Next to sunlight of heaven is the sun
light of a cheerful face. There is no
mistaking it, the bright eye, the IN
clouded brow, the sunny smile-all tell
OF that which dwells within. Who has
not felt its electrifying influence One
glance at this face lifts us at once out
of the arms of despair out of the mists
and shadows, away from tears and re-
pining, into the beautiful realms of
hope. One cheerful face in q house
hold will keep everything bright and
warm within. Envy, hatred, malice,
selfshness, dependency, and host of
evil passions may lurk around the door,
they may even look within, but they
never enter and abide there-the cheer
full face will put them alto shame and
flight.


1t may be a very plain face, but there
is something in it, we feel, we cannot
express, and its cheerful smile sends
the blood dancing through our veins
for very Joy. We tBrn toward the sun,
and it's warm, genial influence refreshes
and Strengthens our fainting spirits.
All, there is a world of magic IN the
plain, cheerful face 1t charms us with
| a spell of eternity, and we would not
exchange it for all the soulless beauty
that ever graced the fairest form on
earth.


1t may be a very little one that we
nestle upon our bosom or sing to sleeI
| in our arms with a low, sweet lullaby
but it is such a bright, cheerful face
The scintiliatiops of joyous spirits are
flashing from every feature. And wha
power it has over the household

ness and love and sympathy Shadow
may darken around us, but somehow

BEES IN TIE UNITED STATES.
are two million bee hives IN the Uniied
States. Every hive yields, on an aver
age. a little over twenty pounds Of
honey. The average price at which
honey is sold is twenty-five cents q
pound. So that, after paying their
own board, our bees present us with q
revenue of over S, 800, 900. To reckon
il another way, they make clear gift
of over a pound Of pure honey to every
man, woman, and child In the vast do
main of the United States. Over
twenty-three and one-third million
pounds of wax are made and given 20
US by these industrious workers. The
keepinR of bees is one of the most
profitable investments that our people
can make of their money. The profits
arising from the sale of surplus honey
average from fifty TO two hundred per
cent. Of the capital invested.

"Banished from Rome What's banished
but set free from daily contact with the
things 1 loathe ?" This inquiry was made by
gentleman whose politics were offensive
to the General Committee in the famous city
said to have seven hills though if we know
how to count there are at least dozen. But
the inquiry thus made from the standpoint of
personal superiority was 'sockdolager,"
as the sturdy John would say, and
it put the General Committee down. In
deed, the world recognized that that man was
not so much banished from Rome as Rome
was banished from him. 1t has surprised us
that Mr. Morrissey should not take a similar
view Of his relations to Tammany Hall and
its pygmies. This has surprised us, as we
simply reflected upon him in the character of
q man with mission-the mission say, to
put good, big, semi-gigantic foot on q
wriggling, squirming snivelling mass of
political petit larceny, and crush it out of
sight But when we see the Tammany people
through Mr.. Morrisseys spectacles we are
more than ever surprised that he should take
any other than this view Of the case. How
could man congratulate himself too much
upon the circumstances that relieved him of
the company of Kelly, Wickham and the
other little snarling, grovelling, haggling
Tammany people? How could pugnacious
man be too happy over an event that set his
hands free to fight these rogues and hum
bugs2 This is the point of view to which
we particularly direct the attention of the
champion. He knows these fellows. He
has in full the spirit Of the popular indig-
nation at their antics and he is the man to
smite them, hip and thigh, with the jaw
bone of an ass orr any handler weapon. Does
he not see that the way is open for him to
become the Bergh Of our politics? Peoples
sensibilities are offended by the exhibition in
the streets Of cruelty to animals, and they
set Bergh to stop all that People are dis
gusted at the exhibition of the Tammany
antics, and they would throw up their caps
to see Morrissey ''pull" that game.

RAILWAY MANAGEMENT. "A number Of peo-
pie very narrowly escaped death through an
accident which occurred on the Southern
Railway of Long Island. Owing to the bad
condition of the road the engine of a passen-
ger train jumped the track. The tender, bag
gage car and engine we're completely wrecked,
but by some good fortune the passengers
escaped serious injury. AS this is the second
accident on this road within five weeks, the
public has a right to expect something to
be done for its protection. The railway
company evidently do not care much about
the safety of the public, but surely the au-
thorities ought to compel the railroad COM
panies to keep their lines in proper working
order or close them up.

The Kentucky mob that took Jesse Wood
son from Jail and lynched him will probably
be punished by the judicial authorities of the
State. These lynching outrages are by far
too common in our Western States, and tend
to bring the civilization of this country into
disrepute In the case of Woodson there
seems to have been no good reason for the
violent action of the mob. The man was in
the hands of the proper authorities and was
about to be tried by the proper tribunal for
crime, it is alleged, he had confessed 1t is
not pretended that there was any danger of
his escaping, and the only reason why the
mob interfered was that they desired his i'm
mediate execution. Like band of savages,
they were thirsting for the blood of their
prisoner, and were unwilling to wait until
the formalities of the law could be carried
out. Such a state of public feeling is dis
graceful to community, and the excesses
arising from it exercise on the public mind
of the country demoralizing influence. 1t
is said that the most prominent men in
Rutherford county were engaged in the latest
lynching outrage. This is an additional
reason why they should be punished, for it
is to this class that we look for an example of
obedience to the laws and if the intelligent
and respectable classes set the laws at def
ance, what can be expected from the mob
We hope, therefore, that the judicial authori-
ties of the State will punish promptly
and severely every one who can be shown to
have aided or abetted the killing Of Jesse
Woodson.

TIE O'CoNNELL CENTENARY CELEBRATION. -
BY a special favor we are enabled to
present to the readers of the HERALD to-day
the scholarly address which was to have been
read by Lord O'Hagan on the occasion of the
O'Connell Centenary celebration in Dublin, a
duty which he was unable to perform, on
account, as it has been said, of the
illness Of q member of his family; but,
as very many believe, from prudential
motives. The Lord Mayor Of Dublin, Peter
Paul MacSwiney, undertook to supply the
place which was thus made vacant on the
platform but, as our readers have
been already informed by cable, his
lordship was not heard, and was forced
TO abandon the work, the municipal
chief magistrate not being more fortunate
than would have been the ex-Lord Chancellor

WATERING PLACE PoLITIcs As indicated
by our Long Branch correspondence, the
Southern people are feeling profound in
terest in the forthcoming Presidential elec-
ton, and speculations upon the probable
candidate of the democratic party, with
whom, as they consider, all their hope lies,
are very rife among them. 1t has always
been favorite idea OF 5outherners that, in a
normal condition of affairs, the West is the
natural ally Of their section, as opposed to
the Atlantic and New England States and
that this fact is to be manifested in the forth
coming National Democratic Convention,
resulting in the control of the nomination,

ANOTHER VOICE AGAINST INITIATION.
Governor Hoffman has given our CORE
spondent at Saratoga some valuable sugges-
tions concerning the political situation in
general. He thinks there is no danger of
the democratic party becoming the champion
of an initiation policy, yet considers that the
old issues Of the war are replaced by ques-
tions of finance. Altogether he seems to be
convinced that the democratic party has q
grand career before it if its leaders make no
fatal mistakes This is a warning to the
democracy Of Ohio.

A STERN CHASE Is LONG CHASE. The
steam yacht Uruguay is suspected of having
on board munitions of war for the Cubans.
This report was conveyed to the authorities
at Washington, and an unsuccessful attempt
was made to capture the vessel. The United
States government appears to have done all
in its power to determine tho question, and
certainly Spain has no reason to complain
that the present administration is in favor of
the Cuban insurgents. The facts in the case
of the Uruguay are elsewhere presented to
the public.

THE ExTRApIrIoN LAWS WITH GERMANY
The subject of the extradition laws between
Germany and the United States will, it is
said, occupy the attention of the Federal
Council at an early day. Considerable delay
and confusion are caused at present by the
existence of number of distinct treaties
with the minor German States. The abroga-
one general law applying to the German
Empire would do much to facilitate public
business and, owing to the intimate rela-
tions existing between large portion of the
population of this country and Germany, it
is desirable that the international laws be-
tween the two countries should be as clear
and simple as possible.

Public attention is once more to be called
to the strange abduction of Charley Ross.
Failing in their efforts to discover any trace
of the lost boy, the police authorities have de-
cided on bringing to trial Westervelt, who
will be remembered as the brother-in-law of
Mosher, one Of the two burglars shot to death
by the Van Brunts on Long Island. 1t is
asserted that the police authorities of Phila-
delphia have discovered new evidence impli-
eating Westervelt in the abduction, and it
is expected that the boys place of conceal
ment will be discovered in the course of the
trial. The belief is strongly entertained that
Charley Ross is still alive, but is kept out of
sight by Westervelt and his friends. In view
of the desperate character of Mosher and his
associate this theory does not recommend
itself very strongly, but the police are right
in not abandoning the search until they can
satisfactorily clear up the boys fate. 1t is a
reproach to the intelligence and energy OF
the American police that crime like the alb
duction Of Charley Ross should 60 unpun-
ished, and if there is any good evidence con-
Meeting the man Westervelt with the crime
he ought to be punished to the utmost ex-
tent of the law. The detection of the authors
of the Charley Ross outrage at this time and
their exemplary punishment would convey
to the criminal classes the important lesson
that, however cleverly executed their crimes
may be-, justice in the end is sure to over
take them. For this desirable object the
police authorities should continue to exert
all their enerUv and yipilance Public at-
tention has been so strongly directed toward
this case, there have been so many strong
clews furnished by accident to the detectives,
that failure to discover and bring to justice
the guilty parties and their associates must
discredit the police in the eyes of the public
and bring the administrator Of the law into
contempt with the criminal classes.

The President having appointed
Zach. Chandler to the head Of the In
terror Department, the reformation OF
that branch of the Government will
have to bo indefinitely postponed,
since if there is anything to which Mr..
Chandler has been opposed throughout
his whole career it is reform, personal
and public. The habits of the man,
his frieldliness to any scheme of plum
der, and base ideas of the use of power,
all forbid that we should expect any
thing better from him than W. re-
ceivcd from Mr., Delano, while lis
open and defiant endorsement of past
wickedness warrant the belief that
his conduct of the department will be
just as much worse than his predeces
sor's, as his reputation. Ii Grant had
set his heart upon insulting the nation
he could not have hit upon a more
effective method than that displayed
in this appointment, and if he was
simply actuatcd by the desire to forti
fly his position by the presence in his
Cabinet of the most audacious of third
term advocates, he could not have
afflicted more fatal blow to his pros.
poets. There is not prominent Re
publican, of any honesty whatever,
who is not disgraced by the elevation
of Chandler, nor any who will not
regard it as a serious injury to the
party. The Republicans have been
boasting of their triumph IN Ohio, but
If this is the way in which they in
tend to reward the people who accom-.
plishcd that victory for them, they
cannot hope for success anywhere else.
A few more such appointments as
Chandler's will utterly destroy the
party, if indeed the November elections
are not now assured TO the Democrats.
