WE believe that any effort to oust Hayes
and Wheeler and inaugurate Tilden and
Hendricks would injure instead OF bene-
fit the Democracy, and cause them to lose
the House Of Representatives that is to be
chosen next November. But, whether
such step would injuro OF benefit the
Democratic party, is not the issue. The
question is would it benefit or injure the
country? We do not hesitate to say that
we are Tor the country first, and for the
Democratic party afterwards. augusta

4 Silver State Carriage.

A Calcutta parer says it has rarely seen
anything in manufactures in that city 50
worthy Of notice as a state carriage Just
built for his Highness, the Maharaiah Of
Jheend. It is one of the most remarkable
outcomes Of the blending Of the skill:
workmanship, and solid d,---3...= 10y
,s..9 esst;, 81 oriental taste. It may be
described as a stale pbaeton, with coach
box and hind rumble all fitted with hoods.
The body is Of graceful design and very
light and elegant IN appearance, but the
peculiarly is that the whole Of the panel
ing, mouldings, iron-work, springs, wheels,
and pole are covered with massive silver
plates, while the splashboard and wings
are literally solid plates Of the precious
metal, the whole enriched with leaves OF
lotus flowers and pepul leaves, also Of sil.
yer richly chased and heavily gilt, while
on the centre of the panels, also ablaze
with gold, arc the armorial bearings Of the
Maharaiah. The interior is fitted in The
most luxurious manner with cushions and
bangings Of rich blue tabouret, edged with
broad rich velvet lace, heavily embroider-
ed with pure gold. The lamps -four IN mum
ber) are Of solid silver, richly chased and
gilt, and bear his Highness arms upon the
glass. The carriage has been ingenionsly
designed with double under frame, e
that, when the Maharajah may fancy te
handle the ribbons himself, the eoach-boz
can be removed and the wheels brough
much closer together. There is over 25,-
600 telahs weight Of pure silver on the car
rage.

It Was Alive

He was rather an uncouth looking fel

the crowd sitting on the barrels winked Al
each other and made remarks about his

"Where did it come from ?" asked one
pointing at him.

allow me to depart IN peace, said the new
arrival
One of the crowd, more daring than the
rest, hammered the mans hat down over
his eyes, and another dabbed his nose
full of molasses from barrel standing by.
Then the poor Christian took a small
volume from his pocket and began read
ing the scriptures, IN a drawing, sing song
tone.
While he was engaged in this the crowd
played all sorts Of tricks on him.
One put some eggs in his pocket and
another mashed them,
Then the biggest man in the house
poured some oil on his hat and lighted it
Then the clerk hit him under the
nose with cod-fs
Then the man quietly put the little
volume in his coat tail pocket, and the
clerk went head first into the molasaes
barrel. When the biggest man in the
house picked himself from under the coun-
ter it was next to an impossibility to tell
where his nose left off and where the cod
hsh began. No. made work for the gla-
zier as he knit ventilator in the wind ow.
No. hatehed out half a barrel of eggs,
and No. 3 got up on the pie shelf and
stayed there. As No. 5 walked out of the
door on his back he wondered how much
it would cost to make him as good as new,
and the poor Christian man remarked:

NOES AMY ONE CARE FOR FATHER.

Does any one care ought for father?
Does any one think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders
The cares of the family come
The father who strives for your comfort,
And tolls on from day unto day,
Although his steps ever grow slower,
And his dark locks are turning to gray
Does any one think Of the due bills
Hos called upon daily to pay,
Miliner bills, college bills, doctor bilis?-
There are some kind of bills every day.
Likea patient horse in a treadmill,
He works from morning till night
Does any one think he is tired?
Does any one make his home bright?
Is it right, just because he looks troubled
To say he's as CROSS as bear?
Kind words, little actions Of kindness,
Might banIsh his burden of care
'TiB for you he is ever 10 anxious
He will toll for you while he mag live;
In retnrn he only asks kindness,
And such pay is easy to give
