A homo ibat one dark night
Tuellas vmtare,
And rnansit there so very late,
That ilium constant care.
Purr, walking 1 y te house,
S.iw caput in tenestra,
Et sunt morati far a while
To see qui erat in tbore.
Soon, caput turned its nasam round,
In visu pucrorum ;
Affno?eunt there the pedajrogue,
Oh! maximum pudorum!
Processus pucr to the door
Cum magna quiet&te,
Et turned the key to lock him in,
Maratus erat sate.
Then pedagogue rose to go,
Est feeling hunky dore;
Ille non potest to get out.
The key's outside the fore.
Ascendit sweet-heart nunc the stairs,
Cum festinnto pede,
Et roused paellas from their sleep,
Sed, habentnot tbedoorkey.
Then, exeitat domino,
By her tumultuous voice,
Insanns currit to the door, ' '
Et obvenit the lady.
"Furentcm place !" the master roared,
'Why spoil you thus my somnum ?
Exite from the other door,
Si rogues have locked the front one !"
Puella trisf is bung her bead,
And took her lover's manum,
Et cito from the other door
RisMsaput est irnpulsum.
Cum magno gradu redit home
Retrorsmm nunquam peeping,
Et never au?us est again,
Vexare people's sleeping.
i Advertising Gazette.
The Career of IJarlltigame.
The Boston Advertiser thus speaks
of the late Chinese Minister :
History furnishes no parallel to the
experience of Burlingame during ths
last decade, and we shall have to turn
to the Arabian Nights to match it.
Writers on the possibilities open to
American ambition have often cited
the appearance of Franklin in his plain
suit, serene in his simplicity, at thc
glittering court of Versailles.. But
there was nothing in the history of
that shrewd, lucky Boston boy of the
last century to compare in romance and
bizarre splendor with the cool, easy,
8elf.poised youtig man of our own day, j
who, losing his seat in Congrcssjby the j
vote of our North End wards, present
ly found himself the representative of
the oldest and greatest of nations, ac-1
credited to the courts of the world,
traveling in avRtyleV'of imperial mag
nificence .through " Europe, receiving
the courtesy of kings and emperors,
poping with the wiliest of ve'eran di
plomats, and speaking for the first time
for cores of centuries of silence' the
voice of ChiDa. Perhaps there Was
no man living whose death could havp
In .its possibla consequences' a graver
influence 60 the dett'my of millions of
men.
The Gypsies in the Hop Garden, at
Pestb, have a curious way of looking
after the honesty of their money col
lector. The person intrusted with tho
mission of taking the hat around
, among the crowd has a living fly put
in his left hand, while he nolds the hat
with bis right. When he returns with
the funds, he must bring back the fly
alive, -os a sign that he has not taken
any money from the common property j
but if the fly be wanting, or even dead,
he does not get hig share of the money.
. One of the New York "railroad riog"
eavs that although his father would not
tell a lie for a shilling, he would not
hesitate to tell eight for a dollar.
Repudiation Is ts, Read This.
We copy below an article from the
Philadelphia Day on the financial sit
uation, which we commend to the at'
tcntion of the advocates of repudiation.
It says :
"With the steady decline of gold, and
more or less influencing it, ; beyond
question, comes the gratifying- intelli
gence that .our exports during the last
six wonuis very neany- Daiancea ine
imports during thf same period.- rIhi
ncany puis ine Daaance oi traae in our
favor, a condition rHgrable to financial
health and stability in values. It also
leads to the inference that our varied
industry is thriving, in spite of adverse
circumstances; and it goes to prove
that while Senators and Representa
tives have been devising methods to
correct what appears to be financial dis
temper, the laws of trade have been
quietly operating to restore equilibrium

tinn bv instructing its nublic men. Not

many of them appear to be aware that
some things wut be left to the opera
tion ( of natural laws. The lesson is
watchful patience. It is by no means
certain that the laws of trade, acting
in harmony with the irrepressible en
terprise of the American people, would
not furnish a solution of the financial
problem in the shortest time cousktent
witn safety it gold nas toucueu a

time since midsummer of 1802, can the

Prominent among these causes may
be considered the repudiation ,of all
measures looking toward repudiation as
a means of cancelling the public debt.
Every attempt to rally a party ; around
tlio st.nmlarfl tif Tirnnrlintinn fine ir-
nallv failed; and Mr, 31 ungen's speech
in its favor has nowhere met with bit-
tcrer denunciation than at the hands of
leading journal ot the party to which
he belongs. The clapior for an act of
national dishonor has been confined to
a lew destructives wno aspire to tnc
leadership of the ignorant. and preju-
diced among electors, with an eye to
local political preferment. It is in-
structive to note the. mode ot paying

Thc creditors of the nation have not
failed to observe the shaping of public
opinion with a calmly critical eye
There is no lonjrer any suspense rclat
ing to (he payment of the de'bt: Capi
tal, thus relieved, puts off its hesitancy,
and embarks freely into the work of
production. Not so many thousands
are wasted in "margins" by Wall St.
operators as formerly, and the release
of those thousands may have something
to do with the convalescence of an al-
most distracted industry. At the same
time we are, according to the showing
of statisticians, paying our debts and
somethins over, and are likely the score
a balance due as by foreign consumers.
Among individuals this state of affairs
would be regarded as financial prosper
ity. As a nation is an aggregation of
individuals, why should not the same
rule apply f i
We congratulate the country upon
the gradual approximation of values

clegrapliic Summary.
hicago, April 22. -The talk
among the leading members of the
House orr the Georgia bill shows pretty
much that everybody is "at sea" on
the ibilir There was a strong disposU
tion yesterday to take the Senate bill
as i stands now, for the reason that it
is believed not satisfactory to some of
the Senators who gave it their votes,
No Loe can predict in what form it will
co the President.
Qhe. opponents of the treaty with
San
Domingo think the matter is losing
ground with the country .the more it is
discussed: but they are equally sensi
ble or the fact that the appliances that
aro brought to bear upon individual
Scuators are not without effect.

Washington Arril 22.- The Sen-
ate (Judiciary Committee was engaged
in the preparation of a bill to enforce

such progress that it is expected that a

The withdrawal of the lcsral tender

had been reversed in the manner fore
shadowed, there pould have been a for
midable political movement started to
reverse the recond decision by the ad

continent they rave about them. Half
a dozen American belles.send a whole
German town distracted. It is not only
beauty and grace, but their wit, spirit,
and audacity. The ontiuc tal customs
favor their triumphs. No girl over
there dares to fay her soul is her own
-let alone her body, fehe never goes
anywhere without a chaperone ; she
never converses with a gentleman cx
cept to answer a question ; she is of
necessity insipid to the last degree. An

her freedom, goes where she likes, talks
with every one she cares to talk with.

The Gold Hill News says:

thelowest whero it strikes the Carson
river, a short distance from the Vivian

down grade of 11G feet to the'mile, so
that running down that 10 miles, thc
locomotive use to stean power, the
trains being propelled by their own
gravity alone,,; regulated and controlled
1 . m a
simply by the brakes, inus a car
turned loose at Virginia, would run at
a lively rate of speed clear through to
Carson river, unless it ruu off the track
somewhere," or encountered some ob
stacle in its way. At the point wo
speak of. near Vivian mVU, the track is
almost on a level with thc river bed
and from there up through Empire
and across to Carson City, tho enci
neers have to put on steam. Very few
railroads in the United States have so
steep a down grade for the length of it
as that sixteen-mile section posesses.
Don't depend upon your own lungs
alone : use the lungs of the Press.
Don't depend alone upon your own
