CALLERS AT THE HOUSE.
There were a great many cailers to-day
at the residence of the late general, includ
ing Gens. Schofield and Rosecrans and
Admiral Rodgers.
A large number of telegrams of condo
euca were received.
P. T. Sherman, son of the late Gen. Sher
man, sent the following from New York:
"The family of Gan. Sherman desire to
tender to tho relatives of Gen. Johnston
assurances of their profound sorrow and
sympathy.”
Bishop C. T. Quintard of the Episcopal
church iu Tennessee, an old comrade and
friend of Gen. Johnston, from Memphis
telegraphed: “Assure the immediate rela
tives of Gen. Johnston of my profound
sympathy. He was one of my dearest
friends. A prince among men has fallen.”

from a number of Gen. Johnston’s old com
rades-in-arms: “The death of Gen. John
ston causes extreme sorrow to his late com
rades and many admirers here, and they
beg to tender siuoere and heartfelt sympa
thy.”
SHERMAN’S REGARD FOR HIM.
In a conversation held by Gen. Johnston
with a near relative, a few days after the
funeral of Gen. Sherman, he said that ns he
was leaving Jersey City to return to Wash
ington, and just before the party who were
to go with Gen. Sherman’s body to St.
Louis were to leave, someone called to him.
Turning, he saw Tecumseh Sherman, who
said: “General, I have a message for you
from my f. thor. He said to me not long
before ha died that he wished me to say to
you that there was no man living for whom
he entertained such admiration and respect.”

this city. At the railroad station the body
will be received by the entire society and

There rests the body of Mrs. Johnston, and

husband will be laid to rest.
MARIIVa DRUNKEN FREAK.
It Proves That the White House Is
100 Lasily Accessible.
W ASHiNGTON.March 22.—Senator Vance’s
stepson really alarmed the occupants of the
white house very much last evening when
in his drunken delirium be climbed up on
the back porch and smashed in the window
of the red pari r. It did not take much
imagination to hint of a murderous crank
of the Guiteau order or possibly a crazy
member of the Mafia. The President
and Mrs. Harr,son were both startled,
but neither showed any more
than the nervousness natural to the
situation. While the two special officers
were wrestling with the intruder, who is a
well-trained and powerful athlete, and who
yelled like a madman, every roar could be
heard all over the house, and the sleeping
children were awakened. The President
was more concerned for Mrs. Harrison and
his dinne - guests, Mr. and Mrs B. K. Jami
son of Philadelphia, than for himself, and
as soon as he learned what the
trouble was he devo’ed himself to
allaying their apprehensions. After the
Iu 't. l " 3 k taken young Martin away
the President gave orders which will make
it more diaioult shan it has been
for strangers to get up on the
south porch, or indeed into the
grounds back of the house. He realizes
that while the intrusion of last night was
merely a drunkard’s finale, it showed what
a sober man With a malicious intent could
do. Asa matter of fact the white house is
entirely too accessible, espeoially at night.
INGSESOLL ON BARRE TT.
The Eloquent Orator Pays Hia Dead
Friend a Fretty Tribute.
New York, March 22.—T0-night before
an audience that crowded the Broadway
theater CoL Robert G. Ingersoll delivered
the last of a series of lectures for the benefit
of the New York Press Club building fund.
His subject was “Shakespeare,” and be
opened with a eu'ogyof the late Lawrence
Barrett. “Lawrence Barrett was my
friend and I was his. He was
an interpreter of Shake ipeare, to
whose creations he gave flesh and blood.
He was the greatest tragedian of our tune,
next to Edwin Booth. He shunned the
questionable, vulgar and impure. Ho was
a thoughtful “Hamlet” an 1 an intense
“Othello” and the best ’.’Cassius” of the
century. One by one tha players leave the
stage and others take their planes. There is
nn pause—uo one knows what the next
scene is to be. Will this drama have an end
wheu the curtain falls at last, and will it
rise again on some other stage! Reason
says perhaps; Hope still wuispers yes.
Sadly I bid my friend farewell. I admired
the actor—l loved the man.” [Great ap
plause.]
Fire in the Muscogee Mill.
Columbus, Ga., March 22.—Fire broke
ont in t e waste room of the new Muscogee
mill at 9 o’clock to-night, and for a time the
safety of the entire magnificent mill build
ing was threatened. By quick and intelli
gent work the department soon had the
fire under control, and before 10 o’c ock the
flames bad been subdued. The loss of
property is small, and is fully covered by
insurance.
JHofning Jfetal
FEDERAL liquor taxes. *
Government Stamps Only a Receipt
and Not a License.
Washington, March 22.—Acting Secre
tary Nettleton of the treasury department
hat Issued a circular letter modifying the
form of government special tax stamp for
retail liquor dealers, so as to show that the
United States does not authorize the sale of
liquor contrary to state or municipal regu
lations. The letter says: “Letters are fre
quently received at the department stating
that in many parts of the country retail
liquor dealers claim to hold a permit or
lice .se from the United States for carrying
on their business; that iu many cases
where the local law prohibits public
drinking places the law is openly
violated by persons who claim to do busi
ness under at least the moral sanction of a
"federal license,” and that this fact, to
gether with the belief common among many
good citizens that the United States gov
ernment does, in fact, issue such licenses,
greatly retards the enforcement of whole
some restr.ctive laws and promotes dis
order. It should be unnecessary to state
that the United States government does not
issue a license or permit of any nature to
any person in any state to carry on the
business of a retail liquor dealer, and it is
difficult to understand bow any in
telligent citizen can be imposed
upon by the opposite claim. The
congress having levied a reveuue stamp tax
of 525 per aur.um on the business of a retail
liquor dealer, the commissioner of internal
revenue endeavors to collect this tax
wherever and by whomsoever the business
is carried on, but no semblance of permis
sion. express or implied. Is given by the
United States government in its revenue
laws or otherwise to begin or continue any
such business in any place contrary to local
legislation.”
Hereafter the following will be inscribed
on the face of the stamp to be issued
to retail liquor dealers: “This stamp
is simply a receipt for tax due the
government, and does not exempt the
bolder from any penalty or punishment
provided for bv the law of any state for
carrying on said business within such state,
and does not authorise the commencement
nor continuance of such business contrary
to the laws of such state, or in places pro
hibited by the municipal law.”
KEYSTONE BANK TROUBLE?.
They are Said to Date Back at Least
Three Years.
Philadelphia, Pa., March 22.—Facts
are being brought to light which indicate
that the trouble in the Keystone National
bank, which was closed by the controller of
the currency on Friday last, dates far back
of the run inaugurated during the financial
stringency of last December. It was stated
to-day that President John Lucas, who
died in I°BB, owed the bank large sums of
money, and that this *faot was conoealed
from several of the directors, although
It own to others. President Lucas at tha
time of his death owned the Keystone
Bank building, a handsome structure, the
erection of which cost over $400,000. This
ho is said to have built with funds bor
rowed from the bank.
turned over to the bank.
Atjthe time cf the troub'e in December the
widow of Pres,deal Lucas turned the build
ing, which had been mortgaged by her late
husband for 4200,000, over to tbe board of
directors. It was announced that she bad
generously come to the assistance
of the distressed institution. The
building was immediately sold for
$175,000 over and above the mortgage.
After tbe December trouble had been
tided over, five of the directors, it is said,
learned for the first time that President
Lucas used the bank’s funds. These direc
tors were re-elected at the January
meeting of tbe stockholders, but refused
to serve, and their places have not
since been filled. One of the five is
said to have advanced tho bank SIOO,OOO at
the time of the run, and he also went securi
ty for $50,000 more liorrowed from the
Clearing House Association. The assooia
tion at the time advanced the banks $730,-
000, ail but $300,000 of w hicli has been paid
back. It is now thought that u heavy as
sessment of tbe stockholders will be neces
sary for the bank to resume.
FLIGHT OF THE SENATOR.
Railroads Suspected of Bringing About
Hie Departure.
Omaha, Neb., March 22.—Senator Tay
lor, who fled from Lincoln to avoid voting
on the Newberry maximum freight bill,
was in Council Bluffs last night. He ar
rived on a special train and arranged im
mediately to depart for tbe east. It is
supposed that he will conceal himself
in Virginia, as that is bis <>ld home.
TheJ sergeant-at-arms of the Senate has
asked for a requisition on the governor of
lowa in order to secure the fugitive if he it
caught in that state. He announces that he
will follow Senator Taylor to Virginia if
necessary. It is openly asserted tnat the
Burlington and Missouri, Union Pacific and
other roads are responsible for the sena
tor’s flight, hoping thereby to continue the
legislative deadlock and secure the defeat of
the measure. Numerous detectives are as
sisting in the hunt for tbe fugitive. The
deadlock at Lincoln continued throughout
to-day with no indication of the end.

WANAMAKER'SCUTRATES
WESTERN UNION ACCEPTING NO
PAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
Under the Postmaster General’s
Schedule it is Entitled to a Little
Over SIOO,OOO Per Year-It Claims
Nearly $50,000 More Under tbe Old
Rates-Stock-Jobbi g Buspect*d.
Washington, March 2&—The court of
claims will not hear >be arguments in the
suit of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany against the United Statee to recover
“reasonable rates” for its telegraph service
before October. For nearly two years
the Western Union has been send
ing the government telegrams for
nothing, or rather without accepting
the money which would have come to it
under tbe rates fixt'd by Postmaster General
Wanamaker. It seems likely to do so for two
years more. Any government officer hav
ing legal authority can send a telegram on
official business over the Western Union
lines wiihout paying for it. Tbe company
will not lot him pay for it if he offers to.
NO BILLS SENT IN.
Nor does it send any bills for telegraph
ing to any of the departments, although, as
a matter of courteey, it furnishes in some
oases a monthly memoranda of the number
of words sent. Meanwhile, of oourse, it is
keeping a strict account of allot the govern
ment business. At tue old rates it am rnnts
to about $160,000 a year. At tbe Wanamaker
rates it amounts to smoothing over SIOO,-
000 a year. Nine-tenths of it is work done
for tha weather bureau and signal service.
The object of the company in not
aoceptiug the money due at the Wana
maker rates, without relinquishing its
claim to the additional amount due under
the old rates, is not apparent.
STOCK, JOBBING SUSPECTED.
It is thought at the treasury department
to be connected with some stock, jobbing
scheme, perhaps to depress Western Union
stock and then to boom it with an extra
dividend to be paid out of tbe accumulation
due it, a large part of which can be col
lected from the the government quickly
at any time s Tha contention of the
Western Union iu the court of
claims is that the rate-i fixed by
the Postmaster General must be “reason
able,” while tbe assistant attorney general
maintains tbe Postmaster General has arbi
trary power to fix them as he pleases. Tbe
Western Union has refused to produce its
books to throw light ou the question of
actual cost. President Greene explained to
the assistant attorney general that he waß
afraid the books might be “misunderstood."
WANTED TO IMMOLATE HIMSELF.
A Crazy Negro Preaoher’s Attempt to
fceaoh Heaven.
Wichita, Kan., March 22.—Thomas
Law, a colored Baptist minister, who has
been here several weeks with tbe ostensible
object of collecting “$200,000,000’’ for
church purposes, became violently insane
to-day and was locked up, after having
made a futile effort to burn up himself and
wife and the dwelling they occupied. Until
now Law has been quite tractable, and no
danger was anticipated from him. This
morning he picked up a chair and struck
his wife down. Thea he got some kindling
and built a fire on the floor, all the time
preventing his wife fro n leaving the room,
and was preparing to send the entire outfit
up in smoke when discovered by some
neighbors.
FIRE FAILS ’ O HIDE MURDER.
A Tailor Killed by turglare and H!s
House Burned.
Pittsburg, Fa., March 22.—A special
from Franklin, Pa., says: “The residents
of N. P. Tobin, a loading merchant tai.or.
was destroyed by fire this morning aud his
remains were found in the debris. His
body was found in a crouching posilion in
the parlor, his head resting in a pool ot
blood, with finger marks on his throat, and
every indication that he was murdered.
Burglar tools were round about the place
and he probably discovered them at work.
He was a man of enormous physical
strength, and the theory points to several
tramps, who have been arrested. Two
years ago a great sensation was created by
the finding of the dead body of Mr. Tobin’s
daughter Mary in the water off Long Island
sound, near Clifton, and the mystery sur
rounding her violent death has never been
Cleared away,”

JAPANESE PRESBYTERIANS.
They Mike Changes in the Creed of
the Churc’i
Washington, March 22.—1n an official
report to thedepartment of state Mr. Swift,
late United States minuif r to Japan, says
that after long deliberation the native
Prsebyterian church iu that country has
seen fit to recast the time tried doctrine* of
the Prasbyterian church aud evea to make
additions So the sacred Apostolic creed.
Minister Swift says that ihe Presbyterian
church, like most of the other Protestant
Christian denominations established by
missionaries, has schieved such progress
in Japan, and the native memb r bip
has become so numerous and influential, as
to justify it iu controlling tha local organ
ization and government of the church, aud
this it has proceeded to do. This step car
ried with it definition of tbe faith itself.
For some time a oertiun spirit of energetic
restlessuees bad been observed to prevail
among the native congregations, evidenced
espoci lly in frequent (Ussout from foreign
teachers on doctriual point*. A tendency
to cmediate rather thin antagonize this
tendency induced the missionary merub -rs
of the synod to asaent to tue recent modifi
cation iu the caucus of belief.
A COMMUTES! ON REVISION.
With this view, a committee composed of
judicious and conservative men, believed to
have a controlling influence, was em
powered to report such ctiangos and modifi
cations in the articles of faitu as would, in
their judgment, afford maximum latitude
to the progressive sohool of the Japanese,
with minimum disturbance of ancient laud
marks. The committee recommended the
substitution of the twenty-fourth article of
faith of the English Presbyterian church
for those of Dort and Heidelberg,
then in force. The change failed
to meet the demand of the progressive Japa
n-so, and the report was rejected. The synod,
which met lose November, prepared and
adopted a standard of faith expressive ot
the strlot Japanese Christian opinion. An
addition was made to the Apostles’ Cread by
the insertion of a clause, in the following
words, as a preamble to the creed itself:
“The Lord Jesus Christ, whim we worship
us God, tbe only begotten Son cf God, for
usmen and for our salvation was made a
man and suffered. He offered up perfect
sacrifice for sin, and all who are one witti
him by faitn are pardoned and accounted
righteous; and faith in him, work
ing by love, purifies the heart.
“The Holy Ghost, who, with the Father
and Son, is worshiped aud glorified, re
veals Jesus Christ to tho soul, and without
his grace, a man being dead in sin, canuot
enter the kingdom of God. By him tho
prophets and apostles and holy men of old
were inspired, and he, in shaking in the
Scriptures of tbe Old and New Testaments Is
ths supreme and infallible Judge in alt
things pertaining unto the faith and living.
From these Holy Scriptures the ancient
church of Christ drew its confession, and
we, holding the faith once delivered to the
saints, join in that confession with praise
and thanksgiving.”
Minister Swift says.that to these changes
in the creed tbe American and Euro, ean
members of the synod assented, and tho
new creed was formulated and prom lgated.
He further says it is a frequent and com
mon claim made by native Christian con
that the spirit and moaning of Chris
tianity in its broader aud more universal
scope has never been properly compre
hended among the western nations, and that
the faith needed to be transported to Japan
for final development aud perfection. Con
sequently he apprehends that thii change
will be followed by other and more radical
changes.
OLD AZTEC MINi-8.
Interesting Archaeological Discoveries
in New Mexico.
Albuquerque, N. M., March 22.—A
group of old Spanish or Aztec mines have
recently been discovered at Las Piacitas
of this county, about twenty miles from
this city. So many years have elapsed
since these mines were worked that all trace
of their history has been lost, and the pres
ent inhabitants of the country know abso
lutely nothing about them. Prospectors
recently got on to the trail of what they
thought was something good, and by
pushing their investigation came up
on unmistakable evidences of what
were undoubtedly once rich work
ings. Avery extensive system of under-
f round work ha3 now been brought to light.
bn mineral discovered, while oot ot the
highest grade, is rich enough to pay hand
someiy, and runs generally from SSO to SBO
to the ton. Tbe remains have been found
in several places of what were once furnace*
for smelting the ores. There are also large
quantities of slag, and in several instancts
have been found what are clearly reman s
of implements used by the workmen. But
what will still be more interesting lo the
■general reader is that these explorations
have developed unmistakable evidence* of
tbe fact that the work on tho e
mines, which was performed, nob idy
knows how many centuries ago. was brought
to a summary conclusion by an earthquake
or general upheaval of some sort, for not
only are all the mine workings, smolters,
furnaces, etc., buried under some fifteen
feet of earth, but there has also been found
on the same level the ruins of what was
once an aqueduct for bringing water to the
camp from a source about ton miles distant.
The camp of Las Piacitas, referred to, is on
the eastern slope of the Sar.dia mountains,
about twenty miles from Albuquerque, and
promises to become one of the roost inter
esting fields of archaeological researches yet
discovered in this country.

Florida and Western railroad ran over two
negro men lying on the track near tho 195

The head of tbe man killed was cut entirely
off at tbe neck ad the scalp and the face
stripped off solidly, the naked skull being

No blame i* attached to the engineer, who
reversed his engine and applied tbe air
brakes and *ou..ded the whistle at once,
hut the distauce was too short to stop the
train.

other members of parliament. The speakers
met with a very hearty receptiou. Timothy
Healy asked where Mr. Parnell’s impudent
challenge was now. For two days they had
been engaged in hallooing but had failed to
make the fox break cover. Ho understood
that delay has arisen from Mr. Parnell's
going to Brighton to consult a lady. Mr.
Parnell has not got permission from this
Bright >n Bans'iee. Mr. Parnell's followers
complained that the challenge was impo

HER LIFE A WRECK.
After Fifteen Years Mary Pennock
Finds Hor Lover Wbb Honorable.
New York, March 21. —After many
years of struggle, deprivation and sorrow,
after the man she bad loved bod been torn
from her side by the cruel intriguing of a
jealous rival, Miss Mary Pennook of Green
port, L. L, is about to come into a princely
fortuno. The man she loved is dead, the
best years ot her life have been passed in
humble labors, and now, when old age is
approaching, sue finds at last that her sac
rifices were not availing.
The story is a simple enough one, but it is
full of pathos. During the war Miss Pen
nock, wbo was then young and prepossess
ing, became a nurse in oue of the union hos
pitals. She was refined and educated, and
was almost idolized by the sick and wounded
soldiers under her care. Iu the same hospi
tal there was a surgeon named Douglas, rom
Ohio. An attachment sprang up be.ween
them, and Lhey became engaged. The night
before they were t > be married a nogress
knocked at the young girl’s room. W ben
Miss Pennock opened tue door a mulatto
baby was put in hor arms. "If you
are going to marry tbe doctor you had better
tuke care of his child,’ said tbe woman.
The girl fainted. When restored to con
sciousness she refused to see her lover or
listen to explanations. Broken-hearted, she
left the hospital and went to her homo. Dr.
Douglas tried in every way to reach her
and convince her that she had wronged
him, but she would not see bun. Within a
snort time he died, leaving to her by will
all his property, ainounti. g to $2u0,000.
.' be was dependent upon ner labor for a
livelihood, and his fortune would have
mad* her rich, hut she refused to accept it.
She felt that a cruel wrong hail been done
her by the donor, and she would not profit
by his gift.
Now, after fifteen years, she finds that a
colored woman had been hired by a jealous
rival in the hospital to bring the culld to
her and tell the lie that wrecked tbe livos of
two persons. The money ha i been held in
trust lor her meantime and has assumed
enormous proportions, amounting to s<so,-
OuO. .Now tha. the stain has been removed
from the honor of her old lover, Mies Pen
nock will take steps to recover his fortune.
Lawyer Benjamin of Gieenport ha* been
engaged by her to attend to ihe transfer.

SATAN FATHER OF LIARS.
THS FIRST FAL E TOOD EVER TTP
TERBD TOLD TO EVE.
On the Strength of It She Took th*
Petal Bite of the Forbidden Fruit-
Now the Plague of Lies fcae Spread
Over the Whole World—lalmagi
Tells All About It.
New York. March 23.— “ The Plague oi
Lies” was selected by Dr. Talmage for thi
subject of the fifth of his discourses on “Thi
Plagues of These Three Cities’’ which hi
preached to-day. Both at the morning aerv
toe in Rrookiyn and at the evening tervla
under the euspicee of the Chritiian Heralt
in New York the vast buildings were no
large enough to hold more than one-half thi
crowd who came to bear the sermon, ns
text was Genesis iil.; 4: “Ye shall no>
surely die."
That was a point blank lie. Satan told il
to Eve to induce tier to put her semi-circli
of white, beautiful tee to into a forbidden
aprioot, or plum, or peach, or apple. He
practically said to her: "O, Eve I Justtaki
a bite of this and you will be omnipoteni
and omniscient. You shall be os gods.’
Just opposite was the result. It was thi
first lie that was ever told la our world. I
opened the gate tor all the falsehoods tha
have ever alighted on this planet. It intro
duced a plague that covers all nations, thi
Plague of Lies. Far worse than the plaguei
of Egypt, for they were on the banksof thi
Nile, but this on the hanks of the Hudson,
on the banks of the East river, on the bank:
of the Ohio, and the Misa.nippi, and thi
Thames, aim the Rhine, and the Tiber, anfl
on both tides of all rivers. The Egyptian
plagues lasted only a few weeks, but for sis
thousand years lias raged this Plague oi
Lies.
There are a hundred ways of telling a lie.
A man’s entire life may be a falsehood,
while with his lips he may not once ilirectl j
falsify. There are those who state what is
positively untrue, but afterward ssy “mej
be," softly. These departures from ths
truth are called "white lies;" but there is
really no inch thing as a white lie. Thi
whitest Be that was ever told was as biacl
as perdition. No Inventory of public cnmai
will be sufficient that omits this gigantii
abomination. There are men, high ii
church and state, actually useful, self
denying aud honest in many things, whi
upon certain subjects, and in cer
tain spheres, are not at all to hi
depended upon for veracity. Indeed
there are inanv men and women wbi
have their notions of truthfulness si
thoroughly perverted, that they do not
know wlieu they are lying. With many it
is a cultivated sin; with eome it seems a
natural infirmity. I have known peopli
who seemed to have bean born liars. Thi
falsehoods of their lives extended froir
cradle to grave. Prevarications, misrepre
sentation, and dishonesty of speocb, ap.
peared In their flrit utterances, aud were as
natural to them as auy of their Infantile
diseases, and were a sort of moral oroup oi
spi; itual scarlatina. But many have i.eet
placed in circumstances where this tendency
has day by day, and hour by hour, bees
called to larger development. They havi
?one from attainment to attainment, and
rom class to class, until they have becomi
regularly graduated liars.
The air of the city is filled with falsehoods
They bang pendant from the chandeliers oi
our finest residences; they crowd the shelve/
of come of our merchant princes; they fi)
the side-walk from curbs one to brown
stono facing. They cluster around the me
chanic’s hammer, and id- atom from tue ent
of the merchant’s yar.l-sttck, and sit in the
doors of churches. Borne call them “flo
tlon.” Some stylo them “fabrication.” Yot
might say that they were subterfuge, dis
?;uiae, delusion, romance, evasion, pretense
able, deception, misrepresentation; but, at
I am ignorant of anytt tng to be gained by
the biding of a God-defying outrage undei
a lexicographer's blanket, I shall chiefly cal
them what my father taught me to cal
them —lies.
I shall divide them into agricultural, mer
can tile, mechanical, ecclesiastical andsocia
lies.
First, then, I will speak of those that an
more particularly agricultural. There ti
somothlrg in the perpetual presence ot
natural objects to make a man pure. Thi
trees never Issue "false stock." Whoa
fields are always honest Rye and oati
never move out in the night, not payio|
for the place they have occupied. Cori
shocks never make false assignments
Mountain brooks are always "curreut.’
The gold on the grain is never counterfeit!
The sunrise never flauuts in false colors
Tne dew sports only genuine diamonds
Taking fartnei ( as a class, I believe the]
are truihful and fair in dealing, and kind
hearted. But the regions surrounding oui
cities do not always tend this sor
of men to our markets. Day by day
there creak through our streets, and abou
the markt bouses, farm wagons that havi
not an honest spoke in their wheels, or t
truthful rivet from tongue to tailboard
During the last few years there have beer
times when domestic economy has foundered
on the farmer’s firkin. Neither high taxes
nor the hig i price of drygoods, nor the ex
orbltancv of labor, could excuse much thai
the city has witnessed in the behavior oi
the yeomanry. By the quiet firesides i*
Westchester and Orange oounties, I bop
there may be seasons of deep reflection am
hearty repentance. Rural districts are ac
customed to rail at great cities as given u|
to fraud and every form of unrighteousness
but our cities do not absorb all the abomi
nations. Our citizens have learned the im
portance of not always trusting to the sizi
and style of apples in the top of a farmer’)
barrel as an indication of what may bi
found farther down. Many of our peopli
are accustomed to watch and soe how cor
rectly a bushel of beets Is measured; and
there are not many honest milk cans.
Deceptions do not all cluster round city
balls. When our cities sit down and wee;
over their sins, all the surrounding coun
tries ought to come lu and weep with them.
There is often hostility on the part of pro
ducers against traders, as th ugh the mat
who raises the corn was necessarily mon
honorable than the grain dealer, wbo poun
it into bis mammoth bin. There ougtt*
be no such hostility. Yet producers often
think it no wrong to snatch away from ths
trader; and they say to the bargai i-maker,
“You get your money easy.” Do thej
get it easy I Let those who in the quiet
field and barn get their living exohangi,
places with those who stand to-day amic
the excitements of eotnmercirl life, and se
if they find it so very easy. While thi
farmer goes to sleep with the assurancs
that his com and barley will be growing
all the nigbt, moment by moment adding
to hii revenue, the marohant tries to go t<
sleep, conscious that that moment his carge
mav be broken on tho rocks, or damage*
by the wave that sweeps clear across Mm
hurricane deck; or that reckless speculaton
may, that very hour, be plotting some mon
etary revolution, or the burglam prying
open his safe, or his debtors fleeing thi
town, or his landlord raising the rent, o
the fires kindling on tbe block that con
tains all bis estates. Easy ! is it ? God hel[
tbe merchants! It is hard to have thi
palms of the bands blistered with outdooi
work; but amors dreadful process when
through mercantile anxieties. the brain ii
consumed.
