Tact.

People cannot help having been
born without tact, any more than
they can help having no ear tor
music; bat there are occasions
when it is almost Impossible TO be
quite charitable TO q tactless person
Yet people who have no tact de-
serve pity. They are almost al
wsys doing or saving somelhing to
get themselves into disgrace, or
which does them an injury. They
snake enemies where they desire
friends, and get reputation for ILL
nature which they do not deserve.
They are also continually doing
other people harm, treading on
metaphorical corns, opening the
cupboaEds where. family skelet lns
arc kept, angering people, shaming
people, saying aud doing the mosI
awkward things, and appologizing
fOrithetp with q sui mOre lierfibie
blnntpeSs. q If there is' o6e social
boon more to be desired than anoth
er, itis tact; for without tact, the
career OF the richest and most beau

An As1onI.ned Duechman.

A Dutchman in the Pennsylva-
MIA oil regions let his lands to an
oil company last spring on condi-
ton of receiving one eighth of the
oil procured. The well proved to
be pretty good one, and the far
mer began to think the oil men
should give him better chance,
and ventured to tell them SC. They
asked him what he wanted: He
said they ought to give him one
twelfth. The arrangement was fl
nally made, with the understand
ing that the Dutchman was not to
tell anyone. All went smoothly
until the division day came, when
our friend was early on hand to
see how much better he would be
off under the new bargain. Eley-
en- barrels were rolled to one side
for the oil men and one for him.
''How's dish?" said he. 81 think
1 was to get more as before. You
have made some mistake" Tue
matter was explained to him that
he formerly got one barrel out of
every eight, but it was his propo-
s:tion. to take one out of every
twelve. The revelation took him
aback. He scratched his head,
looked cross and relieved his
swelling breast of feelings of self
reproach by Indignantly remark
ing, .Well, dat ish the first time as
ever I knowed eight was more as
dwelve.' Miners Journal.

a Hard winter ON the Plains.

The stock men on the Laramie
Plains have been passing through
the hardest winter known since
the settlement of that country.
The basin, which is bounded on
the northeast by the Black Hills,
on the southeast by the main
range of the Rockies. and on the
southwest by the Wasatch Noun
tains, has long been regarded as
one of the richest pasture regions
of the continent. The grass of
the numerous valleys is SO nutri
tious and the range so wide that
stock ordinarily live the year
round without hay or grain. The
present winter, however, has been
remarkably severe. The snow
covers the whole valley to the
depth of two feet, and in some
places it is three feet deep. Cattle
are dying by thousands from ex-
posture and starvation, and the
sheep are not much better off.
The horses will likely get through
the winter; they have sense
enough to paw the snow away
with their feet and get down to
the bunch grass, and so manage to
pick up living. The horned cat
tie, standing in the snow, belly
deep, make no exertion to help
themselves. Stock owners have
prospected for hundreds of miles
to the north and south for open
pasture, but the snow holds the
entire valley in its embrace. Hay
shipped from the east or west
would cost as much for transpor
tation as the cattle are worth; so
nothing caa be done but to wait
until sunshine and showers dis
solve the snow. 1t Is estimated
that there are two hundred thou
sand head of cattle, four hundred
Thousand sheep and about fifty
thousand horses in the section of
Wyoming Territory above desert
eed. About fifty thousand head
of cattle were driven down from
Montana to winter on the Lara
ME Plains.-San Francisco Bull

President Hayes gives the Or
der.
EXECUTIVE MANsTfoN.l

WASHINGTON d. C. Apr, 3, '7T.5
SIR Prior to my entering
upon he duties of the Presiden-
cy there had been stationed, by
order of my predecessor, in the
State House at Columbia, s. c.,
a detachment of U. S. infantry.
Finding them in that place, L have
thought proper to delay deci-
sion of the question of their re-
moval until 1 could consider and
determine whether the condition
of affairs in that State is now such
as to either require or justify the
continued military occupation of
the State House. In my opinion
there does not now exist, in that
State, such domestic violence as
is contemplated by the constitu-
tion as a ground upon which the
military power of the National
Government may be invoked for
the defence of a State. There are
grave and serious disputes as to
the rights of certain claimants to
the chief executive Office of that
State, but these are to be settled and
determined, not by the Executive
of the United States, but by such
ordcly and peaceful methods as
may be provided by the Constitu
ton and laws of that State. /
feel assured that no resort to vio-
lence is contemplated in that
quarter, but that on the contrary
the disputes in. question are to be
settled sorely by such peaceful
remedies as the Construction and
laws provide. Under these cir
cumstances, and in this confidence,
1 now deem it proper to take &C.
ton In accordance with the prin-
ciples announced when / entered
upon the duties of the Presidency.
You are therefore directed to
see that the proper orders ars is
sued for the removal of said
troops from the State House to
their previous place Of encamp-
ment.
(Slgne3,) R. B. HAYES.
To Hon. George w. McCreary,
Secretary of War.
The following letter was sent
to Gen. Sherman by the Secretary
of War:
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
April 3rd, 1877.
To Gen. w. 7. Sherman, Com
handing United States forces.
GENERAL:--I enclose herewith
q copy Of a communication from
the President of the United
States. in which he directs that
the detachment of United States
troops now stationed in the State
House at Columbia, Sc, be with
drawn and returned to their pre-
Vious barracks or camping
ground. You are hereby charg-
ed with the execution of this
order, and viii cause the with
drawal to take place on Tuesday
Lext, 10th of April, at - o'clock
noon. Z Very respectfully, your
obedient servant

ga glance at the foregoing list shows
that gold is no longer the type of prec-
iousness in the metallic world as far as
commercial fig ures have anything to
do with the matter. While gold is
worth a few hundred dollars pound,
many other metals run into the thou
sands; and some day, when such cur
rent prices as the foregoing are better
known, the figures of speech relating
to value may undergo some changes.
AS humorous friend suggests, we may
some day use Indilm as a sort of unit
of preciousness, and may speak of
good fellows as worth their weight
in Vanadium."

GIeaaings.

What makes the Dead Sea dead !? Be-
cause it is all the time receiving, never
giving out anything.
Malice, scorned, puts out itself; but
argued gives a kind OF credit to q
false accusation.
A FreDchman has invented a talk
ing machine. Will he call it Mary or
Sarah or Susan?
1t requires good deal of poetry to
gid the pill of poverty, and then it will
pass current only in theory the reali-
~ is dull failure.
The Thomas orchestra has common
ced open air concerts, and the mid
night is full of melody, chunks of coal
and light articles of furniture.
If thou are master, be sometimes
blind; if servant, sometimes deaf.
Men who have reached mature years
without attaining any reputation on
which they can stand, may soon sit
around on boxes IN front of the stores
again.
A member of the shabby gcnteel
class calls at the residence of wealthy
fin8ncier and asks if the master is in.
''He does not receive to-day" answers
the servant. "That makes no differ
ence-I don't want him to receive, bu t
to give" replied the other.
1t is more from carelessDess about
truth than from intentional lying that
there is so much falsehood in the world.
We read on the forehead of those
surrounded by a foolish luxury, that
Fortune sells what she is thought to
give.
It is queer sight, that of a Boston
girl and her beau at eventide trying to
look at Venus through the same teIe-
scope, but it is queerer one when a
visiting lover hides in Chicago girls
oVershoe in the hall while her father
parades the house with big club look
ing for the invader in vain.
The wisdom of the ignorant some
what resembles the instinct of animals.
1t is diffused but in q very narrow
sphere, but within the cirle it acts
with vigor, uniformity and success.
The grave hides every error, covers
every defect, extinguishes every re-
sentiment. From its peaceful bosom
spring none but fond regrets and ten
der recollections, Who can look down
upon the grave of an enemy and not
feel a compunctious Jhrob that he
should have warfed with the poor
handful of dust that lies Wondering
before him.
AS ships meet ut sea a moment to-
gether, when words of greeting must
be spoken, then away upon the deep,
so men meet in this world, and think
we would cross no mans path without
haiiing him and, if need, giving nj ID
supplies.
Grief and misfortune seems to be in
dispensable to the development of in.
telligence, energy and virtue. The
proofs to which are submitted, as with
individuals, are necessary then to draw
them from their lethargy TO disclose
their character.
The greatest men have not always
the best heads; many indiscretiOns are
pardoned 70 brilliant and ardent i'm
agination. The prudence and discre-
ton of cold heart are not worth hall
so much as the follies of an ardent
mind.
There Is false gravity that is very
i'll symptom, and it may be said that,
as rivers which run very slowly have
always the most mud at the bottom, 50
a stOlid Stiffness In the constant course
of mans life is the sign eff thick
bed of mud at the bottom of his brain.

Metal Price-Current.

We copy from the Pharmacal Ga
zette OF October 9th, 1875, the follow
ing price-list of metals, which received
the finishing touch from John II. Sniv-
ley. The prices given were never
more than approximate, and SUISSE
quent changes have not made the table
more accurate. The table serves for
general comparison of the metals,
which include, in addition TO those tab
uiated, Lanthanium, Tantalum, Thori-
UNI, and Caesium mot yet articles of
commerce. The worlds supply of
some is still less than pound.

Der it: "Life-long discomfors and

should never be aAlowed to go to
sleep with cold feet; the thing to
be last attended to is to see that the

this has often resulted in Il danger

fatal sore throat. Always on com.
ing from school, on entering the
house from q visit or errand in
rainy, muddy or thawy weather, the
child should remoye its shoes, and
the mother should herself ascertain
whether the stockings are the least
damp. Ii they are, they should be
taken off, the feet held before the
fire and rubbed with the hands till
perfectly dry, and another pair of
stockings and another pair of shoes
put on. The reserve shoes and
stockings should be kept where
they are good and dry, so as TO be
ready for use on minutes notice.

A natural gas well within the
limits of Wyandotte City, Kansas,
on the Wilderman farm, has be-
come one of the Western wonders.
1t was discovered by 8 company
while prospecting for coal. The
company did not value the flow of
gas at first, fearing the gas would
become exhausted. The company.
have built u large gas tank and gas
holder, and so soon as the frost is
out of the ground will Icy street
mains to convey the gas into the
city of Wyandotte, and ultin ately
to Kansas City, Mo. This well
furnishes pressure enough to force
the gas in any direction desired.
1t Is not only convenient for heat
ing purposes, it proves most excel
lent fo- light. For small cost the
gas can be purified SO as to make
it equivalent to seventeen candle
power. Coal gas, ordinarily dis
tributed through Western towns,
is seldom over fourteen candle
power. Experts from the Penn
-sylvania oil regions have visited
this well, and after careful examin-
alton state that it produces gas
enough to light a larger city than
Kansas City. and they give it as
their opinion that the supply will
prove inexhaustible. The gas is
similar to that produced by petro-
leum wells of Pennsylvania and
salt wells of New York aud other
Eastern States, where gas flown g
from springs has been used for
fuel and light since the time of
the earliest inhabltant. For in
