HO STEALS THEM ?

understand thatall the rugs, mats,
and other portable accessories in and
around the legislative nails have already
disappeared. This, we are told, is the reg
ular orderof things after every adjourn
ment of the legislature. At the next
meeting the halls, committee rooms,
ETC., will require to be completely re-
fitted and furnished, at heavy cost to
the State, and yet there has never been
a sale-public or private-so far as the
auditedreportss show, of surplus furnish
ings. Hundreds of desks, tables, chairs,
ETC., and thousands Of yards of costly
carpets, oil-cloths, mating, drugget, to
say nothing of thousands Of small port
able articles of many kinds, have thus
disappeared and "made no sign"
The amount of brooms and soap anna.
ally required about the Capitol and pub
lie offices is almost beyond belief. Sin
gular to say, however, the larger the
bills for those things the more defile
ment results. We are told that thous
ands of brooms and tons of soap-so
called-are charged to and paid by the
Senate annually, when, if properly
billed, brooms would read beer anc
soap would spell whisky, brandy anc
gin. 4 friend tells us that, year ol
two ago, he frequently saw messenger:
from the Hill carrying suspicous-look
ing packages from neighboring gro
Gerry. Being intimate with the grocer
he put the question to him--how could
he get liquor bills audited and passed;
"Oh," replied the grocer, with a smile
"that is easy enough. l charge it a.
brooms and soap" We presume thi'
way of doing it IS still going on, partic
ularly as the amount of glassware con
sumed is also immense.
1t is evident that somebody (perhap,
several somebodies) gets the property
that disappears without paying for it
and without any right to do it. This il
all wrong. In plain terms it is theft, anC
and sheuld be stopped. In other STATE
and at the federal Capitol, surplus ant
lralf-worn furniture and furnishings arr
sold ut auction to the highest bidder
This plan should be adopted here, ant
the sooner it is adopted the better 70
the taxpayers. .-PdtriOt and onion.

A LITTLE QUAKEREss IN A
uITRPV

An amusing matrimonial story is told
of the olden time in England. 1t so fell
out that two young people became
attached to each other, as young people
sometimes do. The young woman's
father was wealthy Quaker, the young
man was "poor but respectable" The
father could stand no such union, and
resolutely opposed it, and the daughter
dared not disobey openly. She met him
by moonlight, while she pretended
never to see him, and she pined and
wasted in spite of herself. She was
really in love-a state of sighs and tears
which women oftenerreach in imagina-
tion than reality. So the father remain
ed ineXorable. Time passed on, and the
rose on Mary's damask cheek passed off.
She let not concealment, like worm in
the bud, prey on that damask cheek,
however; but when her father asked her
why she pined, she always told him.
The old gentleman was a widower, and
loved his girl dearly. Had it been n
widowed mother who had Mary in
charge, woman's pride never would
have given away before the importuni-
ties of daughter. Men are not, however
50 stubborn in such matters, and when
the father saw that the daughters heart
was really set upon the match, he sur
pllScu iiSl Oilc uuy Ny bIcthiHS ouI :
"Mary, rather than NOPE to death, thou
hadst better marry as thee chooses, and
when thee pleases.r
And what did Mary? Wait till the
birds of the air had told her swain of
the change, or till her father had time to
change his mind? Not bit of it. She
clapped her neat, plain bonnet on her
head, walked directly into the street,
and then as directly to the house of her
intended as the street could carry her.
She walked into the house without
knocking--for knocking was not fashion
able then-and she found the family just
sitting to dinner. Some little commo-
iton was exhibited at so unexpected
an apparition as an heiress in the
widows cottage, but she needed
| it not. John looked up inquiringly.
She walked to him and took his
hand in hers. "John," said she,
'father says l may have thee" And
John got directly up from the dinner
table and went to the parsons. In just
twenty-four minutes they were man and

PROFESSOR AGASSIz ON THE
NEGRO.

In recent lecture Agassiz remarked:
81 have pointed out over Il hundred
specific differences between the bOnal
and nervous systems OF the white man
and negro. Indeed, their frames are
alike in no particular. There is not a
bone in the negro's body which il re-
latiVely the same shape, size, aPticuia-
ton, or chemically ofthe same compo-
sition, as that of the white man. The
negro's bones contain fur greater per
centage of calcareous salts than those of
the white man, even the negro's blood
is chemically n very different fluid from
that which courses in the veins of the
white man. The whole physical organism
ofthe negro differs quiteas much from the
white mans as it does from that of the
chin panzee-that is, in his bones,
muscles, nerves, and fibres, the chimpan
zee has not much further to progress t
became negro than Il negro has to be
come white man. This fact science
IineXOrably demonstrates.
Climate has no more to do with the dif
ference between the white man anC
negro than it has with that between tn,
negro and chimpanzee, or than 1T ha
between the horse and the ass, or th'
eagle and the owl. Each is a distinc
