A Congressional Resolve.

A curious resolution has been intro
duced by Mr.. Robinson as follows:
Whereas the warm stream of the At
lantic, before entering the Gulf of Mexico,
strikes against the eastern coast of the
Isthmus of Panama, and would continue
TO the Pacific but for the existence OF
that narrow barrier.
Whereas after leaving the gulf, it
flows across the Atlantic, past the coast
of Great Britain, creating the temperate
climate of that country which otherwise
would have the cold climate ofLabrador.
Whereas il is an admitted scientific fact
that a lde-level canal of sufficient width
across Panama would change the course
of the gulf stream and thereby freeze out
tie English. speaking nation.
Whereas the United States would
thereby lose its chef foreign market
which loss would not de counterbal-
anced by new markets opened by the in
teroceanic canal; therefore

KITTY KrLDEY was i'll at Stony Creek
Valley, Penn, and the country doctors
failed to cure her or to find out what
allied her. John McClain has the repu-
tation in that region of superstition OF
being successful antagonist of Witches.
He examined Kitty as an expert, and
declared that she had been put under a
spell by Mrs. Boyer, an old German
neighbor. He gave the girl some medi-
cine, and she Immediately recovered.
But 1t was not long before she was SIM
ilarly i'll again, and this time McClain
said the effectual way Of relieving her
was to kill Mrs. Boyer, which he under
took TO do by filing bottle with de-
coction of herbs and breaking it with a
hammer. Mrs. Boyer did not die, how
ever, and has had McClain and the Kill
deys prosecuted Tor slsnder.

The WoOtnR OF Royalty

The wooing of the Princess Stephanie
is described by Brussels correspondent
as having been very practical. At an
entertainment at the palace, Rudolph
and the princess found themselves for a
moment alone. The prince, seizing the
opportunity, and preserving the courtly
style, which is nowhere more rigorous
than at Vienna, said: Madame, will
you have me for your husband?" The
reply was simplicity itself. "Yes, Mon
seigneur." "Your highness' answer
makes me feel very happy" rejoined the
prince; and she added. "And | promise
you that will do my duty" This was
all, and they went out together to rejoin
the royal family, when Prince Rudolph
said TO the king: Sire, with your
majesty's permission have asked the
Princess stephanie to accept me as her
husband. l have the pleasure to an
nounce to your majesty that my propo-
sal has been accepted" 81 am happy,
Monseieneur, to receive you as my SON
in-law," answered the king. The princess

found out that they have been eating
oleomargarine for butter, and are angry
about it. Dealers have been selling it
without marking it as the law required.
A Delaware county butter dealer tasted

was "Western creamery" butter, and
said il was better than the article they
made up his way, which is one of the
finest butter regions in the country.

WHITAKER.

When Whitaker, the colored cadet, under
took to provide himself with all ear brand, it
is not likely that he suspected a good sized
flea would yet be lodged in his auricular
appendage, as the result of hat little pro-
ceeding. Neither did he think that the note
Of warning, written to himself, would be iu-
terpreted as a warning for him to vacate his
position at West Point yet this is precisely
what has happened. The court of enquiry
has made its report and Whitaker, by its
finding, stands accused Of having inflicted
upon himself the outrases over which SO
great a hubub. in pulpit and press, has lately
been raised. With this discovery the colored
persons, from the position of prosecuted
martyr to that OF Tho .reacherous lying fraud
who would net scIuple to impugn the honor
of his classmates VIXEN by so doing, lie
thought he saw a chance If escaping the ex-
animation, otherwise inevitable. But We
must not be too severe in our condemnation.
In his southern home Whitaker had wit
messed scores Of o~utrages not a whit more
genuine than his self-inflicted injuries at West
Point, and having noticed that an outpouring
of gushing sympathy for the sufferers 90 was
never lacking OH the part of their northern
friends, it was perfectly natural that he
should think of establishing a little private
outrage mill of his own at West Point. The
idea was ingenious and if he had possessed
sufficient skill to carry it out without detec-
ton, we can readily see what a hero he would
have become. In attempting to do SO he
failed, and this failure consigns him to dis
graceful oblivion. But the West Point cpl
sode is not destitute Of its moral. 1t is not
without its lesson to every candid mind. 1t
strongly suggests to every unprecedented OBJ
server the idea that the colored people of the
South consider outrages as part of their regu-
lar stock in trade, and that the manufacture
of bogus outrages for the sake Of inspiring
genuine sympathy, or providing a fund of
political capital for campaign purposes has
come 10 be regarded as a legitimate instru-
mentality to be employed for the lettering OF
their condition.

THE POLITICAL Horoscope,

Charles No-dhofi, in his Washington cor
~respondence of the New York Herald, repre-
sents that among the Democrats of Washing
ton there has been progressing a series of
consultations witt Democrats from all sec
tons, and from their conferences the various
conclusions may be drawn: "First, the west
ern and southern men agree that the candi-
date ought to be All eastern man. Second,
they favor either Governor Seymour, if he
will accept ; or Senator Bayard, for whom it
is understood that Massachusetts, will ask.
Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, is regarded
by a good many western and southern men
as the next man to Bayard, if the latter
should not carry. Third, 1t is taken for
granted that Mr.. Tilden will not be a candi-
date. Fourth, A military candidate finds
little favor. Fifth, An eastern mar for the
head OF the ticket supposes a western man
for the second place, and there is a very gen.
eraf feeling that Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois,
would be the best man for this place. He has
been \ consistent aud unflinching hard-mon-
ey Democrat. He served with homo in the
army, and he is very popular in his State, and
Illinois is one of those States which, if the
ex-PresideDt is nominated, the Democrats
will hope to carry. Finally, the Democrats
are not quarreling among themselves, and
they see clearly that to succeed they must
nominate a ticket which will secure at once
and without argument the confidence of the
best sentiment in the country. What we
need 10 to nominate o ticket which shall de-
scrye the support of those Republicans who
do not want to v1te for the ex-President,
said . western Democrat to your correspond
ent to-day, and most of our people are agreed
upon this.n

CONCERNING DUTY. TOWARDS
NEWSPAPERS.

The office of supplying a community via
the article of news is surely not Of such ex-
treme importance, as compared with others
whose duty it is to meet any Of the manifold
wants of civilized life that all exception to the
maxim of buying the best article at the lowest
possible price is to be made in its favor. And
yet it is undeniable that an exception is made
to its advantage. In the matter Of making a
purchase of any other kind whatever, the Sc
verely scientific laws of trade are allowed full
play it is only when 1t comes to buying a
newspaper that something approaching senti-
ment the belief that it is a mans duty to
support his town or county paper, is permitted
to cut any figure in the transaction. But
whence the duty? No one would imagine it
to be his duty to buy a pound OF butter in his
own village if = better article at lower price
were to be had in the next hamlet. No one
would dream of being in honor bound to feed
his family on ~unwholesome -four merely be-

Editor Butte MINER.
My attention has been called to all able

tied "School Discipline" Your treatment If
the subject, in my humble opinion, is clear.
logical and unahswerable, and your conclu-
sions just and incontrovertible. They will
certainly be endorsed by those who have en-
tertained a healthy interest in education and
who are thoroughly posted IN the advance

cause It was raised IN MS W county, while
just across the line good wholesome flour was
to be had in abundance. Yet, what stronger
claim on your gratitude, or your duty, has the
man who sells you news than is possessed by
him who furnishes you with butter; or what
difference is there between supplying your
table with unwholesome -four, and furnishing
the growing members of your family with
dangerously unwholesome mental food in the
form of a newspaper from whose every page
a low moral tone, a deficient sense of honor
are reflected? And yet the most common
response made the canvasser of a journal of
influence and character is, 81 like your paper.
l greatly prefer it to the one l am taking, but
it is our county paper, and it is my duty to
support it," Now; no such duty exists. The
belief that the welfare of a district depends
in any appreciable extent upon its newspa-
per, and hence that it is a matter of self-in-
terest for those living in that district to sup
port their paper is an illusion. The idea that
the community is prosperous because its
newspapers are able and influential is TO take
cause for effect and effect for cause. 1t is the
newspaper that is able and influential because
the prosperity of the community has provided
an inviting field for the employment of the
talents which impart those characteristics to
the press, and this field when attractive is
never lacking for an occupant. Even were it
otherwise, it must be remembered that there
are papers whose influence cannot be consid-
cred as other than negative. If there are
journals which, when sent abroad, cannot fail
to cause the stranger to form a favorable opin-
ion of the people to meet whose tastes they
are written, there are on the other hand mis-
cradle rags, utterly destitute Of either charac-
ter or ability-so-called newspapers, which,
instead of representing" are a disgrace to
the community supporting them; papers
the self-respecting reading public
should consider it their duty to discourage and
put out of existence as quickly as possible,
than support.
But the %clearest idea of "duty'' in the prem
is that it is each mans duty to himself or
to his family to provide the very best newspa-
per TO be had, measuring its merit by the ma
ture of its contents, and by the influence it
exer,s on its readers. Newspapers are our
most intimate companions. We have no
hours of privacy IN which we are "not at
home to their visits. There is no member
of the family who has not ''come out" so far
as newspaper society is concerned. They are
taken into the household and given a hear
ing in our most quiet hours. There they ex-
ert their full influence to its utmost limit
they have their say to the very last word with
check or embarrassment from the usages
or co~nventionalities of society which might
operate to hinder a tree expression of opin-
ion were it to come from a speaker instead
of a writer. How carefully then should we
scan the newspaper before welcoming it to
our ireside, to see that its pages reflect truth
and purify of thought-that its advertising
columns are not filled with denominations.
