CAUSE FOR TuANKFuLNEss.-On one
occasion Charles Dickens was upholding
the theory that whatever trials and diGi-
culties might stand in man's path, there
was also something to be thankful for.
LET me, in proof thereof" said Dickens,
"relate story. Two men were hanged
at Newgate for murder. The day arriy-
ed, and the hour approached the bell Of
St, Sepulchre's began to toll; the convicts
Were pinioned ; the procession was form
ed it advanced to the fatal beam the
ropes are adjusted round the poor mems
necl<s. There are thousands of motley
sight seers of both seXes of all ages
men, women and children, in front Of the
scatfold, when just Mt that time a bull,
which was being driven to Smith ield,
broke its rope and charged the mob right
and left, scattering people everywhere
with its horns. Whereupon one Of the
condemned men turned to his too equally
unfortunate companion, and quietly OBJ
served, Il say, Jack, its Il good thing we
amt in that crowd."

New WAY TO PAY OLD DfBTs.-A
singular way to obtain paymentof money
due a Hiudoo is for the creditor to plant
himself before the door of the debtor, and
vow that he means to remain there, with
out food, until the money is paid. AS a
point of honor, which is deemed impossi-
BILE to violate, the debtor must, in like
manner, remain without food and if
payment is not made, the parties imme-
diately begin to put their mutual power Of
enduring hunger to the test. This trial
might sometimes prove illusory, and,
therefore, the creditor usually makes sure
that the fasting OF the debtor is real by
cutting off his supplies. This kind Of
dhe1ma, employed by troops against their
paymaster, or the prime minister, or the
sovereign himself has often been efiectu
al in obtaining their arrears of pay. In
America the creditor often starves, but
the debtor grows fat by paying ten cents
on the dollar.

a MUssULMAN TRADITIoN.-The val
ley south of the Balkan, where General
Ghourka lost three thousand men in re-
treating .lore the columns of Suleiman,
is the center of the most remarkable spe-
cics of horticulture in .he world-otar
Of roses. The Mussulman tradition as
signs the origin OF the rose to the night Of
Mahomet's journey to heaven. The white
roses sprang from the drops of sweat
which fell from the forehead ofthe proph-
ct himself in his toilsome ascent the
sweat Of Borak, the miraculous animal
he rode, gave birth to the yellow ones /;
while the celestial drops which fell from
Gabriel We're the source Of the red rose. -
The appearance of the neighborhood OF
Kasanlik would favor IA suspicion that the
heavenward journey must have tried
the archangcl; and Count Won Moltke,
who was well acquaintcd with Bulgaria
and the Balkans, has styled ;he valley OF
the Tundja "the Cashmere of Europe, the
Turkish Gulistan, the land Of roses.'
Roses are not grown there in isolated
patches, but in fields and ridges, as if they
were no better than potatoes.

AN EDITORIAL GRAFTON. - Enoch
Emery is editor of the Peoria, Illinois,
Transcript. A few months ago he mar.
ried Miss Mary Whitestead, who at the
time was Superintendent Of Schools in
that county. In the course of time the
election season rolled around and the lady
aspired for a denomination before the Re
publican County Convention. Her hus-
band was a delegate, and the following
account Of how he presented her to the
Convention is given in an Illinois paper /:
"When Enoch Emery arose in the Peo-
ria County Convention to nominate the
candidate for County Superintendent OF
Schools, there came sudden lull in the
proceedings. Every one became inter
ested, and the delegates leaned forward
in breathless attention. One could have
bead n horse cough in that awful stiffness.
The emotion extended even to the good
Enoch himself. He arose, difidenty
toying with his spectacles, first cleaning
them with new cambrc handkerchief,
a nd then, placing them on his forehead,
said 4 put in nomination for the office
Of County Superintendent Of Schools,
Mrs. Mary Whitestead Ia long pauscl
Emery. [Fluttering among the delegat
es.l l nominated her four years ago,
[sensationl and as | was in some sense re-
sponsible for her as an official, got to
watching her. [Cheers.l | watched her
close and saw her real worth. [Encour-
aging cheers.l | was drawn nearer and
nearer to her. [Cries of Good Go on!l
'and the closer got to her the better |
liked her. [Storms Of cheers and yels
and cries Of Whoopec!l She was nom
mated without dissenting voice."

The OLDEST HUMAN RELIC. The
oldest relic Of humanity extant is the
skeleton Of one Of the Pharaohs, incased
in its original burial robes, and wonder
fully perfect, considering its age, deposit
ed in the British Museum, and Justly
considered the most valuable Of its arch
Hological treasures. The lid Of the cof-
fin which contained the royal mummy
WAS Inscribed with the name of its occu-
pant, Pharaoh Myllerimus, who succeed
ed the heir of the builder of the great
pyramid, about ten centuries before
Christ. Only think Of it! The monarch
whose crumbling bones and leathery in
teguments are now exciting the wonder
Of numerous gazers in London, reigncd
in Egypt before Solomon was born, and
only about eleven centuries or so after
Mizralm, the grandson Of old father No
ah, and the first one Of the Pharaohs had
been gathered to his fathers ! Why, the
tide mark of the deluge would scarcely
have been obliterated, or the gopher
wood knee timbers Of the ark have rot
ted on Mount Ararat, when this man Of
the early world lived, moved and had his
being His flesh and blood were con.
temporary with the progenitors Of the
great patrician His bones and shrivel-
ed skin are contemporary and with the
nineteenth century, and the date Of the
crucifxion is only about midway between
his era and ours.

An OLD PUZzLE.-"Tom," +" said a lady
to an acquaintance, "you have heard OF
the landlady who, having twelve dodgers,
to give each a single room, and only
eleven rooms, resorted to the following
trick haven't you ?" "Oh yes" says
Tom, "but blessed if / haven't forgotten
how twas done" "Why, the first two
she placed in room number one, having,
Of course, but ten then to provide for (;
and showing the third gentleman to room
number two, the fourth to number three,
and so on till the eleventh is in number
ten, then she goes back to room number
one, and taking the second gentlemen,
says Now, sir, you may occupy my
eleventh room.'"

TRUE CLEANLINESS.

Cleanliness is word that bears NOR
nj as well rs a physical Specification and
it is its moral signifcstion chiefly that
brings cleanliness up to its honorable
proximity to godliness.
We can hardly walk far in the streets
without perceiving that there are many
dirty faces, and also many dirty tongues.
How many there are whose mouths are
full Of cursing and bitterness, and under
whose lips is the poison of asps. Dirt
meets the eyes dirt meets the nose and
the foulest dirt meets the ear. 1t is bad
enough when violent provocation calls
forth burst Of angry profanity, but in
tinitely more so when basphemy and
lllth are altered in cold blood and CON
stitute the ordinary forms of speech
Any man may be melted to sin by temp
tation. But do not see what can tempt
a man to garnish his speech with the of
lal and filth Of language yet it is very
common among men-young men-who
pride themselves on being neat, on being
well dressed who would be ashamed OF
q dirty face who brush their hats and
coats, and take pride in their personal
appearance-and an equal pride in being
as nasty ms possible in their speech
thus illustrating Swift's rather severe re-.
mark: "A nice maa is man OF nasty
ideas"
My friends, you should set yourselves
resoIutely against this awful abomination.
You know better than | how prevalent i:
is, and what dirty tone conversation Of
ten assumes when young men get togeth
er in workshops and in their social gath
eripgs. When Christopher Wren was
building st. Paul's Cathedral he made it
rule that every man guilty ofusing pro-
fame language should be- instantly dis
missed by the clerk Of the works. | do
not appeal to employers in tins matter
bat to the men themselves. You know
that such language is detestable. | do
not speak merely OF protano expressions
but dirty expressions, which are still
more common. 1t you wish to be re-
gardcd not as blackgualds but as gentle
men then give them up. Do you wish
to have credit not for vicious but highly
moral tone of feeling, then give them up,
and discourage such language in every
possible way. Don't on any occasion al
low it to be addressed to you. Consider
yourself insultcd when any foul mouthed
fool speaks to you in this, the devils Ian
guage. If you have any right moral
sense, to say nothing Of religious prlnci-
pie, such language will be offensive and
disgusting.
Seta good example yourselves. Let
the words Of your lips be pure words, and
advocate among your companions the
total abolition of all nasty speech. Try
to purify the circles in which you move
The faculty Of speech is the noblcst yo,
possess. Consider who gave it to you
and for what purpose it was given anC
never prostitute it by making it the chan
mel Of filthy communications. For this
us well as for all other gifts, we shall be
held-and most rightrously shnll we b.
held respon-ible,-HeHty T5piette.

MEXICAN ANNEXA TION.
NONE INTENDED AT WASHINGTON.
RESIDENT HAYES AND SECRETARY HcRARY SILENCE
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE rRIuusk.I


THE RUMoRs ON TIE SUBJECT
IBY THE TRBusEl
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Yesterday dispatch
from Washington appeared in one of the New-York
papers stating III positive terms that the policy of
the Administration was to exert the whole force
OF the Government toward the acquisition of
the Northern States of Mexico. his very
startling proposition has been taken up and made
the text for editorials in number of newspapers
foolish enough to place faith in it, The President
said today that there is not shadow of foundation
for the report. No project for annexing territory be-
yOnd the Rio Grande has so much as been mentioned
in Cabinet. Tho manner in which the President
made this explicit and positive denial leaves little
room to doubt what his opinion would be If such
scheme should be seriously brought forward. He
seemed both surprised and indignant that the Adj
minIsGration should be charged with an intention TO
obtain by force diplomacy portion of the terri
tory of Mexico.
The gossip, of Washington say that Secretary
Evarts is favorable to scheme other for
pushing frontier south of the Rio Grande, but
one claims to have heard him say anything that
would warrant such report the story, like that
concerning the President, is probably destitute of
foundation Nobody appears TO want TO rob Mexico
of any pOruOn Of her territory except tine spectators
wno have bought up larg; quantities. of Texas depre-
datlon claims. Their plan IS to have the Govern
ment assume and pay these claims and reimburse
itself by taking a slice from the Mexican domain.
Speaking upon this subject, Secretary A.cCrary
said to-day that the Administration did not want
any of the soil or population of Mexico and that the
ouly thing in connection with Mexican Affairs upon
winch the Government is determined Is that the
raids across the Rio Grlnde border shall
stop; that as the Mexican authorities have
been either unwilling or unable to prevent these
incursons, the uniled States has Determined to ut
the fact THAI two Mexican deachments had recently
crossed the nyer and fought battle upon our soil
would tend 10 comp lea o our relations with the
Mexican Government, the Secretary replied that he
did not til ak any particular notice would be taken
of this affair bu that in view OF the definite
SOL mig ut well be used precedent. Under the
circumstances Mexico could not reasonably
plain if our troops IN pursuit of border marauders
should cross the river. The Secretary
presses much annoyance at the sensational
statements that seek to commit the Adj
ninIstration to aggressive policy toward
Mexico and he is evidently OF tie opinion
that these rumors originated with spectators, who
VISA to secure the payment Of claims held by them.
Some of the claims Tor losses of cattle which he has
xalnincd, Mr. McCrary said, demand compensation
not only for the animals actually stolen, but for
what would bave been the natural increase Tor a
period of years had the stock not been molested
