former pupil, said, "This quite d
stormy day, john" Eyes, sir" an
swered john" this is quite wet rain. ,
The teacher, thinking TO rebuke such
hyperbole, asked if he ever knew
of any other than wet rain? 81 new
er knew personally of any other"
returned John; but I've read In a
certain book of time when it rained
fire and birthstone, and that would not
be very wet rain." The teacher
griDned and bore it; nevertheless he
felt certain pride in john, after all.

POETRY.
The silver wedding.

Ring, ye wedding bells and swing,
Spin your wheels of golden sound,
Let your tongues by JOY unbound
OF the past and future sing!
OF the past whose happy strain
Nobler, higher, mightier proved
As the brave years onward moved,
Til to-day 1t turns agsin.
To the first, the opening key
That was pitched sweet and low,
A generation's years ago,
In the marriage symphony.
Ring again your merry din,
Like the April birds that bear
Promise of the full-blown year,
Ring the future gladly in-

On the road from the Mount o.

tenant Kitchener states that tradition
has long pointed out this spot as the
place where the Savior mounted the
ass for his trimphal entry info Jerus-

from the twelfth or thirteenth century
there is an almost square block of ma
sonry covered with paintings, which
are well executed bat badly disfigured
On the south side is represented The
raising OF Lazarus; on the north are tbs
disciples fetching the ass; on the west
there is nice covered by an arch which
was probably supported by two small
columns; below the niche is a portion
of an inscription still remaining. This
square block is supposed to be either
al altar, shrine, or a portion OF the
rock cut out and ornamented. The
wallis of the small chamber to the eseutt
are also painted with design of squares
containing circles, and the walls of the
church are painted in common pattern

Mr.. Hayes was glad enough to get the
votes of the black citizens, and when he
heard the news of the election of Mr.. Til
den he said he was cast down 10 sorrow at
the thought of the evils in store for them.
His regrets were not for himself, but his
heart bled for the poor African, a man, a
brother, and fellow citizen. Still, now
that he is in the White House, he wishes
no negroes around, except as boot-blacks
and door-teuders. Even Frederick Doug
lass, who is a man Of education, intellec-
tual ability, and eloquence, cannot enter
there when Mr.. Hayes has company,
though he holds an Office the incumbent
Of which is by custom the master of cere-
Hayes does not like his color, and so yes
terday when he had the Russian Grand
Dukes to dinner he called on Col. Casey,
the successor of Measurer Babcock. and
probably a man the intellectual inferior of
Mr. Douglass, to act in that capacity
This shows how Hayes really feels towards
the Black Republicans, who are the bone
and sinew of the party which voted for him,
and carried through the conspiracy to put
him where he could be visited by Grand
Dukes. He solicited the negro votes, and
his heart bled for the man and brother:
but he prefers to keep him at a distance,
Such is the policy of the Fraudulent Presi-
dent, who threw the sop of Douglass's ap-
poin tment to the Black Republicans. while
he put on them the brand of social degra-
dalton. We see by this act what sort OF
man Mr.. Hayes is.-N. y. Sun.

The Russian Seaboard.

From Cham6ers's Encyclopaedia.
The northern shores of the Russian
territories. which are washed by the Arc
tic Ocean, are deeply indented. The
White Sea, an immense arm of the Arctic
Ocean, penetratcs $50 miles into the main
land, and is subdivided into the CULTS of
Omega and Archangel or Dwina. The
other chief lnlets on the north Of Russia
are the Kara See and the gulf of Obi
and Yenisei. Westward from Nova
Zembla) the Arctic Ocean is navigsble for
three months of the year; east from that
island, the sea, even in the mildest season,
is encumbered with floating icebergs.
The chief islands in this ocean are the
Kolguef, Waigatz, Nova Zemla, and Spitz
bergen Isles.
The eastern shores Of Russia are wash
ed by the Pacific, subdivided into The
Behring, Okhotsk, and Japan Seas; and
the islands belonging to this country il
these seas are Sackhalin, and the Kurile,
Alentian, and Kadjak Isles.
On the south are the Black Sea and
the Sea of Azov. the latter communi-
eating with the former by the Strait Of
Kertch, and so shallow that it is navigable

Of the Caspian Sea Russia commands
the whole, with exception of the south
shore, which belongs to Prussia. The
northern and eastern banks of the Gas
plan are the seats of the chief fisheries o.

On the northwest of Russia are the
Baltic Sea, with the gulf of Riga, Finland
and Bothnia; and in these waters, the is
lands of Aland, Esel and Dago belong tt

near the shores of the Baltic renders the
navigation of this sea impracticable during

PoR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, underline edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought TO have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken

votes Of The people are open to no review
or correction by the highest judicial trlbu-
nal of the state.
These are facts, legal facts, and withal
as real as strong, as formal as law can
make anv facts. Senator Blaine's infer
ence from these facts, not stated, but i'm
plied bv him, is as irresistible as mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration. There is no dodg-
ing the conclusion. If President Hayes
holds his Office by just finding according
to law, then the title of Gov. Packard is
absolutely unimpeachable. If the title of
the latter be not valid, then the electoral
commission fell into most grievous mis-
take in counting the electoral votes of
Louisiana for Rutherford b. Hayes. Upon
this supposition we charge the commission,
not with intentional fraud, but with an
enormous blunder. Rel ublicans, in study
ing what may be called the logic of the
position, should not forget to study the law
logic of the case. We frankly give it up,
aud admit what the Democrats affirm
that if the title of s. B. Packard is not
good, then that of Rutherford r. Hayes is
not good We believe that the latter was
lawfully elected; but we could not so be-
ieve for a moment if we had not a like
faith 10 regard to the former. 1t is not
possible to hold to the one and reject the
other, without disregarding the clearest
evidence OF facts. Both stand or fall
together.
The same reasoning applies equally to
Gov. Chamberlain. Without the electoral
votes of South Carolina Rutherford b.
Hayes would not have been president; and
the same board of state canvassers that
gave him these votes, certified to the cleo,
ton OF members of the legislature, by
whom, with a quorum in each house, Mr..
Chamberlain was declared lawfully elected.
The two titles, hence, rest ultimately upon
the authority of precisely the same board
of canvassers; and this authority is good
in both cases or good in neither.
