why the Republican Party En-

The Republican party, after being
overwhelmingly beaten on its policy of
haste toward the South, has suddenly be
come conciliatory in that direction, and
proposes to take fresh lease of power on
a ''new departure. " 1t proposes now TO
take the schools and all the churches, eX-
cept the Catholic Church, under its care
and protection, and by melting prejudice
and bitterness against Catholics, as its
leaders did against the people Of the
South for ten years, to continue right
along in possession of the Government.
The large popular majorities rolled up
against the Republican party in twenty
two Of the States, admonished the lead
ers not to advance another step in the
South, and they were compelled, to save
the party from humiliation, to resort to
some expedient which contained food for
fanaticism, for they knew that if the mer-
ciIeSs spirit of hatred which for ten years
had trampled upon the South were to die
out, the Republican party would perish.
A religious crusade was suited to their

turned as their only hope but the indi-

Eighteen Hundred Years After
Death.

A correspondent of Appleton's journal,
writing of excavations at Pompeii, says ::
"Among the most interesting of the
objects found recently are two skeletons,
one of a Somewhat elderly man, the other
of woman. They were found i'll the
Via Stabia among ashes of the last erup-
ton, evidently overtaken in their fight
and buried in the cinders. According
to the usual method employed to preserve
the external appearance of objects, liquid
plaster was poured into the cavity, which
serving as mould, fac-simile of the
forms was obtained and thus perfectly
preserved, the statute-like bodies were
placed in glass cases in the Pompeii mu-
scum. While approaching all the horror
of such death and the suffering endured
as shown by the position, ! cannot but
imagine what would have been the aston
ishment of that man or woman had some
prophet informed them that eighteen hun
bred years after their death their ferns,
and even as MUCH Of their garments as
were not consumed in the eruption,
would be placed in museum for inspec-
ton by multitude of sight-seers, some
from lands of the existence of which they
had never dreamed of. +"

Extract from sernade speech made
/ by Gov Hendricks at indianapolis, Sat
urday the 9Th inst.
There may be much to criticise in
what has been said and done in the House,
but this stands prominently forth: That
the Investigations which it has conducted
have developed a corruption in the pub
lie service horrible to contemplate;
worse, perhaps, than that which impair
ed the strength and destroyed the tor
tunes of France under Louis Napoleon,
before and during the Prussian war. 1t
is now shown, so that everybody knows it,
that these corruptions and partialities
have prevailed for many years, but they
remained concealed like Il fostering dis
ease at the bone, until a Democratic
house applied the knife. The result of
OF all this was that the people, shocked
at what they had not supposed to exist,
but which they now see, are determined
to restore good government. Tremend-
Gus applause. Dare any frank and
honest man say that in these investiga
ton the house has not done good work
for the country? | would speak Of Gov.

SIisadventures of "a Pound OF Tea

In the fall of 1875, when Mr.. John
Adams and Samuel Adams were both in
Philadelphia, the former sent his wife,
by Mr.. Gerry, pound of green tea as
choice present, paying for the same Up
wand of forty shillings. Through some
l4istake Oh tile part of the messenger, the
canister was given to Mrs. Samuel instead
of Mrs. John. On hospitality intent,
the former invited the latter, with some
friends, to a tea drinking. Mrs. John
praised the tea which Mr.. Samuel's
Sweetheart had sent her, and grumkled
not little in her next let.e. 20 John that
he should net have been so attentive as
his kinsmen. The cream Of the Joke
appeared, however. when Mrs. John
discovered it to be her own tea with
which she had been so beautifully
entertained. OF course; when the error
was discovered, Mrs. Samuel returned all
that remained.-Ellis Gray, in Harper's
