Politics and a certain kind ofpro-
fessed Christianity go together
naturally and make az exceedingly
obnoxious combination. The la
test development III which the real
man has got the better of the out
ward seeming saint has come out
in Washington. A Republican, and
an alleged Christian, was q Treas
ury clerk, and he was discharged
by his immediate superior. Where
upon the pastor of the ostensible
church, himself also an alleged
Christian, refused to pray for the
President. The incident is inter
esting as illustrative of the pure
impudence of these politico-Christ
ians. The creature who presides
over this Washington church evil
IDENTIFY thinks hat the Almighty
will forget to bless the President if
he does not call his attention to the
head of the government. Political
pastors will learn better in the next
world.

the New Hampshire Democratic

"that national taxes should Beae-

not for private needs; that is to
pay the legitimate expenses of the

government are to be raised, and
that it is a part of Democratic pol

larger profits to certain favored
manufacturers"

There is some talk that there will
be a union of the various Demo-
cratic factions in New York city
at an early day, and the Star says
that it is listenedto with great sat
isfaction by the Democrats of the
country generally, and by nobody
with more satisfaction than the
great body of the Democrats of that
city. The impression in other states
is that all Democrats in New York
are adherents of rammany or the
County Democracy with the excep-
ton of a handful belonging to II
wing Hall. The fact is, on the con-
trary, that the great majority OF
Democratic voters belong to Meth
er organization, and would be de-
lighted to see an end to the strug-
giles between the two fractions OF
working politicians who constitute
them.

DRESS PLAINLY ON SUNDAY.-It is taste.
1t would lessen the burden of many who
find it hard to maintain their places in So
ciety.
1t would lessen the temptation to dress
beyond the income.
If everyone dressed plainly but neatly for
church services, persons in moderate cir
cumstances and the poor would be more
likely to attend.
Moderation in dress would improve the
manners of the congregation by preventing
the wanderings of the eyes and thoughts.
It would lessen on the part of the rich the
temptations of vanity.
It would lessen on the part of the poor
the temptations of envy, uncharitableness
and discomfort.

MIR. RIDDLEBERGER CATCHES A TARTAR IN
THE SENATE LOBBY.

The New York Worlds Washington cor
gives the following account Of
the scrimmage between Riddleberger and
Jones:
Senator Riddleberger and A. W. Jones,
formerly of the Richmond Wing when it
was Malone organ, had fierce debate
to-day, which ended in personal encoun-
ter. 1t occurred in the lobby east of the
Senate chamber. The Senator walked out
of the chamber when Senator Evarts began
his speech against the President. MIR.
Jones tapped him on the shoulder, and in
plaintive voice said, ''Hello." The Senator
turned his head around and replied, ''Hello."
Then Mr.. Jones whispered, "How about
that matter?" The Senator, in the most
innocent manner, merely replied, "About
what matter?" and began stroking his
beard. "Oh, now, come, come" put in
Mr.. Jones; 'syou know what I am after.
When are you going to pay me? want it, )"
and Mr.. Jones exhibited a due-bill. He
famed the air with it directly under the
Senator's nose. SIT is a back number"
said Mr.. Jones, as he tried to smile.
Senator Riddleberger said something of
a procrastinating nature and Mr.. Jones's
remarks became exasperating. The Sena-
tor became very angry and declined to pay.
Mr.. Jones grew about two inches in height
in response. The Senator gave utterance
to violent expletive and Mr.. Jones at once
burst forth in perfect storm of abuse.
There was rapid duel of words. TheSen-
ator's eyes flashed and Mr.. Jones was shak-
ing his head and pounding his two hands
together.
The Senator brought the first round to a
close by intimating that Mr.. Jones could
go to the devil, or where the devil is sup
posed to be at home. Mr.. Jones was by
this time greatly excited and angry, and he
launched his right fist at the Senator, the
blow taking effect on the Senator'S left ear.
The Senator made rush for Mr.. Jones, and
it is said by several that the Senator's right
hand went towards his hip pocket. The
doorkeepers interfered and held the Senator
back, while Mr.. Jones was hustled down.
stairs. 81 will see that sceundrel," re-
marked the Senator. 81 won't stand his
bluffs any longer" were Mr.. Jones's last
words.

How TO KEEP A SITUATIoN.-The fol-
lowing bit of good advice is from the work.
ingman, and is worthy the attention of all
our readers
Lay it down as foundation rule, that you
will be sfaithful in that which is least. y
Pick up the loose nails, bits of Irvine, clean
wrapping paper, and put them in their
places. Be ready to throw in an odd hour
or half hours time, when it will be an &C
commodation; and don't seem to make a
merit of it. Do it heartily. Though not a
word be said, be sure your employer will
make note of it. Make yourself indispen-
sable to him and he will lose many of the
opposite kind before he will part with you.
Those young men who watch the time to
see every second their working honr is up,
who leave, no matter what state the work
may be in, at precisely the instant-who
calculate the extra amount they can slight
their work, and yet not get reproved-who
are lavish of their employers goods, will
always be the first to receive notice that
times are dull, and their services are no
longer required.

RECIPES. - VEGETABLE SoUP.-Put a
piece of pork that is not too fat and any
bones left from roast beef in soup ket-
tie with as much water as will be needed
for soup, and set the kettle on the fire.
As soon as the water boils, add potatoes,
carrots, celery, an onion and small Savoy
cabbage, all cut in small pieces, and salt
to taste. Simmer for two hours and a
half; remove the bones and pork and serve.
CORN BATTER CAKEs.-Two cupfuls Of
white cornmeal, one cup full of flour, two

A SINGULAR INcIDENT.-More than a
year ago, while crossing the mountains about
about miles west of Union, Mr.. W. A..
Browning Of Anderson, this county, was
thrown by his horse. The frightened animal
galloped off and was never seen again. A
thorough search was instituted, but the
horse could not be found. The matter was
forgotten until a few days ago Messrs.
Thomas and VIM Broyles, sons of Mr..
William L. Broyles, residing on Laurel
Creek, came upon the skeleton of a horse
lying beneath an immense cliff, on the sum-
init of which runs the county road. Near
by was found saddle and bride, which is
believed to belong to Mr.. Browning. They
were discovered about two miles from the
scene of Mr.. B. IS accident, and the theory
is that goaded by fear, the horse ran on
until he plunged over this cliff, and came to
his death on the rocks below. The place
is very sequestered spot, and it was only
by accident that the fate of the unlucky
animal was ascertained. --Monroe Co. CIV.

Alas! the boughs were bare;
He was himself the one green thing

Upon wintry gale.
"Sing, merry birds, in bush and tree"
He read the aim anac;
The birds were wiser far than be,
And did not hurry back.
