BREAKING THE MANAGES OF THE Flu
GITIyE SLAVE LAw.-It is significant
sign of the feeling Of nationality in the
loyal States, that all parties, extreme dem
ocrats and extreme republicans, cordially
concur in Gen. Buffers most fortunate So
luton Of the troublesome slavery question,
in declaring that slaves are "contraband
goods" and therefor can be confscated, as
you would powder or shot. Under the
bred Scott decision, slaves were declared to
be property and therefore Gen. BuCler has
arrived at republican conclusion, by act
ing on acknowledged democratic authority,
hence all parties are pleased. We do
not hesitate to say that Gen. Butler has
proved himself great man, by thus
uniting the country upon the slavery policy
to be pursued toward the revolving States.

re- Corporal Tyler Of the Massachusetts
9th regiment, was one Of those wounded
by the mob at Baltimore. In describing
bis experience he says he saw man with
three stones under bis arIn and one in his

fired at him, and, to use Tyler's own Ian
guage,-"the man dropped the bricks and

The EFEEcTs OF WAR.-The Scientific
american contains an instructive article
on the effects Of war upon q nations
wealth. We quote two paragraphs from
the article
"The firing Of . 9-inch shell gun, like
those used on most Of our naval steamers,
costs SO 81 at each discharge. Now, the
burning Of 80 worth Of coal in one Of our
cotton, or carpet, or steam.engine manu-
factories, generally results in the prOduc-
ton of from $40 to $40 worth Of value in
some other kind of property; but the
burning Of powder in warfare does not
produce any other property its only pro-
ducts are noise, and smoke, and death,
which are not saleable in any market.
OF oil the modes Of consuming wealth un.
productivity, tho most rapid are conila.
grati0ns and war.
It is frequently the case that the pro-
ductive power Of a people il SO great that
the aggregate Of individual savings more
than Overbalances the public waste Of
wealth in war, and thus the national
wealth may increase even during the con-
tinuance Of expensive wars. Macaulay
says that this has been the case with
England in all her wars; and was most
conspicuous in the most expensive one
she ever engaged in,.~the long eOntes,
against the opinions Of the French Revo.
luton. which continued, with two briel
intervals, from l79a to 1916. In this gi.
gantic struggle, England not only sup.
ported her own armies, but she also con.
tributcd vast sums to her allies-the other
governments Of Europe--to enable them
to keep up the fight. 1t is true that o
large portion Of this money was raised
by borrowing, the national debt having
been increased during the period about
two thousand millions of dollars. But q
Government cannot borrow unless some.
body has 1t to lend, and this immense
sum was saved by the English people
right in the midst Of the war, and loaned
to the Government"

To FIND OuT AN IRIsHMAN-Rev. DR..
Guthrie, in his late book on Ragged
Schools, tells the following amusing anec.
dote: "With all its drunkenness, I will
not deny my country. would find that,
perhaps, as useless as did an Irishman of
nv acquaintance. lie had touch Of the
broeuc, and yet SO boldly claimed to be
an Englishman as TO silence if not con.
vince u.s. Unfortunately for him, an
Irish lady, who lived in our pension in
Paris, had not forgotten, though she had
resided long in France, the habits Of her
country. Fixing her green eyes on him
at dinner, she snid: Il know you, sir, to
be an Irishman, choking the falschood in
his throat by this Characteristic and, to
the English and Scotch part Of the com.
pany, most divCrting reason, 7 know Il,
sir, by the way you peel your potato"

READING ALOUD.-Thcre Is no treat so
great as to hear good reading Of any kind.
Not one gentleman In hundred can rcad
so as to please the car, and send the words
with gentle force to the heart and under.
standing. An indistinct utterance, whineN.
drones, nasal twang, gutteral notes, hest.
tati0ns, and other vices Of elocutiOn, are
almost universal. Why it Is no one can
say, unless 1t be that either the pulpit or
the nursery, or the Sunday school, give
the style in these days. Many lady can
sing ltalian songs with considerable exc.
cution, but cannot read English passal'ly.
Yet reading is by far the moro valuable
accomplishment Of the two. In most
drawing rooms, II thing is to be read, it
is discovered that nobody can read, one
has weak lungs, another has an abOmina-
ble sing-song, evidently tradition Of the
way In which Watts hymns were sung.
when he was too young to understand
them anothcrrumbles like broad wheel
wagon; another has a way Of reading
which seems to proclaim that what is read
is Of no sort Of consequence and had bet.
ter not be attended to. As good as It Ia
plain and forcible, is the above pithy series
Of observations Pass It alOng.

A Coon RULE.-As it regards unmnn-
nerly and unmanageable children at the

II a child docs not come quietly and take

majority Of parents do: "YOu shall leeye
the table, if you don't behave better. L
tell you, you shall" What cares her
He knows It Is nothing but breaAhs he
has heard the threat ever since he can re.
member. No; let the rule be undsrssoOd
and established; let It be acted on as I'm
simultaneously and as the report fellows
the fash Of gun. only with perfect gen.
tleness, as well as decision, on youF part.
There should bc no harshness Of y0lc9 OF
roughness Of hand; indeed, there WIN be
no heed Of It, IL such shall be the wtlIah-
derstoOd rule. Il may be sAid tAaG the
child, by some inadvcrtence, may ltnAkp'

AT convention Of clergymen, not long
since, it was proposed by one Of the mem
bers, after they had dined, that each man
should entertain tho company with some
interesting remarks. Among the rest one
drew upon his fancy and related dream.
In his dream he went to Heaven, and he
described the golden streets, etc. As he
concluded, one Of the divincs, who was
somewhat noted for his penyrious and
money.saving habits, stepped up to the
narrator and inquired jOcOsely:
"Well. did you see anything of me in
your dream?" .r
"Yes, did"
"Indeedl what was doingP"
"You were on your knees"
Praying, was II"
"NO-scraping up the gold!"
