A Democratic newspaper mentions it
as "a significant fact" that as soon as
Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana. an
nounoed that he had refused bribe OF
$50. 600, he was Immediately repudiated
by the Grant administration. But the
administration did not know that he re.
jeoted the bribe only because it. wss aim.
ply not large enough. He demanded
$4,000, which was refused, aud that
was whnt he was mad about. If the
President had understood this feature Of
the Louisiana muddle, he would not
have thrown Yarmouth overheard. But
he always said he could not get hold OF
the merits of that quarrel.

b6- There is a story Of young lady, q
recent graduate Of school for girls, who
had worn the badge Of the legion Of
honor Gone of the rewards of the schooD,
for four years in succession, the FIRST time
such distinction had been achieved in
twenty years, and which requires that the
student shall not have missed day, nor
an hour, nor lesson, nor in any way re-
ceived black mark during the entire
year" This is painful. The amount Of
self-control necessary to have been absolute
ly perfect in department for four year is
simply enormous. Much Of the vitality
and spirit which make perpetual youth the
one thing to be desired, much Of the grace
and archness and abandon of nature must
have been mercilessly suppressed. 1t was
the same kind of management of self as
that to which the true nun subjects her.
self. We are heartily glad that this is the
first case in twenty years, and trust that II
will be the last one for hundred years
Parents are largely responsible for such an
occurrance as this, but they are foolishly
and cruelty ambitious for their children
These rewards of merits arc not intended
to produce such results. They are simply
intended as help toward the government
of the school by developing generous ri
valry in the matter of behavior. 1t is not
expected that they will substitute for
human nature monastic uniformity OF
perfection, as they seem to have done iu
the present instance.

~ Pay no attention to slandcrcrs or
gossip mongers. Keep straight on in your
course, and let their backbiting die the
death of neglect. What is the use of ly.
ing awake nights broodins over the re-
mark of some false friend, that runs
through your brain like forked lightning? :?
What is the use of getting into worry and
fret over gossip that has been set afoat to
your disadvantage by some meddlesomc
busybody, who has more time than charac
ter? These things cannot possibly injnre
you, unless, indeed, you take notice ofthem,
and in combating them give them character
and standing IF what is said about YOU
is true, set yourself right at once if It it
false, let it so for what it will fetch. 1t is
wisdom to say little respecting the injuries
you have received. We are generally los.
ers in tho end if We stop to rcfutc all the
backbitings and cossips We may hear by
the way. They arc annoying it is true, but
not dangerous so long as VIC do not stop to
expostulate and scod. Our characters are
formed and sustained by ourselves and by
our own actions and purposes, and not by
others; let us always bear in mind that
calumniators may usually be trusted to
time, and the slow, but steady justice of
public opinion.

@-Whether cotton could be grown sue

~Whether cotton could be grown sue
cessfully in the southern valleys Of the
State Of California has been, for long time,
rather vexed question am,ng the cult,
yators of the soil on the Pacific Slope. Re-
cent experiments made by gentleman in
Merced and Los Angeles counties secm,
however, now to have settled tho matter
beyond dispute, proving that the culture
of cotton can be made highly profitable il
the warmer counties Of California. In for.
mer years, but few acres have been planted ;
but this year Mr.. Strong planted seventy
five acres, and is now gathering his crop.
The yield Of his field this year amounts to
three hundred and sevcnty-6ve pounds OF
ginned cotton per acre, the cost ofproduc-
ing which is about six cents per pound.
Next year Major Strong intends 10 plant
three thousand acres with cotton, and there
is, apparently, no reason why tho produc-
tion Of this staple, as we'll as Of ramie,
should not be caraied on successfully in GER
tain portions Of California.

How CHINAMEN GET TO AMERICA.
1t may Ee Interesting to those who are nse
postcd to know how John Chiuaman get
here. 1t is to be understood, FIRST Of all,
that the Chinese who come to America are
all poor men. An INDECENT Chinamau goes
to tue official of his natiyo village, or the
precinct Of the city in which he resides,
and proposes to mortgage himself and his
family for money with which to como to
America, where he expects to make his for
tune, clear up his affairs, and live thence
forward in peace, comfort, and prosperity.
1t often happens, however. that the China.
man docs not return at the expiration offs
certain time for which tho mortgage runs,
and then the harpiss and money lenders,
into whose hands the business has ialIen
by this time, pounce upon the poor China
mans family and sell them into slayery
without the least compuuction Of conscience.
Under such circumstances do moAt Of tho
Chinese who land upon our shores come.

AMERICAN BEAUTy.-Amcrican maid.

Their blooming reign is brief. y libra
rian in one Of our most popular public
libraries, who has long enjoyed the oppor-

great numbers Of the same faces among

duration of this fragile lovcliness at less
than three years. lie assures me that the
young woman who appears in the perfect

period, generally lose, before its close,

marriage, and expects to lose nothing OF
her personal charm. 1t is in Germany

We look for the queens Of society among

PEEL's FIRST EFFORT IN ORAroRY.--
Soon after the birth of the great British
Statesman, Sir Robert Peel, his father, tho
first baronet, rising daily in wealth and
consevuence, and believing that money, in
those peculiar days, could always command
q seat in Parliament, determined to bring
up his son expressly for the house Of Com
mons. When the son was quito child,
Sir Robert would frequently set hi 4, on

ducod were applauded, and applause slim.
ulating cxertion, produced such effects
that before Robin was ten years old,
he could address the company with some
degree Of cloqucnce. AS hegrew Mp,
his father constantly took him every
Sunday into his private room, and made
him repeat, as we'll as he could, the SER
mon that had been preached Little
progress in cffecting this was made,, and
little was expected at first; but by steady
perseverance the habit Of attention grew
powerful, and the sermon was repeated al
most verbatim. When at q very distant
day the Senator, rembering accurately the
speech of an opponent, answered his argu-
mouts in quick succession. it was not then
known that the power of SO doing was or

SMALL BEdiNNtNGs in JOURNAfLsM.
1T is remarkable fact that the smaller

which he performed soon after, his arrival

Go To SLErp.--Many children, instead
of being as plump and fresh as a peach,
are rs withcrel and wriuklol as last years
apples, because they do not sleep enough.
Some physicians think that the bones crow
only duriu- sleep. This cannot say, Ger
tain.y; but | do know that little folks
who sit up late at nights are usually ncrv-
Gus, weak, small and sickly.
The reason you need more sleep than
your parents i, because YOU have to grow
and they have not. They can use up the
food they cat in thinking, talking aud walk
in-, while you should save some of yours
for growing. You ought to sleep great
deal if not, yqu will in activity consume
all you cat, aud have none, or not enough ,
to grow with.
Very few smart children excel, or even
c1ualo'hor people when they grow up.
Why is lhis? ? Bccau~c their heals, tic r

A CARRIAGE FOR SEA BArHING.-A
Philadelphia coach maker is building a
carriage to bo used in sea bathing. Its
design is to protect the lives Of bathers
They will stand or sit in the carriage a,

danger Of drowning. The body is Of oval
shape, hung on q running gear, as other
vehicles, inclosed with galvanized iron wire
four feet high; height Of frame seven feet
on the side, and seven feet nine inches in
the centre. 1t will have seat at each end,
with an awning over the top to protect tn e
occupants from the sun. The carriage
part has iron axles and four elliptic springs;
size of wheels three and four feet; rim,
three inches wide. On tho side Of the
carriage will be two floats, metallic cylinders,
made Of galvanized iron, cigar shaped, four
teen feet long and sixteen inches 10 diam.
eter. Their buoying capacity will DO about
two thousand pounds each. Tho carriage
will have an open slat bottom, and will
carry twelve persons. The mode Of getting
the carriage out into the water will be by
ropes. A rope will run from it to an an.
chor in the water, and another to the shore !:
the carriage can be sent out to any depth
desired, or returned to the land, at tho will

WOULDN'T Run IN DEBr.-A New York
paper says that the other day a little son of
a we'll know bank officer in Wall street lost
his purse while coming from Central Park,
and stranger, seeing his discomfort, paid
his railroad fare-three cents. The hoy,
thanking him, said: "If you will tell mo
your name, will bring it to you tomorrow" !"
"Oh, no, said the gentleman, never
mind it. ;"
The boy persisted, saying his father never
allowed him to run in debt.

the gentleman" but l live No.--, on

The next morning the door-bell ruug at
that house, and our little hero told the
amused servant maid his Grand.
(Which Of the gentlemen is it! said
she, "thcre arc several in the family"
The boy twisted on his heel. aud, after
moments thought, said: "Have you a
photograph. book in the house 2"
She brought it, and turning over its
pages, he said pointing to one: 3" That's
the one. Please give him these three cents
and tell him that the boy who borrowed it
in the cars yesterday left it to pay his
debts"
If that little fellow grows up with the
careful principles which he has now, he
will be a man to de trusted.
