While the cipher dispatches are being in
vestigated 1t would be well not to overlook
those sent by the Chambers. The Tribune's
expert cryptographer seems to have passed
them by entirely, and the country is, as yet,
uniformed as to why the Secretary of the
Interior and his brother should have taken
such an interest In apples and cotton In the
neighborhood of Tallahassee about the time
OF the electoral count, nor has 1t been ex-
planned why doctors were so plentiful in
Florida while there was remarkable absence
of medical men about New Orleans at the
same time. Cannot the Potter committee
get at the true inwardness OF these dis
patches?

should commit suicide to acquire the cheap
reputation Of a hero is extraordinary.
The discovery, which Is being rapidly
proved true beyond the possibility of doubt,
creates strange condition OF affairs. The
banks of Dexter had subscribed large sum
of money for Mrs. Barron's benefit, and had
already begun subscriptions to erect nonu-
ment to the hero cashier In the form of a me-
mortal church. What Is to be done with this
money now is the question. 1t would scarcely
do to erect monument to man who has
been proved to be defaulter and thief.

Saturday is the day fixed upon by Congress
for the consideration OF the bill to readiust
the duties on sugar. As, however, such bills
can be offered in the House only by unani-
nous consent, there Is little likelihood
OF its being considered then. 1t Is conf
IDENTIFY predicted by all the Northern papers
that the sugar tariff bill to be offered by the
Committee on Ways and Means cannot pass
at the present session Of Congress.

esSOmebOdy Loves Me.,,

Two or three years ago, the superin-
tendent of the Little Wanderers Home
in R, received one morning arequest
from the judge, that he would come up
to the court house. He complied directly,
and found there a group of seven little
girls, ragged, dirty and fOrlorn, beyond
what even he was accustomed TO see.
The judge, pointing to them utterly
homeless and friendless,) said: "Mr.
T, can you take any of these?
Certainly, 1 can take them al, was
the prompt reply. .....-.
"AIll What in the world can you do
with themP'
"TIl make women of them" zen
The Judge singled out one, even worse
in appearance than the rest, and asked
again, "What can you do with that OneP
"Fll make woman of her" Mr.. T,
repeated firmly and hopefully.
They we're washed and dressed, and
provided with a good supper and beds.
The next morning they went into the
school-room with the children. Mary
was the name of the little girl whose
chance for better things the judge
thought small. During the forenoon, the
teacher said to Mr.. T, in reference
to her, 81 never saw a child like that !;
have tried for an hour to get smile,
and have failed" ..
Mr.. T said afterwards, himself,
that her face was the saddest that he
had ever seen-sorrowful beyond ex-
preston; yet she was very little girl,
only five or six years old. "..-..f
After school, he called her into his
Office, and said pleasantly, MARY, I've
lost my little pet I used to have little
girl here, that would wait on me, and sit
on my knee, and loved her much. A
kind lady and gentleman have adopted
her, and I should like for you to take
her place, and be my pet now. VIII

A gleam of light fitted over the poor
child's face, as she began to understand
him. He gave her ten cents, and told
her she might 90 to store near by, and
get some candy. While she was out, he
took two or three newspapers, tore them
in pieces, and scattered them about the
room. When she returned, in few
minutes, he said to her: "Mary, will you
clear up my office little for me and
pick up those papers, and make it look
niceP
She went to work with a will. A little
ulOIC VI ILLS hl1Au VI UldildtSClLlCub- III
fact, treating her as a kind father would,
wrought the desired result. She went
into the schOol-room after dinner, with
So changed look and bearing, that the
teacher was astonished. The child's
face was absolutely radiant, she went to
her, and said:
'Mary, what is it? What makes you
look so happy F'a.a
30, I've got some one to love mep the
child answered earnestly, as if it were
heaven come down to earth.
That was all the secret. For want of
love that little ones life had been so
cold and desolate, that she had lost
childhood's beautiful faith and hope.
She could not at first believe in the
reality of kindness or joy for her. 1t
was the certainty that some one had
loved her, and desired her affection, that
lighted the child's soul, and glorifed
her face. Mary has since been adopted
by wealthy people, and lives in beau
tiful home; but more than all its beauty
and comfort running like a golden
thread through it all, she still finds the
love of her adopted father and mother.

Popular Fanaeies.

Night air and damp weather are held
in great horror by multitudes of persons
who are sickly or of weak constitutions,
consequently, by avoiding the night air,
and damp weather, and changeable
weather, and weather that is considered
too hot or too cold, they are kept with
in dOoors much the largest portion Of
their time, and as a matter of course
continue inYalids, more and more ripen-
ing for the grave every hour; the reason
is, they are breathing an impure atmo-
sphere nineteen-twentieths of their
whole existence.
As nothing can wash us clean but
pure water, so nothing can cleanse the
blood, nothing can make heakh-giving
blood, but the agency of pure air. So
great is the tendency of the blood to be-
come impure in consequence of waste,
and useless matter mixing with it as it
passes through the body, that it requires
hOgshead of air every hour of our lives
to unload it of these Impurities, but in
proportion as the air is vitiated, in such
proportion does it infallibly fail to relieve
the blood of these impurities, and inn
pure blood is the foundation of all dis
ease. The great fact that those who are
out of doors most, summer and winter,
day and night, rain or shine, have the
best health the world over, does Of itself
falsify the general impression that night
airor any other out door air is unhealthy
as compared with indoor air at the same
time.
Airis the great necessity Of life; so
much so that if deprived Of it for a mo-
ment we perish and so constant is the
necessity Of the blood for contact with
the atmosphere that every drop in the
body is exposed to the air through the
medium of the lungs every two minutes
and a.half of our existence.

Tons Of Solid Flesh.

Gypsy is the largest of Mr.. Barnum's
six elephants now at the hippOdrOme.
She is also the most intelligent, and in
ring feats and all the tricks for which
other elephants have been famous, as
well as in unnumbered others that
Gypsy's trainer claims as her own, she
is remarkably clever. Gypsy is possessed
of wonderful sagacity; never until re-
Gently has she had occasion to demon
strate how little she owed to her educa-
ton. when it becomes necessary for her
to act promptly for herself
She was ordered out for rehearsal and
followed her keeper from the stall in the
menagerie, to the gate opening into the
circus. At this point there is level
bridge of thick plank, covering sub
terTanean apartment twenty-five feet
SQUARE, in which in times past, il was
customary to house certain mysterious
animals until the exigencies of 'Blue-
beard" or other pantomimes required
their presence in the upper world, when
they were shot to the surface through
the ordinary trap.
Gypsy was nearly across the bridge
when, with crash, the heavy timbers
rave Way, and down into the cavern,
fifteen feet below, the ponderous beast
fell. fiat upon her side. The circus hands
were Immediately on the spot, and va
rious unsuccessful attempts were made
to get Gypsy out.
At last Mr.. June bethought him of
the natural sagacity of the animal, and
ordered a number of bales of hay to be
brought. One by one these were rolled
into the cavity, and as one came down
GYPSY placed her fore feet upon it and
waited patiently for the next, taking
care to place it in position before she
attempted a further ascent. She was
soon able to'mount to the surface, where
she was met with cheers. She suffered
no injuries more serious than slight
abrasion of the skin on her side.
"You'H never get Gypsy to cross that
bridge again." Mr.. Keeler, Snowman
of thirty years experience, said. ''When
an elephant has once met with an acci-
dent, it viii forever avoid the spot where
it occurred. Some years ago was show
ing Empress, bigger elephant than
Gypsy, up in Vermont. Once we were
entering a little town through which a
narrow but deep stream ran. This was
spanned by a strong wooden bridge, but
it was not strong enough to support the
elephant. The bridge went to pieces
under five tons of solid flesh, and she
fell into the creek. We had a Nicode-
mus's own time in getting hero out. Three
years afterward we were about to enter
the same town. Meantime the bridge
had been made level with the street,
houses had been built right up to it on
either side, the bridge was covered with
dirt, and none of us knew that it was
within a mile Empress did know. We
tried all sorts of ways 10 get her up the
street, but she wouldn't bulge and at
last we were obliged to take her around
the town and lead her off by another
road. She went like lamb"

The TIlnsions of ChiIdhoOd.

Who ever wished to correct the illu-
sions of childhood2 All of US can look
back to time when we believed Vividly
that our parents were perfect, and be-
heVed dimly that the whole gToWn-up
world was perfect. The child knows, in
deed, that there are bad people in the
world, but they have nothing to do with
the world in which he and his compan-
ions dwell, and when he thinks about
them, he is puzzled how to find room for
them. We have heard of a child so
moderate that he only produced two
perfect men besides his fatherto confute
the doctrine of original sin, (woman evi-
IDENTIFY being not included in its scope
but most of us would have brought for
ward a much larger body of witnesses on
his side. Now, no one would say that
you gave a child tFuer view of his IA
ther and mother if you made him under
stand that they were two very faulty be-
ings, with as much to repent of as the
naughtiness of his playfellOws. 1t is
not that truth had better be sacrificed
to love; we do sometimes feel that Of
these illusions in latter life, and any one
who will put the two states of mind side
by side will at once see their difference.
It is that the illusion is actually a truer
feeling than any you could substitute for
it. It is the natural, healthful condition
of the mind of child, the one which
puts him into his place with regard to
his elders, which enables them to do
their part toward him, and him to do his
towards them. It bears every test of
truth, except that of being Independent
of position. 1t is the truth for the par
ticular stage Of development.

Duration of ETERNITY.

Various illustrations have been sUg-
gested to sconvey to the mind some idea
of illimitable duration. 1t has been said,
suppose one drop of the ocean should be
dried up every thousand years, how long
would it be ere the last drop would dis
appear, and tine oceans bed be left dry
and dusty? Far onward as that would
be IN coming ages, Eternity would have
but commenced.
It has been said, suppose this vast
globe upon which we tread were COM
posed of particles of the finest sand, and
that one particle should disappear at the
termination Of each million of years,
oh, how inconceivablyi immense must be
the period which must elapse before the
last particle would be gone And yet,
Eternity would then be in its morning
twilight. 5-t +
1t has been said, suppose some little
insect, so small as to be imperceptible to
the naked eye, were to carry this world
by its tiny mouthflls to the most distant
star the hand of God has placed in the
heavens. Hundreds of millions of years
would be required for the single journey.
The insect commences on the leaf of
a tree, and takes its little load, so small
that even the microscope cannot dis
cover that it is gone, and sets out on its
almost endless Journey. After millions
and millions of years have rolled away,
it arrives back for its second load. Oh,
what interminable ages would elapse
before the whole tree would be removed !
When would the forest be gone? And
the globel Even then, Eternity would
not have commenced . .t
