V. members spent half the session at home, leaving the field free to the brethren with larire axes to grind. It will do no : harm to the State, if the vote should be nearly a tie. There are a number of things that ought to be investigated, and the Republicans will now have a chance to show their "Patriotism," so called; " : Be Ye Thankful. Perhaps the drollest of all the - political blessings for which the President informs his countrymen they ought to give praise to Al mighty God is their alleged "devo-t'-i fre. institutions,'!! :; The iiceut does not specify the in 8titutions,,he refers to. The people ,- '-ftecd t& hank God for tLeiriiViTdlvotion'tq them can on ly infer, what institutions are meant by considering what are the partic- n!c frecj institutions" to which they are the most devoted, uiear ly ' one of the most obvious of them is the party machine, which mana gea and controls their political ac tions. For that free institution they are, then, to praise the Lord, and not the, ; party bosses. The spoils system is obviously, another of them, and for that blessed insti tutica they are,, to praise the Lord, and not the party President, as the beneficient giver of so great a bless We are not only enjoined to give thrks, praise, and gratitude to God for these astonishing politics I : : :2g, but re are : enjoined to pr y "that His blessings and mer- c" i continue.;. Evidently, tUn F: :: iJcntial injunction presents tassu.aofu3 a disagreeable alter r live. Considering the character of rnany of the political blessings the president asks us to pray the Lord to continue, we are con strained either to reject the Presi dent's information as to their source and decline to give Him thanks for them, which might be thought dis respectful to the President, or to pray the Lord to curtail His future beneficence by discontinuing that kind of blessings, which might be thought disrespectful to the Al mighty. Upon the terms of this alterna tive there is undoubtedly a consid erable multitude of Americans who will elect to show disrespect to the President by anathematizing the political demagogues, instead of iraisinsr the Almighty, for some of the "numerous aud varied" bless ings enumerated in the President's extraordinary list. . , 1 National Seventies- The financial journals, includiug those that regard it as the proper business of the treasury depart uient to regulate the money market, are still inquiring how the money that goes into the national treasury is to be got out again. Last year about $403,500,000 went iu, or fully $150,000,000 more than was needed to meet ordinary expenditures, in eluding interest on the debt. Thus far during the current fiscal year the receipts have been at the rate of about $30,000,000 a month, or $432,000,000, a year. The prosicct is that the income to the treasury will be at least $28,000,000 greater than it was last year, and that there will be a surplus of nearly or quite il00.000.000 in suite of the fact that our extravagant congress ap propriated some $80,000,000 more than was spent last year. So long as the treasury continues to take in so much more than is required to meet current expenditures, not on- y will there be an almost irresisti blp tendency to extravagance, but there will be continual complaint about locking up curreucy in the treasury, and those who think the treasury should ."relieve the mark et" will not cease their importnni ties. . Thus far we have disposed of the surplus liy reducing the debt. . For some time past there have been bonds subject to call, and we have been able to reduce the debt with out paying a premium. But if we go on paying at the same rate here after as we have been doing for some time past, all the bonds sub ject to call will be paid within four years, and for the succeeding five year the surplus can be applied on ly to the purchase ol bonds in open market at whatever price they may bear. After that for two or three years there win be redeemable nds, and then tor fourteen years it will be necessary to purchase again. These considerations sug gest that as a measure of economy, the taxes should be reduced so as to bring our receipts down more nearly to our current expenditures, and spread the payment and pur chase of the debt as evenly a? pos sible over the next twenty-five or thirty years years. Muntlen Gone. (E. C. Economist.) On thursday night W, J. Mun- deu, who, after his conviction at the last Perauimams court lor larceny in his elopement with Mrs, Johnson, was removed, for greater security, to the county jail of Chowan county, made Ins escape from durance vile, and is now a convict at large. The statement is that during the evening of Thurs day the prisoners in the jail were taken out into the . l ail yard to do some work within the enclosure. When it was getting dark, the jailer ordered the prisoners within the lau and wnen tney came m asked if all were in and was an swerod that they were all m. But in fact Munden was not in, but remained out, concealed hy the darkness. The jailer locked the doors of the jail and went away, During the night, Munden grabbled his way out under the jail enclosure and in the morning was not to be found. We do not know the pub- lis sentiment as to the responsibility for the escape of this notorious prisoner. Some, perhaps, may be disposed to censure thejailer. Mr. Pratt, thejailer. has for many years been in the public service iu the town of Edenton, and has always been regarded as a faithful, reliable and upright public officer, and we should be very slow in crediting any opinion impeaching - his integrity in office. We have known hiin from boyhood and have always had great confidence in his fidelity. A suitable reward would, we be lieve, soon nrocure the rearrest of the escaped convict. Reading the Eyes. According to a fanciful American phrenologist round-eyed persons see much, live much in the senses, but think the less. Narrow-eyed persons, on the other hand,see less, but think and feel more intensely. It will be observedjthat the eyes of children are open and round. Their whole life is to receive impressions. It is only when childhood is matur ing toward manhood and woman hood that thought comes if it comes at all. But what most leads to re flection! Experience. Our errors, our shortcomings, our failures these teach us to think before we act, to consider each step, to weigh every motive. Whcn,therefore,the upper eyelid for it is that which has the greatest amount of mobility droops over the eye, it indicates not merely rellection, but some thing painful to reflect about. Hence the length or drooping of the upper eyelid betokens confession and penitence. The drooping of half of the eye lids from the outer angle to the center indicates the disposition, to confess one's faults to parents or seniors, to a "father confessor." The drooping of half of the eye lids from the inner angle to the center betokens the disposition to repent and to "do works meet for repentance." Closely filled to these signs are those of prayerful ness and humility. The former is indicated by the muscle which turns the eye directly downward, as represented m the pictures ot the Madonna I'rayenumess is usually largo iu connection with that of penitence, the reason of which is that between the faculties of penitence and hu mility there is the same close con nection as between confession and prayer. One who has habitually more prayer than humility has the eye turned somewhat upward, so that the upward part of the iris is a little covered by the upper eyelid ana so as to leave a slight space between the iris and the lower lid. The reverse is true of one who has more humility than prayer. The faculty of truth that is, the love of it is indicated by the mus cle winch surrounds the eve, caus ing folds'and wrinkless. Justice is indicated by the . muscle which causes perpendicular wrinkles be tween the eyebrows. Fullness and wrinkles under the eye, for which some persons are remarkable, indi cate love for mathematical accura cy; and curving upward from the outer angle of the eye and eyebrow indicate probity or personal truth fulnessThere are three degrees of the faculty of justice. The first is a kind of exactness, or strict honesty in small money matters, wlncu some people would call close ness, and is indicated by a singlar perpendicular wrinkle or line be tweeu the eyebrows. The second is a disposition to require justice in others, and is indicated by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the center a very commousign. The third degree is conscientiousness, or tho dfsposi tion to apply the rule of justice t( one's self, and is indicated by three or more wrinkles or lines, especially extending above the eyebrow when the muscle is in action. The love ol commanders, in mastors and teachers, and in those generally who are lond ot excercising au thority.' In those who are wanting in the power to command and have no desire for responsibilty, this sig nal is also absent. The taculty ol command frequently acts with that part of justice which reprimands or requires others to do nghtand both together produce that irowmng and lowering brow which is so terrible to evil-doers or to those who love to be approved rather than condemu ed. Phrenological Magazine. Sore Eyes oiul School Children. (Youth's Companion.) A child may have sore eyes from various causes, ana tue ailment is simply painful and troublesome nut mere is a lorm tuat concerns the community an inflammation of the mucous membrance which lines the inside ot the lids and the front of the eyes. : ino meniorane is cauea tue con juuction,and disease conjunctivitis: i. inflammation of the conjunct nva. The inflammation mny soon become severe, and the secretions abundant and of a yellow tinge. This is pus, and is so virulent that the smallest particle carried to the eye of another child will communi cate the disease to him, and he to others indefinitely. The disease, however may origi nate without the contagions parti cle. It may begin with the indi vidual; but when once started, the first case may become a centre of a most fearful epidemic. ' It generally origintes among ill fed scrofulous children; and those most liable to take it are of this same class: But the scrofulous are apt to be ill-nourished, however abundant their food. School chil dren, therefore, cannot be too care fully guarded against the infection, and those who are obviously affect ed should, if possible, be kept apart.'' ' '' Says the eminent Lionel Iieale. "Now if many children in weak health, who for sometime previous- y have been badly managed as re gards food, air, exercise aud clean- mess, are allowed to congregate, and especially if the are confined in close, ill-ventilated rooms, the dis ease may not only arise, but soon acquire an extraordinary degree of virulence. "It may spread so quickly in such a community of children, that in a short time, out of four or five hun dred, one-third, oteYen aJarger proportion, may be sufl'eiing from the disease. Of the number affect ed many will suffer severely, and structural changes will result. "The transpaientpartof the eye in front, known as the cornea, may ulcerate, and when, after a- time, it teals, will be so altered that the transparanf tissue will become opaque, or the eye itself , may be destroyed, blindness, of course, re silting iu both cases." Wills That Did Not Will Wills have been a fruitful scource of litigation. When lawyers dined together in England, a hundred years ago, the first toast was "the schoolmasters." In those days they drew up wills and thereby furnished he lawyers with employment. A toast still popular with the profes sion is: "the lawyer's best friend the man who makes his own will." Strange as it may seem, there are many instances extant ot great lawyers committing such grave bluuders in drawing up their own wills that the courts were compelled to set them aside. Sir Joseph Tekyll accumulated a large fortune by the practice of the law. He left the whole of it to pay the national debt. The will was contested by his relatives, and the court set it aside on (lie ground of the testator's imbecility. Doubtless the judges 'sympathized with Jjord Mansfield's remark: "Sir Joseph was a good man and a good lawyer, but his bequest was a very foolish one. He might as well have attempted to stop the middle arch of Blackf'riar's Bridge with his full- bottomed wig." A noted black-lettered lawyer of the reign of William III., Serjeant Maynard, left a will purposely worded in obscure terms. His object was to cause litigation so that the courts might settle certain points which had often vexed him in his practice. The learned law yer evidently lelt that he owed something to his profession, and was willing that his estate should pay the debt. , A French lawyer, when he came to die, was troubled about his obli gations to his clients. He left twenty thousand dollars to an in sane asylum. ' "1 have acquired this money," said he, in his will, "among those who spend their lives m litigation. It is, then, only a restitution." Lord Chiet-Justice Mansfield dis posed of property valued at two million five hundred thousand do! iars by a win so snort. that it was written on half a sheet of paper It was distinguished by the absence ol the customary verbiage and by the neglect of the current forms of legal practice. The wiseacres ot the law, sur prised that the great lawyer should have drawn up a will in clear, idiomatic and even elegant English, asserted that it would not stand But it did, much to the dissatisfac tion of those who thought that no will should be written in words so intelligible that a plain man could understand it without difficulty. A .Receipt to Make Pretty " Women. A celebrated beauty, whose com plexion at sixty was fresher than that of our women at thirty, told me hr secret this summer, and it was divided into two parts: First She never used washrag or towel on hoc face, but washed it with her bauds, rinising it off with a soft sponge. She used clear water in the morning, but white casteel soap or very warm water at night, and after drying it on a soft towel she would take a fleshbrush and rub her .cheeks, chin and forehead. Second If she was going to be up late at night she always slept as many hours in the day as she ex pected to be awake Tieyond her usual time. She finished her little sermon on beauty preservation by saying: "Soft water and sound sleep keep off wrinkles and spots, and girls should give more atten tion to this than they do, for "With the coming of the crow's feet Is the going of the beaux feet.
