A Saving Tabloid.

The Stanford (Ky.) Journal thus tells how
farmer foiled battering ram Early on Sun
day morning a gentleman walked out, prob
ably for the purpose OF sailing his sheep
After few vigorous calls the flock collected
around him and clamored as usual for theil
allowance One old, black ram, however
seemed to have something on his mind anG
stood aloof. The owner, seeking to conciliatt
him, approached and laid his hand upon his
head. This the ram resented with furious
charge, which was repeated until the owner
took to flight. But he was too far from the
fence, and the enemy literally hung upon his
rear with persevering obstinacy. A change
OF front was resolved upon and Immediately
effected, but still the battery was played with
undiminished fervor. Soon the parties
clnched, and, after vigorous scuff1e, they
came to the ground. The ram could now do
nothing, but his fleece protected his ribs from
the furious blows Of his adversary.
| Both seemed now pretty fairly exhausted.
The man was on top, and seizing a stone
which lay near commenced pounding the head
of the sheep. OF course the rock was soon
reduced to fragments but the man, having
formerly driven hogs, thought Of the expe-
dent of throwing dust in the eyes of the re-
cusant, and incontinently filled his optics
with clay, rubbing it in. He then arose to
enjoy the success of his ruse but the ram
"riz, too, and pausing single moment, ap-
piled knee to each eye and renewed the
combat. And now the fight was more des-
perate than before, and victory seemed to
perch above the sheep. But, at he put all his
power into one final blow, his almost fainting
antagonist succeeded in avoiding the shock
and catching the ram by the tail and now the
tide Of victory turned A succession of flu
rious kicks, administered q pOsteriOri, decided
the contest. The ram cried foul play, but
the adversary fought for conquest. At length
the tabloid slipped and both parties fed
in opposite directions.

NEW YORK, April l9.-The Special Com

scented to the President at Washington, on
Friday last, the petition signed by 1900 of
the leading bankers and merchants of this
city, misunderstanding the Senate's Cur
rency bill, returned last evening. They
all unite in expressing feelings of disgust at
the treatment they were subjected to dur
ing this interview. Cyrus w Field, Chair
man of the Committee, says that he ar
ranged with President Grant for private
interview. When the time for this ar
rived, they were ushered into the public
reception-room Of the White House where
they found the President, who received
them courteously.
BUTLER PUTS IN HIS OAR.
| Very soon thereafter Gen. Butler burst
unceremoniously into the room, through
the door leading to Gen. Babeock's office,
and, after making curt apology, aud say
ing he would detain him only minute. he
took the President off TO one corner of the
room, and spoke with him very earnestly.
| Instead of OBTAINING him one minute.
he kept MIN ten, leaving the Committee
awkwardly standing This they all looked
IL on as very discourteous.
ERTAIN INITIATION SENATOR'S APPEAR.
When Butler left, the President an
nounced his readiness to hear their mis-
sion, and Mr. Low began his address. Be
fore he had proceeded tar, Senators Logan,
Ferry (of Michigan, and Carpenter en-.

without word, stood by during the re-
mainder Of the interview.

God IN the Constitution.

The attempt to drag down the ra-
diant robe of Divinity into the dirty
pool of politics has met its quietus,
for a season. A Committee of the
House of Representatives have de-
Cided that Christ meant what he said
when be declared, "My Kingdom is
not of this world" During several
sessions past, large number of petit.
tons asking for the formal recognition
of Almighty God and the Christian
religion in the Constitution of the
United States have come before Con-
gress; and this session they have been
referred to the Judiciary Committee
which has just reported, as follows:
The Committee on the Judiciary, TO whom
was referred the petition OF Z. G. Goulet and
others, asking Congress for ian acknowledge
ment of Almighty God and the Christian re-
ligion" in the Constitution of the United States,
having considered the matter referred to them,
respectfully pray leave to report:
That, upon examination even Of the meager
debates by the fathers of the Republic in the
convention which framed the Constitution,
thay find that the subject of this memorial
was most fully and carefully considered, and
then, ia that convention, decided after grave
elaboration, TO which the subject was entitled,
that, as this country the foundation OF whose
government they we're then laying, was to be
she home of the oppressed of all nations of
the earth, whether Christian or Pagan, and in
full realization OF the dangers which the union
between church and state had imposed upon
so many nations of the Old World, with great
unsnimity that it was inexpedient to put any
thing into the Constitution or frame of gov
eminent which might be construed to be a re.
ference to any religious creed or doctrine.
And they further find that this decision was
accepted by our Christian fathers with such
great unanimty that in the amendments which
were afterward proposed, in order to make the
Constitution more acceptable to the nation,
none has ever been proposed to the States by
which this wise determination of the fathers
has been attempted TO be changed. Where.
fore, your committee report that il is ine1pedi-
ent to legislste upon the sabjuct of the above
memorial, and ask that they be discharged
from further consideration thereof, and that
this report, together with the petition, be laid
upon the table

Trousers for Ladies.

Long white trousers for ladies are
much worn on the Continent. These
trousers should be quite plsin for
wearing in the daytime and in the
street but those for evening wear

taste and means of the lady herself

this mode is very much seen on the
Continent among French, Spanisrds,
and especially Russians. When at
Barcelona, few years ago, remark

plain, some richly trimmed with lace
frills or founees. Two or four inches
of the trousers were visible, setting of
she small Spanish foot TO perfection.

Healthfulness of Dancing.

As to the healthfulness of dancing
ths following from the acknowledged
authority. The "Dictioniarie DIES
Sciences medicales," may answer:
"The body adopts a more graceful
and healthy position. The shoulders
and arms tall back, and the lower
limbs receive more strength and agili-
ty. The muscles of the legs and calves
yes develope, and the feet turn out
ward, by which the gait becomes more
graceful and right. Dancing is espec-
tally beneficial for youth, but most for
that period of youth when motion is a
necessity and the wear of power is a
means to replenish the same. Every
body wishes to become strong and
agile, and there is no other bodily ex-
ercise which fills the bill as well as
the practical art of dancing, for all
other practice will drill but part OF
the body and leave the other intact.
Fencing will develop the muscles OF
the arms and legs f; other gymnastic
exercises will also strengthen some
parts of the body. but fail in giving
grace to the movements. Therefore
dancing and pantomime are the bes,
and most healthy exercises to be fol-
lowed"
