For sheep In the Shepherds fold
1t was watching for Him his speedy re-

The oil that did make their lamps brightly
burn.
And what Ia the link which lie misses sore
Mid His Church In the present day,
But the living hope that He yet may come
While times sand In our glass doth stay
Longing To come but we cause Him TO stay
II we hasten II not--as though lie did delay.
Beloved, would we to His coming give speed
We "must "l0ok Tor His coming" while
sowing His seed:
We must live as those would, who expected
to-day
lie might really be here--then think what
He'd say,
And what be the bushes Of shame on each
brow,
II he wits pered, beloved, have ! come too

The last annual report Of the estab-
lishment OF Krupp, of Essen, Germany,
gives some interesting facts and figures,
The manufacture of cast steel and re-
fined steel alone employs 29s steam
engines, II large steam hammers, and
500 men. 1t turns out daily 10 miles
of rails, with corresponding amount Of
wheels, springs, axIes, and all the
complet. steel work for the railroad
carriages. This is Krupp's main con-
tribution to the arts Of peace; what he
does for the art Of war is shown by the
fact that he completes 800 large cannon
every month, and since lS47 he has
turned out over 5000 cannon. The
establishment is lighted up every night
with q 900 gas burners; its different
parts are connected with 81 miles Of
railway, employing "a locomotives, and
100 cars, while the various Offices are
connected by A telegraph stations. In
the mineral works and coal mines out
side belonging to the firm, they employ
8, 800 workm-n; for the iorses, 700

lie must have had Blissville in his minds

'What's in a name?" A rose called by any
other name would swell rs sweet, and Bliss
vile stenches would ba as offensive if the
place had been christened Baskerville,
Fever Hollow or Scabtown. Still the
pretty, peaceful. honey ysuckle-suggesting
word ''Blissville" suggests to the mind q
vision of Acadia, and we might expect to
meet Evangelino wandering among its
trees and flowers instead of encountering a
swill milk maid with corduroy counte-
nance and a formidable tongue bent on q
felonious attack on respectable physicians S
hat and gloves. Orwe might picture Bliss
Vile as akin to Auburn Sweet Auburn,
loveliest village Of the plain"-and look
among its picturesque scenery for the
quiet parsonage house and the ''man to all
the country DEAR" little anticipating the
appearance instead of gang of crop-haired,
rufianly rowdies, such as are to be found
in certain locality in our own sweet
Auburn.
Now, we can assure the demonstrative
friends of the Blissville stables, who seem
to be anxious to prove to the world that the
residents Of that charming locality are as
unwholesome and offensive as their own
diseased cows, that the HERALD cannot be
deferred from discovering and exposing
such abuses and nuisances by any threats
uttered against its employees. Our report

legitimate duties, must not be inter-

or unable to protect them they are fully
capable of protecting themselves, and will
at all times be prepared to do so. They are
always ready, in accordance with their in
structions, to look to the police authorities
and those who exercise official police duties,
for the protection to which all peaceable
and orderly citizens are entitled; but if this
legitimate aid fails them or is wilfully with

sire the Blissvillc rowdies to understand this

ably proportionate to their ruffianism, we

session in the summer or autumn. it ia
folly and nonsense to threaten stoppage
of the supplies and a dissolution OF the
government, or at least tho expense of an
extra session. as a means OF forcing this
year the repeal of law which, by its own
terms, cannot again come into play until
Presidential electors and a new Congress
are chosen in $780, There has seldom been
q more unreasoning and mistimed display
of political fanaticism and folly.
The absurdity of this attempt is so mani
fest and so fagrant that we are confident
the cooler and wiser part of the democratic
Senators will not countenance or abet it.
They will not concur in the repeal Of the
federal election law in this irregular and
revolutionary way. and when the Appropri-
alton bill shall have been acted upon by a
conference committee sufficient moral in
fuence will be exerted upon reasonable
democrats in the House to cause them to
recede. We are confident that there will
not be an extra session.

A Legisla tive Trick.

1t is an old trick of our legislators at
about the middle Of o session to introduce
resolutions fixing the day of final adjourn
ment at an early date. IL looks we'll in the
eyes of constituents. Hero is Senator Smith
or Assemblyman Brown, as the case may be,
anxious that the business Of the session
shall be done up promptly md the menu
bers adjourn and go home, saving expense
to the State. What mn honest, strnightfor-
ward, high-toned representative Senator
Smith or Assemblyman Brown must DO !!
But then Senator Smith and Assembly,
man Brown are both very we'll aware
that the resolution of fnal adjourn
ment is mere piece of clap.rap
that 1t does not and cannot expedite the ad-
journment single hour; that such resolu-
tions are always kept flying about in the
two houses until the business of the scs-
sion and the work of the lobby ore COM
pleted, and that then, and not until then,
the hour is fixed at which the hammers Of
the presiding officers shall come down stimuli
taneously on the Senate and Assembly
desks. Mr.. Jacobs was truthful, although
he might have been irroverent, when he pro-
nounced final adjournment resolution in
the Senate yesterday ''pure buncombe."

Charles Peace, who was hanged at Leeds.
England. yesterday for murder committed
some years ago, was one of those characters
who, in spite OF IN absolute moral repul-
siveness. attract such attention to their
careers that they pass easily into
what is loosely termed the romance
OF crime. Here was murderer with a price
on his head coolly taking up his residence
in quiet and respectable suburbs of Lon
don, passing himself off as British house
holder ofeasy means and refined tastes-par-
ticularly addicted to costly violins and at
the same time pursuing career OF burglary
which mingled aud .city and success in
equal proportions. Like all criminals OF
his kind, however, he fell at last into the
tolls. He who had baffi I'd all the detectives
and hoodwinked whole communities was
arrested on one of his robbing expeditions
by an ordinary policeman, though after
a desperate struggle. He was some
time in custody before it was
known who he really was He will
recall to Americans the equally strange
career OF the murderer Rulloff, executed at
Bnghamton in this State some eight
years ago, who pursued burglary as a means
of livelihood, not stopping at murder, but
who devoted his spare time to profound
pathological studies and was deeply versed
in the whole body of modern science.

The Season Of Fasting.

As this is the season of fasting when by
abstinence the Christian seeks to chasten
the body and to draw the mind to the con-
temptation of the vanity of all human in
dulgences, an evening contemporary favors
its religionsly disposed readers with list
of the different kinds of fish now Offering
on the market to enable them to carry out
the rigid instructions Of the Church in
regard to their lenten duties. There are
bluefish, shad from Savannah and North
Carolina, shad roes, red snappers, crisp
little smelts, green smelts, hnd-locked
salmon, salmon trout, blackfsh, the
glorious bass, white perch, yellow perch,
s'cis-cos," brought from the Western waters
in refrigerator cars; cells, herring, halibut,
whitefsh, cod, ''groupers," mackorel and
variety of pan fish, to say nothing of oys-
ters, clans, scallops and crabs The list
shows what ON advantage we enjoy in the
variety and quality Of our fish over any
other country and what q splendid oppor-
tunity the New York markets present for q
pious observance Of the lenten season. As
proof of the religious bent of our people
we are told that the demand is active, es-
pecially for the more choice and delicate
qualities Of fish. When our Saviour was
led into the wilderness to be tempted of
the devil. we are tod .'And when he had
tasted forty days and forty nights he was
afterward an hungered." (St. Matthew, iv..

Responsibility for the Pistsburg Riots.

Responsibility for the Pittsburg Riots.
The press of Pennsylvania is just now en-
gagged in nm animated controversy MS to who
is bound to pay for the great destruction of
property caused by the railroad riots July,
1877. BY the strict letter of the law they
would fall upon the county of Allegheny,
in which Pittsburg is situated, just MS the
great draft riots here had to be compensated
by the city and county of New York. The
people of Pittsburg dispute the justice of
such a rule. They say that tho railroad
riots did not originate in their county; that
they were not planned by people residing
there whom the county authorities could
have controlled, but were the result of n
widespread conspiracy which happened to
be executed in the city ofPittsburg.
1t is not disputed that the sufferers ought
to be compensated, but it is contcndcd that
the losses should be paid out of the Safe
treasury. 1t would bo O heavy and crush
ing burden to the one county which was
the scene Of the riots, but light burden
to the State at large. Had IL been q
mere local disturbance the county
might justly have been held responsible;
but, inasmuch as 1t was o general
conspiracy of raiiroad employees extending
over wide region, and as the destruction
of property did not begin until the State
authorities and State troops had assumed
control, it is maintained, with great ap-
pearance of justice, that the State, and not
the county, should make compensation for
the damages. 'sf "a.
