WHAT anxiety the Radical party
has to show that it is the true de-

stolid to know or to think he gives
himself up an obedient slave ready
and willing to obey. That is, lie
is not so much the slave as he is
too stupid to act or think. Now
the case in point is this. It was
no sooner announced by telegraph
that Napoleon had become a pris-
oner of war, and was in the hands
of the enemy, King William, and
that a few malcontents in Paris
who had crippled their ruler in
every way, had set up the shadow
of the forms ora Republic. Presi.
dent Grant instructs his Secretary
Of State to acknowledge the Re
public, and extend the congratula-
tons Of the "best government the
sun ever shone upon" This is
all very nice and shows an
extraordinary patriotic love OF
the principles upon which
it is presumed this "land 'oi
the free and the home of the
brave" is founded. All good Re-
publicans Of course are eXultant
at this action. They are delighted
beyond measure, and cry with q
loud voice, "See the action of oul
party" "We love and adore the
name Of Republicanism, and the
very moment q nation sets W

SALT - ITs EFFECT on THE

physician and surgeon, saw a
butcher killing a pig. He observ-
ed that he stirred the blood of the
animal, and added q handful of
common salt to it while stirring,
which Immediately made it Grim
son. and on stirring being discon-
tinued, the blood remained fluid.
The change Of the color of the
blood awakened his curiosity. The
butcher could give no explanation
of the phenomenon except that 1t
kept it from jellying and spelling.
DR.. Stevens seized a vessel, caught
some blood, and made several ex.
periments by putting salt in it, and
found that the blacklist blood was
instantly changed to a bright YER
million by salt. "Oh,' said he,
here is a fact which may lead to a
practical rule"
He had observed in cases Of
yellow fever in the army, that the
blood drawn was very black and
on adding salt it became vermil.

have visited Washington and noted its
curious characters must have seen Mr.
Segar, as he has aired himself on pleasant
afternoons in front of some of the low
gambling houses in which he spends bis

not likely to forget him-that dingy-
looking person, with yellowish hair, God
forsaken features, and gold spectacles,
always accompanied by gold>headed
cane. He has made his living off the
green baize for many years-playing a
small game only, for want of funds to
indulge in the larger ventures. He was
fast losing his status even as third-ratc
gambler, and acquiring fame only as a
free-luncher, when Grant came to his
rescue, and under the magic of his inAu-
ence elected him to congress from the
good old state of Virginia. He is the pet

A Cleveland boy, ten years of age,

A Cleveland boy, ten years Of age,
swallowed bean. which passed down his
windpipe into the opening which leads to
the lungs, and finally stopped there. He
appeared to be dead. A deadly pallor
over-spread his countenanee, the eyes
were CLASSY and without expression, the
muscles all relaxed, and the respiration
entirely suspended. Shortly after the
surgeon arrived breathing ceased entirely
for minute and half. The bean was
then extracted. A longitudinal incision
having been made in the neck, just below
the Adams apple, an instrument was
inserted, and the bean drawn up and
pulled out by forceps, the boy still pre-
senting the appearance ofa lifeless corpse.
After the bean had been extracted tho
incision was held open by two hooks, and
by pressing on the chest the air in it was
driven out. The bleod at the opening was
spanged off, and by relieving the pressure
on the breast and pressing on the sides
beneath tho arms, air was drawn in
through the aperture made by the incision.
A mechanical passage of air was thus
established. and by continued efforts the
child began to breathe and was saved.

So we heard a great strapping young
man exclaim the other day; we concluded
that he wanted pratical advice, and we
shall give it to him.
You want capital, do you? And sup>
pose you had capital what would you do
with til? Haven't you hands, feet, mus
Gle, bone, brains, health, and don't you
call them capital? What moro capital
did God give to anybody?
"Oh but they are not money!" say
you. But they are more than money,
and nobody can take them from you.
Don't you know how to use them? if you
don't it's time you were learning. Take
hold of the plow, or hoe, or jack'plane.
or Lroadaxe, and go to work. Your
capital will then, in due time, yield you a
large interest. Ay, but there's the rub !;
you don't want to work, you want money
or credit, SO you can play gentleman and
speculate, and end by playing yagabond.
Or you want farm, with plenty Of
hanGs upon it to do the work, while you
run over the coutry and dissipate; or you
want to marry some rich girl who may be
foolish enough to take you for your good
looks, that she may support you.
Shame on you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and yeu'll
soon make interest enough upon it to give
you as much money as you need, and
make you feel like q man. If you can
not make money on what capital you have,
you could not if you had large amount
in cash. If yeu do nat know how to use
hone, muscle and brains, you would not
know how to use gold; you would only
know how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, great
helpless boy, waiting for something to
turn up, but 60 to work. Take the first
work you can find, no matter what it is,
SO that you do it well; always do your
best; if you manage that capital you will
soon have plenty more to manage; but if
you cannot, or will not manage the capi-
tai God has given you, you will never
have any other to manage. Do you hear.

JOHN WESLEY AND His WIFE.-When
Wesley settled he said, "It would be more
useful to marry There is nothing like
giving that sort of pretty facing to your
wishes. l have known friend, when he
was going to move from q little living to a
large one, say that it was because he was
going to "a larger sphere Of usefulness
A certain witty man used to say that when
ever clergyman went from little living
to large one, he did so because he had
got call, hut that he would want "good
loud hollo to take him from large to
little living" Wesley married widow,
who, through her jealousy, led him life
of wretchedness and misery. At last his
spirit was up, and he wrote her: "Know
me and yourself. Suspect me no more /:
provoke me no more do not longer con-
tend for mastery, fer power, money or
praise be content to be a private insight
ficant person known and loved by God and
me-" 1t was not likely that woman
would be pleased at being recommended
to be an insignificant person. After
twenty years of disquietude she one day
left him. He bore it philosophically. He
went even beyond it-he took his diary
and put the most pithy entry into it I ever
met with in diary; Non cam religui, non
damisi non rerocsbo, which may be trans,
lated thus: ~ did not leave her; I did
not send her away shan't send for her
back" And so ended the married life OF
John Wesley.

VOLUME XIV---NO. Is.

Of Education are completely demoralized.
Cases are known of exchanges Of books
being made in some cities as often as once
year. We shall not refer to the dama'
ging effect of such changes upon the
progress of education. Pupils are little
more than made acquainted with the ru-
diments of a study as presented in text
book, and prepared to follow out the
| method of the other, when, 10 another
book is put into their hands, and they
are compelled to discard the old and take up
| new system. But a few changes of this
kind is required to mudde the clearest in
| te!ligence.
1t is because Of its effect upon the trade
| that we desiie to protest against this sys-
TEN Of bribery, and the damaging reduc~
ton of prices all over the country In
the first place, it causes direct loss to
publishers; and, secondly, it ruins the
business in school-books of the local
booksellers.
1t is estimated that the loss caused to
publishers by this unscrupulous and corr
rupt competition annually amounts to ov-
er five hundred thousand dollars. Moths
is really gained by this wasteful expendi-
ture, as the same books would be sold in
about the same proportion if it was en-
tirely discontinued. What is gained in
one place by unfair means is lost in an
other by the same means. Whether pub
fishers confne themselves to flair methods
or foul, as the same agencies are open to
all, the effects will in general be about
equal. If this vast sum were saved to
be employed in legitimate channels, bet
ter prices could be paid to authors and
better works obtained, more could be spent
upon the mechanical execution of books,
they could be offered lower, and, lastly.
publishers would realize more money and
their business would rest upon a Sc
curer basis.
But the greatest injury is done to the
local booksellers who sell the larger por-
tion of the books. By publishers offering
their books through periodical travelling
agents at one'half the retail prices, the
trade of the booksellers is not only taken
out of their hands at particular times, but
their customers are dissatisfied 10 pay the
regular retail prices at any time. This
has become such source of dissatisfac-
ton that we almost wonder at retail book
sellers undertaking to supply SCHOOL, books
at all. They might compel publishers to
deal directly in all cases with the schools,
and we doubt if the ruinous prices would,
if this were done, be long continued.
We advise some honorable combination
among the leading houses to put an end
to this great and growing evil, which is
subversive not only of educational prog
ress but of commercial integrity. Such
combination is possible, and such penal
ties might be assessed against offenders,
by mutual consent, as would redeem the
business from its present repulsive asp ect.

a resident of Washington since the COM

during that time he has made himself
