But 1 was speaking of the gentle man’s expansive patriotism, and after its exhibition of it here a few days ago. and 1 imagined if - Beu Lomond could be separated from the Grampian range and transported from over the sea, as the gentleman was, and wen- set down somewhere in the middle of this country, we will s-iy about the State of Iowa, how natural it would be for Ben Lomond to want to lie down and spread himself oil over the United States and the Territories thereof, with a sublime disregard of the extreme at tenuation of his form. [Laughter.] But, Mr. Chairman, we cannot re reive Ben Lomond. Scotland cannot bestow upou us her Bruce or her Wal lace, for they made, glorious history and their names are embalmed In the leaves that record the history they made. But she has bestowed upon us one of her choicest thistles; and, though its flower# have fallen, its thorn* are still strong and vigorous. He with Ids patriotism can cover tlie whole of the United States and a part of the Third Congressional District of Iowa aud a very considerable part of himself. [Laughter.] His love has never been equaled since the time of Robin Roughhead. who declared if he could have tils way there would be no widows, .or he wonld marry them all, and there would be no orphans, for be would father them all. [Great laugh ter and applause.] The literature of Scotland has fur nished us with an example that Is a prototype, to some extent, of the gen tlemen from Iowa. The “WizanI of the North” exhausted his genius in producing the character of Capt. Dal- gotty, whose chief delight and labor were to fight first upon one side and then upon the other, with equal valor, fidelity and enthusiasm. [Laughter.] But, Mr. Chairman, truth is stranger than fiction, aud the character pro duced by Walter Scott is .more than realized in the character of the gentle man from Iowa, because be can d) what no fox hunter has ever been able to do, that is, to ride upon both sides of a sapling at the same time, and to draw Ids sword in defense of both sides of Ids country, as he avows he did in the late war. [Renewed laughter.] More than that, the gentleman, like a genuine “swash-buckler,” keeps up the fight after tlie enemy has disap peared ; and like the bully described in “Georgia Scenes” who was caught in the woods down upon bis knees, swearing and rearing and gouging the earth with his thumbs, tlie gentleman from Iowa keeps up the fight, and makes.his solo performance here in order to demonstrate how he “mout ha\ e fit.” [Renewed laughter and ap plause.] Mr. Chairman, it has been a rule of my life never t» he outdone In eour- tesv or gratitude if it were possible, aria as I feel under the profonndest obligation to the gentleman from Iowa for the declaration that ho fought for me during the war, I shall now pro ceed to defend him against all coiners. It has been insinuated here that the gen tie mail’s speech the other day was made for a different purpose than for its affect upon this House: that he was speaking for the Third Congressional district of Iowa. Mr. Chairman, I repel tlie foul insinuation against the gentleman. It has been said even that he was speaking for the benefit of a successor who is to follow him from that district. That, too, is a mistake, for how can any man possibly know who his successor is to be? Again it was intimated that he was speaking upon the pension bill for votes, when we knew it was a widow’s pension bill, and widows do not vote, [laughter.] These charges are all un just; all false. The gen(leman was actuate^ by pure patriotism, but it is or a peculiar kind, in making that at tack upon the South. His successor might be his political or personal enemy, If Indeed there be a miscreant iu the State Iowa who oould be the enemy of a man who is as full of uni versal charity as a three-year-old doll I Will Do an K Have a Aliiid.

Is the pilot here? We dare not give the will-power action while he is absent; we dare not move with out him. He is the guide, or mind, of the steamer. There must be an ex perienced pilot, with clear head, clear eye, steady and confident hand. He is the directing power ove** the steamer.. Can tiie pilot do anyihiug without the fireman? Nothing to endanger the ship. Can the Jiremau do anything without the pilot? Yes; he can de stroy everything, himself included Misdirected will becomes a terror, iu ship, man, or state. If a man hits a right mind, an informed, intelligent, disciplined, self-controlling mind, familiar with tiie duty of the hour, if he hits an eye fixed on the bright star of truth, faithfulness, sobriety, peace, he may will to do, and, in doing, bless his fellow man. If his mind be chaot ic, purposeless, undetermined, to do is suicide and death. Rightmindedness is righteousness and makes for har mony and peace. To all willful, thoughtless, heedless ones, again we say: stop and think! You are the father of your act; your act, as your child, will honor or dishonor you. Strive to be a rlghtmindcd man. “Dare to do right, dare to be true— You have a work that none other can do.” Possess a right mind, and the world will insure you time and place to doas you have a mind. Tlie Rose of England. Chambers' Journal. The rose, tlie national flower of England, has ever been distinguished as tiie emblem of beauty. Ancient fable derives the crimson hue of many of its varities from the blood of the heathen goddess of beauty. With equal creaullty medkeval writers relate that the red ro6e sprang from the fire brands heaped upon an early Christian martyr at Bethlehem. Tradition tells us that a rose appeared in the center of King Arthur’s Round Table at Win chester, and some antiquarians would deduce from tills source its adoption as tiie emblem of England. But a more probable derivations from the pages of the Plantageuet princes. The red rose was chosen as the device of his house by John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, fourth son of Edward III.; while his brother Edmond, Duke of York, as- summed the white rose. Years passed on, and the descendants of these princes, Henry VI. of Lancaster, and Edward IV. of York, gave to these badges a deeper significance by the wars of the roses, waged for the posses sion of the crown of Eugland. We need hardly remind our readers of the rival claims of the two houses—that of York by descent through a female from Lionel, Duke of Clarence, the third son of Edward III.; while the Lancastrian King was the direct de scendant of John of 6aunt. In Shake speare’s well-known play of “Henry VI.” we hare a description of a pic turesque scene in the Temple Gardens, where the.leading noblemen on either side select the badges of rheir leaders from among the beauteous flowers of summer. Bat the white rose of York was doomed to be dyed with the crim- sou blood of thousands of the sons of England ere the rival houses were united by the marriage of Henry VTI.„ the representative of Lancaster, to Elizabeth the daughter of Edward IV. of York. JSTeuceforth the rose appeals as the national device of Eugland. In the variety of color of the old-fashion ed rose, the uame would ltave immediately gather ed a tremendous following.

Tom Reed, of Maine' is the best impromtu speaker in the body, aud can say more things to irritate his opponents than any other member. His style is similar to that of Senator Ingalls, but is more humorous and less caustic. For quick, sharp repartee Ben But ter worth, of Cincinnati, must be given the first place. Governor Curtin, of Pennsj-Ivnula, makes the most taking short speeches, and has a fine" sense of bnmor. Mr. H-jnmoral argues a legal point better than any man in tlie House hi the same length of time. Mr. Morrison is a poor speaker, but can lift up his hand and call more men to their feet on a vote than any ether man in the House. Mr. Randall sel dom speaks, when.he does it is with a deliberation and clearness which never fell to effect. William Walter Phelps uses the choicest language heard iu the House. Governor Long, of Massa chusetts, makes speeches which sound like articles from a review. Randolph Tucker preserves in the House the dash and rattle of the hustings. Speaker Carlisle has a cold, deliberate style and rather awkward movements when on his feet. Mr. Payson. of Illinois, Is one of the most fluent members. Mr. Hewitt speaks like a cyclopedia.

They are people of high breeding, polish, refinement. They are in some respects like the Chinese, who have passed through out about all the philosophies aqtl re ligious then on, and come out on the other side of every tiling. They have learned to take things rather easily, not to fret, aud to get on without a great many encumbrances that we still wearily carry along. When we look at the Japanese houses and at their comparatively simple life, are we warranted in saying that they are be hind us In civilization ? May it not be, true that they have lived through all our experience, and come dowu to an sy modus vitendif They may have id their bric-a-brac period, their over- led-establish meat age, their vari ous measles stages of civilization, be fore they reached a condition in prhich life is comparatively simple affair.

Gen. Lurton-as felloe Atlanta, Ga., March 13, 18S6.— Hon. A. R. Lawton, Savannah, Ga.: My Dear Sir—Your letter in reference to my attitude iu theapproachiug elec tion for Governor has been received. The same inquiry has been frequently addressed to me* within the past few mouths by other friends iu whose char acter and judgment the people have manifested confidence. Respect ior them and for my obligations to the public forbade a hasty or premature roiisidcration of the subject. The approach of the time for the ex ecutive committee of the Democratic party to- prepare for the uomiuation of candidates for tlie various state of fices, as well as tlie Increasing urgency .*f friendly inquiries, have induced me to caret ul’ly consider tiie question and deeide it so Jar as it may effect my course. Elected to complete the term of the distinguished Statesman, Alexander U. Stephens. I entered upon hfa un finished duties with uatural distrust of my fitness. My endeavors to pro mote the public welfare by a faithful administration of the State Govern ment were rewarded by unanimous re- eleetiou, without a competitor for tlie nomination of the party or for the suffrages of the people ’at the polls. There has been no abatement of my zeal in the performance of duty, ar.d no considerable portion of the people during the present term have mani fested disapproval of my administra tion. Noue of my official acts, no policy recommended by me and adopted by the Legislature, no meas ure originated by the Legislature and sanctioned by me, have met general criticism as unwise and hurtful to the commonwealth. The unwritten law of American >olitics that an executive should serve rat two successive terms has been em bodied in our State Constitution. It fa true that part of a term and a full term following do not constitute two sucessive terms. There is little reas on to doubt that the people have the legal right to keep a Governor longer iu office where he was entrusted with duties affected by the policy and inter rupted by the death of his predecessor. Bnt he should no; ask re-election, un less there were pending some great political question which divided the people, aud in which he was the nat ural representative of his party, or unless there bad been such arraign ment of his administration that an ap peal to the people was necessary. There being no necessity for further indorsement of my administration, and no public question to render my can didacy a matter of duty to the Demo cratic party, I am uuwilling merely for the purpose of remaining in office another term, to become a candidate for re-election. I shall be content, and feel myself deeply indebted to the people of Geor gia, if having met their just expecta tions in the part I shall complete to their satisfaction the duties which I have been called to discharge. In that event, 1 will, without regret retire from office and resume the duties of a private citizen, which in a free country are not less useful aud honorable, if less conspicuous, than those of the highest public official. Permit me to thank you for the com plimentary allusions to my services. It has been my endeavor to merit the approbation of thoughtful and con servative citizens, and there is no bet ter representative of that class than’ yourself. My knowledge of yon in duces the belief, that notwithstanding the friendship long existing between os, you wonld not express such senti ments, if you were uot satisfied of their correctness.

Hardest Hen to Collect From. Interview with a City Manager. Who are tiie hardest men to collect from? Why, rich inen; men who are known to be perfectly good. Retail men cannot afford to press collections against this class for fear of losing their custom, and the people who are well off, feeling tliat they are amply good for the debt they may incur, run large bills from month to month and pay only when they feel inclined. Next to rich men, the meanest class to collect from are those who contract bills de liberately, never expecting to pay them, and who defy the law in collec tion. Constant dunning is really the only -way to collect anything from these, and even this fails nine cases out of ten. Poor, hard working men, mechanics, clerics aud wage-working men, gener ally are the best men to get along with. They may get behind-huid at times, hut generally they give up easily. Saloon men are hard people to collect from, because, as a rule, breweries stand behind them ready to ]>ounce on wliat they have in case the law fa re sorted to, and knowing this they are indifferent to the pleadings of the col lector. Lawyers are hard men to col lect from. Newspaper men? Well, my experience with them has been very limited. I suppose it fa because nobody trusts them. . —It is said that a society woman in New York fa wearing deep mourning for her dog, which died three months ago.
