SLEEP ON Your CARRs.-Men Of bust.
ness, believe me there is now and then a
profitable venture In doing nothing at all.
In the power to put business aside, and
abiding now and then in perfect quiet,
things sometimes solve th hemselves, when
we give them that advantage, which re.
Iuse to come clear for all our trying. We
all know how by simply taking some per.
plexity into the deepest silence this side
death-a good nights sleep-we can do
better sometimes than II we sat up and
wrought at a desk all night. When Mat
thew Murry, Of Leeds, wanted to see his
way through some perplexity In his
inventions, and all effort was Of no use,
he rested day and night from all noise, and
all effort except tho effort an active man
has TO keep himself quiet; and then the
thing he wanted would steal in and look
at him, aud light on him, and stay as
birds used TO light on the old hermits, no
more afraid oi them than OF tho trees un.
der which they sat. And, mothers, you
may care and toll necessarily for your lit.
tie ones, never resting moment In your
devotion; and then because you never do
be quit, but enter into your very closet
with little irock to mend, you shall nev.
er be quite able 10 take the whole sunlight
and sum Of your motherhood into your
heart. You will be so full Of care about
the bread that cometh down from heaven.
No person in the world needs so much
now AMI then TO be still and open her soul
only to the silence, as an earnest. energet.
ic, whole.hearted mother. This eternal
activity Is almost sure to run at last into
shadows.

State, died on Thursday afternoon at 90
minutes past 8 o'clock, and exactly forty.
five minutes after that event occurred,
the Philadelphia Erening Telegraph was
on the street with an obituary notice oI
over a column in length, which the Press
says was an admirable review ofthe career
Of the deceased statesman. This sketch
was written, put in type, and printed in
less than the forty.tive minutes mentioned,

but We shall win it." That message was
hid from him as early as August, and it
/, known that if anybody could make the
assurance good he could. The whole
s,uniry is indebted to him Ior the cour-
sse, the persistence, the ability with
which he has conducted his large share
Of the campaign which virtually settles
the Presidential election.

CUBAN SLAVES.

A Washington special says that the
complaint of the President that Ameri
can citizens hold slaves in Cuba ant
Porto Rico, in violation of the funda
mental law of the United States, and his
recommendation that Congress provide
stringent legislation to prevent such per
sons from holding that species Of prop
erty, are not likely to be complied with.
A full investigation has been made into
the matter, and it is shown that even il
they are prohibited from holding them it
win not alter the status of the slaves.
1t is thought that the true way to effect
a remedy is for the Government to re-
quire Spain to fulfill in practice its proc
lamation of emancipation in its Yves.

REFRESHING.

This statement by an exchange is re-
freshing: General Palmer, a Radical
custom-house officer, testified before the
investigating committee that is now in
session in New York that he discharged
three important officers from the New

vote as Collector Murphy desired, and
that, too, by order of the Secretary Of
the Treasury. 1t is also proven that
Grants young friend, Leet, charged one
hundred and fifty per cent. more for
storage than the legal rates, and that the
surplus collected in this way was divided
with the Collector or his deputy.

NEW ORLEANS.

| New ORLEANS, January l3. = Las
night a meeting of the people was held
at the Clay statue, on Canal street
The whole of the wide street and the
crossing Of Royal street were filled with
thousands. The enthusiasm was very
great and the people at large are fully
determined to rid the Government oil
Warmoth. Speaker Carter made a
speech of an hours length, fully vindi-
eating the course of the reformers, and
showing that the continuation Of War
moth at the head of the State Govern
ment was totally inconsistent with the
public credit and the prosperity of the
State.
Colonel Carter was followed by the
Hon. j. c. Moncure, member of the
House from Caddo Parish, who spoke
most effectively to the effect that it was
the interest of all parties to get rid of
the common oppressor in order to have
clear field and fair contest upon the
coming issue.
Colonel Jewel, of the New Orleans
Bulletin, made a telling speech to the
same effect. Mr.. Bowman, Mayor of
Shreveport, also made an effective ad-
dress. The speakers said that the Re-
publicans made no concession to the
Democrats, nor gave up one iota Of their
principles. They worked together in
Kidding themselves of common nui-
sance, just as they would join together
to extingu,sh conhagration.
To-day Speaker Carter will take his
seat in the House Of Representatives
and be sustained by the people.
Colonel Carter yesterday surrendered
himself to the First District Court in
answer to the charge embodied in the
verdict Of the ooroners Jury that held
the inquest on Wheyland-
The emissaries of Warmoth, in max
ing the unfounded charge of completely
with the murder against Speaker Carter,
overshot Ehe mark, for in admitting Col.
Carter to bail the Court incidentally de-
cided that he was the only legitimate
Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives of Louisiana.
The triumph Of the re,renchment and
reform party is considered complete.
Hon. j. B. Lewis, State Senator Of
Louisiana, from the Twenty-second Dis
trict, who had gone to Bay St. Louis,
Miss, on private business, was followed
and kidnapped by Wsrmoth's emissaries,
whose purpose was to convey him per-
force to the Senate chamber held in pos
session by Pinchbaek and the Warmoth
satellites. Lewis, however, concluded
to telegraph the situation. Att clock
last night 5000 people we're waiting at
the depot of the Chattanooga road, all
determined on rescuing Lewis.
