How Music Effects Them.
New York Journal.
"Oh, . come now, I can't beleive
that," returned the reporter. "Nor
could I," returned the oyster dealer,
cooly, "until some years ago. I had
some men on a sloop on Long Is
land Sound dredging. About 7
o'clock on a warm April evening the
crew had finished their work and
were lying about the deck. The
cook, to amuse them, picked up his
violin and commenced the captain's
gong from "Pinafore." "What!"
shrieked the dismayed reporter. "I
told you this was some years ago,"
continued the ovsterman. "Try to
imagine the crew's surprise when,
suddenly, the surface of the waters
around them was filled with oysters,
all of them with their shells wide
open and all of them making for the
boat." "I don't wonder at it," said
the reporter. "They certainly had
great provocation," returned the
Fulton market man, "but I'll give
you visible proof of what I say;"
and picking up an accordion he led
the way to a basket of Shrewsburys
and commencek to play "Sweet Vio
lets." The result was astonishing.
Instantly almost every one of the
shells was opened and the bivalves
made the most violent efforts to get
out of the basket at the player.
Different tunes affected different
oysters. The Blue Points seemed
to dislike the old ballad, "Wilt Thou
Not Open for Me?" the Shrewsburys
the song, "Be Not Silent and Sad."
"You see," said the oysterman,
"that what I said is true. Oysters
are susceptible to music, but here's
the secret of it; they only open their
shells because thev want to bite the
musician."

Favorable News From Liberia.
From the Charleston News.
Jack Smith, of Montgomery, Ala.,
went to Liberia last year, taking his
wife and children with him. lie is
living at Brewerville, and has writ
ten a letter to some of .his folks, in
which he says: "You need not
listen to the many lies you hear
about Africa, saying that yellow
people cannot live here. It is all
false; thev do as Avell as black ones.
The citizens say they do better. Be
you assured that Africa is the home
of the colored man, and you will
solve the problem sometime or an
other. Here we have our 200,000,-
000 of native population, which
needs all your negroes to civilize
them. You will please remember
that we are not worrying over the
thoughts of civil rights bill or any
other bill. But we are in our own
free country, where we have all the
benefits of the law and citizenship.
1 am in Africa. I have land enough
to make my money off of when I
want to come to America. My five
children have their 10 acres of land
each, and my wife and I have 25,
which suffices us."
.
Learning AVistloin.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A peasant who had seven daugh
ters wearing out sole leather for him
went to the cave of a wise old duffer,
and besought his advice as to how
to brini1 them up.
"Mavcy them off as soon as possi
ble, anil you can then break up
housekeeping and go boarding among
them."
After a few months the father re
turned to the cave, aud his phiz had
such a lonesome expression that the
wise man cried out.
"Ah, you must follow my advice
to learn wisdom!"
"The trouble is that I did fol
low it, but instead of having seven
places to board around at I have
seven sons-in-law to board on me."
MORAL.
However, the peasant had the
wisdom.
.
How -often do men build better
than they know. In Philadelphia
the other day, a wrathful citizen
hurled an iron bootjack from a
fourth-story window at a maddening
organ grinder, and knocked a Street
Commissioner into the gutter. Thus
oftentimes a noble aim will round
out the humblest actions of our lives
into a fulness of glory and merit
that places us at once on easy and
familiar footing with the angles.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
WasliiiiRtoii, 1. C
A REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER DEVOTED
iv solely to the interests of the party and
the nation. Its editorial columns are devoted
almost entirely to national, political, and local
matters, all subjects being viewed from a
broad, liberal party standpoint and treated in
dependently, without regard or favor to per
sons or factions.
The news columns contain full and accurate
reports ot all matters at the capital, tog-ether
with general telegraphic news, special lette-s
from a large corps of correspondents at homo
and abroad, reports being made without color
or bias, the sole aim and object being in every
case, from the smallest to thr greatest, to give
the facts in the most convenient and attrac
tive shape for all classes of readers.
The euilorial page is vigorously and uncom
promisingly republican: the news columns are
as unbendingly independent.
Much of the space of the weekly edition of
The Republican will be given up to the news
of the capital, but there will be in addition
carefully selected stories and miscellaneous
matter of general interest. Each issue will
contain
Full and careful reports of the proceedings
of congress when in session.
Appointments by the president.
Executive messages, aud all interesting news
from the executive departments.
Abstracts of all laws passed.
Treaties with Indians and foreign nations.
All information from the office of the comi
troller of the currency of interest to banks
and bankers.
Weekly statements of the treasury.
Killings of the customs and internal revenue
departments.
fecial information for manufacturers.
aluable statistics from the statistical bu
reau of the treasury.
Full reports from the agricultural bureau.
Lists of patents issued, with rulings of the
patent office.
Information in regard to public lands.
Consular reports.
News from the pension office.
Educational matters.
Interviews with the most prominent men of
the nation, most of whom visit the capital
more or less frequently, on politics, art,
science, etc.
In short. The Weekly Republican will con
tain a vast amount of interesting reading for
every citizen of fhe nation, which it will give
more fully and in greater variety than by any
other paper in the country. It will be a paper
which the readers of other weekly, and even
daily, papers will feel they cannot afford to
be without. It is a paper for the ieople, and
will be fouiKl to lie worth many times the
price of subscription to the farmer, the me
chanic, the railway man, the banker, the nian
ulacturer, the politician in fact toeverybodv.
