If nature abhors a vacuum, to adopt the axiom 'of the natural philosopher, so sadly does she also abhor anything like indolence. healthy child is, Of comae, often at rest, but never indolent. - It is &Mays at work in its own war; it will be ever ready to 'do something, to work at ono thing or another. The very mis chief of a young. child is—meloly - Noted industry. A. child is never , so happy as when it is busy. The . embryo soul puts out feelers into the stram,ro world in which it is placed, and trios, stop by stop, and moment after moment, to fit itself to work. It is Torevo - r imita tive -rits very voice, and the motion. of its tongue'are to be learned 4; and-gradit ally, and by much practice, are those mysteries to be acquired and understood. A child is seldom a heavy sleeper ; it will awake with the sun ; and the chief thing which it dislikes is to go to bed. Waking with the , sun in the morning, to be out and about, to commence the day with refreshed strength and a re-in vigorated appetite, is too Often chide into indolence, and taught to be lazy,' until from repeated lessons it gains it bad habit, and "custom lips upon it with a weight, heavy as frost, and deep almost as life." Yet if there be one thing which can conquer the ills of life, which Will make all things pleasant and all difficulties easy, it is industry, the great opponent and conqueror of that rind of mind of which we have been.speaking. "Thorn is no art or science which is too difficult for industry to attain to ; it is the very gift of tongues," said. Lord Clarendon, "and makes a man understood and valued in all countries." It is the phi .losopher's stone, and turns all_Metals and iffou stones into gold, and suffers no want Go break into his dwelling. A.s in dolence makes all things difficult, and gives a man pain even to walk to his door, and 101 l in his carriage, so industry makes all this easy. "lie who rises late," writes old Ful• ler, as wisely as quaintly, "must trot all day, and shall scarcely overtalce his busi ness at 'night." 'Laziness, on the other hand, travels so slowly that Poyerty soon overtakes her. This law is universal. It may seem very pleasant to indulge in. idle whim-whams, to fold the arms, to 101 l and do nothing ; but the mail who dons so, does it at his own cost and peril, and soon sorely rues it. His body can not be so healthy, his mind must stag nate, his , soul become corrupt. The rough Abernethy's advice to a lazy rich man, full of gout and idle humors, un happy and without appetite, troubled with over-indulgence, and pampered with soft beds and rich food, was to " live upon a sixpence a day and earn it ;" a golden sentence; a would save half thoi ill-temper and guar._ refs, the bickcrings and wranglings of the poor rich people, and would rub the rust:ion - army a fine mind, which ix now ugly and disfigured from want of use. mm-@wcmflwgmm VOL. 70. NO. 24 DEMOCRATIC TROUBLE. Yes, there is trouble—the air is full of it for the Democracy.. This is no need less alarm. It is not manufactured for the benefit of tho Radicals. There is a 'terrible evil now threatening tharsaintly, CoMititutiOn-saving piece • of machinery known as the Democratic party. It's leaders are becoming coerce ' nary, despotic, and corrupt. They pro- . pose to centralize the authority of the Government to an extent never dreamed of by Republicans. They are going to make the Government a huge railroad monopoly. They propose, mirabile to buy people, yes, even many peeiple-, in fact the whole National Democratic Convention that if . 4"%to meet in 1872 to neminate a President. In a word they have 'Planned a scheme of the most con summate and comprehensive deviltry that was ever devised in polities or out of it. And by this great wickedness the dear old party 'is destined to come to grief.._ But this •is some 'more Radical non sense—some more sweeping charges against the Deinocr4Cy by their partizan opponents. By no means. Our infer-. mation comes from the oracle of the party. For fear of mis-statement we quote literally, and at length, from Porn eroy,sDemocrat of yesterday : "It is now proposed . to raise ill the East a fund of millions—to send ono of the most prominent Now York politicians! and managers into the.

When wo were nt peace Democrats plunged us into war. When fighting the war Dem ocratic Oinventions pronounced our efforts failures, and encouraged. traitors to fight on long after they had given up hope themselves. When we had con quered peace, the same fellows demanded that wo slunild repudiate the debts con- tracted to conquer -theirown-trcacom Perhaps come of those chaps_may want to buy a Democratic Convention. It bac been demonstrated frequently that such things are purchasable. They might even want to join' with bondholders, railroad men, and speculators to increase the-public debt' and keep up a high rate of interest. It is vory natural, indeed, they should. They displayed prodigious talent in heaping 'up the present debt, and might naturally wish to pvpetuate it as air evidence of the amount of mis chief they can do when they try. This is deplorable, certainly, but then as long as we keep a Democratic party we must put up with these little, but somewhat inconvenient eccentricities. Now will some good honest, hard working • Democrat, who believes, that Radicals are somewhat worse than Satan, or some good weak-kneed Republican, who thinks there is too much " Fifteenth Amendment" about, just read Brick's article, as copied above, and then say bow much consideration a man 'l9serves who, having a reasonable share of trains, asks anybody . to vote the Democratic ticket, as ameasure of refoim. THE Pitisburg tiazette, in a rdeent all. ele oir the Great Railroad swhalu of last winter, shows a phase of it which is new to most persons. It says, "of the entire nine. and one-half millions of dollars, which were by - the operations lir the Om- Mims.. bill to have been diverted from the State 'treasury, the absolute control of the disbursement of eight millions would have fallen, by express arrangements of all parthisTiiirerested, into the hands of three of the most bitter and Unscrupu lous partizans hi the Democratic oppo sition. We name Messrs. F. W. llugheS, of Schuylkill ; A. Wallace, of Clear- field, and M B. Lowry, of Erie." There can be but little doubt that The Uitzelle is entirely correct in this matter. It was generally conceded last winter that Mr. Prank. Hughes was to be President of the Jersey Shore, Dine -Creek -and -- in \ truio Railroad Company; and it is almost equally certain that Mr. Wallace, although not named in. the, charter of the Clearlleld and Buffalo Railroad, carried that insti tution about in his pocket. This would have been a .. beautiful arrangement for 'the Democracy to have their two best politicians constructing railroads with funds derived from the sale of the State's securities. They would n't have colo nized any, or made the election of Con gressmen, or members of the Legislature, by a skilful manipulation of railroad' hands, and coffee-stained naturaliza tion papers—oh no, not they. Then it would have been grand to operate with a reserve fund of eight millions of dollars in the coping campaign. What fine speeches Mr. Wallace could have written on- the corruption, hnbecil ity and extravagance of Republican ad ministrations, - and how many tine fellows could have been paid handsomely for dis tributing them. The thing was elegant entirely. But, fortunately for the State and the Republican party, the •timely interference of the Governor spoiled this little game. Whatever may be done in the future, Messrs. Hughes and Wallace will not have the handling of all this mo ney for the present campaign. TILE Democracy have found another argument against the Fifteenth_ Amend-, Inca.

The visit to the national capital of several of the ablest and most powerful Sioux chieftains, and their interviews with the authoritiesgives.a new interest to the : much discussed, but never settled, Indian question. Thu practical policy of the Government has been to change the Indians from one reservation to an other, as they were encroached upon by the over advancing tide of emigration, to conciliate them by subsidies, and to punish them for outbreaks caused in part by the ill-treatment of whites, or the dishonesty of agents or traders. This- policy has been unsatisfactory to lioth parties. The more intelligent In dian chieftains have seen in it the de struction of their race. To the Govern ment it has been a source of endless per- Tdexity, and of great expense. Now, -the extension of emigration to the Pacific slopes, and the rapid occupa tion of the northwestern territories, Lave brought the question of our Indian policy up inn new form. It is. perfectly patent to observing minds that one of three things must be done. ,We must provide the Indians reservations In which they may bee permanently kept and protected,-or we must civilize o• ex terminate them. We are shut up by the circumstances developed to oneof theft -propositions : Which -is•the most feasi ble ? A,ticliberate purpose to exterminate them would not only grate upon the moral sense of the country, but it would prove a terribly costly experiment. There are now, according to the Indian- Burcan's figures, 378,5,77 Indians in this country, classified into tribes ; but - this does not 'estimate. fully the wild tribes, of which therd'aPit 'enough., to swell — the total to 500,000. Experience has taught us' that it costs terribly to kill Indians, by means of soldiers. It is estimated tliat we have 6puilLandlost-over—RBOp , 000,000 during the last decade in Indian wars. The Utah Indian war of 1853 cost 300 lives and $40,000,000. The In dian Wars on the Pacific, coast have cost not less than $300,000,000. . . In - New Mexico, three campaigns against the Navajoes cost $30,000,000. The cost of that Territory has been not less than $100,000,000, most of it from Indian troubles. The Seminole war cost $50,000,000 and fifteen years, with _many_lives— In nearly- every—instance some act of injustis9 iwrong done by whites, ofliehils, orlhe reckless scum of the border, have been the cause of the outbreak. We have lost thousands 'of lives and at least $1,000,000,000 in ex periments in Indian,wars. At this rate it will at the least cost twiceas much as the present national debt to kill oil' the Indians, not to speak of the inhumanity of -the propo' t ion. Our reservative policy, as hitherto practices], has been peculiarly unfortun ate. Senator Morton said one day re cently, during the discussion on the Indian appropriation bill, that the entire trouble grevrout of uneertaintythe people be lieved that reservation settlements cork etitutod no title to' the Indian. -111 e thought it about time Ave stopped re garding the Indians as the. homeless,va grant of our continent and whom it was a continual duty—a: civie virtue to be carefully inculcatedlo' require to, "•irbove on" at every turn and movemeutr, of the Western column of population. Aside from this it does not contrilltfik ao. now managed to their civilization. On their reservation they hunt for a riving w de pond upon the charity of the Govern ment In all they do not cultivate:those habits of industryor that, independence necessary for their perpetuation in coin. potition with the whito race. • The propolsition to Civilize;.s - upposes perntanont reservations; but with the withdrawal, after a time, of-annuities. The trouble thus far is that an intelligent policy of Civilization lias,iiiwor been adopted. The success of Superintend ent Janney, With a few tribes, shows'it to be entirely feasible! Even Rod Cloud seems to be impressed with its necessity. Their civilization once completed, and they will cease to be dependents on the Government, but will mix with the popu lation of the country, and thus - cease to be a source of anxiety or care. Aid& froM its humanity, this policy has the strong recommendation that .it will ul thuately prove economical. We hope, tlthrefore, that perpetual command, so ''ainfoying to the Indihn, to "move on," will never be..repeated, but that they: will be educated to be eitizons,.and to commingle with the White population of tie•country.—Pilteburg Dispatch.

On Friday, afternoon workmen woke engaged in digging the trench in order to cut the main gas Pipe, which was speedily accomplished at is distance of about fifteen feet from the curb, on gain street. On Saturday morning, bright an, i, early, the gas-fitters proceeded to lay the necessary pipe for conveying the gas to the balloon. About ten o'clock a. m., theprocess of inflation was commenced.

A short time before the_bal, loon left terra firma, several pigeons were noticed flying around and about the Court 'lons° square.and properties of J. Rheem and F: C.

They curved and swooped in strange fantastic Motions, notv this way,, then that, turning somersaults in mid-air, and air,'and acting in a manner highly un becoming staid and well fed pigeons. Some ono suggested that the birds had mistaken the crowd and noise for a Fourth of July celebration, and - not to be behind tile times had gotten on a " glorions old bust," and really so it seemed. Alas for the degeneracy of the times, when even retipeatable foWls will solar forget themselves as to make a public spectacle and laughing stock of their weakness and folly. By observing closely the` tads were freed from allsuch base suspicions, and the cause of the unusual commotion was dis Covered to be Aumbers of honey bees from the hives of Jacob Rheem. Tho bees were about swarming, „pad were flying in clouds around their hive, which was nailed to the -rear of It's 'back building. The pigeons in flying had passed through the cloud of 'excited honey-makers, and the infuriated bees pursued the unfortunate and 'rash pigeons on vengeance intent. After each bird flew a cloud of - angry insects, causing, by their fiery stings, the uncertain and unsteady (light that first attracted attention. In wide circles, now fast, now slow, flew,the fa'.4 weary ing birds ; goaded to desperation up they went, then down ; no use, the avengers were ever close at hand.
