consigning a private individual to neigh
borhood infamy, as it will bring us to
national shame. The courts will treat
US as a people without principal, and in
shame and sorrow we will be compelled
to meet the whole obligation.
The present effort to repudiate the
last third Of the debt by some of the low
tax men is curious in more ways than
one, they are side by side with Mr. Ged.
des, of New York, and my friend Mr.
Byrd Douglas, of Nashville, who say
the people arc able to pay the whole debt,
and who are fighting this proposition be-
cause they mean if possible-and their
hspe lies in having the bondholders all
lnited-to make US pay the whole debt.
If they succeed they will certainly be
indebted to such lOw-tax leader as have
refused to compromise at all. This is
indeed, strange fellowship.
It is strange in another respect. The
open, undisguised and loudly -pI oclaimed
offer of fhe low-tax men to settle at so
md in the extra session, and the refu-
sal of the State credit men to agree to it;
and now the acquiescence of the State
credit men, and the lOw-tax men flying
from their own proposition is a curious
medley of propositions.

SWEEP YOUR OWN DOOR.

DO we heed the homey adagc handed down from
days OF yore,
ERE you sweep your neighbor's dwelling clear the
rubbish from your door p
Let not hlth rust there gather leave no traces
OF decay ;
Pluck up every weed unsghty brush the fallen
leaves away.
II we faithfully have labored thus to sweep without
within,
Pluck up envy, eyilspeakng, malice, each besetlng
sin
Weeds that by the sacred portals OF the inner tenn
pie grow;
Poison weeds the heart deflng, bearing bitterness
end Woe
Then, perchance, we may have leisure DER our
neighbOr watch to Keep;
All the work assigned US tnished,we before his door
may sweep;
Show hlm where the moss is cnnging- token ever Of
decay
Where the thistles, thicky springing daily must be
cleared away.
But alas our work neglected we oft mount the
judgment seat
With his faillngs his omlssionswe our weary broth
er greet
In some hidden nook forgotten, searching with
careful eye,
We the springng weeds dlscOver-some slight blem-
lsh there decry,
For his slothfulness, his blindness, we our brother
harshly chide;
Glory In our strength and wisdom, we condemn him
in our pride.
ASK mot why he has neglected thus before his door
to sweep;
Why grown careless he has slumbered, failed his
garden plot to keep.
on the judgment scat still sitting, We no helping
hand extend,
70 assist our weaker brother his shortcomings to
amend;
For his weariness his falt'ring, we no sweet COM
passion show,
From our store cordial bring him, no encourage
ment bestow,
But while busied with our neighbor, urging him to
ceaseess care
Calling TO the thoughtless ders to their labor to re-
pair
10 unseen,the dust has gathered weeds are grow
ing where OF yore,
Flowers rare and sweet were blooming when we
swept before our door.
All how easy DER our brother faithful ward and
watch to keep;
But, alas before dwelling hard indeed to daily
sweep;
Harder than to share the conflict "by the stun" at
home TO stay,
Easier to sit in judgment than to humbly watch and
pray.

ACCURACY OF ELECTRICAL SCIENCE.

A triumph of electrical science is thus ex-
planned by the Philadelphia Ledger:
In the cable news of Monday it was stated
that the French Atlantic cable twas "broken
one hundred and sixty-one miles from St.
Pierre, Miquelon, in five hundred fathoms
water"
These few words show one of the many
triumphs of modern electrical science
Here is a wire cord buried under three
tifths of mile of water of ocean, and a
hundred and sixty miles from land, and yet
the people on shore can exactly locate the
point at which it is broken
Strange as that seems, it is actually done,
and has been time and again. The repair
ing vessels will go out to the indicated
point throw over their graphing hooks, and
within few hundred yards will find the
broken ends and splice them,
This wonder is accomplished first by exact
knowledge of the laws of electricity, which
make known what amount of current wire
ofa given dimension will carry, and the
resistance it must overcome in going given
distance aud next, by the instruments
made by the mechanicians of our day
which will make the operation of both law,
visible to the experienced observer, Ieven /,
the break in the cable is thousand mile
away and two miles under the sea.

TOO MUCH SCIENCE.

The London Lancet is constantly finding
out something or other to make people ner-
vous. Some time ago it showed that the
consequence of getting ones head sham
pooed' at BARRIERS was an attack of ty-
phod fever. So people gave up being sham
pooed, especially the people with bald heads.
Then it discovered that every house was fill
ed with sewer gas, and that we were all GO
ing to be poisoned, Then there was death
in the milk, and that was banished from the
table. Next the Lancet discovered that a
couple of glasses of wine day were fatal
to the constitution, and it followed this up
by announcing that the water of London
was very dangerous, so that at this moment
it has left nothing whatever to drink. Then
it clearly proved that jam -tsrts were bad for
the health, but most people who had tried
them in sufficient quantities had found that
out before. The reason assigned by the
doctored. Having thus deprived us of the
two chief articles of sustenance, jam. tarts
and milk, the Lancet wishes us to leave of
wearing clean linen. 1t says that the laun-
dresses live in infected places, and that we
run the risk of catching smallpox and scar
let fever from the clothes they bring home.
The same thing is true Of tailors so that
the only really safe course now open to us
is to go without food and without clothes.
In this condition we must not go indoors for
fear of sewer gas. Never was a Christian
people reduced to more miserable plight.
Is it not Just possible that what we want in
the present day is little less science and 8
little more common sense ?-Ehglish Paper

SENATOR VOORHEES, ON THE CONFEDER
ATE BRIGADlERS.
Hypocrisy of the Stalwart Radicals.

Iu'liNs VI th' huhi'o'o'
FROM SPEECH IN THE SENATE, JUNE 18th.
Let us see a little further however, about
this dangerous person called the confeder-
ate brigadier. Who first brought him here?
Who is responsible for the introduction of
the confederate brigadier to the theater of
national politics Southern gentlemen
around me on this floor are here because
they thought the country was restored to its
normal relations that the states were re-
habilitated under the constitution I; that
each state had the right to select its own
representatives in beth branches of congress
and that they were not compelled to ask
leave to come of any set of men from any
part of the country.
Gentlemen, l welcome you. You are
right in being here. You are met however
by party of violent unwelcome, with abuse
and denunciation hurled as a keynote to
party warfare by the great senator from
New York, and followed up by all the sena-
tors on that side of the chamber. Sir, there
is something due to history on this subject.
Is the confederate soldier unfit to take part
in the affairs of this government or is it in
fact only the confederate soldier who votes
the democratic ticket to whom you object
Is it the confederate soldier per Sc, or does
the objection to him only arise when he votes
the democratic ticket If confederate
soldier votes the republican ticket and in
dorses all the rascality that overwhelmed
| the south as a deluge during carpetbagism,
do you not embrace him ? Tell me when
you have ever spewed such one out your
mouths. Tell me where you ever repulsed
| him from your warmest and most affection
ate political embrace. None such have ever
been seen cast out by the republican party.
On the contrary, all such have had seats OF
dignity and robes of honor assigned them.
| 1t is but little while ago since confed-
crate brigadier first took part in the control
of public affairs. He was invited to do 50
by the candidate of the stalwarts for the
next Presidency, General Grant. Grant APP
pointed Brigadier General Amos |. Acker.
man, of Georgia, to a seat in his cabinet A
majority of the republican senators sitting
here to-day on their oaths voted to confirm
him as the first law officer of this govern
ment. They gave it to him to construe the
constitution, to interpret the laws, to render
decisions binding for years and perhaps fol
all time. General Grant put into the hands
of confederate Brigadier General Amos |
Akerman the portfolio of justice, and a re
publican senate confirmed him; and why
not because he was greatly learned in th'
law. Nor did they object when he carried {
sword and killed whom he could, under tn,
confederate flag he voted the republican
ticket and that was enough il washed ava.
all his sins and made him clean and pure il
their eyes, though his sins had been as scar
] let before,

AN ORTHODOX CHINAMAN.

Concerning future rewards and punish
ments Colorado furnishes the following H.
lustration, which occurred recently in a
court in La Veta, where the testimony of a
Chinese was objected to on the ground that
he did not understand or regard the obliga.
tion of an oath. To test him he was in

No Good Preaching.

No man can do a good job ofwork preach
good sermon, try law suit well, doctor

miserable and dull, with sluggish brain and
unsteady nerves, and none should make the
attempt in such condition when it can be

THE B0Y-SHEPHERDS.

A correspondent of the American Agri-
culturist, travelling in the far West, writes
of the herders of Laramie Plains, and of
Mr.. Edward Farrell and his boys,-and a
sight that surprised him in one of the green
Nebraska valleys:
The Farrells gave us most hospitable
reception. We bade them goodbye late in
the afternoon, turned off to the right of
Sheep Mountain, and entering narrow
plain between high ranges of hills, spurred
forward our jaded animals, until the gath
ering shadows warned us that we could pro-
ceed no further with safety.
At daybreak we 'spied large flock of
sheep in coral close by rude cabin or
dugout, in which were two boys, sons of
Mr.. Farrell Here, twelve miles or more
from home, they had been tending a flock
of two thousand three hundred sheep during
the entire season.
They shot their game with an old rifle,
did their own cooking, and lived entirely
alone, with their dogs and two ponies, en-
ployed in herding their sheep. They alter
mated in watching the sheep, which were
driven into the coral every night, as a: pro-
lection against, bears, wolves, and othel
wild animals.
An antelope which one of them.had shot
the day previous was suspended near the
door o the cabin. There was good range
here, and the father had, in the spring time
sent the sheep and boys to possess it.
You will be surprised when l tell you
that these lads, instrusted with the care O
over two thousand sheep, and living here il
this remote, secluded spot, were only elev
en- and thirteen years of age. 1t is astonish
ing, the early self-reliance which these from
tier children display and the skill which, a
mere urchins, they attain in herding sheep

HIDING FROM PAPA.

Papas lost his baby!
searches everywhere,
Under the chairs and tables,
With the greatest care
Pulls aside the curtain,
Peeps behind the door!
Neversecs the little heap
Curled up on the floor;
Never hears the whisper,
Mamma, don't you tell !"
Nor the little laughter,
Munled, like IA bell
on he scampers wildly,
Hunting here and there,
Oycrturning everything,
with the greatest care,
Canary has a visit,
sitting on his perch,
Mammals apron pocket
suffers by the search.
"Now | am so tired
Elephant at play
That must take a rest
minute by the way,
I'll lay my weary head
ON this little rug
Under mammals towel
Lay her darling, snug
Then the merry scrambling
Papa laughed to see
"And you didn't fink, now,
That 1t could be met"

bar at the entrance Of Sabine bay, as
cend the bay to the town.of Sabine Pass,

accomplished fact that at average high

Furthermore, another appropriation has
