l'A HsI'HlLS.

We have. upon more occasions than on
expressed our opinion us to the formation
and existence Of political parties in our
government, both before and after the war,
from the simple fact that the pcrpctuation
Of liberty, as we enjoy it, depends upon
them. In dcspotic countries, where the
= will Of the ruler is the law of action whcth-
er it be right or wrong, Of course parties
cannot exist except for the purp oscs Of revo
luton; because discussions are not permitted
either through tho public press or upon tho
stump, without some kind Of governmental
surveillance Obviously for the same reason
combinations Of citizens, based upon the
control of public affairs, would he consider
cd reasonable and dealt will, accordingly
Indeed, dcspotism, another name for slave
ry, is implicit obedience To the will Of one
man; liberty is the control Of principles cs-
lablisl,cd by free expression Of opinion
untrammc!cd by government dictation.
Free institutional governments, therefore
can only exist where the people take II direct
l.artin the control Of public affairs lhro ugh
the freedom Of the press or freedom
Of speech. These are essential
safe guards Of liberty in cvcry rec GOV :
crnmcnt, and parties generally originate
during times Of public discussion, and are
founded upon fundamental principles or
lurition Of policy in the administration of
the government. Such honest difference of
opinion may and does exist without any i'm
putation Of impure motives on the part of
those who entertain them. Ii was the c;,Sc
in both the General and State governments
before tho war, upon questions Of plinc-
pie which divided the citizens of the one,
and questions Of State policy which divided
those Of the other Exciting contests often
took pl; &c upon such questions, which +.
suited i'll the formation of new political
parties and men, honest in their opinions
supported both sides
Since the war, however, parties rest upon
no such honorable foundation. In the Gen
cr;il Government the contest has been for
power on the part Of the Republican party
at the expense Of the Constitution and the
liberty OF those WHO opposed it. In the
state government ignorance has been ar
raycd against intelligence, dishonesty
against honesty, panperi~ln against proper
ty and selfish loi.cJ ",flin.t patriotic prin-
c:iIc. Ea'ic;,Iism has been the champion
OF thc one, Democracy OF The other. In

little thought that [ should never see
Congressman ]. f. Leonard again. tie
died last night at the Hotel Telegrato, of
broken heart, the victim of the old, old
story unrequited love.
His romance was this: Some years
age 10 formed the acquaintance of
young Cuban lady of wealthy family, and
courted her on the promise that he would
yet present her with career worthy of
her hand. His promotion was rapid. Ia
a short lime he rose from post to post, to
Judge and Congressman. Seeing his fu-
ttlre so insured, he came to Havana to lay
his honors at the lady's feet and to offer
her his heart and hand. While still on
board the steamship Columbus, in this
port, he received letter from her, which
had been awaiting his arrival for deliV-
efv, and in which she advised him not to
baud, as she was not disposed to listen to
his overtures. &
Of course it was impossible for Mr..
Leonard to remain on shipboard in the
hot harbor He landed, but only to find
he was cruelty Tilted, and. that he had
been in the pursuit so long of heart sof
stone. His excitement drove him to his
he'd. lie fell into morbid condition,
which he vainly endeavored 10 conquer
lie struggled bravely, but such was his
bitter grief, such the blow his love and
iaanlv dignity had received, that he speed
i3y sank into a state which left him the
easy prey of the first OF those many fell
diseases of these lattudes, which are ever
lowering round, vulture-hke, to seize on
declining human powers. His fate came
in the form of the demon yellow fever.
His condition spread about among the
Iady's friends, and they were convinced
shat lis life rested in her hands. They
condemned her conduct, anG, ii is said,
demonstrated With her for it. On the
NIGHT before he died, the at length con-
scienee-strickea woman sent a messenger
10 his bedside to state that they could
meet this spring in New Orleans, and
matters might be satisfactorily arranged.
A sad smile passed over his face, and IN
the midst of it might be seen CLEAN OF
new life, of triumph, perhaps something
/ of resentment. Il do not want that wom-
an" he said bitterly Il was his last
aFort. He was within reach of his cher
shed prize, with power-pcrhaps the
latent hope 10 seize il. Alas poor hu-
man nature the crisis and the complica
tons we're too great. He sank after the
monsemtary rally; the delirium resumed
its saay, and he died at one O'Clock on

ssYOu Have, You HaYev'

A Young man, a post office clerk, de-
tected in stealing letters, was arrested and
brought before the United States Com
missioner. While waiting the examina-
tion, his father, more than seventy years
of age, came in, and was led to the chair
in which the prisoner was seated. Rest
ing his trembling hands on the shoulders
of his son, he cried, in a broken voice:

How Long Will The Forests Last.

Under such heavy yearly drain, the
question naturally comes up, how long
will our forests hold out at the present
rate of manufactured 1t is really an i'm
pertant question, upon which follows
the inquiry as to what we are to do for
building material when this magnificent
wood-pine-is exhausted. One author
ity after another has entered formally
upon its solution, with Satisfactory results
In local instances, but very vague ones
as to the field at large. AT the rate we
ale cutting it to day, from thirty to fifty
years seem to be agreed upon as the
limi'. Twenty years ago there was ap-
parenly no limit, for the consumption
was not only less, but the means for Its
manufacture were primitive, and accom-
plished much smaller results than now.
It seems as if 1t were impossible to
further improve the machinery of saw
mills, but the near future may, for all
that, see saving machinery, in compari-
son to which that of the present Will be
contemplate So, although twenty years
ago there was no seeing the end of the
timber, now, with the modern mills and
inyriads of them, we are beginning to cal
culate with dire certainty as to The time
when the " wooden age " will be thing
of the past.-scribiler.

Cats

A century or two ago the destiny Of
cats especially of black ones, or of such as
belonged to poor lonely old woman who
could possibly be suspected of witchcrait
was wretched and perilous indeed. No
notion of mercy toward them seems to
have occurred to any body, even to men
exercising judicial functions. We read
that woman was burned alive in France
for numbering some babies, aud the mode
of execution was that she was put in q
cage with fourteen cats over a fire, so
that the animals in their agony should
tear her while burning. Another story
equally horrible appears without word
of comment or reprobation, in a familiar
letter of just two hundred years ago, IN
the Hatton correspondence. The writer
describes pageant of the period, perform
ed IN London in commemoration OF the
coronation OF Queen Elizabeth. There
were," he says, "lnighty bonfires, and
the burning OF most costly Pope, carried
Bv four persons, and the effigies of two
divells.' +" The interior of tae Pope"
was filled with live cats, : who squawled
most hideously as soon as they felt the
fire. the people making the joke that it
was tie language of the Pope and the
devils! Such were the amusements. OF
that age to which great living man of
science looks back with signs of regret,
because people were not so ''soft Eurtur-
ed" then as we are now; and Queen VIC
toria only sends for artists to pan her
animals-unlike her predecessor, ames
l., who sent for PSYCHOLOGISTS to cut them
up.- The Spectator.

Fataiisnl.

Mr. Henry Labouchere writes as fol-
lows: The first time / went to Malta /
had an opportunity of observing the
effects of fatalism. j was in Alexandria,
and | saw the mail steamer leave whilst
! was rowing towards it. SO | asked cap
tain in a steamer c ose by that appeared
about to start, whether he would give me
a passage to Malta, if he was going there
q Certainly he replied, " if you don't
mind my cabins being filled with mer-
chandise, and my decks being covered
with pilgrims on their way back TO Tunis
from Mecca" Tue second day that we
were at see a number of thts pilgrims died
of fever, and were incontinently thrown
overheard. Many more then slammed
death, in order to share the fate of their
friends. They, too, went overheard with
a smile of bestitude on their countenances.
I demonstrated with the captain, being
then young and tender hearted. He re-
piled that 1t was an affair between their
shiek and them, and that he had nothing
TO do With the matter beyond a general
wish that, on cur arrival at Malta, we
should not be put into quarantine. then
had 1t out with the sbieK, who could
speak little French. He explained to
me that any one dying during pilgrim
age went direct to Paradise, and that II
was frindly act TO throw over pilgrims
with the fever without looking too close
ly whether they were dead, more par
ticularly when they themselves encourage
ed the pious fraud.
