Moral courage is . big thing.
All the good papers advise
every body t6 have moral cour-
age. All the almanacs wind
|up with a word about moral
courage. The Rev. Murray,
and the Rev. Collyer, and the
Rev. Sptirgeon, and lots Of
other reverends tell their cons
| lgregations to exhibit moral
courage in their dialy life.
| Moral courage doesn't cost a
cent; everybody can ill up
with it till he can't eat half q
dinner after going without
breakfast.
| "Have the moral courage to
discharge a debt while you have
| the money in your pocket, !" is
one OF the moral paragraphs.
| Mr.. Mower read this once.
and determined to act upon it.
One day his wife handed him
five dollars, which she had been
1.-TWO years saving, aud asked
him to bring her up q parasol
and a pair of CATERS. On the
way down he met q creditor
and had the Courage to pay
|him. Returning home his wife
called him 157 900 pet names
as "fool." s'idiot,'' etc, and
then struck him four times IN
the pit of the stomach with q
lflat-iron. After that be didn't
have SO much courage as would
make q leaning post for q sick
lgrasshopper, and his wife didn't
forgive him for thirteen years.
"Have the courage to tell q
man why you refuse to credil
him" is another paragraph
That if you keep q store and
old Mr.. Putty comes in and
wants a pound Of tea charged,
i you must promptly respoud:
sMr. Putty. your credit al
this store isn't worth the pow
i der to blow . musqnito over
| tow-strings. You are q fraud
of the first water, Mr.. Putty
and I wouldn't trust ron for 1
! herriDg's head if herrlngs wert

! Mr.. Putty will never ask so,
for credit again, and you have
the consciousness Of having
performed your duty. J.

ways slept on an iron camp
bedstead eighteen inches wide.
"When q man wants to turn
over,'' he said, sit is time for
him to turn out:" The Empe-
ror Nicholas did the same, Mr..
Owen says. The principle is
well enough; but 1 think the
detail is wrong. Sleep itself
lis far too important to be made
uncomfortable. Ny old friend
Rossiter fixed his alarnm so
that, at the fofe-ordained mo-
ment, the bed CLOTHES were
dragged from the bed, and
Rossiter lay shiyering. Ihave

moment appointed, lift the
pillow end six feet, and deliver
the sleeper on his feet on the
now horizontal footboard. He

that.
Rossiter found another con
trivance which worked better.

The Milwaukee News gives
its readers this bit of seasona
BILE advice: aGetting up in a
cold room to make q fire is
like getting upin life. II you
crawl timidly out of bed, go
tip toe to the stove, and allow
the shisers to get control oi
you before the kindling starts,
your fire will probably be a
failure, and you will freeze
half to death il the operation.
But if you jump out bravely,
and hustle around, pull on
your clothes, knock over a
chair or two, and pitch in the
stove wood, you will prob badly
be too warm by the time the
fire gets to burning, and have
to open the window. So il
life. Attack it timidly, and
you will fail. Grapple with it
hurry mp things, stir around
conquer fortune, and you viii.
be a success.

man. 1t seems to us the bill should be
entitled, a Bill to resume specie pay
ments and to show how not to do it."
But this is not all of this transparent
humbug and fraud The bill nowhere pro-
vides for the destruction, or prohibits the
re issue, OF these $S2 900 900 oflegal tenders
which are to be replaced by the $102, 800,
900 of new notes. On the contrary, when
Mr.. Bavard called attention to this fact,
and offered an amendment to prevent the
the issue of these $50 100000 of legal
tenders, Mr.. Sherman refused to accept it.
And when asked if he thought the Sccre
tary of the Treasury could not, under the
provisions of the bill, reissue this amount,
he declined to answer further than say
Thus our readers will see that there is
nothing to prevent this So, 100000 being
again put into circulation. Thus this
miserable swindle actually initiates our al
ready inflated currency $20,500,o00 and
may cause it to be inflated $102, 100000,
which would make the whole amount IN

next four years, $685., 100000, whilst at the
beginning of Grants first term we had

The Finance Bill.

AS we said some time ago, the Finance
bill recently passed by Congress, and
which has been signed by the President is
the most transparent humbug of the age.
Instead of being financial measure, seri-
ously considered and acted upon for the
relief of the present depressed condition
of national prosperity, it is a mere cleo
pioneering dodge, passed solely in the in
terest of the Republican party and with
the hope of withdrawing from it some of
the weight of opprobrium which has just
ay attached to it, as the party of rag
money and imitation. The measure itself
was concocted in a caucus of the party
and then presented in the Senate by Mr..
Sherman and forced to vote without al
lowing amendment or debate on 1t. 1t
was passed by a strict party vote, every
Republican, voting for it, except one or
two, who, like Mr.. Sprague and Mr.. Upton,
refused to go into caucus Or to be bound by
its acts. This fact alone ought to be suffi-
Gent to satisfy every man who can see be-
Tond his nose that there must be something
wrong about it-something that would not
bear investigation or discussion in the light
of day. And when the further fact is recol-
fected, that Republicans of all shades OF
CONGRATULATIONS and hard-money
zen alike voted for IFS adoption without

Southern Maryland Railroad,

In the House Of Representatives on Monday
Nr. Archer introduced bill, which proposes
that the United States shall guarantee the bonds
OF the Southern Maryland Railroad to the ex-
tent of $50, 900 per mile, said bonds to run for
thirty years, bearing interest at five per cent.
payable semi-anually in gold. The company
to secure the Government by deed of trust
upon all is property, and charges for the trans
portation of troops, &c, for the Government
and for Carrying the mails to be collected by
the Secretary to pay the coupons and create a
sinking fund for the final liquidation of the
bonds. The Star advocates the passage of the
bill, and sets forth the advantages to be deriv-
ed by the completion of the Southern Maryland
Railroad 1t says
1t furnishes a line Of rapid communication to
the ocean, at all seasons of the year, and in
that respect, as vel as affording close connec-
ton with the military posts and the navy yard
at and near Norfolk will be of great advantage
to the Government. AS II line of cheap and
rapid transportation at all seasons of the year
it will undoubtedly prove of great advantage
to the industrial interests of W aShngton. The
present effectual blockade of this city by ice,
and the large fleet Of vessels lying in the lower
Potomac, unable to reach ther destination,
thus paralyzing every branth 81 business, pre-
scnts an argument that cannot fail to have its
effect upon Congress. The single fact that this
road will furnish at all seasons of the year I'M
INSTRUCTED access to the seat of government
would seem to establish the propriety and wis
dom of granting the aid asked. The great ad-
vantagcS resulting from lis construction to the
merchants and to every industrial pursuit with
in this District renders it the duty of every
citizen to urge its passage by every proper
means. There can he risk in granting this
aid, As the guarantee is not TO be given until
the road is completed and in running order
thus all the safeguards are thrown around it to
prevent the possibility of loss. It's 70 be hoped
for the interests OF this District. individual as
vel rs governmental, that the measure will be
adopted.

The Maryland Agricultural College.

At recent meeting of the Trustees of the
Maryland Agricultural College it WAS resolved
to dispense with the chairs Of Ancient and
Modern Languages, that of Chemistry and
Natural Sciences, and that of Agriculture, fill
ed respectively by b. Lorino, LII. D.; Prof.
K. D. Williams, and Prof. II. Hutton, whose
resi- gnatiuns were invited within the next sixty
days. The salary of the President, General
Jones, was reduced from s., 500 to 81, 500,
and that of Prof. Worthington, Principal OF
tn" Preparatory Department. from 81 800 to
81 200 per annum. The college IS in arrears
some 81, 900, and the retrenchment has been
rendered necessary on that account and in con-
sequence OF the present limited patronage Of
the institution.
4 resolution WAS also adopted admitting
students who may apply for special instruction
ut the rate of $40 per month. 1t is the de-
sign of the Board TO make the college one of
instruction especially in those sciences relating
TO agriculture.

the Conservatives of Louisiana meet them as
they met the Foster Committee, throwing wide

NAV seem hopeless, when we remember that
the result of one of the filireSt and fullest in
vestigations of the day has been set aside by
these investigators, Simply because i, did not
