The Battle of Blenheim.

Southey's famous Battle of Blen
helm" has doubtle IS occurred to many
persons within the past week, who
will be glad to see it repeated. The
future Kaspar, however, will be able
to tell what the great war OF 1870 was
about, when he recalls the vested
country by many thousand bodies
that lay rotting in the sun after the
great victory. This little Peterkin
will learn that it was because Prus
sian King spoke disrespectfully OF
q French ambassador,
1t was summer evening
Old Kasper's work was done, . - -
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun:
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her hrother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
Which he had by the rivulet
In playing there had found
He came to ask what he had found
That was so large, and smooth, and round
Old Kaspar took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by; .......
And then the old man shook his head,
And with a natural sigh
''Tis some poor fellows SKULL" said he,
"Who fell in that great victory.
Il find them in the garden,
For there's many here about:
And often when 1 go to pillow, ......
The Ol0Ushare firms fhem ont
For many thousand men," said he,
Were slain in the great victory"
ll"Now tell ms what twas all about"
f Young Peterkin he crie-
And little Wilhelminc looks up f.
With h'wonder-waiting eyes
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each others for"
1T was the English. Kasper cried,
WHO put the French to rout:
But what they fought each other for,
could not we'll make out;
But every body said,' quoth he,
That twas famous victory.
"My father lived at Blcnheim then,
Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling TO the ground.
And he was forced to fy;
So with his wife and child he fed,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide;
And many childing mother there,
And newborn baby died;
But things like that, yon know must be
AT every famous victory.
''They say it was a shocking sight.
After the field was won
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that. you know, must be
After famous vitory.
Great praise the Dlke of Marlboro won
And our good Prince Engine"
why twas very very wicked hing"
Said little Wi.helmine.
"Nay-nay-my little girl" quoth he,
1t was famous victory. .i
"And every body praised the Duke,
Who that great fight did win"
"But what goot came of it at last ?"
Quoth little Peterkin.
''Why, that can not tell said he,
"But twas famous victory"

BLIND BEGGARs-sTRANG1s CASES.
There are very many blind mendicants
in our city who are really suffering for the
necessaries of life; but here, again, there is
such u host of imposters who have adopted
the "blind dodge" that it is probable that
the bona fide cases will remain i'm their UNI
fortunate positions until called away from
this world. So adroitly have they learned
to practice their deceit that ii requires an
experienced eye to distinguish the genuine
from the fraudulent. They wander around
day after day either with small boy or an
old woman leading them, and enter the
numerous liquor saloons and grocery-stores
on their route. On an average these char
acters receive from the charitable during a
days tramp, which commences as soon as
the doors are opened in the early morning,
from 81 to So. The blind sufferer pays his
assistant or stall, I" that pilots him around,
from So to SIS a week, or divides tie profits
at their clearinghouse after the toil of the
day Is over. There are three or four of
these imposters who, through years of de-
ceit and apparent poverty, have succeeded
in accommodating valuable property in the
lower portion of the city,
HOW SOME BECOME BLIND.
Many OF the creatures who ply their trade
in the parks, at the ferries or in the streets,

dipping camels hair brush in the fluid,
and gently passing it under the eye-lids and
across the pupil, 1t gradually renders the
pupil duh whitish or blood red color, ac-
cording to the taste of the would-be blind
man, and contracts the lids SO that the in
dividual has every appearance of being as

rendered little dim. If it is necessary &c

600. Was the tax the same? No, sir; the
tax was reduced three fourtbs. General
Grants administration was to collect about
sixty-five cents ON the gallon, and from
that they have collected $24 100000, as
against Sl3, 100000 in the corresponding six
months of Mr.. Johnson's administration
when the tax was two dollars gallon!
Now, how does that come about? BY
the fact that the whisky revenue service
was reeking with corruption under the adj
ministration of Andrew Johnson, and that
the thieves were driven out of power and
place and the revenue service purified by
the new Administration, and the tax hon
estly collected. I might go further, but
will only say that from the same sources of
revenue in six months alone the total in
crease is SO, 100000 over the amount coll
lected during the corresponding six months
of the last Administration.
Mr.. Chairman, il Is Just 70 say that the
new law was better and the rate more iu-
dicious; but the great fact remains that
there has been more vigorous and honest
administration of the law. desire to say
further that the new Administration gave
new life to the credit and faith of the Amer
lean people. From losing credit, from get
ting behind in our debt, the scale has been
turned, and we point with pride to q de-
crease of 100000 600 in the public debt
within the past year.
More than that, sir, the credit of this
Government has been steadily appreciate
ing. One class of our bonds is now worth
more than gold. The premium on gold
has been falling. The value of our securi.
ties everywhere is appreciating. And why.
1t is because precisely such doctrines as oul
friends on the other side hold in regard to
the public debt have been put down by the
people of the United States, and the public
faith is upheld by the party in power.

Why Not I!

The time has passed when "anything
was good enough for a country paper"
and many of our exchanges from inland
towns compare favorable with those issued
in the large cities. Quite a number, how
ever, are gotten up without regard to style,
depending wholly on the matter in their
columns. The impression that the great
public cares but little for the ap)1edrdRce
of a newspaper is by far too prevalent.
Other things being equal, the best looking
paper will have the largest circulation, and
be sought most by advertisers. 1t is true
that but few may be able to point out the
details which make one paper look better
than another, bur each reader will feel eX-
cellence in style as surely as he will appre-
ciate talent in the editorials. He may not
know that this type or that type is best
adapted to the purpose for which 1T is used (;
but he is impressed with the fitness of the
whole
1t seems strange that there should be so
many newspapers printed in inartistic
style, especially as the cost for Indifferent
or unsuitable material is as great as for
that necessary to make a handsome paper.
The only additional expense to be incurred
is that which is requisite to maintain a
proper arrangement of the matter; and
this expense is not lost, since the work is
done more rapidly when 1t has been settled
hoD each division of the paper shall be ar
ranged and what type shall be used in
each
We ask then, why not use the best news
paper type that is made? Why not adopt
and enforce fixed style for the arrange
ment of the matter? In short, why not
print handsome newspaper THE Proof

Smoking.

Dr. COPELAND says: "The habit of smok-
ing tobacco has given rise to the following
i'll effects, which have come under my OBJ
servation in numerous instances, and that
of all the medical men with whom / am
acquainted.
II. Smoking weakens the digestive and
assimilating functions, impairs the due
elaboration of the chyle and of the blood,
and prevents healthy nutrition of the
several structures of the body. Hence re-
suit, especially in young persons, an arrest
of the growth of the body; low stature;
a pallid and sallow hue of the surface; an
insufficient and unhealthy supply of food,
and weak bodily powers. In persons more
advanced in life, these effects, although
longer in making their appearance, super
vene at last, and with CELEBRITY in proper
ton to the extent to which this vile habit
il carried.
go. Smoking generates thirst and vital
depression; and to remove these, the use
of stimulating liquors is resorted to, and
often carried to a most injurious extent.
Thus two of the most debasing habits and
vices to which human nature can be de-
graded are INDUCED in to the injury of the
individual thus addicted, to the shortening
of his life, and to the injury and ruin of
his offspring.
80. Smoking tobacco weakens the nerv-
Gus powers favors dreamy, imaginative,
and imbecile state of existence; produces
incidence and incapability OF many or con-
| tinued exertion and sinks its votary into
a state of careless or maudlin activity and
selfish enjoyment of his vice. He ulti.
mately becomes partially, but generally
paralyzed in mind and body-he. is subject
to tremors and numerous nervous ailments,
and has recourse to stimulants for their re-
lief. These his vices cannot abate, howev-
er INDUCED in, and he ultimately dies q
dwelling idiot, an imbecile paralytic, or q
sufferer from internal organic disease, al
an age many years short of the average
duration of life. These results are not
always prevented by relinquishing the
habit, after long continuance or a very
early adoption of it. These injurious eff
feets often do not appear until very late il
| lifep
