ExRAGED AND THREArENISG.-The irrepressible
fight between the Irish wing of the Democracy
and the Chivalry wing has broken out again
with increased ardor. 1t is charged by the
prominent Irish politicians that the Chvalry not
only failed to support McCoppin at the late cleo
tion but they used all of their influence to defeat
him. We have reason to believe that the charge
is true. The Irish are greatly wrought up by
this treacherous detection and swear vengeance.
They threaten to do all in their power to prevent
the election of Wallace and Provines-both
Chvalry candidates for the Judiciary: Should
they persist in their avowed determination of
lea talionis, the result cannot be doubtful. We
shall then be spared the disgrace of elevatng to
the Supreme bench person lacking the qualiii-
cations of ;urist, and who, it is claimed, is
favorable to certain gigantic schemes that will
come before that august tribunal for adjudica-
ton. We shall also be relieved from the norti-
fcation Of seeing the snowy ermine soiled by
partisan decisions in our district courts. Such
consummation is deyoutly to be wished for,
and it would be q just retribution on the heads
of the Chivalry for their treachery to ther Irish
colleag es,-Saa Francisco Chronicle.

The English brig La Cayenne VIII leave in about
a fortnight for New York. There are several Eng

Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, having made
a thorough examination of Alaska, dur
ing the past summer, takes different
view from that of Mr.. Seward. In his
report lately sent to the War Depart

He thinks the principal, if not only
present value of the new Territory, is
in the effect its transfer to the United
States will have upon loosing the hold
of England upon British Columbia.

eft will be to those who draw salaries
the military posts should be reduced,
expenses ofsupplying them being enOr-
NOUS; and the expense of keeping up
the civil service will very far exceed
the revenue collected. The Territory
was a constant burden to Russia, and
she held it at great expense, simply for
the benefit of a fur company. There isno
probability of an emigration in that dI-
rectiOn as there is not the slightest in

Most people sleep best on the right
side; the chief reason for this is that
as the heart lies towards the left side,
greater freedom is given to its mo-
tions. In. many countries it is the
habit to sleep on hard boards, or at
most with a mat thrown over them.
The ancient Egyptians slept with the
head supported on an iron bar, bent to
its shape. This one thing only seems
to belong to all times and to all cOun-
tries-that, when possible, people al
ways sleep lying down. But, in cases
of great fatigue, neither this, nor even
a state Of rest, is indispensable. PeO-
pie have often slept while riding on


horseback. In the retreat of Sir John
Moore during the Penin5ular War,
many of the soldiers were found TO be
fast asleep while they were marching.
It is indeed astonishing how well
sleep can be INDUCED in under diff
culties. Men worn out by fatigue and
loss of rest at the siege of SebastOpOl
slept soundIy in the batteries during a


bombardment. Coy and fugitive when
sought after, sleep is often an irresisti

The following Quaker declaration of
faith was written by George Fox in 1871,
and sent to the Governor of Barbados;


DECLARATION OF FAITH.


We own and believe in God, the only
wise, omnipOtent and everlasting God, the
Creator of all things in heaven and earth,
and the Preserver of all that He hath
made; who is God over all, blessed forev-
er; to whom be all honor, glory dominion,
praise and thanksgiving, both now and
forevermOreI And we own and believe
in Jesus Christ, His beloved and only be-
gotten Son, in whom he is we'll pleased;
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
and born of the Virgin Mary; in whom we
have redemption through His blood, even
the forgiveness of sins; who IS the express


image of the invisible God, the first born
of every creature, by whom were all
things created that are in heaven and in
earth, visible and invisible. Whether
they be thrones, dUminions, municipalities
or powers, all things were created by Him.
And we own and believe that He was


made d sacrifice for sin, who knew no sin,
neither was guile found in His mother;
that He was crucifed for us in the flesh,
without the gates Of Jerusalem; and that
| he was buried and rose again the third
] day by the power of His Father, for our
| justification, and that lie ascended up in
| to Heaven, and now sitteth on the right
hand of God; This Jesus, who was the
foundation of the holy prophets and apos-
| ties, is our foundation; and we believe
there is no other foundation to be laid but
that which is laid, even Christ Jesus; who
tasted death for every man, shed His blood


for all men, is the prupitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only, but also for
| the sins of the whole world. according as


John the Baptist testified Of Him when he
said, "BehOld the Lamb of God, that tax
eth away the sins of the world" We be-
! lieve that He alOHe-is our Redeemer and
Savior, the Captain of our salvation, who
saves us from sin, as well as from hall
and the wrath TO come, and destroys the
! Devil and his works. He is the seed of
the woman that bruises the serpent's head,
tO-wit-Christ Jesus, the Alpha and One
ga, the first and the last. He is las the
Scriptures of truth say of Him) our wis
dom, righteousness, justification and re-
demption; neither is there salvation in any
other, for there is no other name under
| Heaven given among men whereby we
must be saved. This Lord Jesus Christ
/ the heavenly man, the Emmanuel, God with


us. We all own and believe in.

The Effect of Salt Oh the Blood.


DIR. Stevens, a Scotch physician and
surgeon, saw a butcher killing pig.
He Observed that he stirred the blood
of the animal and added a handful of
common salt to it while stirring, which
Immediately made it crimson, and on
the stirring being discontinued, the
blood was fluid. The change OF the
color of the blood awakened his curl
osity. The butcher could give no ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon, except
that it kept it from jrIlying and spell
ing. DR.. Stevens seized vessel, and
caught some blood, and made several
experiments by putting salt in it, and
found that the blacklist blood was in
stantly changed to a bright vermiliOn


by salt. "Oh % sajti he, "here is a
fact which may lead to a practical
rule" He had observed in cases of
yellow fever in the army that the
blood drawn was very black and thick
and on adding salt it became vermil-
/ ion. and retained its freshness; where


as putridity of the blood is one Of the


characteristics of the yellow fever. He


therefore abandoned the usual mode


of treating it, and gave his patients
mixture of various salts, and in {


very short time reduced the mortality

lin five to one in fifty.

Boots and shos, if taken care of
properly, will usually last two or three
times longer than they usually do
and, at the same time, fl the feet far
more satisfactorily, and keep them dry
and more comfortable in wet and cold
weather. The upper leather should
be kept soft and pliable, while the
sOles need to be hard, tough and inn
pervious to water. The first thing TO
be done with a pair of new shoes for
farm use, is to set each one on plat
ter or an old dinner plate, and pour
on boiled Hnseed oil, sufficiently 10
fill the vessel to the upper edge Of the
sOlps. Allow the leather to absorb as
much oil es it will for eight hour.
LiHseed oil should not be applied to
the upper leather, as it will soon be-
come dry, rendering the leather hard
and tough. But if the soles be satura-


ted with oil, it will exclude the damp
mess and enlarge the pegs, 50 that tho,
sole will never get loose from the up
per leather. If the shoes be sewed,
the Iins7ed oil will preserve the thread


from rOtting. Now, wet the upper
leather thoroughly when the boots or
shoes are to be put on the feet, so that
those parts that are tight may render


a trihe, and thus fer adapt the form Of


the shoe to the foot far more salts


factorily than when the upper leather
is not wet. Keep them on the feet


until they are nearly dry. Then give
the upper leather a thorough greasing
with equal parts of lard and tallOw,


or with tallow and neat's-foot oil. II


shoes be treated in this manner, and a
row of round-headed shoe nails be


driven around the edge Of the solrs


they will wear like copper, and al


ways set easy to the feet. Boots and


shoes should be treated as suggested,


and worn a little several months be-
fore put to daily service. This is the

from the road, they tie the tail of one

of this to the tail of the former. In this
state tits utterly impossible that they can
move either backwards or forwards, one
pulling one way and the other the reverse

permit them to leave until paid their wages.
The road was barricaded and the car un-
coupled, and the men stated that nothing
but the passengers and mails would be allowed to
proceed either way until their demands are complied
with. The gang numbered about 800 men, many Of
whom are desperate characters. Any attempt to
have moved the car would have ended In bloOdshed,
for they were all armed and determined to have no
interference. Information received from them late
last evening says everything was quiet but the men
were firm In their determination. No violence was
anticipated unless an attempt to leave Is made.

testimony Of that young man was true, it
not only explained his own sad history
but should be accepted rs solemn rebuke
by thousands Of christian parents in the
land. No wonder their religion becomes
subject Of mockery, when the child never
marks any evidence of their regard for its
solemn truths beyond bare profession. In
the church they profess to believe tha, their
children have, yet they utterly neglect
their salvation. IF the force of this arpu-
ment, which our fallen nature so promptly
grasps, is overcome by the efforts of tho

the parents deliberately to concentrate all
their influence on the mind Of the child

it, they could employ no means more ef:
fectual than profoune Indifference. With
what silent, yet mighty energy, is this
force being applied TO The hearts Of many
