ered to the omnipotent Judge. In
all future time, on the recurrence of
this day, I doubt not that the citizens
of this republic will meet in solemn
assembly to reflect on the life and
character of Abraham Lincoln, and
the awlnl, tragic event of April 14th.
1865—an event unparalleled in the
history of nations, certainly unparal
leled in our own. It is eminently
proper that this House should this
day place upon its records a memori
al of that event.
The last five years have been mark*-
ed by wonderful developments of in
dividual character. Thousands of peo.
pie, before unknown to lame, have
taken their places in history, crowned
with immortal honors. In tbonsands
of humble homes are dwelling heroes
and patriots, whose names shall never
die. But greatest among all these
great developments were the charac
ter and fame oi Abrahain Lincoln,
whose loss the nation still deplores.
His character is iptly described in the
words oi England’s great Laureate—
written thirty years ago—in which
he traces the upward steps of some
Divinely gifted man,
W hose liie in low estate began,
And on a simple village green;
Who breaks liis birth’s invidious bar,
And gran* the skirts of happy chance,
And breaata the blows of circumstance,
And grapples,with Ins evil star;
Who makes, by force, his merit known,
And lives to clutch the golden keys
To mould a mighty state’s decrees,
And shape the whisper of the throne,
And moving up, from high to higher,
Becomes a Fortune’s crowning slope,
The pillar of a People’s hope,
The centre of a W orld’s dcsiro.
wThe present legislature has done a
jtftift deal of work. The winter ses-
lasted from November 4th to De

Such a life and character will be
treasured forever as the sacred pos
session of the American people aud ot
mankind.
- On the 18th of February, 1876, on
the announcement, in the House, ol
the death of Senator Orris S. Ferry,
of Connecticut, Gen. Garfield closed
an eloquent tribute to his memory
with the following words:
Before closing, let me refer to the
crowning glory ol his life. Mr. Ferry
had a strong religious element in his
character. This was with him a great
controlling force and not a sentiment.
No cloud obscured the effulgence of
his hope or dimmed his vision. Clear
and high his intellect and his faith
rose above all storms and darkness,
and sustained him in sweet compan
ionship amid the nnrevealed mysteries
of pain. As his end drew near be
came back to his home after: a brief
absence. There, under his own roof
with the angels of bis household about
him, he passed to his rest. Thinking
of trials past, and knowing as we do
how well he had wrought for the tn-
ture, ^ trustlog^ ^the merits ot his
lines of Bonar:
SSlweel
draw ofi yonr gloves and'pat them in
yonr lap under your Lapkin.. Do not
put them in the gravy, as it would
ruin the gloves and cast a gloom over
the gravy. If you have iust cleaned
them with benzine, you might leave
them out in the front yard.
If you happen to drop gravy on
your knife-blade, back near the han«
die, do not run the blade down your
throat to remove the gravy, as is
might injure your epiglottis, and it
not considered embonpoint anj way.
When you are at dinner, do not
take up a raw oyster on your folk
and playfully ask your host if it is
dead. Remarks about death at diu-
ner are in very poor taste.
Pears should he held by the stem
and peeled gently but firmly, not as
though you were skinning a dead
horse. It is not bon ton.
Oranges are held on a fork while
being ]>eelcd. and the facetious style
of squirting the juice into the eye of
yonr hostess is now an revoir.
hi ones in cherries or other Irnil
should not he placed on the table
cloth, but slid quietly and'uiiostenta
tiously into the pocket of your neigh
bor, or noiselessly tossed under the
table.
It you strike a worm in your fruit,
do not call attention to it by mash
ing it with the nut-cracker. This
not only uncouth, hut it is regarded
in the best society as blnse and ex
ceedingly vice vetsa.
Maccaroni should be cut into small
pieces, and eaten with an even, grace
ful motion, not absorbed by the yard,
In drinking wine, when you get to
the bottom of your glass do not throw
your head hack and draw in your
breath like the exhaust of a bath'lub,
in order to get the last drop, as it en
genders a feeling of the most depress
ing melancholy anion jpthe quests. •
After eating a considerable amount
do not rise and unbuckle your vest-
strap in order to get more room, as it
is exceedingly au fait and dishabille.
If l>v mistake you drink out of
your finger-bowl, laugh heartily, and
make some facetious remark which
will change the course of conversa
tion and renew the friendly feeling
among the membenfol the jfarty,
Ladies should take but one glass of
wine at dinner. Otherwise there
might be .difficulty in steering the
male portion of the procession home.
Do not make (remarks about tiie
amount your companion has eaten. Jf
the lady who is your companion at
table, whether she be your wife or the
wile of some one else, should eat quite
heartily, do not offer to pay vour host
for his loss, or say to her: ‘Great
Scott! I hope you will not kill your
self because you have the opportune
ty;’ but be polite and gentlemanly,

in his sanctum, but he could recall
many narrow escapes. About 25
years ago he was running a redshot
paper on the lino of the Michigan
Central railroad. A man named
Carson, who wsb running for some
county office, was given a bad racket,
and the editor received a note that it
ho had anything more to say be might
expect to reoeive a good pounding.

armed with a horsewhip.: The two

with all speed, leaving the editor
without support. He realized the
situation at once, and began :
‘Walk in, gentlemen ; I presume
you have come to horsewhip me V
‘We have,’ they answered.
‘Very well. Have you thoroughly
considered the matter V’
‘It dozen’t need any consideration,'
replied Carson. ‘You have lied about
me, and Pm poing to lick you within

‘Just so, my friend ; but first hear
what I have to say. Did you ever

‘I dunno.’
‘Well, you never did.’ Lick me all

The small fanner—who was to re

under bis own supervision, and using

his own—is still held to be the typi

But the observer who cares to look

Mr. Spurgeon is reported to have
said, in reply to inquiries on the new
revision: ’It is a valuable addition to
our versions, but it will need much
revision before it will be fit for public
use. To translate well, the knowledge
of two languages is needed; the men
of the New Testament Company are
strong in Greek but weak iu English.

Two trivial incidents, not dissimilar
in motive, though occurring widely
apart, illustrate tne danger ot encour
aging over-cxcitulion in the public
mind. In Atlanta, among the im
pressionable mass surging at the
doors of a public place of amusement,
a colored man struck a police officer,
and from this certainly not unusual
provocation something iiko a riot en
sued. At any other time this would
have been seized upon by the parti
san harpies to illustrate the ineradica
ble hostility of the “ solid” South to
the equality of the,civil rights of the
negroes. But as the outbreak came
to pass at a solemnity iu honor of
Garfield, this congenial interenco will
be deuied tbe organs. The other in
cident illustrates the cowardice and
arrogance of faction when intrenched
in a great majority. It was at Daly’s
Theatre* ift>lew Yurk^whilellie per
formance was going on. borne su
per-serviceable idiot finding that the
dismal folds ot sable stuff, with which
the portico had been draped for a week
had been removed, ranted about
“ treason” until a crowd of ruffianism
and imbecility surrounded tho en
trance, armed with* combustible tna-
lerials, to set the place on fire. For
tunately tbe police were not, as usual,
drunk or trembling, and the ring,
leader of the miscreants was taken to
prison. Another case of even more
aggravated factional intolerance
less known because it lias not figured
in tbe dispatches. This happened at
New Brunswick, New Jersey, where
a journalist, for presuming to indulge
iu the common right of the press to
criticise the highest as well as the
lowest public cfficiul, was beset by a
hand of young ruffians calling thete
selves college students. These tilings,
if encouraged, will lead to such des
potism as we see in Russia.

ces of thh old time,still lords of aorea
though not of slaves. There is in
Mississippi one planter .who /-uses an
nually 1*2,000 bales ot cotton bn
twelve consolidated plantations, ag
gregating, perhaps 50,000 acres.
The Capeheart estate, on Albemarle
Sound, originally of seven thousand
acres, had $52,000 worth of land ad -
ded last year. In the Mississippi Val
ley, where, more than anywhere else,
is preserved the distinctive cotton
plantation, this re-absorbing ot sep
arate farms into one ownership is go
ing on rapidly. Mr. F. C. Morehead,
an authority on ihtse lands says that
not one-third of them are owned by
the men who held them at the close
of the war, and that they are passing,
one after the olhe’', into the hands of
the commission merchants. It is
donbttul if there is a neighborhood in
all the South in which casual inquiry
will not bring to the front from ten
to a dozen men who have added farm
after farm to their possessions for tho
past several years, and now own from
six^to twenty places. It must not be
supposed that these farms are bunch
ed together and run after the old
plantation style. On the coutrary,
they are cut into even smaller farms,
and rented to small croppers. The
question involved is not whether or
not the old plantation methods shall
be revived. It is the much more seri
ous problem as to whether the lands
divided forever into small farms shall
he owned by the many or by the few,
whether we slmil have in the South a
peasantiy like that of France, or
tenantry like that of Ireland.—Ilenry

From tho Hour.
The central figure at the present
moment is undoubtedly that of Sena
tor JoneR. He has been the trusted
friend and firm ally of Gen. Arthur
and the part which he has played
since the death ot the late President
has been a most conspicuous one.
His house at Washington has been
the headquarters of the new Admin
istration, and he has probably been
consulted upon every step which has
been taken. Senator Jones is a man
of ability and patriotism. He de
sires to serve his country as best
he may, and it remains to be seen
whether his services will not be rec
ognized by some influential post. In
deed, it has been more than whispered
that Mr. Jones will be secretaiy of
the Interior in the new Cabinet, and
that in resigning his senatorahip he
will make room for his old if lend
Mackey, who, is said, is desirous of
entering public life. Those who be
lieve ■so add that, while it is true that
the legislature of Nevada is democrat
ic, the great personal influence of Mr.
Mackey and the benefits which be
has showered upon his Btate would be
sufficient to have him elected. It
also said that it is not without the
realm of possibilities that Mr. Liap
ham will resign and that Gov. Cor
nell will ap|H>iut Mr. Conkiing lo suc
ceed bint. Conkling, it is said, does
not want a place in the Cabinet, and
such an arrangement would bring
about the good feeling which the
Halt Breeds have clamored tor
loudly. A foreign mission would
then await Mr. Lapham, who would
be only too glad to see his quondam
friend back in the place which he
fiilled so long and so honorably.

THRASHER. INDICTMENTS QUASHED.
Editor Banner :
This evening immediately after the
■'coinly Court adjourned, Hon I W W
Trice and Mr. B E Thrasher bad a
difficulty which grew out of the fact
that Mr. Thrasher appeared as a wit
ness in a case before the court, against
Price. Tbe police interfered and suc
ceeded in keeping the belligerents apart
for the time. Mr. Thrasher then
went immediately home and armed
himself with a pistol, and when Price
passed be stopped him and began fir
ing at him. Mr. Price wasfired at by
Thrash jr four times, two shots taking
effect, one ball lodged in the left leg
ot Mr. Price , while the other entered
the right leg, both below the knees.
DivRichardson was promptly sum
moned and probed for the ball in the
left leg bul failed . to fiud il. The
other ball went through. The doc

Flipper Explains.
Lieut. Flipper, the colored officer
in Texas for embezzelment, has writ
ten a long letter to a friend in New
York, Mr. John I Quarles, in which
he reviews tbe charges, declaies his
innocence, and attributes his arrest
tn malicious motives on tbe part of
Col. Win. R. Shafter, of the Tenth
Infantry. The apparent deficiency
in his accounts he alleges to be caused
by hilts remaining unpaid to him
from the camp dependent upon bis
post of supplies. Tne mistake lie
made was iu taking from the money
remaining in his bands from the last
fiscal year a sufficient sum to make
up for unpaid bills in bis July ac
count. If, after he had been ordered
to turn over to Lieut. Edmunds
had put this sum where it belonged,
lie could not have turned over tquara.
He, therefore, left it whete be put it,
kuowiug that the bills would be paid
and be could' replace it. He had
made one hole to fill op another, but
the Colonel bad advised him to take
that method of squaring his account.

RECONSTRUCTING THE ADMINISTRATION.
Washington, wet. 4.-Tho at
tempt to combine Messrs. Blaine and
Conkling in the cabinet of President
Arthur has fallen to tho ground.
Mr. Blaine positively refuses to re
main. He would not be unwilling to
serve with Mr. Conkling; but he will
not do anything which will bring him
into any sort of alliance with Grant.
No persuasion can change him as to
this.
It is a fact that when Gen. Garfield
was believed to be recovering, Mr.
Blaine went to a prominent gentleman
who is friendly with both parties, aud
told him that if Mr. Conkling desired
it, he should he appointed within fif
teen minutes to the vacancy ot the
United Slates Supreme court. ‘You
see.’said Mr. Blaiae,‘thnt I have noth
ing against Mr. Conkling; but 1 am
not going to make him any proposi*
tion and run the risk of his refusing.’
Nothing will be done in these im
portant matters without Mr. Conkling
being consulted. I am by no mean-
sure that he will be appointed Secre
tary of the Treasury, since Mr. Bia : ne
positively refused lo remain Secreta
ry of State , but if Conkling is not
taken, it is probable that no other man
in New York will be. I add tor in-
straction of the gossips, that everbody
may be certain that no offer of this
great .place will be made either to Ed
win D Morgan or to Levi P. Morton.
You may set it down for a fact that
Senator Jones, of Nevada, has de
clined to be Secretary of the Interior.
No actual change in the Cabinet
will be completed till congress meets
in December. WiDdom will not be
let off till then, nor MacVeagh, nor
any of the others. W hen they have
sent in their regular annual reports,
their successors will be appointed.—

GUITEAU’S TRIAL.
Washington, Sept. 27.—Guiteau
will be tried before the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia. Die Dis
trict Attorney, in bringing him before
this court, is aware that there is a de
cision which holds that the court has
no jurisdiction in cases where the
-offence was begun here and death
followed elsewhere. This decision,
however, was given veiy many years
ago. and the more recent authorities
are all in favor of Lite jurisdiction of a
court over an offender in the place
where tbe offcuce was began. If
Guiteau has counsel, it is not unlikely
that the question may be carried up be
fore final sentence shall be pronounced
upon him. The District Attorney
has but little doubt that Guitean’s
defense will be insanity, r d even if
he should desire to plead gnilty he
will not be allowed, as the Court
generally refuses to accept such a
G l in a capital case. Guiteau has
several offers from lawyers in
different parts of the country to de
fend him, some of them men of fair
lepiitation. The great question, how
ever, is whether Guiteau can be taken
irom the jail to court and back again
without being inobhed. Threats have
been made to lynch hiiu, and every
effort will be made to protect him from
violence. The army, however, cannot
he need for such a purpose, although
the District militia might be called
out iu case ot riot. Tho militia have
tieen instructed in ease of a signal of
six fire bells three times to report lo
their armories instantly.

Ben Hill will speak tor three hours

preparation he makes is marking
references in this book or that. I
have seen him time and again thunder
away for two hours without stopping
even for a glass of water. He re
vises his speeches, however; makes
additions and corrections in a clear
hand, much like that ot a college boy,
and gives the printers little trouble
with his proof. He line an astound
ing memory, and no man in public
life, except Edmunds, has such im
perturbability. The only man who
could well woiry Hill or excite his
wrath in debate was the late Matt
Carpenter. How it tickled Carpen
ter to put some adroit question at the
Georgian and get him contused 1—a
hard thing to do at any time, but
Carpenter often succeeded. And it
was more the result of an irresistible
propensity ior fun than anytbiug else,
for there never was a man who had
