king, fifter the negroes had departed. ,
"That your majesty was wrong to have

Mussulmans in heart and soul. Blessed

In his youth Moreno went to India and
i became aid-de-camp to,Nahib. At Cawn
pore he had a duel with an English o'ficer,
who laid his head open with his sabre, on
which Moreno leveled his revolver, and

and die," 6hot his adversary- dead. After
- the defeat cf Nana Shahib, Moreno went to
Singapore, where some Malays told him Of
an Island where rivers of gold and mines
of diamonds were in abundance. Moreno
accordingly freights a schooner, and assist
ed by his Malay friends, arrived at this
Eldorado, which is inhabited by a diminu
tive race of blacks, who look upon him
much as the Aztecs did on Cortez, and. he

so agreeable that uo less than three of the
Chiefs daughters are bestowed upon him
as wives. Meantime he explores the island,
draws a map thereof, and having obtained
his father-in-laws leave to pay a short
visit to his white friends, he arrives at
r Florence where he obtains an audience of
Victor Emmanuel and urges him to fit out
an expedition to take? possession of this
auriferous island. The king, however,
what with Garibaldi and Bismarck, has
c lough on hand just now; Moreno, con-

A boil is generally very small at first, and
a fellow hardly notices it. but in a few iImvr
it gets to be the biggest of the two, and the
chap that has it is of very little account in
comparison with h s boil, which then "has
him." Boils appear mvsteriouslv nnnn v-

rious portions of the human body, coming
when and where 4 they darn please," and
oTtcn in very inconvenient places. Some
times a solitary boil is the sum total of af
fliction, but frequently there is a 'rubishin'
lot of 'em' to help the first one. If a boil
comes anywhere on a person, that person
always wishes it hid come somewhere else,
although it would puzzle him to say just
where. :
Some persons chll them Damboils,' but
such persons are addicted to profanity the
proper name is boil. If a chap has'a boil
he generally get a good deal of sympathy
from others in a horu. Whoever ' asks
him what ails him, laughs at him for his
pains to answerJ while many unfeeling per
sons make game of him, or of his misfor
tune, or boil. It is very wicked to make
port of persons with boils; they cannot helpj

THE PRESIDENT A??D THE RADICALS
' The New York CommerciaJ (Republican,)
edited by Thurlow Weed, thus expresses
its views ol President Johnson and the
Radicals:
In principle, in patriotism, and in inferr-
rity we unhesitatingly believe that P resi
dent Johnson has the advantage of his lead
ing Radical adversaries. Wc believe that
he sincerely and honestly desires the loyal
restoration oi the union, and the re-estab-
lisnment cf law and order, and the pros
perity of the people. Ou the other hand,
we as sincerely believe that Chase, Sum
ner, Butler, aud other Radical aspirants for
the; Presidency, pursue their selfish purpose
reckless of all consequences, and that, for
negro vote in 1SCS, they are ready to
hazard the wliole future safety and welfare
of the government and people. 3ut of
what use was President Johnson's patriot
ism and integrity even to his country, his
party or himself He has great intellect
ual strength, sleepless industry, high cour
age, and he entered upon the discharge of
ni riCKuincuuui i, ouocsiiy ana anxiously
intent upon serving his country usefully
and honorably.; And yet tlie good he aim
ed at is not accomplished. Ot course there
is a scrv loose sothewhere. Can't it be
found and 'keyed np" in time to avert im
pending evils and dangers?

It is a great pity that the laws 'do not
class drones and idlers in the catalogue ol
nuisances. They are certainly the" moat
despicable class of human beings.1 They
add nothing to the common wealth; they
make no good use of their strength and
faculties. , On the other hand, they live by
the earning of others, consuming what in
dustrious persons produce, and making the
world poort-r to the exte'nt of what they
eat ah) wear.. J3y their slothfulness they
violate .social, iliysicaU aiul-jnoral laws.
The system of society requires work, the
physical organism demandj it, and divine
law explicitly enjoins it upon every man
in the sweat of thy face shalt tliou eat
bread. ' And yet, unfortunately, the fash
ions of the present day encourage idleness
and frown upon labor. The popinjay, who
is puff, d and padded bv his tail or. and
curled by his barber, pinched by his boot-
mjKer, and stiileued by his laundress, is
the pet and favorite of fashion. 'At thn
sam time fashion turns up her nose at the
honest toiler who not only earns the bread
he eats, but also helps, by his industry, to

mother of dissination and viee. while in.

The present tendency of society, in this
country, is ro produce put that effect, an.l

ueuce i.ie danger. liiere was a time
which our older citizens can well remem
ber, when labor was respected and liouored
in this country, by all classes. Now, how
ever, the rich too generally turn up their
uoea at thy working ciae, carmg noth-
in for them except to une them for

cal or other noniuses. There

THE EUPLOYilEXT OF WOUEN.
Fifteen thousand women, according to
the lowest estimate of the Evening Post,
earn their living in New York under c
con-
that not the prejudice of others, but of
tneir own minds. A woman oh education,
in reduced circumstances can, if ehevhas
capital, open a boarding houe, ami lif she
ha not, can teach. These are about the
occupations which her notions of respecta
bility allow her, and .3 a consequence the
business is overstocked. Those women of
a lower social siandinir. who are tdaeed
upon their own resources, have alsj their j
prcpidices. 1 he position ot servant, at which
good wages and good board might be ob
tained, is scorned, and the girl who is
above such work ekes out a bare existence
on six dollars a week at some trade' with !
........ r
ic fiisienr.H :
the ever-present risk ot hndmg herself out
of work. The idea of marriaze. wiich i J
declared
with how much truth we dare
not say to possess the' mind ofl every
woman, n unc great muurance IO lllC Clll-
ciency of working women, as it interferes
with their thoroughness and limits their
ambition. But there are some pursuits in
whjch women, if inclined to business, may
secure not only a comfortable, but a hand
some subsistence. Salaries from twenty
five dollars to thirty dollars a week are paid
saleswomen at perfumery establishments,
who control a regular set of customers,
and. as managers in some kinds of business,
they cotnmand one, two and threcj thou
sand dollars a year. The highest known
alary paid a woman in New York is five
thousand. But these are exceptionalcases,
and the great majority of women depen
dent on their own labor for subsistence
must find a place in the more usual pursuits,
and their social prejudice Ftauds iu the way.
JTnE Dar Goods Trade. There are
wide differences of opinion among j those
who ought io be able to pronounce an in
telligent judgment in relation to the pros
pects of lhe dry goods market the coming
season. Some sagacious buyers are laying
in a good supply of domestics in anticipa
tion of a rise in prices, while some very
cautious dealers are holding back, under tlfe
belief that there must inevitably be' a de
cline, on account of the chaotic condition of
political affairs. In short, there arc bulls
and bears in dry goods as well as in rail
roads, gold and bonds. For our own part,
we have no hesitation in giving our opinion
that the bulls in dry good this spring will
have the best time of it; and this opinion is
based on the evident tendency of the mar
ket at this early period of tlie season, upon
the case of momentary affairs growing out
of the passage of the non-contraction bill,
upon the advance in the price of cotton, up
on the comparatively light stock) in first
hands, and the universally admitted bare
condition ol the country generally.' These
remarKS appiy 10 cotton goods mainly; m
woolen the prospect of better prices is not
by any means encouraging. The transac
tions in domettics durittg the past week
have been large, but aalehave been chiefly
to houses for "stocking up;" the tmusu .1

THE QULF STREAiL
It is undeniable that the influence of the
Gulf St ream is felt through a large portion
MMivt,, ii udd i nit: uiiiii ui nils in
fluence? This practical question has been
answered in a variety of ways by dilTerent
writers. ,It seems to have been taken for
granted that the Stream rises in the Gulfot
Mexico, and hence it is commonly called
the Gulf Stream. It is generally supposed

to express the opinion that "true economv
demands their substitution for iron as rapid
ly as the receipts of the road will allow."
There are many indications that steel rails
"it ii t .at ii.
win eventually be adopted oy ail the rail
ways iu the country. On the 6core of du
rability and economy the demand for them
may be expected constantly to increase.
As we have before noticed, every few orders
for rails are now being sent in to the iron
districts in England, while the makers of
steel were scarcely ever busier, and they
are being fast put down on some of the
longest lines of England, and manufac
tured for immense railways in India and
Canada. The total disappearance of the
iron rail is now considered a mere ques
tion of timo.

A Enssi&n. Village.
Far away among the wildest of the wild
steppes of Russia, and in the heart of corn
countries, is a desolate village. It is one of
very many, and a fair type of all villages
in Southern Russia. It is built in a strag

no girl singing as she carries her milk and

and must be stoned back to their

Eugenie, Irving spoke with marked inter

'What a remarkable person Louis Napo
leon is !' he said; 'a dashing fellow! It
seems strange that he should have been here
where we are standing. Yes! in this very
place. He used to stop hereon his way;np
to West Point, when he was in America,
long before he became Emperor. I sup
pose he went up to see the fortifications.

OldAqe. An English magazine writer
observes: Old age is but a mask; let us not
call the mak the face. Is t tlie acorn old
because its skin has grown ,brown-ao4
cracks in the earth? Then only is a man
growing old when be ceases to have sym
pathy with .the young. That is a sign that
his heart has begun to wither. And that
is a dreadful kiud of old age. Tho heart
need never be old. Indeed, it should al
ways be growing younger. Some of.ut
feel younger, do we not. than whnn ?4
