- There has been another collision at He'll
Gate. If the people will 60 to New York by
that route they must suffer the consequences.
- Horatio Seymour thinks that time has
cured him of all political aspirations. We are
the specific remedy.
Peaches are afflicted with worms, and 1t is
thought If the people will eat plenty of them
this summer they can dispense with minee pies
entirely next winter.
= The Indianapolis Sentinel still holsters up
NJ. c. Kerr for the Speakership. That gentle
man will have to Kerry more general favor
before his chances can be called good.
= Poor Senator Booth. he begins to
weaken. He recently tainted at 'Truckee,
California, while endeavoring to tell his con-
stituents how he would enjoy being President.
OF course q Confederate general must
succeed Andy johnson to the Senate, and he
bears the suggestive name of Bate. He will
do some lively angling in the Democratic pool
next winter.
= The Memphis appeal wants the ex-rebel
chieftain Pillow to succeed Andrew johnson.
If there is anything in the world that would
tempt Andy back TO his mortality the success
sion of Pillow is that thing. -r
Now Jupiter and Venus are the observed
of all observers. Next week they will ap
proach within q degree of each other. This,
with another Beecher trial looming above the
horizon, is too much. Save US or we die.
= The Herzegovina instruction is one
month old, and still the hardy mountaineers
are making the Ottoman Empire tremble for
fear the little principally win sever the con-
Meeting link and stand an Independent people.
-"Current Topics" of the Rochester Demo-
era. wants to know whether anybody can tell
why the top stripe of the ladies' stockings now
in,,yogue Is invariably black? And still that
young man has hopes of heaven as his home.
- Next month JEFF. Davis viii tell the Win
nebago Agricultural Society what he knows
about working the soil and raising some apple
trees. If be could only tell them how 1t feels
to hang from the limb of one it would be worth
going to hear. o.; .7fg-. 100 g---- FE-B-st.|-. D
= 1t is believed that the cholera originated
at Mecca, and the pilgrims to the shrine upon
returning scatter the fatal disease widespread
through the world. Cholera morbus claims
no such pedigree. It simply points to the

the root from whence spring. - ~ :, ,

fence, and pull-bsck witches furiously over
the green sward and disappears into the house,
and everything is as quiet without as though
peace were the sovereign power on earth.
Some of the more timid Of the Northern
Democracy are denying that ex-Gov. Scott, Of
South Carolina, ever advocated the pay
ment Of the Southern Shareholders for their
emancipated slaves. He has migrated, bag
and baggage, over to the Bourbons, 50 there "a
no reason why he should not advocate that
policy.
. = Captain Pearce, who won the Queens
prize at Wimbledon, said: 81 believe I have
been allowed to win the prize because was
recently bold enough to admit myself a convert
to the truth of the Bible" That may all be
so, but there is old John Tnshefee, who has
been a convert for the past forty years, and he
can't hit the broadside of a barn.
"A charming romance is going the rounds
of the press about the marriage of Mr.. Trump
to Miss Kapp on q railroad train. It seems
that bis good looks and graceful ways
Trumped her in, and that she Kapped the
climax by consenting in less than an hour
after they first met. May their hands ever
be filed with little trumps and the ace Of
hearts be the winning card.
Should the Democrats triumph In Ohio
of which there is about as much probability
as there is of the suns going down in the
East-the entire South and West will be so
frantic and impressibly wild for imitation that
the Eastern Democracy will be as helpless in
their hard-money efforts as an infant mewling
and puking in its nurses arms.
1t never sprinkles but 1t streams-and to
prove it
The grasshopper arose at the dawn of spring
And put on his wings of flight;
While the beetle bug followed right soon in Its
And was eager to get the first bite.
Then the storms came down and the streams
And a food spread over the land;
And the beb-talled army worm tickled its nose
In the field of every man.
The Richmond Enquirer talks this way
about reconstruction 'Tf anything can be a
success which is conceived in sin and executed
through hate, malice and all uncharitableness,
then reconstruction can be regarded success.
Its whole history is marked by usurpation and
oppression. In the sacred name of liberty its
ministers plundered in the sacred name of
truth they lied in the sacred name of justice
they sanctiied crime and elevated wrongdoers
into political and legislative prominence"
And yet the mellow Gushers asseverate that
the South accepts the situation and Is over
flowing with good will towards their conquer
ors.

Ex-IEDIAN COMMISSIONER WIN. WELSH,
apparently envious of the distinction or
notoriety attained by "a Mr.. Marsh in his
tilt sgainst the present Indian board and
the Secretary of the Interior, has come to
the front with newspaper letter addressed
to THE President, In which he finds fault
with the latter for not seeing through his
Welsh spectacles. He thinks the President
should have run the Indians in accordance
with the dictations and opinions of the
Welsh board regardless of the views ofthc
Secretary or his Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. 1t is fortunate that we have q
President with mind of his own who
prefers to act upon his own judgment and
that of his chosen advisers in preference to
those Of unwise and inexperienced, self
elected reformers. It should be remem-
bered that the President has had much op-
portunitY for the examination of the Indian
character, and for observing the arts and
Vaccinations Of traders and would.be
traders; and enables him to direct his In.
dian policy with greater Intelligence and
wisdom than the noVices who presume "a

THE sons of Stephen A. Douglas, natives
of North Carolina aud permanent residents
there, are now to ''be known as negroes, /"
if the Raleigh NeIOs has its way. Every
man who voted against the Democracy at
the late election in that State will, accord
ing tc the same Democratic authority, here
after &c ostracized socially and CONNER
ciaIly. The logic of all this is that the
gushing and sloppy tourists" of the North,
referred to by Senator Morton, have by
their past acts incurred the came displeasure
at the hands of the heightened "recon-
structed' Southern Democrats in whose
embraces they propose to find conciliatory
evidence of fraternal love. Let US have
peace

SOME of the Yahoo Democratic journals
of the West are finding fault with Cover
nor Tilden because he has appointed his
nephew, Colonel Pelton, to be his private
secretary. They call this nepotism; but
Governor Tilden calls it selecting compe-
tent person to fill an important Office. The
next thing we hear, the poor fellow will be
characterized as another Cesar. What
with boils, trips to Long Branch, and
nephews, his life must be burdensome, and
there is no telling what he will be guilty of

OUR FRIEND GNAwDoFF, whilom South
ern correspondent of the New York Herald,
is in trouble again this time out West,
where it is reported that he fell into boil
ing geyser. For the sake of the hot water,
we hope this story is untrue; but if Gnawd-
off appreciated the bath as a premonition
of his future fate, it is, perhaps, as well that
the water his been sacrificed. A dose of
fresh, cold water would probably have

THE METRIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES.

The readiness with which our country.
men are making preparations to adopt the
metric system of weights and'measures is q
sure indication that the old-fashioned sys-
tenn will soon be classed among the things
obsolete. The adoption Of the system in
our large cities will decide the matter for
the country; and New York, Boston, Bal
timore, st. Louis, Brooklyn, Portland, and
hundreds of cities of 5000 population and
upwards, have made arrangements to use
it. A majority of the civilized nations have
adopted it, including France, Germany,
Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Austria,
Denmark, Brazil, Greece, &c. 1t was legal
lied in Great Britain in 1864; in Germany
in 1868, and compulsory after 1872 Itwas
legalized in the United States in 1866, and
it is thought that eight years is quite sufi-
Gent for preparation, and that its adoption
ought not to be any longer delayed; IN fact,
it is in use in the Coast Survey Office and
other important works Of the Government.
Naturally our architects, builders and engr-
neers are expected to take it up first, and
by agreement dsy-some months to come
can be determined upon when the old
system shall be laid wholly aside. Refer
ring to the metric tables, Charles Sumner
once said:
SIN this brief space you behold the whole
metric system Of weights and measures. What
q contrast to the anterior confusion | A boy
at school can master the metric system in an
afternoon. Months, II not years, are required
/ to store away the perplexities, incongruities
and inconsistencies OF the existing weights and
measures, and then the memory must often
fail in reproducing them The mystery of
compound arithmetic is essential in the calcu-
lztions which they require. All this Is done
away by the decimal progression, so that the
first four rules of arithmetic are ample for the
pupil"
The following are the tables, and they
contain all there is of the metric or decimal
system Of weights and measures:
MONEY.
10 mills make a cent.
10 cents make dime.
10 dimes make dollar.
10 dollars make an eagle.
LENGTH.

10 hecto-meters make kilameter.
10 k1lo-meters make myrtameter.
WEIGHTS.
10 milli-gram make q centigram.
10 cepti-grars make declgran.
10 deci-grams make gram.
10 grams make dekagram.
10 deka-graus make hectogram.
10 hecto-grSms make kllogram.
10 Kilograms make myrlagram.
CAPACITY.
10 milli liters make centiliter.
10 centiliters make Q deciliter.
10 deci-liters make q liter

HOW A LITTLE BOY DIED.

graph "Littlc Eddie Nyc, who was
run over by n fiat car last Friday oven,
ing and was so badly injured that no
died next morning, was IL rare bright
child, and one of the best children in
the city. Just before he died he sang
tThe Beautiful River with II voice as
sweet rs though he had caught the tones
from the other shore on the brink of
which his spirit was thon trembling.
After the song he repeated Il little pray
er which his mother. had taught him.
The child all his life had II lisp, but this
last prayer fell from his tongue without
a halt or Iuavcr, but rather steady and
clear, and yet with far'Of tone, us
though anOthcr's voice ofiniinitc sweet
ness had seized upon his lips IN tho
supreme moment, to leave an echo in
his ansuishcd mothers cars whicI,
should last a+ long as life. Sh, rily af-
ter the little prayer the sunny eyes
closed, and Eddie was gone. On Sun.
day his funeral attracted the whole ci-
ty, and there was not IL dry eye around
