osition. The probabilities are that the pres
ent Congress will fail to agree.

THE GREAT ANODYNE

For some time past the sugar, tea.
and coffee men have all been in hot
water. All alike have suffered from a
glutted market. The sugar reiiaers
have had particularly hard time. We
have in New York and vicinity q sugar
re6nerIes, some of them immense es-
tablisments, capable of turning out
upward of 1000 bbls per day, while
others of less pretension range from
100 to 300 bbls a day. The present
local production is not nearly as large
as it was one year ago, aud refiners sell
as they make, and stock don't accumu-
late. The prospect is much better for
a demand from the West, which, OF
late, has been supplied by the new crop
from Louisiana, sent up the Mississippi
pi, which now is supposed to be about
two-thirds sold. Speaking of the pres
sent low prices, it is remarked that
some qualities are quoted from 5@4c
lower than month ago, leaving such
small margins that there is not much
lnducement TO start up works which
have remained idle or put on short
time.-Nel0 York Commercial .AdUer-

Language Of silence.


There are crises in life v hen we cannot
speak-we are stunned. overwhelmed,
dismayed. We look almost vacant 10
observers whose eyes are upon us.
They cannot understand our speech
lessness; whilst they themselves are
under such great excitement, they
wonder at our passivity. There is an
excitement that is passive; there is a
vehemence OF feeling which is often
kept under restraint. Men inisunder-
stand Us because, in our sorest expe-
riences, we do not cxclaim aloud. we
do not protest against the injury which
is being inflicted upon us T; we are led
of in silence, and'we seem TO Justify
those who iujure US by want Of protest
and argument and vehement denial d
the justice which is being accorded tc
US. Learn that there is a sublimity OF
silence. There are two ways of endur.
ing the wrongs of life. An exclam.
atofy, ELUSIVE, protesting style of en-
durance; and silent, calm, dignified
endurance of trial, scourge, injustice
wrong. The quiet man has suffering
as well as the stormy man and not
always those who protest most loudly
feel most keenly the impression which
the iron is making on their souls.

A HOosier Lawyers Maiden Speech.

Some days ago | was called upon to

The old Squire sat on bench about
fourteen inches long. He looked as
modest as a foreign and domestic
liquor dealer His old lady took
seat where she could see the trial and
hear the "argamints."
After imDibing a small quantity of
the double distilled quintesseDce Of
blue ruin, which jug under the bench
contained, the Squire went to dark
closet and abstracted therefrom
huge book that looked like Shake
spears or Blackstone or some other
mans book.
He perused one page, (the first he
came to- and looked up and said:
"Accordin to law, there are two
ways of startin into the merits of this
here case. One is to pussekute and
t'uther to lonkin' arter the prisoners

perpendicular attitude and informed
the highly educated Squire not to
trouble himself about the defence, for
| was the veritable Lycurgus employed
and educated regardless of expense.
When the trial was supposed to be
In full blast, L rose to point of order,
and. with a sarcastic look of marvellous
nothiugness, proceeded in the follow
ing manner:
May it please the Court, the young

TO back to the perpendicular anti
podes of prosaic language, sir, and you
will find the old pod anger system
vanished into the blue of dark Obliv-
ion or rayless night.
These unworthy culprits are models
of artistic impunity, and you are ready
to shed your pandemonium vengeance
upon the afflicted comporosity of the
great community without stint and
with huge superstition.
The eye of an unworthy posterity
are looking daggers into your lacerated
heart. Your wife-the wife of your
inearpate bosom-stands ready to dis

If Mr.. Bristow refuses to resign,
President Grant is the last M N in the
world who should object to his contu
macy. The country has not forgotten
that Gen. Grant himself, when he was
Secretary of War, stoutly refused to
resign at the request of President
johnson, although he had taken the
office on an explicit promise to surrcn-
der it whenever the President desired.
His denial of that promise raised a
question of veracity between him and
President johnson, and all the other
members of the Cabinet united in tes-
tiiying that the truth was on the side
of the President. We hope Secretary
Bristow will stand as the resolute
champion of official honesty and refuse
to accommodate his enemies by his
voluntary resignation. = Nelo York;
