Your people will I pick -it up and attempt to use it; but having cost them nothing they will not know how to appreciate it. At the first great internal feud that you have the majority will trample on it, and the peo? ple will pormit it to be done, and so will go your liberty 1" - 1 1 In view of the Ku Klux aud bayonet election bills, it would seem as if these omin?os anticipations had boen literally verified.

The shape and attitude of tho eagle of North Germany, to be portrayed on the imperial arms, have boen the subject of brisk disoussnion of late. By the Fede? ral Council it has. been finally deter? mined that the North German eagle j shall henceforth have bot one head, whioh appendage shall look to the right, und have above it in a glory the imperial crown. On the breast is to appear a shield, and on that shield the FroBsian I eagle, each wing with B?X broad and five narrow feathers; and, finally, the claws aro to be all jlaok, the red talon? of the old device to be henceforth discarded, und tho tail is to appear in "Innaldin de? lineation," whioh the New York World understands to be a technical way of ex? pressing that it ie to bo puffed out fun shape, after the similitude of a turkey ; gobbler in the first flush of love. The feet.of the bird, wo must add, are not to hereafter grasp anything. A foreign correspondent, writing from Berlin, gives somo interesting particulars of present affairs in the Empire. Emi? gration from Germany to America, whioh it was supposed would cease with I a "regenerated Germany," is rather on I the increase. Tho conquerors, not con? tent with the Bpoi ls of war, aro engaged in demonstrating that they have gained by it 60,000 laborers, altbongh they ac? knowledge a lose of 42,000. This arith 1 metio is based on a calculation of the number who would have emigrated if there had been no war, the number ex? pelled from France, Seo. According to this logio, Germany would have been still better off if all the laborers had ' been killed. The Government', Jar from reducing, is studiously increasing the army, it is intended manifestly that the German army shall bo the most formi? dable that the world has ever'seen. The line will comprise from 150 to 1G0 regi? ments of infantry, of three battalions each, eighteen battalions of rifles, 100 regiments of cavalry and eighteen brig? ades of artillery. Eaoh battalion holds 1,000 men. Then there- are SB many regiments 'of landwher to correspond. These forcee ore ail to be drilled in the various arts of war, not excluding tho railway service and' mechanical fikilL The navy is to bo also strengthened as fast as circumstances will permit, and tho works.at Wilhelmauaveu aro hoing employed in building additional iron ! duds.

By way of doing so, he sot np a stout fence rail be? tween his landlord's distended jaws and went ?way. Returning about midnight, he took off bin boots outside, 60 us not to awaken his friend, entered softly, knocked away the prop, and prepared to turn iu. Buttha uoise of pounding on the rail had aroused the householder, and BO gloat was the fouling of relief induced by the relaxation of tho maxillary mus? cles, that ho unconsciously shut his mouth to smile, without giving his ten? nant time to got iuto bod.. The doctor was juBt stooping to nntie bis drawers, When he was caught between the floor and. ceiling of the.reception room, like a [lemon ia a squeezer.

None of the dootor's maps or instruments were recovered; his bereaved landlord holds them as security for certain rents claimed to bo duo and unpaid. It is pro? bable that Great Britain will make a formal demand for them, and if tboy uro not surrendered-will submit her claims to a conference. A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL AND Hen BRAVE RESCCBR.-A few mornings since, "little Ettie," a bright-eyed, curly-headed five year old, belonging tq^Mr. and Mrs. Por vislt, living on Main street, just South of Thomas & Parry's livery stable, took a plunge bath chat came ni ar resulting fatuity. There is a deep well on tho place, holding some fourteen feet of water. It has no curb, und water is drawn by means of a rope. "Ettie" hud been watching Mr. Thomas drawing water from the well in a bucket, which-1 she called a "kettle." Tho rope broke, and the "kettle" went to the bottom. This troubled tho little ono, and after? ward, iq peering into the well, looking for the kettle, ehe lost her balanco, and plunged head first into the welL Her, mother heard her scream as she toppled over, ran into the yard, and happening, by the merest chance, to glance into the well, saw "Effie" as she came to the sur? face the first time. . Powerloss herself, she ran to the livery stable, shouting at every step, "Effie's in the well, Effie's iu the well." Mr. Thomas was at tho well in no time, and, without & momeut's thought aa to how be waa going to get out, plunged iu, bracing himself as best he could against the smooth walls as he weut down, and reached the water in time to meet Effie "ou the way ap" the second time, and, of course, rescued her. ?8 soon as the little one could get j water anoogh out aod breath enough in to speak, she said to Mr. Thomas: 'Jack, I have found your 'kettle;' it was clear down to the bottom," and, sure enough, she had the rope tightly clinched in her little fingers. We hardly know which to admire, the bravery of the mau who risked his life to save that of tho I little girl, or the coolness of the child in huating up tho "kettle" wheo fourteoo feet under water. [Cameron (Mo.) Observer. THIERS ON THE INCJOMB TAX.-In thc1 French National Assembly, a proposal was lately made to levy a, tax upon in? comes as a means of increasing the re? venue of the French republic. Presi? dent Thiers resisted the proposition with great energy. "If this tax," be said, "only impoverished the rich, I should not pity them, but ia tho proseat state of society, each a tax would be a source j of disorder. Read tho admirable book written by Vauban, and you will see that the inepmo tax is, iu another form, the most odious of those taxes which were abolished by the revolution, and we are asked to impoBo it uo'w, not in peaceful times, but ia the midst of dis turbauoe and uncertainty. This tax is nothing but a party instrument, to be ' used alternately by one party against others. I should be a coward if I did not declare that I will never consent to this tax." It is a pity that oar owa miora oouhtu't be penetrated with a lit? tle of this good sense and wisdom. This ia the way one extraordinary freak of nature is accounted for. Annie Brown for years excited rural communi? ties by exhibiting au unusual canso of affliction, and has been given over by many doctoro as one beyond oure. She has apparently been troubled with a soake, whiob, at intervals, thrust its head out of her mouth and instantly re? treated down her throat. A suspicious physician in Wayne County Infirmary prepared for sharp work, tho other morning, and when the snake appeared, seized the poor woman by tho neck, so that the reptile might not retreat. Lo, .whoa disgorged, nothing more formida? ble than' aa India-rubber imitation of u snake came forth, and now Annie's occu? pation is gone.

We have frequently heard of men who had ill lack in marriage; butThos. Fran? ois, of Albany, has boen particularly un? fortunate in that relation. U?B Grat wife killed herself thirty-four years ago; nine years after his second spouse ran away from him, and died of destitution in Illi? nois; six years later, his third consort was drownod. In 1858, his fourth help? mate was killed, and ho, having been convicted of the murder, was seul to prison for life, but pardoned out. In another deoade, the partner of in's bo? som mysteriously disappeared; and vory recently tho sixth wedded idol of Iiis soul sought pcaco and oblivion by bang? ing herself to a bed-post. Tho accumu? lation of years aud experience having made Francis a philosopher, he bears his con nair al bereavements with - fortitude and resignation. Tho Nowuan (Gu.) Defender, relates the following timely und benevolent action of an ox: "Last week a little boy was passing through the yard of ?ne of our citizens, when ho was suddenly assailed by a huge mastiff. The dog had succeeded in bringing the boy to tho ground, and was in the act of plunging his teeth into his flesh, when an ox, standing near, eutered the aronn, lifted the dog upon his horns and carried him off, to the joy of the little boy. It is not positively ascer? tained whether love for the little boy or hatred for the dog prompted tho inter? ference of the ox. Oid Billy W-, of Fluvanna County, Ohio, was dying. Ho was un ignorant man, and a very wicked one. Dr. D-, an excellent physician, and a very pious man, was attending him. The old fellow asked for bread. The doctor approached tho bed-side, and in a very solemn tone remarked: "My dear fellow, mau cannot live by bread alone." "NoI" said tho old fellow, reviving; "he's 'bleeged to have a fow wegatablesl" When Prof. Felton reading "A Mid? summer Night's Dream" to the captain of the ship on whioh he was a passenger, came to the description of Oberon sit? ting on n promontory listening to a mer? maid on a dolphin's back, the seaman was disgusted. "The dolphin's back," said ho, "is os sharp as a razor, and no mermaid could possibly ride the beast, unless she first saddled him!" Hartford h ?s a peculiar oharao ter, who. whenever be wants a drink, throws dice with himself to decide whether or not he shall indulge. He does it fair, only he is apt to leave it an open question as to the number of throws which shall de? cide. If he gets sixes in his own favor, he lots ono throw decide tho question ; bnt, if his luok is poor at the start, he insists upon three. A dwelling boase in Cambridge, Mass., formerly owned and oconpied by a gen? tleman named Norris, who, being in the lightning-rod business, placed a great number of conductors on various points of the building, was struck by light? ning, Friday morning, and considerably shattered. Tho Texas Gazette speaks in this style of a politician of that State: "Should the brains of a decent white man be de? posited in tho Mississippi river nt St. Louis, ten drops of river water at Vicks? burg would fully represent his intellect? ual capacity."

Henry Berry Lowry has sont a mes? sage to the authorities at Lumber ton, informing them that, if the wives of the ontlaws are not released, they will make reprisals by tho capture of white wo? men, and "will fill the COL .ty with slaughter and blood." The Carson Register says: "One ot the prettiest sights the human eyo ever rested upon is gold in a liquid state."

Prayer tends to make work successful ia two ways: by making the worker strong, and by securing the help of God. The re-action of prayer (if it merited no other praise) would be its ample vindica? tion. If it accomplished nothing with? out us, we should do well to "pray without ceasing" on account of what it docs within as. Tho PHOENIX establishment was bril? liantly illuminated, lost night, by ono of Doty's patent gos machines-which, ia poiat of brilianoy, economy and couve- J nienoo, is far ahead of any illuminator we have yet soon. We shall give it a further trial, before entering into a gene? ral description of its merits. A cordial invitation is extended to nil interested in the "march of improvement" to inspect it. General Stoibrand is at the head of a company OBgaged in the manufacture of these unrivalled machines. Mr. Boutwell, the infallible finanoier, is so no longer. One of bis grandest | schemes-the new loan-has come to grief. Upon the principle of making water roo up hill, he undertook to demonstrate how people ought to invest their money at five per cent., when it commanded seven. On paper he| "plseed" the whole of it, and then paid off the national debt with magic celerity -also on paper. Thereat a proau of I praise went np throughout the country for Boutwell and his master; but now, peste take it, we discover that tho chickens we counted are not destined to be hatched, after all. Nobody will look at tho new loan; 07,000,000 only were taken, and that by the national banks. Mr. Boecher says of novels: "I believe in them, I think that they are no more to bo disallowed than any other port of literature. They can bo made to serve the very best onda of economy, of vir tito and morality, to say nothing of religioo; but a maa who feeds on nothing but these, how miserable and wretohed he is!
