GOiira ge.

1t is the clear duty of tho press of
tho country to make n vigorous and
united effort to restore public conf r.
dence. We have had our panic AMI
are reapinS its effects, but there is
no reason why there should be this
long continued fear of undeinable
future calamity. Every one knows
that our crops are abundant-more
80, probably, than they have been
for years, Our coal mines, timber
forests, aud cotton fields have not
suffered from the panic, and the
wants of people everywhere remain
the same that they were two months
ago. Europe must have our grain,
anl our own people must have the
products otour manufactures. There
is no reason that cotton mills and
locomotive works should close their
doors, as though clothing aud loco
motives we're never again to be in
use. If necessary, let prices andwa
ges be adjusted in accordance with
the new conditions brought about by
the panic, aud let mills run on half
time; but do not let us present the
spectacle of people too much fright
ened to do anything but stare one
another idly in the faco, and thus
bring about the distress that little
coolness and courage can avoid.
There is abundance of work for every
one in this country and If the press
will do its part to revive courage and
confidence, so that capitalists and
working-men will resume labor, we
need dread no further financial panic.

4 Adventure with Ga - n d "
Wolves.

Along Tho line Of the Grand Trunk
railway, between the Island Pond
station and the French village of
Conticook. in Canada, distance of
eighteen miles. the country is almost
an mbro.un forest, aud wild animals
are frequently seen beside the road
staring in wonder at the passing
trains, while deer, foxes, lynxos and
wolves ofton bound across the rails
in front of the locomotive. Some
years since the latter animals were
remarkably plenty, sometimes APP
pcaring in droves of dozen or
twenty
Ono evening, lato late in the an
tumn, n young man had occasion 60

nnl had not accomplished more than
half the DISTANCE when he heard II

of the track. denoting the presence
Of sono wild animal. Thinking to
frighten the creature, he threw II

seemed to DO. This was answered
by howl from the wolf. for such IL

hcwls were echoed and re.echDed hg
wolves from all sides, and they soon
began tp close in around tho now
thoroughly frightened man, who
started ON n run, but was soon
obliged to slakcn his pace from sheer
exhaustion.
Although the pack of wolves now
numbered about twenty. they still
for some reason failed t. attack him
but surrounded him at the distance
of few PAGES, cachmoment growing
boldcr and boldcr. In his despero
ton he picked up stones and threw
toward them, mt which they would
scatter for II brief period. and he
would make another effort to escape
them, which, however, would prove
useless, for as soon as he turned ia
run they would again surround him,
and the only method by which he
could keep them at bay was TO keep
up the shower of missiles, shouting
Mt tho top of his voice
But even this resource was fas,

Tho Idea of spinning Jounv.

James Hargreaves dropped upon
his knee and rolled upon the floor
at length. He lay with his face t,h
ward the floor, and made lines and
circles with the end of burnt stick.
He rose and went TO the fire to burn
his stick. Then he sat upona chair
aud placed his head between his
his elbows on his knees, and
gazed intently to the floor. Then he
sprang to his feet, and replied TO
some feeble question of his wife, who
had not risen since the day she gave
birth to little stranger, by loud
assurance that he had it; and, tax
ing her in his sturdy arms in the
blanket, the baby in her arms. he
lifted.her out aud held her over the
black drawing on the floor. These
he explained, and she joined in II
small, hopeful, happy laugh with his
high.toned assurance that she should
never again toll at the spinning
wheel; that he should never again
play and have his loom standing
for want of weft.
''Our fortune is made when this is
made" said he, speaking Of his draw
ing on the floor. ,..w
"What will you call it, asked his
wife.
"Call iti What and we call it af-
ter thyself-Jenny? They called
thee Spinning Jenny 'afore l had
thee, because thou beat every lass in
Stanchill Moor at the wheel. What
if we call it the Spinning ,Iennyf"
The Spinning Jenny could spin
twelve threads, instead of one as by
hand spinning.
The populace broke the machine
to pieces, and poor Hargreaves
heart at the same time.
Richard Arkwright, a common
barber, caught the idea of Har-
greaves, improved upon it, realized

A committee of the y. 8. Senate is
investigating the Kansas bribery case.
VIM. Sidney Clark, formerly men,
Der of Congress from Kansas, and a
competitor of Caldwell in the Senate
rial contest, on Friday last, testified
before the committee. giving straight
forward narrative of the bribery by
which it is alleged Caldwell secured
his election. He gave the specifica-
tions, even to Caldwell's reported pro-
gramme of getting reimbursement of
his election expenses by legislation in
Congress. And this Caldwell is one
of those Radical saints who are al
ways prating about their honesty and
morality, and loud mouthed in de-
nouncing the disloyalty and dishon-
esty of their political opponents.
