jority.. 1t is scarcely possible to believe
that such thing has happened in a free
country, where the people are supposed
to -rule directly and absolutely. That
such 4 pieceof ccspotism could be per
petrated is i'm outrage upon popular
rights and scandal upon ouf ;institu-
tions too gross for patient discussion.
The Baltimore Nea0s -saysi -i. =, -.
"A mere arbitrary assumption the
world never witnessed, and if yester.
days excesscs do not open the eyes OF
the American people to the drift of their
political institutions, they will not
arouse from their indifference even
though one rose from the dead to warn
them. A State Legislature insulted and
organized under military dictation-a
State actually under martial law by an
usurping Governor--and yet the war
with its magazine of excuses is ten
years in the distance"
The Philadelphia Chronicle says: s

favorable or uniavorable. in regard to
the great wrong in Louisiana. Its dou-
Bile loaded paragraph is just as tame al

worthy the attention of the Legislature,
and it will be perused with interest and
profit by every intelligent citizen of the

of the State tax upon real estate, and
very properly charges the existing de.
preston of trade to the fact that the
currency Of the country is of a huctuat.

The usurpation at Washington -has
gone far enough. 1t is time that the
people should rise in their might and
condemn it everywhere, in town meeting
and by legislative resolves. What was
done in New Orleans on Monday may be
repeated next year in any Of the States
With q tyrant like Grant at Washington
and another like Phil Sheridan in power
ready to do his bidding, no State is safe
Usurpation must be put down, or thI
people will be trodden under foot here
as they have been in the South. Illinois
has already taken action and we hops
her example will be followed by othel

IELL-TALE LIPs.-I have observed
that lips become more or less contracted
In the course of years, in proportion as
they are accustomed TO express good hu-
NOR and generosity, or ill-temper and IA
narrow mind. Remark the effect which
moment of ill-temper and grudginess
has upon the lips and judge what may be
the result of habitual series of such
movements. Remark the reverse, and
make similar judgment. The mouth is
the frankest part Of the face; it can't
conceal in the least its sensations. We
cannot hide ill-temper with it nor good.
We may affect what we please, but affect
alton will not help us. In wrong cause
it will only make our observers resent the
endeavor to impose on them. The mouth
is the seat of one class of emotion, as the
eyes are of another or rather it express
es the same emotions, but in greater de-
tail and with more irrepressibe tenden-
cy to be in motion. 1t is the region OF
smiles and of trembling tenderness of
sharp sorrow, or of breathing joy /;
Of candor, of reserve, of anxious care, or
liberal sympathy. The mouth, out of its
many sensibilites, may be tancied send
ing up one great expression into the eye
-=as many lights in city reflect broad
lustre into the heavens. .-Let9h Hunt.

A CLEVER TRICK. - The mercurial
dexterity with which some cunning vic
tins Of circumstance manage to slip out
of their awk ward fix is often as amusing
as it is wonderful. The LeUant Herald
relates the following story:
Kssim Pasha, when Minister of War
for Egypt, was very particular in regard
to the personal appearance of his officers,
and issued stringent orders that they
should never appear unshaven in public,
One day he met upon the streets a Lieut.
enant who had bearded the Pesha, and
disregarded his order.
ITO what regiment do lou belong ?"
demanded the indignant Minister.
To the - regiment at Abassueh," "
responded the frightened Lieutenant.
"Get into my carriage at once, so that
can carry you to the encampment, and
have you publicly punished" was the
stern command.
The young man obeyed, and the twain
rode along gloomily enough for some time,
when the Pasha stopped his carriage and
entered q shop for few moments, to
make some trifing purchase. Selling
the oppo tunity, the culprit sprang from
the vehicle, darted into neighboring
barber's stall, and regained his post before
the return of the jailor, minus his beard.
For the remainder of the route the officer
buried his face in his hands, and seemed
the picture of apprehension. Abassueh
was reached at last, and all the officers
were assembled to witness the degrada-
ton of their comrade, who all the while
kept we'll in the rear Of his chief.
"Come forward, you son of a dog 7"
cried the irate Pasha, when there stepped
before an officer man with face as
clean as baby's, and a look Of the most
supreme innocence.
His Excellency gave one long look OF
astonishfi1ent, and then, with an appreci-
ative smile breaking over his war-worn
features, turned to the assembled officers
and said
"Here, gentlemen, your old Minister
is a fool, and your young Lieutenant is a
captain"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-12-04

Cold FEER-A great deal of the ill
health of women is now attributed to the
kind of shoes generally worn. DR.. Smith,
in his Treatise on Health, says
There is neither health nor comfort in
cold feet, as too many women know only
too we'll. They are the fertile parents of
no end of discomfort and il-health. The
avoidance, then, of colo feet is one OF the
most direct steps to the Improvement of
the health. For such end to be attained +,
the shoes must be fairly substantial and
not of too soft and porous leather.
Women's boots and shoes are largely
made Of leather tanned with terra japon-
lea, which is far inferior to leather tanned
with bark, especially as regards the
forms the soles OF all cheap boots, to
which class women's boots so exclusively
belong. When, then, such boots are
placed on wet fagstone, or on damp
roads, the leather becomes moist and
then the feet become cold at once. Leather
when dry is very bad conductor Of heat,
and so a stocking and a leather shoe are
sufficient protection for the feet in climates
SO cold that furs are requisite for the
clothing: when wet, however, heat is
quickly conducted off, and so the damp
leads directly to cold feet. Any one who
has lived much in the saddle knows the
difference felt by the wet foot and the
dry foot in reference to the iron stirrup in
cold weather; when the boot is dry the
stirrup is not felt, that is, as regards the
sensation of heat and cold, but let the
foot be put where the boot becomes moist,
and then the stirrup is felt quickly and
distinctly enough. For delicate women
who are very susceptible to cold feet, the
boots should be stout and large enough to
admit Of a cork sole. More particularly
is such precaution necessary where there
is a clay soil this remains damp for days
after rain has ceased, and strikes cold to
the feet when looking temptingy dry,
consequently stout boots are absolutely
necessary on such soils.

THE GooD OLD TIMEs.-Somebody,
writing of the habits of people Of olden
times, says that washing now bug
bear in every household, does not seem to
have been much of an institution in the
days of our great grandmothers. Indeed
we are forced to the conclusion, mortify-
ing as it is, that they were not cleanly in
their personal habits. Linens and cottons
that can be washed were not popular in
England two centuries and half ago.
Velvets, taffetas and rich silks were in the
middle ages often worn by the wealthy,
without any undertaking. The posses
sion of linen shirt, even with the highest
mobiles, was a matter of note and but few
wardrobes contained them. Under the
Tudors night-gowns were worn, though
they had not been before, but they were
formed mostly of silk or velvet, so that
no washing was required
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-12-04

THE LANGUAGE OF CoLORs.-The fol-
lowing is said to be the French method
of the meaning attached to colors, but it
appears to us to smack rather more of the
laboratory than of sentiment. They hold
out that violet is analogous to friendship,
blue to love, as suggested by blue eyes
and azure sky. A bunch of vioets would
therefore tell lady's suitor that friend
ship is all he has right to expect. 9el-
low is paternity or maternity it is the
yellow ray of the spectrum that causes
the germ to shoot. Red figures ambi-
ton indigo, the spirit of rivalry green,
the love of change, fckleness, but also
work orange, enthusiasm white, unity,
universally; black, favortism, the infiu-
ence exerted by an individual. Certain
persons have the gift of fascinating all
who approach them and black, which
absorbs all the rays of the spectrum, is
the reverse of white, which combines
them in one. Besides the seven primitive
colors, gray indicates poverty; brown,
prudery pink, modesty ; silver gray
(semi-white), feeble love; lilac (pale vio-
lett, feeble friendship; pale pink, false
shame
