THE NEGRO IN THE SPEAKERS
CHAIR.

The Chicago Times discourses as
follows on the spectacle Of the negro
presiding over an American Con-
gress
To confer this inestimable boon
of freedom upon this inestimable
creature, to enable him to sit in the
Speakers chair at Washington, to
enable him to progress from Sene-
gambiam to q legislator, we have
incurred some expenses. Notably q
debt ofseveral thousands Of millions.
Notably, also, the loss Of some two
or three hundred thousand lives
We must also chalk up as an offsett
against putting Rainey In the Speak

with Ben Butler as his right bower,
Morton as his left bower, and Logan,
FarweIl, and company for trumps.

and other similar things, including
Kellogg, Durell, and Baxter Brooks,

pleasing spectacle Of seeing the
dusky member from South Carolina

Were one not too much thrilled

the glorious labor Of getting Rainey

REST.

How sweetly sounds the word to

The week is past, the Sabbath dawns.
"There Is rest for the weary" The
dun clouds Of adversity are forgotten,
for around, the wife and children
gather, and father and mother are
made happy. The sun mounts up;
the Sabbath bell calls the children
to Sunday school. Leaving, father
and mother to enjoy the peaceful
home, they run away to the house
of God, and there learn what things
the Lord has done. Still higher
mounts the sun. And now the ring

call to prayer. Old men and mat>

forth with quiet steps and thankful

wrspoM OF SILENCE.

A courier Of Alexander tho Great
paid a visit to the studio Of Appel
les, the celebrated painter, and was
received with the consideration due
his rank. This excited his vanity,
and unhappily he talked about the
art Of painting, exposing his ignor-
ance in variety Of questions and
criticisms. Appelles interrupted
him at length in a low voice !:
Do you see those boys that are
grinding my colors : While you
we're silent, they admired yon, daz.
zIed with the splendor of the purple
and gold with which your habit gilt
tiers; but ever since you began to
talk about what you do not UNDER
stand, they have done nothing but

HEARTY guppERs.

Says DR.. Denison: Eating a
hearty meal at the close Of the day
is like giving laboring man full
days work te do just as night sets
in, although he had been toiling all
day. The whole body is fasigued
when night sets in, the stomach
takes its due share, and to eat heart-
lily at supper and then go to bed is
giving all the other portions and
functions of the body repose, while
the stomach has thrown upon it four
or FIVE hours more of additional
work, after having already labored
four or FIVE hours to dispose Of
break fast and still longer time tor
dinner. This ten or twelve hours Of
almost incessant work has nearly
exhausted its power; it can moi
promptly digest another full meal,
but Iabors at it for long hours to-
gether, like an exhausted galley
slave on a newly imposed task.
The result is that by the unnatur.
al length of time in which the food
is kept in the stomach, ard the i'm
perfecs manner in which the ex-
hausted organ manages it, II be
comes more or less acid; this gem
crates wind, this distends the stom-
acb, this presses itself against the
more yielding lungs, combining them
to a largely diminished space; hence
every breath taken is insufficient for
the wants of the system, the blood
becomes foul, black and thick, re-
fuses 10 flow, and the man dies, OF
in delirium or fright leaps from q
window or commits suicide.

The picnic of the Southern
Sunday School yesterday Tues
day. was an enjoyable affair. The
school went to Berry's woods, just
across the Potomac, on the line Of
the G. V. r.. r. They arrived at
the woods about half-past seven in
the morning, and at once set about
making preparations for the days
enjoyment. Swings were erected,
and the amusement and pleasures
of the day were varied between
swinging, playing charades, Cop
enhazen and r0pe-jumping. AT
noon all had acquired, by exer-
else, an appreciative zest for the
bounteous supplies of the commits
sary department. Ii is useless to
say that old aud young did full
justice 10 the Well-filed baskets of
sub5tantials and delicacies. After
the noon repast the various sports
were again resumed and kept up
until train time. The day was cool
and pleasant in the woods com
pared with the dust and heat OF
the city. The pie mic was decided
success, and the managers deserve
the thanks of ali who participated
in its enjoyments. We are sure
they were fully repaid for all the
trouble in getting it up, by the
bright, sunny faces and merry
ringing voices OF little folks who
evidently thought nothing could
be more pleasant than pic-nicking
in such a grand woods on such a
beautiful day. All returned home
highly pleased with the picnic
and its manifold enjoy ments.-
When next they go on like ex-
cursion, may we be there to see.
We are requested to return the
thanks of the school to Mr.. Berry,
for the gratuitous use of his beau
tiful grove.

A great number of our citizens
are having water pipes inserted in
their buildings and are unanimous
in their approval of the Holly sys-
tenn of supply. There are, how
ever, many others DESTROYS of be-
coming consumers, bu are pre-
vented by being unable to under
stand the schedule of rates. We
believe the schedule of rates needs
emodeling, and we know that the
old Council seriously discussed the
plan OF charging, and to that end
appointed a committee to make in
quiry into the manner ofcharging
in other town and cities. The
idea Of charging for the rooms in
a house is what is boihering per-
sons. They say their house has
eight rooms in it, and they only
actually use five. The understand
ing with as always has been that
the consumer only paid for the
rooms actually occupied. We
think 4 better plan would be to
charge according 20 the size Of the
family Where there are no chill
dren IN the family charge double
rates; bachelors quadruple les
We believe schedule can be
arranged that will give more gen
erai satisfaction, and to this
end We call the attention Of
the authorities. We heard
so me inquiries last nigat

no price is fixed and for their
benefit we would state that
