TIE POPULAR LoAN.-The Secretary Of the
Treasury has given notice that when the out.
standing flve-twenty per cent. bonds of the
United States are covered by subscriptions 10
the per cent. consols tho latter will be with
drawn from sale upon the terms proposed BY
Department circular of January l, 1879, and
upon the terms stated in the contract with tho
Aessrs. Rothchild and others, of the date of Ian
usry q, 1879. The amount of the fve.twenty 6
per cent. bonds outstanding. and not embraced
in calls to this date, is $8s,0i9,sC0. When this
sum is covered by subscriptions under the exist
ing circular and contract all further sales OF 4
per cent. consols to provide for the refunling
of the ten.forty per cent. bonds will be made
upon terms which will probably be less favora-
bic to the purchaser and in accordance with new
proposals and contracts. This notice is given 30
that all parties wishing to subscribe for consols
upon the terms stated in the circular and con.
tract may have an opportunity to do 30 until the
iYe-twenty onds are called.

GEN. BUTLER's LATEST BRICK According
to Geo. s. L. Butler, there was o. full and
free election 10 Louisiana ia 1876 by tie whole
body Of electors, and that the vote ct that
State ought no. to have bee1 counted for either
candidate fer the presidency. That if there
was any legal election there, the Tildeu electors
and Nichols received the majority Of votes.
That tho returning beard had the right aud
power TO throw out the votes Of the bull0cZ I'd
parishes, aod If that werc dose, Packard and
two or three Of heT'dcn electors were elected,
and that this would have given the State to
Packard and The presidency to Tlden. Tie
electoral commission cid &C good, and wGs rraa
ticalIy an addiction Of Lhc constitutional pow
efs of Congress, and has done great BARN to
jus'ic, bp impsi,ing tho popular reverence for
the judiciary. Tio results show that it tecds
to make politics corrupt 10 send visiting states
men" Cd crrands like those Of 1876. That Mr..
Hayes was counted in "by series Ct gross
and u;justiGab!e Irregularities and frauds
which Cannot be two strongly condemned and
rebrobated." That il any Governor IVES elect
ed in Louisiana it was Packard. That the
sending of tho MacVeagh commission to Louis
iara was unconstitutional, u1warranted and
reprehensible, its object being to carry out
corrupt political bargain CT which MIR. Hayes
was to be and is the beneficiary. And that
there neither 10 nor ought to be ''aoy iudetens-

THE PLAGUE IN RUssIA.--The black
death, which has again appeared in some
parts of Russia, has proved very deatruc.
tive. and caused the greatest alarm.
This Ia the same disease which, In the
fourteenth century, deeolated the globe,
and 1t gets its name froIi the black spots,

peared to be reversed. The seasons were
at various times inverted; thunder storms

dinary activity fthe earth, accompanied
by decomposition of vast oYganie masses
-nayEiads of lncnts, hyutes. and bodies
of human beings-produced some change
in the atmosphere inimical to life.
Some writer's say that the Impure air wa
actually visible as il approached with It's
burden ofdeath. The plague owed It's
extension alL. .Ist wholly to infection and
contagion. Three years passed from the
date of its appearance in Constantinopie
before it crept by huge circle to the
Russian territories. Statistics were not
obtainable then, but it is estimated that
in China aloue IL, 600, 900 people died, and
in the remainder of the East 24,G00, ,00O

EXAMINE THE CoMBs.-Is is the easi.
eas thing IN the world when you know
how tits done--to tell when your fowls
are in iii nesith. even in the ihcipiens
stages of any disease or ailment, If you
but exa:aine your flock carefully. The
comb of each fowl is true index to the
workings Of their systems. If they be in
i'll health, the comb will lose color and
viii become far less firm in texture; as
the malady increases the color decreases,
till very sick bird will show comb
almost devoid of SCARLET color, being of a
livid dull crimson, or else pale or ashy in
appear aiioe. Il tbs ee!l:;cis=s cr any dd;;s
ease should come into the flock, carefully
examine tho eonlbs of each bird, MORN
ing and night and all those which are
wanting in that bright, rich color which
denotes perfect health, remove at once
from the flock TO a place remote, where
they should at once be put under medi-
cal treatment
The comb Of the fowl is an honest
index of the true inwacdness, and should
daily be cnnsulted by the fancier who
values the health and we'll being Of his
flock. Look at the comb of q laying hen
or pulleti She Ia in the height OF health
and strength and carries her unfailing

HIEgs FOR LovERs.-In the first
place, it is an imposition on any well
bred girl to keep her up later than half
past 10 o'clock when you have the oppor-
,tunity of seeing her often. Ifyou always
leave herfwith tho wish in her heart that
you bad staid longer, you gain 60 much.
Never run the risk of wearying her with
your presence. Be just as earnest ana
gtraigh as in your honorable
dealings with men. Impress your friends
with, the worthiness and seriousness OF
your love, so that vulgar and senseless
bantering viii appear To them as such.
Love is rellgion-the supremeat iappi-
ness; wear it nanfnlly and proudly, but
holly. Woo woman bravely. Ifthere
is anything humiliating to woman. it e
to have lover whom she wishes to hon.
or, weak ano vapid. ever yielding and
half afraid of her. She Tonga to tell him

ceals or denies his love for fear of being

A FAMILY OF SUrFERERs.--In all
times there are many culpably poor,
but at present the number whom mus
fortune has made poor is remarkably
large. Sad scenes like these are not
uncommon now that the coarser kinds
of labor are less literally paid for:
The attention of the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children in
New York was recently called to the
case of three little sisters, aged respec-
lively seven, four and two and half
years, who were found to be utterly des-
titute and starving. They had begged
piece of mouldy bread, which, d.
vided among them, made their supper
on the preceding night, and on the fol-
lowing day, when discovered, they had
not tasted food. Singularly enough
their parents are not lrunkards.
Their father, hod-carrier, has been
unable to obtain work, and their mother
is sober, but out of health. This fam
lily has for weeks been living by beg
ging, and lying out at nights in lumber.
yards when the weather was not so
warm, and on hot nights on the grass
wherever a convenient spot could be
found. The poor little ones presented
a pitiable sight, and when a meal was
placed before them. ate ravenously.
