DIsBIIssALs FROM THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENr.-- IA Washington let
ter says Saturday was a t'blue dayn
to many of the clerks In the Treasu-
ry Department. About one hundred
male clerks IN the Second Auditors
Office, and seventy-five iii the Reg
isteris department, received yellow
covered envelopes, informing them
their services would be no longer re-
quiled on aceountof there being no
work for them to do. Secretary Me-
Culloch gave them permission 10 re-
sign, and all who agreed to do this
were granted one months leave Of
absence, with pay, but those who
declined to do sowere discharged at
once. This has caused q great deal
Of suffering, just at the commence
ment Of winter, as very few of these
parties save any of their money for q
i'rainy day. but live up to every
dollar they get--and more, too, some
times before 1T Is earned, 1t Is la
mentable, but nevertheless, true, and
the result Is, that when they get out
Of employment, they are plunged IN

Quinine Is produced from a forest
tree in South America, known as the
chinchona, Of which there are many
varieties, but the chinehona cansaya
and chinehona rubra yield the medi-
cine In great st abundance. So great
has been the demand that, in most
Of the districts whence it has been
obtained, the supplies are gradually
diminishing I; and as no substitute of
equal value is likely to be found, It
Il Of the utmost Importance that new

maica the ehinchona rubra has been
cultivated sufficiently to show that

PRESENTLY Never say you will
do presently what your reason or
your conscience tells you should be
done now. No man ever shaped his
own destiny or the destinies Of oth-
ers, wisely and well, who dealt much
in presentlies. Look at nature. She
never postponea. When the time ar
rives for the buds to open, they open
for the leaves to fall, they fall.
Look upward. The shining worlds
never put off their risings or their
settings. The comets even, erratie
as they are, keep their appointments;
and eclipses are always punetual to
the minute. There are no delays in
any of the movements 81 the uni
verse which have been pre-deter-
mined by the absolute will Of the cree
ator. Procrastination among the
stars might involve the destruction
of innumerable systems procrastin-
alton In the operations Of nature on
this earth, might result in famine,
pestilence, and the blotting out 81
The human race. Man, however, be-
ing free agent, can postpone the
performance Of his duty and he
does SO, too frequently to his own az.
struction. The drafts drawn by IN
dolence upon the future are pretty
sure to be dishonored. Make Now
your banker. Do not say you will
economize presently, for presently
may be bankrupt nor that you will
repent and make atonement present
| ly, for presently you may be Judged
| Bear in mind the important fact
taught alike by the history Of na
tions, rulers and private individuals
| that in al least three cases out D
five, presently is too late.

1t is proposed that Jefferson Davis
be made president of the university
of Mlssissipph If his commercial
ventures have failed, he might be
profitably employed at Oxford in his
own State. We doubt whether he
would be approved by our Eastern
countrymen as an instructor in polit-
ical economy, or as a lecturer to dis
enss the constitutional rights and re-
lations of the States. New England
has monopolized the business of MAX
ing American histories and school
bAoks until there is no truth in
American history, and no true phil.
osophy in systems Of political theo-
ries with which the mind Of Ameri-
can youth is imbued. The Radical
party Of to-day owes its potency to
New England school books, which
perverted in common schools the
fixed ideas of majority of those
who voted three weeks ago. The
country needs a reformation in Its
systems of popular instruction, and
q slight infusion Of MIR. Davis ideas
Of State rights would be by no means
harmful.

THE FRAUp AccoMPLIsHEp

THE FRAUD ACCOMPLISHED.
Not long before the recent elections
the Radical Congress reduced the
rate Of taxation on many articles.
The purpose Of this legislation now
becomes palpable. The New York
Tribune, and other Eastern organs
of those who are enriched at the cost
of agricultural States, now earnestly
insists that such rates of taxation be
imposed that tile country may at
once 60 back TO specie payments. 1t
is a curious fact that Radiealism
evinces but one single. purpose Of re-
trngression. 1T breaks down and de-
stroys the whole system Of constitu-
tional law and seizes every power
incident to despotic governmentsun-
til the Union Is itself only In its
name. The love Of money IL still
potent, and the necessity OF a Demo-
cratic currency confessed. Instead
Of adopting the Democratic mode of
restoring its existence by extinguish-
ing bonds with gIeenbaoks, Radical
ism, true to its masteTs, the bond-
holders, would impose still heavier
burdens upon an oYertaxed people.
When the rate OF taxation was re-
duced the reduction was only made
in favor of manufacturers. They
found their burdens lessened by sixty
millions. They were shrewd enough
to change their prices Ia nothing,
and popular burdens were undimin-
ished. Manufacturers pocketed sixty
millions thus donated by govern
ment ruled by "rings.n Meanwhile
the public debt has been steadily
augmented, and there arises q sufA-
cieRt prStext for heavier exaetions to
be met BY the toiling farmers and
mechanics of the country. In other
words, the party In power eontem-
plates no reduction of federal expen-
ses or diminution OF congressional
extrayaganee, but an augmentation
of public burdens. Sixty thousand
office holders and fifty thousand sol
diers and the all devouring army of
tax gatherers and the phalanx of
bondholders, who bought States and
controlled the election, will Indulge
in more extravagant debaucheries
than ever before. Unless Grant be a
veritable hero and protect the people
against these thieves, his Inaugural
ton day will be the saddest thateveT
dawned upon the country -LSt.
Louis Times.

THE.sEcRETARY OF STATE.

D.
In the British Government the
Secretary Of the Treasury stands at
the head of the Cabinet, but in the
American Government the Secretary
of State, who has charge OF foreign
relations, is considered to hold that
exalted rank. M
The President of every adninistra-
ton, from Washington down to the
present day, has selected the ablest
obtainable material in the party as
Secretary OF State. Look at the
bright constellation Of stars which
have shone in the State Department,

The PIE Boy WHO BECAME A
PRINCE. first Prince Mensehi-
kof was pie boy at Moscow, and
was delivering things at q noble
mans kitchen one day when Gar
Peter the Great was expected TO dine
at the house. While waiting about,
he overheard the nobleman give
special direction for the preparation
Of favorite dish of the Czar's, and
afterward, while the cook was alb
sent, the boy saw him place some
thing in a dish which he believed to
be poison. e +.
As soon as Menschikof' saw the
Car in the street, he cried out his
rolls more loudly than usual and
even began to sing, and approach the
Gzar to make himself seen. Peter
called to him and asked him some
questions, to which he answered so
happily that the Prince said, II will
keep thee in my serviee.n Menschi-
koff accepted the offer with Joy. At
dinner time, without orders, he en-
tered the banquet hall, and stood be-
hind Peter. When the dish ap-
peared, he bent down and whispered
nnot to touch it," Peter got up, and
with smiling face, made pretense to
take the hoy into an adjoining
apartment, when MenschikoR ex-
planned his suspicion. rs
Upon the Car returning to the ta-
bic, the Boyard again offered the
dish, and Peter asked him TO sit by
his side and partake with him. The
noheman colored, and said it became
not a subject to eat the same as the
Emperor, who, seeing hisembarrass-
ment, took the plate and offered 1t to
a dog, who swallowed all dts con-
tents. But few moments after
ward it began to run and howl, then
staggered, fell and soon expired.
The Boyard was secured, but next
morning was found dead In his bed.
Menschikoff had not to sell rolls
any longer; the first step to his rap
id fortune was made, and his descen-
dahts are a most powerful family In
Russia to this day.
