CoNsoLATIoN-"H Heaven tempors the wind to
the shorn lamb" is beautiful proverb. The
human heart in misery often finds consolation
in the merest trifes, which in its jublant move
ments would pass unseen. Our Democratic
friends who lately were straining like blood
hounds in the leash, to rcnd the Union limb from
limb if a Black Republican was elected Speaker
after being signally worstcd in the elevation of
Pennington. find a deal of consolation in the
fact that he did not indorse Helpers book,
while Sherman did. We see but little difference
between Sherman and Pennington on that score
Pennington did not indorse Helper but he in
dorsed Sherman who did. There is a distinction
it is true, but without much difference. How
ever if the Union is saved from destruction by
the difference it is great deal We are safe
for a few months, and how consoling ii isl

The report brought by the overland mail of the as
sasslnaton of the Tycoon of Japan by band of con-
sprators and the execution of number of these in ad
don to those who allowed the inestimable prvi
lege OF disemboweng themselves is interesting at this
time. We have made inquiries as to what the apanese
now In this city think of the news, but informed that
the Commissioners have thought it best to keep from
them, fearing that it might lead to difficulty or uneas
ness and that the ambassadors might perform Harikar
here in Philadelphia which would be very inconven.nt
and would sadly interfere with carrying out the pro-
gramme for the rest of their visit.


Mr.. Portman, the Dutch interpreter accompanying
the Embassy, who has resided long time in Japan and
is intimately acquainted with their SYSTEM doubts the


truth OF the story of the conspiracy and the assassination
of the Tycoon and thinks it is only another fasehood
invented by unknown parties like that of the death of
Consul Harris and other iabrications that have occa
Sonay reached us from Japan. Besides he thinks that
IT true 1t can effect no essential change in the Japanese
Empire, as the Tycoon is irresponsible officer, regu
lated by his ministers like the Queen of England, and
placed at the head of the government in accordance with
custom, being really more for ornament than use. At
the same time they think it nexpedent to tell the Prin-
ces and their suit of the reports and it hoped that
they may not reach their ears from any other source

THE FRIENDS OF NJ LAMARTINE THINK IT ISL


We are utterly disguised with the selaudation which
some OF our second class great are in the habit of
practicng and to expose it. even though the
task is dlstasteu The vice is peculiarly though
not exclusively French and is found among the second
class of great but among the first who are the
real benefactOrs of the world


Thomas Holloway, one of the latter, whose name is
ldozed III all parts OF the world and to whom it is not
too much to say that millions of all creeds and complex
ions are indebted for the preservation of their lives
Thomas Holloway say, is heard appealing either
to the gratitude generosity of those who have derived
the greatest OF all earthly blessings from his skill he
contents himself with the assurance that his work has been
done, and that the price has been paid


We have been led into these reflections by an appeal
which is now put forward behalf of a second class
French poet. Monsieur AlphOnse Lamartne it seems


though municenty paid for the productions of his pen
neglected to lay up any sufficient store for the support of
his declining days and his voice is raised against
" the lngrattude of the human race" The argument
which he produces to strengthen his claim is one which
should rather make him blush for his extravaganza he
says that millions of his productions have been Sold and


that therefore the world is in his debt But why? Was
he not paid the price he asked for every copy Or does
be think that it sounds like prose honesty to ask
to be reid t-Tioe


He will answer doubtless that his poems gave pleas
ure the value OF which their price could not approximate


Let us admit this rule and apply to another case to test
It's merits Health we all know is the chief of earthly
blessings boon which must be purchased let the cost
De what 1t may blessing to be blessed with which the
sinking monarch would resign his kingdom Suppose
then, that Holloway instead of fixing such price on his
remedies as would afford him (when myriads were his
customers) fair and honorable profit had annortioned
the price of his pills and ointment 10 the eyicencies of
each case and the ability of the sufferer to nav for his
physical salvation Why in such case the great nbv


clan would long ago have owned all Europe in fee sim

SUBSTITUTION OF MOLESKIN FOR LEATHER
Some time ago the Scientific American directed
attention to this subject, stating that some use

scarcity and increasing price. We notice in q
late European exchange, that prepared mole
skin (thick cotton twill, with a nap) has been
substituted, to a large extent, in France. for
calf-skin leather in the upper of shoes. and this
arrested further advance in the price of upper
leather In this country. In our own mark cts
the price of leather has, till now, kept steadily
Increasing. The principal cause of this, we are
told; has been drain upon hides, from our
markets to those of France, Germany, and
England. AT present the side appears to begin
to ebb, as regards the price of soie-leather, but

The brave and skillful Sergeant took position

savages, who, however, soon rallied, and were
preparing to storm the party on all sides The
