My Neighbor and |.

NJ. Quad in brakes Traveller.
| am mad at the man on the south
west corner of the block, and he is mad

price We had tiling just of the same
pattern, laid down by the same man.
For five years we were like brothers.

We went over to his house to play old
sledge, and his family came over to my
house to play croquet. I'd have turn
ed out of bed at midnight of the darkest
night you ever saw and walked twenty
miles through mud thirty feet deep to
bring doctor in the case of sickness
and I'm certain he'd have done fully as
much for me.
In an unfortunate hour my brother
in-law from Chicago paid me visit.
He said the mantel was very hand some
and the CRATE perfect beauty, and
added:
"But YOU want brass fender"
"No!"
Certainly you do 1t will be an
immense improvement"
A day or two after he returned home
he sent me brass fender from Chicago.
He not only sent it as present but
paid the express charges. Some one
told the man on the southwest corner
that | had brass fender.

The Hand of Lincoln.

Look on this cast, and know the hand
That bo-e nation in its hold;
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large of mold
The man who sped the woodman's team,
And deepest sank the plowmans share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fate before him unaware
This was the hand that knew to swing
Thr axe-since thus would Freedom train
Her son-and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge, and toiled amain.
Firm hand, that loftier Office took,
a conscious leaders will obey ed
And, when men sought his word and look,
With steadfast might the gathering swayed.
No courtier's toying with sword,
Nor minstrel's, lay across late;
A chiefs uplifted to the Lord
When all the kings OF earth were mute!
The hand of Anak, sinewed strong
The fingers that on greatness clutoh,
Yet, 10! the marks their lines along
OF one who strove and suffered much.
For here is knotted cord and vein
trace the varying chart of years;
know the troubled heart, the strain,
The weight of Atlas--and the tears.
Again see the patient brow
That palm erewhile was wont 10 press;
And now tits furrowed deep, and now
Made smooth with hope and tenderness.
For something of formless grace
This moulded outline plays about;
A airying flame, beyond our trace,
Breathes like spirit, in and out
The love that casts an aureole
Round one who, longer to endure,
Called mirth to ease his ceaseless dole,
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure.
Lo, as gaze, the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand appears;
type that Nature wills TO plan
But once in all peoples years.
What better than this vcceless cast
To tell of such one as he,
Since through its living semblance passed
The thought that babe a race be free!

Man Always the Same Animal.

George Ticknor Curtis says in the
Manhattan Magazine: The most
splendid specimen of the Caucasian
race that the civilized world can show
to-day has no more organs, bones,
muscles, arteries, veins or nerves than
those which are found in the lowest
savage. He makes IA different Use of
them. and that use has changed their
development, and TO some extent has
modified stature, physical, intellectual
aud moral, and many other attributes;
as climate and habits OF life have modl-
fled complexion, the diseases To which
the human frame is liable, and many
other pecularities. But if we take his
torlc men, we find that in all the phys
ical features of bis animal construction
that constitute him u species he has
been essentially the same animal In
all states Of civilization or barbarlsm.
And unless we boldly assume that the
prehistoric man was an animal born
with a coat of hair all over his body,
and that clothing was resorted to as
the hair in successive generations dis
appeared, we can have no very strong
reason for believing that the human
body has been at any time an essen
italy different structure from what 1T
is now. Even in regard TO longevity
or power of continued life, II we set
aside the exceptional cases Of what is
related of the patriarchs in the biblical
records, we do not find that the aver.
erage duration of human life has been
much greater or much less than three
score and ten or the fourscore years
that are said to have been the divinelv
appointed term As to what may
have been the average duration of life
among prehistoric men, we are alto
gether in the dark

No democratic member of the senate COM
mitteo on privileges and elections took any
part in the investigation of the DanVille riot
except Senator Vance, and the report of the
minority. which was presented to the senate
yesterday, ia presumably his work. He is
gentleman of average humanity and good
sense, and for this reason the task Of setting
up ap excuse for tho Danville rufIlans must
have heOn exceedingly distasteful to his
personal feelings. In order to get as far
away from the facts OF the riot as possible he
devotes tho larger portion Of his report to
criticism Of tho motives of tho sjority Of
tho senate in ordering an investigation and
the manner in which it was conducted by tho
majority of tho committee,
AS is customary in all such documents, the
shortcomings Of tho north are paraded as n
set-off 30 the crimes of tho south, and the
question is asked, why should not congress
investigate the murders, tho riots, tho grave
robbings and the outrages committed upon
negroes in the north2 We say that whenever
such crimes are committed for political
purpose, whether in tho north or south, they
ought to bo Investigated by congress; aud
when by reason OF depraved local senti
mont in any atate tho wrOnR-doors escape
punishment, they ought to be tried in the
United States courts, This cannot bo done
under the existing law, except when crimes
arc committed ia pursuance Of conspiracy
to violate tho United States election laws,
but the law in this respect Is fatally defective
II may be remembered that in 1879 com
mitteo Of the democratic house of representa-
tiVos did undertake to investigate an election
in Philadelphia but the whole proceeding
was regarded as a sort of partisan joke. Tb
intimidation of voters is something tina
is utterly unkpown in the north.

tion, ttntos the cases of the disrranchised cit
izens of the District Of Columbia SO strongly
that some people who do not detect the
irony Of the argument may think that he
favors the restoration of suffrage. 1t might
be well for committee of the district suf-
frage association to wait on him and get his
views and possibly he could be prevailed
upon to introduce bill changing tho form
of government of this "satrapy," whose dis.
abilities he pretends to commisserate. Tho
colored people Of tho district are deprived Of
the right Of suffrage along with tho white
people, but they are not deprived of the
equal protection of the laws as they arc in
Danville and in many other places in the
south.
