A MOVEMENT has been on foot for
some time past in Washington, and
has at last attained to some strength,
to place Bishop Simpson, of Phila-
delphia, before the country as a can
didate for the Presidency. From the
fact of his being free from all politi-
cal stains and trickery,-a circum-
stance which can with difficulty be
said of any other candidate-and of
his long and useful public service,
coupled with his great sagacity and
Judgment, he will prove strong
candidate.

The country is being treated to
the usual instalment of SANDER that
generally precedes Presidential
campaign. The Democratic party,
through its organs and leaders, is
yelling, at the top OF its voice, "stop
thief!" in the vain hope that public
attention may be diverted from its
own rascality to the minor defects of
Republican officials. Fortunately the
people are too well informed as to
the respective merits of the two par
ties, and are not likely to be deceived
by the fleeing rogue's cry of "stop
thief! "-Repu6lsc.

ANOTHER prominent Republican
Senator has come to that era in his
existence when for the sake of pleas
ing ambitious Democratic Represent
atlves, he has to submit to an invest
igation- We refer to Senator Nor.
ton, of Iadiana. That undetermined,
incompatible, patriotic statesman,
Springer, went to the Treasury de-
passnent, one day last week, and
asked to see Morton's accounts from
ls4l to ls61-when he was Govern
or of Indiana. Mr.. Bristow very
promptly told Springer that It was a
very cheeky transaction, but that he
would allow it if Gov. Morton would
consent. Morton SAID ne would con.
sent if Gen. TerrllI,. who was his
financial secretary during the war,
was present, and the investigation
takes place this week. Springer ac-
knowledges that he has nothing to
base his Investigations upon but
suggestions of fraud" but declines
to state who made them. Springer
gave his information to the New
York World, and that paper, on
Saturday morning, came out with
the startling intelligence that Morton
was defaulter to the government to
the tune of s25O,Ooo. Such is the
way the Democrats are working it at
Washington, so intense is their de.
sire for obtaining political capital.

The British Cabinet held q meet
ing last Saturday, at which time it
was UNANIMOUSLY decided not to re-
turn Winslow, the Boston defaulter,
to the United States, by which act

and the United States government
will probably take measures to have
the extradition clause of said treaty
repealed.

Wives themselves are too apt to rate
their oWnsservices low, because they
earn nQnOney. Husbands even, il

best work done an, the world, the most

except TO. make continual drain upon
it. AL right-minded men know this,
or learn it as soon as they are taught
1t by hlgh-minded wives, and delight
in it, by virtue of their own nobility.
A very large part of the work that
earns money consists in changing raw
and useless; material into beauty, con
vienienee, and comfort. He@who con-

and deserves we'll of the republic. But
he who converts a helpless, shapeless,
pungy little animal into an honorable
and influential citizen of a great nation,
does an infinitely greater and finer
work than any mere newer of wood OF

man that needeth not to be ashamed,
though in a thousand instances he
never directly earns cent during his
whole lifetime.
The one duty of the race is it's own
elevation. Man does this indirectly by
material work; woman does it directly
by moral work. Thousands of men
would find themselves without profit

Dying Hindus and The Ganses.

In her interesting sketches of s'The
Orient and Its People, Mrs. Hauser
describes the mode of disposing of
their dead, which is practiced by the
Hindus. The Ganges is considered a
sacred river, and it's waters are be.
lieved to possess the power of healing
the sick, sanctifying the souls of the
dying, and cleansing the bodies and
souls Of the we'll from all impurities.
1t is the longing of every faithful
Hindu, when his final summons shall
GENE, to pass from the earth to the
land of the spirits with his feet sub.
merged in the blessed water of this
river, and with it's mud filling his
mouth, ears, and nostrils. Thousands
of the sick and, dying are annually
borne to it's shores in their last mo-
ments, that they may have. the assur-
ance of Immortality through a death
in it's embrace. After life has depart
ed, the bodi es of the Hindus are burn
ed on the banks of the Ganges, and the
ashes are thrown into the stream, or
they are placed on a raft, having a
lighted lamp at each corner, and are
pushed out into the current, while the
relatives watch the floating coffin with
eager eyes, until it sinks beneath the
water, or the crocodiles make mouth
full of it. ~ss=s4 :
"During the dry season. says Mrs.
Hauser, "human skeletons, nicely
cleaned and bleached, are seen scatter
ed on the sand. There is no telling
how many Hindus a voracious fish
eater devours during lifetime in
India. Z. One of the strange
sights that met us, qasswe entered the
Hughly River from 1.-THE ocean, was the
dead bodies floating by us, with birds
standing upon them. While at Cal
cutta, several ladies of our. company
wished to go to the railway depot
on the other side of river, and,
before we, could get the boat near
enough to the shore for them enter it,
we had to push away with our oars

Sometimes they were carried in carts,
