Let every young man whose appetite
for drink is consciously growing, but
whose conscience is not yet scared by
confirmed habit, adopt the plan of MAX
ing an accurate note of how he feels In
the morning after drinking too much the
night before. Let him analyze as nearly
in detail as he can his thoughts and re-
Elections when he first wakes up, and put
down in black and white plain, truth
full description of them. I do not refer
to the sense of physical pain or discom-
fort which always follows debauch, but
to his moral conditions In the early
morning, and in the absence of the fac
titious excitement of conviyiahty. Let
this be done conscientiously, and let the
Young man read over his own words
carefully, and endeayor to thoroughly
realize what he has described on paper,
every time he thinks Of taking drink,
and I believe that most young men con-
trolled by principle, actuated by de
sire to do right, and struggling against
the inherent weakness of human nature,
would in short time come to the con-
clusion that the ssgame is not worth the
candle" and in many cases eventually
give ND the desire to indulge In SO
and delusive relief from

A Chinaman GOred to Death and Then
Impaled.

At the Devils Elbow, about six miles
below Black Hawk, on the line OF the
Colorado Central railway, where the bed
of the road is hewn out of the solid rock,
owing to the extreme narroWness of the
valley of Clear creek at the point, an ac-
cident occurred on Wednesday evening
last, which takes rank as one Of the most
horrible and terrible ON record.
A Chinaman, Lin Wau, working in the
gulch mines along the creek, was pursued
by wild and furious bull, which had
wandered away from his herd up the
creek. For safety the Celestial took to
the track, but was closely followed by
the Infatuated animal, to the Devils Ell
bow, where the bed of the creek is about
twenty feet below the track, and the top
of the telegraph poles on line with the
rails. One hurried moment had the
Chinaman to realize that his enemy was
upon him, when with all the force of
brute power one horn went piercing
through the back, passed through the
abdomen and came out in front. 1t was
the work of an instant to raise, like a
feather, the mass of bleeding, screaming
human flesh, and with toss, to hurl it
across the track and into the gulch. The
unfortunate Chinaman, thus gored unto
death and tossed into air, in his descent
struck upon the end of telegraph pole,
which entered the very same gaping
wound made by the horn of the brute In
his back, and the pain-tortured blood
besmeared victim was impaled mid-air.
Without speech, and pale with horror at
the sight, his companions stood power
less, until the heart-rending cries OF the
unfortunate awoke them to duty. He
was then taken from his appalling posi-
ton as speedily as possible, but died in
few minutes. The bull, after accom-
plishing this deed, passed up the
canon, and had not been captured at last
accounts.

THERE ONCE WAS A TOPPER.

There once was toper-In not tell his name
Who had for his comfort scolding old dame;
And often and often he wished himself dead,
For II drunk he came home, she would beat him
bed
He spent all his evenings away from his home.
And when he returned he would sneakingIy com
And hy to walk straightly, and say not word
Just to keep his dear wife from abusing her lord
For, if he dared say his tongue was his own,
'Twoud set her tongue going, in no gentle tone.
And she'd huff him, and cuff him, and call hla
And he'd sigh to be rid of all scolding old danes.
1t happened, one night, on a frolc he went,
He staid till his very last penny spent,
But how to go home, and get safely to bed,
weighed.
But home he must go; so he caught up his hat,
And off he went singing, by this, and by that,
I'm pluck up my courage, guess she's in bed,
Ii she amt, it's matter, I'm sure Who's afraid?s
He came to his door he fingered until
He peeped: and he listened, and all seemed quite
still;
In he went, and his wife sure enough was in bed
sob !" says he, sits just as / thought: Who's
afraid?"
He crept about SOFTLY and spoke not word,
His wife seemed to Sleep for she cen stirred!
Thought he for this night then, my fortune is
made?
For my dear scolding wife asleep! Who's afraid?"
But soon he felt thirsty; and slyly he rose,
And cropping around to the table he goes,
The pitcher found empty, and so was the bowl,
The pail and the tumblers-she'd emptied the whole!
At length in a corner, vessel he found
Says he, there's something to drink, III be
bound I"
And eagerly seizDg, he lifted it up
And drank it all off, in one long hearty sup!
1t tasted so queerly and, what it could be,
He wondered; it neither was water, nor tea
Just then thought struck him and filed him with
fear,
&c Oh ! it must be the poison for rats declare!'
And loudly he called on his dear sleeping wife,
And begged her to rise: g for" said he, son my
life
fear it was poison, the bowl did contain
oh dear yeS-it poison, L feel the pain J"
'' And what made you dry, sir ?" the wife sharply
cried;
"'Twould serve you just right if from poison you
died;
And you've done fine job, and you'd now better
march,
For Just see, yow brute you hare drank all my

MARRIAGES OF RELATIVES. - The
French Academy has lately collected
some interesting statistics connected with
the marriage of blood relations, which is
very frequent in France. The number
of deaf mutes born to parents related by
consanguinity is Is to 30 per cent greater
than the ordinary average, and the liabil-
ity to such offspring increases with the
nearness of the relationship. This law
also applies to idiocy. The statistics
further demonstrate that, in case of mar
rage between deaf mutes, the, parental
congenital defect is not transmitted when
the children are brought up among peo-
pie who can hear and talk.

Are common soldiers likely to abstain?

But as for fear that we'll get hurt
BY anything that they will do to stop us,
We run no risk unless them Redskins g drop " us.
Always acknowledged that the soil was theirs?
Come, now, you've colleged it;
Which of them early pioneers acknowledged it?
Bought it like honest men, time and again Z?
Paid for it? When? Who did? Not Penn!

Should this Republic let that treasure lay?
Hey? All that money just to be sublime?
II glory came, sounded from Europe's trump of

Till all creation had to stop its ear;
For that there whistle we should pay too dear.
Treaties be bowed!
I'd like to see the parchment that will hold there.
We'd not have made no treaty if we'd knowed
About the gold there
And now we've found it, leastways will, next season.
The land reVerts-that's law it stands to reason.
You buy my farm, suppose. Why; every pettfogger
knows
OF course get back land and coal together.
Not law? Yes tbs. You mind your biz!
Well, what if faint? Them Redskins amt no

So don't talk treaties when we're talking dollars.
How? judgments sent upon the country We

Nabobs in Paris-I should say Par-ree.
So as YOU say, Gods scourges may
ScOurge you, but we shall wisely keep away
From War or Famine
Or Plague besides, that's CANNON.
Hain't we give back well-nigh upon the whole,
Freedom and rights and such, of what was stole
From them there darks to quite smart amount?
And you think Heaven can't balance an account?
You're irreligious.
Besides them Redskins always was perfdjus.
Just don't you fear.
I'm one that likes to read my title clear.

And get extinguished after law and order

This theme is patriot soul expands on.
Sir, this great nation owes it to civilization
To take whatever it can lay its hands on.
There again-isn't it plain?
What if them hills belonged, Wen say, to Spain
But now if there's a conflict we shall win it,
I say the ways Of Providence is in it.
Can't see it? lean. I'm a square man.
You said where were we going? You've been told.
You go for principle-we go for gold.
Go for it strong-and also for country, right or
wrong.
Which means the same: so you had better mind it.
The only reason why Uncle Sam won't have that
gold next season

Now, if you're rested,
Pard We'll go and get this matter tested.

it never limits itself to technicalities.
Such a training to a foreign Prince
especially to one who may be called at
no distant period to occupy so important
a position as that to which the PRINCE
IMPERIAL was destined by BIRTHS in
calculabIe. He will have u%nlearnt much
that imperils the security and spoils the
completeness of a more isolated i%ntellec-
tual cultivation. To speak somewhat
paradoxically, he may turn out a better
son Of France than if he had been bred
up more exclusively as a Frenchman.
The interest which the English public
have in the present occasion is limited
to that friendly curiosity which may be
INDUCED without any desire of meddIing
with, or any tendency to p~reiudiced spec
ulation on, the political affairs of our
neighbours but we cannot forget that
many millions Of those neighbours have
Al interest in the matter which far exceeds
the measure of ours. More than one large
section of the French nation would have
reioiced to see the heir of the BoNAPARTEs
convicted, when brought to a searching
test, of something below the average of
mediocrity but a large and daily i%ncreas-
ing mass Of warm partisans viii rejoice
to find that he has merited honorable
distinction, and fully vindicated in a third
generation the intellectual claims of an
unusually able and enterprising fami-
ly. Whatever may be the amount of fa-
YOUR accorded in different quarters to the
PRINCE IMPERIAL, the European public will
unanimously wish him a fair field. What
ever may be the career in store for
him, he is entitled, as we'll as the mean
est son Of the soil, to bring his abili-
ties to the best market. Many of US
may regard Bonapartism in the abstract
as a monstrosity in politics, or the Napo-
leonic legend as a delusion and a snare
to the people who obstinately cherish it;
yet the least defensible of doctrines may
have q deserving representative, and the
vices of the system may be lost in the vir-
tues Of the man.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
From the Times

We have of late had many opportunities
of regarding the events of the day in the
light of personal comparisons and person
al contrasts, and among the most inter-
esting are those which are suggested by
the circumstances of The two young
Princes who until lately represented the
two deposed DynaSties of France and
Spain. Twelve months ago the %restora-
ton of the former reigning House Of Spain
in the person of ALFONSO would hardly
have been expected to precede the return Of
the BoNAPARTES in the person of the PRINCE
IMPERIAL. Yet the troubles of Spain,
though they had been of longer c%ontinu-
ance, admitted of easier settlement, and
were susceptible of compromises far less
dubious and delicately balanced thaa those
OF the neignboufing country. 1t was not
difficult, as it happened, to restore a young
Prince of whom little was known except
that he had been brought up in Il school the
influence Of which on his personal character
was at best doubtful, and to trust for tie
result to his natural ability to adapt him
self to circumstances and to the natural
force of circumstances themselves. From
this recent event the Bonapartists Of
France have, as might be expected, de-
rived new encouragement. The PRINCE
IMPERIAL possesses advantages which his
young contemporary has been able to dis
pense with. Should the wheel Of politi-
cal fortune, by a chance which gathering
events conspire to render daily more and
more probable, raise him in time to the
throne of his father, he will certainly not
be found "unpractised, u~nprepared, andstill
to seek" His earlier years were spent
under the most favourable conditions.
The person, the policy, and, in spite of
reVerses, the achievements of the father
continue to command the respect of large
party in France, which watches the career
OF the son with deep interest. A far
sllghter attention to the requirements of
his disposition than the PRINCE IMPERIAL has
actually exhibited would be sufficient to
sustain the hopes of his partisans. He

National Republican., 1875-06-04

AND NOW the Democratic laborers CT
New York have struck for higher wages.
They actually left the public works a day
or two since and attempted to form pro-
CessiUn TO march in a body to lay their
grievances before General Fitz John Porter,
the Democratic Commissioner of Public
Works. But the police of the ex-rebel
General G. A. Smith ordered them to dis
perse and not make such an unseemly dem
onstration. A few Of them interviewed
General Porter, however, who told them
he could do nothing for them, and they
retired. These poor laborers were justified
in expecting relief They were made to
believe last fall that the hard times were
caused by the Republicans, and if they
elected Tilden and Wickham the times
would improve at once and wages be high
and work plenty. They simply wish to
know why these things do net come to
pass. Ifs similar event had occurred in
this District or in Albany the Detective
Press OF New York would have INDUCED
in long editorials upon the subject, full of
sympathy for the laborers. As it is, that
terrible engine wind power has not
gasped a single breath. 1t is omniously
silent. 1t can see nothing which is imme-
diately under its nose. Let it strive to
soOthe the perturbed spirits of the Demo
cratic laborers of New York.
