BY K. U . ANUIEK.

"You ««», Dr. BragR," observed Capt. Todd, "! want a reg'lar clipper-built boss. 1 don't want atiflness and breadth of beam BO much as I want a good,clean run. F w n n t a boss to show off with, ye see."

"Well, sir," said the doctor, pattiiiR on the neck a vicious-looking aniinul which he held by the bridle, "if you want a smart hone, 1 can't recommund a better antmal than this. Jus t look at those heels. Hi ! don't go near'em. As I told yon, I 've three horses that 1 want to sell; but, if you want a horse that will go, this mare is Just the beast for you."

"You see," caid the captain conilden-tlally, "1 don't know much alwut bosses. I 'm a seafaring man. Follow-ed the sea man an' boy, nigh thirty-Hve years. Now I 'm going to settle down on shore, an' I 'm looking around for a wife. 1 don't mind telling you that I 'm sorter countin' t he Widow Bunn. Now, the widow is mighty-fond of a good fast boss, an' there's an-other feller, Sam perhaps you know him—that's siihiln round the widow too. Sam's got .t iirst-rate horse and takes the widow to ride a good deal. Now if I don't got something belter than Sam's got I won't stand any show, for the wlddw will be sure to ride with the man that 's got the fastest horse, don't you see."

The doctor nodded afflrmatiTSly. "I see," he said, " I ses. Well. I think the mare will suit you. She's a knowing beast. J u s t see how her ears are laid back listening. If you find herget t lng lazy, just touch her up with the whip, and she'll climb, I can tell you."

""Well," said the captain, "If she's all you say she is, bring her around to-night, and turn her into my pasture, and to-mof*©w 11! hitch her up In ray new buggy, and give her a trial."

The next afternoon C a p t Todd ran his bright new wagon out «f the barn, and throwing a halter over h :8 arm summoned Bill Tyke and proomled to the pasture, where the doctor bad left the mare the previous evening. Bill Tyke was the captain's right hand man. l ie had sailed with the captain all his life, and now that the former had re-tired from active duty, Bill bad retir-ed wi thb im, and undertaken to learn the art of farming. In appearance he was much like what the iraraortal Bunsby might have been, and he was not much the inferior of that worthy In taciturnity or oracuiur wisdom.

The captain and his factotum cir-cumnavigated the pasture and "bore down" upon the mare persuasively f rom the windward. But the intelll-gent animal saw them coming and flattened her ears. The captain was almost within reach when she threw up her bead, changed ends and cantered away to the fa r ther end of the field. The captain swore a round oatli and divided his forces. Bill Tyke was sent to coast cautiously around the fence while the captain lay "off and on" In the ofllng. But It was that game the mare understood best. She trotted leisurely around the pistmre, keeping tantalizlngly ont of reach and resisting all theblandishmei. ts offered her In the shape of wheedling words and ears of com.

The captain and Bill Tyke both fell to swearing, and followed the beast around for an hour. At last, with con-suramate generalship, they succeeded in cornering her, and as she tried to rush between them both sprang at her mane.

The captain was sucoceasful and hung on like grim death, but Bill Tyke failed to secure a satisfactory grip, and was kicked head over heels into a blackberry bush, whence he emerged torn, bleeding, and swearing worse then ever. As for the captain he was dragged a hundred yards before he managed to "board" the beast, but at last he found himself on her bark, tear-ing across the pasture and bounding a foot in the air a t every jump. The mare made straight for the bars, went over them, and finally came to a halt in the captain's dooryard. The ciii>-taln slipped off In an exausted con dition, and drove his new purchase in to the bam.

The operation of harnessing was one rrqulring i l l the se«manahi|i of both the captain and Bill Tyke to success-hilly performed. The usee of various straps, bucklM, and "belavlng .plus" were the subj ixt of several animated discirnsloDsbBforethelhamees was final ly adjusted. When all was complete, Bill Tyke c r u l n d round the wagon sereral times, and otserved that the "darned thing was all right, any-how."

"Thou," said the caplain, "Jest put that old boat anchor into the buggy with about three fathoms of s tout line, an' TOU get In behind. Darn ye," he ooutlnned, addressing the mare, "If ve plajr a trisk like that again, I'll

B1U inarched off to the tool house and returned, carrying an iron keelock and a coil of inch manil la rope. To one end of this line he fastened the an chor. The other, by the captain's direction, he tied by a double hitch to the rear axle of the wagon.

"Now," said the captain, " jump In Bill. I H make the old vixen hum when we get the widow in."

To the captain's great delight the widow was a t home, and surveved his new turnout wi th admiration. The haraess^he thought, looked somewhat

peculiar, bu t she didn't know much ubuiit such things. Of course she would go to ride. Dow kind of the captain 1 What a beautifnl horse!

She was not long In getting ready, for expedition at sucb times was one of the widow's many virtues. The captain heliH.il her In, and the mare trotted placidly off, while Bill Tyke sat behind, with his legs banging over the "stern" of the wagon.

It was a deleghtful drive. The mare's head was turned away f rom home, and she behaved herself much better than the captain had expected. The sun was setting as they turned about to go home, and as the evening shadows began to fall the captain l)e-gan to grow tender. Gradually his arm slipped about the widow's waist. Promptly she removed it.

"Capt. Todd," she exclaimed, "you must not, I cannot allow iu"

She glanced backward at Bill Tyke, who still sat, dangling his heels over the tailboard, in blisM'ui unconscious-ness.

"Oh, don't mind him," said the cap-tain. "He don't sea nothing."

" I t isn't that," said the widow, blush-ing, "but—I suppose I ought to tell you —in fact I don't know .that I ought to have come to tide with you at all - bo-cause—la'cause—"

"'Cause what?" asked the captain. "Because I am engaged to be mar-

ried." "Engaged I" roared the captain. "Blast

my top-lights 1 Who to?" "To Mr. Samuel Bliss." "Heavens and earth!" yelled the cap-

tain, giving the mare a savage cut with the whip; but he had no opportunity to add more, for the mare made a bolt as though about to jump out of her skin, and tore alo.ig the road like mad.

The widow shrieked, and grasped the captain by the arm.

"Oh don't, don't!" she cried. "Let her rip!" exclaimed the captain,

more forcibly than politely. "I want to get hum. Engaged to Sam Bliss! Good Lord!"

The captain gave the mare another slash with the whip, and Bill Tyke rose up on his knees and held on for dear life. I t was getting dark rapidly. Ths road was full of detp holes, and the side of the road was bordered with clumps of bushes and large rocks, over some of which the carriage bounced like a rubber ball. The mare had it all her own way now, for she had the bit lietween her teeth, and was on a dead run.

"Hold her up, Cap'n; hold her up," exclaimed Bill Tyke, in evident alarm. "Port your helium an' lay to."

"Hold your grandmother," replied the captain, savagely. " I can' t hold her any more than I could hold a threo-masted schooner in a hurrycane."

The widow relieved herself of a series ot piercing screaras and threw her arms around the captain's neck.

"1 shall be killed!" she cried. "Oh, captain, dear captain! For heaven's sake stop the horse and let me get o u t "

C a p t Todd ptve a quick jerk to the reins. The bridle gave way, and both he and the widow went over backward in the bottom of the wagon. The mare increased her speal . If that was possible, and the occupants of the vehicle devoted all their attention to keeping on board the craft , .which touched the ground apparently about once In fifty f ee t

The captain surmised that the mare would make straight for Dr. Bragg's corn crib, and if the wagon hold to-gether long enough they might hope to come to a halt there, though as for stopping right side up, it was scarcely to be hoped for. The mare was evi-dently not that kind of a horse.

"We're almost to the longhill," shout-ed Bill Tyke.

The road thus far had been s t ra ight ; but a t the foot of the long hill was the lane that led to the doctor's bam, and the captain surmised that a t their present rate of speed the entire party would get out about the time the mare turned the corner. The captain extri-cated himself from the widow's petti-coats and threw his arms around the wagon s e a t

All hands on deck!" shouted the captain.

Ay, ay, sir," responded Bill Tyke. Let go the anchor." screamed the

captain. Bill Tyke raised thu keelock in his

arms and flung it overboard. I t bound-ed along the road f rom side to side for a few yards, and then caught under a litrge rock among the bushes. The mare d:'.shed headlong onward; the stout rope straightened in a second; there was a crash like the report of a cannon; the mare fell forward on her knees, tearing up the ground as she went ; while the widow, the captain and Bill Tyke shot up Into the air about six feet and alighted in a semi-unconscious condition amid the wreck and debris of what had been the wagon.

I t was the end of Capt. Todd's court-ship. The wagon was an indisting-uishable mass of kindling-wood; the mare had broken both fore legs and required to be shot, and the widow kept her bed for three weeks after-wurd. The captain aKain follows the sea. for, as he often remarks, to his first mate :

The sea. Bill, Is our proper spear. We know more about sailln' vessels than we do about drlvin' horses."

"Speak for yourself, cap'n," Bill al-ways replies. "At my end o f t h e wagaa I did my dooty."

A gentleman In Scotland sends the following; "Among other fishes which came to our baits, my daughters caught upon their long lice a skate weighing one hundred and tb i r t . wo pounds. Inside the skate was a • od-iish weighing fourteen pounds, and in-side the codflsh a plaice weighing about one pound. As there was a hook in-side the plaice, no doubt the flat fish took the bail lirst, and was af terward swallowed by the cod, who in turn was swallowed by the skate.''

Youthful Vaqueros.

A gentleman who lives on the Stanis-laus river, close te Its junction with the San Joaquin, told a i f a t t reporter this rooming what he never would have believed had he not known his informant to be entirely trustworthy. He said tha t near his place are a boy and girl, the former about twelve and the other fourteen years of a je , who frequently jump into the saddle In the morning anil ride all day among droves of wild catt le which would surely gore them to death should they become un-seated, Both carry lariats, and if they see a calf In the drove that has escaped being marked they run on to I t the boy throwing his rope and catching i t by the head and the girl by the f ee t after which the ears and brisket are du-ly cut.

But this is nut all. On the ranch Is a large bottom of undergrowth. In which roam hundreds of wild hogs. Of these the boars are perfectly ferocious, and will fight when pressed the least bit. The children, mounted on their well-trained horses and carrying in their hands the lasso which they so skillfully handle,dash headlong after these hogs over all sorts of ground, up and down steep banks, catching one out of nearly every drove they scare up. Last summer they caught over thirty in this manner. When the lasso is th rown on the head and feet of the hog and he is stretched out so that he can do no harm, the boy gets down Irom bis horse and ties the hog's feet with pieces of rope carried along for the purpose. His horse stands as firm-ly without as with a rider, being tmined to that work and never having done any other. A wagon is sent for the hog, w hich is placed in s strong pen and soon tamed so that he can b« fatted for marke t A few days ago the boy was riding In the undergrowth, when he started up a deer. Putting spurs to his hone he got near enough to the deer to throw his lasso on to his horse, bu t he did not have t ims tofas-the other end of the lasso to his saddle before the fleet-footed animal was off with rope and all. These children have been riding constantly ever since they were big enough to sit on a horse.— Stockton Mail.

Rocolleot ions of Gen. Cass.

While on the subject of anecdotes of great men, allow mu to relate one of Gen. Cass. Af ter the defeat of the Quintuple Treaty through the Inter-vention of the American minister a t Paris, Lord Brougham denounced Gen. Cass by name In the English parlia-m e n t because be defeated a secret treaty which would have given the British government the right to search American vessels on the high seas. H e branded Gen. Cass as the "very impefsonatlon of raob hostility to England; as one who, having been sent to maintain peace, and to reside at Paris for that purpose, after pacific re-lations had been established between France ami America did his best to break I t whether by circulation of statements upon the question of Inter-national law of which he (Gen. Cass) had no more conception than of the languages spoken in the moon, or by any arguments of reason, for which he had no more capacity than he had for understanding legal points and differ-ences." "For that purpose he was not above pandering to the worst mob of the United States," and the mob feel-ing he characterized as composed of "a lawless set of ntbble politicians of Inferior caste and station"—as "a grov-elling groundling set of politicians '— a "set of mere rabble, as contradistin-guished from persons of property or respectability and of information," etc. Ft was because of such attack that threats of mobbing Gen. Cass were made if he dared visi t England. He did visit England, and was not mobbed.

On his return to France, in crossing the channel between Dover and Calais, he remarked to a passenger that the English might brag as much as they pleased about their steamships, but they were not equal to ours, "For whom do you take me?" said the stranger. "For an American," was the reply. "I am an American, it is true, by birth, but I have cut the country, and wish to be considered an English-man," said the passenger. "Indeed," said Gen. Cass, viewing the person with contempt; "America has lost much by your cut of the country!"— They parted. Neither knew the name of the other. Some weeks after. Gen. Cass, in the dusk of the evening, was In his ofllce, when a visitor was an-nounced. He recognized him as his late fellow-passenger on the steamship. Af ter giving his name, the fellow said there was to be a presentation a t Court to the King, and he wished to get a ticket of introduction.—The General replied that very few tickets were given to each legation, and those given to him he must reserve for his fellow-countrymen." " Y o u had better," he added, "apply to t h e British minister.' "But 1 am an American," said the visi tor, "and this is the reason I apply to

'It is true," said Gen. Cass,

whelmed by some great sorrow, some secret grief w hich he cannot confide to others, but must carry hidden In his own bosom, while he walks up and down the earth till death comes to his roWot.—Mllumukn Sun.

The "Sa lva t ion A r m y . "

Among the immigrants who airived by the steamship Australia from Lon-don yesterday were eight persons—one man and seven women—dressed ii. a peculiar uniform, with led bands around their hats and an Inscription in gilt letters. "The "Salvation Army." They carried two silk flags. Their coats (loose patrol cloaks) were trim-med with red cloth, and on the collar was the letter "S," In gold for the cap-tain and in led for the lieutenanl. Their names and title were; G. S. Hailton, Commissioner for America; and Sis-te r s Captain Westhrook, and Lieuten-ants Coleman, Evans, Morris, Pearson. Shaw and Price. They attracted much attention by their singing, prayes and religious services while In Castle (Jar-den.

Commissioner Itailton said to a Trib-une reixirter: "We come here for the purpose of extending the work of the 'Salvation Array,' and will make our headquarters i n ' N e w York. The o r gani/ation is an army of men and wo-men mostly belonging to thu working classes, and many who have been brouglit to Christ by its instrumentali-ty from lives of Immorality and ruf-llanlsm, and who ore now glad to spend all their leisure time in making known their salvation to others. The Rev. William Booth, formerly a Methodist Minister, was led to establish the mis-sion by noticing immense multitudes iu London that went to no place of worship, and for whose convertion no special efforts were made. He took a stand alone In the open air, in the East end of London in July, 1805, and on September 80,1871*, had enlisted corps under the commands of 11)5 ofll cers. These were using for services weekly, 148 theatres, music-halls, warehouses and other buildings, and were holding open air services at the rate of 45,000 annually, and indoor services at the rate of 00,000. There were 257 persons employed as oflicen, ministers, missionaries, colporteurs and Bible women, and 3,250 others ready to do service a t any time. Our work is not sectarian, since we seek those who have no religion; and our service is that of early Methodists, so far as doc-trine and principles are concerned; but our form of service is what might be called here an 'experience meeting.' We have no regular preachers, but simply teach the converts to speak from their own experience, which has the l)estef feet on th« class of people we hope to reach.

A few days later, Mr. Webster heard his State and himself mercilessly at-tacked by General Hayne, of South Carolina, no mean antagonist. The son of a revolutionary hero who had lailen a victim to British cruelty, high-ly educated, with a slender, graceful form, fascinating deportment, and a well-trained, roellilluous voice, the haughty South Carolinian entered the lists of the political tournament like Saladin to oppose the Yankee Ccur de Lion.

\\ lien Mr. Webster went to the sen-ate chamber to reply to General Hayne, on Tuesday, January 20,1880, he fell himself master of the si lualiou. Al-ways caietul about his personal ap-pearance when he was to address an audience, he wore on that day the whig uniform, which had been copied by the revolutionary heroes,—a hlua coat with bright buttons, a buff waist-coat, and a high white c r a v a t Neither was he insensible to the benefits to be derived from publicity, and he had sent a request to Mr. Gales to report what he was to say himself, rather than to send one of his stenographers. The most graphic account of Hie scene in t lie senate-chamber dur ing the deliv-ery of the speech was suueequeutly written virtually from Mr. Webster's dictation. Perhaps, like Mr. Healey's dicture, it is rather high-colored.

Sheridan, a f t e r his lot ty days' prep-aration, did not comroeuce his scath nig impeachment of Waireu Hastings wiiu more confidence than was dis-played by Mr. Webster when he stood up, iu the pride of his manhood, and began to address the Interested mass ol talent, inielligence, and beauty a-round him. A mau of commauaing presence, with a well knit, sturuy name , swarthy features, a broau, thoughtful forehead, courageous e>es gleaming from beneath shaggy eye-brows, a quadrangular breadth of jaw-bone. ana a mouth which bespoke strong will, he stood like a sturdy UounUhead sentinel on guard before the gates of the constitution. Hold-ing in profound contempt what is t e m e d spread eagle oratory, his only gesticulations were up and p o r n mo-tions ol his arms, as u he was beating out witli sledge-hammers his fotcibie ideas. His peroration was sublime, aud every loyal American heart has aiuce echoed his last words, "Liberty and union—now and forever—one and inscpurabie\' —April Atlantic.

Surge ry on a Lion.

A curious occurrence has lately taken place a t the London Zoological Gardens. One night one of the lions was observed to be In a state of great tribulation, rolling about, and trying to get something out of his mouth with his paws. Upon examining the animal to see what was t he matter, Mr. Bart-lett found that a great bone had l)e-come fixed In the poor brute's mouth. The difliculty was to remove it, as the Hon was In a fearful temper. This was done by getting the lion into a "shift ing den, where his face would not be very far f rom the bars. I t was then ascertained that the object in the lion's mouth was the simngy, round bone, as big as a cricket ball, which forms the hi|>-joint of the horse. The lion bad had part of a haunch of horse for dinner, and amusing himself with the bone, lirst got his upper large ca-nine tooth into the soft part of the bone, aud biting on i t the correspond-ing canine tooth in the lower jaw came through so far into the bone that It almost met with the point of the up-per tooth; the jaw thus became fixed. The animal was prevented from taking food or water. Mr. Bartlett, with a great deal of tact and manoeuvreing, managed to get this bone out of the lion's mouth, and lucky he did so, as it was found that the projecting part of the bone was pressing hard against the lion's tongue. This is the third clever operation in dentistry that Mr. Bartlett has performed—fiist removing a big tooth f rom Uie hip|>o|Kitamu3; second, o|)erating on the base of the tusk of the big elephant; third, taking a horse's leg bone out of the lion's m o u t h . — a w l Watt/.

Cornor ing a Corn Doctor .

The meanest man lives in Fond du Lac, and hm name is Captain Mangan. A few days ago a pour, unsophisticated corn doctor struck that town and be-gan a business career. He was one of those innocent-roiuded. unsuspicious com doctors that stand on a dry-goods box on a street-comer with a lighted torch, and plead forsuffering humanity and twenty-live cents. He had no Idea there were base, designing men in the world, or he would have entered the ministry and tried lead them to better life. He was a very beautiful young man. and his conversational jtowers were rare and of a high order. In his audience, one evening, was this Cap-tain Mangan we were telling about, who was all through the war—not commissary depieriinent—and gut shot full of holes and maimed for life.

The carteln told the corn doctor that he had lieen a great sufferer, and mon ey would be no object If he could get relief from a bunion that was drag ging him down to a premature grave. The young man came down uff his dry goods box, remarking that he didn't want anything softer than tha t bun ion, and Captain Mangan pulled off his bootandsock. There Is no question but that the men who make artificial feet and legs nowadays have got the thing down to a science.

Fi ts are caused by weakness, either cousliiutional or the result of Injudi-cious treatment.

Governor Oaroeion ' s Case.

We trust that the significance of the confetsiun and excuses made by ex-Governor Garcelon before the Maine Investigating Committee will not be overlooked. The fraudulent conspiracy of which Dr. Garcelon was the dupe or the instrument, or perhaps both, has indeed been defeated; bu t indications are plenty that the plot In Maine waa only part, of au extended series of oper-ations looking toward the capture of the next Presidency; and that the conspirators, although bafiled In one quarter , are stil active and hopeful elsewhere. The Minnesota rascality was probably postponed only on ac-count of Its exposure by the newspa-pers; It has not been abandoned, and its authors seem to be now preparing the public mind for the finale by a course of misrepresentations exactly like Uie falsehoods put forth as a pre-liminary to the rape of Maine.

Governor Garcelon, confronted with the documents found hidden on the top of a book-case in his prlva.e office. Is obliged to confess that the original re tums, or the tabulations do appear to have been tampered with, bu t he de-clares he had nothing to do with the work. Like another celebrated Demo-cratic statesman, he was deceived and p u t upon by his Council. He remained shut up In the back room, while t he trusted coparceners received and an-swered telegrams on his behalf In an-other apar tment manipulated figures, changed names, forged signaturea, scratched out majorities, and In gene-ral played the Old Harry with the re-sults of the election. He could not at-tend personallv to mere matters of de-tail, such as ascertaining who were en-titled to the certificates; for these tri-tles he was obliged to rely upon hla Council, and the Council was a very fine body. "They that have done this deed are honorable men." The Gover-

nor could no more suspect them cheat-ing than another Governor we know of could mistrust the Integrity of his nephew. He signed everything tha t the Council laid before him ;and he waa inexpressibly astonished when he dis-covered, after It was all over, that in some unexplained way the political complexionof the legis la ture had un-dergone a complete change. Dr. Gar-celon is frank enough to acknowledge tha t he was -pleasantly surprised" by this denouement He could not have been prepared for I t because aa he says himself, "nothing was said [by the Council) In his presence about counting in a quorum of Fusionlsts." He heard I t indeed, "referred to Inci-dentally in the streets;" bu t of course a Governor does not pay atten-tion to things that he hears referred to incidentally in the streets.

With regard to the opinion of t he Supreme Cour t Dr. Garcelon admita that he uever had the least Idea of paying respect to It. He submitted the questions only to "allay public ex-ci tement" but he meant all along t o d o aa he pleased In the matter. Any way, the answers were "partisan," and, l i f e other Democratic leaders, he baa "no confidence in the Court." The conduct of the Democratic party In Washing-ton with regard to the Supreme Bench of the United States Is in perfect har-mony with the course of Dr. Garcelon respecting the Judiciary of Maine. T h e majority In Congress refused to make appropriations for the deputy marshals on the ground that the Sup-reme Court would be obliged to declare t he election law unconstitutional, and the Democratic party could not oon-sent to the enforcement of an unoon-stltullonal statute. But now tha t the Court has athrmed the validity of the law, they refuse the appropriations all the same, and declare that they never Intended to be govemed by the judg-ment of the Cour t and will nullify the law whether It Is constitutional or n o t I t is probably necessary to point out what a gross insult Governor Garcelon offered, not only to the Judiciary, bu t to the people of Maine, when he called the Supreme Court together. Just for the purpose of bamboozling the public, and asked their opinion with the fixed purpose of not paying the sllghteat at-tention to I t We should like to know whether candid Democrats consider the behavior of their Congressmen In the matter of the election law different in any important particular from the conduct of the ex-Govemor of Maine.

Amer i can Commerce .

As respects our commerce. It Is again advancing. During the year 1877 the arrivals and clearances in our foreign and coastwise commerce, according to the Bureau of Statistics, exceeded 88,-000,000 tons, and were quite equal to the arrivals and clearances In the ports of Crest Brilan and Ireland. In our foreign commerce the foreign Hag pre-dominated, but in our coastwise trade, which now reaches to California, aud exceeds the foreign trade of England, the shipping was entirely American, so that more than 00,000,000 tons of i t including repeated voyages, were our own. Assuming the value of our shipping to be forty dollars per ton, and the average val ue of the cargo per ton to equal that of the vessel, the aggregate of American property exposed on the oceans in each year reaches • 6 . 6 7 2 , 0 0 0 , -

000; and if we add for American prop-erty in foreign bottoms but 8600,000,-ooo. the whole property thus exposed exceeds 88.000.000.000.

To protect this vast amount of prop-eity, in which the whole country la interested, and more especially the West and South, which furnirh or con-sume most of our cargoes, we have ex-pended yearly on our decrepit navy, including repairs, wages, and salaries, some 8I7.OOO.IHMI, or for the Insurance of such properly sgainsl piracy and war less than three-tenths of one per cen t per annum.

Again, we have In our aea-board cities propertv exceeding 8 4 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 ,

according to the assessor's valuation, exposed to foreign Iron-clads, some of which can throw Palliser shells o f , great size mora t han four miles, while our ships of war and our fortresses are insuflicient to protect this property. The proper'vy thus exposed on t he water and the land must exceed $10,-000,000,000 annually, and the amount we expend on our navy for ita insur-ance Is but a sixth of one per c e n t

As now applied, this is inadequate for the puriiose. and our nation, w i t h ita vast commerce and reveuue, can well afford a aufiicient premium. The questiun then arises. How can such premium of insurance be best used y The answer Is, i n t he t he creation and maintenance of m efficient navy, the Fire Department ot th* hk—Harper'1 Magailne.

The political campaign ot "1880," al ready begun, will be an exciting one. Two great and powerful parties confront each other and to one or the other will the victory belong. The contest lice lie-between these two parties. The third party—the Greenback party—cannot ex peet to capture an electoral vote, but by skillful maneuvering it may be made an auxiliary to the Democratic party, pro-vided certain contingences arise by which the election of president shall be left to Congress. Then, in view of this, the question before us is which of these two g n a t parties do we desire to have

control of the Government for the next four years? Democrat*, and per-haps Green hackers of Demociatic ante-cedente, will say "give us a Democratic administration." This means a good deal. I t means that the affairs of Gov ernment must be turned over to that party the bulk of which is represented by the statee which once attempted the overthrow of the Government. It means that the Democracy of tbe south must now be permitted to take up the reins and drive, and that the Democracy of the north, being only a wing of the Democratic party must follow the main body whether it will or no. Men who picked up the old flag in 1«81 when it was hauled down at Sumpter; who fought for it all the way through to 1868, and at a fearful cost bore it on to final victory, will be very loth to turn it over to the protection of that party the main portion of which to-day shows so little love or regard for it. Northern Democ-racy is powerless to protect it. North-ern Democrats may help to Irani/er it, but beyond that they cannot insure its protection.

Theee are times when men should stop and think. They will soon be call-ed upon to take their places in the ranks, on one side or the ether, and by their cotes declare their preferences. Repub-icans and those who have hitherto affll-ated with the Republican party, and ill who are in sympathy with the great princijilen of that party, should feel a pt-rsonal responsibility in the matter and make up their minds that there is work for all of them to do and that now i* the time to begin that work. Tbe spring elections are close at hand. The result :)f these minor elections will be accepi-fd as having a political significance which will enable us to see what the probable results will be next fall. I t it jf the highest importance then that ..•very man take his place now and vote this spring as he expects to vote next :all, keeping in mind the fact that Re-publican defeat means Democratic suc-•ess and that a Republican victory means Democratic defeat. Which will you Itave? Your choice must be tbe one or -he other. It is unnecessary to appeal .o Republicans to stand by their princi-ples. And isn't it strange that the vast inny of northern Democrats who prov-ed their love for the old flag and their royalty to the Union in the day of na-tional turbulence and distfee*—un't it •trange that they should now seek to place tbe reins of Government in the hands of those whom they opposed and fought when tbe nation's life was threat .fned:* We repeat .these are times when all men should stop and think. If the south-•rn Democratic press speak tbe senti-ments of southern Democracy, if tbe re-cords of southern Democratic Congrees-:nen, made within the last few yean , lave any meaning, then it is not safe to raasfer the control of this Government

to tbe hands of the Democratic party, (or southern Democracy will rule and northern Democracy is not strong •nough to dictate hotr it shall rule. Sec-tional issues and sectional fights are to be deplored, but who brought them on? What means a "Solid South" against a divided north? Were it a "Solid North" against a divided south then indeed could the South justly complain that the North fostered sectional issues. But this is not the case. It is a SoUd South igainst a divided North, and so long as his is so the tendency will be, and

Some men wade into an argument just as a rat enters a trap. It is easy enough to get in but mighty hard to gi t out.

The best advice we can give to a young man who is just starting out in life, is, be honest, be industrious, and learn to sugar-coat your own pills.

You can most always tell when men are not telling the truth by watching their eyes. It is harder to educate the eye to tell a lie than it is to educate the tongue not to tell the truth.

We once heard a man say that a man couldn't be a christian and a politician at the same time. Later developments of his true inwardness proved that it was possible for a man to be neiilier at the same time.

We don't believe that it is a mor.il possibility for a boy that has inherited the devil from his parents to be a very good boy. This may not be strictly or thodox but it's a fact that observation backs up pretty strong.

There Is sufficient land set apart to form a perpetual school fund, and in the old settled counties thf school houses a n t i l Imilt, and thousands of acres of left worth now from ten to forty dollara an acre, besides thousands of dollars a t interest received from the sale of theee lands.

Texas has made large grnnta of land to encourage the 'luilding of railroads within her liorders to the several ••om-pnnles. As the roads nre completed drafta upon the public domain and known as land certificates, or scrip, are isnued. Theee scrip are for sections of 640 a res each. By virtue of this scrip surveys of the unreserved public domain can be made, and title thereto acquired direct from the State. It has lieen by the location of these scrip that the sev-eral railroad comjnnies have acquired title to tbe lands which they now own. Several of these companies have pur-sued the policy of selling their land cer-tificates instead of locating the same. Phis is the best and safest investment for your money in the world. Purchase the scrip and have it located in a local-ity after your own heart. It costs but little to purchase a section (640 acres i of land now and in a few years it will make you independent. Look at the tide of emigration to the State. In 1878 fully 500.000 people came within her borders and settled homes and it was estimated by prominent men that the tide emigration in 1878 was fully one-third more, and the lands will increase in value in proportion to the increase of population. That it is an agricultural country, the 500,000 bales of cotton they annually export is ample evidence. That it is a stock raising country none can doubt, for Texas beef is quoted in •very market from Kansas to New York. Her shipments of wool, hides and pe-cans excel those of any other State. It has fifty million acres of wheat produc-ing land. The grasses ever green upon the surface are of more value than the gold of California, besides the State is underlaid with coal and mineral of all kinds.

There will be a party ready to start from Ix>well early in April for Texas to locate lands. All those wishing terms, location, etc.. will please call on or ad-dress J B F F E R S 0 5 ROBINSON,

In Detroit last week Judge Cham-tiers of tbe Wayne Circuit Court he'd that a saloon keeper who kept his sa-loon open and sold liquor on Thanks-giving day, could not be convicted un-der our statute which makes it unlaw-ful for a person to keep open xaloon and sell liquor on a legal holiday. The Judge decidnd that Thanksgiving was not a le-gal holiday within the intent of the statute, that it was s holiday only for the purpose of holding court and dis-counting or protesting paper. Tbe de-cision will probably enrpribe the legis-lature who enacted the law and eventu-ally may not be approved by the Su-preme Court.

Texas as it is.

Texas is the largest of the American States. Within her borders are more than one hundred and seventy-five mil-lions of acres of land,—274.866 square miles of territory. In topography Tsx-aa is naturally divided into three parts.

firsi.—Tbe seaboard, extending from the Sabine to the Rio Grande, nearly a thousand milre in length, and running inknd from seventy-five to one hun-dred miles.

Second.—The uplands or middle Texas containing every variety of soil, divarsi-fied with kills and valleys, alternating forests and prairie, watered by unfailing streams.

Third.—The great plains, including the Selano Estacado and the table lands, stretching far to the west and north-west to the bead waters of the Red. Pe-cos, and Brazos rivers. The first and aecond of theee topogrnphical classifica-tions are unsurpassed for richness and fertility of soil and salubrity of climate. The third and last division is yet the feeding ground of the buffalo. In this territory there is embraced a wider area of fertUe soil with less that is unpro-dua ive than any other portion of the habitable globe. Extending from the semi-tropical line of tbe Gulf to the temperate rone,—from the region of the lemon, the citron and the orange, on which the frosts never fall, through rice and sugar and cotton flelds, up to the Egypt of Texs*. (her great northwest) where the cereals yield in unsurpassed profusion; such a country, with such a climate, bounded ky perpetual spring on the south end by almost eternal winter in its farthest border line, must lie adapted to all the wants of the k indmls and tongues on the face of tbe earth. There are not less than twenty thous-and people who actually live and camp nightly on the prairies of Texas.

Texas grants, under her general rail-road law, sixteen sections or 10.24(i acre* of land for every mile of road con-structed and put in running order. In addition to this, each alternate section granted to railroads is reserved for the school fund. The number of acres of school land will now approximate twen-ty million acres, t u r n over fifty mil-liou dollars. By t b . late constitutional convention there has been granted for a State University one million acre* more of the public lands. It mity be asked if all the advantage* that Texas offers in cheap lands, variety of products, health, comfort and law abiding people are not counterbalanced by heavy taxes. The constitution provides that tbe State tax on property shall never exceed fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valna-tion, and that no city, town or eounty shall levy more than one-half of said

"L. M. W.," of Constantine, as Its the Letter Box" editor of the Post A Tri-

They are mixing their politics very much in Orand Rapids, and in view of the future we think they are making a great mistake. If the Republicans in Orand Rapids want to know what they can or most do next fall now is the time to find out by running a straight et. But instead of "getting into line" tickit looks to outsiders very much as though they were getting limber in the hack. Brace up.

The center bent of the eastern portion of Flat river bridge settled yesterday and upon examination the timbers were found badly decayed. The bridge is no longer safe and cannot bo used until repaired. There is talk of putting in a new bridge. If this be done—(and i t seems that now is the time to do it) let us have no more wooden bridges to rot down in a few years, but a substantial iron bridge.

AT J. W. WALKER'S.—The "niuhu-ap social" attheresidenceof J. W. W ilker's in Vergennes last Thursday night was a decided success in every respect. There were present about ?00 jolly souls and a right merry time they had. About 80 Lowt'llit.'s were there and they all voted it a "big time." Elghty-flve numbers were sold which entitled the buyer to oae night-cap and supper for himself and lady. The night-cap part of the programme afforded much amusement. The ladies all wore night-cnpe of differ-ent style and to each of these there was a corresponding night-cap to be drawn by soma gentleman. When drawn, the gentleman looked up his "partner" and, when the time arrived, escorted her to supper. There was necessarily an la-discriminate pairing off of " the aged, the middle aged and blooming youth." But there was one noticeable feature— the aged were just as young as the youngest and contributed as much to make the occasion lively and enjoyable. Mr. Walker's house is well arranged for such large gatherings. Every room was free to all and—well we were sorry for those who had to "put things to rights" the next day. The object ot this social was to start a fund with which to build a nsw grange h t l l in Vergennes. Sucb a hall will undoubtedly be built be-fore long. The fund was well started and It was fun to help start it. The evening wss delightfully spent and tlie writer feels jus t like going again. The supper was simply Immense—put on in splendid shape and in such quantities as to almost make Sherman's army stare. If you want to go where they have good things to eat without limit go to a grange supper. Never have heard of a failure yet. The Lowell delegation were liandsomely treated and will long re-member the occasion. Vergennes Is one of the best towns In the county and con-Ulna as thrifty, intelligent well-to-do class of peopleascanbefoundanywhere. The JOURNAL feels sssured that the new grange hall will be built without nay

ifs. ' They are able and willing—and that settles it.

OfNEaocs.—Prof. Crane, the portrait artist, has generously offered to put the Lowell Cornet Band on canvas, without money and without price. Photograph-er Chapman photographed the band last Friday for that purpose. The painting will be a $200 one. Mr. Crans Is large hearted.

OKANOE SOCIAL. — There will be a grange social and supper at the residence of Morgan Lyon Esq, in Vergennes, on Thursday evening, April 0. Mr. Lyon has a fine, large, roomy houss and the latch string is always out. Tbe object of the social is to increase tbe grange hall building fund. Everybody go.

to Bicks' voice and did so. Then Blcks went to (leorge and to Anthony, one of the elders, to Daniel and to Edwin, son of Abram, and said, "Ob men of Ver-gennes! 1 have sold my master's wares to Jacob your ruler anil lo Sidney, one of your wise men. do yealsobuy tliem." And they with one accord said "we will."

Now when Hicks had gone unto his country, the people of Vergennes found that he had made false statements about his master's scales, and they with os r accord said "Oh Jacob! have this man brought to justice for he isan iiiipostur.' And Jacob hearkened unto the Importu nltles of his is-ople. and sent for Hicks to appear before tl:o great Tribunal. Then Jacob summoned his people to-gether to testify agalmt tho impostor. And he caused a great advocate to conn-even from the city, which is called Orand Itapids; and they bad a pr.-at tri-al. The testimony was strong against the prisoner, and tho people with one accord cried out, "let him be punished." But tho judge had compassion op him, and said, "let him depart unto his own country.' ' And the people returned to their homes saying within themselves,

henceforth we will beware of impos-tors."

So readeth the first chapter of Chroni-cles. In concluaion we will say tbe en-tertainment was enjoyed by both old and young, and we hope next year to liave the pleasure of attending another at the same place. SLM J m .

TOWNSHIP P o u n c s . — At present writing it looks a* though there would be only two township tickets in the

field here this spring. The Republicans will of course nominate a straight Re-publican ticket, and the green hacker* will probably call theirs the "People's ticket," and tbe Democrats will have no ticket. This is tbe situation of affairs at ptesent, according to the best informa-

tion obtainable. Some green backers ob-ject to the programme, preferriug a straight Greenback ticket but it is be-lieved that a large majority of them are in favor of a People's ticket. Their caucus has not as yet been called but considerable quiet figuring is being done and—well, still waters run deep you know. Republicans should get them-selves to tbe front and be ready for a big day's work next Mondsy.

Alex Cooper, a Murphy convert, ha* been for a week holding what he styles Ro*pel Temperance meetings, at the Alton church. Mr. C. when converted, three years ago, could not reader write. He now reads better than the average public speaker. U e i a a very pleasant and effective speaker, and I should judge that he la doing very effective temperance work. He came hero from Belding where he had been laboring for some weeks. On Sunday a number of his converto from that place were pres-ent, some inebriates of 25 years stand ing, who ajipear to be thoroughly re-formed. May Ood speed the work.

EDITOR JOURNAL.—If w e m a y b e a l -

lowed we would like to give an account of a School Exhibition which we recent-ly attended at what is commonlphnown as the "red school house." As space in the papers Is precious, we will only mention a few pieces which are particu-larly impressed upon our mind. There were several very good recitations, and a dialogue, "Witches in the Cream," was very nicely acted, especially the part of "Mrs. Churndasher."

A simple fvrce entitled, "Gen. Grant's Courtship" was the "take off" of the evening; and called forth the heartiest laugh from the audience with the ex-ception of an Impernonatiou, "Miss Mal-oney on the Chinese Question."

The music and tableaux were good. We have been able U> secure a Chronicle from the "paper." read i y Mary L. Mil-ler. which being of interest to the pub lie, we beg leave to give In full:

"And it came to paw in the third year of the reign of Rutherford, whose sur-name was Hayes, there came to the town which is called Lowell, on the banks of the mighty river, called Orand. a certain roan whose surname was Hicks, wrvant of Howe, a craftv artificer, who dwelt in Chicago, one of the cities of the Amniorites. Howe encouraged many killful Imndicraftmen to serve him. and

make for him an ingenious kind of l>al-tnce. which he called scales. Now Howe sent his servant Hicks abroad, t. the far country ..f Miihlgan to prevail ou the people !<• buy the stnles, wliicl bis other servnnts made for him. Not* when Hicks came to Lowell, h s said

Oh men of Lowell, direet me where I can find men to buy mr master's wares?" And the people answered with one ac-cord, saying, "go thou north, even un-to tbe region of country which is called Vergennes. and see Jacob, a man high in authority, the chief ruler of tho peo-ple. and If thou cans t prevail on him t.. purchase thy master's wares, all th. people round about in that region will go and do likewise." And Hicks did even as the Loweilites commanded him to do. And when he had prevailed up-on Jacob to take one of his master's bal-ances. called scales, he went to Jacob s brother-in-law, whose name was Sidney, one of the wise men, and said unto him. "Oh Sidney do not suffer thyself to be cheated anymore by the rascally mer-chants of Lowell, who weigh thy mer-cliandlse on false balances, but buy one of my master's balances, which are call-ed'scale*, and weigh thine owu mer-chandise." And Sidney hearkened un

Among the most remarkable pruduc-tioiiR of this age and country is Hall's Hair Renewer. Its success is unparallel-ed. It is Bought after by rich aad |)oor. high aud low, young and old. luliabi-tanta of foreign lands—tho people of Australia, of Kuropo and of South America find means to get it at what-ever cost. It is becnuse it works like magic. It restores the hair to its youth-ful color aud beauty, and rob? approach-ing age of one of its disagreeable accom-paniments. If you are getting bald, trv it.

It speaks for itsely: is what a lady .-aid of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup thcothi r day, for a single bolt!? cured my child of a most dreadful couch.

It can almost be asserted tliat St. Jac-obs Oil works wonders. Shortly before the New Year, when I visited my fami-ly in Mitchell. I found my son Edward, a' lad a little more then ten rears old. very »ick. Ho suffered with rheumatism and so terribly that he was perfectly ..tiffiu his limbs, could not possibly walk, aud had to be carried from plact to place. At once 1 sent for some St. Jacobs Oil. used it ncconlliiK to direc-tions, and in a few days could see evi-dence of considerable improvement. On the tenth of this month 1 again visited my familv and was astonished to find him well and hearty. He once more ha* fresh color in nis face ami can go t. school again. Whenever the old troubl. threatens to return, relief is immediate-ly secured bv the use of the relebnted St. Jacobs tfil. From sheer joy over • is result 1 cannot withhold recom-

•iieiiding St. Jacob* Oil to suffering hu-manity as a true bonefartor.

Poanuta,

The niauner in which the nuts are teparated. cleaned and classed Is some-what as follows; The third story of tlie building contains thousamla uf bushels of peas in bags, and there the continual ruar uf the machinery is tleafeniuK, Kach machine has a duty to perform. Firet, there is a large cylinder in which all the nuts are placed, in order that the dust and dirt may be shaken off them. They pass from Uie cylinder into the brushes, where every nut receives fifteen feet of bruabing befure it liecomes free. Then they pass through a sluiceway to the floor below, where they are dropped on an endless belt, about 21-2 fetl in width, and dashing along at the rate of four miles an hour. On each side of the belt stand eight colored girls, and as the nuts fall from tho sluice on to the lielt the girls, with a quick motion of the band, pick out all of the poor looking nuts, and by the time the belt reaches the end two-thirds of the nnts are picked off. allow-ing only the finest to pass the crucible. Those that do pass drop through an-uther sluice and empty into bags on the floor below. When the bag is fill-ed it is taken away by hand, sewed up, and branded as "cocks," with the lig-ttre of a rooster prominent on its sides.

The peas caught up by the girls are thrown to one fide, placed in bags, and carried into ar ulher room, where they are again picked over, the beat singled out. bagged and branded aa "ships." These are as fine a nut aa the first for eating, but in rha|>e and color do not compare with the "cocks." Having gone over them twice, we now come to a third grade, which are called and branded as "eagles." These are picked out of '.he cullings of the "cocks" and "ships," but now and then you will find a respectable looking nut among them, though the eyes of the colored damsels are as keen as a hawk, and a bad nut is rarely allowed to pass their hands. The culliugs that are left from the "eagles" are bagged, sent through the elevator to the top story, and what little meat is in them is shaken out by a patent sheller, which is not only novel, bat as perfect a piece of machinery as was ever invent-ed. The mils being shelled by this new process, the meat drops into bags below free from dust or dirt of any kind, and are then shipped iu two-hundred pouud sacks to the North, where they are bought up by the con-fectioners for the purpose of making taffy or peanut candy. I t may be here stated that a peculiar kind of oil is extracted from the meat of tho nut, and in this specialty a large trade ia done among the wholesale druggists. There is nothing wasted, for even the shells are made useful. They are pack-od in sacks and sold to stablckeepers for horse-bedding, and a very healihy bed they make.—PAtVode/o/iio Titiuji.

Ancient Butter .

Al a meeting of the Society of I'ub-lic Analysis, in London, a -paper by Professor Church and Mr. Winner "on two ancient samples of butter," was read, of which the Chemical iVruw gives the following abstract; The firet was

sample of Irish bog-butter, and ita robable age was judged to Ihj about

i,ooo years. The sample contains near-ly 4 per cent of cunl, which consisted :iartly of vegetable matter derived rum tho bog, but contained quite

enough animal matter to prove that the butter had been originally made from animal milk, and was not a mere g-tificial fat. Ita fatty character had however, been entirely changed, and the glyceridea of which the fat had originally consisted had been decom-posed ao as to leave simply a mixture of the fatty acids which constitute the acid portion of animal fats. The but-ter had in fact become changed into a substance closely reaembling in char-acter and compoeitlon the substance of which good composite candles are com-poeed. The result is singular, as show-ng that length of time combined with

exposure to moisture will effect the decom|)osition which the manufacturer of stearlne has to effect by the agency of heat and acids. The other and older sample of batter had been taken from an alabaster vase in an Egyptian tomb; it had evidently been melted and poured into a vas#, and carefully sealed over. This sample was probably about 2,500 yeara old, but the preserva-tion had been so perfect that it was only slightly rancid, and had fully re-tained the chemical propertiea of gen-uine butter, the fat not having been decomposed to any sensible extent Thia sample possessed a decided taste and smell of butter, while the sample from the bog was cheesy rather than buttery in smell.

Interviewing an Actreaa.

Maybe the reporter didn't know how to interview an actress, and may-be that's why he had so much trouble. Having sent up his card and lieen ad-mitted to her presence, be stated hla business, and she said, languidly: "I'm sorry you've come; I don't fancy you newspaper men, and hate being inter-viewed." Maybe he knew this was just said for effect, and that shu would'nt mibs the interview for a heap, but he replied, "Oh, well, then, I won't trouble you. Sorry 1 intruded. Good day." However, she got to the door first and said, "Oh, now you're here, 111 oblige you." And he answered, "Ob, no; wouldn't trouble you for the world." "But it won't be very much trouble." "Well, never mind; 1 don't care particularly about i t " "But— but—lu—fact—it will be a pleaaura I only object because reporters always ask the same questions, and then don't print Juat what you aay." "Well, I'll try and do better than that," and they seated themselves.

Then he asked: "How did you cele-brate your 34th birthday ¥" "KhV"— jumping up—"what d'ye mean, slrV Vou re a mean wretch to aak such a uestion!" Steps on her lap dog—ad-ressea dog. "Drat your pelt, get out!"

Then she observed him writing, and

Thk IsTiuii'S Canai,. In resiKinse to a resolulioti of the House, .Secretary Thompson sent in a letter, trans-mitting all the unpublished records in the Navy Department relative to the subject of an interocoanlc canal.There ta no information in the archives of the department conceming a abip ran al acrosa the latlimus that has not lieen published, except a report made by Lieut. T. W. CravenB,Feb. 18. 1850 to Isaac Toucey, then Secretary of the Xavy. on the results ot the A t n t o Ex pedilion. Lieut, Cravena left the (ittlf of Daiien un the oth of Decern ber, 1858. and sailed up the Atrato River. From tho Atrato be sailed long the Truando, and then up the Nu quah Rivers to tlie mountains, cross-ing over to the Pacific, where he arriv-ed on th" 22d of January. The length of the route is sixty-five miles. Lieut Cravens reported that to build a canal over the route would require the ner vices of 20,000 men for twenty-one years. He reported it impossible to build a safe harbor on Uie Pacific end of the route, and pronounced the pro-ject impracticable.

About 886,300,000 gallons uf beer were manufactured in Uie United States in 1870, and 1^45/500,000 gal-lons in Oreat Britain.
