Becoming somewhat alarmed atbis strange proceedings, his son-in-lawsoon followed him home, and reportedthe matter to Mr. Chase'speople, whohad also noticed that he was quite des-pondent and bad threatened to end hislife, and every precaution was taken toprevent it. His razor aud knives werehid, bit in some manner he eludedtheir viligence and had secreted abutcher knife in his bed room. Mon-day morning he sat down to breakfastwith his familyT but soon arose fromthe table remarking that 1>A could noteat and started for the bed room. Hiswife fearing something wrong, startedafter him, but lie reached tlie roomfirst, shut mid locked tbe door; Oneof his sous rushed around to the outside window, and his wife, with othermembers of the family, succeeded inbreaking open the door but too late,ushe had already cut a great gash iu histhroat not however, reaching the jng-lar. physicians were immediately sun *moned, who dressed and stitched upthe wound, and strong hopes are en-tertained of bis recovery, although hisadvanced age,64 years, and fe-itle con-dition may prove too much for medi-cal skill. He is the father of Mrs. 1?.A. llnughton o)2 this city .and duringhis frequent visit* here, had mademany warm friends who deeply sym-pathize with him aud his family iu the'rgreat affliction.

TALJIAGE'S SERMON.

An Interesting Discourse on theArt of Healing.

The D^«.»b ^' ILi ~;ii*j- ~-i-2 Those ofthe Sonl—The Earthly FhY»ld*

Core the Former; Chrt*t AloneCure the letter.

Jtev. T. DeWitt Talmage deliveredthe following discourse in the BrooklynAcademy of Music, taking lor his text:

The blind receive their sigbt^and the iaiuewalk, the lepers are cleamecL and the deafhear.—Matthew Ii. 5,

"Doctor," I said to a distinguishedsurgeon, "do you not fret worn out withconstantly seeing so many wounds andbroken bones and distortions of thehuman body?" "Oh, no," he answered,"all that is overcome by my joy in cur*ing them." A sublimer or more merci-ful art never came down from Heaventhan the art of surgery. Catastropheand disease entered the earth so earlythat one of the first wants of the worldwas a doctor. Our crippled and agon-ized human race called for surgeon andfamily physician for many years beforethey came. The first Burgeons whoanswered this call were ministers of re*ligion, namely, the Egyptian priests.And what a grand thing if all clergy-men were also doctors, all D. D.'s wereM. D.'s, for there are so many cases.where body and soul need treatment atthe same time, consolation and medi-cine, thteology and therapeutics. Asthe first surgeons of the world were alsoministers of religion, m«y these twoprofessions always be in full sympathy!But under what disadvantages the earlysurgeons worked, fro*» the fact that thedissection of the human body was for-bidden, first by the pagans and then bythe early Christians! Apes, being thebrutes most like the human race, weredissected, but no human body might beunfolded tor physiological and anatom-ical exploration and the surgeons had toguess what was inside the temple bylooking at the outside of iti If theyfailed in any surgical operation theywere persecuted aod driven out of thecity, as was Archagathus because of hisbold but unsuccessful attempt to save apatient

But the world from the very begin*niiur kept calling for surgeons, andtueir first skill is spoken of in Genesis,where they employed their art for theincisions of a sacred rite, God making«urgery the predecessor of baptism; andTvce see] it again in IL Kings, whereAhaxiah. the monarch, stepped on some•cracked lattice-work in the palace, andit-broke, and he fell from the upper tothe lower floor, and he was so hurt thathe sent to the village of Ekron for aid;and Esculapius, who wrought such won-der* of surgery that be was deified, andtemples were built for his worship atPergaraos; and Epidaurus and Ponde-liriug introduced for the relief of theworld phlebotomy; and Damoeedescured the dislocated ankle of King Da-rius, and the cancer of his Queen; andHippocrates put successful hand onfractures, and introduced amputation;and Praxagoras removed obstructions;and Herophilus begun dissection; andErasistratus removed tumor**; and Cel-sus, the Roman surgeon, removed cata-ract from the eye, and used the Spanishfly; and iieliodorus arrested disease ofthe throat; and Alexander, of Tralles,treated the eye; and Rhazas cauterizedfor the prevention of hydrophobia; andPercival Pott came to combat diseasesof the spine; and in our own century wehave had a Roisx and a Laray in France,and Astley Cooper and an Aberneithy

. in Great Britain, and a Valentine Motiand Willard Parker and Samuel B.Gross in America, and a galaxy of liv-ing surgeons as brilliant as their pre-decessors. What might progress in thebaffling of disease since the crippledand sick of ancient cities were laidalong the streets, that people who hadever been hurt or disordered in the.same way might suggest what had bet-ter be done for the patients; and thepriests of old time, who were constantlysuffering from co1(1s received in walk-ing barefoot over the temple pave-ments, had to prescribe for themselves,and fractures were considered so far be-yond all human cure that instead ofcalling in the surgeons the people onlyinvoked the gods!

But notwithstanding all the surgicaland medical skill of the world, withwhat tenacity the old diseases hang onto the human race, and most of themare thousands of years old, and in ourBibles we read of them; the carbunclesof Job and Hezeki?h; the palpitation ofthe heart spoken of in DeuUsiuuvuiy,the sun-stroko of a child carried fromthe fields of Shunem, crying: "Myhead! my head!" King- Asa's disease ofthe feet, which was nothing but gout;defection oi teeth, that called for dentalsurgery, the skill of which, quite equalto any thing modern, is still seen intlie filled molars of the unrolled Egyp-tian mummies;th$ ophthalmia caused bythe juice of the newly ripe fig, leavingthe people blind at the roadside; epi-lepsy, as in the case of the young mr»noften falling into the fire, and oft intothe water; hypochondria, as of Nebu-chadnezzar, who imagined himself anox, *»nd going out to the fields to past-ure; the withered hand, which iu Bibletinies, as now, came from the destruc-tion of tho main artery, or from paraly-sis of the chief nerve; the wounds ofthe men whom the thieves left for deadon the road to Jericho, and whom thegood Samaritan nursed, pouring in oiland wine—wine to cleanse the wound,and oil to soothe iu Thank GtxL for

what surgery b as done for the allevia-tion and care of human suffering.

But the world wanted a surgery with-out pain. Drs. Parre and Hickman andSimpson aud Warner and Jackson, withtheir amazing genius, came on,and withtheir anaesthetics benumbed the patientwith narcotics and ethers aa the ancientsdid with hasheesh and mandrake, andquieted him for awhile, but at the returnof consciousness distress returned. Theworld has never seen but one surgeonwho could straighten the crooked limb,cure the blind eye, or reconstruct thodrum of a soundless ear, or reduce adropsy, without any pain at the time,or any pain after, and that surgeon wasJesus Christ, the mightiest, grandest,gentlest and most sympathetic surgeonthe world ever saw, or ever will" see;and He deserves the confidence and love,and worship and hosanna of all theearth, and hallelujahs of all Heaven."The blind receive their sight, and thelame walk; the lepers are cleaned andthe deaf hear."

I notice this Surgeon had a fondnessfor chronic cases. Many a surgeon,when he has had a patient brougfct~to~him, has said: "Why was not this at-tended to five years ago? You bringhim to me after all power of recupera-tion is goue? You have waited untilthere is a complete contraction of themuscles, and false ligatures are formed,and ossification has taken place. Itought to have been attended to long-ago." But Christ, the Surgeon; seemedto prefer inveterate cases. One was ahemorrhage of twelve years, and Hestopped i t Another was a curvature ofeighteen years* and He straightened i tAnother was a cripple of thirty-eight years, and he walked outwell The eighteen-year patientwas a woman bent almost double.If you could call a conventionof all the surgeons of all the centuries,their combined skill could not core thatbody so drawn out of shape. Perhapsthe^j might stop it from getting anyworse, perhaps they might contrivebraces by which she might be mademore comfortable, but it is, humanlyspeaking, incurable. Yet this DivineSurgeon put both His hands on her, andfrom that doubled-up posture she beganto rise, and the empurpled face beganto take on * healthier hue, and themuscles began to relax from their rigid-ity, and the spinal column began to ad-just itself, and the cords of the neck be-gan to be supple, and the eyes, thatcottld only see the ground before, nowlooked up into the face of Christ withgratitude, and up toward Heaven intransport. Straight! After eighteenweary and exhaustive years, straight!The poise, the gracefulness, the beautyof healthy womanhood reinstated.

The thirty-eight years' case was aman who lay on a mattress near themineral baths at Jerusalem. Therewere five apartments where lame peo-ple were brought so that they could petthe advantage of the mineral baths.The stone basin of the bath i» still visi-ble, although the waters have disap-peared, probably through some convul-sion of nature, the bath, one hundredand twonty feet long, forty feet wideand eight feet deep. Ah, poor man; ifyou have been l>tne and helpless thir-ty-eight years, that mineral bath cannot restore. But Christ, the Surgeon,walks along these baths, and I have nodoubt passes by some patients who havebeen only six months disordered, or ayear, or five years, and comes to themattress of tbe'isas-whd had bees near-ly four decades helpless, and to this thir-ty-eiirht years1 invalid said: "Wiltthoube made whole?"

In speaking of Christ as a Surgeon, Imust consider Him as an oculist, or eyedoctor, and an aurist, or ear doctor.Was there ever such another oculist?That He was particularly sorry for theblind folks, I take from the fact thatthe most of His work was with thediseased optic nerves. I have not timeto count up the number of blind peoplementioned who got His cure. Twoblind men in one house, also one whowas born blind; so that it was not re-moval of a visual obstruction, but thecreation of the cornea, and ciliarymuscle, and crystaline lens, andretina, and optic nerve, andtear gland; and the blind manof Bethsaida, cured by the saliva whichthe Surgeon took from the tip of Hisown tongue and put upon the eyelids;also two blind men who sat by the way-side. In our civilized lands we haveblindness enough, the ratic fearfully in-creasing, according to the statement ofBoston and New York and Philadelphiaoculists, because of the reading of morn-ing and evening newspapers on thejolting cars by the multitudes who liveout of the city and come in to business.But in the lands where this Divine Sur-geon operated, the case* of blindnesswere multiplied beyond every thing bythe particles cf sand floating in theair, and the night dews falling on theeyelids of those who slept on the topof their houses; and in some of theselands it is estimated that twenty out ofa hundred people are totally blind.Amid all that crowd of visionless peo-ple, what work for an oculist! And I donot believe that more than one out of ahundred of that Surgeon's cures werereported. Ho went up and down amongthose people who where feeling slowlytheir way by staff, or led by the handof man or rope of dog, and introducingthem to the faces of their ownhousehold, to the sunrise and the sun-set and the evening star. He just ranHis hand over the expressionless faceand the shutters of both windows wereswung open, ****d the restored, wenthome, crying: "I aAe! I seel Tiumk•God, I see!" *'

But ^his Surgeon was just as w<mdnr-ful as an aurist. Very few people havetwo good ears. Nine out of ten peopleare particular to get on this or thai sideof you when they sit or walk with you,because they have one disabled ear.Many have both ears damaged, andwhat with the constant racket of ourgreat cities, and the catarirhal troubiosthat sweep tb rough the land, it is re-markable that there are any good earsat all. Most wonderful instrument isthe human ear. It is harp and drumand telegraph and telephone andwhispering gallery all in one. So deli-cate and wondrous is its constructionthat the most difficult of all things toreconstruct is the auditory apparatus.The mightiest of scientists have puttheir skill to its re tuning, and some-times they stop the progress of its de-cadence, or remove temporary obstruc-tions, but not more than one really deafear out of a thousand is ever cured. Ittook God to make the ear, and it takesa God to mend it. That makes me curi-ous to see how Christ the Surgeon suc-ceeds as an aurist

We are told of only two cases Re oper-ated on. as ear surgeon. His friendPeteiv naturally high-tempered, sawChris" insulted by a man by the nameof Malchus, and Peter let his sword, fly,aiming at the man's head, but thesword slipped and hewed off the outsideear, and our Surgeon touched the lacer-ration and another ear bloomed in theplace of the one that had been slashedaway. But it is not the outside earthat hears. That is only a funnel forgathering sound and pouring it into thehidden and more elaborate ear. On thebeach of Lake Galilee our Surgeonfound a man de&f and dumb. The pa*tient dwelt in perpetual silence and wasspeechless. He could not hear a noteof music or a clap of thunder. He couldnot call father or mother cr wife or chil-dren by name. What power can wakenthat dull tympanum or reach that chainof small bones or revive that auditorynerve or open the gate between thebrain and the outside world? The Sur-geon pat His fingers in the 4eaf earsand agitated thenwand kept on agitat-ing them until the vibration gave vitalenergy to all the dead parts, and theyresponded, and when our Surgeon with-drew His fingers from the ears the twotunnels of sound were clear for allsweet voices of music and friendship.For the first time in his life he heardthe dash of the waves of Galilee.

What a grand thing for our poor hu-man race when this Surgeon shall havecompleted the treatment of all theworld's wounds! The day will comewhen there will be no more hospitals,for there will be nc sick, and no moreeye and ear infirmaries, for there willbe no more blind or deaf, and no moredeserts, for the round earth shallbe brought under arboriculture,and no more blizzards or sun-strokes, for the atmosphere willbe expurgated of scurch andchill, and no more war for the swordsshall come out of the foundry bent intopruning-hooks. While in the Heav-enly country we shall see those whowere the victims of accident or malfor-mation, or hereditary ills on earth, be-come the athletes in iiiysian fields.Who is that man with such brillianteyes close before the throne? Why,that is the man who, near 'ericho,was blind, and our Surgeon curedhis ophthalmia! Who is that erect andgraceful and queenly woman before thethrone? That rraa the one whom ourSurgeon found bent almost double, andcouH in no wise lift UD herself, and Hemade her straight. Who is that listen-ing with such rapture to the music ofHeaven, solo melting into chorus, cym-bal responding to trumpet, and thenhimself joining in the anthem? Why,that is the man whom our Surgeonfound deaf and dumb on the beachof Galilee, and by two touches openedear-gate and mouth-gate. Who is thataround whom the crowds are gatheringwith admiring look and thanksgiving,and cries of "Oh, what He did for me!Oh, what He did for my family! Oh,what He did for the world!" That isthe Surgeon of all the centuries, theoculist, the aurist, the emancipator, theSaviour. No pay He took on earth.Come,now, and let all Heaven Him paywith worship that shall never end, anda love th at shall never die. On Hishead be all the crowns! In His hands beall the scepters! and at His feet be allthe worlds!

Invitation* to Church S*rrl««.One of the leading churches of the

city has adopted a novel method of in-creasing its attendance. Each Satur-day evening a committee of gentlemenvisit the hotels and take off a list of theguests who are domiciled thero overSunday. A neatly-printed invitation toattend service at the church is inclosedin an envelope, sealed up and directedto each of these jruests. These are leftwith the clerk wUb. directions to placethem in tho boxes in the morning. Asetkiih . man COIB*S down to breakfastSunday morning ho finds a letter /orhimself. Opening it he discovers theinvitation. It excites his curiosity andin many cases the invitation is accepted.The plan has been in operation a shorttime only, but thus far has beea foundto work well.—Minneapolis Tribune.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

—To Cure Chilblain8.—Tfce followinghas been known to effect a speedy cure:Alcohol and spirits of turpentine, equalparts and ap^lj frequently.—TotedsBlade.

—Vinegar Taffy.—One cup sugar, on«cup molasses, one half cup vinegar, smallpiece of butter. Boil until it is brittlein watar. Cool in a shallow pan, ai 4cut in square*.^-Yankee Blade.

—Antipyrin," which has rapidly be-come & popular remedy for xnigrane,should be taken with care; its indis-criminate use by persons who have weakhearts is highly dangerous.—Oace aweek.

—Eoast Mutton.—Take a leg of mut-ton, wipe with a damp cloth, rub withsalt and pepper. Lay in a baking-pan,with a tea-cup of boiling water, set in ahot oven and baste frequently. Takeup, and season the gravy with mincedparsley, stir in grated cracker to thicken,—^arm and Fireside.

—Diet has a very great effect upon theclearness of the skin, as well as thegeneral health. A pie and cake eaterwill always have a muddy, pasty color.Of all the foods for beautifying the com-plexion, there is nothing that can com-pare with corn meal hasty pudding andmilk, with molasses as an occasionalchange.—The Home.

—Baked Stuffed Fish.—Wash thor-oughly and dry by rolling in a toweLSalt and pepper to taste; fill the cavitywith stuffing- sauce as used for fowl, sewtip and place In a baking-pan with acupful of boiling water and two ouncesof butter. Baste two or three timesduring one hour, which it will take tocook i t Serve with white gravy ormashed potatoes.—Indianapolis Senti*

A spoiled, selfishyMld :Aay berery dear to its parents, i#ut after theparents have passed away and the childhas become a disagreeable man or wom-an, what disinterested parties will'tol-erate the selfish tyrannical ways of sacha person?—American Agriculturist.

—Often, through carelessness, tatpages of valuable books became stained.An old grease spot may be removed byapplying a solution of caustic potash | othe back of the leaf. This may causethe printing to fade, but that can to re-stored by a weak application of muriaticacid; about twenty-five parts of-water tooae of acid. A fresh spot it removedeasily by chloroform or benxina, ^a&Vtk spots disappear by an application ofoxalic add and hot water, which will

V GIRL LIFE 4N INDIA.A B Existence) so Miserable as toHe Be-

yond Oar Comprehension.On the day of her marriage, the East

Indian girl is put into a palanquin, shutup tight, and carried to her husband'shouse. Hitherto she has been the spoil-ed pet of her mother; now she ia to bethr 1 ittl« siave of- her asother-ia-liw,upon whom she is to wait, whoso com-mands she is implicitly to obey, andwho teaches her what she is to do toplease her husband—what dishes holikes t>est and how to cook them.

If the mother-in-law is kind, she willlet the girl go home occasionally to visither mother. Of her husband she seeslittle or nothing. She is of no more ac-count to him than a little cat or dogwould be. Ttiero is seldom or never anylove between them, and, no matter howeruelly she may be treated, she cannever complain to her husband of anything his mother may do, for he wouldnever take his wife's part.

Her husband sends to her daily theportion of food that is to be cooked forber, himself and the children. Whenit is prepared, she places it on one largwbrass platter, and it is sent to her hus-band's room. He eats what he wishes,and then the platter is sent back withwhat is left for her and her children.They sit together on the ground and eatthe remainder, haring neither knives,forks, nor spoons.

While she is young, she is never al-lowed to go anywhere. The little girlsart married as youug as three years of ageand, should the boy to whom such childis married die the next day, she is calleda widow, and is from henceforth doomedto perpetual widowhood: she can nevermarry again. . As a widow, she mustnever wear any jewelry, never dress herhair, never sleep on a bed—nothing bat% piece of matting spread on the hardbrick floor, and sometimes, in fact, noteven that between her and the ooldbricks; and, no matter how cold ther.ight might bo, she must have no othercovering than the thin garment she hasworn during the day.

She must eat but one meal a day, andthat of the coarsest kind of food, andonce in two weeks she must fast twenty-four hours*, then not a bit of food nor adrop of water or medicine must pass herlips, not even if she were dying. Shemust never ait down nor speak in thepresence of h*r mother-in-law, unlesscommanded to &> so. Her food must belooked and eaten apart from the othera/omen's. She is a disgraced and de-graded woman. Sh© may never evenlook on at any o* flie marriage cere-monies or festivals. It would be an evil-omen for her to do so.

She may have been a high-casteBrahnrloic woman, but on her becominga widow, any, even the lowest servantsmay order her to do what they do notlike to do. No woman in the housemust ever spojticone word of love or pityto her, for it is supposed that if a womanshown the slightest commiseration to awidow sho will immediately Vccpme awidoT herself. ~ N , Y,

Texas Spring Palace*One of the most noteworthy events In the

'Texasat a glance" is the expression often used inconnection with this palace, and it is veryexpressive and comprehensive, as thepalace displays to great advantage all theresources of the "Lone Star State." Thepast twelve months have been the most re-markable in the history of development inTons. Unknown counties have been peo-pled and new towns and cities have sprangup almost in a day.

CORUNNA JOURNAL,GOBSVCB * WXLCM,

The PetroitTribune says: Congress-man BURROWS is enti'Jed to a g<*od&b*re of tbe credit of placing sugar outbe free list in tbe new tariff bill.When the house organized last Decem*berthed were only thn* memtor*of tbe ways and means committee infavor of free sugar, but Mr. BUBBOWS

and bis two allies fought vigorouslyfor the removal of all the duty on su-gar and when the bill was reported tothe house, seven of the eight Bepubii-canson the committee were for freesugar. There is no reason why tbepeople of this country should pay $56,000,003 annually to protect a purelylocal industry wheih can be equallywell protected by a bounty of two centsa pound at a cost of less than $6,000,-000. It is really tbe erowiug triu phof the bill and Michigan's representa-tive on the committee rendered excell-ent and appreciated service to thecountry in securing the much desiredresult.

IK the last Democratic convention ofof the Third Congressional District inPhiladelphia, which unantously reuom-inated Samuel J. Randal) for Congress,the following declaration was made:

"In all reductions, so far as tbe Tarifflaws are involved, the utmost eareshould be taken to cover folly the diff-

In the cost of production i s thisand other countries arising in the high-er wages paid in the United States, sothat the wage earner here shall not beplaced in unfavorable competition withthe cheap labor of other countries.We deprecate any tendency to Free*Trad©.'*

This language is in strange contrastto that used by other Democratic eon-venttons that year, but such a holdbad this honest, consistentmanonhisconstituent*, and so much did he en-joy theit confidence, that they wereglad to adopt bis views. Mr. Bandaliwas the friend of the working men.lie has stood up for them and theirj

interests for years. l ie was aUsnss*crat, but a stroug Protectionist whocould not be compelled to desert a pol-icy which be believed to be for thebest good of the wage-worker

Here is & letter concerning his voteon the' Mills bill:

Washington D. C. July 19, r *>.Mr OKA U. Sin: If a vote on Mr. Mill*7

Tariff bill is to be taken on Saturday,the 21st inst., I fear my strength, byreason of receut illness will not per-mit my presence in the house on thatday; and if absent, I want vou to se-cure me a pair wkh some one who fav-ors the bill, as I would, if present, re-c:>,d my vote in opposition to it. Givetins immedh>:v. care, as I do not wishto be misunderstood. I w.v.it, it an-n ed and distinctly known that Ia.n < posed to the passage of tbe billii question. Yours Truly,

Catarrhf S & blood disease. Until tne poison lai expelled from tbe system, jberc c«kbe no cure for this loathsome anddangerous malady. Therefore, the onlyeffective treatment is a thorough counteof Ayer's Sarsaparilia.—the be.stof allblood purifiers. The sooner you beginthe better; delay is dangerous*

" I was troubled with catarrh for ore*two years. I tried rmrioos remedies*Mid was treated by s> nnmber ci physi-dans, but received, no benefit until Ibegan to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Afew bottles of this medicine cured me ofthis troublesome complaint and com-pletely restored my health."— Jesse M*Boggs, Holinan's Mills, N.

*When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec-omraeuded to me for catarrh, I was in-clined to doubt its enicacy. H»viu{(triod so many remedies, with little ben*efit, I had no faith that anything wouldcare tne. I became emaciated from lossof appetite and impaired digestion. Ibad nearly lost the sense of smell, andmy system was badly deranged. I wasabout discouraged, when a friend urgedsne to try Ayer's Sarsapariila, and re-ferred me to persons whom it had coredof catarrh.

When the meeting adjourned therewas such a hopeful feeling among themen as has not been equalled since thetrouble began. The men claim now thatthe railroad officials have virtuallyrecognized the Federation and that onepoint has been'gained.

Said President Hawley: "The wageswe will accent are embodied in our listof grievances^ T'his list is our ultima-tum." From another source it is learnedthat the grievance committee will en-deavor to secure further concession fromthe railroads tceday. A failure in thisit is said will result in a conflict.

lmtlon Proposed by CongM*.WASHXXGTOX, April 21.—Secretary

Windom has addressed a letter to awestern correspondent in answer tocomments and inquiries about the pres-ent status of the silver question. TheSecretary, discussing the pending meas-ures before Congress, and the silverquestion generally, says:

"The bill recommended by the Treas-ury Department was framed mainly fortwo purposes. First, to meet the de-mand for an increase of circulation, andsecond, to enhance the value of silverby providing for it an additional andsafe use as money. If approved by Con-gress it will, in my judgment, accom-plish both of these objects and at thesame time afford a fair and just basisfor harmony of action on the silverquestion. To the silver interest itoffers every substantial benefit that c&nbe granted without peril to our finan-cial system, and far greater advantagesthan can be found in free coinage. Tothose who demand 'more money'it offersan annual increase of from $50,000,000 tc$60,000,000. To those who insist upon asound currency, it gives the amplestguarantees against degradation of theAmerican dollar. But to those whewould inflate the currency by injectinginto it a large volume of money withoutadequate safeguards against deprecia-tion, it offers no comfort whatever.And right here is found the secret ofmuch of the opposition to some of it*redemption features.

"In reply to your friendly criticisms,let me invite your attention to the ex-traordinary concessions which are of-fered to the silver sentiment of thecountry:

"First, it is proposed to absorb all thesilver produced by the mines and reduc-tion works of the United States, there-by withdrawing from the market nearlyone-half of the entire silver product ofthe world and thus greatly enhancingthe value of the whole.

"Second.' Not content with this con-cession, which ia surely without a par-allel as to any other product, the Senatecommittee insists that the Governmentshall be compelled to purchase $4,500,000worth of silver each month, making$54,000,000 a year, which, with theamount heeded for the arts and for ourtrade with China, will exce9d our own.production by about ten millions perannum. How is this excess to be ob-tained? Only by purchase from abroad.In the event of an unfavorable balanceof trade, when our gold will be mostneeded at home, we shall W compelledto export ten jnillions of gold which wewill then sorely need, to pay for tenmillions of silver which we will notneed at all. This compulsory purchaseof so great an amount will make theTreasury Department the largest opera-tor in the mo3t gigantic 'corner- ever or-ganized.

"Third, the bill reported by the Housecommittee provided that notes issuedfor silver bullion shaft be redeemed instandard silver dollar*, if demandod bythe holder. Tbis will give to the ownersof silver bullion the power to convert

I pleasure. True, there is not the slight-est danger that this power will be exer-cised, because no sane man will preferto convert treasury notes, which thoGovernment is bound to redeem in goldor its equivalent, into standard silverdollars, unless he may want a limitednumber of them for some specific pur-pose. Under this bill the Governmentwill not force silver dollars into circu-lation, >*nt it will permit any one tohave coined as many of them as he canpay for with treasury notes. What morecan the advocates of silver coina<re de-mand?"

*'For all these unparalleled conces-sions to the silver interests, what is de-manded in retura? Only the privilegeof protecting the honor and credit of thenation by a grant of power to redeem itsnotes in either gold or in its equivalentof silver bullion. All of the bills on thissubject contemplate a policy to extendover au indefinite period, and which will

If the balance of trade shallturn against us, or if distrust shall ariseas to our ability to pay in gold, as it sure-ly will uader such a provision of law,or it for any other reason we shall beunable to redeem in gold when de-manded, the Government will be com-pelled to discriminate against silver dol-lars, when gold will at once command apremium, and this nation will step downfrom its present proud position, and takeits place on the financial basis of China,India and South America.

SCHOOL-BOY WIT.

Extracts From Some RemarkableJuvenile Compositions.

The first literary example which IRive is au extract from the esitay of aboy in the Third Standard of the school.He was nearly thirteen years of age,but, as the parents had for many yearssucceeded in evading the compulsoryelause of the Education Act by means of•'doctors' certificates." frequent remov-als, etc., the lad was only fit for theabove low standard. The subject forcomposition was the "Childhood ofMoses."

The lad's effusion opens as follows:"It was not in England where all

about little Moses happened, but in aplace what the Bible says is Egypt.There is a big river called the Kile runsright through the middle of it, whichoverflose its banks every year reglar.Likewise bullrusbes and crockodiles."

After giving an account of the King'sproclamation that all Hebrew male chil-dren should be cast into the river, thelad continues:

4'Now little baby boy Moses had ft sit-ter about sixteen, and a father andtoother which was Jews. And Mosesmother couldn't abare todrownd herlittle boy, so she made a cradle same asthey used to make arks. Then she puther little baby in this here cradle, andcarried it to the river, and put it on thewater amongst some bulrushes so as itcouldn't float down. And who do youthink as it was that used to sit on thegrass all day long watching as it didn'tget loose? It was that there sisterMirium what I said he had. She was avery good young woman and did notbind the cold grass, because she knewas she was in the right, and that theKing would be perhaps slain.

••This wicket King had a daughter, asyou would think she was. She used togo in bathing- same 33 boys, only shedidn't swim. She only just went in upto about her knees, and then used to putthe water over hor head down her body,and then used to tell the other womenand her father as she had been in. Thewomen could not &ee how far she hadbeen in, because of the bulrushes whichyou have seen on the wall.

'One morning she got undrcsst whereMirium was sitting oa the grass, andshe walked straigt in up to her kneesto where the cradle was. When she sawhim she took him up into her arms andran back to-tho bank shooting out as shebad found A baby while she was swim-aiing. The women all came around,and.Mirium edjed in among them. The ladywas so pleased as she had got a baby,that she didn't get dresst tili she hadsettled things. But it was not hers,because it was not wrought. Only found.

"And Mirium Said: 'Pharoh's daugh-ter, shall 1 go and find a nurse for ycnr.>(

aud U the lady didn't go and say yos

•traigt ftff. Then Mir; im run f.way fastas you, and who do you think she fetch*ed for a nurse? Moseses mother, aa h*ihad had bim brought him to her.

"And l'haroh's daughter .aid untoher: 'I will actshully give you wajjes fornursing this baby.' And so Mosesesmother nursed her own little baby with-out laughing, fear she should be foundout aad not get good wages.**

The essay winds up with a brief a©-count of Moses' lifo in the royal palace,and concludes with the sentence: "Thisis the childhood of Moses. '

The answer which a child once ren-dered me during a physiology lesson,partakes, perhaps, more of the patheticthan the humorous.

I was giving a lesson upon the humanheart, aud as is my wont, in order to makemy teaching as demonstrational andpractical as possible, I procured for thelads' inspection the most approximateexemplification of the subject in hand.In this particular case I had sent roundto the butcher's for a sheep's heart; andI permitted the mem bers of the class tosee, touch and handle it for themselves.

In the course of the lesson, I askedthe question:

'What is the difference, then, be-twixt a sheep's heart and the heart of aman or woman?" rvAs a master;of tact (Ian ay be permitted %o remind the reader),the two nave a "trio*t remad&Kle simi-larity. T :i

Among others, cne poor* psle-looMnglad put out iris tramL'

"Well, B— " I said, "what differenceis suggested to you?"

"Why, sir,?t answered the boy, a glowof feeling rising to his cheek, "a sheep'sheart is the softest: for you can bite asheep's heart, but a woman's heart youbreak."

And then 1 remembered that poor lit-tle B—'s mother had died of a brokenheart, the result of a husband's brutali-ty and des*>rtfon.

The next essay from which I take an;extract was written by a laid in theFourth Standard el the school. Thesubject for the composition was Flow-ers. . . . '"' .. •• ;,

After describing tlf* flowers to beseen in any ordinary garden plot, theyoung essayist continues:

"Now, in the country t i e flowersgrow wild in the Aeldsj though not soClose together, and not in skwares androunds. And nobody believes it tillthey go in the train; but certainly boysand girls can run amongst ta,em, andpull upjas many'aag they like,,' and filltheir arms and baskets and bring themhome to there fathers and mothers.And the teacher said tbat if we couldonly go the next day, there would bejust as many flowers again. Some boyswould not believe what the teacher said,but I believe that it is true, for I believethat God can easy do miracles, becauseI believe that the flowers are not stuckIn by men or polecemen after it is dark,else what about taking so much pullingout? When 1 am a man I shall go thenext day. I should so like to live in ahouse in the middle of the fields, so that1 could always see them flowers allround roe, and the trains going by onthem green banks. Perhaps when Iam a man 1 shall try to find a housethere, and a kind woman ia the insideof i t "

The following effort is a selectionfrom a Third Standard lad's com positionexercise upon "The Donkey." Only thefirst two paragraphs of the essay areomitted:

"The Donkey is one of that tribe ofbeast* on which tho cane has no effekt,for the harder you hit it the slower Itgoes. Your fathers never use a whipfor there donkeys, becase they no itwould not hurt them. For the Donkeyrather likes to feel a whip, as it onlytikles him »nd makes h ira feel joyfulland hungry. The best thing to punisha Donkey with is, firstly, a short thickcane for ears and belly; and secondly, abroomstick cut in two for backbone andback legs. He will then go betwixtfour and five miles an hour.The donkeys which you see paintedyellow and bluo on the schoolpictures are what are called jews asses.These tribes of donkeys go many milesan hour, rmd will follow their masterslike dogs and lambs becose of kindness.The young one are sometimes calledkolts and foals of asses. Therefore, ifyou have a niced young donkey showmercy unto it, and it might grow into akolt or the foal of an ass. There is alsothe tribe of wild asses which prowl uponthe top of rocks, and never slip over,even in winter. They are larger thanour moddern donkeys, and surer footed.In the night time they climb down, andfeed like rabbits upon the poor farmershard-earned vegitebles:"

The branch of secular work whichchildren abhor more than any other isbeyond a doubt "Grammar and Analy-sis." I have frequently noticed thatduring this session the lads grew rest-less and even irritable, and the disci-pline becomes, in consequence, moredifficult to maintain.

Hence I can very well understand thatirritableness, quite as much as ignor-ance, was the cause of the startling an-swer given by u north-country lad to hisinspector during an examination mgrammar.

The inspector was dealing with thegenders of nouns and pronouns, and,among other questions, he asked:

• What is the gender of the noun egg?''•'Sir,*' answered a tall, shrewd lad be-

hind, w)io probably surmised that it wasa kind of "catch" question, and was de-termined to prove himself equal to theoccasion, "you canna toll till it's hatch-ed!"

puring a Scripture lesson from tbeBook of Kings a teacher, after having

gone thrivigh the lifo of the thirdarch of the united Jewish kingdom,Solomon, had a further intention of pro*eeeding to the reign of Solomon's suc-cessor, Jeroboam, King of Israel.

Accordingly he put the question:"Now, boys, who was it came afte*

Solomon?" ;•The Queen of Sheba, sir!" cried out

»n eager little customer, who enter*tamed a lively and delighted recollec-tion of the description of that royallady's "courtin'."

During a Scripture lesson upon theearly life of Moses a teacher received anauswer from a child which was as amus-ing as it was practical.

The teacher had described how thebabe was plaeed by the sorrowingmother in an ark, and how the littlevessel with its precious burden wasfloated out among the reeds on the riveiNile, and he then put the question:

"Now, why did the parents [take goodcare to daub the vessel with pitch?"

And one lad held out his hand, andconfidenttyans^er^d: ,.. ^

on "The Moon" affords, in defiance of itstitle, some most interesting glimpses ofsub-lunary home-life:

"Then dc not go and say that you arefeared of making yourself clean, justbecose it is cold and it hurU to get thedirt off, or becose the suds get in youreye. For when you are clean, people don<tedge away from yon, never mindabout your clothes, but they say untoyou like our teacher that it is next togodlyness.

On Saturdaynights say also unto her, mother dontforget to get my bath-tub reddy for me,and a new peace of soap, for I love towash myself count of cleanliness for itis next to godlyness. Do not be sameas them there Blacks, and Araerikens,and Ingoos, which just splashes theirfaces with, water and no soap, and nevergets inside of a tub, only paddlin ?iboutbits of rivers.

"When you say to a dirty boy 'DirtyDick wants the stick,' only say it aboutonce, so he cant say as you are wicked.Tell bim to look at tho necks of mas-ters and superintendents and preachers,and he will never find a ring, which isalways a sine as you have not gore fardown."—Henry J.

CAMP-FIRE STORIES.HEROIC JOHNNY CLARK.

A E«mlnU««n«e of the Campaign iaPowder Rlv«r'Couutry.

Bight away after Lee's surrender theGovernment sent the cavalry brigade towhich 1 was attached to Laramie andJulesburg, and from the*e points com-mands were sent out into the PowderRiver country. The Indian was at hisbest in those days, defiant, independentand aggressive, and the Powder riverexpedition was in danger of attackevery hour of the day or night. Whenwe left Laramie a boy fifteen years old,who gave his name as Johnny Clark, gotpermission to go with us. A year beforethat Ills father and mother had beenkilled in one of the frontier raids, andhis sistci' Mary, a girl of ten years, hadbeen carried off prisoner. It was in hopesto learn some thing of her that he wentalong. He was tbin in flesh, ra^ed andbare-handed, and it was pitiful to thinkof a boy like tbat starting oat on suchan errand. His. ease touched the heartsof the rough men, and before the dayof starting we had provided him with anew suit of clothes, a Winches-ter rifle, revolver and a horse.The . latter was furnished himon the qujet by the quartermaster, andwhen we got started every man felt thatone of" the objects of the expedition wasto help Johnny Clark learn the fate ofhis sister. From the day of our startthe Indians kept as in sight, and atevery f*yowit)Je opportunity they madean attack. We had lost nine or ten menwhem the order was given to 'bout facefor Laramie, the command having pene-trated as far into the unknown countryas required by orders. We took up theline of march early one morning, andhad scarcely moved oat of camp when itwas seen that the redskins had gatheredin force and meant to attack us. Weclosed up, threw oat flankers and keptmoving, but at eleven o'clock they ap-peared in such numbers, and seemed sodetermined to attack, that we halted ina natural dip and made preparations fora fight. -Wer«,*ad: then less than twohundred nlen, and the force of Indianswas estimated at fully two thousand.They encircled PA ** soon as we dis-mounted, and for two or three hours we/#ujg&i#U»gm;at long range: They hadsome long-range rifles among them,and several of otrr men were killed orwounded while we waited for them toclose in.

At three, o'clock in the afternoon aband of twenty hunters and trappers ap-peared in the distance, having been at-tracted by the firing, and as a portion ofthe Indians. rode off to hold this rein"forcement at bay, we were ordered tomount and get ready to charge thatwhich remained. We were all anxiousenough, knowing this was oar only wayout, and presently we got the word anddashed away, riding straight at the spotwhere the Indians were thickest, anddepending on the saber alone. Theygave way at our approach, but not to re-treat, and we charged time and againbefore we finally started a panic whichrouted them. I don't believe one Indianin twenty had ever seen a cavalry chargeor a saber before. Our blades weresharply ground, and whenever we got tothem their heads had to suffer. Ourhorses knocked their light ponies headover heels whenever they stood for us,and as we were constantly on the more,we escaped most of the bullets fired bytheir flankers.

Just as we got the whole force of In-dians on the run some one cried out thatJohnny Clark was missing. A quarterof an hour later, when gathering up ourdead and wounded, we found the boy inthe dip where he had first taken refuge.He was dead and scalped. For somereason he had not been ready to mountwb.cn we did, and his horse had gone offin the charge and left him there on footand alone. While we were charging toand fro a mile away, a gang of redskinshad set out to capture the boy. One, tolook at his big blue eyes and girlishface, would bave doubted if he had thecourage to shoot at an Indian. The boyrealized his helpless situation, rolled fouror five loose rocks together, used some ofthe camp baggage to strengthen the posi-tion, and. then waited. I am telling youwhat has been officially reported whenI say that he killed seven Indians be-fore they got his life, and the last twohe killed with his revolver within tenfeet of his body. The seven were lyingwithin rifle shot of him, and there weretwo dead ponies besides. The poor boyhad been shot through the neck, andrecognizing in him a bra^e and worthyfoe, the Indians had simply taken thescalp. This we found at the girdle of awarrior killed on another part of thefield.—Detroit Free Press.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.How Commodore Preble Reproved Gal-

lant Lieutenant Derfttar.Nearly twenty years of my early life

—from the grade of midshipman to thatof lieutenant—were spent in whatmight now be called the old navy, saysa letter from Princeton, N. J., to theNew \ork Times. During1 those ye*rsI sailed in various ships with various of-ficers, but in all my experience I neverknew one who so far forgot what wasdue to his position or himself as tostrike a sailor with his fist, or to chasehim about tbe deck with a belaying-pin,as appears to have been the custom onboard the United States ship Enterprise.

As a youngster I remember hearing astory which may interest some of yourreaders and at the same time illustratewhat was the thought of tbat kind ofdiicipline (or the want of it) by the old-time heroes of Uie service.

Early in the century one of the moatdistinguished officers of %h& nsvvy wasthe first ComiLioddre, Preble. The gal-lant Decatur—who af t*>tw»rd became •»famous—was a Lieutenant on boardsship commanded by bim? One df j ,in a moment of passion, Deca-

r knocked a man do vn. Such an i\a~heard-of breach of discipline was atonce reported to the Comtuottore, andMr. Decatur was suspended from duty.After a few days he was sent for by Com*jnodore Preble and received a lectur*that probable made both ot his ears tia-gle, but like the manly fellow that h*was,he promptly admitted his wrong-do-ing, and proposed to make such repara-tion as was possible. He suggested, how*ever, that he had naturally a violenttemper, and sometimes could not con*trolit

"Mr. Decatur," replied the Commo-dore, "since you have been on boardthi*ship I bave been obliged on several oc-casions to caution you, and once or twieoto speak pretty sharply, and yet, sir, yo»have never knocked roe down. Whenyou do that I will believe you can notcontrol your temper. That is all, sir*You can return to your duty.** It wa»said that through his future brilliantcareer Decatur never forgot that rebuka.Perhaps some of the officers of the En-terprise might "profit by his example*after the reprimand.

A FOUR-WORD SPEECH.

Oft* of the Host £ft>«tH» OrationsIlvered toy General Grant.

During tbe war Major Wham was ftLieutenant in General!*rant's regiment,the Twenty-first Ulinois, And was asfortunate bodily then as he has beensince.

"We were in for thirty days at firstand had a-Colonel who wore two pistolsin his belt and made spee*ihes on dressparade," he said to a circle cf friends atthe Ebbitt last nights "We refused toenlist unless we could have a new Colo-nel, and the case was presented to Gov-ernor Dick Tates while the regimentwas encamped at Springfield. It wasthes that Colonel U. S. Grant was as-signed to our regiment and the Gov-ernor suggested that the boys be en-thused with some speeches by Loganand one or two others. The programme-was carried oat, and boys, who hailbeen worked op ip a thrpe-cheers-and-a-tiger state of mind, and were accus-tomed to speeches from their old Col-onel, called for "Grant,' "Grant,* *ColonelGrant,* with the accent on both words.There was a slight hesitation, and thenColonel Grant, who had been sittingdown, arose and made an effectivespeech without exhausting the Englishlanguage. It could be hardly dividedinto tbe three parts required by rhetcri-cians, for it consisted of but four words,to>wiU

" *Go to your quarters.*"I told the story once at a reunion

when Grant was present, and the veter-ans took it with a storm of applause, butthe old commander never smiled. It wasone of those incidents of necessary armydiscipline which he thought ought neverto bo alluded to at reunions, and I havonever told it since,"

"What did you think of your Colonelthose days?" was asked.

4'A man that couldn't see Grant hadthe elements of greatness in him was ashoat himself," was the reply. "We allsaid then he was bound to climb the lad-d<>* of famft. »tjH the world hss seen ourprophecy fulfilled."—Washington Star.
