It bothers Governor Hendricks, of In
diana, that the administration, in paying
off the national debt. did not steal the
pre- MUM on gold. He admits that the
debt has been reduced $3.50, 600, 0OO, but
he says that if this gold had been sold it
would have paid SIT, 600, 900 more, and
thus the reduction would have been $lG3,-
600, 900. That is a good Democratic az
gument. but it will not suit Repub-
licans. Promises are slowly made but
surely kept by the Republican party; but
the Democrats promise with readiness,
but fulfill by renewing their paper. It
would have been desirable to save $16,-
600, 600, but az it could not be done hon
estly, dear Governor, the government
concluded to forego the pleasure. Per-
haps Hendricks, if he improves in this
kind of politics, will say by-and-bye that
the administration could save the State
some money if it robbed q safe and applied
the proceeds to paying the debt. Who

I From the Centre Point (Iowa) News

/ From the Centre Point (Iowa) News.)
Early last Saturday morning the ru-
NOR was ON our streets that Mr.. John
Ferguson, of Benton county. well
known advocate Of the doctriue known
as Adventisrn, would deliver a sermon
in support of his views in support of his
views in Manahan's saloon at the hour
of eleven O'Clock of that day Out of
curiosity. and a natural desire torthe
termination of so novel an affair." about
fifty persons assembled at the place des-
iguated and anxiously awaited the arri-
val Of the preacher. And, sure enough,
at the aforementioned he made his ap-
pearance. and announced that he was
ready to proceed with the services. lie
first stepped up. to the bar and ordered
beer for all the house, then proceeded to
to commence his sermon He opened
his Bible, laid it on one OF the billiard
tables and announced his text and then
for the space of about one hour, he ao-
dressed the attentive audience, setting
forth in glowing terms the doctrine
which he professed. At the close, he
again gave utterance to a short prayer,
and then requested the audience to rise
while he delivered the -bened ction, after
which he announced that he would de-
liver another sermon at the same place
and hour next Sunday. He then again
requested all present to come forward
and have something to drink. at his ex-
pense, and a cons derable number
obsyed the summons with alacrity.

John Esaiadotph's Advice.

When John Randolph was in London
he wrote to a gentleman who married his
favorite niece. It was the following ad
vice:
Have no dealings that can possibly BE-
avoided with your neigbbors The dis.
regard of this caution will certainly lead
to sqnabbles ana strife.
Take no receipts on loose pieces of
paper. Garry receipt book in your
pocket. and take all receipts in it; if you
are afraid of losing it keep it in your
desk. Always have the receipts witness
ed when practicable.
Copy Or have copied all bills in your
book, so that yor must at a glance see
the cost of any article or branch of ex-
pense. Without accurate accounts you
must fall behind hand.
What voyage would ship make with
out observation or reckoning? You are
now embarked on voyage OF life; with.
out a good lookout you may be cast
away.
Form no intimacies with your neigh
bors under seven years acquaintance.
The rigid observations of my own max.
inns preserved me from strife and from
loss by those. With the rest was on
the best Of terms.
Ecopomy-'he adapting of your sup
plies judiciously to the intended end
that is the gift of God. 1t cannot b.
taught, at least, l have tried all my lie,
without success. My mother had it to
perfection. ".
Frugality-it is in the power Of eve
ry honest man, who means to retain his
honesty, to refrain from tdu}ging in ex-
penSes which he cannot afford. A disre-
gard to this maxim, the result of the ig-
norant indoIence Of their own affairs, has
ruined all my name and race. They did
not know what they could afford, and
some, fear. did not care.

Moderate and Steady Drinkers

A merchant prince of New York
a portly six-footer of great manly beau.
ty, who never dined without his brandy
and water, nor went to bed without a
terrapin or oyster supper, and who new
er was known to be drunk, died of chron-
lc diarrhea, common end of those who
are never intoxicated and never ont of
liquor. Halls Journal of Health gives
this account of his DEATH:
Months before he died. he was a
year in dying-he could eat nothing
without distress, and at his death the
whole alimentary canal was Il mass of
disease in the midst of his millions he
died of inanition. That is not the half,
reader. He had been steady drinker,
daily drlnker for twentyeigbt years.
Scrofula had been eating up one danght-
er for fifteen years, another in the mad
house the the third and fourth were of
unearthly beauty, but they blighted.
paled aud taded-into heaven we trust
In their sweet teens another is to,er-
ing on the verge OF. the grave, and only
one is left with all the senses, and each
OF them is as weak as water.
The same periodical instances anotI
er case that should supplement the one
just given:
A gentleman of 35 was sitting in
chair with no specially critical symptoms
present; still, he was known to be a
dissipated young man. He rose, ran
fifty feet, fell down and died. The
whole covering of the brain was thick
ened, its cavities We're filled with fluid
that did lot belong to it-enough to
kill half a dozen with apoplevy-a great
er portion Of one lung was in a state Of
gangrene. and nearly all the other was
hardened and useless, blood and yellow
matter plastered the inner covering of
the lungs. while angry patches of de>-
tructive inflammation were scattered along
the whole alimentary canal. Why,
there was enough Of death in that one
mans body to have killed forty. The
doctor whe talks about guzzling liquor
every day being "healthy" is perfect
disgrace to the medical name, and |
ought to be turned out to break stones
or the term of his natural life at shil-
ing a day, and find himself.

The Party of the Future.

The dissentions in Republican ranks
indicated by the position of Messrs
Dawes and Wells on the one side, But.
ler and Boutwell, upon the other, clear.
ly portend the coming of the storm which
is to dissever old party lines, and will
quickly lead to the formation of new po-
litical combinations Since the slavery
question has been removed from the po-
litical arena, the Republican party has
lived upon its war record and promise
of an economical administration of the
National Government. Its opponent the
Democratic party has, fortunately for
the Republicans, been utterly destitute
of any great. living principle, and has
sought to maintain itself upon its preiu-
dices alone. Had the Democracy the
foresight to have grasped the financial
question and managed it honorably and
patriotically. there is but little doubt
but that it would be much stronger than
it now is.
The Republicans cannot always main
tain themselves upon their immaculate
loyalty any more than the Democracy
can by hugging close to their bosoms
their preiudices, based upon political
dogmas that have been worn thread bare
for mary years.-It is in vain to prolong
the discussion as to reconstruction; in vain
to gerry-mander to keep up party lines;
in vain to tell Republicans what to do in
order to retain power. The tariff, taxation,
the currency, the public debt are to be
dealt with. These are the issues to be met
before the country and he successful par
