Beggars that Ride.

In San Antonio, Texas, the streets
r Darrow, winding. unpaved, and lined
with low, thick-walled stone houses,
having earthen floors and fat roofs.
On some of the roofs bright flowers and
feathery grasses wave. Along the mar
rev streets ride beggars mounted on
shaggy little donkeys, and looking all
around for somebody to give them aims
These fellows are great brawny Next
cans, with fiery black eyes which have
. guilty look in them and are verr quick
to catch sight of money. II you toss q
coin to one of these beggars-nothing
less than . five-cent piece will do ~ he
is sure to catch it in his hat, and from
there it will slipped into some poke. Of
his ragged clothes. Then he will grin,
touch his replaced hat, and ride stsidly
on. His home, which probably is in
the outskirts of the town, is called .
"jacal," and is built with upright posts
stray boards, bits of cloth, and all sorts
of materials, and thatched with straw.
II contains but little furniture, yet
shelters heaps Of sweet-potatoes, garlic,
and red-peppers.-St- NfcholosJo June.

A Novel Use for Murderers.

l. has been often said that hanging is
the worst use to which a man al be
put. A peculiar social economist in
Boston has advanced a novel PROPOSE

can 5e msde, he thinks, TO serve human
ity far better than by execution. He

because it is a waste and destruction OF
valuable forces and energies which
should be conserved. Abiding TO the
fact that q finger entirely severed from
the hand, accidentally or otherwise,
may grow again il replaced in season,
held in position, and skillfully treated,
to the practice in surgery Of skin-graft-
ing, and to TRANSMISSION of blood from
the strong to the weak, argues that q
healthy eye could, with the observation
of proper conditions, be engrafted on
the muscles and nerves that hsd been
cut from q diseased or imperfect eye.
Instead of sending a murderer TO the
gallows, he would turn him over To
physicians and surgeons, if he were
sound and vigorous, TO be useful for the
corporal benefit Of suffering humanity.
He would give the culprit's eyes. fin
gers, toes, skin, teeth, scalp, whatever
might be made available 10 those who
needed them, removing them under the
influence Of an sthetics. II the murder

During this weary while her mother

her loving heart to do the one work for
an unemployed woman just then. But
it was some little time before she gath
cred courage to carry out her wish to
become . hospital nurse. The alarm

easily enough. And she found az i'm

she proved-and of comfort to many
suffering souls.
The Providence which direc's small

Leonard's white face one day, - he lay
stretched on his cot of pain, and she re-
allied, with . sudden tumultuous rush

felt as though this satisfaction more

that she was very unhappy, and would
hail any change with Joy. Mrs. Eaton's

evidently q talent for letter-writing, that
is, COR the writing of letters considered

"She always had that whining way

Not long afterward arrived the news
that lilly had gone to her mother in

the Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed its legality. We also differ
widely with him in regard to the national
banks, which he totally misrepresents.
They are not the money-making institu-
tons which he represents them to be.
The Comptroller of the Currency in his
last report, says that 'during the most
prosperous years of the system, the ratio
of annual earnings to the combined CAPT
tai and surplus of the banks was not
greatly in excess of the usual legal rates
of interest in the States where they were
located, while during the last two years
this ratio has been less than six
per cent. on the combined cap
ital and surplus" But though
grossly wrong in regard to nation
al banks, his declarations on the fiat money
question and resumption are right. When
the greenback members of the legislature
look at the resolutions which they adopted
al Lewiston in June last, and compare
them with Governor Garcelon's address,
they will be as puzzled as hens that have
been cheated into raising ducklings and
goslings instead of theirown proper chicks
They thought they were sitting on green
back eggs at Lewiston, but behold thebrood

at the head of it.
On the subject of protection the Govern
oris also widely at variance with his green
back friends, and in that he is wrong

previous question will be made tomorrow,

morning. None Of the parties in interest
manifest much confidence in their own sue

LoNGsTREET's NOMINATION.
The nomination of ex-Confederate Gen.
Longstreet as Postmaster at Gainesville Ga,
is offensive to the Georgia delegation in Con-
gress, but very gratifying to the stalwart wing
of the republican party. Longstreet was vir-
ye,rs since. on account of his republicanism
an | he went to reside on plantation he owns
near Gainei vile.
Those CIPHER DISPATCHES.
The Potter Committe will meet Thursday.
when it is minated the democratic members
may have something to say about the cipher
dispatches, as the opinion seems to be gain
ing ground among democrats that it will not
do to allow this session of Congress to adj
journ without some notice of the ciphers.
Mr.. Potter has just returned from New Or
leans where he went to obtain possession OF
Mrs. jerks package of letters, and the trick
played upon him by that vivacious lady has
made him and the committee appear in very
ridiculous light. What they will do abou,
the cipher dispatches remains to be seen.
THE ARMY REORGANIZATION.
There is so little time remaining before the
close of the session, and the opposition Il
Burnsdes bill recognizing the army has
been so earnest and persistent, that some
members of the Commission are considering
the expediency of temporarily abandoning al
but the first forty-three sections of the bill
These sections, which provide for the reor

the staff corps, can be added to the Militar,

sition be made to them. 1t is believed tn
