The art of praising caused the
art OF speaking.
Nature has written q letter of
credit on some mems faces which
is honored whenever presented.
Never hold any one by the but
ton or the hand in order to be
heard out; for II people are un.
willing to hear you, you had bet
ter hold your tongue than hold
them. 4s
A certain amount of opposition
Is q great help to a man. Kites
rise against, and not with, the
wind. No man ever worked his
passage anywhere in a dead calm.
Let no man wax pale, therefore,
because of opposition.
Infinite toll would not enable
you to sweep away q mist, but by
ascending q little you may often
look over 1t altogether. So 1t is
with our moral Improvement.
We wrestIe fiercely with q vicious
habit. which could have no hold
upon US If we assembled into a
higher atmosphere.

]. 4 very singular affair.

MALONE has slipped through the fin
gers of the democrats. The republicans
labored with him and by promises of pat
ronage got his promise to act with them
in the organization Of q senate. For ten
days the republicans have STAYED off or
ganization, waiting to have vacancies
filed and Malone fixed. On Monday
morning republicans were iubilant, Ma
hone had been purchased and sat among
those who must dispise him as man
while using him as a tool Conkling
spoke confidently Of the ability of the
republicans to organize the senate. Hill
replied asking how that could be done,
the democrats having s. majority. He
wanted to know on what democrats vote
they relied. The little traitor, the Ben
e lict Arnold Of the democratic party ad-
mitted that he was the man, and then he
proceeded in the most approved style Of
stalwart republican oratory to denounce
democrats, tissue ballots. Ben Hill took
the little traitor in hand and filllped him
all around the chamber. He rather liked
the notoriety he had earned. He did
not seem to appreciate that his new as
sociates viii not trust him beyond their
reach. He voted with the republicans
on test question and then settled down
in his i"faDy.

The difference between the position of
Malone and Davis. is that the former
was elected by democrats and did not
receive a single republican vote. The
latter was elected by democrats and in
dependent republicans. Davis came to
the Senate when the democrats were in
the minority and when the administration
was in the hands Of the republicans so
that he had nothing TO gain by joining
them. He had supported Horace Greeley
and S. J. Tilden for the presidency and
was in full accord with the democratic
party. He co-operated with the DEM
ocrats from principle. Malone supported
Hancock and came to the Senate when
his vote would give either party the as
cenda1t in that body. He did not receive
single republican vote, but sold out to
that party, they being able to reward him
for his perjury. Unlike Davis he is not
an independent, as he is an attendant of
the republican caucus. He is traitor,
not convert.

THE republican press has frequently
taken occasion to berate the democrats
foradopting flibustering tactics to prevent
the passage Of Objectionable laws. What
defense can they make to the course pur-
sued by republican senators during the
extra session Of the Senate? There were
vacancies in the republican ranks oc-
casioned by the appointment of senator's
to Cabinet positions. The republicans
fhbustered to prevent the organization
of the Senate until these vacancies were
filed and the newly elected members in
their seats. Thus about two weeks were
FILTERED away for the sake of q little
party triumph and then Malone was
bought to aid in the scheme. "Where
are your gibes now?"

THE ASSASSINATION.

After many Intellectual attempts upon
the life of the Gar, the nihilists finally
succeeded in efiiecting their purpose. On
Sunday afternoon Alexander LII of Rus
STA was killed by the explosion Of nitro
giycerine shellt thrown at his carriage while
ridingwith the Grand Duke Michael. The
ezplosyte J matt9E vas pHtf Up a. gtafs Pn4t
part Of the carriage, but the Gar remain
ed uninjured. He descended from the
carriage, and the would be-assassin drew
a revolver and attempted to discharge it
at the Emperor. His arm was struck
; up, and he failed to accomplish his pur-
pose. An accomplish then threw shell
which exploded near the Emperor, tear
ing eff one OF his legs and shatteripg the
other. One of his eyes was also gouged
out. He died a short while after. Mes
Sages of coincidence were sent from all
parts of the world. Both assassins were
arrested.
The Gar has long lived in fear of as
sassination and with good reason, as his
enemies were tireless in the endeavor to
compass his death. No sooner had one
plot failed than another was almost ready
for execution. No precautions seemed
sufficient to guard the life Of the Gar.
He was not safe in his own palace. The
government was powerless to protect
man of despotic power. The persistent
attempts TO take his life encouraged the
idea Of extirpating royalty in other coun-
tries through assassination, and many
crowned heads will tremble because of
the success of the Russian nihilists.
Alexander was the most liberal of the
Russian monarchs. He succeeded to the
throne during the great war with Eng
land, France, Italy and Turkey, in March
1852, and evinced considerable ability in
It's management. He instituted many re-
forms, the greatest being the gradual
abolition of serfdom decreed in 1851.
Latterly he became partially estranged
from his family on account of his NOR
ganatie marriage with the Princess Dial
gorouki. His second son succeeds him,
who will probably share the fate Of his
father.

BRooKFIELD, little village twelve
Of tragedy, which with the causes that
led to it, read like a romance. \ man
named Schorweraan lived happily with
his wife until man named Daubner APP
peared upon the scene. He became in
futuated with Mrs. Schowerman and Wis
tied her regularly, making no secret of
his attachment and not caring for the
disapprovai Of the wronged husband.
Schcverman borrowed a revolver once,
to shoot Daubner but returned it, claim
ing he didn't have the heart to do the
deed. The people of the village became
Disguised with the inaction of Slovenian
in the premises and Daubner grew more
shameless in his attentions, which be-
came more open and more defiant of
public opinion. Daubner even had the
effrontery to threaten to sue Schowerman
for threats and demanded an explanation.
The two met and had talk for some
hours and parted apparently On friendly
terms. But Daubner continued his visits
and strangest of all they were approved
by his own wife. Forbearance ceased to
be a virtue and Thursday Schowerlnan put
little lead into the body of the seducer
of his wife. Mrs. Sehowerman, at once
went to the wounded man and sits stead
lily with his hand in hers, while Mrs
Daubner waits upon her wounded hus-
band. A very singular affair.
