He - proposes te repudiate It ; a business In which we are adepts, bavins; lately tested fully our ability In that line in disregarding the Chinese treaty; and heretofore having done a geed deal of the business in our relations with thft Tnrllan trine. Wn tank rmr 0r ftrst strong dip into it in repudiating JHtgewr treaty with France, formed In the warmth of our revolutionary embrace, when it became expedient for us te de se te preserve our relations with Eng land. The French spolitlen claims still stand before us as a reminder and legacy of this feat of Panic faith. Na tions de net seem te care a copper for treaties when it suits teem te break them and they are strong enough te gratify their Inclinations. They all de it, and we seem te be no mere moral than any of them. In bual- ktMiiaacuens between, men. he who keeps his contracts gains respectability and standing by the practice ; and the . laws are made te keep us up te the rack in this regard. The nations who make the laws for their subjects are quite above them themselves, however ; and Mr. Prellnghuysen is In no danger of being sent te Coventry by public opinion for deliberately violating the Clayton Clayten Bulwer treaty In his Nicaragua negotia tion. If that Is a geed scheme it is safe te say that no ancient treaty will stand in Its way. Undoubtedly It is a sedactlve propo prepo sition. It may be a very geed movement. It will coat much money, but in a country with a big surplus that is no great con sideration. It Is a very fine whistle ana may de worm au it coats, it is a matter te be carefully considered. The preposition atrikes the progressive spirit et tbe people favorably at first sight. It recommends itself as a go-ahead move ment. The state department, in bring Jeg out free txde-laU sere! and agreeable garb of an exclusive commerce with ether nations, has made possible by a reciprocity treaty what could net have i none by a tarilf em. Ana in offer ing us an inter-oceanic canal all our own has tickled our fancy se extremely well that we very much question whether the doubts of hesitating statesmen will have any chance te find a foothold. ' The Agricultural Jfsreaa. One of the great missions of the news paper la te expose fraud, and the Wash ingten correspondent of the Philadelphia Times has done a geed work In letting the public into some of the secrets of the agricultural bureau of tbe government. It has been frequently remarked of late that this bureau nnder lis chief, Lerlng, has been abnormally ambitious. It has been his dream te make the head of the agricultural bureau a cabinet efflse. And bow well he has succeeded Is shown by Monday's proceedings In the Heuse, in which a bill te elevate the bureau te a department et the government was passed by the decisive vote of 1M te 60. It Is te be hoped that the Senate will net lend Itself te this scheme, which has about it a very strong flavor of Jobbery. , The impudence of the attempt is manifest when the expenditures and re sults of this establishment are considered. One of its offshoots is the "veterinary experimental station" near Washington. It has a chief at a salary of $2,600, a chief clerk drawing $2,000, two assistants at $1,300, and a host of inspectors banting the country ever ter sick cattle, charging therefore $10 a day and ex penses. It spends big sums in getting up its reports which are Oiled with illus trations of cattle in all stages of disease, the object of which apparently Is te flause a stampede among congressmen that they may increase the bureau's appropriation. The appropriation for the bureau et animal industry was until Iiering took held only $25,000 per annum. The estimate this sear has h- jumped te $150,000. The experimental f station has one healthy pig as 'the result li-"" exp8ndltures. Moreover erais- & " aariesef the department have succeeded t; q la lobbying through Congress an appro appre 'S$T relation et 1250,000 for stamping out .f the eattle disease. At least one-half of this amount will line the pockets of Jobbers. This department seems a geed eae in which te begin the geed work of turning trie rascals out A Presidential UeallRgeacy. , Oar Mlllersvllle correspondent asks a ' qaestlen which has often occurred and te wbieb there seems te be but one pos sible answer, though, as W " suggests, away well-informed persons are in denht a ignorance M te what that answer 'MiMeaatly it. The constltatlea of the d. UalUd tftatea does set expressly provide trlsrttoeeeetlageBeyof tbe death of the ' 1;aeakt-tJetbetwentbetIae of his ;SSWBVa7 MM BMOlenU OOUSfM U IM ' ;raaieseatbe first Wedaesdayin Deeea " ly. aad tae.declarattea of that resort by wpJsbW wK Haw sswwam WMsawwMHspf JJst February, or Ue Mate for the president te be inaugurated, the fourth of March. But the oestltutlen very plainly directs that la ease of tbe inability of the presi dent te discharge the duties et his office from any cause Its powers and duties ball devolve upon the vice president. Tbe electoral colleges having met and voted, It only remains for Congress te tabulate their votes and if they find a majority for any candidate, te se declare- It sueh an one should happen te be dead, that circumstance would create a vacancy en the fourth of March net before and en that date the "powers and duties' of the office would devolve en the vice president, as directed by the constitu tion. It seems te be plain enough by all parity of reasoning, that In the event et the president-elect dying new, the vice president-elect would succeed him as constitutionally as It the vacancy occurred after they had been Inaugu rated. Were the candidate of a party te die after he had been chosen by the people, but before the electors met, It would be for them te make free choice of candidates, thengh In most cases it is te be expected that they would agree en tbe vice presidential nominee of their party ter the higher office. Such an event might lead te great confusion, and la only one of a dozen centingenclea liable te occur under our rickety electe. ral college that would demonstrate vividly its pressing need of repairs.

Tha Qaakra rears 77th iilrtnflaf-tntertt-leg rareeaat Mamlnlteane.e III Vlan en the mavtry Agliailen. rrem tbe Baltimore Sun. Nearly seven years have elapsed since Jehn G. Wbittier completed the allotted three soere and ten years, and yet no Is as hale, hearty and vigorous as one wbose years are soaree in excess of half-, hun dred. Next Wednesday he will be 77 years of age, and en that day many of his mends ana admirers will extend their con gratulations te the Quaker poet at his winter residence in Dauvers, te which the pleasing title of "Oik Eoeli" has been given. By previous appelntmant a call waa made upon the "bard of 7?" a few daya since, and ha waa found te be in tbe most eheerfnt spirits, rvnd proved the soul of hospitality. A newspaper lutorview Is something be alwaya hesitates te be a party te, but the idea whieh was te ba the foundation of this one was se interesting te htm that he seen began te talk in an easy, pleasant way about bla eflerts ns a builder of rhymes and the sentiment underlying some of tbe obeloo gems of his great genius. In his boyhood days hla lore waa limited te what he cenld find In tbe six volumes wbleh constituted tbe slmple household library, and his only school ing was acquired during ten weeks of midwinter in each, year. One or these volumes waa a "History of King David," in poetry, by Themas Ellwced, and the orudeness of the work strnek him as most remarkable, and set him thinking hew it might be improved upon. Liter ou, his old soheolmaster, Jeshua Coffin, lent blm a copy of Burns' works, and in the author he reoegnlaed a master mind. The wri tings of Scotland's great poet were a new revelation te him, and he profited largely by them. As he grew elder be spent two years at an academy, and then, when seventeen years of age, be wrote "The Deity," bis first poem. lie bad net the slightest idea of offering It for publication, and did net kniw that it had been ac:opt ed by William Lloyd Garrison, then of the Newbury Fret Petit, until his sister had taken the manuscript from bis room and commissioned the piper earrler of the scotlen in whieh thsy lived te etTdr it for publication, bat en no account te disoles.3 the identity of the author. "I was work ing in the field when the Free Prist reached me." said Mr. Whittler. " and when I read my lines In print the memcut was ene or the nappieat of my lire." ECCE5TIUO MISS LIVERMOnE. After speaking of his early experience as a journalist Mr, Wbittier led op te his poetle works and the motive ucderlylng bts "Snow Bound." Upen reflection he negan tne explanation in a tene of sadness : " Snow Bound, " he said, "was written after two beings had pissed away whom I loved devotedly my mother and my sister. It is in ene sonse a memo rial of them ; and as I could net disasso ciate them from my home life, tbe poem beeame a narrative et my early days in Haverhilt. The physician alluded te in ' 8new Bound' was my old friend, Dr. Theodere Weld, of whom I also speak in a prelude te a little pcem. The Countess' and the young woman was Miss Harriet Livermero, daughter of Judge Lirermore. I beeame acquainted with ber whlle she was stepping at Dr. Weld's bouse. Bhe was a highly gifted and eccentric woman, very wtuiui ana strong minded, and a religious enthusiast. I remembar well the prlde she took in correct ing my pronunciation. One day she determined te visit the Greek and Cathe He churches iu Eurepe, and thither she wentk spending some thirty years travel ing in the East and passing seme time with Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope, who lived In an old convent en the slopes of ait. JjBDanen, near lieyreut. in bis ole. eant written book, - Eethen,' Alex. Kinglake devotes a adapter te Lady Stan hope. Bhe exiled herself frpm England after the death of her nnole, the cele brated William Pitt, and b3--c-. of a tribe of Arab--'""' M B?idJte1 ?e T.i tu mystiea! lore, and pretended te possess the power of divination or skill in prophecy, In the oeurse of his travels Lamartine visited uer, and it is said that she told him be would be the head of a nation ; indeed, dnring the revolution he was a sort of diotater of Franee, Harriet Llvermere enght te have been happy with Lady Stanhope, but they qnarreled, and Miss Llvermere returned te this seuntry. Soen after her arrival I met her, and she spoke at length of her journey ings, mere; especially et her visit te Lady Stanhope. Among ether things she said that her whilem friend kept two milk white horses in her stable en which te ride with the Lord when the summons fame te the New Jerusalem. I am in clined te think." satd Mr. Whittler, laughing at the reoelleotion of the oanver satien, " that Miss Llvermere thought one of the horses shenld have been reserved for her rather than for Lady Stanhope, and that the white horses eventually estranged the two ladies. Oh, I remember her domineering ways ! She afterward visited the East, and a friend of mine traveling in Syria leund ber dwell ing in a tent, the ruler of a small dirty tribe of Arabs. In her declining years she beeame disgusted with her mode of living, and returning again te this country, died in Philadelphia." THE POET'S FAMOUS VHIEND. Running ever tha pages of a velnme of bis poems as ba sat in front of the glowing Kraie in ma "worxanep," Mr. Wbittier, after a short silence, resumed : " 'Tbe Tent en tbe Beach' deseribes itself. At the time it was written Salisbury Beach was almost destitute of beuses ; se I pitched my tent en the shining sands. My old friend Bayard Tayler and James T. Fields were wi.h me, and te them f am supposed te read the poem. I spent manv summers among the mountain ranges of ussipee ana oanawien ana along tbe banks of Bearcamp and Cbocerna. Amid the beautiful scenery of that picturesque country, with all I had seen of nature's ehartns freshly photographed upon my mind, I wrote Among the Hills,' which I dedieated te Mrs. Annle Fields. I never had any method about my work, but alwaya wrote when I oeuld. Many of mv poems were composed in the presence of my mother and sister. Their talk seldom dlsconeerted me, I snppose I can attribute whatever faenity of expres sion I possess te my journalistic expe rience In my early days. But I write lit tle new. I have for years been troubled with headaebes. and lately I fennd that I am uuanie te labor for mere than IS or 20 minutes at a time. It would be useless," be said, smiling sadly, "te attempt te write without a head. One cannot get along without brains, and yet there are many things that I wrote in tbe freshness of my eareer, especially in prese, whieh I shall never republish. They refer mere particularly te the anti-slavery agitation. trot a long time my position was different from that Garrison bad taken. I recog receg nised that the constitution legalized slave, holding, and therefore my efforts were di rected against its extension te tbe terri tories, and in behalf of gradual and peaceful emancipation In tbe Seuth. But wnen tue war broke out I was with Lincoln and Garrison heart and soul, I am proud of the part I pliyed In that controversy ; from our battle flags, se I desire te burv in the waters of oblivion all the bitter thlega I said in that strife.

The Republic iron works en the Seuth Slde have resumed operations at a ten per cent redaction iu tbe wages of all em em peoyes, excepting the Amalgamated scale men. The manufacturers say the iron workers who are members of the Amalgamated association must submit tp a reduction next year, or tbore will be a shutdown. The fcale is net signed until June, yet the question of wages is being freely discussed. President Wethe, of the Amalgamated association, left for the East several weeks age, and nothing has been given out by the members of the association as regards the objects of his trip, exeept that it was en business for the association. It was learned that Mr. Welbe was working up tbe order In the East, and is making a desperate effort te get all the iron workers into the association befere the scale is presented next year. The Eastern distriet is said te be the weakest point in the organization. A large number of tha New England mills are run with non-union men. A prominent manufacturer said that be did net see bow tbe iron men of that d la titat could ask for the present prices next year. The priee of puddling was from $3 25 te $3 88 in the East aud Western manufacturers have been compelled te de business at a disadvantage from this rea son.
