RATHER DusKY.-The town of Pitts
burg, Pa, is noted far and wide for its
smoky and dingy appearance. The editor
of the Louisville Ny.) Sun gives the fol-
lowing unique description as how it looks
and how to look at it:
Pittsburg people never have fresh air,
except when out of town. They live on
coal smoke and floating cinders. We in
hailed seven tons of coal the first day we
were there. The people breathe smoke,
eat smoke, chew smoke and cary it loose
in their pockets. 1t is now seventy-two
years since Plttsburg has been warmed or
reached by the suns rays. Once streak
of sunshine, for several years eondensing,
undertook to penetrate the cloud of smoke
over the city, got lost, became smoked,
and fell like a stunning edition of the
sBlack Crook"
The ladies use smoke and coal dust to
protect their compilations. Little boys
and. girls stand on the corners with wet
brooms and sponges to wash peoples faces
in Pittsburg. AT the postotfice window
the clerk distinguishes the people by GER
tain signs, it being impossible to see their
faces for the layers of coal dust and smoke.
We saw little boy crying on the street
because he had lost his father, who was
six feet ahead of him in the blackness.
Every one wears mourning in Plttsburg.
A barber once went there to color hair
and whiskers. He more'n- busted in
week Men kiss each others wives in
Pittsburg, unable to tell which is their
own only by the taste. Women send
children on errands, first writing on their.
faces with thumb nail or wet sticks
People feel their way by door knobs, and
read by raised type. A man once stood
in his room with the window raised,
changed his shirt nine times in four min
utes, and only got clean one on him
when the window fell by accident and
kept the smoke out. Meet man with q
cold who had been blowing his nose, and
that organ looks like burned stump on
each side of which a woodchuck had been
burrowing.
Bedclothes are unknown in Pittsburg.
Leave the window open and sheets of
smoke settle upon you like newspapers
from amachine press. Some years since
some snow fell into the city through the
cloud of smoke-the smoke was not hurt,
but the snow looked sick ! Men carry Ian
terms to see to shake hands. When look
ing at watch to see the hour, it is the
fashion to light a match. They make
broadcloth by hanging spiders web out
till filled with smoke, and use hot coal dust
for pepper. They roll the smoke, sweet
ened, into sticks and sell it for liquorice.

WHY THE DISABILITIES OF SOUTHERN
MEN ARE NOT REMovED.-People must
not misunderstood the motives of Con-
gress in refusing to grant general am
nesty, and preterrng to pass Bills evcry
now and tlren giving pardons to specially
named individuals. This course is pur-
sued for purpose baser and more vile
than mere politics. Not alone that they
are thus enabled to drum up recruits for
the Republican party in the South by
excluding all who lean to the Democratic
party from the privilege of amnesty.
Tho chief object is to keep open the door
for corruption and bribery. A general
amnesty would yield no money (; individ
ual amnesties can be, and often are, made
q source of revenue to the mon who deal
them out. l cannot cay positively that
any mcmbor of Congress has been paid
directly for securing the insertion of a
name in an amnesty Bill, but can say
that persons have paid as high as one
hundred dollars for that privilege. The
money is paid to the influential friends OF
Radical members of the Reconstruction
Committee, and l take it that this state
of affairs is not entirely unknown to
those members. Men come here from the
South to get thoir disabilities removed.
They want to be eligible for Office of
some kind. They arc very soon directed
to some one who can have their names
inserted in the next bill, and for this in.
sertion they are willing to pay literally.
Their money is taken-nor do believe
it all goes into the pockets of the mon
who first receive it. These arc facts OF
which every membor of Congress is
aware. Time was whom the mere suspi'
cion of this truth would have called for a
searching investigation. But corruption
stalks so shamelessly abroad, and so per-
meates every department of the Govern
ment now-from the Executive who sells
his Cabinet positions to the highest bid
der, to tho bureau chiefs, who extort
doll ar donations from the starving clerks
under them-thatit is dangerous to start
an enquiry, because it is impossible to to
tell where it will stop or to what it will
lead. One of these days the people will
wake up to the fact that greater crimes
may bo committed against a nation by
thieves disguised in the livery of loyalty
than by brave mon wearing openly tho
uniform of ebellion.- Wash. Cor. CInctn,
natl Enquirer.

THE VALUE OF LITTLE THINGs.-From
time immemorial, the British government
have always caused red worsted thread
to be woven into the cordage manufac-
tired at their roperies. The object of this
thread iszto prevent pilfering, and to facil-
state the recovery of stolen property
One fine morning it struck poor man in
Chatham dockyard that q jute thread
would do as we'll as one of the worsted
Tue experiment was tried. The rope with
the jnte thread in it was tested in varic-
ty Of ways, by being exposed to salt Wa
ter and the weather for a sufficiently long
period and the result was that worsted
was abandoned. Such is the magnitude
of government transactions that by SIM
ply substituting that thread of jute for one
of worsted, Great Britain saves 9l,soo a
year forever, or at least as long as British
ships want rope.

WELL SAID.-Commenting on tbe"New
Year." the Mobile Register closes an arti
Gle tastefully written in the following
beautiful and impressive manner:
s"But hard as the task Of endurance is,
wemust not despair. While we till the
earth, drive the spindle, unlock the mines
of mineral wealth from the sleep of ages
beneath our soil, expand our commerce,
educate our children for the duties Of
manhood and patriotism, there is still
another sacred obligation we owe to the
dead. the living, and to posteri.y, and that
is to keep our honor as people, unsullied
and bright before the nations Of the earth !;
for it is only thus that, when the day of
delverance from bondage comes, we shall
be able to utilize and enjoy the sweets OF
restored liberty. For the rest, love your
country and, treasure, it in the deepest
recess of your heart. Love it the more
that it has no friends elsewhere; love it
as widowed mother docs her orphan
child.
ssTo thine own self be true,
And it will follow, as the night the day
Thou can'st not then be false to any man."

ground; and the ripe wheat waved like
a golded sea, and berries dropped in red

where the turfs of plumes which foated
from stately heads and festal robes that
streamed down over the housings of the
superb steeds. But the Princess, mount
ed on a snowy palfry and clad in snow
white velvet, looked pale and sad; and
when on nearing the church, she heard
gush of organ music, which, though ju-
bilant in sound, struck on her car like
funeral knell-she trembied and would
have fallen to the earth, had not a page
supported her. A few minutes after
wards she entered the cathedral There,
with retinue, stood the royal bridegroom,
whom she had never before seen. But
her glance roved from him to the organ

did that smile bring glow on her

Dropping into the court room the other

an unwontcd spruceness of attire aud
evidence of more than ordinary atten.

sundry of the younger members of the
bar, like our friends Cross and Warner.
Looking around for the cause of this
altered aspect of affairs, we soon discov-
cred it il the person of charming young
lady, who occupied chair within the
bar, and was watching the process of
case with as much interest as any of
the legal gentlemen present; indeed it
is our opinion that she gave it closer
attention than did some of the younger
attorneys already alluded to, whose eyes
would occasionally go astray. Upon
inquiry, we learned that the young lady,
whose name is Miss Alta NJ. Hullett, is
pursuing regular course of legal study
with Messrs. Lathrop aud Bailey, with
view to 6t herself for the practice of the
law She is a young lady of more than
ordinary personal attractions, bright and
