Local Papers. The N evv York Times says you might nearly as well forget your academies aud schoolhouses os to forget your lo cal paper. It speaks to teutirmsthe audience your local minister does. It is real eagerly every week from be ginning to end. It reaches you all, and if it has a lower spirit end less wisdom than a sermon, it has a thous and times better chance at you. Lay ing, as it does, oa every table, in al most etery house, you owe it to your selves to rally liberall The cars were hurrying toward the !, city as if conscious that business hours had begun. Our party was seated comfortably, full of plans for doing all that we wished to do while in town. Presently a friend seeing us came over and took a seat with us. and happily diverted our cumbered brains by incidentally mentioning that he had traveled to and fro over the State of Maine time and again. We were all interested at once; for was not that our Fatherland, and did we not feel as if “our foot was on its na tive heath ?” Alter much chit chat and many tales of adventures; our visitors becoming more serious, said, I left one of those towns one fine September morning in a top buggy with a good horse. Two or three tntles out I noticed that the road stretched up and over a long steep bill. As my horse crept up, I saw not far before me a person walk ing. She looked very old, and scarce- ly appeared to move, so slow was her gait. As I came up I said. “Why, mother what are you doing here?” “Why, man,” said she, “I am going to the next town to visit my son.” “But marm, it is seventeen miles.” “Oh, well, I shall call at some farmer’s for the night, and hope to-morrow eve ning to drink tea with my William.” “If,” said I, “you think you can trust me I shall be glad to give you a seat in my carriage, as iny rout lies through that town.” “Low, child, this is good of you, and praised be God.” With much ado she was finally seated aud we jog ged on. She entertained me with an account of her family, why and when she came from Scotland; said she was eighty-five years old, aud with many pioua expletives, unwittingly taught me a lesson of gratitude. When she alighted at “my William’s door,” she heaped her blessings upon me, thanking me over and over, and saying, “I shall be on my knees at twelve o’clock praying to God for you, and remember, sir, that God has prom ised to hear the prayer of the widow and the fatherless.” I smiled my thanks unconcernedly, and said, “Good-bye, good-bye I must go,” but she held my arm, saying, “Remember, boy, I shall pray for you to-night at twelve.” Thanking her once more, I was soon seated, and trotted off at a brisker rate than usual; for must I not reach the Penobscot and take the Boston boat, at Bangor. So on I went and as I drove into town in ample season to secure my passage, I moralized that Bffcorish Girls. The young Moorish girl of Algeria is one of the prettiest and most fasci nating creat ures in existence Her fea tures are oval, her eyes are wonderful ly cxpiessive ; but she is as deceitful as the most artful European coquette The gracefulness of her carriage is ex ceedingly striking. Her hair, which is not Hiifrequently straight, though sometimes curly, is as dark as the ra ven’s plumage. It is generally arran ged in bands and is passed round the head and fastened in a simple or double tail, which is tied with ribbons, and almost sweeps the ground. The coif fure is covered with a velvet chachia, which is fastened under the chin with two pieces of ribbon. The Moorish maiden has very small hands and tiny feet. Iler stature is about the middle height, and her carriage graceful. Her cotume is generally very elegant. The plainest toilet consists of a gauze chemise, with short sieves, and a ser- rouai (pair of drawers,) made of white calico or mus'in, very .wide and reach ing down to the knee. It not uufre- quently happens that the Moorish maiden wears, in addition to the above toilet, the djuhadoli, a kiud of richly embroidered vest which seldom or nev er reaches above the sholders, which tends to contract the chest. At other times she wears the rlila, a kind of jacket made of silk, and rich ly embroided iu gold. She wears round her waist a large piece of striped silk, which reaches down to the ground: and over that a silken sash, the golden- embroidered euds of which haug down in front. When the rhla is worn, the coiffure is changed ; and the chachia is replaced by a silk handkerchief of bright colors. We must not omit to mention the habauches, which are made of green velvet, and which almost crip ple the feet as much as the slippers worn by the Chinese ladies. The Moorish women never move abroad without being closely veiled. They envelop themselves so in a white kai/c, in Algiers, and iu a blue one at Constantine, that it is utterly impossi- to catch a glimpse of any other part of their features than their eyes. to its support, and exact from it as able high-toned character as you do from any educator in your midst.

Four V ro mtii cut >ia<u a «tl« Lircateoi—Erl'* deuce at Fraud lr t nmi.Utiag—A Dem ocratic OtHcrr ScHinx Oat n £*recxacf. Philadelphia, Oct. 16.—The Citi zens’ Municipal Reform Association have already caused the arrest of four parties who were prominent in the election frauds in this city. They have been bound over to appear at the November term of the court. Persons who witnessed fraud at the polls appear daily at the rooms of the association and give information. A committee has been appointed by the citizens’ Municipal Reform As sociation and all these cases will be followed up as early as practicable. Several election judges have made statements as to “stuffing” ballots af ter the ballot boxes had been sealed. These Frauds were transacted in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Wards. It is claimed by the Citizens’ Municapal Reform Association that the reform city ticket was elected by at least five thousand majority, and that they have sufficient evidence to prove the fact. The asssociation is being strongly or ganized, and announce a determina tion to ferret out the entire rascality at the late election. About five hun dred persons have made complaints and affidavits as to how they were swin dled out of their votes by “challenging” G. W. Gowen, Domocraiic candi date for State Representative in the Second District will file an applica tion against Robert C. Titermarry, Republican, who he alleges was fraud ulently elected over him. There is no question that Mr. Gowen was honest ly elected by about 60U majority The Citizens’ Municipal Reform Asso ciation vviil assist him in the contest Complaint was made to-day against a Democratic election officer in a pre cinct of the Sixteenth Ward which has always given a large Democratic majority. It is complained that he sold out the whole precinct to the Republicans. 8IIPSD nov*. is the aggregate of your own consequence, and you can not ignore it without miserably depre ciating yourselves. An Appeal from the South.—A New York dispatch in the Western prints says a circular lias been receiv ed at Democratic headquarters, ad dressed to merchants of the city, by merchants of the South. It asks them as they value the prosperity of the Southern States to do what lies in their power to defeat the re-election of President Grant. They claim that four years of carpet-bag rule will fix upon them a commercial paralysis.— In supporting Horace Greeley they say they give every possible evidence of thei r des.ire for reconciliation and peace; that foyr more years of Grant at the South means probably a war of races, certainly a re-enthronement of carpet baggers, and they express the hope that if commercial men of the North value the revival of the industry of the South, they will unite in saving its people from impending calamity.— These circulars have been sent from every portion of the South, especially the cotton States. The Preservation of Leaves.— Now that the leaves are beginning to assume their autumnal tints, the ques tion as to the best method of preserv ing them is in order. It is only of late years that the collection ol leaves at tracted much attention, but it is now a matter ol business no less than pleas ure. The fancy goods shops of larger cities are each fall supplied with the -rarest specimens, aud boxes of them are each year shipped to Europe by tradesmen." The process of preserva tion is very simple. A few thick blotting pads, some sheets of drawing paper, some camel’s hair brush and some amber varnish are all the neces sary appliances, save a thick book to press the leaves between the blotting pads so as to extract the moisture be- fore they are varnished and placed up on the papers. Already the leaves are turning, and the ivy, especially, is in proper condition. The poisonous plant makes the prettiest leaves, and is not so dangerous but that most peo ple can handle it in the fall. in an instant the diip was filled to suf focation with the vapor. Every mo ment we expected to see the flames burst out. The terror of the hour can better be imagined than described. There were seventy-five ladies and more than twrice as many gentlemen. The officers found all discipline impos sible ; even the coal-heavers entered the ladies’ state rooms, and took life- preservers from them. As I rushed to the forward deck my heart was dull, and I could only cry, “Oh, that that widow’s prayer might be answered, and we yet be saved.” The night wore on, and still we were afloat, and neither fire nor water had devoured us. The next day there loomed up iu our wake a large white steamer, white and fair as the wings ot Mercy. She threw us a line and brought us safely to port. Here our friend paused, but as no one spoke, he said, now this is true, and no exaggeration ; and I be lieve that the prayers of that woman saved the ship. There was an excla mation of yes, yes, from all and as the train drew m the dark, smoky depot, some one murmured Tennyson’s favo rite lines : Moie things'are “Pray for ray sonl Wrought hy prayer Thau this world dreams of.” M. F. II. in Christian Era. If the people of this State ever be come prosperous it will be after they commence a general system of farm ing, as carried on in the West. The chief pillar aud corner stone of success ful fanning everywhere is, first to pro duce at home the food supply for man and beast, then make for sale a surplus of all such articles as can be most profitably produced. Highly Important.—We find the following highly important piece of news printed in the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday: While President Grant was out driving on Saturday afternoon, one of the colts iu his team suddenly bolted, and sheering, broke the pole. The President leaped from the vehicle just as the younger of the two colts kicked in the dashboard. Assistance then arrived to the relief of the President, who congratulated himself upon his escape. One B. W. Harris was on the 10th instant nominated by the Massachu setts Radicals to succeed the Hon. Oakes Ames. We know nothing of this Mr. Harris, but we object to Mr. Ames being superseded. He is an em inently representative Radical. He thoroughly comprehends Grant and Grantism, and knows that stealing is a prerequisite to Radical favor. If the tates should condemn us to a second term of Grantism, we respectfully sug gest that the Hon. Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts, ought to be made Sec retary ot the Treasury.—Courier-Jour nal. In the event of Grant’s re-election North Carolina and Georgia are both to be reconstructed again. From the former the infamous Pool is to be con tinued as Senator in spite of the wish es of the people and the action of the Legislature, while over the latter Bul loch will perhaps be reinstated as Gov ernor. Republican government and constitutional liberty at the South are dependent upon the defeat of General Grant. aces, the bequests of a dead man’s un graved wealtli—what is the honor of such estates? Pocket-book aristocracy is a tottering citedel, which keeps no certain possessor. Brains and mechan ical talent mount higher on the ladder that leans on the steeple of glory ; they exalt intelligence and do not debase spirituality. Work is a safty-valve to many a temperament overflowing with nervous vigor, whose possessors, left without labor, idle warriors on the battle-fields of the world, would perish and die, or else occupy the cells of the lunatic asylums; madmen for want of work. Good, efficient, able workers stand foremost in the world s army of benefactors, sure to do the world laud- ibie service. Their power extends over all its vast surface. They are its true kings and queens. In the needs of the rich, in the shams of ostenta tion, the trifles that form the sum to tal of fashionable extravagance, the glistening ray of their honest expert labor is sure to shine. Without their drudgery, the dependent Mordecais would be naked and hungry; the opu lent wait as centries on the cost of the laborer. Even employers are bewild ered by their employees’ strikes, and are dumb, confounded, over inadequa cy and blundering workmanship. Let us not repine then if numbered amoug the workers of the land, but wear our crests proudly, awaiting the reward which honest labor must surely bring. Somo of the grandest spirits that the world has ever known—mbn whose works and memory are enduring—were regarded iu youth as dunces.— They flowered late, hut boro the rarest fruit. It is somew hat discouraging for a boy of moderate abil ities, who aims to do bis ht st, to be told that others accomplished in childhood what lie cau do ouly by hard study in the best years of his youth. But such a hoy should not relax his efforts. lie will succeed if he gives bis heart and mind to the work. That distinguished teacher, Dr. Arnold of Rug by, after speaking of those who zealously cultivate inferior powers of mind, said of such a pnpii, “I would stand to that man hat in band.” He once spoke sharply to a duil boy, who replied; “Why do you you speak angrily, sir 7 Indeod, I am doing the best I can.” Dr. Arnold never so felt a re buke in his life. Sir Isaac Newton was a pronounced dnnee in his early school days. TIo stood low iu his classes, and soemed to havo no relish fo-study. One day the “bright boy” of the school gave him a kick in the stomach, which caused him severe pain. The insnlt stung young Newton to the quick, and he resolved to make himself folt and respected by im proved schoiaiship. Ho applied himself resolute ly to study, and, ero loug. stood in his classes above the hoy who had kicked him, and ultimate ly became the first scholar in the school. Nowton owed his pre-eninsnee in his phi'osophieal studies more to porseveranca and application than to any marvelous natural endowment. ...Oliver Goldsmith, than whom no boy could ap pear more stupid, was tho butt of ridicnle at school’ A school-dame, after wonderful patiom e and perseverance, taught him the alphabet—a thing which she deemed creditable to her skill, and which she livtd to mention with pride when her pupil became famous He made no progress in exact studies, but liked history and Latin poe try. He was a sore trial to his ambitious mother, who made many fruitless efforts to quicken his wits by her sharp words. His relatives, teachers and schoolmates all toid him that he was a fool, which verdict he did not dispute, but took good humoredly. Even when ho had produced the “Traveler,” an eminent critic said to a friend, “Sir, I do believe that Goldsmith wrotejlhat poem, and that, let me tell you, is believing a great deal.” Sir Walter Scott was a a dull boy, and when at tending the University at Edinburgh, ho went by the name of “the great blockhead.” But he wast ed no time on trifles, and in pursuing a study that he loved—as, for example, history or the chissics he was persevering and methodical. He was one of those whose knowledge on a subject that inter ested increased until it lay like a great volume in his mind. When Walter Scott began to make use of that knowledge, society gave him another v^ake fulness- There is a disease of modern civilization which it more prevalent than is generally suspected. It it wakefulness, inability to sleep, it is net only a disorder of the functions of the brain, but is, in most ins’ances, accompanied by a change in it* organic condition. ft has been found by modern investigation that sound, natural sleep requires that a diminished quantity of blood shall bo circulating in the blood vessels of tho brain. When that organ is excited, the circulation proportionally increases. The truth of th : s st.atem.ant has been v 'rifled by obser vation upon the brsins of persons who have hud portions of tho skull removed in consequence of accidents, and also by experiments upon animals The increase in the vascular nxcitjineut is atten ded with more or less dilatation of the Hood ves sels, an I when this condition continues for a con ■id arable length of time it becomes more or less permanent. If the vessels again contract to their natural iizo they have less power than before to resist the impulse of tbo circulation when it is again excited. This is the condition of an over worked brain, and it is not infrequent among the present generation of men who are so intensely eager in their pursuits, especially those who are in the pursuit of wealth. The brain at last gets ab normally excited, and retains more than a natural quantity of blood .even after the attention oithe per son has been taken from tho subject which occupied it. Under snch conditions the brain can not obtain rest. Although consciousness be lost, the brain will continue in a more or less active condition, as is proved by the vivid dreams which follow excessive mental labor The dilated condi tion of the blood vessels at l«st becomes chronic, and it is almost impossible for the unhappy suffer er to get enough rest to maintain the ordinary bodily functions. In this manner are laid the foundations for organic diseases of the brain to which so many of our overworked, ambitious men are constantly falling victims. The natural reme dy for this imiiction Is rest, and the abstraction of the mind from the sources of excitement. This is often difficult of accomplishment, but as a goneral rule, when no actual disorganization has taken place, and the blood vessels have not lost their contractile power, sueces.; will generally follow (a faithful effort to obtain quietude, and to free the mied from those subjects which overtaxed it.— Important questions are related to this subject which should receive more general attention. So cial and business habits which shorten the time of sleep, not only of thoso who practice them, bat of others, are too common. One who lives in a build ing or in a neighborhood where bo cannot escape from constant noise night or day, aud has acquir ed a habit of wakefulness, is robbed of a portion of his natural rights. The question as to how far municipal government may interfere in the regu lation of the habits of citizens with reference to se curing a general period of qniotude during certain hours of the night, is a difficult one to discuss ; hut much may be effected by tLe spread of knowledge, and an endeavor on the part of the more thuught- fnl.to improve our city, especially in its sanitary arrangements.—N.

ARE YOU GOING TO PAINT ? THE Averill Chemical Paint name, somewhat different from tho Edinburgh ap pellation. It was, “The Great Magician.” Senator Schurz was born at Liedlar, near Cologne, Prussia, and is forty-four years of age. He and Dr. Germerf being both students at the time, took part in the smuggle for a republic in 1S49, and were present at the surren der ol the fortress of Rastadt, in Baden. 1 he Senator escaped by strategy, while the doctor was made a prisoner, and was imprisoned in the casemates. They had not seen each other for ma ny years, when they first met in this country, but the recognition was im mediate, and the two had a jolly good time in talking over their early adven tures. The news from Indiana assumes a still more pleasing shape. Hendrick’s majority is much larger than was at first announced, and the indications are that the election of other officers will be contested by the Liberals. In one township which gave a heavy Repub lican majority, it is 6tated that neither the judges nor the clerks were sworn. If this township be thrown out, nearly the entire Democratic State ticket will be elected. * The Columbus (Ohio) Sentinel says that “the highest candidate on the Grant State ticket has not received over 13,000 majority, and that the av erage majority ia much below this.” Hutton, the antiquarian, whose knowledge of books was deemed remarkable, was slew ;to learn when a boy. He was sent to school to a certain Mr. Meat. He thus tells his experience : “My master took occasion to beat rav head against the wall, holding it by the hair, but he never could beat any learning into it ” Sheridan found it hard to acquire tho elements of learning. His mother deemed it her duty to in form his teacher that he was not bright to learn like other boy6. Adam Clark, was pronounced by his father to be “a grievous dunce,” and Dr. Chalmers was pronounced by his teacher to be an “incorrigible” one. Chatterton was dismissed from school by his master, who, tindiug himself unable to teach him anything in a satisfactory manner, settled it that the boy was “a fool.” Teachers are apt to becouio impatient over dull scholars, and predict of them that they will never come to anything.
