Awed BY an Empress.

A loyal citizen of the United States
can hardly appreciate the reverence
with which the loyal subject of mon
arch regards his sovereign. The Repub-
lican believes that all men should be po-
litically free and equal, while in the
ewes of the Monarchlst "such divinity
doth hedge King" as not only to awe
those whom he rules, but to justify
him in ruling them. An amusing incl
dent once occurred at the Court of st.
Petersburg, which illustrates Monarch
lists reverence for sovereign.
The Empress Elizabeth was fond of
calling incOgnitd at the houses of her
noble ladies when some famous person
was visiting them. She delighted to
remain hidden behind one of her maids
of honor, and see and hear the famous
lion.
On one occasion, during the wars of
Napoleon, handsome Tyrolese, Franz
Jubile, who had acquired fame as q
leader of his people, was visiting the
house of the Duchess of Wurtemberg
The Empress, having heard of the songs
which the handsome Tyrolese sung
and of his adventures. was present, hid
den, as usual, behind her ladies.
Jubile was in excellent spirits, and
told stories, chatted and sung with vi.
vacity. just before the party broke up
the Empress came out of her hiding
place and began conversation with
the Tyrolese.
He, not knowing who she was, talked
in the short, brusque way natural to a
mountaineer, and made some harsh re-
marks about the Grand Duke of Baden,
the Empress brother. She listened
with a gracious smile, but one of the
guests said: do you know, Jubile, to
whom you are speaking? 1t is the
Empress"
The man turned pale, and stammered
out: "Your Imperial Majesty, pardon
me. 1t was your own doing. 1 did
not know who you were; l thought you
were only maid of honor"
The Empress tried in vain to reas
sure him. He went home, took to his
bed, and for several days was under the
doctors hands.
at was worse than cannon-ball," he
replied to friends inquiry. "The
Empress has shot me through the
heart"

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A GERMAN radical philosopher has
said that man is what he eats, mean
ing that his body and his brain are built
up out of his food, and are, therefore,
coarse or fine, according to- what he
takes into his alimentary canal.
IT has been calculated that if single
grain of wheat produces fifty grains in
one years growth, and these and sue
ceeding crops be planted and yield pro-
portionately, the product of twelve
years would suffice to supply all the
inhabitants of the earth for lifetime
In twelve years the single grain will
have multiplied itself 244, lao, 625, 00O,-
900 times.
Sun STROKE is caused by excessive
heat; but loss of sleep, worry, and gen.
eral debility will predispose one to it.
Those obliged to work in the hot sun
should wear light straw hat with a
wet cloth within; cabbage-leaf is often
used for the same purpose. liza feeling
of dizziness comes on, seek q cool and
shady place at once, and apply cold
water to the head. Ammonia should be
inhaled if faintness is felt, but very
cautiously.
TEA-TAsTERs are well aware IF the
dangers to which they are subject, and
few of them can carry on the business
for many years without running their
health. Moderate draughts of tea may
produce an agreeable exhilaration of
mind and body, with no noticeable re-
action; but the effects of its excessive
use are declared by doctors to be palpi-
tation of the heart, an absence of ex-
hilaration, severe headache, dimness of
vision, and dizziness and confusion of
mind. Cases of severe neuralgia are
frequently the result of over-much tea.
The following facts, given by the
authority of the British Medical Jour-
nal, should be read and remembered
by all boys: "A certain doctor, struck
with the large number of boys under Is
years of age whom he observed smok-
ing, was led to inquire into the effect
the habit had upon their general health.
He took for this purpose thirty-eight
boys, aged from to Is years, and care
fully examined them; and in twenty
seven of them he discovered injurious
traces of the habit. In twenty-five
there were various disorders of the cir
culation and digestion, palpitation of
the heart, and more or less marked
taste for strong drink. In twelve there
was frequent bleeding of the nose; ten
had disturbed sleep, and twelve had
slight liberation OF the mucous mem
brane of the mouth, which disappeared
on ceasing from the use of tobacco for
some days. Medical treatment was of
little use till the smoking was discon
tinued, when health and strength was
soon restored"

Paper Hanging.

We would urge the necessity, from a
sanitary point of view, of having the
walls of room thoroughly stripped of all
old paper and washed and dried before
laying on new paper. Old papers,
containing as they do large amount
of vegetable and animal matter in the
form of size, are easily softened by
moisture, and are then subject to pu-
trefaction and mildew, the odor
from which is both unpleasant and un-
healthy. This, however, is an evil that
can easily be averted by expanding a
few dollars in stripping and thoroughly
cleaning the wall before each repaper-
ing. Inquiry is often made by the
careful housewife as to whether paper
hangings will clean, and, if so, which is
the best method to adopt. Good hand
printed paper will clean, but machine
made paper, owing to the material used in
sizing the colors, as already explained,
will not. The following is the method
that can be used: Cut into four or six
parts moderate-sized loaf of bread
that is two days old-it must be neither
newer nor staler. With one Of these
pieces, after blowing off all the dust
from the paper to be cleaned with a
good pair of bellows, begin at the top
of the room, holding with the crust in
the hand and wisping lightly downward
with the cr7umb, about half yard at
each stroke, till the upper part of the
hanging is completely cleaned all
around. Then go around again, with a
light sweeping stroke downward, and
always commencing each successive
course little higher than the upper
stroke had extended, till the bottom lis
finished. This operation, if carefully
performed, will frequently make very
old paper look almost equal to new
Great caution must be used not by any
means to rub the paper hard, or to at
tempt cleaning it in lateral or hori-
zontal way. The dirty part of the
bread, too, must each time be cut away
and the pieces renewed as soon as il
may become necessary. = Cabinet

INCRUsTED bronze is mentioned as a
recent Partisan novelty in bronze or
copper ware, with gold and silver orna-
mentation. To fix the latter on articles
of bronze or copper, they are first paint
ed in water colors, the principal ingre-
dent of which is white lead. When
several articles are to receive the same
drawing it may be printed in the same
manner as porcelain painting. The
places which remain implanted are var
nished. The object is then laid in di-
luted nitric acid, which dissolves the
color and bites the metal on the painted
parts to the required depths; after wash
ing the object, it is placed in gold or
silver bath, where the free surfaces are
electrotyped in silver or gold; the var
nish is then removed, and the whole
surface is polished SO that the gilded
and silvered parts are not unduly prom
inent. After this comes the bronzing,
fine effect, it is said, being produced
with black bronze by sulphide of cop
per in the spaces between the gold and
silver.

Lanc-uor. It's Cause and Remedy.

The cause of languor, when it is not the i'm
mediate or indirect consequence of positive dis
ease, is traceabe to facilitating temperature.
Persons ii wing in warm, moist climate are pc
culiarly subject to it. Diminished physical
vigor aud ali mdispositipn to active exertion are
its characteristics. Sometimes it is accompa-
MED by undue relaxation of the bowels, and by
dyspeptic or bilious symptoms. A reliable
remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a

A NEW CATECHIs.I.

The Catechism was ut an earlier period of
the world avery potent agency for educating
the rising generation both rs to religion and
politics, and may be made useful perhaps
again. We therefore submit the following
points, Systematically put, which are a part
of the political history of our country, and
which should be impressed upon the minds
of old and young alike:
Who have, repeatedly violated the sane
tity of the polls?
The Democracy-both North and South.
Who first used an army at the polls?
The Democracy
Who used the army for the vile purpose
of suppressing free and lawful elections?
The Democracy.
Who resorted to ruflian and banditti ac-
tions to rob honest maiorities of their legal
and honest rights?
The Democracy.
Who have resorted to brute force and
satanic cunning to rob the people of what is
of far more value than money-of their
rights rs men?
The Democracy.
Who in the past were allied with and sup
ported with their utmost zeal cruel i'm
moral, and dishonorable actions, and who
sustain these actions in the present and con-
tend for them in the future?
The Democracy.
Who have used every means in their
power, official and individual TO subvert
the Government TO the control of base
oligarchy?
The Democracy.
Who now resort to all manner of dccep-
tions and Misrepresentation and indulge in
n multiplicity of personal vituperation for
the purpose Of trying to regain the control
Of the Government?
The Democracy.
Who created the necessity for the statute
ITO keep peace at the polls"-who first
broke the "peace" and necessitated the
armed defense of the sacred ballot-box? ?
The Democracy.
The Democracy having created the neces-
sity for an armed defense of the polls, now
endeavor TO represent that defense as n mis-
use of power and as an oppression too irk-
! however, know that an armed force for the
defense of the polls is II far less evil than TO
allow those polls to be dcsecrated by the
rufiianism Of the North and the bandtti of
the South; and they will not rest until
there is no further necessity for any such
use of an armed force ut the polls, and will
see that the Democracy less and less profit
by any such unlawful and revolutionary
actions, whereby they have been able, MS II
contemplate minority, to trample honest
maiOrtes under their feet.
No necessity for armed protection of the
polls.
Freedom for all, unmolcsted, to excr-
else the full rights of the American citizen.
Shot-guns and tissue ballots are in order
by the Democracy of the South, while blud-
geons and false registering are in order by
the Democracy of the North. According to
Democratic teachings whatever interleres
with the full exercise of these rights (?) by
the pure Democracy is a curtalment and Is
fringement of the right Of the people, /. O..
themselves, and their right to carry the
| elections.

HISTORY vs.. HISTORY.

When Senator HILL of Georgia, made his
tory in the Senate of the United States re-
Gently for 1879 lie solemnly declared to the
country that the South seeded because
there was war made upon what she be-
"lieyed to be her constitutional rights by
the extreme men of the North. These en-
treme men of the North We're gaining alb
"sOlute power in the Federal Government,
"as the machinery by which to destroy
Southern property" Now, this declaration
is either true or false. We are inclined to
the opinion that Senator HILL allowed him
self rhetorical license which is scarcely
justified by other and equally distinguished
and accredited history. We will introduce
as II witness to dslodge Senator HILL from
his wild and unregulated declaration, the
Hon. ALEX II. STEPHENS GcOrgia's great
Commoncr in 1870. During the convention
held in Georgia in 1861 he made the follow
ing distinct declarations, which impeach
the accuracy Of Senator HILLS recent state
ment in the Senate. Let the facts and fig
urcs Of Mr.. STEPHENS be carefully studied
now, for they are in no degree impaired by
age, and they offer u fitting rcbulie to SEN
ator rIIHI.sromancing with accredited truth
for partisan effect at this critical period
in the nations history. Read and ponder
well:
But again, gentlemen, what have we TO gain
by this proposed change of our relations to the
General Government We have always had
the control of it, and can yet if we remain in ii
aud are ~ united as we have been. We have
had majority of the Presidents chosen from
the South, ts well rs the control and manage
, mcnt of most of those chosen from the North
We have had sixty years of Southern Presidents
| to their twenty-lour thus controlling the exec.
utiye department. SO of the Judges of the
Supreme Court we have had eighteen from the
South aud but eleven from the North. This we
have required so as to guard against any inter.
probation of the Constitution unfavOrable to u.s.
In like manner we have been equally watch.
iul TO guard our interests in the legislative
branch of the Government. In choosing the
presiding Presidents (prO tem) of the Senate
we have mad twenty.four to thoir eleven
Speakers of the House we have had twenty
three aud they twelve While the majority of
the Representatives, from their greater
population, have always been from the
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-05-26
VIRGINIA ADVICE.

The Lynchburg DUginidn has evolved n
proposition for Democratic consideration
which indicates that thinks it has got the
whole matter of the Washington muddle, as
it terms it, down to very fine thing. 1t
breaks the matter very modestly and ten
derly to Congress in this wise:
We may not attempt to dictate to the Demo.
Gratis in Congress, but, having opinions, will
submit them for Just what they are worth. And
first we remark that, rs the President seems
now to bo completely under the influence of the
stawart Republicans, rs they delight to call
themselves, aud there is no prospect of an agree
ment between him and the majority in Con-
gross, it is idle for that body to prOtract its
sion under present circumstances. And so,
when the legislative appropriation bill shall
have been returned with the veto of the Exec
utive, rs it will be- Congress should pass all the
appropriation bills without further delay, Civ
ing six months supplies and no more, and
then submit the whole question, in II stirring
appeal, TO the people
| This is no new invention, yet it will
serve as an expedient perhaps with which
to attempt to dcludc the people, but it will
fail in that respect. The Democrats have
got to the end of their tether in fooling the
people. Their insncerity and hypocrisy
have been discovered and hence have be-
come lumber in the public mind. Now, we
| trust that the Democrats in Congress may
be induced to do something and 20 home.
| They have wasted more than two months
| in sheer nonsense, and now let them extend
the bcggarly appropriations for six
months, then issue an address to the coun-
try and then return to their constituents to
be denounced Tor attempting revolution
which through cOwardice they dared not to
consummate and hence have postponed for
six months. Let it take that shape if it
pleases the wisdom and patriotism of the
Democrats to approach their revolution
| gradually. 1t matters little with their
future what they may do now, for their
fate is sealed. The thunders of popular
condemnation have been aroused, and will
roll upon them until they will seek hiding
places away from public scorn in the fis-
sures of the rocks and in the caves of the
mountains.

quirc, Was it for this that was made n
free man and citizen? lie found that his
political opinions and rights were enslaved
if his body was not, and that his estate
was that of discomfort and even of
oppression 1t was for this reason that
the colored man became discontented and
sought other and more congenial sections of
the country in which to secure n livelihood
for himself and those dependent upon him.
He desired to live where his rights of citi-
zenship would be respected and his labor
would be appreciated and rewarded and In
this he only asserted the rights of manhood
and acted the part of n man. The people
of the South have had, and perhaps now
have, the power to secure colored labor, but
that end can be reached only by introduce
ing a wiser and more just policy toward
them
