Mr. l'n-HitK'nt, I slmll endiovor to aluto ft Metiy an I on tnv views upon lllirl riulijcct.

These amend ment ufl'ect the btirilena of the people, and In my jnttnuiit Itiu hour urn come in which wo imint uoo law, practiee, ftiatoin, and every otlior power that ia given to uo n a parliamentary body under tuo law ot tlio country, lo reauoo and leanon the burdetiH of the people. If a technical rulo ia in tho way, and that rulo haa been ameliorated by practieo and ctiatom, wo ahotiltl stand by that practice and eiitom ; for it ia in a good cause the causa of tho peo ple IhemselveH. When the time comoa lo enact a rulo or a statute mat givon tho form of legislation in the proper direction, 1 will go with tho Senator ; but now that tho innustnea or the peo ple aro panilyr.eil, that tho people are suffering, it is no linio for the introduc tion of technicalities or persistent ad liercnco to rules. Wo ought to follow practice in a good cnuse. Tho Senato cannot austnin itself agninst a jnst demand lor retrenchment upon any such technical position, if ithaaboen tho practieo of this body lor sixteen years to rcduco appropriations in ap propriation bills over the law, then thui is not tho bour in which the Semite can sustain itself in the face of tho country in retracing Ita steps upon that I practieo. , Jlr. fresitlent. enough on ttintsiiu- jeet. Let us take tho bill as we find it, and see what it is. in justice to myself, I must say that I was not with tho committee who considered this bill. I was confined to my room and was iinablo to bo with tho couiinitteo, so that 1 tlid not aid ill tho consideration of it ; but I tnko tho hill as 1 find it, aa it comes to the Sennto from its com mittee, anil I noo that it reduces tho cost of diplomatic service proper 8UH, 5IMI. How aro these reduction! mado? By reducing four firat-rlau1 missions from t517,MIO to $14,(1(10 ; by reducing tho mission to Italy (rom'12,000 to 88,(100 ; by reducing six other missions Irom 12,000 to (10,000; by consolida ting tho small missions to the 8nuth American Slntea ; by consolidating iIioho to the small Kuropenn States ; by reducing the mission to tho Hawaiian Islands from I7.&OH to s:i,aiio ; ny amp piuir Hitvti, a (7.&00 mission, and sond uitr there a consul ; by reducing tho amount given for rtif interim oHIccrB 10,000; by reducing the contingent expenses lor foreign intercourse tmm 1100,1)00 to tuO.Otli). All of tbesot be Henate commilteo restore, and sk that the bill thus unloaded and Increased shull he pluced tiiou the statute book ; that the KIM. 500 deducted by the House Irom tho diplomatic acmco ahull he restored III wortl and letlor. What aro the reasons given for thia ? The- are, find, because the law so pro vides. Ibis is no good reason, as i havo already said, under tho existing condition of fiffitlrs. Second, because there has been no change in theae liirurca lor twenty years. 1 ho Mena- tot from California is mistaken ; the statutes show that ho is mistaken Compare 1870 with lSTfi.and t-on will demonstrate by liictsj figures, and the law itttell. that tliero have been in creases and changes made.

In tho fuce nf this ia there no nronriotv in making changes or reductions ? Is not tho consolidation of missions wise ? It is laid it is agniust tho interests of commerce. Let ns take a specimen of tho commerce Btioctccl By tlio very amendment pending, nnd see how that nucatlon la changed ny our examina tion. ' Tho President pro trmjxirc. ThePcna tor's timo has expired. Mr. Bayard. 1 ask that tlio timo of tho Senator from Pennsylvania be ex tended. Tho President pro temport. The chair hears no objection. Mr. Wallace. Tho Argentine Re public, which ia a full mission at (7,500, was found In 1870 to have imports rrom us to the amount of 16,414,669. By tho tables in 1875 she is found to havo but $5,031,709, a positive decrease of more than half a million. It was less in 1874, for then they were but $4,537,000. In 1870 hor domestic ex ports worn $2,281,100 ; in 1875 they were $1,301,294. Hero is a specimen of tho rrrowth of commerce in a mission which is restored, over the protost of (ho other branch ot Congress, to the full amount of $7,500. Take Peru. In 1870 her imports were $2,5.17,833 ; in 1875 tboy were $1,324,595, and from 1870 to 1876 tliero have been steady decreases. In 1870 hor domestio exports wore $3,077,262; in 1875, $2,443,G57, and in 1874 thoy wore $2,5 1 8,000. Yot Pern is restored as a full $10,000 mission. Tho bill, as it came to tho Senate, consolidates Poru, a mission of $10,000, with Kcirn dor and Columbia at $7,500 each $25,- 000 of expenditures down to $6,500, and tlio rienato bill restores tho full figures. Hero is a difference of (18, 500 placed upon this bill over tho pro test of the House, in the fuco of lucts and figures that the commerce M tho Uuitod States with thoso countries has in the past six years absolutely dimin ished. What vindication can there bo in tho face nf theso figures for tho increase ot these 'missions over the figures Bent to na by the House of KeiiroscntattvcB r The mission to Swllierlund, reduced to $11,500 by tho Bouse, is increased to $7,500. Sho sends hero no minister ; hor wholo foreign policy, as I find it written in 1872, Costs her but $42,000. llnlv. br this araonded bill, is restored to a fUll mission at $12,000, while tho bill as it came to us gave but $8,000. Horu Is a difference of (1,000. If 88,. 000 in cuiToncy bo sufficient for tlio salary of one ol your Cabinet ministers, why is not $8,000 in gold enough to nay tho salary ot your minister to Itulv ? I tliiiik the eountrv will oon- cluJe as tho llouso did upon that subject. Tho servico will not sufler. (iood men are plenty who will take theso missions; in the Republican party, oven, they aro without number, The true pol.oy f the fTOvnrnrnen. la - travagance or display, but it is modera tion and simplicity. Wbon we vote largo amounts of money, those who have their expenditure win itieviiauiy be extravagant ; a man with: a lull pocket will spend more money tnan a man who has comparatively an empty one, to bring into this argument tho bomoly doctrine ot individual and every day lifo, and that is the doctrine tho House has applied here. They aro the immediate representatives of the people; they hold thd purse, and if their advice is not to be hearkened to on these questions, where shall we get advice r Now wo come to the consular sys tem, for I have thus far confined my self exclusively to the diplomatic serv ico. Tho bill as it catuo to ns acted upon principle. 1 do not admit, and I cannot agree to tho propoBition, t lint too bill, as it caino from the llouso, was a simplo bowing and hacking nnd cutting, without foresight or without thought. Tliero is system in thoso reductions. and at the base of that system lied tho idea that reduction ol salaries, decrease of expenditures, a lessoning of the bur dens u tho people are the pressing ue mands of tho hour, and that we and they ahall bo faithless to our duty to the poopio ii wo ao not lessen iiteso expenses and reduce appropriations accordingly., - ., ; . Tho principle upon which tho hill, as It came tn ns, was based seems to bo first, reduction wherever compatible with tho mturcsts of tho public service : second, no business, no consulate. Where there is no business tn do, why should we havo a consul with a largo salary ? W here there is a compara tively small amount of business, Iho House sends a consul or agent with fees. Whom there aro but small amounts nf buainess, and the fees aro trifling, and yon find, as in one case which tho Monato commiUeo has re stored, a consulnto with but $2,000 and but $37 foes, is it wise to continue such a case and such a policy f . Aa the bill cuino to us, it left a consul at every port at which American vessels touch, some with salaries and some with fees. 1 aver that it Is wrong to pay a $2,000 sulury per annum to a consul when the port returns us Dill zuu rocs. ' itotn economy nnd common sense dictate Hint tliero should be somo change in such a policy and such a system, I quote now what the bilLas it rstne to us, eflects : ' .' ' .' : " Tho salaries of forty -fivo consulates are abolished, and the salaries ot others ore reduced. Three of the consulates whoso salaries are abolished paid tho consuls 13,500 each, or $10,500. .The tees collected at theso places for the year ending December 81, 1874, Were only $1,159.29. Tho salaries paid ex ceeded the fees Fcceived by $9,340.71. One of thoconsulatos abolished Ilako kadi, in Japan paid its consul a salary of $2,500 per annum. Tho foes col lected at this place for the year ending. Dec. 31, 1874, amounted 'to $303.0G; loss to tbo Government, $2, 1 96. Seven other consulates were in class V, and paid each a salary ol $2,000 ; total $14,- uuo.; i lie wtioie amount, oi lees col lected at theso consulates for tho rear ending Ioccmber3t, 1874, was $1,757. 79; kns to tho Government, $12,242.21.

PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1876. llukokadi Included, as I understand the Senator Irom Culitornia, (Mr. Bar- gont.l lie says; "The bill which I hold In my hand as it passed the House ol Representa tives, appropriated (912,747.50. Tho committee on appropriations of the Sonnto havo reported it bock, with amendments so thnt the amount isfl,- 341,647.50. Tho amnnnt of ntinropri Hons Inst yenr was (rl,317,9H5. That is to sny, tho bill which wo now report to tho Scnnlc, makes appropriations less tniin tnoso mado last year ny (33,337.50, Theso additions mado by the Senato committeo to tho llouso bill are Btnctly in accordance with tbo service ot lust year. There is not an instanco where wo bavo increased a salary or crcewd an offleo. Wo havo simply tried (0 presorvothc integrity ol the service for what we belicvo to bo high public reasons, Tho reduction of (33,000 and ovor ro from tho causes which I will now alato. Heretofore, and as tho bill ttw passed by the House tue amnnuensti ol Mr. richenck has been allowed (2,50d on account of tho Minister's crippled arm. llebcing no longer Minister, that itoin is not necessary for next year." We see from this that tho bill as It came to us saved tho people $402,238, as I belicvo without injuring the pub lic service to the extent of one dollar. The Senate bill restores $128,901 thereof. It does not take one dollar off cither the consular or diplomatic sorvice proper, savo Mr. Hchcnck'a amanuensis, (2,500. Mr. Sohenck hav ing returned to the country, bis aman uensis is not noccssary. 1 speak, nn- derstand, of the consular and diplomat le service proper, not of those appro priations which come upon the bills as extraneous matter.- - Now, the reasons given for (his res toration of (128,901 over tho llouso appropriation bill aro, first, tho law. i but law r i be law that rs written, says tlio Senator upon tho statute books ; but tbo law, ns 1 read it, is not obeyed. Let us soe; we take tho revised stat utes and the luw there, and then at tempt to find what this bill docs. I take the consul lo London'. I find tho revised statutes gives $7,500 salary, wlnlo this lull gives $0,000 ; to rarts, $5,000, and this bill givea $0,000 ; to Melbourne, (4,000, and this bill gives $4,500; to Kanngawa, $3,000, and this bill gives (1,000; to Vienna, (A.oou, and this hill gives $.'1,000; to MoxieoJ ei,uuu, nnu mis uill gives vj.nou ; 10 Liverpool, $7,500, ami this bill gives $0,000. These are enough, it seems to me, to show departure from the law as written, tint, says the nenator, this is not tho law as written. If it bo not tha law as written, thon the doctrine thnt we can and may make changes of salaries in appropriation bills comes home to the Senator and the Senate as Into as 1874 ; for I find in tho appro priation bill of 1874 tho only authori ty given for theso changes in the amounts nnpropriated tn these, dincr eul consuls, nf.., .0. isea fuulutcs give tho figures $7,500 for Ijondon, as an instnnco, while the amiroprintion bill of 1874 changes tho (aw as found in tho revised statutes, and reduces the consulate at London, to $0,000, and the others that 1 have referred to fol low in the samo category. Hero we find the direct evidence, the clear proof, aud ths Senato committeo bos recognlr.ed that changes can be made in appropriation bills affecting lbs pub lic servico. Here is a precedent that the 'Henato-itsolf has mado Vvaliin two yoarw ; a precedent that it cannot vio late in the present condition ol tho country. 1 be second reason given why tuese changes are mado and the llouso bill is not pormittcd to oxi't as it was, is tbo necessities ol commerce. l;et us take some specimens on that subject, and seo what the necessities of com merce aro as affected by tho .Senate committee's amendment. Tbo consul at Chin-Kiang, in China, is restored witb a salary ol :i,ouo. 1 no loos shown by the report from official sources are $371.s4.- Ningpo is re stored with a salary of $3,000, and tho fees are $&74.84. Bwatow is restored with a salary of $3,500, and tho tees are $310.84. llukokadi is restored with a salary of $2,500, and the foes aro $303.00. Odessa is restored with tl, OOOsnlnry, and tho fees uro $189.03. Tamatave, in Madagascar, is restored with $2,000 salary, while tho fees are $37.42. - - These, il seems to mo, are aniplo to show that a consular agent with fees is all that ia reqaircd there, whon they wero taken in connection with the fact that from lH'O to 1870 at most of theso points, commerce has decreased antl not increased, and when lite tubu lar statements and returns from the official sources show Unit the few aro vastly less than tho salaries voted There is no prohibition, ns 1 under stand it, forbidding consular ngnnls, who have chnrgo ol our affairs, where thoy receive fees from engaging in bti stnoHS, but tlio contrary. Tho action of tho other branch of Congress ujion this subject mav bo harsh treatment to those who hold these sinecures, but is that any reason why wo should not tako a step in tho direction of reduc tion of puhlio expenses f The public good demands a reduction ol public ex penditure, und it is only when, in tak ing cam of tho public purso we dos tnry tlio public service, that we must bo held up to an appropriation hereto fore provided Ibr by law. ' Commerce will not sutler. Senators need not be alarmed on t'jat subject. Substituting consuls with fees for consuls with sal aries is no new policy. Again I quote; "There are now eighty-nine consuls of the United Males in different parts of the world w ho receive mi salaries, among them the consul nt lihciius, in France, where the fees amount to II,- 600.50 i, thfl ci ysul at Brunswick, in Germany, whose lees amount lo t-, 498.25: tbo consul nt Victoria, whose fees amount lo $3,306.35, and mtiny other places of . equal imporlaneo. There arc eighty-uino console who gut no salary at tins lime, and only 188 consult,, consuls generals, and vice con- j sills who recuivv salaries. Yet tiiere are 357 consular agoncies whose ucenls got no salaries except the Iocs collect ed up to 11,000. The fees collected above that sum, are paid over to the consul, who retains $1,000 from all bis agoncies and pays the balance into the t reasury. : , , : Our consular officers under tha Son ata bill will bo: ., ' . .

Leaving out of view everything but, tbo diplomatic and consular service proper, ws find that in 1H7U tho diplomatic salaries proper wore (337,800. Under tbe Senate bill they are $391,500. Contingent ex penses ol loreign intercourse wore $100,0(10, and they are (100,000 now Consular salaries then wero $414,800; to-duy they are (540,500. Then the cnntihiront expenses of consulates wero $83,000, and by this bill they are $131,- soo. bo that irom imvu to una Rill and tho approprintiona of lust year, wo nnd that- tbe totals imve increased from (955.650 to $1,109,750, making an increase since 1870 of $214,000. , So, too, with aggrcguto ordinary not expenses, in 1870 they wore (104,- 000 ooo; in 1872 tbey wore but (1S3,- 000,000; in 1876 they aro $179,000, 000. Can the Government not be con ducted as chiefly now as it was in iHiit is there any reason why flo,- 000,000 of increase in the net ordinary expenses ot the government shall be maintained and continued from 1870 to 1876? If it be good doctrino to maintain sinecure consulates, to con tinue increases in diplomatio inter course', if it bo to keep thirty-one min isters abroad whilo we receivo but twenty-two, if it be to maintain lull missions were our commerce is in creasing if that bo the tree policy of a suffering and plain people, then con tinue this policy, if it be not, let us hearken to the representatives ol tho poopio when they send us their bills and reduce and retrench where We can. It is said by a Senator that this is one of tho results of the war. I say, on tho contrary, it is tho result of du rrv'rnlir.ntion among the people and ex travagance In governmental expendi ture.

Unite in thought at tho samo instant tho most beautiful objects iu nature ; suppose you seo at all hours ot tho duy uud all seasons of the year, morning ol anting and a morning ot Autumn; a night bespangled with stats and a night covered with clouds ; meadows covered with flowers, and forests heavy with snow ; fiolds gilded by tints of Autumn; then alone you win nave a just conception 01 tbo uni verse Wbilo you are gnxing on tho sun which is ploughing under the vault of tho west, another observer ad mires him emerging from the gilded gates ol Ilia east.

' '. , WOMAN'S INFLUENCE. , Woman's influeneo differs greatly fiom that of man. Hor power lies in her weakness. , In her band she holds a more potent sceptre than that wield ed by the most potent monarch. In the great social aud morel reforms car ried on from timo to time, we find that women have taken un active part. . As woman's influeneo is so great, her responsibility is great In propor tion.

But this is not so vory singular, when wo reflect that, not niiirequcntiy, man no more knows what becomes (' his influence and example, that arc bnrno fur bo yond his ken on then-uncertain mission, than does tbo flower know what be comes of its odor, which is wafted away upon tbe passing breeze. Great deeds produce groat results; but little every day occurrences seem too trivial to be ol weight or durability, and the com mon but dangerous sentiment, that snob or such event will mako no differ ence a hundred years hence, creeps un bidden into our hearts. The thuuder and the lightning attract more atten tion than the silent dew, but do tbey accomplish more good 7 Truly, life is made up of little things. It was a mother's kiss which mado a well-renowned painter of Benjamin West.

' The following is an abstract ot the report of tbe apoaial committee ap pointed by the Senato to visit the fish way at Columbia, and the Stato hatch ing house at Donegal Springs, Lancas ter county, recently presenied lo Iho Scnitlc: ; ' Thevisil of Ibe committee In thoi. Stato hutching hnutm was mado on iho 4th just., and wna In overy way sutis- luctorv. 1 hey found the State bntcb ing house in perfect order, supplied with apparently inexhaustible quanti ties of pure water, there being imme diately in its vicinity two very copious springs, which seem to bo abundant and perennial in their flow; having been known to tbe neifihborhood for generations ss tbe Douegal Borings of Lancaster eountrr. J lis hntchino- nouBe Is in sue about 100 tect by 30, consisting of one large room with a small office parlitioned frora the rest in a corner oi tbo building. -V early tbo wholo area waa filled with trougha constantly running with the present spring water, and in these ware con. tained in tbe most boaltby activity no loss than 465,000 California salmon which bad been received in October last Irom tbo Pacilio slope, while still confined to tho egg. Tbo number of eggs shipped across the continent was 4HO,000, ot which more than 10,000 were lost from various causos and ac cidents on tbo way and tho process of hatching out and nursing, alter hatching, has lost scarcely 6,000 more. Tbose fish are, at this moment, ready lor distribution, and within a few days will be placed in the waters ot the Sus quehanna and its tributaries. The first deposit of about 7,000 was made in tho spring of 1873, and the success of tho experiment will not be fully known before 1877. In addilion to tbe California salmon mentioned, the committee found between 30,00 and 40,000 of the fry or lake trout These are tor distribution in tho pure lake waters of the State and at the proper time will be sent out. Ths committee found also that the commissioners had captured a number, some thirty or torty, adult specimens or tbo .Susque hanna salmon, or pike perch, as it ia also called. Theso they retain for the purpose oi learning how to propagate thom artificially, if it is practicable, a process which will increase their num ber more than 1,000 per cent. it seems to bo extremely difficult to make a fish way that will offer induce ments for the ti mid shad to pass through it. For that they bave heard of, above no fishways in the world, except thoso of Pennsylvania, have shad been as yet caught in anything bko apprecia ble numbers. To a certain extent our Pennsylvania commissioners believe they are pursuing ths subject now lib care and intelligence, so mat 11 the thing is to bo done they hope to be able lo do It. The committee, after tbeir visit, feel to further progress in the propagation and protection of Iood fishes. Groat advances bave already been made, and greater are promised in tho near future. Should tbe California salmon suoceed, as for instance the black baas have suc ceeded, and scores of thousands of Cali fornia salmon have been introduoed for scores alone of the other fish, there ii no calculating the benefit it would lie to our people. A bow special com modity would be added to the present onormous wealth of Pennsylvania an annual product added to tho agricul tural and mineral richness of tbe Stale. In conclusion, the committee do not in the least doubt the conscientious administration of the funds placed at their disposal, nor do tbey feartbatany moderate amount of money further ad vanced for tbe propagation and pro pagation and protection of food-fishes or for the exhibition of ths processes therewith connected, at the approach ing world's fair, will be in any man ner misappropriated by tbo honorable gentlemen composing the fisheries board. A MoTnxR's Example. Tho first book read, and the last hook laid aside, by every child, is the conduct ot its mother.

Bo sure that you nevor corroct a child until you know it de serves correction. Hear its story tirst and fully. Never allow your child to whine, fret, or to bear grudges. Early inculcate lranknoss, candor, generosi ty, magnanimity, patriotism, and aelt- lenial.

Irressolntion is a fatal habit ; is not vicious in itself, but it leads to vico, creeping upon its vic tims witb a fatul lacility, tho penalty of which many a fine heart baa paid at the scaffold. The idler, thcspendlhrifl, tbe epicurean, and tho drunkard are among its victims. Perhaps in the latter ita effects appear in tho most hideous form. He k nows that the gob let which he is about to drain is poison, yot he swallows it, ' Ho knows, for tho examplo ol thousands has painted it in irlnrinor colors, that it will deaden all his faculties, take the strength trow his limbs and tho happiness from bis heart, oppress l im with disease, and hurry bis progress to a dishonored gravo.yet he drains it. - How beautiful, on tho oontrary, ia ths power of resolution, enabling the one who possess it to pass through perils and dangers, trials snd temptations. Avoid, then, the contraction of tho habit of irresolution. Strive against it to the end. KsiriNO ma Law.

If a man ia a judicious manugur, and has a corroct undorstaudiug ot alt the details incident to raising coarse f;rain, maintaining tbe fertility of his and, and making beef, mutton, and pork, be can make more money by having bis grain consumed at horn and changed into meat than can bs mado by selling it. In a practical point of viow this is nothing more thaa What farmers on the Western prairies aro In tbe habit of doing every yoar. Wbon tboircorn is abundant and cheap, instead of paying tbe railroad compa nies two bushels to convoy one to mar ket, they turn It into pork, and in this condensed form ship it all over tha Union, at a profit. Fsrmors in Europe can buy wheat cheaper and better than tbey can grow It, while they can raise tbe beat beef and mutton in the world. and enough of it, by simply patting their wheat fields into grass. We can furnish England witb all tho wheat she wants witb less trouble and risk than wc can ship fresh meat, though wo have an aluindnnt supply of beef, Krk, antl good manure. 'V '"'"ntroductioii ol atcum-powcr iu mien n vuni U.11UI11 un lb in novr em ployed ill propelling ocean steamers and railroad cars, space has been al most annihilated. The high price of farming land in England, added to the uncertainties of ber climate, makes wheat the most precarious and on profitable of all her agricultural crops. The average annual whoatdeficiency of England ia estimated at 96,000,000 bushels, snd Mr. Scott thinks that this deficiency or the greater portion of it may be obtained from tbo United States ; itussia, however, would sap. ny a large quantity. 11 Is quite proba te that England would largely profit hv this ch&tiirn. SB ahn would thna ho ablo to raise her own meat, and ob viate tho necessity of importing cattle and preserved meats from abroad. In order to derive tbe greatest possi ble advantage from the practice of making beef or mutton to sell in lieu of coarse grain, the manure made by live stock must be husbanded and ap plied judiciously to the soil. If neat catllo are fattened on tho coarse grain produced on a larm, and tbojr manure ib wasted, tbe practice of making beef will end in a grievous failure. PractU cal Farmtr. SOUL RECOGNITION. Why do we not always smilo when we meet the eye of a fellow-being ? That is tbe truo and intended recogni tion which ought to pass from soul to soul constantly. Little children in simple communities do this involuntar ily, unconsciously. The honest-hearted Gorman peasant does it. It is like magical sunlight through that simple land, tbo perpetual greeting on the right band and on the left, between strangers as they pass by each othor, never without a smile. This, then, is tho "lino art of smiling," like all fine arts, the simplest following of nature. Mow and tben one sees a lace which bos kept its smile pure and undeSlod. It is a woman's face usually ; often a fuco which has traces of great sorrow all over it till the smile breaks. Such smile transfigures ; such a amile if the artful did but know it. ia tho srreat- ost woupon a fuce can bave ; sickness and age cannot turn its edge ; hostility and distrust cannot withstand its spell; even dumb animals come close and look up for another. If wo were asked to sum up in one simplo rule what would most conduce to beauty in the human face, we would say, therefore, "Never tamper with your smile ; nevor once nse it for a purpose. Jjct It be In yonr lace, like ito,rfir.'ifit0o,i,,Df MM fS" iete - will must bo perpetual, and your lace must nover bo overcast." Tbe Czar Nicholas, who had fine qualities, was once hardened against an act of clemency by the undaunted spirit of a prisoner. Jielieff, a man of letters, had been implicated in the con spiracy of Decern ber, 1825, and sen tenced to be banged, lie was actually launched from the fatal ladder, when the rope broke and be was thrown to the ground, sevorely bruised but con scious, llepiekod himself upand said, quietly : " Tbey can do nothing in Russia, not even twine a cord proper ly." It was formerly tbe custom in Russia to arrant a pardon to tbe con demned who seemed to be tbua saved by the special Interposition of Provi dence. Nicholas was infonnej of the accident and bis pleasure demanded. "What did Belieff say?" demanded tho Emperor. "Sire," replied tho messenger, " ho said that they could not even twine a cord properly in Rus sia." "Prove to him tbo contrary," rejoined Nicholas. KitCarson's Remains. The Rocky Mountain Herald, in an article upon Kit Carson, says "his body now lies chucked away in a cayote patch, un der tho sbado of a couple of cotton- woods, on tbe Arkansas (southern Colorado), without .evon a piece of picket railing to protect his grave from the prowling wolves, or even a pencil mark on a shingle for a headstone, to tell that Kit Carson sleeps beneath it." Surely the scores of people who are under obligations to Kit Carson lor at tention and protection on tbe pratnos and in the mountaius of the Far West will not suffer such a state of things to continue. If republic are sometimes forgetful, let not tho people mn in the same way. Success. Every man must pationt ly bido his time. He must wait, not in listless idleness, not in useless pas time, not in querulous dejection, but in constant, steady fulfilling and accom plinbing bia lank, that when the occa sion cornea he may be equal to it. The talent of aucceas is nothing more than doing what you can do well, without a thought of fame. It it comes at all, it will come because it is deserved, not because it ia Bought after. It Is a very indiscreet and tronbluenmo ambition which cares so much what ths world says of us ; to bo always anxious about the effect of what wo do or say ; to be always shouting to hear the echo of our own voices. Like flakes of snow, that fall unper ceived upon tbe earth, the seemingly unimportant events of life succeed one another. Aa the snow gathers togeth er, so aro our habits formed. No sin gle flake that is added to the pile pro duces a sensible change o single action creates, however it may exhibit, a man's character ; but as tbe tempest hurls tbe avalanche down the moun tain, and overwhelms the inhabitant and bis habitation, ao passion, acting upon the elements of mischief, which norniriousbsbits have brought together by imperceptible accumulation, may overthrow the edifice ol truth and virtue. , Lamar on Woman's Ruibts. One of the strong-minded in Washington interviewed Colonel Lamar, ol Missis sippi, the other dsy saying she believed the women ol the Mouth coveted the ballot. ; "Possibly," said Mr. Lamar, "but do you know what yon want tar more than any franchise? Yon want a husband and a bady." Ths woman looked down thoughtfully, and mur mured) half to bereewlf.
