In fact tho whiskey birds are coming
down from the trees, with the very fust
laveling of the- gun. Confession and
blabbing about others is thc order ef
the day. The sucretary seems to have
got the King where it is divided amoug
its own members, fighting among them
selves, and eiieh is anxious to tell all
he knows, in the hope of clearing him
nelf from punishment. Stxnc of the
distillers talk with great emphasis on
the whole mutter, declaring outright
and with gret ftpparcut innoceuce, that
they have none of them made anything
for the past two years and that they
were actually forced into "crooked"
whiskey by the officials themselves.
Tins is ft serious charge to make :
but if it bo true it ought to be estab
lished as a fact. Thc Secretary doubt.,
less has all tho facts in his possession,
an 1 it is like him to push till some
thing gires way, and, olik'crs or no of
ficers, the guilty must suffer. AH hon
or to the man who fearlessly docs his
duty. .
Some people cannot bear prosperity ;
the Democrats in Congress have failed
to hide their cloven feet. David of old,
saw these - incu iu prophetic vision,
when he said : "I have seen the wick
ed in great power and spreading them
selves like a grccu bay tree." They
have lost themselves on an obstruction,
that would have been of no value to
them, had it been granted. They
sought universal amnesty, and when
freely offered to them with thc excep
tion of Jeff. Davis, they refuse it for
his sake, and then comes a heated dis
cussion between Blaine, Garfijltt, Cox
and Hill, which developed the fact,
that the Southern Democrats arc most
ly unrepentant rebels, and that thc
Northern Democrats are as fully in ac
cordance with them as evar. The best
informed among the Democrats hoped
to restrain their firo-eating colleagues,
and keep up a deception of patriotism ;
but the old foot will show itself despite
their efforts to hido it. And now the
same old democratic tags arc thrown
to thc breeze, and all men can read
them the same as of old.
The last war we had with Mexico,
gave the Mexicans better times and
more money than was usual with them,
fsr our army bought liberally and paid
cash. And now they act a3 if aching
all over to be whipped iu the same way
again. Not only in Texas, but on the
California border the cattle thieves and
raiders arc continually making inroads
on thc territory of thc United States.
If the United States are compelled to
conquer another peace with Mexico,
it is to be hoped they will conquer the
whole piece this time and make them
foot all the bills. If Mexico cannot
take care of its own subjects, however
careless, the Unitod Statos will, and
"are very carefully looking into it now.
Thc educational bill which Senator
Edmonds is agitating in Washington,
provides for the establishment of a
luud to be divided between thc States
and territories according their popula
tion of children of school age. Certain
conditions arc laid down, the non-fulfilment
of which will debar the State
from receiving its shares. The fund
is to be supported by appropriating one
half of the net cash proceeds from the
sale, entry of location, or other disposi
tion of public lauds. This will bo in
vested iu United States five per cent
bonds, and will be held in trust by the
Treasurer of the United States, the
iuterost to be divided as above describ
ed. The bill vf as presented last Jau
nary iu substantially the same form as
now.
No Extra Session of tub Ver
mont Lkgislaturs. The following is
n copy of Governor Peck's letter
announcing the facta that ba has ooiv
eluded not to convene the Legislature
of Vermont iu special session :
John N. Baxter, Esq., Chairman
Excutive Committee:
Dear Sir: After having considered
the subject of a special session of the
Legislature in all its aspects, to the
best of my judgaraent, I Lave come
to the conclusion not to make the
call for such session. As it would
fcttt vo no beneficial purpose to attempt
&u set forth tho various considerations
whioh have weighed in my mind for
and against convening the Legisla
ture, I deem it stillicient to make
known the result. I hope the failuro
of this proposed means of aiding in
the exhibition of tho industries nnd
resources of tho Stata at the coming
centennial, such ns the credit of the
State demands, will not lead to tho
abandonment of the end sought to be
accomplished.
Uespectfully and very truly yours.

W.MiiiNiTox, I). C. Jan. 25, 1876.
There ought to be a law panned for the
protection of Coiijfressnieii, ikt the pen
alty tor a violation ought in every in
itance Ik that the ott-tuter should serve
;rt lsast oue term in CbM-srresa. The leirnl
with the calls that arc m ule upon the rep-
resentatives, must conclude that such is J
not the view of "the dear people." It Is
vftvtly nni'islng to s4t In a Senator's or
Member's room during the morning. Ills
mail is brought in; it contains. all the pa
pers of his political parties, published in
his district, ami each paper generally con
tains about a column of advice, telling
the poor devil what bills he phould intro
duce, and how hi should vote upon those
of others hence thc letters, from tweuty
to hundred every day, and upon every
conceivable subject. One man wants a
place, another a pension, another a patent,
aud t 111 another some claim looked after.
Thc M. C, or I. S. S., must attend to all
these things, and answer all the letters,
or be denounced as ungrateful and lazy.
But thc visitors of every day, ding-a-ling,
goes the bell, and iu comes some fellow,
whom the member does not kuow from
Adam's off ox, and modestly requests
that he be accompanied to the President,
or one of the Secretaries, and put Into a
place. Ouce njferc the signal sounds, and
the rustle of fcarments tells you one of
the feminines arc abouc to appear. She
e iters, is shown to a seat, aud produces
an envelope full of testimonials from
some one the member never heard of, tes
tifying that the bearer ought to be appoint
ed to a good clerkslup'mthe Treasury, or
elsewhere. She is persistent and posi
tive, and the poor fellow has to make an
appointment to accompany her to some
secretary and sea what he can do. There
goes the bell again, and in walks, with a
doprcssed gait and a slightly clerical ap
pearance, an effigy on manhood, who has
some begging schemo on hand, that "every
member of our nation's councils should
encourage by subscribing t6, sir." Again,
the door swings open, aud some vaga
bond, who once knew the member's wife's
aunt's second cousin, comes In, and with
drawing the victim to his private room,
with a long prerogative, setting forth the
reasons which have rendered a step nec
essary, asks the loan ot a lew uonars
Aud so it goes, day after day, uutil the
uufortunate member is about ready to
take the advice of Job's friond, and would,
did not the reasons so well set forth by
the crazy Dane restrain him. Some law
should be passed relieving Congressmen
from these evils j perhaps an enactment
that they should not receive either letters
or visitors during thc entire session of
Congress would accomplish the object.
The week from the 17th to 22nd, inclu
sive, has been spent by the House In dis
cussing the centennial appropriation. Po
litical or sectional lines do not control
this discussion. All the speeches made
against it are apologies for not voting in
favor of it becauSe the speakers do not
think the Constitution gives the power to
make the appropriation. Some of the
Members entrench themselves behind
that instrument an every occasion, aud
either side can prove whatever is wanted
of it. Thc Senate has also had a discus
sion, but so far it is only onc-sided Sen-
ttor Morton has been speaking on his
Mississippi resolution, and has not yet
concluded his argument. It is said that
Senator Gordon will reply to Morton, lu
which event Alcorn of Mississippi, pro
poses to take a hand. Christ iancy of
Michigan, will present a substitute, thc
nature of which is not know a.
The celebrated Hot Springs case, iu
velvlng the title la the Hot Springs of
Arkansas, is now being argued before the
Supreme Court. Thc contest Is between
three different claimants, and our much
beloved uncle Samuel, with the odds in
favor of the latter. Several of the lead
ing lawyers of the country arc engaged
in thc case.
Two hundred Indiana editors, with
their wives, who have been visiting tlu:
centennial grounds, came here and culled
upon the President, aud at thc Capitol;.
they have been kindly received, eutertaiu
ed aud spokeu of, here, in Philadelphia,.
and iu New York, except by the New
York World, which paper of the 20th
"goes for them" iu most savage style.
The much talked of "Spanish Note'
has been published iu full : it lis three
columns of the National Republican. It
is in the shape of a letter from Secretary
ffish to Caleb Cushing, our minister to
Spain, nnd after recapitulating the condi
tion of affairs in Cuba for the past seven
years, the treatment of citizens of the
Uuited States by the Cuban authorities,
the friendly action of this government to
Spain, aud the necessity, demanded by
humanity and because of our interests in
the afTulrs of Cuba, Secretary Fish says
of the President :
"In the absence of any prospect of a
termination of the war, or of any change
in the manner in which it has been con
ducted on either side, he feels that the
time Is at hand when it may be the duty
f other Governments to interfere, sole
ly with the view of bringing to an end a
disastrous and destructive conflict aud of
restoring peace in tile Island of Cuba.
No Government is more Interested in the
order aud peaceful administration of this
island than is that of the United States,
aud none has suffered as has the Uuited
States from the condition which has ob
tained there during the past sir or seven
years. He will therefore feel it his duty
at an early day to submit the sulycet in
this light, and accompanied by an expres
sion of the views above presented for the
consideration of Congress.
This conclusion is readied with reluct
ance and regret. It is reached after
every other expedient hits beeu attempted
and proved a failure, aud In the firm con
viction that the period has at last arrived
when no other course remain for this
OnvornmAiir
trovcrninout.
This would seem to Indicate "business.
The Foreign news is of no particular
interest, except in regard to Turkiah af.
fairs. Everybody and bis wife aud his
uhildren have heard of the hired man
who said "he liked hanli for forty o,r fifty
days, but uot for steady diet." That man
exactly described my views on "Turkish
affairs." Everyday something is cab'ed
over about "Turkish affairs," until thc
mcrmiil'lx. If thy hnT lspp'-d the v

They doubtle understand what is meant
by "Turkish affair.-," Ixtt uo clvillr.ed

ed in that phrase. It is more unexplaln
able than the situation of Arkausas poli
tics last year. A well-dressed and rather
good-looking man was heard to say on
the avenue to another person, "I will ex

lice as n dangerous lunatic who had es

The Student of Upsala.
An incident from Swedish life.
ELMO wn.nwoou.
In the pleasant public ways
Of tiM:ihl, years ago,
Whose jets still rine in silver sprays,
And where frothing waters flow,
A g roup of students gathered there,
On a shining summer's day;
Sabbath stillness iu thc air.
Save the joyous fountain's play.
Sunday morn; when passing by,
Came a quiet, happy throng;
Froken of the mild blue eye,
Of the voice like thrush's song.
The regent's daughter led the trnln
With attendants near at hand;
Murmurs blending like the rain
Itan round that student baud.
for never face of modest mien,
Or loveliness bevonri compare,
Was ever like fair I'rokcn's seen,
lu t'psala's gardens rare.
Retiringly a student stood
A lone widow's son, und poor,
In ar dren.y, thoughtful mood,
And tn seorcl Kauken'a wooer.
As she passed, what mood was this?
The boy's passion had run wild.
He challenges who dares, to kiss
The stern regent's favored child.
Then a sprig of noble stock
Took the banter with a leer;
Shrank the group like a cur-pent flock.
As the regent's train drew near.
Tho widow's sn with manly blush,
Boldly stepped to Ki-okmi' hide;
Fell a dcop and breathless hush
As each eye the movement spied.
Thn with frank but modest tone
Calmly spoke in phrase like this:
""Poor, a fortune I should own,
If Froken's lips I might but kiss.."'
JMuthlng then tho nuiM replied.
If such be Iruo thc-boon were- light ,
Received the kissPa might a bride.
With a htrlf-ooy,. girlish fright.
All unconscious now of wrong,
Slowly paM;d beyond the sight;
The-students stood, a gtiiltv throng,
Pule as ghosts that walk the night.
Morrow came,, nnd summons stem
From the castle on the height;
Mandate boldest dared not spurn,
And too late unthought of flight.
Confronted there, thc student met
The grim old regent, lace to face;
Modest phrase and neatly set
Served him well in his disgrace.
Frankly he told his story through,
Nothing glossed and naught concealed;
The regent's eye more kindly grw,
And a tinge of mirth revealed.
In truth the student's manly brow
And a nameless noble air
Inly pleased him; nnd he now,
In some mood as kind as rare,
Hade him come as oft hi) would,
When the castle's clock struck noon,
To mingle at the festive board,
An equal, as a spcsiul boon.
When was folly e'er so crowned !
Arrant boldness when so paid I
E'er a twelve-mouth whevled around
His bride, the regent's child ws made.

Jfr. AVdor:
Attended miuirat convention at Littleton Uie
other evening-, ftuceeu. Krurybsdy eeoMxl de
lighted. Chorus large ud wU trained. Barna
bee serenely TesUvc at ever. Ecttacy ai-emcd to
be the thing, ao, waded in with my sweetest smile
uutil all the young ladies gszod at aw, iu speU
bound admiration, and the Management begged
me not to break up the concert. I didn't. The
performance opened with a chortii by the con
vention. Then fullovrcJ that familiar, operntie
solo, commencing:
"Yaw, bnw, claw, spraw, chew, now, spew,
mew," (ns drawu by your special artint on the
pot ) The poetry is slightly trite but still it Is
one f Uie most soul-rending things I ever listen
ed to. Didn't Uiink to, intuitively but when at
the singer winged her daring flight away up into
the ethereal influences of her themo (if she had
any) I saw old, gray men and woincu laughing,
crying and wringing their bands like maniacs-
men and women who, to 'my certain knowledge,
couldn't tell Yankee Doodle from the doxology
nnd had no more ear for music than a boiled lob
ster. I w touched and couldn't tnpprcss my
emotion. I told ilfc.ISariugton through my tears
that I had never beeu so frightfully magnetized
in all my life. Why, said I, throwing a kiss at
my optratic enchantress, its unearthly, celestial,
divine, 8ti)er "Itcrt," said Mrs. Itarington, "did
you bring that pan of doughnut iu out of the
buttery, and put it into the sitting-room oven, ns
I told you to, before we came away?" That took
all the magnetism out of ma in a twinkling; for I
had forgotten the doughnuts, knew they would be
frozen harder than tamarack burs when we got
back, aud having thrse babies under each arm, I
shouldn't gut there enough in advance of Mrs.
Barington to thaw thc doughnuts out for lunch er
sea that Uie tongs, store wood and broomsticks
were not temptingly conspicuous to that remark
able woman; s I asked her candidly, if she
thought I hadn't intellect enough to keep a pan
of doughnuts from freezing. If she did, I would
like to conveife with her about it, some time. By
the way, Mr. Kditor, is it absolutely necessary
for a line singer to unmercifully stretch her
mouth from car to ear or from upper jaw to col
lar bone, insulate her brain, lay her under lip
down on to her throat, rotl her upper lip up against
the bridgo of her nose, slide the crown of her
scalp backward and forward, stare, sU-ia, wi iti.e
and twist herself seven ways at once, ns if she
felt a frightened grasshoppar crawling down her
back? I don't say that anybody evar did the
like, but is it necessary? If it isn't, 1 hope our
cultured vocalists will fall Into tho way of llrst
singing f'eir pieces and then doing the lingual
cartwheels andgymnastiegriniacesfortliey don't
mix, worth a cent. How much mora sensible it
would be for the little star to riso calmiy above
the musical horizon of the evening, make faces at
the audience awhile and then sober down to busi
ness. I'm a stout constitutionalist, and if these
facial lunacies nre not laid down in the scale, the
sooner thc innovation is remanded to tho shad
owy realms of burnt cork, the better. Thc con.
cert was a good one, but still, I think it would
bear popularising a little, I'm going to scold a
little about it, anyway. Io all my scolding in the
day-time, and am trying- to train my daughters
ap in the great principle, though Mi-d. Barington
claims that scolding is an inalienable maternal
inheritance, and that the daylight mind is too
much diverted by mundane considerations to do
justice to it. But I was about to say, that these
concerts are a shad too high-toned to thrill,
tickle nnd content the average ear, anil as they
nre mainly supported by us everyday mortals
who dont know n stave from a sack of salt, bat
who can nevertheless, enjoy the simple melodies
of the song, chorus and ballad, I think the man
ngement should consider its preference on our
part, and loivor its wing to us more often
don't mean to deprive musical connoisseurs of
the pleasure which they derive from the more
artistic and difficult parts of the performance,
but I do claim that after the singors have given
them their share, fully displayed their aesthetic
ivarblings nud dulled the envious quill nnd
tongue of criticism, they ought to come down to
the sphere of mortal comprehension and cheer
up the groundlings a bit. Its well enough to talk
about educating us musical numbskulls up to
their standard, nud all that; but most ot us pay
our money for the pUusuro of tho evening with
out any thought of musical schooling and if we pay
four-fifths of the bills, we ought to be entitled to
nt leat one-half of the performance. This heav
enly jargon of operatic pastry is delicious to the
rclincd tooth, and enough of it is very pleasant to
the popular palate, but it is too swoet for a steady
diet. Your concert was an exoellcnt one, ladies
and gentlemen, but I think it would be better if
you would give us more son js and ballads, spiced
with n generous sprinkling of Barnabee aud or-
chestrul accompaniment, with the opera ou a
separate plate. Try it, please.
It was very cold the other morning, about day.
light, when the mayor was aroused lVom his class
ic dreams by n loud knock on the door. Visions
of trampt nnd spectral shadows from an adja
cent graveyard swept across his oceanic intellect,
hut a second and louder knock brought him out
of bed nnd to the door. It was bitter cold, you
kuow, and as the mayor was arrayed in Adnmic
simplicity, which means nlght-cnp, shirt nnd car
pet slippers, be was not in a frame of mind to
stand in that arctic draft and discuss abstract
mercantile theories. When ha opened the door,
who stood there but young Proctor, a queer little
nine-year-old, with ills father's aoots on, stuffed
with Ave pairs of stockings; a big waterproof
drawn up over his head nnd nn old, 70 flint lock
gun on his shoulder, the bare weight of which
made his knees buckle under him. You infernal
little rascal, what are you hero for at this time of
night? chattered the onragod mayor. Don't you
buy skins? taid the gamin. Yes; what of It? said
the mayor, warhttng a little, at the thought of
percentage. Io you buy wolfskins? continued
young Nimrod. Yes; where is your skin? quick
now, I'm. freezing. What is a bully wolf skiu
going nt now, cup'n? snid the little hector
C dum it, I can't fool with jouhei'o all night.
Where is your skin ? Bring U in aud, your money
is ready. Well, returned the- little cuss, I alnt
got no wolf skin witli me, but I'm going gunnin,
ycr know,, and I thought if I shot a wolf, I would
as soon sell It to. you ais anybody. I've never ben
gunnirt afore, but I'm goin this morning, and if
I get a wolf I'll About that time young Proctor
might have been seen waltzing Uowu the front
walk, followed by a choice selection of parlor
furniture, aud the mayor is down with chronic
chills, rheumatism, spinal mcningotis and inter

cial adversity. The mayor has done a thriving
business in furs ibis. winlr, but he now gives no
tice that If anybody says fur to him till ho gets

to be, now in his war to sxnc foreign

Jlr. Winslow was vers widely known,
not only from his newspaper connection,
but as a very active business man and
politician, aud is now likely to become
famous ns a most successful scoundrel,
as it now appears thnt thc money with
which he !nst year bought the Boston
Post, nnd with w hich he has kept up
his other business, was obtained on
forged notes, of which nearly five
iiuudrcd thousand dollars are afloat.
It is ouly a few weeks since the ele
gant house in which he lived, and
which was insured for $17,000, was
burned under suspicious lircumstnnccs,

As the drop of water falleth
On the ocean, vast, unknown;
As the withered, rain. wet leaflet
1'roin some forest tree is blown ;
So, man passeth to the shadow
And the silence of the tomb.
Oh! this life so strange and fleeting!
Yet so lasting, strong and brave,
Full of hope and pleasant greeting,
Dark with shadows as the grave
Passing on, nt last, nnd meeting
With the mighty tiod who gave.
All do know ol human sorrow,
And its fearful cups they drain,
Fearing oil some coming morrow
Kre its burdens corno again.
And the heart no longer joyous
Quivers oltentiius with puiu.
Yet to each, perhaps is given
Some dear hope no other knows,
Bright beneath tho smile of Heaven
borne Bweet flower of pjomis grows,
And the darkened cloud is riven
Where the golden sunlight glows.
And each one however lowly
Has the loving Father's cure.
And as circling years move slowly
And the iigos onward bear,
And as infinite and holy.
He is with them where they are
What shall we in the hereafter
Think of all this busy life?
Think of all its joy and sadness,
All its ceaseless toil and strife?
Looking at it from the calmness
Of our own eternal life.
Weill here is an obituary as Is an obitu
ary, lu the Indianapolis Herald :
He was a man who had hosts of warm
friends, and his death will be sincerely
regretted. While deploring his utiinely
end, kowever, we must not forget that he
was oue of that dangerous class of gen
ial swludlers whose loose Ideas of right
and wrong have done so much towards
making us a nation of thieves. An un
mitigated rogue, wholly bud in everything
Is much less dangerous than a man who
coolly perpetrates the most monstrous
frauds, aud yet is not lacking in those vir
tues which make his fellow-men love him.
Lucius W. Pond the Worcester forger
was arraigned ou Tuesday and pleaded
guilty to a portion of the charges against
him. He was sentenced to fifteen years
imprisonment.

doesn't remember.
The fearful effect of printing business
notices and obituaries In the local column,
s thus shown by a Georgia paper : "Away
front the land of her birth and the loved
of her youth she met the relentless con
queror, bowed her lovely head to his
stroke. Other hands smoothed the long,
brown tresses; other fingers closed the
blue eyes aud folded the gentle hands up
on the peaceful, sinless bosom."

.VEGETABLE SICILIAN
HAIR
RENEWER.
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable llair i'rqiaration ;
which is due to merit alone. Wo
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is thc only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gkay
ok Fadf.d Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prp,
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishei
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baMncss, it restores tho capillary
glandit to their normal vigor, and
will create' a new growth, except in
extreme oht age. It is the most eco
nomical Ham: Dressing over used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, JVI IX,
Stato Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The const ituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it thc Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes."
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medieinei.

FOR THE WHISKERS.
As our lienewer in many cases
requires too long a time, and too
much care, to restore gray or faded
Whiskers, we have prepared this
dye, in one preparation ; which will
quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. It is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by
all Druggists. Price Fifty Cents.
