T COMBIBAT10S AND COKSFIBACT. i After a close glance into tbe curiosi ties of ioeiety and peep at its patch work of characters, one is not in tbe least surprised why tbe poor toiler seems to be perpetually kept in the bottom of the boat doriog the voyage of life, while the pnfied-np dandy or tbe useless idler il permitted to handle tbe helm and steer whatever conrse he pleases. It might reasonably be supposed that in a free land the Uonest toiler would occasionally come to the surface and show his face, but the truth is that nowhere else is he subjected to so many tanots and jeers nor so much at the mercy of knaves and tricksters. All around him sharpers grow like mash rooms, and shavers come and - go like flicks of birds. It is serenely grand to see Gulliver Crowbar put himslf forth on all political and festive ocaaaioos as the "people's representative," the "work ingman's friend," and the " advocaieof equal rights;" while in his place in the legislative hall he becomes a tough stick ler for conspiracy laws and a strong talker in favor of clipping as close as posiibl all combinations iu aid of the toiler. He may wink and smirk and smile and drink with Babbia the tailor, and itk D affable bow bid Taukard tbe ticker jjlly good day; but at tha saiaa Urn he may have in his p!guy bead plan for ifjereasingtbeir poverty, which be would sell la A ring of jobbers or bond-holders for a sasail remuneration in greenbacks or 'be prooii. ef assistance at tbe next election. What care be if a conspiracy law U a relio 6. barbarism f Isn't this the nineteenth century, when every Man is his own masler? Dn't Gulliver Crow bar bask in tbe toilers' smiles? 4?d isn't he, by my faith, their adorable rep resentative? Dire they who seek shad ows and sbun substances ask more? Let them be satisfied with what they have, little as it is. Lit them shake bands with the Honorable Gulliver: he' a nice man a very nice man, you see; a geteroos man the poor man's friend, you know. What use or value to the man who toils are societies and unities and fraternities ? Sucb combinations be long to the politician and tbe place hunter outsid of whose rings nobody has a ri'bt to debate questions of econ omy. No one should believe ih booby wbo says a republican form of govern ment (ucb as we see around ns) i a ihieg of striped beau'y like a butterfly's wings, tenderly upheld by senators and sages who take exquisite pleasure io munching doenats at tbe public expense, and duleetly apostropbiid by a new or der ot gantlemen tailed the Hifalutins, whose loftiest ambition is to twaddle to a mob, and tnmble out of one party into an chor with th sprightltn of a sprite. It always appears to Sjfuolder Sun down that a political caucus ia a combi nation for tbe "public good," while trade tcieiy appears t his argus eyes sDotled over with a hundred fa a Its, ach fault in itself tqual to a eon- iriracy. Huehitn lceriot Bacdowet wul say the country belongs to " tbe people J yt ke knows very well the pan t ciaca will divide it among tbeir friends. or barter it oS io lections tn railroad rings, which may be considered very landable and Quite becoming- in states men cf a rich republic, where for every l TV l0 improvement that a poor toiler puts on his patch of ground he has an additional tax to pay. If Bluffbead and Bullhead happen to be tbe chiefs of a jobbing ring, and at the same time chiefs of a political league, it is the easiest thing In tbe world for them to piay their cards in such a way as to win as many acres of the public domain as they please from tbe "people's representatives;" and this game is frequently applauded under the high sounding title of "publio improve ment." But suppose Tigbtfoot the tanner and Wooltoe the weaver begged a few acres for tbe purpose of starting a tannery and a woolen factory, would they not be laughed at on all sides ? and yet have they not j ust as good a right to a ' dona tion of land br any political ring or set of j obbers ? To be sure, all rings are lia ble to be blown up as bubbles and smashed, while tbe man who toils may continue creating wealth. He may never beoome a great ornament in so ciety, but he may ever be the guide ot progress and the source of prosperity. The toiler indeed should be honored by everyone, while tbe idler deserves scarcely anything bat scorn. All nature is an example of toil. Tbe sea is nn oeasipgly oa tbe move, and the planed and stars never stop whirling in their or bits; the rivers and the rills keep on ward, forever flowing, and the dew-drops fall and disappear and fall again; the largest eak and the smallest moss keep their saps in circulation, and tbe fairest and sweetest flowers bud and bloom year after year. There ia not an insect but has its mode of toil, and follows it con tinually. What brighter lesson need be asked than tbe construction of mounds by ants, pyramids by termites, boner comb by bees, and reefs by corals ? In earth, air and ocean tha perpetual song of all thing useful is toil 1 toil I toil I i ' , Baclt from "Tnrrnp." j L ' i'- Boston, November, 18H9. Have ycu ever seen a family of fools jusi back from Europe or Yurrup, as they pronounce it? They never talk to you, of course, being strangers, but they talkto each other and of you till you are pretty nearly distracted with their clat ter; till you are sick of their ocean ex periences; their dukes and emperors; tbeir trivial adventures; their pointless reminiscences; till yen are sick ot tneir imbecile faces and tbeir relentless clack, and wish it bad pleased Providence to leave tbe clapper out of their empty skulls. v I traveled with sucb a family one eternal day, from New York to Boston, last week. They bad spent just a year in "Yurrup," and were returning borne to Boston. Papa said little, and looked bored he had simply been down to New York to receive and cart home his cargo of traveled imbecility. aisterAngeiine, aged 23. sister Augusta, aged 25, and brother Charles, aged 33, did tbe conver sational drivel, and mamma purred and admired, and (brew in some help when occasion offered, in the way of remem bering some French barber's I should say some French Count's name, when tbey pretended to have forgotten it Tbey occupied the choice seats io the parlor of the drawing-room car, and for twelve boors I sat opposite to them was their vi$ a vis, they would have said, in their oharming French way, Augusta Piague that nahsty (nasty) steamer I I've the headache yet, she rolled so the fifth day out.

' By that time some new comers had en tered the car, and so they lapsed into English again, and fell to holding every thing American np to scpro and con tumely in order that they might thus let those new-comers know they were just home from "Yurrup." They kept np this little game all tbe way to Boston and if ever I can learn when their fuaeral is to take place, I shall lay aside every other pleasure and attend it. To ase tbeir pet and best loved phrase, thy were a "nasty" family of American mob, and there ought to be a law against allow ing such to go to Europe and misrepre sent the nation. It will take those inseo'i five years, now, to get done turning np their noses at everything American, and making damigicg comparisons between tbeir own country and "Yurrup." Let us pity their waiting friends in Boston in their sffliotions. Mark Twain, in Buffalo Express. " President 8mith. of Portsmouth Col lage, will spend his vacation at Florida. The Mayor of New Orleans, at the be ginning of last week, announced that flour being 17 50 per barrel, bakers roust furnish sixty ounoes of bread for twenty cents, thirty ounces for ten cents, and fifteen ounces for five cents. Consumers were requested to report to the nearest police station any violation of this order. An inventive Frenchman who witnes sed the great petroleum conflagration at Bordeaux, recently, suggests anew mode of harbor defease: "Io case a hostile fleet should bombard a port, all that would be necessary would be to pour several hundred barrels of petroleum oo the water at tbe ebb tide and light iu Wooden ships would be burned, whi'e on iron ships the crews would b roasted." A scoundrel in Canterbury, Conn., re cently jumped through the window of a chamber occupied bv a Mrs. Backus, seventy-two years of age, and her niece, and with a pistol in hand, he demanded : "Your money or your life 1" "You will have neither," replied the plucky old lady bs she seia?d him by the throat, and held him until tbe nieoe called in the neighbors wbo took the fellow to jail, A Florida paper report that a pan ther reeeotly inlersd the house of Mr. Eli P. Whidden, in Maoatio county, in that State, and sprang at his little daughter.

Wbon sailing into the port of Yokohama the Eoglish admi ral was duly saluted, but the American and French officers were passed by with out salutation. In constquetrce of the insult these officers refused to attend the Prince's levee on the following day. Their absence caused so much comment that the young squirt was forced to recall bis manner, and on tbe next morning went about the business of a general salutation like one wbo bad no pelty malice to nurse and oo boysn wcims to indulge.
