GYNOCEREEAH.EISs

An animal which rivals the greatest human
riders in teats of Equestri anisn, and has been
pronounced by the Press of Paris and London
to be the ost remarkable novelty and most
powerful attraction aver introduced in the Eques-
Irian. Arena. This animal was captured il
Zanzibar, Africa, by its proprietor and trainer,
Mems, Jean Marel, and taught to exercise an
act of horsemansbip in imitation of the per-
formances Of human riders. The Gynocaphalus
actually accomplishes feats which it would be o.
natural mpossibility for any human rider to
achieve. In Paris and London this eXtraordin-
cry animal attracted the greatest crowds ever
draw WE to the Cirque Napoleon and Royal Am
.phithcatTe, and proved the most uocessfal fea-
ture ever introduced IN q European Circus. In

LIFE.

What inspiration in the word!
And how we love to dwell
Upon it, for it wreaths around,
A bright and magic spell.
The very word doth thrill the soul,
Like some bright fancy dream.
And dSeems forever breathing forth,
A pure. and sparkling stream.
A breeze is blowing o'er the hill,
And seems to whisper life!
We list, and turn awhile away,
From darkness, and from strife.
Life! hear the birds sing gladly out,
Life echo's all around.
While nature sweetly adds her voice
And clearly swells the sound.
But then, this life tho very bright,
Will very soon be DER,
Yet there will he brighter life,
Upon the other shore.
The flowers live forever there,
The streams forever flow,
And on life's river We will glide,
And live forever more. .
The 'pearly gates" and golden
Streets"
Will brightly beam as now,
While life, will deeply be eHtamped,
Upon our every brow.
So while thro' life we gently glide,
In mingled peace and love,
Hope sheds her brightest beams
around,
The life of joy above.

A Peculiar Custom n Lancaster, Pa.

A Peculiar Custom In Lancaster, Pa.
Prom the Philadelphia Ledger. q,
The first ofApril in Lancaster county,
Il ls'stated, Is one peculiar 70 that region,
being the great payday and the time for
settling the accounts Of the entire year.
ia farm is disposed Of, or cattle are sold,
or any article worth over one hundred
dollars changes hands, u note payable on
April 1st, is usually given. No other day,
-sGysthe Lancaster ErpTeSs, wilt suit, md
consequently that city on April 1st is filled
with the country people prepared to pay
and ready TO receive money. -eonse!
quently, the banks are very busy, and the
country people, It . stated, do not make
use Of checks in transferring money nom
the account Of one deposition TO that OF
another. lThemoney Is drawn from the
bank in crisp notes in one sum, counted
over aud paid 10 fhe respective creditors.
This common desire 10 handle the ready
cash, or It's best representative, II Is said,
subjects the banks OF Lancaster to some
inconvenience, as they arc compelled 10
call on the banks Of Philadelphia and
borrow for three or four days many thous.
ands Of greenbacks, which are returned
soon after tho settling day Is over. The
Lancaster banks, on the morning Of April
1st, before business commences, are
obliged to be provided each with from one
hundred thousand to four hundred thous.
and dollars in thevaults and on the coun.
tiers; at noon nearly all this amount Of
the circulating medium Is drawn out, .but
ut the close Of the day the notes, after
passing through dozen hands, again re-
turn to be dcpositedin the keeping Of the
banks. This business Observance of the
first of April Is probably due to the fact
that in the country oil leases commence
on that day, which Is the beginning Of
the farmers year. In old times march
25th, or "Lady Day" was the beginning
of the year, and the period appointed for
settling up accounts, paying debts, NOV.
ing and taking possession Of farms, has,
in The change Of the calendar, naturally
been thrown forward q week to April 1st.

The Spectre Rouge.

The revolt Of the Reds in Paris IS grow
Ing to be desperately bloody affair. The
Versailles government, as 1t IS called,
though it's the only sort Of Government
now existing in France, is thoroughly in
earnest and apparently resolved to force
the fighting to the speediest possible issue.
This is clearly the wiscst course. Time
strengthens any organized defiance OF
governmental authority; and the sooner
the Communists are put down the better
Is the assurance that their sympathizers
and coadjutors in other French cities will
keep quiet. The longer Paris can defy
THEIRS, the greater the danger that the
revolution will spread. But the fact that
the terms OF peace with Germany require
France to pay speedily the first insaIment
of the stipulated indemnity, that the fail
urc to pay it according to agreement
would again put France at the mercy Of
the Germans, and that the raising OF
money is almost if not quite impossible
while Paris is held by revolutionists, all
combine to make the most imperative
necessity for decisive action by the COB
eminent. .
But Paris is great city. With pop
ulation Of million and half, she must
have m arms.bearing population of a
couple Of hundred thousand. OF course
alargc proportion are hostile 10 the COM
mune and would only do military duty
under compulsion. But the revolutionists
muster about hundred thousand men
who arc prepared to fight desperately.
They arc nbundantly armed land have
the advantages afforded by the walls Of
the city and some of the forts held by
them; and when driven from these, they
have the resort, which reyolhtionlss in
Paris have always improved, otbarricades
and buildings.
To taEEthe city by storm Is, therefore,
most formidable and bloody under.
taking, and to all appearance the govern
ment has now no alternative but to ut.
tempt il or invite the Germans to reOCcu.
Ply the city. Nor is 1t certain that the
Reds would lay down their arms ut the
approach OF the Germans. From the
shocking excuses they arc committing,
the accounts Of which read like the chron.
iClcs Of the reign Of terror some eighty
years ago, the insurgents appear 10 have
reached state Of desperation which will
admit of no surrender except Mt the can.
mons mouth.
Evidently the interests Of humanity
aud good government require that the re-
volt be stamped out with the least posi-.
bic delay; and with or without the aid Of
the Germans, it is to be hoped the French
authorities will make short, sharp and de-
cisivo work Of II. This Is the only road
to the maintenance Of Republic. II
the Commune Is permitted long to defy
the Theirs Government, tho evils Of the
situation will become so intolerable that
French history will repeat itself, and the
French people take refuge, as they have
done before, in monarchy from the
greater evils inflicted by the madness 81
those who, protesting to be the only friends
Of a Republic, are in fact It's murderous
enemies.

THE AMESDMEET.-A largo number Of
the leading Democratic citizens of Wood
county print in the last Parkersbrug
Gazette strong address in favor ofratify-
ing the proposed amendment to the State
Constitution. Among other things they
say
\ BY the
18th amendment to the United States
Constitution, oil political distinctions on
account of race, color and previous con.
lition Of servitude have been declared
abolished and every negro stands upon
the same political equality with the most
favored white man, Notwithstanding any
State Constitution or law to the contrary.
No action Of the people Of this State can
modify or abridge those rights or alter
this important fact. An attempt 10 do 30,
however peaceablc, would, under the
present construction OF Constitutional
powers, be deemed an act Of revolution
and would be prevented by the military
power of the United States Government.
Thus, 1t Is seen the negro Is voter
whether VIC will II or not. The Flick
amendment, rs we will still call it, has fol-
lis purpose change In that section OF our
Constitution which presCribes the qualifl'
cations for suffrage. The sole practical
effect of It's adoption Is to eniranchisC
those white men now DISTINGUISHED by rea'
son oil their sympathy or aid In the war
now 80 long passed.
Do you not want the DISTINGUISHED to
be enfranchisedP How else can you so
certainly accomplish II as by the adoption
of this amendment If you should pre-
fer the calling of q State Convention for
this purpose you would do "a grave injus'
tice TO tho DISTINGUISHED to do so before
permitting him voice In the determine
lion Of the organic law under which you
and he will have to live. You leave him
in u worse condition than those who have
been his political opponents conceded he
ought to occupy. 1t Is from the supposed
ardent friends Of the DISTINGUISHED comes
the severe opposition to this great meas
ure Of pacitlcation which brings him
back his withheld rights. This measure
is cminently satisfactory to the great ma
jority Of the DISTINGUISHED. 1t meets the
approval of those who deslrs to see ouI
people united and prosperous. 1t closes
up all determinations, and lot US hope
lis adoption will DO the signal for burial
Of such bitter political animosities as
have produced partizan legislation and
famed tho dying CmbeB of personal
hates.

Tho Management Of the National
Finances.
A friend in the Treasury Department
has kindly sent us an exhibit just issued
by the Assistant Secretary, comparing
the net receipts and expenditures of the
Government during the two years from
March /, 1857 to March /, 1860, with the
two years from March |, 1860 to March l.
1871. 1t Nppears from this statement that
despite the heavy curtailments made in
the sources OF Revenue in the last two
years, there was n net increase In the
revenue receipts during that period
over the preceding two years
of $S49O4,O4O "A. At the same time
there was q decrease OF expenditures
amounting to $t90,7OO04O 81. This
makes an actual gain to the Treasury
during Mr.. BoUTwELL's first two years,
over the last two Of his predecessor,
amounting to $9l1,694OOS O5.
From March /, 1867, to March 1, 1885,
the reduction of the public debt was
$2G,441.OSG. From March /, 1850, to
March /, 1871, it was $9O4,754,513OO;
difference in favor oil Mr.. BoutwGlrs nd.

Tho amount ofinterest which willhGre.
after BIO saved to the Government on the
debt already actually paid, is $l1,537, 4Gl
annually, or 1901 ,455O0 monthly, mostly
in gold. This Is over thirty.twO thou
sand dollars day, or over thirteen hun
dred dollars an hour.
