fthey had como to q personal COLI

rial damaZe. 1t would have been not
a bad illustration of the radical theory
of personal government. The man
with the best muscle wonld have es-
tablished his constitutional right to
govern the other blackguard, just as
both blackguards are demonstrating
the right of might to supercede the
government of law in all parts Of the
country.

A RADICAL PROTEST.

The New York Nation, the fairest
and abiest of all the Republican jour
nails, raises its voice against the de-
,tructive and revolutionary legislation
involved in the ku klux bill. we
would commend its words of warning
to every honest Republican voter in
the land. 1t says:
1t is needless to say that the formal
abortion OF this doctrine would rapidly
bring about the reputation by all the
states of all responsibility tor the Sc
curity of their own citizens, and the
assumption by the General GoVern-
ment of all the duties of government;
and we shouldthen have atotally e
and highly centralized form OF admln
istration, which, when extending over
such an enormous territory ana deal
ing with great masses OF population
would have to be arbitrary, minute,
highly organized and rlSidly disci,
nlined-CSesarist, in short. Ahundred
q hence when people asked how
this monStrouS body came to be sub
stituted for the early confederated re
public they would be told that the
people, being disguised by local dis
turbances caused by the sudden aces
sion of ignorant bodies of voters TO the
constituencies after the great rebellion
suddenly determined, i'll a fit of impa'
thence, under the advice of a band o
wild and reckless politicians, to aban
don their Constitution, and set up
system like that of France, which wa
at that moment engaged in the substi
tuition of a universal Republic for
sensual Empire. We cordially agree
with the Evening Post, that We are
about TO witness now a desperate at
tempt on the part of a large number
of political Adventures and corrup
SPECTATORS. by working on the hu
m~anitarian feelings of the Northern
people, to prevent the restoration o
peace and order by the natural pro
cesses, and to protract the period o
violence, arbitrary rule, and DISREGARD

to the Enterprise from Washoe City,
dated 9th, says:
About Q O'Clock last night, the pris-

in the attempted break. The prison

CONSUMPTION and Climate.

quent iii Massachusetts, and-as Mr..
Bill has rather uneandidly neglected
to inform us-twice as frequent in
Minnesota as they are in Georgia.
Minnesota is indeed a colder Stat
than Massachusetts. But its greater
cold is offset in part by the greater
dryness of its soil. A damp soil is
one of the most prolific causes of con-
sumption. Minnesota occupied an
elevated portion of the continent; it is
an undulating country, and its natur-
al watersheds insure its thorough
drainage. This circumstance un-
doubleday conduces to the healthiness
of the climate. Nor is it improbable
that its long and severe winters, ow-
ing to the cOnstancy of their cold,
may be less trying to the cOnsump-
tive than the varying weather of the
Eastern and Middle States. But the
Smithsonian Institution records

Use a d Uselossness of WOOdpeckers.

Ethan Spencer, BoonYilte, Indiana,
writes the Farmers Club of this city,
as follows:
"There are six different birds called
wOOdpeckeTs, found from New York
to Missouri: ]. a very small bird,
with a blue back and brown breast,
may be known by his almost perpet-
ual motion, while he goes up and
down your apple tree talking loudly
to himself, and looking into every
crack and crevice or picking worms
out of decayed stick of wood. 2. a
speckled bird, a size larger, and which
is but q dwarf of the third, both hav-
ing the same habits and color, and
both may be known by their sharp
cry; and fourth, the large WOOdceeR,
about the size of q wOOd-duck, and
bill like q spike, and a red head.
"These four are comparatively
harmless, and should not be harmed;
but then comes the fifth, dirty-speck-
led bird, and known by his whining cry
something like a cat-bird and by his
hiding behind the body of the tree to
shun your presence and whenever the
sap will run he picks out the bark
down to the wood in blocks until he
often completely girdles and kills the
tree. They often attack our evergreen,
sldue anu OTuauleutti trees ana ali
for the sap and life of the tree; and
sixth, white and black-winged and
red-headed WOOdpeckers,

them that they destroy the potato bug.

lovers of berries, and then when corn
is good rOasting-ear they pick holes
through the husk, letting the water

and not for any insect, and in winter

slider an uunIitigated nuisance.

THE MAGIC NEEDLE In Europethe

THE MAGIC NEEDLE In Europe the
chief power of the magnet was per-
haps known but never applied for q
thousand years An Icelandic writer,
Are Erode, makes the first mention OF
it near the year HOO, stating that, q
hundred years before, a famous pirate
went in search of Iceland under the
guidance of three ravens, trained for
the purpose, since Gin those days sail
ors of the northern region did not yet
know the use of the leadstOne," For
he called it the lead or leading stoue,
from which our leadstOne is derived.
Even this historian, however, knew
only a magnet suspended by thread,
and the compass itself was yet Undis-
covered. At first, the magic needle
was used with amusing clumsiness, as
we learn from q manuscript dated
1903 in the Royal Library in Paris.
An ugly black stone, called gI1GTi5lieTe,
we are told, which sailors valued
highly, was taken out when nights
were dark, and a needle rubbed with
it lightly; the latter was then cum
ningly placed upon a straw, and sci
afioat in basin, when thepOint would

voice; Mr.. Speaker! Mr.. Speaker! l

dropped many rich gems from his
mouth, but never a richer one than that.
PAY as yOU go" and you need not
dodge sheriffs and constables. PAY as
you co." and you can walk the streets
with an erect back and manly front,
aud haye no fear OF those you meet. You
won't have to cross the street to avoid a
dun, or look intently in a shop window,
in order not TO see n creditor. 'Pay az
you co." and you can snap your fingers
at the world, aud when you laugh, it
will be hearty, honest one, and not
like the laugh of poor debtor, who
looks around as though he was in doubt
whether the laugh was not the proper
| ty of his creditors, and not included in
articles exempted from attachment -
''Pay as you co. and you will meet
smiling faces at home-happy, cherry
checked, smiling children-a contented
wife-a cheerful hearth-stOne. John
Randolph was right. 1t is the philoso-

mond, an experienced railroad man
says that territory ten miles wide on
each side of a railroad, in a country
capable of sustaining any Ordinaril
dense population, is capable of sup

out from any commercial centre,
through such a country, they will be
sure TO bring q sufficient population
to support them, within a very few
years after their construction, if it is
not already there when the road is
projected This is for railroads Of the
