In haste, the narrow aisle,
And the Deacon’s beuthold shoulders

And he said: “No fear, my brother,
Lest God think it _a sin :
For He sent the sun to make your buy,
And your friends toget it, in.” ,

srunption of spccic paylllcnts, today being
the first day since 1862 that a. government
legal tender dollar could be exchanged for ll
gold dollar.at the treasury, of the United
States. There was no excitement consequent
upon this important event. in the history of
the country, simply for the reason that gold
and paper have virtually been at par with
each other for two weeks and hence the
whole thing to_a certain extent had been dis- .
counted as all grand events usually are in
Wall street. So far as the dayiwas concerned
resumption was a success. At the sub-
treasury the demand for gold \l as light, and
the total amount‘ exchanged for paper was
$132,000—0nelot. of $100,000 and another
of $15,000. The first callers for gold seemed
to be of. a class of p‘eople impelled by cori-
osity, who were dcsirious of ascernlining for
themselves whether they could actually get
gold if they wanted it, and later some gill
was drawn by parties who were anxious to
keep on a gold basis until the complete suc—
cess of the experiment is assured. During
"the day about $500,000 in gold was deposited
at'thc treasury for‘legal tenders and eel-titl-
cafes of'dcposit. At the clearing house
clearings were conducted without any dis-
tinction between gold-and paper. At; the
'stock exchange the gold department was
abolished and any quotations for gold for.
hidden in the future and the gold dial taken
down. The gold room ended ‘its career as
such 10-day. Oil tbe,,blaekboard the word
“par" was written in thc'largestllettcrs . it
would hold: Register Messoreau sat behind
his desk brlt his day’s work was summed up
in the line, “Gold, 11 a.‘tn., 100, flat.” At
10:40 he received orders from the governing
committee to shut up the shop. He then
covered his instruments, locked his desk and
moved away, saying, “The shop is c‘osed,
gentlemen. At Delmonico's many of the
former gold speculators were discussing the
resumption and looked very sour at having
to seek other speculating enterprises fol-a
living. At the banks everything worked
smoothly, there being no special demgnd for
‘gold. A’mcetin‘g Of the Chamber Of Corn-
mercc was held and resolutions of 'congratu—
lation adopted “upon the consummation of
an event which has been so long and ardently
desired—resumption of Specie payments.”

The Kentucky mule which kicked over a
can of nitro-glycerine at Earlingtou, Ky.,
one day last week is no longer a mule, and
there are no longer any traces of the man
behind the traces. The St. Bernard Coal
Company, in whose mine. the explosion oc-
Curred, have of late begun tousc a small
quantity 'of nitroglycerin with powder
for blasting purpose‘s. They have. had _a
large quantity of the new material stored
in the upper’mines for several weeks, in
charge of the mine boss. An old colored man
was sent to fetch some nitro-glycerine. He
went to the magazine,and after gettinga sup-
ply, left a can of it besides the car truck
till he could deliver the charge. While
gonea team of empty cars came by, drawn
by two mules. One_cf the .mulcs kicked
the can, when it instantly exploded, blowing
mules, car anti the negro driver into atoms
_ .and filling the passage with rubbish of all
kinds from.lhe roof. Two seconds after-
Wards the blasting powder stored' in the
adjoining'room also exploded with terrific
force.

time she had been .addressedin like manner
of late, and at about the same place, her
indignation was aroused to the fighting
point, and she dealt the fellow a vigorous
.blow on the nose with her fist, as her black
and blue and swollen hand testified next
morning, “What (IOJ'OII mean .9” said the
fellow, somewhat astonished at . the reply
he got to his mild “Good evening.” “I mean,”
said the lady. “that I’ll see if I can’t walk
down Mainstreet, if I choose, at 9 o’clock
at night, unmolested.”"-I’ll have you arrest-

THE BUFFALO Moru.——At a recent meet.
ing Of the Boston Slciety Of Natural History
a paper on “The Carpet Beetle (Buffalo
Moth) and Other House and Museum Pests”
was read by Di. II. A. Hagen. Of the
beetle, and the way to fight it he said: .
“In Europe the species is very commtn
everywhere, living on flowers, but its dr-s’
tructive propensities were well known and
described more than a century ago. There it
likes to enter through the attic windoWs,
and prefers to live on (lead flies, common ill
such places. But where it spreads from
there through other rooms, it is just as Ob-
noxiousas it ls here. Every woolen thing,
collections of objects of natural history,
plants, insects, birds, ruwllidcs, hair, furs and
similar things, are quickly destroyed. As
carpets are not in use in Europe except in
winter timc,’aud then. mostly not 'f'aslcncd
down near the walls, and as all carpets-are
carefully SI()1‘C(l.lI'-\'ay during the summer,- it
has not the chance to be as destructive as
. here, asjust the spring and summer are its
most“ favorite seasons. Nevertheless it is
rather diflicult to understand that this insect
was not introduced earlier, and I think the
most probable Opiuiou‘is that a large lot of
__infected carpets bought in Europe and im-
ported. here has been the first cause of its
alarming appearance. ‘
“Every new carpet or rug should be con-
sidered as dangerous, and treated as the Old
ones; that is, exposed lathe open air, in sun.
shine if possible, as sunlight the lame canntt
stand, and strongly beaten before laid in the
rooms. The common custom, to order new
carpets in the stores and lay them directly in
the rooms, is apparently the most dangerous
course to be pursued. Further, it is observ-
cd that the beetles by, preference f )llow the
pracks in the floor; all should be made tight,
or tit least filled with fallow. The tallow is
a very dangerous substance for the larvae and
eagerly avoided by them," as the fat easil y
attaches to the spiraclcs with killing effect. ‘
Therefore, the most common candle tallow.
being softer, is better than the purified. For
the same purpose I'sllouid recommend tal-
lowed paper to be put along the walls.
only a foot or two underneath the carpets, as
just the places near the walls are .their most
chosen abode. Of course a careful and
more frequent inspection of the carpets will
be necessary, if the number of ‘ larvae seems
to be in any way alarming. I think it will
be impossible to get rid of them entirely, but
it will he certainly possible to keep them
within limits, so that they will be not more
dangerous than any other house pests.”

“Apprcllonsive of beillg called upon to
furnish proof of its reports of alleged Demo-
cratic frauds at the South, the New York
' Tribune admits that it has none, and pleads
that it should not. be earlier] upon for any.
The substance of its plea is the impossibility

is well taken. and should be allowed.”
—Brl'dgc}wrt Farmer, January Alth, 1879.
Really the [I'm-mel- is quite an interesting
newspaper, “and no doubt but what iticou-
sidered the above a powerful piece of work—-
clit‘orilly—but it is in perfect keeping iwilll
the knowledge that the Farmer generally
shows regarding questions of public interest.
In the article which the Former refers to,
the Tribune says: "It has probably occur-
' r d to Mr. Thurman by this time, and also‘to
a great many talkative members of his party,
that it is quite proper to make a demand for
the investigation of alleged occurreilces,
without havingpersonal'knbwledge that the
allegations are true, *" .* 1‘ * but Demo-
(ratio newspaper's recently have been of a
contrary mint ." ‘
Newspapers heralded the charges tll. t the

calling upon the newspapers for proof. V 011
no, we must have an investigating committee,
and what for? Simply to listen to the, tes-
timony (above all others.) of a red-bedded
liar from Louisiana, who admitted that he
had committed perjury on a former occasion.
before another committee, bllt according to
the Farmer his testimony is true, because it.
favors the Democratic party. I have, been
informed that the senior editor of the Far-
mer is a lawyer. Now if said editor was
counsel in some case at law, how much im-
portance would he attach to the testimony Of
a witness, admitting on examination that he
had committed pcrjury‘ou a former occasion,
and in the same case. i
5 The TrzMfiEhIsOEBays "‘Now it is Mr.
Thurnmn'li's 'turn. W;Hc‘:=‘offered an amend—
ment to Mr. Elaine’s resolution, extending
the inquiry to wrongful practices in Northern
elections, and; he too is called upon for
proofs. He answers just as Mr. Blaine. 'did,
man can have personal knowledge of all; the
matters embraced in the inquiry. Well
what does the Far-merisay to that? Will it
say that Senator Thurman ought to furnish
the proof of his charges. I’ratller think not.
Now of latc’ the Farmer'hns been making
charges of intimidating iu'i Massachusetts,
and New‘ York city. Can it furnish the
proof? There is a vast difference in the
charges of the Tribune as to intimidation in
fiQSOIIID, andtho’se of'tlle' Further as to :the
same thinqu the North. While the Trl'bfrme
has its own correspOndeut’s throughout the
South, and they are all men of credence,
notably so, Mr. 7. L. White, who went to
South Carolina, and obtained the facts con-
cerning the late election in that State, and
no Dcmocratic'Journal of any note dares
question the accuracy of his statements;
Has the Farmer forgotten ”the conversation

railroads of South Car'oliua? Two men.

that they (the Democrats) In: It.) do it or be
beaten. Bulldozing and red shirts could not
prevail in that State, unless accompanied bv
'a system of ballot-box stuffing that would
have disgraced Tammany in its pahniest
days. The Farmerclrarges intimilation in
the North. The Republicans deny it and
grant an amendment to be added to the
Blaine resolution ordering an investigation
in the North, as well as in the South. Mark
the contrast. ' The Democrats charge fraud
and wrong doing in the late Presidential
election, and call for an investigation. The
Republicans wish to have Democratic doings
in Oregon, in fact all charges of fraud,looked
into. And not a single Democrat in the
House, with the bare exception of Alex. H.
Stevens, has the manhood to vote. for the
amendment. ‘
Again, the Tribune says, “A newspaper
has no power to compel witnesses to testify
or to protect witnesses. When it has ex
llausted its limited means of investigation, ‘if
it finds a prima facie cn~c of outrage, it
should call on Congress to d.) the rest. And
that is the course which the Republican press
has followed in tile recent affair," { '
Because a newspaper}lll‘ou'gh Some Of its
correspondents comes irlto possessionof news
of importance, and publishes it, and by so
if .ilrg incurs the enmity of some person or
class of persons who may differ with it i
political opinion, does it not. naturally follow
that. said newspaper must furnish the proOf
Of its correspondent’s’communications before
a Congres'siOnal' committee? " The writer
hardly thinks that any fair-minded journal
will take that ground. Andyet, according
to the Forum’s reasoning, it takes that very
ground. Well, iFsucll was the general cus-
tom the Farmer would often be called upon
to prove a great many’things which it would
not be possible for it to do. ' I
Democratic journals would be wise if they
would profit by the example set them by tle
Peoria Ill National Drmocrat, afiwestern
Democratic journal of considerable influence
which has the good sense to accept the
truth: of the charges of southern, outrages,
and to. speak out plainly concerning them, as
follow : “We think it is high time fbr demo-
cratic papers every where, especially in the
llorrb. to ‘dry llp' about the ‘bloody shirt,’
and ‘sorrlllcrn oulrllgcs.’ The sneaking,
cowardly murder of 'Wllite' and Clark, two
witnesses on their way to New Orleans, to
testify under subpmna of the United States
Court, before the United States Grand Jury,
is an ‘outragc’ that cannot be excused,palliat-
'cd, patched up, nor defended by any honest
lelitc 11-1111], and the sooner Blaine and his
.whole committee, and the Federal Army, too, '
get after the perpetrators, the better for the
peace of the country. If these southern
devils think that the northern democracy are
going to back them up in all and any sort of
dinbolism they may perpetrate, they are
very much mistaken. They have cursed the
northern democracy long enough, and .. often
enough by their inhuman barbarism, and if
they want _any further support from north-
ern democrats they must act like civilized
white men and not like demoniac savages.
The country has had exactly enough of that
sort of conduct and no more will be tolerated.
Let us have no more about the bloody shirt

ocratic paper. These' southern devils have

How an Artist Paid His Debt.
VThe death of William Altborpe Adams of
'Vmcmnali. last week, recalls all anecdote of
Thomas CJIL‘. the al'tit-lt who painted the
“V 01030 Of Life" and other works. Cole was
.ravclllug in OlliO, from, place to place, paint.
lug portraits. 0n reaching Zauesville he
found that he had no money with which to
pay for food and lodging, So he contracted
with the proprietor of the village inn to com-
pensate him for board by’ painting a portrait
of his wife. When the portrait was finished
the landlord, dissatisfied with it, refuse to ac-
cept it and held the artist for his bill. The
law imprisoning debtors was still in force,
out Cole attracted the attention of young
Adams, who came to his rescue us a lawyer
and extricat’ed him from his-trouble, and then
With the assistance of two or three other per-
sons, advanced himthe money with which to
rescue him from his immediate difficulties.
.lIr. Adams and his friends. did not hear from
rim for several years, until after he had re-
turned from Europe. Then Mr. Adams
wrote to Cole reminding him of the borrowed
money. The prompt reply contained aclleck
for the amount, with interest for the twenty
rr more years that the debt had run, and
With this came a package containing two of
Mr. Cole’s best pictures.

THE LIFE or A KAsts. Covaluvom—Jolm
P. St. John, just elected governor of Kansas,
has had a career checkered enough to furnish
the basis for the liveliest kind of a dime
novel. He was a Hoosier boy, son of an ce-
)CDIIIC resident on an island in White river.
a few miles south of Indianapolis.
When a dozen years Old, John started out
0 line his own row, getting the rudiments of
an education first, and then settling down for
1 time at Olncy, 111., where he married at the
early age of nineteen. A few months later
he was a widower, and was sw'ept west by
the California gold fever, then at its height.
St John crossed the Mississippi with a five
franc piece in his pocket, and teamed it across
the plains, using the wages he got on reach;
'ng the mining region to buy a lot of lame
:attlc. These he doctorcd up and sold for five
1111112111311 dollars, with which he began suc-
:cssful mining speculations, and made and
xpent money fast. He was as rough-and—
umble a fellow as.any in the mountains for
four years, but one day strayed from camp
lad was chased by indians for two days. t.
thn was tough and fleet enough to outstrip
them, but he had to run part of the way in
rare feet over snow and ice, and it was six
months before he was about again.
(Then he took passage for South America
in a sailing vessel, but was wrecked among
.hc Sandwich islands, without money . or
:lothes. The plucky fellow worked his way
rack f0 Illinois, and was praticing law at
)harlcston when the war turned him. loose
rgaln. Now it was'COlonel St. John of hon-
rrablc record, and at the close Of the war his
:tirring soul still found pleasure in fighting
he Missouri busllwackers about his Indepen-
lencc home. But he was now married a
=econd time and somewhat sobered by age,
rud, moving to Olathe, Kan, Colonel 81.
John went into the no less exciting but safe
:ontest of politics. He was prominent in
_ lnhorsiug Senator Pomcroy, which made him
ropular in the state, and, now in the prime
if life and in the governor’s sent, it would
rot be strange if he should feel called to go
to Washington himself, to: round out an
eventful career. '

CHEAP Bani: AND WINE;
Tile wife of President Hayes is hardly an
exceptional specimen of the ladies of middle.
Ohio. He bclongs to another type, the
steady habits of civilization of Connecticut
and Vermont; but his fascinating wife is
a reminder of the Virginfa Obloans. The
women of this region are 'gcnerally bru-
nettes, with dark gray or darkly fringed
eyes; Often hazel Colers or the brown
predominating. ’ The blondes are generally
fattisll, and all are as well fed as their beef
cattle. They are-confident and out-spoken,
yet with a true modesty that never simmm,
I‘he gossip life and unfounded assumptions
or servilo social concessions which belittle
eastern intercourse do not take the nerve
out. of young people in the west. And in
Qincinnati no healthy desire is fettercdby
J. social law; The best ladies go to the
pleasure gardens Oil the high mountainous

free, and listen to line music.- These gar-
lens are reached by steam inclined planes
' lr-lifts, which, 'in a minute, hoist a multi-
.llde outof the depths Of the city to plateaus
000 to 700 feet in the air. 15y night and
)u Sundays these gardens are in full blast ;
the clergy and the bridal couple are found
there,aud they have become the—lyceums
of musical taste. Notwithstanding this
freedom of public intercourse, Cincinnati
is one of the most. virtuous cities on our
continent,. family loyalty being based on
kindness, good sense, and example. Cheap-
ness is the law of things here. Streetcar
fare is only four cents. Good wine is
thirty cents a bottle The brewers are
among the richest people, and their best
beer will not export successfully. As you
sit in the great halls tractors come through
with 1101. Vienna sausage, served on acush-
ion of horse radish and brown bread. That
is half a dime, and is the frugal supper of
many a citizen. Beef and white fish are
cheap and abundant. The Ohio Valley is
