Test was elected to Congress in the third

political and judicial matters at the time
the second election Of Mr. Monroe came on
before our Legislature. There was no OPP
position The people knew nothing about
1t. The Legislature, sitting at Corydon,
appointed the electors. The first notice
had that there had been Presidential e.
lection, was from an extract in our Con-

paper, giving the names of the electors,
among which was Daniel j. Caswell, and
the giving of the vote of the State for Jas.

THE TARIFF prscrssroy.

The Tariff of 1923 was, that session, the
prominent measure. 1t was debated long
and ably. Two main ideas occupied the
ablest speakers, whether there was consti-
tutional power to enact protective Tariff,
and whether duties should be imposed up
on the al valorem or the specific principle.
There was another equally important as in
cidental to the others, whether high duties,
or low duties would raise the most revenue.
Some insisted that tho duties laid by the
bill were so high that the overflowing treas
ury would introduce extravaganza and
prodigality on the part of the administra-
ton, while others contendcd that it was
low duties that would produce that re-
suit. The wiser of the debaters held that
the only way to keep down the anticipated
treasury plethora, was to lay high specific
duties on all articles of extravaganza, and
increase the free list, SO as to include the
neccssaries of life. The northern members
were supporting the bill, the south oppos-
ing it In mass, many western members with
them. Silas Wright and James Buchanan,
leading democrats, were warm in its sup
port, and voted with them. a caucus OF
the opponents of the bill was held AMI next
day & motion was made to increase the du-
ty on molasses ten cents per gallon, being
an increase of an hundred per cent all va
loren. The object of the amendment was
to choke off he northern members, and in
directly to kill the bill.

sprang to his feet and reared out at the top
of his voice, "Mr. Speaker. let the constit-

sop their bread only on one side in molas-

CESS arose, with fire beaming from his coun-
tenance, and addressed the chair. 1.-The
relief proposed by the gentleman from Ken

Does not the gentleman know that estab-

that all laws arc cruel and oppressive that
strike at the innocent habits of the people?
To illustrate, what would the gentlemen
think of me if l should offer an amendment
that neither himself nor his constituents
shall hereafter have more than a pint Of

GREAT DEEDs.-The spoken word, the written
poem, is said to be an epitome of the man, how
much more the done work. Whatsoever of
morality and intelligence what of patience,
perseverance, faithfulness, of method, insight
ingenuity, energy; in a word, whatsoever of
strength the man had in him will lie written
in the work he has done. Great honor to him
whose epic is melodious hexameter HAD
But still greater honor, if his epic be mighty
empire slowly built together, mighty series of
heroic deeds-a mighty conquest of chaos
There is no mstaking this latter epic. Deeds
are greater than words. Deeds have such
life, mute but undeniable, and grow as living
trees and fruit trees do; they people the vacui-
ty of time, and make it green and worthy

GENERAL WALKER-The New York Dqy Book

OF him and of his reception at Laura Keenes

% correct, and we see no reason to doubt its
accuracy, Tor some admirably correct portrait

THE PASSING AwAY.-Life wanes; we are
passing away. The ringing whistling Engine
upon the railroad track rushes over a fellow
mortal, and he is no more. The lightning
shaft strikes down one here and another there
the explosion of the boiler of some gigantic
mandatory makes fearful destruction of hu-
man life, while the ocean-world of waters swal-
lows its scores and hundreds But the victims
OF the Rum Traffic oh, how are they destroyed I?
Yea, and the fell destroyer of his kind the mis-
cradle rum vender, is also passing away--pass-
ing to the judgment-to his terrible reward.
On every hand we see weeping parents, broth
ers, and sisters. Loves tie is sundered The
smiling infant and the venerable guardian, the
rich and the poor, the bond and the free, the
oppressed and the oppressor, all are laid side
side, all are passing away. Like the daffodil
" which decays SO soon," as the quaint old
English poet Herrick says:
"W We have short time to stay. as you;
We have as short spring,
As quick q growth to meet decay,
As you anytl ing
We die,
As your hours do; and dry
Away,

Or as the pearls of morning dew,
Ne'er to be found again."

The NATIONAL TyPoGRApHIcAL UNIoN.-The
editor OF the Baton Rouge Aduocate, who was
on visit to New Orleans, during the recent
meeting of the National Typographical Union,
held in that city, writes his opinions of the craft
as follows:
As body, the Union is composed of men
whose appearance denote their calling to be one
of peculiar and elevating character. They do
not look like egislators-their standard is hiph-
er-nor yet the bench, bar nor jury; they bring
to mind no other congregation of men one meets
with In his acquaintance with human aggrega-
ton. Every face you gaze upon among those

to waste abilities that might thrill Statesmen
and move multitudes, if brought to usefulness
are some OF the characteristics peculiar to the
disciples OF Faust. They are as reckless with
their hard-earned money as profuse in its dis

which seem to have been bestowed upon them
by nature when in caprcious mood. to fest

With my spirit light and free,

Or can ever call thee mine,
Still l cannot break the fetters
Thou dost round my heart entwine.
For knew not when saw thee,
That thy heart for homage yearned,
And the love thou gav'st another,
Had been coldly by him spurned.
Then, while along life's pathway
With saddened heart tread,

Though know my hopes are dead:
Let me keep thy precious image
In my lone hearts inmost shrine,
And worship there in secret,

CHARLOTTE BRONTE-POOr, in a country where
wealth is worshipped the daughter of York
shire parson; destitute of personal beauty tho
belonging to the sex in which personal beauty
is most attractive of feeble Frame though des-
tined to a struggle of actual hardship; what
could Charlotte Bronte do to make her life no.
BILE and productive Necessity told her to
teach, and so she harnessed her delicate mind
to the task of dragging about the load of igno-
rance and contumely with which governesses
in England are supposed to be burthened But
she was sent by God for better things. She had
eyes and saw the truth of life cleary-she had
ears and heard its chords and discords plainly
The light that was in her must shine out, and
it did shine out glorously. After time Jare
Eyre was written, and after some delay pub
lished. 1t came upon the literary world like
cool, bracing breeze from the hills of Yorkshire
Byronism, and Bulwersm, and Miss Nancyism
had died the death that all falsehoods must die;
and in their place men and women were ready
to welcome the truthful humanity, the large
love, the contempt for shams, and the merciless
analysis that were daguerreotyped on the pages
of Charlotte Brontes work. Thenceforth
she was one of the sovereigns of thought, ruling
us by divine, unquestioned right. Yet her
life was sad one Her father does not appear
to have been very lOveable man her brother
nearly broke her heart by his dissipation and
early death; her sisters were snatched from her
one by one by the resistless grasp of Consump-
tion /; and she, herself, soon after her marriage,
and just as the evening of her days journey
here began to break through the thick Clouds
passed suddenly and quietly through the dark
valley into the Silent Land. We could have
wished for her long and happier life; but as
the poet tells us, those who scale the walls of
Heaven and bring down fire therefrom to kim
die human hearts, must, like Prometheus, be
chained to the crags of sorrow, and ever see
the yulture sailing around and above them,
ready to punish their divine audacity
