Diamonds Unearihed j..

No cord or cable can draw so forcibly,
or bind so fast, as love can do with but a
single thread.
Children are travellers newly arrived
in steange country; we should there
fore make conscience not to mislead
them.
Nothing is so fierce but love will
soften, nothing so sharp sighted in other
matters but throws a mist before the
eyes ont.
The reason why so few marriages are
happy is because young ladies spend
their times in making nets, not in max
ing cages.
Virtue and vice are not arbitrary
things but there is natural and eternal
reason for goodness and virtue, and
against vice. and wickedness.
Contentment is pearl of great price,
and whoever procures it at the expense
of ten thousand desires takes wise
and happy desire.
There are prating cOxcombs i'll the
world who would rather talk than lis
ten, although Shakespeare were the ora
tor and human nature the theme.
There is not any one vice incident to
the mind of man against which the
world has raised such loud and uni
versal outcry as against ingratitude.

1t will be pity if Gen. Ewing and
his rag baby do not take possession of
the Democratic and Greenback Conven-
tions of this State. 1t would be a fine
thing to conduct a campaign in favor Of
the Confederate system of finance. The
people with money as good as gold and
silver-the dollar of the laborer being as
good as that of the holder of coin secu-
rities-the bondholders' income being
reduced to four per cent from six, by the
appreciation of the credit of the Govern
ment-under these circumstances the
people, for the sake of Mr.. Ewing, would
desire to re-enter the old confusion for
the profit of the gamblers in money.
That is the calculation.-Cin. Com.

RUFUS PRENTICE, brother of the
famous editor, poet and wit, is living in
Washington, at the age of three-score.
He is a small, spare man, around whose
face falls long and gray hair which
frames a kindly smile. He has been
asked about the story that George d.
Prentice was paid $25,OOe for an edito-
rial advocating secession in the Louis
vile Journal. He says that the matter
doubtless sprang from the offer of $780,.
900 by Gen. Beauregard for the purchase
of the Journal, or of the same amount to
secure its neutrality. This half million
bait was refused. George ID. Prentice
was always sorry that his two sons en-
tered the Confederate army. One of the
boys was killed In less than week, and
the other went through the war.

IT is proposed to stop the emigration
from Mississippi by an act of Congress
prohibiting steamboats, from carrying
more than Is negroes at any one trip. That
might be good law if it provided by
amendment that FIVE hundred white
Mississippians should be carried out at
every trip, with the army for posse
comitatus to make them go.-Cin. Conn.,

ACCORDING to the Democratic doc
trine, although they havebut bare ma
jority in the legislative branch of the
Government yet they control the entire
administrative functions. The old fogy
theory that it took a twO-thirds vote in
Congress to nullify Presidential veto
has been abolished, and the boys have
adapted an entirely new scheme based
on the broad general principle, "Do as
tell you or get no supplies" This fact
is mentioned in connection with the fact
that, conformity with the Greenbackers
the Democrats in Congress propose to
go Immediately into financial legislation
The wise man will need no hint that he
a;ld better stand from under.

IT is only simple justice to warn all
capitalists who are inclined to invest
money on the strength of the revival of
business since resumption and to give
them fair notice that the Democrats in
Congress have formally decided to en-
gage in financial legislation this sum-
mer, and to so legislate as to cOnciliate
the favor of the Bedlamites called
Greenbackers This, of course, will not
interfere with the Democratic plan to
establish the doctrines advocated by the
late Confederate States. This is to say,
the Confederate Congress, when it is not
engaged in repeating all the amendments
which were put upon the Constitution
at the cost of hundreds of thousands of
Northern mems lives, will occupy its
leisure time in endeavoring to ruin the
Federal Governments credit.

IT has been generally supposed that
the State sovereignty question was set
tied. At all events there were sew
eral violent expressions of opinion on
the subject in 1861 and few years fol-

more uncertainty on the topic. Let us
appeal to the ballot this time and find
out "for certain" whether we are Ma
ton or Confederate thing.

SENATOR BARNUM, Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, wants
Congress to go home. He believes that
the political debates so far have cost his
party million of votes in the country,
and that further talk will be likely to
aggravate the situation. Barnum, with
more sagacity than the rest of his party
friends in Washington, is looking ahead.

TAKING TIME BY the f0REloCK.

Coming events cast their shadows before,
and already, through the mists of months,
the gladsOme holiday season looms clearer
day by day, filling the youthful mind with
pleasing speculation, and causing materta.
milias to consider In what direction she
can exercise little additional economy,
whereby the money for presents may be
forthcoming when required. AHd just In
the nick OF time there comes to hand
suggestinn of how Johnny, and Mamie.
and Fossie. and Charley may secure for
themselves and by their own exertions,
the jack knives and work boxes, and writ
lug cases. and tool chests, for which their
souls are longing; Of how mamma may
get that book 20 often; aud of how, by
their united exertions they may obtain a
present wherewi:h to surprise and glad
den tile soul OF papa. .....-
For the publishers Of "Ehrichs' Fashion
Quarterly" are in the field with the new
premium list OF their magazine; and all
that mamma or children (or papa either
for that mattcrl need do. Is to send name
and address on postal card to Messrs.
Enrich & Co., of 2S7 Eighth Avenue. New
York. when copy of the list will be
mailed them free. and they can apprecl-
ate tor themselves the advantages offered.
The "Fashion Quarterly SO exactly
fills its place rs q guide to economy in the
household, and its subscription price, only
80 cents a year, Is so very trifling, that
little difficulty should be experienced in
securing subscriptions; and we have no
doubt that thousands will gladly avail
themselves OF the opportunity thus pre-
sented of securing some useful article at n
very moderate expense OF time and trouble

ALASKA. - The steamship California
lett Sitka on Sth. She brings down the
first shipment OF bullion, $1,000, from the
Stewart mine-1 weeks run OF 5-stamp
mill. The water power is failure, there
not being sufficient water. Steam will he
required to work all these mines. Mich.
Haley has bonded or 5 claims to l..
Radorict and Ii. =. Hall in u sum aggre-
eating one hundred thousand dollars. He
is aboard the California with these parties,
en- route TO San Francisco, to receive his
payment. The A. G.. and S. NJ. Co., are
advised by their superintendent, Rily, to
send up q 20-stamp mill at once, with
steam power. Some ground has been
jumped, but so far all disputes have been
peaceably settled. HALEY has been elect
ed Recortler-location Of office in Sitka.
There is talk of removing the Recorder
ship nearer the mines. The Jews of Sitka
are greatly incensed at Commander Boards
ley for the manner in which he has spok-
en- of them in recent report Beardslee
says, ''these Jews sell liquors to Indians
and sailors, thus melting danger" The
Jews Indignantly deny this. The noun
tains are being prospected in every direc-
tion, and new ledges are being discovered
every day. The reports from Cassiar
Mines are discouraging. Nothing new
found and the old claims worked out.
Miners are beginning to come ont and are
going to Sitka to find work in the quartz
mines. The building OF the mission school
ofthe Presbyterians has been stopped, as
the funds are exhausted. Cutting Il Co.
have put up 5000 cases Of salmon at their
factory near Sitka. The N. p II Sc p. Co.
at Klawock have put up 1000 cases and 500
barrels OF salmon. The California has on
board $53, 900 in treasure.

Death Of Samuel Rayliss, Jr.

On Saturday evening, at $50 o'clock,
after a short Enthusiastically week
Samuel Bayliss died at his residence,
No. 20 Lamotte street, Ninth Ward, of
pneumonia. Mr.. Bayliss' death was
sudden, for up to yesterday week he
had made arrangements to go with the
Friendship Fire Company to Harris
burg, on next Thursday evening, he
being chairman of the excursion COM
mittpe. Mr.. Bayliss at one time was
an officer of the fire department, having
been elected Second Assistant Engineer
of the same on Monday evening, May
3D., 1876, filling that position for two
years, and would, no doubt, had he
consented to run, been again elected.
On this occasion, to show how we'll he
stood among his fellow firemen, We
might mention that he received a ma
jority of the votes of every company in
the department. The funeral will take
place from his late residence tomorrow
afternoon, at o'clock, and no doubt
will be attended by large delegation
of the department. As mark OF re-
spect the apparatus and engine house
of the Friendship fire company has been
draped in mourning. Deceased leaves
a wife and two children, and i'll his
death not only the company but the
fire department in general loses an up
right, honorable gentleman and an ac-
tive fireman who always did his duty.

Oppo.ttIon 10 Senator Rayars.

There are public intinations that
the extreme "silvermsn' In the Senate
are still unreconciled to the retention
of Senator Bayard as chairman Of the
Finance Committee, and claim that
further caucus action will bs necessary
to settle the question. Eighteen Of the
Democratic Senators declined to sign
it, namely: Messrs. Beck, CockrelI,
Coke, Garland, Grover, Hereford,
Houston, Jonas, Maxey, Morgan, Pen
dleton, Slater, Vest, Voorhees, Walker
and Williams. The pronounced silver
men who 81 ned the paper are Messrs.
Wallace, Thurman, Mcdonald, Ran
som, Vance, Jones Of Florida, Call, Hill
of Georgia, Harris and Bailey. The
remaining eight signatures are thoss OF
Senators in accord, more or less thor
oughly, with Mr.. Bayard's financial
views. Of the seven Democratic Sena-
tors absent WIEN the paper was in
circulation it is conceded that five,
namely, Messrs. Gordon, Lamar, Ran
dolph, Mcpherson and Farley, would
have united In the request to Mr..
Bayard to retain his chairra enship, but
it is said that the other tWo-Messrs.
Johnston and Withers-would have
refused to sign it. In the event of
any considerable prolongation of the
session Mr.. Bavard's opponents intend
to revive the controversy by calling an
other caucus.

Mrs. Hull's Ring,
BosToN, June 20, y

BOSTON, June ~, ~.
The emerald ring belonging to Mrs.
Hull, which Chastine Cox, the New
York murderer, told the detectives he
gave to an unknown white woman in
this city, was recovered yesterday
morning by Inspectors Gerraugity and
Harding. The ring was fonnd in the
possession of Annie Smith, to whom
Cox gave it at a saloon at the corner of
Winchester and Pleasant streets, June
81.
She had no previous acquaintance
with Cox, but the latter Oh seeing her
in the saloon was pleased with her ap-
pearance and made her present of the
ring. The ring, when recovered, was
broken and the emerald was missing.
The woman states that when she re-
ceived it, it was broken and the stone
was loose, and that she lost the latter
on Washington street a few days ago.
1t is believed that the break was caused
in pulling the ring from Mrs. E1ull's
finger. The woman made no objection
to surrendering the article, and her
story is generally believed. All the
property stolen from Mrs. Hull is now
thought to have been recovered.

kafs1nk a 4 hUrch Debt.

At the West Presbyterian church an
all day meeting was held yesterday for
the purpose of liquidating the church
debt. In the morning the pastor an
nounced that the amount to be raised
was $26, 900. This had been divided
into $50 distinct portions, of seventy
five dollars each, and it was designed
that the portion should he given out to
individual subscribers. In the morning
ninety-two shares were subscribed
to. In the afternoon the Sabbath School
subscribed to forty more. In the even
ing there was large congregation
present and at the conclusion of the
sermon eighteen shares more were OBJ
tanned which ran the whole amount
subscribed up to 81 300.
These shares are payable in two
years and can be handed over in
amounts at the will OF the holder. At
the expiration of these two years the
principal of the debt with accrued inter-
est for the year is due. The pastor
stated that the debt had been heavy
burden upon the church, and it had
now become so burdensome that they
were determined to have it lifted. The
money IS it is handed to the trustees
will be used towards buying up the
bonds against the church, and in case
the bonds are not to be obtained then
the meney will be put out at interest,
and thus prove an offset to the interest
due upon the debt. There are one
hundred shares more yet to be taken.
