The Gain of Sunday Rest.

OF course do not mean that q man
will not produce more in a week by work.
ing seven days than by working sixldays.
But very much doubt whether, at the
end of the year, he will generally pro-
duce more by working seven days in q
week than by working six days in week.
The natural difference between Cam
pania and Spitzbergen is trihing when
compared with the difference between q
country inhabited by men full of bodily
and mental vigor and country inhab-
tied by men sunk in bodily and mental
decrepitude. Therefore it is that we are
not .,oorer, but richer. because we have
through many ages rested from our
labors one day in seven. The day is not
lost. While industry Is suspended, while
the plow lies in the ilrrow, while the
exchange is silent. while no smoke as
cends from the factory, process is going
on quite as important to the wealth OF
the nation as is the work which is per
formed ON more busy days. Man-the
machine of machines-the machine COM
pared with which all the contrivances Of
the Watts and Arkwrights are worthless
is repairing and winding mp. SO that he
returns TO his labors on Monday with
clearer intellect and ivelier spirits, with
renewed corporal vigor.-LOrd Macdu.

BAD Company.

There were half dozen ladies and
gentlemen in al Austin street Car, when
the driver stopped the car and said:
"There is somebody in this car trying
to beat me out of fare"
The passengers looked at each other
and all said they had put in their fare.
cit don't make any difference. There
are only six fares in the box and seven
people in the car"
Then gentleman got up, and with
sigh put in the missing fare, remarking:
II put in one before, but, as l was
once in the Legislature, everybody will
say it can't be anybody else but me, so
III have to stand Texas .Siftings.

What Frightens People.
What we don't know is what frio

What we don't know Is what frightens
us. Soldiers can brave the known ter.

and Of collisions with icebergs. But
soldiers who hsve dared the dangers Of
hundred battlefelds have been terri
fed at the apprehension Of o ghost and

In battle and in storm without finching,

Mysteries was believed to be brought
upon the subjects by those who had
made this alliance with the powers Of
darkness, it sent terror to the heart
which made these good and Just-mean-

explained the phenomena, where they
have not been proved as fraud, and with
the knowledge of natural laws and the
objects of nature the terror has been
very greatly diminished. knowledge Is
the antidote to fear, but the sad fact re-
mains that only part of the people in
the most enlightened community have
knowledge even of the rudimentary

the ice. I've often hoisted bucket up
in the ventilating shaft to try to cool it,
and then drank the water lukewarm.
When mans sick, or dies from over
heating or cramps or fever, it's all the
worse for the others. They have to do
his work and theirs, and may be work six
hours on a stretch. Often man is so
tired that he can't eat or sleep when he
comes out. What wages do we get for
this work? We've been getting $50
month for al-passers and $40 for fire.
men, and we struck lately for beggarly
advance of $5. A man has to go in as
coal-passer shoveling from the shoots
first, and learn the tireman's trade, for
fireman has to learn about the steam and
managing the fires.

"You must know that the pitching of

the engineer will throw them some over

idea is to get the most work they can

and the work has to be done. There's
no such thing as shirking. Sometimes
they get reasonably good food on board

men used to have rations of rum to keep
them up to their work, but they gave
that up about six years ago, and now
man can't get any kind of stimulant.
Men die like sheep, and no notice is
taken of them, except to make the 9TH

He looked the jury square in the face and
stated with unusual emphasis, that he be-
lieved in God, and expected to answer for
his statements, and then declared that Neal
and Craft were the persons, without posi-
bility of mistake, who committed the mur-

House found the crowbar and axe aud rec

short.
Three other witnesses were examined

that he exhibited uneasiness before any ar,

PAEK ERsRrRG, January l7.-Last nights
session of our city council was mole than
usually interesting, the occasion being the
installation OF the Stalwart council which
so recently got away with the combined
forces of the Democrats, Greenbackers and
Temperance brethren. The retiring Dem.
ocratic council, through the efficient City
Clerk, Frank Toothaker, had prepared
and read an exhibit OF the receipts
and expenditures OF the city revenues
during the past year, with a detailed state
ment OF the amount expended in improy-
ing the streets, alleys, &c, the whole
making a very satisfactory showing.
The members constituting the new Conn
Gil were sworn, and after some remarks by
the mayor-elect, Judge Loomis, +. B.
Toothaker was reelected clerk, and Coun.
Gil then proceeded TO elect the various city
officials for the ensuing year. The follow
ing were the successful candidates: Asses

Amies; chief Of fire department, W. &.
Leonard; chief engineer, G. j. Bryan; fire
warden. Alex. Williams; wharf master,

Our colored citizens were not forgotten
on this occasion, rs the Market Master and
Fire Warden are colored men. The election

THE REASON OF IT.
Why Hunt II 10 be notwithstanding
to be Secretary Of the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, January lS.-The prompt
ness which Senator Davis, of Illinois, has
displayed in pressing the bill to retire
Justice Hunt, of the Supreme Court, has
revived talk about ex-senator COnkling
coming into the Cabinet. 1t is said Folger
is to succeed Hunt on the Supreme bench,
and that Conkling will be made Secretary
OF the Treasury.
Mr.. Davis is warm and intimate friend
of Conkling, and believes he would make 4
brilliant Cabinet officer. FOlgcr's expert
ence in the Treasury has not been such as
to make him desire to fill the position for
full term. He has been annoyed much
by applicants for appointments, and has
otherwise found the position trying one.
He came just when public attention was
directed TO the Irregularities that had eX-
listed in the disbursement of the contingent
fund. and he has endeavUred TO watch all
the details of the department, with view
Of detecting and preventing wrong doing,
even ON a small scale. He is said 10 be
very willing to return 10 judicial life.
The bill to retire Hunt will no doubt
pass without delay.

ests of the great Mississippi Valley, q
special committee provided for in the
amendment.
Mr.. Turner also advocated the amend
ment, and suggested the committee should
have jurisdiction of the Ohio and other
nayigable tributaries of the Mississippi.
Mr. Kenna asked Mr.. Turner whether he
had ever voted for an appropriation for any
river.
Mr.. Turner retorted-The gentleman
(Kenna) who as a member of the Commit
tee on Commerce, seemed TO regard no in
terest except that of West Virginia, and
that he (Kenna) voted for an appropriation
for streams that should
Have Been Maeadamixed.
[Laughter.l
Mr.. Dawes offered an amendment specify
ing the Ohio and Missouri rivers.
Mr.. Horr thought the proposition to al
low the Committee on the improvement
Of the Mississippi River to report an APP
preparation for that purpose, would be
fraught with danger to the improv enent
of the navigation of that river. The next
thing would be to appoint Committee on
the Improvement OF the Atlantic Coast,
aud the next one on the improvement of
the Kiskiminithas. The House would go
Oh portioning out the work until the COM
'merce of the country would be destroyed.
He was opposed to the action of the COM
mittee. He criticised 0rths proposition,
claiming that under it the committee
membership would be selected according to
the length of service. That gentleman had
been here for thirteen years, and had never
discovered the tyranny Of one man power
until week aga. Mas there anything IN
that tyranny that man could not see un-
Ill he got blackeye Laughter.
Over One-fifth of the time Of the present
session had passed and gone, and the ques-
tiOn occurred to him,
What Have We Done?
There were many important questions
pressing on Congress for attention, and yet
the House had frittered away one
fifth of the entire time of the ses-
sion. lie said the Speaker had made
no mistake, and not TO waste time in de-
batting who should sit on this or that COM
mittee. The House ought to drop that
question and take up something that
would be OF practical use to the nation.
[Applause.l
Mr.. Willis moved an amendment to Mr..
Pages amendment so as to give the COM
mittee on the improvement Of the Missis-
sippi river jurisdiction also over the princi-
Val tributaries. The matter then went
over ioF a day, Robson stating that he
would call the previous question tomor-
row.
