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.— Portlcnil Oregonian. 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 think about this fall than to sit around and wait for business to cause and “cuss the Dutch.” —Ex To Cleanse Chuomos. —When cliomos require cleaning remove all dust with a feather brush, and wipe carefully with a soft chamois skin or fine.linen cloth, very slightly dam pened.

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. NO. 40.
