IN a quasi-defense of the Democratic de
feat of the general appropriation bill the
News OF Yesterday said:

IN quasi-defense of the Democratic de-
feat of the general appropriation bill the
News of yesterday said:
while the Democrats in controlling the
majority have more of the responsibility at
tachlng to them, it may be said that it was
because of the unlawful or revolutionary
trouble was ever begun. The majority have
a clear right to pass the police bill or any
other legislation they see fit"
Against this statement we place that of
the Indianapolis Sentinel, the organ of the
Democratic party, and probably better
posted upon party designs and party motives
than the News. The Sentinel of yesterday
said
'In order to bring the Governor to proper
sense of his position, the Democratic major
ity determined to withhold the appropria-
ton bill and throw the responsibility of its
defeat upon him and his advisers"
That is precisely it, without equivocation.
1t was "to bring the Governor to proper
sense of his position" That was the open
and notorious purpose. Does the News up
hold the Democracy in that sort of thing?
Is the Governor to be brought to do what
the legislative majority demand by threat
to block the State government? No one de-
MED the right of the majority to pass the
police bill; or any other legislation. The
best answer to the assertion that anybody
has or did, is the fact that they did pass that
bill, and every other political measure. 1t
was the general interests of the State that
suffered and not presumed party necessity.

A CONVERT of the evangelist Barnes, at Louis
ville has developed into an irresponsible fanat-

other George o. Barnes. Her name is Henri

"Where did you get your inspirationi" was
asked.
"From George o. Barnes. He taught me how

AMONG the countless incidents of the late flood
in the Ohio one deserves to be chronicled. A
resident of Indiana, above Evansville some DIS
lance, lived in a house Immediately on the bank
of the river The overflow caught him unpre-
pared, and rose so rapidly that he was unable to
get out with his family First he placed them on
tables, and fiually when the water drove him
from these perches he broke hole through the
ceiling and put his wife and children in the gar
ret. The tide still rising, he became alarmed lest
his house should be swept away so he knocked
off few boards at each end of the garrett, and
from the holes attempted to signal passing
steamers TO come to the rescue. Still another
day passed, and night found the water nearly
up to the caves. With light to relieve the i'm
penetrable gloom, and with mad river rushing
by every side, his situation was we'll calcu-
lated to inspire and dismay. The
wretched tenants were too frightened to sleep,
and sat through the long hours wondering when
tine end would come. At length. with a
fearful crash, huge tree struck the
drowning was inevitable. The eldest son,
speaking of this supreme moment, said: "when
that struck the house, heard dad do something
he never done afOre in bis life: he got down on
his knees and prayed like the very DEVIL" The
prayer or something else saved- hem, and when
and rescued them One thing is morally certain:
in event of another flood, that family will not be
caught by it.

How n Woman Swears.

There is in the sudden and ener-
getic slamming of the door at the
conclusion of debate forceful
emphasis which punctuates argu-
ment, and clinches as with the
pounding OF the fist the word which
has been spoken. A shrewd writer
calls the slamming of the door in this
style wooden OATH" The defini'
ton is we'll chosen one. The per-
son who thus violently closes the
door is laboring under an accumu-
latlon OF pent up evaporation
which, il she were a man, would flnd
its way out in torrent of harsh ex,
pressions uttered with angry inflec-
lions. A man does not generally
close the door with bang, to indi-
cate that he Is in state of wrath
fulness; neither does a woman
swear.
The condensed volume of eloquent
expression which is packed into the
petulent closing of the door would,
if expanded, make several large
pages of type, most of which would
be interjections and exclamation
points. Wien the door slams re.
lief follows, just as after the explo.
sion Of steam boiler. The pressure
is off. There is an opportunity for a
breathing spell. With the portiere
which is now such a substitute for
the hinged door, and which is made
of dry goods, there is a difficulty.
She who would use it as a means of
vengeance against her fellow being
must tie the end of it into knot for
assault. AS to shutting him out
with it, this is as impossible as to
hold water with an ordinary sieve.
Unjust be admitted that the slam
ming of the door as an act of argu-
ment or expression of disapproval is
not graceful or ladylike. Still there
are occasions when opinions must be
expressed, and even anger and con-
tempt must have there little say.
Sometimes the door slammiug is all
there is of argument or debate. The
object Of contempt or scorn happens
to approach the door with a view
either of entering or passing by. Its
sudden closing in his face Is an in
timation that if he values his peace
of mind he will do well to pass by.
In such a case he is not a wise man
who vengefully kicks the door open.
That only prolongs the argument,
wears out the door, and settles moth
ing. Better be content thankfully
and placidly to remain outside, and
be glad things are not as bad as they
might be.

The City Of London.
Our Young People,

Here are 1000 miles Of street
spread out over an area OF nearly
700 miles ; here there is birth every
five minutes, death every eight
minutes and seven accidents every
day, and here may be found beer
shops and gin palaces that would
stretch over seventy-three miles.
Here 1000 ships and 1900 sailors in
port every day; here are 1900 new
houses built every year, and 23S, O00,.
600 delivered; here are III 900 habit
ual criminals on the police register,
and paupers enough to fill large
city. The food supply for one year
has been whimsically calculated to
require seventy-two miles of oxen,
ten abreast 100 miles of sheep, dit
to seven miles Of calves, ditto; nine
miles of pigs; fifty acres of poultry,
close together; twenty miles Of har' ,
and rabbits, one hundred abreast ; a
pyramid Of loves OF bread, 600 feet
square and thrice the height of st.
Paul's, whose summit is as many
feet above the ground as the year has
days; and 1000 columns OF hogs
heads of beer, each mile high. Here
are over 4,000, 900 Of inhabitants, in
Guiding 100000 foreigners from
every part of the globe. Here there
are more Roman Catholics than
Rome. more Jews than Palestine,
more Irish than Dublin more Scotch
men than Edinburgh, and more
thieves than-Chicago. To which
might be added that London con-
tains a reading room whose rotunda
is rivalled in diameter only by the
Pantheon at Rome, a library and
museum covering several acres Of
ground, and wherein rest the Roset-
ia stone, the Elgin marbles, and
over 100000 volumes, perhaps the
largest collection of books and man
uscripts in the world, and concert
hall which holds nearly 10000 per-
sons.

MY STAR.

But for thy light, my Venus bright,
For me there'd be no day or night;
For tho Fate wills our lives apart
As heaven from earth thy home and
mine,
Thy radient beams which brightly
shine,
Doth cheer and warm thy lovers heart.
No light by day, by night no ray
Drear blackness then would over-lay
The blue of all my troubled sky.
Ny star let this thy glory be-
If truly then adorest me-
Hope, but for thee, for me would die.

old Hickory's Wife.

| when Gen. Jackson was candi
date for the Presidency in 1876, not
only did the party opposed to him
abuse him for his different public
| acts, which, if unconstitutional or
violent, were a legitimate subject
for reprobation, but they DETAINED
the character of his wife. On one
occasion newspaper published in
Nashville was placed upon the Gen
erals table. He glanced over it,and
his eyes fell upon an article in which
the character of Mrs. Jackson was
violently assailed. So soon as he
had read it he sent for his trusty old
servant, Dunwoodie.
"Saddle my horse,' said he to him
in a whisper, "and put my hostlers
on him."
Mrs. Jackson watched him, and
though she heard not word, she
saw mischief in his eyes. The Gen
eral went out after a few moments,
when she took up the paper and I'M
derstood everything. She ran out
to the south gate of the Hermitage,
by which the General would have to
pass. She had not been there more
than few seconds before the Gen,
eral rode up with the countenance
of mailman. She placed herself |
before the horse and cried out:
"Oh, General, don't go to Nash
vile Let that poor editor live"
Let me alone" he replied; show
came you to know what l was going
for z"
She answered: ~ saw it in the
paper after you were out put up
your horse and go back"
He replied fnriously "But will
go-get out OF my way"
Instead of this she grasped his
bride with both hands.
He cried to her: 81 say let go of
my horse. The william that reviles
my wife shall not live |"
She grasped the reins the tighter
and began to expostulate with him, |
saying that she was the one who |
ought to be angry, but that she for
gave her prosecutors from the bot
tom Of her heart, and prayed for
them-that he should forgive if he
hoped to be forgiven. AT last, by
reasoning, her entreaties and her
tears, she so worked upon her hus-
band that he seemed Modified to
certain extent. She wound up by |
saying:
mo, General :; you shall not take
the life Of my reviler-you dare not
do it; for it is written /: Vengeance
is mine, will repay, saith the
Lord"
The iron nerved hero gave way
before the pleading of his wife, and
replied:
Il yield to you, but had it not
been for you and the words Of the
Almighty, the wretch should not
have lived an hour"
