A Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before his departure for
India, the lamented Heber preached
sermon, which contained this beau
tiful sentiment:
"Lfe bears us on like the stream
of mighty river. Our boat glides
down the narrow channel-through
the playful murmuring of the little
brook, and the windings of its grassy
borders. The trees shed their bios
SONS over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seem TO offer
themselves TO our young hands; we
are happy in hope, and grasp eager,
ly at the beauties around us-but
the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along wild
err food, amid objects more striking
and magnificent. We are animated
at the moving pictures of enjoyment
and industry passing US, we are ex-
cited at their short-lived disappoint-
ment. The stream bears us on, and
our joys and griets are alike left be-
hind US. We may be shipwrecked,
we cannot be delayed whether
rough or smooth, the river hastens
to It's home, still the roar of the
ocean is in our ears, and the tossing
of tho waves is beneath our feet, and
the land lessons from our eyes, and
the floods are lifted around rs, and
we take our leave of earth and it's in
habitants, until OF our further voyage
there is no witness, save the. In
finite and Eternal"

The Republican u. S. officials are

settlement with an implied pledge to

The Count.

Louisiana has now,been counted for
Hayes. The vote in the Commission
stood for Hayes and Z for Tildcn.
When the decision of the Commission
was reported to the Senate and House
an excited wrangle occurred in both
bodies. In the Senate the decision of
the Commission was sustained every
vote for it was by a Republican and
every vote against it was by Demo-
crat. II was the same in the House.
The Commission was a Democratic
invention. The Democrats resolved
to stand by the result as declared by
this Commission, yet every one OF
them when a test comes goes back on
the compromise" by which he had
solemnly pledged himself 10 stand or
fall Fortunately the feeling through
out the country is different. Promi-
Gent Democrats have come to the con-
clusion that the Tilden fraud has dis
turbed the business of the country
long enough. They still have hope
that some decision of the Commission
will take away vote from Hayes but
if not they will Loyalty and honorably
submit. If the Commission continues
it's good work 1t will indeed prove it.

this process. is the chosen President,
a calm will follow that will bring the

together than they have been before

Beating A Dead Beat.
detroit Free Press.1

For some days past an unknown
female has been in the habit of max
ing an afternoon trip on the Wood
ward Avenue cars, generally getting
aboard at Jefferson avenue and rid
ing to Brady street. The first two
or three times she paid her fair
promptly enough, but the next trip
she wrote something on card and
handed it to q gentleman, and be
paid her fair. The next trip she
waited till the driver rang the fare
bell. and when she saw him lookin G
through the door she advanced and
held up card on which was writ
ten:
81 am deaf an dumb"
The driver didn't want to create a
scene, and she rode as dead head.
Next day she went through the same
performance, but when she boarded
the car on the third afternoon he
was ready for her. He had every
reason to believe her fraud. as she
bad been heard to speak In car CON-
ing down. When she entered the
car she took a scat and began read
ing, seeming to have no earthly in
terest in the fare question. here
are no conductors on the route, and
The driver controls both doors. Be-
fore Brady street was reached the
unknown female was the only pas
senger. She rose and rang the bell
at the street, but the driver paid not
the least heed. She rang again, and
he hurried up the horse. Then she
tried to pull the bell off the car, but
the man never turned his head. The
woman rushed 20 the door and push
ed and tugged till she was red in the
face, but not an inch would it bulge.
Rushing to the front door she pound
ed the glass in furious manner, and
by and by the driver accidentally"
looked around. She gestured wildly,
and as he shook his head in stupid
way, she hold up her card, which
said 81 am deaf and dumb" The
driver fun bled around for two or
three minutes and brought out
placard on which was printed
$50 am -
They were then about half mile
above Brady street, making excellent
time, and the woman's indignation
was so great that she shook her fist
at the driver and screamed OUT
"Ill have you shot for this"
He held up bis card, shook his
head, and paid no further attention
to her flood curdIing threats. At the
turn-table, a mile and bait above
Brady street, the door slid back, and
the woman jumped into the mud.
She blessed that man from crown TO
sole, and she blessed all his relatives
back to the revolution, but he did
not seem to hear her. As she start
ed off she called out:
"You are monster, villain, sneak,
and theft"
He gave the lines shake, got the
card from his pocket. aud she was
not too far away to read the ans yer:
$50 am l !"

stated positively to Tilden that the
latter would cost SIS 900 and the for
mer SO 900. Reluctant as Tilden
was to pay out that amount of mon
ey on contingency, he, or some enc
for him, telegraphed Sunday.
NEW York, December 8, 1876.
The Hon. James III. Kelley:
Telegraph Hemlock to go ahead. You shall
be reimbursed. Do not fail All important.
Advise progress.
That dispatch was not signed. No
signiture was needed. 1t was in CT
pher. Only Tilden or Pelton could
have sent it, and to all iDteDts and
purposes they were one. The same
day Kelly telegraphed:
PORTLAND, December 8.
w. T. Pelton, Is Gramercy Park. New York:
| will be at the Grand Hotel, San Francisco.
Monday. Be Salt Lake City three days there
about. Have to borrow money on my individ-
ual responsibility in trust You can replace il.
K
The next Wednesday the college
would meet. Monday passed with
out any dispatches. Evidently no
progress was made in bribing an,
Elector, at least no "advices' were
sent as directed. Tuesday came, and
the conspirators at the capital of Or
egon began to be anxious about the
money. They telegraphed
SALEM, Ore, December 5, 1876.
w. T. Pelton. is Gramercy Park, New York
Can't you deposit the eight with Charles
Dmond, subject the order of Ladd and Bush
of Salem? Can't get money here. Must
have it Wednesday? Telegraph me at Salem.
Vier will not fail DEMOCRAT
The one word "Vier" is unexpain-
cd. is not important to the sense.
The next day, the Wednesday refer
red to, came the unsigned dispatch !:
SAN Francisco, December 6.
Hon. James II. Kelley;
The eight deposited as directed this morn
ing. Let no technicality prevent winning.
This was the last of the batch.
1t will be remembered that Pelton
and others testified to the return to
New York of one New York draft.
The explanation is now perfectly
plain. Neither Odell or Cartwright
could be bribed, aud so the money
designed for that purpose was return
ed, except the $4,000 exacted by
Cronin.
The foregoing autographs record
of infamv is enough to cover the
name of Tilden with shame unspeak-
able, and Make it sy nonym for pol
itical rascality for all time to come.

ing, il is well to have forty days OIL
quiet, in which to medicate on her
sins. and decide what she shall get for
her Spring clothes, and see that they
are properly made up. Then there
are the art galleries to go to. and the
shops, with quiet card parties in the
evening. The services in the swell
churches make very good substitute
for the opera, especially as only opera
singers are employed in the choirs.
Fashionable religion is very salts
factory thing The yoke is made
very easy.
Labor.
There are fifty thousand men in the
City of New York, out of work, with
every prospect of remaining so till
Spring opens. There was but little
building last summer, there has been
none doing this winter,and in all the
mechanical pursuits stagnation has
been the rule. Everybody wears their
boots and clothes month or two Ion
ger than they did, and nobody buys
anything in the way of furniture or
furnishing who can avoid it, and con-
sequently heavy per cent. of those
formerly employed in these pursuits
are sitting still, and many of them
starving. You can get men by the
hundred for 80 cents day, and strong
men are willing to take boys places
at 81 q week. The wages that are
paid are fearfully small. A car-driver,
exposed to rain and frost, standing on
his feet from FIVE in the morning till
ten or eleven at night, gets $3.50
day. "It's hard times,' said one to
me; "but what are you going to do?
IF should quit, there would be a
thousand applyin' for the place in an
hour. I'm glad to get even this"
And women! why an advertisement
for a woman TO do anything, at any
price, will bring thousand answers
by noon of the day it appears. The
charities are overburdened, and pri-
vate individuals are beset. The pro-
fessional mendicant, with thousand
different lodges, takes away large
part of what the really honest poor
ought to have, and SO half,fed, and
not clothed at all, they exist somehow
waiting till the Spring opens, and
some kind of business commences.
Business
Begins to show slight improve
ment. There are great many mer-
chants in tie city from the South and
West, and they are buying more ill.,
orally than for some time. The re
sumption of business by tie manufact.
urers Of New England are doing
something to make better feeling,
and the indications are that there will
be good business for these times in
the Spring.
Prayer in Wall Street.
The most curious phase of the re-
ligious feeling now prevailing, is the
series of prayer-meetings daily for the
Wall Street gamblers. The bulls and
bears have been finally touched, and
the place of meeting is daily thronged
with them. And they show a great
deal of feeling; let us hope that it will
stop some of the gambling that has
made that street by-word and a re-
proach. If they should all get de-
Gently converted it would make will
