A man is said to be ''red" or white
with rage. In using these expressions.
we are physiologically speaking of the
nervous condition Of the minute ~circula.
ton Of the mans blood. Red" rage
means partial paralysis of minute blood.
vessels; and white rage means tenn.
pOrary suspension of the action OF the
prime mover of the circulation itself.
But such disturbances cannot often be
produced W ,thout the occurance of per-
manent organic evils of the vital organs,
especially of the heart and Of the brain.
One striking example is given by DR..
Richardson, in the case OF q member of
his own profession.
This gentleman told me that an
original irritability of temper wa per.
mitted by want Of due control, to pass
into u condition of almost persistent or
chronic anger, so that every tr.ie In
his way was u cause of understandable
irritation. Sometime his anger was so
vehement that all about him were alarm
ed for him even more than for them
selves and when the attack was owe
there were hours of sorrow and regret
In private which were ~ eXhausting as

4 Heather Parrot In q Christian Home.

A few days ago u citizen who had
been IN the lookout for n parro, for

Prospect street when the very bird he
wanted was suddenly discovered. Hav.
ing convinced himself that Poll WAS u

and bore her away from the colOred

pets. Ten days passed and yet Poll did
not utter a note, though she had every

The Chicago TIMES gives the fol-
lowing reasons why the Democratic par.
ty has been unable 10 regain its once
powerful position in the government OF
the country: For at least eighteen years
the Republican party has lived through
the moral perversity and mental imbe
cility of the Democratic party, princi
pally through the former. II the Demo-
cratic party had had the moral virillty
aud mental capacity to array itself on
the side Of freedom, justice, and homes
ty twenty-five years ago, and to stay oil
that side, the Republican party would
never have lived at all. The Republl.
can party was born, and has ever since
lived, through the perverse propensity
OF the Democratic party to get on the
wrong side of every important political
question, and stay there. Its last per-
formance was to get on the wrong side
OF the currency question. and make it
self the party of dishonest public fnan-
ciering and If reports from Washing.
ton are true, its managing spirits are
determined to keep 1t on the wrong side
OF that question. The men who dictate
Democratic party policy seem TO be
completely infatuated with the notion
that the way for party to win is to
make itself the champion of some spec.
les of wrong OF rascslity, aud that sue
cess sancti6es party, no matter how
abominable its doctrines and purposes.

In his report the Secretary of the Treas
ury announces to Congress that during the
past year he has disposed of $lOO,OOO,OO
worth of the new four per centum bonds,
and if the demand continues at the current
ratio he will be able to place at least $780,
100000 more of these bonds tluritig the
coming year. He is encouraged to hdpe
that in few years he can refund tho en-
tire phblic debt, which now pays six per
centuni interest, into these low interest
bordsJ and thus save to the Treasury an
chCrinous sum annually in interest. The
success Of this issue of securities will be the
basis of q recommendation from the Secre-
tary TO Congress to authorize the issue of
bonds Of l5w denominations, say from 80
up 500 each, bearing interest at the rate
3.G5 per centum per aiii.Gm.

THuE MESSAGE.

The most important features in the Pres
ident's message, (Which we print in to-doy's
,npcr), arc the following, The political and
sucial condition Of the South forms princi-
pal feature Of the document, lie regards
the general condition Of that section os bet
ter, on the whole, than in former years.
The occurrences in South Carolina and
Louisiana, as the President has learned them
from official reports, are clearly set forth and
criticized, and he declares his determination
to rigidly cnInre the laws Of the U. S. in that
section. Tho President docs not ask for new
legislation, but contends that under the Con-
slituton and present laws the General Gov
emmcnt has ample power to punish the
guilty, and guarantee all citizens freedom
in the exercise of political rights; and Con-
gress is requested to make appropriations TO
enable the Executive to enforce the law, In
this part Of the message there is no attempt
to kindlc sectional prejudice 1t is but Il
plain, straightforward presentation of facts,
and declaration of a purpose to carry out
the laws. Then follows reference to ira
portant points in the reports of Heads OF De-
partnents, which are before the public. lie
gives history of the fishery award, but docs
not recommend further action on the part OF
Congress. The President next treats of the
Mexican question, and reports an improved
condition of our relations with that govern
a.

If there is one thing more than another
that the average Congressman wants in
preparing his speeches, it is "(iggers."
There seems to be a peculiar sort of fascina
ton about" flggers," Every year the Treas
ury officials are called upon, and called
upon again, by Senators and Representatives
for a " few statistics" and official figgers"
The calls of members have already COM
menccd, and Judging from the number OF
them there are going to be good many
orations the coming session on national
banks" the silver dollar" and the general
condition of the country. When a Congress
man cannot crate on anything else, he
seizes the opportunity offered by "a general
debate" to get off something on the condi-
ton of the country" To do this properly
he must have iggcrs," and to the Treasury
he goes to get them. The principal calls for
statistics seem to be made on Treasurer
Gilillon and Controller Knox.

In the roport to Congress from Tho War
Department, the Secretary asks that either
the resolution prohibiting the use of the
military as posse comitatus be repealed or
modified so as to allow the President to use
the regulars in aid of the civil authorities in
certain cases, while the Secretary of the
Navy informs us that tho total Sighting
force of the navy may be rccIohed as COM
prising fifty-one cruisers and fifteen moni-
tors, to which may be added two torpedo
boats. IN case of necessity, four double and
one single turreted monitors now on the
ways could be speedily completed. OF su-
peranueteJl vessels there are now thirty
thrc" Many of these We're built during the
war and of unseasoncd timber, so that their
decay has been rapi,li and the Secretary says
the majority of them should be sold OF
broken up. The bona fide expenditures
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
amounted to $l3,3OO,913, thus being well
within the appropriation, which allowed for
over fourteen million.

-Tworecent decisions Of the Supreme
COust of Pennsylvania will show the
necessity of mechanics who fle liens
against property "for work done and
material furnished" that they must
comply exactly with the requirmeRts Of
the statue if they would have their
claims sustained, In one case the lien
"fOr plasteriDg and furnishing materials
for plastering two dwelling houses as
per contract" was declared fatally de.
fectiVe because the claim did not set
forth the kind and amount of material
furnished, and the time when the ma
teTIals were furnished and the work
done. In the other case the liens set
that the materials were furnished for
the "ereetiOn and construction" OF the
building, whereas the evidence showed
that they were for repairs Of the build
ing, and it was, therefore, disallOwed.
This is getting the law down to very
fine points, but mechanics are warned
by the decision that to make their liens
good, they must be very exact in s'at-
ipg their elsims.

- he report OF Secretary McCrary,
Of the War Department, contains many
points of interest. His general account
Of the state of the army, and especially
of its Improvement in respect TO the
number of desertions, from the time
when about one third of the whole army
deserted in a single year, is gratifying,
By the way, we doubt if any larger
proportion Of deserters than that from
the United States Army in 1878 was
ever reported in the history of any army
since that famous desertiOn in Egypt
reported by IIerodotus. "Hard times"
has changed that, for'men hold on now
to any place where they are sure of sup
port, and 'hard times" further has
done some service as far as the army is
affected by Putting within reach of the
recruiting sergernt men of sort he
never secs when Industries flourish.
Several excellent recommendations are
made in this report which is to be hoped
may receive the favorable consideration
of Congress. One is for law under
which thousand scouts can be employ
ed hey yond the number OF men to which
the army is restricted, and another is
for the modification of the law by which
t is forbidden to use the army as a
posse co mitatus. That has been found
great evil in some frontier districts;
and as the law was made for the sup
posed bcLefit OF the people in the south
ern States 1t would be well to modify
1t for other points. But the most note
worthy suggestion Is for authority
and means to print the documentary
records Of the history of the war now
in possession of the governments; These
important contributions to the history
OF the war can thereby be made accessi.
BILE to the people, and this suggestion
will assuredly find favor il Congress is
fairly representative OF popular opinion.
