- They had parish in our church, writes a
New England correspondent, and the great
question of the salary of the pastor of Blank
was up for discussion But the debate was like
the handle of a pitcher-all on one side, near
ly every one taking the ground thatit would be
impossible to go beyond the present starvation
point. At length, to the surprise of all, a poor
old man who was never known to speak in
meeting, rose and holding on by the pew to
steady himself, said "Mr. Chairman, they
call me droll fellow, and so am; they call
me drunkard, and so l am; they call me a
swearer, and it is true, and Pm ashamed of it
ashamed of all but l amt half so much
ashamed of it as am that have to live in a
town where the people are too stingy to give the
minister decent living" The effect Of this
short speech was very happy. 1t shamed the
people into duty and decency, and the salary
was increased by the unanimous vote of the
congregation.
- The New York Herald says: Under the
plea of funding their Indebtedness, there can
be little doubt that some of the Southern
States are openly contemplating reputation.
South Carolina was but recently represented by
a committee in New York, who, on behalf of the
State, proposed that the Government shall
ignore Sc, 00O,O 900 of bonds, because they were
not issued, as provided by law, to take up other
bonds; and that the remaining S16.000O00 of
the debt shall be converted into new consoli-
dated bonds at fifty cents on the dollar. AS the
State is becoming sadly disorganized and i'm
poverishcd under corrupt political rule, it is
not improbable that even these strange pro-
posals may be accepted by many bond-holders,
for the creditors of the State seem to think
that the less the Government undertake to pay
the better may be their chances of getting some
thing

How THE EYE is SWEPT AND..WAsHED.-
For US to be able to see objects clearly and
distinctly, it is necessary that the eye should
be kept clean For this purpose it is furnish
ed with a little gland, from which flows a wa
terry fluid (tears), which is spread over the eye
by the lid, and is afterward swept off by it;
and runs through hole in the bone to the un-
der surface of the nose, while the warm air,
passing over it while breathing, eyaporates it,
1t is remarkable that no such gland can be
found in the eyes of fish, as the element in
which they live answers the same purpose. If
the eye had not been furnished with liquid to
wash it, and lid to sweep it of, things would
appear as they do when you look throug h a
dusty glass. Along the edges of the eyeids
there are great number Of little tubes or
glands, from which flows an oily substance
which spreads over the surface of the skin,
and thus prevents the edges from being sore or
irritated, and it also helps to keep tears within
the lid. There are also six little muscles at
tached to the eye which enable us to move it
in every direction; and when we consider the
different motions they are capable of giving to
the eye, we cannot but admire the goodness of
Him who formed them, and thus saved us the
trouble of turning our heads every time We
wished to view an object.

"BUT THEY HAVE DONE IT"-A man
shut up in Jail entertained belief that he was
illegally confined, and SO sent for a lawyer to
consult about the matter. After listening to
the prisoners story, the lawyer said:
"Can't put you in Jail for that "'
"Can't they, though ?"
s'Certainly not; the thing is preposterous.
They cannot put man in jail for any such ac-
tions."
"But they have, though" urged the prison
er, who fully agreed with the lawyer that they
couldn't do it; but was unable to get it out OF
his head that he was in Jail, nevertheless.
81 tell you, my dear fellow, it is impossible
they cannot imprson you on charge like that
it is against the law"
"But they haze done it," cried the prisoner,
stubbornly, and with rising anger, "and con-
found 'em, here I am. / want to get out"
"But say they can't do it. If you under
stood the first thing about law, you would see
they couldn't, yourself. Blackstone says"
"Confound Blackstone Amt l here, and
haven't been here for the last six weeks ?"
~ tell you they can't put you in Jail for
that" shouted the lawyer, springing out of
his chair and growing excited himself, because
his client refused to listen to the point of law
in the case.
"And 1 tell you /" yelled the prisoner, jump
ing to his feet and dancing around with excite
ment and evaporation, "they have done it.
and am here in Jail, and what in the thunder
is the use of saying they can't do it?"

every working man be gentleman in his be-
havior, and every working woman lady :?
Gentlemaniness or ladylikeness does not con-
sist in birth, in wealth, or robes, or jewels, or
fashionable and costly clothing. There are
those who possess all these, aud are yet unman-
nerly. A gentleman, literally, originally, and
properly, signifies gentle man, or one who IS
uurbane and kind in bis conduct toward all per-
sons, whatever may be their rank, but espe-
cially towards those who may, in any respect, be
deemed his interiors. A proud and naughty
monarch is not a gentleman. A contemp-
tuous, fastidious, disdainful, arrogant, insolent
princes, is not lady, does not deserve the
name cf woman. The working classes gener-
ally have very distinct ideas of the attributes
of ladies and gentlemen.
"He is no gentleman" said an hostler, the
other day, concerning wealthy merchant, who
had been assuming all sorts of airs about his
horse which stopped some hours at the stable,
and for which he had paid sixpence. "My
Mistress" exclaimed a poor scullery girl, lis no
lady, for she gives her orders like vixen, and
struts about like turkey cock. It's true she
has plenty of money and 6nerly, but she does
not know how to behave herself to the poor"
On the contrary, we have often heard such
words as these: "Hon. Mr.. A. is quite gen
tleman !" Mrs. B. is perfect lady" and the
reason assigned in each instance was, "They
have no pride, and are very kind to every one p
Hence, manners and morals, not money or
costly garments, make men gentlemen, and
women ladies; and therefore we ask again,
why should not every operative be gentleman,
and every working woman lady? The dis
tinction is not property qualification, or a
hereditary right, but mental and moral
accomplishment which all may possess.

newspapers printed on one side, leaving the
other blank for the local news. Thirty monthly
magazines are published in Chicago. and the
daily papers appear also in other forms. three
times week or weekly. There are very Large
morning and evening journals, with YER long

the Americans absorb such hinge supply OF pc
riodical literature Of all kinds. Another Ameri-
can peculiarly is the great amount Of good hotel
accommodation. There are forty OF what are
called "principal :" hotels I've know not how
many others), and these forty offer more than

THE SERVANT QUESTION.

Letter 1TOnl a - N3fls"
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
SIZE: The writer Of communication in last
Sundays TRIBUNE was very wroth because tue
wages Of some women's husbands are insufficient
to pay the common wages girls are gotting now.
But how in the world eau the girls help that? Il
a woman OF the class spoken OF can't afford to
keep girl, she must, in spite Of her high feel
ings, awkwardnesB, laziuesss, or whatever it is.
get along without, just as we'll as she must do
without sealskin cloak, ailk dress, OF anything
else, high out OF her reach, that her poetical
soul might suggest.
It can not be denied that tho writer seems to be
somewhat selfish, and surely little bit Of a ty-
rant. She appears to think that tho girls ought
to do the dirty Etchen-work TINT moro highly
cultivated tastes and inherited projudices nat
uraly shrlnk from. No one can doubt, after
hearing this, that she considers the employer as
higher being, one Of g. superior race, who has
u right to have servant whose duty it is to
serve her and do her bidding with the greatest
alac1ity and obedience, only for tho honor and
pleasure Of serving her. Il il beautiful dream,
but it won't work ID real Gfe-
But, after Ill, tie writer says that, with mod
ern improvements, housekeeping is not very
hard. Why don't poor house1eepers, thon, knock
all such bigh-Hown notiouB out OF their heads,
replace them with common Bense. roll up their
sleeves, go ilgA4 TO FoTk% earn tOe wages anu
freedom they envy the laboror, and get tue bene-
fit Of tho fresh air aud exercise they allow the
girl in running to aud fro from the grocer's7 It
would do them good and cost nothing. and they
would, at the same time, show the world that
they we're not AZ lazy al they have been taken to
be, aud, last and best. that they still
loved their husbands. and had not for
gotten their marrlage-vow, to take
those husbapds for better or worse. snd help
them to carry the heavy burdens they arc stag
going under.
The only sound point IN the article ia whore it
speaks about the girls~aping their mibtrceses at
