THE SALARY STEAL.-The New York NG-
tion one of the odestand most Independent Re-
publican journals in the United States, express
ses itself on the subject of the salary steal,
hitting right and left the men who followed the
"Butlerites" in this spoilation of the Treasury.
1t says:
Nothing, we think, which any Congress has
done for many years has excited as much pub.
lie indignation as the vote of the back pay
to themselves by the gentlemen of the And.
who have just gone home. The obscurlty OF
most of them will of course be sufficient
shield hereafter, and will enable them to enjoy
the money in peace. But the otfense differs
little. if at all, from that of president of
bank who should raise his own salary In the tn,
middle of the year, pay himself out of the till,
and then resign, and set the directors at def
ance. In fact, it is worse, because bank
president would know that he might be reached
by the law, while Congressman know they are
safe against the only pursuit which for many
of them has any terror-that of criminal JUS
tice. One of the most striking results OF the
caucus system is that it has given us a class of
"statesmen" on whom the opinion of the decent
and moral elements of American society has
absolutely no influence, and who revel in an
unprecedented callousness. 1t is just possible,
however, that good many, if not all, of the
minority who voted against the bill considers
that they have thus discharged their oblga,
tions to virtue and that they may now pocket
the money along with the Butterflies. We
trust constituencies will do all in their power
to dissipate this delusion, and that the neigh
bors of returned Legislators will make them
understand that it is as disgraceful to take the
money as to vote for it. Congress is not with
out historical precedent for its performance, to
be sure; but, on the other hand, neither are
the people without historical precedent for
their disgust and their camor, and their pun
ishmcnt Of this kind of legislation.

ASTRONOMY RUN MAD.-Dr. Trail, of Phil

ASTRONOMY Run MAD.-Dr. Trail, of Phil
adephia, has made very unpleasant discove-
~. In about seven years Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune will approach nearer the
earth than they have been in eighteen hundred
years, and the result will be pestilence. When
Congress has the manliness to make astronomy
an indctable offense, then we shall have relief
from these things, but not before. 1t was nota
long while since that some one predicted that
the earth would be swamped with deluge,
and you couldn't borrow an umbrella or pair
of rubbers from any one. The next idiot said
a comet would strike and demolish the earth in
a twinkling. Whereupon, many excellent peo-
ple tied their beds and carpets about their prem
ises, and put cotton in their ears, and sat down
on the cellar bottom in dreadful expectation of
the shock. Hardly had this alarm passed off
when another astronomer came around to tell
the people that Niagara Falls would be dry in
less than nineteen thousand years, and nothing
would do but that people should hurry out
there for q farewell look, and in less then twen-
ty-four hours there wasn't people enough in
Danbury to entertain japanese hermit. And
now here is Trail with four planets and no
vaccine matter All the tobacco chewers are
to be killed by these planets, and young ladies
who wear stays, and men who bet on the wrong
horse. If we understand the old scoundrel
correctly, the only people saved are those who
drink lemonade out of dipper and play CO.
penhagen with their aunts.-Danbury Netcs.

THAT was beautiful idea in the mind of
a little girl who on beholding a rosebush, on
the topmost stem of which a rose was fading.
whilst below and around it three beautiful
crimson buds were just unfolding their charms,
at once and earnestly exclaimed to her brother:
"See, William, these little buds have awakened
in time to kiss their mother before she die"
A school boy being asked by his teacher
how he should fog him, replied: "lf you

The Old Coat Of Gray.
BY BLoNDINE.

1t lies there alone; it is rusty and faded
With patch on the elbow, a hole in the side
But we think of the brave boy who wore it,
and ever
prihe.
A history clings to it; over and over,
We see proud youth hurried off to the fray;
With his form like the oak, and his eye like tho
How gallant he rode in the ranks of "the
Grayr'
1t is rough it is worn, it is tattered in places,
But love it the more for the story it bears
A story of courage in struggle with sorrows,
And heart that bore bravely its burden Of
cares.
1t is ragged and rusty, but ah! it was shining
In the silkiest sheen when he wore it away,
And his smile was as bright as the glad sum-
mer morning,
When he sprang to his place in the ranks of
''the Gray"
There's rip in the sleeve, and the collar is tar
nished,
The buttons all gone with their glitter and
gold;
'Tis thing Of the past, and we reverently lay it
Away with the treasures and relics Of old;
AS the gifts of a love, solemn, sweet and un-
spoken,
Are cherished as leaves from long vanished
We will d@E Keep the old jacket for sake of the
loved one
Who rode in the van in the ranks of 'the
Gray"
Shot through with bullet-right here in the
shoulder,
And down there the pocket is splintered and
soiled,
All /! more-see, the lining is stained and dis
coloredl
Yes, blood-drops the texture have stiffened
and spoiled.
It came when he rode at the head of the column,
Charging down in the battle one deadliest day,
When sqadrons offoemen were broken asunder,
And Victory rode with the ranks of ''the
Gray"
Its mem'ry is sweetness and sorrow COM
mingled,
To me jta it is preciOus-nore precious than
In the rent and the shot-holes volume is
written,
In the stains on the lining is agony told.
That was ten years ago, when, in life's sunny
morning,
He rode with his comrades down into the
And the old coat he wore, and the good sword
Were all that came back from the ranks of
''the Gray"
And it lies there alone; will reverence it ever,
The patch in the elbow, the hole in the side,
For gallanter heart never breathed than the
loved one
Who wore it in honor and soldierly pride.
Let me brush of the dust from its tatters and
tarnish,
Let me fold it up closely and lay 1t away
1t is all that is left of the loved and the lost one
Who fought for the Right in the ranks Of
''the Gray

KIND WORDS FOR THE SOUTH.-From an
editorial in the New York Herald, we extract
the following:
"Still, there is another and more cheering
side to the picture. The cotton crop of 1872
has proved larger than was expected The TO-
tai receipts at all the ports since the crop began
to come in last September, amount to 3,011 ,056
bales, an increase over last year of 583, 600
bales What amount remains yet to come to
market, we are not informed Supposing the
total should be 3.500000 bales the value would
be at least $3.50 900, 900. The export has reach
ed 1,S50,O29 bales, and it is fair to presume
it will reach over 100000 bales That would
make the value of this article of export alone
nearly $3.50 0000,000 Of course, some of these
figures are only approximate, but are near
enough to show generally the amount, value
and movement of the crop of 1872 We can
afford, then, to import largely with such export
resources. And here it may be we'll to call at
tention to this great and valuable production
of the South, under the peculiar and depressing
circumstances in which that section of our
country has been involved. 1t shows that the
South has risen from the most terrible war de-
struction that ever fell upon people, as if by
magic. Though utterly ruined for the time,
impoverished almost beyond precedent, with
no money or credit, 81 capital of $4,000, 100000
or S., 900, 0,OOO,O 600 swept away in two or three
years, the whole system of labor revolutionized
and disorganized, oppressed by political and
social disabilities resulting from the war, and
then fearfully plundered by a horde of carpet
bag strangers who had no abiding interest in
the South, the Southerners have accomplished
what would have seemed incredible, and what
hardly any other people could have accom-
plished. And it is fair to say that much of this
IS due to the good conduct and labor of the
emancipated negroes as we'll as to the industry,
tact and forbearance of the native whites. The
basis of this wonderful resuscitation, however,
is in the rich soil and genial climate of the
Southern States. So with regard to tobacco
and other products of the South, which con-
tribute largely both in helping to pay for our
imports and to promote internal trade.

The PLEASURES OF HANGING AND DROWN
1Ne.-A lady writer in the New York Times
thus dscourses of the pleasures of drowning
and hanging:
Hanging, like drowning, after the first disa-
greeable stangling feeling, is delightful thing
no doubt. There was an old monk, of the Or
der Of ST. Augustine who used to regularly re-
tire to his cell and hang himself up on a peg
by his neck, attended by brother monk whose
duty it was to count SO many and to cut him
down. The sensation was so delicious, the
magnificent visions presented themselves to his
half-choked soul were so ecstatic, that he could
no more forego the intoxication of hanging
than can the opium eater intermit his dose.
Then, like the effects of hasheesh the result of
hanging is never twice alike. The gorgeous
delirium ever takes new shapes of delight. And
so the monk went on, till his attendant got
careless, and one day didn't cut him down soon
enough, and there was an end of it.
The writer of this k,loaos that drowning is all
its said to be, for she once took header out of
a boat after an escaping trout, into the waters
of Lake Chautegay. After the first gulp of
stranging water, with her unmistakable nose
in the sand, with gorgeous, floating dreams
singing like far-of music through her brain,
tranquil, supremely content, conscious of the
stir in the water made by those who dove three
times after her, she was unutterably happy.
The shadow Of the moving boat above darkened
the shinnssands around, and it was actual in
reference with happiness when cropping hand
unanchored your correspondent from blissful
repose and shot her up to the sunlight. With
the first touch of air came insensbility, and
with return of consciousness came misery
and agony indescrbabe. But the actual drown
ing was nice, and so believe hanging may be
also, although it has some unpleasant features.

: When hen lays an egg she cackles.

When hen lays an egg she cackles. 1t
is hen nature. When a man gets in new
stock of goods, it is human for him to crow
over it. When the hen cackles, people know
that she has laid in some fresh stock, and feels
rather proud of it. When the merchant opens
his new styles, and blows his trumpet in the
newspapers, people know that he has something
ON hand worth advertising. Blow your own
trumpet once in while. 1t won't hurt you or
the trumpet either.

-"Papa, are you growing still?" "No.
dear, what makes you think so?" Because the

How TO SLEEP.-With many tue nnbl-
ity to sleep, as growing habit, is the first
step toward certain madness in every dis
case it is an omen of i'll. Hence 10 cult
vate sound sleep, do not sleep a moment in
the day time. Go to bed at regular hour
and never take n second nap after wax
ing of yourself in the morning. Take
nothing after dinner but a piece of bread
and a cup of hot diink-not China tea, as
il makes many wakerul. Never go to bed
with cold feet. Read nothing after supper,
listen TO nothing of n very exciting charuc-
ter; avoid carefully every domestic un-
pleasantness, as to child, servant, husband
or wife. Let no angry word lie spoken or
thought harbored for single instant after
tea time or sleep may not come before the
morning light. Grown persons require
about seven hours sleep in summer, and
eight in winter. Few, indeed, except in
valids, will fail to sleep who 20 TO bed at Il
regular hour on Il light supper, in large
room, and clean, comfortable bed, if there
is no sleeping in the day time, and not
more than seven hours in any twenty-four
are passed in bed. One weeks faithful tri-
al i'll prove this. Children, and all per-
sons at school, should take ali the sleep
they can get, and should never be walked
up in the morning after having gone to bed
at regular early hour. Every humane
parent will make il - religious duty TO ar
range that every child shall 90 10 bed in
an aiiectionate, loving and CAD spirit. If
wakeful during the night get ur draw ON
the stockings, throw off the bed co;er to
mir it, walk the floor in your nilht-2own,
with the mouth closed, all the while rub
bling the skin briskly with both hands, un
til cooled off and Il little tired. Except
from August first to October first, in fever
and ague localities, chamber window
should lie open two OF three inches in
length.-IIc,od Qf HcdHh.

A GOOD RECIPE.-l have Il recipe to Of
fer. 1t is a compound, being composed of
several ingredients. 1t is an excellent
remedy, and, when properly applied, has
an amazing good effect upon farmers boys,
keeping them at home in the evenings
when they ought to be there, and making
them love home better than any other
place on earth. Here are the ingredients:
|. Treat them rs partners with you.
Give them TO understand that they are in
terested IN the success of the farming uper-
atoms as much ms You are yourself.
2. Converse freely with them. Get their
opinions and give thcm yours. Ii at all
prudent, make use OF their plans, and
when you think your own best explain, to
them why you do not adopt theirs. Don't
keep them altogether in the dark with ref
erence to your plans for the future
3. Don't require them TO stay at home
in the evening all the time. when there
is any meeting or entertainment from
which they might receive benefit, be sure
to let them go.
4. Provide them with plenty of good
books aud papers; especially referring TO
agriculture. Let them be well posted in
their own misunderstanding.
5. Never scold them because they dom do
their work or attend to the business Of the
farm as well as you do. Encourage them.
@. Give them a holiday now and then.
They look for it and they need it and il
will be better for you and them to let them
have ii.
Otbor inprelients NAV with safefv no adj
ded, but the above are few of infinite inn
portance, and should never be omitted.
Farmers, try my recipe; II acts like n
charm. -MOptredt Witness.

Az ITEM For Mr.. DARMIN.-A II

AN ITEM FOR Mr.. DARwIN.-A remark
able discovery has recently been made by
Prof. o. C. Marsh in the upper cretaceous
shale of Kansas, from which II appears that
the leng suspected Ink between birds and
reptiles has come to light. The skeleton
of bird was first found, which was about
the size of pigeon, and had the remarka-
BILE characteristic of bird skeleton with
biconcave vertabr@, belonging only to rep
tiles. On subsequently removing the sur
rounding shale, the skull and parts of both
jaws were brought to light, bearing un-
doubted reptilian pecularities, with other
parts of the skeleton entirely avian in type.
That all the parts belonged TO the same in
dlvidual is UNREASONABLE, thus furnish
ing the Darwinians another proof OF their
theory. 1t was an aquatic bird, carnivor-
Gus, and 1t is the only one, thus far found,
exhibiting these double characters Of bird
and reptile.
