What the Choir Sang Abaut the New
Bonnet.

A foolish little maiden bought foolish
little bonnet,
With a ribbon, and :, feather, and bit of
lace upon it;
And that the other maidens of the little
town might know it,
She thought she'd 20 to meeting the next
Sunday, just to show 1t.
Bnt though the little bonnet was scarce
larger than dime,
The getting Of it settled proved to be a
work Of time:
So when twas fairly tied. all the bells had
stopped their ringing,
And when she came to meeting, sure
enough the folks We're singing.
So this little foolish maiden stood and
waited at the door:
And she shook her ruflies out behind, and
smoothed them down before.
Halleluiah. hallelniah" sang the choir
above her head
. Hardly knew you. hardly knew you"'
were the words she thought they said
This made the little maiden so very, very
cross,
That she gave her little mouth twist, her
little head toss:
For she thought the very hymn they sang
was all about her bonnet,
With the ribbon and the feather and the
bit of lace upon il.
And she would not wait to listen to the
sermon or the prayer,
But pattered down the silent street and
hurried up the stair,
Till she'd reached her little bureau and i'll
handbook on it,
Had hidden safe from critics eye, her
foolish little bonnet.
Which proves, my little maidens, that each
of you will lind
In every Sabbath service but an echo Of
your mind;
And that little head that's filled with silly
little airs
Will never get blessing from sermons OF
from prayers.

The wet nurses of both parties are in
great tribulation on the currency question.
Things are badly mixed, and both sides are
sorely exercised on this subject. The only
thing that can be agreed upon is the imme-
diate repeal Of the blundering resumption
act of the last Congress. Among the Dem
ocrats there seems to be no likelihood Of any
affirmative action being taken in the mat
ter. They should unite on the repeal Of the
Specie Resumption act, and on an issue OF
subsidiary silver coin, which would be a
compromise between paper currency and
gold. They should Immediately unite on
on the adoption of some policy most likely
to improve the currency and recuperate the
business of the country.

THE efforts to defraud the renenue In
whisky began when Congress, for the pur-
poses OF taxation to carry on the war, i'm
posed the high tax. When this measure
was passed there was an amendment ex-
empting from the tax all whisky that at the
time of its passage was in bond This was
passed under the pressure Of powerful
lobby, and was really as nefarious piece
of business as the act creating the Credit
Mobilier Ring. From that time to this the
Whisky Ring, with more or less assiduity,
according as the Secretaries of the Treasury
we're vigilant in their duties, has fourlshed'
1t had power under Lincoln, an administra-
ton which, notwithstanding the war, was as
corrupt in many phases Of subordinate duty
as any we have ever had, which sent gener'
ais to the field who were utterly incompe-
tent, and began the horrible work of recon-
struction by appointing men without char
acter or ability to "administer justice IN
the South. Then came The saturnalia OF
corruption in the time of johnson, when
leading whisky thieves were in the conf
dence of the administration, and when
whisky was sold in the open market for less
than the tax.

LIKE all insurrections in mountainous re

LIKE all instructions in mountainous re-
gions of country, the Carlist revolt in
Spain, still holds out, notwithstanding the
inferior number of the insurreetionists, and
the prospect for internal tranquility is not
altogether fattering. The leader of the re
volt seems to have despotic authority over
his followers. 1t is to be hoped that the
Carlsts may soon be put down, and that
Spain may turn her attention to Cuba, and
administer Justice to that unfortunate and
unhappy portion Of her domain. There is
always something to mar the happiness and
prosperity Of the Spanish people who have
one of the finest countries in the world.
May they soon be in the enjoyment Of that
internal tranquility to which they have been
| strangers so long.

The Democratic Liberal Party, Of Con-
necticut, in it's late platform OF principles
adopted, demand cessation OF subsidies 70
corporations, and the reservation OF pubic
lands for actual settlers.
The Secretary Of the Interior IN his lsst
report shows that during the year enolng
June 30, 1875, 7,O7l,27l acres OF public
lands were disposed of, and OF these the
railroads got the lions share, 3,lo7,64'
acres having been certified to them. The
Homestead entries took up 2,357 ,o57 acres.
These were sold for cash 745,06l acres, and
these were certified to agricultural schools
common schools and universities, lol, 100.
Of the surveyed lands of Uncle Sans DO
main there yet remains 6sO,253,os7 acres
and cf unsurveyed lapds, 1,154,47l ,762
acres. Let the balance Of our vast domain
be reserved for the tillers OF the soil, hewers
of wood and drawers of water.
We see that the House Committee on
public lands recommend the passage OF bill
repeating the present requirement in the
Timber Culture law of contiguity in the
forty acres to be planted with trees, and TO
allow the forty acres to be distributed at
will throughout the quarter section. such
an amendment of the Timber Culture law,
is proper and commendable, and we hope
it will be apodted.
