For tbe jMer Ceartcr . Comfort.

Pawing from my daily labor, Here I pause to rest awhile ; Puffing, smoking, idly dreaming, Resting here upon tbe stile. All along life's rough journey, Be the weather foul or fair, And in spite ef every hardship, I build castles in tbo air. And I dream of wealth and power, Fortunes, gifts and friendship's smile ; Ah t but I'm a happy beggar, Dreaming here upon tbe stile. Youth's misfortune, poverty's troubles, B-eakers on life's turbid stream; Pass before my mind liko bubbles, Still I'm happy, still 1 dream. Yes, I take with all good feeling, Every sneer and every flout; Always to my pipe appealing, Hlcss'mo. all the tobacco's out. Crakeus nkck. Smokeii. RESUMPTION. Speech of Geuerjil TIioiiirh Ewlug1 Delivered in the Hoiikc of ltcpreHenUtiveM, ThurNday, June 1878. On the substitute of the Senate for the (II. H. No. 805) to repeal the third section of an act entitled "An act to provido for the resumption of specie pay men is. ' Mr. Ewiuif Mr. Speaker on the 24th of November last the House passed the hill to repeal nil that part ol the act or January 14, lb7o. wiiicn authorizes tnc Secretary of the Treasury to iucrcase the bonded debt or ue surplus revenues to provide for redemption in coin of United States notes on and after January 1st, 1879 The Senate sends the hill back to us with all after the cnactiug clause strickeu out and with two wholly diffeieut provisions inserted. They are, firfct, a provixiou to make greenbacks receivable in payment for lour per cent, coin bonds; and, second, a provision to make greenbacks recuivable for customs alter Octolicr 1-t, 1878. On Friday last, when the bill was received back from the Senate with these amendments, I moved to non-concur, and asked a Committee of Conference The motion wan defeated by nearly a tie vote. The gentleman from Illinois (.Mr. Fort) now moves to concur in the amendments. 1 have a word or two to pay why, in uiv opinion, that motion should not prevail. Wo are told wo can get no more than the Senate now offers, and if we full to take this we shall get nothing. Still, that Is not the spirit with which we should maintain the rights of the people. If wo are ready to accept a slight concession in lieu of a lficut riuht, a will henceforth bo expected to petty sacrllice important measures by compromises. The Senate offers nothing desirable in these amendments except to make greenbacks receivable for custom. A separate bill for that single purpose, now in the bauds of my colleague (Mr. Southard), will pass the House to-day or tomorrow. Let the Senate pass that bill by itself, and not oiler us this "nubbin" as a condition of acquiescence in the gigantic wrong of forced resumption. The only other proposition in the Senate aRaeHd'mouts is a device of the Secretary of the Treasury to promote resump tion. That is the provision giving him , power te sell 4 per cent, bonds for green backs at his discretion. There are two methods by which he hopes to maintain resuRipUou. One in by hoarding coin to iMty the greenbacks as thoy are presented for redemption ; the other is to collect greenbacks from taxes or sales of bonds and withhold them from circulation, so as to make them scarce, and thus stop their How to tbo Tr asury for redemption. To the extent of all the surplus moneys in the Treasury, the green. Knit... an tAAlrjij1 atA attttl'flMl.lntnil lllf the Resumption Law to the usee of reHlllllllt iOD. ,,' an,.na.. Anita nni pmistniA tliA lhe bccictar) does not cousirue tue Ithcr destruction of greenbacks and re quiring their re-issue as at ill limiting the sweeping provision of the Resumption Law appropriating all surplus moneys to resumption purposes, as his telegram of to-dav to my friend from Kansas (Mr. Phillips) very plainly shows. That appropriation applies to proceeds of sales of bonds as well as to surplus revenues. As the law now Btands, he can onlv sell bonds for coin, give him the power to sell them for greenbacks also, and you enable him to take learal-tenders out of circulation and hoard them in tne Treasury witnout any limit, except the limit ol tne popular demand for Ihe bonds. The greenbacks uow in private vaults throughout the country, awaiting ft revival of business, would go largely into these bonds and h hoarded in the Treasury, to be paid nut again only when, in tne language or Mr. Sherman, "iney can oe mamiainea at lr with coin Hence, no matter how gteat the business demand for the re-issue of greenbacks hoarded by the

Secretary might become, the people

could only get them In circulation again when their re-issue, in his opinion, woulri not eiMAiisrer resumption. We have already increased our bond ed debt fl2O,O00,0M (o aid resumption. The Senate amendment gives the Secre tary new power and facilities to increase it indefinitely for that purpose, wo have already contracted our currency $75,000,000 for resumption. This amend ment idvcs him new power and facili ties to contract it. It is, therefore, only a dangerous and pernicious enlargement of the powers for mischief conferred on the Secretary by the Resumption Law. But there is still further objections to this amendment. If resumption shall break down, as T am thoroughly convinced it will, gold will inount'to n hiirh premium. I would not be surprised to see it go to 50 per cent, above par in greenbacks. Suppose it docs : then wo will be selling 4 pi't cent, coin bonds for greenbacks worth but sixty-six and twothirds cents on tho dollar in coin, thus repeating in ellcct the 5-20 bond swindle. If wo concur in tho amendment strik ing out all of our bill after the enacting clause, wo abandon our demand for the repeal of the resumption scheme. That demand was not made first by us, but by tne people ; aim whatever ciianges may have recently came over this House, the people still demand it more unmistakably and vehemently than over. The eight months during which this bill slept in the hostile hands of the Senate, have been the most calamitous ever endured by the American people. Their business is being ruined, their fortunes swept away, their very moans of subsistance stolen by the cunning deviltry of this scheme of resumption, a scheme which not one in ten of its intelligent promoters believes can result in pcrnm nent specie payments, and tlic only certain effect of which is the robbery of the many and the enrichment ol the few through an enormous decrease in the prices of the commodities and increase. in the purchasing power of money. Let us accept no sub-itiinto for the repeal of this most impracticable and destructive law. Let us stand for repeal until the Senate and tho President yield to the voice of tho people. Mr. Snrsaper's Kefrigcralor. A couple of weeks ago Mr. Samper told his wife one iiioru in r thai he had got about tired of buttering his bread with a spoon, ana so thai day he sent home a refrigerator. It was a beauty, and he felt proud of it, so much so that lie hud a good deal to say about it at tho atorc. "I HtiDPosu you have to nut ice in it. don't you?" aid one of the clerkf. "Certainly,' said Mr. S., "but then it takes very little. It's an improvement on all others ever made. Full of little boxes audpiH .;.s for all sorts of things. Keeps everything separate -mcnl, vegetables, milk, and o on, withoutauy mixiug up. It makes hot weather so mui-h more comfortable, Bob. to null up to the table and find everything uiue, cool and crisp, instead of limp, tour and slushy. We wouldii t be without it agdn for no money. I whh you d run in and look at it, iiob, tho ilrrtt time vouVo going hv. it s a curiosity, and 1 know you'll get one as soon us vou see it. Don't bother about ceremony ruu in an v time." Bob said he would. " About two o'clock, one morning last! week, Mr. Sarsaper was wakened out of tho slumber that always keeps company with an easy conscience, by his wife pokiuir him'iu the ribs, and 'callimr on him to huMle out and ee what tho matter was. The door-bell was jingling like all possessed. Mr. Bersapor crawled out of bed. and after banging his nose on tho door-post till the blood started, giving himself a black eye against the corner of the mantel, and falling down over pretty much everything in the room, ho finally made his way to tho front part of tho house, threw up i window and peered out into the wet and mui kv gloom. "Who's there?" ho demanded, looking down at the top of an umbrella. uMo!" came up in a thick voico from the under side of it. "Who's me?" "Bob." "Oh, it's you, Is it ? what's the matter,! Bob? Anybody sick?" "Oh, no. You see I've been out to Sedamsville with some of the boys to help institute a lodge, and I'm Just getting back. I happened to think about that refrigiator of yours as I was going by, and so I thought I'd stop in an see without ceremony, as you said. Come down and let me in. I'm in a hurrv to get home, and can't stop but a minute." Mr. Sarsaper said something that would bend the types double if we should undertake to print It7 and slammed down the window. H remarked to Bob the next day that for dowHiight freezing coolness his refrigerator was a bakeovu compared to the prank practiced on him. Breakfast Table.
