comes into view q. new ship and new

is the wonderful mirage Of the Libyan

GOOD TEMPER.

There's not a cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one half so dear;
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth,
Or thousands gained year.
It lends the day new delight.
IT'S Virtues firmest shield; r
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all the stars can yield.
1t maketh Poverty tyeOntent ,
To Sorrow whisperspeace;
Itis gift from Nature sent,
For mortalsto 10 increase;
1t meets you with a smile at morn,
It lulls you tofepose;
"A flower for peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to banish grief away
To snatch the brow from care;
Turn tears to smiles, make dullness gay
Spread gladnes everywhere.
And yet it's sweet as summer dew
That gems the lily's breast;
A talisman for love as true
AS ever man possessed.
What may this wondrous spirit be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright amenity'
Good Temper-nothing more!
Good Temper-'tis the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift,
To bliss unknown to kings.

WISE WORDS.

Preferred Primitive Methods.

A very peculiar individual, who has
been living the life of q hermit in the
wilds Of Robson Township, in Pennsyl-
vania, has been unearthed by the Board
of, Directors Of the Poor, and brought to
the almshouse. He owned small tract
of land in the lonely locality, and for
the last four years has lived alone, re-
tfusing to see any one, and subsisting en-
tirely on corn meal, which he raised him
self and ground in a primitive mill of his
own manufacture. He believed it was
necessary he should live on this diet in
order that he, might gain heaven He
believed in self-inficted punishment as a
means Of grace. AS he was likely to
come to want through his pecularitiesy
at the request oftshis relatives. he was
taken in charge BY the authorities.--

ssIknow colored man who uses fish
for horse"
Mr.. W. G.. Casey Of Augusta knows
more about fish and snake stories than
any man in Georgia. Catfish, when
frightened, he says always run down
stream. On this he builds narrative,
and swears to it.
A colored man, fishing in the Savan-
nah, he says, hooked huge catfish,
which ran down stream at a rapid rate,
the boat and man following, the cat not
stopping until exhausted. It was then
captured, but placed in the water. The
next day the captor tied a rope to it, at
tached the line. to his boat and turned
the fish in the river. Down stream the
boat went, faster than oars could carr
it or wind propel 1t. WI t.a"

A set of harness has been made for it

hi significant and creditable fact that the
nroiect to erect substantial and commodious
bnildine in this city as Republican head

Of symnathetic interest and practical support
az IN VIBRANT the belief that it will have been
carried into execution within year. Assoc
from its immediate convenience as heau-
quarters such centre Of Republican acnVltT
would be of immense value and Importance to
the party in many indirect ways. There is not
supposed TO be much sentiment in politics, but
such q visible expression Of loyalty ana en-
thusiasm could not fail to furnish a far-reach-
ing stimulus and inspiration. Hitherto our
campaigns have been overcrowded with the
work of instruction, and as for organization,
there has practically been none until q few
months before election, whereas the inculcation
of Republican principles ought to be contin-
uous, and the party constantly In condition
to conduct vigorous canvass. And no other
single agency could make so important con-
tribution to this end as q well-planned and
well maintained Republican homo In this city.
It would be an educating force Of the most
persuasive and salutary character, and It's in

An article in another part Of this paper de-
scribes the scope OF the undertaking aid the
elements of success which arc already enlisted
in It's behalf. Nothing in recent political his
tory has been more remarkable and encourag-
ing than the continuance of interest and en-
thusiasm in the purposes and results Of the
Presidential contest. The Republican hosts,
in wide contrast 10 their usual experience, were
not tired Of the campaign. For weeks after
ward was exhibited the extraordinary spectacle
of great mass meetings and parades, and sever
al of the most notable organizations which tho
campaign called into being have been kept In
fighting order, and will enter upon the next
political combat in condition Of unexampled
efficiency. The movement to build Repub-
hcan home in New-Yors is a practical ex.
empliGcation Of the same spirit. II Is move
ment that is full of meaning, and that ought to
find universal encouragement and support
within the party. A good beginning has been
made, and the work deserves 10 be prosecuted
without interruption and with an ever-increas-
ing interest TO the end. And now is tho time
to make success certain by multitude Of sub
scnptons-the larger the better; but none
can be too small TO be welcome.

THE LIBEL BIZ.

A long step has been taken toward a reform
Of the libel laws by the favorable report Of the
Saxton bill from the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee. The unfavorable report upon the bin
requiring persons bringing libel suits against
newspapers to give bonds for costs Is not in.
consistent with the action upon the former bill,
but, on the contrary, is directly in the line OF
that just regard for the rights both Of the press
and the public which 10 the keynote of the
Saxton bill. The newspapers could not and,
as we understand, do not, ask that they shall
be protected against suits for libel by any such
barrier as that proposed In the Blumenthal
bill. They could not reasonably expect to be
set apart as favored class by having n special
restriction of this sort enacted for their benefit.
II such check can ever DO placed upon the
bringing of suits at law without infringing
upon personal rights, which seems most i'm.
probable, it should be m2de universal and
should not DO set up for the benefit Of a class.
We feel sure the press Of the State will approve
the decision Of the committee upon the Bumen-
thai bill.
AS to the Saxton bill the fact cannot be too
often repeated that it Is quito as much In the
interest Of the average man who may happen TO
be sandered in the columns of Newspaper as
it is In the interest Of newspapers which need
to be protected against Matchmaking suits.
1t operates in favor of the newspaper by Ne
moving the old common law presumption Of
malice, though the courts have done that TO
considerable extent already by protecting the
newspaper in its right to print speeches made
at bona-fde public meeting Just as IL is now
free to print court and legislative proceedings.

position OF the citizen is improved. He can
demand retraction as conspicuous as the libel

If it is refused, the refusal will be a strong

,,stioe the salalies Of members Of both branches

Justice the salaries Of members of both branches
of Congress ought to be doubled.
Senator Allison sets at rest whatever appre-
tensions may exist in regard to the magnitude
of the surplus by showing that the appropria-
tons are not so far within the estimated re-
ceipts as to give occasion for alarm. He thinks
that the Secretary of the Treasury can easily
dispose Of the amount that viii have nc.
cumulated by the 1st of January next by the
purchase of bonds. As to an extra session, he
holds that it would be unwise to call one. now
or in the near future If one were called at
once, 1t would be impossible to perfect tariff
measure in the time to be occupied, and the
only thing possible in the way Of revenue re.
ducion would be the passage Of Joint resolu-
ion repeating the tobacco tax. AS small Dor.
ton OF either party could, however, keep this
from being done, it would, in his Judgment be
unwise to hold an extra session at an early date.
