The New Orleans Tribune gives the follow
ing capital contrast Of the two MOseses, Of
whom Andrew Is the latest specimen
The true Moses was the meekest Of men; our
Moses Is the most mulish. The true Moses
was slow Of speech, and hsd his brother for u
mouthpiece; our Moses unfortunately speaks
for himself. The true Moses was a great law
giver; our Moses Is q notorious law-brcaker.
The true Moses forsook Egypt, not fearing the
wrath Of its king; our Noes has gone to Egypt
for help. The true Moses has turned his back
on the foe Of his country I; our Moses has turn
ell his back on his friends and the friends Of his
country. The true Moses "endurtd" 10 tho
end; our Moses Mas betrayed and abandoned
the cause to which he swoc allegiance. The
true Moses lei an oppressed people out Of bond-
age; our Moses promised to do Il, but leit them
to their foes. The true Moses lei an oppressed
people out Of bondage our Moses promised to
do Il, but left them to their foes. The true
Moses laborcd to save the people from the bite
of fiery serpcnts; our Moses has sought to have
all the people bitten by them. e., by Copper
heads. When the true Moses dici, the children
Of Israel wept for him 80 days; when our Mo
ses shall leave the White House for Tennessee,
all the people will say amen. The man who
rceled into office ought 10 be ruled out.

and no bill was ever vetoed upon this account
until now.
Prccelents show that Congress has on different
occasions authorized the President to remove
military or naval officers for certain reasons,
plainly Indicating power to dismiss such officers
at pleasure. But so far asremovals and dismis-
sails are concerned the Constitution makes no
difference between these officers and those In the
civil service. 1.-THE Tenurc-of-O Office bill Affect
ell Mr.. Stanton's commission at all II must have
been vacated either April 4, 1866, or on the pas
sage Of the act, Mar. >, 1867. But the Prcsl-
dent rrcogni1ci him as Secretary Of War after
that, and, IL he shall succeed In convincing the
Senate that Mr.. Stanton has been acting as &c.
rotary OF War against the pensions Of the Tenure
Of. Once act then the President committed an
impclchablc ofiensc in recognizing Stanton as the
incumbent Of that Office contrary to law. But
the President suspended Stanton under that act,
and he is therefore estoppcd by his solemn OIL
cial acts from denying the legality md oonstitu-
tional propriety Of Mr.. Stanton's position. The
ad inicrim appointment Of Gen. Thomas was u
legal, because Secretary Stanton had not died or
resigned, neither was he sick or absent from his
post, and also because General Thomas was not
the head of another executive department Lieut..
Gen. Scott Was once appointed Soc. Of War ad
inisrin, before the restraining act Of 1868,
which requires the detail Of the head Of another
department, and Gen. Grant was appointed ad
iaisrim, upon the suspension Of Mr.. Stanton,
under the provisions Of the Tcnure-of-O Once act
But ifthe President did not suspend Stanton
under that oct, then his appointment Of General
Grant Vas unauthorized by Law and q violation
Of his cath ofofice. The President urges that,
believing tho Tenure-o,-0 Office act to DO uneon-
satnt'onal. he had Alright to yiolats Il for the

Premature Burial.

There are some persons who have
passed through life with this bugbeal
always terrifying them.some who
leave in their wills solemn injunctionl
to their friends to adopt most extraor
dinary precautions on their behalf
against the possibility of such an oc
currence-piercing the heart closing
up the windpike, and the like. Under
all ordinary circumstances, such appre-
tensions are wholly superfuous, as the
advent of death is attended with GER
tain signs, in regard to which mistake,
at least by a physician, is well nigh i'm
possible. But on the continent Of
Europe, it appears, this fear is so gen.
eral, that, in some cities, great pains
have been taken to ally it. Rev. DR..
Bellows, writing from Nuremburg, says
that in the cemetery there is house,
pleasantly arranged amid 6ower-beds
and shurbs, to which all the dead are
at once carried, after being laid out, and
there placed on beds, each with bell
pull so connected with the hand that
the least motion of the supposed corpse
on reviving must arouse the attendant
and bring instant attention. All this
humane precaution has never yet been
rewarded with single call upon its
watcbfulness. Once, however, in a
case where the deceased had died of
dropsy, the subsidence of water caused
fall of the arm-the bell rang, and the
attendant, who had watched for years
for the sound, was SO frightened that
he ran from his post and alarmed the
neighbors, who, after some time, rallied,
and discovered the cause Of the alarm.
DR.. Bellows thinks this system not
worth adopting in America-though
we commonly bury to early for decency.

what we SHAH Get from Asia,

When trade once fairly opens between
our Pacific States and their opposites il
Asia, we shall find that the swarmina
laborers of that vast hive of population
will furnish US a thousand things tc
contribute to our comfort and enjoy
ment, at rates that appear exceedingly
small compared with prices that are
paid for similar articles of use and
luxury made in Europe and in this
country. A ship load Of Chinese wares
was recently seized by the custom of,
ficers of San Francisco, and the invoice
contained articles like the followingi
Handsome sets of porcelain, bought
for four dollars set. ee
Beautiful fans, painted by hand in
brilliant colors, with figures Of dragons
and Chinese beauties, purchased at q
cent each.
Spades for garden use, bought in
China at the cost of q few cents each.
Straw hats of good quality, invoic-
50 at cent oacnI f tt
Nice baskets, In sets of four, costing
in the Celestial Kingdom but four cents
a set. n
And other commodities, the product
of Chinese industry, procured in that
country at prices proportionately small.
We hear that some of these articles
are to be sent on to the Atlantic coast,
as illustrations of the abundance Of
labor in the market of China, the
maryelously small cost at which all
commodities of Chinese handiwork can
be procured, and the still more mar
yelously small cost at which family
can make a shift to subsist in country
where labor is so exceedingly cheap.

The Absurdity of Drinking.

1t has become sort of popular
almost national-faith that tits not pos
Isible to be truly happy unless you
drink. Among certain elasses--and
they are by no means exclusively the
Ilowest-drink is the beginning and end
of everything. The very name Of
liquor SHIELD to be synonymous with
enjoyment, and the. dearer the liquor
the more it is priced and coveted. Yet
every man who is not downright
Idrunkard is well aware that the pleas
ures of drinking are, beyond a certain
point, moekery, a delusion and 4
snare. l put it to any one who has
stood half the night at a bar, or sat
half the night in club room, drinking,
smoking and bandying reckless talk, if
the enjoyment of such an evening has
been like that of few quiet hours
spent at home with book or newspa-
Ipers The evil influence of tavern pleas
ures on the health is too obvious to be
denied by any one, and the illusory
nature of the pleasures themselves
would be undeniable also, if the per-
sons who indulge in them did not de-
|ceiye themselves and put the truth out
of sight. .us'sli'sss5f Ha Eaa %
No one ever brought any good out
of a drinking bout yet. 1t is a short,
feyerish spasm of animal enjoyment
which leaves nothing behind but mo-
roseness regret, bad temper, self-re-
proach and headache. l should like
to ask you, sir if You say your prayers
when you come home in that state 2
No-you don't. You are ashamed to
say them. You postpone them until
you have purged yourself, your mind
and your lips by more sober and ration
al behavior Next night when you
pass the hours quietly at home with
book or friend, you feel that you have
had real enjoyment, and that the time
has passed pleasantly; that you have
learned something and that you have
not injure your health. You are not
ashamed to say your prayers, and you
get up the next morning with clear
head, a good appetite, and an increased
faculty for work and enjoyment of life.

PHYSICAL NEED OF SADBArn.-Mr.
Greeley, the Editor of the New York
Tribune, has given his testimony to
the Importance of the Sabbath to the
workman; "Without picking a quar-
rel with any mans theology, we con-
slider the weekly day of rest a most ben
eGcent institution, one that all who pro-
fess to regard and uphold the rights Of
labor should cherish. We are conf
dent that the great mass of mankind
would be neither better clad, fed nor
housed, if every day alike was given to
labor, than they are with every seventh
day set apart for other uses than those
of secular toll and care" While in
Europe, this common-sense observer
thus gave his impressions of a Partisan
Sabbath: II supect that labor gets no
more pay in the long run for seven
days work per week than it would for
six; and that morality suffers and phil
anthrophy is more lsnguid than it
would be if one day in each week was
generally welcomed as day of rest
and worship"

Coon FARAlSe.-Henry Robb, o.
Medina county, O., was awarded the
premium for the best acre of corn by
the Wayne and Medina Agriculture
Society. The land was second bottom,
and been cleared twenty-seyen years,
and half the time under blow. It had
been in pasture two years before plow-
ing for the premium crop in the middle
of April. 1t was narrowed soon after
being plowed, and again just before
planting. 1t was planted on the 5Oth
of May, and worked five times, twice
in row, with Priggs' Cultivatcr. The
whole expense of growing, cutting up
and husking, was $le.75. He harvest
ed 1o3 bushels of ears, worth SOC per
bushel, $61.5O, and counted two loads
of fodder at SO, making total Of
s7l.5o, atfording a net profit of SOL
70. The whole field of 10 acres gave
1O4O bushels shelled corn, and COZ bu.
per acre. The premium acre gave 81
bushels of shelled corn.
