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 cember 4th, ^wd then adjourned to meet on July 6th.

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, L—-J, tho-i^j e» r p>y .ehnnld ...... 7.52 p. iu 9.02 a, iu 6.45 a. u 7.35 m ...et*~~ 9.30 a. m ..ee.~~10.35 * in *i*tf^nniWxHlr^ V 7.20 p. m — 9 15 a. m 1.50 a. m Leave Pluio Street Depot...

One of the old time editors of Michigan was boasting that be had never been sued for libel, or attacked 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. He had a still more bitter attack the uext week, and the paper was hardly mailed before in walked Carson, the caudiriflrt*, qK^uiupanied. J»y t»- bt oilier anB two cousins. The four were strapping hig'fellows, and each was armed with a horsewhip.: The two compositors and the ‘devil’ got out 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 au inch of your life!’ ‘Just so, my friend ; but first hear what I have to say. Did you ever hear of the press being stopped be\ cause the editor was cowhided?’ ‘I dunno.’ ‘Well, you never did.’ Lick me all you choose and my paper comes out week after week just the same. The power of the press is next to the lever which moves the universe. It makes or breaks parties, builds up or teais down, plants or destroys. Aggravate the editor and ihe press becomes Number 49. THEBE TO BE A COTTON FLIRTING ARISTOCRACY? The small fanner—who was to re trieve the disasters of the South, aud wipe out the last vestige ot the plant ing aristocracy, between which and the people there was always a lack of sympathy, by keeping his own acres under bis own supervision, and using hired labor onlv as a supplement to his own—is still held to be the typi cal cotton-raiser. But the observer who cares to look beneath the surface will detect signs of a reverse current. Ho will discov er that there is beyond question a sure though gradual rebunching of the small fat ms into large estates, and a tendency toward the re-establish ment of a land-holdit Here aTiiT Uitfe tii rough sword to wound or kill Wollop me if you will, but uext week I’ll come out more bitter than ever.’ Tnere was an embarrassing silent right here, and the face of each horso- whipper had an anxious took. ‘It will go out to the world—to America, Canada, England, France—* ay, clear to Jerusalem, that the Car son lamily ot this county lives on roots and Johnny cake ; that they murdered a peddler for a pair ot two shilling suspenders ; that the women are club footed, and the men work their ears when they sing ; that the —’ ‘What is the regular subscription to tbe Herald V interrupted Carson. ‘Only twelve shillings a year.’ ‘Put us four down.’ •Very well—six dolliys—that’s oor- rect.

If one of.tbe gentlemen should drop a raw oyster into his bosom, and he should have trouble in fishing it out, do not make facetious remarks about it, but assist him to find it, laughing Heartily all the time. Mr. Spurgeon oa I no Revision. 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. Comparing tbe two, in my judgment, the old version is tbe better.’ Might be Misunderstood.

WHAT SHE SAW IN CHURCH. He staid at home and she went to church; after dinner he asked her ; ‘What was the text, Mary ?’ ‘Oil, something somewhere in Gen erations ; I have forgotten the chaps ter and vers-.

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. the TJdt- States, and almost in-every coun- reappearing tho planter prins 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 TF, Grady, in Harper's Magazine for October. Joan of Nevada. 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. HON. W. XV. .PRICE SHOT BT Mil; B.

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.

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. Brave! Sports IshmeeUte.

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.— N. Y. Sun. 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. / — The profound observer of tbe New Orleans Times announces this discov ery : ‘A man sometimes forgets, be fore be has paid, whether he has paid or not, bill after he has pnid .be never forgetf that lie has paid. Man is, naturally, a liar.’ Contusing Ben HU1. Washington Republican. Ben Hill will speak tor three hours without a scrap ot paper. The only 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 less malice than Malt Carpenter. Bitgut Newsboys. Virginia City Chronicle.
