Instead Of being a vehicle for agreeable

will usually be found, are ,dyspeptic, lack

more vigor. There is a means of obtaining
it, if they will but avail themselves Of that
means. 1t Is Hostetter's Bitters, a tonic
which experience has shown to be Of the

A Musical Prodigy.

Observing quite crowd around a
negro boy in the car shed, a COnStitu-
tion reporter approached and inquired
the cause Of the excitement. He dis
covered that the boy was a musical
prodigy on a very unique scale. BY
placing his right ear and partially open
ing his mouth, this boy gave the exact
imitation of the musical bag-pipes,
playing many airs with perfect accu-
Tacy.
The music seemed to come from the
inside of the boys head, and many
people were attracted to the spot, think
ing that the bagpipos were giving forth
their rich, wild melody. The boy was
very accommodating, and played many
airs, gliding with ease froln the gay to
the grave. For instance, he played
"Dixio' with great spirit aud rapidity,
and then in the slowest and mournful
cadences gave "Streams Of Mercy
Never Ceasing." ..- ~. ."@"
His name is Alonzo Barnes, and he
halls from Eastman. He is only eigh-
teen years OF age, and says that he
found out by accident, about three
years ago, that his head was full of
bagpipes, and has been practicing upon
them ever since. He said that he could
play any tlnc tildt WAS "iiistiet, where
upon some one in the crowd suggested
that he give something from "Pina-
FORE" IT.. .1.- u .."..
He had never heard of the piece, he
said, but called upon man after man,
but not one seemed equal to the task.
All admitted that they had once heard
it, but so long ago chat it was difficult
to recall. The boy holds nothing what
ever in his mouth, simply places bis
right hand over his right ear and with
ont the slightest effort starts his bag
pipes.

He is a w!so politician who, without blink
ing, looks the truth in the face whatever
the truth may bee. However di7ta7teful IL
may be to many, the fact nevertheless Is
that JoHS SILHNAS has lcon making very
rapid progress of late as candidate FOR tho

The change in tho Custom House in this

that lay in his power. The effective work
was done 10y the Secretary Of the Treasury.
To him the responsibility Of the result at

vantage enurcs to his benefit.

ever, Of good GoJl of direct Importance.
1t sets to work for him a powerful machine
which had been working against him here
tofure. Lee influence Of this machine is
widespread. 1t is not only potent in this
State but extends, through various ramiii-
cations, to different parts Of the country,
But this is not all The victory in such n

Then it makes a jump TO the title Pro-

Ignoring the title Brevcts and Certificates

alights on section 100. "Staff Details and

leaving the other four untouched. With n
long vault Of 1856 sections, It clears the sub
jccts Of Command, General STAFF, Orders and
Correspondence, Records, Inspection and Re
cruting Service, Regiments and Companies,
Military Posts. and instruction OF Troops,
and lands on Military instruction at Col
lcgcs." sections 2G1 to 26j inclusive, OF which
1t picks out the first and second, leaving tho
rest
Such Is the tumble Of legislation which
the House has substituted for half dozen
clear and strong provisions accomplishing
army rctrcnchment at once. Preposterous
as was the original BURNSIDE bill, 1t at least
contained comprehensive and tolcrably
consistent plan; but hacking about forty
sections out OF II, at different places, and
gluing them together. produces the most
motley arrangement over substituted for
real economy. Real economy is always
simple in its legislative provisions, for 1t
pruncs away what is supernuous in the
shortest terms.
Unqucstionably there are few good points
scattered among this confused mass-pro-
visions meant for rctrcnchmont and also for
administrative reform. No doubt. also. some
Of the other amendments appended to Mr..
WHITES long list are thoroughly COM
mcndablc- such, for example, as the one re-
pcning, by a few words the disgracetul pro-
vision in section 1902 of the Revised Statutes,
now allowing troops ito keep the peace at
the polls" But to fost upon the country,
in lieu of genuine reduction, the exposed
trickcry OF the BURNSIDE BILL with its
shiftings OF officers from one place only
TO put them in another, and its
elaborate diminutions on the active list bal
anced by the creation OF reserved list. is
not fit response to the demands Of the
people. All the Objectionable features Of the
BURNSIDE bill, placing unprecedented pow
ers in the hands OF Mr. r. b. HAYES, in the
filing up Of regiments and companies at his
| discretion, are retained In this House patch
work.
The substitution Of this bulky and incon-
| gruous makcshift for the simplicity Of genu-
Inc reduction is miserable piece Of bust
ness

military employments But a noteworthy
precaution has been taken in the last-named
article by which no official act OF the Pres-
dent Is valid unless countcrsigned by one Of
the Ministers. This clause is the natural
and Indispensable counterpoise to the ire
sponsibility guaranteed by article six to the
Presidential Office. It's practical operation
when Ministers refuse TO second the Presl-
dent in his resistance to the will OF the
Legislature, as in the recent crisis, Is TO
utterly paralyze the Executive author
ity. Thus IMAGINATION found himself re-
duced to an absolute nullity in the
state, and since tho present majority Of
the Senate would not sanction n second dis
solution OF the lower House. nothing was
left to him but resignation. II is true that
he might apparently have prorogued both
Houses for n short period and governed dur
ing the interim bya reactonary Cabinet; but
in view of the political composition Of those
bodies, and OF the present temper OF the ma
ton, il is plain that such a step could only
be construed as the transparent cloak OF
intended revolution. Yet 1t seems regret
able that guarantees should not have been
established by the organic law against
possible recourse to that expedient. Had
IMAGINATION been induced by the reactionists
TO risk such course under the existing cir
cumstanccs, there is little doubt that the
Republicans would have felt themselves con-
strained to treat the proceeding as an act of
constructive treason.
As we have heretofore pointed out, the
Presidential term, under the French Consti-
tuition, is seven years neither more nor less !;
but on the other hand reelection Is permit
ted. Neither article two nor article seven
which alone touch the point. makes any ref
ercnce whatever to an nd interim election
for the remnant Of a term. The political
situation in France is therefore what il
would bc had NJ. GREvy taken Office upon
the completion of MACMAHoN's scptcnnatc.
There seems to be- some doubt, however,
whether the law Of Nov. %. 1873, which tenn
porarily forbade any revision of the Consti-
tuition, must bc held valid up to the eXpira-
tion Of seven years, or may be deemed to
have lapscd with MACMAHoN's withdrawal
from Office. OF course the decision of this
| question will determine the possibility Of
immediate change in article nine of the or
ganic law. by which the scat Of executive
power and of the Legislative Chambers was
fixed at Versailles.
