have to live upon, live upon it. Every
body being aware of the extent Of every

small pride, which shows itself IN living
or dressing beyond ones means. Then
again German ladies find their chief
pleasure at home. They look after the
comfort of their husbands. \ wife does
not order her husbands pipe and coffee,
slippers aud dressing gown, but fetches
them. She superintends the cooking,
keeps the keys Of the pantry, does the
marketing, hires and pays the servants,
examines and repairs clothes from the
laundry, kuits the stockings aud makes
the shirts. They have a custom in parts
Of England of presenting a fitch Of
bacon to any married couple who have
not quarTcled for seven years. To car.
out this practice in Germany would be
impossible. Pigs enough could not be
found to supply the bacon. So you see
it it should please Hod to grant twenty
five years of married life to a German

The ARDENNEs DoG.-The dog OF the
Ardennes accompanies the flock when it
leaves the pentold in the spring, only to
return when the winter snow drives the
sleep home again for shelter. Each
| shepherd possesses one or two of these
dogs, according to the size of his flock.
10 act as sentinels. Their office is not to
run about and bark and keep the sheep
in order, but TO protect them from out
side foes. When the herdsman has gath
cred his flock in some rich valley. these
white, shaggy monsters crouch on the
groqnd, apparently half asleep but now
and the great sagacous eyes will
open, and, passing over the whole of
their charge, remain for a while fixed on
the distant horizon as though they fol-
lowed a train Of thought which led them
away from earth-so sadly do they gaze
into the infinite.
But let the mountain breeze bear to
his ever-moving nostril the scent of the
hated wolf, or his quick ear detect an un-
known noisr; then is the time to see one
of these dogs in his glory. His eyes be-
comes black with ferccness, his hair
stands erect, his upper lips becomes
wrinkled, showing a range OF white, for
midableteeth, while a low growI alone
escapes flom his throat. When his keen
faculties have detected the whereaLout
of his foe, he rushes forward with a
bound that overlooks all obstacles, and
bark that echoes from all the surround
ing hills.
Every dog of like breed that may be
near, takes up the note ana rushes
cleaning through the brushwood to join
in the attack. Tender as the childhood
he protects, woe to him who dare lit
hand on one Of the little ones with
whom he has been brought up. 1t is
not he who buys him who is the master,
it is he who fed him when pup, who
petted and shared his pittance with him
he 1t is, who has his love, and who re-
ciprocates his faithful affection.

General William 5. Rosecrans has re.

General William 5. RosecranS has re-
Gently written Il letter TO the 4Aq Caii-
touia, advocating the construction of
narrow guage railways. Gen. Rose
Grams argues that, regarded economically,
a railway is hauling machine, and that
every unnecessary expense put upon this
machine adds to the expense of hauling,
which cost must be paid by the people.
In every proposed new railway, he says,
the question comes up, and should be
asked, will narrow guage do the work?'
Consulting reason and experience on
this point Gen. Rosecrans asks whether
the most crowded four-foot eight and a
half inch guage railway in the United
States has more work than it can per-
form, aud asserts that the most promi-
nent line of road with this guage carries
five times as much freight over each
mile as the most heavily worked road in
the United States, and yet has more
than sufficient capacity for all the cars
that pass over it. Under this state OF
facts, Gen. Rosecrans argues that there
is no necessity for constructing new
lines of railroads in this country, with
carrying capacity fifty times greater
than they will ever be called upon to do,
and asserts that any man who can show
that they should be so constructed and
can prove that a six-horse Concord Coz !cl
should be built to give an infant an
airing

Work While it is Called To-Day.

Save in the friendly night,
Which hides beneath its grateful sh AIDES

And there are burdens 10 be borne,
And ictlcrs TO be broke,
And trees Of evil TO hcw down
With many a tOilsomc stroke
Up for the world is full of strife,
The earth Is sown with sin,
Quick springing like the nGXious tares,
a noble field within.
And, though at first but tiny blades,
Or shower and sunshine born,
The laborcr needs but rest, and straight
They overtop his corn
Then up nor dream of rest to-day

And some concealed in ambush lie,
And some dispute the ground.

There is no armor against fate
Death lays his mighty hand on kings

And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade,
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill
But their strong arms at last must yield
Ihey tame but one another still
Early or late
They stoOp to fate, ~
And must give up the murmuring breath

RADICAL FEUDs.

The Radicals in the South, where they
are in majority, are divided into verJ
bitter factions. This is especially true al
10 Alabama and Florida. The Washing
ton Patriot, of July 8, says:
Ex-senator Willard Warmers ap
pointment as Collector of the port Of
Mobile is not satisfactory TO the great
body ef the Republicans of Alabama;
and it seems TO be particularly offensive
to the c5lored Republicans. Senator
Spencer and Congressman Hays, both Re
publicans, have already protested against
The appointment, and last night Congress
man Turner, (negro), of the Mobile dis
trict, arrived here, TO unite hli
protest to that of Spencer and
Hays. Turner will probably leave
this morning for Long Branch, to see
the President upon the subject. Senator
Spencer is now at Long Branch, and il
was reported last night that, at his earnest
solicitation, the President had teiegrapheo
here to withhold the commission for The
present, although it was signed yesterday,
and Warner had given his bond. "
The Washington Republican of July
says Senator Osborn, of Florida, is OIL
a pilgrimageto Long Branch for the ~pur.
pose of persuading the President to re.
move Collector Potter of the port of Pen
sacola, and commission his friend, P. c.
Humphreys.

action under the act Of 1867. 1t follows
that Barbour Lewis could not 5e de
f1cto officer; as there was no legal Board
of which he could be President, and as
there was no vacancy in the legal organi-
cation.
The warrants issued by him show the
character in which he was acting, and re-
pei the presumption that he was de
fdcto officer. He could be, under the
circum stances, as we can iadicially know
from the law and the pleadiDgs in the
case, nothing but an usurper.
There must be legal office in exist

several cases in which the Court has re-
cognized the acts of officers de

were instances of Illegally hold
ing offices which had a legal exist
ence. See Head, 500, Head, 1853; 2
Cold. 605, and / Heisk. 764. The de-
csions as to the de fGcto character OF the
State governments in time of war, have

THE PARDON OF BOWEN.

from President Grant directing him to
make out the necessary papers for the
rardon of C G. Bowen, ard to forward
them to him at Long Branch at once for
einonature. The sentiment of the people,
here and elsewhere, will warmly approve
tbis act of clemency on the part of the
President. a fact which was evidenced
nv the number of petitions and letters
which were daily presented at the .Attor-
nov Generals office ON the subject. The
eniire State Government of South Caro-
lima the Legislature of the District. the

This is one of the most hagrGnt cases
IN record. This fellow Bowen had not

or through his procurement. There ap-

criminal TO escape the punishment due his
crimes A few friends can get almost

asking the pardon of q criminal, and po'
Iitical consideration will go a long way in
influencing Radical officials andlegislators.
Cen Grant might with equal prop'iety
turn loose every criminal VINO is still suf-

them. Laws for the punishment OF CRIME
