A NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-During the recess of the
Senate next week Senators Ingalls, and Garland, of
the Subcommittee on Bankruptcy of the Judiciary
Committee, will continue the preparation of the bill
founded on the Lowell bill embodying National
Bankruptlaw On the reassembling of the Senate,
it is quite possible that the Senator'S named may
pair and 60 to Philadelphia, New-York and Boston,
to talk with business men about Nation al Bank
upt law. 1t is noteworthy fact that out of many
hundreds of responses from judges and business men
to the circular issued by the subcommittee inviting
suggestions, the only objection to tho enactment of
a National Bankrupt law comes from certain Ma
tiona Banks in the Southwest from the Board Of
Trade of Louisville and from one or two New
York merchants. President Arthur is to be asked
to mention the subject in hi annual message.

A USELESS PRACTICE DISCONTINUED.
[nr rrLEaRApn no rnE rRInuNE.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 15,-When General HaZen
went into the Signal Office he found it to be prac-
tce of long standing to send signal observers about
from station to station, leaving them only month
at place. The only reason ever made known for
the adoption of this plan a senseless desire to
prevent signal observers from contracting any local
attachments but why local attachments for signal
observers should be considered more Objectionable
than for other classes of Government officers or for
private individuals, could never beearned. The ex-
penses for transportation amounting to $4,000 or
100000 year. were paid by the Quartermaster-
Generals Department, and thus did not add to the
apparent expenses of tho Signal Service. General
Hazen has discontinued this unreasonable practice
and has thus effected O considerable saying. GER

WISE WORDS.

Adversity borrows its sharpest sting
from impatience.
No life can be utterly miserable that
is lightened by the laughter and love
of one little child.
Wrong doing is road that may open
fair, but it leads to trouble and danger.
Well doing, however rough and thorny
at first, surely leads to pleasant places.
An unkind word from one beloved
often draws the blood from many a
heart which would defy the battle-ax
of hatred or the keenest edge of vindic-
tive satire.
He was one of the few great rulers
whose wisdom increased with his
power, and whose spirit grew gentler
and tenderer as his triumphs were
multiplied.
If you hate your enem les, you will
contract such vicious habit Of mind
as by degrees will break out upon those
who are your friends or those who are
indifferent toyou.
In order to, have any success in life,
or any worthy success, you must re-
solve to carrylinto your work fullness
of acknowledgement merely sufficiency,
but more than a sufficiency.
A swimmer becomes strong to stem
the tide only by frequently breasting
the big waves. If you practice always
in shallow water, your heart will assur-
edly fail in the hour of high food.
In peace patriotism really consists
only in this-that every one sweeps be-
fore his own door, minds his own bust
ness, also learns his own lesson, that it
may be we'll with him in his own
house.
The German proverb, eff I rest, I
rust" applies to many things beside the
key. If water rests. it stagnates. If
the tree rests, it dies, for its winter
state is only half-rest. If the eye
rests, it grows dim and blind. If the
lungs rest, we cease to breathe If the
heart rests, we die.

Minute Workmanship.

The Salem Mass museum has in its
possession cherry stone containing one
dozen silver spoons. The stone is of
the ordinary size, the spoons being SO
small that their shape and finish can be
distinguished only by the microscope.
This is the result of immense labor for
no decidedly useful purpose, and there
are numbers of other objects in exist
ence the value of which may be said TO
be quite as Indifferent. Thus, DIR. Oil
YER gives an account of a cherry stone
on which were carved 124 heads so dis
tinctly that the naked eye could distin-
guish those belonging to popes and
kings by their miters and crowns. A
