ing in the same condition as this time
last year, but does not think the cir.
cumstances would justify any intoler
ance on the part Of the United States
either by recognition Of the indepen.
dence of the insurgents, or the accord
to them OF beligerent rights. He
stands ready, however, at all times to
use his good offices with the contend
ing parties for the resto alton of peace.
The Alabama claim commission has
made good progress during one year,
but rs it will not be possible for all
the claims to be fully passed upon by
the 2lst of January, when the time
expires for which it was legally coo
stituted, n shor; extension of the time
is recommended.
A special court for the consldera-
ton Of the claims of aliens upon our
government is next suggested, and
then follows Il lengthy essay upon
ocean telegraphy, the "ano"! Of which
is, that there shall be reciprocity of
rights, as to the termini with all coun
tries with whom we connect by cable
telegraph; that there shall be no mo-
nopoly or exclusive privileges granted;
and TINT government messages shall
have prevalence Of ordinary despatch
es. Congress is next urged 10 take
cognlzance Of the fact that frequent
cases OF fraudulent naturalization and
expectation occur, and about such et,
tective measures as will meet the ends
OF justice. The condition Of Amer
can women, who marry foreigners is
subject also upon which the president
thinks some legislation is needed, and
there should be, in his opinion, some
statute provisions to define the status
OF children born abroad Of American
parents, and to give effect to the legal
marriages of American parents in for
eign countries Upon the question Of
resumption OF specie payments the
president reiterates his formerly ex-
pressed opinions, and he expressed the
hope that congress will at tho earliest
day Insure the contamination Of the
act Of the last congress to bring about
the return of specie payments on the
lst Of January, 1879. That a tax on
tea and coffee will give IN income o.
SlS,000,O00 i year TO the treasury,
and without costing the CONSUMERS
any more than at present, he advises
that these articles shall b. taken from
the free list.
In regard to the post-otfice depart
ment, he suggests that all merchandise.
other than books and newspapers,
shall be excluded from the main en-
tirely. The message barrel y alludes to
Indian affairs and the patent office,
and upon the public lands, nothing
new is suggested. The centennial
celebration seems to him worthy of
government aid, and he commends the
estimates of the board OF commission
ers to the favorable attention Of CON
gress. Definite legislation tc suppress
polygamy in Utah appears to him de-
sirable, and the importation of Chi
nese women he regards as an evil to
be abated by law. The message adds
but little to the stock of the public
knowledge of the affairs of the coun-
try, and shows remarkable reticence
in regard to some Of the most impor-
tant measures that will occupy the at.
tention Of the present congress.

THE LIGHT RUNNING DOMESTIC"
The s.DOucsfic.,

The DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machine in all its parts and processes. 1t is
easily understood familiarity with IL action is
very quickly acquired, and IT needs htrdiy any
practice of special skill in the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in hc "Do-
MEsTIC'' are mainly:
!. Light Running.
9. Ouietness--no Cams or Gear Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch--Double-thread Lock Sttch.
t. Durability--arising from Simplicity OF Con-
struction.
s. Absence of all Friction.
6. Great range of Work.
z. Ease Of Operation.
We do not say that the domestic" IS the oni y
Machine worthy of public favor. we admit
there are some possessing real and acknoW-
lodged merit but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the domestic has many
excelences that render it decidedly superior 10
ann other Machine now before the public.
Let every woman. therefore, examine Tor her
self into its merits when she buys macllne.
This is an important purchase, not TO be tare-
lessly made one that will influence her tom-
fort, probably for a long time. With ''DodEs-
TIC'' in her possession, she will find her sewing
become pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead Of a slow manual drudgery she will have
the time and strength to add beauty and elegance
| TO work in which before she has been Obliged to
/ content herself with bare utility.

A Touching Story.

A drunkard, who had run through his
returned one night to his unfn-
isbed home. He entered his empty hall.
Anguish was gnawing at his heart-strings,
and language was inadequate to express his
agony as he entered his wifes apartment,
and there beheld the victims of his appetite
"a loving wife and a darling child. Mo-
rose and sullen he seated himself, without
word he could not speak-hs could not
look upon them. The mother said to the
little boy at her side:
Come, my dear, it is time to go to bed y
and the little baby, as usual, knelt by her
lap, and, gazing wistfuly into the face of
her suffering parent like piece ofchiseled
statuary, slowly repeated her nightly orison.
When she had finished, the child but four
years old, said to her mother: Dear moth
or, may | offer one more prayerFI
" Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray"
"Oh, God, spare, Oh, spare my dear
papa
That prayer was lifted with electric rap
dity to the throne ofGod. IL was heard on
high; it was heard on earth. The response
Amen ~ burst from the father, and his
heart of stone became a heart offesh. Wife
and child were both clasped 10 his bosom
and in penitenee he said;
Ny child, you have saved your father
from drunkards grave

A Good Hope.

Hope is the winged spirit which Is
always singing to us out of heaven of a
possible which Is better than any pos
tive, the standing contradiction to the
proverb all the ages cry shame on, that
a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush. There is no heart-whole man
or woman on this earth, to-day, who
can truly say that hope come to such
fruition rs earth and time allow ever
began to be so good as the shy, sweet
glow of hope newly risen. This, at
least, has certainly been my own ex-
perience. My one imI erial blessing
all my life has been certain eager,
tremulous unlocking. Few men have
had happier fortune than has fallen
to my lot but If that could be which
God has saved us from in his infinite
love-if an angel from heaven could
say "Nou can come into fruition at
once begin again at fifteen, aud have
every slightest wish instantly fulfilled
no waiting for a place until you are
thirty-six-nO weary march toward
oasis year after year, hut fruition at
once aud forever, which will leave no
room for autici patton, and no need IL
| would beg of heaven TO save me from
such fate as that, and give me still
the old, blessed, buoyant hope that is
not seen. And so | say to you, young
men and women who have still To fight
your way, and wonder many u time
what will come of the fight, | know
10 more than you do how to answer
that question, no more than L know
how To answer it for myself; but this !
know, that, ifyou can hold on to real,
pure hope, and follow its leading, that
is treasure the fruition can never equal
between this and the foot of the great
white throne. But il il clear To me
that this blessed belonging of life must
rest again on these sure foundations {:
First, true faith in God, and second,
a true endeavor in ourselves. For, as
the farmer would be fool indeed If he
BEGAN to plant his corn and expect his
blossoms in November, or If, in these
early summer days, he sat on the stoop
and said, Here is summer again Ma
ture is stirring; she knows what to do ;
l need not care; things will come all
right without my trying; | shall have
all want and hope for :" aud as he is
only wise when he seizes on the right
instant, and, with that on his side,
which means to the farmer that heaven
is on his side, bestrs himself and puts
his whole manhood to the task OF
making his hope come true, SO in our
whole life this truth holds good and
can never be neglected, or our hope
will be false and vain. There are hosts
of men and women who indulge in the
most winsome dreams of fair and
good future, and begin at last to try
for it, when there is no more sense IN
their trying, for this world at least
than there would be in planting corn
the last of July, and trying for crop

The Immediate Business Future.

On this subject the new September
book of the Mercantile Agency Of Dun,
Barlow d Co., Of New York, ON the
immediate business future, has the fol-
lowing:
Whether the expectations which
have been entertained of an improved
condition of trade Tor the present year
are to be realized ar not, the next nine
ty days will determine. That these
hopes of revival have not been san
guine is true, but the disappointment
which may follow their nOn-fulfill-
ment will be none the less serious.p
After dwelling upon the importance
of the crop movement to the recovery
of business the same authority goes on
to say:
Though it may take many months
to realize this wealth, the operation by
which that realization will be carried
forward ought room be manifest, and
the probable result pretty definitely
anticipa ell. IL is undeuiable that
there exists now very uncertain and
| feverish condition of things that bust
ness in frs bands is almost at a stand
still, aud tat to induce purchases
! something Is needed more tangible
than bright prospects, which have too
often proved delusive. We are, there
fore, on the eve of most important
aud critical season in the commercial
history of the country, and close OBJ

weeks will Htf 'rd. ~
