A BILI is before Congress to provide for an international exhibition in New York, in 1883, the anniversary of the recognition of American independence. No action has yet been taken upon the matter.

MRS. CLEM, recently found guilty of perjury at Indianapolis, having been denied a new trial, was this week sentenced to imprisonment for four years in the Female Reformatory. She was allowed one week to settle up her business.

WITH reviving industry comes the news of strikes in various sections of the country. Doubtless many of them are ill timed and will bring no good either to the strikers or their employers. The rule of leaving well enough alone might perhaps be followed for awhile with advantage.

EMIGRANTS are arriving in this county at the rate of 33,000 a month. They hail from all the nations of Europe and come to see what they can do in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Those that are honost, sober, and industrious will doubtless never have cause to regret the choice they have made.

THK present activity in railroad building In this country is unprecedented. During the past seven months almost 3,000 miles of new road has been built, while more than 12,000 more are projected and under headway. The Inflated period of 1809, 1870 and 1871 did not

We may expect the fruits in, due time.

IN the ceremonies attending the observance of G'J-od Friday, in New York, an "oblate father" from London preached a sermon three hours long in one of the Catholic oburches, the sermon being timed as nearly as possible with the in cidents of Christ's agonies on the cross. This was the first observance of the ceremony in this country and it Is kept in only a few of the Catholic countries of Europe.

ACCORDING to Dr. Emil IIolub, relics of an extinct race of a much higher culture than now belongs to any native tribes have been found in the interior of South Africa. Among the remains are seen workings of ancient mines, some even of gold, and the ruins of rude for tlflcations. Those evidences remind tbe great traveler of tho African empire of Mouomatapa, as mapped on old Portuguese charts.

THK parliamentary elections now going on in Great Britain, after a short but exceedingly spirited canvass, show decided gains for tho Liberals, and the probabilities at this writing seem to be that Beaoonsfield will be defeated, and his great antogonist, Gladstone, returned to power. This result would be a surprise to the great Conservative leader, who felt quite confident that his appeal to the people would sustain the ministry. _______________

THK great Cunard steamship company owns a fleet of thirty steamships, which ply between Liverpool and New York, Boston, Havre, and ports on tbe Mediterranean. It has a paid up oapital of 10,000,000, and its property, over and above liabilities, is valued at that sum, with a reserve fund of half a wiliiou dollars. The average net profit* of the company during the past eleven years have been over eight per cent per annum on ttie capital employed.

THK constitutional amendments are to be votod on next Monday. The amendments are nine in number and several of them are of no small importance to the people of the State. Tbe one which provides for tbe registration ol voters, and requires a residence of sixty days in tbe township and thirty day* in tbe ward or precinct before anyone is entitled to vote at any election, Is in the interest of honest elections, and should meet tbe approval of honest men of all partis*. That which provides for changing tbe date of all generallelecCions from October to November, the time fixed for holding presidential elections, will, it passed, save tbe State about f100,000 every four years, fcby doing way with the necessity of holding a double'election In presidential jearr. Tbe amend* ment which limits municipal indebtedness to a maximum of two per cent, of tbe value of taxable property, also an

important one, and should not be al* lowed to fail. Indeed the amendments are all good and, it is to be hoped, will be made apart of the constitution of the State.

PROF. BENJAMIN PTBBCB says he is fully persuaded that the great comet seen in South America recently, and for which an anxious outlook has been kept ever since in this hemisphere, is the comet of 1843, once more visiting the sun. If this is so, and if tbe comet becomes visible here, the year 1880 stands a chance of being memorable In astronomical annals. The comet of 1843 was one of the most wonderful ever seen. Assuming that Prof. Pierce's computation of this comet's previous returns correct, it has bad an astonishing history. In 1106 it blazed with a brightness that was compared to that of the sun itself in 1402 it was so brilliant as to visible at noonday in 1454 it is said have eclipsed the moon in 1689 it spread terror among the Ignorant throughout the world, and in 1843 it gave aid anil comfort to the Millerites, and helped to alarm those who listened to their predictions of a speedy burning up of the world. If it should return this year with its accustomed style, it will confirm the faith of those who read in tbe hidden chambers of the great pyrami4 momentous prophecies for 1881. All tho visits of this comet, however, have not been equally brilliant.

SPRING.

With the coming of April we can usually look for some settled weather. The sun by this time has got pretty well up towards the north and its warm rays start the buds, and cause tbe grass to spring up fresh and green. Tbe days lengthen apace and one sits for an hour after supper without a light. Tbe morn ings are melodious with the singing of birds, for by this time nearly all of the summer songsters have put in an appearance. The robbin hops familiarly across the lawn, the blackbird in his 9hiny suit darts about with his old time agility, and the timid blue bird looks as gentle and delicate as ever. It is pleasant to greet these familiar friends of our childhood and to see the little enes as they watch their movements with childish interest and delight.

Thus the spring comes upon us like the birth of a new world. After the ice and snow and bleak winds of winter, in which all the processes of nature were at a stand still, the warm add genial atmosphere, tremulous with varied life, is productive of the most pleasureable sensations. We feel as if beginning life anew and are buoyant and elated.

It is pleasant to live in a climate like ours in which the changes of tbe seasons are so marked. It breaks the year into distinct periods and destroys much of its monotony. Each season in its turn rintrn a. orratAfnl chanae. Beautiful as spring and summer are, we grow tired of them and are not indisposed to see the shortening days and frosty nights which herald tbe advent of winter, for winter, too, has its comforts and its charms. Retiring from the beautiful world without, we make in our homes a beautliul world within, where hospitality knits the bonds of friendship round the glowing hearth, and young and old miugle in social intercourse and pleasant pastime.

Thus each season has its own peculiar charm and is a source of every fresh enjoyment, but of all the seasons none is more grateful and inspiring than that upon whioh we are now just entering.

THE RE WARDS OF PA TIENCE. "How poor are they that have not patience," Iago says to Roderigo, in accounting to tho duped Venetian for the slow progress of the work in which they were embarked. There is a world of philosophy and human experience in this small sentence. A lack of patience has been tbe wreok of many a life. To leara to labor Is easy, to learn to wait— that is the hard thing. The natural impetuosity of our natures chafes under delay. We want to get on, and get on at once. We want to win ear place in life as Napoleon did Italy, by bursting like an avalanche down the Alps. Some victories are won so, but not many. The most of life's prizes are claimed by men of patient perseverance. They settle down to their work in life with a firm purposo to survive or perish with ., and it is otten only after years of discouragement and self denial that a gleam ot success rewards them. Pro* lessional life in particular Is full of eminent examples of the rewards of patience. Lord Eldon after having been admitted to the bar, hung about tbe courts for along time without employment. He agreed with his wife that what he got during the first eleven months should be bis, and what he got in the twelfth month should be hers. The result was that his "Bessy" got nine shillings that year, while he got not a penny. Yet afterwards bis income rose to $50,000 and 160,000 a year. After Lord Camden had traveled the circuit for ten or twelve years without success he made up his mind to try one circuit more and in case that failed to retire from the profession. But after that circuit be bad no need to retire. The experiences of* Lord El^enborough, Lord Campbell and Lord Mansfield were not dissimilar. Tbe famous Chitiy most have known too what it was to wait, for when consulted by a father as to placing hia son at the bar, be propounded the startling inquiry, "Can your son eat sawdust without butter?"

Nor Is tbe nsoswtty of waiting confined to the legal profession by any means. The Daks of Wellington—Iron man though he wis despaired at last of advancement In the army, and actually

"FTAUTiC

applied for a commissienship of customs in Ireland. But fate decreed it otherwise.

Men of genius have famished signal illustrations of sublime patlenoe. When bis dog upset a lighted taper and destroyed all the laborious calculations of years for Sir Isaac Newton, tbe great philosopher, without even a word of anger, at once set about reproducing them. When Carlyle had finished the first volume of bis French Republic he lent the manuscript to a friend for perusal, who carelessly left it on the floor, and the maid, thinking it a bundle of waste paper, used it to ligbt tbe fires with. Without wasting time in complaining the author resolutely began the reproduction of it from memory. When Audubon, the naturalist, bad toiled for years to get accurate drawings of American birds, he was dismayed to find that rats had destroyed the drawings of more than a thousand birds. Taking bis gun and notebooks he plunged into the woods again and in due time re-accomplished his self imposed task.

Great are the rewards of patience in every calling of life. Men are trusted because they have spent a long while in their professions. People judge, and not without reason, that much time is required to master the intricacies of any business, and they have a natural distrust of those who are "new bands" at it. They have a saying in London that men are well psid for the ability to sit in chairs until they are forty years old and upwards. London Is not exceptional in this respect. It is tbe rule of the world.

THE BETTER WORLD.

CHURCHE3, PASTORS AND PEOPLE.

There are but 20,000 Protestant church members In St. Louis. ./-J Bob Ingersol claims to have made $45,000 the past season by lecturing. Many a man has gone to for a less amount than that.

During a revival season in Pennsylvania, a colored sister got down on her knees, waved her hands in the air and shouted, "Comedown, oh, spirit of the Mabster come down, oh, good Lord, come right down thru de roof, an' I'll pay fur de shingles!"

Some of the members of the Canada Methodist church at Maitland, on the St. Lawrence, the other day got up a dramatic entertainment. The pastor entered the church building and seizing hold of a clothes horse that was being used as a part of the scenery, undertook to pull the horse off its feet. This was the signal for the trustees to interpose on tbe part of the young people. The preacher said bis church should not be converted into a theater, and the squabble waxed warm. The preacher finallv .won the baUlaJ^^^naaitied in possession. "T

A London letter spys it is seldom that one hears tbe scriptures decently read in a London pulpit, or hymns, or anything else and the samo is true of the delivery of written sermons, There are a few exceptions. Mr, Spurgeon is a notable exception, the bishop of London is anoth er. But the mass of preachers read with a miserable drawl, an eternal "monotone. They never can close a sentence with tbe falling inflection they do not so much use the rising inflection, but they end every sentence on a horizontal plane—the end of it sticking right out straight behind, just as some animals carry their tails when running in a fright. I have often wondered whether elocution was ever taught in England. If it is, tbe clergy must give it a wide berth.

During religious servics in the jail at Carson Nevada, and after a clergyman had addressed the prisoners on the text, "Honesty is the best policy," a thief named Jones asked if he could make a few remarks. Permission being given, he said "The expression that honesty is the best policy was first thrown out on a thieving world by Ben Franklin, an old humbug. I don't agree with Ben Franklin that honesty should be a policy dodge. If a man's honest, he's honest anyhow and if he just simply keeps correct from policy he's a bad egg at heart and only waiting to get the confidence of the community and rob them of thousands. A man who Is honest from policy would steal if he had the nerve and the chance. We fellows here had too much nerve and we're too candid to conceal our real characters."

Some of tbe Methodists of Philadelphia are making strong objections in Conference to tbe practice of transfering high priced preachers from one Conference to another, instead of giving the lower priced brethren a chance at tbe best churches and tbe largest salaries. Ministers who would like to be advanced are much discouraged by finding that when tbey reach a certain degree of success in ecclesiastical growth, their further progress is blocked by tbe coming from other Conferences of men who have achieved greater reputation, and who command larger salaries. Urgent objection is made to tbe present practice, which really labels ministers at a certain price, and disposes of tbem in tbe churches which are able to pay tbe appraised value in salary.

The ladies of a very fashionable church recently gave a semi-dramatic entertainment, a large part of whioh consisted of costumes and posturing much more after tbe manner of the theatres of tbe prayer meeting. At tbe dose of tbe semi-dramatic put, dancing is to occupy tbe attention of tbe congregation. Tbe managers had arranged to switch off into something else In esse the new pastor should object to dancing.

SATUKDAY EVELNING MAIL,

They had provided musicians, but was with the understanding that, in esse of pastoral objection, the dance should be peacefully and quietly shelved. To the great relief of all concerned, the pastor said be had no objections whatever, and the tripping of the light fantastic toe went on with vigor, and continued till very late in the evening. One of the elders remarked that to object to dancing, after such a dramatio exhibition as had been witnessed, would be to strain at a gnat and swallow a whole menagerie of large sized camels,

THE MISSING RHYMES. This is one of tbe most remarkable poems in the English language—remarkable for its peculiar rhythm and puzzle, and depth of study—and we would like to tee if any of our readers can solve it or, in other words, put tbe missing rhymes to it, according to the rules laid down, which are as follows: 1st. The rhyming word most have a meaning in keeping with tbe context, line and verse. 2d. After tbe missing word of the first lines is found, tbe missing word of the second line must be exactly the same, with the exception of having only one letter prefixed to it and the missing word of the third line must be exactly the same as the second, with just one letter more prefixed to it, and all these must be English words, in unison with the whole poem.

To give a clear idea of what is meant, we will insert tbo missing rhymes the first stanza: —AFT. -RAFT,

The captain strode from fore to As lordly on his simple As though it were some noble—CRAFT,

Now it will be observed that these rhymes make good sense with what produces tbem and that the second is made from the first by prefixing one letter and the third from the second by prefixing one more letter and all three rhyme and give sense to the whole stanza, which otherwise would be simply nonsense. The first rhyming word is aft the second is also aft, with only the prefix of the letter R, which makes tbe word raft and the third is raft, with only another prefix of the letter C, whioh makes it craft. And so it goes on down through the whole poem, which is richly worth the study of old and young, the preoeptor and his people, as ingeniously showing of what wonderful combinations our language is capable.

That no one may get disoouraged, and think the solution impossible, we will state here that every one of the missing rhymes can be found in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and that at no distant day we will print the poem in its entirety, and probably the names of those who may have sent us the correct answer meantime,

To give our readers a good, fair start, we will here insert the rhymes of the second ve'rse:

Then changing tone from blunt to ELAND Now, readers, let us see how many of you can fill out the whole poem of

TIMID PEOPLE.

Tho New York Herald, in a vein of philosophy far more advanced than any of its accomplished scholars bad heretofore given evidence of reaching, speaks as follows: "There is a class of timid people who are afraid of store clerks, and who hardly dare to go away without buying something. Tbey tremble at tbe sight or a waiter and fee him, and patiently take what he places before tbem, never grumbling. Tbey reverence a conductor or a brakeman as if he were a prime minister, and are filled with glory if he only does not put them off tbe car. They always take the poorest seats for fear that people may think they are selfish: and if a snowball bits them in tbe bead tbey torn and smile a vote of thanks to tbe hoodlum who threw it. Tbey are not Uriah Heeps, but modest, unworldly, good hearted people, who admire tbe saucy, practical ones. But away down in their hearts is spirit of Wild Bill, and once in a while, when too much imposed upon, tbey rise up and spill things."

This philosophy carries such an evidence of plain good sense with it that It will impress itself promptly upon all tbe timid people to whom it refers.

DR UN KEN NESS INCREASING. John B. (lough. Drunkenness in this country, in the Isst twenty-five years, has increased, and Is worse than ft was thirty-six yean ago. There are more ministers drinking, more women drinking than ever before. Twenty-five years ago you would sever see a woman drinking on tbe cars, bat now yon can see it every day. and that, too, oat of flasks. The can in these days are made regular grogbuueos.

FAREWELL TO FIFTEEN. Philadelphia Star. The game of fifteen has lost its chsrm. The scores of venders of the blocks that crowded Chestnut and other streets have disappeared, and people who for weeks devoted their brains and time to attempts at solving the puzzle have laid it aside. It would be interesting to know how many sets of the blocks have been made and sold. The number must be immense, and the fact that the seemingly insatiate demand for tbem was promptly met, goes to prove how capable we Americans aro of meeting almost any emergency, especially in tbe manufacturing line. 4

ABOTJT THE SIZE OF IT. Boston Herald Senator Voorhees had bettor lock his exodus investigation shop, put up tbe shutters and quit the business. Between the witnesses wh® see nothing but whole-souled liberality in southern planters, and the other kind of evidence givers, who see nothing but good in tbe blacks and naught but bad in tbe whites, there is but little hope of getting at the truth. The negro exodus is in part a labor strike, in part a revolt against political tyranny, and in no small measure tbe result of a delusion on the part of giddy-headed negroes who would ship feranew crusade if somebody would furnish transportation to Palestine.

A FUNNY SCENE, Washington Letter.

Quite a funny scene occurred in the Senate tbe other afternobn. A comio paper in New York, Puck, has printed a cartoon with Presidential candidates' faces upon tbe blocks of the infernal game of fifteen. Grant's face is upon tbe fifteen block before Blaine, the fourteen block. Senator Conkling is represented as nearly wild, trying to get Blaine, fourteen, out of the way of Grant, fifteen. Thurman first baa the cartoon, and the Democrats so crowded around him that it stopped the regular proceedings. Then Mr. Hereford carried the cartoon over to Blaine, who looked at it long and earnestly, as if he were really trying to solve the puzzle, while Republican Senators crowded about. Finally Blaine looked up with a laugh, and passed the sketch to Hereford, and he oarried it to David Davis. He was pnzzling over it when Conkling come in. He saw Senator Davis very intent over the picture, and went ana looked over bis shoulder. Tbe whole Senate was now watching Colkling. He started when he saw the satire, and turned abruptly away, walking rapidly back to his seat without a word.

PADDED ALL OVER.

The introduction of pads for the cure of diseasas has demoralized society. They have got pads for almost every disease, and when a person who is much aflioted with various disorders gets his pads on, his best friends don't know him. Tbe other day we saw a mountain of flesh going into the tbe chamber of commerce, as we were coming out. We had to open both doors and stand to one side to let him go in. As he passed, his voice sounded away down inside of him as .be said, "Thank you, George." Not recognizing him, we followed him inside and as he leaned against a table we ask ed him who be was, and found that he was an intimate friend who had been sick a good deal, and he told us how it was. Placing his hand on the place where bis liver ought to be he said, "I have a liver pad on here." It was as big as a cow's liver, and was evidently filled with sawdust and drugs. Then he pointed to his stomach, add said that organ had been out of condition for some time, and he put on a stomach pad. On his lungs, both behind and before, he had pads he had a kidney pad on, and around bis neck was a throat pad. Whether he had a bowel pad, and a spine pad, and a gizzard pad, and pads for all the places that are liable in this climate to have something ail tbom, or not, we did not inquire, but lie looked as though be weighed four hundred pounds, and his cough came from the depths of the pads in a sepulchral manner. A man was nearly frightened to death tbe otber day, on going home, to find that his wife was about twice as large as usual, and be aaked her for heaven's sake to put on some liniment or something to take the swelling down. He was afraid she would bust, but she explained everything satisfactorily. There is danger in the pad. Tbe science of pads is yet in its infancy, and people are liable to overdo It. One may put on tbe pads that are advertised, and the different drugs may not work harmoniously. They may clash, as it were, and make trouble. Besides, the devices for holding the pad is liable to drop off at any moment. No lady would feel pleasant to go into a store and have a pad drop offTand roll over on the floor, and see tbe floor walker pick it up and read on the pad, "Knight's Kidney Pad," or "Brown's Lung Pad," or "This Pad is a regular Liver Searcher." No, people cannct be too careful about tbeir pads. It is tbe best way to hire a hand to wear these pads.—Peck's Sun.

IT can almost be asserted that St.'Jacobs Oil works wonders. Shortly before the New Year, when 1 visited my family in Mitchell, I found my son Edward, a lad little more than ten years old, very Bick. He suffered with rheumatism, and so terribly that bo was perfectly stiff in bis limbs, could not possibly walk, and bad to be carried from place to place. At once I sent for some St. Jacobs Oil, used it according to directions, and in a few days conld we evidence of considerable improvement. On the tenth of this month I again visited my family and was astonished to find bim well and hearty. Ho once more bas fresh color in bis face and can go to school again. Whenever the old trouble threatens to return, relief is immediately secured by tbe use of tbe celebrated St. Jacobs Oil. From sheer joy over this result I cannot withhold recommending St. Jacobs Oil to suffering humsnity as a true benefactor. CHAH. MKTZDORF,

A MEAN TRICK. This Morning's Express.

Yesterday morning, at a little after 3 o'clock, an Express reporter, on his way home, was stopped in front of Cal. Thomas' jewelry store, on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, by a clerk in the establishment by the name of Albert Breiman. He was so frightened that he could scarcely talk, but he said that there were bnrglars were trying to get into the store, and had broken the large plate glass window in the front part of the store. Thi latter statement was found to be correct, and upon investigation it was found that the large plates at the stores of Owen,Pixley & Co. and James Hunter had also been broken. Officers Houseman and Kuntz are stationed on this beat, but had gone down Main street to see if they could render any assistance in bringing over the body of Mrs. Otterman. They were on duty, however, as the reporter saw then} a very few moments after the aifair occurred. It is nothing more than fair that this statement should be made.

As soon as the broken glass was discovered the passers-by began a general siege of inquiry, and James Hunter becoming tired of answering questions, beran issuing bulletins every few minute) as ollowp:

It happened at 3:20 a.m. The police ate "onto" it. The stone is inside the window. Nine shirts taken (all new). Don't know what it was done for. Yes I do pay a special policeman. Supposed to have been standing in the street about lour feet two inches from sidewalk.

Think they took the shirts out wit! their feet. Yes it is considered a neat job. 4

No glass is not insured, LATER. No arrests made. Two other windows broken. They are supposed to have run within an hour afterjthe (tone was thrown.

Some curbstone statesmen say it is a po litical scheme. Yes, it is h—1.

One shirt has been recovered. LATEST. One more shirt has been arrested s£ 15 not much damaged.

There were three young men arrestee' yesterday on suspicion of having com mitted the cowardly offense. They arf all the sons of well resected parents ai had been seen in the neighborhood of tine places at about the hours the breakin was done. Two of the boys were Been $, the I. & St. L. depot yesterday morning by Officer Kenirk, who approached them but as they saw the policeman they rav rapidly west on the railroad and werchased" out on the track over a mile to tl trestle work near Macksville. This is»*. circumstance that goes to prove the} guilt, but the Express refrains from givii^ their names until the facts are all full} established
