BEAUTY IN SouTH AFRIcA.-The English
call Satan black, the Hottentots call him
white, the Cape Colonists, when Lord
Grey was Colonial Secretary, proposed
to split the difference and cali him Grey.
The Kafiirs themselves, though not gem
orally black, admire the complexion;
there has been among them man so fair
that no girl would marry him. One of the
titles of the Zulu King is, .You that
are black" To be black, then, is TO pos
sess a physical virtue. Still more im-
portant is tito be corpulent. Fatness is
sign of good feeding and good breed
ing. and, therefore, Of high social position.
Besides, as Kaffir said to Mr.. Shooter.
in the event Of a famine, fat person
might survive till the next season, while
lean one would surely die. a very
obese noble was once condemned, in
Zulu, to be hurled from precipice; being
padded by nature, be broke no bones
whereas, had he been slim, his whole
anatomy must have been dislocated. =

THOSE USEFUL conDvI1s.

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertainable
causes. When this occur, their discharg
ing function is Of necessity very imperfectly
performed, and certain debris, which is the
result Of natural bodily waste and decay,
does not escape an it seould, but remains to
corrupt The blood and develope poisonous
humors and dangerous as we'll ~ painful
diseases. II is one of the benefcient effects
Of Hostetter's Stomach Bi,ters to gently
stimulate the urinary organs, and prevent
them from lapsing into a state of inactivity,
always provocative Of their infammatory
degeneration and decay. How much better
then, is it to adopt this mild diuretic as q
means Of inticing them to action, than to
incur the danger of this destruction. To
expel from the system waste matter through
the bowels and kidneys, and to regulate and
arouse the stomach and liver, are among
the chief uees of this valuable remedy.

On gaining that to which our minds are bent /;
We choose, then fling the fragments far and

But spoil the picture on the other side
A prize is offered others seek it too;
But on we press with only self In view,
We gain our point, but pause well satisfied,
But, ah the picture on the other side.
On this sound of revelry we hear;
On that wall of mourning strikes the ear;
ON this, a carriage stands with groom and
bride,
A hearse is waiting on the other side.
We call 1t trash--we tread it roughly down,
The thing which Others might have deemed
crown
An infants eyes, annointed see the gold
Where we, world-blinded, only brass behold.
We pluck weed and fling it to the breeze;
A flower of fairest view another sees,
We strike chord with careless smile and
jest,
And break heart-string in another's breast.
Tread soft and softer still as on you go,
With eyes washed clear in loves Amounting

Life's page, well finished, turn it, satisfied,
And, 10 heavens picture on the other side.

A TERRIBLE TRIAL.

MARY KNIGHT would have graced
lVl the drawing-room of a palace if
fate had cast her lot among princes of the
earth. But she was forced to live in an
atmosphere which she felt was degrad-
ing to her womanhood. Were it not for
the strong love she had for her father
and the almost idolatrous worship she
received from him, her life would have
been unbearable.
Shortly after her mothers death her
father had taken her East and placed
her in fashionable school where she
received an education which entirely un-
fitted her for the life she was now lead
ing.
She had no female friends, and was
surrounded by the rough, uneducated
men who were her fathers companions.
Still she bore this dreary existence with
patience, sustained by her fathers love,
but often in the solitude of her chamber
wished he had never sent her from her
home in the backwoods, to acquire tastes
for life above the one he brought her
back to.
About six months previous to the time
speak of, Elliot Burnett came from the
East and settled in the mining district.
He was a young man of good personal
appearance, well educated and refined in
manner. He met Mary Knight and the
two became fast friends. Their friend
ship soon ripened into love.
Black Bill, companion of Joe
knights, had been an ardent admirer OF
Mary, and had once dared to give utter
ance to his love in her presence. She
disliked the man, and did not hesitate to
tell him so. He paid little heed to hel
repulses thinking that in time he could
overcome them. The arrival of Elliot
Burnett aroused the jealous, revengefu
part of his dark nature, and he deter
mined if Mary Knight refused to be
some his wife she should never belong
to another.
He used every means to excite thu
anger and indignation Of Joe Knigh

The great debate now in progress in the
Senate received additional interest yesterday,
owing to the speech of Senator David Davis,
of Illinois. As he has constituted a political
party by himself, and has not made formal
political speech since his transfer from the
bench to the Senate, his remarks will attract
more attention than almost any other men,
Der of that body. Judge Davis was formerly
Republican, and one Of President Lincoln's
most cherished advisers. His loyalty was
not of the kind upon which shadow rests,
and the blathering Blaines cannot ;accuse
him of endea1oring to reinstate the "lost
cause.'' He takes no narrow, partisan view,
but stands on the broad and patriotic
platform of his country. He declares
With great force and truth that the
duty of the hour is to heal animosities, pre-
vent business interests from being destroyed
and endeavoring to make united country
in fact as we'll as in name. He does not
hesitate to approve the attachment of the
rider to the appropriation bill, as we'll as t<
urge its passage.
. The position of Judge Davis is the OF
which every patriot who is not blindly par
t:aan will cordially endorse. We canno
look for craftsmanship or patriotism from

Field Work Delayed by Wet Weather.
Wheat Supplies at Mark Lane and Pro-
vincial Markets Light, With No Quota

LONDON, April 22.-The Mark Lane E1press
says: Field work has been slightly delayed,
and the continuous rains cause some uneasi.
ness. Reports from some parts Of the king
dom are less promising than few weeks since.
Reports from Scotland are favorable. Supplies
Of English wheat have been light, both at
Mark Lane and in provincial markets, and
business has been interfered with by the holi-
days. Trade was quiet buthne samples sold
steady without any reduction in price. I'M
ports of foreign wheat into London were few,
although Mondays returns showed only 1900
quarters. Subsequent arrivals to Friday ex-
ceeded 1900 quarters. The quantity has been
swelled by considerable importations from
Odessa and Nicolaief, much of which has gone
| direct to millers. American arrivals have been
light, the demand for No. 8 spring wheat ex-
| ship has exceeded the supply. The visible sup
ply shows reduction of 2. 100000 bushels in
three weeks. White shipments to the United
Kingdom were $4,000 quarters. Business in
Mark Lane is restricted, but prices have not
perceptibly varied. Sales of English wheat last
week, 47,640 quarters, at Al shillings and 2
pence, against 40,845 quarters at So shillings

On a Little "Toot."

Arrayed in butternut and somb rero,
armed with shooter and charged with bev-
erage, he looked the typical desperate of the
wild West. He was enjoying high old
lonesome according to his own fancy down
on Minnesota street, about o'clock yester.
day. He cleared the street of men, women
and children with his pistol, and blanked
if he wouldn't shoot any blanked mother g
son of 'em with something more than a
blank cartridge. He finally settled down
upon Rocheford, of the New York house, as
q victim to be inundated. Rocheford was
actually corralled and held transfxed by the
gaping muzzle of his pistol. just about this
time words reached Capt. Clark of the state
of siege on Minnesota street and he repaired
to the scene of active hostilities. He beck
oned to the fellow, and the fellow left
Rocheford and followed the captain to the
police station. There he gave his name az
Barry, of Belle Plaine, and declared he wa'
just only on little ''toot." He was told t.
reserve his toot for Judge Flint to-day, ane
was pushed into cell.

The Republican city convention wisely
adjourned until Saturday to ascertain what
the Democrats would do. We say wisely,
because the Democratic administration of
st. Paul has been great success. 1t has
reduced our taxes to thirteen mills and
brought up our credit so that SIX per cent.
bonds sell at premium. The people have
no desire to change if they can be assured
that similar policy will be continued. The
ticket which will be nominated by the Dem
ocratic city convention tomorrow, is fore
gone conclusion. But the ward nomina-
tions, which take place this evening, are o1
the most vital character. The very best
