Tltoors AT THE POIJX IN IHHO.
Prom til* N. Y. Hun.
Tho lieptiblicans desperately
in the House of Representatives to de
feat the mild provision attached to the
Army bill, which declares:
• That no money appropriated in thi*
Act is appropriated or nhall be paid for
the subsistence, equipment, transporta
tion, or compensation of any portion of
the Army oi the United States to he
used as u police force to keep the peace
at the polls at any election held within
any Btale."
This was the compromise between
Congress anil the Executive at the ex
tra session, over which the Republicans
rejoiced as over a victory achieved.
They then taunted the Democrats with
having surrendered the principle on
which the prolonged contest had been
made, and with accepting terms against
which they had proclaimed war to the
hitter end.
All the Republicans but twelve voted
for this amendment as their own cher
ished bantling. When the same propo
sition was helore the House on Tuesday
they voted directly against their previ
ous record, after having factiously op
posed it lor days. Koine of them had
decency enough to ahstuin from such an
exhibition of partisan violence and un
blushing inconsistency, hut leaders like
Huwley, Raker, Cannon, Congor, His
cock, Monroe, and others of h-ss degree,
willingly stultified themselves, alter
threatening a veto.
The false pretence of this opposition
was that the section was a "tider," and
therefore ought to be resisted as irregu
lar legislation. Rut this sham was soon
shuttered by proof that the amendment
was in the interest of economy, as pro
vided by the rules, and germane to the
hill itself. Mr. Huwley was particularly
conspicuous and vehement in denounc
ing "riders"' on appropriation hills as
revolutionary and in monstrous viola
tion of the Constitution.
In closing the debate, Mr. Kwring ex
posed Mr. Huwley'a course as a member
of the Forty third Congress—one of the
worst Congresses in the history of the
government—when he voted for forty
lour riders on appropriation bills, every
one of which was political. In twelve
years the Republican party mounted
three hundred and eighty seven riders
on the hacks of appropriation acts
more thnn thirty-two every year, and
that, too, when they had majorities of
two thirds in (Congress, and could have
passed any independent legislation they
wanted.
The real underlying motive of this
opjiosition is that the Republicans de
sire and intend to use troops at the
elections this fall, and to repeat the
outrages of 1876. when they were em
ployed to intimidate voters in
South Carolina, and Florida, and to aid
in consummating a fraudulent count, if
necessary. Hayes i a sul-ervient in
strument of the machine leaders. He
is quite willing to obey any orders they
msv give.
When Mr. Kvarts was sent to New
York, last October, to speak in the
name of the Fraudulent Administra
tion and to kiss the rod that had scorn
fully smitten the whole concern he

Among the studies which should be
thoroughly taught in every public
school that of the English language
holds a high position. Every scholar
should be instructed ip the art of ex
pressing his or her ideas in a clear, con
cise, pure English, and no education
should lie considered at all satisfactory
which fails to give the learner this
power,
The end desired cannot be fully se
cured by merely teaching the rules of
grammar. These are good as far as they
go, and should never tie omitted. Rut
they need to be supplemented by a
careful study of good models, and by
the example of the teacher. If children
are supplied with books and napers
which are written in a pure and elegant
style, and which are also good in their
moral influence, they will insensibly be
their own thoughts. Then if the teach
er is always careful in the use of lan-
Cage, and aids the scholar in the te
uton and study of models, his pro
gress will he both certain and rapid.
Rut it ia not in the school alone that
the education of the child ia secured.
The home influence will he strong either
for good or evil. In some cases it rein
forces the leaaons taught at school, but
it too often neutralizes them and ren
ders them of little practical value. If
there ia no refinement at home, if po
care is taken to use pure words and
pronounpe them correctly, if the rulea
not only of graaamar but of common
propriety are constantly violated, the
child will certainly be influenced there
by, and this influence will be both evil
and permanent. In after life the marks
of coarse surroundings, unclean speech,
and improper pronunciation will be
upon him, and will prove a great hin
drance to hia progress, if not an impas
sable harrier to success. By these means
lie will lie shut out from many positions
of influence and profit which in other
respects lie is qualified to fill.
The ability to use pure Knglisli ia of
great value to ita possessor, whatever
toay be hit atation in life, and should
be sought by every one whoae mind ia
atill in the formative stage. I'arenta
ahould inaiat upon ita being taught in

In Love with a CongrcNMiiHn.
A Congressman, talking with a Chica
go Timet correspondent, give* the fol
lowing experience: "I made a speech
in the House which I myself considered
something in the way of a hit. At any
rate it received the attention and ap
proval of a large number of my associ
ates. That night 1 received oi> of the
longest and most ardent love letters
that wa* perhaps ever penned to any
man. The full name of the writer was
signed to it. The subscriber said that
she was in the gallery when 1 made my
speech, and that its influence had caused
her to fall madly in love with me. She
knew nothing whatever concerning ne,
whether I was married or not. She was
just swept away by the mad impetuosity
of love kindled by iny fiery eloquence.
1 think that was the expression she
used. And she placed herself at my
disposal, granting in advance anything
1 might demand, for 'the small favor of
loving me unchecked and unrebuked.'
"W ell, unless a man ia a fool, such a
note is devilish embarrassing. It is not
flattering at all to a man a vanity, for 1
knew perfectly well that she was an
absolute stranger to me, knew nothing
about me, one way or the other, and
that it was just a feminine craze, pecu
liar to, perhaps, a not very strong mind,
occasioned by a speech that seemed to
command attention. I paid no atten
tion to the matter for a day or two.
The notes then began to rain in on me
from her to such an extent that I made
up my mind to find out who she was,
at least, and acquaint her friends of
Ihe fact in a quiet way, if she had any,
as 1 had no iden of playing Paul to a
lackadaisical Virginia. I found that
1 she was a riling lady of a very good
i family, iler people live in the interior
of New York. They are rich, well-to-do
|>eop!e. The girl had been well brought
up and well educated.
"So now I KM put in a still more em
barrassing position, because I could not
go to these people and say that their
daughter was making violent love to
me, so 1 just adopted the policy of
totally ignoring the whole thing. Put
I have had more trouble than I ever
had in my life in just trying to get rid
of a woman. And 1 cannot say that I
am yet clear of the matter, for I still
continue to receive notes, and only this
session 1 have heard through her that
she h*i a rival in town, and will never
renounce her pursuit of me. She says
she loves me more than any one else
ran, and she knows the can make me
love her. She keep* up her amorous
bombardments, but up to the present
time the Cot.gteuMonal fort hold* firm.''

Postmaster General. "There il one."
said the excited individual. "I saw the
dead body of John Jones dragged out
of the river." Slowly the Postmaster
General enunciated the following words:
"You are too late. One hour ago the

Annual Dluiluntluu of Tlmlier laud*.
In connection with the reported pur
chase of 240,000 acres of timber land
in New* Hampshire by a company,
composed in part of Boston capitalists,
the Boston Hrrald gives nu interesting
account of the annual consumption of
sawed lumber and of hewn timber in
the United Static. This account de
rives its value from the fact that it
embodies not only official statistic* on
the subject, but shows, front various
sources, how steadily the depletion of
our forest* is going on, because of the
multifarious uses to which our lumber
and particularly white pine, is put.
Tin- argument of the Ff>rhl is that,
from the incessant and constantly in
creasing demand for sawed 1 urn Iter,
and for the timber required by rail
road*, mine* and telegraph line*, the
era of low price* must come to an end
lie fore long, and a speculative move
ment in heavily wooded forest land*
set in. At one time all the New Eng
land State* were heavily wooded. Now
the nearest large tract of forest is more
than two hundred mile* distant from
Boston. lYmisylvauia, which derive*
: her name from the fon*t* which in the
J colonial period covered the larger por
tion of the State, mauufactnred, in the
I year 1870, according to the statistic*
I of tho last census, 1,610,000,000 feet
| of lumber, and the axe of the lumber
man hn been actively at work ever
'since. At *neh a rale of slaughter a
| rapid decline in her tiralier resources
is inevitable. In Michigan, a great
Inmlier region, the Sagiuaw Hen i/</
of September, 1H79. called attention to
the steady depletion of the pine lands
of that Siate, and the demand that had
sprung up for them, in hlock.at price*
ranging from $7O to 8112.50 per acre.
In New Hampshire and Maine there
are still remaining some large tracts of
piue timber; but in the latter State
j they are being out into at the rate of
| 800,000,000 of feet of ►awed lumber a
year. In the other Eastern, and in all
the Middle States with the exception
of Pennsylvania, there is no longer any
pine lumber of good quality. "West
and Northwest, tip to the Rockv Moun
tain*, we have Texn, Now Mexfco,
Arixona,Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
Ihikota. Eastern Montana, Illinois,
lowa, the west half of Missouri, that
part of Minnesota west of the Missis
sippi, and the southern part of Wis
consin, all of which is chiefly prairie,
and almost trade** territory." The
western slopes of the ltorky Mountains
are being deuuded of their timber for
miuing ami railroad purpose*. The
Conistork lode mine* in Nevada use
from 40,000,000 to 50,000.000 feet
of timber annually. The mine* near
Virginia City are stripping that region
of available timber ; sawed and bowed
lumber selling at that point from $2O
to $25 per thousand feet, while the
40,000 cord* of tire-wood annually con
sumed there sell at an average'price
of $lO per cord. The nupply in Cali
fornia ha* fallen off" so much that she
is drawing heavily on the timber re
sources of Oregon and exploring parties
of lumbermen have even pushed north
ward as far as Alaska. There is no
doubt that wo are cutting into our
forests on every side au<L using their
timber for innumerable purposes. Next
to iron, it enter* into our manufactur
ing industries more largely than any
other native product. In Canada the
complaint is also made that "what
with the axe* of the lumbermen and
the settler and the demands of the
railroads, the forest wealth of that re
gion is rapidly disappearing." A
Canadian lumberman of prominence,
who halao a member of tho Provincial
Parliament, has given it as his opinion
that the supply of white pine lumber
iu Canada and in tb United States,
east of the tfocky Mountains, i* not
sufficient to meet tlio present rate of
consumption for twenty-five year*.
However thin mny IK*, the subject i*
one tliat invites and merits wrioim'con
sideration.
Another True Story.
A college romance i- told by the
! AI/aula Conttiiution. Many year* ago
' a young fellow went to Yale College.
The father wa* very rich and the
j youngster lived in grand style at the
| I'niverftity. Suddenly the old gentle
man failed and had to withdraw hi
! won from college. The hoy, however.
! felt the necessity of an education and
| determined to have one anyhow. He,
! therefore, went to work aud learned a
' trade as a machinist. While he was
at work his old associate* cut him and
refused to have anything to do with
! him. The young ladies with whom he
had been a great favorite failed to rec-
J ognize him when they met him. One
j day while going from his work he met
' a wealthy young lady who had lieen
I his friend. lie had his tin dinner
bucket over his arm, and supposed she
would cut him as all the rest had done.
She smiled pleasantly, addressed Lim
as "Tom," and insisted that he should
call uml see her as he had always done.
Bhe said : "There is no ehauge in you
as far as I am concerned."
The years rolled on. The young
boy became wealthy and owner of a
factory in which 1000 men and wo
men are employed. The young girl
grew to womanhood and married. Her
husband borrowed a large sum of mon
ey from the rich man, and died la-fore
he paid it, leaving his family with hut
| littie property. The capitalist sent
her, with his condolence, a receipted
note for her husband's indebtedness ;
and now the son of the millionaire is
going to marry the daughter of the
woman who wa faithful and true to
; the young work-boy at college.

Mr. Yanderbilt's purjKwc to invest in
four per cent, bond* the money which
he will receive in a few davs in a final
settlement for the New ork Central

The increasing popularity of this
class of bonds is shown by the tact
that a large number of them are being

I Pmm fhr OnkalooMt II
A touching incident occurred in the
deaths of the aged people, Mr. and
Mrs. Dickson, last week. For conven
ience~in atteudaneeduring their illncv*
i they were placed in separate bedroom-,
i The head* of the beds were placed
against n thin partition, which having
an open door permitted the two old
|>eople to converse, though not able to
! see each other. The night before the
j husband died his wife heard him
groaning, and was very anxious to he
with him, hut was unable to arise.
' Soon she was informed that he was dy
i ing, and in order to he near him the
lieds were moved so as to bring them
parallel with the partition, the bea<L
opposite the door. This done, the fond
: wife reached out her hand, grasped
her husband bv the hand, and field it
during his last moments. Thus death
1 found them, as iifty-ouc years before
the marriage ceremony left" them, join
'ed baud in hand. It wa- a simple ami
affectionate token of the love ola long
life, and the day following the wife,too,
folded her arms in the sleep of death.
POVERTY is had enough even to
those who have never know n anything
else. Hut nothing is harder than to
suddenly come down from comfort and
luxury tawant and suffering,and leave
the past as a rudely broken dream. Pov
erty is thus most terrible when it falls
like a bolt of fate upon those who have
been accustomed to luxury and sun
shine. In thousands of sad cases one
death has brought such a calamity up
on families previous happy, and who
have thought themselves secure against
t lie day of need.
THE kind of poverty hardest to bear,
and which brings with it the keenest
suffering, is that which is beat known
as "genteel poverty;" that which is
silently borne tor families who are sud
denly brought from a good positiou in
life to a state of want and hardship by
the untimely death of husband or fath
er.
