THE Chicago Times says that one OF MIR.
Conger's most acknowledgement objections
to the bill prohibiting the collection of po-
litical assessments from persons holding
claims against the government was that it
would deprive about q hundred thousand
veteran soldiers who claim arrears of pen
sions of the privilege of contributing to the
success of the party. This would be, he
thought, very sad. The poor fellows would
not even be allowed to stick up bills for
political meetings, and it is to be presumed,
the prlvation would break their hearts.
The introduction of this class Of claimants
into the debate, and the manner of the
Michigan congressman's reference TO them,
suggests the probability that they have
heretofore been subjected to the blackmail
ing operations of the party managers. II
there is any doubt of the the propriety O
passing the pending bill, Mr.. Conger.
speech should remove it. Nothing coult
be more utterly infamous than an attemp
to extort money or labor for political pur
poses from pensioners. That any black
mailing politician would dare to maxi
such an attempt, under any circumstances
could not have been even suspected but fo
Mr.. Congcr's suggestive remark. If any
legislation is necessary to protect pension
claimants from an outrage so atrocious
congress should make haste to supply it,
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-06-21

THE unbiased reader will recognize
much truth IN the following extract Mr..
Conger, the Michigan Thersites, became
enthusiastic in denouncng the bill prohib-
ting the collection of money from the pub.
lie officers for political purposes. THIS
measure Mr.. Conger describes as "infam-
ous," which was evidently mistake. The
practice which the bill proposes to make
unlawful, is undoubtedly infamous. 1t has
been disgrace to the government too long,
and the whole country will applaud the
act which abolishes it. There is no more
justification tor taxing department clerk
to support lot Of political truncheon-
fourishers of the administration party
than there would be for levying upon the
earnings Of u clerk in private employment
for the same purpose. If Mr.. Congcrs
party can not continue in existence without
picking the pockets of government EN-
ployes it may as well die. The opposition
Of Conger and the Republicans in the house
TO the bill which proposes to abolish that
sort o. larceny Is simply disgraceful."

HOROSCOPE.

Essay read by Miss Carrie c. Hawkins. during
the Graduating Exercises of the Cairo High School,
Friday evening, June lS 1873,
BY far the most highly valued science
known to the ancient nations was Astrology,
or system of discovering future events by
studying the positions Of the heavenly
bodies.
1t was received for many centuries as
true and most important branch Of knowl-
edge, though it has now lost all credit
among civilized nations.
Our credulous ancestors saw nothing alb
surd in the claims of Astrology.
Prophetic power was supposed 10 be com
mon.
The people imagined that indications of
coming events were abundant, and it was
presumed that these signs might be fully
understood by those who devoted their
lives to the study.
The general mode of procedure in find
ing the fate Of any man or enterprise, was
70 draw horoscope representing the posi-
tons Of the stars and planets in the whole
heavens, or within one degree above the
eastern horizon, at the time Of the birth of
the individual, or the inception of the IN
dertaking,
Arbitrary Specifications were given to
different heavenly bodies, as they appeared
singly or in conjunction; according to these
the horoscope was interpreted.
Years were required for the mastery Of
the horoscope, and absurd as its fundamental
principles appear, its details were not in
| consistent with each other. and the whole
system has a completeness which appears
very singular in II scheme SO visionary.
All graduates standing on the threshold
Of new scenes, would like in the same
manner, to look into the future and see
what it may have in store for them.
Although modern common sense
forbids us to believe in or seek such knowl
edge from reading the stars, yet hope and a
shrewd reading of the signs Of the times
may take its place.
We have ut last finished our school
course, but after leaving school we by nc
means think our education finished bu
only just begun.
Our course of study has only given us
glimpse Of what remains yet TO be learned
Some of the class expect to 90 on will
their studies in some other school; bu
those OF us who can not do 50, anticipate
great pleasure in continuing the subjects
that we have merely touched upon here
In literature we have only caught glimps
OF what pleasure may be derived from tn
study Of the writers who have so wonder
July eLii,hed our language. In menta
philosophy we wish to investigate NOR

THE TRUE STORY OF ..ROBIy ADAIR."

The hero of "Robin Adair" was well
known in the London fashionable circles
of the last century by the sobriquet of the
Fortunate Irishman;' but his parentage
and the exact place of his birth are un.
known: He was brought up as surgeon,
but ''his detection in an early amour drove
him precipitately from Dublin" to push
his fortunes in England. Scarcely had he
crossed the Channel when the chain of
lucky events that ultimately led him to
fame and fortune commenced. Near Holy
head, perceiving carriage overturned,
he ran to render assistance. The sole oc-
cupant of the vehicle was a 'lady of fash
ion well known in polite circles" who re-
ceived Adair's attentions with thanks,
and, beings lightly hurt, and hearing that
he was surgeon, requested him to travel
with her in her carriage to London. On
their arrival in the Metropolis she pre-
sented him with fee of 100 guineas, and
gave him a general invitation to her house.
In after life Adair used to say it was not
SO much the amount of this fee, but the
time it was given, that was of service to
him, as he was then almost destitute.
But the invitation to her house was still q
greater service, for there he met the per-
son who decided his fate in life. This was
Lady Caroline Keppel, daughter of the
second Earl of Albemarle and of Lady
Anne Lennox, daughter of the first Duke
Of Richmond. Forgetting her high lin
cage. Lady Caroline, at the first sight Of
the Irish surgeon, fell desperately in love
with him, and her emotions were so sud-
den and so violent as to attract the gener-
al attention of the company. Adair, see
ing his advantage, lost no time in pursu-
ing it; while the Albemarle and Richmond
families were dismayed at the prospect of
such terrible mesalliance. Every means
were tried to induce the young lady to
alter her mind, but without effect Adair's
biographer tells us that 'amusements,"
long journey. an advantageous offer, and
other common modes of shaking off what
proper match, We're already tried, but in
evidently impaired, and the family at last
confessed, with good sense that reflects
honor on their understanding as well 40
their hearts, that it was possible to pre-
vent, but never to dissolve, an
attachment; and that marriage was
the honorable, and, indeed, the
only alternative that could secure
her happiness and life. When Lady Car
oline was taken by her friends from Lon
don to Bath, that she might be separated
from her lover. she wrote, it is said, the
song of "Robert Adair'' and set it in .
plaintive Irish tune that she had heard
him sing. Whether written by Lady Car
oline or not, the song is simply expressive
of her feelings at the time, and as it COM
pletely corroborates the circumstances
just related, which were the town talk Of
the period though now little more than
family tradition, there can be no doubt
that they were the origin of the song
