Mr. Richard Croker flu* widely known Tammany democrat, was a guest of Senator Morphy this week. He said that lie only ran over to Washington for a rest and a change, hut there was probably considerable New York politics in the long talks In had with Senator Murphy. The Welsh M onitor remai ks : Just as Briinn says, "it is too late in the eeritory to snppiess truth with six shooters." A mob ot newspaper wreckers cam« to grief in Ohio the other day. and two of them were per forated with buckshot. The editor still lives, and his paper will appear 1 at the usual time. There are reasons for believing that there are a sufficient number of re publican Senators who will refuse to reverse their previous votes against the right of a governor to appoint a Senator after tv legislature has failed to elect when it had an opportunity, to make it certain that Mr. Corbeir will not be given that Oregon vacan cy, even if a majority of the commit tee on Elections ami Privileges reports in iiis favor, as if probably will. This has been a reil-letler week, indeed, in the career of Senator Dan iel, of Va., who lias been chosen to succeed the late Senator Harris, of Tenn . as a member of the Senate committee on Financ". and unani mously reelected to the Senate by the Va. legislation. Two such honors seldom comes to any man in a single week, and it is not surprising that Senator Daniel should be overwhelm ed with some congratulations jon his good fortune. An attempt i* to be made fo hare the House and Senate Indian commit tees agree on legislation for Indian Territory, but inasmuch as the Senate Committee has already agreed to a bill for apportionment ot tli« lands of the live civilised tribes, it looks as though that means merely an attempt to get the House Committee to accept the bill of the Senate Committee, which is supported by the Dawes Commission and opposed by the re presentatives of the Indians. Although the National Board of Trade, which held its annual session in Washington this week, changed the time for holding its annual meet ings from January or Febuary to December for the avowed purpose of influencing Congress, its members must be fully convinced of the im possibility of getting the gold legis lation they, in common with Secrcta r.v Gage and his side partners of the "monetary conference", are trying to secure Horn the present Congress. The fight for ami against the civil service is bow on, aud when congrsss reassembles it is expected that it will bo waged fiercely in the halls of the national legislature. It is pub licly asserted that the President notwithstanding the strong utterances in favor of the law contained in his recent message, is weakening per ceptibly anti may soon resell the point wlieie Barkis'll be willing. The republicans nt'tlie House should be held responsible for their failure to save the $1,000,000 or $1,500 000 a year which Representative Bingham asserted could in the opinion of himself and his colleagues on the Appropria tion committee be saved by the re duction ot extravagant salaries paid to clerks in the departments.

For the Boys. Two men stood at the same table in a large factory in Philadelphia, working at the same trade. Having an hour for their nooning every day, each under took to use it in accomplishing a defi nite purpose; each persevered for about the same number of months, and each won success at last. One o' these two mechanic ; used his daily leisure hour in w orking out the invention of a machine for sawing a block of wood into almost any desired shape. When his invention was complete, he sold the patent for a fortune, changed his work man's apron for a broadcicth suit, and moved out of a tenemeut-house into a brown stone mansion. The other man what did he doV Well, he spent an hour each dev during most of a vear in the very difficult undertaking of torch ing a little (leg to stand on his land feet and dance a jig. while he played the tune. At last accounts he was working ton hours a day at the samo trade and at his old wages, and finding fault with the fate that made Iris fellow workman rich while leaving him poor. Leisure minutes may bring golden grain to mind as well as purse, if one harvests wheat instead of chaff. — Wide A o n At. Old Clocks. The old brass clocks went only thirtv hours, and were set in motion by a | weight attached to a chain which passed ■ over a sheave having soikes in the | groove, a\ hich caught in the links of the chain and required to be drawn up every day. On the introduction of the long pendulum, clocks seemed to have assumed a different character. Catgut was substituted for the chain, and bar rels were : 'ro.bned on which the cat gut was wound up, and a greater length of line being employed, clocks were made to go for ciglit days instead of thirty hours, and a chime of belts plac ing every quarter of an hour was often added; tno weights and long pendulum hung down, and, as there was danger of their action being interfered with, tall wooden cases were made to protect ttiem. This was the origin of the tall, upright clock cases, which were often made of ornamental woods and .u riched with line marquetry. Theesrlier cases wer ■ made of oak and walnut, tlio mahogany cases being of the follow ing century, when that word was in troduced. A Family Jar. "Yes," says Mrs. Gunkettle, a-s she •panked the baby in her calm, motherly way, "it's a perfect shame, Mr. G.,that you never bring me home anything to read! I might as well be shut up in a lunatic asylum." "I think so, too," responded the un feeling man. "Other people," continued Mrs. Gun kettle, as she gave the baby a marble to swal mv to top its noise, "have mag azines till they can't rest'" "There's one," 3aid Mr. G.. throwing a pamphlet on the table. "Oh, yes; a horrid old report of the fruit interests of Michigan; lots of news in that!" and she sat down on the baby with renewed vigor. Tm sure it's plumb full of currant news of the latest dates," said the mis erable man, Mrs. Gunkettle retorted that she wouldn't give a tig for a whole library of such reading, when 'apple-lv the baby shrieked loud enough to drown all other sounds, and p-aoe was at once restored.- -Detroit h e Press. The Arab and His Horse.— Tht Arabians never beat their horse*; they never cut their tails; they treat them gently; they speak to them and seem to hold a discourse; they use them as friends; they never attempt to increase their speed by the whip, or spur them, but in cases of great necessity. They never fix them to a stake in the fields, but suffer them to pasture at large around their habitations: and they come running the moment they hear the sound of t'leir master's voice. Inconse quence of such treatment these animals become docile and tractable in the highest degree. They resort at night to their tents, and lie down in the midst of tiie children, without even hurting them in the slig ite t manner. The little boys and girl- ere oft. n s eu upon the in>ily or neck of the marc, while the beasts continue inoffensive and harmless, permitting them to play With and caress them without iniurv.

In one of liis letters to his sister hi says, expressing a momentary high feeling: "Oh, there is nothing like fint i weather, and health, and books, and • i contented niiml, and diligent habits ot I leading aud thinking, and an amulet against the enemies, and ph ase heaven. | 4 little claret wine out of a collar a mile deep—with a few, or a good manv, rate* j fia cakes—a rocky basin to l athe in;" j and he enunciates much else, tapering j off into a series of rollicking whims, and j ending with alniut thirtv—ix lines of : doggerel rhyme. But Keats always | had a breezy way of rattling off his ! wishes aud feelings in his correspond* [ cnee, of which we will give but ono more sample. It is from one of the letters to h;s sister written from Win* Chester. He says: "I should like now to promenade round your gardens! ?)— apple-tasting, pear-tasting, plum-judg* ing, apricot-nilibling, peach-scrunch* ing, nectarine-sucking, and melon-oarv* ing. I have also a great feeling for an* tiqualed cherries, full of sugar-cracks —and a white currant tree, kept for company. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond, to eat wliit® currants and see gold-fish, and go to the fair in tlir- evening, it' I'm good. 1 here is not hope for that—one is suro to get in some mess before the even* ing.

None of the boys answered, but ths smallest boy in the class snapped his lingers and said: "I've forgot what Cain said, but 1 know he sussed ths Lord back ."—Terns Sifting*.
