M1sTooK THE ARTIoLE,-A young
lady stepped into one of the street cars
the other day, and dropped her hand
kerchief upon vacant seat, as much
as to say, "taken," while she advanced
to the other end of the car to deposit
her fare. Meantime nicely dressed
young man jumped in and sat down on
the handkerchief without observing it.
The young lady, after paying her fare,
turned back, discovered to her chagrin
her seat was occupied, aud sat down
opposite, ladies making room for her.
But she did not desire to lose her
handkerchief, SO she looked intently to-
ward the place where she had left It,
hesitating whether to ask for it or not.
Discovering the direction of her looks,
all eyes on the opposite side of the car
were soon bent on the young man.
Finding himself the object of so much
attention, he himself looked and dis
covered to his horror something white
ON which he sat, the end peeping out.
He mistook its character. To cover it
with his hand, and to tuck it nicely
away, was the work of few moments.
None in the car but the young lady
knew that the something white" was
a handkerchief, and hesitating still more
to ask him, she lost it,

Cold yyeather in Paris.

many years since we have had so much
severe weather before Christmas. The
frost last night was intense; at six this
morning Chevaier's thermometer
marked nine degrees below zero. Al
about three this afternoon, while the
streets were exceedingly clean and dry,
a slight sleet fell for a few minutes,
and, freezing as it fell, formed a thin
coat of ice on the foot pavement and
causeways, SO slippery that an expert
skater might easily have skated alloyer

nibus in the Faubourg st. Honore,
when the sleet fell, and the horses sud-
denly came to standstill. The pass
eDgers, among whom were several la
dies, had to get out three times before
reaching the Madeleine. Instead of
riding in the omnibus we had to push
behind to get it along, and many vol
unteers so employed lost their footing
and fell down. Our case was but one
of hundreds which occurred simultane-
ously. On the Boulevsrds | found all

The DIVORCE BUsINEss.-The Chi
eago Times assigns the following rea
son why Chicago wives are SO intent
on getting divorces
1t is found in the vast attractiyeness oi
Chicago men. There are so many SUI
perb, delightful men in Chicago, that
but few women can resist the desire to
marry as many of them as they can.
Hence as soon as q woman is married
to one man, she gets a divorce, not be-
cause she has anything against him,
but that she may marry another. And
so the process of divorce goes an ad lib
and al infHitRm. There is no woman
in the divorce business who expects to
be able to marry every man in Chi
cago, but some are bound to come as
near it as they can and we must add
that their perseverance is meeting with
very fair success.

Influence.

Robert Collyer says: "Out of your
life there flows, every day, some spirit
usl influence as true in its nature and
degree as any ever known. You may
never write book or even letter, but
then, no more did Jesus Christ No
mistake can be greater, than to suppose
that l have done my duty by my home,
in filling it with plenty; or my children
in securing them the best teachers OF
that l have true to my marriage vows
because l have kept myself pure, and
never stinted my wife in her expenses ;
or TO church and State because 1 have
voted right on election days, and been
in my time deacon. 0, friend l tell
you unspeaksbly more is that myster-
ious and most holy influence of sound,
elastic, cheerful human soul, in body
to match. l see once in while a
home, in which l am just as sure that
it is impossible for the children to go
ya1ically wrong, as it is for the planet to
turn the other way upon her axis. The
whole law of their life, of their spiritual
grsyitation, is fixed by the stoDg, sweet
father and mother, resolute. above all,
to preserve this right attraction though
there may be less at last in counted col

Turning The clock Rack,

Where the Democratic party obtains
power it falls at once to work repeating
the enlightened an progressive measures
enacted by the Union Republican party,
and demanded by the spirit of the age.
The Ohio Legislature was scarcely seat
/ ed in the Capitol before a resolution
was introduced TO rescind the action of
the State in ratifying the Constitutional
Amendment. New Jersey is claimed
as the next State which will withdraw
its ratification. But straws like these
are not needed to indicate which way
the party wind is blowing. This retro
grade policy is announced from Wash
ington as the policy of the party.
So far as it can possibly be done, the
Democracy aims to repeal the measures
enacted by the Union Republican party
and to place the country where it stood
before The rebellion, in the hands of It's
enemies, and with its heel upon the
neck of the black race. The annonce-
ment of the Ohio Democracy that the
party does not desire the restoration of
Slavery, means only that they have no
desire to see the same system restored.
But that they desire the virtual re-en-
slavemen tof the black man is not denied.
Every utterance, ever vote, every mea-
sure proposed where they have gained
temporary power, is instinct, with hos
tility to his elevation. He must be
denied the ballot, kept in the condition
of ignorance and helpessDess in which
slavery left him, and made the serf, if
not again the slave, ofthe rebel The
Freedman's Bureau, the reconstruction
measures, and whatever else has been
enacted, for his education and elevation,
would go down, had they the power.
They have unlimited faith in the capa-
city of the Southern people to manage
the negro, and they would ture him
over to the tender mercies of the rebel,
and wipe their mouths with satisfaction
at the deed. The real issue between
the two parties is still the black man.
And until all the rights are accorded
him which are possessed by all other
races in the country, he must still be, or
rather his wrongs must still be, the
element in our politics. This
issue divides the parties into party of
justice and party of injustice. The
one is progressive, the other retrogres-
sive. The Union Republican party
during its administration has set the
clock of the nation forward and in keep
ing with the true time of the age, the
Democracy insists upon turning it back
and setting it by the clocks Of the Old
World. Toledo Commercial.

The Steam Man.

L AkO SSOGAAA
Few men have been more talked o
or wondered at during the past fortnight
than Mr.. Deddrick's steam man-cer.
tainly. none in as short an existence
have become so widely famous. Many
persons incredulously received the story
of its creation, and ridiculed the idea Of
an iron man moved by machinery.
Several accidents in experimenting per-
suaded others that the project was only
visionary, and could never become an
available power. A few practical ma
chicists, however, sympathizing with Mr..
Deddrick, were confident of success.
Their hopes have been realized, and
now the wonderful piece of mechanism,
if it could but speak, would undoubted-
ly exclaim "Homo sum p The delays
that were experienced in introducing
his majesty to the public were occasion
ed by weakness of the knees, brought
on perhaps by over excitement in view
of the trial to which he was to be SUBJ
jected.
The old spiral springs which we des-
cribed as being necessary to throw the
foot forward have been superseded by
stronger ones Of more simple construc-
tion. Yesterday steam was generated
and he (erita performed to the entire
satisfaction of admiring friends. Last
night a trial trip was made through
Broad street to Crump's garden, op-
posite Military Park, where the machine
will be exhibited to the public during
the coming week. Mr.. Deddrick has
been almost beseiged by the calls of the
curious and floods of letters have pour
ed in from all parts of the country.
A crowd of Newarkers, the day after
the publication of the description of the
invention incur columns, tlronged the
doorway and effectually darkened the
windows of the shop, tbreatning to de-
ter the machinists from completing
their work. A large United States flag
which some, enthusiastic individual has
presented to the inventor, has been ar
ranged so as to allow the "man" some
privacy, and the beseigers are dropping
off in their attentions. One day last
week, committee of five gentlemen
from Albany called upon Mr.. Deddrick,
to decide a bet as to whether there was
any reality in the thing, as it was thought
by some that it was only newspaper
hoax. Nearly fifty letters, asking for
further information, have been receiy-
ed. Some contain orders for men and
for territorial rights for the
and sale of them.
A gentleman from Chicago thinks
the affair is. just what is needed for
work upon the prairies and level lands
Of the West, and proposes that it be al
owed ito walk to Chicago" as the SEN
'ation produced would eclipse Weston's
N his pedestrian trip Other parties
nakeequally encouraging propositions.
Some are exceedingly facetious. A
,erson in Pennsylvania wants male
md female, that he may stock his place.
Among the letters are five from la
lies pretending to be in search of hus- ;
bands. One gentleman wanted lady
made to order, but the inventor ungal-
antly replied that as his creatures do {
lot talk he is doubtful whether wo-
nan would be success.-Mework Id

DR.. O.good and Gen. Grant.

In New Years article in the Li6er
al Christia5 DR.. Samuel Osgood refer
TO the discourse delivered by him or
Thanksgiving Day, and, after few
words on general politics, comes out
squarely as follows for Gen. Grant:
The instinct of the people moves in
historical cycles, and they are feeling
now as never before the great pulses Of
civic life that have been swelling the
veins of the nation for nearly an hun
dred years. One administration Of the
length of George Washington's will
bring us to 1875, the centennial of our
National Independence. Let us repeat,
as nearly as we can, that administration,
and call to the Presidency the man who
best represents the policy of that Father
of our Country. As things look now
to me, 1 see one man who, beyond all
others, upholds the flag and bears the
sword of Washington, and is as ready
as he was to submit that sword to the
majesty of the law, and lift up that flag
above the clutch of party spirit into
the upper air of brave and broad patriot
ism. l thought it proper, in the recent
Thanksgiving sermon in All Souls
Church, to express myself on grounds
of Christian patriotism, and am sure
that the pastor Of that Church would
have done the same. l called no names
then, but am willing to call a name now,
and to say that Gen. Grant seerns to be
the providential man for our time. My
word is of little weight in pubic mat
ters, but every man should say his say
at the proper season. | may say this
the more distinctly now, as meaning to
keep out of the political arena, and
only use the old fashioned liberty Of
Thanksgiving sermon and this note,
which is its sequel.

Something ON Rats.

There were no rats in California be
fore the gold discoveries. Then, il
lS49, they were imported by sea, in the
rats worst shape, that of the brown OIL
Norwegian variety. Few Of the inter
ior towns were visited until 1852. Now
they invest all prrts of the State. In
1850 there were no rats in New Mexico
and it used to be a speculation how
long the adobe houses would resist theil
gnawing teeth, whenever they saw fit to
establish themselves in that country. II
is said that the rat was unknown before
the Christian era, and that his first ap-
pearance in Europe was long after the
middle ages. This was the black rat,
coming from no place of which we now
have any record. He soon spread all
over Europe, and from his hostility to
the mouse, which has been known
through all recorded time, it is strange
that the small rodent have not been ex-
terminated. He would be were he not
perhaps more prolific than his bigger
brother. -.--t EEfg.F
The brown rat was not known in Eu-
rope before the 18th century, and
though called Norwegian rat, was
actually imported from India. He is
the strongest and most ferocious and
destructive of his tribe. To-day, it is
said, there is not black rat in Paris,
the race there having been killed out
by the browner animal. This species
is widely known all over the United
States. The ravages Of the rats o. both
species are enormous. How they can
be got rid of is question worthy of
The attention Of Legislators. Such
sermiD, if possible, ought to be ex-
terminated; rat, no matter how do
nesticated he may be, has no more
light to live in a civilized community
han a wolf or wild cat.
