convention that hasmet since that time has confronted tnequestion, whether or not it approvedsuch withdrawal. Not a Republicanconvention has indorsed that conduct.Last year it may have been too soon toexpect a party to approve a policy it hadso pertinaciously fought, but timeshould have so far soothed the hatredsthat in 1878 a Republican State conven-tion might be found to approve acourse so eminently ju»t, constitutionaland peaceful; but not one is found.Some States, like Pennsylvania andMichigan, condemn that policy, knownas the Southern policy, most severelyby silence touching it. That is em-phatically indorsing Mexicanization.

The Republican party is bitterly op-posed to a policy that " brought peaceand harmony" to the South, a policy"constitutional and pacific." Let thevoters choose between such a policy andMexicanization.—Cincinnati' Enquirer.

Slippery Sherman.We print below the concluding por-

tion of Congressman Potter's last letterto John Sherman:

AB to the testimony of intimidation in theparishes of Ea>t and West Feliciana proposed,in neither of these parishes did the electionofficers make any protests with the roturns,and, an received by the Returning Board, thereturns of tho election of 187G in those parishesstood absolutely without objection. AfterwardAnderson, as Supervisor nf East, and Weberas Supervisor of West Fcliciaua, undertook tofurnish protests upon which the Return-ing B>aul might rejeot the voteof these parishes. It is claimed they did thiswithout cause, solely for political purposes, andbecause of political promises, and it is in oyi-denca tliat they havethemsclvesr mfofsed this.It is also claimed that tho fact that there wasnot ft Republican vote cast in certain sectionswhich had theretofore been largely Republicanwas the result of a conspiracy to withhold thoRepublican vote there in order to afford a pre-tfenro for c'aimi:'g lhat result as obtained byIntimidation, and thereby furnish ground forthe rejection of thoso parishes.

Tbe committeo have not considered that theevidence you propose (and which has beentaken by former committees) of certain allegedmurders, whippings, and raidings not knownto Weber or Anderson, not connected with tboalleged conspiracy, and upon which noitherthey nor the parties engaged iu the conspiracyacted, could have a bearing upon these ques-tions, nor upon the action of the ReturningBoard on their protests, and they therefore de-cided not to taUo the same. Where, in thecourse of the examination, the witnesses (T.H. Jenks, Pitkin, and Weber) havo referrodto intimidation in theBe parUheF, ithas been incidentally, or an bearingupon tbo conspiracy. Should it later appearthat tho specific actt to which you refer haveany bearing upon the conspiracy, or upon thegood faith of Weber or Anderson, or of theReturning Board in respect of thoir protests,tho comn ttee will then consider the practica-bility of taking testimony, and that in contra-diction of it, or of permitting you to use in-stead tbe repi'rtsof such testimony taken be-fore the former committees. Respectfully,your obedient servant,

Kegro Superstition.The power of superstition upon South-

ern negroes is fully illustrated in theconfession of a Tboma ton (Ga.) coloredmurderer, Dick Dawson, who was hungon the 5th of July. He and his brother-in-law, Frank Cunningham, were hard-working farmers of Upson county, andthe best of friends until Dawson culti-vated an unlawful love for Cunning-ham's wife. She determined to put herunsuspecting husband out of the way,and, as Dawson was loath to take hislife, she urged him on with the accusa-tion that Cunningham hael hired an oldnegro, who lived in the woods near byand was credited by all the darkies ofthe vicinity with possessing an evil eye,to bewitch him. This was tho reason,as his mistress told Dawson, why hisgarden did not do well; why the fish didnot bite his hooks; why it was eliscov-ereel that it was he who stole a goosefrom a neighbor's roost. Dawson was,of course, disturbed by the artful con-struction which Mrs. Cunningham placedupon every untoward incielent, and wasfinally placed in terror of his life by herstatement that at her husband's direc-tion she had pulled nine hairs out of thomole of his head. She said that hewould wind these around a rusty nailthat the wizard had given him, and withone blow daily for nine days drive thenail into a tree; on the ninth day shepersuaeled Dawson that he would die anawful death. Dawson at once set him-self at work to break the enchantmentbefore the nine days should expire. Helured Cunningham to his house with apromise to give him half a pig he shouldkill that evening, and then shot him,brained him with a hoe, and then hidhis body where it was found by accident.Dawson was arrested and sentenced tobe hung, on circumstantial evieleuce, andrecently confessed his guilt, implicatingMrs. Cunningham. The woman hasbeen arrested while working in the fieldsiu another cnunty, and will be put ontrial for her life at the next term of court.

A PARIS MEKAUERIE.A Cage Full of Worm JCresh Irom the Jun-

gle— Their Itemarkable UUtory as Told inParis.

[Paris Cor. Boston Advertiser.]An exhibition which will be of un-

usual interest is already near comple-tion. In a vacant lot situated betweenthe Hippodrome and the Champs deMars, a menagerie—such as has neverbeen seen in Europe—in to be open dur-ing the next three months. It will, un-doubtedly, be curious and interesting,but 1 doubt if the capture of any one ofits animals has such a history as thelions about to appear at Porte SaintMartin Theater. I am indebted to M.d'Ennery, one of the authors of the"Tour du Monde," for tho followingparticulars: These superb animalshave never formed part of any menag-erie, and have retained all their terriblesavagenesg. I t is a hunter, and not atrniuer, who accompanies them. Ma-como, a large, powerful negro of Cen-tral Africa, made himself master ofthese superb animals in the followingmanner : He had been informed of thenightly presence of a lion in his neigh-borhood. He lost no time in arminghimself with a long cutlass, and, drag-ging a young ox after him, arrived utthe appointed place. At tho usualhour his majesty appeared. The moonwas at its full, and the strange trio sawone another as in broad day. The liongave utterance to a deep, significantgrowl, looked from the man to theox, and flourished his great tiil.Macomo remained perfectly quiet foran instant, then, suddenly plunging hiscutlass into the ox, he raised him in hisvigorous arms and threw him at thelion's feet. The wild beast made abound, sprang upon the bleeding body,caressing it for a moment as a cat does amouse, and then, giving expression tostifled growls of joy, he drank the |blood and crushed the bones. AndMacomo, what was he doing all thistime ? Seated quietly a few steps fromhis guest, he opened a little sack fromwhich he took a bit of corn bread anddry figs, and began his own frugal re-past. When his hunger began to besatisfied, the lion raised his head andlooked at the man. Their eyes met.Those of the lion were filled with sur-prise. Those of the man were calm andsmiling. The lion returned to his sup-per. When he was completely satisfiedhe rose ; Macomo did likewise. Thelion made three or four steps towardMacomo, who remained motionless, and,looking once more at his ox, which wasbut partially devoured, his eyes seemedto say, " This belongs tome." Maeomobowed. A last glance, friendly thistime, and the lion quietly went his way,leaving Macomo to return to his home.On the following evening, at the samehour, the African .returned to the placeof meeting, where the half-devouredcarcass stili lay, and, shortly afterward,the lion made his appearance, but riotalone this time. As the hunter hadforeseen, he came accompanied by fam-ily and friends. They were four innumber, two lions, a iioness and lion'swhelp. The repast was served, but notas on the previous evening, in the openair. Macomo had built an arbor cov-ered with vines, banana and palmleaves, and into this pretty dining-roomhis guests entered fearltssly. Thencrawling noiselessly within reach of a nid-den spring, Macomo touched it and hisfour lions suddenly found themselves im-prisoned in a strong iron cage, whose barshad been hidden beneath green leaves.Friends were near at hand to aid in re-moving the four lions upon a cart, audthey were about to commence their work•when they perceived a new lioness,crouched down upon the sand and lick-ing her whelp between the iron bars.When the men raised the cage upon thecart, she looked at them beseechingly,aud when they all marched on she fol-lowed at a short distance, with droopinghead and tearful eyes; and thus it is thatwe have five lions instead of four at theTheater Porte Saint Martin, five terrible,ferocious beasts, ready to revolt at anymoment; and, although Macomo enterstheir cage and dominates them to a cer-tain extent, they have not forgiven himfor having taken advantage of their con-fidence in him, and would ask nothingbetter than to treat him as Lucas wastreated by his seven lions in the lastdays of the old Hippodrome—simplytear him to pieces.

Sherman ou the (.riddle.Secretary Sherman, says a Washing-

ton dispatch, is very much disturbed atthe way the Louisiana end of the inw f1-gation is going. The testimOnyldoeSn'tappear to suit him. He expresses dis-satisfaction with the way his cafe is be-ing managed, and has requested Shella-barger to go elowu to New Orleans andtnke charge of his defense. ChairmanPotter has forwarded to Sher-man a reply to tho latter's re-quest that several hundred wit-nesses, whom he names, may bo sum-moned to prove that there was intimida-tion and fraud in Louisiana. Potter re-min.ls Sherman that the principal wit-nesses whom he asks for have alreadybeen summoned, including Weber,whoso testimony has bee-a take'D, andthat every other request of the Sec-retary has been granted, but the com-mittee have not yet decided to go into

Death of Dr. James C. Ayer.Dr. James O. Ayer, the well-known

patent-medicine proprietor, has elied atr^inehendon, Mass. For the past twoyears he had been in extremely poorhealth, and for some part of that periodhis mental condition was such that hehad to be confined in an asylum for theinsane. Dr. Ayer was uneloubtedly thewealthiest maker of patent medicines inthis country. Ho had been engaged inthe manufacture of pills anel sirups formany years, and his name is knownthrough his medicines all over the world.In the later years of his life, before hisminel became unbalanced, he was de-sirous to become known to the public asa statesman, and not alone as a maker ofpills. Having great financial interestsin Lowell, Mass, where he resided, andin its surrounding towns, he succeedeel,in October, 187-1, through agents, whilelie was in Europe, in procuring the Re-publican nomination for Congress intho Seventh Massachusetts district, Agreat deal of opposition to him was madeon account of his cold manners, and hewas defeatetl by the Democratic candi-date, Mr. Tarbox. A few days subse-quent to the election the superabundantill-feeling toward him in the town ofAyer—which is nnmeel after him—foundexpression in the public burning of hiseffigy. It seems likely that broodingover his defeateel hope of acquiring po-litical position, anil over tho indignitiesoast upon him by the men he expectedto rally to his support, caused his mindto become unhinged, Iu June, 1876, hebecame so violent that he was conveyedto a private asylum in New Jersey, wherehe remained for some months.—New

York paper.

The Coming Harvest.The agricultural reports from all quar-

ters are almost eluplicates of each other—magnificent weather, abundant yieldwhere the harvest has already been gar-nered, excelle'nt prospects for the cropyet growing. In Illinois the winterwheat harvest is about over; the grain isof splendiel quality and the yield isgreat. Many of tne farmers are sellingtheir new wheat at 75 to 85 cents. Thereseems to be no expectation that the pricewill advance. The corn-fields look splen-didly, and tho farmers are now anxious tosell their remaining stock of last year'scorn. The railroads are already begin-ning to be embarrassed for want of suf-ficient cars to move the crop. The cot-ton crop is still reported to be vory for-ward ; some estimates place the probableyield at 5,000,000 bales, but it isaltogether too soon to make any calcula-tions with safety.—Exchange.

Portuguese Courtship.The young men of Portugal have one

occupation more important than wearingtight boots, and which almost, in fact,goes with it—that of making the verymildest form of love known among men.The young gentlemen pay their ad-dresses by simply standing in front ofthe house occupied by the object oftheir affections, while the young personin question looks down approvinglyfrom an upper window, and there thematter ends. They are not withinspeaking distance, and have to contentthemselves with expressive glances anddumb show, for it would be thoughthighly unbecoming for the young ladyto allow a billet-doux to flutter downinto the street, while the laws of gravi-tation stantl in the way of the upwardflight of such a document, nnweighted,at least, with a stone, and this, of course,might rhk giving the young lady ablack eye, or breaking her father's win-dow panes. So the lovers there remain,often for hours, foeling no doubt veryhappy, but looking unutterably foolish.These silent courtships sometimes con-tinue for very long periods before thelover can ask the fatal question or thalady return the final answer.
