Governments last About 500 Years.

Following is an interesting extract
 from a late Thanksgiving" sermon
 by Rev. David Swing of Chicago:
 As nations do not rise in a day, so
 Tn day they cannot be overthrown.
 There are some singular records in
 history. IL seems that a great nation cannot turn on it's axis more than once in 400 or 500 years. Some of the old States lie outside the bounds oi history,
 but those inside these bounds show great uniformity in marking the time of radical changes of dInasly. Egypt was under shepherd Kings about 300 years. Her golden age when she so hourished in art spread over 300 years. The Hebrew Republic ran from Moses to King David, 800 years; and then came the Empire to enler upon 500 or 600 years of similar success. The glory of Greek liberty covered about 500 years. Rome enjoyed all the splendor  of Republic for the same strange pe- riod,-4S2 years. Thus between, Gin cinatus, the Farmer President, and the overthrow of the Republic by Caesar and Anthony, there intervene the mag lcal five centuries. Spain, and France, and Germany, iolmed out of new cen tres which followed the breaking up of the Western Empire, are now living well and happy in the four-hundredth year of thelr separate lives These statements are sufficiently truthful al least to assure Us that those great stars which we call nations can neitherl be placed in the sky in day, nor in a day be plotted from the galaxy. Behold through what turmoils France has come. The AtheIst and Commu-i nists assailed her Napoleon drained her of men and money by wars nf am bition, other revolutions came, then came the usurpatiOn of Napoleon, then the German war with defeat and fine ] Of a thousand million of dollars, and yet to-day France comes out of thee commotions wise and powerful Re public

The Marquis or LorHe.

We have been hearing for long
 time that in the presence of hIs wife
 the Marquis of LOrne wasn't much of any body; that Is he had to play second fiddle whenever she came around
 But the New York World dishes our
 friend Lorne up in way that makes
 us think maybe the boot is on the other leg This is put forth in a
 way which shows that LOrne hasn't anything Co be ashamed of His blood
 is just as good as the Queens. He and
 hls father, and hIs grandfather, and his great grandfather, are as good as anything ever born under the roof of Hanover And-well here Is what the World says: The Marquis of LOrne Campbell, the Right Hon. Sir John George Edward Henry Douglas Suther- land, styled by courtesy Marquis of LOrne; Privy Counsellor; Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order Of St. Michael and St. Gerge; Gov ernOr-General of the Dominion of Ga nada.

Canada, succeeding lhe Earl Of Duf-I ferin.
 Now we would like tO know if the simple title " Fourth Daughter of the Queen is going to get away with ali this record. We should say not. II. ever the Marquis comes our way we shall say Why. Mir.

BY ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTOR. Rise! for the day is passing;
 While you lie dreaming on, The others have buekled their armor And forth to the fight are gone; 4 place in the ranks awaits you.
 Each man has some part to play; The past and the future are nothing In the face of the stern to-day. Rise from your dreams Of the future, Of gaining some hard-fought field, or siorming some airy fortress
 Or bidding some giant yield; Your future has deeds Of glory,
 or honor God graAt 1t mayD But your arm will never be stronger Or the need so great as to-day. Rise! 1T the past detains you,
 Her sunshine and storms forget; No chains so unworthy to hold you As those Of a vain regret: Sad or bright, she k iifeless ever. Cast her panthom arms away. Nor look back, have to learn the lessor Of a noble strife to-day. Rlsel for the day Is passing!
 The low sound that you scarcely hea Is the enemy marching to battle Arise! for Ihe foe is here. Stay not 10 sharpen your weapons, Or the hour will strike you at last, When from dreams Of a coming battle You may wake 10 find IL past.

THE Texas Pacific R. R. delegation
 is now in Washington in full force
 ready for another grand struggle on
 the T. P. bill, at the same time the
 Southern Pacific Company are lay, ing track in Arizona at the rate of a
 mile a day The road that terminates
 in Texas will make a heavy demand
 upon the L. S. Treasury. The road that Is now pushing through Arizona will simply ask for right of way thrOugl. the pubic lands. The contrast be tween these two propositions, as we'll aS the weak and passive condition of the one road and the strength and activity of the other cannot fail to have their effect upon Congress, and it is not difficult to furesee which company will succeed and which will fail. No doubt large majority of the people would be glad to have an energetic competing route to the Pacific, but il is evident that Con gress will not grant subsidy to one company when another is extending their road with all possible rapidity and without any government aid. The Southern Pacific Company are setting a good example, and no doubt before another year has passed their oppOn- ents will have learned that the best way to build a railroad is-tO build it..

Hore About the Indians.
J C. STUBBS, Gen'l Freight Agent

WASHINGTON, December 2.-A com
 munication from Gen. W. T. Sherman,
 addressed the Chairman Saunders of
 the Joint Commission having under consideration the question of transfer
 ing the Indian Bureau to the War De
 partment, was today laid before the
 Commission. The General, after stat
 ing his readiness 10 respond promptly
 to any summons of the Commission, says: II am sure, from official and
 personal intercourse, that Secre; ary Schurz and Commissioner of Indian
 Affairs Hoyt have been extremely anxious to and have labored hard for an honest administration of the affairs of the Indian Bureau as organized by
 law. l personally know that NIT. Hoyi
 went as far as he could properly go to prevent the removal of Red Clouds and Spotted Tails bands of Indians from the Missouri river 10 their present location, which must certainly result in another war. Their removal result ed principally from the PreSident'sI nromise. based upon the advice of Gen. Crook. I further believe that, both MT. Schurz and MT. Hoyt have done all that men could do to removel weak and dishonest agents, and to re- place them by honest agents. l wish you and. if proper. the public 10 con strne the present conflict or antagonism to he not a personal nor a question of honesty, but natural and necessary conflict of antagonIstic systems.

The Use Of tie Millions.

I While the body of Millionaire Van
 derbllt lay awaiting sepulture, thieve.
 stole from the bellpull the long stream
 CT of bOmbazlne which told of the
 presence of corpse in the house. After the remains were laid away in
 the family vault on Staten Island. Ihe
 heirs engaged in one of the most bitter
 and disgracefu! contests ever brought
 into court The old mans millions
 carry no comfort with them 10 any of
 their present possess0TS. Hardly wa | Millionaire Stewart dead before legions
 Of false heirs arose in his name, and | like buzzafds over dead cattle, sought
 10 feast upon the spoils. The six-hun- dred-thoUsaadd dollar mausoleum is
 ready for the reception of his body,
 but nobody knows if The body will
 ever be found, to be put in place. ' Hic jacct will hardly do for an inscrip- tlon, and something else will have to
 be devised. Millionaire Whitaker was gathered to his fathers, and soon the thieves and forgers began to conspire to steal what he had lief. behind him. An old millionaire, who some years ago died In this city, spent the last years of his life in mourning over the way in which some people r. bbed him, and he feared that others would. To his last hour he was miserable.
 The heaping up of vast amounts of riches does not seem 10 have been attended, as a general thing, with solid good, either to those who heaped them or to their heirs. A great part of this failure of wealth to accomplish It's legitimate purpose is from the fac. thal its owners did not sutiicIently send il. on benefcieDt erFands during their life time HOarded wealth, or wealth amassed in a sOrdid way and for selfish purposes, seldom accomplishes what it might if kept busily spinning along and doing good on it's way
 There is probably no locality in ihei world where people are as sensible and as practical in the gathering and the distribution of wealth as in Philadel-I phia and the towns and country sur . rounding it. People seem to under. stand how to live and what is worth . living for better than almost anywhere else. There is less of the grasping and | grabbing element of money getting than in almost any other community. Our people do not make haste to be rich in day and then lose il in $ night. If they are not quite as rapid people aS those of some of the hurry- and-drive communities where fortune, are lost as rapidly as they are made. they enjoy what they earn, and make Us a general thing a wise and whole some disposition of it.
 Almost everybody is striving, in some way or other, 10 be rich If We strive senSIbly, generously, diligently he strife IS noble. If we hoard wealth Or it's own sake only, we are owned by t instead of owning it, and pile up an inheritance of bother and worry, in- i 'tead of anything that is worth living Or.-PhlladelphIu Times.

 connections with other nations. Herr
 are few very interesting remark,
 made by President Hayes in his lat,
 annual message to Congress; the frs
 being called out because of the failur, of Congress to appropriate money enough to effectually apply presen
 laws, and the second in consequence, of the nearly universal extension o postal facilities:
 The following questions are present ed: Should Congress finally appro priate sum for ils expense largely in excess of its revenues, or should such rates of postage be established as will make the Department selfsustaining Should the Postal Service be reduced by excluding from he mails all mat ter winch does not pay its way Should other methods be adopted which will increase the revenues or diminish the expenses of the Postal SeryIceg
