The people already believe this curse Is the

We do not care to dwell on the gross
misstatements of facts here made-as, for
Instance
]. That the Five-twenties are payable not
in gold, but in grcenbacks
.. That the national debt amounts to
one fifth Of the property, real aud personal,
Of the whole country
The property Of our people is worth more
than thirty thousand millions of dollars,
| though it was officially returned in 1860 at
sixteen thousand millions The debt is not
! eight per cent. Of the value Of that prop

Mr.. Pendleton proposes an Issue Of two
thousand millions ofadditional grcenbacks-
for our interest-bearing debt exceeds that
sum. What would they be worth if our
currency were thus swelled by two billions of
fresh paper, redeemable in nothing and new
or? What would these greenbacks buy?
What would all the mortgages and all the
outstanding debts in the country be worth
after such an issue? The public debt would,
Of course, be sponged out, and its holders
beggared; but what other class Of creditors
would fare better?
What Mr. Pendleton proposes is, in our
view, precisely pudiation-"only that,
and nothing more -repudiation of the ma
tional debt first, and of all debts as insep-
arabic thereirom
Can we be mistaken in this? Our read

upon their judgment is based be given to the
jury?
There are few Democrats of higher per-
sonal character, or of more signal personal
probity, than George H. Pendlcton When
lie talks like a villain, you may be sure that

BADEN-BADEN.

An invalid Englishman, travelling, twenty
years ago, as he expressed it, TO find "a
pleasant retreat in which to die, spoke of
this famous watering place as follows:
1t was with a rare audacity that the devil
pitched his tent in Baden! Perhaps, on
the whole Continent, another spot could not
be found so fully combining, in a small cir
cult, as many charms of picturesque scene
ry; and it was bold conception to set down
Vice, IN all its varieties, in the very midst
of-in open contrast, as it were, to a scene
Of peaceful loveliness and beauty.
0ne-half this criticism-that which re-
fers to the organized and protected local
wickedness-is beyond denial but | have
not been captivated by the supernal natural
features of Baden Baden. 1t is charming
combination of fine mountain scenery, and
the town itself is interesting in its century
old houses, It's modernized streets and build
ings, and its quaint rural avenues in which
curious wares in wood and crystal are sold
to strangers; but there are some grander and
lovlier places in the United States, and ma
ny certainly in Switzerland The chief
feature of Baden-Baden is its legalized
gambling temple. This palatial edifce is
called, by strange misnomer, the Con-
versation House" As the chief element
and condition of all serious gaming is 81

The Conversation House is a model of ar

great assembly room, where the chief rou-

morning until twelve at night (Sundays not
exeeptad), is nearly the size of Musical
Fund Hall, in Philadelphia and its polish
ed waxed floor, gorgeous drapery, elegant
per-glasses, and luxurious sofas are in the
best styles of European art. Here the balls
and parties of the elite are also given; upon
which occasions the roulette table is remov-
ed to the adjoining rooms, equally splendid
and ornate. In these are always to be found,
between the hours named, roulette tables
and the great game of cards called in
French Treate Ct Quaante, " and in
English Thirty Forty an invention

HOW TO AVOID A BAD HUSBAND

l. Never marry for wealth. A woman S

eth
.. Never marry a fop who struts about
daDdy-likc in his gloves and ruffles, with a
silver headed cane and rings on his fingers.
Bewarel There is trap.
3. Never marry a niggard, close listed,
mean, sordid wretch, who saTos every pen
ny, or spends grudgingly. Take care lest
he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, whose char
acter is not known or tested Some females
jump into the fire with their eyes wide open.
5. Never marry a NOPE or drone, one who
drawls or draggles through life, one foot
after another, and let's things take their own
course.
6. Never marry a man who treats his
mother and sister unkindly or indiferently.
Such treatment is a sure indication of a
mean and wicked man.
7. Never, on any account marry gam
gler, profane person, one who In the least
speaks lightly of God or religion. Such a
man can never make good husband.
s. Never marry a sloyen, man who is
negligent of his person or his dress, and is
filthy in his habits. The external appear
ance is an index to the heart.
/ 9. Shun the rake as snake, viper, de-
mon.
TO- Finally, never marry man who i;
addicted to the use Of ardent spirits. De-
pend upon it, you are better off alone, thar
you would be tied to man whose breath i:
polluted, and whose vitals are being gnawed
out by alcohol.

WITH ALL the hard practicability of Amerl-
can life, there is in it a strong undercurrent
of speculative thought, liking to dwell on
the immaterial and mysterious part Of ma
ture Left toitself, the tendency degener-
ates into spiritualism, table wrapping, mes
merism, and all kindred follies, in their
foolishest phases. Trained and instructed,
it can find boundless and worthy field in
graphing with those subtle questions which
in all ages have claimed the attention of
master minds.
Bad goods require dark rooms; and as
many articles OF merchandise seem valuable
till taken into the light, so there arc many
things which appear fair till they are set in
the light of Gods cOuntenance. Before
Him the friendships we often profess are
nothing but instances of selfishness; and the
prayers and praise we engage in are only the
forms of godliness. We may come to Ills
house as His people come, sit and hear Ills
words, and commend the preacher, and with
our mouths show much love- while He sees
our hearts going after our coyetouSness.
And how dreadful to think that He will
hereafter develop all, and diyulge all respec-
ting US; and that what we have always been
before Him, we shall be made to appear
before an assembled worldl
Pitiful! that man should so care fol
riches as if they were his own yet so use
them as if they were another S; that when
he might be happy in spending them, he
will be miserable in keeping them; and had
rather dying, leave wealth with his enemies
than, being alive, relieve his friends.

G. Watson.
As a critic Mr. O'Donnel is very kind,
preferring charitable silence to any display
of bitterness. Heis well acquainted with
the history and spirit Of music, and more
inclined to analyzing the suggestions and
style of the great composers than to inform
his readers how the different parts are rem
dered. He Is very well read, hard stu
dent, a warm hearted, generous gentleman,
rather given to distracted moods and
dreamy reveries-the result Of his poetic
temperament no doubt-who eomprehends
the dignity and importance of journalism,
and would be the last man in the word to
abuse the mower it gives him He is quite

PLAIN FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS.

1t should be borne in mind by every tax
payer of the nation that the enormous bur
den Of debt under which the country is
staggering, was fixed upon it by rebellion
inaugurated, foStered and strengthened by
the Democratic party.
1t should be borne in mind that this debt
was enormously increased by the aid and
comfort given to the rebellion while in pro.
gress, by the Democratic party, whereby the
rebels were encouraged to prolong thes strug-
gle against the Union armies, after all Other
reasonable hope Of success had been extin-
guished.
1t should be borne IN mind that the debt
of the nation was still further increased by
the efforts Of the Democratic party to Grip
pie and destroy the public credit, in the
midst of the struggle for national existence,
and that the national bonds were thereby
forced to heavy discount in contracting
loans with which to carry on the war, and
the national currency was thus largely redu-
ced below its true value in gold, thereby ad-
ding enormously to the cost of all material
purchased for the use of the Government,
1t should be borne in mind By every tax-
payer of the nation, that tho democratic
party stouIa l,lodgUuJ TO secure compensation
to the slayehoding rebels for every slave set
constitutional Amendment, thus adding an
immense and unjust burden to the already
onerous taxation under which the country
grOans.
1t should be borne in mind that all the
Democratic members in the House Of the
Fortieth Congress have placed themselves
upon the record, by their votes, in favor of
the monstrous proposition that the National
Government is liable, under the Reconstruc-
ton laws for every dollar Of the State debts
Of all the States in rebellion.
1t should be borne in mind by every tax
payer that the Democratic party, through
It's orators and writer's for the press, is com
mittcd to the unhcard of proposition that
the Confederate war debt, contracted IN the
iniquitous struggle to overthrow the Ma
tinnal Government, is justly chargeable
against the Government, and that this party
only waits the success of its insidlOus at
tempt, to regain power, to fasten this debt
upon the people of the United States.
1t should be borne in mind by every tax
payer, that the Democratic party has made
persistent and strenuous efforts to iniure
both public and private credit, and bring on
a financial crisis, such as will make it im-
possible for the nation to meet its obligations
promptly, thus carrying widespread ruin
throughout the country, and reducing to
beggary thousands of widows and orphans
and other worthy persons whose little all Is
invested in government bonds, for the re-
demption of which the faith ofthe Govern
ment is pledged. -UinerS, JouRdL

BEETHOVEN.

The personality and life of Beethoven
were profoundly lonesome. His immense
native power of mind and sensibility, early
set askew with the world of men, made him
peculiarly sensitive to exactions, sights and
lrrltatlons. The death or fckleness Of the
maiden he loved in his youth, apparently
made dark and sinister stamp on his char
acter ,tand lett permanent bitterness in his
blood. Ills aVerseness TO common inter-
course was aggravated by his poverty, his
deyouring absorption in the science of art
and OF music, and singular combination in
him Of aRkwardness and seorn, tender Diff
dence and titanic pride. The lack of popu-
lar favor, the incompetent condemnation his
wonderful compositions long suffered, must
also have beeen triai tending TO sour him.
Furthermore, as in case of every man of pri-
NAL genius, his transcendent originality
doomed him to determined struggle with
the past, an nncompromising iusurrection
against conventional authority and usage.
lie dehed the prescriptions of his predeces
sors, broke pedantic fetters, refuted his
teachers, made new rules for himself, up-
heaVed world dead in professional routine
and tradition, that he might inspire it with
fresh freedom and fresh triumphs; and thus.
pertorce, he stood alone, battling with OBJ.
scurIty, contempt and hate, until he slowly
conquered the recognition he deserved.
Finally, in addition to these previous causes,
the sternness of his isolation was made COM
plete BY the dreadful calamity of dense and
incurable deafness.
Dark, indeed, was his melancholy, bitter
the reyulsion of his capacious soul upon it.

with my own hands But Art held me back.
| could not leave the world until / had re-
vealed what lay within me. Resolved at
any cost to be himself, and express himself,
and leave the record to posterity, he left be-
hind opponents and patrons alike, and con-
secrated all to hisgenius and its ideal objects.
Occupying for long time room in re-
mote house On hill, he was called the Soil
tary of the Mountain. His life was that
of martyr of the old legends or an IRON
bound hero of the antique" Poor, deaf,
solitary, restless proud and sad sometimes
almost cursing his existence, sometimes in
etfably glad and grateful; softened now to
the softest yearnings of melancholy and
sympathy, now to tempestuous outbreaks of
wrath and woe, shut up in himself, he lived
alone, rambled alone, created alone, sorrow
ed and inspired and enjoyed alone.
