SENSIBLE TALK FROM THE SOUTH
George w. Kendall writes from Texas
in the following sensible vein to his
old paper, the New Orleans Picayune:
'The lesson which adversity teaches
are hard yet they must be learned
And these lessons are always useful. /
know that it comes hard for a young
man to walk behind plow who once
rode behind fast trotter; nor Is it
agreeable to a young lady to make and
put on her dresses all by herself, who
formerly had couple of servants to
take these irksome jobs off her hands.
Yet l can see no other remedy, at least
for those who have simply been ruined
by the war, and the list is long one.
That large majority have accepted
the situation cheerfully | am glad to
say is true-l mean the situation to
earn their own living; ali must do it.
And there are many who think, and /
am one Of them, thSt in the long run it
will be all the better for the rising gen.
Grafton of the South-a generation
which is to follow one notoriously
brought up in ignorance of work and
Incidence as to any useful occupation.
The race of men growing up will be
more muscular-the women stronger
and heartier-and their children again
improve upon the stock. have never
heard that exercise was hurtful, and /
have consulted good physicians On the
subject.
'How often do We hear people COM
plain that they have been out all day
hunting for a servant without success.
Had they turned to in the morning
they could have done all their work
themselves in a couple of hours, and
saved money and shoe leather by the
operation. Too many people in the
South have been brought up to be
waited upon; they must now tie their
own shoes, and repeat that the sooner
they begin the better it will be. !
know that many think they can escape
this state of things by going to Brazil
or some other out-of-the-way country

LOGIC OF OPPosITIoN.-An old me

Logic OF OPPosITIoN.-Ano old mer-
chant of Naples, named MorelIi, who
had realized splendid fortune, form
ed resolution never, on any occasion,
to lose sight of the walls of the city that
had witnessed his growing prosperity.
He was man of great fixity of purpose
and fully content with his means, was
beyond the reach of temptation; never
the-less the duke set himself the task
of overcoming this fancy. With pro-
found knowledge of human nature, he
sent Morelli an edict from the king
forbiding him under the penalty of a
thousand crowns, ever to cross the
frontier of the kingdom. Morelli
laughed heartily at an order that CHM
ed harmoniously with his own inclina-
.tion. The joke was not less relished
by his friends, and many were the al
lusions to the superfuous severity of
the duke. Somehow, these jests at
length lost their raciness, Morelli ceased

recurring to conjecture! What could
possibly be the object of the govern
ment in placing this singular restraint
upon the movements of a peaceful and
loyal citizen? A thousand ideas haunt
ed his mind.
He began to lose sleep and health,
and in place of those came morbid
desire to do the very thing that had
been so strangely prohibited. He
gave it sway. Sending "a thousand
crowns to the duke, Morelli threw
himselfinto his carriage, and travers-
ed into the Papal States. He remained
a night, and then returned to Naples.
Informed of his return, the duke sent
five hundred pounds to the public hos
pital, and remitted the other half of the
penalty, to Morelli, with the words,
Opposition augments desire; adding,
that the five hundred pounds had suffi-
ced to teach the public how to deal with
a mailman.

VOL. 61.--WHOLE No. 5,4O2.
TRUE AS PREACHING.

If men and women were willing to
live within their incomes, disposed to
begin life at the bottom of the ladder,
obey the primary impulses of their ma
ture, and enter upon the cares, trials,
and pleasures of the domestic circle,
bind their hearts and twine their hopes
around the family altar, they would be
greatly the gamers. But here comes
the dificulty-they must live when
they begin, just as others are living, or
in better style perhaps, who for thirty
or forty years have been carefully and
economically journeying along until
they found they could afford to show
off little. 1t would be well if our
modern fair ones were more willing to
do as Eve did, when, with a new crea-
tion smiling around her, she and her
husband began their housekeeping. We
don't believe she thought the house
would look too common without a vel
vet tapestry on her parlor or sitting
room floors, nor do we believe she had
a chamber maid to nurse and run after
little Cain and Abel. There is little
doubt, in our mind, she made Adams
trowsers and hemmed his pocket hand
kerchief, fixed up his Sunday coat, and
hept things, generally, nice and tidy in
the house, While she was doing this.
Adam was probably tending his flock,
or working in the garden, fencing his
potato patch, and attending to out door
things generally. Thus they got along
"right smartly" and economically, be-
came quite rich and aristocratic, had
many children, lived to a good old age,
and died amor g friends. This after all
is the true way for both male and fe-
male. Begin upon small scale and
gradually rise from that point. Never
begin at the top and come down. -Au-

WHO car estimate the value of a
newspaper? No one, until hehas lostit;
until the pleasant periodical visits, like
the face ola dear friend, bringing such a
fund of wit, news and general intelli-
gence, that he is always greeted with a
hearty welcome, are withdrawn. 1t is in
one sense, the light of the world, with
out which the mental universe would
be as much in darkness as the terres-
trial is without the sun.
There are books, it is true, good, wise,
entetaining; but they donot tellus what
we want to know of passing events, or
direct us to the best place of business.
Neither do they inform us who of our
friends are passing away orgetting mar
ried or who is doing driving busi-
ness, or who is bankrupt, or who has
sailed from the Eastern Continent, or
who has returned from tour thither,

CALIFORNIA STYLE.-Notl long since
a German was riding along Sansame
street, near Sacramento, when he heard
pistol shot behind him, and heard the
whizzing of a ball near him, and felt
his hat shake. He turned and saw a
man with a revolver in his hand, and
took off his hat and found a fresh bullet
hole it it.
''Did you shoot at me ?'' asked the
German.

"that's my horse; it was stolen recent

"You must be Mistaken" said the
German; Il have owned the horse fol
three years.

mistaken. Excuse me sir; won't you

LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY.-The cor
ruptness of that political organization
which delights to style itself "the party
ofgreat moral ideas" is certainly un-
paralleled. The New York Times, it
self a consistent supporter of the party
to which large majority of the New
York Legislature belong, says that in
'65 the New York Central Railroad
wanted bill passed allowing an in
crease of fare. 1t was referred to COM
mittee of five. The chairman was not
for sale, but the other four demanded
$4,000 apiece for reporting in favor.
After much higgling they consented
to take $4,000 and this was paid, in
greenbacks. One became alarmed by
the opposition of his constituents, and
refused to vote for it in the Senate, but
insisted upon keeping his money, as
the price of reporting favorably from
the committee. A threat of exposure
made him give back the money. When
it came before the Senate one Senator
demanded $4,000 for his vote, $4,000
in advance, and $4,000 when it became
a law. The bill could not be passed
without him. The other Senators
could not get their money unless it
passed, and they insisted that the agent
should comply with his terms. 1t pass
ed, but Governor Fenton vetoed it. So
the poor man did not get his $4,000.
In the Assembly some members got
81 900 and some $3.50 for voting for it.
The editor of the Times says:
"The case here narrated is but one of
hundreds. Bribery has come to be the
rule-it is the regular way, and the only
way, in which bills sofgreat tmoney value
to corporations or individuals are pass
ed in our State Legislature and in our
Common Council, and there is scarcely
man who has ever had occasion to
seek the passage of such bills who does
not know this to be the fact"
Itmust have been nearly as corruptas
recent Radical Legislatures in Pennsyl-
Vania.

A STRANGE CAsE.-In Clinton, Hi
nois, young woman, over two years
ago, after washing windows, was re-
placing them, when she struck her
hand through the glass, running sew
eral long pieces into her hand. After
several days a physician was called,
and as was supposed, the glass all ex-
tricated. But it appears not to have
been the case, as large quantity was
left in the hand, which soon made its
appearance under the skin on her arm
and was cut out by her surgeon. 1t
continued spreading until it has ex-
tended to all parts of her body. 1t has
been extracted from her eyes, head,
arms and feet, and, in fact from all
parts of her body. Six months ago it
caused the lock-jaw, with which she
was afflicted for about six weeks, ex-
cept that she could drink between her
clenched teeth. At present she is a
raving maniac more than halfthe time,
and is in such agony as words will not
describe, and too ooincredible to tell. AT
intervals she is rational, and able to
sit up and do some work. Up to the
14th ult., ], 200 pieces of glass had been
cut out of her flesh.
