these attacks, the great Senator, with

Crime and it's Causes.

he array of crimes published in
the Netos and Courier with the causes
which led to their commission should
convince every one Of the evils of
whiskey and the pistol. We are not
members of the Temperance Society
and do not propose to deliver a lee
ture OH tcetotalism, but we claim that
no man has the right to surrender the
reins of self government by the loss
of leason, either through whiskey,
temper, excitement or any thing else.
In doing so he commits a crime against
society, in laying himself open to the
violation Of every command in the
decalogue.
In the long list OF crimes enumer-
atcd in the Ne,os aiM Courier nearly
every one is the direct result of
drunkenness and the carrying Of
deadly weapons.
1t is high time that public opinion
should be exerted against these evils.
We believe with our distinguished
contemporary that the influence Of the
ladies can accomplish much in this
direction.
Whatever may be the diversity of
opinion on the subject of total ab-
stinence, moderation in all things and
the complete control Of reason is an
imperative duty.

churches are in favor of securing the
services Of Bro. F. p. Robertson

Rotation i'm Office.

ORANGFBuRG, March 18th 1880.
Editor OronyeJwy Times:
noticed an extract from the
Lexington Dispatch copied into one
of our County papers, opposed to
rotltion in Office, and favoring the
continuance Of men in office when
they have filed the same acceptably.
For one. | desire to state, that | am
opposed to any such idea. If we act
upon this plan we will have the worst
of all things, pro fessed politicians.
Men will make the holding Of Office
business. Now | object to the prin.
c:ple on this and on other accounts.
There is no reason that one man
should hold an office for several terms
or for a life time. All men who are
competent are equally entitled TO
them, and it is unfair fora man to
hold an office over his term aud thus
exclude others. They belong to the
public and should be equally disposed
Of II is nonsense to say that when a
man understands his office he should
keep it on TIL 1t account. Any compc
tent man can get into the routine Of
any Office in few days. am op.
posed to second or third terms. Let
the Offices go around and every one
have his share. Rotation is healthier
in politics as well rs in nature. We
prefer the running stream to the stag
nant pool. In Texas they rotate them
out with their little pistols. But there
is no use for this. We can rotate
with our little votes.

Odd Thoughts.

Calumny would soon starve and

gave it lodging.
We all dread a bodily paralysis,
and would make use of every con
t.ivance to avoid it, but none of US
are troubled about paralysis of tho
soul.
Our distinctions do not lie in the
places which we occupy, but in the
grace and dignity with which we fill
them.
Sunday is the golden clasp that
binds the volume of the week.

learn to pity those iu atlliction.

The POpe's PreoccupatiOn.

The Pope is much preoccupied by the
fresh attempt on the life of the Gear, and
by what he considers evident proofs of
the progress of Soclalistic ideas IN Ireland.
Another question also occupies his mind.
The repairs that have been going on for
some time past in the Lateran Basilica
have been much commented on, and now
the Pope has requested commission of
architects of differnt countries to reply to
the three following questions: Is it posi-
BILE to remove the mosaic2 what would be
the expense of removing it? and what
time would it occupy? The architects are
OF opinion that it would be impossible to
remove the mosaic entire, and that if it
be necessary to enlarge the choir by al
te1ing the place of the apse, the safest
way would be to takethe mosaic to pieces
and put it together again in the new
apse. The fact IS, that call Rome" as
the saying goes, has been protesting
these works. They say the choir has
been big enough for the monks ever since
the church existed, and that any altera-
ton will disturb the harmony of the en-
tire edifce; moreover, that there will be
great risk OF destroying the most precious
mosaic altogether. Another difficult
question to decide is that of the Swiss
Guards. The present Pontiff has decd
ed on abolishing that corps as well as the
GARDINER, and to form a fresh corps I'M
der the title of the Papal Guards, but he
has encountered the greatest opposition
the Swiss especially rebel, and insist on
being maintained at their post,-PaZl

The Great Fire in Toxic.

The JaBan G1zette says: Hundreds of
carpenters were at work erecting temper
airy places of shelter, and repairing bridg-
es: men engaged in clearing away the
ashes on the sites where their recent
dwellings had stood; women walking
about listlessly, with children on their
b cks; groups of half a dozen old men
and women and children. gathered round
little wood fires, trying to keep warmth
IN their bodies; streets rendered almost
impossible by immense heaps of ashes,
broken tiles and other debris; terryboats
driving a thriving trade where the bridg-
es had been burned; the remains of large
pottery factories such we're some of the
sights to be seen yesterday. So rapidly
did the flames travel, that it was with
difficulty that the streets were cleared of
people before the houses ignited; and in
so many places was the fire raging, that
they knew not which way to run. AK
ious to have W. airing apparel, the poor
creatures sailed forth from their homes
with bundles on their shoulders to
fly they knew not whittier. The streets
had become blocked with the surging
| masses. Women and children were
trampIed under foot and many who fell
never rose again. Little children were
seen looking for their parents, parents

was rent with the cries of rage, anguish
and despair. Still they chung tenacious

had succeeded in bringing from theil
burning homes, thereby almost complete
Iy blocking up tie narrow gates through
which the masses were slowly threading
their way. At length the police inter
fered and caused numbers to throw thei
bundles into the rivers, or anywhere elst
out Of the way, so as to facilitate the eS
cape OF the people from the frightfu
death which threatened them, and which
was gaining on them fast. Sixty-eight
streets, containing 11,461 houses, were
burned, rendering over 10000 people
homeless. 1t Is estimated that thirty PEG
pie were trampled to death in the streets
and 100 wounded were conveyed to the
hospital.

The Pope on Brains and Legs.

When Plus TX. was Pope, Fanny Elss-
Ter visited Rome, danced and set the pub
lie crazy. In forty eight hours the gild-
ed youth, her admirers, had subscribed
twelve thousand francs and bought a
splendid crown to be presented to her as
a testimonial. When the time came for
presenting the danseuse with it, one of
the subscribers, an excellent young noble,
obtained an audience of the pope and
asked if there would be anything wrong
in the presentation-if the pope had any
objections. 81 have neither objections to
make nor advice to offer,'' said his holi.
ness. "but it does seem to me that you
might have pitched upon more appro-
pirate gift. In my simplicity as priest,
have always thought that crowns were
made for heads and not for legs" The
crown was duly given to the danseuse
who meanwhile had heard of the pope's
saying, and promptly sent the value OF
the gift in money to the parish priest fol-
the poor. Plus k heard of this in his
turn, and when next he met one of the
subscribers to the testimonial said to him
"You were quite right in giving that
woman that crown-she has Just proved
that there is more sense in her legs than
you had in your heads"

gentleman. On the nth, IN his open
borouche, he drove sixty miles from Au-
tun to Avalon. At Auxerre, twenty five
miles farther along, he met Marshal
Ney. Here the marshal abandoned the
Bourbons, and joined the emperor, an
abandonment which subsequently cost
him his lite.
On the nineteenth, the Emperor trav-
eled seventy-tive miles to Fon.ainebleau.
1t was, however, 4 o'clock IN the morn

now within forty miles of the metropolis.
The terrified Bourbons had fled to seek
the protection of the armies of Northern
Europe. They had, however, established
at Melun, half way between Fontaine
bleau and Paris, formidable force of
nearly 100000 troops, here intending to
make their last stand. The royal army
was drawn up in three lines, the intervals
and TANKS being armed with batteries.
to contest the advance of Napolean and
his open barouche. About two o'clock
IN the afternoon the expectant army saw
a carriage, followed by few horsemen,
descending distant hill. The moment
they discerned the cooked hat and gray
surtoutsof the Emperor all was over with
them. Pent-up love ana enthusiasm burst

The Emperor now continued his pro-

by crowd which no man could

the evening when he entered Paris
and drove into the courtyard of the
Tuilleries. The moment the carriage
stopped he was seized Sy those next the

with transports, and imprinted ferven
kisses on his cheeks, his hands, and ever
his dress. Never was such scene wit
