TEMPERANCE IN CONGRESS-.

II is really gratifying to be able TO find
s,ne Indications of temperance feeling in
Congress. II is indeed doubtful if any
thing directly helpful to the cause will
be accomplished there at present, but
it is worth something to know that few
members of that body have the cause suf-
ficiently at heart to attempt legislation up
on 1t. Conspicuous among these few
members is Senator Flanagan, of Texas,
who lately addressed stirring speech to
the Senate. pointing out the immense evil
of the liquor traffic. and affirming his be-
lief that the country's welfare needed leg
islauon upon the subject quite as much AS
upon financial or other similar questions.
He thus expressed the conviction doubt
less of a great many of his fellow citizens
whether he did that of his fellow Senator'S
or not a OF course Congress can do only
small part of the work that is needed to
rid the country Of this evil. But il it
would only do its part, it might thereby
add an Irresistible force to the efforts of
its general constituency.

WHAT THE EXODUS MEANS.
Kansas CITY TimeS.3

kansas City Times.]
Recent developments seem to de-
monstrate the correctness of what has
been repeatedly charged by tho Demo-
cratic press, and as often denied by
those in the interest of the Republican
party, to-wit: That the negro exodus
scheme was not born of philanthrophy,
but was instieated by a cold blooded
political calculation for the purpose of
depopulating the Southern States prior
to taking of the next census, without
any relevancy whatever as to whether
the condition of "the man and brother''
IS improved thereby or not. The ORR
ginal idea of those who devised this
diabolical scheme only looked to the
withdrawing of the negroes from the
South, and the instigators of it cared
not ga devil bit'' whether the delud-
ed victims starve in New England or
perish before prairie winds of Kansas.
l say that this was the original plan,
but since the recent elections have
shown that New York and Indiana
are to be the pivotal States in the presi-
Dental contest of 1880, the Radical
managers have determined that all the
eNodized negroes shall be concentrated
in Indiana for the purpose of overcom-
ing the Democratic majority in that
State. They have recently instructed
their emissaries to this end, and in
future, the poor foolish negroes who
were being poured into Kansas, are to
be spewed upon the people of Indiana.

An Eye On a Spree.

An Allegheny physician, who, in his way, is great wag, tells story of a North Side gentleman who for years has suffered from periodical attacks O what in medical parlance is Known as super orbital neuralgia. Quinine proved of no effect, and the sufferer was almost crazed with pain. A kind-hearted old lady living in the neighborhood of the patient informed him that if he would cut the affected nerve with pair of scissors or 6 knife it would give him no further trouble. It so happens that the superorbital nerve is the one which con- trols the action of the eyelid, and when a man is in liquor this nerve becomes paralyzed, and it is this that gives drunken person such Q ccmical express sion about the eyes. The neuralgia pa tient no sooner heard what he supposed the welcome news from the old lady than he repaired to closet, and with jack knife parted in twain the offending nerve, and he now greets his friends with his right eye as sober as 6 Quaker in quarterly meeting and the left in highly intoxicated condition. bUTgh (PG.)

A Curious Plant.

An Appleton (Wis paper reports the discovery in Wisconsin of a curious plant which produces kind of cotton and flax from tho same stalk. IL has already been woven into fabrics, and as any article that will make as good cloth as can be made from this plant will make good paper, it has been called the paper plant. It can be planted in the spring and cut in the fall and winter. It bleaches itself white as it stands, and will yield at least three or four tons to the acre. From 8 single root that was transplanted last spring grew twenty large stalks, with 365 pods containing the cotton, with at least sixty seeds in each. From this root were obtained seven ounces of pure cotton and over a pound of flax. It is O very heavy plant, and grows from six to seven feet high.

Lost His Confirmation.

The death of Archibald Roane in Wash ington recalls an incident of historic in- terest with which his name will always be inseparably connected. MT. Roane belonged to one of the oldest Virginia families. Before the war he was ap- pointed by Caleb Gushing to position in the Department of Justice. When the war began he gave up the position and went South with simple letter of introduction and commendatien in his pocket from MT. Gushing to Jefferson Davis. Among the Confederate archives sold by Colonel Picket to the Govern ment in 1872 for $s75, ,000 was found this letter. No mention was made of it's dis covery until Mir. Cushing's name was sent to the Senate for confirmation as Chief-Justice, when the letter was pro- duced and read ill tho Senate. It de- feated the confirmation. MT. Roane, although entirely blameless, took tho defeat to heart, and since then the mat ter has constantly weighed upon him. Of late years he has practiced law here wi0h indifferent success, although his exceptional attainments were generally recognized. He died of heart disease on tine street, near the effi3e Of the Col iector of Taxes.
