This Great Country Of Ours.

Few people are aware that the
proud boast of Englishmen that the
sun never sets on the British EN-
pire, is equally applicable to the
United States. Instead of being
the western limit of the Union, San
Fracisco Is only about midway be-
tween the furthest Aleutian isle, &C
quired by our purchase of Alaska,
and Eastport, Me. Our territory
extends through 1877 degrees of lon
gitude, or seventeen degrees more
than half way around the globe.
The Rocky Mountain Presbyterian,
in commenting on this fact, says:
'When the sun is giving its good
night kiss to our westernmost isle,
on the confines of Behring's sea, it
is already flooding the fields and
forests of Maine with its morning
light, and in the eastern part of
that State is more than an hour
high. At the very moment when
the Aleutian fisherman, warned by
the approaching shades of night, is
pulling his canoe toward the shore,
the woodchopper of Maine is begin
ming to make the forest echo with
the stirring music of his axe"

Sunset in the City.

Two strangers from the country,
who had apparently come into the
city for the purpose Of witnessing
the firemen's dSplay, were going
np Whitehall stfeet Monday even
ing. Both were tall and angular,
and both appeared 10 be carrying a
schooner too much beer They
paused IN front OF a policeman.
"Mister," said the older Of the
two, ais you seed anything Of a cart
gwine along here--a cart with a lit
tie gray mule a pullin' Of itT'
The officer was about % disclaim
any knowledge OF such a vehicle,
when the evening gun at the bar
racks went of with a long bang.
"What'n the -dignation's thatY'
asked one, while both looked all
around TO see II anything had been
torn up.
"sunset," said the officer laconi-
cally.
sunset they calculated.
"Yes."
"Well, dad blame mew exclaimed
one, Hef she was 10 60 of that way

The other made no reply, but d.

What Hair Indicates.

Eye, mouth, chin and nose all
contribute to indicate the character
of the owners, and now somebody
finds that the hair has a similar
use. Straight, lanky, stringy look
ing hair indicates weakness and
cowardice. Curly hair denotes a
quick temper. Frizzly hair set on
ones head as if each individual
hair were ready to fight its neigh
Dor, denotes coarseness. Black hair
denotes courage, especially when
one is scorned, with wonderful
degree of pertinacity and disposi-
ton to hang on until whatever is
undertaken be accomplished; also a
strong prediction to revenge wrongs
and insults real or fancied. Brown
hair denotes a fondness for life, a
friendly disposition, ambition, earn
estness of purpose, capacity for
business, and reliability of friend
ship, in proportion as the hair is
fine. Very fine hair indicates an
even disposition, a readiness to for
give, with n desire to add to the
happiness OF others. Persons with
fine light brown hair or auburn
hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
quick tempered, and are given to
resentment and revenge. Light
brown hair inclined to redness, with
a freckled skin, is a certain indica-
ton of deceit, treachery, and a dis
position to do something mean by
a friend when that friend can no
longer be used to advantage. BY
remembering these items quite an
amusing parlor game of fortune
telling may be instituted.

est to secure the settlement. They
can afford to wait. '1lfnol-.
Can the people fail to see this
danger? And is it not apparent
that the papers and the men who
are fighting the 50-sl compromise
are Willingly or nnwittihgly work
ing as the tools OF the bond Shy
locks who are to-day lighting this
settlement and demanding the "full
pound OF flesh" lRst
4 We have not stated the matter
too strongly, nor arc our .conolu-
sions unjust. The republican and
National papers fighting the 5O-4
settlement, are either the tools of
the bond Shyloeks who hope in the
future to get the full pound Of flesh,
or they are hoping for purely party
advantage by keeping the question
open. They must take one or the
other horn of the dilemma. IL they
take the former they array them
selves against the people. and az
they take the latter they write them
selves reckless partizans who are
willing to sacrifice the honor and
the interest of the people Of Ten
nessee for the chance of party gain.
And in any event the people must
see that it is the 50-4 proposition
now, or the whole debt in some
shape at some future day.

~ - sn-4 or All.

jackson Tribune and Sun: The
present proposition reduces the
debt one-half. 1t cuts down the
legal interest one-third. The rail
roads who have good grounds for
fighting the taxing laws, have
agreed to waive their rights and TO
pay 100000 per annum of taxes,
provided the people accept the BOD
proposition, settle this incubus Of
debt, and thus open up the avenues
of progress and development to the
whole State. They will be benefit
ted by this opening up of develop
ment to the State, and hence their
liberal proposition. But let the peo-
pie reject the 50-4 roposition, land
the whole t,0enty SiS million dollars Of
debt, qOitk rs annually increasing inter
est account, nOlO nearly t10o Datttion dol
lars per annum, will remain hanging
over the people of the State; the
railroads will fight the taxing law
and put the STATE to thousands of
dollars expense which the people
must pay in increased taxes; and If
the railroads win, as many of the
best lawyers think they will, $780,
900 of revenue will be cut of, the
debt will remain and the means of
paying it seriously impaired.
Then we ask is it love of the peo-
pie that actuates these opposition
Journals? Is it regard for the bond
holders that is moving these papers
to fight the 50-4 compromise? Let
us see. The holders Of Tennessee
bonds are widely scattered. They
are in every state and territory and
all over Europe. 1t has been inn
possible to confer with them all di-
rectly, but as far as it has been pos
sible 70 obtain their views, ma
jority OF those consulted are willing
to accept the 504 compromise. But
there are bondholders fighting
against the proposition. And whyr
Because they know that the defeat
of the present proposition will cause
a lethargy 30 fall upon the people
Of Tennessee. For a time there
will be no action whatever. No
man OF respectaDlllly, no paper
that deserves the name will dare
raise the banner Of reputation.
There will be a perfect surcease Of
agitation. No party will disturb
tie question. All parties will be
afraid of il. 1t will rest in com
plete stiffness. In the meantime the
people will work out of their finan
cial en- mbarrassments. Hard times
cannot last always. Better days
will come. The bondholders fight
ing the 504 compromise can afford
TO wait for the better days. When
those days come, when passion and
party interests are at rest on the
question, the bondhoiders, with a
debt that has grown to thirty OF
forty millions OF dollars, can come
before a Legislature elected amid
better days and say, give us the
principal and interest Of our debt
as it stood in 1879, and we will
knock off subsequent accrued inter-
est. They can afford to spend a
million or two Of the accrued inter

THE BABY FOR NE.

Harper's Bazaar.
l have heard about babies angelic
With heavenly look in their eyes,
And hair like the sunbeams of morning
When first they appear in the skies,
And smiles like the smiles of cherub,
And III outh like the buds of rose,
And themselves like the lilies and daisies
And eyery sweet flower that grows.
My baby's the iolliest baby
That any one ever did see;
There is nothing angelic about him,
But he's just the right baby for mel
His smiles not at all like chernb's
But rather a comical grin;
And his hair-well, it favors the sunbeams
When sunbeams are wonderously thin.
His eyes, though they're blue, like the heavens,
Are remarkably earthly with fun;
And his mouths rather large for rosebud,
Unless 'twere a half-opened one.
His hands don't resemble fairy's
In the least. They're strong little pair,
As you'd think, am sure, if he'd got you
As oft be gets me- by the hair!
And he isn't bit like lily,
Or any sweet blossom that grows,
For no flower on earth, l am certain,
Has dear little cunning pug nose.
He's himself-full of mischief, the darling,
And naughty as naughty can be;
And Pm glad that he isn't angelic,
For he's just the right baby for me.

Rothschild, whose death is an
bounced, was the most conspicuous
member of the family since the
death of Nathan Meyer, his father
and founder of the London branch.
Within the past few years the older
members of the family have passed
away, and young blood is now large
ly represented in the councils of
the Rothschilds. But, although
none of them may have the great
genius for money-making which
characterized Meyer Anselm, the
founder of the family, or Nathan
Meyer, or that central figure whose
death is now mourned, it is really of
little moment so far as the perpetu-
ity of the house Is concerned. It
now exists as a financial colossus.
1t is almost beyond the influence of
competition. and so long as reasona-
bic conservatism is shown in the
management it will probably remain
as the foremost monetary establish
ment OF the world.

He Knew Human Nature.

A man was denouncing newspa-

ROCK NE TO SLEEP. /"

Several years ago man named Ball put in
his claim as author Of" Rock Ne 70 Sleep"
Mark Twain was a journalist then, and he ex-
pressed the following opinion. which has been
unearthed from q scrap book by correspon-
dent of the Buffalo Express:
Backward, speed backward, o, Ball ir your

Oh, Bally, come back from the echoing shore!

W. c. whitthorne on the::Exodus.

Education and Labor, touching the
propriety of the proposed investi
CATION INTO the cause of the recent
colored exodus from the Southern
States. After a general review of
the relations which existed between
shareholders and slaves, Mr.. Whit
thorne says:
"Possibly in the whole history of
the human family there was never
such a spectacle presented of good
ly feeling at the close of a long,
bitter and bloody struggle, involv-
ing the fortunes; rights and lives of
twelve millions of people, as was
exhibited, and which admittedly
existed, between the white and

A Broken Heart.

Denver News: Miss Prince was
the only daughter of PIttsburg
merchant, and two years ago was
welded to Mr.. Savage, of Balti-
more. Six hours after the cere-
mony the train upon which they had
started on their bridal tour was
wrecked and the husband of less
than II day was killed. The shock
of the terrible calamity robbed the
young wife for time of her reason.
From this mental death she recov-
cred to 60 into slow decline. All
the blossoms of her life were with
ering, and the world, once so robed
in beauty and delight, became a
prison from which her spirit longed
to be free. They took her across
the sea, but the panorama of scene
and incident had no power to renew
the love of life, and the young thing
faded as a flower fades. At last
they took her to the South OF
France, and there, amid the bloom
of fowers-on the spot where Pc
trach once sang songs to Elvira-in
the home of Leonardo da Vinci's
exile-this fair American girl found
the peaceful quiet of the grave
Our correspondent who reloees the
incident draws vivid picture OF
the sorrowing family around the
death bed. The father overwhelmed
with grief, the mother wild with de-
spair, while a young sister clasplng
a hand of the dying girl looks with
pallid face and rigid lips into the
glazing eyes.
"The anguish is nearly over-my
race of life is done," came in a fee
BILE intonation from the lips of the
dying.
"And you are willing to die?"
asked a minister, bending over to
catch the whispered utterance.
"Oh, so glad Listen to me. 1 die,
as many of my sex have done, of a
broken heart. L had put my all of
life and hope on the hazard of an
earthly love and God has smitten
me for my sim"
at was no sin to love-"
"Oh, not to love-but to build an
idol as l did--and TO worship the
creature instead Of the Creator. L
have been terribly punished. The
horror of these two brief years no
words can tell.'
There was a futter of the feeble
heart. The blue eyes sheathed
themselves meath palely tinted wax
en- lids, and the fair young form,
once so full of subtle life, was fro
zen into death.

COME. COME,
What the Bell Said to US on
Sunday Morning.

The quiet Sunday morning was
broken by the tones of q church
bell. Over the town floated its full
rich music, and it came back in
faint echoes. The bell seemed
charged with a message to the peo-
pie, which it was telling with all its
might; and the message ran thus:
"Come, come, come, come. Come,
Gomez
But, although we'll understood, it
was not needed by many; and this
is what the people said who did not
heed it, and what conscience said to
them
Bell. "Come-come."
~ People. awe do not feel very
well to-day"
Conscience. "Isn't it strange
there are so many sick people Sun
days2 Many who are well enough
on Saturday night are unable to go
out on Sunday, and those who are
sick on Sunday recover when Mon
day comes. 1t might seem as if
some weekly epidemic visited the
town with full supply of head
aches, colds, fevers and other disor-
ders."
Bell. "Come-come."
People. "The weather is too un-
pleasant to-day"
Conscience. ''Yes, the weather
on Sundays is always wrong-too
hot, too cold, too cloudy or too
windy. Sunday heats are so ox-
hausting. Sunday rains are so
penetrating. Sunday colds so pierre

Conscience. "Isnt there some

Bell. "Come-come."
People. "Our garments are not
good enough"
Conscience. "There are n great
many directions in the Bible about
how we should come before our
Lord, but the style and Inequality
of our clothes are not mentioned
The church isn't a millinery estab-
lIshment or a showroom. In old
times the rich and poor met togeth

them all"
Bell. "Come-come."
People. "We are better than
some who go to church."
Conscience. "You may be much
better than some, but are you salts

in the parable of the Pharisee and
Publican bearing upon that point"
Bell "Come-come."

ways seats there for all who come.

be no fear of wearing out your well

every Sunday"
And so the church bell kept ring
ing out its message, "Come-come."
And some needed the message, came
thanking God for the privilege Of
coming, and resolved TO come al
ways. Others still refused, and

The Rothschilds.

The death of leading member of
the house of Rothschilds is an event
of no ordinary interest, although it
can have no effect on the standing
of that great firm OF bankers. The
power exercised by this family is
Incalculable. In 1876 the combined
capital of the Rothschilds was es-
timated by good authority to be
SO, 400. 100000, an amount about
equal to the entire funded debt of

can interrupt the operations of the
house. Baron Lionel Mayer de
