RATHER STARTLING Col. Lamb, oi
Norfolk, in his remarks before the immi-
grafton committee last night, made rather
startling disclosure concerning the situation
and surroundings of the United States ar
senal at Norfolk. The building now thus
used by the government is old Fort Nor
folk, near the city, and it constantly con-
tains immense quantities of powder. Near
the arsenal is large iron establishment,
and around this latter quite village of cot
tagers has sprung up. Daily and nightly
the flames and sparks from the iron fur
naces ascend and fill the air, and when the
wind blows, are often carried directly over
the powder magazine. These conditions
seem to indicate that the chances are good
for a first-class explosion in that locality.
In such an event, the obstruction of life and
property would certainly be appalling.
Col. Lamb stated, however, that the at
telltion of the, government through Hon.
James II. Platt, Jr.,, had been called to
the dangerous proximity of these two es-
tablishments, and it is quite certain that
the combustible material will soon be
reno, ed and Fort Norfolk abandoned by
the government. Upon this presumption
it has been proposed to apply for cession
of the buildings to be used as an entrep6t
for Southern immigration.

What variety of eyes there are in
the world! There are loving eyes, ad-
miring eyes, longing eyes, inquisitiye
eyes, jealous eyes, enVious eyes, ma
licious eyes, smiling eyes, fearful
eyes, meddlcsome eyes, and eyes that
look and yet see nothing: besides ma
NY other kind of eyes which, in their
own peculiar, way, are peering into
the worlds mysteries.
A good way to make loving eyes is

To cause smiling eyes, speak kindly,
deal gently and be light hearted and
merry, remembering life is TO enjoy.
Have fearful eyes whenever the

off troubles, and tighten the spirit.
To avoid meddlesome eyes stay at

Ingenuity of Animals.

One of the largest of ferocious ami.
mals in South America Is the Jaguar
"a native tiger .tel,S onca. Besides
being large and immensely strong, it
practices extraordinary stratagetic
schemes in procuring food, which in
dieates something above mere instinct
because circumstances are constantly
requiring some variations in their TO-
raging expeditions for prey. Hum
bolt says that when they find a turtle
they adroitly turn il over on its back.
1t is then helpless and totally unable
to offer resistance in that condition.
with the most cruel manifestations OF
feline character the iaguar then lois
urply gnaws out the quivering flesh
from between tho she'll and csrapacc.
Another of the jaguar's reasoning ma
ncuvcrings is to quietly follow the
margin OF streams. At the sight OF a
fish near enough to be approached,
with a quick splash of its paw the
game Is thrown high and dry above
the bank, Fortunately for the conn
try the jaguar has his match In the
great serpents that infest tropical
America. In the twinkling of an eye
Que of those monsters winds himself
round his body, and crushes ont life
and cracks the bones into fragments
at the same moment.

-The National Debit 8

1t is a favorite saying of the Radicals
that Grant is paying of the national
debt. Ask one of these men why
Grant should be lre-elected and they
are readysto meet you with: &c Grant
is reducing the nagiohai debt and
therefore should be retained IN the
Presidential seat.n OF acoNrse every
body knews that Grant has never paid
a dollar of the national debt. But
this assertion that the debt is being
| liquidatcd is a stupendous lie, and the
men who make 1t know that they are
telling that mhich is not true, We
like toeonfront these men with figures
and to do it often, The facts are the
the very reverse of what they state
them. Ii we turn to the finance re-
port of 1871, submitted to Congress
by Mr.. Boutwell,, we find that the
Government debt reached its MAXI
mum. it's highest figure, July 1, 1866,
when it was, ding to that report,
$2,773, 236, 1853, In the same report
we are told that there had been re-
ceived into the treasury since the war
closed--all of which time the Repub-
lican party has been in power-the
enormous sum of $1,000. .993, ,387.O6,
which is $266. Isl. .213, 80 more than the
whole national debt amounted to July
l, 1865. We ask any sensible, man, in
view of this showing, what, is, the
sense of the Radicals continually
harping on the string that Grant. is
reducing the national debt." The
whole OF them ought to be indicted
for false pretenses. SOL n99W19d sos
Il Then, again, there is another little
sum that has been put into the account
namely: by their own showing they
have sold S8,280,0O3,l3 worth of arms.
to France, which has never been ac-
counted for iu ANY of the reports. It
is also shawn by the Navy Register
that since the close of the war, the
Government has sold five hundred
and six vessels. What has become
of the money! We ask in all serious
ness What right have the Radicals to
say that they have decreased The debt
since the war $4O4,7l6,57 ,575,l5, when
the people have paid into the treasury
nearly seven times as much, namely
$1,000, ,993, ,3S7, ,0S? Tell us what has
become of the S8,280, ,O93, Is reeiyed
of France, and the five hnndred and
six vessels sold from the navye Isit
