THEY say of Henry Wilson that he
told his attendants that on the morning
of his attack he apprehended death be-
fore he could reach the Capitol But
even then" said he, 81 felt no fear or
anxiety. | felt that l should not pass
out of the universe, nor beyond the
reach Of Gods love and care" A Eeli-
ance on divine wisdom like this is so
beautiful, and seems so nearly like what
God would have his creatures feel, that
it should be written in every heart as
the belief of one who stood on the ut
most shore of time about to drift out on
the great ocean cf eternity. 1t implies
a trust higher than faith and better than
hope. These are not the words of
self-satisfied man, one who believed in
his future preservation because he be-
lieved in himself, but the expression of
one whose trust in God was part of his
mind, Unborn and not to be shaken;
whose belief in him was not the growth
of reason and time, but the natural
basis of n broad and liberal intellect, I'M
bound bv set limits and unwarped by mar
row prejudices.- es.-Indianapolts Herald.
as hot
a different aspect everything wears in
the sunshine from what it does in the
shadow? And did you ever think what
an analogy there was between the sun
light of the cloudless skies and the sun
shine that CLEANS into the darkened
chambers OF the human soul? How
bright and beautiful are the golden
beams that break through the riven
clouds to light up the world again after
a succession of dark aud stormy days,
How peaceful and happy are the blessed
words of hope and cheer that touch the
heart and fill the soul with emotions of
peace and joy after a long period of sor-
rowl There are none living who do not,
i'll a greater or less degree, have an in
fiuence over the earthly happiness of
Others. The sense Of contributing to
the pleasure of others augments our
own happiness. UDsellishness, Christian
charity and loving kindness are sun
beams of the soul.
MAKE THE BEST OF YOURSELF. Are
you making the best of yourself. Are
you using to the best advantage the nat
ural powers of body and mind given
you by your Creator! Or are you dron-
ing through life in half efforts, and
steady drifting behind men of less ability
than your own-men who, with fewer
talents than you possess, are making the
best OF themselves? Think of this. Put
the question to yourself as we put 1t to
you, and do it honestly. Look the mat
ter right in The face. Are you making
the best of yourselfl If not, begin Il
new life at once. Do yaIr best in every
thing-in your thinking and in your
doing. Rise out of Incidence and self
indulgence, and not only will the world
be the better for you having lived ia it,
but you will be better for having lived
in the world.

LECTURE BY MRS. DORSEY.

The members of the Academy of Science
and other Swans and Eterati of New Orleans
will bs pleased to learn that Mrs. Sarah A.
Dorsey will deliver a lecture, this even
ing, at the hall of the Academy, University
Building, corner of Baronne and Common
streets. The theme of the lecture is " The
Present Condition of the Question of the
Origin of Species" and will be summary of
the discussions which this important question
has undergone among modern British and
Continental philosophers.
The erudite and eloquent lecturer, having
access to French, Spanish and German au-
thors in the originals, has thoroughly can
vassed this subject with her usual care and
industry, and her lecture will probably be a
condensed statement and comparison of the
various theories advanced. Those who heard
or have read her two previous lectures before
the Academy, will not willingly miss this op-
portunity to hear another.

THE NATIONS FINANCES.
Total Contraction of the Currency During
Last Year More Than $50, 100000.

Especial Telegraphic Correspondence of the
Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-The books of the
Treasury Department show that for the 6f-
teen months rndlng September 80 there has
been Withdrawn $20,000,00O United States
bonds deposited with the Treasurer to secure
national bank circulation. In lieu of these
bonds, 80 per cent or total of SIS 100000,
in national bank currency has been retired.
The Treasury officials predict that the car
rying into effect of the specie resumption act
will cause the withdrawal of at least $780,
900, 900 additional bonds. which would cause
further contraction of the national bank cir
culation of one hundred and thirty-fve mil
lion dollars before January, 1879. The act
itself provides for the reduction of the green
back circulation to three hundred million dol
lars, so that on or before the 1st of January,
1879, there will remain outstanding a total
currency circulation of less than five hundred
million dollars. Even this amount can not
be safely calculated upon from the fact that
the national banks may surrender q much
greater proportion of their circulation than is
provided for in this estimate.
Again, the national bank notes will on and
after the LIST of January, 1879, be redeemable
only in coin or greenbacks. The natural re-
suit will, therefore, be the boarding Of green
UdckS ny tu0 UduAb lOI tnAS PuApo5o, uAuA ~
is not improbable that the whole greenback
circulation of three hundred millions will be
locked up in their vaults and the business
interests of the country left to accommodate
itself to circulation of less than two hun
dred million dollars.
The total contraction of the currency for
the past year exceeds thirty-six million dol
lars, and it is predicted by those in q position
to know, that unless the specie resumption
act is modified or repealed, the contraction
for the ensuing twelve months will exceed
seventy million dollars.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
SECOND DISTRICT COURT.

In the succession of o. J. Donnella, Judge
Tissot decided Monday morning the question

made
It appears Donnella died unmarried and
without issue, but left brothers and sisters
and descendants of such.

natural children, colored, claim that on the
4th of December, 1874, Donnella made will
bequeathing to them certain property.
The will reads as follows:

queath to my daughter Adelaide, the issue of
my former slave Winnie Scott, my property
on Magazine street, First District, of the city
of New Orleans, in the square bounded by
Delord, Magazine, Constance and Poeyfare
streets.

be sold, and the proceeds, after paying my
debts, 90 to the mother of my children, VIM
Winnie Scott may receive an annuity of $25
per month of each of my children, Harrison
and Adelaide, during her lifetime.
I desire that out of the proceeds of the
mortgage note of $1,000, in the hand of j. O.
A. Fellows, attorney. for collection, $500 be
given to my niece, Eliza Setman, and the re-
mainder to their afflicted mother, Winnie
Scott.

the olored children of Donnella.

A REGULAR VAC.
How the Migrants Live.

The turnkey nodded towards him and said,
ga regular vag."
He was sitting off in one corner of the sta
tion-house, as far away as possible from the
other dodgers, waiting with them until the
hour to bunk-9 o'clock around.
He was a miserable specimen of humanity,
this Irregular vag very stout and very
dirty, with very detected air about him.
"He is an old customer, sir, said the turn
key; "gets around here about once in every
two months, and lodges regularly every night
for week, just week exactly, and then he
leaves; lodges in another station, I reckon. u
The Irregular vag moved up into the por-
ton of the corner that was the darkest, but
the turnkey would have none of that" and
the Irregular vag" moved into the portion Of
the corner that had the most light.
He looked so miserable and SO forlorn, and
he asked for it in such piteous way, and ap-
peared SO much in need Of it, that his request
for "just enough to get drink could not
be refused.
The drink seemed to revive him. 1t was
large enough to revive any one. 1t put him
in laxative mood. He wanted to talk abou.
himself, but the turnkey would not listen,
and told him to "let up on that"
"If you want to tell the gentleman any.
thing, tell him how you 'vags' do it."
And the regular vag" proceeded to tell
how they "did it." Ee said: "There is nc
use Of telling you how We come to it. We
just drop down by degrees until we reach it.
1t is about as low as man can get.
GAS to our life, it is a. pretty hard one, al
though we do live without working. Getting
something to eat is what worries US most.
We beg for it, you know, and we have to &c
some tramping sometimes to get it-there are
SO many of US, and people can't feed US all
We beg old clothes and we take anything in
that line we can get, and then some hall
dozen Of us meet and "swap," and in that
way we sometimes get two or three suits
each.

have.
Sometimes, when times are bad, we act the
dangerous and suspicious, or do something

Work house, and then we feast.

CIRCULAR vag" went off with the others tt
the lodgers cell.

A VOICE FROM OLD LINE WINGS.

At the meeting of anti Radicals of st. Mar
tin parish October 3, at Breaux Bridge, to
nominate candidates to the State Convention
of November %, after other business pre-
viously noted in the BULLETIN, Gen. DeClouet
presented resolutions in behalf of old line
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the ludicrous and piteous
appeal of the Radical Central Committee to
arouse what it fancies to be the prejudices and
animosities of the old line Wings against the
Democratic party meets with but the thorough
disgust and scorn of the old Wings of this
parish, and that they spurn the proffer Of any
concert of action with the tools and abettors
of usurpation, Of oppressive and rulnous tax.
alton; of metropolitan raids; of fraudulent
registration and elections, backed by ground
less and perjured affidavits. by high-handed
and arbitrary arrests, and by the CALLING tyr
amy of armed Federal Intervention, as a
senseless insult to common decency.
And Resolved, That the old line Wings of
the parish OF st. Martin, knowing full we'll that
the issues which divided the Wing and Demo-
cratic parties no longer exists, and ever true
to the traditions and sacred principles of con-
stitutional liberty and self-government, 30
admirably expounded and inculcated by their
illustrious leaders Clay and Webster, can not
but denounce and repudiate any connection
whatever with party whose ranks are filled
up mostly by ignorant and venal legislators,
by partisan judges, by faithless officials, by
rapacious and defaulting tax collectors, by
spoilers, by arrant knaves, aud by negro
dupes-as monstrous amalgamation of old
Wing integrity, patriotism and honor with
Radical negro worship, corruption and In
fanny.

1t transpires that Henry Smith, the Sheriff
of East Feliciana, was shot IS he stated in
his telegram to the Acting Governor, but
there are facts connected with the affair
which do not appear in this dispatch or any
other received at the Executive Office. Smith
was responsible with Gair and Ray for the up
rising of the negroes in the parish short
time ago, and that he was responsible was
generally. known; but having more courage
than Gair or Ray, and at the same time
having a paying Office in the parish, de-
clined to follow the example of the two
latter named individuals and leave the
parish, and for the benefit of the party max
ing it case of expulsion.
But, urged on no doubt by Gair, who is in
an adjoining parish, Smith has been riding
q high horse" has been domineering and in
sulting and abusive in the administration of
his office.
On the 9th inst the Parish Court opened,
and while it was in session Smith, for the
purpose of making an official exhibition of
his official prerogative, ordered number of
gentlemen, who were standing in the hallway
leading to the although there were no
complaints from the Bench-to leave. His
orders were given in very insulting manner,
and were followed by abusive remarks, and
the result was tina. Smith was kicked down
stairs. When he landed at the bottom he
drew his revolver, and then it was that he was
fired at and shot.
Considerable excitement followed, and it
was thought best to adjourn court, and &C.
cordingly Judge Dexing ordered it adjourned
sine die
