IX THE U.S. SKNATE,
ON WKINi.nAY, MARCH 'IK, IHKi.
Mr. Waixack. Mr. l'n-HitK'nt, I slmll

alionltl prokniK my rvtnuiks beyond
tho nvo iiuiiiiti'n m-cornru mo, 1 iruat
tlm fitinutrir from Cnlilbrnia will per
mit mo to go on.
I fierce Cully willi iSenutoin who
have apoken on tho nuhject, that bod
cusioiTin ouht to bo ubollnhed ; m'l II
tho eiiritoin ol making nmeiKlmenla
which bepome i;pnertil tuw on ttpyiro-
irijition billx l)itrfrown up in the Son
u to. it in time it xhould bo itbolirilicd,
und 1 will go with llio Scnutor in hia
movement in that direction, lint, Hir,
this Ik not tho time nor tho oteoHion to
correct that iirnctica. 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 1870

CLEARFIELD,
Wo receive twenty-two ministers,
and wo sond abroad thirty-one. 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-

bomoly doctrine ot individual and

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

PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN.
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. : , ,

ing an increase from 1870 to 1876, of
(431,600.
The contingent expenses of consul
litis in 1870 were (3,Otrll; they aro
now (131,850, making an Int reaso of

Lot us oxamino this matter in detail,
and 1 havo done. Leaving out of view
everything but, tbo diplomatic and
consular service proper, ws find that
in 1H7U tho diplomatic salaries proper

they are $391,500. Contingent ex

$100,0(10, and they are (100,000 now
Consular salaries then wero $414,800;
to-duy they are (540,500. Then the

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,

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. Is it not the resistless force of
power nnd public putronarro impelling
forward those who are in control?
Power inovitably gathorstoilself more
and more as il govs forward. It is so
with thoso who control the govern
ment forces now. They cannot stop
if they would.. Tbey aro pressed for

IS THERE A GODt .
' How eloquently docs Chateaubriand
reply to 'his inquiry : There ia a God I
The herb of the valley, tbe cedars ol
tho mountains bless Him; tbe insect
sports His beams; the olephant sa
lutes Him with ths rising orb of the
day ; tha bird sing to Him in the foli
age; the thunder proclaims Him in
tho heavens; the ocean declares Ilia
immensity; mnnalonoiiassaid, "There
ia no God." . 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

able magio does that aged star, which
is sinking fatigued and burning in tbo
shailo ol the evening, reappear at the
sumo timo, fresh and humid with tbe
rosy dews of tho morning? At every
instant of tho day, tho glorious orb is
at once rising, resplendent at noon day,

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. Upon- her devolves the duly of
training up thai future men of tbe na
tion. ' It is the mother who moulds
tho character 1 under her gentle influ
ence the youthful mind receives its
Hint impressions. In society she is
queen, and loo olten lures bor subjects
lo destruction. ' Too often tbo glass of
spurkling wino proffered by the fair
hund of woman has proven tho utter
ruin and dcgrcdalion of a man strong
in intellect. II is true, a man should
bavo stamina enough to refusa tho
temptation, but if ho bavo not, woman
should not be the tempter. Many a
wile bitterly deplores tlio clTect ot a
first glass, ami many a child is cut lo
tho heart by the knowledge that its
ftither waa a drunkard.
A woman must bs careful in her de

INFLUENCE.
How little do people in general think
of the influence of things at the time
of their occurrence especially of the
infinence of little things. 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

second time lie signed it, and this time,

from so weak a beginning arose the

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

process which will increase their num

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

ner misappropriated by tbo honorable
gentlemen composing the fisheries
board.

RAISINO a BAIN AND MAKING

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

pork, be can make more money by
having bis grain consumed at horn
and changed into meat than can bs

point of viow this is nothing more thaa

and enough of it, by simply patting
their wheat fields into grass. We can

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.

In order to derive tbe greatest possi

making beef or mutton to sell in lieu
of coarse grain, the manure made by
live stock must be husbanded and ap

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. ,
