bears the character of being a most con-

the prisoner was his client, when he i'm
mediately continued, 'but what great
and good man ever lived who was not
calumuiated by his cotemporaries."

Interesting to Tea-Drinkers.

If you pour a few drops of strong
tea on piece of iron-a knife blade
for instance--the tannate of iron II
formed, which is black. If you mix
it'with iron filings or pulverized iron
you may make it fair article OF ink
If you nix it with fresh human blood
the tennate of iron. Now, when VIZ
remember the liquids which enter the
stomach are rapidly absorbed by the
veins and absOrbents of the stomach
and enter into the circulation, aric
are thrown out of the system by thu
skin, respiration, and the kidneys i
is probable that a drink so common
as tea, and so abundantly used, will
have some effect. Can it be possible
that tannin introduced with so mucf
warm liquor, producing perspiration
will have no more effect upon thu
skin ? Look at the tea drinkers o
Russia, the Chinese, and the old wO
men of America, who have so Ions
continued i'm the habit of drinking
strong teas--are they not dark-color
ed and leather skinned Whel
young they were of fair complexion

A Good Temperance Lecture.

While Noah was planting his vine-

says, What are you doing here,
Noah ? Planting vineyard, says
Noah. What is the use of vine
yard2 says the Devil. Its fruit,
says Noah, whether fresh or dry, is
sweet and good, and its wine glad
dens the heart. Let us work it on
the shares, says the Devil. Agreed,
says Noah. Now, what does the
Devil do2 He brings lamb, and 6

rifices them on the spot, and mingles
thei- blood with the soil. Where
fore, if man only eats the fruit Of
the vineyard, he is mild and gentle
as lamb; if he drinks the wine he
imagines himself lion; if he drinks
habitually, he becomes unmannerly
and disgusting as a hog; if he get:
drunk, he jabbers and jumps, and i:
as silly and nasty as monkey.-T'

A Case of Mistaken Identity.

Senator Henderson was lately in 6
sleeping car, On a crowded tram
coming into the capital. One of ouI
Ohio Congressman was also on the
train. A couple of ardent politicians
came in late and seated themselves
in one of the sections. "They say
that fellow Henderson, who sold us
out on impeachment, is on this train, u
said one. LET us look around and
see if We can pick him out. Such a
chap must be easily recognized by
the sort OF o face he'll be sure to
have" And 80 they looked up and
down, and finally settled on a burly
figure in a chaplain's suit of gray,
with buffalo hair thrust back In con-
fused masses from narrow but
strong forehead. "I'll bet any sum
that's the man. He looks it all over.
Just look at that treacherOus face
Why, he'll sell his grandmother s
bones, to say nothing of the Repub-
lican party.' And SO, on courte-
Gus suggestion from the lank. tall
gentleman sitting opposite, who had
been laughing with them 6Ver their
discovery of the "recreant' Senator
by his face, they gave way to let the
porter make up the berths.
This courteous gentlemen opposite
happened to be Senator Henderson
himself. Next morning he found
the joke too good to keep, and so
marched over to our Congressman
from the Second District, to tell how
some of their fellow-travelers had
been able to identify him General
Sam Cary to witt as the "recreant
Senator from Missouri because of
his treacherous face" which must
belong to a man who would sell out
anything" Report adds that Gen
eral Sam didn't seem to enjoy the
story half as much as the Senator.

but not before the World had pub
lished that l had, on Sunday morn

for Chase for the Presidency, and
against Grant; and l have seen the
story racing through the papers every
day since. There is not a word OF
truth in it, The sermon was not po-

either direction, was the work of the

He is splendid man to look upon

noble and good; makes them large

blurs the sharp lines and distinctions
between right and wrong, and leaves
them, in the eagerness of over selfish
desires, to become prey of bad men.

bition was consuming the better ele-

apt to succeed and not spoiled by

full in using them, with the rare gift
(which Washington had in an emf

from other mems counsels-

rs his military success has been, he
will hereafter be known even more
favorably for the wisdom of his civil
The seven-fold humiliations and
recantations through which Chase

Seymour look benignly down upon

The road to Cheynne westward rises to
the Grade Of eighty feet to the mile for
more than thirty miles, or until Il reaches
the summit of the Black Hills, which is
the highest point to be attained in the con.
struction of the great national highway
Eighteen miles west Of Cheyenne is a
point called Carmichaels. The town is
composed Of few huts, stables. &C., &C.
campaigning gin mills, besides few cars
on o side track. A few days since two
cars loaded with railroad iron were taken
from Cheyenne to this place, and, upon
their arrival, it becoming necessary to
detach the engine for short time, the
wheels of the car were blocked.
When the engine was about being at
tached the second time, the bumpers
struck, the wedges were knocked out, and
before the coupling could be effected the
cars had begun descent. Down they
went toward Cheyenne, and word was i'm
mediately flashed over the wires to mis-
place the switch at the city 90 they might
run of the track, a. it was supposed the.
wauld 20 the entire distance. Down the,
went fully at the rate Of two miles pei
minute for a distance of moret an fou
miles, gathering momentarily at ever,
turn Of the wheels. At last, in gettins
around curve the great force threw the
cars from the track, and, in an instant.
they were a total wreck. The iron wat
broken and twisted into thousand
fantastic shapes, while some Of the bars
were driven into the ground their entire
length. Fortunately no person was
