WAsniSdTos, b. g., February IT, 1881.
Doves are not more gentle than
were all the Senators and Represen-
iatives who took part in the electo
ral count on Wednesday, and The
mountains aIe-not more firmly fixed
in their places than will Garfield be
In the Presidency II be lives until the
An Of March. There are two things
Tor the Democrats 10 do Ia the next
four years. The FIRST is TO 80 act as
to support him in whatever he does
Tor the interest Of the country, and
efficiently oppose him in all else, and
the second is to show the people that
a Democratic President after 1884
will be better than any other Most
candid Democrats will agree with me
that the party 50 far as Congress is
concerned, has not during the present
administration, developed what may
be clllel a policy on public affairs,
which gave 1t assurances of success
at the last election. The magnificent
vote gwen Hancock-6, 900 greater
than Garfield was due to party disci
pliue and tradition and TO a candi-
date, rather than to anything Con-
gress had done which appealed to the
favorable judgement Of the people at
urge Excellent and very able Dem.
ocrats have been in Congress all that
time, but they have not apparently
had a policy comprehensive enough
TO enforce the support Of people gen
orally. As a minority in the next
Congress they will doubtless be more
harmonious in their action, and can
certainly, II they try, recover the
commanding position they held
among the people six years ago. II
saying this, / am not attempting to
deprive Democrats in Congress Of
any Of the great credit due them
They have compelled a reducti N oil
expenses. They have made plain to
the people the enormity Of sectional
laws; they have brought the two
Pacific Railroads to a settlement with
the Government, thus gaining for the
people the frat great battle between
corporations and citizens and last
but not least, they Compelled the
Republicans to nominate, last June,
Presidential candidate who upon
many material points has greoter
respect for the Democratic platform
at Cincinnati, than the Republican
platform at Chicago. One object of
this letter is to suggest that the policy
to be laid down by President Garfield
in his inaugural will be such that in
discriminate attacks upon it 10 ad-
vance will only lead TO confusion on
our part ] believe The sectional and
dangerous polite OF the past will
die with the incoming Of Garaelds ad
ministration unless we ourselves pre-
vent the carrying out ofhis intentions
Both Houses have made good
progress in the week last past Parts
Of two days we're wasted on the River
and Harbor bill, and there Is now
certainty of it's passage, but other
bills were more speedily aud kindly
dealt with. Tue appropriation bills
are all in condition for action in one
House or The other, and all well al
vanced In the Senate, on Wednesday,
the Butler pension till was killed.
1t was based on the supposition that
as a class the Union soldiers OF the
late war we're dishonest However
this may be, in point of fact, the
Senate refused to so vote, and the
bill is dead. BENTON.

This insect is called q flea by the
Hollis people. He burrows under
tue skin OF the victim and tortures
him day and night. Artificial heat
makes him more lively, and hence
the family have little or no dre in
the house, preferring to endure the
cold rather than e terrible burning

clothes and burned their beds, they
have consulted medical men ct home
and abroad, have tried internal and
external remedies, and still get nc
relief. They are isolated from The

she Origin OF Music.

A very interesting lecture was re-
Gently delivered before the Anthrop-
illogical Institute, London, by Mr.. J.
f. Rowbotham, on the different
stages in the development Of the art
of music in prehistoric times. Al
though, he said, the varieties Of mu.
sical instruments may be counted by
hundreds, yet they are all deducible
under three distinct types; First,
The drum type. Second, The pipe
type Third, The Tyre type. These
three types are representative Of
three distinct stages of development
thror Oh which prehistoric music had
passed aud in the order Just stated.
The first period in the development
of music was the drum stage, in
which drums and drums alone we're
used by man. The second was the
pipe stsge, in which pipes as we'll as
drums were used. The third was
the Tyre stage, in which stringed in
struments we're added to the stock
These three stages answer respect.
lively to rhythm, melody and harmo-
ny. In the musical history Of man
kind tue Tyre stage Is never found to
pIecede the pipe stage, nor the pipe
stage to precede the drum stage.

GEORGE ELIoT'S FACE.

The face was one of group of four, not
all equally like each other, but all of the
same spiritual family, and with a curious
interdependence of likeness These four
are Dante, Savonarola, Cardinal Newman
and herself We only know one such other
group, and that consisting of three only.
1t is that formed of the traditional head of
Christ (the well-known profile on a coin),
Shakespeare and ST. Ignatius Loyola. In
the group of which George Eliot was one
there is the same straight wall of brow :;
the droop of the powerful nose mobile
lips, touched with strong passion kept
resolutely under control square Jaw
which would make the face stern were it
not counteracted by the sweet smile of lips
and eye. We can hardly hope that poster.
ity will ever know her from ikenesses as
those who had the honor of her acquaint-
ance knew her in life. Only some worlds
artist could have handed her down as she
lived, as Bellini has handed down the Doge
whom we all knew so well on the walls of
the National Gallery. The two or three
portraits that exist, though valuable, give
but very imperfect presentment The
mere shape of the head would be the de-
spair OF any painter. 1t was so grand and
massive that it would scarcely be possible
to represent it without giving the idea of
disproportion to the frame, of which no
one ever thought for moment when they
saw her, although it was surprise, when
she stood up, to see that, after all she was
but little fragile woman who bore this
weight of brow and brain. Harper's Mag.
