Don't Quarrel.—People talk of lovers'
quarrels as rather pleasant episodes—
probably because they are not quarrels at
all. She pouts, be kisses, be frowns, she
eoaxes. It is half play, and they know
it Matrimonial quarrels are another
thin". I doubt seriously if married peo
ple ever truly forgive each other after the
first falling out. They gloss it over;
kiss and make up ; the wound apparently
heals, but only as some of those terrible
wounds given in battle do—to break out
again at some unexpected moment. The
man who has sneered and said cruel
tilings to a sensitive woman has never
her whole heart again. The woman who
has uttered reproaches to a man can nev
er bo taken to his bosom with the same
tenderness as before those words wero
spoken. The two people who must never
quarrel are husband and wife. One may
fall out with kinsman, and make up and
be riends again. The tie of blood is a
strong one, and aliection may return after
it has down away ; but love, once it has
been banished, is a dead and buried thing.
The heart may ache, but it is with hope
lessness. It may be impossible to love
any one else, but it is more impossible to
restore the old idol to its empty niche.
For a word or' two, for a sharpening of
the wits, for a moment s self assertion,
two people have eften been made misera
ble for life. For whatever there may
be before, there are no lovers’ quarrels
after marriage.
Where the Gold Goes.—For centuries
it has been known that the precious
metals which we exchanged for articles
exported from Asiatic countries disap
pear from circulation. The question
where do they go to is answered when
we know that gold and silver ornaments
are much desired by these semi-barbaric
people. The femaels of Hindostan alone
are said to possess $500,000,000 worth of
gold ornaments.
Paper Building.—Many splendid build
ings—churches and other sorts—have
existed on paper heretofore, but now we
have to record a veritable building—a
church—of paper. Walls, roof, ceiling,
Corinthian columns with their appro
priate ornamental capitals are all of pa--
per, rendered incombustible by a chemi
cal process. It is erected at Bergen,
Prussia, and is said to be of capacity to
seat 1000 persons.
How it Feels to Freeze.—One who
knows tells how pleasant it is to freeze
to death in Minnesota. He says the bit
ter cold does not chill and shako a person
as in damper climates. It stealthily
creeps within all defences, aud nips at the
bone without warning. Biding along
with busy thoughts, a quiet, pleasurable
drowsiness takes possession of the body
and mind, the fences glow indistinct, the
thoughts wander, weird fancies come
trooping about with fantastic forms, the
memory falls and, in a confused dream
of wife and home, the soul steps out into
oblivion without a paDg of regret.
The Value of Charcoal.—Powdered
charcoal sprinkled over dressed poultry
or meat will preserve it in good condition
for a considerable period during hot
weather. A few large fragments placed
injjthe closet of a refrigerator will absorb
the tainted or disagreeable smell which
may have been produced by the damp air
acting on the viands kept there for pre
servation.
This is a story from California. If
told of any other country in the world,
we'd doubt it. A fine bay horse was found
suspended one morning recently from a
ehe:ry-tree by ihc neck and dead. He
had been left hitched to a branch of the
tree, which had grown so rapidly during
the night that it raised him off his feet
and hung him. And they don’t think
of fencing in California.
A minister asked a tipsy fellow leaning
up against a fence, where he expected to
go to when he died. ‘‘If I can't get along
any better than I do now,” he replied, “I
shan’t go anywhere.
Ax Indiana Sunday-school man writes
to a Bible firm in New York: “Send me
on some Sunday-school papers and
books. Let the books be about pirates
and Indians as far as possible.”
A good lady who cn the death of her
first husband married his brother, has a
por lit of the former hanging in her
Hinii / room. One day a visitor, remark
ing the painting, asked, “Is that a mem
ber of your family?’ “Oh! that’s my
poor brother-in-law,” was the ingenuous
reply.
“Unless you give me aid,” said a beg
gar to a benevolent lady, “I am afraid I
shall have to resort to something which I
greatly dislike to do.” The lady handed
him a dollar, and compassionately asked,
“What is it, poor man, that I have saved
▼ou from ?” “Work,” was the mournful
you
answer.
“Why, Iehabod, I thought you got
married more’n a year ago?” “Well,
Aunt Jerusha, it was talked of, but I
found out that the girl and all her folks
were opposed to it, and so I just give ’em
all the mitten and let the thing drop.”
“Snsan, how in the world did you ever
marry that brute?” “Oh, I don’t know,
Jane. I used to pick lint off his coat col-
tab aad he fell in love with me.
Breaming.
What wondrous consolation comes to
us in those blessed hours when the body
lies resting. The spirit roams at will,
nor distance, space, or time can separate
us from our loved. The treasures snatch
ed away by death are ours again. Forms
only dust to-day, are with us as in by-
gone years. The same tint of hair the
same shade of eyes; the same rich color
ing of lip, and, expanse of brow ; the same
expression. The little peculiarities
which endeared them to our hearts, make
dreaming a blessed reality.
How apt we are to exclaim, when wak
ing “Oh, could I dream the same again !”
Bereaved mother, you are comforted when
your baby nestles in your arms again
the little fingers thrill you when wander
ing as of old. The wee face breaks into
smiles at your caress ! You would hold
baby thus for ever. Alas! you must
awake—awake to find an empty cradle,
empty arms, and a longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams than
in realities. The awakening embitters
both. My sister, by brother, have you
awakened from the sunny dreams of
youth? Are the hopes you cherished
dead ? Have friendp forsaken you ? Has
disease claimed you for his prey ? Be
cause that was so bright, and this so
dark, will you allow your life to be a
failure? If you cannot be what you would,
will you not be what you can? Can you
kindle ashes? Will you live aright*
The Same Everywhere.
They had a riot at Indianapolis on
election day. Tho colored voter wielded
his gentle razor in tho genuine Southern
way. We are glad of it! We are not
outraged and indignant at it a bit! The
Indianapolis Sentinel tells us about it as
follows :
The riot in the Fourth Ward was, as
far as can be ascertained, an inexcusable
one. It seems to have risen from an
attempt on the part of some of the color
ed people to take vengeance upon one
of their number who had N oted the Dem
ocratic ticket. The duty of the police
in the case was simply to arrest the of
fenders, and the resistance which they
encountered was a disgrace to the good
character of the ward. It is to be re
gretted that the negroes were the rioters,
as they are, so to speak, on their good
behavior as citizens, and should show
their fitness for the ballot by their obe
dience to the law. It is natural that they
should be strongly prejudiced in favor
of the Republican party, but they must
learn to respect the rights of all men—
their own brethren as well as others.
When they deny a colored man the privi
lege of voting as he pleases they set a
very bad example to their enemies.
W r hat is here stated in regard to the
conduct of the negroes is true, says the
Mobile Register, of every place in the
country. Not a negro can vote the Dem
ocratic ticket without being in danger
of his life or of great moboeratie violence
from the hands of persons of his own
color. We hear nothing in the Repub
lican papers about this conduct of the ne
groes; yet it is a very serious matter. If
the colored race are not to be permitted
to vote as they desire, who will say that
they should vote at all ? These colored
Ku-Klux Societies should be severely
legislated against. We invite the atten
tion of the Legislatures of Ohio and
Indiana to the subject, and suggest that
they next winter adopt some statute that
will throw an additional safeguard a-
round the right of suffrage by making
it a felony of a high grade for any person
or attempt to injure, or persons to injure,
by physical violenecany elector for exer
cising nis choice in suffrage.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, sjieaking of the course of
Attorney General Williams, the law offi
cer of the Government, in ignoring the
decision of Justice Bradley of the Su
preme Court, in the Grant Parish prison
er's case, remarks:
The United States Marshals are now
doing in Alabama, Tennessee and Louisia
na exactly what Mr. Justice Bradley has
held that they have no power to do. It
of course would be presumptuous to en
deavor to predict what the decision of the
Supreme Court will be on this question,
but it may be said that Justice Bradley is
not disposed to be any more of a strict
constructionist of the Constitution than
any of his associates on the bench.
This fact would be enough to make
almost any other man than the Attorney
General hesitate before going to the ex
treme length on which he has ventur
ed.
Not satisfied, however, with what Mr.
Williams is undertaking to do, it is signi
ficant that the mouthpiece of the admin
istration in this city are alleging that the
laws now on the statute books do not
give sufficient power to the Federal
Government to maintain peace and order
in the South, and have commenced to
prepare the public mind for additional
political legislation on tho meeting of
Congress.
Sbe Presidential Sphinx.
[Donn Piatt’s Capital.]
His generalship consisted in the fact
that he would fight. Had he been put in
the war at the time McCleallan was, his
career would have been brief and disas
trous, but bloody. As it was, he lost
more men in his march from Washington
to Lee’s surrender than Leo had under
him. There is a sort of subdued power
in the man’s face, however, that is re
markable. Without a particle of that
magnetism that wins while it controls,
his look excites a feeling more akin to
fear than respect’ There is, as it were,
a smoldering fire in his dead eyes that
men generally do not care to disturb. We
pass him almost daily when in town, as
he slouches to and fro before the Execu
tive Mansion, with his hands behind him,
and note his rounded shoulders, thick-set
and ungainly form, upon which the
clothes hang as if purchased at a slop
shop; his bloated red face, from which
not the slightest ray of intelligence em
anates, for the eyes—those windows of
the soul—next to those of the late Louis
Napoleon, are the deadest eyes ever giv
en to a human being, and he reminds us
of an ill-conditioned and not over cleanly
bulldog, at which it would be dangerous
to poke a cane.
They tell a rather queer story about tie
doctors in a certain Texas town who all
went last Summer to attend a . medical
convention. They were absent about two
months, and on their return home they
found all their patients had recovered, the
drug-stores had closed, the nurses open
ed dancing-schools, the cemetery was cut
up into building lots, the undertakers
had gone to making fiddles, and the
hearse had been painted and sold for
circus wagon.
“Lord, what a cow!” was the approving
remark of a teetotal judge of Vermont af
ter swallowing a potent punch which had
been offered him as a glass of milk.
The President and Louisiana.
A letter from Hon. James B. Beck to
the Frankfort Yeoman says: In response
to your request that I will give the facts
in regard to the recognition of the Kel
logg government, I beg to say that I do
not desire to discuss the late troubles in
Louisiana, but I do object to the apolo
getic tone of a portion of the Democratic
press and of some of our leading states
men in regard to the President’s action
in December, 1872, subverting the State
government of Louisiana by placing
Kellogg, Pinchback & Co. over that pros
trate Commonwealth, against the known
wish of the people, by the army anu na
vy of the United States. They speak of
his conduct as a “mistake,” an “error of
judgment,” an . “unintentional wrong,”
which they regTet, but do not blame him
for it, when in fact, they know, if they
know what they are talking about, that
Kellogg’s usurpation, and Durell’s de
cision was not only fostered and encour
aged by the President and his Attorneys
General, who is simply his man “Friday,”
the convenient tool of his master, but
was arranged and dictated by the Presi
dent, who is and ought to be held respon
sible before the American people for all
tho evils which have followed. I could
prove these assertions to be true beyond
all peradventure by a plain recital of facts
and dates, and I hope to do so on the
floor of Congress this Winter. Now, I
prefer to furnish an abstract of the proof
from a speech made by Mr. Lamar, of
Mississippi, in the House of Representa
tives on the 14th day of Jane last, which,
though listened to by all the Republican
leaders, was neither answered nor con
tradicted, and could not be, because the
facts were indisputable.
He then quotes from Lamar's speech,
in which it is shown that the Federal
Government, after recognizing the War-
moth government as legal, by its own
hand destroyed that government, and
set up another in its stead, and that the
whole plan to set up and maintain the
Kellogg government was preconcerted,
and the Federal authorities at Washing
ton duly notified thereof, and that the
plan met their approval and it was the
work of breaking up the legitimate gov
ernment for the purpose solely of for
warding the interests of the Republican
party.
Durell was to decide the Kellogg re
turning board legal, and to issue an in
junction against the Warmonth govern
ment, restraining them from meeting,
and the injunction was to be backed up
and enforced by United States troops un
der the direction of Gen. Emery.
The programme was earned out to the
very letter. Durrell made his decision,
and it was enforced by United States
troops. Afterwards, when Gov. McEnery
and a hundred citizens stalled to Wash
ington to protest against this outrageous
usurpation, and to beg of the President
at least a fair hearing of their cause, a
dispatch from the imperial Attorney-
General Williams was sent to them, in
forming them that the President had
made up his mind, and that it would be
unavailing. They went, however, and
were about to effect a compromise, when
a dispatch was sent by Marshal Packard
to Kellogg, telling him to abandon all
thought of compromise, that the McEnery-
overnment must be broken up as soon
as Congress adjourned, which command
was obeyed, and as soon as Congress ad
journed the McEnery government was
broken up and dispersed by a body of
police, backed by the United States
troops, since which time the State has
been under the heel of the Kellogg usur
pation.
The dates above given show that Con
gress was in session when all these events
transpired. It met Monday, December
2, 1872, and it is a well known fact that
Durell’s decision, on which so much
stress was afterward laid, was not only
dictated at Washington, but never would
have been rendered but for the assurance
given before its rendition by the Attor
ney-General that it would be sustained
and enforced. With such a record as
that undisputable, I repeat, it is folly,
and worse than folly-, for Democratic
speakers or writers to call the President's
action either “erroneous," “mistaken,’’
or “excusable.” It was plain, palpable
usurpation of power and shameless vio
lation of duty, for which he and his ad
visers, aiders and abettors should be
held accountable by the American people.
One of the very worst signs of the times
is the disposition to pander to power,
and thus embolden those in authority to
disregard constitutional restraint. Every
Democrat should, when truth demands it,
proclaim and expose the infraction of
right, and the consequences of the wrong,
and demand the removal from place and
power of the wrong doers. Popular lib
erty cannot otherwise be preserved, nor
free institutions perpetuated. That is
all I desire to say at present, and I would
not have said what I have but fer the
apologetic tones of several very able ar
ticles by leading Democrats, which, in my
■judgment, gave the people a false idea of
the conduct of the President and his ad
visers relative to Louisiana. They are
responsible for all that has followed or
may follow. Kellogg and Pinchback
were their tools. The plunder of Louis-
ina and the desperation of the people are
the legitimate consequences of their acts.
The consequences of these acts were ob
vious. The man who, in reckless disre
gard of social duty, throws from tlio roof
of abuse a log of wood into a crowded
street and kills a human being is as much
a murderer as the midnight assassin, and
it is no excuse if his own wife, child, or
best friend happens to be the victim. The
President and his Attorney General
(whose known malice to all Southern
men makes hjm a desirable instrument in
the President's hands) and their partisans
are equally responsible for the conse
quences of their flagrant usurpation. They
knew then as well as now that Durell and
his Court had no jurisdiction; that the
Kellogg-Pincbback returns were “con
ceived of am and brought forth in ini
quity;” that they were prostituting the
army and navy of the United States to
the basest of purposes when they caused
its military power to plant the heels of
these usurpers on the necks of tho peo
ple of Louisiana. Thus believing, I en
ter my feeble protest against all Demo
cratic apologies for their conduct, no
matter how distinguished the source from
whence they come.
Respectfully, J. B. Beck.
Preparing for a Big Majority.
Our dispatches last evening in alluding
to the registration of New York City, puts
it at 146.000, against 123,000, the year
previous. This is an increase of 22,194.
An unusually heavy registration, and is
an indication of a large Democratic major
ity for that city. The Democracy at large
have reason to congratulate themselves
upon the various victories throughout
the country, and seem disposed to keep
the ball in motion. Let the ground work
go on.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
)re partition, made chiefly from the native
lerbafound on thelower ranges of the Sier
ra Nevada mountains of California, the
medicinal properties of which are extract
ed therefrom witbont the nse oi Alcohol.
The question fa almost daily asked, “What
fa the cause of the unparalleled success of
VcnUAB Bitobs?” Out answer fa, that
they remove the cause of disease, and the
patient recovers his health. They are the
great blood purifier and a life-giving prin
ciple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the history
of the world has a medicine been com
pounded possessing the remarkable qual
ities of Vikegab Bitters in healing the sick
of every disease man fa heir to. They are a
gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev
ing Congestion or Inflammation of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis-
if men will enjoy good health, let
them use Vcooab Bitters as a medicine,
1 avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
every form.
