the House. The election of the regular Repub-
lican candidates for Speaker and Clerk, although
more than probable, is not entirely certain. The
Missouri election and the dismissal of Secretary
Cox have made a positive organized and ag-
gressive element within the Republican party
that is bitterly hostile to the President, and to-
night the Democrats are boasting that they will
give the control of Congress to the revenue
reformers, and then organize the House against
the regular Republicans. Do not regard this
intimation as groundless. In the present con-
dition of cross-purposes between the Republi-
can leaders, the defeat of the party in the next
House is altogether possible and if the suicidal
policy of ostracizing men like Schurz, Trumbull,
Fenton, Ferry, Sumner and others is continued,
and st. Domingo jobs are made tests of devo-
ton to the party, the defeat of Speaker Blaine
and Clerk Mcpherson will be inevitable, and
the anti-administratio men will organize the
House.

ARTIFICIAL PAVING STONES. In many To-
calities where blast furnace is in the neigh
borhood, the slags are used on the roads, and
make very good and solid bed; the crushing
power OF the wheels grinds and smoothes the
surface, while the different particles, by ex-
posure to the weather and the action of the
loads drawn over the road, cohere together
and form solid mass, as is the case with the
McAdam pavement. 1t was some time ago
suggested that this furnace Stag would make
an excellent pavement if cast in blocks of the
size of those employed in our so-called Bel
eian pavement, as it is harder than the basalt
used for the latter, and nearly as hard as por-
phyry We are glad to notice that a similar
idea has been practically carried out by
Messrs. Sepulchre and Obresser, of Belgium.
They cast the Stag in blocks, and have paved
with them several streets in Brussels, with a
very steep incline, and also some streets in
Paris. This roadwayis said to give satisfac-
tion, as 1t stands far heavier traffic than the
best and moSt celebrated paving stones, and
by experiment resisted a crushing weight of
considerably more than 5000 pounds per
square inch. The expense of casting these

TIE CROQUET CITRATE.

The sermon is the one thing that embitters
this festive young life. Gay, volatile, chatty,
be tears himself away from that charming
lawn party at the hall to find his nadugaiS quar-
dHeare. He knows nothing he never thinks,
and even the most commonplace of dis
courses asks for faint pretence of knowl-
edge, faint effort of thought. There is the
impossibility of beginning his sermon.
There is the remeter impossibility of ending
it. The pen quivers in his idle fingers at the
thought Of the loud snore from the squires
corner, the rectors sneer, the quiet mockery
of the girls who worship him in the croquet
a9ound. But the fingers are still idle. He
PAGES the room, he looks out of the window, he
screws himself down again to his table, but
nothing comes. There is nothing for it but to
cram, and to do him Justice, he Grams in a
large and unsectarian spirit. He ranges his
authorities before him with disdain for the
illogical bias, A bit out of Keble jostles bit
out of Spurgeon, page of Robertson follows
a metaphor from Melville. The theology of
the croquet curate is, as his rector kindly
explains, mosaic" but the mosaic is put to-
gether with an innocent artlessness. There is
none of the graceful SELF consciousness with
which the extemporaneous prophet of the
seaside weaves together his oento of quota
tions. Haydn wrote sonatas in court dress
and ruffies, and the apostle of the "genteels
dressing gowns. Before him is his common
place book, around are host of little vol
umes, in which he dips as a bee dips in
flowers. The sentiment of George Sand, the
sublimity of Jean Paul, the pathos of Little
Nell, are all laid under contribution. Theologi-
cal distinctions are unknown to Mr.. Honeyman
as to the croquet curate, but he is too much
a man of the world to borrow from familiar
quarters. Old treatises of German mystics
picked up on bookstalls along the Rhine,
dusty Puritan diatribes, golden extracts
from forgotten fathers, lie side by side with
the last discourse of Pere Felix or the newest
pamphlet of Conali To weave these discor-
3sht materials into the bright, indistinct, but
never tedious sermon of the Sunday, is the
least task of the fashionable Sunday preacher.
His mirror is before him, but the greater
artists of his class need even more than a
mirror. One of the most popular of London
preachers is said to have furnished his library
with q model pulpit, and to have studied the
wave of his jsweled hand, the pathetic droop,
the winning gesture of irresistible appeal, in
the wood itself

A Love SToRY.-The Count de St. Croix,
belonging to one of the noblest and wealth.
est families of France, became engaged
after long courtship, to lady his equal in
position and fortune, and famous for her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day was ap-
pointed which was to render two loving hearts
one, the Count was ordered Immediately to
the siege of Sebastopol; so he girded on his
regimentals and marched to the battlefield
During the Counts absence it happened that
his beautiful afianced had the smallpox; and
lowering between life and death, she recov-
cred, but found her beauty hopelessly lost
The disease had assumed in her case the
most virulent character, and left her not
only dsfgured, but scanned and SCARED to
such an extent that she became hdeous to
herself, and resolved to pass the remainder of
her days in the strictest seclusion
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, Immediately ON his return to France,
accompanied by his valet, presented himself
at the residence of his betrothed, and soil
cited an interview, which was denied. He,
however, with the persistence of lover,
pressed his suit, and finally the lady made
her appearance, very closely mutied ia veil.
At the sound of her voice the Count rushed
forward to embrace her, but, stepping aside,
she tremblingly told him the story of her
sorrow, and burst into tears. heavenly
smile broke over the Counts handsome fea.
tuIes as, raising his hand above, he ex-
claimed:-''It is Gods work am blind ~
1t was even so. When gallantly leading his
regiment to the attack cannon ball passed
so closely to his eyes that, while it left their
expression unchanged and his countenance
unmarked, robbed him forever of sight.
1t is unnecessary to add that their marriage
was soon solemnized.
