THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1878.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The prosecutions which have been com
menced against trespassers on the public
lands for cutting timber, have awakened
considerable feeling in Congress. Some
members have spoken of Mr. Scburz as
Laving taken the system of I’russia, his
native country, and undertaken to regulate
tho public domain of this country by it,
notwithstanding the vast diilerence in tho
size and population of the two countries,
They havo charged him with having
prosecuted poor men who were Ignorantly
violating the laws and who had no other
way of muking a living. A call by Con
gross for information brought out a report
from Mr- Sehurz, showing that these
trespassers in some instances had twenty
five men and fifty teams nt work all the
time, and sold dai.y 10,000 feet of lumber
at $35 per thousand, besides cutting
many thousand cords of wood, which was
sold for $7 or $8 a cord; and that on the
ooarst of Florida more than two hundred
vessels were sometimes waiting to he
loaded with pine And live-ouk timber cut
from the public lands.
EVUOPSAN NEWS.
Borne accounts mention March 30th,
and others April 2d, as the time when it
was expected that the Congress would
meet, but tho last accounts say that there
is now very little probability that tho
Congress will meet at all. England con
tinues to make preparation lor war.
Russia is trying to conciliate Austria,
and prevent her from making common
cause with England, but she will make
no concessions to the latter power, [t is
said that llussia has even gone so far as
to propose that Austriu shall anii'X
Bosnia, Hercegovina, Albania, and a part
of Macedonia. Those provinces include
nearly all the western pait of Turkey.
The Austrian government is not much
inclined to accept, the offer: probably teel
ing that the advantages which llussia has
gained by tbo treaty are greater than
those which she herself will derive from
this increase of her territory. Germany
is trying to briu, about a peaceful settle
ment, but is said to have determined that
if w..r does result, she will not take part
in it.
Both in England and in llussia a eon
side table part of tho militia have been
ordered to prepare themselves for aeti vi
duty. England is making alterations in
ships which heretofore have been fiued
up h r carrying soldiers from place to
place, so that they may also carry horses,
umbulaneos, eto. She is also buying up
large numbers of horses in Kentucky and
Illinois.
llussia has forbidden tho export of
cereals from the lower Danube, foreseeing
that they tuay all be needed there to feed
her owu army. A careful study of the
situation secius to give very littlo ground
for cxpectiug a speedy pacification of
Europe.
FUTURE I'UNISHMKNT.
Thaie has been much discussion lately
ju the uowspapers and in the pulpit, con
cerning the elute in which wo shall exist
after death. The subject bus been pre
sented in various ways, but wo trust that
our readers v.ill bear with us while we
present a line of thought which may have
occurred to others, but whioh wo do not
remember that we have ever heard from
the pulpit, or seen in priut
Our naturo is such that a virtuous
course of conduct produces happiness,
while indulgence in vice causes mis ry.
Kven persons who do not livo virtuously
will speak of those who are a little more
vicious than than themselves as being
very unwise and neaessarily miserable.
The man who says that one dram makes
him feel bettor than before, is perfeotly
willing to admit that he who drinks till
he falls iuto the gutter must be miserable.
The same is true of all otnor kinds of im
proper indulgence. A part of this un
pleasuut result is experienced in the
mind, and is called remorse. It is in no
way connected with the body, and no
reason can be given for supposing that it
will cease whan the mind and the body arc
separated. It is not reasonable to sup
pose that the separation of the material
from the immaterial will so change the
nature of the immaterial that a course of
conduct which now pri duces unpleasant
feelings will n ; produce them hereafter.
He who has passed thi* life in disobeying
God. will, unless his nAture is changed,
continue to disobey him in the next, and
will lie miserable. Unless the death of
the b'idy changes the desires of the spirit,
those same longings which cause the
mental sufferings of the wicked in this
world will still exist, and being ungratified
and, in very many instances, ungratifiablc,
will be a constantly reeurring source of
torment. Much of the happiness and
misery whie'.i we experience in this life
ariw * from the treatment that we receive
from others. Here we arc surrounded by
all classes; some are kind, and add to our
happiness; seine are never happy unless
they can make others miserable. In
another statt! of existence the righteous
will he separated from the wicked. The
happiness of the farmer will be enhanced
hy the fact that they will be delivered
from all association with the malevolent:
the wicked will bo more miserable because
all their companions are '‘hateful aud
Latin" one anetber,” Tho influence of
the pious being thus removed from them,
and tho Holy spirit having ceased to
strive with them, what can be expected
of them but a fulfilment of tho words of
Scripture: “But evil men and seduoers
will wax worse and worse, deceiving and
being deceived," and that they will be
forever wicked, and forever miserable?
WHY Ih IIK DISSATISFIED?
To the Kdilor of The Gazette:
I notice.] in your issue of March 7th, a
letter written hy T. B. VV., who now re
sides in Gregg county, Texas. I am
truly s-'-rry to hear of his dissa 1 isfactien,
and poor fellow! I extend to him all ten
der sympathy possible; he ought to havo
stayed in Chattooga while there.
I congratulate him on his wise decision,
and shall be truly glad to bear of hiseal'y
departure for his old residence. lam
fearful that his morbid anxiety to see old
(Jhattoogi county, will create a great
thirst for drink. My advice to Mrs. T.
B. is to give him a Turkish bath before
going to bed, follow.d next morning with
a doso of Mother Noble’s soothing syrup
I want him to get hack to his dear old
homo. I know from his writing that he
can live there satisfied thorost ofliisdays.
“As tho hart pantoth after tho water
brooks, so paateth" T. B. after Chat
tooga county. I wislt him ait success
possible on his return home.
1 lee! near to him—l foe! near to all
Chattoogans: that, is the land of my birth.
My advice to him is to he careful on his
way home, for there is groat and mger of
his getting water bound five or six years
in Arkansas.
But why is he dissatisfied? He say
that Tex is is not a r aradise by any mo ms.
If he expected to find paiadise in Texas,
that i- the cause of his dissatisfaction.
My advice to the people of Chattooga
county is not to come to Texas expecting
to find tho treo uf life; if so, they will all
be diisaCtsfisd.
lie says that his smoke house is neces
sarily located in St. Louis. Hew is that,
when he can buy corn at 30 cents per
bushel? It is -trauge that he can buy
corn so cheap, and yet is obliged to sond
to Bt Louis for his bacon, when ho douhl
use a little industry, got his hogs, food
his thirty copt orn to them, and live in i
dependent o! St. Lulls or any other
place. 1 say ill. there is more in tho
man than in the eountry.
Hu spoke i fee ,ing tramps. Ido not
kuow hew it is in Gregg, but here there is
only a certain class who will allow tramps
to stay about them.
From reading Mr- T. B’s letter, 1 think
that ho has gotten homesick and is
anxious to arm himself with a terrible
talo to get back home on. I imagine that
I hear him and his wife conversing to
night. She says, “now, T. 8., when we
get back to Chattooga, we must oartail
our expenses: when we gt hack to Chat
tooga wo can burn pino-knots in place of
coal oil, and when you start to Rome after
guano you can hang your tar bucket on
your wagon- and do away with buying
Frazer’s axle grease; and here is tho baby,
a year old, and has never seen its grand
pa.” “Awake! whysleepest thou,” oh,
T. B? arise, cast us not iff for ever! Lot
us know when you get heme.
I noticed your account of the train
rubbery on the Paoifiio railroad at Alien.
The loss was only $2500 instead of
$25,000. They have a man now in tho
MoKinnie jail who is charged with the
robbery, i hoar that the surne train was
robbed and a man shot last night throo
miles north of Pilot G rove. It is believed
by some to be the express agent himself
who is doing the mischief.
Yours truly, J. W. B.

A tUEVENOEFDL UaOO.
I!e was a jolly tar, no to speak, for he has
j Lean rocked in the cradle of the deep, arid
| wiled the raging main between this city and
\ the Eastern Shore, at regular periods, on an
nyuier pungy. He gives his name as James
I lowers, and although he is not known to be
• in any way connecter! with the festive Joseph
Dowers, of Pike, whose history Iras been
handed down to us in the shape of poetry,
there are many peculiarities of character that
ard Common to both, and it is certain that
James possesses the same roving disposition
that made Joseph famous in history. James
■ ame to this city several weeks ago, and
shipped on an oyster pungy as a common
sailor. The boat made several tripe to this
city, the last being on Thursday, when the
captain informed James that in his hurnhle
opinion he did not think James would ever
reach the distinction he deserved in mer
chant service, and advised him to seek other
employment, at the same time giving him the
amount of salary due. James departed in
sorrow, but returned in the evening glor
iously drunk, and thirsting for revenge, lie
hoarded the pungy on the South side of the
harin, knocked down the colored oook with n
stick of cord wood, and made a rush for the
cabin. The Captain of the vessel, John H.
Combs, heard the disturbance on deck and
ran up. He was met by James, and a des
perate struggle ensued,in which the Captain
received several severe cuts on the head.
He managed to secure a small bar of iron
during the fight, hut before he oould use it
his assailant jumped ashore and ran up the
wharf, where he was arrested by one of the
i .Hirers of the Southern Police District.

A DIFFICULT QUESTION.
A curious instance of scrupulousness in it
drunken man is afforded by the cose of an
engine-driver named Thomson, in the em
ploy of tho North British Kailway Company,
against whom a complaint was heard nt the
instnnoe of the Company at the Edinburgh
Summary Court on Saturday Last. It sr i-t
that Thomson, who was acting as engine
driver for the conduct of the traffic at the
Portobello Station, was found drunk while
serving in that capacity on the 23J iust
lie admitted his guilt, but pleaded that,
fe. ling himself on the day in question “over
como" by the liquor of which lie hud spar
ingly partaken, he did not persist in re
maining at his post, but left the engine of
which he had charge to another person.
The Sheriff, after making some severe re
marks as to the danger to travelers hy rail
caused by the intoxicated engine-drivers,
lined Thomson £5, with the alternative of
thirty days’ imprisonment. There can be
no doubt that, as a rule, drunkeD engine
drivers deserve exceptionally severe punish
ment; but, as a matter of policy, it is a
question whether it would not have been a
wise course to have given Thomson a reward
of £5, instead of fining him that amount, as
n encouragmcnt to railway officials to fol
low the wise example set by him of not re
maining at hia post when he felt “overcome
hy liquor and unfit todischargehisdutiea."
MICHAEL ANGELO AS A WORKMAN.
Through his impatience and enthusiasm,
Michael Angelo mined block after block of
marble by working with too greet vehem
ence near the surface. He had a wonderful
faculty as a mere workman in marble, but
hie genius end impetuosity of temperas
nmnt would not brook the opposition of so
stubborn a material, and unfitted him for
those first processes of roughing out into
shape the block, which requires patience
and precision. Too eager to arrive at a
point where hie true genius would find
play, hs assailed the marble with such vio
lence that he often struck off pieces whioh
trenched into the just limits of the surface;
and as they could not be replaced, be was
forced to finish as he could—not as he
would. Had he confined himself more to
elaborating his work in clay, and then in
trusting the blocking out in marble to a
mechanical workman; wc should have had
not only a much larger number of grand
works by him, but they would have been
freer of great defects. For Instance, the
back of the head of Moses has been chisel
ed away until it is an impossible head.
Again, the David is sacrificsd to the exi
gencies of the marble. And the head of
his famous Day was probably left un
finished because hs perceived that it was
turned beyond tbs limit permitted to na
ture without breaking tbs neck.— Black •

I The commissioners who wet a selected
| to decide how much, if anything, the
United States should pay to England for
the privilege of catching fish on tho coasts
of the Britjsh North American colonies,
fixed the amount at $5,500,000. Much
dissatisfaction is felt, and the debates in
Congress on the subject have been’spicy.
There were three commissioners, and it
was claimed that the British government
gained an advantage by securing the ap
pointment of M. Delfosse, Belgium Min
ister at l-iondon, for the third commis
sioner. after having, in the beginning of
the negotiations, mentioned him as one
whom it woulJ not be proper to select,
on account of the relation which England
sustained to Belgium. Some claim that
the award is not binding upon the United
Btates because all the commissioners did
not agree to it, (the American commis
sioner protested against it,) and quote
many authorities saying expressly that
the arbitrators must all agree or their
decision is not binding: the opposite side
quote other writers who say positively
that the decision of a majority of tho
arbitrators is binding upon both parties.
All seem to agree that the award was for
too much. and it is not easy to foresee
what will be the final decision.
A COMFI.I M I.SV TO AMERICAN
BRAKES.
An example of heroic self-devotion on the
part of two railway servants is reported hy
the last mail from America. A pasenger
train near Cincinnati, owing to a misplaced
switch, plunged through a bridge, the driver
and stoker being instantly killed, but all the
others in the train being saved through their
heroism. These men wight have snved them
selves by jumping out. but they remained at
their posts, the driver applying the air-brake
when he.discovered the misplaced switch, so
that the passenger coaches were stop;**! tie
fore they reached the chasur, and tire passen
gers saved. “Tire driver was found crushed
to death in the locomotive car by the tank,
hi- hands grasping tire throttle.' 1 Ti e ad
niiraiion which every one must feel at this
brave act, will be, amongst us in England,
mingled largely wltbo. feeling of envy for a
country in which such an achievement ispos
sible. It is humiliating to reflect that it is
quite beyond the reach of imitation in this
country ; for though we have douhtlww many
engine drivers, equally brave, we have no
railway-brakes equally efficient Men can
hardly be expected to die at their [rests unless
they can do something their worth dying for;
aed any English engine driver who, under
the same circumstances, plunged into a
chasm with his hand on one of our miserable
brakes would sinrpiy be followed to destruc
tion by the whole of the "passenger coaches,”
and their occupants.
ADRUNA PATTI, AFTER ACTING THE
HKiUHNK OF "THE HUGUENOTS.”
When she was called out at the end of the
act, her drooping form, shadowed eyes, and
faltering at every step, caused many in the
audience to declare that she was totally ex
hausted, and that her strength was unequal
to the demand made upon it by the arduous
character. H it, as she told an intimate
friend afterward, this appearance of exhaus
tion was but the carrying out of her part.
“Had I come forward smiling and sprightly,’’
said she, “after the tragic emotion and the
excitement of the greatest scene of the opera,
my enemies would have said, ‘She docs not
enter into her part; she cannot feci it. She
is Rosins, not Valentine, a ehanteuss de
roulades, not a great artiste.’” Sensible
little Patti! And how wonderfully pretty
she is, and bow girlishly youthful in ap
pearance ! Fourteen years have passed
since 1 first saw her in her native and child
like awkwardnes-, her pretty school girl in
experience, singing in “La Soimambula,”
in New York, and looking, in her short dress
and braided tresses, like a niee little girl
about twelve years of age, though even then
a consummate artiste. She looks some six
years older now, and that is to say just
eighteen. Her voice has gained wonderfully
in power and volume, andatiil retains, unim
pared, that marvellous bird-like quality,
that lark-like clearness and sweetness, that
used to drive all operagoing New York wild
so many years ago. She is a great artiste,
probably the greatest of living singers.

for this Winter’s out in the Ottawa i57.000,-
000 cubic feet of white pine and 1,500,000

and a reduction of 9,000,000 feet of red

THE RUSSIAN SABLE.
The moet fashionable and costly of all
furs is the Russian eabls—.the skin of the
Ifostela zibellina, which to about three or
fovr times ae large as the common weasel,
to which family it belongs. A choice skin
of the >ea-ottftr or the black fox may com
mand a higher prise than one of the Rus
sian sable, but the cost of the latter will be
relatively greater on account of its smaller
size. The fur of the Russian sable to
brown in Hummer, with some gray spots on
the head, and may bo distinguished from
all other fura by the hairs turning and ly
ing equally well in any direction. In Win
ter, when the animal to usually taken, the
color of the fur to a beautiful black. The
darkest skins are the most valuable. In
its natural condition, the fur has a bloomy
appMSonec; but dyed sables generally
lose their gloss, and the hairs become
twisted or crisped. Sometimes the skioa
are blackened hy being smoked, but the
deception is exposed by the smell and the
crisped hairs. A dyed or ernoked fur may
be detected by rubbing it with a moist
linen cloth, which will then become black
ened. It is said, however, that the Chinees
dye the sables, and give them a permanent
color without destroying the gloss; in this
case the fraud may lie detected by the
crisped hairs. The beet skins are obtained
in Yakutsk, Karatchatka, and Russian Lap
land. Only about 25,000 are annually
taken, and these command extraordinary
prices, the average price of a raw kiw
being about $25, while a choice “crown”
Ru si&n sable will sell for S2OO. But few
of these furs reach the English or Ameri
can market. The chief demand is in Rus
sia, where the use of the salde is monopo
lized by the iin|*rial family and the nobili
ty, by whom it is chiefly used for lining
for civic roliea, coats, &c„ and for ladies'
seta.
THE WONDERS OF A FLEA.
When a flea ie made to appear as large as
an elephant, we can see all the wonderful
parte of its formation, and are aatoniehed
to find that it has a coat of armor much
more complete lhan ever warrior wore, and
composed of strong polished plates, fitted
over each other, each plate coveied like a
tortoise shell, aud where they meet hun
dreds of strong quills project, like thoee ou
the buck of a porcupine and hedge-hog.
Tliere ie the arched neck, the bright eye,
the transparent case*, the piercers to punc
ture the skin, a sucker to draw away the
blood, six long-jointed legs, four of which
are folded on the breast, all ready at any
moment to be thrown out with tremendoua
force for that jump which bothers one
when they want to catch him, and at the
end of each leg booked claws to enable him
to cling to whatever he alights upon. A
flea can jump a hundred times its own
length, which is the same as if a man
jumped six hundred feet; and he can
draw a load two hundred times his own
weight.
YANKEE DOODLE.
After the Ministers Plenipotentiary
of Great Britain and the United States
had nearly concluded their pacific la
bors at Ghent, the burghers of that
quaint old Dutcn city determined to
give an entertainment in their honor,
and desired to have the national airs
of the two treaty-making powers per
formed as a part of the programme.
So the musical directors were directed
to call upon the American Ministers
and obtain the music of the national
air of the United States.
A consultation ensued, at which
Bayard and Gallatin favored “Hail
Columbia,” while Clay, Bussell, and
Adams were decidedly in favor of
“Yankee Doodle,”
The musical director asked if any of
the gentleman had the music, and re
ceiving a negative reply, suggested
that perhaps one of them could sing
or whistle the air.
"I can’t,” said Mr. Clay, “I never
whistled or sung a tune in my life—
perhaps Mr. Bayard can?"
“Neither can I," replied Mr. Bay
ard, “perhaps Mr. Bussell can?”
Mr. Bussell, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr.
Adams in turn confessed their lack of
musical ability.
“I have it,” exclaimed Mr. Clay,and
ringing the bell he summoned his col
ored body servant.
“John,” said Mr. Clay, “whistle
‘Yankee Doodle’for this gentleman.”
John did bo, the chief musician
noted down the air, and at the enter
tainment the Ghent Burghers’ Band
played the national air of the United
States with variations.
