In tho oonrse of his speech, Butler said: If he might be allowed to speak for the Republican party, he j would embody the aootrino in a sontence ?not that all men were equal, but that evory man had a right to be tbe equal of evory otbor man. All constitutions, all laws, all enaotments, all prejudices, all caste, all custom, all thought againBt tbat, in oontravention of that, were unjust, wioked, unchristian and certain? ly must be brought to naught.

The committee bad talked over the matter fully and freely, and tho Tosult arrived at was, tbat tbe com? mittee did nut regard it as tbe sphere of Congress to enter into a general system of providing for pauperism in the States. If this precedent were estab? lished, it would soon be found that Con? gress had entered on the whole business of taking charge of pauperism gene? rally throughout the States. The report was adopted, and tho committee was discharged from tbe further considera? tion of tbe eubjeot.

Thomas Briggs, of Twelfth street, has a boy baby about ten mouths old, who is admitted at the beginning of this article to look just like his father, and to be the smartest boy baby of his ago in De? troit. Yesterday morning, the child was sitting ou tbo floor, playing with live or six big coat buttons ou a string, und taking uu occasional nibble at an apple to bring out his first crop of tooth. Mrs. Briggs aud a neighbor were talking away as only womeu can gossip, when tbe baby hid the buttons under a ma*, and started to finish tho apple. A bit of the bkiu got iu his throat aud ho gave a cough and u whoop and pawed the air and rolled over on his head. "Ob, them buttons! he has swallowed them buttons!" cried the mother, as she yanked him up and shook him. "Pound him on the back I" yelled the other woman, trying to hold thu baby's leg* still. "Bun for the neighbors!" cried Mrs. Briggs. "Oh, he'll die! he'll diel" screamed the other, as she ran out. And the neighbors came in and made him lie ou Ins stomach and cough, und theu turned him ou his back aud rubbed his btumach, and joggled him about all sorts of ways uutil he got mul uud he went to howling. Theu a boy ran for Briggs, aud Briggs rau for a doctor, aud the doctor cum? and choked th.< baby, and ordered sweet oil aud mustard plaster, and told them to hold him ou bis back. Everybody knew that those six big buttons were lodged in that baby's throat, because he was red iu the fice, and because he dtrang'ed as ho howled and wept. They poured down sweet oil, aud put mus? tard across him, and wept over him, and the mother said she could never forgive herself. Boys drove by calling out, "Slab wood for sale!" and tbo scissors man went by shouting, "Sburp! sharp!" but that distressed crowd held tbe baby dowu and bhed their tears over his whole leugtb. The doctor was looking serious, aud Iiriggs was thinking that he hadn't dune unything to deserve such a blow, when one of tho women pushed thu mat und discovered the buttons. Then everybody laughed and danced,! and they kicked tbe sweet oil bottle under the bed, threw tbe mustard plaster at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs bugged the howling angel to her bosom und culled him bor "wopsy topsy hopsy dropsy popsy little cherubim."

Then follow processes requiring crystallization?a mingling of pure water, a little carbonate of sulphur, und certaiu proportions of liquefied pbos phoruc. Still, nil this may not yield a thoroughly deceptive diamond. An? other oompositiou is made from silver sand, very pure potash, minium, cal? cined borux, aud a form of arsenic, va? ried occasionally by a mixture of btrass ?a mixture for which an equivalent is paste, and which represents pebbles burnt to powder, white lead and other smaller materials.

As Herbert Spencer says, it seems almost impossible for men to form im? partial judgments. Tho British autho? rities acquitted the Loch Eiru of blame for the collision with the Villo du HaVre, whilo tho French Admiralty Court has decided tbo manoeuvre of tho Villo du Havro to have been blameless and bold tbe management of the Loch Earn as the cause of tbo disaster.

Spiritualism and Faro.?Some years; ago, Mr. MoGruth got quite interested; iu sphituahsm. T?ere wasn't mocu racing going on, eo be could give tbe subject bis undivided attention. He in? vited a frieud to go with him and see Foster, or some other circulating me-! dium, und my friend went. But he told; me that it surprised htm very much to see Mr. McGrath slip u fml deck of: cards iu his pocket before starting. It. scarcely seemed possible that Mr. Mc-| Grath intended to propose a game of , spiritual saven-up, or to attempt to beati some uuhappy ghost out ot every rap1 he bad at draw poker, which is sup posed to be au emphatically blue grass! game. Well, uwuy they sailed, andj found Foster in. I found him out once,1 immediately after finding him in. Fob-, tor gave him his usual circus, aud Mr. j McGralh sat it through in solomu awe. and silence. Sometimes a shade of im? patience was visible, but his face looked1 radiant at the conclusion. "Mr. Fos? ter," ho said, as ho laid tho usual honor? arium down ou the table, "this is won-: darful, uud you deal a yquare game, you do, 1 do beli-.vo. But there's just one thing more X want you to try, and if' you do it and I don't givo you just the best farm in Kentucky, my name ain't Price McGruth," aud down went his hands into his coat pocket, and out he tidied the pack of cards. "There," giving them a scieutiiio bluo grass shutile, uud slapping them ou the table, backs up. "You just tell me what the first card is without turning it over," and his breath came slowly in expecta? tion, Price McGrath's did. Foster couldn't, and Mr. McGrath turned sadly away, leaving the cards behind him iu his bitter di.appointment. "If Foster could jnsta-tuld me what that curd was," he said to my frieud, as they slowly walked up Broadway, "I'd a-just made our everlasting fortunes. I'd u-tuken him with me, und we'd u-busted every faro bauk in this country. Aud then if j I wouldn't u-mudo their hair curl at Ba? den-Baden und .Monaco, I'll be JDee (Deed." Mr. McGrath always suys that J he'll be Doe Deed when ho feels solemn aud wants to round u sentence hand isouiely.-.ive<o York Tribune. To Dance and Yet re Prudent.?Be very careful not to pull down your shirt sleeves, or up your collar, or, iu fact, to do anything to your costume as you enter the bull-room. It implies nervousness or uneasiness with yourself to do eo; and your one great endeavor in all societies should bo to lippeur tho roughly at your ease, and satisfied, with? out vanity or coxcombry, with your dress und appearunce. Do not stand idle; but do not dance over-much. Tho one implies a small number of friends; tho other wastes valuable time, and pre? vents your keeping thut constant look? out all around you which is essential to success. Be introduced to kuowable people quietly; thero is no necessity to advertise to by-standers that you did not know them before. Never talk much to a woman you have only just made the acquaintance of, nor eagerly. She may be allowed to suppose you wished to know her, but not that ber acquaintance is any particular acquisition to you. Above all things, my dear boy, I ou treat you not to stand iu tho doorways, nor herd with other men upou the lauding. It is simply advertising yourself a fail? ure. Tie yourself to tho veriest wall? flower, gossip with the dowdiest mo? ther, dance with the most disappointed of the maidenhood, rather than sink to this. Sitting in corners comprises a very hirgo subject, or, rather, array of subjects. To kuow how to sit in corners well and prudently requires a vast expe? rience and a steady head; so, until you have much exteuded your acquaintance and your knowledge of humanity, I would recommend to you to avoid that most agreeable of tho pleasures of ball going. It is not for u novice at once to penetrate to the inner depths of fashion's mysteries, and I shall therefore put off my advice on this subject until 1 come, in a future letter, to tbo great subject ol flirting, which of course comprises the art of sitting in comers. [ London Society. -- ? Strikes.?What uro now popularly known us strikes in this country uro of no recent origin. It is ouly within a fow years, however, that they have as yumed the character of efforts for an in? crease or against reduction of wages. Iu England, during tho past century, several trade demonstrations occurred on grounds that look most frivolous to us of this iige. That at Tiverton was caused on account of tho introduction of worsted yarns from Ireland. Iu 1791, tho buckle-makers of Birmingham pe? titioned Parliament to prohibit the use of shoe-strings! Ou refusal, a "shoe string riot" resulted. When composi? tion rollers were introduced iu the Lon? don printing houses, about 1821, in lieu of "halls," u general strike ensued among pressmen, followed by riotous demonstrations. When tbo first rail? roads were being made iu England, the owners of coach Hues incited bitter ani? mosity against them, and the workmou frequently Lad to be protected by mili? tary force. Wo might cite muuy ench cases in England, but wo luow of none similar iu this couutry. It was long the short sighted view of iguoraut men thut new labor-saving machinery, railroads, etc., would make their "occupation gouo;" but experience shows that the men, horses or capital killed in oue branch .of industry aro soon diverted into othors. Nay, more, that froquoutly new branches of manufacture uro cre? ated, requiring an immensely larger number of men and more capital. The American people realized ? this much sooner than the English people, oud hence tho superior development oi in? ventive genius among us. - ?-? ? ?-- - Ouo of the oldest aud best citizens ol Samter County was called to his eternal reward during tho holidays just passed, iu tbe death of Mr. Hampton Watts We hardly remember any Christmas J holidays marked by murders as those of j 1S73 have beeu. We do not intend to | oatalogue them, or to say of them more thau that New England seems to bare u little above a fair share. It cannot, however, ba denied that much more than a moiety of these tragedies appear to have bad their origin in bard drink? ing; nor is it all a new thing for men and womeu to make merry Christmas mournful by getting drunk. In this reapect, however, Christmas does not differ from other festive days, iuuioding tbe Fourth of July. Somehow, merry making is always thirsty. Sir Samuel Baker recently told the Boyal Geographical Society of London that duriug his late abolition raid into Southern Egypt be preached to a dis? tinguished African chieftain on the sin aud cruelty of the. slave trade uutil he brought tears iuto his eyes; but, wiping the pious drops uway, tbe chieftain turned right around aud offered to sell his own sou to the preacher for a spade.
