voice in behalf of thorough and impair
tial inquiry in order to find the real causes
of disorder in the South? The greatest
organ OF your party proclaims Governor
Scott himself forger Of more than six
millions of bonds. He is said to be inves-
ting large sums at Napoleon, Ohio, where
his home in reality is, and where he ex-
poets to retire when he is fully gorged
with plunder. He went to South Carroll
ma for pilage and .rapine, ard will soon re-
turn with his spoils. Your policy emana-
ting from here made him Governor. The
virtue and talent of the State were pro-
scribed by your laws Abiding to the
condition of South Carolina few weeks
since, one Of her citizens (Senator Sawyer)
in the other branch of Congress used the
following strong language:
1t is due to the circumstance that this
large number of men in the Southern
States were shut.out from the possibility
of holding State and Federal Offices that
we have had so many abuses in the local
government of those States 1t is due to
that circumstance that in the State which
| have the honor in part to represent on
this floor we have to-day State Govern
ment which is a disgrace to civilization.
It is due to those disabilities, and to those
disabilities only, that we hadsnot an am
pie field from which to select honest, ca
pable men for our local public offices, men
who would have made faithful officers,
and who would have \been in complete
harmony with the National 'Administra-
tion and the great Republican party on
questions of public policy. Instead of
that what do we see to-day?- A specta-
Gle alike disgraceful to the Republican
party, under whose banner and in whose
name gross abuses have been perpetrated,
and to.the'men who have thus stained its
honor and yet Senators desire us to con-
tinue system which has been fruitful of
such results"
This was spoken by.a leader of the Re-
publican party, and call upon those who
may regard my statements as overdrawn
to carefully consider and weigh his testi-
mony; He deliberately pronounces the
Republican State Government of South
Carolina "a disgrace to tocivilization y There
she stands, the result of your own handi-
work, bankrupt in money, ready to plunge
into the dismal gulf of Reputation, ruin
ed in credit, her bonds hawkedin the mar
kets for sale in vain at ten cents on the
dollar, her prosperity blighted at home
and abroad; without peace, happiness, or
hope; and all her liberties stolen as well
as her material substances. There she
stands, with her'skeleton frame and with
cred death's-head, admonishing all the
world of the loathsome consequences Of
government fashioned in. hate and fanati-
cism, and founded upon the ignorant and
the vicious classes of mankind. Her sins
may have been many and deep. and of the
color Of scarlet, yet they will become as
white as wool IN comparison with those
that have been .committed.against her in
the hour of her helplcssncsc and distress.

The Arn.s scandal in berlin.

The Berlin correspondent of the Bres-
lau Gazette writes that the opponents Of
Bismarck in German politics arc over
joycd because of the Curious debate in
the Senate of the United States concern
ing the sale Of muskets and cartridges
by the American war department to

took place, although he might have caus-

some trouble if-he had then possessed
the information which Senators Sumner
and :sclurz have now laid before the Sell
atc ut Washington. bismarck declares
now that the matter was really no con-
sequence whatever, and his organs here
have published soothing articles OH the
subject.
ellis Majesty the Emperor, however,

does not look at the matter altogether III
the same light as his chancellor, and he
is reported TO have read the Stcnographic
report Of tho proceedings III the AIneri-
can sepatc with mingled feelings Of sur
prise and Indignation. In our liberal
circles opinion is greatly divided on this
subject. There is of course very gen.
cral desire that there should be no dis
turbance of the amicable relations pre-
vailing between the German Empire and
the United States; but, on the other hand,
Bismarck's policy of tacit acquicsence
in transactions bordering very closely
on violations of the first principles oi
neutrality is not altogether approved,
and majority of our prominent liberals
seem to be Of opinion that the cabinet OF
Washington should be promptly called
up IN for an explanation of the aiming
facts brought forward by Mr.. Carl

Live forsomethiug, then, reader; make
every day count something to the world,
because you are in it, with kind feelings,
pleasant words, and noble Offices. Write
your name upon the hearts and memo
riess of your fellow-beings by doing them
all the good you can. Life is short, but
short as it is, you may do glorious work
within its narrow limits. If the sculp-
tors chisel can make impressions on
marble within few hours, which dis
tant ages shall read and admire; if the
man of genius can create work in life
that shall speak the. triumphs of mind q
thousand years hence, then may the true
man, alive to the duties and obligations
of existence, do infinitely more. Work
ing on human hearts and destinies, it is
his perogative to do imperisbable work,
to build within life s fleeting hours, mon
uments that shall last forever. If such
grand possibilities lie within the reach oi
our personal action in the world, how
important, reader, that we live for some
thing every hour Of our existence, and
for something, too, harmonious with the
dignity of our present being, and tho
grandeur of our future destiny.-Rev. F,

But to improve ourselves, and serve
mankind"
But to live for something, involves the
necessity of an intelligent and definite
plan of action. More than splendid dream
ing, or even magnificent resolves, is nee.
essary to success in the objects and am
bitions of life. Men come to the best re-
suits in every department Of effort, only
as they thoughtfully plan, and earnestly
toll in given directions. Those who have

have always, in every age, and among
all people, done so by.employing. a we'll
defined purpose i'll earnest, living action.
The reason that thousands fail in their
work of life, is the want ola specific plan
in laying ont their energies; they work
hard for nothing, because their is no &C
tual result possible to their mode of ac-
ton. The means are not adjusted TO the
end; hence, failure is the inevitable re-
suit.
Live for something definite and prac-
teal. Take hold of things with method
and will and they must yield to you,
and become the ministers of your own
happiness and that of others. Nothing
within the realm of the possible can with
stand the man or woman who is intelli-
gently and deterlninedly bent OH sue
cess. A great action is always preceded
by great purpose. History and daily
life are full of examples to show us that
the measure Of human achievement has
always been proportioned to the amount
of human daring and doing. If not al
ways, yet at least often,

Just snucy enough to be witty,
just dainty enough TO be neat
Just tall enough to he graceful,
Just slight enough for fay,
Just dressy enough TO be tasteful,
Just merry enough TO be gay.
Just tears enough to be tender
just signs enough to be sad,
Tones soft enough to remember,
Your heart thro' their cadence made glad
Just meek enough for submission,
Just bold enough TO be brave,
Just pride enough for ambition
Just Thoughtful enough TO be grave.
A tongue that can talk without harming,
Just mischief enough to tease,
Manners pleasant enough to be charming,
That put you at once at your case,
Disdain to put down presumption,
Sarcasm to answer fool,
Cool contempt enough shown TO assumption
Proper dignity always the rule.
Flights of fair fancy ethereal,
Devotion TO science full paid,

That really good housewives are made.

Useful Hints.

FEboS on THE FINGEE.-Many persons suffer
extremely from felons on The finger These
Affections are not only painful, but frequently
occasion permanent Gripping of the members
affected The following simple prescription is |
recommended as a cure for this distressing all
ment: Take common rock salt, such as is used |
for sailing down pork or beef, and mix with |
spirits of urpentine in equal parts put 1t
on a rag and wrap around the affected part
and as it gets dry, put on more, and in TWEEN
ty-four hours you are cured
REMEDY FOR NERVOUS HEADACHE Take a
dessert spoonful Of common soda, such as is
--sasgi in making bread, and dissolve it thor
oughly in n quart Of cold water. With this
thoroughly shampoo the head for about five
minutes, scratching the skin Of the head and
the back of the neck well with the finger-nails.
Then rinse the head with clean water. This
remedy is for nervous headache, and not for
those Affections of the-hoad arising from de-
ranged stomachs
REMEDY ron PAINFUL WOUNDS Take a pan
or shovel with burning Goals and sprinkle up
on them common brown sugar, and hold the
wounded part in the smoke In few minutes
the pain will be alayed and recovery pro-
ceeds rapidly. In my own case rusty nail
had made bad wound in the bottom Of my
foot. The pain and nervous irritation was
severe. This was all removed by holding it
in the smoke for fifteen minutes, and ! was
able to resume my reading in comfort. We
have often recommended it 10 others with like
results Last week one of my men had fin
ger nail torn ont by pair of ice tongs. 1t
became very painful, as was TO have been ex-
pected Held in sugar smoke for twenty min
utes, the pain ceased, and it promises speedy
recovery Country Gentleman.
BRuIsEs ON FURNITuRE.-Wet the part with
warm water. double a piece of brown paper
four or i've times, soak in the warm water,
and lay on the place; apply on that a warm,
but not hot, Aat-iron till the moisture is eva
porated If the bruise be not gone repeat the
process. After two or three applications the
dent or bruise will be raised to the surface.
II the bruise be small, merely soak it with
warm water, and hold red hot iron near the
surface keeping the surface continually wet,
when the brnlSe VIII soon disappear.
How TO KEEP EGGs Take lump of quick
lime as largeas quart measure; slack it in a
common water-pal dissolve half pint Of
coarse salt and add to it--then fill the pail
with water, let it stand until entirely settled
then pour the clear liquid over the eggs, which
mus, be set on the small end, in jar or tub,
after having been infinitely examined TO see
that none are cracked. Eggs put up in this
way last May are perfectly fresh now.
The eggs can be held in place by plate or
bit of slate laid on them before pouring on the
lime water.
