KNAPP cast, Secretary Chandler intends to recon-
mend the impeachment Of Thompson, who was
Secretary Of the Interior before the War. It is
said he is preparing the case from the records Of
the public documents, and the Investigation had
by Congress afterwards, This shows
that Thompson abstracted $7o00O Of
the public moneys in the best
securities and exchanged them for
the individual notes Of contractors, and that
vas the last the Government ever had OF the
immense sum thus stolen from the public treas
ury. Secretary Chandler says that Thompson
Is now living, and wealthy enough to be amply
able to repay the amount to the Government,
and he should be made to do it.
CL4PP,
the Congressional Printer, will on Monday send
q memorial to the Senate. The memorial will
set forth the proceedings Of the House Commit
tee, and ask for Investigation on the part OF the
Senate.
JUDGE CATE,
in personal explanation, tried to deny the
statements OF the memorial! or the Wisconsin
Legislature, aud made 3 bad job Of it. he made
an absurd charge that the Republican Legi5la-
ture and Governor Of Wisconsin had suppressed
the memorial until the session was nearly closed.
CasWell, Of Wisconsin, showed that this charge
was absurd, and maintained that the mem
orla1 was suppressed By the, Democratic Secre-
ta1y OF State OF Wisconsin.

STICK TO Your BUSINESS. There is
nothing which should be more frequently
impressed upon the minds of young men
than the Importance Of steadily pursuing
some one business. The frequent chang
ing of one employment to another is one
of the most common errors committed,
and to it may be traced more than half
the failures of the men in business, and
much of the discomfort and disappoint-
ment which reuder life uncomfortable.
1t is very common thing for a man to
be dissatisfied with his business, and to
desire to change it for some other, which,
it seems to him, will prove a more lucra-
tive employment but, in nine cases out
of ten, it is mistake. Look around,
and you will find among your acquain-
tances abundant verifcation of our as
sertion. There is an honest farmer who
has toiled for few years, got his farm
paid for, but does not grow rich very
rapidly, as much for lack of content
ment mingled with industry as anything,
though be is not aware of it. He hears
the wonderful stories of California, and
how fortunes may be had for the trouble
of picking them up mortgages his farm
to raise the money, goes away to the land
of gold, and, after many months of hard
toll, comes home to commence again at
the bottom of the hill for more weary
and less successful climbing up again.
Mark the men in every community who
are notorious for not getting ahead, and
you will usually find them to be those
who never stick to any one business long,
but are always forsaking their occupa-
tion just when it begins to be profitable.

A New DANGER OF EARLY RISING.
"A very curious case recently reported
from ST. Mary's Hospital may serve as
a valuable caution to early risers and to
conscientious publicans. This man, a
cab washer, had completely lost the use
of his upper extremities, while his voice
was reduced to the merest whisper. On
being questioned he stated that as he
usually finished his work just as the pub
lie houses opened, he always had the
very first glass of beer or gin that was
served in the morning, that is to say,
the liquor whichshad remained all night
in the drawpipe in contact with the lead.
His gums showed the well known blue
line indicative of lead poisoning, and
other con6rmatory symptoms existed
which need not be detailed here. Some
of the gin which he drank every morn
ing having been procured and tasted,
gave 1-43Oth of grain per fluid ounce.
He was ultimately cured by the use of
iodide of potassium and galvanic baths.

The scene instantly began to fade and

the rising, curling white vapor had

found myself once more gazing upon my
mysterious visitor, who in the same mys-
terious voice had heard before, said:
:" Son of the Republic, what you have
seen is thus interpreted Three perils
will come upon the Republic. The most
fearful is the second, passing which the
whole world united shall never be able
to prevail against her. Let every child
of the Republic learn to live tor his
God, his Land and Union"
With these words the figure vanished.
| started from my seat, and felt that l
had been shown the birth, progress and
destiny of the Republic of the United
States. Disunion will be her destruc-
ton"
"Such my friends concluded the
venerable narrator, were the words l
heard from Washington's own lips, and
America will do well to profit by them.
Let her remember that in the Union she
has her strength, in Disunion her de-
struction."
