Carl Schurz's Attack on the President.
TFrom the phtladelnhia Rulletin

The motive of Senator Schurz's attempt to
prove that the administration sold arms to France
y undoubtedly to excite the passions and preju-
1ce .ie OF our German population against the Pres
,ueht, 10 that this powerful element will be ar
Iayed against him in the Convention. 1t is a
smart trick but not an honorable one. We ask
onr German friends not to accept the improved
aSsertations of Mr.. Schurz as exact truth Let
.nem wait until there is fair investigation of
y, We whole business and base their action upon
s .ne result. President Grant is entitled to such
Ialr play from every honest citizen

The letter carriers IN the service OF the Uni
tsd States Post Office Department receive a
salary Of $1,000, and desire it increased to
$1,000 1t is urged in their behalf that the
duties of their position require men of intelli-
gence, activity, and physical endurance, as
well as thorough honesty and fidelity, and that
the salary now paid is small compensation for
sich class Of public servants. This is true,
aal the justice of the increase becomes appar-
ent III the fact that while only active, healthy
men can serve the place, they who at their
time should be laying up something for the
future, are really able to save little or nothing

Philadelphia, though she has two powerful
costly, and expensive ice-boats, wants a third to
keep open her port in Winter. In the Common

directing the trustees of the city ice-boats to
receive estimates for building new boat and
to place coaling depots at Chester and New Cas-

a Novel Hypnotic.

Dr.. Cowran, in his medical
History of the Himalayas," speak
ing ola native tribeiin the north
ern district of the peninsula, says,
when mother goes into a field to
work, or is otherwise unable to
take her child with her, she selects
some sheltered spot near stream,
in which she places little straw
for a he'd for her infant, and then
directs, by means of a piece of
split bamboo, current of water,
of from one to two or three inches
in diameter, on its uncovered occl-
put and temples. This produces a
soporific effect, which generally
lastsas long as the water continues
to flow. The sleep is said to be very
soothing, and children who have
been much subjected to its influ-
ence are known to have been UNI
usually free from annoyances in
cidental to the period of dentition.

was fitting through the moonlight to-
ward the lodge room. The Tiler looked
amazed when Eva burst into the ante
room, her cheeks burning and her eyes
flashing with joy and excitement.
''Do not stop me; I am going in I"
she exclaimed. But the inner door was
fastened, and the impatient Eva nearly
cried with vexation.
"Wait a moment" said the Tiler,
who having heard nothing of what had
transpired within, was at o loss to ac-
count for the strange conduct of child;

request to Mr.. Turner. He will come

"The child is crazy, that is evident, "
said the perplexed Tiler to himself ;but
calling out the deacon, he bade him
say that Eva was there and had deter
mined to get into the lodge room.
The deacon went to the East, and lie.
livered his message in low tone, and
q moment afterward moved "that the
craft be called from labor to refresh
ment."
And Eva did come, or rather bounded
into the hall, more beautiful in her OK
citement than ever before. She ad-
vanced to the centre of the room and
stood beside the altar; half poised
upon the tiny root she scanned rapidly
the faces of all. Her eager eyes soon
detecte l the strangers, who were seated
behind the rest, and for a moment
seemed irresolute, then darting forward
with glad cry, she threw her arms
about the neck of Mr.. Durant, crying,
ooh, papa, my dear papa, you have
come home at last! You were not
burned in the ship?"
We will not attempt to paint the scene
further, but will leave our readers to
imagine the joy of the fond father, and
also leave them to decide whether the
tears that wet the cheeks of the Breth-
ren of Hiram Lodge were caused by
sympa;hy with the happiness of their
little charge, or grief that they should
lose one whom they oil loved.

The Worcester Mass Spy says:
Asingular electrical phenomenon ia

street. In passing around the room
and rubbing the feet on the carpet n

electricity !; upon touching the register
or any good conductor a brilliant spark
of large size is developed. The eas
can be readily lighted first turning it
on, and then rubbing the feet on the
carpet and holding one finger over the
jet. A spark often darts from the feet.
when passing over certain places in
the floor, producing n painful sensation.
The electricity is only developed by
rubbing the feet on q carpet undorlaid
with Manila paper. When three or
fonr persons take hold of hands and
walk around they all become power

produce this phenomenon, and it's in
