Democrats were absent, and the
Republicans, by refusing to vote,

Attendance Of the dominant party
would ensure a quorum, without

House, rs a whole, is not covering
itself with glory. The people
should look after their servants.

THE NATIONAL PARTY has made
Immense strides in the past year.
It cast over fifty thousand votes in
Pennsylvania last fall, and ten
thousand in Maine this spring,
besides carrying a number of cities
and counties in other States. It's
leaders claim the balance of power
in nine States. Tho objective point
of the party at present is to hold
the balance of power in those Legis-
Iatures that are to elect United

A GREAT MANY years ago, whe,

A GREAT MANY years ago, when
Washington was much greater
man than he now appears to be
considered, colossal monument in
his honor began to be built. Asso-
Citations were formed in every State,
and subscriptions from all sides
poured in. Even foreign nations
contributed tablets and ornamental
stones to the work. The design
was pantheon, hundred feet
high, topped by shaft rising full
six hundred feet higher. It WIS to
be big thing, two hundred feet
nearer Heaven than any structure
ever previously erected, except tho
tower of Babel. The engineers in
charge laid foundation only eight
feet deep, on clay and sand. When
the monument was hundred and
eighty fet high the foundation sank,
deflecting the shaft an inch or so
from the perpendicular. Engineor>
ing, stupidity and cessation of
public spirit manifested in the way
OF subscriptions, brought the work
to ON impotent conclusion. There it
has rested for years, q disgrace to
the country. Congress has just
walked up to the situation and pro-
poses to complete the work, on n
reduced scale, if it be found that
the foundation can be strengthened.
1t is estimated that three hundred
thousand dollars will erect the pile
TO the modest height of four hun,
dred and eighty-fve feet. The
completion of q monument to the
man that never told a lie will be a
pleasing evidence Of great moral
revival.

The ZACH CnANDLERs, of the Re-
publican party, are in a deplorable
state Of anguish in anticipation that
the Democrats will control both
houses of Congress in 1880, and
will count in their candidate for
president, regardless of the will of
the people. The Electoral Com
mission is precedent for all kinds
of frauds. It is this fear that
impels the Radicals to make such
earnest efforts to control the next
house.

REarARKs ON SpR1Na.-Spring j.

REMARKs ON SpnrNa.-Spring is
generally one Of the four seasons,
and usually occurs during the
forepart Of the year. It is u great
improvement on winter. and lovers,
poets and people hail it with
delight.
In the spring q young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
going to work--very lightly. Spring
unfolds her glorious and abundant
stores and presents us with every
thing but the money to buy them
with, md the consequence is that q
young fellow has to 60 to work or
continue to board with the old man.
The contagious and virulent spring
fever carries off more people, Ito
bed, or lays them gently to sleep in
the shade of the mournful willow, or
any other handy tree,) than all the
other diseases of the season. A
detection Of peach sprout has been
known to allay it little in boys
to be shaken while taken.
The business like bumblebee now
goes along singing at his work, and
he occasionally BUNDLES small bare
footed boys who chase him for q
butte fly.
Now is the time when the pro-
cocious boy leaves q vacancy at his
desk at school and goes off down
the creek to study tho beauties Of
nature and play soven-up.
Now is the time when the en-
chanting rural landscape stretches
away SO lovely and grand that the
poorest of us almost wishes he
owned whole acres of it.
Now is the time when the good
wife is out in the yard with SUM-
bonnet and old gloves on,
and broom in hand, directing
her husband how to rako up all
his old boots and shoes, and
old hats and paper collars, and old
boot jacks and tin cans, while he
wonders, (without pausing) why in
the world it is that sho manages to
do such q large amount of talking
to such little work ~ she does.

CURING CUTs.-Accidental cute
from knives, cutting tools scythes,
ETC., are moro likely to occur on the
face and limbs than on the body.
All that is requisite in general is to
bring the parts together rs accurate,
]y os possible, and to bind them up
this usually done by adhesive
plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed.
Nothing is 50 good for this purpose
rs paper previously washed over on
enc side with Il thick gum water,
and then dried when used it is
only to be wetted with the tongue.
When the cut b!eeds but little it is
we'll to soak the part in warm water
for q few minutes, or keep wet
cloth on it. This removes inAam
nation and pain and also a tendency
to fainting, which q cut gives some
persons. If the bleeding be too
copious dab the part with rag
wetted with creosote.
