AnecdOte Of the Elder Beecher.

''My father, said Henry Ward, flowed
to write at the top OF the house, and /
loved to get up there to watch him. He
had a way of whispering to himself as he
wrote, and while he wrote with one hand
he rubbed his breast with the other He
could not bear to be buttonea into any
thing while writing, and wristbands and
collar and vest were all sure to be pulled
open as soon as he sat to work His coat
was laid aside and his suspenders
thrown off his shoulders. He was a
great lover of clans: and one day as he
was rapidly driving his pen, a clam man
passed the house, crying, CLAIMS, clans
My father was so intent upon his sermon
that it was several minutes before he
realized what the sound was. Then he
rushed to the window and hailed the man,
who had passed beyound the reach of his
voice. Clapping his pen behind his ear,
father dashed down stairs like an avalanche
and, before any or all the women who
were wont to lie in wait to catch him and
put him in order, could arrest him. he
was in full chase down the street, holding
on to his pantaloons with one hand, and
waving the other IN the air, shouting

Carl Schurz at Cleveland.
From the indianapolis Journal

Gen. Carl Schurz addressed an i'm
mense meeting Of German Republicans at
Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday night, a
pretty full telegraphic account Of whose
speech we find in the Cincinnati Com
naerctol Gen Schurz took occasion to
contradict the story circulated by the
Democratic press that he had advised his
teliow-countrymen to abandon the Re
publican party on account of the temper
ance question, and affiliate with the
Democrats. He declared that
He had never so advised. The great
controlling Issue of popular liberty was
too important to be lost sight of, at this
time, for any minor issues. He had
found prohibitory liquor laws which were
the work of Democrats as we'll as Repub-
hcans. The former were Yankees as well
as the latter The Germans were too in
telligent to sacrifice their love Of liberty
tor their glass of beer He had found,
too, that Republicans were becoming
convinced how Intellectual prohibltory
liquor laws were.
The distinguished speaker placed a
higher and more intelligent estimate upon
the patriotism of Republican German.
than do the Copperhead fishermen who
are angling for their votes. The latter
think that all that is necessary to scare
German into voting the rebel ticket Is
to whisper In his ear that some Repubii
cans, in distant state, are trying to leg
lsiate beer shops out of existence A
man who could be swerved from his po-
htlcal convictions by such shallow arti-
fee must be weak indeed.

A BEAUTIFUL LEGENY. They tell the
story that one day Rabbi Judah and his
brethren sat in the church on a fast day,
dlsputlng about rest. One said it was to
have sufficient wealth, vet without sin.
The second said it was to have fame and
praise OF all men. The third said it was
possession of power TO rule the state
The fourth said it must only be the Old
age O., one who is rich, powerful, famous,
and surrounded by children's children.
The fifth said it were all in vain unless a
man kept ali the ritual of Moses. And
Rabbi Judah, the venerable the tss.lest
OF. the brothers said: ''Ye have spoken
wisely, but one thing more is Necessary.
He can only find rest who to ali thing
addeth this-that he keep the traditions
of the elders" There sat fair haired
boy, playing with lilies in his lap, and
hearing .he talk dropped them in aston
ishmant from his hands and looked up
that BOY of twelve-and said, NAY faith
er ne only finds rest who loves his broth
ers as himself, with his whole heart and
soul. He is greater than fame, wealth
and power, happier than a happy home
without it, better than henore1 age; he
Is law TO himself above all traditions.

The Tariff Questi0n---Where do the
Democracy Stand.

The tariff issue is very tersely stated
by the Cincinnati Gazette. as follows =
The Democratic party settled the tariff
question for this country by loading it
with debt of $500 millions, and thus
compelling 1t to strain every resource of
taxation. Who is there that would take
the tax off from imports and put it on
home property or products? The man
cannot be found. Then the question is
to get the most revenue from imports
The country, when its production is re-
stored, can export, including gold, about
800 millions year. This, then, is the
value we can afford to import. Oar tariff
must be adjusted upon about thisamount.
We want at least 100 millions in customs,
and the duties must be adjusted to raise
1t from 300 millions of exports. If 1t Is
wise policy to admit certain materials
free, then it must be made up by higher
duties on other articles. This IS the sim
pie tariff problem It is question of
revenue and national solvency. No man
OF sense would try to raise the same rev.
enue by lower duties on larger importa-
ton, with a balance of trade of one or
two hundred millions a year to be paid by
exporting government bonds, This would
be burning the candle at both ends, and
the high road to bankruptcy We want
at least loo millions from the imports that
we can pay for by exports That is the
whole tariff problem The only other
side Is those who would take the tax off
foreign products to put it on their own
and a drum and fife would fail to raise
corporal guard of these.
The Democratic party IN Wisconsin
pretend to be opposed to a tariff One
OF two conclusions is inevitable. If the
tariff were abolished the country would
tall about 100 millions short per annum
IN revenue, or that amount of tax would
have to be levied on home property.
The spendthrift who lavished an income
OF $4,000 or SIS, 900 year in extrava-
gance might escape nearly all taxation =
On the other hand. the class of thrifty
and economical citizens, who save por-
ton OF their income annually and add it
to the permanent and productive wealth
OF the country would have to carry nearly
the whole burden of taxation Thus the
Democratic party in this state stand
committed either to reputation, which
would be the consequence of cutting off
100 millions of revenue per annum, or a
system which places a premium on ex-
travagance, and a fine upon thrift and
economy

source of considerable local traffic. Not
very long ago this tree was imported into

OF trees on the government plantations

DIR. Jameson has prepared hundred
weights of grease from this particular
tree, aud has wa.ded, on trial, por-
ton of it to the Punjaub Railway, to
have its qualities tested in practical
manner, as ubricating material FOR
those parts of machinery constantly ex-
posed TO friction. Grease thus obtained

JEFFERSON DAVIS AS HE Is.-The
latest reports concerning this noted per-
son states that he is about taking up his
residence in Toronto. He has for some
months past been a resident of Montreal,
and the idea has become current that be
was living like retired monarch, couried
by the Canadians, and worshiped by those
who followed his fortunes and left their
country for their country's good. The
truth is that Davis has for some months
occupied an inferior house in Montreal,
and his presence in that city is a matter
of total indifference to the majority of
those who live there That he is not
surrounded by any numerous cortege may
be readily seen, when we state that a
day scarcely passes over his head that he
is not seen at the St. Lawrence Hotel,
where his presence creases no more cx-
element than that of any other person
who drops in to hear the news. and see
what is going on. His departure from
Montreal viii cause no regret, and his
presence in Toronto will create a nine
days talk, when he will be dropped. =

A VESSEL SAVED BY Throwing On
Upon The SEA.--A correspondent Of
the London Shipping and Merchantile
Gazette says he saw practical proof of
the truth OF the old adage that oil would
calm the troubled waters. The event
occurred on voyage from St Johns, n.
B., to Bristol, England. The vessel was
loaded with oil and blubber, and exper
fencing severe weather, was disabled and
thrown on her beams ends. The sea be-
ing very heavy, it was suggested that oil
would smooth it and hogshead was
preached in the hold, and the oil pumped
into the ocean with the water made by
the vessel leaking The effect was mar
velous. The vessel was drifting to lee
ward, and to windward the sea appeared
as though there was a calm, and in spite
OF tremendous gale, the sea never broke
on board for the eight days she lay to.
When the effect was observed, the oil
was not spared, and the vessel reached
Sicily. though so crippled as not to be
worth repairing. If this be true, it must
greatly diminish the dangers of a whaling,
and a few barrels placed on board every
other seagoing craft might prove the sal
Walton of some in stormy weather.

THE MICROSCOPE IN A WOODEN Fac
ToRY.-The following is an extract from
IA private letter -
while at Vernon / stepped into. a
wooden factory The most interesting
object was the machine for mapping
cloth-a cylinder, provided with teeth
like carding machine, which revolving
against the cloth, maps it. 1t was, how
ever. in the construction OF the machine
and not in its mechanism or use, that
was interested The teeth referred to-,
instead Of being of wire, as one would
expect, are formed by placing in juxtapo-
sltlon IN iron frames great numbers of
teaseis, gigantic huckle-burs, the spears
of which, all curved in the same direc
ton, are sharp, strong and elastic. Up
on inquiry If the use of these burs was
n vel Or economir. : was told tina they
had been used n,.Idred years, ana no
artificial substitute had been devised.
The revelations of the microscope ex-
plain the superiority of the teasel over
the hadiwork of man. Under the mi
croscope, all nature points, the points
OF the thistle for example, are absolutely
sharp, appearing as sharp under mag
nitying power of 5000 diameters as to
the naked; whereas, the finest points
made by man, as those Of cambria nee
dies, under the microscope, are seen to
be blunt. 1t is impossible for man to
make points as sharp as those of the tea
sci. We may presume, therefore, that
these o:gaaic cards will be found in facto-
rles so long as cloth Is mapped. -
