When we saw it announced by the National Intelii-
gene and the Republic that deficit OF fifteen or twenty
millions Of dollars would exist during the present and
next fiscal years, felt confident that the public mo-
neys had been improvidsny If not corupy squandered
by this administration indeed the deficiency was
merely pretended for the purpose Of strengthening the
monopoiss in their assault upon the revenue bill Of
1886. There was hardly room for reasonable doubt
that the current expenses of the government had not
been unnecessarily increased. the accruing revenues
would be amply sufficient to meet them, and to pay the
expenses growing of the Mexican war But since We
have seen the explanation of the alleged deficit given
by the Rspubc there is no longer room for any the
sightest uncertainty. That explanation is plainly and
manfesy false; and to up its falsehood low quib-
bling has been resorted to- which proves conclusivey
that the public revenues have been squaAdered and made
way with by this administration, and that its organs dare
not meet the public with true statement Of the manner
in which our financial aain have been conducted since
the 4h OF March last The only supposiiion which can

The emotions Of man WHO had
been blind from birth. on being res.
tofed TO sight, are wildly portrayed
in the following extract. The pa.
tient referred to is Rev. ii. Hoskins,
of Crawford county Ia, upon whom
a surgical operation was recently
performed.
Mr.. Hoskins was taken home to
Crawford county, before the banda
ges were removed; and when this
was done, we are informed by gem
tleman residing in that neighborhood,
that the operation was found to have
been eminently successful. He de-
scribes the emotions of the patient,
when suddenly possessed of a sense
so novel to him, TO be of the most
enthusiastic description. Things
which he had long been acquainted
with through the medium of other
senses, became possessed of n new
and surprising beauty; and roads
which he had been used to taavel
iesr'essly, when blind, had to be a.
gain learned. His wife and children,
chom h had neUer seen, his friends,
his Pensioners, his home, every
thing endeared to him, became an
unending source of delight and new
born qualification. He had the same
confused notions of distance which
we see the smallest children maui
fest, and took the livliest pleasures
in beholding the fireat variety Of col
ors. In short, he was compelled to
learn 10 see, in precisely the same
manner that the smallest child does;
and to him it was an occupation Of
the most gratifying nature.'

lhe following beautiful selection
is from Sermon by Jeremy Taylor
Lukewarmucss in Religion.
In every act of religion God ex.
poets such a warmth, and such a ho.
~ fire to 60 along, that it may be a.
bic to enkindle the wood upon the
altar, and consume the sacrifice
but God hates an Indifferent spirit
Earnrstness and vivacity, quickness
and delight, perfect choice in tie
service, and a delight in the prosecu.
ton, is all that the spirit of a man
can yield toward lis religion: the
outward work is the effect of tie
body, but if man does it hearth,
and with all bis mind, then religion
hath wings, and moves upon wheels
of fire. However it be very easy to
have our thoughts wander, vet it is
our lultewarmnes ana Indifference
that makes it so natural !; and you
may observe it that so long as the
light shines bright, and the fires of
desire and devotion flame out, so
long the mind of a man stands close
to the altar and waits upon the sacri-
flee; but as the fires die and desires
decay, so the mind steals away, and
walks abroad, to see the little ina
geS of beauty and pleasure which it
beholds in falling stars and little
glow-worms of the world. The riv-
er that runs slow and creeps by the
banks, and begs leave Of every little
taft to let it pass, is driven into little
hollowness, and spends itself in small
portianS, and dies with diversion /;
but when it runs with nervousness
aud a full stream, and breaks down
every obstacle, making it even as its
own brow, it stays not to be tempted
with little ovocation, and to creep
into holes, but runs into the sea
through full and useful channels: so
is mans prayer; if it moves upon
the feet of an abated appetite, if it
wanders into the society Of every
triiling accident and stays at the cor
ner of the fancy, and tacks with ev.
cry object it meets, and cannot ar
rive at heaven; but when it is car.
ried upon the wings of passion and
strong desires, swift motion and a
hungry appetite, it passes on through
all in,ermedial regions of clouds,
and stays not till it dwells at the foot
of the throne, where mercy sits, and
there sends holy showers Of refresh
ment.

= Man Without n Hone.

The late JosEpH c. NEAL, in his
Inning of Tribulation Trepid, a
man without a hope" thus admira-
bly, hits off that class of people who
are never SO happy as when they are
miserable
elbow are you, Trepid ? How
do you feel to-day, Mr.. Trepid ?"
GA great deal woasc than | was,
thankee; most dead, Pm obliged to
you; Pm always worse than | was,
and | don't think | ever was any bet
ter. I'm very sure, anyhow, Pm not
going to be any better; and for the
future yon may always know Pm
worse, without asking any questions,
for tie questions make me worse if
nothing else does -
"Why, Trepid, what's the matter
with you ?"
Nothing, tell you, in particu-
lar; but a great deal is the matter
with me in general; and that's the
danger, because we don't know what
It's. That's what kil!speople, when
they don't know what it is that's
what's killing me. My great grand
father died of it, and so will |. The
doctors don't know-they can't
tell; they say I'm well enough, when
Pm bad enough; so there's no help.
I'm going off some of these days,
right after my great grandfather
dying of nothing in particular, but
of everything in general. That's
what finishes our folks"

Dark DAYS.

The late Noah Webster of New
Haven, makes the following mention
of the several wonderful appearan-
ces which occurred during the last
century
In the dark day, May 10, 1880, the
heavens were covered with dense
clouds for three or four hours the
Legislature was in session at Hart
ford, and such was the darkness that
business could be transacted with
out candles. During the time, the
clouds were tinged with yellow OF
faint red color for hours, for which
no cause has yet been assigned.
In the evening of March 20, 1852
an extraordinary light spread over
the whole hemisphere from horizon
to horizon, north and south, east and
west The light was of a yellowish
cast and wavy. The waving Of the
light was visible, and some persons
heard or imagined they heard, a
light rustlinG sound.
In the year 1888 great part Of
Europe was overSprcad with ha-
illness Of atmosphere, which caused
great CONSERVATION. The churches
were crowded with supplican,s--

to allay the fright by endeavoring tc

The COLI Region.-Hon. 7. But.
Ter King, who has just completed a
survey of the mining district of
California, under the direction of the
government says tina, the gold region
embraces an area of over 500 square
miles, and that 100000 men could
could not exhaust it of the precious
metal in a century. He predicts
that the richness of the diggings will
necessarily cause the building up CT
San Francisco, within five years, to
population larger than that ofNcw
York city.
Mr.. King will shortly publish his
report.

Not a little excitement has Just
been caused in London, by a report
that the Post Office were contempla-
ting a measure which would lead to
the distribution of letters on the Sab
bath. Numerous ano spirited meet
ings have been held in the metropo-
lis-onc of which the Lord Mayor
was chairman-to demonstrate a.
gainst the project. Another meeting
was held of all denominations in Is.
lington, at which the Rev. Daniel
Wilson presided, and DR.. Hender-
son was among the speakers. Lord
John Russell and the Post Master
General had attempted TO explain a
way the matter, but, it was thought,
without success.

mixture of salt and turpentine com

mixture of salt and turpentine com,
blned, for ten minutes every day un.
til the parts become very tender to
the touch, which the animal will
soon indicate. When this condition
obtains, suspend the friction a few
days, then resume it again; and SO
on until a cure is effected. The loin
must undergo like friction, using
the same mixture.
AS general treatment, the horse
should have tcaspo nful of sulphur
every other day until a pound is ia
ken; he should not be stabbed in dav
time, unless the weather be inclem-
ent E; his food should be sparing but
nutritious. Purging is not necessa-
ry-dePletion by external treatment
is alone admissible.
Besides the foregoing, the horse
should be subjected to a thorough
sweat, in the beginning, by bathing
him well all along the spine, from
ears to tail, with warm whiskey, well
sailed, as also his legs; then cover
ing him with blankets. This sweat
ing may be repeated every fine day
until obvious amelioration appears
in the animals condition.
Big-jaw should be treated like the
bighead, by which treatment we
have seen many useful horse resto-
red to his former soundness, and the
owner thus rewarded for bis little
trouble. QUID NUNC.

american BWier.-We cut the
following paragraph from the Scien-
tltlc American. The subject is one
worthy the clost attention:
The Gcsnesee Farmer, speaking
of American butter in England, says,
that by fo"egin accounts, it is not SO
well packed or made as the Irish OF
the Dutch, and great quantity oft
has to be sold for grease, as being
unfit to use: We believe the evil OF
this does not so much lie in the
packing as in the way of collecting
the cream. To make good butter
the milk should never be Mrnedwhen
the cream is taken off, Let care be
exercised in this respect, and then
we will always have sweet butter
from sweet cream. Or let the milk
be churned without skimming-the
way in which the best butter is pro-
duced. 1t would be well to pack the
butter frkins inside of larger firkins
filled between with salt.
