A good many short sighted people seem to have accepted the attempt is a test of the question whether whole colonies of foreigners could be successfully planted iu the South. For a time picturesque reports of RuJ were published iu this country and in Europe, and it seemed probable that Mr. Hughes’ experiment at making the wilderness blossom with lawn- tenuis would be’repeated all over the continent.

Through the dim, silent watches of the night, when ail arouud are hushed in sleep, it is hers to keep long vigils and to hold communion with her God, and silently lift up her heart iu fervent prayer for he prolong- roent of a life for which she would cheerfully give her own. And even when exhausted, she sinks into brie repose, for getfulness is denied. Even in sleep she seems aw ake to this one grand subject of her care. She starts and lises from her slumbers, raises her droopiug he. d and watches with dreamy eyes the face she lores, then sinks again to rest to start at every chime of Hie clock or a distant souud which formerly had passed unheard or only served as a lullably to her sweet sleep.

Grumbling Over Hie Committees. A Washington telegram says: The composition of the House committees is the ail absorbing topic of discussion, to night, especially‘among members of Con gress, and although there is always dis satisfaction and grumbling, no matter bow the committees are formed, there ap pears to be mere on this occasion than usual. Iu the first place, tlie West com plains that the East has got control of the principal and most influential committees. out much real effort became disgusted. Titey found they must work or go away. Thus tiie literary Rugby came to an ig noble failure, but the practical RugbyJstUl lives and is lib-dy to I've. Its history thus far proves only precise ly what has been proved by other more obscure colonies in tbe South—that En glishmen, Swiss, Germans or any other people cau find good homes there, and maintain themselves well by honest work, and a good deal of it: but that all experi ments based ou dreams of attaining ease without labor will fail, iu Tennesseo as surely as in any other part of the world.

As nations grow from barbarism into s rude civilization and gradually widen into culture and aestheti cism, polite society is as sorely evolved as the aris and sciences. The mombers of this body corporate are not usually the philosophers, statesmen, and loaders of human thought and ad vancement, but the lighter types that rise easily to tbe surface. In spite of this ac knowledged fact, no organization, moral, educational or political, wields a more potent influence. She is a recognized power in the land. With no constitution or digest, except tho fluctuating rules of etiquette wrought out from tlie concur rent experience of individuals, the Dra conian Code was not more inflexible nor its penalties surer. Smile we must at her follies, sigli at her errors, but let that man or woman who transgresses her proprieties beware the shadow of her august hack, and the chili of her reversed shoulder. Tho-dis- appointed suitor for her favors and the ascetic who lias never desired them may rail on her; wo doff tho beaver to her ladyship, end on beuded knee touch our lips to lier satin slipper, aud unsheath our steel (pen) iu her service. It has sometimes transpired in the de cadence of nations that the insurgents against society were strong enough to overthrow her restraints. In every case a period of wild license and excess were followed by a relapse iuto lower social conditions. No right-thinking man or woman, then, can withdraw ids or her in fluence from society. With that tenderey to crystallization into set forms which be longs to middle-aged conservatism, we take pleasure in announcing that chaperones are to be re rigeur this winter. We have trembled for several seasons on the verge of dispensing with this highly re spectable adjunct, while tlie Eastern and Western cities have adopted it.

Leathers and Cowdin, who have steadily refused to accept this evidence, and who have in sisted that they were not to be imposed oa by it. Not having much of anything else to do but to talk, they talked a good deal, and they talked so loud aud they talked so long that last, week a committee of tlie Merchants’ Exchange seized them and earned them down to the jetties to make soundings for themselves under the eyes of the committee. This they did under prote-t, each ancient mariner be ing allowed to choose his own lead line aud to spit- upon the lead himself. Tlie committee report that they found a least depth of 20 feet In Hip 20-foot channel, and no bottom in the 59-foot channel, as the sounding iiues were only 40 feet long.

Sir. Keaicitu on tlie DayU-Johnston Imbroglio Hon. John H. Reagan, now member of Congress Irom Texas, was tbe Postmaster- General of tbe Confederacy and In its clos ing days tho acting secretary of tbo treas ury and in charge of tbe funds. In regard to tbe money brought out of Richmond, bo says: The charge, if it was really made against Davis, is absurb and unfounded. For tbe last several years of its existence tbe Confederate States did not have at any time as much as $2,500,000 in coin in this couutry. Aft tho coin we got was in exchange for cotton, and it was kept in Europe aud drawn upon for supplies. At Washington, Ga, when it was evident the collapse had come, tho money, chests were opened and tlie major portion of the coin distributed pro rata among the Con federate troops there. I believe each man and officer got $10. That is what Gen. Dibrell says, and be was there. Tlie amount of money there belonging to the Confederate States was about $86,000 in gold coin, $35,000 in silver coin,and $36,- 000 in silver bullion in tbe form of bricks. I do not know how much was paid out to the soldiers, but Dibrell tblnks it was about $100,000. I hardly think it was that much. Tbo silver bricks were put in charge of tlie quartermaster in an old warehouse, and were subsequently found and taken by tlie United States troops. A sum of money, I don’t know bow much, was put in the hands of two naval officers, who were directed to go to Nas sau and reach Europe witb it. They fail ed, were captured and rite government got tbe money. That is the manner in which the coiu of tbe Confederacy went. Mr. Davis got none of it. An Uoneat an. Baltimore Gazette. Whatever may have been the faults of Jefferson Davis, dishonesty has never been named among them by his bitterest ene mies, and it will be a bnrn'ng shame on the times if falsehood and reckless hostili ty can find lodgement in the public mind instead of truth and justice. Mr. Davis stands to-day ir ore like a prisoner than a citizen, when many equally responsible with him secure elevation by feeding mor bid feelings] against him. It is not right for him to be whistled down the wind by such unsupported charges. A Matty Hstsirs Acquitted. Pittsburg, December 24.—The argu ments in the tiial of McFarland, the Mol ly Maguire, at Unibutown, were conclud ed tbis mormug and the case given to the Jeffersonand Wsbileras Inventor* of Flow*. It is quite certain that Mr. Jefferson was arnoug the first to improvo the plow in this couutry. Iu 1793 lie put his the ory to tbo test of practical experiment, no had several plows mado and put to work on his farms In Albemarle and Bed ford comities, in Virginia, and becamo satiflied of tbeir practical utility. In 1830-37, Mr. Daniel Webster invent ed a plow for working twelve or fourteen inches deep and cutting a furrow twenty- four inches wide, which is still in exist ence, as perhaps many of our readers saw on exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876. ‘It is tho property of bis friend, Mr. Peter Harvey, and measures as follows: Whole length, 13 feet; beam, 0 feet 1 inch; laudside, 4 feet 2 Inches; handies, 9 feet 4 inclics; mould made of wood aud stripped with iron, 20 inches wide; share, 10 Indies; from point of share to end of mould, 5 feet 4 inches; the beam standing some 23 indies from tbe ground. Mr. Webster himself (with some six or eight assistants) held this plow, aud his own words were “When I Lave bold of tbo Iiandles of my big plow and such a field witb a pair of cattle to pull it through, and bear the roots crack and see tho slumps go under the furrow out of sight, and observe the clean mellow surface ot the plowed laud, I feel more enthusiasm over my achievement than comes from my encounters iu public life in Washington. Another victim to the practice of prac- licai joking has paid for bis credulity with his life. The otuer day, as the French bark Felix was approaebiug tbe port of Marseilles under easy sail, a negro be longing to the crew suddenly clambered upon tbe bulwarks and plunged into tbe sea. Although the vessel was promptly hove to and a boat put out In search of the unfortunate man, who was known to be a powerful swimmer, all the efforts made to rescue bim proved fruitless. In quiry among tbe crew respecting the mo tives of his suicide resulted in the follow ing revelation: Ho bad shipped at Mo zambique as an able seaman, aud bis ship mates, learning that ho had never before made a voyage to France, agreed to persuade liim that human-flesh of the ne- ;ro variety is so highly relished by wealthy Frenchmen of tho present day that he could not rail, upon arriving at Marseilles to be roasted and eaten. Their plot proved only too successful. Tbe convic tion that be was destined to figure as a comestible at some Marseilles restaurant preyed upon his mind to such an extent that he at laat resolved to die by bis own act rather than encounter the fate await ing him m port. This determination be made known to the authors of tbe hoax, but they nevertheless kept up ther Jest un til the Felix sighted Marseilles, when the wretched negro, believing himself irrevo cably doomed to suffer' death within a few hours, drowned himself.

AN APPEAL FOR THE LIFE OF THE AS SASSIN. And I believe the love I had to our President while living, and his beautiful wife and children causes roe to make this appeal. God is resurrecting the Jews from every nation under heaven and bringing them to tbis nation. Now we as Gentiles profess to bolieve in this Jesus whom the Jews rejected, and wlict a les son this is that we are clamoring for blood as they did with Jesus.
