No doubt Judge Kelley feels better-decid-
edly better, now that Judge Poland has han
ded over to Treasurer Spinner the Credit Mo-
oller stock, and the dividends thereon. In
the judges confessed Strengthened circumsta-
noes, donation of such an amount TO the
treasury cannot be regarded as anything short
Of exceedingly liberal, particularly SO, If In
eIe Sam has great need of all the funds upon
which his Cashier, Gen Spinner can Law his
hands. But the law of compensation has SET
all things right in this matter. Judge Kelley
handed over his Credit Mebilier stock. with
the accrued dividends, and in return, Uncle
sam has been compelled to disgorge 5000 in
Ihe shape OF increased salary for serYices(e)
rendered during the past two years
NOW, II we were asked our candid opinion
IN regard to the retrOspe ctive salary, we Should
say that for Congress 70 vote it to its own
~ nlemoers ls a transaction as notably dishonest
as anything connected with the Credit MobiI-
ier. IL was, to be sure, no bribery but unless
snere IS difference in point of criminality

actions deserve to be laced in the same cate-

ROYAL 1NCoAIPATIB1LITY.- A report comes
from London that the Marquis of Lorne and
the Princess IOnlse have separated on acco ant
Of incOmpatlbillty of temper-that the PTln-
cess is In religious retirement near Windsor,
and the Marquis has gone abroad No doubt
the circumstance, IL Ii prove true, VIII furnish
a theme for many jest, and the frequent air
ing of the moral that it is rs safe to be beg
gar as a lord particularly when one goes to
marry. But there is no incident of human
life more exacting upon human charity, and
more deserving all that it exacts, than that
which, like this, occasionally puts soGiety tn q
hutter and teammates all the faded gosslpS Of
the town. 1t is not that the Marquis of Iorne
and the Princess Louise alone, of al the world,
possess q secret whose solution might disarm
and blunt the edge of satire, but their
case, If really it is a case in question, is only
prominent among thousands by virtue Of their
position.

corrup.Ion a, Washlngton.

Every man who feels an interest in the govern
ment and who also desires 10 see the people oc-
cupy respectable position in the estimation of
the christian world for morality and virtue must
feel deep sense of shame at the revelations
which have transpred within the last few weeks.
The exposures of the Credit Mobilier scandal
seem not to have daunted the bold men who now
I'LL the most public and responsible stations. In
the Senate Of the United States on Thursday
scene took place that shows how low is the stand
ard ofmen who seek that high position. The effort
now seems only to get into the Senate, no matter
how. If money will purchase tbs vote of leg
islhtors, that course is recognized and sustained
by corrupt party leaders. If legislature can
be secured by cheating at the polls, that is all
rightf the party is only sustained and the Office
holders are allowed to hold over But until
Thursday we had never heard Of a Senator
attempting surreptitiousy to have himself
sworn in as United Statss Senator. In former
days such au attempt would have brought
upon the gentleman making II the contempt
and hdicule Of every man who occupied a
seat in that body. But now 1t is excused and
apologized for, as though dignity and high moral
character were not expected TO be any of the |
characteristics Of the members who are Permit |
ted TO take seats in the highest Legislative body
in the republic.
To be Senator Of the United States now it is /
no longer necessary to be a man of purity of |
purpose and high mental culture Cunning and
brass, backed up BY gold and heavy Income, are
the qualities that win the position occupied and
made honorable and distinctive by such men as
Calhoun, Clay and Clayton. This is deeply to be
regretted. The people who allow such men to
occupy the elevated positions in their govern.
ment are running great risk. Those high posi-
nons should never be bestowed upon men who
are not ht examples for the youth of the country
lnue should always be prerequisite to posi-
lions oil such eminenee, and until VIC arrive at
mat conclusion again and be governed by it in
heir choice of represen tatives, no satisfactory re-
'orm need be expected at Washington.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Sound travels at the rate of l,142
feet per second in the air, 1869 in wa
ter, L 900 in cast iron. LIZ 900 in steel.
$4,000 in glass, and 1857 to $1,000 in
wood.
Mercury freezes at thirty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit, and becomes solid mass,
malleable under the hammer.
The greatest height at which visible
clouds ever existed does not exceed ten
miles.
Air is about SIC times lighter than
common water.
The pressure of the atmosphere upon
every square foot of the earth amounts
to 6,l60 pounds. An ordinary sized
man, supposing his surface to be four
teen square feet, sustains the enormous
pressure of 30,440 pounds.
Heat rarifes air to such an extent
that it can Be made to occupy 5.5l0
times the space 1T did before.
The violence of the expansion of wa
ter when freezing is sufficient to cleave
a globe of copper of such thickness as to
require force of $4,000 pounds to pro-
duce like effect.
During the conversion of ice into wa
ter l4o degrees Of heat are absorbed.
Water when converted into steam. in
creases in bulk $4,000.
One hundred pounds of Dead Sea wa
ter contains 49 lbs. of salt.
The explosive force of close confined
gunpowder is six and half tons to the
square inch.
The greatest artificial cold ever pro-
duced is 9 degrees below Fahrenheit.
Water obstructs one-half of the per-
pendicular rays of the sun in seventeen
feet, thirty -four feet: and less than one
thousandth part reaches the depth Of
200 feet, hence the bottom of deep wa.
ter is in total darkness.
Assuming the temperature of the in.
terror of the earth to increase uniformly
at the rate of one degree to every forty
five feet, at the depth of sixty miles the
degree of heat would be sufficient to fuse
all known substances

The Cuban insurgents are once more
making itlively for the Spaniards. The
latter must certainly begin to regard
the subjectlon of Cuba as one of the
most discouraging undertakings in his
tory. That they will ever give it up
voluntarily is not, however, to be expect
ed. It is an historical fact, with GER
tainly very few exceptions, that Spain
never reconquersher revolving provinces,
but it is equally true that the obstinacy
with which she prosecutes her efforts in
that direction is only equalled by her
invariable ill-success.

1t is recorded that. not many months
ago, there came into the villgae of North
Adams, Mass, widow from the hill
country, with the remains of her hus-
band for burial Coming to the grave,
a slight "caving in caused a delay in
properly placing the coffin in the ground.
So having shed her tears and means,
she left the remains above ground and
went to the minister's house, and was
married to new husband before the
dead body of the old one was covered
