Damaging Testimony.

|
Senator Sprague of Rhode Island
has recently given to the country some
very important information concern
ing the condition of the business affairs
Of the country land his lifting of the
curtain exhibits anything but a lovely
picture of how things are managed in.
our National Congress. During de.
bate in the Senate, on the 3Oth ult., Mr..
Sprague said.
"Any man who takes an independent
position in this country contrary to
those who are welding unbounded
capital over the business, the legisla-
ton, and the capital of this country
those who make Senators here the point
for their attack and who corrupt whcr
ever they touch--must expect to be met
by such means as these. Ii there is a
man in this chamber, or in the other
House, or occupying any official posi-
ton, who can stand against the cor
ruptivc influences and powers that in
these times are brought to bear upon
him, he is surely more than human.
1t cannot be done by ordinary man.
These corruptive influences are to-day
riding rough-shod over all the indus
trial interests of this country Yet
the Senator from massachusetts Mr..
WILSON, tells us all is serene and pros
porous. The capitalists Of the coun-
try, he said, were controlling everything
and capitalist was a man who had q
large amount of money, or whose pc.
sition enabled him to command it, and
and who generally knew nothing about
the business interests of the people of
the country, and cared nothing about
them except to use them for his own
profit The great banks of New York
and other places, which welded the
capital of the country, were managed
by men who knew nothing about the
business interests and relations of the
people, and yet the Congress and legis-
lation of the country were influenced
and governed by the managers of the
banks both by open and indirect in
fiuence. He knew himself OF q legisla.
tor, a member of a committee, who
had been asked to report upon a mat
ter certain way, and the the tempta.
ton held out before him was 800, 900.
The worst and most alarming feature
of the matter was that the moving pow
ers could not be punished. Some
times the people become aroused and
strike out some mere tool of the cor
ruptions, but they could never reach
the root of the matter except by the
plan embodied in this bill to provide
the loaning Of the public money. He
had studied the country deeply, for
the last three years, and he believed
that he fully apprehended it, and be
had not exaggerated it,
Their own wickedness will certainly
overtake them. E.

Outdoor Safety.

The fear of the weather has sen
multitudes to the grave, who other
wise might have lived in health many
years longer. The fierce north vino
and the furious snow storm kill com
paratively few, while hot winter rooms
and scorching summer suns have
counted hecatombs Of human victims
to attest their power. Exceptin local
tiles where miasms prevail, and that
only in warm weather, out door life is
the healthiest and happiest, from the
tropics to the poles. The general fact
speaks for itself, that persons who arc
out of doors must take cold least. In
some parts of the country nearly one.
half of the adult deaths are from dis.
cases Of the air passages. These all.
ments arise from catching cold in some
way or another; and surely the reader
will take some interest in subject
which, by at least one chance out Of
four, his own life may be lost. All
colds arise from one of two causes.
LIST, by getting cold too quick after ex-
ercise, either as to the whole body. or
any part of it; I'd, by being chilled and
remaining so for a long time, from
want of exercise. 10 avoid colds from
the former, we have only to go to
q fire the moment the exercises cease
in the winter. If in summer, repair at
once to a closed room, and their re-
main with the same clothing on, until
roolcd Off TO avoid colds from the
latter cause (and these engender the
most speedily fatal diseases, such as
plcurisies, Group, and inflammation Of
the lungs, called pneumonia, we have
only to compel ourselves to walk with
sufficient yigor to keep off feeling Of
chillness. Attention to precept con-
tanned in less than q dozen words,
would add twenty years to the average
of civilized life. Keep array chillness By
exercise cool of slosoly. Then you
never will take cold. in door or out.

Time for Planting Strawberries.

Time for Planting Strawberries.
Some advocate setting strawberry
plants in the fall; others in June or
July; and still others, and we believe
the larger number, think the last OF
April or first of May the better time.
After many years of experience, we
have no hesitation in saying that the
best time Of the whole year is Spring.
The frequent and genial flowers of that
season are favorable to the growth OF
the plants; and they soon get hold
so as to be able to Withstand the heat
of summer and the frosts of winter.
When in summer, unless frequently
watered. the plants soon dry up and
die. If set in the fall, they are very
likely to be thrown out and destroyed
the following winter.

Adjusting Expenses.

An English paper in this pleasan'
and forcible way begs people to dra"
the important distinction between
regulating their expenditures by other
peoples instead Of by their own wants
and purses:
eff you want to live in vain show,
regulate your expenditure by the ex-
penditurc of your neighbors; if you
want to live wisely and mantully, regu,
late your expenditure by your actual
wants, including, Of course. the wants
ofyour mind as we'll as those of your
body, and the wants ofyour family as
well as your own, Comely dress is a
good thing, and a proper application
of your money but dress of FAR
ticular cut and color, not wanted for
any other reason except that Mrs.
Goldsmith or Miss Filagree over the
way has got one, is not Legitimate or
thrifty expenditure. If you really
want better house than that you now
inhabit, more airy, more free from
damp, more fitted to the size of q
glowing family, the likelihood is that
you could not make more likely use
of your money; but if neighbor Gil.
pin has recently had windfall, and on
the strength of it has taken q handsome
villa, and seems to hold his nose in
rather higher stratum of the atmos-
phere than he used to, don't you take
the villa opposite merely to be on an
equality with him. A phaeton is a
nice thing to have, and drive in a
clear summer day brings bloom to
the checks Of the wife and children. All
right; have you a phaeton-providcd
always that your reason of buying it is
not that your wife cannot bear to sec
Mrs. Tomkins lodging from phaeton
while she walks afoot, and provided
also that the money thus laid out is
not not required for more substantial
wants, such as a good schooling for
the boys and fair provision against a
rainy day. A trip to the seaside may
be of such benefit to the family as to
pay itself in the way of shortening
doctors bills; but the seaside breezes
and the bracing waves have never en-
tered the service of fashion, and they
will do you and yours as much good at
a cheap watering place as dear one.
1t is needless for us to extend our it,
lustrations. Every reader who keeps
his eyes open and can observe what is
going on in society around him, will
be able to add to the list. There is
practically no great difficulty in dis.
tinguishing between the expenditure
which is incurred for show and that
which is incurred for sound and sub
stantial reasons.
