B. GRArz Brown. of Missouri, in
tho three day discussion in the Un-
tied States Senate in 1866 on Sens
tor Cowan's motion to st-.ike smale"
from the District of Columbia suf-
frage bill, said: Mr.. President, I
say here on the floor Of tho Ameri-
can Senate, stand for universal suf-
frage, and, as a matter of funds
mental principle, do not recognizes
the right of society to limit it on any
ground of race or sex. I will 60
further, and say that recognize the
right Of fanchise as being intrinsi-
cally a natural right. I do not be-
lieve that society is authorized to inn
pose any limitations upon it that do
not spring out of the necessities of
the social state itself. Sir, ! have
been shocked, in the course Of this
debate, to hear Senators declare this
right only conventional and politi-
cal arrangement, a privilege yielded
to you and me and others; not .
right in any sense. only conces-
sion! Mr.. President, I do not hold
my liberties by any such tenure.
On the contrary, I believe that when
ever you establish that doctrine.
whenever you crystalize that idea in
the public mind OF this country.
you ring the death-knell of Ameri-
can liberties"

Profit and loss.

It is amazing to consider the ex-
tent 10 which losses are incurred on
the one hand, and sales and occupa-
ton afforded, on the other hand,
by the inexcusable carelessness and
wastefulness of people who know
better aud ought to do better. The
fastening of u we'll bucket is de-
ranged, or q hoop is loose, but the
thoughtless man or woman never
notices the trouble until tue bucket
is dropped in the we'll or the bottom
is out. Then time is lost, the family
is put to inconvenience, and perhaps
a neighbor gets job of work and
the pay for it. The gate-latch is out
of order; no attention is paid to it,;
tho hogs or COWS get in; the yard is
rooted up; the shrubbery is de-
stroyed; the gardener is employed; /;
and the nurseryman has an order,
A tire is loose on the wheel; the wood
is swiftly wearing away, little care
would set the matter right; no pains
are taken; soon on the road wheel
is crushed, and the wheelwright has
some employment. A shingle is out
of place on the roof; one nail would
mend the trouble; that nail isn't
driven; the rain steals in, and soon
the plasterer is called to use the
trowel and brush. A bride rein is
weak; a bit is worn; nobody thinks
of examining either; horse is drawn
to one side, or horse runs away;
a vehicle is broken; a carriage-maker
or blacksmith is profited, and per-
haps surgeon has profitable pro-
fessional engagement. The water
Of a we'll is impure; those who use
it complain, no proper steps are
taken; the family have serious sick
ness; the druggist sells his medi-
cines, and the doctor gets his fees.
In the same way the cellar is foul;
the mephitic gases escape through
the floors; the blood is poisoned; /;
the fever RACES; some suffer; some
die; the physician has harvest, and
even the undertaken and sexton find
employment. So OF many-very
many other things.

HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
Charles Lambs description of his
sensation on being emancipated from
his daily labor as clerk in the " In.
dia House" hits nail on the head.
He says: "It was like passing from
life into eternity. wandered about,
thinking I was happy, but feeling
that I was not. When all is holiday
there are no holidays. Think of
this, thou man of sudden wealth
and if it shall so chance that thou
hast been tallow chandler, in thy
bill of sale thou shalt reserve to thee
the right of still assisting at the
factory on melting days."

PEcUMAR.-A man who has any
decided characteristics is pretty sure
to be dubbed peculiar" by his
friends; and, strange to say, that
one descriptive word rouses vague
doubts as to the moral worth of the
man to whom it is applied. That,
of course, is absurd. No two persons
are the same throughout, exactly
corresponding in physical, mental
and moral features. Idiosyncrasies
will be detected in one, which are
not noticeable in another. OF the
thousand millions that inhabit this
globe, every one differs from every
other one. Consequently to say of
a person that he is peculiar is a very
commonplace statement, challeng-
ing no controversy. The point is
conceded. How good thing it is
that we are not nodded after the
same pattern! Life would become
exceedingly tame, people mingle
with the counterpart OF themselves
at every turn. This would be intol-
erable. The condition would beget
an intense longing tor the intimate
society of peculiar people. They
would become very winning, if only
they were of pure and noble charac-
ter. Variety of gifts, tastes, employ
ments, differences in nationalities,
education, accomplishments, amuse-
ments, are all charming peculiarities.
The world would be dreary without
them. To call man peculiar, then,
is to make no accusation against him.

GREAT Guns AND THE SPANISH Pam
cEss.-Before the new Spanish priu-

fifteen guns would be fred if it wae

week or more all Madrid was in

of q heavy door being taken as Q sig-,
nal of the expected event. One
morning the guns began booming.
" Twenty-one of them" It was .
prince! The next moment of went
another gun and another. Twenty
one was again counted. Twins.
both boys" Boom-boom-boom-
it continued, and they counted up
twenty-one again. "Tbree boysf'
The population were by this time in
q terrible excitement, which rose
almost to lunacy when the continued
booming Of the guns warned them
that there were four at birth.
Perhaps this was . girl. Fifteen
came in due time, then twenty-one.
Four boys, and even then the guns
did not stop. This was too much,
and the population were on the eve
of revolution against such an ex-
traordinary dynasty, when it was
acertained that the artillery, thIee
miles off, were indulging in their
usual morning practice, and that the
wind and atmosphere were so ex-
ceptionally favorable that they were
heard for the first time that morning.
