Webster and Hayne.

Webster once told his friend Harvey
that several years before the great de-
bate with Hayne he had investigated
the whole subject Of the public lands for
the purpose of opposing resolution of
Mr.. Mckinley, a Senator from Alabama
proposing to cede the public domain to
the States in which they were situated.
The question never came up, and Mr..
Webster said" had my notes tucked
away in pigeon-hole, and when Hayne
made that attack upon me and upon
New England, [ was already posted, and
only had to take down my notes and
refresh my memory. In other words"
said Mr.. Webster, eff he had tried to
make a speech to fit my notes he could
not have hit it better No man is in
spired with the occasion. Inever was"
Of the many anecdotes about what took
place between Mr.. Hayne and Mr.. Web
ster afterwards, Mr.. Harvey says there
were many which Mr. Webster charac-
terized as untrue, but he vouches for
the following: Mr.. Webster met Mr..
Hayne that night at the Presidents re-
ception, and, as he came up to him, Mr..
Webster remarked pleasantly: How
are you to-night?' ''None the better

: A Horse Protecting a Dog.

70 what extent the horse may be en-
2dowed with any power Of reasoning may
bea question but the intelligence that
he som etimes exhibits is certainly some
thing more thanfinstinct. Some months
ago poor dog, having been pelted with
sticks and stones by cruel boys until his
flesh was bruised and his leg fractured
Hmped into7a stable. In one of the
stalls was an intelligent young horse,
which seemed touched by the distress
of the dog. He bent his head and in
spected the broken leg; with his fore
feet pushed some straw into q corner Of
hesstall, and made a bed for the dog
One day,iwhen the horse was, eating
the brani mash which formed part of
his food, he gently caught the dog by
the neck, and, with his teeth lifted hin,
into the trough For weeks the two
friends fed together, and the invalid
grew strong At night the horse, ar
ranged a, soft. bed for the dog, and en-
circled him with one of his fore feet
showing the utmost carefulness.. Such
humanity might well be. emulated by
the human race. SIS :. s.

ne poverty,

The treasury statement for the week
ending December 22nd, continues to
show an increase of national bank cir
culation. Not long ago it was 1915 ,O0O,-
900, and now it exceeds $32O,OOOOOO.
This increase began in early autumn,
and has continued slowly, but steadily
up to the present time. 1t is by no
means certain, however, that this III
crease in bank circulation is any indica-
ton that the business of the country is
improving, on the contrary it is pretty
well known that this increase is due to
the probability that congress will pass
the silver bill. The contraction in this
particular currency was due to the
preparation on the part of bankers for
resumption in 1879, and while there is
not any likelihood that bill repeating
the resumption act can be passed, the
use of silver, if an unlimited coinage act
is passed. will make resumption much
easier matter for the banks, and it is in
consequence of this that the bankers
have been gradually increasing the
amount of national bank bills. If the
Bland silver bill should become law
in the shape that. it passed the house Of
representatives at the special session, it
is believed the banks will increase their
circulation considerably, as the resunp-
ton act will not greatly trouble them if
they can redeem their notes in silver.
On the other hand if the silver bill
should fail to become a law and the re-
sumption act remain unrepealed, the
banks would begin again to contract
their circulation SO that the humber Of
outstanding notes to be redeemed in
gold after JANUARY, 1879, would not be
too great. afi = it.D .sau 5Hgs 81

Light-Heartedness Of Japanese Chill.

One Of the first lessons presented to "a
foreign teacher in Japan is the reason of
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One
may walk for hours through, the streets
of Toxic and scarcely ever hear child's
cry Of distress. Four principal causes
of this superiority of the children of
Japan over those of other nations have
been suggested by an English lady resi-
dent there. They are worthy of the
attention of the teachers at home. The
style of clothing, loose and yet warm, is
far more comfortable than the dress of
our children Japanese children are
much more out in the open air and
sunshine. The absence Of furniture,
and, therefore, absence Of repeatedly
given instructions " not to touch. . The
thick, soft mating, forming at once the
carpet and beds of all japanese houses,
and the raised Intel. on to which the
child may. Chamber as it grows strong,
constitutes the very beau ideal of
an infants playground. Children are
much petted, without being eapriciously
thWarted. A child Is not cuffed one
moment and INDUCED the next. 70
these four most suggestive reasons the
writer would add fifth, which is, that.
Japanese character is so constituted as
to bring their elders into strong SYM
.pathy with the little ones. 1t has been
well said that" Japan is paradise for
babies, :. for, you may see old and young

THERE is to be a crusade made against
the present patent laws when congress

repeal of many Of these acts it
would be fortunate thing for the
country, but such crusades are likely to

present case, however, the patentees
who have their little acts of protection

probable that many of these vicious

A Quaint Legend of the Rainbow.

According to popular belief in Ger
many, the extremities of 9 rainbow
always touch streams, whence it draws
water by means Of two large golden
dishes. That is why it rains for three
days after the appearance of rainbow,
because the water must fall again on the
earth. Whoever arrives at the right
moment on the spot where the rainbow
is drinking can take possession Of the
golden dish, which reflects all the colors
Of the rainbow; but if nobody is there,
the dishes are again drawn up into the
clouds. Some say that the rainbow
always lets dish fall This once hap
pened at Reu,lingen, in -Suabia. 1t
broke in several pieces, but the. finder
received hundred gulden for it. At
Tubingen people used to run to the end
Of the rainbow, which appeared to be
resting over the Necker OF the Stomach,
to SECURE the golden dish. Usually it is
considered wrong to sell the dish, which
ought to be kept as an heirloom in the
family, for it brings good luck, A shep
herd in the Suabian Alps once found
such a dish, and he never afterward lost
a sheep. An unfortunate native of
Heubach, who sold the treasure, at a
high price, was struck dumb on the
spot. Small round gold coins, marked
with cross OF star, are frequently found
in Suabia, and the peasants declare that
these were manufactured from rainbow
dishes by the Romans when they in
vaded Germany. In the. Black Forest
the rainbow used a golden goblet, which
it afterward dropped, A shoe thrown
into rainbow comes back filled with
gold. The Servians have a theory that
passing beneath a rainbow. changes the.

promote their civilization A large
number of these Indians have selected

signifed their desire and purpose to
abandon their tribal relations, and adopt
the habits and customs of civilized peo-

leges of that act, but in many instances
are unable to do so on account Of their
extreme poverty. ss sg f...
