A Dissatisfied countryman.

We saw distinguished individual a
| one of the Cincinnati hotels on SATURDAY.
He was evidently from the country by his
remarks, and had visited the city to see
the Fair. There was a large amount OF
spirituous fluids mingled with his clayey
form. However gaily he had sailed thro'
the old year, New Years had been too
much for him, and he was nearly used
up. He dropped into seat, threw one
leg on convenient chair, and with his
hat siouched over his bloodshot eyes, So
iloquized thus:
"Never'H go TO another Fair as long as
hVe-neyer. All hum. Spent a heap
OF money IN chances-never drew a thing.
City fellers got 'em al. Call it a Fair
nothing fair about it. City fellers got il
up. They fixed things, and what's the
result-drawed everything. Outsiders
hadn't got show. Swindled me at the
door. Went out to get a drink and had
to pay to get in again. Told 'em / opIv

cushions and cough candy. Hain't got
no cough, and what do want with pin
cushions ? City fellers got all the best
grabs. Fixed up on US, tell ye. Coin

rance" A pause, during which the dis
satisfied countryman rests the other leg
in the chair which fronts him, and gloom
lly takes chew of tobacco.) Saloon
keepers are in the swindle. They adyer-
lies twenty per cent. for the FAIR and
iouble on the price of drinks

"Put it as you will" he answered, fold
ing up Collector Riley's receipt, which he
still held in his hand, and bowling him
self out
Not many days afterwards, happened
to hear some one grumbling in my geigh-
hor's presence about his income tax
GroWler scarcely waited to hear him
through. Ny lesson was improved in
his hands. In significant phrase, he
''pitched into" the offender, and read
him lesson so much stronger than mine,
that felt myself thrown quite into the
shade
"You have been assessed ffty-eight
dollars? One would think from the noise
you make about it, that you had been
robbed of half you were worth. Fifty
eight dollars for security at home and
protection abroad Fifty-eight dollars as
your share in the cost of defense against
an enemy that, if unopposed, will desc
late our homes and destroy our govern
ment! Already it has cost the nation for
your safety and mine over a thousand
millions of dollars, and you are angry be-
cause it asks of you a little part of the
expense. Sir, you are not worth the
name of an American citizen"
That's hard talk, Growlsr, and won't
bear il, said the other.
"It's true talk, and you'll have TO bear
it." was retorted. "Fretting over the
mean little sum of ffty-eight dollars
Why, sir, know man who has given
his right arm in the cause; and another
who has given his right leg. Do they
grumble? No. sir I never heard q
word of complaint from their lips. Thou

their lives that you and might dwell in

Gen. Garfield in Congress.

The following extract is from the Wash
ington correspondence of the Cleveland
Herald.
On Monday we had rain and mud, but
on Tuesday found my way to the halls
of Congress. | had seen grand and i'm
posing legislative bodies, from our own
State Legislatures to the House of Peers
in London, and the still greater House of
Commons, and the august Chamber of
Deputies in Paris, but the interest in all
these was trivial compared with that now
centered round our national capital. These
have been grand eras in our history be-
fore the present. but never a time so
fraught with the destiny of the world as
the present. A mighty nation struggling
up from battle-felds won at infinite cost;
four millions of people standing with
chains broken, but still with manacles
around their wrists, which political black
smiths wish to relink; God and the great
heart of a mighty people, its tender wo-
manhood, its fegerent manhood, protest
ing that the nation must be redeemed,
that the blood Of our glorious sons shall
not be shed in vain. Surely, it is grand
to be where you can lay your ear 10 the
national heart at such a moment as this.
On Tuesday, when entered the Senate
Chamber, John Sherman, of Ohio, was
just speaking upon the important ques-
ton of arming the Negroes question
not without its complications. Mr.. Sher-
man favored the employment of negroes
in the military service, and was prepared
to vote for comprehensive system OF
emancipation, and just compensation to
loyal owners. The amount Of 1t all seems
to be that we as q nation must legislate
for emancipation. We have sinned
through our whole being, and our repent
ings must De equal to our transgressions.
The really grand man in the House, the
one whose future impresses me as OF most
vital importance to the nation, IS from
your State. Strong, clear, earnest, a true
Christian hero and statesman, Major
Gen. James A. Garfield seems to me one
of the grandest types of manhood that
you viii find in the House of Represent
atives. He never says or does anything
that is paltry, anything that compromises
the true Christian gentleman, or the
statesman of broad and comprehensive
views.
1t is refreshing to hear him state a
point with such logical clearness, and ar
que it with such genuine earnestness.-
We have been in the habit of regretting
the past, and believing that the present
was but child in comparison. We say
of Clay and of Webster, There were gi-
ants in these days" But tell you such
a genuine David would be more than a
match for their tangled wisdom /; the

rebellion, have been in absyance to mill

when these earthquakes and tornadoes,
which occur at intervals in, the political,
as well as in the physical world, have

The following sentence is taken from
London newspaper: "a sister of mercy
has recently taken the white veil in the
nunnery connected with All-Saints'
Church, Margaret street." Doubtless our
readers will suppose that %AHSainrS
Church, Margsret street, London Is q
chapel of the 7Remish Church, and that
the young lady became member of one
of the numerous orders of nuns in that
Church. 1t is painful to correct all such
misapprehensions by saying that the
Church spoken of belongs to the Church
of England, and is under the jurisdiction
of the Bishop of London. The ceremo-
nial followed was in good degree SINH
lar to that in use in the Roman Catholic
Church. but it adds touch of the ludi-
crous to the sadness of the whole scene,
to see that after the young girl was mar
ried to the Church" I" the whole party
adjourned 10 wedding breakfast" ?

CURE FOR SHALL Pox.-The German Re-
formed Messenger has received q letter
from friend in China, in which it is sta
ted great discovery is reported to have
recently been made by Surgeon of the
English army in China, in the way of an
effectual cure of small pox. The node
OF treatment is as follows: When the pre-
ceding fever is at its height, and Just be-
fore the eruption appears, the chest il
rubbed with croton oil and tartaric oint-
ment. This causes the whole OF the erup-
ton TO appear on that part of the body
to the relief of the rest. It also secures
full and complete eruption, and thus
prevents the disease from attacking the
internal organs. This is said TO be the es-
taolished mode of treatment in the Eng
lsh army in China. by general orders, and
s regarded as permanent cure.

The vagar1es of an Emperor.

Napoleon the Third is strangely sensi.
tive upon one subject; he desires, above all
things, that the world should look as
much as possible upon the founder of the
Napoleonic dynasty as an Emperor, and
not as soldier. He cannot bear sllu-
sions to the Petit Corporal ;" he wishes
to ignore the commencement of the great
Captains career, and see in him but the
Emperor. Louis Napoleon has carried
this sentiment to degree which over
stepseSale sublime and falls into the ride
