The Sage of Auburn has unbosomed himself
to HERALD reporter on the engrossing subject
of the Washington Treaty, in which he may
be supposed to take special interest, and
with which no citizen Of the great republic
is more conversant. His outspoken advocacy
of the adoption Of the English supplemental
rule and tame submission to national disgrace
will be a subject Of surprise and regret to his
many friends and admirers. Yet it is not in the
slightest degree singular that MI. Seward should
be DESTROYS for the success of treaty almost
identical with the Johnson Clarendon one that
met with deserved death at the hands Of the
Senate. His pet idea during his last days in
Office was the settlement of the Alabama
claims, 50 that he might remove from the
minds Of the people the unpleasant reminis-
cences Of those dark days when England
heaped insult and injury upon our struggling
nation. It is not cheerful item in political
record to look back to the time when Secre-
tary of State was obliged to smile and bow and
say pretty things in return for gross injuries.
Therefore Mr.. Seward was anxious to draw the
curtain over such unpleasant remembrances
by some kind of settlement Of the Alabama
claims, and the johnson Clarendon Treaty
was the result. We regret to find that the
memory of the venerable statesman is becoming
slightly impaired. In the interview with our
reporter he states thGt he never heard Of
consequential damages before. He forgets,
doubtless, that when his own pet treaty was
before the Senate and trembling in the balance
Mr.. Reverdy johnson, acting on instructions
from Washington, requested Lord Clarendon
to add to the treaty supplemental article In
structing the Board of Arbitration to take cog
nizance not only Of individual claims Of Ameri-
can citizens against English, but also Of
national claims, or what we now call conse-
quential damages. Lord Clarendon refused
this demand, and the fate of the treaty was
sealed. Since his retirement from political
life Mr.. Seward is inclined to enjoy his oti,an
cum dig,itte, and to forget the stirring scenes
through which he passed. But the American
nation is not prepared to forget the outrages
perpetrated by treacherous government when
it was not in position to resent them, nor to
stoop to the depth of humiliation in which the
English supplemental rule may be found.

SPAIN AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIc. The
cable dispatches inform us that considerable
ill feeling has been caused in gov
eminent circles in Spain by the action of the
French authorities iii relation to the
Carlist insurgents. We are not in
formed what is tire cause Of misunder-
standing, but there is little doubt it is due to
the facility with which the insurgents find
refuge from their pursuers However, the
French are so completely in the right that we
do not think anything very serious will come
from it. 1t is evident that the Spanish royal
lists see with alarm the establishment of a re-
public on their border, and would be glad to
see it Inundated and overthrown. With the
mass of the Spanish people it is different, and
there can be no doubt of their sympathy with
the present government Of France. But this
is another reason why Amadeus would greatly
wish to see the end of the republic. There
need be no fear, the republic will survive them

THE RICHMOND Enquirer says it does not

others. They do not care how the thing is set

that our government makes no breakdown in

TEE STRIKES IN THE CITY-The usual
excitement which prevails about this time
every year among the workingmen for either
al advance Of wages or reduction of work.
ing hours Is now upon us. Yesterday the
bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters, cabinet
makers, upholstcrers and wood carvers made
o strike for the eight hour system. The
announcement will cause very little surprise,
from the fact that for years back the subject of
eight hours has been persistently agitated by
the worldngmen in their unions and from the
platforms of their public meetings The eight
hour system is already enjoyed by few of the
trades, and it is believed by many to work
well From indications the present strike
will be bitter one on both sides, the masters
feeling loath to yield two hours from each
working day, and the workingmen as strongly
determined to have the short day.

Hence these preliminary slsirmishes in the
South have an important bearing upon the
issues to be decided at Baltimore in July next.

M. GAMBErrA AND THE FUTURE OF France
Gambetta has recently made most significant
utterance. The occasion called it forth and
gave 1t point. A deputation of Alsatians, dis
satisfied with the new state of things and not
having any special affection for their German
masters, had waited upon him. After having
heard their story, he gave his answer
France" he said, 'must not seek revenge"
Patience and tenacity," he added, "are the
watchwords Of the future; France will OBJ
tain satisfaction without resorting to the
sword. We do not vouch for Gambetta' $ sin
certify. But we do know that he is winning
golden opinions among all ranks and classes of
the French people we also know that he is o
prospective candidate for the Presidency OF
the French republic; and, with these facts in
view, it must be admitted that he is playing
biz cards well

Do you use syrups or molasseseseseses
Have you got colds, asthma, coughs, pain
in the breast, wheeziness, and all that
sort of thing9 If you use the first, and
have the second, listen here, while we a
tale unfold. At Madison, Indiana, there
is firm of scoundrels who make three
fourths of all the syrups used in this
country. They make all grades. and by
whatever name known, from "Silver
Crops all the way down to plantation
molasses" of starch and sulphuric
acid, with some other compounds. This
horrible life-destroying stuff is manutac-
tured in immense quantities and shipped
to Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis, New
York, and all the great centres Of. grocery
supplies, and thus ultimately finds its
way into every neighborhood. The writer
of this has found the following simple test
sure and unfailing. BY it every house
keeper can satisfy himself of the purity
or fraud of the molasses or syrups on
which his children delight to feed. Take
a half cup of tea, made from green or
leaf, puta tablespoonful of the
molasses or syrup into the tea; mix well.
If pure, the molasses will give the tea
light-green hue; if impure, or sulphuric
trash, the tea will instantly become blu
ish black, something near the color of
blush writing fluid. Everybody ought
TO know this. To feed the little one on
sulphuric acid is to invite all sorts of mis-
fortunes into your homes. Lexington
has this sulphuric molasses for sale. We
have tested il. Whether or not there is
any pure in the city, we are unable to
say, but if not, we hope our grocer will
see to it that they get no more of this
poisonous stuff.-Cdueassidn.

Nothing can be more unphilosophical
than many Of the ideas entertained Of
success in this life. A lad has spent the
day in playing marbles, and finds at night
that he has pocket full. lie counts the
day a success. On the MORROW he loses
them al, and at night he sadly counts
the day a failure. We are ready to smile
ut his ideal Of succcss, and count il false,
for two reasons; First, because the gain
of a pocketfull Of marble has too small a
financial a value, but second, and chiefly,
because il demands too little Of the boy
to play it.
We, however, tolerate children III play
ing marbles because they are children,
but We would feel shocked at seeing men
playing marbles as being a game too far
below their capabilities. 1t is for this
reason that thoughtful men have looked
with regret upon the Importance which
in the last few years has been attached to
baseball, which has been dignifed as the
National Came Every city has had
its club of amateur players, and these
clubs have male professional tours over
the couNtry to display their skill, and
when they have returned to their patron
city, having hadsa successful tour, they
have been awarded almost as great tri-
umphal honors as Rome use to give to
her most successful armies. 1t has been
objected to this game that it is attended
with too much expense, that it is too vio-
lent to answer as a recreation, that it fos-
tiers betting, etc, but really the great
objection lies back of all these, and this
is it 1t takes too little of a man to play
it. 1t is almost wholly game of agility,
and the most agile players are surpassed
in the quality by the british ape. We
repeat it takes too little Of a man to play,
it. So, too, when two men engage in a
pugilistic contest, pounding and bruising
each other almost out Of human shape,
the nation taking note of the contest al
most as they would battle between two
armies, all the disgusting mangling and
bruising could he endured, if it were q
contest in which the utmost capabilitie.
of one man were matched against tn,
capabilities of another. But then this i,
not so. 1t is simply contest betweer
muscle and powers of endurance, con
test in which a stsnid bulldog is superior
! 10 either of them. 1t don'rv2ke enengi
of man to be successful pugilist. l
these lie false ideas of success, what is tn,
true ideal of it? We answer that he i
the most successful man in this life VIII,
converts this world most fully into hi
being physical, mental and moral, ant
he the most unsuccessful man who doe
this the least.

FmIAL PIErY.-Ancient history re-
cords beautiful incident, illustrating
the power and unselfshness of flial love.
In the seige of a certain city, two young
men within its walls. had rendered great
service to the general, through which it
finally fell into his hands. In return, he
ordered their lives TO be spared, and
gave them permission to take with them
out ofthe city rs much treasure US they
could carry. They accordingly both aP-
peared at the gate, one carrying his
mother on his back, aud the other his
father; showing by the act how much
more precious they were in their eyes than
any amount of jewels or gold.

In recent lecture in London by Dr.
William b. Carpenter on Epidemic de
lusions, with special reference to spiritu-
alism, which has taken zach hold on mil
lions of persons in America and in Eng
land; he had paid much attention to
this subject during tke last twenty years,
and had known many persons of very
great ability and great discrimination
believe in it. He accounted for this be-
lief by the previous possession of their
minds by this dominant idea-the expec-
tation they have been led to form, either
by their own earnest desire for communi-
cation with the dead, or by contagious
influence to which some minds are especi-
ally subject. To him the notion that de
parted spirits could come and lift table
in the air, was most strongly repugnant
to common sense. Perhaps he might be
told he has no faith. He had faith un-
limited in the law of gravitation, and
therefore he could not believe grayitation
was suspended to.allow Mr., Home to ny
in the air. DIR. Carpenter then noticed
many Investigations that had been made,
and which had exposed the irickery of
the performances.

Critical Periods Of Human Life,

From the age of forty to that of sixty
a man who properly. regulates himself
may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strength ofconstitution rem
ders him almost impervious to theattacks
OF disease, and all the functions are in the
highest order. Having gone year or
two past sixty, however, he arrives at a
critical period Of existence; the river of
death flows before him, and he remains at
a standstill. But athwart this river is a
viaduct called "The Turn of Life which
If crossed in safety leads to the valley of
"Old Age" round which the river winds
and then flows beyond without boat or
causeway to effect its passage. The bridge
is, however, constructed Of fragile materi-
ais, and it depends upon how ii is trod-
den whether il bend On break. Gout, apo
plexy and other had characters, are also
in the vicinity to waylay the traveller and
thrust him from the pass; but let him
gird up his loins, and provide himself
with perfect composure. To quote a
metaphor, "the turn of life" has turn
either into prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and power having
reached their utmost expansion, now be-
gin either to close, like flowers at sunset,
or break down at once. One injudicious
stimulant, asingle fatal excitement, may
force it beyond its strength; whilst care
ful supply of props, and the Withdrawal
of all that tends to force plant, will
sustain it in beauty and vigor until night
has nearly set in.
