TEE BLOW At THE COUNTRY PRESS

here was 10 greater outrage ever con-
mitted by Congress than which defeated
the free exchange of newspapers through
the mails. 1t was done as piece of
revenge because the press almost un-
auimously advocated the repeal Of the
franking privilege, which so incensed
Congressman that they retaiiated by re-
pealing the free exchange Of newspapers
through the mails. The newspapers of
the large cities, which enjoy the aGyan-
tages OF immense patronage, encouraged
this repeal, hoping thereby to break down
country newspapers, and thus give them
IA wider field Of monopoly. Itwas only
rare exceptions where this was not done.
The Philadelphia Press from the first
opposed the repeal, and did all in its
power to prevent the outrage, but it was
unavailng. Now let the country press
unite, aad there is no doubt The next
Congress will do what is right and proper
on this subject. 1t will only require
plain statement to re establish the free
exchange of newspapers through the
mails.
We endorse this. The law giving couu-
try newspapers circulation, free of postage
in the county where printed, was repealed
out of. pure revenge, bat our virtuous
congressman did not do this uatil they
had passed the Salary Grab bill which
puts $1,000 each into their own pockets.
While stealing this large sum they
begrudge country Editors their free
exchange, and tax our farmers and
mechanics twenty cents year for their
home newspapers. If the country press
will unite rot to support any map for
Congress, iu the future, unless he pledges
himself to vote 10 restore the free news
paper law, it Will no doubt have the
desired cGect.-DoyleSto'ea Democrat.

A Field Night in the House of Com
mons.

mons.
The duke Of Camb idge generally
comes down to the House Of Commons
on nights of great debate. He sits in
the center Of the front gallery, opposite
the treasury bench, and looks down on
Mr.. Gladstone with 8 face that does not
bespeak unbounded trust. The p emier
IS to the commsnder-in-chief evidently
" dangerous person. ''-one, perhaps,
whom ne would like to dispose Of by
the summary process Of court-martial.
Not many years ago, when Mr. Disraeh
was attacking Mr.. Gladstone, and ac-
cusing him of revolutionary designs,
the duke so far forgot himself as TO
join the shout of applause which the
conservative raised. He listed, to-
night, with an air of dissent. But he
is subject to the civil power, and Mr..
Gladstone has already caused him to
swallow some disRgreeable bolnses. He
detested the abolition Of the purchase
OF commissions IN the army, but he had
to choose between accepting it and ceas-
ing to command the national forces.
His face IS red and burly. and the
fringes Of white hair recall the photo
graphs of the emperor of Germany. A
cholerie nature, ,-one given to strong
oaths, and careless of punctillo, the
duke, nevertheless, is not unpopular.
BE never stems the viii of the country,
and. with the fund of snobbery there is
in the British people, it is so easy for
royal duke to keep we'll in the public
eye. On the dukes left are batch OF
peers, most of them cabinet ministers,
drawn to othe Commons by the magic
of Mr. Gladstone's eloquenee; and, de-
spite the revolution in the law which
the new lord chancellor is detailing in
their own chamber, Earl Granville is q
delightful listener. He is so polite
man that his very attitude pays you
compliment. BE has way of throw
ing his arms over front rail, and rest
ing his chin upon the top, which is real
ly iattering sight to the gentleman
who is speaking. Bishop WilbCvforce

fame-sits between the earl ard the
duke of Argyll. The bishop has lest
some of that smoothness of face which
we associate with him. Either age or
care has given him a sterner look. The
duke of Argyll, with his bright-red hair
carefully brushed from his forehead, is
still the intellectual young man Of
the Mechanics institute. He is IN even-
ing dress, and wears n huge white neck
tie,-so large a one that it catches your
attention. Prince Christian, who is on
the dukes right hand. is nonenity in
English affairs. He married one of the
queens daughters, and he lives here
but he rarely quits the family circle.
Behind the gallery in which these dis
tinguished visitors are sitting, are long
rows of strangers. of Milesian origin
the Irish bishop and priest being oon-
spicuous among them. The side gall
leries are occupied by members, aud no
bench below is unfiled.-Es.

SOMEWHERE.

Somewhere await the treasures we have strewn,
Which idle hands and feet have rudely shattered
And tenderest love shall gather as its
The pearls thus scattered.
Somewhere the tears Of broken-hearted trust
OF patient sacrifice and self-submission,
Shall form the rainbow promise Of just
And fun fruitiOn.
Somewhere the narrow stepping-stone we tread
The steep and terrible ascent Of duty
Shall change to velvet terraces o'erspread
With emerald beauty.
Somewhere the doubtful seed that we have HOWn
Shall wen dispose a cold, uncertain rootage,
And virdicate the hope we disOwn
By fairest fruitage.
Somewhere, our human effort of to-day,
The faltering outcome Of pure intention.
Eternally shall hold as brave essay
And true ascension.
o universal soul The finite range
OF earth and time may dwarf our high endeavor,
Yet life is victory, through the evolving change
OF thy forever.

Do Plants Exhale carbonic Acid.

Plants have commonly been thought
to differ from animals in the gases which
they seerete; the animals parting with
carbonic acid, while the plant gave out
oxygen. DR.. J. G. Draper, of New
York, however, maintains that all living
things, whether animal or plant, absorb
oxygen and give out carbonic acid; and
that the life of the plant is enc eontinu-
GUS drinking in of oxygen gas. Having
grown plants similarly nourished in the
dark and in sunlight, he found that all
the same parts were produced in both
cases almosta at the same time, and that
the slightly slower evolution of the
series grown in the dark is marked by a
slightly smaller weight, while the same
plant measured by night and by day
grows slightly faster in darkness than
in sunlight The roots of plants grown
under both circumstances throw out the
same kind of excrement Therefore, as
the evolution and weight and root-secre-
ton agree. he urges that the carbOnic
acid has been in both cases thrown off
] as Il GoQSGtt AeuS6 VI BEONlus anu HIS
never been absorbed by the roots and
then given out as vapor from the leaves.
In conferve and fungi, which, like
seedlings grown in the dark, never give
out oxygen, he appears to think that the
carbonie acid they seem to give of is
really only the carbon of the air left
around the plant as consequence Of
| the rapidity with which the oxygen is
/ absorbed and when plants are produ-
| cling their flowers and seeds, the rate at
which they seem to part with csxbonie
acid Is greater than with many animals
at any time. Oxygen Is given on only
from the green parts of plants and trees
the leaves, twigs, and young shoots ;
and only when the sunlight is falling on
the leaves. DR.. Diapers argument
might have been made even more con-
vincing If he had availed himself of
Boussingault's experiments, which show
ed that ca-bonic acid is decomposed day
and night, by green leaves, in the ratio
of one part by night, to about sixteez
parts by day.

DIscoETENT.


There is no day SO dark
But through the murk some ray Of hope may stesl
Some blessed touch from Heaven that we might fee
If We bat chose TO marx.
We shut the portals fast,
and turn the key and let no sunshine in,
Yet to the worst despair that comes through sin
Gods light shall reach st last.
We slight our daily joy,
Make much OF our vexEtiOns, thickly set
Our path with th0rns Of discomfort, and fret
At our fine goldas alley.
Tin bounteous Heaven might troWn
At such ingrstitude, and, turning, lay
On our i'm patience burdens that would weigh
Our aching shoulders down.
We shed too nisny tears,
And sigh too sore, and yield up to woe,
AS il God had not planned the way to 60,
And counted out our years.
Can we not be content,
And lift our heads from the ignohie dust
OF these complaining lives, and wait with trust,
Fulfilling Heavens intent9
Must ge have wealth and power,
Appealing to indifferent hearts and cold
With delicate touch, striving to reach and hold
Oar hidden consciousness.
And see how everywhere
Love comforts, strengthens, helps and saves rs

What opportunities Of good befan
To make life sweet and fair
