Two or three farms have al.

Southern congressman.

We have had very few Southern men
in Congress since reconstruction was
effected; the representatives from this
section being chiefly carpet-bagsers or
scalawags, who cannot be regarded as fit
types Of the people they have pretended
to represent. Of course, there are some
honorable exceptions to this rule, but
the South protests against being judged
by her so.callcd representatives, of tho
:type of Porter, in Virginia, Whittemore,
in South Carolina, and Butler, in Ten
nessee. When the South was permitted
to select her own representatives, through
constituencies in the several States that
lad some appreciation of the dignity of
the position and of what should pro-
r,sserly be expected Of rep1 esentative in
Congress, she furnished men that COM
manded respect for probity and honor,
ut least But, in these evil times,
brought upon us by the partisan legisla-
ton Of Congress itself, men who in
former times would never have been
--ieamed of for any position OF respeota-
bility, have made their way into the
halls of Congress, as if to stand on that
very spot, living exemplars of the effect
of radical legislation i'll dobauching the
people. Referring to the recently dis
covered fraud, charged upon Butler, a
bitter radical from Tennessee, who is o
cadet-peddlcr also. the New York Herald
contrasts the representatives in Congress
from the South nowadays with those of
q former era. It remarks:
.'Thero was a time when Southern
members, whatever may have been their
faults, however bombastic, quarrelsome
and sometimes ridiculous they may have
been on the foor-would shrink from
anything petty or contemplate. They
we're men of honor at least. But un-
happily, the element which represents
that region of the country now is OF
entirely different character. It would
seem as if the small vices imported there
from the North of late have been ex-
ported to Washington in the form OF
gigantic crimes. Taking into considera-
tion the entire corrupt course of the last
Congress and its utter worthlessness fol
all purposes of good to the country, we
are not much surprised to hear of iso-
lated cases of grave offence like this
discovered by the Pension Bureau
brought home to members. Indeed, we
expect to hear @ good deal more Of them
but we hope that few examples will be
made and condign punishment will be
inflicted upon the guilty, in order to
serve rs warning to those who may
stand upon the brink of infamy and
have not yet fallen into the gulf. if any
such Congressman there be who have
this day of grace reserved to them"

Judge Orr's Letter.

We need scarcely say that we utterly
repudiate the sentiments of this extra
ordinary communication. We regard it
insulting to tue more intellectual sense
of the class to whom it is addressed. At
present, we have no more to say upon
the snbjcct, except that Judge Orr will
find his counsels rejected, and his tactics
unheeded by the people whom he seeks
to influence.

A MurderOuS Sea Flower.

One of the exquisite wonders of the sea
is called the opelet, and is about as large
as the German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster with ever so many long petals
of light green, glossy as satin, and each
one tipped with rose color. These lovely
petals do not lie quietly in their places,
like those of the aster in your garden, but
wave about in the water, while the Opelet
generally clingS to rock. How innocent
and lovely it looks on its rocky bed. Who
would suspect that it would eat anything
grosser than dew or sunlight? But those
beautiful waving arms, as you call them,
have another use besides looking pretty.
They have to provide for large open
mouth which is hidden deep down among
them-so we'll hidden that one can scarce
ly find it. Well do they perform their
duty, for the instant foolish little fishlet
touches one of the rosy tips he is struck
with poison as fatal to him as lightning.
He Immediately becomes numb, and in a
moment stops struggling, and then the
other beautiful arms wrap themselves
around him and he is drawn into the huge,
greedy mouth and is seen no more. Then
the lovely arms unclose, and wave again
in the water, looking as innocent and
harmless as though they had never touched
a fish

A Disagreement among Doctors.

A paragraph from the Boston Journal
Of Chemistry has been going the rounds ol
the secular press, in which the writer op-
poses the practice of evaporating water
upon stoves and furnaces, ON the ground
that the air cannot be "dried up or burned
up" and that none of its natural moisture
is expelled from it by heat. Truly, "a
little learning is a dangerous thing" and
we have here just enough knowledge dis
played to cover q deal Of mischieyOus ig
nOrance.
In the first place, it may be news to the
chemical gentleman in question to learn
that there are certain physiological phe-
nomena connected with excessive or de-
fective humidity of the atmosphere; that
under the latter condition, owing to the
affinity of air for moisture, the respiratory
surfaces will be refrigerated and dried by
unusual evaporation from them; and that
whole surface of the body. Now, granting
that. in literal sense, none of the existing
moisture is expelled from air by raising
its temperature, an immense relative re-
duction of its humidity is thereby effect
ed Suppose, for instance, that the at
mosphere of room of two thousand cubic
feet contents have its hygrometric capaci-
ty for moisture satisfied on freezing
morning. We build good fire in stove
and warm this room to, say, 750 Fahren-
heit; aid in doing this we 50 reduce the
relatice amount of moisture, that at least
a pound of water is required to bring the
air to the same condition in which we
found it, And, what is more, the thirsty
air will have this water in some way, and,
if we do not supply it by evaporation,
from external sources, will, to use vul-
gar but appropriate slang phrase, take
it out of our hides" For our own part, We
prefer the former alternative.-Amertca tca,

the physician watched, as he thought,
to note the last vital spark take its
flight. His limbs became stiff and
cold; all pulsation seemed to cease,
and the breath appeared to have left the
body. Mr. Day was duly laid out and
dressed in the habiliments of the grave
his eyes closed by the aid of coins, and all
necessary preparation made for his burial.
Of all these arrangements he was quite
conscious, but had not the strength to
make it known. Before the time arrived
for his burial, his old physician, who had
attended him during the earlier stages of
his suffering, happening to have business
in the vicinity, and hearing of the decease
of Mr.. Day. called to see him, and while
looking with pity upon the cold form of
his former friend and patient, he imagined
that he could discover signs of respiration.
Upon closer examination he ascertained
that he was correct, and he at once set to
work to restore to life the supposed dead
man. He succeeded so well that Mr.. Day
passed through Omaha yesterday, appar
emily well and hearty, and able to tell his
own story. He says this occurred in Sill
yer City, Idaho Territory.-Omaha Re

How to Make MOlasseS Candy.

Now that these long winter nights shad-
dow more than half of the time, "candy
pulling" is in vogue. AS the candy is
usually made, it is a long tedions process,
recurring from one to three hours. These
long hours of waiting are longer by having
to endure the heat while stirring the
moasses. The waste of fuel is another
objection to the old method. BY follow
ing this recipe, all of this tediousncss and
vexation will be avoided:
For small number, say four persons,
these quantities will answer. For a
larger, increase propOrtionally.
One teacupful of molasses.
Half a .teacupful of any kind OF sugar
A teaspoonful of vinegar.
A piece of butter the size of half nut
meg.
Put the whole in a skillet, on a hot
fire, and boil exactly ten minutes, stirring
| it all the time, then set 1t to cool. Pull i
AS soon as il is hard enough.
| Boiling it twelve minutes will make i
hard enough. Eight minutes will not b'
enough Ten minutes by the clock is tn,
exact time.
Follow these directions, and well pay
| for all the candy that won't pull-provides
we are invited to test it.-Erchonge.

The Imagination.

DIR. FAYER, an English physician in
India, communicates To the IadL0n Hedi-
cdt Gazette an extraordinary case of the
effect of imagination on the physical sys-
tenn. He says:
Some time ago, on visiting the hos
pital one morning, | was told that man
had been admitted during the night suf-
fering from snake bite, and that he was
very low. l found him in a state of great
prostratiOn, he was hardly able to speak,
and seemed to be in state of great de
preston. He and his friends said that
during the night, In going into his hut, a
snake bit him in the foot; that he was
much alarmed, and rapidly passed into q
state of insensibility when they brought
him to the hospital They and he con
sidered he was dying, and evidently re
garded his condition as hopeless. On he
ing asked for a description of the snake
they replied they had caught it anC
brought it with them in bottle. TIL,
bottle was produced, and the snake turne,
out to be small, innocent lycedon. l
was alive, though somewhat injured b,
| the treatment il had received. On ex
planning to the man and his friends tina
| it was harmless, and with some dificult
making them believe il, the symptoms @
poisoning rapidly disappeared, and he LEI
the hospital as well as ever he was in hi
life in a few hours.
