together in generous and loving brotherhood,
and which shall be as broad as the territory
over which the national Gag floats"
Referring again, in his conclusion, to
the opportunities and responsibilities of
the Democratic party in the House, Mr..
Lamar made these excellent exhorta-
tions to his party friends then before
him. Said he
'Let us seek to renew the prosperity, to ad-
vance the greatness and glory Of our country.
Let US resolve to win the confidence and the
affection Of the whole American people for our
party, by showing them that all its represent
atives have craftsmanship, patriotism and
strength OF purpose enough to deserve that
confidence and Affection.
"* A renewed prosperity Is everywhere
urgently desired. Let us, by removing unjust
determinations, by imposing a rigid economy,
by restoring sound currency, by securing the
equal rights Of all States and all the people,
make the Democratic party the authors of a
new prosperity, so we may begin for our party
a new and glorious career, in which its history
shall be once more, as formerly, the story of
the Unions greatest grandeur, and the peo-
ple's universal happiness and contentment."
Upon the whole, we consider the FORE
going pretty good confession of taith."
Now, the great thing is, to have the
members of that political church live
fully and faithfully up to their creed.

War Report.

The annual Report OF the Secretary of
War is before US, and possesses the merit
of brevity.
From the Report it appears that our
standing army is now twenty-five thou
sand strong. These are scattered by
detachments for guarding the frontiers.
The Secretary recommends the enlist
ment of music boys over twelve years OF
age, in order to furnish field music to
Companies. At present there is not
single authorized band connected with
the Army, except the band at the Mill
tary Academy at West Point. All other
bands are either voluntary or main
tanned at the expense OF the officers and
men.
There were 1881 desertions the past
year; and the establishments were 1885,
There are 1900 laundresses employed,
who accompany the troops from post to
post. These cost the Government about
5000, 900 annually.
During the year 102 signal stations
have been maintained for ''weather re-
ports;" and it is worth knowing that,
by minute examination of these re-
ports, nearly SS per cent. of these s'prob-
abilities" were verified by the event.
And of the total number of cautionary
signals displayed on lake and sea coast,
rs per cent. have been afterwards re-
ported as justified.
One saddening statement made by the
Secretary is, that the total number of in
terments in National cemeteries up to
June 80, 1875, was 3O6, 1853. The total
number of headstones furnished is 63, I12,
and the work of supply still progressing.
Under the Act OF Congress of last Feb
ruary reliet had been extended to suf-
ferers from the ravages OF grasshoppers
to the extent OF 1851, lOS rations, which
were issued to 63,593 adults and 40, ,942
children under twelve years of age.
The defensive works of our seaboard
consist no longer Of solid masonry, but
of heavy earth batteries. thoroughly
protected, and arranged for guns and
mortars to resist attacks even from the
strongest iror-clads. Torpedoes for har-
Dor defense are approved, as means OF
preventing hostile vessels from running
by our batteries, and tor holding them
under fire Of our artillery.
The expenditure of the War Depart
ment for the fiscal year amounted tt
SAL 277,375, being 81, 04S,94O less than fol
the year 1874.
One important matter recommended
by the Secretary is a complete survey o
the Mississippi river. The wonder il
that it had not been done long ago. W.
have naval officers enough doing nothing
on high pay. Better set them to work.

Starry.

1t has always been favorite theory
among renowned men that their destiny
was presided over by some special
planetary guidance. The Greek EN-.
peror Constantine, Charles the Bold,
Charles of Sweden, Napoleon the Great,
each had his "brlght particular starr
that led him ON to greatness and to
glory.
Nor has this stellar influence forsake n
the modern men of renown. The Hor.
MICHAEL G. KERR, now presiding as
Speaker of the National House OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington, has also had
his "lucky Star,"--it Is known in the
Constellation of the Occident us the GIN
cINNATI EVENING STAR. 1t was under
this STAR that Mr.. Kerr's name was first
of all proposed for the Speakership, to
which high Office he has now attained.
1t was ON the last day of October, 1874,
that this fortunate conjunction occurred ;
when the EVENING STAR said this
"should the next National House Of Repre-.
sentatives be Democratic, Hon. Michael @.
Kerr, of Indiana, will stand good chance oi
being Speaker. He is Western man, has a
National reputation, and has not given utter
ance to any extreme views on the finances that
would make him Objectionable to the East.
There is no public man having larger &C.
quaintance than he, nor one who would have
so few enemies in his own party"
Henceforth let not the influence of the
STARS be disregarded as affecting the
career of distinguished men.

4 Baby FOudIIng % Snake.

A man and woman of Lehigh County
California, went to the hay the
other day, and took their baby along
and placed ii in the shade. Some time
after the mother noticed the child play
ing with black strap, which the little
one would every now and then let fall
out of the wagon and then crawl out
after it, seemingly being very busy
with the object it had in possession to
smuse itself. Upon drawing near, it
was discovered that the child was act
ually fondliag black snake. at least
fourfeet in length, now wrapped around
the little ones body, then again entwin-

through all kinds of frightful move
ments, its red tongue darting ont C. its
mouth with lighting-like rapidity. and
the child all the while stroking 1t, Joy
fully laughing until the tears rolled
down its cheeks. The snake was killed
to the grief of the child.

Celebrated RObberies.

Jehan Walter, a French Journalist,
relates, dpr0pOs of the robbery of the
Dudley diamonds, several anecdotes
about Jewel rObberieS. He tells how a
speculator presented a report to the
Directory, making out that the cele-
brated Church of Loretto contained
f10,O00,000 worth in diamonds, etc.
Barras and Carnot informed Bonaparte
of the fact; but the young general re-
fused to march on the place, because he
would have to expose corps of 10000,
and would probably find nothing when
he got there. In time he did manage to
seize on the church, and found that all
the diamonds had been replaced by
glass. VI. Walter also tells how the
mother of the late French Emperor, the
Queen Hortense, when she was leaving
France after the invasion by the allies,
was stopped on the highroad by the
Marquis de Maubreuil, who searched
her carriage and took away E20,000
worth of diamonds, which have never
since been heard of. This story is all
the more remarkable as there was a
great fuss made about this Marquis de
Maubreuil toward the close of the sec
ond empire. He had a lawsuit with his
wife, and an outcry was raised against
the Marquis continuing a member of
the Legion of Honor. 1t then came ont
that he was one of the royalists who had
aided the Prussians to pull down the
statue of Napoleon from the top of the
column of Nendome, and that while en-
gagged in this act he had tied an order
of the Legion of Honor to the tail of
his horse and dragged il in the mud.
Yet toward the end of the reign of the
third Napoleon he wore the red ribbon
and was In receipt of government
pension.

Poison by Artificial Flowers.

One branch of the industry in which
children are employed is technically
known as grass work. 1t consists IN
fastening small glass beads or "dew
drops" to the artificial grass, and so
simple is the work that mere infants
can help at it. The master of ragged
school in a densely populated district
of London found that when particular
kind of artificial flower was in fashion
the young children neglected to attend
school. He told James Greenwood.
who wrote an article which appeared IN
the London "Telegraph" some time
ago: "You may always know a grass
hand if he has been at work any time,
from the appearance of his hair. 1ou
will find the front part of it-that
which is most exposed, as the head is
bent over the work-to be of different
color from the rest. Ii the childs hair
is light-colored, the patch III front, Just
where the parting commences, will be
changed to a dull yellow if the HAIR is
naturally dark the patch will be rusty,
almost of the color called carroty. If
they work long and hard at the grass
the hair will fall out" The threading
of the beads on blades and leaves of
grass, and the subsequent shaking to
see that all is right, dIsiodge PARTICLES

the air and tells its tale upon the poor
children. Monthly.

True Recreation.

1t has been said that half the wisdom
of a nation is to he found in its pro-
verbs; and most of us have thought in
our sehoolboy days that the seven sages
of Greece united as friends in council
could never have written a more sen
Sible line than the familiar nursery
axiom that ''all work and no play makes
Jack duh boy" Not less UrTe is this
of the man than of the boy. The bow
of Achilles was not always bent, and
relaxation from labor is a human
necessity. The difficulty is how to
find the requisite relaxation; for if the
pleasure chosen he too like the daily
labor, very little benefit will result
therefrom. How few of us really study
the philosophy of amusement. There
is n well-known story of n waiter who
took holiday for the first time for
twenty years, and spent the day in
assisting a brother of the napkin to
lay the tables for great dinner to
take place the following evening. We
have heard of London and country
surgeons wishing holiday TO arrange
to look after each others practices for
Il fortnight or three weeks. Many
literary men, after hard days work,
will sit down for the evening over a
chess board. An actor "out of the bilr'
for n night is almost sure to visit a
rival theatre; an artist will visit Il
friends studio; and a clergyman away
from home is certain to ofiiciate in
every pulpit within a reasonable dis
tance of the place he has selected for
his holiday sojourn. Now, all these
men are guilty of the grossest folly.
1t is very well, as a change of labor,
and 10 prevent the mind running too
much in one groove, to vary the scene
of the work, but this il, ,distinctly not
amusement; and even though the zest
of novelty may cause it to be genuine
enjoyment. it is by no means relaxa-
ton: for it does not. give rest, which
should be the one object of all
relaxation.

Z" She Who Rocks the Or adle

Dear woman is the dream Of life

The Transit Of Venus

The bits of news that come to us
from kergueien's Island are tantaliZ-
ing. First there was the German tele-
gram. stating that the party of that ma
tionality had met good success. Then
came the Astronomer Royals telegram,
stating that the weather was cloudy,
but three English observers had seen
the ingress, and one had "a good OBJ
seryation of the egress." Lastly, a tel
egram received here says that the
Americans were eminently successful,
and that the English and French were
also, but gives no particulars. The
real points at issue are left almost as
indefinite as ever. If the English got
good observations of the ingress, they
have what they most want from ker-
guelen's Island, to compare with their
Hawaiian observations. Without that
they have no long base line obtainable
by the comparison of any pair of their
stations. II the Americans did well at
kerguelen, we have the most southerly
observations attainable to compare
with those taken at Peking, and have
reason to he supremely satisfied; while
our Kerguelen observations, if coupled
with those of the Russians at Merit
chinsk. will be one-seventh better than
the best that is possible in 1SS2.
