u. S. Senator Houston of Alabama

L. S. Senator Houston of Alabama
died last week, and his successor is to
be L. Pope Walker, man, who after
the southerners fired upon fort Sumter
declared that within thirty days the
confederate flag should be floating
over the dome of the capitol at Wash
ington. AS Mr.. Walker still sticks to
his rebellious ideas we are led to re-
mark that he made slight mistake
in the dates on that occasion, as that
floating idea of his will not be realized
until within thirty days after he gets
his certificate of election, and it will
come to pass then-in his mind.

American grit has often been eXem-
plified on land and sea, at home and
abroad, and, without reference to the
affair of two drunken Indians driving
four teamsters off the Umatilla reser-
walton the other day, national pride
prompts us to point to adispatch from
the City of Mexico, dated December
23d, which states that two young
Americans, George Green of Texas,
and Frank Centre of Boston, were in Il

was attacked by band of thirty rob-
bers. With Winchester rifles these
young men fought the whole band,
killing five, wounding several, and
compelling the Others to retreat. Mr..
Green was slightly wounded.

antidote has long been felt. This is sup

1t is stated that the Mormons will
make an effort to have Utah admitted
into the union as state, with the in
stitution of Mormon bigamy leealiZed,
and that this has been in cOntempla-
ton for some time. Fearing that the
plan might prove a failure they have
been looking toward Mexico, to make
it place of refuge for their bygamous
religion, and it is further said they
have dispatched an agent to Mexico
to get permission to locate there. But
the Mexican government showed itself
more alive to the questions of the day
than it has been given credit for, and
gave an answer that must have been
anything but cheering. The minister
of foreign affairs informed the Nor
mon agent that there was much land
vacant in Northern Mexico, and they
could purchase at moderate prices, but
warned that if they brought polygamy
with them the crime would surely be
punished. Tally one for MeXico-it's

The questions at issue in the Maine
election were finally submitted to the
supreme court of that state, and the
court unanimously decided the sub
mitted questions in opposition to the
position taken by Gov. GarcelOn and
the fusionists. But Notwithstanding
the decisions of the supreme court the
Governor refuses to recall the illegal
and fraudulent election certificates is
sued by him, persisting in cheating
men out of seats in the legislature to
which they were undoubtedly elected.
This opposition of the Governor to the
courts, justice and the facts will injure
only him and the democratic party
Already number of the men whom
the Governor issued illegal certificates
to have refused to participate in the
fraud by declining to accept, and the
prominent democrats in many states
have telegraphed the Governor to ac-

sake Of the party; but instead Of obey
ing the courts he has filed the state
house with armed men, and thus the
matter stands,

MANS AGE.

Few men die Of age, Almost all die
of disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or accidents. The passions
kill men sometimes, even suddenly.
The common expression, chOked with
passion, has little exaggerati0n in it;
for, even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. Strong
bodied men often die young; weak men
live longer than the strong; for the
strong use their strength and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care
of themselves, the former do not. AS it
is with the body, SO it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or, like the candle, to run; the
weak to burn out. The inferior ami
mails which live temperate lives have
generally their prescribed number OF
wears. The horse lives twenty the
OK fifteen or twenty, the lion about
twenty, the dog ten or twelve, the rab-
bit eight. the guinea pig six or seven
wears. These numbers all bear similar
nropor Jon to the time the animal takes
to grow to its full size. Bot man,
of the animals, is one that seldom lives
this average. He ought to live q
hundred years, according to physical
law. tor FIVE times twenty are one hum
dred; but, instead of that, he scarcely
reaches on an average four times his
growing period; the cat six times the
rabbit even eight times the standard
of measurement. The reason is obvious
man is not only the most irregular and
the most incorporate, but the most la
borious and hard worked Of all the ani-
mas. He is also the most irritable Of
all animals; and there is reason To-
believe, though we cannot tell what an
animal secretly feels, that, more than
any other animal. man cherishes wrath
to keep it warm and consumes himself
with the fire OF his own secret re1ec-
tons albany journal.

Ethiopian MinstreIsy.

Ethiopian minstrelsy, as it is COM
monty called. is not nearly so popular
as it was twelve or fifteen years ago,
says q New York paper; the public
nave been somewhat satiated with its
extravagances and sham negroisms. The
kind of minstrelsy we have to-day is
very unlike that of the past, being more
refined and strictly musical than OF
yore. This sort of amusement once
ragged in all the cities and towns Of the
country, and had an extraordinary run
for quarter of century Il is nearly
forty years since the first troupe was
formed here, and it is remarkable that
most of the leading Ministries have, not
withstanding their pecuniary prosperity,
died very poor. The burnt-cork per-
formers have been prone to rapid courses,
and have used up their financial and
physical substance prematurely. Edwin
p. Christy, who was the pioneer, founded
the original Christy ministries at Buffalo
in 1871, and played at Mechanics hall IN
this city for several years to crowded au-

the stones, which is frequently marred
by a somewhat tawny complexion, is

fully mounted by Mr.. Streeter, was de-

to Cape Town in 1876 weighed 773

The Textile Plants Of the world.

Mems first steps in civilization may
be traced almost directly in their efforts
to clothe themselves, and their first
essays in skilled labor are made in the
adaptation of the materials which ma
ture has furnished them to use for dress.
On the banks of the White Nile are
tribes who content themselves with a
simple apron of leaves, or less; and Sir
Samuel Baker noticed that great adj
vance in general civilization had taken
place there when, after having spent
several months among people of that
grade, he came into UnyOro, where the
people wore garments fashioned out of
the bark of q fig tree, which they had to
prepare by soaking and beating with a
maliet. Thrift seemed to follow nat
urally upon the acquisition of the taste
for clothing, for the fig trees have to be
cultivated to secure q sufficient supply.
Accordingly we are told. when a man
takes wife, he plants certain num-
Der of the trees in his garden, as a pro-
vision for the wants of the family he
has in prospect. a grade above the
naked races are the Papuans of New
Guinea, with their loin girdles of grass
or palm leaves. and above these are the
Maoris of New Zealand, with their
clOaks of the leaves of an agaye-like
plant laid upon each other like scales.
The South Sea islanders have in the
paper mulberry plant which serves the
same purpose to them as the fig tree to
the people of UnyoIo, from the bark of
which they prepare the tapa by soaking
and beating. They illustrate another
development of industry in the adorn-
ment of their clothes. for which they
have an endless variety of designs, many
of them of considerable merit. This
stage of civilization is also often marked
by corresponding development of the
potter's art and of skill in ornamenting
vessels. From the method of using the
whole stuff of the bark to the art of sep
arating its fibers and spinning and weav-
ing them into cloth is great step. The
processes of spinning and weaving are as
varied as are the people who carry them
on, and are largely determined by the
nature of the material to which they
have to be applied. ~ opsslar Science
