Tlie Golden Side.
There is many a rose in the road ol life,
If we would only stop to take it ;
And nmnv a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it j
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whoso beautiful trust ne’er fuiieth,
The grass is green and the flowers arc bright,
Thtiogh the winter storm prevailcth.
Better to hope, though tho clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted ;
For the sweet blue sky will still peep through
When the ominous clouds are rifted;
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morning ;
And the darkest hour, so tho proverb goes,
Is the hour before tho dawning.
There is many a gem in tho path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser’s hoarded treasuro ;
It may be the love of a little child
Or a mother’s prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggars grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling ;
And to do God’s will with a ready heart
And hands that arc prompt and willing,
Thnn to snap tho delicate, minute threads
Os our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for tangled ends
And sit and grievo and wonder.

Disgusted. —Hon J. A. Boyce, of Cincin
nati, heretofore a prominent Radical, in a
coinmunioation to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
says:
“I have severed myself from the Republi
can party, because it is an organized hypocri
sy, a shuffling dissimulation, a fraud, a delu
sion and a snare, a combination of grasping
fanatics, fattening on the vitals of the wealth
producers and wealth distributors of the
country.”
Mr. Boyce evidently understands tho organ

Among the noted receipts by express, Sat

Capt. Allen, who manages Jordan & Lock

two thousand pounds to the acre, and wc learn
that the patch will probably yield two more
pickings of an equal amount—making 36,00)

Shocking Death ol Judge Olcott.
On the 20th of August Inst the dead body
of a man, unknown'in those parts, was found
near Ellicott City, Md., under circumstances
indicating that his death was caused by expo*
sure and wnnt of food. lie was respectably
and comfortably clad, and bore othor appear
ances of having moved in good society, and
as there was a suspicion of his being an es
caped lunatic, the body was kindly cared for,
and pains were taken to advertise the circum
stances under which it was found. We now
hear from Maryland that it has been identified
bv General E. M. Gregory, of Philadelphia,
and Benjamin F. Haddock, of Chicago, ns the
body of Judge F. R. Olcott, for some months
past Judge of the Hustings Court of Rich*
mond.
Judgo Olcott was appointed to the bench by
General Caoby in May last. He was of
Northern bjjrth, a brother-in-law of the eele*
brated Rufus Choate, and a son of a lawyer of
eminence and wealth. For twenty years he
was a resident of Louisiana, and for a short
time was a judge"of the Supreme Court of that
State, retiring from the position to go North
at the outbreak of the war.
Early this Summer Judge Olcott went to
the White Sulphur Springs, where his conduct
gaye rise to whispering doubts of his sanity.
These doubts were confirmed by subsequent
occurrences on his return to Richmond. When
last heard from alive he was in Baltimore en
route to Chicago to visit his wife. Failing to
reach his destination, his friends telegraphed
to various points in Mnrylaad and Virginia,
but were unable to hear anything of his
whereabouts until the finding of the dead body
at Ellicott City led those interested to visit
that place, with the result above stated.
Paper Collars,
The following are the processes through
which a piece of paper has to pass in order
to become a fashionable article of wearing
apparel, as a colar or cuff for a lady or gently*
inan : First, the paper must be made ex
pressly for the object designed, and prepared
with direct reference to its weight, strength,
color, and flexibility ; it has to be linen finish*
ed, by having applied to it a coating of whiting
mixed with glue and passed over hot cylinders
to give it the requisite polish ; then it is eov*
erad with a linen cloth, or in some cases has
the facsimile of cloth engraved upon it, and
the impression of the linen is thus transferred
to the paper. Next the paper is divided into
sheets or rolls of the required dimensions, and
cut by machinery into the proper shape for
collars or cuffs. The machine also makes
button holes, and creases the collar where it
is to be folded ; a girl folds the end of tho
collar and passes it between rapidly revolving
wheels, which cither fold it or roll it into its
curved form, as may be desired. If the collar
is to have the button holes patched, as it is
called, it is necessary, before it is rolled to
have three small oval peices of perforated
cloth affixed, which covers the holes and gives
them additional strength. The eolar or cuff
must also go through a machine for finishing
the edge, whether that border is to represent
ordinary stiching or is to imitate a raised eord
or tuck.
Washing Dat to re Abolished. —lt seems
almost impossible that the ingenuity of man
or woman can devise a plan by which this blue
day shall be effaced from the domestic calen
dar, but it is nevertheless true that an experi*
mont is to be made by the residents of a town
in Massachusetts which, it is believed, will
completely redeem Monday from the odium
which is attached to it, as the day of picked
up dinners, poorly dusted rooms and general
household demoralization. This innovation is
to be accomplished by the joint ownership of
some twenty families in a laundry which is to
bo erected in a lot contiguous to tho residences
of those who expect to enjoy the benefits
which it will confer. It is thought that with
the improved appliances for cleaning olothes,
the movoment will be an economical one.
while the work which it will .save, and the
petty annoyance incident to soap suds and
boiling water, thus obviated, will bo very
great.
The Wilmington, N. C., Journal says: “ In
this State and South Carolina the crops have
certainly been injured from twenty five to
thirty three and perhaps fifty per cont. Wo
know of not a single county which will make
a full crop. We have thus stated why the
crop cannot be large. It has never been esti
mated at over three millions of bales. If it
reach two million five hundred thousand, that
will be the very outside figures. The planter
should know wbat he can calculate on. He is
the sufferer whenever there is a mistake. For
some months cotton has fluctuAcd in price in
New York from 33 to 35 cents per pound. The
factories both in England and this country
have been running on short time for almost
the whole of this period.
The Great Bridge across rn* Ohio River.
—On Thursday the largest span of any truss
bridge in the United States was completed on
the great bridge across the Ohio river at Lou
isville, which is destined to connect the Ken
tucky and Indiana shores. The bridge itself
will be, when finished, (and the engineer in
charge expects to turn over his contract for
the building some time in November,) one
of the most splended structures of the kind in
this or any other country. This last spnn
covers three hundred and seventy feet, and is
a marvel of engineering skill.

Remarkable Railroad Feat.
Not long since the Missouri Pacific Railroad
Company performed a feat which is entitled to
rank among the extraordinary ones in the his*
tory of railroads. This was no less than the
chnnging of their entire track from St. Louis
to Leavenworth—a distance of 318 miles—to
the narrow gauge in sixteen hours 1
The track was formerly 4 feet 6 inches in
width, and it became desirable to alter it to 4
feet 8$ inches, so that it would conform with
the tracks of other railroads, a number of
which connect at Kansas City. Extensive
preparations were made for tho change ; new
engines and cars were purchased, and many
cars Altered.
Everything was finally got in readiness, and
it was decided to commence the hureulean task
of altering the width of the track on Sunday
morning. Two hundred and seventy eight
men were ongaged in addition to the large
foroe in the employ of the oompany, and the
whole were detailed to do the work on different
sections of the road at the same time. The
work eommenoed at the Leavenworth end at 4
o'clock Sunday morning, and from St Louis
at 10 o’clock. The obange was made without
the losing of a train.—fin. Limit Repwb.
Retribution.
The Manchester, New Hampshire, Union,
speaking of Ex-Secretary of War Stanton,
says:
Those who hare seen Stanton at Wolfebor
ough describe him as a mere wreck. If they
would say wretch they would better desoribe
him. Remarking upon this, the Rocbeeter, N,
Y., Union saye “ that retribution laye a heavy
hand at last upon this heartless, petty despot
who strutted his hour upon tbe stage, dreseed
in a little brief authority, and who now finds
himself despised and shunned by his fellow
men. How he must fairly hate himself when
in solitnde he reflects npon the cruel fate of
tho thousands of Federal soldiers who were by
his orders left to starve, rot and die in the
prison pens of the South—when he thinks of
the answer he made Col. Streight, who escaped
from Andersonville and called to plead with
him for mercy on the victims of his fiendish
policy, viz : “ I’ll be d—d if Pm going to ex
change sound men for skeletons.” We trust
that Stanton will lire a thousand years with
his coward conscience to confront him.— Ex.
The Pneumatio Dispatch System is reoeiving
attention among the scientific men in this
country. By some it is pronounced impracti
cable, wild, visionary, while others maintain
that it can be made of practical value in the
speedy transmission of goods of all descriptions
from point to point. Alfred Brisbane has
caused more than usual interest on this subject
by his new plan of enclosing substances to be
pneumatically propelled in air tight globes
which are to fit into aerial cylinders, and thro’
the latter be sent at a speed at whose minimum
rate, he submits, will be two hundred miles an
hour. The gentleman profosses, by his globu
lar device, to have secured an almost total re
duction of friction. The distanoe between
Newark and Jersey City is to be the first pneu
matically connected in this manner, and the
experiments made between those two places
will determine, to some extent at least, the
merit of Mr. Brisbane’s plan.
The Richmond Dispntch says : 11 We learn
from the Warrenton, N. C., Present, that four
negro women and one negro man were sent
enced, at the last Warrenton County Court, to
banishment to South Carolina, with a verbal
promise of a heavy penalty should they ever
show their faces in North Carolina. A similar
punishment was imposed at the late term of
the Edgecombe County Court. How will the
Palmetto State like that? She may retaliate
if she, likes with interest, by banishing her
rogues to North Carolina.”
We beg to say that a hearty welcome will
be given these immigrants if they will promiee
to vote the Radical ticket whenever they have
an opportunity. We cannot balance things by
banishing oar rogues to North Carolina, be
cause, if we did so, what on earth would be*

A Model Congressman.
Tho metropolitan district of South Carolina
is to be represented in Congress by a man who
furnishes a capital illustration of the bonutie*
of universal negro suffrage. Tho mar* elected
in the Charleston Distriot is accused by Atder*
man Mackey, tho President of tho Union
League, of being “ a thief, a forger, and a
murderer.” Tho charges of Mackey, as pub*
lished in tho Charleston News, are as follows i
1. That C. C. Bowen stoic a valuable set of
faro checks from a gambler in this city, which
checks were sold by Bowon in New York,
where they were identified and ultimately re*
covored by the owner.
2. That C. C. Bowen was imprisoned in
Castle Pinckney in 1867, by Gov. Soott, then
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’a
Bureau, on the charge of misappropriating thw
funds of the Union League.
3. That C. C. Bowen, the Captain of tho
Twenty-first Battalion, Georgia Cavalry, was
tried by court martial, found guilty, and cash*
iered for forging pay rolls, tbe result being
announced in General Orders from Gen. Beam
regard’s headquarters.
4. That C. C. Bowen was arrested upon tho
charge of having planned the murder of 001.

Misplaced Confidence.
One oold evening, during a great revival of
the colored people of Zanesville, Ohio, tho
ebony expounder was dolivoring a powerful
appeal on “faith,” the groans and sobs of his
hearers giving token of its effect upon their
impressible natures. The tears stood upon
his dark cheeks, his voice quivered like dis
tant thunder, while he emphasized his words
by vigorous blowj upon the table. In tho
midst of all this, the stove, agitated by bio
jarring blows, rolled over on tho floor. Bro
Lewis, the high man of the church, had located
himself near the comforter of his shins. lie
stood irresolute, when tho voice of his minister
came to him, laden with faith : “Pick up de
stobe, Brudder Lewis—pick up do stobe ; de
Lord won’t let it burn you !” Brother Lewis’
mind was filled up with miracles of faith ho
had heard that evening, so ho yielded to the
appeal of his preacher, grabbed tho hot stove,
but dropped it instantly, and turning his re
proachful eyes to his disciples of faith, replied,
“De debble he wont.”

the young man was ushered into eternity.

An ex-editor having tried merchandising

connecting himself with a circus.
