SWEEP YOUR OWN' 1)0011.
Do wo heed the homely adago handed down from
days of yore,
"Ere you sweep your nelghlwr's dwelling, clear tho
rubbish from your door 7"
Let not tilth, nor rust thero gather ; leave no traces
of decay 1
Pluck up every weed unsightly; brush tho fallen
leaves away,
It we faithfully have labored thus to sweep without,
within,
Pluck up envy, evil-speaking, malice, each besetting
sin
Weeds that by tho sacred portals of tho Inner tem
ple grow;
Poison weeds the heart dealing, bearing bitterness
ond woe
Then, perchance, wo may havo leisure o'er our
neighbor watch to keep ;
All tho work assigned us llnlshcd.wo before his door
may sweep;
show hint whero tho moss lscllnglng token ever of
decay
Where tho thistles, thickly springing, dally must be
cleared away.
But alas 1 our work neglected, wo oft mount the
Judgment seat ;
With his fallings, his oralsslona.wc our weary broth
er greet !
Insomo hidden nook forgotten, searching wlthn
careful eye,
Wo tho springing weeds discover some slight blem
ish there decry,
For bis slothfulness, his blindness, wo our brother
harshly chide ;
Glory In our strength and w lsdom, wo condemn him
In our pride.
Asknot why ho has neglected thus beforo his door
to sweep ;
Why grown careless, bo has slumbered, tailed his
garden plot to keep.
On the Judgment scut still sitting, wc no helping
hand extend,
To assist our weaker brother his shortcomings to
amend ;
For his weariness, his falt'rtng, we no sweet com
passion show,
From our store no cordial bring him, no encourage
ment bestow,
But while busied with our neighbor, urging him to
ceaseless care,
Calling to tho thoughtless Idlers to their labor to re
pair, Lo I unsecn.tho dust has gathered ;weeds are grow
ing where of jore,
Flowers raro and sweet were blooming when wo
sw ept before our door.
Ah I how easy o'er our brother faithful ward and
watch to keep ;
But, alas ; beforo our duelling hard Indeed todally
sweep ;
Harder than to share tho contllct "by tho stuff" at
home to stay.
Easier to sit In Judgment than to humbly watch and
pray.

SE.VAT01! VnOKHEES ON" THE CONFEDER
ATE llEKJADlEHS.
Iljiiotriiy of tlio Stalwart Radicals.
FROM SPEECH IN THE SENATE, JUNE l'Jrll.
Let in see n little further, however, about
this dangerous person called the confeder
ate brigadier. Who firnt brought him here?
Who is responsible for the introduction of
the confederate brigadier to the theater of
national politics ? Southern gentlemen
around me on this lloor are here because
they thought the country wa3 restored to its
normal relations ; that the states were re
habilitated under the constitution ; that
each state had tho right to select its own
representatives in bth branches of cougre.-s
and that they were not compelled to ask
leave to come of any set of nen from any
part of the country.
Gentlemen, I welcomo you. You are
right in boing here. You are met however
by a party of violent unwelcome, with abuse
and denunciation hurled as a key-note to
party warfare by the great senator from
New York, and followed up by all tho sena
tors on that side of thechuinber. Sir, there
is something due to history on this subject.
Is the confederate soldier uufit to take part
in the airairs of this government ; or U it In
S'act only the confederate soldier who votes
the democratic ticket to whom you object ?
Is it the confederate soldier per e, or does
the objection to him only arUe when he votes
tho democratic ticket ? If a confederate
soldier votes the republican ticket, aud in
dorses all the rascality that overwhelmed
the south as a deluge during carpetbagism,
do you not embrace him i Tell mo when
you have ever spewed such a one out of your
mouths. Tell me where you ever repulsed
him from your warmest and most affection
ate political embrace. Nonesuch have ever
been seen cast out by tho republican party.
On the contrary, all such havo had seats of
dignity aud robes of honor assigned them.
It is but n little while ago since a confed
erate brigadier first took part in the control
of public affairs. He was invited to do so
by the candidate of the stalwarts for the
next Presidency, General Urant. Urant ap
pointed ilrigadier General Amos I. Acker.
man, of Georgia, to a scat in his cabinet. A
majority of tho republican senators sitting
hero tfl-day 011 their oaths voted to confirnl
him as the first law ollicer of this govern
ment. They gave it to him to construe the
constitution, to Interpret the laws, to render
decisions binding lor years and perhaps for
all time. General Grant put into the hands
of contederate Ilrigadier General Amos I,
Akerman tho portfolio of justice, and a re
publican senate confirmed him; and why ?
not because ho was greatly learned In tho
law. Nor did they object when ho carried a
sword and killed whom ho could, under the
confederate llagj he voted tho republican
ticket and that was enough j It washed away
all his sins and made him clean and pure In
their eyes, though bis sins had been as scar
let before,
BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 18.
Another Instance nearer humn In tlmo find
plnro occurs next to my mind. 1 know what
profound atlfactlon I will nflbrd to the
Fonator from Now York Mr. Conkllng
when I pause for a moment to pronounce
ft eulogy tipou the proent administration. I
know tho appreciation which his robust In
tellect has of tho patriotic and comprehen
Ivo capacities of the administration now In
power. I know, therefore, ho will bo grate
ful to me for calling attention to the fact
that although ho has nrralgncd us for the
dipropnrtlon of confederate brigadiers of
this body to tho Union brigadiers or major
generals, yet this favorite adminitratlon of
his has confided one of Its very Important
cabinet portlfolios to another confederate
brigadier, General Key, of Tennessee. I
havo 110 word of diparngemctit for General
Key or General Akerman. I am not here
to abuio or denounce these men for chang
ing their polttics j they had a right to do so.
I do say, however, that senators on the oili
er side, after voting to confirm thefo men
for positions of the very highest public Im
portance, have not the shadow of a right to
assail us for welcoming tho southern sena
tors who are on tills lloor.
General Key drew his sword under tho
Hag of the south and fought through the
war. Ho then camo to tho senate, and while
hero made a speech. I refer to It now prin
cipally to show how much the senator from
New York has forgiven, to exhibit that gra
cious phmo of his character which somo do
not know of as well as I do, to illustrate
that his forbearance and charity aro ns
broad as the mantle that covers nil sin.
General Key spoke just beforo ho was ap
pointed to tho Tdace ho now holds. Com
menting upon that very memorable field of
testimony wherein Eliza l'iukston covered
herself and the republican party with in
famy, and while arraigning John Sherman
lor being the patron of that paragon false
hood, tho present postmaster general on this
lloor, on the 18th day of December, 187(5,
used this language:
"Aud on this testimony, tho falsehood of
which is so apparent 011 its face, a state is to
bo disfranchised, and a President, whom the
people never elected is to bo placed in
oilice."
I told you, Mr. President, I would prove
how generous the charity of the senator from
New York has been, Within but a few
days of his appointment and confirmation,
the present postmaster general not only an
nounced that the present President of the
United States was not elected President by
tho people at all, but fuither that there was
a plot to foist him into that oilice by dis
franchising a state through the instrumen
tality of wholesale falsehood. He has never
recanted this truthful statement that I know
of. I suppose ho has agreed to vote the re
publican ticket, and doubtless he does so. I
presume it was on that condition that a re
publican senate confirmed this confederate
brigadier with an additional handicap in
the shape of the speech I have read Irom.
Mr. Conkling. How docs the senator
stretch my charity over that 1
Mr. Vorhees. liecauso I haye heard
that ringing voice which God has giv
en tho senator from New York lu denuncia
tion of that appointment. I therefore sup
posed he had condoned tho ollenses enumer
ated by me. I think the word "condone" a
fitter word in this connection, all things
considered, than "forgive." The senator
has been unsparing in his assaults becauso
of our affiliation with the men of the south,
while the administration of his party ap
points not merely a confederate brigadier,
but one who in this presence said that his
claim to that great oilice rested on wholesale
falsehood and threatened the disfranchise
ment ofa state.
Passing 011, however. I invite senators to
take a walk with mo through tho south,
starting from the Potomac. I will promise
still further to illustrate the shameless, bare
faced, false pretensions of the republican
party on this subject. As soon as we cross
the Potomac wo atonco find a federal judge
holdingan office for life in Virginia. I shall
not seek to disparage his ability or his
character, but lie was an original secession
ist and the editor of a secession paper when
the war broke out. I allude of course to
Judge Hughes. Ho is now where ho con
strues the laws of the United States through
out a wide expanse of country and over a
large and intelligent population. IIo was ap
pointed by a republican administration, con
firmed by a republican senate,confirmed by the
voices of those who have since hurled their
auathemas in our ears because we welcomed
you, andyou,southern senators, to this lloor.
They have welcomed confederate officers to
the bench and to tho cabinet ; they have
welcomed them to foreign missions ; they
have welcomed them to official positions of
every description, on the one sole condition
that they would vote the republican ticket
Party politics controls this whole matter.
When they vote tho republican ticket thoy
are your brigadiers ; when they vote the
democratic ticket they are our brigadiers.
My purpose must not be misunderstood.
I am not producing any of these names here
to assault them ; I am simply using thorn to
illustrate a policy so crooked and so out
rageous that it deserves exposure, aud It
shall have it.
Here, rext, Is another Virginian, John S.
Mosby. Who was John S. Mosby? I know
him well. I speak no unkind word of him,
yet I can remember when it was a question
whether his surrender would be received,
whether he would bo accepted as a prisoner
of war or whether ho should be outlawed
from the general amnesty which the govern
ment was then extending. There was a time
when the namo of Mosby shook the fears of
men In this capltol. There was a time when
it was supposed he fought under a black
Hag and that it could sometimes be seen
from the dome in the soft sunlight of an
afternoon. It was thought that his warfare
partook of tho nature of the guerilla, and
such a belief largely prevails to this hour,
Hut all is forgiven now j not only forgiven,
but verily this most offensive confederate
warrior has Ills rich reward. He embraced
radicalism, and It in return embraced him,
Instead of somo wounded federal soldier oc
cupyiug the position this republican senate
has confirmed John S. Mosby as (Counsel at
Hong Kong, and he Is now an American
representative to the oldest empire on earth;
ho is among the Celestials.
The traveler In passing through Virginia
naturally visits North Carolina next. We
will do the same. Thomas Settle, of North
(Jarollua, is now a district judge of the
United States, a life office of rank and lui
portauce. It Is doubtless truo that Judge
' Settlo Is a competent man; I am told he la
by both tho Aenators from that stale, but he
was an ollicer of the confederate army. Ho
was a secessionist he fought tho battles of
secession ; he turned lo be a republican, and
was made president ot the republican na
tional convention which nominated Grant,
In 1872, at Philadelphia. Afterward ho was
mado minister to Peru, and he now occupies
n high judicial station, I proclaim here, as
far as my voice will go, that the most profit
able speculation a man who fought in tho
confederate army can now engage in Is to
advertise himself ready to enter the ranks
of tho republican party at a fair compen
sation. Governor Hnlden, of North Carolina,
was an original secessionist nnd a signer ot
tht ordinance of secession which took North
Carolina out of the Union. Tho republican
party, as soon as he joined its ranks, Its
unhallowed ranks down there I will not
quito apply that word to it up here made
him governor of tho state. Ho remained
governor until ho was Impeached ; but prov
en crimes did not seem to digrace him with
tlio republicans. Since then he has been
appointed postmaster at Raleigh and con
firmed by the senate, and ho is tlicro now at
a good wholesome salary. Every weak or
treacherous man In the south who for love
of gain desires to abandon his friends and
prey upon his own people is thus reward
ed. Take the Harringers ; ono of them is a
Uuited States judge in Egypt. They were
confederates ; they aro republicans now, nnd
they are cared for. Tho United States dis
trict attorney of North Carolina, Mr. Lusk,
was an ollicer In tho confederate army, and
ho was confirmed here. IIo was coufirmed
by tho senators whose souls shrink from con
tact with a confederate officer unless he is a
republican, Mr. Youug was a confederate
officer and he is now one of tho revenue col
lectors of that state.
Going on down the Atlantic coast and wo

James L. Orr was once speaker of the houso
of representatives and I speak of him with
respect ; he is dead. I knew him well. Ho
went into secession, and armed rebellion,
and was a confederate officer. Ho after
wards joined the republican party ; and
what a place they gave him 1 They made
him minister to Russia. If not ono of first
class missions, it is the foremost of the sec
ond class. I believe it does not rank with
the first.
Mr. Conkling. It does.
Mr. Blaine. It does now.
Mr. Voorhees. Then it was ono of tlio
four first class missions, England, Franco,
Germany, Russia ; and this confederate
officer received it as his reward for joining
tho republican party. I know what my
friend from Illinois (Mr. Logan) is saying to
himself. He is mentally exclaiming,
"Would to God that some of my comrades
who fought under the old Hag could have a
great piaco like that." I cannot bo mistak
en ns to what is going on in the breast of
that hard fighting federal soldier. I think
even my genial friend from Rhode Island
(Mr. Iltirnside) has his conscience somewhat
piickened if not entirely aroused on the
subject by this time.
Colonel Northup, of South Carolina, is
now United States district attorney ; he was
an officer in the confederate army.
We move on again and pause next in tho
Mississippi, tho land of the brave and warm
hearted, as I know, for I have been there ;
the land of genius, because tho senator from
Mississippi sitting behind me Mr. Latnarl
has his home there. Let us see how the re
publican party has managed its affairs in
that state. Major Morphis was the most
prominent scout of General Stephen D.
Lee's command and he is now the United
States marshal for tho northern district of
Mississippi.
Captain G. W. Hunt was an aid to Gen
eral Hardee, and he is now the United
States marshal for tho southern district of
Mississippi, Ah ! how the good things
como to the regenerate I Thomas Walton
I knew him ; he is in his grave, and peace
to liis ashes was an aid to General Long-
street, lie was appointed United States
district attorney ; and after his death he
was succeeded by GrPen Chandler, a confed
erate officer who was at that tlmo United
States mail agent, and is now United States
district attorney in the place of Walton, de

Colonel G. W. Henderson was a colonel
of cavalry in Gen. Chalmer' division. He
is now receiving tho reward of his services
as a United States revenuo collector ; and in
order to make you feel proud of your party
in Mississippi and to finish up my work
properly it only remains for me state that the
republican candidate for Btate auditor in
1S75 was Captain Buchanan, captain of tho
second Missouri Cavalry at Fort Pillow, He
is said, according to all accounts, to have
fought fiercely in that memorablo battle.
Yet hereceived all the votes the republican
party had to give as well as the prayers of
his northern friends who could not go to
the polls to vote for him. With what de
vout aspiration the senator from Maine
hoped for his success, and I have no doubt
be could get up now and prove that he would
have been elected if his supporters had not
been bulldozed. Yes, he was a captain fight

Take next Louisiana, that fated region of

We have known it long as the land of tho

of the stalwart liars, as disclosed within the
last few weeks In this capltol. Let the cur
tain be raised and let us look at somo feder

was long in office there and who has mado a

When the history of the late sectional
war shall bo written, alongside of the names
of Gordon nnd Stonewall Jackson, of Joseph
K. Johnston and Albert Sidney Johnston,
will be written In living letters the military
achievements of James Longstreet. Yet
nothing stood between him and civil prefer
ment tho movement ho was willing to turn
his back upon his old comrade: who had
shared with him tho bloody charge, tho
nightly bivouac,- and tho overwhelming dis
aster that fell upon them at tho close. And
am I to sit still in my seat and hear
hourly reproaches from the mouths of men
who have confirmed James Longstreet to a
civil office, because this side of the chamber
is composed In part of those who were in the
samo contest by his side? No, sir, I do not
propose to do it. I propose to appeal to
fairness, for common honesty, and common
decency to the country upon this question.
I do not Intend that the record shall be
mado up in tho Interest of Injustice. It is
not in tlio power of republican senators to
make It up In the. way they proposo, for
the truth is not their way. Their accusa
tions shall recoil on their own heads. Their
charges rest upon false foundations. If
thero is guilt at all on this subject the lead
ers of tho republican party are themselves
the guilty parties. Other officers may be
cited in Louisiana. Colonel Wharton is
United States marshal. He was a confeder
ate officer. Colonel Wm.H. tfough Is a
district judge, Mr. Leonard is a United

TOO MUCH SCIENCE.
The London Lancet is constantly finding
out something or other to make people ner
vous. Some time ago it showed that the
consequence of getting one's head 'sham
pooed' at a barber's was an attack of ty
phoid fever. So people gave up being sham
pooed, especially tho people with bald heads.
Then it discovered that every house was fill
ed with sewer gas, and that wo were all go
ing to bo poisoned. Then there was death
n tho milk, and that was banished from the
tabic. Next the Lancet discovered that a
couple of glasses of wine a day wero fatal
to the constitution, and it followed this up
by announcing that the water of London
was very dangerous, so that at this moment
it has left nothing whatever to drink. Then
it clearly proved that jam-tarts were bad for
tho health, but most people who had tried
them in sufficient quantities had found that
out before. The reason assigned by the
Lancet was that the jam in the tart was
doctored. Having thus deprived us of the
two chief articles of sustenance, jam-tarts
and milk, the Lancet wishes us to leave off
wearing clean linen. It says that the laun
dresses livo in 'infected' places, and that we
run the risk of catching small-pox and scar
let fever from the clothes they bring home,
The samo thing is true oi tailors ; so that
tho only really safe course now open to us
is to go without food and without clothes,
In this condition wo must not go Indoors for

"HAY-FOOT I STRAW-FOOT I"
Many boys and girls may have heard
these words applied in a derisive way to
raw recruits who wero making a beginning
n their military education by learning to
march ; but few young people or old ones,
either know how tho terms originated.
During tho war of 1812, there was a great
deal of drilling and training among the
militia-men all over the country, especially
In the larger cities nnd towns, where tho
principal recruiting stations were situated.
In New York City, much of the drilling of
newly enlisted men was done In what Is uow
City Hall Park, in front of a tavern which
stood where the iSra newspaper building ls
located, Manyoftheso would-be soldiers
werejfrom the country, nnd these, of course,
knew nothing at all about marching in mil
itary fashion. They could walk far enough,
some of them, and work as hard and bear as
much fatigue ns any soldier In a regular
army ; but they walked as they please, and
bad no Ideas about such things as "keeping
step." It Is even said that there were fel
lows among them who did not know their
right foot from their left, and who were
therefore continually getting themselves and
their companions into disorder by mixing
up their legs, that is, moving out their
right leg when the officer who was drilling
them called out "Left," and the other leg
when he called out "Right." If they could
ave put both legs forward at once, It is
probable that they .would sometimes have
dono so.
To make tlieso men understand exactly
which leg was meant when the officer gave
his orders, a curious plan was devised.
Around the right leg of oacii man, just
below tho knee, was tied a whiap of hay,
while a whlsp of straw was tied around the
left leg. Now, these country fellows knew
very well the'.dlfterence betweon hay and
straw, and so, when they wero ranged in
line and the officer gave the word to march,
and called out, "Hay-loot! straw-foot!
hay-foot! straw-foot," each one of them un
derstood exactly which was the foot ho must
put forward.
It sometimes happened, however, that a
man would be so busy observing his con-
panious, aud perhaps making fun, at the
same time, of their 'attempts to walk liko
soldiers, that he would forget bis own bus
iness, and put forward his "straw-foot,"
when 'hay-foot' was called for.
It must have been funny to see tbeso raw
recruits here a country ostler in high boots
and striped shirt ; there a farmer in his shirt
sleeves and broad straw hat ; then, perhaps,
village doctor or school-master, with his
high beaver hat and his spectacles, with a
tall boy near in to;, and short jacket all
marching side by side, with hands down by
their sides, thumbs turned out, eyes fixed
on the officer as he stepped backward be
fore them, and all keeping time to the mon
otonous call of "Hay-foot I straw-footl
hay-foot I straw-foot I"
The regular soldiers who may Dave been
drilling at tho same time probably smiled,
f they did not dare to laugh, at these queer-
looking men,with their hay and straw bound
legs ; but the mothers and fathers and sis
ters of tho recruits, if any o f them chanced
to come to town to see their sons or brothers
drill, doubtless thought the affair a fine. mil
itary display, and that Jeremiah or Caleb
would be a general yet, if tho war lasted
ong enough. SI. Nicholas for July.
THE UOY-SUEl'UERDS.
A correspondent of the American Agri
culturist, traveling in the far West, writes
of the herders of Laramio Plains, and of
Mr. Edward Farrcll and his boys, and
sight that surprised him in one of the green
Nebraska valleys :
The Far rolls cave us a most hospitablo
reception. We bade them good-bye late in
the afternoon, turned off to the right of
Sheep Mountain, and entering a narrow
plain between high ranges of hills, spurred
forward our jaded animals, until Ithe gath
cring shadows warned us that wo could pro
ceed no further with safety.
At daybreak wo 'spied a large flock of
sheep in a coral close by a rude cabin or
dugout, in which wero two boys, sons of
Mr. Farrell Here, twelve miles or more
from home, they had been tending a flock
of two thousand three hundred sheep during
the entire season.
They shot their game with an old rifle,
did their own cooking, and lived entirely
alone, with their dogs and two ponies, em
ployed in herding their sheep. They alter
nateu in watcnlng tho alieep, which were
driven into the coral every night, as aj pro
tection against, bears, wolves, and other
wild animals.
An antelope which one of them.bad shot
the day previous was suspended near the
door 0 f the cabin. There was a good range
here, and the father had, In the springtime
sent the sheep and boys to possess it.
xou will be surprised when 1 tell you
that these lads, instrusted with the care of
over two thousand sheep, and living here in
this remote, secluded spot, were only elev
en and thirteen years of age. It is astonish
lng, the early self-reliance which these fron
tier children display, and the skill which, as
mere urchins, they attain in herding sheep.
ACCURACY OF ELECTRICAL SCIENCE.
A triumph of electrical science is thus ex
plained by the Philadelphia Lt&ntr ;
In the cablo news of .Monday it was stated
that the French Atlantic cable Jwas "broken
one hundred and sixty-one miles from St,
Pierre, Miquelon, In five hundred fathoms
water. '
inese lew worus snow one 01 the many
triumphs 01 modern electrical science
Here is a wire cord buried under three'
fifths of a mile of water of ocean, and
hundred and sixty miles from land, and yet
the people on Bhore can exactly locate the
point at which it is broken !
Strange as that seems, it is actually done
and has been Mme and again. Tho repair
ing vessels will go out to the indicated
point throw over their grappllogdiooks, and
within a few huudred yards will find the
broken ends and splice them.!
This wonder Is accomplished first by exact
knowledge of tho laws of electricity, which
make known what amount of current wire
ofa given dimension will carry, and the
reslstauce it must overcome in toing a given
distance; and next, by the instruments
made by the mechanicians of our day
which will make the operation of both law
visible to the experienced observer, even Is
the break in the cable 'is a thousand mlief
away and two miles under tho sea.
