Five pairs of eyes prcrng down III" lane
Trying to SEQ thro' the INST and ran,

The clock on the mlntcl has just struck

Which tell, they've to wait one half hour

Neforc the train, with its rsttl" and roar,
Will bring their paper home
Five little faces clean and sweet,
nmplrd' fingers and dancing feet,
W.li.brn.hcd jackets and aprons nss4,
For papa is coming home
Over the track with it's lights 50 bright
The long train glidcs in its rapid flight,
And five littlr children are happy tonight
For papa IL coming hoin".
The whistle sounds, the gates nswing,
Footstons clattcr and voices ring,
Rcd lips kiss aud white arms cling,
For papa has come homo.

Your correspondent was Informed to-day
by two members of the House, who have con-
stantly been on intimate terms with Mr..
Hayes, that the President is now anxious to
have the advice of Republicans in Congress;
that he is, in fact, willing to return to the old
way of making appointments. The revival
of the system of sending circulars to mem
bers, asking for name OF man for an
office, when vacancy occurs in the men,
ber's district, will be Immediately put in
operation. In short, Mr.. Hayes feels that
his first year has been failure, and he is dis
posed to cultivate friends in Congress-
Washington Special to ST. Louis Republican.
There is good deal of scattering green
back talk all over the country. 'A strong
movement is reported on foot in Missouri
and southern Illinois to bring forward Brit
ton A. Hill OF st. Louis as candidate for the
Presidency in 1880. 1t is interesting to learn
that Mr.. Hill sis well known and very popu-
lar in all classes all over Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, and Arkansas" But nothing is said
about his strength in Maine, and we fear he
wouldn't run as well in the Pine tree state as
the editor of the Bangor Commercial. Still,
perhaps Hill and Emery wouli answer the
requirements of both sections.-SprinqfeId

The administration has made good many
mistakes; but it will make the greatest mis-
take of all. If it takes the expression Of the
good will of voters as license to do as il
pleases; if it imagines that it can repeat blum
ders Indefinitely without losing the confidence
of the people, or that it can afford to do any,
thing less than to make the standard to
which its best acts conform the rule of all its
acts. A happy and cheerful temper becomes
cabinet as it does any other association of
men; but, unless it is accompanied with exc
cutive energy, the voters of New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, and all the other states
will presently be asking: "What is the use

Mr.. ScHLEIcHER of Texas asks his constit-
uents these questions, and the questions are
good for this latitude:
1-Who pays the interest on the national
debt-the bondholder or the taxpayer?
2-Whose advantage is it to get the bonds
placed at the lowest possible interest-the
bondholders or the taxpayer?
Sis there any way to get low interest other
than by good credit?
Ain what manner does nation obtain good
credit? Is it like an individual by two
elements, viz: Honorable dealing, and respon-
sibility upon liens on property or upon property
subject to judgment and execution; or is it by
one element alone, viz: honorable dealt ng,
being judge in his own cause and not subject to
execution?
5-Why do the English pay only per CEN
tum on their national debt, while we pay for
the greater part of ours?
6-If we could reduce the interest on our
debt by elevating our credit) to the same rate
as the English, how much would we save every
year, and would that saving he to the bloated
'bondholder' or to the taxpayer?
7-lf we are too proud to learn from the ex.
perience of our early history and from that of
other nations, who has to pay the expenses
that we incur by our pride-the 'bloated bond
holder or the taxpayer?
8-After answering the above, does it appear
that the man who pleads for honest dealings
and good credit, or very low interest, which is
all the same, is champion of the 'bioated
bondholder,' or champion of the taxpayer?

people; the greenbacker wants rags for both.
