Mr.. s. S. Cox, who may now be called the
ex-Speaker pro tenn, seems to be in hard luck.
1t was reported few days ago that he would
not attend the st. Louis Convention, but 1t
seems, if later advices can be credited that
Mr.. John Kelly laid heavy hand on HIM,
and gave him to understand that if he ex-
pected denomination for Congress it would
be prudent for him to attend at st. Louis and
assist in defeating Gov. Tilden. Thereupon
Mr.. Cox having arranged, as he supposed, to
have his place as Speaker pro TEN. kept open
for him, started little reluctantly for the
West. The news must have Oyertaken him
on the way, that advantage had been taken OF
his absence to elect Mr.. Sayler Speaker pro
tem and leave him out in the cold. This is
hard luck. And now suppose he docs not
answer Mr.. John Kelly's expectations In the
Tilden fight, and that statesman goes back ("
on him Surely these are troublous times for
well-meaning persons who want to please
everybody.
New-York tribune., 1876-06-26

In Denmark, the Folllething or Lower House
has passed a vote OF want of confidence in the
Government, and closed the session. The King
is no doubt glad to be rid of the refractory
legislators on these terms Being IN accord
with the people they could have been more
troublesome had they desired to restrain the
Government from engaging in expensive ar
nlaments.

In London the Americans are actively pre-
pairing to celebrate the Fourth with due honor.

will no doubt arrive in good time to take part
In the celebration, and thus invest it with

Dom Pedro's rapidity as sight-seer has
passed into proverb. The fact that he is
unable in day or two to finish looking at the
Centennial Exhibition is strong testimony TO
its extent and variety. 0ur correspondence,
describing the Russian display, shows that
even country where the birth of art was
comparatively recent has been able to send a
large collection of artistic work to Phila-
dclphia.

STAND FAST.

In the last days many shall be as
sclouds without water, carried about OF
Winds And this is one of the special
perils of these ''perilous times" The
winds are let loose, and are now per.
forming their awful work of tossing
hither and thither these empty clouds.
Hence the instability that prevails.
Men are ''carried about with every
wind of doctrine" They are not root
ed and grounded in love; and having
never '.tasted that the Lord is gracions,
mol rested their weary souls on Him,
they 90 about seeking they know not
what. They want something that will
fill them, but not going to the Divine
fuIlness of the incarnate Word for 1t,
they wander on in sadness OF spirit,
vainly trying to soosh shsir uneasy
souls with every new doctrine or divice
that meets them in the way! All is
vain. For what can be a substitute Tor
God and His free love?
Amid all this instability, Fet us stand
fast in the faith" Let US be 'strong
in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. y
Let us beware of novelties in religion.
Let us gaafd against fckleness Of
opinion and hastiness Of decision. Satan
will let loose his blasts and call up his

THE WRoNG RooM.-He told his
wife that he must have immediate re-
lief or he could not live; thought q
mustard draft would relieve him. She
hastily robed herself, went down stains,
and found the Waterman, who admitted
her to the dining-room, and she spread
the mustard from the castor on her
handkerchief and fastened upstairs.
Finding the bed room ajar, she rushed
in, turned down the bed clothes, and
Immediately slapped the mustard draft
on the unconscious mans bowels. He
instantly sprang upin bed, and in a
strange voice, said: "My God madam,
what are you doing?" She had got it
on the wrong man. We leave the rea
der to imagine her feeling. She found
her own room, and In accents of horror
told her husband of the facts. The
extreme righteousness of the incident
sent him into strong fit of laughter
that relieved hira as thoroughly as the
mustard would have done. Early the
morning, before many of the guests
were up, a man, woman, trunk, bands
boxes, etc., left Salt Lake hotel very
unostensibly. The woman's name Yves
on the handkerchief.

A SORE BAcK.-Now that horses
have become considerably out Of con-
di,ion and tender during the late frost
we have experienced, the following
receipt may be useful to some OF your
readers, for I consider a horse with a
sore back almost, if not quite, as bad as
lame one: Let the sore place be
bathed with warm water, not too hot;
nor must the place be rubbed in the
least by the cloth, but it must be dab
bed, and this must be continued tor an
hour OF two, till white film comes
over tho wound, when it must be we'll
wet with a strong solution Of chloride
Of lime and water, and left so that it
cannot be rubbed either by clothing or
roller. 1t will get well almost i'm
mediately' There is no cure like this.
1t is also an excellent plan, when the
place Is only small, to have very thick
Fsaddle-cloth with hole punched in
exactly where the sore would press
against the saddle. I have just tried
this plan. with great suscess.-zHe

THE CONSEQUENCES OF NEaAzCT.-
A few years ago there was man
driven Into insanity by the remorse
arising from his own neglect. He had
been Waterman on a railroad bridge
in Connecticut, and it was his duty to
throw up signal light when the draw
was open, to warn of danger. One
dark night he unfortunately left the
draw open, and neglected to hoist up
the signal Soon a train came along
with unchecked speed: there was an
awful wreck, and many lives were lost.
When the poor Waterman was sought
on the following day, he was found a
confirmed Innate, muttering to himself,
with trightful look, 20 that 7 only
had!' He was taken to an insane asy-
lum, poor miserable being, and this
was all he was ever after known to say,
and that with piteous tone, 90 that
only had !"
His was the crime of neglect, and it
carried with Its own fearful punishment.
o how dreadfully does this incident
illustrate the fearful end of thousands
whose fatal sin has been that OF neglect.

ArTRAcT!vENEss IN WOMEN.

Personal attractions most girls pos

for, although there are standards OF
beauty, yet these do not prevail with
all people. The following sensible ar
ticle from leading paper in the West
will apply to the ladies of Louisville as
well as to the women of the locality
for which the article was intended {:
s'There is something wonderful IN the
difference of aspect which the same

this is that which is hidden from all
becomes Immediately and mstinctively
apparent to the eye of love. How can
a moderately good-looking girl increase
her attractions? By culture. She
must cultivate her mind An ignorant,
illiterate woman. even if she attracts
| attention, can not retain the interest
of an intelligent man. She must do
this by reading, by study, reflection,
and by familiar conversation With the
best and most highly educated persons
with whom she comes in contact. But
the heart must be cultivated as well as
the head. 'Ot all things, exclaimed an
elegant and refined gentleman-'of all
things give me softness and gentleness
in woman A harsh voice. coarse
laugh trihes like those have suddenly
spoiled many a first favorable impress
ion. The cultivation Of the heart must
be real, not feigned. A woman who
studies to appear rather than to be
good and generous seldom succeeds IN
deceiying the other sex in these re.
| spects. She who in truth seeks earnest
ly to promote the happiness Of those
around her is very apt soon to obtain
admirers among men. Above all
others requisites in a woman is con-
scienciousness. Without this one
touch stone of character, no matter
what her charms and requirements, she
can not expect to command the lasting
regard of any man whose love is worth

FOND OF His HoRsE.-Acoording to
the Worcester Spy, Gen. E. W. Pierce,
a citizen Of Freetown, Mass, is calmly
waiting the time when he and his horse
shall lie side by side in the same burial
lot. Once, when he was in the army,
it says, he was without food for q
whole day, and at night he took one
ear Of corn from six that had been
given to his horse, and, having roasted
it, made his supper on it, while his
his horse disposed of the other FIVE.
During the meal he resolved, if his
his faithful horse lived to get home, he
would keep him till he died, and then
bury him in his family cemetery.
When be had got home, this plan was
firmly opposed by his wife, who didn't
care to be buried beside dumb brute.
But he replied that she couldn't be
rbnried with him then, for he would be
buried with his horse if she wasn't
buried at all. The wife has since
obtained divorce, and there is now no
obstacle 30 his cherished desire.

against Him, and to save himself from
the agonies of cruel death. But you

When Philip Henry, the father OF

towards the end of his long ministry at
Broad Oak, on the words, "My yoke is
easy, and my burden is light" he ap~
pealed in manner which affected many
that heard it, to the experiences of all
that had 'drawn in that yoke" in the
following words: aCan now if there

Death of q Miser.

A Fond du Lac (Wis) paper says !:
sDavid Knitted, all old man of this city,
was found dead In the rear end of his
shop yesterday. He was miser of the
worst type, not buying sufficient food or
clothing for himself. He leaves $50, 900
behind him, which he had made over to
three of his nephews in Germany.
Knitted resided here and at Juneau for
twenty-four years. At the breaking out
of the late war Mr.. K. purchased large
quantity of liquors and started in that
business at Juneau, where he aocumu-
lated the greater portion of his wealth,
which is estimated by those who knew
him best at $50, 900. He removed back
here to his old howell. His sleeping
apartments consisted simply of hard
lounge in one corner of the dingy little
repair shop at the rear of the store,
where he wrought daily for the small
pittance he received from repairing di-
Implicated boots and shoes-and this was
also his dining-room. Ills outlay for
food could not have exceeded 10 or Is
cents per day, and his clothing has con-
sisted of cast-of garments which hepro
cured gratis. He hal sold all that was
human in his nature for money, and the
machine had stopped"

An Absent-Minded Wife.

The Indianapolis Journal says ga
few days ago gentleman Of this city
was astonished to receive a telegram
from his wife, who was at the Centen-
NAL, asking him for the name of the
hotel at which she was stopping. He
answered, of course, but the mystery
was not explained until her return. It
seems that while at the Centennial
grounds she became separated from her
friends, and finding tLat she could not
discover them was about to inquire her
way to the hotel, but was more than as
tonished to find that she could not recall
the name OF it, nor the street
upon which it was located. SO she
placed herself in charge of an officer
until her hush .nd's answer to the tele-
gram relieved her of the unpleasant pre-
dicament into which she had fallen"

A Bandits Bones.

The st. Paul Press and Tribune says
that brother of CIel Miller, the Mis-
souri, cut throat who laid down in the
streets of Mortified and passed into his
tory, came up to st. Paul a day or two
ago, to see if he could get possession of
the remains of his brother, the deceased
bunker. It seems that Clel WINS the
renegade member of an excellent and
respectable family, and that he has a
mother whose grief would be slightly
assuaged if the remains of her unworthy
son could be deposited in the family
burying ground. But, though sympathy
for the family will generally be rendered,
the bones of Clel can scarcely be re-
turned to their native Missouri, because
tthey are now mixed up with ton or
two of other amputated skeletons in the
medicine bone yard of Ann Arbor, Mich
iCan.

French Vital Statistics.

M. Leroy Beaulieu, commenting in
the Paris Deb0ts on the French vital
statistics of 1874, lays stress on the fact
that the improvement on 1873 chiefly
consists in an unusually low deathrate,
which cannot be expected to continue.
He denies that the low birth-rate is due
to a love of cehbacy, remarking that
France in 1874 had 800, lib marriages,
while Great Britain in 1875 had only
PSI, 100, though the French population
is only 10 per cent. higher. The births,
however, remain stationary, or, rather,
are fewer than from 1919 to- 1916 and
1860 to 1858. After urging that the
diminishing proportion of Frenchmen
to the whole population OF civilized
peoples is lessening their prestige aud
power, the authority of their laws, man
ners, language that emigrants are the
best commercial travellers, and that the
increased foreign demand for their pro-
auctions. on which national wealth now
depends. is incompatible with a sta
tionary population, M. Leroy Beaulieu
concludes by saying: The universe is
becoming Anglo Saxon or Russian this
is what grieves and alarms us"

Blowers.

Somebody says: "Man is the only
animal that blows his nose. The alliga-
tor has nose nearly two feet long, and
he never blows it. The elephant can
reach over his nose and tickle his hind
legs, and he often does, but he never
blows it. The blue-nosed balloon has
cruelean proboscis, of which the noblest
animal may feel proud, but it goes IN
blown, The double-nosed pointer has
immense capacity for blowing, but he
never will, and the oyster whose nose
reaches clear round to his back, refrains
from exercising it. Man alone has to
reach to the height of pocket hand
kerchief, and he proudly waves his ban
danna as sufficient evidence of his SUI
periority."

4 Turkish Prediction.

It is an old belief among the Turks
that they are to lose Constantinople, and
there are not wanting some who think
that their power in Europe will pass
away with the present Sultan. A rival
to DR.. Cumming has appeared in the
person of a venerable gentleman at
Beyrout, who fixes the duration of the
Empire at four years. A Maronite from
Beyrout says that the mans prophecies
have had wonderful effect upon the
Mussulmans of Syria. He foretold the
fall of Abdul Aziz several weeks previous
to that event, and is sure that his words
will prove equally true with regard to
Murad. The seer is said to obtain his
knowledge of the future, like DIR. Cum
ming, from the book of st. John.
