The DesOlatiOn of Babylon.

1t is usual for travellers to dwell
upon the desolation of Babylon, ami to
paint its cite as strip of desert, espe-
cially woe-begone and unfertile. But
the elegant gentlemen who dwell upon
this aspect of the place could not have
seen it in the middle of April. The
date groves end gardens along the
banks of the Euphrates are then things
of beauty in their fresh spring verdure,
and the plain itself is laid down with
crops. Irrigation canals cross it here
and there and give trouble to the
horsemsn. No grass grows upon the
mounds, and there are patches of the
level, white with inter, which is to be
found here as in other parts of MesO>
pOtamia; but the surface of the soil is
on the whole green and pleasant to the
eve. The glad waters of the river
flow on in the bright morning sunshine,
with palm and mulberry hanging over
its banks, drinks in sap and life. The
great city which counted its population
by millions, and filled the world with
a renown net yet forgotten, has disap-
.peared under the dust Of twenty centu-
ries, but nature is as fresh and jocund
as when Babylon was still unbuilt.
Birds sing overhead in the pleasant
spring air; butterflies perch about in
search of flowers; bslmy odors regale
the sense. 1t is difficult under the
circumstances to feel as one perhaps
ought to feel for the great Capital which
once numbered this ground. Nature
does not mourn for il, and it is hard to
be sad at the budding of sentiment
when the bright spring hides its grave.

The Vice of Treating.

hochester democrat
If there Is noble human impulse
or virtue perverted and abused worse
than others by Americans, it is that OF
generosity. And perhaps one of the
very worst perversions of this beDifl
cence may be found in that degenerate
custom com monty known as treating
Possibly its origin may be traced back
to spontaneous generosity, but If so,
how widely has it diverged from the
first principles of the admirable virtue
which gave it birth.
But who would have the effrontery
to claim that it is a generous motive
which prompts men to tempt their fell
low men? Strangely enough, he is
sometimes called a waTm-hearted, E,
whole-souIed man who leads his neigh
Dor up to the bar and urges him to par
take of that which may deprive him of
situation. self respect and reputation.
Reflection does not improve the cOm-
plexion of this worse than burlesque
upon lberality, to the sad effects of
which there are thousands of wretched
monuments to be seen in every large
city.
Even though stripped of its ruinous-
ly injurious features. the custom of
treating would yet be ridiculous one.
Imagine its application to the pur-
chase of other commodities than Ii
quors and cigars. Think how ludic-
rOus would be the proposition OF a
young man TO his companion, while
they were promenading the arcade, of
such an idea as this:
'Aw, come along, | say, and have a
pair of spectacles with me; l want to
wet this new hat
What if company of young gentle
men on the street should say:
Now, boys, l want to set 'em up for
the crowd; oome in and have chrO-
mo. or bracket or something with
mep
Yet which would be more valuable
to man and his family, chrOmos,
brackets, and even spectacles, or liquor
enough to make him drunk?
1t is lamentable fact that treating
is d custom as purely American as it is
ruinous in its effect. And yet, with
this, as with many other injurious
practices, people recognize and ac-
knowledge their evil influence and
power, but will not abandon or con-
demn them because they happen tosbe
customs largely observed by those
who have the name Of being generous,
and Stunned by the s;ingy, hard-fsted
class.

with Tilden as the Democratic candidate; un-
ess it were campaign in which the Demo
cratic party started, out with an acknowledge
ment that its reform candidate was such a
disgraeeful old cheat that it couldsnot run
him again. Repudiated or vindicated, Mr..
Tilden has been made by the cipher discus
sion the great obstacle to Democratic sue
cess in 1880.
Ii should be remembered that the discus
sion has not only proved that Weed, Pelton.
Marbel and Wooilty were ready to buy the
Presidency for the Democratic candidate, but
it has satisfied all reasonable persons that some
body was ready to pay tine money which they
promised. If Mr.. Tilden is to be acquitted of
direct acquiescence in the scheme, upon
whom then will suspicion fall {? The Demo
cracy cannot relieve their csndidste without
throwing terrible discredit upon their Ma
tional Committee, or upon some of the lead
ing men of the party. We must not lose
sight of the fact that the rascality wss con,
cocted somewhere on their premises, and it
chiefly coLcerns them to decide which of the

hat is Contraction ?

As regards the bankruptcy, idleness of la
bor and capital, and the losses in business, so
much dwelt upon, we do not well see how
they could have been avoided under any sys-
TEN in settling down from the wild initiation
of the war era To talk of contraction as an
evil, when the value of the greenback dollar
was only 36 cents in gold at the highest point
of initiation, is an abuse of terms. The green
back has been raised in value to the full
standard of gold. Is that contraction ? The
bank curaency has been enhanced in the Same
way. Is that contraction ? Three hundred
millions of gold and silver have been added to
the circulation. Is that contraction ? The
drain of gold and silver has been arrested. Is
thai contraction Incomes are of nearly
thrice the value that they were in 1864. Is
that contraction ? Capital and credit are in
enormous supply at all business centers Is
that contraction Rates of interest are low.
Is that contraction ? As to the want of en-
ployment, it is the same alb over Europe,
where our currency changes cannot be held
responsible as the cause. Philadelphia

The Use of 1t.

The cipher inquiry has a practical import
ance which some people are slow to appre
,iate 1t is not pursued from motives of idle
curiosity or of personal enmity. 1t is likely
to determine who shall be the next President
of the United States. 1t is likely to settle the
question whether the Government shall pass
into the hands of the party which tried to de-
stroy the Union and which is now trying to
reverse the results of the war, or shall be re-
tanned in the charge of the party which saved
the Union, the party which is committed to
the def nee of national honor, justice, peace,
progress and equal rights The conspiracy
disclosed by the cipher dispatches was so
base, SO Caring, so fraught with danger to
free institutions, that the inquiry ought not
to stop until the remotest ramifcations of the
plot have BEEN laid bare. 1t is not enough
that disgrace has overtaken the few men who
figure by name in the correspondence. They
were only the agents in the affair, not the
principals. They only negotiated the bribes;
some higher authority stood behind them
with the money. Perhaps a committee of
Congress might have got at the bottom facts,
if it had hegun in season; but at this late hour
the discovery of the full truth must depend
largely upon discussion in the newspapers.
Already the debate has had one very seri
Gus effect. It has placed the Democratic
party in the dilemma cf either convicting its
leader and candidate o: an outrageous fraud
which it will not do; or of voting him reso-
luton of acquittal-which would inevitably
make him the leader of The party again.
Either choice would be dstasteful to the De-
mocracy. Either would be observed with
great satisfaction by the Republicans. We
could desire nothing better than campaign

A SchOOI.master as a Ising-mas.
ter

In Edward Eggleston's paper on
"Some Western SchoOl-masters," pub
lished in the March Seribner, occurs
this anecdote of school discipline in
Indiana in the old times:
To a nervous child the old discipline
was, indeed. very terrible. The long
beech switches hanging on hooks
against the wall haunted me night anu
day, from the time | entered one OF
the schools. And whenever there
came an outburst between master and
pupils, the thuughtless child often got
the beating that should have fallen
upon the malicious miSchief-maker
As the master was always quick to fly
into passion, the fun-lOvIng boys
were happy to stir him up. II was an
exciting sport, like bull-baitiDg, or like
poking Sticks through fence at a cross
dog. sometimes the ferociUus N, ster
showed an ability on his CWn part to
get some fun out of the conflict, IS on
one occasion in a school in Ohio, the
boys were forbidden to attend a circus.
Five or six of them went, u spite OF
the prohibition. The next morning
the schOOl-master called them out in
the floor and addressed them:
"Soyou went to the circus, nd you?''
eyes, SIR"
"WelI, the others did Dot get q
chance to see the circus. [ want you
to show them what it looked like, and
how the horses galloped around the
ring. You will join your hands in a
circle about the stove. Now start!'
With that he began whipping them,
as they trotted around and around the
stove. This story is told, L believe, in
little volume OF Sketches by En-
win House, now long forgotten, like
many other good books of the West
ern literature of generation ago.
think the author was one of the boys
who played horse in the masters cir
Gus.
