FRYK'S FUSILLADE.

- A Tvfo-Sidpu Swindle. One day Mr. -William -E. Dodge sat down in his private office, at No. 13 Cliff street, and began to peruse his private mail. Among the lirst letters he opened was one which would, have attracted more than ordinary attention on account of the graceful paurunnship and the remarkable neatness of epistle, even if it had not set forth somo very important faote besides, Tt told in a manly, straightforward way tho story of the writer, who was, so he explained, a minister of tho gospel, suffering from an illness of his vocal organs, so that he could no longer exercise his priestly functions; He Lad been aillicted so long that he had been forced, because of poverty, to seek treatment and a temporary home in the

City Hospital, He felt that he ought to j

be afoot on God s work, bnt he was unable to carry out that wish and desire, and until recently he bad no hope of being able to ever again labor in the vineyard. But ho had jnst been assured by some excellent physicians C naming them) that if he would go South ne would certainly recover the use of his voice, and it was in the hope that Mr. Dodge would assist him with the loan, say of $50, that this defter was written. In conclusion the writer mentioned, as though casually, that, he knew very well certain clergymen whom bo named. Mr. Dodge knew the clergymen and entertained the request so favorably that it was only necessary to read an inclosnre that camo with the letter signed by a physician to cause him to, draw out his check book, write in $50 and send it to the applicant. The doctor's letter written in a sharp, professional hand, set forth that tho clerinmaa was really in

need of the money, and the object was i

so deserving - that the kindness of Mr. Dodge's consideration would bo well placed, etc

Presently Mr. Dodge heard something!

that leal Inm to believe that he had been victimized and thus ho tells tho story: "I had no sooner sent tho check thnurI began to fear I had made a mistake nnd I instituted an inquiry. I discovered

fcliafc the preacher whs a fraiul aud the i

doctor was an inmate of the hospital because of alcoholkin. I supposed ho was one of the physicians of the institution. It seems that the preacher didut know enough about business to get the ojieck cashed, and so he turned it over to the doctor, who brought it tp my. office nnd got the money. Then he slipped away and made no division with his confederate. So, you see, the preacher became, like myself, the victim of the swindle. New .York Herad.

PROCEEDINGS OF COXGRESS. . The Senftte Committee on Foreign Eolations demoted some time on Thursday, April" 1:8, to the discussion of the Morgan resolution, wliieh proposes -that the assent of the United Btatcs tihtmlrt lie a condition precedent to the constrnotlon of a Bhip canal across the Isthmus of Panama, Tim committee came to no definite conclusion as to what trimuld Ik done with the resolution, end ended by referring it to a Bxib-coirinjittce, consisting of Gen. Buruside, who report it back to the full committee at au early dayi Renalors lint'er and lf;dc -were tb--Ppeakers, arid tho old frtraw was thrashed omre more1. Nothing was done, and the Senate adjourned -to Monday." Mr. Farley, of California, spofco for somo time, on the opening of the. Senate on Monday, May 2, called attention to the large number of nominations s waiting action, aud movelr to go iutn executive eession! The people of his State, ol all political parties, were appealing to the Senate to consider portsnt matters in which they wore directly interested. Petitions were daily coming from California asking for consideration of the Chinese treaty. A debate ensned between Messrs. PaweH and Farley, the -Chiiteee "uetttion receiving considerable attention. Afterward a few remflrlia were made by Mesttrn. Beck and Salinbiir, and the Benate adjourned. The llcpubliran CauetiH Committee, couistfnp of Boven Heualors, mtt and o greed on a report They recommend that executive sessions be held immediately to traiiBuct business in the following order: First, to refer to the appropriate coramitteoB all nominations now on the table; second, to take action ou tho various trcaticB awaiting ruUncation ; third, to consider all uncontented nominations, that ia, such SB ore not objected to by any Republican Henator from the Staio to winch the appointment belongs. When this progrnnime 1b completed the contested nominations may be considered. In tho Senate, Mr. lavia, of West Virginia, made the first speech of tho day on Tuesday, May 3, defending bin State upon tho debt question, and was followed by several other Senators upon the same subject The Republican wer willing to adjourn early for the purpose of caucusing on the holding of executive sessions. In accordance with tho decision of tho Itcpubllcan caucus, Mr. Dawes novcd that the Senate go Into executive season, on Wednesday, May 4, the motion being unanimously adopted. The following

The Habit of Thrift- -The habits of thrift are defined by the IiOndoh Gfobe as facts of self-denial for the sake of some object in the future, and it is just such acts as these which pcoplo in all cities find it extremely dim-, cnlt to practice. It is a matter to a very great extent ' depending on ''natural disposition which varies just as much in one class as iu another. There are some who by nature are endowed with1 the i accumu

lative propensity of the squirrel, the bee j

and the ant. They find a keen aud absorbing pleasure in hoarding what they get; not, perhaps, for its own sake, but as a measure of successful action, and as a kind of reserve of power which they have at command should they choose to exert it. Others seem to have nothing of tins iu their composition. The power that money gives seems to them dormant and useless until it is put in action. They are sanguine as to the future, rarely foresee trouble, and are gay and lighthearted in the present; whereas the acquisitive individual will usually be found apprehensive of the coming time, and very apt to meet his troubles half-way. These two types of character are as marked and distinct as any two possiblv can be, and - the extreme of each can scarcely be considered amenable to modifying influences to any extent. Moreover, they are conSged not to one class but are found in all. Education is commonly regarded as the proper cure for thriftless habits, and, to.a certain ex-nt, no doubt, it is. But education cannot eradicate the constitneut traits of iudividual character. The accumulative and foreboding .will always remain more or less so, and- the sanguine and free handed will always feel the passing day to be' the one really important point of time. Moreover, although education implies self-restraint and thoughtfulness, it, .of course, has a tendency to expand the view and to create desires which may or may not be of a simple and inexpensive kind. The habit of self-restraint is the one point to which education must tend if it is to develop thrift; and" looking around on. society generally it is difficult sometimes to discern the existence of this control of individual proclivities iu one class moro than another, though the nature and direction of those proclivities may vary considerably. How Clay Captured a Vote. It is a historic fact that the fourteenth Congress, beginning on the 4th of December, 1815i aud onding March yd,. 1817, passed what is known as the Compensation Bill. It gave to each member a salary of Si. 500 per annum. This salary was regarded by the people, as a great outrage, and they retired early all of its supporters 't i private life. Henry Clay was among tho few who escaped the wrath of the people. The anecdote has come down to us that when ho was canvassing for a renewal of his commission, an old gentleman, who had hitherto boon his fast friend, said to him: "Mr. Cliiy, I can sustain you no longer. Your vote, oil that abominable bill shocks my feelings." To which Mr. day replied: 'I)o you over go hunting?" "Often." 7 "Have you a good rifle?' ."One of the b.si that was ever made." ' "Has it ever snapped?" "Yes, sir." "What did yon do with it then? Iid you throw it away?" "No, sir. I picked my Hint and tried

it again, and by the Lord I am going to

try you Journal,

again." Louixvilte Courier

It is Certain, "though the mills of the gods grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small," Sir, the gentlemen may smile at the expression of the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr, Cameron) of warning, but they need not. They should remember history. It has been written "in this country for our benefit and for the benefit of men aspiring to freedom the wade w orld over, and the 'man for whom history is written, who reads it not, and learns no lesson from it, is a fool. There were, unfortunately, two civilizations in

this land ; of ours ; the one the civiliza

tion of the North, founded, upon the school-book aud Bible; tho other the civilization of the South, planted upon slavery ; the oifb a pure democracy, the other an aristocracy sitting down upon

barbarism. They could not live side by

side in tne same country. There was an irrepressible conflict sooner or later to open up between them, and God was to give- Ute victory to one or the other. Both could not live forever in a free country. Barbarism grew, and grew, oh, so fast, so strong grew so powerful that she seemed to have had her grasp upon the whole broad country. Instead ol freedom being the corner-stone, It was slavery, it was barbarism. You grew so strong that you swallowed up the great parties of the country; so strong that you bought great territories to streuGrth-

en yourself still more, so strong that you

matte laws even for a free peop:e, -so powerful that you put on the statute book tho most infamous laws that were ever recorded on the statute books of any country, civilized or uncivilized, in the wide' world. You grew i-o strong that you enacted a law and compelled ' the freedom of the North to submit to it, which, iu tho old Commonwealth of Massachusetts, right insight of Fanouil Hall, where liberty was said to have been born, compelled Massachusetts men to shoulder the musket, and, ii,0JO strong, hunt down one poor black mau, to deliver him to his master, and the barbarism" was so insolent and wicked that when the poor fellow was brought home to bondage it built bonfires ou every hill Jill over the Southern land, and made the Southern heart rejoice with joy exceeding. It grew so strong that finally it reached out its poisonous hand to seize upon the free Territories, and Chen, for the first time, seemingly, the civil ization of the North born f the Bible and the school-book woke up. It started into power, called a halt, and said io your barbarism, " Thus far, and not one btep farther, forever." The "barbarism was so insolont that it" levied war tried to destroy the country but civilization, now alive to its duties, raised armies, built navies, equipped ' both, fought you for four years, made your rivers run red with blood, finally conquered you- conquered secession: conquered the infamous doctrine of secession aud then 'the war was over. Suppose barbarism had triumphed, what would this country have seen? Would not estates , have been confiscated? "Would - not : great cities;' have been pillaged and burned? Would not men have been hung in tho North? Ah, but thank God, civilization born from . the Bible as well -as the schoolbook prevailed, and not a dollar was confiscated, not a man was hung, not a man was punished," and when the great commander said to .the Congressmen, "Go home in peace, be good citizens, and I will take care of you," the great heart of the North said : "Amen and amen," and you went home. In the meantime :WO had made 4,000f000 men, women and children free. While you were carrying on the war they stayed at home, worked your farms, and took care of your wives; and your little children; They were faithful, they were kind, they were tender, they never betrayed you. Not one, Tho Northern civilization thought thr4with that record for the colored man his chivalrous master, the white man of the South, would give him every right he was entitled to, out of gratitude, if for no other reason, and it left the colored race in your hands, and then the very first Legislature you called together, with the spirit of - barbarism still hovering over -you, enacted the infamous laws reducing the black man to a serfdom worse , than slavery ..tho laws the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) read here iri this distinguished presence the other day. When the story of these laws came to us at the North we could not believe it, but we were forced to believe, and then determined that the black man should have his rights, and to that end we put the ballot in his hands. Wo made him a citizen of the United States, your equal in the eyes of the law, and then you commenced the contest, the bitterest, sayagesthistory that over was written on the page of any history" in the wide world, pagan, ; barbaric or civilized. The gentlemen may deny as much as they please, but the country knows that thousands and tens of thousands of black voters were killed in cold blood in your Southern States. You men knowlt in Mississippi ; the Senator from Louisiana knows it m Louisiana, Ah, gentlemen, the pen of history, with its iron point, has written the terrible story of those few years in your bright Southern land, and your children and their children reading it will hide their faces in their hands and their hnuds in the duat. I have no desire to recall or recite it. Tho North determined that it should stop. Wo sent our armies down there, and it did stop. Our armies sbud there, scattered through the South, and tho black man exercised his' right of suffrage. Then time wore on. Mr. Hayes was elected President. You went to him ; you made hiiu brilliant promises, and, alJured by those promises, ho withdrew the soldiers, and from that day to this you havo had a solid South, From that day to this you say it has been peaceable. About so is the graveyard peaceable. From that day to this yoi$ say it has been free, fair voting and an honest count. I put upon record here evidence contradicting that. We iu the North know to-day that you are refusing

tho black man the rights which have been necorued him, and now, impelled by our civilization, we t!ohi6 mien more, and we say to you solemnly that every citizen of the United States, white r'r b'lvck, foreign-born or native-born, 'shall have and enjoy all the rights granted to him by the constitution of his country ; and more, we say to you now, compelled by that same civilization, that tho laws of the United States upon -tin's statute book shall be enforced in every inch of territory over which floats the stars and stripes, and, Senators from the South, by the help and in the name of Almighty God, we will accomplish that purpose. Outraged Democratic Virtue. The Democrats are disposed to assume a virtue though they have it hot. They are terribly wrought up. just now over what they call an " outrageous political bargain " between the republican Sena"fcors and Mahone, of Virginia. They justify their present obstructive tactics in the Senate on the ground that it is a high moral duty they own the country to resist the consummation of this bargain" Their virtuous . indignjion arises from two catisds--frrst, because the Senator from Virginia should refuse obedience to the Bourbon caucus and act with the .Republicans ; and, secondly, because the republicans should consentto avail themselves of the co-operation of one whom the Democrats please tocidl a "repudiator." The Democratic managers tee no contradiction in this state of things. The Democratic caucus might avail itself of the vote of a "repudiator," and the transaction would be all right ; but if the Republicans entertain such a person the spectacle is disreputable 1 How the Democratic politicians can get up even the appearance of resentment at tho suggestion of a "bargain," is difficult to understand. There is no kind of political trade which the Democrats have not tried within the past few years m their unceasing effort to grab the, spoils of office. They took up Horace Greeley and agreed to make him President if he could draw enough votes from the Republicans to constitute -a majority with the Democratic votes. That was certainly a more serious " bar-, gain" than the ctfort to make a friend of Mahone's Sergeant-at-Arms in the Senate. The Democrats, have also bar-: gained with . the . Greenbf ckers " and pandered to the Communists wherever they though they could gain party ; advantage by such a course. Why is Mahone's association : with tho Republicans any more of -a " bargain ' than his association with the Democrats would have been ? Why k it any more disreputable than the Association ol David Davis with the Democrats ? Mahone was elected as an Independent. During the canvass ho bit-tor--ly opposed tho Bourbons, with whom, now he is elected, ho' refuses to act. The majority of those who sent him to the Seuate are Republicans; He claimed, however, to be free of all obligation to either of the existing parties in the United States Senate. The Democrats endeavored to persuade him to vote and act with them. He refused. In voting and acting with the Republicans he has furnished no more evidence of venality than if he had gone into the Democratic caucus, and his attitude is more consistent now than it would have been then. Affectation of Democratic contempt for a " repudiator" is just as transparent as assumed indignation at a1 "bargain.'' If Mahone is objectionable to the Dem-: ocrats on this ground it is because he is not enough of a repudiator. He wants to pay two-thirls of .the old Virginia debt and leave the oth'ir third to be paid by West Virginia, which enjoyed its' sdiare of the . benefits. The Bourbons don't want to pay any part of this debt, but merely to keep the account. ' On the Democratic side, there are repudiat-. ors of alt shades and degrees. " There are' these representing constituencies who : " scaled" their State and local debts, and there are also those who proposed to repudiate the entire national debt, aud made a presidential campaign upon that issue. Au exhibition of Democratic resentment at any kind or degree of repudiation is, therefore, simply ridiculous. These same Democrats would have gladly -welcomed and eager-, ly defended Mahone if he had consented to take his seat on the Democratic side. The Democrats will not be able: to conceal from the country that: they are obstructing public business for the solemn! selfish purpose of retaining Confederates and Bourbons in a few subordinate places in the Senate. It may be that the Republican effort to gain possession of these same places does not Wiurant a suspension of executive business, but even that theory does not excuse the Democratic policy of obstruct t on nor warrant the : Democratic prer t me of superior virtue.

M; Brama killed a rabbit aud a cat by administering to each a gramme of this acid.

Daubree says that this native sulphur has nothing to do with the escape of gas from the mains, but that its origin is due to the simultaneous presence of various kinds of organic substances and of gypsum in the soil. Prop CabtsiiXiV, of Sheffield, has shown that liquids can be reduced to a solid, or frozen state, and still retain their heat. In order to convert a solid into a liquid the pressure must be above a certain point. As long, therefore, .as the necessary pressure is maintained, no amount of heat will liquify it. By observing this law, Prof. Carnelly succeeded in freezing some water in .a glass vessel which remained so hot as to burn his handV - According to Pro!

Manx readers may know the experiment in which a lighted match or caudle being moved about near the side of one of the eyes in a dark room, reveals the network of blood vessels in the retina. A curious " phenomenon ' of ' the same order has been lately observed bv M. .Charpentier. Lookhigat asky uniibrra ly ilhiminated with diffuse white light, he made the two fingers "of his right hand (separate about 0.1 to 0.2- m.),. to pass rapidly to an fro before his eyes, and in about half a minute the uniform aspect of the sky was greatly changed. On a white background appeared a mosaic composed of hexagons of violet purple color, separated by white- lines. Other persons, he says, have repeated the experiment with success.- He gives ' reasons for thinking that the hexagonal images correspond to the cones in the fovea and yellow spot, which cones, pressed together, form a sort of hexagonal mosaic The white lines probably correspond to filaments charged with crystals of pigment, which descend from the chorodian cells. Dr. Le Boj? continues his researches regarding the products of tobacco The new alkaloid -found in tobacco, smoke (with other aromatic principles, aud prussic acid as well as nicotine) is a liquid of very agreeable ana very penetrating color, and as poisonous as nicotine, the twentieth part of one drop sufficing" to paralyze and kill a frog. It is the prussic acid and the various aromatic principles that cause headache, giddiness; and nausea; in smoking certain tobaccos that contain .little nicotine. Other tobaccos, rich in nicotine, have no such effects. The tobaccos containing most prussio acid and collidme are : those of Havana and the Levant The dark, -semi-liquid, matter .which condenses in pipes and cigar-holders contains all the substances mentioned,- as well as carbonate of am.nonia, tarry and coloring matter, : etc. -It is very poisonous'. Two or three drops of ifc will kill a small animal. The combustion of the tobacco destroys but a Bmall ' part of tl ;6 nicotine, and most of "this appears iu the smoke. - The proportion absorbed by smokers " varies according to circumstances, but hardly ever fall's below fifty-centigrammes for every 100 grammes of tobacco burned. About the same quantity of ammonia is absorbed at the same time. Naturally, more of the poisonous principles are absorbed when tlm smoked is breathed, as in a room; less' in the open air. A frog placed in a receiver containing a solution of nicotine, with about a drop of that substance to a little water, succumbs in a few hours: Tobacco smoke contains about eight millilitres of carbonic oxide per " 10C grammes ; of tobacco burned: Tho. poisonous properties of tobacco smoke are not due to this gas, ahas bcou maintained in Germany,2 -

! Jesting In Letters. Many an otherwise pltxtsant letter has beeu spoiled by words which the writer meant as a jest, but-which the reader took in earnest. A' pleasantry depends on otlrer things besides the words uttered. - Along with it go the manner of the speaker, the tone of his voice and the expression of his face. None of these can be put on a cold sheet of paper, aud so the letter of the. sort I here complain of gives pain instead of the pleasure in tended. - It can not be read with the emphasis with which the writer would read it. The reader catches no half-blown smile,' no suppressed merriment on its cold, immovable face, as he might if he could have looked on that of his correspondent pvhen 'the epistle was penned. The experiment is thus a dangerous one to try, if we value the feelings of others and care to retain our correspondents: "We can hardly blame others if they misconstrue our words. We are liable to do the same with the words of others. All tho punctuation of exolamatiou points will not make up for just, one twinkle of the eye iu a conversation I would say to young folks (and others, too, for that matter), don't joke on paper. .You may be sorry for ifc. A sheet of paper can't smile, or modulate the tone, or shrug the shoulders, or convey the delicate emphasis that indicates that fun is meant and not seriousness. Many misunderstandings have risen from the habit of using playful sarcasm in friendly correspondence. Prolonged alienation of warm friends has oftentimes resulted from the most unintentional attempt at humorous satire or some innocent jest in" a letter.

Imitation Precious Stones The really beautiful imitation stones made in Paris consists of a very pure, transparent, and lustrous glass, oalled Strass, after its inventor, which' is frequently colored with the same metallic oxides as real precious stones. Thus the color of the topaz is obtained from antimony and gold; that of the ruby from purple of Oassius (a stannate of tin with stannate.or oxide of gold), or from a solution of gold in aqua regia (nitromnriatic acid). Tho well-known Bohemian ruby glass is produced by copper, aiuUi commoner kind byiron. Some of the finest yellow glass is colored with silver. The first precious stone to be successfully produced by artificial means was the lapis lazuli, the saphire of classical times, but by no means to be" confounded with the saphire of the modem jeweler, though closely related to it. Lapis lazuli is an opaque stone of an exquisite corn-flower blue, and was highly prized by tho ancient Indians, Assyrians, Persians, Jews, Egyptians and Greeks. Freed from irapurties and rubbed down, it gives the ultramarine used by mediaeval artists for the robes of the Madonnas; and in their dayat was worth its weight in gold, the vnrchaser of a picture having always to pay extra for its use. Its rarity and tho coat of preparation make tho true ultramarine still worth from ten shillings to fifty shillings the ounce. Arthur is good at singing a rousing song.
