Organization is only valuable as it is sub
ordinate to just and benefcent principles.
There are in both parties men who are stick
lers for organization, but seem to have no
conception Of principles. So in the republic
can party there are thousands who condemn
the abuses, and yet are constantly lending
their whole influence to sanction and perpet-
uate them by uphOlding the party upon
whose shoulders the chief responsibility rests.
The so-called anti.mOnopoly movement, how
ever, bids fair to break the party shackles
and bring into alliance the millions of voters
who are determined to put an end to these
abuses Er. Cor. HaiqM of California.

A Stolen Yacht.

Capt Barkalew, of Hoboken, N. j., has just
returned from iruitless trip half over the
world in search of stolen yacht-the Maria
fast sailer tina. used to beat steamboats, on the
Hudson River. One day the Maria went sail
ing over the seas on business for her owners,
among whom was Capt. Barkalew. and she
failed to report herself any more. 1t became
pretty certain that the Maria had been stolen
by her captain, who had probably resolved to
make a series of pirating cruises on his own
account. Capt. Barkalew sailed over the seas

tographs of the vessel in the principal ports Of

arms 10 the Carlists of Spain, and which an

The Captain made extraordinary efforts to
run her down and head her off, but he was
always too late at the ports visited by the
Marie. The crafty little vessel was not to be
caught mapping III the trap of port, while
she had feet wings AMI the sea was all before

Gov Lewis, of Alabama, has sign Allied his
infamous career as chief magistrate, by par
doning, in the last hour of his official exist
ence. wretehed burglar, who had added to
his record the CRIME of arson. A Montgomery
CORRESPONDENT of the Mobile Register, writes
as follows
The last official fct of Gov. Lewis was to
pardon Pairo, of Mobile, who had been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary tor ten years for
the crime of burglary. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was detected in the act of at
tempting to commit arson in Mobile some
time ago, but that by some technicality of the
law he escaped a conviction Of this crime, and
was convicted of burglary.
Numerous other indictments were pending
against him at the time Of his conviction, but
they were nolle pressed as it was thought the
community had been rid of the man. But he
is now at large He took the train this morn
ing for the North, where it is hoped he will
remain when he gets there. Gov. Lewis here
toto.e most positively refused to pardon the
convict, but as the crowning act of his infamy
in the last few days. he exercised one of the
highest prerogatives of the chief executive
officer ef the State in pardoning this bad man.

Says the Griffin (Ga.,) Ners Some I'M
known parties squandered bucket OF lard on
the rairoad track mile above town a few
nights ago, and at the lower end of the greas-
ing stuck up a placard, which, when train
arrived and the headlight shone upon it, re-
vealed these terrible words ''Blow, d-n
you blow" The engineer did blow He
bowed his engine whistle and he blowed his
own private whistle, and he blowed out such
language that his chance for eternal salvation
is not worth tinkers denunciation. The
train came to dead halt, train hands and
passengers were put to work sanding the
track, and by the aid of yoke of steers bor-
rowed from Mrs. Fannie Woodruff, the train
was put in moeion. 1t got to Macon an hour
behind time.

A Boston boy either tells whopper or he is
the hero of a startling adventure. 1t is how
ever, fact that he disappeared and was away
from home five weehs-seen by nobody who
ever knew him before. He is a son of DR.. w.
81. Eldridee, OF Boston, and was employed in
an apothecary shop. He failed to 60 home one
night and was given up tor lost, ..strayed, stolen
or run away. When he returned he said on
leaving the store that night he was accosted
by strange man, who informed him there was
a fire raging in the vicinity of Chelsea bridge.
The man and the boy went together to look
for the fire, and arrived on the bridge the boy
says the man seize1 him around the neck,
choked him, robbed him and threw him over
into the waters of the Mystic. The chill Of
the plunge restored him to consciousness and
he swan and hoated opposite East Boston,
where he found a spar and mounted it. On
this he floated out to sea. He again became
unc ,nscious, and when he came round to his
senses, found himself still clinging to the spar
and out of sight of land. He was finally res
cued by brig bound tor Greenland, but as he
did not want to go to that country in the win
ter time, he was placed on board an English
steamer-he says the Norman carried to
Liverpool. He returned home by the steamer
Smyrna.

The TONGUE Nothing but the proboscis
of an elephant compares in muscular hexibility
with the tongue. 1t varies in length and size
in reptiles, birds and mammalia, according to
the peculiar organic circumstances Of each.
A giraffe tongue has the functions Of finger.
1t is hooked over high branch, its strength
being equal to breaking off large, strong
branches of trees, from which tender leaves
are then stripped: An ant bears tongue is
long and round, like a whiplash. The aninnal
tears open dry clay walls OF ant hills, thrus.s
in its tongue, which sweeps around the apart
ments, and by its adhesive saliva brings out
yard of ants at a swoop. The mechanism
by which it is protruded so far is both compli-
Gated and beautiful A dogs tongue in lap
ping water takes form by mere act of volition
that cannot be initiated by an ingenious
mechanician. The human tongue in the arti-
culation OF language surpasses in variety of
motions the widest Imagination Of poet.
Even in swallowing food its Office is so extra
ordinary that psychologists cannot explain tue
phenomena of deglutition without employing
the aid of several sciences.

A tale of love and religion comes from
Marysville, Iowa. Bishop Haven was dedicat-
ing a Methodist Church and soliciting SUBJ
scriptons to pay for the edifce. A talkative
Young mana friend of his-who was near,
wins pered to him in one of the pauses that if
certain young lady of the congregation
would marry him he would give five hundred
dollars towards paying for the meeting house.
The young man was able The Bishop, child
like, blurted the proposition right out in
meeting, and exhorted the young lady to come
up to the scratch, if not for love, for religion.
Presently the young lady rose and said she
was willing SO the match was thus publicly
made, the church received liberal donation,
two hearts were made happy, and love and re-
ligion went hand in glove to hymen's altar.
1t was an unfair advantage to take of joke,
but the Bishop wanted money very badly, the
the young man was able the young woman
was willing. and the little affair made sub
scriptions brisk among the other members.
That church will thrive and likely the congre-
CATION will increase.
