An Independent Barber.

Lord Augustus Lotus is now the ruler
of the Queens colonists in New South
Wales. Lord Lotus, whose name
would seem to harmonize with his tenn
per, sent for barber the other day to
come to the Government House in the
morning ard shave his lordship. The
barber came in cab and was detained
in the outer rooms until he sent word
that he could stay no longer. He was
then admitted and performed the ser
vice, for which he charged his lordship
more than dollar. He complained at
swered that a ga hanson cab had
been waiting outside for an hour" So
he was paid, but next day being sent
for said, E'' [ can't 60" The messen-
ger could hardly believe his ears and
repeated his message, to which he got
the same answer. Horror-stricken He
carried back the insolent minion' reply.
One of Lord LOTUS sons was sent to
the saucy varlet to cleave the rascal to
the chin; but he confined his cleaving
TO the chin, when the insolent knave
told him Il won't 60" The young man
said this,was an insult to Her Majesty
and that he must take down the royal
arms from off his door, To which the
basin born barber replied that the Duke
of Edinburgh had given him permission
to put up the arms and that he would
see Lord Lotus in lowlier, not to say
a hotter, place than New South Wales
in January before he would either take
down his arms OF go on his knees at the
bidding of the whole British peerage.-

The Story Of the Great ExOduster.

At last the labors. of the Senate Ex-
odus Committee have been crowned
with success. 1t sought long and faith
fully to discover why the colored en-
igrants from the South suddenly turned
aside from the beaten path which led
towards Kansas and directed their steps
towards Indiana. Senator Voorhees,
felt sure that the new direction which
the exodus had taken was not suggested
and advised by the colored people. He
saw in this movement a deep-laid
scheme to change the political complex
ion of his State and he determined to
expose it. 1t must be admitted that
his efforts at first were not very promis-
ing. Indeed, until the Committee was
about to close its work very little that
was important was discovered. The
Republicans were shrewd, and managed
very skillfully to cover up their tracks.
In an evil moment for them, however,
they called to the witness stand General
Thomas w. Conway. This Conway is
not an unknown individual. His deeds
while resident of this State have
given him reputation that an honest
man would not care to have. In this
exodus business he has been a very
prominent figure. 1t must not be sup
posed, however, that his interest in it
grew out of any desire to assist the
colored people. He was after money,
and, no doubt, his failure to get as much
as he thought he ought to have is the
real reason why he proved to be so
good witness for the Democrats, and
so poor one for the Republicans. In
fact, Conway gave the whole scheme
completely away. He told the Com
mittee how President Hayes and
the late Zach Chandler arranged to
colonize the colored people in Indiana
in sufficient numbers to make it Re
publican State. Conway was the agent
employed to carry out the scheme. He
went to Indiana and fixed up matters

with the leading Republican politicians
putting the scheme in operation, Con-
way stationed his agents along the
route which the colored people took to
kind or another, persuaded the emil
grants to change their destination to
Indiana One of the lies told by these
agents was that the Kansas people were
determined that no more colored peo-
pie should come into. their State, and
that they were keeping them out with
shot-guns. This is how, according to
Conway, the colored people were forced
to go to Indiana. Conway explains his
share in the business by saying That he
thought it was for the good of the
country that the Republican party
should remain in power because that
party was in a higher state of civiliza-
tion than the Democratic. There is no
reason to doubt Conway's story. It is
hardly probable, however, that he
would have told it if he had been paid
to keep silent. 1t seems that he claims
that there are still due him 500 fo1
his services in this exodus business.
The refusal of the Republicans to salts
fy this claim is, perhaps, the reason
why he deserted his friends in then
time of need. 1t is hardly creditable
to the President to be mixed up in such
a disreputable affair. 1t is not consist,
ent with the dignity of the Chief Magis
trate of the country to engage in engi
neering political schemes such as this

country. In despite of these precau-
tions, Napoleon's life was again attempt
ed, by an Italian, in 1868, while in 1866
three other intriguers of Orsini's inter-
esting country-Greco, Trabuco and
mperatore-entered into murderous
plot against his life, which was happily
nipped in the bud by the police. There
is said to have been another and more
mysterious attempt against the En-
peror, of which the public heard moth
ing, except by rumor. A gamekeeper,
of the forest of Comgiegne, shot at His
Majesty while the latter was engaged
in a pleasant battue; but one of the
equerries in attendance on Napoleon
discharged both the barrels of his
breech-loader into the head of the mur-
derer and killed him on the spot. So
the story runs; but whether it be a true
one or not will probably never be known
till some of the secret memoirs of the
imperial era come to hght.--CormhilI

Happy Homes.

Few homes 1 think are what, under
Gods blessing, they should be. 1t re-
quires but little effort to. make home
cheerful and happy. There should be
deep and abiding love between hus-
band and wife, parents and children,
and a tender forbearance toward each
other faults. When these exist they can
not but be Edens of love; but, alas! how
often do we see it otherwise. The hus-
band who has taken solemn vow to
love and cherish, and the wife to love
and honor, are drifting slowly but sure
ly apart. They do not understand each
other, though in name they have been
one for years. They have different con-
ceptions of each others duties and can
not act in concert. Instead of having a
quiet, loving talk, and trying to draw
near together, there are, perhaps, sharp
or cruel words and the breach widens
Unhappiness follows and each lays the
burdens of faults on the others shoul-
ders. Q, erring judges! do ye not know
that "He who knoweth the thoughts
and intents of every heart" will not
thus Judge? ''First cast the beam out
of thine own eye and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull the mote out of thy
brothers eye"
The heart of woman is fragile thing
and few men understand it. 1t lives
and flourishes in the sunlight of love,
but withers like the mimosa at the
touch of an angry frown or cruel
word. ltscannot even thrive in the at
mosphere of Indifference. How many
hearts are now struggling for existence
in this sitting atmosphere. Only few
kind words would admit the sunshine.
An approving look or smile, simple
Thank you" for any service done
would amply repay the toll. sr5
Husband! be ever courteous and re-
spectful to your wife; grant her little
requests, sometimes though at your own
convenience, and your self-sacrifice will
be rewarded. Remember it is your
prerogative to throw around her the
bulwark of your love, and it should be
so deep and strong that no careless OF
cruel missile should ever enter its hal
| lowed precincts; but how often do you
trample upon this right, how often a
harsh or impatient word or tone which
is remembered by you no longer than il
takes you to utter it, is a winged shaft
that strikes and quivers in loving
heart. Husbands, whose wives are MOI
what you think they should be, who ap
pear to be fault finding and capricious
try different plan from that which you
are now pursuing. Give them deeds OF
! kindness and words of love, and see il
your s desert will not soon rejoice anu

POLITICAL POINTS.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
which, it is needless to say, is a Grant
paper, remarks: eff Zach Chandler
were alive now, little Genie Hale
would take the precaution to put iron
plates in his pantaloons before talking
against Grant. The old man wouldn,'t
stand any nonsense
The Republicans are getting no
more harmonious very fast. If only
one-half of what the Sherman papers
say of Blaine, and the Blaine papers say
of Grant, and the Grant papers say of
Blaine and Sherman is at all true, all
those distinguished Republicans should
be candidates forsat least three terms
apiece in the penal institutions of the
country.-N. 7. World.
When a few weeks ago, in some
of the Southern States, Republican
Conventions were marked by brawls
and by other disgraceful proceedings,
the general tone of the press and of the
country was apologetic. But when the
tactics and conduct of the ignorant col
ored men of the South were transferred
to Chicago, and the Cook County Re-
publican Convention was conducted in
a manner that indicated mixture OF
ignorance, boorishness, childish folly
and domineering dogmatism, there was
nothing to relieve the affair and its
proceedings from bald disgrace, or the
participants therein from the charge of
outrageous folly.
Does anybody imagine. that Mr..
Blaine's first Administration would be
any improvement on the second Admin
istration of General Grant? Certainly
not. General Grant as President per-
mitted and encouraged great scandals,
and there is no reason to doubt that he
would permit and encourage them
again. But if he has permitted crimes
and protected criminals, he has not
committed crimes nor is he q criminal.
He is not very sensitive nor very
scrupulous man, perhaps, but he has
given nobody the right to say that he is
not an honest man. Can anybody say
as much of Mr.. Blaine?-N. r World.
The irrepressible Blaine partisans
are pursuing their object with an un-
scrupulous disregard for the august
claims of the ex-Presidential chief COM
petitor and for the peace of the party
They are instigating meetings in all
those districts in Pennsylvania where
their leader possesses some strength, al
which resolutions are passed instruct
ing the delegates to vote for Mr.. Blaine
1t is assumed that these direct instruc
tions from delegates immediate con
stituents will outweigh the prior in.
structions of the State Convention an6
warrant him in disregarding the latter
1t is bold playing; but Mr.. Blaine is s
bold man, and he recognizes that if he
fails to break the solid Grant line o
instructions at Chicago, his cause i
lost.-St. Louis Republican.

The Debate on the Kellogg Case.

The debate on the Kellogg case in the
Senate has thrown additional light on it
and impaired new interest to it. The
question has been regarded as involv-
ing simply Kellogg's right to the seat
which the Senate three years ago ad-
mitted him to; but the speeches of
Senators Vest and Hill bring another
element into the case-the right of the
State of Louisiana to be represented in
the Senate by two Senators fairly chosen
by its Legislature. Mr.. Carpenter and
all the Republican Senators with him
take the ground that the question was
adjudicated and settled three years ago
by admitting Kellogg, and that it can
not be re-opened now, any more than a
decided case in court of law; that if
the Senate may reopen the Kellogg case
it may reopen the question of any Sena-
tors right to his seat. which would
place it in the power of a partisan ma
jority in the Senate to go back and re-
adjudicate the admission of any mem
Der of the opposite side. 'tVested
wrongs are as sacred as vested rights, !"
says Senator Carpenter; the Kellogg
case is settled forever, even though it
was settled wrong. "When a Senator
has been elected he has a personal right
to his seat Can it be claimed that
there is any public interest that over
rides his private right if his private
right is clearly made out? That can
not be maintained for moment. We
are trying here the right of Mr.. Spot
ford and the right Of Mr.. Kellogg to
occupy the seat. and that is right 10
perform its duties and to receive
its emoluments, and is as much
s~bf IN, not -oc M
right OF A r to be Governor of
hold farm, OF piece of land.'' SEN
ator Vests reply to this singular argu-
ment is: According to the position of
the Senator from Wisconsin the State
of Louisiana has nothing to do with it,
| do with it; it is question, simply
whether Mr.. Spofford or Mr.. Kellogg
shall draw the salary for six years as
Senator from Louisiana
The Wisconsin Senator's argument
assumes that, no matter how or by
whom person may be chosen Senator,
no matter how glaringly disqualified he
may be, if he is once admitted to q seat
/ the matter is settled forever and can
never be re-opened. But Senator Hill
shows that this absurd doctrine makes
the Senate alone the supreme and final
Judge of what is State. s'There can
be nothing more dangerous" says he,
ethan to say that the Senate or any
power but the State can determine
what is a Legislature. If the Senate
can go into State and decree that any
mob is its Legislature, what would
become of that State? Mr.. Webster
has well said that the State alone can
decide this question. and when she de-
cides it she decides it for all the world. y
1t is impossible. to deny the force and
virtue of this reasoning; and though
there are several eminent Democrats
in the Senate who are conscientiously
opposed to unseating Kellogg at this
late hour, it would seem that the pre-.
eminent right of Louisiana, as asserted
by Vest and Hill, ought to outweigh the
fraudulent personal claim of the disrep
utable adventurer who pretends to rep
resent her.-St. Louis Republican.

The Republican Grieyance.

The Republican grievance against the
Southerner, as we gather from an eX-
change of that faith, is that he will not
sit still and let the Republicans call him
hard names. eff Republican even
refers to the Southern people of sixteen
or eighteen years ago as rebels in
arms,h says this cheerful commentator
with more force than grammatical
even physiological - accuracy, the
spinal column of these Southern mem.
bers fly up in cat-like curvature"
We will not stop to discuss the improb-
ability of the suggestion that the men,
bers referred to have but one spinal
column to their collective backs OF the
physical impossibility of the 6 cat-like
curvature. ~ If the Southern members
were to do anything like that, even
metaphorically, it would be very bad.
But the trouble seems to be they don't.
The statement is true one SO far as
the reference to "rebels in arms is
concerned. There is scarcely a Repub-
lican in Congress who dares to trust his
standing in the party for more than
forty eight hours at a time without
some such reference. And what vexe5
him is that the Southern spinal column
retains as rule its normal position and
exhibits no Curvature, scat-lke" or
otherwise. In point of fact, the Repub-
hcans have found the Southern spinal
column altogether too free from curva-
ture to suit their fancy, or their hope of
continuance in power.
1t would not be strange if the South
ern members were to take more notice
of the perpetual nagging and name
calling to which they are subjected, by
paltisans, who can in no other way
show themselves useful to their party.
Of course it is undeniable that there
were .srebels in arms sixteen or eigh-
teen years ago; but even of so undenia-
BILE a truth one becomes partially
wearied when it has been iterated and
reiterated for sixteen or eighteen years,
for no other purpose than to stir up
strife and resentment. Undoubtedly
the Southern members have wearied of
it; and it is greatly to their credit that
instead of resenting it. as the Republi-
cans would like to have them, they.
have the wisdom and the self-restraint
to refrain. Thereby they show that
they believe in that reconstruction and
restoration of the Union which the Re-
publican party boasts of as its work,
even if Republican members of Con-
gress do not believe in it.-Detroit Free
Press.
