THE WRoNo MAN.-The other night,
about eleven O'Clock, a German policeman
was making the round of his quiet beat,
when his attention was attracted by the
suspicious actions Of sprightly looking
young man who was lettering around q
house in I dark part Of street. The man
walked up and down In front of the
house . few minutes, when, finally
stopping under second STORY window, he
drew something from his pocket which
he raised to his mouth. Instantaneously
the dulcet strains Of ten cent
French horn began to pervade the
atmosphere, and attract notice and ex-
pressions Of surprise from every cat in
the vicinity. All at once window was
cautiously elevated, ahead thrust out and
asquickly withdrawn. The policeman got
interested, and clipping up to the side of
the house, and quite convenient to the
melodist, composed himself to watch
events. Not . football disturbed the &C.
fenity Of the occasion, but all at once the
hsavens seemed to have opened, and Z
deluge Of water descended from . win
dow, drowning out-not the musician,
but the policeman, who, a. soon Is he
could recover from the shock and the
bouhty Of water, shook himself, and said

The Laws Of Crowds.

The Springfield Mass.) Republican
thinks experience has furnished material
enough from which just . few of the laws
that govern human beings under panic
may be formalized. Its axioms are worthy
of consideration in every locality where
crowds arc likely to congregate.
1. It don't take big crowd to choke
= narrow passage. A hundred people
would do it as we'll as q thousand.
.. When people are piled en- masse in
. passage and tho building is afre, there
will be more corpses taken out of the pile
than living beings. Human beings die
quick under those circumstances.
8. 1t doesn't take . big crowd to block
door that opens inward 50 snug that
there il no more passage than there is
through brick wall. The strength of
frenzied men and women avails nothing
against door.
4. 1t is the exits which are in con-
slant use by the whole body of the public
which are of use at such times. No
others arc Of practically much conse-
quencc. Back passages and private en-
frances might almost as we'll not be. The
frantic do not know of them and cannot
be taught them in this world.
8. The barrencst and safest places may
be converted into tinder-boxes by very
trivial circumstances. Churches which
are safe enough commonly may be deco
rated murderously. Even our barren City
Hall Was converted, not long ago, into a
wilderness of painted canvas and flaring
lights, miniature city, among which
circulated many hundreds of people. 1t
was death-trap. A hall or . church
which may be safe enough with stove
may become death-trap by the introduc-
ton of furnace under the stairways.
9. presence of mind" may as we'll be
counted out As saving element. We
can make over our churches, we can't
make over men and women; it is pretty
evident by this time that We can't make
men and women to fit the churches and
be sure of their surviving the process.

The argument OF the applicant is that the
sundry Civil Appropriation bill, into which
the amendment increasing the rate on third
class mail matter was inserted, was not a bill
for revenue; that the amendment did provide
ways and means for raising revenue; that the
Senate has no constitutional authority to
originate measures for that purpose, that be-
ing the sole prerogativc Of the House; and
that the postal amendment having originated
with the Senate and grated on, the bill was
not ons for revenue purposes, and is uncon-
stitutional.

A BRIEF HISTORY.

About twenty-five years ago, young
mechanic, in Boston, overheard the re-
mark that fortune awaited the inyen-
tor Of a Sewing Machine. This aroused
and directed his inventive faculties; a
spell was upon him, which he could not
resist His brains and hands were
busy with needles and threads aud 9TH
err devices, contriving stitches for sew
ing and mechanism for making them
He finally fixed upon what is known as
the "Lock stitch" as best for forming
seams 10y machinery, and devised the
mechanism for it.
This young mechanic is world-f famous
as ELIAS HOWE, JR., TO whom, in
the language of Judge Sprague, Of the
United States Circuit Court, for all the
benefits conferred upon the public by
the introduction of the Sewing Machine,
the public is indebted. He was not
content to stop with his first success
While he licensed others to engraft
their improvements upon his invention,
he busted himself in developing the Ma
chine. In its present shape the highest
premium was awarded to it at the Ex-
position Universelle, Paris, 1867. j. p.

THE VANITY OF PoLITIcs.-The Hon.
Albert g. Brown, of Mississippi, re-
Gently wrote letter to a young friend,
wherein be laments that he ever made
a political speech or held an Office. Ex-
Governor Brown was for thirty-three
years, previous to 1865, continually IN
high official and political station, and
would therefore seem. to have had as
extensive and favorable an experience
as any of his contemporaries and asso-
ciates. We quote as follows
True, as you say, / held many offices.
Indeed, may say that | never knew
defeat in any Of my aspirations. And
it is Just because ] had success which
the people call wonderful that | feel
competent to administer word Of eau
ton to the yoang men of this genera
ton. Ny young friend, do not be de-
ceived by the glitter Of Office. am
now past my three score years, and am
fast travelling into the ten. / have had
almost every Office in the gift Of the
people, and / can truly say with the
preacher 1T is all vanity and yexation
Of spirit"
Looking back over long and hope
not unsuccessful life, can say with
clear conscience, my greatest regret is,
that / ever made a political speech or
held an Office There is fascination
10 Office which beguiles men; but be as
surcd, my young friend, it is the fasci-
nation Of a serpent, or to change the
figure, il is the igaes fataus which coaxes
YOU on to inevitable ruin. / have this
to say, after all my success as public
man, now when my head is blossoming
for the grave, feel that it would have
been better for me il / had followed
the occupation Of my father, and been
"a farmer.
The mechanic arts are all honorable.
To be blacksmith, a carpenter, or an
artisan Of any kind, is no diseredit to
any man. Better that than be black
leg lawyer, a quack doctor, counter
hopper, or vorse still, Wretched seek
err after Office. OF all pursuits in life
that Of farmer is the most respeeta-
bic. 1t may have its trials and its dis
appointments; so do all others. Tho
mechanic may lose the wages of his Ia
Dor, the professional man his fees, the
editor may weep over delinquent sub
scribers; but the honest, Industrious
farmer is morally certain Of a fair re-
turn for his labor. True, Paul may
plant and Apolos water, but God must
rive the increase" But whore is the
faithful cultivation Of the soil, Gods
heritage to man, who over yet suffered
for bread? Allow me again to eau
ton my young friends against the be-
guilng influence Of office, and to advise
them most earnestly to stick to mother
earth.

How McGINg1s Wov. A man whom
/ will call McGinnis, says Max Adeler,
represents a county in the State Sen.
ate Of Pennsylvania. He is 4 Republi.
can and be was elected by large ma
iority, although bis county hitherto
has always gone Democratic Every
body was amazed 30 find that it had
elected Republican candidate, and no
body could understand the reason for
il. When McGinuis came TO Harris
burg, ! happened TO meet him, and l
asked him how it was. He said
Now, ] don't mind tellin' you how
/ worked that thing, but don't want
you TO give no away on it. It's Sc
crct When I was nominated, saw
at once that had no chance Of gettin'
elected il the thing was run on square
basis. Douney. my opponent, was a
Democrat an church member, an if
I'd JOS laid low an done nothin', he'd
ay skeeted into the Senate like a
snowslide into q valley. You know
that when people can't possibly get a
thing, that's the very thing they want
wuss than anything on this year earth.
Now, you can't build railroad IN my
county anyhow you fix it. Thnre's
nothin' up Their but hills an noun
tains, an you might as well try to bore
hole through the AIleganies with bar
Of soap as TO construct a railroad over
them hills, consequently, the people ia
les wild TO have a railroad in the eour-
ty, because it's impossible. Well, sir,
les before election / hired gang OF
bout eight hundred men, an / bought
lot Of chains and glasses, an them
instruments that surveyors use, an
putty soon had lot Of fellers layin'
out a line Of railroad through every gar
den, an back yard, an pertater patch
in the county. When gang would
bust through fence an git TO work,
the farmer'd come runnin' out an hol-
lerin' "What in the thunder are you
fellers doin'?" an the men they'd say
'What are we dom Why, we re lay
in out the line of old McGinnis rail
road. Haven't you heard about it?'
Then the farmer'd go in an say to bis
wife; Maria, Tn democrat, but Tn
gon' to vote for old McGinnis. Why
gosh he's buildin' a railroad right
through our garden. Wen be worth 2
million when it's done" That's how
the old thing worked. When the cleo
ton came / scooped the SenatorshiI
