T1IK CAKKEK Of A rilll,08(lMUtt WHO rtAVES A DEEP IUPKKHSION ON tlOl'EHN THOVOIIT. Lanoa.tor latrlligonaer. 'J liumns Cttilylo was a contributor to tbo Lontlun MtiijiKine as long ago as 18l.'l. Ilo was born ut Ecclefechan. I'uinlriesliiro, Scotland, on the 4th of Decern her, 7Uj, and died February Mb, 1881. Hu was a fellow-student with Edward Irving, who was three years older than himcU,ut Edinburgh. When 18 years old ho became an 09 Bistunt teacher ut Kirkcaldy, whero, ho used to say, ho and Irving "strove by virtuo of birch and book to initiate the urchins into whnt is called tho rudiments of learning." Although des lined by his parents for tho ministry, and studying for a timo with lhat do sign, he umnd that rending and study hud led him aw ay from tho faith of bis fathers, and he ubunilonctl tho notion ot becoming u preacher. Ilo was an anient student always, und while set mg as tutor in a private family mado bimxclf muster of the (lerninn Iuol'iiiil'O und literature Ilo wroto an "Essay on Proportion," which was prefixed to a translation of Legendre's geometry. His "Life of Schiller" was published in tho London Magazine. Ho translated tiootho's "Wilhelm Meistcr" in 1824, "Specimens of German Komanoe" in 1827, and furnished many biographies trom time to timo to tho Edinburgh Cyclopedia. II is miscellanies wcro col lected by lialph Waldo tmerpon, and published in this country in 1815. In 1831 Curlyle took with him to London Ins book "Surtor liesartus," and vainly endeavored to soil it. lie at length got it published in Fra:er't Magazine, but it was not until years uflerword that it wasful y appreciated Carlylc's work, "Tho French ftevolu lion," was published in 1837, and bo camo noted for its novel method of presenting history. His essay on "Characteristics" was issued in 1831. Ho published a work on "Chartism" in 183!), on "Hero Worship" in lKIO.and "I'ast nnd Present" in 1843. Mr. Carlylc's complete works com prise nearly forty volumes. Ho wroto voluminously for tho Edinburgh Review and tho Foreign Quarterly. II is "Count CughoBtro" and "Diamond Necklace" were notable, no published "Letters wid Speeches ol Oliver Cromwell" in 1845. st'rk'H of "Lattur lflj 1 n. , phlels" in 1K.VI, a "Life of John Hter ling" in 1851, and a "History ol Fred erick tho Great," tho last volume of which was published in I8G4. II is in augural address in 1800, when be wsb elected in his 65th vear to tho I'rosi dency to his beloved Kdinbiin'li Univer sity, was reprinted almost all over tho world. Carlylo was married in 182C to Jane Welch, ol Craigcnptittoch, where she owned a small estate, on which ho lived lor a time. Thcro for six years, among granite hills and black niorass i'B, filtoeii miles from a town, ho read and wrote in peace. His wile claimttl to bea lineal descendant!,!

What Carlylo would have been hud his life been Contemporary with that storm ana stress period ot which ho made himself tho eulogist, wo cau guess by recalling what ltichter was. Thoro was, indued, a surprising like ness in tho gifts, acquirements, ethical convictions, and artistic methods of tho two men, and an equally curious coincidence was disclosed in their fort unes and careers, lioth were tho sons of poor men, and both won for them solves, at the eost of not a liltlo harsh toil and privation, a University educa tion, lioth wcro omnivorous rather than sympathetic renders, and of both it might be said that, to tho lust, they nau never iusmoncd lor tnemsolves a d('flititc,coheront system of philosophy. Moth were constrained, lor a Ion 12 time. to clto out a subsistence by the trade of schoolmaster, and both gained but a tartly recognition trom publishers or readers, owinu to their intensely cm plinsned and grotcsquo originulily lioth wroto prose, but both Were noots n mo loitiest and deepest meaning ol tho word. So lar as ouch boro a mes sage to his lino ho spoko as a bard rather than a philosopher, as a prophet ana not as a luwuiver. J'.ach ex bib ted a contempt of conventional forms and accepted ranting ot art which had never been pnralelled In literaturosave by licbelliaa, and each combined with a boundless humor not unworthy of me creator 01 "iiarguntua an cxquisi live sensitiveness to sorrow, and a heart piercing pnlhos of which their jovial J- ronch lororunnor had exhibited no sign. 1 hat ( arlylo was a student and disciplo of Jean Paul, that be strove to supplement and develop a pirunai ainiuty by conscious assimila tion, is sulllcicnily obvious to the most casual reader. That there was, however, no question hero o! aorvilo mitalion, but lhat the younger man's istion to Iticbler suggests rather the ntcrcnmmnnications ot equal souls, is plain from the free play which Carlylo gave to his own temperament, and from his fundamentally distinct atti tude and point of riew. The German was by natnre a genial and gleesnme as the Scotchman was grim and ialnr- FIELD CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1881. nine ; tboro was Bomolliing Rportful in tlio biennis ot tho former's irony com parctj with tlio excoriuting strokes of tlio Barosttm. Thoro was somothing joyous, saiifrnino, hopeful, in liu litcr'a glunce, as well boctmo ono who had witnosHod tho upheaval of his nation undor Htcin and llurdot.buri;, and watched tho unfolding of that Iliad whoso climax eamo at Loinsic. Rich- tor's last years, like. Csrlylo's, wore cuattoroa ana tioutloa by physical do say, and tho author of "Tital" can scarcely bo said to have behold the pitiful oxtinction of the dream which bad promised a fioo Germany. It would havo been impossible fori L any le, bad ho boon nuttiraHy less sombro and splenetic, to havo turned a choerful and complacent oyo on the England for which ho began to write. When, about 18,11, "Manor liesartus" was conttibtitod to Frazn't Magazine, thoenmbativo period which culminutcd at Waterloo bad long been over, and tho industrial period was in tho full tide of covotous, accumulative energy. 1 he reaction against the strain and outpour, tho tremendous sacrifices and dear bought glories ot tho Nttpoleonto era, had then in fact reached its height. It was OHsentiullv a reruneruFivo in. tcrval, during which exhausted En gland took account ot stock, but, by comparison, it looked to tho irutul vision ol tbo scotch enthusiast not only a prosaic, but a shabby, sordid, impo tent and despicable ago. With the aims, sentiments, standards, and arbi tors of such a time Carlylo had not trace of sympathy. He lilted up his voice In outcry and reared bis arm against them all ; ho made it tho busi ness ot his lilo to thwack thofulminato against the philosophy of Bentham and wont no aecmea its ignominious out come in society and legislation. On the other hand be strove to probo tho boart and tiro the blood by an clo quonce that often lacked but the form to rival the master works of epio lofti ness and lyric power, and eloquence that seemed to rango through tbe wholo gamut of emotion, now quiver ing with tragic grief, now soaring lo dim heights of solemn aspiration, and now rioting in grim yot contagious raillery. Jtor should we forget tbnt the ideals which may now seem errali and one-sided, but which Carlylo novcr wearied ol upholding and onlorcing by all the means in bis largo grasp by history, biography, critical essay, and political pamphlet wero admirably atlaplod to control and discredit the tendencies ol his day. It was as we bavo said, an ago whon men looked rather to utility than to ideal porfeo t.on, when they thought moro of craft than lorco, when they cared less lor powor tban money, wben tho pool did not Scan loo narrowly the instru ments of wealth, and when tho rich wero apt to account thoir work finish cd, and to watch the tragio comedy of 1 1 to with listless unconcern .Neither was the epoch of tho Chartists and the corn law agitation the. only modorn period marked by commonplaco and ignouio Icatures. in tho world abou us wo may rocognizo not a low of tbe same traits ; and while this remains true, tho teachings of Thomas Carlylo. which smote the ears ot his own aire like a clarion, will lose littlo of ihui portinonco and powor. ANOTHER NonLl TllinLTE. Philadelphia Tim... 1 Ho toiled ior a ions time as Milton tolled, aa liucon toiled, as Locke toiled. guided only by his own overmastering instinct 01 me cod given mission tec u 11 dating bis thought, upholding his faint ing courage. He was during tho first nity years ot his life tbo epitomo and consummalo realization ot his own definition ot eonius. Tho power to work, to givo attention to details, to bo as accurate in tho color ol a man comploiion, in art, as in tracing the nereauy mat Shaped his traits, ills pictures of men como before the reader as cleaily cut, as minutely lashioned in outline, as a portrait of Titian or alaanuer,. His Marttbeau, Cromwell, Frederick, Lalayctte, Luther, Hums and Hobespierre will coexist with tbo language 111 which they are written lruth ana that instilled, lias his m slon, but truth lo him was a beacon of constantly changing lights. None but tho Blrong food fully in its white glare. but onco under Its ellulgont luminous ness no detects sppoared to tho blind od eyes of tho worshiper. In other words, force, the strong man, moving on a ueroic piano, wita trampled ono pies and overturned systems as the mighty liamowork ol their action. He began, tbe apostle of progress in tno widest senso, the ally ol reform the evangel of humanity. He ended tho advocate endowed beyond any other thinker of his limo, the Abdiel of reaction, tbo panegyrist of blood and Iron, the bondsman of force. Ho becan his leacbinirs with ner haps tho clearest insight into tho his tory ol tho past ot any man who haB written since St. Paul. Ho was near the woes of the race as he sot out, but any oy aay battling bosts arose and they seemed not only to dim his vision but chill the ardor of his soul for tho things that had at first fired his pen The conquest of monies bv trreat bo. came his ideal of force in action. The revolt of peoples against warriors and systoms of tyrany bocamo to bim'the utinile babblement" ol lools. The tremendous outburst ot the French Revolution at first fascinated him, but the very intensity of what liucon calls tho "dry light" of history, which his own band bad lit, brought out only the most baleful actors tor tho contem plation and admiration ol mankind. It would be difficult to act bounds to the majesty ot bis intellectual march in dealinc with the occult in historr It would bo not less difficult to point nut the ruul tendonry, contrasting his earner wnn bis later aims, 11 is ilu- work, like that of a groat tumultuous river, cannot be told while the anirry swirling billows of iti force are still ing on, deafening as well as dag gling ihe beholder. The noblest max mi ot lite, the most austere rode ol morals, Iho most inspiring incentives lo action, may be found in every chap ter he has written. These are brought into tbe most Incongruous opposition, to tbe most motirnlul prostration be fore tho voiled gods of absolutism, mysticism and king craft. The wbolo lilo thought of bis Inter years was de voted to the teaching that the people, like the children of Israel, had sinned from their very nature and that it was the will of God that a king that is, a force should be set In perpetuity over them. He went much further than the prophet who gave Israel a king as punishment; he set the king op as the be all and end all ss the sign and to ken of a woll ordered system. Yet even in those teachings he was as grandly inconsistent a ho was grand ly bold in taming bark the mighty current of his own first overwhelming maelstrom ot thought. Indeed, a maelstrom Ii the one object in nature bat the man Tost life-work may be likened to. It bat no boginning and r t PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN. no end; tho truths that are held on tbo topmost crest of its swik-rusbing current at ono moment sink snbmcrg cd tho next under lh creslcd break ers of paradox, contradiction and do. nial, only to ro cmorgo again on o broader circle and in calmor sweeps, clnrih'cd by temporary Bubmersion, Tho ovil that tho ordinary man may do lives after him and tho good is apt ,u i,u uiivrri'u wuu u,n uuiiub. 11 will not bo so with Ctulylo; his evil will Borvn to throw into more imposing outlines the good, which shall live as long alter him as liurnttn, speech is the medium of thought--as long as tho teachings ol 1 Into or Aristotle and with a hundred fold tbeir force. CARLYLE'S INDUSTRY. TFI K ACCIDENT TO T($5 FRENCH REVO LCTION. ' In 1837 Carlylo published "Tho French devolution ; a History." Its publication was deluycd by tho acci dental burning of tbo first volume just as it was ready lor tbe printers. Cor lyle had lent tho manuscript of tlio first volume to John Stuart Mill, who carried it to Mrs. Taylor, tlio lady, whom ho afterwards married. Jiy somo strango accident it was left ox posed, and a stupid servant lighted the tires wuu it. ben the author heard of Ibis misfortune, ho was like a man beside himself, as there was scarcely a page of tho manuscript left. Sittinir down at tho table, bo strovo 10 soiled his thoughts, and began to rewrite, but only to run his pou through each puge us it was finished. Doggedly porsevering, bowovor, Carlylo, finish ed tho volnino at last, after five months' labor. Curlyle had, however, no roproachos for tho friend who had caused him tho trouble. Hut he describes the work of rewriting that volume as ono prolong ed agony. Ho undertook the task at once, but failed through severe mental depression. Uu then devoted sevci-al weeks to novel reading as a relaxation and so finally succeeded in reproduc ing the book. A friend ot Curlyle, in an article upon tho burning ot the vol ume, says : "After tivo months of persovereneo he ruwroto it, having calmed himself sufficiently by reading all tho novels 01 Litptain Jlurryatt. this second production he pronounced afterwards as belter than the first.

These rollers aro about thirty inches in diameter. It takes llvo sets of steel rollers to finish tho our. Each sot of rollers run closer than tho preceding. After tho wheat passes each set of rollers it is bolted or silted through coarso cloth. This cloth ets tho disintegrated particles ol wheut through, and pusses oft tho bulky and largo pieces, which aro run through another and a closer set of rollers, and cracked again. Tho last rollers have Htlo elsu but wheat bulls and tho waxy germs of tho wheat, which do no crack up nui math down liko a piece of wax. Ihe germ of a kernel ol wheat is not good food.

REPUBLICAN. TUB ATTORNEY GENERAL. HIS ANNUAL REPORT PRESENTED TO THE LEO1SLAT0RI EXTRACTS FROM AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT THE REVISION Ob1 THE TAX LAWS DISCUSSED ANDAREMEDT PROPOSED. Tbo annual report of Attorney Gen eral Palmer has been presented to the Legislature in pamphlet tor in. The report embraces seven pages ot printed matter. The following interesting ex tracts are mado from it. Tbe report opens : Gentlemen In compliance with tho act ot April 21, 1857, relating to the otneo ana amies 01 Attorney Gen eral, 1 havo tho honor to submit the lollowing report of the official business transacted by mo during the two years cnaing uocciuDer dl, 18811. the number ol claims placed in my bands for collection during tho years 1879 and 1880, was two hundred and twenty six, thirteen ot which wero sub sequently withdrawn by tho Auditor General. Tbo claims amounted to 2G1,631.74, and. of that sum I havo collected and paid into the State Treas ury 8133,78'J.Ol, leaving a balance still duo upon the same of 127,851.73, to onlorco the payment of which the nee essary legal proceedings have been in stunted. In addition to tho amount collected upon claims certified to me in 1879 and ISwfypaymonts wore mado upon claims ol former years, tho total collections amounting to HVOJuo.bt. A brief account of tho actions brought by tho Stale against the bogus Medical Colleges ol Philadelphia is then given. 1 n concluding Ibis su bjoct the Attorney General Bays : Proceedings have also boen com menced against persons claiming to oxorciso tho franchises of a corpora tion Known as "1 ho Philadelphia Uni versity of Mcdicino and Surgory." Their names aro William .1. P. Ingra bam, William Harmon, E. ilelzgar, William Major, John Kayo, William H.Orvis,T. Emerson Dennett, William Ilargraves and Thomas B. Miller. They also claim to own tho charters of several other Colleges cbartored by the Suite, which, 1 beliovo, either con- uiiu inn power 01 revocation, or wero granted after tho Constitutional i Amendment of 157, and may, there fore, fbo revoked by tho Legislature, if found injurious to the public, and to which your attontion is expressly invited. By methods ol deluy, known to tho law, this case has boen unavoidably prolonged, and no tinul judgment has been reached. 1 have no reason to donht that the ulti mate conclusion will J10 in harmony with tho interest! ol tho Stato, and if so, tbe fruitful, long continued, but dis graceful business of selling academic degrees and turning looso hordes ot ignorant villains with licenses to proo tico medicine, apparently rogufarly granted by incorporated institutions of1 learning ot this Uommonweallb, will have been destroyed, to the great gam of our good namo, both at homo and abroad, Tho report states further that as there bad been no provision made by tho Legislature lor the expenses of theso prosecutions, Mr. W. M.Singorly, of, Philadelphia, voluntarily advanced the necessary funds. An appropria tion is recommended for Air. Singerly'e reimbursement. The sorvices in the cases of 8. H. G Wendell, esq., of tbe Philadelphia bar, and Mr. John Norrls, cityetiitorot tho Philadelphia Record, are also acknowledged. In speaking of tho tax laws tho At torney General says: Just and truthful complaint is made against the laws imposing taxos on tbe pooplo of tho Commonwealth. A casual porusal of thetax laws will sufficiently indicato tho truth of tho first com plaint. Let tho skeptic grnpplo with tlio reventio bill of 1879, which bailies lawyers, Courts and officials, and, it unconvinced, then endeavor to asccr. lain exactly what property Is separate ly taxable for Stole, County and School purposes. That taxes aro grossly unequal has been a standing complaint for a gen oration. As, for instanco, tho land ol ihe State owned by individuals is ex empt from taxation for Slate purposes, together with tho product or profit tuereoi, whether coal, oil, iron, timber, or luriu produce. II owned by an as sorinlion of individuals, combining their capital lo promote an enterprise too great lor a Binglo banded ondcavor, tne money that buys tbo land, viz the capital, must, first, pny a bonus lux lor a charter. Secondly, a tax on capital stock, measured by tho amount of dividend paid, if equal to six per cent,, ana, 11 less, tnen by tho actual value of Iho stock at a given timo in the year. Third, if coal land, until lately, to a lax of three cents per ton on coal mined, though ovory ton rep rosents a portion of tho capital stock already twice taxed. Fourth, tho land itself, with all tho buildings, machinery, improvements, bought and paid for by the thrice taxed capital, is again liable to tho onerous and excessive demands of local authorities for County, School iioaii, ana special lax. The unjoining tract, equally valuable, equally pro ductive, owned by an individual, es capes with the payment of tho local lux only, or' one of the four paid by an association of citizens engaged in tho laudable and necessary enterprise of uuvoioping the resources ol tho Stato. the owner ol personal property, In a majority of cases, escapes assessment entirely, or, 11 his personal property be assessed, it is at ono fourth its actual valuo. Tho owner of money at Inter est, if he makes an honest return, or if returned by the Assessor, pays on tho entire valuo thereof. Thoownerof a mortgagod farm pays taxes thereon equally with his unin cumbered noighbor, and, in addition, the tax on mortgages, or if not so stipu lated in tho bond, then the mortgagee pays for him ond adds to the rate per cent. These instances will suffice to Indi cato, in some degree, tho inequality and injustice of these laws. As to their administration, the As sessors are required to make oath to return the real and personal property! at its actnnl value in cash. They do- libcratoly and oponly return tbo pro porty at one-third or one fourth its cash valuo. Mortgages and money at interest aro neither returnod by tbe owner or Assessor or by a sort of tacit general understanding, and all, except a small fraction, escape taxation alto gather. Such evasions of the law are tho rule and not the exception. As sessors who al tempted to perform their plain sworn duty would be visited with stormy indignation. Because the laws are felt to bo grossly inequitable, un equal and unjust, the people agree to gether to disregard and disobey thorn. G roat diversity of practice exists in the different counties as to the enforce ment of the tax laws, and wide differ New once of opinion as to thoir proper in terpretation. Persistent fllfort on tbe part of tbe Auditor General to secure uniformity has not been rewarded with success. With such a heterogenous mass ot ill assorted, mis-matcbod patches, tbero ia cause for wondor that county officials aro onabled to perform their duty at all. In many States manufacturing and mining enterprises arc fostered und en couraged by liberal exemptions Irom taxation for long terms of years. In others no tax isdomanded unless profits are made out of the business. In Pennsylvania, though such undertak ings are the very life-blood of her pros perity, tho forbidding band of local and State taxation unites all corporate enterprise with lour told vigor, and drives capital away from our door, and beyond our borders to enrich the stranger and beautify the stranger's luna. Micb legislation is absurdly un wise and supremely unjust. The remedy is plum. It may bo lounu in two words uniformity, equal ity. Clear away tho whole cumber some, unwieldy, expensivo, and in efficient system of Collectors and Mer cantile oppraieers, tho latter costing tbe Stato, in various forms, upwards of gn o,ouu annually. Make every citi zen his own Assessor and Appraiser. Let him, under oath and penalty, an nually return, through tbe Township Aasossor, to tbe County Treasurer, an ostimato and valuation of his real estate, deducting incumbrances, and of bis personal oslato, including every as set of whatsoever nuture, stocks, bonds, monoys at interest, debt duo bun. de ducting only just debts owing, not Hens on land, and also return tbe busi ness in which engaged, with an esti mate of its extonu Make it misde meanor to refuse or neglect to mako such roturn or to mako a talso return. Itenuiranoinquisitorial ordisagroeablo detail ; but a gonoral cstimatoof value. Men do not, us a rulo, under estimate thcirown possessions. Very low would chance the pains and penalities ol per jury to save a lew dollars of taxes. 1ot the authorities levy taxes annually, at a staled time, inform the Treasurer of their needs. Let him prepare his duplicate, attend in every district on a stated day and place to receive all the tax, abating for prompt pay ment, adding for delay. Give him the power of a Collector, and charge hi 111 with the whole. Givo tho County Court power to exonerate uncollocta blo tax. Let the Stato Treasurer bo furnished with tbe aggregate of each county's valuation, and assess tbe nec essary Slate tax accordingly directly upon each county, according ty its valuation. Give tbe counties ll taxes. licenses, rates and assessments of w hat soever nature, and apportion the State tax as well upon tne numborot licenses, mescantlle and other occupations, as upon the value ot tho property in each county, iiiva tho SUito Hoard ot l(o vision power to levy a largor rate on countiun in which thoy aro satisfied a just return is not mado, to the extent ol equalizing taxation. Tbe principle to be enfurcod is equal ity and unilormity. There can be no logical or just reason for taxing asso ciated capital engaged in mining or manufacturing, at a higher rata than individual capital, while many reasons may Do urged against it. the onlyaddi tional burden to be laid upon such capital should be an anmal tax for tbo privilege ui uAuuipuuu irom iuuiviuuui liability. All other taxos should be imposed on the proporty itself, whether real or personal, owned by the corpor ation, ana at the same rate as though owned by individuals. It is boliered that somo scheme calculated to bring to light all tho property in the State liable lo taxation, and to adjust the burden equally npon it, would not only disclose an immense quantity of proporty that now escapos altogether, but would reconcile tho peoplo to prompt and cheerful payment when each becomes satisfied that bo could bo called upon for no mora than his just share. that a vory considerable proportion of taxable personal properly escapes Male taxation under tbe present system, a glnnco at the last rcwrt 01 tno Auauor General win demon strate. Under existing laws a man in mod erate circumslaucos whose properly is all insight, consisting ot his bouse and lot, farm or occupation, pays a full rate on his assessment, white the moro fortunate neighbor who bas gamed bonds, stocks, mortgages and money at intorost, escapes with a tur loss pro portionate taxation, in trulb our taxes aro mainly paid by tbe corpora tions and tbe poor. Every consideration of justice and sound policy demands thorough reviow and reform in the tax laws of the Siato. The method I suggest may not bo tho best. It is at least not open to tho oboction ot novelty since it is in stioeesslul operation in sevoral places elsewhere. Tbo result and not tbe method is, however, the main oonsid oration. Our Commonwealth is, 1 bo liovo, great and prosperous and honest enough to bo lust. llr.sRY W, Palmer, Attorney General, An Anecdote or Jennt Lind In looking over an old pilo of papers we find the following anecdoto about ono of the purest and best women who ever trod thestago.

A JUST CRITICISM. Tho Washington Pest publishes a vigorous editorial on "Certain Demo cratic Blunders," and handles tbe Dem ocratic Congressional independents and absentees without gloves. Bv inde pendents it rolors to Stephens, Spoor and Folton, of Georgia. Tbe V'ojf says: in almost all the party oonlcsts ol the House a low members ot the ma jority parly have played into the hands 1 of tho opposition. They have been proud of the commendation of their opponents, who have used them and despised them for being thus used, they have mouthed mouldy platitudes about their "obligations to their own senso of duty rather than the dictates oi a caucus." bon they have flan ped their rhetorical wings and "soared ahovo party," thoir silly souls have ocon aeiigutca with tbo incest ct Bo publican praise. This is tho record ot men who wore elected bv Democrats oloctod as Democrats men who had begged Democratic voles from county to county, and who have prated lomr ana iouu oi inoirzenl lor the success of Democratic principles. Al the first possible epporlunity they betrayed iiioir constituents, betrayed thoir unn ciples, betrayed their party, and gavo easy victory to the enemy an enemy tbat cajoles and flatters such creatures while cherishing a robust contempt for thera and their ways. Democratic absenteeism has boon another and a very f ruitful source of Democratic dis comfiture. The ullegod Democratic majority has been an actual minority for weeks in succession. Victory bos been given lo the ICopublicans by a few Democrats who have cared moro for porsonal convenience than for pub- no uuiy or mo miorests ot their party Scores of times a quorum has been broken and the passage of a Demo cratio measure detested by tho absence o! a tew men who, at that moment, could be lonnd In a bar-room 1 A party is in a sad predicament wnen its success or aeleat depends oo throe or four of halt a-dozen men w hose appotlte Tor stimulants will not give way to any higher sense. And to this oomplexion has it coma with the Dem ocratic party in tho Houso on more than one occasion of tho greatest im portance. Such men are until for any public position. They are a disgrace tn their constituents, a reproach to the House, an affliction lo tbo country. A man who will risk the success of bis party in a crisis, rather than wait for a drink, is just about as contomptible the holy leiiow wbo "rises above party" in order to he patted on the back ny ine iicpumican press, it the minority in the AL II. shall show itself compact, sagacious, and guard edly aggressive as has tho minority in the present congress, tbore will bo a change two years hence. It is not the strength of Republican principles hall so much as the weakness of Democratic management that has transferred the sceptre this time. Meantimsafow Dem ocratic districts will do well to drop in to obscurity the men whose egotism, weakness, neglect, and appetites have enabled a minority of Republicans prac tically to dominate a Democratic House and finally retire the Democracy to the minority side.

This yeanling of towns, so rare fully fostered on the hunks of the l'o tomuc, bus not availed itself to any great extentof that popular method of improvement so successfully adopted by Chicugo and Boston the method of burning; and its increase has boon more a reflection of tho extending mag nitude of other oentros than a sponta neous movement. .Mora and more tbe custom bas grown among tho rich or energetic and inquiring inhabitants of other places, of going to the Capital to , see what it is liko; many ot tbcin bare boensofascinatod that tbey have staid; and now Washington may fairly be called the Winter end of Now York, as Newport is tho Summer extension of tho metropolis.

It has this special charm to commend it above other places, that while Bob tou and Sun Francisco, Cincinnati and New York, despito thoir numerous points of other than cominorcial inter est, are work a day towns, the "mai den capital" shows a gay or disposition, and devotes itself largely to social pleasures. To tho outsider tho defter ence is that between friendship ami flirtation.

Such a conjunction is only to be explained by tbe tendency of people nowadays to wash their dirty linen in oourt. Colored men and women are numerous, and laugh very loud on the st roots with refreshing freedom.
