Its PROGRESS.

Showing the progress the Radical party
has made since 1863, the Pittsburg Post
refers to its record. In that year, dur
ing the month of May, it declared in
convention at Chicago that the question
of suffrage belonged of right to the
States. In 1869, for the purpose of fore
ing the obnoxious Fifteenth Amendment
upon the country, the leaders of the
party asserted that Congress might in
terfere so far as to secure the right Of
the elective franchise to all persons, but
might not 90 further. In 1871 they de-
clare that all elections and registrations
come directly under the eye of the gene
raj government, which has the right to
appoint its agents to conduct all cleo
tons. regardless of State and local laws.
All this was done, and is being done, to
establish the right of supreme control in
the central government That principle
firmly established and it will declare
elections unnecessary aud assume mon
archial authority. To this end and this
alone are the Radical leaders working.

MUrILArED CURRENCY.

The United States District Court Of
North Carolina has rendered a very i'm
portant decision in regard to mutilated
currency. The circumstances we're these:
A citizen presented tEo-dollar ball,
United States currency, which was con-
siderably mutilated, in payment for
stamps. The postmaster refused to take
the bill. and the citizen sued him for two
dollars damages. The Court gave judg-
nent for the plaintiff for two dollars and
costs, the latter amounting to about
ninety dollars. II was proved on the
trial that the Postofhee Department had
issued orders that pOstmasters should
receive mufilafed currency for postage
when offered The Court held that all
departments Of the Government were
bound to sustain the currency Of the
Government; and the fact Of bin being
more or less mntileted was no justisca-
ton for its being refused by any official
Of any department Of the Government

An Incident OF Louis NapoIeon's

Max Ring, the German author, has
published new book entitled "Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte," in which he gives
the following anecdote of the early years
Of the ex-Emperor: When very little
fellow he used 10 pass, on his way to
school, blacksmith's shop around
which he sometimes loitered. One day
he made the discovery that the black
smith was in the habit of lighting his
pipe with a long rod of iron, one end Of
which was generally left sticking in the
forge that Il might be drawn out red hot
for this purpose. This gave Louis a
bright idea, and, watching for a favor
able opportunity, he drew the rod out of
the FIRE and replaced it with the hot end
left sticking out, so that when the smith
returned in few seconds, after tenn
porary absence, and, unconscious of the
change, took hold Of the rod to draw il
out Of the fire to light his pipe as usual,
he burned his hand badly. His excla-
nation of pain and surprise was re-
sponded to by burst of uncomfortable
laughter from the irrepressible Louis,
who had hidden himself away some
where to enjoy the success of his nice
little practical joke, and who thus, de-
spite Of himself, had revealed his secret
and his hiding-place. The consequence
was that he received the best beating
that he probably ever got in his life
Sedan excepted) from the old smith,
whose name was Mayer, and who is still
living and well TO do, near Elbing.

DR.. EarIe,s Revival.

A morning Contemporary quotes an ex-
tract from letter written by A. Hatchett
in the Richmond Herald, as follows:
From the Richmond (Virginia) Re
ligious Herald of January 26th we copy
the following extract from a letter writ
ten by Mr.. A. Hatchett, Of this city,
touching the late revival meetings of the
Rev. Mr.. Earle, of the Baptist church;
"As TO Brother Earle's meetings here,
most Of us disagreed with his manner OF
conducting them and the understanding
with him and DR.. Ford was, that the
meetings would be under Baptist con
troll; but neither of them abided by the
agreement. The consequence was that
the Baptist churches derived but a par
tial benefit from his labors; and think
that the death of Brother Burns had
more to do with the results of our meet
ing than Brother Earle's labors. Io
So It seems DR.. Earle's meeting did
not quite bury the Hatchett.

NOT YuLTILLKD.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in re-
cent lecture in Chicago, asserted that the
Republican party had finished its mis-
sion, and that nothing now remained for
it but to be gathered to its fathers in the
family vaults Of the Federalists and the
Wings. Upon this the World says:
That it is soon to occupy that gloomy
receptacle is quite evident; but why does
Mrs. Stanton think that its mission is
ended2 Are there no more Sickleses to
be honored by diplomatic appointments
Are all the Dents, TO the third and fourth
generation, supplied with Offices; and are
all the needy politicians Of New England
satisfed2 If not, how can the mission
Of the party be said to be ended? That
it ought never TO have had the oppor-
tunity to carry its mission into operation
will be generally conceded. But why
its mission can be said 10 be any nearer
fulfllment than it was four years ago is
not 50 easily seen.

scribner's Monthly for February con
tains a most Interesting article upon
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Storm-fore'
casts" by Prof. T. B. Meury, of New
York, brother of DR.. Maury, of this
city. For several years the subject has
engaged the attention of the scientific
bureaus of England and France, and
within the last few months our Govern
mept has created a system of weather
telegraphy, under the superintendent
of the chief signal officer of the United
States army. The object Of, this system
is to denote the general laws-the cause,
the course and the velocity-of the great
storms which sweep over the land and
over the sea; and to institute system
of signals and kilograms by which timely
notice of their approach may be given to
shipping ON our lakes and seaboard. It
has been ascertained that the desolating
cyclones which sweep over our continent
and the fearful storms which beat across
our lakes and upon the ocean are gov
erned by uniform laws; and the success
which has crowned the infancy of this
science of meteorology warrants the ex-
pectation that it will, in the course Of
few years, yield the most benefcent re
suits. The article referred to is very
full and learned presentation of the sub
iect, and will abundantly repay, in enter
tainment and instruction, a careful peru
sal. 1t is the first of series of two arti-
cles upon the subject, the next to appear
in the March number of the same jour
nal When the subject shall have been
fully presented by Prof. Maury, we will
furnish our readers with more elaborate
statement of its general features and the
practical operation of the system OF tele-
graphic warnings. The writer of the ar
ticle before us shows, by his clear and
admirable treatment Of the subject, that
he possesses q large endowment of that
gift for scientific pursuit which charac-
terizes his illustrious relative, Mathew

the Inevitabie MRS. Gaines.

The indomitable Mrs. Gaines, of New
Orleans, has been sued by her lawyers
for fees amounting to Sl27,00 She was
in court one day last week, and is thus
sketched by the Picayune: "She was
dressed in a handsome green silk,
trimmed with a darker shade of green
satin, over which she wore an elegant
velvet cloak, fringed with black lace. A
profusion of blonde curls were caught up
and becomingly arranged underneath a
jaunty black velvet hat, decorated with
a heavy green feather of the exact shade
of the dress and gloves. Mrs. Gaines
ran up the broad stairway leading to the
courtroom upon the second floor, with
all the vim of youth; and when she had
looked into the papers, and taken all the
notes she required for her own satisfac-
ton, she went tripping down again, and
in a moment more, having beckoned to a
gentleman escort, she slipped her arm
into his, and stepped briskly off up
Chartres street, with stride of buxom
English girl taking her morning consti-
tutional.
