moral feature and come forward in manly

his Lottery because OF its interference in poll

1t opposed certain political and commercial in

AN EXPLANATION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
January 18, 1879,


January 18, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
From short article In the DEMOCRAT OF TO-
day the inference might be drawn that we, the
undersigned. members OF the House. voted for
the Lottery. We simply voted to postpone until
Monday. knowing that the bill would take up q
great deal Of time. In order that House bill No,
a. granting loan Of State bonds to the New
Orleans Pacific. Railroad, might precede the
Lottery bill. and feeling that that bill was more
important to the State OF Louisiana than the
Lottery bill or any other bill which could be
brought before the House.
Please make this correction and place US right
on the record. &. M. POTTS,

Human Nature as Faraday Saw It

A young lady, who, with her hus-
band, visited the Royal Institution at
the time when Faraday, according to
Prof. Tyndall, ranked as the greatest
experimental philosopher of the age, was
courteously shown over the establish
ment by the Professor, and surprised at
the vivacity and cheeriness of a man
who constantly breathed so scientific an
atmosphere, said to him, "Mr Faraday,
you must he very happy in your posi-
ton and with your pursuits, which ele-
vate you entirely out of the meaner as
poets and lower aims of life" He shook
his head, and with that wonderful mo-
bility of countenance which was charac-
teristic, his expression Of joyousness
changed into one of profound sadness
and he replied, "When Quilted business
and took to science as a career thought
l had left behind me all the petty mean
ness and small jealousies which binder
man in his moral progress but | found
myself raised into another sphere, only
to find poor human nature the same
everywhere-subject to the same weak
nesses and the same self-seeking, how
ever exalted the intellect Yet Fara-
day himself was living exception to
this almost universal rule. "He," said
one who knew him well, could not be
too closely approached. There were no
shabby places or ugly corners in his
mind" When he was attacked i'll a
way to effect his reputation for veracity
or honesty, or his standing morally, he
defended himself, but on no other occa-
sions would be allow himself to be drawn
into scientific polemics," which he al
ways viewed with regret The real
truth never fails ultimately to appear
and opposing parties, If wrong, are
sooner convicted when replied to forbear-
ingly than when overwhelmed" he de-
clsred.

American Locks.

Col. Wrottesly, of the British army,
was recently surprised to find that all
the locks on building which was fin
ished short time since for the War
Office are Of American manufacture.
He sought information from the con-
tractor as to the reason of this, and re-
ceived an answer which may be summar-
lied as follows Most of the makers en-
gagged in the British lock trade are pos
sessed of little capital, they get all their
work doae by hand, their men are so
stupid and conservative as to bungle
new patterns, and even threaten strike
when innovations are proposed, and ma
chinery is not at all made use of. Now,
he found the Americans using machinery
in every way possible, the lock manufac-
turers of the United States are great
capitalists, their men are very intelli-
gent and eager for Improvement, quite
sober, and actually work longer hours
than the English engaged in the same
trade. When capital and machinery run
by educated artisans, are put against
small makers employing stupid and
drunken workmen, ever ready to strike,
it is little wonder that the last are de-
feated. Wherever the Americans enter
into competition with the English, they
are enabled to do so by the same causas
that give them superiority in the lock
trade, and it is folly to assert that h pro-
tective tariff gives them the advantages
which they gain by ingenuity, hard work
and steady conduct. Toronto Globe.
