From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Demo
Gratis, iftho statements of their leading mer
are to 30 relied upon, have already agreea
upon the programme which they will en-
deavor to follow. The plan, as stated by
one of the..members of the Committee Of
Safety, the thinking committee of tho De-
mocrats is: We will take the Juror test oath
section out Of tho legislative bill and pass
it Immediately as separate bill aud seud it
to the President. That law is tho only one
that tho South cares anything about at any
rate, and Southern men, as matter of fact
as to these other propositions have only
favored them OF the request of the North
ern Democrats. expect that the Presi-
dent will sign tho jurors test oath repeal
bill. We should then pass the legislative
executive and judicial appropriation bill
through both Houses, striking out the
sections which propose the repeal of the
Supervisors law and the Deputy Marshals
law, inserting instead of thom the provision
that no money appropriated by that bill
shall bo applied, under penalties, to the
payment of any Supervisors. Of course
Supervisors could be appointed, but it would
be necessary for the Republicans to pay
them, if they we're to be paid at ell, out Of
their cal. l.paign fund and not out of the
Federal Treasury. And then we should
let tho army bill fail No attempt would bo
made TO report i. from the committee.
Very few people in this country care much
about the army any way. Tho bill has
already failed throo or four times in our
history without the destruction Of the Go
vcrnment, or material inconvenience, and
the bulk of the army appropriations goes to
the pay of officcrs, who are considered by
large portion Of this country as lot of orna.

Buying a Railroad for Cash.

The Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad
was sold in Montgomery Thursday. There
were some interesting features about it
outside the bare details of the Transaction.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company wanted the limo badly, and had
secured the control Of the bonds. It was
thought by the outsiders it would win.
The Central Railroad Company of Georgia
was compelled to have it to protect their
varied connections aud interests. Mont
gomery favored tho Kentucky party.
The sale took place at the artesian basin,
Mr. Bringham Young being auotioneer. The
TWO parties wore arrayed in hostile camps
one led by DR. Staudiford, President of the
Louisville and Nashville, and the other BY
Col. Wadley, President of the Georgia
Central. The former was the largest crowd,
but the Georgians looked game and deter
mined.
United States Commissioner Duniok read
the decree of court. Maj. Semple, attorney
of the Central, asked Receiver Lane how
much cost was in his hands, and $4,000
came as the reply.
MIR. Foster, New York lawyer, did the
bidding for the Louisville and Nashville,
aud Col. Wadlcy for himself. Tho battle
began by Foster putting up $780, 900, and
Col' Wadley saw him $4,000 better.
Then amounts went up rapidly by fve and
one thousands, until $l,55O,OOO were
reached, when Kentucky went up $50 900,
and Georgia, not bull-dozed the least,
quietly nodded an additional thousand.
So they went on to 81, 800 900, when Ken.
tucky weakened and consulted. At this
point Georgia division express superinten.
dent quietly remarked: "Johp, the old man
means to buy her." The auotioneer cried
out: "Don't turn your backs on me, gentle-
men, como to me; railroads are not sold
every day in Montgomery"
Kentucky returned to the charge, and
tho figures rose rapidly to two millions,
when Louisville again hobrobbed. A
gentleman with Mosaic nose, in passing,
heard the cry: "Only two millions; who
will bid more?" "Only two millions!"
muttered audibly the foreigner, "mine Got
in himmel! only, only,"- Twas too much
for him, and he passed On sadly.
About this time the United States Com
missioner remarked: "Goptlemeu, remcm-
Der this is cash trausa action, and the money
must be paid by 2 O'clock" ri am aware
of that" answered Col. Wadley; "but you'll
allow me time to go to the bank; as / don't
generally carry that much money about me.
Kentucky again rallied and gradually
advanced to S2,ll9,000. Col. Wadley
nodded 2, 100000 and Louisville quit tho
field in disgust, having had enough. The
party, with their engine and three cars,
with which they intended to exoursionize
over their possessions, returned to Louis
vile that afternoon. The Shawnecks had
scored another victory over the Domiuickers
They say Georgian tossed up his hat and
gave yell of triumph.
The cash was paid at P. NJ, and the
Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad passed
into tho control of President Wadley and
the Central Railroad and Banking Com

1t is stated that Col. Lane, the late re-
ceiver made 100000 by the sale.

entirely decomposod. A skull was taken out
almost perfect, bit ON being exposed to the
air suddenly fell to pieces. 0h and about the
bodies were found quantity of beads. In
most instancbs these were found in q position
which would indicate that they were around
the necks of the dorpses and gathered in
bunches on their breasts. On ono Of the
bodies, the more outlines of which we're visi

Build on oil Sides.

A young man at college, greatly pressed
with lessons and class ambitions, writes for
advice. He has fallen out from many of the
religious habits which once held him. He
does not attend the Bible class nor the
prayer-meeting. He has excused himself
hitherto on the ground of mental culture
But the question begins TO disturb him,
whether he will be able to take up his higher
religious life when that far-off day of leisure
comes. The honest reply to this young man
would be warning note to hundreds who are
in the same temptation. Nothing is surer
than that such remission of religious duty
must bring enormous danger. 1t will not do
to build up three sides of tower and leave
the fourth unbuilt. The walls of character
and culture must go up evenly. The spirit
level must be often laid upon the work. And
this is only stating it feebly. The truth il
that the department of conscience and of
spiritual living is fundamental 1t lies be.
low the rest. II life is to have symmetry
or safety to satisfy any Christians ambi-
tion the entire mason work must 90 up to-
gether. 1t is most deplorable to see what
fatal blunders are being made in our col
leges and schools. Young men are going
aside from the warm room of religious cul-
ture into the chilled outdoor atmosphere of
intellectualism. They do not see the peril
they are in. II is vastly plausible to accept
for time the omission of religious duty for
the sake of more study, more experiments,
more scientific excursions. But society is
full of young men who have tried this ex-
pertinent, and who now stand as warning
examples of frozen spiritual life. Little by
little they have let the chill creep over them
until they were past consciousness of their
peril. Parents do not see this mischief until
it is too late to remedy it. Professors and
teachers often think their line of duty is
aside from matters of this sort. And yet how
few words, and how little thinking would be
needed to prove that we are doing a poor
business in education to bring out active
and cultured minds coupled with dead or
half dead religious convictions. 1t is ap
palling to run over the catalogues and see
the names Of youth who came from homes
of ancestral faith, but who have gone out
into the world saturated with the worlds
spirit and dead to the highest aims of godly
living. This kind of life-building is going
on all the time. 1t is accepted under the
pressure of lessons and scholarly ambitions
But many, many parent has welcomed a
son home from college and has soon dis
covered at what fearful cost education has
been won. That parent has seen that the
structure of life has been built only on one
side, and that the very foundations of spiritual
culture were wanting. Aud their bitter
tears have been shed, when it was all too
late, at the sight of moral and religious
character tumbling in ruins because it was
not built on all sides.-Presbyterian

Things to Remember.

/. Remember that In teaching, as well as
in any other business, you must have a
good deal of capital invested to obtain
large proceeds.
2. Remember that your capital is your
health, your education, your library, your de-
termination to brighten and improve your
self, and your power to teach others.
8. Remember that every good business
man seeks to enlarge his business each year,
by constantly investing more capital
A. Remember that good business men
watch the market; they mark what others
are doing, note how they do it, and take pa
pers and journals that give specific informa-
ton. You will be very short-sighted if you
do not initiate their example
D. Business men often meet and consult.
They have exchanges, boards of trade, hold
fairs, etc. Teachers who do not pursue a
similar line of conduct have themselves to
blame when they fail

ness in many respects, and must be con-
Quoted on business principles that it does
not consist in keeping your pupils still, and
getting replies to questions, many of which
you could not answer yourself.
Z. Remember that your work, If done
Alright, will make you a competent man or
woman it will, like any business, give you
better Judgment more information, and
wider range OF thought.
8. Remember that you ought TO be more
deeply interested in it every day, as every
business man Is in his business. York

Sympathy with Servants.

When servants feel that the mistress re.
cognizes their true value as human beings,
they are ready enough to yield only too
much respect to her ladyhood A "real
lady " is their most emphatic expression OF
appreciation. 1t means one who has no
need to take thought for her dignity, who
is incapable, if only for her own sake,
OF being otherwise than gentle. The better
such one is known to her servants, the
more irresistible will be her influence over
them, and the more cordially recognized her
authority. With all these cautions we may,
| believe, safely venture to lay aside, by de.
grees, that part of a barrier of reserve which
Is artificial and voluntary, knowing that it
is not help but hindrance to the born
ruler, as well as to the kind-hearted. Bar.
riers OF reserve and coldness may be broken
down or thawed in thousand ways, which
II Is not necessary to suggest in detail
Women know well enough the little arts by
which acquaintance is made and carried on
towards friendship. A little free play OF
natural impulses is all that is wanted. Out
spoken praise or blame of our servants work
instead of a chill silence upon which all
their service falls fiat a little wholesome
gossip, or If the word sounds better, let us
say chat, about anything in the world that
comes in naturally; little occasional ap
peal for sympathy on ones own behalf, es
pecially if one remembers to tell the bright
as well as the dark side of ones own exper
fences; a little service done or asked out OF
the regular routine; all these things are
what Friends" call "very uniting and
they are certainly are very easy except to
the slaves of shyness. Shyness has much tc
answer for, but / do not believe that il
would alone suffice to hold froslbound the
natural stream of sympathy and good will
If we could once get rid of the idea thai
there is some danger either to our authority
or to our delicacy, in allowing freer inter
change OF ideas with our servants.-Niae

WOman's Hand.

The female thumb is said to be an i'm
portant index of the female character.
Women with large thumbs are held by
phrenologists, physiognomists, etc., to be
more than ordinarily intelligent-what are
called sensible women-while women with
small thumbs are regarded as romantic. Ac-
cordlng to certain authors, who profess to
have been observers, womau's hand is
more indicative of woman's character then
her face, as the latter is TO a certain ex-
tent under the control of temporary emo
tiobs, or Of the will, whereas the former is a
fact which exists for any one who under
stands it to profit by. Consequently, a few
hints about the proper reading of woman's
hand may be very useful to certain of our
readers, especially married men, or men
contemplating matrimony. Women with
square hands and small thumbs are said to
make good and gentle housewives. These
sort OF women will make any man happy
who is fortunate enough to win them. They
are not all romantic, but they are what is
better-thoroughly domestic. Women with
very large thumbs have "temper" of their
own, and generally long tongue There is
hint in this to the lover. Let him, the
first time he seizes hold of his mistress
hand, examine, under some pretext OF
another, her thumb; and if it be large, let
him make up his mind that as soon as he
becomes married man he will have to be O
good boy, or else there will be trouble
Again, if young man finds that his lady
love has large palm, with cone-shaped
fingers and small thumb, let him thank
his stars--for in that case she is susceptible
to tenderness, readily nattered, easily talked
into, or talked out Of, ANYTHING, and can be
