not only effects. the physical health, but the
dispositions and tempers of its victims. The
dyspeptic becomes. too, in q measure demo-
ralized by his sufferings. He is subject to fits
OF irritation, suHenness, or despair, as the
case may be. A preternatural sensitiveness
which he cannot control, leads him to miscon-
strue the words and acts Of those around him.
and HIS intercoprse even with those nearest
ana dearest to him is not unfrequently M arked
by exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real
the disease, for which the invalid cannot be- be-
justly held responsible, but they occasion
much household discomfort. It is to the into

virtues IS the purest and best that can be ex.

BUREAU OF EDUcATIoN.-The appro-
priation for the bureau of education has
been dropped out of the appropriations
committee, in making up the bill to pay
the department salaries, thus in fact, abol-
ishing the bureau if the bill passes in its
present shape. But bill has been in
troduced in the Senate to extend the
scope of the bureau, to unite with it the
educational part of the freedmen's bureau,
and otherwise increase its means and use
fulness. This bill was introduced by
Senstor Patterson of New Hampshire,
and if it passes it is said that Gen. Grant
has promised to appoint new man to
succeed Commissioner Barnard, toward
whose continuance there is much opposi-
ton, for some reason or other,-some of it
reasonable, perhaps, but a17good deal that
is unreasonable.

Shadows.

Oh, sadly fall on hill and lea
The shadows of the weary day;
And, waited from the wailing sea.
A low, long murmur seems to say,
To say:
"Shine on thou golden sun;
Thine hour will soon be done
All! well day.
Cold drives the rain upon the world,
And homeless is the north wines cry;
And, mid the darkness, thickly curled,
Sad tunes of sorrow seem to sigh,
To sigh:
"Bloom on, thou shining rose;
Thy short lifs soon will close,
For thou must die ~
Oh, sadly fall on loving hearts
The shadows of life's weary way,
And, needless of the tear that starts,
\ mournful message seems to say,
To say:
''Thee and thy love the tomb
Soon, soon will fold in gloom;
All well q day"

and cathedral Of st. From Bar, are among
its more prominent public buildings.
The river after passing the city, widens
out into splendid bay of tho sea, con-
tanning the Great Island, on which is what
used to be called the cove of Cork, now
changed to Queenstown, in honor of Vic

The Palmyra, with steam up, is just
across the bay, and taking our luggage in

safely upon her deck.

THE WILSON MANDAMUs CAsE.-In
giving the opinion of the Supreme Court
on DIR. Hathaway's petition for a naanda-
mus to compel Judge Wilson to amend
his bill of exceptions in the case of Hatha-
way as CLARK, Judge Steele did not say, as
reported in the Free Press, that the court
found the facts correctly stated in the
bill, nor, ON the other hand, did he say as
reported in the transcript, that they were
not correctly stated. He didn't say auy-
thing about the facts, for the ground on
which the decision was based, wholly pre-
cluded the Supreme Court from their in
vestigation. They held that the Presid-
ing Judge in the county court is the only
person who can certify bill of exceptions
and that his final decision as to their
statements, is the send of the law" as the
lawyers say-or more strictly, the deter
mination of the fact. In this case Judge
Wilson had not been asked to amend his
bill before the petition was brought, and
we understand the court to hold that
even could nlandamus issue in snch a
case at all, it certainly could not until
after Demands. Adams Messenger.

RENTs.-The tenants of William B.
Astor's a1istocratic residences on Murray
hin, New York, have been thrown into
a state of considerable indignation by no
tees recently received from his agent,
that their rents will be raised five per
cent. above those of the present year.
They say that they are already paying
three times as much as they paid five
years ago for the same houses; and while
the amount of the threatened increase is
of no consequence in itself, they regard
it as an indication of grasping DISPOSE
ton on Mr.. Astor's part, which ought to
be resisted Considering the small num-
Der of customers for these expensive man
sions, which vary in price from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, and the reduction of 1t late
ly caused by failures in business, it would
seem to be rather bad policy for Mr.. As
tor to provoke rebellion among them.

Ripley Sons Safe Blown Open.

About two o'clock Sunday morning the
inhabitants of Center Rutland were awak.
ened by loud explosion, the cause Of
which was not OWNED until about church
time, when it was discovered that the
Office of Ripley Sons had been entered,
their safe blown open, and the greater
portion of its contents, some S25 in availa-
BILE funds, distracted. Entrance was eff.
fected through one of the Office windows,
when the burglars proceeded to darken
the windows, in order to prevent observa-
ton from without, by dark colored cloths,
which, with a new hammer and chisel,
they left behind them in their flight from
the premises. The windows darkened
they commenced operations on the safe,
A hole. by what means is not known,
was punched in the upper section of the
door, just above the lock. Powder was
here inserted, ignited and the door blown
to atoms, the conclusion being so great
as to damage the furniture of the Office
much and break several panes of glass in
the windows. This done the contents of the
safe were at their mercy and they helped
themselves as stated above, to some $25.
Several dollars in fractional currency
was left scattered about the floor, with
the papers, books and other contents
of the safe. 1t is supposed the burglars
were not professionals, and hence inserted
more powder than was necessary to ac-
complish their object in the aperature of
the door, and the explosion following be-
ing greater than they had contemplated,
it frightened them, and they left in too
great hurry to complete their ransack-
ing of the safes contents. The safe was
an old one, of Tilton 81 McF arland's make,
plaster lined and fire, though not supposed
to be burglar-proof. An outlay of few
dollars willimake it as good as ever. There
is no clue to the burglars.
A safe in an adjoining room was left
undisturbed.
