ARMIES.
j General'Sherrnjan thinks tBafif the
army - waas disbanded, that mob law
would ' be the order of the day t,It
niakes very little difference taus what
Sherman thialcs, for his opinions are
not the sentiments of a majority of
the American- people who still- cling
fondly to that clause of the Constitu
tion which says that standing armies'
are dangerous in times of - peace.--. In
fact,.a large standing army is inconsis
tent S with a free government, for the
sight 'of the" bayonetris the badge . of
the despot. When it has no duties to
par form its soldiers naturally become
demoralized and the contagion y also,
spreads among the citizens. There is
no truer saying in the world than that
idleness is the devil's workshop and
it is therefore dangerous to a country
'nr it rtfharA toS manv idle soldiers.
The ohlv' real neace that we haver ever
had in this country, was when . the
military was kept in subordination to
the civil authorities of the land and
experience has 'proved that the inter
medins; of the army? is always the pre
cursor of disorders and mobs. Grant
s -
tried bis military policy upon the
South and found it an utter failure; so
far as the peace and good order j of
society was concerned. Ha3'es adopt
ed a different plan, that of .reaving the
people5 to manage'their pwrapairs.
and it is needless to reiterate the good
ruita it has borne.
Somedavsaeo the Legislature of
NewYorsr passed an appropriation bill
to the amount of $1,000,000 for the

as the omnibus bill, and was. promptly
and properly vetoed by Gov Robinson,
who has set his foot against such reck
ess expenditures of the people's money
The friends of the bill argued with and
threatened the Governor but they
orinc hm immovable in the position
he had taken. They have now passed
an appropriation of a half million of
dollars and it is.thought he will sign
the new bill.

madeby which insignificant little
cross-roads jacklegs are blown to di
mensions that would split the , moulds
m wmcn uemostnenes and Cicero,
Alexander, Csesar, Hercules, Napoleon
and Ge6f geWashingtonS were cast.
They are familiar with all the processes
oi incubation, by. wmc,n. a despicable
human caterpillar is metamorphosed
into : a gorgeous butterfly. They see
the fulsome laudations of ignoble me-
diocricy, hatched , out by . venal scrib-

how : resolutions of enthusiastic com
mendation and : approval are concoc
ted, passed and. published ; and how
laughter f,"'cheersj", and great
applause are sown broadcast through
report oi stupid harangues, dry as last
year's mullein stalks.
They .themselves pour lorth grand
peans to the subline heroism and de
votion of many a pure patriot, whom
they know full well to be in reality a
soi did, groveling, heartless scoundrel
a soulless speculator oq the credulity
of, his countrymen a selfish adven
turer, striking no blow, enduring no
hardships, braving no danger, uttering
no word, save to advance his own indi
vidual fame and fortune. They gush
in lofty, rhapsodies, over the self sacri
ficing, heaven-descended benevolence
of many an old Mrs. Skinflint,,, who
figures as head of every charity fair
and president pf every aid association,
prominent on -every .relief committee
and 'every public subscription list;
when, all the time, they are well aware
tbat Bhe never gave even a slice of
mouldy bread or a cup of sloppy tea to
a perishing beggar at her door, unless
tnere was a certainty oi ner neignoors
seeing it or hearing of it. They sound
the praises of that bastard philanthro
py which, for three score years and ten,
grinds the faces of the poor into hatch
ets and knife-blades, wrings the last mite
from ' the famishing clutches of the
widow and "the fatherless: and then
on its death-bed, when all its ill gotten

inch of time or gasp oi breath, leaves
large bequests to hospitals, asylums

Philanthropy is a ravening wolf, whose

a pious swindle, a player s mask to be
worn under the eye of the world and
jeeringly thrown aside in the privacy
of counting rooms and back parlors.
Patriotism is the snowy star-spangled
circus tent that covers the innumer
able ;and never-ending tricks, tum

about and turnabouts, somersaults
and wintersaults, of political gymnas
ticitters and clowns; the ragged man
tle of all things abominable ; varnish
that cunning smears over rascality;
lid on the stink-pot of official scoun
drelism ; -demagogic fig-leaf that hides
every impurity, iniquity and atrocity.
And every virtue is but the broad phy
lactery of Pharisaism, the whitewash
on the sepulchre, the. silken cap that
hides the scald-head, the green moss
that clothes decay, the phosphores
cent light that gilds decomposition,
the ' blooming rind that encloses the
ashes and worms of the apples of So

lurking vice. To them, there is noth

rascality. 1 -

, There is a story of barberous cruelty,
and it is taken from the Virginia (Ner.)
Clvrmicle:'
Last night 'a gentleman weat into
Mayer's barber shop, and, climbing
into one of the chairs stretched himself
out for a shave. The barber lathered
his chin, got an edge on his razor, and
then began tq tell -him his family
history, and of course : he expected, the
man to tell him his in return, but was
somewhat chagrined to find that his
victim was fast asleep. Whe the shav
ing was finished . he woke the sleeper
and said ; , , :
"Hair cut ?"
"No, sir." ..
"But you'd better have it cut it's
getting pretty long. The Summ er's
coming on now. Your head '11 get hot
and all over dandruff."
"Bat I say I don't want it cut,"
"Nobody in Virginia, wears his hair
long now.? - - t
y ou , d d fool ?" ; shouted th e
man, "can't you see I wear a wig V'
"That's because you've never used
my, hair invigorator. . Lemtne sell you

-The foregoing is the substance f the
testimony at the Co ronor's inquest this
morning. The jury- promptly-rendered
a verdict of justifiable homicide. ,

Nerves that QuiTer.
Heads that ache, stomachs that inflict
djspeptic torments, muscles and joints
racked with the rheumatism, are infallibly
restored to health bv the celebrated elixir,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine
prescribed by physicians, possessing infinite
parity- and which no oce takes ia vain who
is affiicted with any of the numerous com
plaints to which it is adapted. It frequent
ly happens that so called remedies fall to
produce a permanent effect. This is ; be
cause they are merely palliatives, and there
fore do not remove the cause of the mala
dies, whose symptoms they after a time
cease to ameliorate. This is notably the
case with opiates and sedative drugs. It is
not so, however, with Hostetter's Bitters,
which are a seaiching specific that conquers
the diseaee as well as banishes its indicia.
