President HATEs was interviewed, arent
the recent elections, and pronounced it as his
opinion that the Republicans succeeded be-
cause they had boldly taken up the financial
question and talked some sound ideas to the
people. What was needed to get rid of tie
inhatoni-t clement, he continued, was
debate and the incubation Of right ideas
Timidity in dealing with political issues,
which was the weakness Of all our public
men, was especially prevalent among South
ern politicians. He thought :he whole lesson
of our political life was that nothing
was so conducive to success as pluck and
vigor in graphing with false ideas and
wrong ideas The President believed in South

A New Way to Pay old Debts:

A proposition has recently been made
that the national debt can now be paid
of by the imposition of an annual tax
$50 on generals" $40 on "colonels,"
and S5 on "majors." There is no doubt
of this. The enormous revenue that
would accrue from such a source would
in very short time wipe out the entire
debt. After this it could be applied
to the settlement of the labor problem,
as the fund would be sufficient to make
a handsome distribution per capita for
the whole country. It is a wonder that
General Butler and Mr.. Kearney have
not thought of this before. 1t would
be no use to impose tax on any title
below the rank of "major," for Captain
Vance, the appointment clerk of the
Treasury Department, says that so far
as be can discover he is the only "cap-
tain" left, either in the Union or Con-
federate armies. This is sad, but in lieu
of "captains," a tax might be paid on
Judges" Even in the present dull
times there are not less than 1000
"iudges" in Washington alone, and the
"generals" and "colonels" are simply
countless. Many of them would doubt
less find it difficult to pay the tax, but
sooner than part with the title they
would manage to squeeze it out

Luxury.

Flood, the California millionaire, is
building what will, it is said, be the
finest private residence in America.
Yhe grounds include 1,4O0 acress
on San Francisco Bay, comprising a
natural park ready for Improvements to
any desired extent. The house is 100 by
200 feet in area, and resemblesa French
chateau Of the old style. Verandas
surround it, and the roof is broken
with many gables and two towers l40
feet high. The entire exterior is very
ornate. Among the apartments are
several parlors, music room, dining
room, breakfast room, billiard room,
library and wine room, the latter being
of uncommon size. The dining room
is one hundred feet long, so that great
dinners may be given in it; but most of
it can be shut off, leaving room of
comparatively small size for ordinary
use. Five years will be consumed in
completing the house and its surround-
ings. Mr.. Flood also contemplates a
city residence of corresponding mag
ni6cerce.

Stingy Men,

I despise stingy man. 1 don't see
how it is possible for man 10 die worth
fifty millions of dollars, or ten millions
of dollars in a city full of want, when
he meets almost every day the withered
hand of beggary and the white lips Of
famine. How q man can Withstand all
that, and hold in the clutch of his hand
twenty or thirty million dollars is past
my comprehension. I do not see how
he can do it. l should not think he
could do it any more than he could
keep 4 pile of lumber when hundreds
and thousands were drowning in the
sea. Do you know 7 have known men
who would trust their wives with their
hearts and their honor but not with their
pocket-books-not with dollar. When
/ see man of that kind I think he
knows which is the most valuable.
Think of making your vito beggar
Think of her having to ask you every
day for dollar, or for two dollars, or to
humbly beg for fifty cents / What
did you do with that dollar I gave
you last week p Think of having a
wife that is afraid of you What
kind Of children do you expect to have
with beggar and coward for the mother!
Oh {! I tell you if you have got but a
dollar in the world. and have got to
spend it, spend it like man; spend it
as though it were dry leaf and you the
owner of unbounded forests! That's
the way to spend it. I had rather be
beggar and spend my last dollar like a
king, than to be king and spend my
money like beggar. fits got to go,
leiit 60 !! Get the best you can for your
family-try to look as we'll as you can
yourself. When you used to go
courtipg, how nice you looked! All,
your eye was bright, your step was
light, and you just put on the best you
could. Do you know that it is insult
ferable egotism in you to suppose that
woman is going to love you always
looking as bad as you can? Think of
it! Any woman on earth be true to
you forever when you do your level
best.

How High Can Men LIVE ?

Mr.. Webber states that in Thibst he
has lived for months together al height
of more than fifteen thousand feet above
the level of the sea, and that the result
was as follows: His pulse, at normal
heights only sixty-three per minute, sell
dom fell below one hundred per minute
during the whole time he was at that
level. His respirations were often twice
rs numerous in the minute as they are
at ordinary levels. A run of one huns
dred yards would quicken both pulse
aud respiration more than run Of one
thousand yards at the sea level, and the
higher the level the greater the difficulty
of walking or running fast.
He crossed the shoulders of the Gurla
Mandhatts at height of some twenty
thousand feet, and found the greatest
difficulty in getting his breath quickly
enough, had frequent and violent head
aches, and found that his native guides
and companions suffered much moro
than he did.-London Spectator.

Light as q Motor.

working model ofa very interesting
machine is now being exhibited in a
New York shop window. It is the
invention of an Englishman, and con-
sists Of four disks attached to arms
radiating from central revolving post.
One side ofeucfl disk is painted black
and the other white. The black sur
face absorbs and the white surface
repels light, thus revolving the machine.
In order to avoid friction with the at
mosphere, the machine is placed under
glass cover, firm which the air has
been exhausted. 1t is not heat that
moves the disks, and that the motive
power IS light alone is proved BY tho
fact that the machine will work even if
placed in an ice house. The light of a
candle will cause the machine to revolve
slowly, and calcium light will iucite
rapid revolutions. The model on exhi-
bition is worked by ordinary daylight,
but it is not touched by direct rays Of
the sun. 1t is in the shade.

A PARABLE:

Once there was o mule. 1t had a
pair Of timber legs with heels on the
end of them. Mule thought his master
did not give him enough to eat. So
one day as the boss was passing behind
him he lifted up his heels and boosted
him to the other side Of the barn. This
is what Mr.. Mule calls q strike. He
thought he could get all the corn he
wanted now. Presently he wanted wa.
ter. He didn't get it though. He
wanted corn. He didn't get that. He
went to bed that night without his sup
per. Next day he didn't have to work;
he didn't have to eat, either. He could
not imagine why that master OF his
didn't come to feed him. The next
day was the same, and the next. Be-
fore that mule got anything to eat again
he had grown so gaunt and gentle that
he was willing to keep his heels on the
ground. The strike had ended.

BEYOND THE STARS-WHAT

q
'Tis easy to trace the soul to the hour
That dcprives the form Of its breath;
But who shall follow the spirits flight,
When it seeks the portal Of fdcath?
Who rend the Will that hides from our view
The future, beyond the bright stars?
Who follow the spirits upward fight,
When it breaks through our earthly hars
What-ah. what is our future state?
And where. oh where is the goal
Which Christians say is the resting place
And home Of the deathlcss soul?
Is it beyond the dark blue sky
Beyond where the stars now shine:
Where the angels sing tirir song ofpraise
To the spirit Of God divine.
Can life he the end Of all our hopes?
Is the struggle with death all Ger?
Or is there life beyond the tomb.
Where the soul lives evermorc?
Does the soul exist when life has flown,
Or sink. like the corse, into night?
Let us rather believe the brilliant mind
Still continues It's upward flight.
Let US think that the soul can never die:
That its mission will never end;
That there is q land beyond the sky.
Where friend will still meet friend;
That, freed from the turmoil and ills of life,
From It's troubles. wound and scars,
Tbs soul will worship the God of Light
In His mansions " beyond the skies
