II Was Not Maggie.

johnny Malone, a New York boot
black, went down to Castle Garden
with companion to meet his sis
ter, whom he had left in Ireland
four years ago. They arrived just
rs the immigrants were landing, and
Johnny accosted one of them with
the question; "And do you know
Maggie Malone that crossed the ship
with you?" II did know her." was
the reply, "but she died the third day
out, and they buried her at sea. 81
Johnny staggered against a bench, by
means of which he supported himself.
After a moment of silent grief the
young man turned to his companion,
in whose eyes tears were standing, and
said: al don't mind it so much my.
self, Ed, but my mothor-it will break
her heart" With this he burst into
tears. His friend tried to comfort
Johnny. The latter glanced around
the garden in disconsolate manner
and then suddenly sprang up with 0
whoop that would have done justice tc
wild Indian. The youth leaped in
among the immigrants, and in an in
slant was holding in his arms n bright
eyed, pretty little Irish girl, who callet
him "Brothcr Johnny" and wept fol
Joy. "She's here, Ed; it's all right
Come here! yelled the Independent
youth to his obedient patron. 1t was
Mary, not Maggie, Malone, who hat
died on the steamer on the third day
out But somebody's heart will breal
for Mary. ---BoSton 1ruveler.

Progress In Electrical Science.

Perhaps we have arrived at that
stage in our study of electricity where
our instruments are too coarse to en-
able us to extend our Investigations.
Yet how delicate and efficient they are!
Compare the instruments employed by
Franklin, and even by Faraday, with
those which are in constant use to-day
in our physical laboratories, Frank
lin, by the utmost effort of his magma
ton, could not conceive, probably, of a
mirror-galvanometer that can detect
the electrical action of a drop of dis
titled water on two so-callcd chemically
pure platinum plates, or of machine
that can develop from the feeble mag
netism of the earth current sufli-
GENTLY strong to light the city of Phila-
delphia. Let him who wanders among
the historical physical instruments of
many of our college collections stand
before the immense frictional electrical
machine Of Franklin's day, or gaze
upon the rude electrometers and
galvanomcters of that time, and con-
trast Franklin's machine with the small
Toepler- electrical machine which
with tenth of the size gives a spark
ten times as strong as Franklin's; or
the electrometers and galvanometers of
Faraday with the mirror-galvanometers
and electrometers of Sir William
Thompson, Yet, at the same time, let
such an observer think of the possible
ties of the next fifty years, for the adj
vance of science is not in a simple pro-
portion to the time, and the next fifty
years will probably see far greater
advance than the one hundred years
since the date of Franklin's electrical
work has seen. Is not the state of our
imagination like that of the shepherd
boy who lies upon his back, looking up
at the stars of heaven, and trying to
imagine what is beyond the stars? The
only conclusion is that there is some
thing far more than we have ever be-
held.-Prof John Trowbridge, IN Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

A Wife's influence.

Some men would never be able to
pull through at all, if it were not for
the encouragement given them by their
faithful wives A notable instance of
how much man can accomplish, when
he is sustained and cheered up by his
wife, occurred not long since in Ger
man village. He was peasant, the
strongest man physically in the neigh
borhood, and he was very proud of it.
A wealthy neighbor had just received n
load of wood, which was drawn by two
strong horses. Our modern Sampson
boosted that he, by himself, could pull
the load without turning n hair. The
owner of the fuel replied that if the
peasant could draw the load of fuel to
his house he could call it his own.
The peasant accepted the nomina-
ton, harnessed himself to the wagon,
and undertook to trot off with it, but
it was no 90. The wagon displayed
great apathy, and refused to 60, 1t
was so heavily loaded that it refused
to 90 of. He tugged, and pulled, and
grunted, but all in vain. He was
ABOUT TO Withdraw from tne canvass,

She was informed of the nature of the

could save money. She Immediately
seized the whip, and proceeded to en-
courage her dear husband whit. sect
up there, you lazy brute" she re-
marked, fetching him clip that made
him jump, and removed a portion of
his shirt and some cuticle. This
cheered up the husband, who made the
greatest effort of his life, and started
off with the loaded wagon, his devoted
wife walking by his side, and helping
him along by an occasional punch in
the short ribs, or a well DIRECTED kick
when he oa.u1 discouraged.
1t is needless to add, that thanks to
the gentle ministrations of the wife, the
family was provided with cheap fire.

cost of new whip and fifteen cent

ACCORDING TO all accounts from

the nomination for President on the
Democratic ticket. New York has de-
cided to east solid vote for him, no

b bit the nomination, he cannot be ex-

Cleo land, owing to the two-third rule
tina prevails, though he may get ma.

Jefferson Davis recognized Mr.. Bayard
TO be a good enough friend to the
Southern Confederacy to issue a
Colonel's Commission for him in the

The Herald can we'll afford to give
Mr.. Bayard the benefit of every doubt,

The first session Of the XLVIu Con
gress adjourned yesterday. Had II
never met, in all probability bushes.
would have been in better condition
than it now is. There is no doubt thai
the attempt to change the tariff waf
the cause of the great depression in the
manufacturing business of the country
During the session no less than 1874
bills and 381 joint resolutions were in.
troduced, but Of these only 12s bills
and AZ resolutions were passed and re-
ceived the signature Of the President.
The most of the time Of Congress was
devoted to an attempt to revise the
tariff and to place Fitz-John Porter
back in the army. The last hours OF
the session were spent in struggle to
ohliterate what little part of a navy the
government has left. What good
measures were passed by Republican
Senate were either defeated or not
brought up by a Democratic House.
The trade dollar remains unredeemed
and no bill has been passed to facilitate
| the honest counting of the electoral
vote for President and Vice President,
neither has any provision been made
for the Presidential succession. When
Congress meets again next December,
| the election for President will be over,
and if there is a dispute in regard 20
the count of the vote, it will be brought
face to face with the same trouble of
1877. One thing received the prompt
attention of the present House of Repre-
ssrtat ives.
Five Republicans fairly elected by
the vote of the people, Tut by small
m Gori les, were turned out, and five
Democrats who were not elected were
admitted. In one contest, be it said to
the credit of the present Democratic
| House, one Republican contestant for a
seat was admitted, but only because his
majority was some 10000, which the
Democrats had changed TO a Democrat
ic majority. The country has learned
how utterly incompetent Democratic
congress can be.
Even in electioneering to elect a
Democratic President, its sole purpose, il
has been equally unsuccessful and the
gathering at Chicago is but the last
throes of an utterly discomfitted party
and the prelude to Republican Con
gress with John A. Logan, Presiden
of the Senate, and James G.. Blaine, pre-
siding ia the White House.
