after two investigations. The debate oD
the resolution, which was finally
amended and sent to the Senate to be
strangled, establishes this knowledge
conclusively. The subject was before
the House at different times for five
months from December, 1867, to May,
1868. Garfield was present, participated
in the proceedings, as has been seen, ,and
voted or lodged, as he thought most ex-
pedient, from the beginning to the end
OF this long but unavailing fight in be-
half of the people.
Yet in presence of these official pro-
ceedings, reported in the Congressional
Globe, he had the audacity to swear be-
fore the Poland committee that he "did
not know the object of the Credit Mo-
bilier was to build the Union Pacific
Railroad" and to declare in his pam
phleL that "the first intimation that l
ever had OF the real nature of the con-
nection between the Credit Mobilier
Company and the Pacific Railroad Com
pany" was received in the winter of
9-'70-more than a year after this
action in Congress-from the Hon, j. 3.
Black.
Let 1t be borne in mind that the move
ment in the House followed closely
upon the great job of Oakes Ames. That
contract, involving forty-seven millions,
was made on Aug. 16, 1867. 1t was
assigned to the seven trustees on Oct.
Is, 1867, for the benefit of the Ring.
The Washburnes and others knew of
the corrupt transaction by which this
great property was to be stolen and
divided. The resolution to restrict the
rates of transportation was offered on
Jan. 20, 1868, soon after the meeting of
Congress.
Put these connecting links and dates
together, and then mark Oake's Ames's
letter to McComb OF Jan. 25, 1868, in
these words:
81 have assigned,as far as have gone,
four from Massachusetts,, one from New
Hampshire, one from Tennessee, one
from Delaware, one Ohio, two Pennsyl-
vania, one Maine, and I have three to
place, which shall put where they will
do most good to u.s."
Again to McComb, Jan. 80, 1868:
"In view of Kings letter and Wash
burne's move here, go for making our
bond dividend in full. We can do it
with perfect safety"
These letters, and these dates, and
votes on the restrictive resolution tell
the story effectively. They reveal the
motives of the Credit Mobilier jobbers,
and make 1t clear that they were bought
like sheep at the shambles. Like Gar
field, most of them .swore they never
knew what the Credit Mobllier was, or
that il had any relation to the Union
Pacihc Company. They were all inno-
cents, who did not know what they
were about when they rushed to Ames
at the opening OF that session and in
sisted upon being let into the Credit
Mobilier. They did not wait for an
attack on their legislative virtue, but
gathered up all their influence and
offered it for shares III the s'good thing"
the dividends on which not only covered
| The whole value OF the stock, but left a
large surplus. Garfield headed this
tribe of corruptionists, as he now heads
| the Repl hlican ticket.

and that another orator could move an
audience by the simple utterance of . not
withstanding. Many a weighty sermon
is banked by Il poor delivery, while one
lighter in substance is admired on ac-
count of its elocutiOn. Many study how
to enter room, but have no knowledge
how to enter a human heart. There
needs to be a training of nurses for sick
souls, as we'll as for sick bodies Paul
knew how to be to the weak us one
weak; to condescend to those of low
estate; to be all things to all men, if he
could thereby save some. Forget not
that your life is your sermon, and see
that it has a good delivery!
All these suggestions as to Christian
courtesy apply to churches as well as in

OF my daughter, kneeling, bending,
Der her folded finger-tips.
" Down to sleep y" To sleep" she murmured
And the curly head dropped low;
' / pray the Lord Il gently added,
Z" You can say it all l know"
" Pray the Lord the words came family,
Fainter still" My soul to keep"
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened,
When l clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered
Mamma, God knows all the rest"
Oh the trusting, sweet contiding
OF the child heart Would that
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,
He who hears my feeblest cry.

Christian Politeness.

CHRISTIAN manners Is comprehensive
term. The word "mannerS in earlier
days included all that pertained to the
life of II people. Hence books Of travel
treat Of g the mGnnerS and customs of
nations In an important sense :" man
nerS make the men,"
Let us study the Christianity Of our
manners, the manners of our Christianity.
l. There is a reciprocal action between
our outward department and the radical
condition of the heart. Too many reis
son that it is of no consequence what the
this is a radical mistake ''TO him who
ordereth his conversation Alright " God
will show His salvation. Religion is
real refinement. 1t is not surface work,
but begins within, with the motives of
the heart. 1t acts outward, and then re-
acts inward, as the root shoots upward
into the branch, and then, by pruning
the branches, the life of the root, in turn,
is improved. AS Demosthenes said of
Oratory, so may we say of Religion
action is of first and last importance.
You form a childs principles in this way,
as the habit of stiffness, by enforcing
quietude of the body for certain time,
or control of speech by stopping the
haSty expression. " Evil cOmmunica-
tions (intercourse) corrupt good man
ners." Chesterfield was not a true model.
Gilt and tinsel, veneer and varnish can
not supply the lack of sterling worth, nor
can dummy, clad in elegant garments,
make man.
=. A great deal of Christian kindness is
pent up by geld stiffness of life, and SO
imperative! Therefore, manners should
be studied. A spring of pure water NAV
be obstructed by leaves and twigs, and SO
is the stream of inward affection clogged
by outward hindrances in it's manifesto
ton.
3. Consderateness is an essential ele-
ment of Christian pOlteness. Be pitiful,
be courteous. 1t is because your neigh
Dor is weaker and ready to halt that you
make straight paths for your feet, lest
the lame be turned out of the way. Your
speech also is, for this reason, with
grace, seasoned with salt.
Again, trivalities are not to be over
looked. How many who can be polite in
parlor are boorsh in their treatment Of
strangers at church; who are supple in
dance, yet cannot bend head or knee in
worship; who can sing in an OPERA but
are silent in an anthem of praise to God;
wha dread soiled feet in their hallway,
but drag into the sanctuary their soiled
and Sordid thoughts, with no mat in the
vestibule of their hearts, There are
those who are all attention when listen
ing to the voice of a fellow, but fear not
to take nap when God speaks who are
not a moment behind hand at the store,
but stroll into church service at their
indolent leisure. Many woman spends
more time in attiring her person to meet
the world, than in dressing the soul to
meet her Redeemer Keep, then, thy
foot when going to Gods house! Put off
thy sandals, for the place is holy ground
Yet, again, ones manners are a source
of Christian influence, and SO of success.

his spectacles was a part of his eloquence,

In Nine. De Remusat's "Memoirs of the
Private Life of Napoleon and Josephine are
some very interesting details of the imperial
household. Napoleon's income was about
81, 900 year, exclusive of what he took
from the secret service and other funds. He
allowed himself $4,000 year for his dress.
1t is we'll known that if an article of clothing
did not suit him exactly, either in make OF
material, it was condemned, and that he was
greatly given to linking or greasing his white
breeches and to burning his boots by using
his boot as poker, especially when he was
angry or excited. He usually rose at 7. Ii
he wakened in the night he frequently bathed,
ate OR worked before going to sleep again.
He suffered from foul stomach, and often
| fancicd that he had been poisoned. 1t took
NJ. De Remusat a long time to teach him to
shave himself; the Chamberlain was moved
to this through Napoleon's visible uneasiness
when in the balDer's hands. If garment
did not please him it was torn off and thrown
on the floor or into the fire. In trimming his
nails, of which he was vain, he used countless
pairs CT scissors, that were smashed off-hand
if they were not sharp. The only perfume
he was partial to was cologne, of which he
| required sixty bottles month. He ate and
drank little. though he was very fond Of
coffee. At dinner he had everything served
at once, and fed at hazard, often taking
cream or dish of sweets before touching the
entrees.

liquors and light wines. In personal appear
anCe he is not remarkable, but merely good
natured looking son of Italy, with broad,
heavy face, a noble development of chest and
shoulders, and large fleshy hands. His
strength was born with him, for he has hal
no athletic training. This strength does not
reside in his hair by any means, but appar-
emily as much in his bones as IN his muscles.
At any rate, he differs from other men chiefly
in his osseous structure. Though not of I'M
usual size, his spinal column is double the
ordinary width, and his other bones and
joints are made on similar large and geEer-
GUS scale. He has been known to lif; a man
weighing 200 pounds with the middle finger
of his right hand.
The thing was done as follows: The man
to be lifted stood with one foot on the floor
and arms outstretched, his hands being light
grasped by two friends, one on each side, to
preserve the balance of the body. "This
slight assistance" we arc assured, 'has no
tendency to raise the body, being merely to
keep him from topping over.' Cardela then
stopped down and placed the third finger of
his right hand under the hollow of mans
foot, on which he was balancing, and with
scarcely any perceptible effort raised him to
the height of four feet and deposited him
standing on tablc near at hand. 1t is said
that two powerful Irishmen, living near Yer
di, in Washoe county, Nevada, waylaid Car
della with intent to thrash him but he seized
one in each hand and beat them together till
life was nearly hammered out of them. He
is, however, of a quiet and peaceable dispose
ton. His strength seems to have been inner
tied, for he states that his father was ever
more powerful than he is himself.

What u Volcano Can do.

Cotapaxl in 173G threw its fiery rockets
5000 feet above its crater, while i'll 1734 the
blazing mass, struggling for an outlet, roared
SO that its awful voice was heard at dis
tance of more than 600 miles. In 1779 the
crater of Tunguragua, one of the great peaks
of the Andes, flung out torrents of mud,
which damned up the rivers, opened new
lakes, and in valleys 900 feet wide made de-
posts 800 feet deep. The stream from Fesu-
vus, which, in 1885, passed through Tore
del Greco, contained 33,OOO,0O0 cubic feet of
solid matter, and in 1893, when Tore del
Greco was destroyed sec, nd time, the mass
of lava amounted to 45,OtO,OOO cubic feet.
In 100 F,na poured forth flood which
severed 81 square miles Of the surface, and
measured nearly 1,O0O,OOO,OOO cubic feet.
On this occasion the sand and scoria formed

two miles in circumference and 1000 feet

A Fighting Tar.

We have recently heard all interesting
anecdote, by which one can deduct d moral
and adorn it into tale, of how second
thought SO often prevents vast complications.
There is a ankec skipper from Maine, well
known as a local trader, Capt. Pitcher He
is. like most Maine men, largt-proportioned
aud powerful. Some years ago he ran the
X, auz from Washington to Boston, but has
been abroad since, trading between this coun-
Try and the Continent. AS the story goes Il
British troop-ship, commanded by All irritable,
mpetuous old duiier of the Queens ''navee,"
was at anchor in foreign port. Capt. Pitch
er's bark was being piloted in, and, through
some mismanasement, foUled the jibboom of
the trOop-ship, doing, however, little or no
damage. The Old officer. i'll fury of rage,
hOwled:
"Come on board, SIR
The Yankee skipper, not exactly knowing
what to do under the circumstances, pulled
in his gig to the ladder of the troop-ship, and
mounted to the deck. He was somewhat
startled when, AS he stood upon ii. the old
officer called:
"Sentry, arrest that man.
/ The skipper was astonished, but quickly
answered: -. am all American citizen. |
am unarmed, but no man shall arrest me-
Arrest him, sentry. Don't you Lear me? ?'
roared the Captain.
The sentry advanced 10 SelLt tne Sklpp"',

made for the oangway, striking down every
man who nterfered, leaptd into his gig and
pulled off to his bark. Straight to the AmeIi-
can Consul he went and put his case before
him. The latter told him he would attend t.
the matter, and the next day the skipper
called. The Consul sat al the center table
to his right was the English office. no Other
