highly pleased a, this announcement. but
could not think who was - very kind a. to

tures. however he came To the conclusion
that il Wa -ome Old friend tha, he had As
sisted in former years
One year had passed; the paper con-
tiuued To- come, and \. was still ignorant
from whence it came; but one day nj a
hauling" he informed his nci ghbors Of
his good fortune, and expressed his fears
that he -hoald have To do without a paper
soon.
NO YOU shan't." said James in loud
tone of voice, for mother sent on three
dollars for you last week
We'll done, Jim" shouted dozen
voices, while a simultaneous roar Of laugh
ter ran along the line of teamsters.
n, who had previous to this announce
ment been remarkably cheerful and talka'
tive, became suddenly silent, while deep
red color, the emblem of shame, mantlcd
his brow This was good lesson for him.
Early the next morning he went and
paid Mrs. G. the six dollars, acknowl.
edged his error, and was never known af-
forwards to take less than two papers.
EATING WHEN EXHAUsTED.-Whcn the
strength of the nerve power is ALREADY worn
out, or used up, the digestion of food only
makes Il fresh demand upon us, and il
it be unable to meet the demand, the food
is only burden upon it,producing mischief
Our bodies have been compared with stcan,
engines, the food being the fuel and the
steam producing the nerve power. The
analogy holds good to certain extent. If,
when the steam is low, because the fire is
low, you pile in, too fast, a quantity of
coal, you put out your fire.
Beyond this the comparison fails. You
may clean out furnaces and begin again,
but in the body the consequences of this
overlooking are dangerous and sometimes
fatal No cause of cholera is more COM
mon than eating too freely when exhaust.
cd.
The rule should be to rest for time,
and take some simple retrcshmcnt, a cup
Of tea, a little broth, or even piece of
bread, anything simple and in small
amount, just to stimulate the stomach
slightly and begin to restore its power.
Atter rest, moderate quantity will be re-
freshing.
Never eat full meal when you are ex-
haustcd. Take first a small quantity Of
anything simple, which may be handy,
and rest Then, attcra time, the proper
food will be blessing, and not burden.
The fires will burn, the steam will be up,
and yon can go on your way safely.
1t is not amiss in this connection to say
that children would avoid many fcverish
night, and many an attack of disease, if
mothers would follow this rule.

the best definer of English words, and quoted
his definition Of "DemOcrap rs cone who
"favors the extension of the Right of Suffrage,
"to all classes of men, The World can only
say to this that some one else has, since the

portion of Mr.. Websters most important work

remind us of those of Alexander the Great
But it was Noah Webster, not his successors,
who achieved the reputation We ayerred, and
made the definition we quoted.
The World makes weak parade of erudi-

DENOCRACY-LIBERTY,

The World lately saw fit to take issue with
us on the radical differences which separate its
position from ours, but with more especial
reference to the politics of that portion of our
City population who live by pandering to vice
and dissipation. 1t admits that these are all
but unanimously on its side, but claims that
they are. as the dissolute have ever been, on
" the side of Liberty" We closed with this
assertion, and dared The World to arbitrate
the point thus made by it's the Demo
cratic party, in resisting the claim of -Four
Millions of our countrymen by birth to n
voice in the Government of the Re
public, on "the side of Liberty ?"--and-
The World having dragged the names of Victor
Hugo and John Bright into this controversy
we proposed to submit the point to them and
Joseph Garibaldi as arbiters. The World dares
not respond; but-withholding seven-eigbths
of our article, though We had published that
which it confutes almost entire tells its read
ers the untruth that
"THE TRIBUNE has refreGied from its bubble on the
word Liberty and makes final stand bubble upOn
the word Democracy"
Our readers can sec how villainously false
is the above assertion but the evidence which
demonstrates it is concealed from those of The
World How are they TO learn the fact that
we have never thought of retreaGng from our
claim that ours is the side Of Liberty while
it is also that of genuine Democracy

In the Senate yesterday the bill TO establish
bonded warehouses for whisky was adopted
The bill for the conversion OF registered bonds
into coupon bonds was killed by indefinite
pOstponemcnt. A bill was introduced putting
the distribution of printed public laws OF the
United States under the care Of the Congress
sional Printer. The bill for the relief
of towns in Nevada was amended and
passed. The Senate took up the resolution to
instruct the Judiciary Committee to report TO
abrogate the existing State governments in
the South and to provide provisional govern
ments in their stead Senator Morton spoke
strongly of the necessity of Congress at once
declaring its position with regard 10 rccOustruc-
ton, and charged that the very power (he
military that Congress charged with the tenn
pOrary government Of the South, was now con-
tTavcning and denying their authority, as in
tho case of Hancock. No special action was
taken. The remainder OF the session was spent
in discussion OF the bill to prevent contraction
Of the currency.
In the House, bills were introduced TO amend
the bankrupt law, and for the protection Of
witnesses. The joint resolution requesting the
President to Intercede with the Queen of Great
prsoned as Fcnian at Kingston, Canada, was
dOpted, and similar resolutions were adopted
in reference to other Fenian prisoners Tho
Senates amendments to the bill concerning
bonded warehouses FOR whisky were
cOncurred in. On resolution TO ap-
point d commission of five experts to
examine and report upon whisky meters and
all cOntrivances for ascertaining the quantity
and strength of distilled spirits, very long
and lively debate was enjoyed. Not much was
said about the meters, it is true but there was
a regular free fight (of words between some
half-dOzen Republicans and Democrats about
stealing and fraud, and which party was most
guilty of robbing the Government. The meter
resolution was not acted upon.

ago, was broken up by Democratic mob, and
that the perpetrators of the outrage, having
been arrested 10y the military authorities, were
Immediately turned over to the civil power
10y order OF Gen. Hancock. The civil power
of course, set them free, and Hancock knew
perfectly well they would do so; indeed, he knows
if he knows anything of his district, that there
is scarcely a county in Texas where the
civil authorities would not instantly
acquit any rufian who had killed a
negro or q Union man, even though
had done the act without prOyOcation, and in
sheer wantonness, rs did the villain Lusk,
whom the Johnsonites are now trying to get
INTO the hands of the civil power so that he
may escape the doom pronounced upon him by
the military court.
