The Radical party lias “been

lalf a million dollars from the Phila
delphia city treasury, one hundred and
fifty thousand from the Pennsylvania
State Treasury, and a quarter of a mil
lion from the Freedman’s National Sav
ings Bank, wan all that was reported last
week.
We have it upon the authority of
the Buffalo Express, that “Alexander H.
Stephens says he never yet has seen a
single article of his republished in a sin
gle Radical paper!”
Probably he never has, for there are
articles that are not worth republishing,
even in Radical papers.—Courier-Journal.
What then, Mr. Courier-Journal, comes
of your prophecy, that Mr. Stephens’ ar
ticle of the 19th September would be
republished in every Radical sheet in the
country ? Is this the way you get out
of it ? Has a single Radical sheet yet
republished it ? If so, which one?

THIS LOCK OF SILVER HAIR.
EY H. L r.
Put away from our sight that vacant chair!
It vexes grief. Hide It away;
And hido those garments of russet and gray—
. Angels have robed her In light to-day.
Ah, UtUo we dreamed to miss her thus!
When she sat there day by day—
Wo thought not how sad it would be for us
To know that she was gone for ayo;
But now with bcart-schc, and tear-dimmed eyes,
We fold tho robes she used to wear,
And our tenderest feelings now baptize
One soft tress of her silver hair.
Did we mingle grief in her cup of years.
When she felt, liko a withered tre.-,
AU useless beside tho young she had reared
And nurtured from infancy?
Did we lightly heed that sensitive heart,
So shrinking and gentle with age ?
Did wo blurr with her spirit's silent tears
One lino of her life’s lost pago ?
Alas 1 for the sorrowful memories
That make our mourning hard to bear,
And besprinkle so fast with burning tears
This silken lock of silver hair.
Her speech bore many an antique phrase
That tickled much tho youthful car;
And she reverenced many ancient ways
That made her manners odd and queer;
And we deemed that her soul went back in dreams
To pleasant friends of long ago,
When happy lights o'er all her face would pass,
And lipB would move in whispers low.
But angels, mayhap, in life’s eventide,
Discoursed with her of blessings rare,
And Heavon’s wonderful recompense
For cares that bleached this silver hair.
Ah! many times within this room, I ween,
I’ll watch the sunlight on the wall,
And hearken to tho children’s voices ring
Blithe young Joy adown the open hall,
And turning hungry eyes upon the spot,
Sacred as her accustomed place,
I’ll sadly feel of home how dear apart
Went from us with her blessed face;
And evermore, for her dear memory’s sake,
A charm each aged form will bear,
• And wondrous beauty lurk for me
In every lock of silver hair.

BOOK NOTICE.
The New American Readers.—The
latest improvements in the art of induct
ing a beginner into the knowledge of
letters, appear to be signally illustrated
in this new series of Readers, just pub
lished by E. H. Butler & Co., Philadel
phia. Really, “experience has by usage
struck out many inventions.” It is now
understood that “we should teach spell
ing through reading, and not reading
through spelling;" that “a child should
be taught to call words at sight firsb,”
and that “analysis into letters and sylla
bles should be subsequent steps.” By
the ingenious application of this impor
tant secret in the contrivance of the
young learner’s incipient lessons, and by
combining the advantages also of the
phonic system and object-teaching with
the old ABO method of our ancient
spelling books, the authors of these five
successive readers have contributed an
important gain to both the teachers and
pupils of our primary schools. Success
to an enterprise which so alleviates the
labor and delights the faculties of the
juvenile pupil as these elegant, new and
original books seem well designed to do.

All Unsettled Item.
When the city of Atlanta contracted
with H. L Kimball to finish and fit up
the Opera House building for the use of
the Legislature for ten years, agreeing to
pay him a yearly rental of $10,000, the
city authorities advanced to him $30,000
in city bonds, to assist him in finishing
the building in good style and ample
time. This was a three years’ payment
of rent in advance, in order to enable
him to press the work vigorously.
When the Legislature purchased the
Opera House and the city paid its portion
of the purchase money, it was a part of
the agreement with Mr. Kimball that all
that portion of the bonds which were so
advanced tohini, not earned for rent up
to the time of sale, amounting to about
$19,000, should be returned to the city.
These bonds have never been returned,
though frequent application for the same
has been made.
Saturday came in as bright as a wed
ding day. The city was rejoicing in its
purity. The town clock, unembarrassed
by a guilty conscience, rang out the honr
of ten with a merrier peal, and aroused
His Honor from dreams, wherein he saw
the people mingling in harmony and
goodjwill; no bickerings and strife as in
days gone by. He sallied forth, radiant
with the idea of reform.
As we entered the Hall, where in former
times (“ah! that was in the long ago!”)
cnlprits were wont to be condemned,
we beheld a joyful spectacle. The place
looked
“Like a banquet hall deserted.”
There were Jonsen and Pat Fitzgib-
bons locked in a|fond embrace, uttering
not a word. All was solitary and silent.
Not another being was to be seen, save
His Honor, who, with fluttering pinions,
hovered over the scene, his brow beam
ing with a radiant halo of triumph over
vice and immorality.
The place was too ’sacred. We dared
not enter; we only looked in and were
overwhelmed with the spectacle. His
Honor was victorious, his enemies were
vanquished, and in his transfiguration
his mighty ally “ten and costs,” had
been embalmed the brightest jewel in
his diadem of glory!
To Break Dirt tills Morning.
We are told that work on the railroad
from Griffin to Madison will be com
menced this morning. It is said that a
force of three hundred hands or more
from the Brunswick and Albany and oth
er roads below, which Mr. Kimball has
been building, have been brought up
and will be put on the work; and that
the intention is to have the ears running
to Jackson in two months—so they say.
That is a brilliant programme—hope it
will be earned ont.
A little boy nine years old, a member
of the “Band of Hope,” was at a dinner
party a short time ago, and those present
wanted to test the strength of his prin
ciples. A half sovereign was put into the
bottom of a tumbler, which, was then half
filled with ale.
“Now,” said they, “if you’ll drink that
you shall have what is at the bottom.”
“No,” replied the noble little fellow,
“nor a dozen half sovereign shall make
me 1 reak my pledge.”
“Surely the ‘root of the matter’ ” was
in him. That noble child will make a
noble man.
Topeka, October 22.—In the United
States District Court, to-day, three men

Being Useful.
I will tell you, Allan, how a little child
can be useful:
He can pick up a pin from the floor.
He can play with his little sister.
He can tell mamma when baby cries.
He can reach the stool that she may
put her foot on it.
He can hold the cotton when she winds
it. He can teach, a little child his letters.
And he can make his mother happy by
being good.

'Weston, the Walkist.
The celebrated walkist was in our city
on Saturday, and proceeded to Macon,
where he has been engaged by the Mayor
to exhibit his pedestrian ability, which
has created so mnch astonishment all
over the world.
After walking at Macon, he will go to
the Mississippi State Fair; from thence
to the Fair in Savannah, and from thence
to Cincinnati.
Mr. Weston says he is mnch pleased
with the South. He never before was
south of the Ohio river, and had, as a
great many persons in the North, in
herited unfavorable views of the habits
and manners of Southern people. He
is agreeably surprised to find everybody
in the South polite and civil, and the
great masses of the people having the
appearance of being intelligent, decent
in their habits, and but few who appear
to be depraved or ruffianly.

NEW YORK.
A Modern. Peripatetic.
Some evenings since while we were re
flecting on the four great reforms since
the beginning of the world, viz: Socrates’,
"Mohammed’s, Luther’s and His Honor’s,
we were startled by the words of the
old Greek philosopher, “gjiotJd sauton.”
After some search we fonnd upon the
street comer a modem disciple of Socra
tes, who, like that ancient preacher, was
preaching to the wayfarers as they passed.
He was habited in the costume of a poor
Georgia farmer. In place of the sandals
of his illustrious predecessor, monstrous
brogans served as a forum and pro
tector to his feet. His clothing had none
of the graceful folds of the tunic, but
there was that about his countenance that
impressed one with his zeal in his new
designs of reforming the world.
We failed to learn all the tenets of his
religion, and still fewer of the theories
of his philosophy; but he was learned in
the history of the world, its religion and
philosophy, and discoursed with the elo
quence of his forerunner. He denounced
Masonry, and traced its origin to the
“Reign of Terror,” when Reason was en
throned as king, with the “square and
compass” as the exponent of his reign.—
Rollins, de Tocqueville, Gibbon and
other historians were as familiar as house
hold words. Badges of any and all secret
societies he considered as an emblem of
a league and conspiracy against Christ,

in what manner he came to his death,
and perhaps the mystery may never be
cleared up. A peculiar sadness attaches
to this severe domestic affliction in the
bright promise of the manner and lovea
ble character of this young man. He
had been, but little more than a year ago,
graduated at Princeton College with
higher honors than had ever before been
won in that institution by the most dis
tinguished of its alumni. The interven

great part at Cambridge, England, where
he won the prize in Mathematics,

^ Gen. J. D. Imboden, a distinguished
Confederate officer, in an article on “R e _
minescences of Lee and Jackson,” pu h.
1 fished in the Galaxy for November,
speaking of Gen. Lee, says.
Were it not for my aversion to contro
versy, I would here present what I ] lavo
reason to believe—though I do not affirm
that I know positively—was his plan 0 f
the famous campaign of 1863, ending in
the disaster to us at Gettysburg. I know
enough, however, to express the convic
tion that the plan of that campaign was
not executed, and further, that°in my
opinion, it never yet has been made pub
lic, aud may not be until some other lead-
ing actors in tho war on our side have
passed away.
Congressman J. B. Beck reports to the
Louisville Ledger that the result of the
Kukiux Committee’s investigation at
Huntsville, was a complete vindication
of the false charges made by her.ene
mies. General Crawford, the United
States District Attorney and Commis
sioner, aud leading men of both parties
concur that no State in the Union ex
hibits a more satisfactory, law-abidin^
and peaceable condition. Even isolated
cases of disorders were substantiated
only by men who, for two dollars a day
would swear to anything.
The Cincinnati Enguirer says: “ On
Wednesday afternoon, two Sisters of
Charity, who had been in charge of tho
one hundred orphans which arrived from
Chicago in the morning, accompanied by
two prominent citizens, called upon
Mayor Davis, to obtain passes for the
Sisters to return to the city of Chicago.
The Mayor hesitated for a considerable
time in granting their request; but, be
ing urged by the gentlemen accompany
ing the Sisters, he finally concluded to
issue passes for their return. But to
show the spirit animating our worthy
Mayor, it is only necessary to give the
reading of the pass, as follows: ‘Pass
these two Catholics to Chicago.’ Being
thus insulted, the Sisters and their es
cort retired. The pass was shown at the
Archbishop’s residence, when the afore
said document was placed in an envelope
and politely returned to Mayor Davis.”

The day’s entertainment commenced
with
MR. LEE}
who was dazzled by the glittering bau
bles of a “Fifty-cents Store,” but desir
ing to invest only in a clay pipe, he was
invited to depart, which invitation was
pressed by some affecting threats. For
such hospitality, the “Fifty-cents Store”
was requested to make a donation of
“ten and costs,” in default of 1 a more
polite clerk.
MB. HICCUP
was christened so because of his inability
to utter any other articulate sound when
found gazing upon the “myriad stars that
span the heavenly vault.” For sneli mute
idolatry in a Christian land he confessed
his sins, and promised to join a Christian
Church.
MR. NASH
had been so completely astounded at the
tumult attending the Fair that he fell
over senseless. He had not recovered
when found by the police. He came
into Court with a penitent heart; said it
was very foolish of him; he would exer
cise more self-control until John Robin
son’s show came. He left, saying he
was going home and would go to work
right then. Jonsen then announced that
THE MINSTRELS
would commence their exhibition.
Mary had promised to share Moses
Lane’s lot, but after a few weeks of bill
ing and cooing she tried to dispossess
him of it entirely, when he waxed warm,
slammed the door in her face, &c., &c.,
for all of which they paid $10 each as a
remuneration for disturbance caused to
their neighbors, who were peaceably
sleeping..
JOE DOBBS
was charged with discharging fire arms
in the city limits. He testified that he
was killing his dog, whereupon the May
or discharged him and thanked him for
services so invaluable to suffering liu
inanity.
YOUNG AND OLD LOVE
was forcibly exemplified by the fond
devotion of Mr. Johnson, (an African
of some seventy summers) and his
“old man’s darling” of some seventeen.
Only four weeks of the honey-moon had
passed, when she, wearied of the mono
tony of married life and an old man’s
dotage, sought relief in the pleasant re
creation of “making his wool fly.” He
sought to divert her from this childish
amusement by lectures, and declared he
hurl tried to “demonstrate with her at de
hour of midnight, when everybody was
asleep.” Even this eloquence failed to
appease this childish propensity, and he
sought redress from His Honor, who, in
his magnanimity, honored them both
with an introduction to his man, Friday,
“ten and costs.”
