Bcecher on Newspapers.
In a sermon, at his church Henry
Ward Beecher, said :
I think that the newspaper sprang
up as a casual thing—a thing unde
termined : but the newspaper is be
coming one of the great institutions
of modern civilization, and its ex
perience has been as human charac
ter has been, to come up through
mistakes and blunder?. All we can
ask of these great peripatetic legisla
tors of public opinion is that Fiey
should conform to disclosures of
right as they go along. I think that
they are conforming gradually to
the experience of the world and go
ing through a process of evolution
towards a more perfect state.
merly the regnant idea of a newspa
per was news, and that whatever was
news should go in ; hut there is a
news that springs from the top of
the head, from the intellectual facnl
ties and news which comes from the
physical industries of life as the re
sult of the will, and news which
springs from the strife of the pas
sions, in which quarrels and all sorts
of violence are developed. There is
news which springs from the appe
tites, and news which springs from
each and every tiling, in their high
est forms, in their intermediate forms
and in their lowest forms. There
are many of our great journals that
are steadily every year sorting their
news refusing to put in as news very
startling things, but which are be
low the equatorial line of propriety.
If the newspaper of to-day is at fault
the fault is with yon. I do not
blame the editor altogether, although
his blame is something, but you that
take that paper, because you like to
see what is in it : you that don t
like to let it go into' your families,
but will read it at your place of bus
iness ; von that disdain the man that
conducts it, and would not touch
him—you it is that gives the power
to the newspaper. What would you
think of the man that should take
his nightly ride on a muck cart and
should keep opening the lid and
smelling of the garbage ; but here
this pichingand prying and stewing
in the drippings of men's passions
and appetites goes on day after day ,
and you like it ; you talk about it
and damn the man that puts it be
fore you. Is this manly ? Is this
right ? When the market fails
the goods wont be manufactured any
longer.
Bismarck and hi* Cigar.
During the great war between
France and Germany Prince Bis
marck, “the man of blood and iron,
was the actor in an incident of a
most suggestive and gentle nature.
The Prince is said to be a smoker ar
dentlv attached to the “weed.” He
is reported to have said : “The val
ue of a good cigar is best understood
when it is the last you possess and
there is no chance of getting anoth*
er.” Most devotees ot tobacco in any
form seem to delight in their bond
age to it, and to be miserable if de
prived of it. It is said that Bis
marck had cherished his last cigar
all through a battle, in glad anticipa
tion of the luxury in sore store for
he suddenly and gladly deprived
himself of the smoke-giving solace.
In his own words, “I painted in glow
ing colors in my nimd the happy
hours when I should enjoy it after
the victory. But I had miscalcula
ted the chances. A poor dragoon
lay helpless with both arms crushed,
murmuring for something to refresh
him. I felt in my pockets, and
found that I had only gold, and that
would be of no use to him. But.
stay; I h'd still my treasured cigar !
I lighted this for, him, and placed it
between his teeth. You should have
seen the poor fellow’s grateful smile.
I never enjoyed a cigar so much as
that one I did not smoke.’’
A Remarkable Peiriiicatiou.
Judge E. <J. Bronaugh has attach?
ed to his watch chain a little amulet
or charm, which aside from its pe
culiar history, is very pretty in itself
t is nothing more or les than a pet
rified rosebud. During the rebellion
a young nephew of judge Bronaugh,
while in one of the Southern States,
wrote home to his mother, and in
closed in the letter a rosebud. The
letter arrived safely at its destina
tion, and after having pursued, was
laid aside with the rosebud in a draw
er, where it remained for eight or
nine months. When the drawer
was overhauled and the letter again
brought to light, the rosebud it con
tained was found to be petrified.
The Judge’s aunt recently sent the
stone to him at this place, and he
placed it in the hands of a jeweler
for the purpose of having it fitted to
carry on his watch chain. The pet
rification was so very hard that while
trying to drill a Hole in it two or
three tools were broken before the
object was accomplished. It is a
perfect rosebud, and so well preserv
ed that the finest fibers can he seen.
What peculiarities of air, earth, or
water could have changed the tender
rosebud into a hard, almost diamond
like substance in the slioit space of
nine months is to us a mystery.—

Canada Bill.
To show how a man may live and
obtain ill-gotten gains, and yet die
too poor to pay expenses we copy
the following, which gives the life of
a glam her. It will be well to reau
and reflect :
“Canada Bill” died of consump
tion m the County Hospital. Ilis
funeral was probably the strangest
ever seen in the Charles Evans Cem
tery. for there were neither tears
nor women nor minister about the j
grave that now holds the remains of
a man who died penniless ; n a strange
land, but had the name one time of
having won nearly half a million dol
dals at three-card monte.
Ilis b >dv was brought to the un
dertakers'.* room in this < itv. and
thence taken to the cemetery, where
a dozen or more representatives of the
sporting fraternity of Heading had i
congregated about the grave to do
the last honors for the “old sport”
who had won money on nearly every
railroad in the United States east of
the Rocky Mountains.
After the hearse approached the
grave and the walnut colli n had been
taken out and placed on a bier, the
question was asked whether the re
mains were in it. The undertaker
guessed that they were, still there.
“Unscrew the lid,” the master of
ceremonies ordered. “Bill .was in
many a tight box and he worked him
self out somehow or other, and it's
no dead sure thing that he ain’t got
out on the trip to the cemetery.’’
lyhile they were taking off the lid
it was noticed that the screws were
not solid silver. One of the mourn
ers remarked that Bill’s game had
not been one of the squarest, but he
guesed there were tricks in all trades
as well as the monie players.’ The
corpse was found in the coffin. The
men had made arrangements with
one of their acquaintances to read a
prayer or a sort burial service at the
grave, but he came not. The wind
was raw and chilly, and after the lid
had been again screwed on orders
were given that the iuteriment shouH
be made.
Canada Bill’s proper name was Wil*
liam Jones. He was an English
Gypsy, and came to this country sev
enteen years ago. ITe was a horse
trader, and finally began to play at
three-card monte. He drifted into
Kingston, Canada, where ho got the
name of Canada Bill. lie operated
all over the North during the war.
and after the war closed he was on
the Red River and on the Mississip
pi. lie was always dressed in a very
slouchv manner, and cared nothing
for good clothes or jewelry of any
kind, lie won thousands of dollars
on the Mississippi, in the disguise
of a planter. At one time he had a
livery stable, and kept two hundred
negroes at work clearing swamp land
at the mouth of the lied River. Sub
sequently Tic operated at moiueon the
Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific
Railroads, running out from Kansas
City and Omaha. 110 became infa
mously known all over the country.
All the tricks and new points inj
“monte” were invented by “Canada
Bill.” He always traveled as a coun
tryman. He is said to have won
thousands of dollars on the trains,
and as soon as he had won it he lost
it at playing faro. His friends say
that in Chicago alone, in 1874, he
won $15,000 in three months, and
yet he died penniless, and had to be
buried at theexpense of an old friend.
He was about forty years of age.
Lttti.e Things.—lt is said that
when Tlirowaldsen returned to his
native land with those wondeiful
works of art which have made his
name immortal chiseled with patient
toil and glowing inspiration, in Ita
ly, the servants who unpacked them
scattered upon tlie ground the straw
which was wrapped around them.
The next summer, flowers from the
gardens in Rome were blooming in
the streets of Copenhagen, from the
seeds thus born and planted byacci*
dent. So Christ’s lowly, quiet work
ers unconsciously bless the world.
They came out every morning from
the presence of God, and go to their
business of their household work,
and all day long as they'toil they drop
gentle words from their lips, and
scatter little seeds of kindness about
them; and tomorrow flowers from
the garden of God spring up in the
dusty streets of earth, and along the
hard paths of toil on which their feet
tread.
Donn Piatt solved some time
since the conundrum as to why so
many stylish youths rushed out of
the theatre just before tlie closing of
the last scene, thereby disturbing
those who wished to enjoy the whole
by stating that tlie fashionable look
ing masculines were coachmen and
footmen who had slipped in to see the
play and hurried out so as to be on
hand when their employers came out.
Therefore, says a Capital correspond
ent, I have concluded that those who
go to church to amuse themselves,
annoy others, and go noisily out
when the music is over, must be ser
vant girls and dining room servants
who, dressed in the clothes of their
masters and misstreses, are out for
an airing and arc oblidged to hurry
home by a certain time.
Don’t sit down and say, “damn
the Dutch.” Do like they do. Get
up and go to work. If things ain’t
lively enough, put your shoulder to
the wheels of commerce and trade and
aid in getting the road wagon of old
fogyism out of the mire. Hitch tlie
mule to energy in the shafts, take
tlie whip of enterprise in your hand,
and make the dust fly along the road
of progress. Get up, dod blast your
lazy hides, advertise your business,
let people throughout the country
know who you are and what you’ve
got to sell, and, our word for it,
you’ll have something else to do and

dust with a feather brush, and wipe
carefully with a soft chamois skin or
fine.linen cloth, very slightly dam
pened. If a little spotted or dull,
a drop of oil on the chamois will re

Senator Horton t>eml.
Thursday uights dispatches an
nounced the death of Oliver P. Mor
ton, the apostle of Republicanism in
the \Y est. Tlie greatest partisan
of the age has shuffled off the mortal
coil. The worst enemy of the South
is no more. It is uot becoming in
ihe South to rejoice that death has
removed her greatest enemy, but it is
candor to say that she sheds no tears
at his departure. If he had been an
houest adherent of principles, the
case would have been different, and
wc could have foigiven him in a
measure as we did Horace Greely.
But Morion was the man to adopt
anv policy, or advocate any princi
ple thatwould maintain the supremacy
of his party. He was of the order of
statesmen, who appealed to the laser
elements in man. He stirred the
passions and not the re asm of his
fellow men. He considered the end
regardless of the lueaus. Tie would
override the Oonsi tuition in order to
cuect party success, lie would keep
alive dead issues to the detriment ot
the country at laige iu older to main
lain his party. As he was a partisan
and loved Rome less and Morton
more, his name cannot go down to
posterity as apa i riot and a sPPes
man. He must occupy’ the page in
history, allotted to extreme partisans.
We cannot be so liberal as to believe
be was sincere in the belief that a us
toration of the South to her control in
the atfa'rs of the General Government
would result se.ionsly iO the Union.
We cannot believe that nnylhing,
higher than parly success, led him to
urge and secure the adoption of a
policy destructive of the South. If
he had no higher ai n, why should the
South shed tears, Why should she
even feel serious at his departure?
He certainly misdirected the great
gifts of nature. He was created a
tiller of men. Not favored as many
men have been with*superior adyan
ges in education and refinementt, ho
possessed the faculty of controlling
men that made him a ruler.
The following sketch embraces the
record of his public services:
Oliver P. Morton, United States
Senator from Indiana, was born in
Wayne county in that State, August
4th, 1823. lie was educated at Mi
ami Un*versity, and was admitted to
the bar in 1847, being then in his
twenty-filth year. In 1852 he became
a Circuit Judge in Indiana, and in
1860 was elected Lieutenant Govern
or. Becoming Governor in 1861, he
occupied this position duriug the war
remaining the State Executive unt ; i
1865. In 1870 ho was offered the
position of United States Minister to
England by President Giant but de
clined the honor. lie served as Uni
ted States senator f r om Indiana from
1867-73, and 1873 was re-elected, and
it was this position that he held at
the time of his death. His term
would have expired March 4th, 1870.
Senator Morton was a staunch Re
publican and was Chairman of tire
Senate Committee of Privileges and
Elections. He was a member of the
late Electorial Comission, chosen by
tire Senate Republicans, with Messrs.
Edmunds, of Vermont, and Freling
htiysen, of New Jersey, to represent
them upon that tribunal.
Tlie Itcgro Vote.
The advocates of Millcdgeville as
the capitol seem willing to pick up
anything to effect their desired result.
For this very’ reason men, who are
not decided as to how they* will vote
should 1k? suspicious They’ clamor at
he highest breath that Bullock and his
renegades and the negroes carried the
Capitol to Atlanta. It does not mat
ter who carried it there, Tlie ques
tion now is where shall it be in the
future. Where is the liest place for
it, Atlanta or Milledgcville.
The advocates of Millcdgeville in
one breath denounce the negro for
voting it to Atlanta and in the next
breath they ask him to vote for Mil
ledgeville, where is the consistency’?
It shows as wc stated, that they are
willing to take up anything that will
br>ng about the result they so much
desire.
Preserving Eggs. —A correspon
dent of the English Mechanic says :
In 1871-72 I preserved eggs so per
fectly that after a lapse of six months
they were mistaken when (trough!
t< tin* table for fresh laid eggs, and
I believe |hey would have k- pt equal
ly good for twelve months. Alv
mode of preservation was to varnish
the eggs as soon after they were laid
as possible with a thin copal varnish
taking care that the whole of the
shell was covered with the varnish.
I subsequently found that by paint-
I ing tlie eggs with fresh albumen,
beaten up with a little salt, they'
were preserved equally as well and
for as long a period. After varnish
ing or painting with albumen, I lay
the eggs upon rough blotting palter,
asl found that when allowed to rest
till dry upon a plate or on the table,
the albumen stuck so fast to the ta
ble or plate as to take away a chip
out of the shell. This is entirely ob
viated by the use of blotting paper.
I pack these eggs in boxes of and
bran.
The Canadians are exceedingly
happy over the harvest this year.
The Monetary-Times gives the. figures
of the yield as 30,000’000 bushels of
wheat; 1(1,000,000 bushels of barley,
and puts the course grains at 48,
000,000 bushels.
Chicago is trying the plan of
“still’’ alarms for fires the chief of
the (ire department has allowed no
bell-ringing since the recent riots,
and the plan works well. Great
crowds at fires are prevented, and
better w’ork is done by the unhinder
ed firemen.
