Treasurer Spinner's Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, NOV. g.
Gen Spinner's report is complete and
in the hands of the printer. He devotes
considerable space to an argument in
favor of issuing interchangeable bonds,
to bear interest at the rate of 3.65 per
cent. His arguments on this point are
in the main the same as those of last
year, except that he believes that it
would be wise to allow holders to eX-
change the 1865 for outstanding . and 8
per cent. bonds. He says that the great
est objection to a metallic currency is its
lack of elasticity and is Of the opinion
that the adoption of the convertible
bond will correct this evil He thinks
the rate of interest will be high enough
to sell the bonds, to the absorption
of any surplus currency, at any time,
while it will be enough to force return
of the bonds in exchange for legal-ten-
der notes when the business of the coun
| try demands more currency. The rate
| of interest at one cent day on the hun
dred dollars would be popular with the
people, he says, because it is easy OF
| computation. He argues that the con
version of the IS and IS into low-ratC
| bonds in the event of the condition ol
the currency demanding such conver
sion would result in the material reduc
! ton of the interest on the public debt
aud make it payable entirely in nationa
currency at home, and not in gold to for
| eignerS.

Fight with a Cougar.

ALETrER from Fort Griffin, Texas, gives
the following account of little episode
in frontier life;
"On the bank of the Clear Fork of the
Brazos River John Selman and his family
were sitting in their little cabin, enjoy
ing the comforts of brilliant fire, when
their dog set up fierce barking. Mr..
Hewitt who lives with Mr.. Selman,
walked out to see what was the matter
and discovered large cougar Mr.. II.
stepped back to get gun, leaving the
door open, intending to return in a mo-
ment. But their morning visitor did not
choose to wait for his return and followed
Immediately into the house. The first
Introduction the intruder gave himself
was to dean upon a little child, taking
hold Of its neck with his monster teeth,
inficting some very serious wounds
Mrs. Selman, the mother of the child,
grabbed II and released It. The animal
then made an attempt to recapture the
child from the mother, and Mr.. Hewitt,
who 70 gifted with uncommon size and
unusual strength, knocked the monster
down and kicked it under the bed. Mr..
Selman had got hold of gun by that
time and as the cougar came from under
the led shot it, the ball entering the left
side Of its neck, ranging back and COM
ing cut through the abdomen. But that
only infuriated MIN more than ever. He
then leaped upon the bed, tearing the
bed and bedding. The door had got
closed during the fracas and the wild
animal having become dissatisfied with
his little prison, like lion in cage,
eaped from side to side of the room,
upsetling the chairs, table and other fur
niture, at the same time uttering the
most terrific screams imaginable. AT
last Hr. Selman got hold of another gun
and shot it through behind the shoulders.
1t then jumped at the fire, grabbed its
mouth full of live Goals, and stood there
and gEOwled until Mr.. Selman opened
the door and Mr.. Hewitt took it by the
tail and dragged it into the yard, where
it died. 1t measured eleven feet nine
inches in length"

A Farmers Adventure.

On the night of the 1st inst, at about
ten o'clock, Mr. Fred Wagner, farmer
living in the town of Palos, was alarmed
after having retired for the night by
knock at the outer door of his residence;
he Immediately got up, and, lighting the
lamp, looked through the window, and
there saw four men standing at his door.
On inquiring what they wanted he was
informed that they had lost their way,
and desired to be directed to a store that
had lately been opened in the neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Wagner directed them to
wait with patience until he could dress
himself and he would cheerfully show
them the way. On opening the door
the men entcRed the room. He recog-
nized them as Thomas Lacey, Michael
Hayes and William Brown. The other
he did not know. They remarked that
they were very weary, and If he dldnt l
object they would remain over night
with him. Wagner, being hospitable
man, consented, but could only accom-
nodate them on the floor, as his bed
rooms were occupied by his family.
They accepted his courtesy and request
ed a drink of fresh water. The host
started for the water, and on returning
| to the house was surrounded and secure
| ly bound-hand and foot-and with six
shooters at his head the ruffians gave him
his choice ofinstant death or make known
| the place of concealment of money
they suspected him of having received
| from the sale of several head of cattle a
few days previous. Fortunately tlC
farmer had not been paid for the cattle
and so informed them, but gave the rob
bers whatllittle currency he had, amount
ting TO about So. They then ransackec
the house and gathered up all the bes
articles of wearing apparel they coulC
find, and, after leisurely helping them
selves to a square meal from the well
stored pantry of Mr., Wagner, took them
selves off with the clothing; before
leaving, however, they threatened
daughter of Wagner's with death shoul'
she liberate her father before daylight
The next morning Mr. Wagner came Il
the city and swore out warrant 10

been working up the case and succeeded
two days ago in arresting two OF the rot

The FIXTURE.

s4ItIS 4 OSIuuIII. Vss..sts.-s,..7,
1874 will not be decisive upon the cam
paign of 1876. 1t looks as if the Democ-
racy would have control of the Forty
fourth Congress, and a number of State
Legislatures in which they have rarely
had majorities. By its mistakes we shall
profit. We shall, in turn, play the part
of the critic, and it will be singular if the
party of Bourbon instincts and repudia-
tion doctrines does not itself proclaim
disaster in the hour of success. The Re
publican party still maintains its hold
upon the intelligence of the people. 1t
begins to-day the battle of iS76-a battle
which will be earnestly fought, but whose
issue we believe, under the new inspira-
ton it will receive, cannot he doubtful
For the present let Democracy shout
itself hoarse over the spasmOdic triumph,

received, begin to perfect the plans for the
contest before it. We lose no heart and
we shall give no quarter.-Rochester IN

TRIPPING thrO' the meadow sweet,

Pleasant was the waving wheaI.
Golden was the weather,
Robins, piping in the sky
Told their happy story
How the moments wandered by,
Lost in summers gloryl
Love, to us, was all complete
Brighter than the weather.
Tripping thro' the meadow sweet,
You and togetheri
Purple leaves are falling now,
Blighting is the weather;
At the fre-side here we bow,
You and I together.
Still we hear the robin sin
As in days departed;
Still my arms around you cling,
Blithe and happy hearted

Mid this wintry weather,
Waiting for the summer sweet,

An ! aad are they who know not love,
Bat, FAR from passions tears and smiles,
Drift down o mOonlese sea, beyond
The silvery coasts Of fairy lsles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
kiss empty air, and never touch
The dear, wHrm mouth OF those they love
Waiting, wasting, suffering much.
But clear as amber, fine as musk,
Is life to those who, pilgrim-wise,
Move hand In hand from dawn to dusk,

Oh not for them shall angels pray;
They stand In everlasting light;
They walk In Allah's smile by day,
And nestle in his heart by night.

the local authorities do more, or is there
any necessity for any more being done ?
When the State authorities have ex-
hausted their means in surpressing in
surrections or violence of any sort, then,
article 4, section l. of the Constitution
of the United States, comes to our re.
lief; it guarantees to every State re-
publican form of government, and pro.
tects each of them from invasion, and
on application of the Legislature, or of
the Executive, shall protect them against
domestic violence.
The Executive has not considered it
necessary to make this call, and it has
not therefore been made, and if it had
been, suppose President Grant would
have replied to his Excelency, as he did
to Governor Ames, of Mississippi, and
Governor Baxter, of Arkansas, by telling
him there was no necessity for Federal
intervention, and that the State must
first exhaust her own resources. The
only reason that prompts the writing OF
this article, is to contribute something,
if possible, to the preservation Of States
rights and State sovereignty, and to ar
rest the tide of consolidation that is so
rapidly sweeping over the conntry.

rho larges1 cavern in the world


At the Hartford meeting Of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science, Mr.. Porter C Bliss, late Sec.
retary of Legation in Mexico, gave a
description ofthe Cave OF Cacahuamilpa
which, according to his statement, is
the largest cavern in the world 1t in
cludes a series of broad and lofty halls,
with lateral passages extending upon
the same level an immense distance into
the heart of lofty range Of mountains
These halls abound in colossal stalac
tites and stalagmites, of every conceiva-
vable grotesque aud fancitul form. Ata
depth Of 200 or 800 feet beneath the
cave, the mountain is penetrated by
two rivers of considerable size, which, at
their entrance, are about half g mile
apart, and, after flowing distance, by
direct measurement, of FIVE miles,
emerge from the mountain in close prox-
unity, and thence, uniting, form Que Of
the chief affluents of the Mexicola The
channels in the solid rock through which
these rivers emerge are said by Mr.. Bliss
to be large enough to admit the Hartford
State house. Fragments Of timber and
debris are often hoated through the
mountain, but these subterranean river
beds have never been explored Myriads
of bats and nocturnal birds seek shelter
or make their abode in the mouths Of
the cave.

The mission of the Beautiful,
Is not for eye alone.
IT builds within the minor life,
Its glorious highest throne;
wave the iag Of victory
Where falsehood is Ger thrown.
The graves of the Beautiful.
Abide with holy love;
And benedictions circle round
Its mandate from above.
And eagle aspirations wing
Beside the hous ehold dove;
The heart-life of the Bautful
Forever builds its nest,
Where weary disenchantment brings
The sorrow stricken breast.
Life dwells with peace and holiness,
For friendships loyal breast.
The spirit of the Beautiful
Forevermore is where
Truths triumphant songs of victory,
Are wrung from souls despair,
For sorrows potent ministry,
Ascends our human prayer.
