CONGRESSIONAL BoMBAsT.-Although the
bombast of the past was wearisome. it had it's
virtue in the patriotism by which it was usually
inspired. This virtue gave it attraction, and
there are few of our elders who have not been
thrilled by tho diffusive, burning harrangue Of
the stump; but TO our ears the wild cry of the
bird of freedom has become a disagreeable
squawk. After while, its voice got into the
throats of demagogues oftener than those Of
true men, and thus it went out of fashion
Now, when man begins to talk about this
great and glorious country, and her manifest
destiny, we suspect him of q scheme to obtain
land grants or subventions for steamship lines
Ito extend the area of freedom. When he
speaks of the sufferings Of his community
through the want of internal improvements,
We suspect him Of desire to get his hand into
the meal. bag; and when he says he is ready to
lay down his life on the altar of liberty. our
suspieions grow almost to convictions. IT. in
addition to this, he invokes the name Of his
Maker as to the purity and patriotism of his mo-
tves, our mind is made up.-Abert Rhodes /;
ScYibner's for January.

MONUMENTS TO LIVING MEN.-It is a rath.
er unsafe thing to build monuments celebra.
ting the virtues Of living men, and. in these
days OF historical discoveries of the falsity of
histories il requires some circumspection to
decide which of the dead idols of popular favor
should be put in imperishable bronze. The
trustees of the Tweed Testimonial Associa.
tiOn, although they comprise such citizens as
A. Oakley Hall, Peter B. Sweeney, Matthew
I. Brennan, Richard B. Connolly, James
O'Brien and Alber. Cardoza, may feel thank.
ful now that the design of their association,
- the erection OF statue of Senator the Hon.
WIN. NJ. Tweed. in consideration of his servi.
ces to the Commonwealth of New York." was
never fulfilled. Some mems good reputc rests
chiefly upon want OF knowledge of their lives /;
others may commit great wrongs, even though
they have monument 10 sustain them in the
right, and still others may fall into errors
which, though harmless, will obliterate In
tickle popular favor all the substantial good
their lives may have wrought. The public
should not be 10 any haste 10 award the monu-
mental honors TO public men until time shall
have proved them 10 be worthy beyond doubt.

A FAIR SUGGEsTIoN.-A good story reaches
US from Scotland. 1t seems that in certain
Scotch country parish church officer filed
the Office of grave digger for the long space of
fifty years. Suspicion had long been enter
taned that he was in the habit of helping him
self out Of the collection plate whenever an op-
pcrtunity permitted. 1t was difficult, of
course, to prove this. The minister said,
Leave him to me, and I'll see what can be
done" The following Sabbath, after the fore
noon service, the minister was taking off his
gown and bands, and being alone in the vestry
with the suspected man he thought the oppor.
tunity was too good to be lost, so he said,
Andrew, have you heard Of the money that
is amissing from the boxP" "Oh, ay," said
Andrew, II was hearing something about it."
Andrew, continued the other very gravely,
the matter lies between you and me. We
are the only two who have access to the box.
Either you or | must be the thief deed,
sir, reioined the imperturbabIe Andrew, tits
just as you say; we're the only two that has
had access to the box, and l think the best
way'l be for you to pay the half and pay the
tither, and say nae mair aboot it. :"

NATHAN RoTHscHILD.-The Harper's
Monthly for January, Mr.. Junius Henri
Browne. contributes under the fanciful title
"The knights of the Red Shield, !"
a history of the Rothschild family, with por-
traits of its principal members. Those of our
readers who may not be millonaires will feel q
grim satisfaction in persuing the following,
which may serve to make them more contented
with their lot:
1.-THE wretchedly rich Nathan Rothschild
never went out alone after dark, never entered
an unlighted room, had servants within call of
his bed chamber, slept with loaded pistols
under his pillow.
IA fellow -Frankforter, dining with him one
evening and observing the luxury of his house
hold, remarked, you must be happy, baron,
with the power to crafty every wish.
" Happy indeed ! was the response. DO
you think it happiness TO be haunted always
by dread of murder, to have your appetite
for breakfast sharpened by threat to stab
you to the heart unless you enclose q thousand
guinness to some unknown villian?'
''On one occasion, when the great Gnancier
had been to an evening party, and had gotten
into his carriage to 20 home, friend, wishing
to make an appointment, stepped out to speak
to him. The timOrOus banker mistook his
familiar for highwayman, and thrust pistol
out of the carriage window, with his favOrite
cry of Murder / before he could be acquainted
with the situation"

IsHMAEL DAY.-Ishmael Day, one oil the
"Old Defenders" of Baltimore, died in that
city on Saturday, aged SS. Day was living on
farm in Baltimore county at the time of Gill
mors raid into Maryland in 1864, and he &C.
quired no little notoristy by shooting rebel
soldier who attempted to haul down United
States flag that foated over Days house. Soon
after this, Days house was burned down, and
he was subsequently appointed inspector in
the Baltimore Custom House, post which he
held until his death.

The Belief Of the Delaware People in the
efficacy of Hogging as punishment for certain
classes of crimes has the endorsement of dis
tinguished English Judge. Baron Pigott, in
delivering q charge to Grand Jury at the
Warwick Assizes recently, took occasion to say
that there was large increase in the number
drawing attention to this he added that his ex-
perience was that no punishment was so effica-
cious as that of fogging. He had noticed that
the most hardened criminals, who svinced no
emotion when penal servitude was mentioned,
showed signs of apprehension at the slightest
reference to Hogging. Ledger.

The MASSACHUSETTS LIQUOR LAw.-Our
New England contemporaries are dsvoting
considerable attention to the Massachusetts
Prohibitory Liquor Law, the revival of dis
cusson on that subject being caused by the
resignation of Mr. Martin Griffin, from the
State Police Commission, whose duty it is
to enforce the law. Mr.. Griffin, during his
connection with the Board. is said to have
made conscientious efforts to put the law into
effective operation, and has resigned because
he is convinced of its impracticability. In his
letter to the Governor, he writes that he is
fully convinced that the law, as it stands on
the statute book, is detrimental to the cause
of temperance, and that it leads 10 ineficiency
and corruption. He continues that q great
portion OF the time Of the Commission is spent
in the Investigation OF charges OF malfeasance
against the State Constabes whose duty it is
to enforce the act 10 different localities, aud
that his belief is strong that good license law
is the best means of arriving at the result now
desired by the temperance people. There
views, from one of the strongest advocates in
past time in the prohibitory law, have caused
our contemporaries to renew the discussion oil
the matter. In Boston, the police reports
seem to demonstrate vast amount of drunken
ness, showing that the use of spirituous
liquors is on the increase rather than the de
crease. Dealers 10 these make no complaints,
whilst. on the other hand, the brewers appear
to be the scapegoats of the law. Malt liquors,
being in bulky packages, Incapable Of elandes.
tine transportation, are easily discovered and
seized while the others are allowed compara-
lively free movement. Hence the sad exhibit
Of the Boston Police Courts. Ledger.
