What the Editor Saw.

The other day we noticed him as he
came across the bridge with his wagon
full of cotton and chickens ands eggs.
He found ready market for his produce,
and we thought how happy his little
ones would be when he returned home in
the evening with toys, and dresses, and
shoes, and food for the morrow, and
some clear money in his purse. We
thought we could see his wife stand in
the doorway to give HIM cordial greet
ing on his return, so desirous were we
that he should make home ones happy
and contented. We could almost see his
cheerful tace as he returned to his family
aft"r days absence. So we thought.
and returned to our work.
But evcntidc came, and he passed by
our window again, He had nothing
that we thought he would have. The
bed of the wagon was bare. No little
shoes, nor food for the morrow, nor
money in his purse, we dare say. The
man was drunk. He was changed, and
his changed our thoughts of his home.
We could see the children shrinking from
h is approach, and the wife, so careworn
an d sorrowful. She could not meet him
with the tender smile with which she in-
tended greeting him. He was breaking
her heart, and preparing to make pau
pers of his children. Alabama Baptist.

Mr.. Keenan's Russian article in the

titled Russian Provincial Prisons" and
it includes several chapters on various
methods of communication among pris-

which is the @'knock alphabet" by which
the prisoners converse from cell to cell
by system Of raps. The first of Mr..
Keenan's papers was printed in the No

sentative on the committee. This is only
one of many INSTANCES showing how
desperate the democracy are in playing
their lost game. '~,~-
Ex.Speaker Randall, OF Pennsylvania,
will be appointed chairman of the Ap-
preparation Committee. though neither
the President or Speaker want HIM in that
position, but he carries too many guns to
be ignored, and is bent upon having it
and will get it, Judge Holman, of In-
diana. who has served many years on
that committee, is to be dropped, and will
be made chairman of Public Lands, which
change does not suit him. General
Wheeler, of Alabama, who was the chief
of the Confederate Cavalry leader, wants
to be chairman of Military Affairs, but
Dick Townsend, of Illinois, is booked for
the place, and Wheeler is mad.
Genera! Herbert, of Alabama, who was
another Confederate leader, is to be
chairman Of Naval Affairs. Culbertson,
of Texas, prominent in the Confederacy,
is to be chairman of the Judiciary, and
Dibble, of South Carolina, another prom
inent Confederate, has the committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
The Invalid Pensions Committee was
made unusually prominent in the last
| Congress, by the President vetoing 1870
bills that that committee reported and
passed. Col. Matson, of Indiana, was
chairman, and was successful in passing
a few bills over the veto. For that, the
President demands a new chair man, but
whether such petty vengeance will sue.
ceed or not, is matter of doubt up to
this writing.
The President sent to the Pope as q
Christmas present, beautiful engraved
copy of the U. S. Constitution, richly
bound in book form. There are fifteen
pages in the book, and each page elgh.
teen inches square. The book rests in q
gorgeous case of Tyrian purple, and
doubtless will be highly priced by the
Pope.
The report of the Geological Survey
just published shows that the produc
ton of minerals in the United States
reached last year the en- ormous value OF
$465. 600, 900, the largest yet recorded in
any country, and about $45, 900, 900 great
er than the year previous.
1t is asserted this morning on good au
thorlty that on the re-assembling of Con
gress the President will send in specia
message recommen ding the repeal of tht
tobacco tax. Such an act will reduce
the revenue abo ut $50 00OO 900, and vii
not be seriously antagonized.
We had as visitors this week about 30(
school teachers from New York anG
Brooklyn, who have made thorough
tour OF the city and its public buildings
and express themselves as highly pleased
with the visit. Washington is getting tt

day, from and after which time, unit

times. Everything goes to show fierc'
and bitter contest between the two grea
parties.
