he acquired, under the faithful tuition of

of English, those marvelous powers of ex

health in store for happy days to come, or

neither sorrow nor disease can come,
where the dark power of death no more

fering, perishing clay. Through the dim,
silent watches of the night, when ail

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

The philosophy of society is a study in
the progress cf civilization and the devel
opment of man. 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. A West
ern contemporary thus describes tbe ideal
chaperone: “Xot that class of chape

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.

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.

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. Hla tor

Dec. 13—Mr. Scoville, I have been ont
of health since writing the above; conse
quently have not sent the money—I have
been iu sorrow aud poor health ever since
the 4tb of March in view of the calamities
that were coming upon as a nation. The
Jews asked that Barrabas be relea'ed and
Jesus sacrificed. We as a nation say
Guiteau is a murderer. Now, iu tbe
name of tbe nation ask for the release of
Guiteau least liis blood shall be upon
and our children. I represent Rachel
weeping for her children because they are
not. May tbe Hon. Court consider well
wbat they are doing for it affects the
whole nation. It will be well to consider
tbe case of Cain. The roan who killed
Cain was to tecei70 seven fold greater
muisbment. Lamecli who acknowledged
le bad slain a man to his wounding and
a young man to bis hurt: and if Cain
was avenged seven fold; ho should be
avenged seventy and sevan fold.
Christ in his beautiful lessons told us
to forgive seveuty times seven. Aud when
lie was upon tlie cross ho said, “Father,
forgive them, for they know not what they
do.” And could President Garfield speak
irom the tomb to-day: he would say—
Slay not that man.
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.
Mr. Guiteau could no more help wound
ing President Garfield than President
Garfield could help being wounded. If
hanging & shooting & lynching is a ben
efit to our nation why is it that crime in
creases instead of decreasing. •
May God keep me from having any
hate to any living being ou earth.
I will enclose the widow’s mite One

Shonld you and your wife pass through
