Man n Laughing Animal.

Man is said TO be the only animal
that can cry, and yet he is not really
a crying creature. He is laughing
and smiling creature. The hours
which bring tears do not come very
often. Some tircsidcs see ten OF TWEEN
ty years in which 10 one has cause for
weeping. Many hundreds and thou
sands meet with no sorrow for quar-
ter of century. The days on which
man cries are few compared with all
the days Of his life. Man is an animal
that can cry, Lut'he is most perfectly
n creature that laughs. Not many
days pass that bring no pleasant smiles
to the majority. There is column
of laughter in the daily newspaper
The light dramas of pure and in
genious quality draw large audiences,
while painful tragedy is less popular,
because all mankind would rather
laugh than cry. 1t ought to be an a
pyiori argument in favor Of life'S in
trinsic sweetness and worth that
man comes up into it with his face
beaming with smiles, and this smile
widens out as years pass, and the dear
old father laughs and plays with chill
dren, and one merriment like one cleo
tricity thrills the heart of infant and
of patriarch.

A Water Filter.

Pure water is of great importance
to the human family, and where the
advantages of good springs are not at
hand, and the water is impure, the
following cheap plan of making FL
ter, copied from q communication in
the Canada Farmer, may be of SER
vice.
Rain water is much healthier than
hard water rs a beverage, and the fol-
lowing will be found an easy and
cheap way TO fit il for drinking pur-
poses Have an oak tub made hold
Ing from half TO q barrel, according to
the amount needed in the family; let
il stand on end with faucet near the
bottom-or | prefer hole through
the bottom near the front side, with q
tube in it, which prevents the water
from rotling the outside of the tub
Then put clean pebbles three or four
inches in thickness over the bottom Of
the tub. Now have charcoal pulver-
lied TO the size Of small peas Chat made
from harl maple is the best), and put
in a half bushel or 80 at time pound
it down quite iirnly, and then put in
more and pound again until the tub is
filed TO within eight inches OF the
top; again put on two inches more of
the pebbles, and then put Il piece of
clean white flannel over the whole
top rs q straiLor.
The flannel can be washed OCCASION
ally TO remove lhe impurities collect
cd from the water, and it might be
well TO nut flannel between Tie peb-
bles and the bottom also. When the
charcoal becomes foul it can be re-
ncwcd as before, but will work a
whole season without renewing. Put
on your water freely until ii becomes
clear, when you will be as
well satisfied as you would be If il

times Ms much MS this. A large jar tc
hold the filtered water can be set IN
The ice box il preferred, or an occa'
sional piece OF ice can be put in the
water; but if tho filter is set in the
cellar as il should be, the water will
b. sufficiently cool for health. This
makes good cider filter, also--first

Preservation OF Wood,

The decay Of wood imbedded in the
earth is difficult TO guard against; but
a simple procaution, costing neither
money nor labor, will increase the du-
rability ofposts put in the ground by
fifty per cent. This is by simply
taking care tNat the wood is Inverted,
i. e., placed in the opposite direction
TO that in which it grew. Expert.
ments have proved that oak posts put
in the ground in the same position as
that in which they grew, top upwards,
were rotten in twelve years, while
their ncighborS, cut from the same
tree, and placed top downwards in the
soil, showed no signs Of decay for sew
eral years afterwards. 1t is supposed
that the capillary tubes in the tree are
so adjusted as to oppose the rising OF
moisture when the wood is inverted.
Whatever the cause, the fact is of inn
portance.

THE Hon. Levi P. Morton, in presenting
his credentials as Minister to France to
President Grevy, made few pertinent,
well-considered, well-chosen remarks, call
ing attention to the debt of gratitude which
the United States owes France for services
rendered one hundred years ago, and to the
bonds of sympathy which must needs exist
between two nations whose Governments
are, in the words Of Lincoln, "of the people,
for the people, and by the people," Mr..
Morton referred in fattering terms to the
political and material progress of France un-
der the Republic, and expressed his own
personal feelings of amity and good will.
Geo. Noyes also spoke and conveyed to the
French President the expression of warm
friendship of President Garfield for France,
and his hope for it's success under Repub-
lican Government. President Greyy, reply
ing to Mr.. Morton, said that the forthcom-
ing celebration at Yorktown, in which
France would be represented as she was 100
years ago in the elimination of the success
full struggle for liberty, could not fail to
bring France and the United States into
closer relations, and in replying to Gen.
Noyes he referred feelingly to the Presi-
dents condition, and expressed hope that
he will soon have passed through the terri
BILE ordeal. He then referred to the Govern
ments of France and the United States as
proofs of the success of republican institu-
tions; that the rule of the people by the peo-
pie was no longer an experiment.

Judge Black end the Rebellion.

Much light is thrown by Judge Black up
on the history of the time between the with
drawal of the South Carolina Senators in
December 1860 and the close of the Buchan-
an administration in March 1861. A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press had a
long interview with him the other day. The
more important part of the report is trans
ferred to our columns this morning. The
statements made by Judge Black will be
surprise to all readers, for he was univer-
sally supposed to be the most ultra South
ern sympathizer at Washington in that dark
winter which preceded the outbreak of the
Rebellion. But it appears that he was the
most far-sighted, energetic and useful man
in that cabinet. Had his plans been fol-
lowed it is altogether probable that the in
surrection would have been speedily crushed
and the country saved enormous expendi-
ture in blood and treasure.
Concerning the truth of Judge Blacks
statements there can be no doubt, for they
are fortified by documentary evidence that
cannot be impeached. While they place
than that in which we have been wont to
regard him they only confirm the views
hitherto held of the weakness and vacilla-
ton of Buchanan and his advisers and of
the insulting arrogance of the Southern
leaders. Gen. Scott's deplorable inefficien-
cy, long suspected, is now made evident.
Judge Blacks narrative also clearly shows
what he by no means intends to convey
that the chiefs of the Democratic party
were entirely unequal to the task which
faced them, that they were timid and hesi-
tating when they should have been courage
Gus and quick, that their course came near
breaking up the Union forever, and that in
their hands the life of the country was in
deadly peril. They proved themselves un-
worthy and incapable of discharging the
high duty intrusted to them. This is the
verdict of history, and one of the witnesses
upon whose testimony it is given is that
leading Democrat, Jeremiah Black.

CHICAGO Tribune: Secretary Blaine has
made many friends in his brief term of SER
vice as Secretary of State. He went into
office apparently with resolve to show the
country that he had executive capacity. he
could not have anticipated that few
months would give him so many opportuni-
ties as he has bad to show his wisdom, zeal
and discretion; but he has none the less dis
charged all the obligations imposed upon
him promptly and vigorously. Not only as
Secretary of State. but as the virtual head
of the Government during the illness of the
President and the recess of Congress, he
has had many responsible duties imposed
upon him, and has performed them all in a
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Blaine had, of
course, no thought of his own future ad-
vancement, but it is plain that he was nev-
er SO strong in his hold on the people or
the politicians as he is to-day. His dearest
foe in New York has been overthrown, and, ,
if he should be candidate for Presi-
dent in 1888. with the approval of Gen. Gar
field, it is not likely that he could be pre-
vented from obtaining at least the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Blaine is destined TO cut big
figure yet in American politics if he lives.
The Portland daily press., 1881-08-11

The Toledo Blade is beginning to kick at
the way some words are spelled. 1t asserts
its independence hereafter of u in ''gauge,"
a standard or measure. 1t explains that the
Latin of the word is 'gagga," and the
French ''jauge,' which is pronounced like
hjoge. Worcester recognizes ''gage" as a
proper spelling of the word, saying "gage,
an instrument or apparatus for measuring
the state of a phenomenon, as a wind gage,
the number of feet vessel sinks in the
water, also the position of one ship as re-
CARDS another, as the wind gage, or the lee
gage, any instrument to measure or adjust"
Webster accords the same meanings to
"gage." The Blade then adds:
There is still more powerful reason,-
next to the uselessness of the gu" in the word,
and that is the maddening uncertainty in ev-
cry compositor's mind as to whether the ''u"
should be placed before or after the "a In
setting up the word. This uncertainty takes
its most virulent form in the last hurried min
utes before going to press, and nine printers
out of ten resolve the doubt in favor of an
analogy with "guard," guaranty" ETC., and
put the "u' invariably before the "a," there
by provoking apoplectic fits in the editorial
sanctum, and making the proof-reader's days
full of the devil.

PLANS for removal of the President are
still discussed by those who are nearest
him, but nothing definite has been agreed
upon. The much-talked-of sea trip is most
favored, because it is doubted whether he
could stand the.fatigue of travel by railroad.
He,has- s-expressed his strong preference to
be removed to Mentor as soon as this can be
done with safety.

HARTFORD Post: The Hartford Times
stands as the only paper in the country that
sees in the Virginia debt-paying platform
complete submission to honesty. 1t has a
most wonderful idea of financiering. The
Virginia fellows can pay the whole debt,
which is now practically repudiated because
of the inability of the State to pay, without
increasing the rate of taxation. That ster-
ling Democratic paper, The Charleston
News and Courier, thinks the proposition
''is like agreeing to be honest provided that
1t costs nothing" But The Times is happy
all the same.
