It strikes ' atf the very foundation of honest government It destroys all safegaards raised by the law aronnd +V><* nnKIio intiftwek A nnhlin snw WV r ? ~r tide of bribery ftjwmade in the New York Legislators a few days ago. The clerks of the two honses had reeeived free passes from the railroads roads of the State for the members, and as their names were called oat these lawmakers noblushiDgfy walked up to the clerk's desk and took the bribes. Its a misfortane that the people in every State haven't the courage to vote against every seeker after public office who will not pledge himself to accept no favors from corporations. The States all allow mileage, and it is simple dishonesty to accept it and free passes also. Th6 point is, howfever, that lawmakers should accept what the law gives them, but in every instance decline * , free passes from railroads. . * .. ?

Wise, who pulverized Boa telle, of-Maine. It seems that the late Jao. S. Wise has permanently retired from public life and notice. The Newark boys who were inoculated by Pasteur, in Paris, have obtained situations in a dime tnusenm 4 in New York, and thousands of people in that city are foolish enough to pay 10 cents to see them.

If his resignation of the Presidency would accomplish such an object, be woald resign to-morrow. Mrs. Bayard, the wife of the Secretary of State, died Sunday. She had been an invalid for some years, bat the immediate cause of her death was congestion of the brain, brought g?|^\ on by the shock of her daughters sadden death two weeks ago. Mrs. Bayard was a most estimable lady. The Secretary of State and his family will receive the earnest sympathy of all the people in their sad bereavement. The story is related through the prestf of a Connecticut infantry company in the late war which is claimed - to be without a parallel. The company it is said had no less than 12 pairs of brothers in its ranks. This county sent a company to the front with 25- Gnnters' in it, all more or less related, and every man was a "fiddler." They were members of Company I, 20th South Carolina Regiment Second Comptroller MajDard has been examining the accounts of the Signal Service and Weather Bareau of the War Department and has discovered hundred of thousands of dollars in unauthorized expenditures of that department while it was nnder charge of Gen. William B. Hagen. The investigation is not jet com*pleted and it is said fatore relatione will vastly increase the amoat so far discovered. Dr. D. E. Salmon in a paper read before the New York Health Association that the yearly losses in hogs in the West by cholera amounted to thirty million dollars. He farther stated that that the carcases of cholera hogs were sometimes left to pntrify, sometimes thrown into streams that famished drinking water to towns, and sometimes were tnrned into lard. We can imagine what becomes of the lard. We suppose we have eaten oar share of it. &The probability that Frank Hard the eminent free-trader, of the Toledo, Ohio, District will regain his seat in Congress which is now temporarily occupied by Bomeis through JRepablicaa fraud and bribery, seems j -} * . .? ( . to create almost as much consternation among the protection Democrats as it does among the Republicans who wish to snstaio the Ohio swindle. The Democratic protectionists, however, will hardly go to the extent of joining with the Republicans in order to keep Hurd out. President Cleveland said to a correspondent of the Boston Herald: "What I understand by civil service reform, as I am oarrying it out, is that the office-holders shall be divorced from polities while they fill their positions under this Govern' ment. That, rtrfe I have meant to stand by. I have tried to be true to my own pledges and the pledges of my party. We both promised to divorce the offices of the country ' from being used for party service. I have held to my promise, and I mean to bold to it." Too often parents regard children as burdens to be borne as lightly as possible. They forget that injustioe, harshness and neglect leave marks that are never erased. ,. Mistakes which parents make with regard to their children can hardly ever be remedied. If in the pursuit, or the gratification, of their appetites and. ambition, oarents leave their children unloved or uncared for, they cannot reasonably expect their children's love and care in their old age. Children need love and restraint, the gnidanee of strong hands and wise heads and surroundings that tend to lead them always toward that which is pare, good and elevatiDg. In their parents they should see virtnes, not faults, things to admire and imitate, not things to be shunned and ashamed of. Reunion Company P., 5th South ' Carolina Cavalry.

[From Our Regular Correspondent.! January 29 th, 1886. The United Stains Senate devoted a day, this week, to obitaary eloqaence in ihemory of the late Vice President Hendricks. The occasion drew a large crowd to the capitol. For the first time this session since the opening day, every seat in every gallery of the Chamber was occupied with the exceptions of the small gallery reserved for the Diplomatic Corps, and at every door and place of approach was gathered a group of spectators. On the floor of the Senate every Senator who was ?o the eity was in his seat, an attentive and respectfal listener. Settees and chairs were provided for Members of the House and other privileged and distinguished people who were entitled to the floor. Over both Houses of Congress the National colors floated at half mast; over the Senate for Mr. Hendricks, and over -the House for Representative Rankin, of Wis., who had died the day before. Both of the Ind. Senators, Harrison and Voorbees, paid glowing tributes to the dead statesman, that of Senator Vdorbees being especially striking and free from the trite forms of expression common on such occasions. Otber Republican Senators besides Harrison, among them Evarts, Sherman and Spooner testified to the uniform courtesy and integrity of Mr. Hendricks, and above all to bis devotion to the principles of his party. . Mr. Spooner being the new Senator from Wis., this faneral oration was his maiden effort in the Senate. He Baid Mr. Hendricks was heart and soul a Democrat, ^ who believed thoroughly in his party and in its principals. "He was no 'trimmer' in politics'7 continued ne, "ana inaeea, I'think if he might give direction to onr words to-day be wonld bid us to eay of him that he was a "partisan" Democrat. He rightly thought that politics should be a mater of conviction, and that every man of firm political faith owed it to himself and to his country to be a partisan to the extent of laboring earnestly in all honest ways to promote the principles in which he believes. Senator Yoorhees mentioned. that eloquence in the forum and in the sacred desk had paid its richest tributes to the exalted abilities and stainless character of the deceased. The tolling bell, the mournful dirge, the solemn minute gnn, the mighty multitude of moaners, had all attended the funeral of Thomas A. Hendricks, and had borne witness to the deep love and grief with which he was lowered to his' last Testing place. All the honors dae to the dead had been paidjby the Chief and by titer QDrestrained affection of: the people. "In the Senate however," said be, "we may not be silent, even though the cup of honor to his memory be overflowing. Here, on this brilliantly lighted stage, be fulfilled his last official engagement, and closed his commanding , pnblio career. . Vest, Ransom, Hampton - and Saulsbory were the other Democratic Senators who paid tributes to Mr. Hendricks. On Tuesday of next week the House of Representatives will devote itself to similar eulogies in his memory. Tho TTnnaA ndinnrniu? immndiatalv upon Ibe formal announcement of Representative Ranking death. This was, of coarse, the proper thing to do in the absence of any rale requiring different action. It ooald not have made an invidious distinction. Bat the country is indignant that Congress should waste time nnder every possible pretext, and it is high time for the adoption of some plan whereby respected may be shown for the memories of deceased Congressmen withont interrupting public business. Announcements of deaths, should be made at the close of a daily session, and either Sunday or evening sessions should be held for eulogies. A reform of this kind has been presented in the Hous^ and ' will come up soon for discussions. Representative Rankin came to Washington in a dying! condition. He had an intense desire to take his seat in Congress again and be sworn in with the rest of the members, saying he must accomplish this, if he died the next minute. On the opening day of the session, by a soper[ natural effort of the will, he dressed I and went to the Capitol, took the oath, and drew his seat, making while he did so, some reckless remarks about his approaching death. It was too severe a tax upon his strength, however, and he was taken to his home which he never left agaiD. He occupied rooms in a bonse adjoining tbe residence of Postmaster General Vilas. When negotiating for his winter qnarters here, the latid-Iady asked him if he wanted the rooms for tbe winter. "Yes," he replied, deliberately, "I will agree to keep them for the winter, or as long as I live; but rent stops the day I am bnried." D.
