“Abolish nil loy-ti punishment for per- jury,’ snitl 1, tlOj-iniiticaUy, at the end o f a desultory argument with some o fth e other clerks in the San Francisco Mint, “and not one witness in a dozen would speak the truth. As lor their oaths— ball! They don t care that for them’'— snapping* my lingers like the cluck o f a hen.

“I don’t know, boys,” said Joint Flem­ing, who had taken no part in the discus­sion, laying down his pen, and squaring about upon his stool; “ l don t know 'that I can say anything on this question worth listening to, but it' you will stop your confounded figuring a moment I ’ll relate a little experience of mine that may be of service to this young gentleman who knows so very much about tlie nature oi tm oath aud most other tilings.”

There was a general snapping together of ledgers and all manner of books; Gov­ernment clerks do not require much of a pretext to stop work. A c alL gathered about John, like bees about Hymettus, and he began:

I was a witness, once, in a murder case at Pinkerton’s Bluff, on tho Korth Sandy,just above the falls. Bob I)------ , a friendo f mine—knew him in tlie States—was charged with having killed Dave Thatch­er, known in. all that region as Bet-Tou Dave. He had been a born debater, had Dave. Ho was never known to agree with the opinions o f anyinan at the Bluff, upon any question under heaven; and he made use o f the one argument—“I bet you five dollars.”

The moment he heard any one make an assertion, express a belief, or hint a rumor —frequently before possessing his mind o f the speaker’s full meaning—he’d bet ldm five dollars it wasn't so! ,When no­body was talking he would try iu all in­direct ways to entrap some one into indi­cating an opinion upon some subject, and theu lie was down upon him with that everlasting wager. He would put up the money, too, and what’s more ho would commonly win: unless there was a dead sure thing against him; and this was so frequently tlie case that it kept him poor, If, in Dave’s presence, a man dared affirm that his dog was. yellow, quick as light­ning came an offer to bet him five dollars he wasn’t; and it came with such positive energy that i f the man hadn’t seen his dog since morning it was ten chances to one that he would hack down, or haggle for time to go and take another look. I never saw Dave myself; it was after his time that I came to the Bluff'; but the fame of his extraordinary wagers, and the no. less extraordinary way in which he sometimes won them was in everybody’s mouth.

On the fifteenth day o f July, in ’5S,Dave aud my friend Bob D—---- passedthe whole evening together in the bar­room o f the Spread Eagle Hotel, and dur­ing tlie time Bob lost three*straight bets* with him. About nine o’clock they de­parted together, quarreling about the man­ner in which Bob had been silenced but not convinced.

Dave was never, afterward seen alive; but the next spring a dead body, almost

'past recognition, was discovered hidden awayin cliapparal, near tue side ot tlie' road overwhich the two musthave passed to reach their houses, about two miles from town. Pearly everybody said, the body was that of Dave, and as it had a bullet in it—not some old bullet, such as one might have somewhere in his system, but a comparatively fresh one, which had passed through the*heart—Bob was taken . into custody, charged with the deed. In the mean time I had moved up from be­low the falls, and as the whole town had taken the other side I determined to stand by the friend whom I had known in the States.

At the trial the Court room was packed with people," and tlie tide of public opin­ion set so strongly against the prisoner that tlie Judge had to draw his. six-shoot­er a dozen times to keep order. After a score Of witnesses had been examined for the prosecution, every one o f whom made things look, very black for Robert, the State vested its case. Then the attorney fot the defence arose, and-simpiy said:

“Your Honor, I shall make no prelim­inary statement, and I shall calf but one -witness. ! By him I..shall -prove an alibi, or,give Tip tlie;caS0.” *"

“Eh! Afhat’s that?" shouted the Dis­trict Attorney, hopping Upon llis feet—as fussy a little rascal as over snorted law before a deaf Justiceof the Peace. “Will you prove that the prisoner was not on *?panish Town road the night or the-.al- leged murder?”

“ifo ! I ’ll prove that the deceased was not.”

There was a m—ked sensation in court as my name was called, and I was solemn­ly sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth,, ■and. nothing but the truth.* “At ten o’clock on the night of July

IS, ISIS,” I began, circumstantially, “ I was walking along the river bank, on the

.side of town opposite the Spanish Town, road, and just above the falls. I wouldn’t trouble myself, i f I were you”— turning to the District Attorney—“ to ask what I was walking there for,.because if isn’t anybody’s business.”

“ I appeal to the Court!” screeched the little rascal, springing to his feet, “i f I ’mto be insulted, in this way----- ”

“Keep still, will .you,” said his Honor,' “ and let the witness; proceed.” I had, made a favorable impression, at the start; and, it gave mo confidence. I resumed:

“It was a- warm, moonlight evening, and the -mist, rising above the cataract was' less dense than usual; so I could see tol­erably well. Just at the brink, on an overhanging rOclc, I saw a tall bent figure in gray clothes, wearing a; slouch hat—a very had hat; I don’t see more than a hundred worse ones in the room.” There was a smile all around, and theii the Dis­trict Attorney asked me if I had known the deceased, Mr. Thatcher, in his life-*. time. I replied -that I had noWliad nev­er sooii him. / . ■ :

“Remember thafy gentlemen -of the jury,” said he, with, a conceited smile;

“‘•remember the. witness' had ‘never seen nor heard o f the deceased.- •.'We' don’t' mean to controvert; tlie witness’s state.-! ment on that point sir," he* added,' acb

dressing the counsel for the defence, and smirking as i f he had got hold of a good tiling which ho would hold in reserve as a final crusher.”

“ Cuss you!" roared the Judge, “keep your mouth shut, will you? Tlie witness will proceed."

“I approached this person on tlie rock;”I continued, “ and said, ‘Good evening.’ ”

“ ‘Bet you five dollars it ain't!’ ” said he, turning sharply about.

At this there was a general snigger from the spectators, and Dave Thatcher’s widow, who sat near, looked up witli a sudden hope in her face that was cheerful to see. I resumed my testimony:

“ ‘Do you see that oak on the other bank?" continued the man on tlie rock, pointing to a conspicuous pine.

“I thought the fellow must he a mani­ac, and I did not know just what to ans­wer; but presently replied that I was not certain whether I saw it or not—it depend­ed upon circumstances.

“He was silent for some moments; then lie shivered and chattered liis teeth.

“ ‘Snowbefore morning,’ said lie. ‘Per­haps SO,’ said I, non-committally; ‘seems thickening Up, but that may be an opti­cal illusion.’

“Then ho wanted to know if I remem­bered what year General Jackson was elected President—‘wasn’t it in ’53?’ I told him I did not recollect. After a while lie said carelessly:

“ ‘They're talking, here at the Bluff, about running Ben, Franklin for next President’

“ I made no reply. Then he came up to me and laid a hand on my shoulder.

‘“ See here, stranger.’ said h e ,‘is there any subject you feel at home on? Have you got any. hobby—any opinions?’

“ ‘I am not sure,’ I replied; ‘some peo­ple have opinions, and some don’t have any. Some that do have them don’t have them all the time; and those that have them all the time often forget them."

“ 'Well, I swear!” said he, disgusted, “I ’m going-to jump over these falls—bet you five dollars I w ill!’

“I said nothing, and lie continued: ‘I shall be exactly "three seconds aiid a half getting to the bottom—won’t I, now?’

‘“ Possibly. Maybe a little more tlian that—maybe a little less—maybe just that. I don’t remember jumping over anycascades myself.’

“He gave me one look, laid off his lint, backed up to the brink of the precipice, and dropped himself down, hanging on to tlie edge with his hands. Then lie let go, falling three hundred feet iuto the boiling whirlpool below!”

“May it please the court,” shrieked the little District Attorney, lunging -forward upon his hind feet, “I want to put one question to this witness now! You say, sir, you had never seen the deceased Mr. Thatcher up'to the moment you met him on thatTOck—and never heard o f Mm— and never heard o f any o f his relations. How, sir, on your oath, on your Bible oath, sir! how do you know that this man you saw go over the falls was Dave Thatcher? How do you know it, sir?”

“I don’t know it, I know it was not he. 'For just before he let go the rock he looked up at me, with his nose above the edge, and said;

“ ‘You tliink I ’m Dave Thatcher, don’t you?’

“I told him he might be, or he might not.

“ ‘Just sol’ said lie, desperately, as bis fingers began to slip. ‘Bet you five dol­lars I ain’t !’

There was a good, deal o f loose talk in court after this, but the spectators would not listen to it, ’and Bob D—:— was tri omphantly acquitted, being borne through the town on the shoulders of the jury, to the music o f a brass band and the' cheers of the whole population.

But Dave Thatcher's widow persisted ix. putting up a handsome headstone over the" remains o f the unknown dead, and was going to have it inscribed with her late husband’s name, and what she still regarded as the manner of his death, when Bob stopped the proceedings by marry­ing her.

“I don’t see what all this lias to do with the question of the advisability of swear­ing witnesses in court,” said I, wheu John had finished his yarn.

“Don't, eh? It’s got this to do with it. There wasn’t a prison in the State which Thad not broken out of a thousand times. I f I hadd’t been pnt upon my Bible oath what was to prevent my telling a lie?”

Idle Labor aud tlie Public Lands.One of the best: means of aiding the:

working people to better times is to place ■them on the idle lands of the “West. Itis vain to say .that, those lands are already open in one hundred and sixty acre farms to all who are willing to cultivate them; what is wanted is: the means o f getting there as well, says the Lowell Sun. The persons most in.need of tlieland are those, who- cannot hope to reach it i f left to their own resources. A man out Of work, even a single man,' is in most cases una­ble to leave his present locality, except on foot, much less travel a couple o f thou­sand miles, pay entrance fees on a govern­ment loti build a habitation, buy stock and tools, and support himself till the harvesting of his crop. The thing is a tantalizing impossibility.

The larger the man’s family, the great­er to him is the distance to tlie land, and the fewer are his chances of reaching it. The more likely, too, is he to become a public burden during his enforced idle- _ ness. I t is quite a different thing with the ’ inan who can buy his ticket and go Where ■ he pleases, putting up at hotels on the way; He smiles at the distance and thinks it nothing; in fact, he is of the class of citizens who do not want the- land, and considers the man who talks of going to it very foolish indeed. Why not live here and prosper? He may be do ing well; may be drawing dividends out- of stock left him by a relative, and he knows nothing of discontent.

Even tlie few mechanics who have been fortunate enough to keep in steady work and out of debt do not comprehend how heipless is tlie poor man who has no earning. He feels dependent; has . po heart to look, around him, and is often in his weakness fain to toady to the man who can keep him from toe almshouse, or front crime with a dollar or a day’s work. He feels as i f lie were: sentenced1 to walk upon the sea, expecting to sink at toe slightest motion. Such is the condi­tion of many honest mechanics and labor­ers to-day in our eastern cities, who would hail such, a measure* as we hint at With, the joy o f liberated slaves.. • They are tied down with the bonds of poverty,-. and mope hopelessly about the public streets,' the gall of their condition, embit­tering life and destroying" their 'manli­ness.

This is no rhetoric; we have spoken with these honest, depressed souls,; and" know what we are talking about. W*2 want them put on the public domain, so long: used to fatten interest-sucking capi-, tal. arid: .'tilere'employ their willing hands in building tip hprnes for.'tfiems&lyeS; pro­ducing food for others and adding wjealto and strength to .toe ration." They have'.a; first .right- to it;-,corporations .and specu-

. lators jiave long.’ since had' their ;ih«:e.7 Workingmen,.,rthihk' .this. thing 'over among'; yourselves. Even; you \who do not calculate to "turn farmers would, be - bettered by having less idle labor around- looking for your places,; It .will- benefit' all men who labor or -depend .on labor; -

Diamonds. ,Of all the countries which have fur­

nished diamonds, India has been known as a prolific source for toe longest period of time, Perhaps toe most famous of dia­mond fields there are the Golconda Mines. Thousands of people have found aud many do still find employment there, although much of the wealth has already been ex­hausted. During the reign o f Louis XTY, Tavernier visited the Orient to collect dia­monds and precious stones' for Jii's king. At that time (about 1G80) he found GO,000 personsengageclinsearcklng for diamonds :m toe mines of Ellore, in India, Next to India in importance is South America. The mines in Brazil Were opened in 1727, and the best of them are situated north of the Rio Janeiro. On toe Rio Jequitiu- hottha and Rio Pardo toe most remunera­tive fields are found. Other placers have yielded very good diamonds, however.

On Borneo, in the IJral Mountains, and in Australia, diamonds have been found. In the United States they have been col­lected at several localities, but only in comparatively isolated specimens. Dia­monds have been, obtained from Horth Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Califor­nia. The notorious occurrence of these. precious stones in What was termed toe “Arizona diamond fields,” situated iu tlie Korth-western Colorado, is probably still too fresh in tlve memory of everybody to require special mention. Diamonds were certainly found there, but, to use a popu­lar phrase, “ they had not grown there.”

Recently, discoveries of extensive dia mond fields have been made in Africa. They are situated on and near the Orange and Vaal Rivers, and are being worked ■with energy. Although their discovery dates back but a comparatively short time, it appears that tlie existence of dia­monds there was abeady known during the last century. According to Dr, J. IV. Morton, the natives have for a long time used diamonds front this locality to drill their stones, and formerly made periodical visits to replenish their supply of material.

As is frequently the case, the present impetus In that region to mining opera­tions was given by the accidental discov­ery of a diamond. It wits found in the hands of some children, who were playing with toe pretty pebble.

Wherever diamonds are found, they oc­cur in redeposited material. River-drift or boulder-clay may Contain them. Ho matrix for them lias been recognized with certainty as yet, although it is claimed that the itacolumite (flexible sandstone) of Brazil contains them. This assertion is scarcely proved, however, and even if it were so, this very itacniumite is but the product of re-deposition. It may be re­garded as a significant fact; perhaps,.’ that the localities of Horth Carolina and Geor­gia, where diamonds have been found,'are not far removed from occurrences of flexi­ble sandstone. In the South African dia­mond fields the gems are contained in a conglomerated mass. It is composed mainly c f volcanic material, but has evi­dently been deposited by "water. In its general,jtohysical character it may be comparecf to the “blue cement” o f Cali­fornia, whicnis auriferous.

Of all these localities mentioned, India has produced by far the largest number of celebrated diamonds. The largest dia­mond of which we have any knowledge, is mentioned by Tavenier. It was found in 1550, was in the possession o f the Great Mogul at tlie time o f Taverner's visit, and weighed 900 carats. The present “ Great MrguL" -weighs 279 carats, and may be a portion'of toe original one.

Early Love.*Young girls who have hardly entered

their “ teens” should give their undivided attention to self-culture, and not allow themselves to have their attention divert­ed,nor their time consumed by love mat­ters. This is a subject appropriate only for riper years. They may properly ;as-_ sociate with such young boys as (are" known to be correct and virtuous in their lives, at proper times, and may treat them and be treated by them politely and kindly ; but to receive their attentions' as” lovers is entirely out of season and im­proper. Such love affairs are disastrous in many ways. They distract the mind and divert toe attention from study. There maybe leaves and blossoms in this premature growth of toe affections, hut toe fruit-will wither and fall—will never ripen. Hence Waste and sometimes ruin are the consequences. At mature age, when the mind has been cultivated and the character established, when the judg­ment has gained control over the affec­tions, and toe girl has. in every sense, Ito- oome a young woman, then may she re- * ceive toe attention of such a suitor as is approved by her cultivated taste and sound judgment. But the suitor whose character and purposes are questionable, will be rejected by her. She will never encourage his attentions. I f hehas a had reputation she: will bewaro of him.. I f his habits and associates are corrupt,; she will refuse all proffers of Itis love. I f ho’ is destitute o f principle, as lie must be, to be destitute of character, she will dis­trust bis purposes, and repel him from her presence. Ho young lady can afford to undertake the reform, of a dissolute and dissipated lover, bv receiving his at­tentions and joining herself to him in the • sacred bonds of marriage. Her duty.to herself and the World forbids it. She is under no obligations to sacrifice herself upon this altar. She has no right to im­peril -her future happiness,* and subject. herself to all the abuse, and' poverty and shame and wretchedness, that are qfteh found in the drunkard’s or profligates home. But such, are the results, we be­lieve, in nine cases out of tcu, when young women allow themselves to be led to the altar by corrupt and dissipated yOUng men. There are hut few cases of reform and restored affections, where tliesn hab­its have been formed in early life.

“ Cork, for Orders.” -Ho doubt every farmer who watches

the course o f' the foreign export trade in American produce, especially grain, says tile American Cultivator, has noticed the clearance of corn or wheat laden ships lor “ Cork, for orders.” This simply implies that the cargo goes to await a receiver, Cork being a most convenient point’on

' the coast of Great Britain, from which to sail for any other port in toe United King­dom, or to the Continent. In a previous issue it was remarked that the prices for American produce were regulated by the Liverpool market. This brings up the question of international values. The ad-, vantages that ilotv from international trade cannot be overestimated. In fact, upon them depends the life of the Ameri­can market to a greater or lesser extent. These advantages result from a more ef­fective distribution of the productive forces o f the world. When wheat goes up in Liverpool it goes up in Chicago, and toe points of shipment on-toe Atlantic coast also notably feel theinfluence of the change. Perhaps the reason for England controlling the productive markets of tlie world is not sufficiently understood. One reason is- because labor in Europe- is cheaper than it-is in toe United States, and the population of toe United States is much below that of Europe, where.-tofere are more mouths to be fed and. more Hands to feed them. The American scale o f remuneration is much more liberal than toe English, and the proceeds: o f equal values will therefore he distributed; in higher wages and larger profits on .one side than on tlie other ; the sacrifice hull be less on toe American than on the Eng­lish side. English and American com­modities, therefore, do not .exchange -for each other in proportion to their .costs of production, as consisting o f the real, sacri­fices undergone by the .producers. As

. compared with England, wages, in fthe United States are from twenty-five, to fifty pev cent higher. Thus, in the commercial dealings o f those nations, toe .product of a

; day’s labor in this.,country .enables [the: Workman to command the product, be it wheat,, corn, or what not, in round num­bers, o f a day and a third’s .labor in Gijeat Britain, Such is the proportion, measured .by the standard,of cost, jin, which the two . leading nations oftoe world. -atthe-preSent time exchange .their productions. ■ Res­pecting prices,- much; depends .upon fthe demand .and tlievolume, ol supply:. W heat' :is, of all important :cqmmoditie§, jhat one Which exhibits. In. the mpyeinents, of [tlie .market, variatipij’ iin: the; mostbextteme degree. In 1847 top weekly _averag(j price of this cereal in England, 'for. example, had risen to, "a point, as high; as l02s per quarter; within 'a year from’that .'time -it fell to. a , little more than" half that', price and in 1S51 to as .low as 43s. Tn January, 1854, its. maximum elevation Was 84s. American, wheat, for shipment in July next, lias been sold at toe rate o f 42slGd. The adaptation, o f supply is to a great, ex­tent a tentative process. |

The Oneida Community.This peculiar sect, fonudedupon inter­

pretations o f the bible, which is suscepti­ble p f so many -constructions by. men of different "minds,'call their little commun­ity the kingdom of heaven. Following toe teachings o f toe primitive church, they hold' their goods'in common. Mar­riages pro prohibited, but iu a commun­ity numbering three hundred and sixty souls there are sixty children. Where celibacy is toe rule," and no exceptions are admitted, even to prove it, whence come toe little ones? Marriage in form only is prohibited. A system o f stirpi- culture prevails/ and.it is' designed to rear thehuman family on toe principles which govern the breeding of fancy stock. Parents have been selected, not with a view’ 'ter a union for life, hut for the purpose of raising a superior Tace’of men and women. Tito experiment has not been rigidly tried, for toe physician of the community admits that little furth­er lias been attempted than “ laying a veto on combinations for parentage wMch were obviously unfit.” Statistics o f re­sults, it is claimed, are favorable to the 'experiment. Of fifty-five children horn in the community in nine years, five died at birth The rest have lived entirely free from serious illness, and have not been assailed by measles, whooping-cough, and such other contagious diseases as are sup­posed to be the common lot of childhood. The five deaths are attributed to imper­fect selections for parentagc._

The community is increasing and mul­tiplying its worldly store. Commencing thejf peculiar life under disadvantageous circumstances, the Oneidas are now pro­prietors and employers. They own a

' section, of. land upon wMch they reside, and obtain large profits from horse and cattle raising and butter-making. They have a silk factory, a steel-trap factory, and,, as any patron of a grocery store must know, can fruits and vegetables. The value of the property is estimated at half a million, and every member of the community is assured a comfortable live­lihood. I f any member, urged by the possessory principle which leads to per­sonal accumulation, or by a desire to see and mix With tlie world, wishes to leave toe community, he may withdraw any capital he brought it ; if lie brought noth­ing, he is presented Ms clothing and §100 in money.

All toe neighborhood objection to the community which once was rife, and threatened its expulsion, has died away. It is peaceful and well disposed, offend­ing in nothing but its method of propa­gating fhe species; and it gives consider­able employment, with the reputation of being a generous taskmaster. The peo­ple o f the county m which it is located no longer tMnk o f disturbing It. While they condemn one peculiarity of toe sys­tem glaringly at variance with, common practice and belief,' they acknowledge that its ways are the Ways of gentleness, and all its paths are peace. I f it expire, toe fatal blow will probably come from within, and it is questioned whether it will survive the death o f John Humphrey Hoyes, the present leader, who interprets toe scriptures for the community, and, while disavowing cMeftaincy, gives the little community laws. His genius holds them together,, and it is not thought that toe community contains such another.

One Illusion Less.Theories almost without number have

been invented to explain why young la­dies do not snore. Mr. Darwin thinks that no one snores unless lie sleeps lying on Ms personal back, and that, inasmuch as girls always sleep coiled up after toe custom of cats, they could not snore, even if they were willing to descend to such a depth, of baseness. This explanation is perfectly worthless. Mr. Darwin’s asser­tion as to toe position in wMch. girls sleep is a mere assumption. He has no evidence to support this assumption, and in the nature of things it is impossible that lie should have. any, and he ought to be ashamed of himself. Mr. Huxley pretends that the proximate cause of snoring is a relaxation o f toe muscles of the face. “The tightness with which toe female back hair is twisted prior to sleeping”—remarks this bold but too speculative naturalist— “ prevents the relaxation o f the muscles of the scalp and face, and'hence renders snoring impracticable. This is a beauti­ful provision o f Mature, and shows that the back hair is not merely an ornament, hut, like every other work o f Mature, serves a high and holy purpose.” I f toa Rev. Joseph Gook hadread theseremarks, with what joy would he have proceeded to tear Prof. Huxley’s argument to tatters. To _ say that girls do not snore because their hack hair is tightly twisted is to ig­nore tlie fact that the hack hair is always detached and hung on the back of a chair whenever its owner prepares for sleep. How, then, can it exercise any . possible influence upon snoring? Like Air. Dar­win, Prof. Huxley :is a very able man so long as he confines himself to extinct ani­mals, hut When he undertakes to discuss girls lie falls into abysses o f error. Appa­rently, he is perfectiy-unaware that back hair is detachable. “ Get thee to a nun­nery,” Prof. Huxley, and learn the* true nature o f back hair before building toeo- ies upon no better basis than your- own gnorance.

around the post-office the other day to see “Limpy Tim” conie among them in a quiet way, and to hear liim say; |

Meat Trade H itli England.Many of onr people expressed toe opin­

ion, :a year ago, says the.Rational Live Stock Journal, that tlie shipment o f live cattle, sheep and hogs, and of fresh meats, from tliis country to England, was only a sort of sporadic venture that would speed­ily die out; that it could not be carried on permanently wiih profit either to producer. or consumer; and that as soon as tlie nov­elty of the'Venterprise'Swore, off,, and it ceased to attract: Attention in both coun­tries, it would cease entirely. But tliis view appears-to have been just fhe-oppo- gite to the true one. The business has had .a .steady :growth from its inception; and ejqierience. has demonstrated that, as a business transaction, it is a profitable one to both countries.•; A late, number o f the RTortli British Ag­riculturist, in speaking o f this trade, says that so; far from showing to y signs of fall­ing off, it appears to be rapidly on toe ifi-

There Is being some talk about a series o f grand receptions for General Grant upon his return from Europe, the first to take place at Boston soon after his arrival, and t o be entirely non-partisan in their character.

On Monday a bill was brought be­fore Congress authorizing Secretary Sherman to use the $10,000,000 legal tenders held fo r the redemption o f fractional currency, for the payment o f 5.20 bonds.

Senator M orrill lias a b ill before the .Senate looking to the establishment o f a Postal Savings banks, or some­thing similar. The measure Is likely to be very popular, making a safe de­pository o f funds in small sums, and giving a low rate o f interest.

President Hayes has appointed Hen­ry S.

There is no; certainty of: the appointment being confirmed by the Senate for his reputation fo r noble­ness o f character is not first-class.

Tuesday the Senate, by a vote o f 89 to 21, passed a b ill to repeal Section l,21S o f revised Statutes, which provid­ed that “no person who has served in any capacity in the military, naval or civil sendee o f the so-called Conf eder­ate States, or either o f the States in insurrection during the rebellion, shall be appointed to any position in the armv o f the U nited States.”

The tw o Silver dollars: are likely to m ake more; trouble and discussion in oongress than ail o f the business o f the session.

Mr. Port, o f Illinois, lias introduced a bill in the H ouse instructing the committee on banking and currency to withdraw the circulation o f all banks who refuse to receive the stand­ard silver dollar on deposits the same as any other currency, or propose to follow the, rules adopted by the New Y brk Banking Association a few weeks since. This is a little after the pattern o f the Pxench who imprisoned those w ho refused to receive their legal-ten­der assignats at their face value.

THE NATIONAL BANES AID SIL­VER.

Representative Bvicker, Chairman o f the House Committee on Currency and Banking, has prepared a bill fo r the H ouse that, opens w a r on the National Banks.

PCs bill provides that the Secretary o f the Treasury shall prepare an issue o f Treasury notes equal in amount to the circulation o f the national banks on the 1st day o f Pebruarynext, and as soon us they shall be: ready he shall forward them to the Assistant Treas­urers at N ew Y ork, Boston, Philadel­phia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, and other places, w ith instructions to cease to pay national bank notes in the disbursement o f public, fu n ds; but p a y out: legal-tenders instead, to issue legal-tenders f o r national bank notes upon application; and to transmit every thirty days all national bank notes in their possession to the Treas. urer fo r redemption Until the Whole circulation, shall be retired.

"When the Treasurer o f the United States receives these notes, he is to count, examine, and assort them, and; when he has: received notes o f any na­tional bank to the amount o f $5,000 he shall deliver to such bank an equal am ount o f legal-tender notes or an equal amount o f the U nited- States bonds belonging: to such banks, and; held by the Treasurer to secure its cir­culation., A n y bank, when its circula­tion-" shall; be retired, is authorized to exchange its bonds for legal-tenders.

The Secretary o f the Treasury is au­thorized to use the m oney received from national hanks in exchange fo r the bonds, in> the redemption o f such bonds, at.their market value.

The bill provides that after it be­com es a law , legal-tender notes shall he receivable fo r customs dirties; and: also provides fo r the repeal o f tlie .act o f June 20, 1874, requiring national "banks to deposit w ith the; Treasurer, o f the U nited States lawful money equal to five per centum o f their cir­culation fo r redemption purposes.

On Monday, la s t he issued another h ill by which, the" -Secretary o f the Treasury is directed .to purchase not 'less than S7;000,000 worth o f silver bullion monthly a t -market rates, and coin the same with standath silver

I t is now deliberately proposed to ship to Am erica thousands o f men whom Germany can no longer endure; men whose pestilential doctrines threaten destruction to the family, to property, to home, to society itself; men, themselves the pests o f the com­munity, Avho are infecting; their com­rades, and especially the young, with the fever o f license and destruction, w ith hatred o f law and right, o f God and; man t These outcasts o f European, society, these cast-off rags all steeped w ith infection, are to be dumped in cargoes upon the shores o f the U nited States to spread their poison over the whole land., I warn m y countrymen o f the danger and beg them betimes to apply the remedy. "What the remedy is it is easy to see; and Congress is empowered by the Constitution to ap­ply It. "We enforce a quarantine against contagious diseases, we prohi­bit the importation of. cattle suspected o f the plague, w e refuse the landing upon our shores o f criminals emptied from foreign ja ils ; let us now set lip a m oral quarantine; against German So­cialists.

Now, in this case, the reasons are m ost forcible and urgent. F irst o f all, the interests o f labor in Am erica de­mand that some restraint shall be put upon, immigration. * * *' A lready be­fore the w ar it seemed to me that We were stimulating im migration beyond ou t national power o f absorption, and thereby deceiving foreigners, w-ronging our native workmen, and precipitating upon ourselves the evils o f the Old "World. The painful experiences o f the past five years have verified these forebodings. "When the pinch came at proved, that we had more workmen than work, more land in farms than markets fo r produce, more o f everybody and everything than w e were able to provide for and sustain. "We do not need a million morelabOrers to be brought into the country. There: is nothing fo r them to do. "Workmen w ill increase fast enough by natural laws when the demand fo r production and the opportunities fo r labor shall increase unde*: normal, conditions of trade.

Next, the safety o f the common­wealth, and; the prosperity o f all forms o f industry, require that the Socialists o f Germany shall be refused admission into the United States. There is a great hue and cry for checking Chinese immigration. B ut whatever m ischief may be in this the Chinese do not assail our political institutions, do not' swell the army o f voters led by demagogues, do not make war upon society. They only ask to be let alone in their work. But these German Socialists would go to Am erica not primarily to work, but to Vote, and up to the legal, time of voting to agitate for the overthrow of society and the realization o f that communistic scheme o f robbery and anarchy which they are balked in at­tempting in their native land, * * * The task o f keeping them out is easy enough. L et it be announced that no immigrant from Germany shall be per­mitted to land in the U nited States who does not bring a Certificate from the police, attested by an A m erican Consul, that ho is not a “Social Dem o­cratic,” and that any vessel bringing an im m igrant without such certificate shall be fined. $500 each offense. I f Congress w ill pass such a law, to take effect immediately; and order it to be notified to the German Government, it w ill .perform a duty o f patriotism and o f public safety that will deserve the thanks o f the whole country, and especially o f the honest workmen o f every class and nationalitY.

STATE I TERS.

The N ew Y ork Sun, which has been considered: very good Dem ocratic au­thority, seems to bo discouraged at the situation, and frantically and sarcastic­ally says “ the Bepublican party has lived fo r the last dozen years only through the Imbecility and blundering o f the democracy.” The Chicago Times takes up the text and proceeds to preach a sermon on the total depravi­ty which seems to prevail among the leaders o f theDemocratic party. Am ong other things it says “their cardinal principle seems to he that a majority o f the people are depraved enough to go w ith the party which is most likely to produce cheating or some other form o f deviltry on a national scale.” To prove this it says, “ I f the Demo­cratic part}7 had had the moral virility and mental capacity to array itself on the part o f freedom, justice and hon­esty twenty-five years ago, and to stay on that side, the Bepublican party would never- have lived at all. The Bepublican party was bom , and has ever since lived, through the, perverse propensity o f the Democratic party to get on the wrong side o f every impor­tant political, question and stay there. Its last performance was to get on the wrong; side o f the currency question, and make itself the party: o f dishonest public financiering; and i f reports from Washington are true, its manag- mg^spirita are determined to keep on thelyrong side o f that question.. The men who dictate Dem ocratic party policy seems to be completely infatu­ated with the notion that the way fbr a party to w in is to make itself the champion o f some species o f wrong or rascality, and that success sanctifies a party, no matter how abominable its doctrine and. purposes.”—Lansing lie- publican.

The I nter Ocean, as a politic il j m rnal, stands con* fossedly at the head o f the Republican ire«s o f the W est, and as a readable and reliable newBp*perluu a reputation second to none. W h ile .lt hac never waver­e d in the support o f party principles, has never failed to do its fu ll duty in critical times, and has never hesi­tated to strike bard blows in defense o f the Republi­can cause, I t has never ceased to be a good newsp'ip r f independent ot all po iti'cal aud party considerations

Wliiit Is a “ Team?”Tlie Court o f Queen’s "Bench, were ro-

ceatly called upon to give a legal defini­tion to the -word “ team.” A. tenant o f an English duke had agreed, as a -part o f his rent payment; to furnish at sundry times “one day’s team work with two horses and one proper person.”

On one ocoason the duke’s manager de­sired the farmer to send a cart to fetch coals from a railway station to the ducal man­sion. The farmer offered to furnish two horses and a man, hut insisted that the duke should supply the cart. “There can’t he a ‘team’ without a cart or wagon,” said the manager. “ Oh,, yes, there canl” replied the farmer, “ the horses aTe the team.”

Both parties were honest, and both were obstinate, and so law was asked to decide which definition o f a “ team” was correct, the duke's or farmer’s. A jury said the duke's, hut the farmer asked the Court o f Queen’s Bench it the jury were not quite as incorrect as was the duke.

The Court heard learned lawyers, argue, and also discussed among themselves, “What is a team?” Poetry and lexicons were appealed to. One” judge quoted these lines to show that the team is sepa­rate from the cart:“ Giles Jelt was sleeping1. In Ms cart he lay. Some waggish pilfrers stole Ms team away. Giles wakes and cries, 'Oils bodkins, what is

here?Why, how now; a m i Giles or not?I f he, I ' v e lost six get lings to my smart;I f not, Ods Bodkins, I ’ ve found aeartl* ”

Another judge quoted a line from Wordsworth:

“ My jolly team will work alone fo r me.”Horses, said the learned judge, might

he “jolly,” hut a cart cannot. Whereupon, the counsel for the tlnke gave the judge1 “a Howland” for his “ Oliver” by citing Gray’s lines:“ Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield,

Their furrow o ft the stubborn, glebe hath broke:

How jocund did they drive their team afield.How bow’d the wood beneath their sturdy

strokol”But the farmer’s lawyer “capped” that

quotation with several citations from, the poets. Prom Spenser:“Thee a ploughman all unmeeting found,As ho his toilsome team that way did guide. And brought thee up a plowman’s state to

bide.”From. Shakspeare:

“ We fairies that do run.B y the triplet Hecate’s team,

Prom the presence o f the sun. Following darkness like a dream.”

PromDryden:“A ny number, and passing In a line.Bike a long team o f snowy swans on high. Which clap their wings and cleave the: liquid

sky.”The judges decided two to one that the

farmers’ definition o f “ team” was correct; and then, as i f to add another to the many illustrations o f the “glorious uncertainty o f the law,” said they would hear the case over again.

The case shows die importance o f put­ting down in a written agreement just what is agreed upon, and o f eschewing all ambigious words.

Good Complexions.In writing o f Madam Bnchel and her

victims, the London Medical Examiner takes occasion to point out the silliness o f those women who think that there is any artificial method Of preserving the beauty o f the complexion by enamelling and such like processes. It says that the complex­ion. is dependent on, the quality and quan­tity o f tile blood In the skin, and the con­dition of the cells Of the skin through which the 'blood is seen. The way to ensure having a proper quantity o f healthy blood in the skin is to rise early, to be much in the open air, especially during the hours o f sunlight, to avoid over-heat­ed, artificially lighted, unventilated rooms, and to retire early to rest. To keep the cells which protect the skin In a natural state, all that is necessary is to wash the surface o f the body with soap and water only, or, in the case o f some delicate skins, which the alkali o f most soaps irritates, with water alone. ‘Whoever will attend to these directions will do all that can be done to preserve, as all ought to try and preserve, their skin in the most healthy, and therefore, beautiful condition.

Beef Ten.Erof. Pepper, in a lecture: on. typhoid

fever, in the Philadelphia Medical Times, observes : “Indeed, as has been very thor­oughly proven by Dr. Horace Hare, in experiments made at the University lab­oratory, beef boiled in the good old-fasb- ioned way in a bottle with water gives ns a resulting solution which contains: only about one-fourth o f one per Cent o f nour­ishing material. The beef tea thus man­ufactured is chiefly a solutiou o f the salts o f meat; and is, therefore, not nutritive; and only valuable as a stimulant to di­gestion. But there is another way of: milking: beef tea which gives better re­sults. Take a quantity o f tender meat, and, after cutting off the fat; chop it1 up fine, put it in a bowl, pour a pint o f water over it, and let it stand over night. It may possibly be well to keep the water just on a simmer ; do not raise the tem­perature above 140 degrees, however, or you w ill coagulate all the albumen, and so either leave it On the sieve in straining, or introduce It into the stomach in the form o f curds. After this simmer­ing solution has been allowed to stand over night, pour'it into a pipkin and heat it again gently, with enough salt to give it flavor, and, i f necessary, add. a drop or two o f muriatic acid. Then pour it out over a hair sieve into a jar. The result­ing solution w ill contain, all the nutri ­ments possible, and is the most valuable kind o f stimulant and laxative.

Agriculture in Cyprus.

This new acquisition of Great Britain contains at the present time 16,000 pairs of oxen (which is equivalent to one hegd. o f cattle to every six inhabitants), 550,000 sheep, and from 4,000 to 5,000 horses. The horses are described as being very small, not at all well shaped,, and having exceeding long coats. There are also 10,- 000 mules o f a very superior kind, about 50,000 asses, which are bold in great es­teem on account of their strength and good temper, and some 2,000 camels, which, with the mules, carry nearly all the goods transported from one yoart o f the » island to another. It is estimated that only about half the 1,500,000 acres of land fit for1 cultivation are at present made to yield any crops,: the annual yield of which. 13 placed at a value o f §3,478,800, includ­ing about §1,00,000 for wheat, §800,000 for barley, §160,000 for vetches, $20,000 for oats, §400,000 for pork, poultry and dairy produce, $200,000 for wine, and §160,000 for olive oil. The cultivation of Bilk, tobacco and wine has declined very much, owing to the: disease among the silk worms, and the exactions o f the Turk­ish tax-gatherers; and it may be assumed that the grain: crops may be much in­creased, fo r when the "Venetians occupied Cyprus they grew four times as much wheat and barley as the island produced last year.

A recent; traveler in Palestine: was as­tonished by the number and preservation o f roads, built In tho Roman era, They were laid out on all main routes, and were constructed so perfectly that in many sec­tions they endure to-day as well as i f fin­ished not long ago. The country o f Pal­estine was one o f the most difficult sort to carry a system o f roadways over,, arid yet its obstacles were surmounted, with the. least possible expenditure o f labor. Every route was1 curbed on each side bylines of stones projecting from one to two feet above: the surface o f the soil ; between, these: boundaries the avenue was paved; streams were crossed by bridges, . whose: style remains preserved alone in those of. Italy to the presenthour—as, for example, those o f Venice; valleys were traversed by viaducts,and. causeway?carried..the line, up or down mountain sides; either • by piers o f masonry or in channels sufficiently wide cut out d f living rook. Often zig­zags and steps Were resorted to in climb­ing steep ascents. ■ Whenever '-the- street passed over solid rock, the wear o f char­iot wheels in the course of, timemade ruts,, which remain to-day as plain and deep as* when the last car passed over:

The Berrien County Rebord, Buchanan, Michigan, Thursday, December 12,

. Lightning.The last summer was remarkable, for

the number and violence of its thunder­storms, and the next census will probab­ly Show an unusually large proportion of deaths from lightning-stroke. It is not commonly known what is the proportion o f persons killed in this way in tho Uni­ted States, says the 'World, but the statis­tics o f the subject are easily attainable from the census tables, and Jo give some notion of them it: is only necessary to say that: in 1870— an average year—202 deaths occurred from this cause, and dur­ing, the, same period only 203 persons committed suicide by poison, 251 by fire­arms; and 183 by cutting their throats. In 1860,191 persons were killed by light­ning, and 131 committed self-murder with poison, 112 with firearms and 82 by throat-cutting. These statistics will seem remarkable to people who read newspa­pers and find hardly a day passing in which suicides are not recorded in all of these ways. They are: striking also from the fact that whereas lightning is a work during but two or three months o f the year, suicides with poison, pistol and knife haveno one season which is peculi­arly their own—the notion that Novem­ber is a fatal month for the melancholy having been shown by Charles Moore in one o f the earliest works published on the statistics o f suicide to be false. Of course, in bringing lightning into com­parison with poison, pistol and the knife we do not mean to be. understood as speaking of the latter as if they were cos- mical causes o f death, but merely to show how the judgment may be deceived in such matters. Undoubtedly most peo­ple are accustomed to think that light­ning Is the cause o f the death'of incom­parably fewer persons than die o f poison administered bythemselves or o f throat- cutting or shooting, but investigation shows this belief is without foundation. In Prance, Where it is said by Dr. De Doismont that about one hundred thou­sand persons have died: by their own hands since the beginning o f fee-century, and where suicide is therefore prevalent, if we suppose that one out o f a hundred uses the pistol in the act,, we find that the proportion o f such deaths to the whole population: is less than one in 100,000 ; ana in the United States death by light­ning is about one in 250,000. The fig­ures are curious only because they show that among a people who are not in the habit o f killing themselves as compared with a people who are supposed to be ad­dicted to that habit,, lightning—a seem­ingly rare cause o f death—does so little less for the: latter than the. pistol does for the former. Among; ourselves they seem to he about equally efficacious.

A well-to-do undertaker o f San Francis­co owned a small house and lot in a block that was coveted by one o f the Pacific coast millionaires, who had built a palace there and wanted all the contingent land for a garden. He succeeded in getting, all except the undertaker’s property, which projected into the very heart o f his grounds and which its owner would not part with at what the millionaire consid­ered a fair price. Tho latter; therefore, erected a high fence, said to be the lofti­est in America, enclosing the obstinate undertaker's property on three sides, and depriving it almost entirely of sunshine. The undertaker trained vines to grow up tho wooden walls, and stood it coolly for a year or two. How; at last, his patience has given out; A few weeks ago he had his house removed bodily to another part Of the city, and, obstinate as ever, is about to put up a very tower o f Babel. The style of the proposed building, it is said, will be plain and substantial for the first five stones, but the remainder o f the tow­ering edifice, after rising above: the fence, will present a commingling o f renaissance, Gothic, and Babylonian architecture, sur­mounted with a section of Chinese pagoda. He declines to say to what uses he pro­poses putting this remarkable edifice; but it is believed that: the first and paramount use will be to torment the hitherto trium­phant millionaire.,

President: Washburn of Robert College, Constantinople, writes to the Independent that thus far the result of the fall o f Tur­key has been chaos. “Many parts o f the country,” he says, “ are in ruins—the towns burned, the inhabitants massacred or scattered. Everywhere the population has been reduced to poverty,' and all bus­iness has long been at a standstill. In many provinces: civil war is still raging between: fee different nationalities, ana all civil government has long since disap­peared. Tlie Central Government at Con­stantinople is in much the same condition. The. Sultan, trembles for his life, fee trea­sury is empty and bankrupt;'fee old sysj tem of government has'eome to amend, and those in power do not "se'o what is to take its place.’ ’ Dr. Washburn thinks that fee territory annexed to other coun­tries will rapidly improve under good government; but Asiatic Turkey will only s low ly rise in. civilization, even should. England exert herself" to influence re­forms.

We came across" a; boy fee otter day, who was wheeling homo a load, o f salmon and oyster cans, fig and almond and rai­sin boxes, and empty wine bottles. Cu­rious: to know what use the lad could put them to we made a direct inquiry. “ Go­ing to throw them: into our back yard,” replied the boy. “But what do you use ’em for?” “ It’s a trick o f the family,” grinned the lad. “How trick?” “Well, yer see,” continued fee boy, as; he_ moist­ened Ins hands before resuming his"hold of the barrow, “ we’re going to have some victors 'foom the country.

Gymnastics In Italy.The study and practice of gymnastics

are tobe made: compulsory in all "the State schools in Italy. The apostle of physical; culture in that enervating climate is Seb­astian Fenzi, the son of a Florence hanker. He built a gymnasium at his own expense in feat city, and, from that beginning, the movement lias extended from city to city. He has preached gymnastics to senators and deputies, to the syndic and municipal councillors; andnveu to the crown princess, uow queen. He especially inculcates its advantages on all mothers i>f families, as likely to a, reinarkbale extent the personal charms of their daughters. And so far as his own domestic experience goes, his theo­ries have not been contradicted by prac­tice, for he is fee father o f the most beau­tiful women in Italy.

G. P. Sanderson, fee Officer in charge o f fee English elephant-catching establish­ment in Mysore, says that elephants travel in herds and in strict Indian file. When a calf is horn, fee herd remains w ife the mother two days; the calf is then able to march and can cross rivers and climb hills with fee assistance of its dam. They are fine swimmers. Mr. Sanderson says feat a herd o f seventy-nine which lie sent across the country had the Ganges and several o f its large tidal, branches to cross. In fee longest swim they were six hours without touching bottom. After a Test on a sand hank they completed the swim in three more. Hot one was lost. Twice around an elephant’s foot is said to he his height, and generally this measurement is correct. There size is generally exagge­rated. Tne largest Mr. Sanderson ever saw was nine feet ten inches high at fee shoulder.

Electrotypes o f the Brains."Among the novelties to be seen at the

Paris Exhibition is a series o f specimens of plated human brains Sent by Dr. Ore, the ingenious Professor o f Physiology at fee Bordeaux. School o f Medicine. Dr. Ore has applied galvano-plasty fbr pur­poses of preservation to fee brains o f men and animals, and has obtained very re­markable results, fee external surface presenting the hard brilliant surface o f a metal, while fee inner substance assumes fee consistency o f mastic, and is quite unalterable.

The two Messrs. S., father and son dis­tinguished lawyers o f Boston, are noted for quick temper and quick wit. They rarely meet without an amicable passage at arms. Last week young S. was mak­ing a call at fee paternal mansion, when a cur of his father’s attacked him, and received a kick which sent him howling down fee staircase. The noise brought out the old man from his lair, and the following colloquy ensued: S. Senior— “What aid you kick my dog for?” S. junior—“He bit me.” S. Senior— “He didn’t bite you." S. Junior—“/ didn’t kick him.”

Quite recently a distinguished French chemist has performed a series of experi­ments which seem to show most conclu­sively feat plants do absorb nitrogen di­rectly from the air by means both of their leaves and roots, under certain electric conditions o f the atmosphere and soil which contradicts the theory announced by Liebig “ that plants though deluged in a sea of nitrogen were not able to appro­priate any of it directly.” Thus is ex­ploded another “scientific fact.”

Feminine patience in piecing patch-work bed-quilts, is rivalled by John Dutton, a bachelor, who keeps house for himself in Shelburne Hollow, Yt. He has pieced up one containing 6,747 pieces, and another which numbers 8,515. He is now at work On. one which when completed will con­sist o f from 12,000 to 20,000 pieces, each One inch square. ‘, John” is a good house­keeper, and takes pride in his preserves and pickles.

“Another old citizen gone.” We saw him only this' morning, too—with a rod over his shoulder. His step was firm and elastic, his cheeks blooming wife health, and his pistol pocket bulging out wife a receptacle containing bait for something. And now he’s gone—gone a fishing;

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

S y m p to m s o f a D is e a s e d L iv e r .

PAIN in the right side, under the edge o f the ribs, increases on pres­

sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top o f the shoulder, and is ‘sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss o f appe­tite and sickness; die bowels in gen­eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the hack part There is generally a considerable loss of mem­ory, accompanied with a painful sen­sation o f having left undone some­thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains o f weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains o f a prickly sensa­tion o f the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer­cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several o f the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few o f them ex­isted, yet examination o f the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged.

A G U E A N D F E V E R .D r, C. M cL ane ’s L iver P ills, in

cases of A gue and F ever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to-give them a f a i r trlal.

For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
