To Rest is to Die.

Our seasons of rest are 80 few and so short
that many hard workers have forgotten how to
enjoy them. Some men, long worked hard,
must go on working. There is no other chauce
for them. To sit down is to break down; to
rest is to die. Indulgence ia work is in one re.
spect like indulgence in strong drink. Having
got into it you must go on; otherwise there
come manifold morbid and painful experiences.
There are those who tell you that once they
could be moderately happy when resting now
they dare rest no more They may try to make
work less urgent, less feverish; bat it will not
do to stand still. They ara kept sane and SER
viceable only by giving the mind perpetual oc-
cupation. Every one remembers how Luther
said, ~ rush out among my pigs rather than
sit still and do nothing" 1t is sad, but it is
true, that human beings, not much like Luther
in any other characteristic are like him in this,
that they dare not have quiet think. Hence,
the sorrowfol resort to alcohol, opium, cbloral;
hence the craving for unconscousress, which
is temporary humiliation. If pigs can help
you, as they helped Luther, be thankful! Some
folks, both Clever and good, need more than
any pig can do. even such an animal as q poetic
breeder. proud OF its age and dimensions, called
are self-suficing. All human beings who have
attained middle age must be buttressed from
without. 1t may be sacred nature, green grass,
green trees, gardening, pigs, horses, human
companions, worry or quiet occupation, but the
longer live the more assured am that most
men live in mortal terror of themselves. Years
ago,short years but good many, when this hand
was young 1t wrote discourse on Michael SCOTS
Familiar Spirit, which las the legend goes) de-
manded that its master should provide it with
constant work or it would tear him to pieces.
Thus, in parable, is set forth the educated mans
relation to his own mind. You must find it
ceaseless occupation, or it will make you mis-
cradle. The little girl of seven years had
found this cut, who cried: so read me story
to make the time pass quick" People find it
out waiting tbree-quarters of an hour at coun-
try railway stations They will diligently read
all the advertisements stuck about the squalid
shed rather than sit down idle. They will read
right through the leading article of the Little
Peddlington Courier. One saw all this early.
One sees it yet more plainly now-F'raser's

contiguous foreign territory passed.
House went into committee of the whole on post
Office appropriation bill.
vi ing letter carriers into two classes those who
have served over year and those who have not
served one year the former to receive $1,000 year
and the latter $500. The amendment was ruled out
on poiDt of Order.
Mr. Kelley declared the carriers were the worst
paid AMI the most overwOrked employees of the
Government and hoped some effort would be made
during the present session to relieve that deserving
class of men.
Mr. Cannon moved to increase the aggregate
amount appropriated for the pay OF letter carriers,
provided that the amount received by any carrier
shall not exceed the amount which he now received
he did not desire to increase the pay oI letter car
riers but he wished to give the Pos tmaser Gene al
money by which he could furnish additional carriers
at Chicago aud other cities.
MI O'Nein opposed the amendment. he denied
what Cannon had stated that the carriers were the
best paid men in the service. Clerks in post OFFICES
worked about eight hours day while carriers worked
from q a. m. until D. m.
Mr. Banks spoke Of the vast advantage and vast

carriers; ne was 10 favor of voting increase OF

THE FLORIDA CONFESSIONS.
More Amdavits and Very Ab.urd Ones.

More Afdavifs and Very Absurd Ones.
NEW YORK, April 26 "A Jacksonville special
says that an affidavit from an ex-sherif in
regard to frauds in Levy county, is filled with
the most Infamous statements testif ying to
fraud after fraud, and finally says that pro-
position was made to burn the State house at
tallahassee, and that after consultation, in
which Governor Stearns was present. it was
decided not to do so for the reason that the
Democrats probably had certified copies of all
the returns. He says that he was paid $40 to
assault and whip Babcock, q Dem ocrat editor
in Jacksonville, and that he did knock Bah.
cock down. He was put before the Congress
sional committee aud made to tell lively story
of having been maltreated by Kuklux which
be now says was wiifully false. This affidavit
disclosss the way in which the Republicans
handled their roughs, bummers and strikers in
the election and count. He was one of the
most conspicuous of that class, and was sent
out on various errands He confessed what
the Democrats then charged that he, in COM
pany with Hodge, the deputy marshal, was
ordered to seize and destroy the ballot boxes at
Cedar Keys and that they were prevented only
by the armed resistance of the Democratic
custodians.
The same special says that all the documents
and the Ease will now be transferred to that
city.
Attorney General Devens' View Of the
COnfessi0ns.
A Graphic special from Philadelphia says
number of attempts have been made to induce
the President and members of the cabinet here
with him to express some opinion upon the
alleged confession of McLin regarding the
florida returning board, but notwithstanding
most strenuous efforts on the part of reporters
no information could be gained. This morn
ing however Attorney general Devens while in
conversation with gentlemen expressed his
opinion somewhat fully in regard to the matter
He stated 10 substance that he and other men,
bers of the Cabinet placed no credence in the
alleged confessions. Afidavits conld be OBJ
tanned in that part of the country to suit almost
any purpose. 4e regarded the whole thing as
snanating from disappointed politicians and
dlsafected Republicans for the purpose of
fomenting discord in the ranks of the Republ.
can party. Apart from the illegality of at
tempting to reverse the decision of the electoral
commission Gen. Devens thought that to
reopen the question at the present time when
the country was upon the eve of financial pros
perity and resumption of specie payments
would be nothing less than crime and should
be denounced by all prudent men irrespective
of party.

The Brazilian Mail Service.
The Senate Committee on post offices and
roads this afternoon decided to recommend the
passage of bill to aid the establishment of a
semi-monthly mail service between the United

York and New Orleans. The maximum COM
pensa,ion is limited by the bill to $50 per mile
per annum, and the distance to be considered
not greater than $4,000 miles.
A Bankers Views ON Resumption.'
Geo. S. Coe, President of the American Elk.
change Bank of New York, was before the
House committee on banking and currency to-
day several hours. In answer to to q question
by the chairman (Buckner) he stated that at
the time OF the passage of the resumption act
in 1875, it was his own opinion and that of the
banking community generally that the law
contemplated the retirement and cancellation
of all legal notes that should be presented at
the Treasury. There was no such idea as that
the Secretary of the Treasury had authority las
he DOW clains) to go on re-issuing them up to
the limit of $780, 1000 He did not regard
that construction of the law, how as
hiodrance to resumption, because the laws of
trade and commerce would keep in circulation
only the amounts of paper currency that would
be adapted to the wants of the country, and
which he put at $4OO,0OO,0OO. In reply to
question by Phillips whether he would not
not consider it great calamity for the govern
ment to undertake resumption and fail in the
attempt, he said on the contrary it would be
better that an attempt be made even though
it should fail, than that it should lot be made
at ell, because the public mind would be fixed
on specie basis of prices, whereas In the lat
ter case everything would be doubt and uncer.
tainty, and capital would be Withdrawn from

ITALY,.
The Pope,s EncycIicai Meter.

ropes huCyCl1CaI HAester.
LONDON, April 26-The passage in the
Pope's encyclioal issue which was announced
yesterday regarding the civil power of the
church is as follows: The hopes of Italy and
the world rest on the beneficIents influence of
the Holy See and on the intimate union of all
the faithful with the Roman pontiff. 1t there
fore stands to reason that we should with all
diligence do all in our power to preserve
intact the dignity of the Roman cathedra in
order before all things to guard the rights and
libert. OF the Holy See. We shall never cease
to insist that our authority be respected; that
our ministry end our power be left fully free
and independent, and that the position be
restored to us. 1t is no vain desire of dominion
which moves US to demand the re-establish-
ment of our civil power. We demand it be-
cause our duties and our solmn oaths exact it,
and because it is not only necessary to conserve
fully the liberty of the spiritual power, but
also because it is ev ident that when it is a
question OF the temporal dominion of the
Apostolic See it involves the we'll being and
safety of the whole human family.
The Pope distinctly endorses the policy and
acts OF the predecessor, condemns civil
marriages and deplores rejection of the author
ity of the church proclaiming that to be the
cause of all existing evils, but in language of
calmDess and dignity devoid throughout of any
tone of offence or violence.
The encyclical contains no attack whatever
upon the civil government of Italy nor any
mention direct or indirect of the house of Savoy.
