TWeed's Faithful Wife.

They were married when the man
was chairmaker, and they might have
had a happy career had the former re-
manned honest. They lived plainly,
mingled with mechanics society, and
were the parents of two boys and two
girls, good looking and healthy child
rcn. The ETA of their unmeritoriOus
splendor has come and gone like a
dream. Each had diamond wedding
and each has stink into obscurity and
poverty. The two sons once held fine
appointments IN the service OF the Ring,
but are now only topnging around the
city hall. The mother is III q willows
desolation. The ilI-gotten wealth is
almost all gone. A million and half
has passed into the iian,t. of her law
yers, and her husband is still a pris6fier:
a seedy and corpulent old man, inhab-
ting pair of rooms in Ludlow street
Jail, is all that is left cf one who has
been alderman, congressman, clair
maker and lawyer, commissioner of
parks, public buildings and docks, state
senator, and for seven years autocrat
of this city. The only redeeming
feature is the faithful wife, who is re-
ducing herself to poverty in hope of
obtaining her husbands telease.-Neao

HumOr in the Political Arena.

In congress, as at the bar, to acquire
eminence something more is needed
than knowledge of current politics.
Since the war there are complicated
and added federal relations. To COM
pass these implies that a member should
| know something about everything. He
should be especially informed about
matters of his committee. The parlia-
mentary conflict can not be won by
small arms alone, but by infantry, cav
airy and artillery. The mere crossroads
stumper generally becomes a yearling
congressman, that is, Il member with
one term of service; for in his last
session, being beaten the previous au-
| tumn, he is a mortuary monument.
The survivors are the men who hold
the house by making their minds an
arsenal for every weapon. They are
accomplished, or should be, in physics,
metaphysics, ethics, history, philosophy,
and, above all, in pertinent facts. To
omit the slath" of satire and humor in
the close encounter, which is lissom and
sharp only as it is well tempered in all
these streams, is to leave the prince out
of the play.
This good temper has become indis-
pensable since the enlargement Of the
hall in 1857. 1t is the attractive ele-
ment. 1t is so especially since the
recent increase of the number of mem
bers. The most weighty, or rather the
best, speech is listened to with fatigue
unless there be an occasional smart
double ente,,dre, tart retort, tickling
piquancy, personal point or pertinent
fact. That which draws most, which
empties the members seats to fill the
area in front of speakers desk, is the
bellicose. 1t is this which, like Il dog
fight, will break up any deilberation.
If it takes the form of a perional eX-
PLANTATION, it is more welcome. The
attraction consists in the capability of
wrath joined to the felicities of fun.
The men who make our humor in
and out of congress are the favOrites
of the people. We give them pet
names. Corwin, Douglas, Butler, Lin
coin, all had these aiiectionate free
doms extended to them by their sup
porters or enemies, just as =" Little
Johnny" cod PAM" Dizzy" and
others in England had them. They
were associated with something ocular.
Lord RussslPs crisp scorn and DisraelTs
epigrammatic sneer helped to mold

BIGOTRY IN TRADE.
The Comnserciai AsamdiAg Of the Isrsr.

Rncc>
A weekly contemporary sees fit 10
make recent failures in the dry goods
market the text for a homiiy on the
trade morals of Hebrew merchants.
For our own part, we are unable to see
the sense of classifying merchants, or
Judging their honesty, by their religious
creeds, Experience does not warrant
the conclusion that trade honor has any
very direct dependence on private be-
liefs; and it is therefore as gratuitous
as it is invidious to charge that failures
and bad settlements belong to one class
or sect more than another. When in
situations of this kind are made, the
insinuators need TO institute a little self
investigation; for there is reason enough
to suspect that religious bigotry-the
most petty aud angenerous of all sins
has got the better of them. The truth
Is that the worst of recent failures must
be sought outside the class THUS stig-
matized. The Hebrews, we presume,
make Us many bad failures as any other
class; but, II FOR this they are to be
held up for exclusive censure, it would
seeni 10 imply that they are to be
judged by higher moral standard than
others; to which we must demur. If,
however, the Jewish religion alone must
be held responsible for the trade sins
of its disciples, in all fairness let it have
the credit of the large majority who
are innocent of such transgressions.
Our merchants do not need to be told
that, among the merchants and bankers
of this city, Hebrews occupy no sec
ondary position for honor and pfobity.
Indeed, if among so much false bigotry
the truth may be spoken, in proportion
to their numerical standing the world
over, there is no other class that APP
proaches this in its wealth and its COM
mercial and financial power. Provi-
dence has taken care that this sort of
success shall not come of dishonesty;
and with such an implied endorsement,
~be Hebrews may afford to feel indiffer-
ent to the sort of filings in which our
contemporary indulges. -Ne,o York

The MYSTERY OF MUsIc-I would
fain know what music is. L seek 1t as
Il man seeks eternal wisdom. Yester-
day evening, walked late in the moon
light in the beautiful avenue of lime
trees on the bank of the Rhine, and [
heard tapping noise and soft singing.
At the open door of cottage under
the blooming lime tree, sat a mother
and her twin babies the one lay on her
breast, the other in a cradle, which she
rocked with her foot, keeping time to
her singing, In every germ, then,
when the first trace of life begins to stir,
mnsis is the nurse of the soul it muir
murs in the ear, and the child sleeps;
the tones are the companions of his
dreams; they are the world in which
he lives. He has nothing; the babe,
though graded in his mothers arms, is
alone in the spirit; but tones find en-
trance into the half-conscious soul and
nourish it as the earth nourishes the
life of plants.

POe'S Final Grave.

Speaking of the unwilling Of the
monument to Edgar A. Poe, which, as
it is at last arranged, will take place
on the 18th inst, the Baltimore Amer
lean says:
"The remains of the poet have been
removed from their late resting place
to Il new lot in il more conspicuous po-
sitiOn near the northwestern corner of
the graveyard. There the monument
which will mark the grave of one of
Americas most gifted poets will be seen
by all persons passing the churchyard
on Fayette street. He lies there be-
side his mother-in-law, Mrs. GLENN,
who, before her death, expressed Il
desire to he buried near cher darling
Edgar" 1t is expected that the re-
mains of Poe's wife, now buried in a
cemetery at Fordham, New York, will
be brought to this city and Inferred
beside the grave of her husband Some
objection was at first made by the rela-
tives of Poe to the removal Of the re-
mains, but they yielded their wishes
after being persuaded that the public
desired that the grave of Poe and III
memorial should he situated in NOE
eligible position.
1.-The lot Just purchased is located
near the intersection of Greene and
Fayettc streets, and were it not for the
wall concealing the churchyard on the
western side, the monument could also
hc seen from Greene street. 1t is uIl-
dcrstoud, however, that the trustees of
Westminster church intend tearing
down the brick wall on Greene street,
add substituting an iron railing, so
thai this disadvantage will be rem
cdicd."

THE orRICTEST ORDER OF MONKS
Wien VINO Meen pS-yetsai silence. and
Wa~ big Their Own Graves.

WW~ Dig Their Own Graves.
The abbots of Mount Military, IN
Ireland, Sept Fonds in France, and
Mariastern in Turkey, all monasteries
Of the Trai,pist order Of monks, have
decided to purchase l:,s..,,f in MARYLAND
To establish & house in the United States,
anti have appointed, as their agent,
Brother Francis de Sales, who will
probably present his credentials to the
Archbishop of Baltimore Immediately,
and be formally received into that
diocese.
The order of Trappists is the Sc
verest in the church. Perpetual silence
is one Of their VOWS, and dispei,sation
Is given to speak only when necessity
demands it, or to those few Of the
brothers who HI Offices in the mon
:istery which demand occasional con-
versations. They are not allowed meat,
eggs, butter, cheese, fish or oil. They
sleep on narrow beds of straw, raised
few inches from the ground. They
dig and refill, and dig again and refill
from time to time their own graves as
Il reminder of their mortality. They
rise hours before dawn, and after prayer
and meditation, betake themselves to
their respective employments. Among
them are sh6emakers, tailors, carpen-
tiers, farmers, dairymen and millwrights.
The Trappist monasteries named above
are very wealthy, but wealth has ac-
crued from the industry of their MEM
bers. These monks ask no charity, and
consequently Brother de Sales was able
to say that he has not journeyed to
America with q subscription list. He
asserted that the monastery of Sept
Fonds, in France, alone offered to de
fray the expenses of the new mission.
\ temporary house is to be rented, and
in December two hundred Trappist
monks, selected from three monasteries,
will occupy it.
Brother Francis de Sales is a French
man by birth, and he speaks English
without much popularity of accent.
He is sanguine of the success of the
mission he is sent to superintend. He
says that the Abbot of Sept Ponds, in
France, was a count of great wealth
that the Abbot of Mount Military, in
Ireland, was at one time a candidate for
election to Parliament, and that the
six-feet-two- Abbot, of Mariastern, in
Turkey, is an Irishman.
