vsrr,.sa and iss Public Deb.


From the Ritshm0nd Dispstch, Jan. ~
There is nsney enough to meet the
State debt 10 the possession Of the peo'
pie. and everything they have belongs
to the State. Hall the money spent in
whisky in Virginia would pay the neces
sary tax TO redeem her honor. A po-
litical community which denies its
solemn obligation to the State should
cease to be political community and
pass under the yoke OF some power
able to rule them and make them re-
spect law. We cling to our faith in
Virginia. Her people are law abiding
and devoted to their State, and their
ultimate action will, We believe, sustain
our judgment of the Virginia character.
II that Legislature which votes itself
$4,000 or $4,000 for doing nothing
does not pass the necessary measures
to maintain this character uastained,
it will be faithless to its trust and they
will have 10 render an account OF the
gross delinquency.

THs recent death OF the King OF the
Sandwich Islands and the difficulty OF
finding anybody willing to take his
place has suggested this as suitable
time for the annexation OF the islands
70 the United States. The London
1smes is discussing the question and
while willing that the islands shall be
come part Of the United States if the
natives desire it, insists that they shall
be protected in their independence If
they, don't want to come in. There
seems to be more talk about it in Europe
than on this side OF the water.

King Bill.

The king-elect of the Sandwich Islands
is a bachelor. He has been engaged sew
ial times to Victoria Kamamalu, a sister
of the late king. This lady died about two
wears ago. Ii was moro the late kings
desire to have "Prince Bill'' marry his
sister than it was the formers wish To
espOuse Victoria. 1t was hoped that such
an alliance would better perpetuatc the
Kamehameha dynasty. Victoria was anx-
iOus to capture the handsome bachelor.
who was her junior by several years and
did not allow
"Concealment, like the worm j. the mud,
Feed upon her damaged check,
but laid siege to his heart by every art,
device, and blandishment known to the
femaltemind. The gallant prince, though
not rcciprOcating this ardent attachment
was still willing, for state reasons, TO unite
with her in the bonds of matrimOny. The
preparations for the regal nuptials were
all complete on more than one occasion.
liberal trOusseau was imported from
Paris, the date was fixed, the marriage
feast spread, and everybody was ready for
the wedding except the bridegroom.
"Prince Bill" got glOriously drunk on the
day fixed for the alliance. Instead of 60
ing on his honeymoon he went on terri
BILE spree, and was transported to his
home on wheel barrow. to the intense cha
grin of his aflianced and the modification
and disgust OF all the chiefs and mobiles of
the little kingdom. Another day was
fixed for the marriage, with the same dis
astrOus conclusion. 1t is said that after
this the princess became too partial to the
flowing bowl and drowned her vexatiOns
in royal "tanglefoOt," seldom enjoying a
sober period. Mutual friends still, how
ever, endeavOred to bring about the union
of LunalilO and Kamamalu, and might
have succeeded had it been possible to get
either Of them sober enough to stand be-
fore the altar. When "Bill' was sober it
turned out that "Vic'' was drunk, and
when '.Vic' was sober "Bill" was drunk.
Finally the attempt to unite the two
| branches of the family was abandoned,
and the poor princess, so the romance
runs, drank herself to a premature grave.
The young king is therefore yet single,
| and for the exclusive benefit of our unmar-
ried lady readers we will add that he is
said to be particularly ''sweet" on Amer
lean ladies'. Here is a magnificent chance
for some of our bellies TO capture royal
game, and only think Of it--a king at
| that.-Erchdnqe.

Intellectual OvcrwOrk.

As n rule. we should say that
the complaints of OverwOrk are amongst
the most ilmSv of all the excuses SET up
by men for the evils which they bring
upon themselves. Very few people really
work hard: and when they do. 1t genrr-
allv agrees with them. Directly or indl-
rcctly, idcneSS does fifty times as much
mischief. for the best cure for the love OF
excitement is steady application. a vast
amount of good pity Is thrown away Ill tHc
world: and. instead of Solemuly warning
our friends not to do too much. we should
find it simpler to refuse the indirect com
plimcnt TOR which they are maneuvcring,
an advise them To relax their minds by
little strenuous actiyity. When the danger
really exists. it may generally be RENE
died rather by rcdi-tributing the burden
than by diminishing il. y very slight
physical eXcrtion may inlurc man ior
lite. if only he undertakes it in the wr0nr
way. Try to lift thousand pounds
weight by n sudden jerk, and you may
probably break blOodvcsscl. DIVIDE
the weight into ten portions, and lit each
calmly by itself. and the exercise may 90
yoH good Run mile after heavy meal,
and you may be injured for life: walk ten
miles day, and you may materially mi
prove your health. The same principle Is
applicable to intellectual labor. 10 iaS

cause constitutions vary infinitely. ohe
man requires twice rs much sleep rs an
other: one man can do work before break
fast when another finds it answer better
to sit up at night and so On. \ few
practical rules will be learnt 10y practice.
The Lancet, for example. in sensible pa
per on the subject, remarks upon the I'M
portance for men who work at night OF

cess in tobacco and alcoh0l Is constant

and keeps his digestion in order. y little
unparalleled observation OF his own

sense how to keep himself in health !: and,
by a judicious arrangement of his time

much, smoke too much. and do everything

The Plague.

THE unprecedented Senatorial denoue-
ment in Kansas ranks with the most strik-
ing occurrences of history. 1t is novel
and startling disclosure. of such nature
as to exact extraordinary attention from
the people of the United States.
Everywhere crowd the indications of
corruption. Wealth-seeking threatens to
engulph political life. If the highest posts
are purchasable, shut the book of history
with contempt, call the aspirations for
freedom the vapOrings of folly, and dis
miss the notion of popular rule as the
silliest of dreams. Are the highest posts
purchasable: How far is our Govern
ment PlutOcracy? TO what extent has
the Purse in the lobby dominated the
people? The revelations of Tammany,
the vast land grants of Congress, the Cred
it MObilier exposures. the Caldwell case
as the type Oflikc instances, the notorious
buying up of legislators and judges. the
OutpOuring of money to carry popular
elections and Legislative schemes, all il
lustrate the success Of the Purse in sub
jugating the people. Were this work to
go on unchecked, we might sigh for the
return of the heroic age of brute force,
while we surrendered to the mean age OF
greed. But there is measureless latent
puDllc sentlinent. SLOW 10 DC moved 10 eX-
preston, but certain to pass into action
when ills have grown past its endurance.
When or how it will act, and where il
will stop when once fairly reused, no
mortal knows. Something of its temper
CLEANS in the late demonstrations at To-
peka, and gives forth warning which all
concerned will be wise to heel. If the
necessity of integrity becomes incOmpre.
hensible to trusted leaders in high places
they will find the despised infatuatioR OF
honesty suddenly taking the shape Of pop
ular vengeance. The common mind may
lack subtlety, but it has strong hold Of
certain Old-tashioned maxims that have
grown misty to many adroit politicians
and 81 Fd financiers, AMI from these
plain premises infers the necessity of pub
lie fidelity in public men. In this vulgal
perception of the indispensableness o
something like moral principle in the OBJ
tanning of sacred trusts, in the safety 0

Where the Sun does not Set.

A SCENE witnessed by some travellers
in the North Of Norway, from cliff one
thousand feet above the sea, is thus de-
scribed:
"The ocean stretched away in silent
vastncss at our feet; the sound OF waves
scarcely reached our airy lookout; away
in the North the huge old sun swung low
along the horizon, like the slow beat of
the pendulum i'm the tall clock of our
grandfathers' parlOr corner. We all stood
SILENT. looking at our watches. When
both hands came together at twelve, mid
night, the full round orb hung triumph
antly above the waves, bridge Of gold
running due north spanning the water be-
tween us and him. There he shOne i'm ST.
lent majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntarily took off our hats no word
was said. Combine. if you can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw
and the beauties will pale before the gor-
geOus coloring which now Lit up ocean,
heaven and mountain. In half an hour
the sun had swung up perceptibly in his
beat, the cOlors changed to those Of morn
ing, fresh breeze rippled over the flood,
one songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-we had slid another
day."
