called from the room for moment. In
His absence fly fell into his cup, and
Mrs. Hooper, wife-like, exchanged cups.
The doctor returned and drank his coffee
almost at One swallow. He at once de-

and asked his wife if she had exchanged
cups. She replied that she had, giving
the reason for it, when he exclaimed

The 6y is a very ANAL animal, and in

for this. and Of course We cannot ROM

shows that the battle Is not always for

hing this great truth. Man. with all
his strength and all his intellect, finds
himself just now totally in the power OF
the flies. ~ the lion was in the olden
days. We fight them by day. and We
fight them by night, but they always
come on victorious. That little bunch
Of wings is like the little "joker." You

GENERAL NOTES.

Ar the Assizes at Exeter. in England.
the other day. two cases were tried. n
directly following tho other. which to
the rejecting mind will present some
ineIplicable features. In the first case
. man Was charged with the m~anslaueh-
ter Of his wife at Devonport. He
pleaded guilty. The evidence Of a po-
liceman was that he struck her with his
clsnchsd nst, and she died in hall an
hour. The Judge. baron Amphlsti.
said there was no doubt that the pris-
onsr had struck his wife q violent blow.
Assaults on women should be severely
treated, and in order TO make q serious
example Of the prisoner, he would be
sentenced to six months imprisonment.
In the next case q marine store dealer
was charged with stealing four fiseces Of
wool. which were found in his posses
sion. and clearly identified by the pros
ecutor and his witnesses. The accused
said he bought the wool. The prisoner
had hitherto borno a good character.
The same Judge sentenced him to i've
years penal servitude. The discrep-
ancy In the two sentences rather sur
prissd the people in the court.
The petty prosecutions with which
the Prussian authorities in North
slsswick worry the Danish population
continue. The object now seems to he

The Rev. DR.. Harding on The public
mind" The public mind is as variable
as a weathercock; as tickle az Janus or
the Vicar Of Bray; it is here to-day and
there to-morrow-it neither forms nor
sustains principles, and is aver ready,
with the spirit of an assassin and the
treschery Of 8 mailman, to strike the men
who do form aud sustain them; in one
moment it has a spasm Of enthusiasm for
q national benefactor, in the next it hears
Of his death with indifference, and anon
suggests thst he should have e monu-
ment, and when asked to contribute
makes a wry face and complains of the
hard times; it mistakes silks and French
cloths for men and women; it applauds a
self.sold thief and political demagogue
and goes to sleep p~ooh-poohing the elo.
quence Of Charles Sumner; it has hailed
a God in Henry Ward Beecher and
shouted 'herstic' at Alexander Campbell;
its two chief characteristics are the ele.
ments out Of which Judas Iscariots and
coquettes are made; it sacrifices common
sense, aud murders taste and propriety
in frantic efforts to crawl under the Jug

RADICAL p%RoscRIPrION.

The Radicals in Congress are very
sweet all at oRce on ex-Union soldiers
and watt them to have the preference in
all the appointments in the House. 1t
il singular that they never thought OF
this before during all the long years they
have been 10 the a%ssendancy. Union
soldiers have been snubbed oftener than
favored at their hands, but since a few
hungry exConfeaerstes, mostly news
paper men at that, we believe, have Sc.
cared little appointments about the
capitol. the great national Republican
party, which claims to have saved the
Uuion on. the grounds that all men are
equal before the law, demands that none
bot Union soldiers be allowed to pick up
the crumbs of patronage that fall
from the government table Union
soldiers have been we'll paid and
we'll pensionsd. The South pays
tie share of taxes into the
National Treasury un%complaininglY and
recognizes the merit Of the true Union
soldier. 1t is nearly eleven years since
the war was over, and it might be sup
posed that the appointment OF the law
abiding ex-Confederate soldier to a sub
ordinate place under the government
might occur without stirring up the bad
passions and hates that grew out Of the
late unhappy struggle. This is the Cen
tennial and our one hundredth snniver-
sary as a nation, when all are invited
to a love-ieast at Philadelphia,
But it seems that rebels are
to take back seats there and at Wash.
ington; hat they are subjects Of the
government and not citizens. In theory
all are equal before the law; in practice
the Radical party monopolizes all the
loyalty and privileges Of the govern
ment. This is a small matter, yet il
shows the contemplate spirit which ami
mates the leaders ofthe Republican party
and the degradation they would impose
on the South if in their power. There
may be and doubtless are respectable
elements in the Republican party which
oppose such prescription, but somehow
it always happens that the loud-mouthsd
stay.at-home blatant demsgogues have
the public ear.
