Are there any, and what poacefi remedies, to prevent such usurpations o the part of Congress, and to preservi protect, and defend the Constitution ( the United States? ? ? Let us lot Forget our Economic Trainings The present is a time of peculiar tri;i to our Southern people, both political!, and financially. As to our political tria enough lias alteady been said. But th political madness which rules the hour i ulso hurtful to thc financial interests o the South. We, in common with th whole people of the United States, ar Bullering (rom the prostration of tradi and business. The northern people, how ever, are rich enough to bear this evi much better th.?ii we are. And, further more, the great interest of the South be ing mainly agricultura!, the emancipador of the negroes, and the consequent de rangement of labor, have well nigh de stroyed our lately rising hope of financial recuperation. Tbe consequence is that there is much despondency throughout the country in reference to our material prosperity in the future. But we must not succumb to such de pressing influences. We must u learn lo labor and to wai'.' Our material pros perity is only a question of time. No such country as ours, with such vast wealth only awaiting development, can long re main depressed. Capital and population are certain to flow into ititi immense vol umes. Our present plans and efforts may not bc as successful as we desired and expected. But the native wealth of the country will inevitably attract to it the means and the facilities of its devel opment, and all difficulties growing out of the present interregnum will be ob viated. The two duties now most incumbent upon all the Southern people are hard la bor, and economical living. These les sons we learned during the war. Let us not forget them now when they are as much needed as ever before, and even more. Let them be ?mprint?>d upon ev ery heart, and faithfully adhered to, and we shall ultimately become a prosperous and happy veople. Let us " bide our time" with a magnificent courage.-Hous ton Telegraph. A specimen of thc water dog about eighteen inches long was recently taken from a water pipe in Cincinnati. This ugly variety of the crocodile form and features, having the wrinkled skin and four short webbed feet, with five toes be hind and four in front, hr.s cost thc city of Cincinnati some *i)0i). The pipes in the locality where it was found have again been stopped up, and broken in vain, un til they succeeded in gutting out two ot the quadrupedal fishes. The superinten dent of the waterworks saya that the fishes, that quite abundantly swim in the thousands of feet cf water-pipes under the eley, are uecessarially small when they first enter the darkened drains, as tlie strainers will ody allow small ones to pass, but that they grow and increase quite rapidly is au alarming fact, which will ultimately cost the city thousands ol dollars to get rid of. -? ? ? The Freedmen's Bureau. The New York Sun gives the following sorrowful paragraph, touching that expen sive luxury, the Freedmen's Bureau : * * "The AssistanfCommissionerof the Freedmen's Bureau, in the Depart nic-nc of North Carolina, reports great destitution and suffering among the negroes of t hat State. The work of educatien, how ever, is highly prosperous, the number of freedmen's schools having been increased tollS. The policy of spending money in building schools and leaching the al phabet to little darkies is well enough in its place, but it seems to us that the more pressing necessity is for something to keep the freedmen from starving and freezing. Radical philanthropy is always applied to the sufferer's head, when in fact it would generally be more serviceable if applied to the stomach, lt is bread, not books, that the negroes are most in need of. Let the means of educutiou be given to them at the proper time, but in their present condition thc chief requirement | Lt employ mant and the means of obtain ing corn bread for their stomachs, and brogans for their feet. The radicals ought to abandon thc idea of " elevating'' the moral and intellectual condition of the negroes until the latter sliall have attain ed a position in which they can be sure of enough to eat. Thc idea that educa tion is a sovereign remedy for all the ills t ? which darkey flesh is heir to, is one of the most absurd thing3 of this age of ab surdities." ------ ? ? PAT AND DKACOX.-A few months ago. as Deacon Ingalls, of Swampscot, R> I., j was travelling through the western part .if the State of New York, he fell in with ::n Irishman, who had lately arrived in chis country, and was in search nf a broth-1 er who had come before him, and settled ni some of the diggings in that part of the country. Pat was a strong man, a true Roman Catholic, and h:td never seen the interior of a Protestant church. It was a pleasant Sunday morning that brother Iugalls met Pat, wiio inquired the road to the nearest church. Ingalls was a pious man. lie told Pat l.e was going to church, and invited his new made friend to keep him company thither, his destination being a small Methodist meeting-house near by. There was a great revival there nt that time, and one of the deacons, who was a very small man in stature, invited Brother In galls to take a seat in his pew. He ac cepted the invitation, followed by Pat, who looked in .vain to find the altar, etc. After he was seated he turned round to Brother Ingalls, and in a whisper that could bc heard all round, inquired, u Sure, and isn't this a heretic church ?" " Hush !" said ingalls ; " if you speak a word they will put you out." " Divil a word will I speak at all," re plied Pat. The meeting was opened by prayer by thc pastor. Pat was eyeing him very closely, when an old gentleman, who was* standing in the pew directly in front of Pat, shouted 11 Glory !" '; Hist, ye devil " rejoined he, with his loud whisper, which was heard by the miniktir, M be dacent, and don't make a blockhead of yourself." The parson grew more fervent in his devotions. Presenty the deacon uttered an audible groan. " Hist, ye blackguard ! have ye no de cency at all?" said Pat, at the same time giving him a punch in the ribs, which caus ed him to lose his equilibrium. The minister stopped, and extend ing his hand in a suppliant manner, said,- . " Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this way. Will some one put that man out?" "Yes, your riverince," shouted Pat " I will !" and suiting the action to the word, he collared the deacon, and to the utter horror of the pastor, Brother In galls, and the whole congregation, he dragged him up the ai.?le, and with a tre mendous kick sent him into the vestibule of the church. A FEELING SON.-A minister in Iowa was recently called upon, by a man whom we will call Mr. A-, to attend tlie fu neral of his father, and after short conver sation concerning the deceased, Mr. A -asked the minister how much he would charge for his services. " Oh," said the minister, "I never make a charge for attending a funeral ; but J sometimes receive a present of more or less value." " I wish to pay my way," said the man ; " I have but little money ; but if you will take anything that grows on my farm-would'nt you like some sweet po tatoes ?" '. Certainly," said the minister, " some sweet potatoes would be as acceptable as the money." " All right." The following day the minister went to the funeral. After the usual services, and after the congregation had looked for the last time upon the deceased, Mr. A -stepped forward, and turned down the coffin lid, and began to screw it fast, saying : " lt's pretty hard, pretty ?turd; the harJost thing I ever did ; but it's the last thing I can do for father, and I won't ask any one to do it for me." in due time the procession moved to thc grave, and the coffin was lowered. When the grave was perhaps a third fill ed, and while thc '.datives and friends were standing around, Mr. A-left the side of his wife, advanced to. the min ister, and putting his hand in his pocket, said : " I have the money to-day, and if you'd rather have it than the potatoes, I can pay you just ns well as not." ( "Never mind," said the minister, in a low tone, "itwill be all right. Don't s?y anything about it now." The man then stepped back beside thc minister and sjood looking into the grave for some moments ; then drawing a deep breath, as if realizing the depth of his af fection, he said in a sad tone : " I have lost tho best friend I ever had ; he never licked me but once!" A few days afterwards thc minister re ceived two bushels of sweet potnlocs. Administrator's Notice. ALL Persons having demands against the Es tate of JAMES ll.
