I feel so much relieved th:it I presume oo our per

you take sonic mo rnres to get It more prominently
before the public, that others may have snch relit f

metticir hl&U estimate of its value and good effect
wita tl:rni.
I really thfnlc it particularly adapted to wants of

A Writer in the Philadelphia Times
strikes two senators on the cars no
names given and this is what they
think of things :
HAYES LEFT ALONE.
I tnink he is disappointed. The li
ars who flattered him into his policy
have disappeared. -Hayes would make
a square back-down if he could, but he
has no body to help him. The Repub
licans, ninety-live per cent of them,
have quit hi in, and the Democrats
faugh at hiiu. The Washington IStar
publishes each evening a Iiat of persons
who call on the President. For four
months nobody of any note has been
there. Lauiiir, Hill, Gordon, all con
ciliators have shaken him. No lead
ing republicans visit him. A lot of
political heats and place hunters have
taken the place in calling. The situa
tion, as fair as the republicans are con
cerned, is much worse than Johnson's
time. Hayes was a country politician
of the ordinary grade, had been gover
of the state with nothing to do. Each
two years we retire a governor in the
38 states, so the place ain't much. He
didn't know the public men. He
was simply a green country horse on
a course that required a thoroughbred
well trained and handled. The Sher
mans and Evarts and Matthews and
poor Charley Foster made a little pool
to handle him. Thty surrounded him,
boxed him up, saw his weak spots,
pandered to them ; made him believe
he was a second Washington, and
scooped him in. A president never
hears the truth from his flatterers.
EVARTS AND INOERSOLL.
Evarts is a moro of a political fraud
than Schurz and more dangerous, be
cause more ignorant ot politics. He is
Hayes' evil genius. Never saw him?
Well, he looks like an antique just out
of a frame. His nose and chin meet.
He's as yellow as saffron. He don t
walk there isn't enough of him to
walk he glides. He'd clean the whole
company at a cake-walk. Hob Inge -soil
closed him up once. The Illinois
delegation, at the request of Evarts,
recommended Ingersoll for Berlin.
Tney telegraphed bini to come to
Washington. He came; waited four
days; Evarts gave no sign. Ingersoll,
with Senator Ogleby, called one morn
ing, lie said: 'Mr. Secretary, I under
stand, at your request, The Illinois
delegation named me for the mission
to Germany. "Yes, yes.' said Evarts,
'I am considering your name.' WhatV
shrieked Ingersoll, 'you d you, you
have the impudence to tell me that
such a thing as you are considering my
name. I with-draw any suggestion of
my name. When I get so low as to
permit you to consider my name for
an office 111 let you know. Good
morning sir.'
FUNNY, BUT NO JOKE.
"Let me tell you something funny.
You will never hear it, perhaps, but as
I tell you. Evait is running for pres
ident. D it, don't explode. Stop
laughing. It's so. I know it. He
says so. If he was running for dog
catcher at the High Bridge lie couldn't
get a vote.
SCHURZ.
"Schurz is simply a fraud. God Al
mighty never put such a leering, disa
greeable, insinuating face on a man
without intending it as a warning to
keep off. He is the rediscovery of
Hayes. Xo person but Hayes would
have resurrected him. He handles
Hayes adroitly. He is so humble but
he always has a friend, such a 'pure
man,' and if necessary can find a hun
dred. Schurz is devilish shrewd. . The
president made an appeintment in
Schuiz's depsrtment Schurz krpt still,
went to the senate and defeated the
confirmation. When Schurz gets out
of Hayes cabinent he will either go to
keeping a communistic beer shop, edit
a German newspaper, or compile sta
tistics for the German side of Ayer's
almanac. He's got a cool $100,000 salt
ed down. He's always been well paid
for his eloquent efforts in behalf of
the cause. The dew drops of eloquence
you have heard from his sweet Ger
man accent cost S100 for each and
every dose. Republican committees
had to have him, his influence was
held on the Dutch.' Then again he
has been a political reformer, never
been without an ofBce or place since
Lincoln was weak enough "to give him
an office in 1871.
"Devens?" Oh, he's a pretty good
sort of fellow personally. There have
been three or four noticeable weak
men in that office within the past 25
years, but he is the poorest lawyer we
have ever had there, and in political
matters he has a 'mission;' lie contin
ually talks about 'the people, about
whom he knows as ranch as a child
does of the kingdom.' A man with a
mission and the chronio diarrhoea are
the same thing. Key did you ever see
full of good food and he's your man.
He took the postoilice department at a
great disadvantage. You know Tyner?
I Key appoints the postmasters south

runs itself because they have a force of
able subs. Key was expected to elec
trify die old whigs and lead an inde
pendent party in the south. He's do
ing the last. Dan Key, and perhaps
a son, are the only members of the par
ty iu sight. He left his influence the
moment he went into Hayes cabinet.
Thompsou? Oh, he's so awful good.
Dick Thompson has been engaged in
politics since 1834. He's one of the
new men Hayes' promised to bring in
to politics in his letter to Foster.
When Hayes term is up the navy will
be in worse condition than any other
except Schurtz's. If ever you swap
horses with Richard get somebody to
go along with you. Two men at least
can be kept busy watching him on a
trade. Did you ever notice that Chi
nese mandarin years ago in a tea store
in Canal street? It bobbed its head
to everybody; it tried to please every
bodj That's Hayes' and his cabinet,
and so they will go on to the end. Do
I think
GRANT WILL BE ELECTED
again by the republicans? Yes, I do.
When he comes back and is received
by the people, maybe you will learn
what a reception means. Arrange
ments are being considered for having
200,000 old soldiers in line and they
will carry banners, "Grant for Presi
dent." THOSE DESIGNING SHERMANS.
"John Sherman ain't a bad sort of a
man. He went into Congress in 1854.
and has never been out of a place since.
I do believe he is an honest man in pe
cuniary matters; and I believe he
wrote the Weber letter. There was
nothing in it out of order, and it was
due those ' fellows down south who
stood by the party. He's a good busi
ness man. There ain't five ounces of
cordiality in his entire carcass, and I
have doubs about one ounce of grati
tude. He ain't afraid of anybody or
thing, and with the exception of Mc
Crary he's the ablest man in the cab
inet. Yes,
M'CRARY IS OLD SOGGY.
His word is worth its weight in gold
and he's got brains. He won't stay
long in the cabinet. Iowa republicans
are dead against Hayes. McCrary has
a future, and a big one. He must get
away from Hayes or it will ruin him.
One thing queer he did. He caused (I
suppose Cuuipsey Sherman was at the
bottom of it) the list of battles of the
rebellion in which regiments had been
honorably engaged to be stricken from
the register. This he must explain or
the lowaus will sit down on him.'
PATENT REFORM.
"Yes! Civil service reform? Don't
take any reccoinmendation from con
gressmen, unless the congressman sus
tain the Dolicy and show cause. Did
you ever see Christiancy, of Michigan?
Mild-mannered old man, no hair on
the top of his head; snuffy-looking old
citizen ; rusty old clothes; an independ
ent. Oh, well, ho had the judgment to
slip into the Hayes party along with
the other two members, Mathews a .d
Burnside. Xow, when there are any
fat takes, he always finds a Michigan
man disengaged, and slips up to Hayes
in his quiet, greasy way, gets the last
word and gets his man in. Appoint
ing rebels to olliee? Yes, sir, every
hour. The treasury department and
agricultural bureau are being filled
with impecunious rebs.
"Yes, sir, the south is 'gwine to cccu
py the land. She will bo better off
than if the confedercy had succeeded,
because now sh will have a bigger
country to govern and a fuller treas
ury to empty. Let me tell you, the
southern people have pluck; they are
net northern dough-faces and dung
hills. If they ain't got the north cow
ed then grass ain't grass "
"Grand Central depot '."said a brake
man. And so ended the interview.
Forgot and Forgive.
We bury our youth, our health and
our strength; and we only come to grief
when we try to resuicitate the dead and
forget the chain of years that we have
forged between then and now. The
long walk, the day's hunting, the
night's dance, the cold bath, and the
half hour's swim, the imprudent food,
and the reckless exposure to the sun
and the rain, the wind and the snow
all these things are among the burie 1
dead of our possiblities, and we must
accept them as memories only, never
again to be living facts. And why not
bury the remem brance of past pains,past
enmities, of the quarrel that has been
verbally made up, the offence once of
fered and since atoned for? Some peo
ple never bury these things. They
say that they forgive, but they keep
their dead displeasure, as the dwarfs
kept Rosered's pretty body, with a glass
window in the coffin, by which they
could 1 -ok in and watch her whenever
I hey chose. iNo; there is no good in
that. Coffins with glass windows in
the mare a mistake. Let us bury the dead
things of life deep in good honest soil,
plant flowers on them, so that the place
where they lie shall not be barren nor
disfigured; make of each mistake, each
sad experience, a means for future
good and truth and beauty; and go on
always on till we come to the end,
when we ourselves shall be among the
dead and buried, some of us remain
ing as beantiful remembrances, ever
enshrined in honor and delight; some
of us standing out in the backward
vista, as but sorrowful mistakes, like
blind creatures who have missed their
way; or children of sorrow, brought up
under the hard tutelage of pain, and
never surfered to escape the hand of
that stern teacher, thatciuel monitor.

In the year 1S59 there was published
by Mr. Darwin a work on "The Origin
of Species by Means of Natural Selec
tion; or the Preservation of Favored
Races in the Struggle for Life." In this,
and in other subsequent works, it is
shown that the individuals of each
species tend to increase in a very rapid
ratio; an increase more rapid than that
of their means of subsistence. Each
has, therefore, to contend with his
competitors, and hence all must exhibit
a "struggle for existence." But modi
fications are incessantly taking place in
the form and characteristics of individ
uals, giving to some an advantage, to
some a disadvantage, as compared with
their competitors. Hence the former
will prevail, the latter will succumb in
the struggle. This, in the language
of the hypothesis, is formulated as
"the survival ol the fittest." Darwin
ism, therefore, does not touch the great
question as to the manner in which va
riation of organisms arises. It only
teaches how such variation are perpet
uated. Adventure with a Leopard.
Two African farmers, returning from
hunting the hartebeest, roused a leo
pard iu a mountain ravine, and imme
diately gave chase to him. The leopard
at first endeavored to escape by clam
bering up a precipice: but being hotly
pressed, and wounded by a musket ball,
he turned upon his pursuers with that
frantic ferocity peculiar to this animal
on such emergencies, and springing on
the man who had fired at him, tore him
from his horse to the ground, biting
him at the same time on the shoulder,
and tearing one of his cheeks severely
with his claws. The other hunter, see
ing the danger of his comrade, sprang
j&bm his horse and attempted to shoot
the leopard through the head; but,
whether owing to trepidation, or the
fear of wounding his friend, or the
quick motions of the animal, he unfor
tunately missed. The leopard, aban
doning his prostrate enemy, darted with
redoubled fury upon his second antag
onist, and so fierce and sudden was his
onset, that before the boor could stab
him with his hunting-knife, the savage
beast struck him on the head with his
claws, and actually tore the scalp over
his eyes. In this frightful condition
the hunter grappled with the leopard,
and struggling for life, they rolled to
gether down a steep declivity. Before
the man who had been firt attacked
could start to his feet and seize his gun,
they had fallen together down the bank.
In a moment he had reloaded his gun,
and rushed forward to save the life of
his friend. But it was too late. The
leopard had seized the unfortunate man
by his throat, and his comrade had only
the satisfaction of completing the de
struction of the beast, already exhaust
ed with the lo-s of blood from several
deep wounds by the knife of the expir
ing huntsaian. Penny Magazine.
Devonshire Bread.
The Devonshire fashion of making
bread, says an English paper, has a
smack of steaming about it, is extremely
dimple, and makes bread always well
cooked, and with less crust than Lon
don baker's bread usual.y has, since the
lire is made under, over, and around
the dough. This is done by inverting
an iron pot of a semi-globular form over
an iron plate, usually called a bakestone,
and the dough being inside rises to the
size and shape of the pot, the fire being
made with either straw or brushwood,
and the oven remains in the charcoal
embers until the bread is baked, flow
many country families would be glad
of such a bakery, and how impottant
to youths of Loth sexes who may have
to cook kangaroo and eat it with home-
baked Hour bread under other stars than
those which adorn our northern half of
the heavens! In the Devon bread the
poor country cottager may get an ex
cellent article, well suited to his cir
cumstances, baked at little cost with a
wisp of straw or stubble or a faggot of
brushwood, and in the case of the Cov
entry improvement the system is sug
gestive and the subject is o;ie that will
bear discussion; and when we read of the
French cooks having a hundred ways
of cooking eggs we need not wonder at
there being unequal number of ways
by which bread corn may be converted
by milling and cooking from mere grass
seed into loaves, cakes, and all kinds
of confectionery. The Devon system
confines the steam under the dome of
the oven while baking, and this has to
do with the crust being spread all over
the loaf and not at top and bottom only,
as in the London cube-shaped loaves.
I may name here that some housewives
bake the bread the last thing at night
and leave the loaf under the pot and
under the charcoal or burnt straw all
night, and with very poor people, of
which there is never any lack, this
would, no doubt, be economical, for I
have been told that before canals and
railroads came into existence among
us, bean straw was reckoned big timber
in some midland counties. It is praise
worthy for the farmer to grow his own
fuel, but the West-countryman makes
sad work with trimming trees to pro
duce faggot wood. The canal boat and
the railway truck have done for the
faggot business in the Xorth, but the
ashen faggot bound with three withes
is still brought in on holiday times, and
as the bands burn, another cup of cider
is served, amtil all three bunds have
given way amid much homely mirth
and clamorous compliments, wishing
master and missus many years of health
1'oaUry -Keeping by Hoys.
The Poultry World would give the
txys ;i c niiee in the interests and oc
cupationsof the farm, and recommends
in the article below, and very properly,
that the poultry yard should bo given
them in charge as an amateur field for
business experience:
It is one of the most promising indi
cations of character when a boy shows
a disposition to earn something. This
desire to hold something in fee-simple
is the very opposite of trampism.
Among boys, the enjoyment of owning,
buying and selling, is very keen, and
is often gratified in the getting of
knives, old watches and trinkets, and
making exchanges with each other.
Who does not remember the wonderful
dicker and trade of his boyhood? It
was only the beginning of a develop
ment, or, rather, a self-education. This
matter should not le permitted to go
without some guidance. Parents and
guardians should take an interest in it,
not exercising a meddling interference,
but inspiring confidence, so as to be
able to co-operate, plan and watch the
results.
Now comes a scheme that is just
right. How can we leach a hoy busi
ness habits better than by giving him
an opportunity to "run" a hennery?
The accounts must bo accurately kept;
there must be buying and selling; there
must be bantering; there ought to be
profit! A miniature business springs
up, and, inasmuch as it is real, why is
it not as good as a business-college? It
may be better; for it may prevent
spending time in the streets, or away
from home, perhaps among questiona
ble companions. A love of home is
fostered by the ownership of flowers,
small fruits and poultry. A fondness
for the finest things produced in our
climate to cultivate them, if belonging
to the vegetable kingdom; to bleed,
foster, and pet them, if belonging to
the animal is not only a source of keen
enjoyment, but indicates good traits
and a certain elevation of character
above that which is brutish. Young
people should be deftly guided, s'ep by
step, through pleasant paths, with here
and there a little job of earnest work,
made easy by social frolic and recrea
tion, which come after in their proper
place. With a little encouragement,
bos may become quite familiar with
the points of excellence in high-class
poultry, pigeons, and other pets, and
learn the best methods of breeding and
management.
They may learn when and where to
purchase supplies to the best advan
tage, nnd how to sell the surplus pro
ducts so as to give the most prolit with
the least expense. A pleasant self-reliance
and good business habits may be
growing, and, at the same time, a love
for nature, for refinement and humanity.
