For the Sentinel.
Coming Events.

from our present standpoint, is II matter ofno
| little interest. The great changes which have
occurred of late and are now taking place are
in themselves sufficient to arouse our minds as
TO the all.important future. Scarcely a year
has passed. since an inscriptions Congress vo-
ted 70 its own members an exhorbitantincrease
of pay; one would have supposed from its then
action that it was hopelessly lost TO all sense
Of honor aud integrity. And yet as if infu-
enced BY some magic power that same Con-
| gress has made haste to rctrace its steps, and
| by its last act in regard to the salary-grab has
placed upon It's own records Il Judgment Of
| condemnation upon its own infdelity and
! baseness From whence comes this sudden
and marvellous changer Whatpotent voice
has arrested these gentlemen in their fching
| propensties2 Al the last convening OF Con-
gress its members were like set Of boys
thrown into water over their heads, who could
could not swim, there was general scramble
as to which should first get hold Of plank to
save himself, each striving for his own safety.
| We, the people, should feel very grateful 10
this Congress. We should be proud OF il. II
is very rare chat thief will confess bis own
guilt to the public. But this Congress has act
ed nobly, it has not only confessed III guilt but
has promised 10 do better in future, and doubt
less is honestly trying TO keep its promise. OF
course there may he cases Of kleptomania
where the mind is diseased as uncomfortable
propensities to take little things, such as silver
spoons. We do not mean to say any member
is so particularly affected, but if he should be-
we must cover his faults with the mantle of
charity. The great mass promises TO do bet
ter, and by the use of Dr.. Bliss wonderful
Condnrango these exceptional cases Of stealing
mania will doubtless be cured as the remedy
is nfalIible. But should it fail for want Of
fair trial, then these suffering mortals will be
allowed the privilege Of free medical treatment
in that handsome building for the sick, now
being erected out of Seneca stone, at Wash
ington, D. G.
Another light has broken upon US in the
shape (no that will not do) under the name
THAT is better) of Changers. As it is a light,
it ought, as a matter Of course, TO cast per-
ceptible shadow in some places. Some said,
at first, that you could only see the shadows
il made around the Railroads, and about the
Offices of the great R. R. kings, but owing to
its extreme nervous sensibiity the engine
whistle had driven it away from the Rail
Road, and they now say you can see its
shadows about the manufacturers Of agricul-
tural implements, fertilizers, sewing machines,
&c. Now this must be very disagreeabe to
these manufacturers, to be haunted by such n
| Will O. the Wisp, and then the cause of this
intrusion, because they make money. Has it
become dishonorable to make money in this
nineteenth century, that a set of men should
be haunted? 1t would be useless for these
manufacturers TO try and buy these Changers
Off Changers don't like money-don't like
to see a man make ii--got no use for tab
hor it. Well, This is new light which as
tronomers have not YET exactly located. SomC
say that it embraces a regular planetary sys
TEN of lights, that Pomona star of first water
Turks in the boughs Of the apple tree; tina
Ceres will be visible when the laden heads o
wheat wave meath a golden sheen and Flori
will hide herself in the dew-drop that kisse
the first violet of Spring and die with the las
rose of summer.
This is something new, and not like TIE G 3
ascutus, dangerous ifitshould get loose.
No, it breathes kindness to all and portend
a future wherein there shall be no lack.
Again, its breath is not tainted with poll
tics. Upon careful enquiry, and after being
regularly interviewed by the best correspond
ents of the New York Herald, il is now almos
reduced TO a certainty that on the subject o
politics the Changers know nothing, and 1.-THE,
do know anything they intend to keep it t,
themselves.
We have one consolation, this new ligh
will not obscure the bow in the cloud, no
stop the return of seed-time and harvest Tn
horoscope will not be concluded until the line
embrace Prohibition, Local Option and ca
nine taxation. VIA.
