From the Macon (Ua.) Telegraph. '' Mr. Vorhocs, in his recent attack on Mr. Greeloy, styled bis nigning of Mr. Davie's) bond "an Impertinent In terference." Allow me to givo you a true history of that matter a 1 recent ly learned it in Now York from a gen tleman who know ail about it. Mrs. Davit went to New York to consult Charles O'C'onor, Mr. DaviVs counsel, aa tJ the best mannor of etTocting bis relcaso irom prison, llr.u (Jonortolu hor that in his opinion there was but one way that it could bo dono, and tliat was to got the representative mnn of the Republican party to sign bin bond. Airs. Davis inquired who that man was. Mr. O'Conor replied that it was Horace Greeloy. Sho then asked him if ho would not see Mr. Groeloy and get him to do it. Ho re plied that he had no influence with Mr. Greeley, and that .the was tho proper person to sco him. She said sho would go and see him. She went to his nmco, sent in ber card, and was invited into his privato office. She said to him r ' ' "Mr. Greeloy, my husbund is con fined in casemate at Fortress Monroe. Ho has been there for muny long, weary months. He is a feeblo old man, and ho is gradually sinking un der his rigorous Imprisonment. Ho will die if ho remains there much lon ger. I came here to consult Mr. O' Conor as to the means of golling him released. . Ho hug told me that there is but one way to do it, and that is to got the representative man of the Re publican party to sign bit bond, and sayt that .you are that man. He has advised mo to apply to you. He says you have a kind heart, and that you will do it if you beliove it to be rirht. My hDBband is dying, Mr. Groeloy. May 1 hope that you will favorably consider my application V Mr. Greeloy aroso, extended bis hand to Mrs. Davia, and said: "Madam, you may, for I will sign his bond." Mr. Greoley was then a prominent candidate belore the Legislature for the U. a. senate, some ot bis friends heard that he had agecd to sign Mr. Davis'a bond. They went to him and protested against it. Thoy told him that tbey bad made a count, and that be would be elected by six majority, out li be signod the bond It would tie feat him. ' 1 "I know it will." ho roplied. They told bim that he was one of the ownors ot the Tribune, and if he signed this bond bo would lose thous ands of subscribers. . . , "I know it," he replied. ' ' "Mr. Grooloy," they said, "you have written a history of tho war ; ono vol ume you have out, and you have largo ordors for that. If you sign this bond these ordors will bo countermanded, and you will loso a largo amount of money." "Gentlemen," be repliod, "I know it, but it is right, and I'll do it." He did do it, and I am informed that he lost a seat In the United States Sonata and over 830,000. , To my mind this doca not look like "importinent interference." Ili.l'strative or Man. The follow ing incident mny not bo considered much in itself, and yet it is not only, beyond a doubt, ono of tho many little things which make op the sum total of the man's existence to whom It ro fers, but immenso in meanness. A poor wotnnn wont to tho wood market to buy a load of wood. The ownor of the only load for sale askod U3.75 for it. She had but ? U.00, which ho took, whilo sho went to hunt up tho fifteen cents wanting. She soon returned with tho money, but mean time tho wooden hearted, wood dealer had found a four dollar customer, and sold him tho poor woman's -load of wood lor It was hers in both law and fact and gave hor back her money. She bad not a stick of wood in the houso and worked an entire week, at washing, to boy a load.

The unfortunate Individuals sent to struggle against the inclemency of a bard climate, and lue severity ot hard er taskmasters, were divided In two classes : those merely transported and tbose sentenced to transportation with hard labor. -The journey fom -KI to Tobolsk took una year, whilo the convicts whoso destination was the mines of Morlchinsl;, soldom reached it if they did roach it under two years, cor the Do nos ol many ol loom that ponsneo ot coiu, hi usage and sickness wore scattered orer the interminable Russian steppes to,sorvo as finger posts to tho molancboly con voys that followed the snme desolate rout. These convoys generally con sisted of one hundred to two hundred and fifty persons men and women and children. An armed Cossuck on horseback then followed tho convicts, chained together in gangs of twenty, with a Cossack intervening botwoon the gangs and a posse of those very irregular cavalry men closed the pro cession. The Czar was merciful to women ; they were not chained. The siek were gently treated ; they wcro allowed to ride In vehicles with iron rings round their necks like wild boasts in monngcrics. ' . Perfect silenco reigned in those pro cessions; tho only Icclmg noticeable was tho dull apathy of despair. Dur ing sleep no ono could movo without causing more or less severe pain to bis mato.

He was iiko tho captain of a ship at sea ; ho was absolute master over nit and could in flict any punisbmont short of immcdi ate doulh. Some olliccrs, however wcro occasionally found, who rometn berod that the prisonora had onco been men und women with souls of thoir own, and who did not feel any especi al dolight in iuflicting upon tbum . nu necessary physical suU'erings. One of theso convoys was calculated to arrive weekly at Tobolsk, wboro sal a gov eminent commission chargod to tho requirements of the puhlio sorvico, About ten thousand passed annually through lobolsk. How toJTeaoli. . Tho fundamental prorequisito in all teaching is that tho teacher should gain the confidence or too taught I'uradoiioal as it may seem, the surest way to gum the confidence Is to bo hi Ways-ready frankly and freely to ad mit ignorance whenever the teacher is conscious that ht docs not know the point in question. No more fatal error can be committed than to pro tend knowledge or to answer vaguely. Any form of decait once discovered by the pupil at once breaks -he tacit com pact botweon the parlios, and teaches the pupil distrust tho very worst ics son that can evor be taught, Tho first thing in touching, after securing the confidonce of the pupil, it to get bis attention, ilie best way to do this, perhaps, it to appeal as larso ly as possible to tho natural fondness ot the human mind lor novelty, ire quont changos of the form in which questions are put and answered, idoas thrust artfully into tbe dry mechanism of the spocial study, the illustration of tbe skeleton outlinos of truth by tho presentation of picturesque examples, Irequont allompla to roliove, by easy, natural tulk, the mere business ol ro citation, constitue some of tbe modes by which varioty may bo attained. even repetition, tnai aosoiuteiy essen tial feature of all thorough instruction, may bo mado interesting by the miron uily with which the teacher may seek to provont It Irom becoming tedious. une oi tho oasiosl modes ot exciting alto n lion and awakening interest is to encourngo the questions pertinent to I ha multor in band, In no way, per haps, is the true knowledge which the pupil has gained of the subject bettor shown than by tbe questions he putt and the manner in which be puts them No timo, bo sure, it lost in this busi ness of replying to earnest questions j li cy may be answerod in various ways, in regard to which tho teaehor must exorcise his discretion.'

Novcr dealing in argument, but always in ub0o, nothing but the opportunity is writing to discover in bim those hearse' Instincts whloh education hat done nahiiiir to modify. This oppor tunity wit offered in the IIouso of KeprosontUivcs tho other day, when Mr. Brooks, of Now York, ventured to eUL'ijost lunt tho supplementary en forcomont bill was unconstitutional. This was an opinion which every man had a right to cnienain, and wniun. in a country whore speech is supposed to bo froo. every man, morcovor, had tho right to express. But it did not happen to coincido with Bingham's opinion, nor did it suit , his parti sanship, and be accordingly procoedoo to denounco its utterance as "troason- ablo" and "damning." Tho calumny is, of course, not worth refuting, but it comes with an ill graco from tho man whose treason to liberty is ro corded on that pago of American his tory wherein ho tlgurcs as a parlici putor in the murder of a woman, who had hardly suffered tho cruel death to which he helped lo drive her, beforo sho was behoved to bo innocent. If we were called upon to draw a com pitrison, we should liken Bingham to the infamous Jeffreys. Liko Jeffreys. his hands aro stained with tho blood of a helpless woman, and ho is always ready, as tho Judgo of tho JJIoody Assizes said of himself, lo "giro a lick with tho rough side of his tonguo." It was this propensity ho Indulged when ho gave "n lick" lo his opponents "with the rough sido ol his tonguo, in tho Houso of Representatives the othor day, and if Grunt could organize a circuit and givo Bingham a commis sion, this modern Jeffreys would quick ly discover Iho other propensities of his prototype; and ro innugnralo the horrors over which ho gloated.

The Now York correspondent of tho Boston Journal says : Somo of our popular pastors have a hard - timo of it in resisting calls, which pour in from every quarter.

Tho thriving town of Klizabolhtown has completed a very church ly Duplist edifice, and the society wanted a min ister to fit the church, Mr. Gallachcr was tolocted, and a call regularly made out. A wealthy man in the parish, who has any quantity of land to sell, contributed toward the salary $5,000 a year, whilo tho church wss to raise 12,000. His presont church, not to bo outdono, raised his snlury lo tho samo plana. Then the spirit of rivalry commenced between the two, tho pastor being nenrly torn to pieces and distraclcd. Last woek he called his official men together, and an nounced that ho should stay with bis present charge.

The PhiloBopher Caricatured. A party of friends wero on a train from '" York with Horace Greeloy the other day, when tho farmer of Chapaqua was awfully victimized by a nowsboy. who cither did not know him or was most wickedly inclined to poke fun at him. . Horueo was tern Lly disgusted, but lo the astonishment of his friends, didn't rip out n singlo oath. The scone Is thus described 1'resenlly tho train boy oumo along with a bundlo of weekly periodicals, in ono of which were two or three ontrsgeous caricatures of tho philoso pher, and one ol these ho toaaexl into Air. Greeley's lap. The sago took ft up mocliunienllyund glanced ut the caricatures. I ho paasungora were in a torment, . Tho good man would cur tuinly rip out an oalb. Not so, how- over. , He looked blankly at tho pic luro ol himscll lor a moment and turned tho paper over to M r. Johnson without a comment. Tho boy came again and took the periodicals tip. - On his very next round bo earned a bundlo of phamphloU, entitled (lid "Comio Lift) of Horace Greeloy," a production liberally illustrated with Iho most aggravating caricatures of tho great sage, lie throw ono ol them into tho philosopher's lap, with a flop, and, to make assurance doubly euro, popped ono into tho hands of each member of the party. . Tho first pic ture, on tho outer page of this produc tion, it a view of iho lusty patriarch being hot pod over tho Wiito House wall by a pitchfork, and inside U a sccna representing hint on Iho nug "Protection," rating for the White House against Victoria Woodhull on her steed "Free Love." The fiend of a train-boy dropped this boinlialiell into tho party and cheerily continued his round. Tho philosopher gazed ul this hid eous phuinphlol long and sadly, us if sorrowing that humanity could havo reached such a depth of degredution, turned onco and looked solemnly at the door through which the fiendish train boy hud disappeared, and laying the phutnphlct aside, silently turned again to his newspaper.

One of our groat social needs is a rational, more enlightened way ot spending on eve ning w hen we aro surfeited with thea tres, concerts, clubs, etc., and the home attractions need a little enliven ing.

AiVdisrort ( Fa ) tiftctaw, In this county, as in ft" other conn ties in this Commonwealth, thcie are those who will come under ihe provi sions of tho now ptinsion bill just passed; by Congress, on which tho PhiludoW nhia lnauirtr has tho following re marks: "Tho most unfortunsto of the soldiers who fought for tho Union are to bo provided lor so ns lo give thorn. advantages beyond tno ordinary pen. sioners. The maimed, the halt, tho blind and the (leaf aro to be the ob jects of ibis bill. In tho proportion between the vurious pensiunert ma rates determined upon, however, seem to havo been founded on a strange philosophy. For instance, a soldier who has good eyesight in both eyes, f;ood hoaring, and whoso power of ocoinolion by bis foot aro oxccllont. is to receive filly dollars a month, if he has lost both of his hands ; if he has tho same advantages in seeing, hoaring and has also two hands which ho mny use, but has lost both fuel, he is lo receive but forty dollars a month, thus dourly showing, in Iho opinion of Congress, that u man's hands are worth 120 peranuum more lhan his feet. But it the soldier is but hull dis abled in baud or toot and hat ono of eilhor members which ho can use, ho is not put upon tho ratio of half tho pension which would havo beon paid bim if had lost both members. . Twen ty-five dollars a month would seem lo be the exact rutin where bat a single limb is lost if filly dollars is tho just payment for tho loss oi both. IJttt this bill proposes to givo to the single handed or singlo looted pensioner thirty dollars a month, although it must be evident that a person who has one hand and ono foot has an nd vantugo which makes hint considera bly more favored than ono hull over the man who hits lost both members. Theso distinctions are odd, but tho most unaccountable- in the bill is that which relates to the totally blind. Whilo a soldier who can seo and hear and walk and talk gets fifty dollars a month boeuase he bus lost both hands, Iho totally blind man, who can do very litt'o except with assistance, ro ceives ten dollars a month loss than the good sighted man who has no hands. The philosophy of this dis tinction does not seem very clear. Tho mull without hands may, by tho uso of artificial limbs, do something, and not bo utterly helpless, but tbo blind man is Iho most wretched of all, if ho is poor and these pensionoin aro poor. In tho controversy of hands vs. oyes tho world generally would be disposed to say that eyes are most important. But Congress does not soe in to think so, und tbo distinction taken in this bill seem to bo arbitrary rather than wiso. n : t i t , . A Few Questions. Is thore-nny thing gained by a hashing- and ro buahing of family matters before childron or slraugers? .- Aro children taught to lovo and obey a parent by hearing his or her failings diecurwejj or do sivanijcrs im provo matters by interfering ? Cer tainly it spoils a visit when quarreling, bickoriug, twitting and flinging up of each other's faults, take Ihe placo, be tween husband und wife, of pleasant hospitality und general conversation, As children grow up they learn the 4lftfclifU- -o tliwur fMWOH U iaot enuilirl without being told of llioin whilo loo young to understand that no ono it perfect. , Who thinks more of a man. because bo Uiunts his wife boioro strangers ; that she is a ."perfect gad about, taking no interest in home;" or that sho "hns no government, and is ruining the children by indulgouce;' or that "his young ones aro fools and their mother ia willing to let them grow up so rather than drive thorn to their books with a birch rod, which thoy need throe limes a day." Aro a) woman's charms enhanced when she asserts beforo a totally uninterested party, thnt hertmsrmnd is a "perfect tyrant and treats his wife and child dreu as if thoy were; brutes ?" or "that be neglects his family and takes his pleasure abroad." Theso aro very dolicate subjoclt which ought never to. be mentioned before children or oat. sidcrs, if people would have homo as pleasant us possible to nil who como within its influence.

It will interest many of our readers to know that Ihore are a number of words in tho English language each of which con tains all tho five regular vowols, but it would puzzlo almost any one to think of more than one or two at short no tice.- The following may bo givon as examples : Education, ruc-ntaliun, reg ulation, emulation, perturbation, men suration, repudiation. Besides these, there are several words each contain ing all the vowels, including the "y." Of those wo may mention revolution ary, elocutionary and unquestionably. a tie woru indivisibility may bo noted as a peculiar word, ior it contains tbo letter "i six tunes.
