THOSE members of Congress who
voted for back pay, ought to be scout
ed by their constituents. The money
taken from the people, by this bold
and defiant act of robbery, is of less
importance to the welfare of the coun-
try. than the example of dishonesty,
the tendency of which is to encourage
villainy in officialsand to deprave pub

ment in favor of leniency to the treas

Revolutions Never Go Backwar,,

The philosophical theory that the human system
 when weakened by disease, oppressive heat, excess
 slVe labor or any other cause, should be toned and
 nvlgorated instead of being subjected to the action o1 depicting drugs, is gaining ground every day.
 The introduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters twenty years ago gave powerful influence to this common sense idea. As the extraordinary efficacy Of the Great Vegetable Restorative became known, multitudes of debilitated invalids turned with loath1ng from the nauseous and strength-destroy- ing potlons with which it was then the fashion to drench the sick, to this renovating appetizinp vltalizlng preparation, derived from. the finest roots herbs and barks placed by botanical research at the disposal of medical science. Revolutions never go backward. From that time to the present the importance of assisting and reinforcing nature in her struggles with disease, has been more and moro widely and keen1y appreciated by the sick and the suffering. Ia tens of thousands of house. holds Hostetter's Bitters are looked upon as the one thing needful in cases of Dyspepsia General Debility, Constipation, Nervous Weakness, Chills and Fever, Bilious Affections and all conditions of the body and mind that betoken a lack of vital energy. When the quicksilver ranges high, and the soid flesh is resolving itself in'o den under the fevid temper ature, this agreeable tonic is the bes1 possible safeguard against all the disorders generated by sulrry and unwholesome atmos- phere. It prevents and relieves lassitude and languor, and enables the system to endure with impunity an unusual amount Of exertion. Of all lnVl1orat1ng and regulating medicines, 1t is the purest and most wholesome

The Two Captains,

A quarter of a century ago, a New Hampshire town boasted of a couple of field pieces, and a fire engine of limited capacity. Companies were or ganized to take care of each, with Cap tain Smith, the auctioneer, heading the military, and Captain Jones, tinsmith, the civic command. Both men were of marked peculiarities, outspoken and positive, and they were political and personal enemies. One day they had been wrangling before a crowd of vil- lagers, and Jones, getting angry, turn ing to leave, said, with sheer, eff any man wants commission in the ar- tillery, he must call on Captain Smith p This raised laugh at tie expense of the military hero, the ranks of his com pany having been swelled by the enlist ment of very young recruits, but keep ing perfectly cool, he pointed his long right arm at the retreating fremen, and shouted, Everybody wanting promo tion in the squirt-gun company will fol- low Captain Jones p It was long time before "Captain Jones of the Squirt G Gun " heard the last of the en- counter, in which the heavy ordnance won 8 positive victory.

A Wise Precantinn.

The late Governor Geary had policy of $1O,O00 in the PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of Philadelphia, and many of the leading citizens of Pennsylvania hold policies in the same company. THE PENN MUTUAL was or ganized in 1847, and it's career has been one of unexampled prosperity. It has now an accumulated fund of over $4,- 100000. The "PENN" has recenly in- creased it's new business largely. and the agents of the company find it easy to represent, owing to it's strong fnan- cial condition and honorable record of twenty-six years.
 Gentlemen who desire to represent a strong mutual company are requested to address the office, at 921 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, when liberal ar engagements will be made with honest and energetic men.-Cona.

Effects of Tobacco.

The use of tobacco has so much ex-
 tended itself in the present generation
 that we are all obliged to make decis-
 lon for ourselves on the ancient contro-
 versy between its friends andenemies. We
 cannot form reasonable opinion about
 tobacco without bearing in mind that it
 produces, according to circumstances,
 one of two entirely distinct and even | opposite classes of effects. In certain
 states of the body it acts as 8 stimulant,
 In other states as a narcotic. People
 who have dislike to smoking affirm
 that 1t supplies but this assertion, at
 least so far as the temporary conse-
 quences are concereed, is not supported
 by experience. Most of the really bril-
 liant conversations that I have listened
 to have been accompanied by clouds of
 tobacco smoke; and great deal of the
 best literary composition that is pro- duced by contemporary authors is wrought by men who are actually smok- ing while they work. My own experi- ence IS that very moderate smoking acts as pleasant stimulus upon the brain, while 1t produces temporary lassitude ot the musular system, not perceptible Tn times of rest, but an appreciable hin- drance 1n times of muscular exertion. It is better, therefore, for men who feel these effects from tobacco to avoid it when they are in exercise, and to use it only when the body rests, and the mind labors. Pray remember, however, that this is the experience of an exceedinplv modrrote smoker, who has mot yet got himself into the general condition of body which is brought on by a larger indulgence in tobacco. On the other hand, 1t is evident that men engaged in physical labor find muscular stimu- lus In occasional smoking, and not temporary lassitudo. It is probable that the effect varies with it's individual cases, and is never precisely what our own experience lead us to imagine For excessive smokers, it appears to be little more than the tranquillizing of a sort of uneasiness, the continual satis- faction of continual craving. I have never been able to ascertain that mode rate diminished intellectual force but have observed in excessive smokers a decided weakening of the will, and a. preference for talking about work to the effort of actuallabor. The opinions of medical men on this subject are so much at variance that their science only adds to our uncertainty. One doctor tells me that the most moderate smok- ing IS unquestionably injurious, while others affirm that it is innocent. Speak ing simply from self-observation, I find that in my own case tea and coffee are far more perilous than tobacco.-From toe Intellectual LVe, by Pbizi1o Gilbert H0n1ertOn.

Getting Divorces.

The husband can divorce his wife al pleasure and leave her the charge O. maintaining their children, in the fslan6 of Corea. If she prove unfaithful he can put her to death.
 The first wife may be divorced ir Siam, but not sold, as the others may be. She then may claim the first. third and fifth child, and the alternate chil. dren are yielded to the husband.
 When man desires divorce in the Arctic regions, he leaves the house in anger, and dees not return in several days. The wife understands the hint, packs up her clothes and leaves.
 If the parties choose to separate in Cochin China, they break 8 pair of chopstieks or copper coin in the pres ence of witnesses, by which action the union is dissolved. The husband must restore to the wife the property belong ng to her prior to marriage.

Objects of the Order of the Patrons of
 Husbamdry.

ODJOctS or Che Order of the Patrons O1 | Husbandry.
 The question is often asked. what is
 the object of the Patrons of Husbandry,
 and what are they laboring to accom- plish? An organ of the order tells us
 as follows: The order proposes to
 meet dishonesty and injustice, corrup-
 tion and tyranny, rings, cliques, cor
 hers, combinations, monopolies and the
 most outrageous and villainous system
 known to free people.
 Under the operation of this system the rich are every day becoming richer, and the poor are every day becoming poorer.
 The ends it seeks to accomplish by organization are all good, and intended to inure to the benefit of the masses of the people who constitute the wealth. creating power in the land. Railroad, manufacturing and other moneyed monopolies of the country, are absorbing all the power, political as well as financial, which has been converted into an engine of oppression to the la- boring classes. The galling oppression to the agricultural masses, and those immediately dependent upon them, has become too intolerable longer to be borne
 The toiling millions who have made the country what it is, and by the sweat of the brow support their government grand, majestic, powerful :; command Ing obedience at home feared and re- spected abroad-propose, now that for bearance has ceased to be virtue, to meet organization, in manly conflict to meet combination by combination, and check injustice, overturn the power of tyranny, arrest corruption in high places, and substitute system of legis- lation for the people, instead of the present system of class Legislation which has driven so many against whom it dlscriminates to the very threshold of bankruptcy, and to which the greater number of most oppressive wrongs are traceable.
 It proposes, by every conceivable means that can be employed in that di- rection, to elevate the standard of edu- cation among the agricultural masses, and to stimulate the oncoming genera tion of both sexes to aspire to the highest possible attainments and the purest excellence in their respective spheres, and to promote the intellectual, social and moral welfare of it's member ship.

A Shower of Strange Reptfles.

A gentleman from Elk River, in Sher- burne county, Minnesota, tells of a shower of reptiles which fell upon a meadow on the farm of Edward Upham. near that place, on the morning of the Sd inst, during heavy rain and wind storm. The meadow, he says, was thickly strewn with the bodies of the strange creatures, none of which were discovered alive. They are described as about six inches long, having gills and fins like fish, but having also four legs each, about two inches long, and terminating in claws. One person who say them declared that like creatures exist only in the waters of Mexican might have been caught up in a water spout and been carried along bv the wind until they were dropped on MT.

Reduction of Rates.

There is one thing which the press in the large cities of the country has been more uniform and persistent in than in their persistent advocacy of such reduction in the premiums charged for life insurance as would bring that protection from want within the reach of every family. The National Life Insurance Company of the United States of America, B. A. Rollins, Presi- dent, Jay Cooke, Chairman of Finance of any other life Company in the world, has placed it's rates at about three-quarters of those charged by most companies, and wants an agent in every locality.

The Actor MacreadY.

The following anecdote of the great
 tragedlan, Macready, came from a thea.
 tre attache, and is probably as reliable
 as the most of them Macready used
 every agency that God and Nature
 put in his power to make his acting
 tell. He neglected no aid of light and shade no study of position no mi mute attention to detail; indeed, no arti- fee whatever that would heighten effect. The storm scene in Clear" was one of his most powerful representations. An old man, tottering and exhausted, ray Ing at the elements, and defWng thun- der, lightning, and hail, is touching spectacle. To get himself up in style for this scene, he employed a strong and muscular friend to spend few mo- ments in shaking him vigorously, first right and then left, then forward and back, as dog shakes rag, till his hair was every which way, and his general condition so mixed up that, when the muscular man gave him the final shove on the stage, he was the very picture of reeIing, worn-out, and used-up old man, and, as he vented his rage on the stormy forces of nature, the impression was tremendous. One night the stout party was somewhat late, and, fearing that he would be behindhand in his part as shaker" rushed in hurriedly to what he supposed was the right place, and, seeing an elderly-looking man, with long, white hair, peering round as though he expected somebody he went for and shook him powerfully shook him to make up for lost time; shook the daylights out of him." and then flung him headlong on the stage. The pit saw it in moment, and they hooted as only the pit of the old days could hoot. The victim, scared almost to death, slunk back to private life, and the stout party didn't quite take in the situation till the outraged Bear, indulg- ing in tall kind of rhetoric not found in impressed on him that he had manipulated the wrong man.

Burglars In the House.

There IS peculiar saddening effect
 says the Danbury Nea0s, in awaking ir
 the night at hearing burglars at work
 in your house. This was the case with
 MT. Henry on South street. As soon as
 he detected the noise, which appeared to
 be down stairs, he softly crept out of
 bed, and commenced to proWl around
 for match. His wife was soon awakened
 by the same noise, and believing that
 something was the matter with the chil-
 dren who} slept in the next room. she
 carefully withdrew from bed, so not to
 disturb her husband, and started for the door. An instantlater they collided.
 What he thought was evident enough. All the hard earnings of an arduous life were at stake. Before him stood one or more robbers. With an exclama- tlon of condensed eloquence he clinched her. What she thought is not quite so evident, but it was doubtless of her husband and children, and being pluckv withal, she at once twined her fingers in his hair, and gave him a wench that made him think of death. Then both of them went down to the floor together: she having the advantage in the fall. and getting on top, with her hands still In hair, she shook his head against the floor with an energy and courage that would have undoubtedly filled him to overfowing with admiration, had he known who it was, or had he known anything at all. Every time she rapped him she shrieked for help, and in brief space of time the children and Mrs. Eben Davis, who lives down stairs. were on the scene. Mrs. Davis was not dressed for company, but in the excite ment she didn't mind adornment. She had candle in one hand, and a long carving fork in the other, and was about to drive the latter into the legs of the william, when recognition ensued. Then Mrs. Davis laid down her candle in one direction, and the fork in another, and immediately returned to her own apart ments, her yellow flannel hnigt-cap, as it shot down the stairs, being the first thing that MT. Henry saw on springing to his feet. The children were returned to their room, and put to bed, but the parents did not resume their couch. It was so pleasant that MT. Henry con- 'luded to remain up the rest of the night and enjoy the scenery, and Mrs. Henry thought it best to stay up, too, 10 to change the cloths on his head as often as possible.
