The Chicago Post says, it is little
surprising that at ten o'clock IN the
morning, we received, at the Office OF the
Post. an abstract Of the Queen speech,
delivered in London in the afternoon
The phenomenon is accounted for by the
slowness Of the sun.
A laughable thing took place at
revival meeting somewhere in Mlsslsslp-
nj not long since. The minister noticed
seedy looking chap in one Of the seats,
looking as though he needed religion or
good square meal. So he stepped up
to him and asked him if he was Chris
tan; mo SIR said he, Il am the edl-
tor of the Democratic paper in this place.
Then for mercy sake let us pray, re-
piled the devoted minister.

Il is stated, there is a strong DISPOSE
ton manifest among leading Senators OF
both parties for the repeal Of the tenure
Office bill, and efforts will undoubtedly
be made in this direction before the cl Sc

Democratic Senators Thurman and
Cassesly, while discussing a petition In
the Senate, found cruel delight in expos
ing and ri6iculing the ignorance prevail
ent among the North Carolina "poor
white and colored citizens. The charge
is unfortunately true, but it can never
be forgotten that Southern ignorance is
the natural consequence of fifty years of
Democratic misrule which prescribed
education there and esteemed teachers
as little better than criminals.
Brigham Young is thought to be

jacob Abbott gives the following rules

you consent, consent cordially. When

Secretary Boutwell, has written let
ter to the Hon. Samuel Hooper, Chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Committee, in which he clearly show the
impolicy and injustice of repeal Of the
income tax. MIR Boutwell, is entirely
unable to see the propriety or wisdom Of
relieving those liable to pay an income
tax, and by the same act transferring the
chief burden of payment of the princi-
pal and interest of the public debt, pen
sions. and current expenses of govern
ment, to the producing. consuming, and
business interests Of the country. In
this view the Secretary of the Treasury
is sustained by reason and justice, as
well as by the great body of his country
men, who are decent, not to say honest,
enough to be willing to bear their fair
share of the public burdens.
"A London telegram of the 18th an
nounceS that upon the adjournment, that
day, of the conference for the conSidera-
ton of the Eastern question, assurances
were given out that a pacific solution had
been attained. This intelligence is the
more gratifying because all the consigna
tory powers. except France. were repre-
scented at the meeting The news is
probably entitled to entire credence =
Should it so turn OUT, the fact that war,
apparently imminent, had been averted
by the power of reason and argument,
will be of the greatest value to those re
formers who would establish an interna-
tional code throughout Christendom. by
which war with aill It's horrors would be
banished TO the dark regions of barbar-
ism, eventually from the earth. This
great reform Is probably nearer than most
people anticipate.
