one of them has the slightest idea OF where
he is going, except that it is to kansas, and
none of them know where that Is. Not one
had selected any particular place to settle or
locate, or thought OF inquiring about any
lands for sale or for rent in that porti Of

The way In which the Federel 4 per cent

country. Last week, however, there was a
large decline In the market, and much
smaller demand for these bonds. Instead of
this beng taken as a prognostication Of evil,
1t Ia generally accepted as evidence that busi-
ness is reviving. A year ago. when these
bonds we're first placed on the market, there
were so few enterprises open for safe invest
ment that those people who had any money
TO invest were glad to purchase these bonds
Notwithstanding their very low rate of inter-
est. To-day, however, money Ia more In de-
mand; better interest can be obtained, and
consequently those who have capital decline

complaints against their Congressman, the

Consular reports from Europe, particularly
from Sweden, England. Austria and Switzer-
land. promise an unusually large emigration
to this country during the coming spring and
summer. Few of these emierants will come
alone, the plan adopted some years ago by
the settlers of Kansas and Texas OF coming
In colonies being found much better, protect
ing the emigrants from being cheated by
land-sharks, confidence me n and others. AS
to the destination Of these new Corners. the
reports show that Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin are the favorites. Texas, how
ever, will receive many OF them, and quite a
number of Swiss propose settling on the
wild lands" of Georgia. The emigration
from Germany would be very large were it
not for the repressve legislation Of that cout1-
try. which throws all kinds OF distractions Ia
the way of those desiring to leave home, pro-
hibiting the publication OF information regard
ing emigration and interfering arbitrarily In
the formation of emigration societies.

yfeitad these negroes In Sc. Louis, found
some hundred or 80 OF them In vacated
house, which they had taken possession Of
without dollar In their pockets or particle
OF work to do. They could not say why they
had left home except that they had heard
that the other negroes were going to Kansas
and they concluded to go also,
That the people of st. Louis were alarmed
by this influx IL is, OF course, unnecessary to
state. These negro emigrants generally
were able to pay their fare only as far as that
city, and seemed to labor under the delusion
that they would be carried thence TO Kansas
free Of charge. The result was to leave sew
eral thousand OF them In adestitute condition
n the future great city Of America. Efforts
are now being made to convey these unfortu-
nate people back TO the plantations where
their labor is needed and where they can
makea fair and honest living. The mayor OF
st. Louis has determined to enjon the
steamers from bringing any more Of these
people to that city under an ordinance for
bidding the importation OF paupers. In the
meanwhile, various charitable persons of st.
Louis are raising sufficient money to pre-
vent actual starvation and want The steam
boats, also, which innocently carried these
negroes from their homes, have agreed to
convey them back again, free Of cost. SO that.
after all, the evil that has been done by this
Kansas fever" will be very easily remedled.
1t is TO be hoped. however, that the narrow
escape some tens OF thousands Of Southern
negroes have just made from starving to
death In the North, or becoming thieves and
paupers In st. Louis, will be- warning
to philanthropists like Window, who.
understanding nothing Of the negro charac-
ter, raised storm like this. There is not q
speech that the Radical politicians have
made In favor of the rights of the negroes
but have reacted just as WINDOWS speech
has done, to their injury and loss.

According to general expectation, and to
the confounding of all Greenback balance OF
power calculations, the House was organized
upon strict Democratic basis, all the caucus
nominees being elected. In the vote for
Speaker the Democratic majority over all
WAS five. Thus long vexed question Ia
settled, and all doubts as to a Democratic
control OF both branches of Congress are
happily set at rest. The Greenbackers will
now recognize the fact that as party they
are not OF much consequence, and 1t is TO be
hoped that they will govern thems elves ac-
cordingly. Their noisy boasts will only serve
to render their present impotence the more
conspicuous.

The Ageing Flirt.
lLontion Mayfair. /

She was supreme five years ago.
But five years have told upon her
complexion and her beauty, while
the young men who adored her are
young men still, and WOO her little
chit of a sister, who seems to her
only fit for the governess and the
children's dinner. The retrospect
is not pleasant. she thinks oi
time wasted, of honest hearts toyed
with, embittered, rejected. She has
seen, one by one, pretty girls of not
half her beauty or style reaped and
garnercd by the proper husband
men. And now she stands out re.
jected, abandoned and in the cold.
The retrospect is not pleasant. But
how about the prospect? 1t is sad
der still. There is the gay music,
the bright rooms, the polished
floors. Still her name figures on the
invitation cards, but she knows that
she is asked not for her own but for
her sisters sake. She might, in
deed, give up the game and retire
with the dignity of years. But the

very weary. Still she tlips 1t on. q

tastic and has certainly long since
ceased to be light. Whatever may
be her faults, no one can deny that
she has courage and perseverance.
People almost wish that she had
neither. For the world is selfish
world, and people who give dances
like to see fresh faces and lovely
figures in the ballroom. Here is
the third stage in the life of the
hIrt. 1t is not pleasant picture to
look at. 1t is not-eXcept from the
moralizing cynic's point of view
an agreeable object to contemplate.
Quick ! let us dismiss the
company. Let our guests hurry
home. The dawn comes breaking
through the windows. The musl-
clans are tired. The watchman has
let his lamps out. The bright sun
is in the heavens. And here comes
the pretty, fresh young girl, her
face beaming with the roses of
youth and health, and it may be
love, to thank her hostess for q
pleasant evening. The old fiirt
takes charge of the little creature
that London society will soon turn
into q young flirt. The admiring
beaux escort both down to their
carriage door, and the coachman
drives home by the park. The
blackbirds are piping loudly in
Kensington Gardens. The market
gardeners are reposing on flat forms
of cabbage and salads that the
sleepy horses are mechanically
dragging to the great mart at Co.
vent Garden. It is just another
ball got through, but the season is
at its height and there are many
more to follow. Perhaps the elder
sister might give one word of adj
vice to the younger and warn her
before it is too late Of the fate of q
faded old flirt.

Where a Minister Drew the Line.
New York Examiner.

When DR.. j. S. Backus was pas
tor at Auburn, N. Y, many years
ago, the Rev. A. X. Stimson
(known as the converted stage
driver spent q Sunday with him.
On Sunday morning DR.. Backus
gently reproved his guest for shay
ing and backing his boots on Sun
day morning, saying to him that
was work he did on Saturday night.
Brother Stimson felt the gentle ad-
monition. The Auburn pastor held
an evening service at an out sta
ton, and both ministers went to it,
riding after friend Stimson's horse,
which was a particularly fine ami
NAL. DR.. Backus, pleased with the
horse, as they rode along said many
nice things of the animal, and
wanted to know how much Stim.
son paid for HIM, and finally what
he would take for him. Stimson,
with that ready wit that never
failed him, said, "Well, Brother
Backus, / do sometimes shave and
black my boots on Sunday morn.
Ing, but l never trade horses on
Sunday afteruoonn Brother
Backus acknowledged that he had
been led astray by love of fine
horse.
