The DEGENERATION OF PoLITrCs.
the good old days, when the Demo
cratic party and the Wing party dlv'-
ded the land between them, such things
as have happened in Washington and
Albany since the 4th of March last
would have been simply impossible.
Why haze they come to pass in this
year Of grace 1881? Because our pol
ilics have been permitted to degener-
ate since the civil war into organized
conspiraces to obtain official employ
ment aud to plumber the taxpayers in
order to maintain an army of political
tramps who shall stand behind aud
around the boss from whom they re
ceive their orders. Until the Wing
party died did any New Yorker ever
witness the spectacle OF a candidate
for Office of Senator from New York
in the Congress of the United States
presenting himself in Albany and ask
ing Assemblymen for their votes!
Would such speech as that made by
Vice President Arthur at the Dorsey
dinner, would public dinner to suct
man have been possible five and
twenty years ago? The origin of al
this political degradation is plain. The
Republican party has held the execu.
tive power for twenty years. Up te
the 4th Of March 1877, that power
was conferred by an honest majority
of electoral votes. Since 1877 tha
power has been frandulently obtained
or corrup,ly bought. What Judge
Black told the Electoral Commission
would come to pass if that commits
sion falsi6ed the returns has come ant
is coming to pass. The mills of Goo
have begun to grind at last. The,
will grind exceeding small.-N. Y

New Eng land experienced a strange
phenomenon. A dispatch from Bos
ten says: From morning to sunset
the atmosphere was in a curious con-
dition, exciting much comment, and in
instances creating alarm. While the
air, as viewed from a window or look
ing into the sky, appeared to be free
from fog and mist, the sun was totally
obscured, the atmosphere pervadcd
with yeIlowish light, which lent a
strange appearance to every object.
On the Common the grass presented
an unnatural appearance. its livid
green looking as though the result of
coat of paint. The gas jets, which
ordinarily show a yellowish light

similar to electric lights. In all direc-
tons distances appeared to be short.
ened. Through the windows near and
! far could be seen tie starike points
of white light, resembling little cleo,
trio lamps, but being in reality gas
jets. The phenomenon was noticea-
bic in New Hampshire, and as far
north as Portland. G. +. Emerson,
Professor Of Natural Philosophy and
Astronomy at Dartmouth College, says
it must have been something in the
atmosphere which absorbed the short
er and longest wave length, leaving
only those which give the color Of
yellow and green. He thinks it ma,
be owing 10 pollen from fir and pine
trees, together with the smoke from
the forest fires IN Canada.

to be investigated. The question was
taken up and discussed until it became
a subject of comment about the whole
house, The innocent mother continued
to exhibit the slip of paper and one
day brought it out in the presence OF a
young and quite pretty maiden who had
only lately been on the sick list
"A rebate for Kisses" she exclaimed,
when the matter was explained to her,
"why ism that nice;n but then, and
she paused, while an frown appeared on
her face and an angry flush crept over
her cheek. Some emotion was strug-
Cling for mastery. The flush deepened
and she shook her head deantly as
she completed the sentence-"But the
mean thing never cut down my bill q
cent, and | don't think it is fair"
The outburst Of laughter that fol-
lowed brought the fair maiden TO a re-
alizaton that she had said something
dreadful. She had betrayed herself.
In the language Of the world she had
"given herself dead away" and at the
same time let out tie secret. The care

but for that unfortunate slip the mys.
terry would probably never have been

Brain DeVelopment,

1t is not surprising to find the UNI
learned in things medical unable TO un-
derstand that brain development, which
of course is generally matter OF
heredity, determines character. Such,
however, is, and must needs be, the
fact. Whether the mind is something
outside matter which acts through or by
the brain, as a musician may use n
musical instrument or whether, rs
some think, what we call mind is simp-
" brain function, it should be manifest
ed on consideration that upon the
quality and conformation of mans
brain must depend'hi mental capacity;
and, consequently, also his character
istcs both intellectual and moral. We
are not disposed to urge speciatles OF
development as excuses for conduct
because, given an average degree OF in
telligence and fairly strong will power,
the individual is clearly responsible for
his actions; but it must not be forgot
ten that his instincts of right or wrong,
and the faculty of judgment with which
he distinguishes between good and evil.
will be acute or dull in proportion as
his brain is developed.
The mind is in q large sense the
character of man, and as directly de-
pendent on the physical growth OF his
brain as the speed of a race-horse is de-
pendent on its muscular development.
This is not sufficiently recognized, and
because it is not we every now and then
find silly remarks in print such as the
following: 1.-The convolutions of the
brain may have something to do with
the difference between mediocrlty and
genius, but at present they are not
recognized in the law courts, and it is
difficult to see how they can be > with
such weak and wide moral reflections
as that "it would be scarcely satisfac-
tory to a pickpocket TO have his brains
sic examined, in order to prove to
those he left behind that he really could
not help being thief p And yet the
facts are sufficiently plain and simple,
so plain and simple that any one should
be able to understand them,--Loacet.

Mnrrie Mitnhall,s Dream.

Maggie Mitchell recently related the
following dream to newspaper inter-
viewer:
ii dreamed on that memorable night
that saw John Wilkes Booth leap from
the private box of the president at
Ford's theatre to the stage. He was
dressed as usual, with inimitable taste
and neatness. lie wore short Spanish
cloak, lined with crimson satin. As he
leaped onto the stage from the box,
hurriedly and excitedly, his cloak flew
open and disclosed little white poodle
dog under his arm. He ran past me
and made his exit by the identical door
through which he did actually escape
after committing the horrible deed.
II was telling this dream next morn
ing to my sister Mary and party Of
select friends while eating our break
fasts. was engaged in telling my
dream, and before getting through with
tho remarkable details the head waiter
came up to us with scared look on his
face.
I'VE were interrupted by his asking
us IL we had heard the news. He then
said that President Lincoln has been
shot the night before; and in less than
ten minutes we were all electrified with
the astounding news that the assassin
was John Wilkes Booth, about whom
we were talking when the head waiter
first interrupted our chat at the table.
1t made lasting impression on me. I
have often told it to my friends, and il
is strange that il has never got into tho
papers, because every one who heard
me telling my dream, before we had
heard the news from Washington, con-
sidered IL remarkable and wondrous
from its astounding condolences.

Remember in giving names that the
children when grown up may be in sit
uatons where they will have frequently
to sign their initials, and do not give
names that might in this situation pro-
woke contempuous remark. For in
stance, David Oliver Thompson, the
initials make dog Clara Ann
Thompson, the initials spell "cat,n
If the child is a boy, it may be
equally uncomfortable for him to have
long string of names. Suppose that
in adult life he becomes q merchant or
banker, with plenty of business to do,
then he will not be pleased to write
George Henry Talbot Robinson two
or three hundred times day,
1t is not a bad plan TO give girls only
one baptismal name, SO that if they
marry they can retain their maiden
surname: as Elizabeth Barrett Brown
inc, Harriet Beecher Stowe. This is
the practice among the society of
Friends, and is worthy of more general
adoption, for we should then know at
once on seeing the name OF lady
whether she was once married, and If
so, what her family name was.
Some parents very wisely refuse for
their children all names susceptible of
the nicl;ing process, thinking with DR..
Dove that ''it is not good thing to he
Tom'd or Bob'd, Jack'd or Sind,
Sand, Wild or Bill'd, Joe'd or Jerry'd
as you 20 through the world"

would be greatly improved by judi
cious adaption Of the Christian sur
name. When the surname is mono
syllable the Christian name should be
long. Nothing can reconcile the ear to
such curt names as Mark Fox, Luke
Harte, Ann Scott; but Gilbert Fox,
Alexander Harte and Cecilia Scott are
far from despicable.
With such a variety of excellent
Christian names, it is astonishing that
so few should be in ordinary use. The
dictionaries contain lists of about $50
male and $50 female names, but out OF
these not more than twenty or thirty
for each sex can be called at all COM
mon.
Yet our language has many beautiful
names both male and female worthy of
popularity they have not yet attained.
Among the males for instance; Alban,
Ambrose, Bernard, Clement Christie
pher, Gilbert, Godfrey, Harold,
Michael, Marmaduke, Oliver, Paul,
Ralph, Rupert, Roger, Reinald, Roland,
Sylvester, Theobald Urban, Valentine,
Vincent, Gabriel, Tristram, Norman,
Percival, Nigel, Lionel, Nicholas, Eu-
STAGE. Colin, Sebastian, BASIL Martin,
Claude, Justus, etc. all of which have
the attributes of euphony, good etymol-
ogy and interesting associations.
And among female names why have
we not more girls called by the noble
or graceful appellatious of Agatha,
Beatrice, Berths,. Cecilia, Evelyn,
Ethel, Gertrude, Isabel Leonora,
Florence, Mildred, Millicent, Philippa,
Pauline, Hilda, Clarice, Arabel, Irene,
Muriel, Estcle, Eugenia, Euphemia,
Cbristabel, Theresa, Marcia, Antonio,
Claudia, Rosabel, Rosamond, etc.'

Durability of Ensilage.

From an article recently published
by DR.. Werner, q leading authority on
the subject of folders, it appears that
ensiage has been kept for a term of six
years in state of excellent preserva-
tion, at the farm of the agricultural
school at Alte0burg in Hungary.
Cattle ate the product readily, in spite of
its age. II has been prepared for fod-
der-corn according TO the common
Hungarian method, that is TO say, the
corn was allowed TO wilt somewhat,
after moving, and was then trodden
firmly into great trenches six or seven
feet by twelve, or more, wide, and OF
any desired length. When the trench
has been filed to the brim, the fodder
is piled up, above ground, browning
like roof, often 70 height OF nine OF
ten feet. The heap is then covered
with earth, and when the fermentation
has gone far enough so that the mass
sinks upon itself, pains are then taken
to fill up or beat together, as often rs
may be necessary. any cracks that may
form in the covering OF earth. Werner
remarks that the upper layers Of this
ensilage had the color and the agree
able odor of brown hay (Braunhue),
while the lower layers exhibited tho
characters of sour fodder more and
more clearly the deeper they were.
This capital observation on the dura-
bility OF cnsilagc is.all the more inter-
esting for us Americans since the Hun
garian climate, with its hot summers, Is
| In some respects not unlike our own. -

THE DAILY BULLETIN.
A Trying Age.

Young people who are passing from
childhood into young man or woman
hood grow with surprising rapidly, and
the amount of awkwardness, of conceit
of shiftessness and responsibility they
develop is astonishing to those who do
not know its cause. They can play,
they can eat, they can sleep, and do
nothing with wonderful ease and facili-
ty; and they know-what do they not
know they know everything They
know more at this period than at any
previous or subsequent period in their
lives They are ready to take charge
of themselves. Of their parents, of socie-
ty, while at the same time they cannot
be depended on forthe most trivial thing.
This Is not true of all children at this
age, but it applies to the majority, and
there are few parents of grown children
who will not recognize the truth OF the
picture. 1t is necessary at this inter-
mediate stage of existence TO exercise
the greatest forbearance toward these
troublesome young creatures. They
should be given only light and easy
tasks, and their shortcomings ignored
or forborne with patience and hope.
The age we speak of is the sentimental
age. Girls at this period love sensation
al novels, they are "crazy" about sweet,
hearts, and inclined to be lackadaisical
generally. They have headaches, list
lessness, dreaminess. Boys e"crazy"
to 90 to sea or to 90 West and shoot
buffaloes; they affect tall hat and carry
a cane. They are especially arrogant
and supercilious toward all small boys,
and think it manly to smoke cigar
In few years all this fermentation
ceases, and the young woman becomes
rational, sensible, willing to be advis-
cd and willing to apply herself to work
and to be responsible for its well doing;
the young man does what he ought to
without being told, and takes intelli-
gent views of life and duty. He settles
down to hard work cheerfully and
patiently. The sophomore ageis pass
ed, and hope takes the place OF patience
in the minds Of parents and teacher
In tiding youth over this dangerous
transitional period of their lives, parents
teachers and guardians must carefully
combined firmness with tenderness and
above all have plenty of hope and pa
thence.
