however, with the redoubtable Gener-

MONDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1879.

The Senate having at least implied, ii not
expressed, it's determination to refrain from
general legislation at the present session OF
Congress, and having disposed of the Army
Appropriation bill, there is nothing to hinder
it from taking up at once ADD passing as soon
as practicable tie Legislative, Judicial and
Executive Appropriation bill that was passed
by The House last Saturday, and that was re-
ceived BY it to day. Ofcourso the republicans
will demand that they be allowed to discuss it,
and, by sophistcal arguments, false representa-
lions, and ranc ,rous and incendiary language, to
msks as much party capital out CT it as posi-
BILE. And their demands must DO complied
With. but as not only every Senator but every
private citizen Of the county competent to cast
an INTELLIGENT vote on the bill has long since
mado up bis mind how that vote should be
cast, and IS none or all Of the speeches that
may be made upon it can or will change the
opinion Of single Senator regarding its advis.
itiity, it is hoped the democratic Senators may
oopfue their remarks to the simple correction
Of tho eross,r misstatements their opponents
will be sure to make, and that it would be man
fsstly wtoug to allow to be published broadcast
over tho country without being accompanied
with positive and emphatic denial. These
corrections and denialS, too, should be as few
and So short IS the requirements of the case
admit, so that the debate may be brought to
speedy termination, and the close Of the no.
necessary extra session IF Congress DO accelc'
rated. Long democratic speeches will only at
ford The radicals more material out of which to
turn aDd twist facts aud arguments to their
own advantage and for home consumption. SO
that the less the democrats say the bette. it
will be not only for them but for the whole
country. and they should therefore force vote
as soon as circumstances will permit. They
lave the power now to enact such legislation
as seems fit to item, and will risk nothing. but
rather gain, by the Legitimate use Of that power
upou any and all occasions.

The first is that there will probably be an
appeal against the sentence, the general
opinion being that the pain Of death will
not be inflicted on Cardinali. The sec
ond is that whereas, after the verdict
and the demand of the Public Prosecu-
tor that the penalty of the law should
be enforced against the murderer and
his aecomplice, there was deep and gen.
eral murmer of "E giusto. E quistis-
simo" at is just. 1t is very justp
Yet when the President announced
that this just demand had been agreed to
by the court, the public voice murmured
audibly, "Oh! E troppo severe, Oh! po-

An Eloquent Prayer.
By REV. Joseph COOK

81 REV. JOSEPH COOK.
Almighty God, Thou g CT 4ted
this valley May we not d. secra.e it I!
Thou hast walked in this valley long
before it was known to man. May we
in some degree walk worthily in Thy
glorious footsteps in the presence Of
these stupendous revelations of Thy
power May we be delivered from
contempt TO Thy word and command
meut. May we loatbe our leprosy
and dishonesty, and selfshness, as
Thou dost. Face to face with these
preeipices, may we acquire hearts as
upright and downright as the rocks.
From this bouse, which we dedicate
to Thee, may Thy truth be proclaim
ed as bold as the hills and as tender
as the voice Of these waters. Our
supreme PRAYER is that Thou wilt
give Us similarity of feeling with
Thyseli. What men say here the
world will little note or long remem-
Der but it viii not forget what Thou
hast said here Let the keynote of
cur speech be Thy speech as uttered
all arounl US. May all discussions
of Thy truth here echo God. May
they reflect Thee as these waters re-
feet the precipices Wilt Thou here
inspire poets, and artists, and states
men, and reformers. May the in
huences of this valley be an antidote
TO the spirit of luxury, and be re-
buke to wealth that lives cheaply.
May preachers and teachers find
strength and tenderness here in this
valley. Wilt Thou knit the hearts
OF all nations to each other and to
Thyself Our ancestors brought
from the Holy Land the glad tidings
of the Gospel When the children of
Europe and Lebanon come here, they
may meet Thee, and NAV We meet
them in lhe spirit Of Christian broth
erhood. When the children of the
Himalayss come TO the Sierras may
they find peace and strength When
the children of the Yellow Sea come
hitber may they find instruction,
and be treated with justice on the
shores of the Pacific. The high nom
is above us, the voice of God is
sounding all around us In the pres
ence Of these glorious works Of
Thine, we dedicsse this house TO Thy
service, and we give ourselves TO
up to Thee, an irreyersible, affec-
tionate, total surrender, and beseech
Thee TO Gil this temple, to the latest
generation, with the love of God.
Amen

Poisoned with a Postage stamp

Young ladies vh9 think proper to
correspond with rejected lovers
would perhaps do we'll TO take hint
from the following curious case,
which is, however, authentic:
Mile Maxy, who lives on the farm
of Pentecote, on the Belgian frontier,
was on the point Of being married,
when she received letter from an
old suitor asking ner to reconsider
the matter, amp send him an immedi-
ate reply.
A postage stamp was gallaatly
enclosed to defray The cost of trans
mission. The answer was duly writ.
ten. Mile Maxy applied the stamp
TO her fair lips; bnt hardly had she
done so when she felt sharp pain
in her tongue, and in less than nc
time that interesting member became
horribly elonkated an infamed and
covered with noisome sores. The
disconsolate one, Alfred Camin, by
name, farmer at Piehon, in the
Nord, has been arrested; but be de-
elared he used no noxious dug, bot
simply moistened tie corner OF the
stamp with bis own lips-a delicate
way of stealing kiss.
Such is the state Of the case as il
stands at present, but the tale carries
its own r1aral.
