voluntarily reduced it half When

THE House of Representatives, Oh
last Monday, passed the Infamous
Mathews resolution, which declares
that it is no violation of the faith of
the nation to pay the holders of its
bonds in deprecated silver coin This
is the preparatory step to the passage
of the Bland silver bill, the effect of
which, if it becomes law, will be to
pay the laboring men of the nation for
a dollars worth of labor with ninety
two cents worth of silver coin. As
might have been expected, the resoIu-
ton received the support with two
honorable exceptions) of the whole of
the Solid South" Not content with
their efforts to destroy their country,
they now seek to paralvze its industry,
destroy its credit, and blacken its honor.

THIS is an age of wonders, not the
least of which is the fact that Bannon,
the head center of the ring, has been to
Richmond and bought a bell-punch
and is preparing bill, which he in
tends to submit to the Legislature,
leVylng q tax upon each and every
drink of whisky or other spirtuous or
fermented liquor that his thirsty follow
ers may hereafter take. We have heard
of people SO mean that steel trap
baited with sixpence aud set upon
their pillow, after they retired for the
night, was sure to catch their soul be-
fore morning, and of others that would
not scruple to steal acorns from blind
pig; but these were generous people
compared with this man who owes his
place and power to whisky. And then
the absurdity of the thing. Why,
Michael, what would Democracy be
without whisky? and you, of all other
men, to strike death blow at the bour-
bon and the Bourbons!

Very little has been known of the

ly interesting region ornithologically.
Some recently published notes by
George b. Lennett, of Erie, Pa, are
therefore welcome, and contain much
news. The country worked over, as de-
fined by the author, clay between Point
Isabel, on the coast near the mouth of
the RIO Grande, and point few miles
above Hidalgo, embracing distance of
100 miles by road or 800 miles by river
The result of the trip was the securing.

new to our fauna and one new to our
science; about a thousand eggs, many
of which are new or rare; few NAM

A Butter Joke.

Mr.. Atkinson is farmer, and very
fond of joke Recently he wrote to a
business house in Boston, with whom
he is on terms of intimacy, as follows:
II will send you the finest butter, next
week you ever saw. The first lot will
weigh about sixty pounds-Will divide
the proceeds of sale with you." En-
couraged by the liberal terms of the
offer, the firm advertised extensively
that they were prepared to fill orders for
dairymen and produce merchants for
the finest butter ever sent to market
The butter arrived as promised, butiwas
inthe form of most ferocious goat of
enormous size, which was no sooner
liberated from the crate than he COM
menced career of the mostlunbrldled
viljainy ever witnessed. He knocked
the senior partner into the corner, and
butted three of his ribs out; b the junior
partner took refuge on the top of some
bales of wool, but the goat jumped after
him and butted him off on the floor, and
prodded him with his horns until he
was insensible. After knocking about
things generally, SO that each member
Of the firm looked as if he had been in
vited to a first-class massacre, he
wound up by a determined assault upon
q thrashing machine. The |" first class
butter" was at last caught with a
rope and sent to the city pound.

Eureka (Ney } Sentinel.

Eureka (NeY J sentinel.
A Eureka teamster is noted for the
affection that he betrays for one Of the
mules in his outfit, the most obstinate
and mangy-looking animal in the string,
and his tenderness for Nancy, as he
calls her. has passed into proverb.
Upon being rallied upon this peculiari-
ty by chum, he discoursed as follows:
=" / used to have a sweetheart back in
Injiany that was orfui gon en-, and this
yere cussed mule has so many pints
in common that my heart just yearns
over her. She were as likely gal as
ever run barefooted in a cornfeld, but
she were too cussed obstinate to enjoy
good health. You never knew just how
to take her. She'd look you right smil-
ing in the eye, and you'd think thar
were more sugar IN her nor in New
CLEANS molasses hogshead, and if you
laid yer hands on her unexpected like.
she'd kick the breeching in less than
minute. That's just the way with that
mule. l reckon she's cost me nigh on
to $500 for harness, saving nothing
about doctors bill for a broken leg;
but you get into a place whar the mud's
deep and the rest of the team kerfum-
mixed, and call onto her for assistance,
and blast my eyes ifshe won't pull her
self clear out of her hide to help you
out of your trouble That were the
very way with Nancy. The summer
fore 1 emisra | were mighty sick
with the ager, and got the milk fever
on top of that: and were pretty nearly
ready to cross over Jordan, but she
nussed me, helped her ole dad all day,
and sit up with me nights until she was
Il shadder, but she pulled me through,
and then she advised me to emigrate to
Californy. | hated to go away; it were
like persuading hungry hoss to leave
a pail of oats; but thar war no use, she
were bound to hev her way, and |
came. That war fifteen years ago, and

gal? She overdone herself takin' care

The home consumption has much de-
creased, but the falling off in the export
of cotton yarn and cotton goods has not
been considerable in the last three years.
In Lancashire the depression is largely
felt, two-thirds of the mills paying no
dividend, and being at a discount in the
share lists. The cotton lords vow and
declare that they are beaten by the En-
glish hands, working nine and half
hours a day, having to compete, with
the days work of eleven or twelve hours
a day abroad, with low wages. This
does not hold good in the United States.

Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,

Has pressed it on my mind,

Adventurous. dangerous far 4ss -
To the wild deep, or bleak frontier, J..
To solitude or war. 90
Still something cheers the heart that dafes
In all of human kind:
And they that go are happier
Than those they leave behind 4

With doubling and with tears;
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy tears! ~A.''
Alas! the mother who remains, agaf4 -
What comfort can she find fr
But this-the gone is happier
Than the one she leaves behind.
Have You trusty comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have sn end.
And when you part-as part you will
o take it not unkind,
If he who goes is happier
Than the one he leaves behind.
God wills it so, and so it .is!
The pilgrims on the way,
Though weak and worn. more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when at last, poor man, Subdued.
Lies down to death resigned.

Than those he leaves behind!
