PREsUMPTIoN.-He who takes lis
boys to the beer shop, and trust
that they will grow up sober, puts
his coffee pot on the fire, and ex-
poets it to look as bright as new
tin. Men cannot be in their sens
es when they brew with bad malt
and expect good beer, or set a
wicked example, and reckon upon
raising a respectable family. You
may hope and hope till your heart
grows sick; but when you send
your boy up the chimney, he'll
come down black for all your hop
ing. Teach a child to lie, and
then hope he will grow up honest;
better put wasp in a tar barrel
and then wait till he makes you
honey. AS to the next world, it
is great pity that men do not
take little more care when they
talk of it.. If a man dies drunk,
SOMEBODY or other is sure TO say,
81 hope he has gone to heaven.
It is all very well to wish it, but to
hope it is another thing. Men
turn their faces to hell and hope
to get to heaven; why don't they
walk into the horse pond and
hope to be dry? Hopes of heaven
are solemn things, and should be
tried by the Word of God. A
man might as well hope, as oul
Lord says, to gather grapes OF
thorns or figs of thistles, as t.
look for a happy hereafter at The
end of q bad life. There is only
one rock to build hopes on, ant
that Is not Peter, as the Pope says
neither is it sacraments, but thu
merits of the Lord Jesus. Their
John Ploughman rests, and he il
not afraid, for this is q firm foot
ing, which neither life nor dealt
can shake; but I must not turl
preacher, SO please remember tina
! presumption is ladder which vii
break the mounter's neck, an,
don't try it as you love your soul

Some worknen engaged in re-
moving . monument in the parish
church at Whitechurch, Shrop-
shire, Ell gland, came upon a hu-
man skeleton, which has been de-
clared to be no other than that of
the first Earl of Sherwsbury-the
Lord Talbot of shakespeare
'' Henry VI" The skeleton was
found Immediately under the eff
gy of the first Earl of Sherws-
bury, AMI as there is hole in
the back of the skull such as
might have been made by battle
ak, and as local historians long
ago asserted that the body of the
great soldier, after his death al
Bordeaux in 1853, was taken tc
Whitechurch for interment, there
can be no doubt that the remains
are those of ''the scourge o

CASA GRANDE.-The old ruins
OF Arizona, which need to be re-
garded as almost fabulous, have
never yet ceased to excite the in
terest of explorers. A late letter
from Wickenburg says: A care
full examination of some extensive
ruins, found some miles east of
Florence, on the ella river, has
been made. The principal ruin is
q parallelogram fertilization, GOO
feeC in width by 1000 feet in
length. The walls, which were
built of stone, have long been
overthrow and are overgrown by
trees and vines. 1t has been de-
serted, perhaps for more than a
Thousand years, and has been
crumbling away in the wilderness.
Within the inclosed area are the
remains of great structure 200
by 260 feet, constructed of rough
ly hewn stones. In some places
the wall remains almost perfect
to a height of some twelve feet
above the surface. On the east
side of the granda casa there are
two openings of an oval shape,
which doubtless SERVED the pur-
pose of windows. On the inner
sides of the wall of the palace, for
such it doubtless was, there are
yet perfectly distinct tracings of
the image of the sun. There are
two towers, at the southeast and
southwest corners of the great in
closure, still standing, one Of
which is twenty-siX and the other
thirty one feet high. These have
evidently been much higher, as
the broken tops and the amount
of debris near their base demon
strate. A few copper implements,
some small golden ornaments
one being an image of the sun,
with q perforation in the middle
and some stone utensils, and two
rudely carved stone vases, much
like those found in Zupetaro and
Copan, in Central America, are all
the works of art yet discovered.
No excavations have been made
as yet to determine fully the ex.
tent and character of these ruins.
The ruins are situated in q small
plain, elevated nearly 200 feet
above the bed of the ella. The
fragments of pottery and polished
stone reveal a condition of civil
cation among the builders O
these ruins analogous to that o
the ancient Peruvian, Contra
American, and Mexican nations
The country in the vicinity o
the buried palace is particularly
wild and unusually desolate. NJ
clue to the builders of this grea
fortified palace, with it's tower
and moat, has been, or is likel,
ever to be discovered. There i
one thing, however, made appar
ent-that is, that this whole coun
try was once peopled by rae
having a higher grade of civiliza
ton than is found among any O
the native tribes of the latte
ages. But whether this race wer
: the ancestors of the Pimos, Q
some extinct people, is not an
: can not certainly be known
l These extensive ruins will b

Gov. Hendricks is taking good
care of his record. He does not
exactly know how the Democratic
pulse will beat on the financial
question In 1876, and his views
concerning the veto, if he has
any. are carefully kept to himself.
To the irrepressible interviewer,
who approached him recently, he
courteously remarked that he did
not think it comported "with the
duties and dignity of his Office as
Executive of a Commonwealth to
enter actively into a controversy
with the Executive of the nation
on a Veto" He remarked, how
ever, that he was not willing to
say, in view of all the facts, that
the demand of the West for G
moderate increase OF the currency
was unreasonable-St Louis Dem

How TO CONDUCT A NEWSPAPER.
We clip some sensible words on
this subject from the Louisville
Courier Journal:
Some people estimate tie ability
of q newspaper and the talent of
its editor by the quantity of orig
inal matter. 1t is comparatively
an easy task for a frothy writer to
pour out daily column of words;
words upon any and all subjects.
His ideas may flow in one weak,
washy, everlasting food, and the
command of his language may
enable him to string them togeth-
or like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be q meagre and
poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part of editing a paper is
but a small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed in
selecting, is far moro important,
and the tact of good editor is
better shown III his selections
than anything else; and that, we
know, is half the battle. But as
we have said, an editor ought to
be estimated, and his labor under
stood and appreciated by the gen
eral conduct of his paper; its
tone, its uniform consistent
course, its aims, manliness, its
dignity, and its propriety. To
Ipreserve these as they should be
preserved, is enough to fully &C
cupy the time and attention OF
Iany man. II to this be added the
general supervision of the news
paper establishment which most
editors have to encounter, the
wonder is how they find time tc
write at all.
