Mr.. Beecher says that one-half
the human family are eaters, not pro-
ducers. Speaking of immigration
he says that there is no fear so long
as our institutions have the assimi-
lating power, and when the lion eats
the kid he does not turn into
kid but the latter turns into lion.-
When the children of immigrants
get through the public school they
are all Americans. The greatest
needed revival is not of religion, of
Temperance, or of commerce, but of
common schools.

A LITTLE LATIN.

An effort is being made to induce
doctors to stop writing their pre-
scriptions in Latin and use United
States language. So many molten
sive sick people have been killed by
druggists putting mp lobelia and
other dangerous drugs in place of
some mild and gentle purgative,
which the system requires, on a
Latin prescription ofan NJ. d. ply
sician. that a society at the East
threatens to take the law into their
own hands and put a stop to it.
As usual thing, the physician
who graduates with high honor at
some high-honored morgue, does
not know any more about the COM
mon English BRANCHES than is good
for him, and his handwriting is
the merest goose tracks-a sort of
delerium tremens on paper. Now,
when you come to put such writing
az that into Latin, to be read by a
sleepy prescription clerk who has
been routed out Of bed at midnight
in his shirt sleeves, there can
only be one result. The patient will
be worse next day. A sleepy drug
clerk is only human; and when he
strikes one ofthose ingredients in the
prescription where it tells him to
put three saw-teeth of podophyllum,
and the word looks more like penny
royal than it does like podophyllun,
and more like peppermint than eth
er one of them, he is liable to trust
a good deal to luck and put in that
which is the least injurious. No
drug clerk cares to lose good po-
sition by not being able to read a
stroke Of lightning; and the result
is he puts up something, and then
charges enough more to make up
for what he doesn't know. There
are forty-eight millions ofpeople in
this country, whose lives, to great
er or less extent, rest on prescrip-
ton clerks; and the eastern society
who have flung their banner to the
breeze and sounded the death of the
dead languages, will be embalmed
in the hearts of grateful posterity.
They are doing a noble work. Dead
languages are we'll enough for
dead people; but they are eminently
out of place in this age of animated
things. OF course the looping off
ofthe excrescence will bring doctors
down to a leyel with ordinary NOR
tails, and they will have to take their
chances.-Peck's San.

DEACON SINNERS plan has eff
fectually disposed of tramps on his
farm. in Orange county. He in
vites the unsuspeeting tramp into
the parlor, takes down the Bible
and says:-''The dread of life is
free in this house," then after a
chapter, he makes a long prayer
that the tramp may become man
and earn bread for the body by the
sweat of his brow: and when the
deacon says amen, the tramp is half
mile down the road.

A FRENCH peasant saw in the riv-
er a floating egg. He thought he
could catch it in his hand, but, in
the attempt, fell in the water, and
the egg escaped him." The water
was deep and he could not swim.
In terror. he believed that God was
thus furnishing his greediness. To
propitiate his fate he vowed that if
he escaped he would never eat an
other egg. Instantly a branch of
a tree presented itself to him, by
means Of which he gained the bank
of the Stream. Shaking himself, he
said: Il suppose, o Lord, that you
OF course understood me to say raw
egg"

WASHINGTON.

Secretary Sherman and the Funding Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-The Senate finance
committee heard Secretary Sherman on the
funding bill to-day. He took the position that
it should be amended so as to make the fund
ing bonds redeemable after five years and paw
able in twenty from date with interest at 81,
the rate to be fixed at the discretion of the
Secretary. The Treasury funding certificate
proposed by the bill, which he thoufht should
be described as Treasury notes" he thought
could be doated at per cent. without change
in the House provision for their redemption at
any time after one year from the respective
dates of issue.
In response to an inquiry whether or not in
his opinion, the bonds could be foated at 8
per cent. If the term be fixed at thirty years
replied that he was not prepared to answer the
question.
The committee will hear the comptroller of
the currency tomorrow.
The Inter-Oceanic Canal.
The House committee on foreign affairs had
hearing on the inter-oceanie canal to day. S.
L. Phelps, representative of the Nicaragua

subjects of a foreign power gaining foot
hold on the American continent which would
give to their government a right OF interfering
for the protection of their rights. The United
States government should control any canal
across the Isthmus. The hearing will be
closed Thursday when Mr.. Thompson finishes
his argument.

HOUSE..
Specimen of Democratic Fra,,d

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. A-Startling de-
velopments were made to-day at the examina-
ton in the contest of Paul Strobach against II.
A. Herbert for seat as Representative in the
Forty-seventh Congress from the Second dis
trict of Alabama. 1t was proved that Demo-
cratic manager of election confessed to having
thrown out 800 Strobach votes and substituted
800 Herbert votes, causing thus difference of
800 votes at one poll. This was done while the
Democratic deputy sheriff went into the rooms
alter the polls closed and started fuss with
the Republican United States supervisor,
thereby causing the latter to turn his back for
few minutes on the ballots spread ont on the
table and distracting his attention from them.
BY such means as these it is that all the Re-
publican candidates in Alabama were declared
defeated, and all the candidates of the SO
called respectable party-the Democratic can
didates-were declared elected.

profits of the Western Union Telegraph at the
expense of the American Union or the public,
