A SON OF OLD XACK, WllO WAS A CONFKD ERATI LIEUTENANT GENERAL THE HTonT OF 1111 CAREER HOW HE Achieved military rip vtation and social distinction. General Richard Taylor, died at Now York on the 11th ot April. The sad news carried grief to thousands in this country and sorosd, for General Tay lor was personally widely known in European u well as American capitals, not only as an accomplished soldier, who bore high rank in tho Sou thorn army during the late rebellion, but as a gentleman of unusual "obolarey attain ments, rare social qualities and cosmo politan ustes. lie went to New York some time sgo to supervise the issue of nis dook oi war momorics, "Uestruo lion and Reconstruction," through the press of if. Appieton a (Jo. p or sev ernl years his health has been failing. but only within tho last month were oerelopod symptoms ol a dropsical af fection which brought his life toa sud don close before many ot his friends weio aware that bo was ill. Mr. and Mrs. Burlnw wore old friumls of his family. Thoy, with his physician, Dr. Austin Flint, jr., and his sister, Mrs. Dandridgo, of Virginia, were with him in his last hours. General Richard Taylor, the only son ot Zachary Taylor, tenth President of the United States, and brother-in-law of Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, was born near Louisville, Ky.,on the 27th of January, 182G. His early boyhood was spent in following bis father from post to post on tho frontier, and he scarcely knew how be received the rudiments of oducation. Ho picked up French among the Creoles, derived military ambition from observation ot bis lather and bis troops, learned lessons of free dom and forlitndo from the Indians against whom his father fought, and among his kindred in Virginia wan in doctrinated in the chivalry and Slate's rights dogmas of tho oldm-bool South erners. But General Taylor designed bis son for a high walk of life, and in duo time ho entered bim for a complete collcgiute training. When thirteen years old the boy was sent to Edin burgh Scotland, were ho was throughly drilled for three years in Latin and other studies. He then Bpcnt about a year in France. Returning to Ameri ca, ho received privato tuition for two years from M r. Brooks, of Lancaster, Mass., and entered the Junior class at Harvard in 1834, and was graduated two years later. From -college ho went lo camp again. Tho Mexican war was goinif on and ho became an aide-de-camp to bis father. In this ca pacity he was present at the battle ot Palo Alta, Resara do la 1'alma and Monterey, but being obliged by sick ness to return homo, he miseed his father's great victory oi Bucna Vista. Upon tba death of bis lather on July 5, 1850, alter having only lived a year in the Presidency, Richard Taylor took as a portion of his patrimony a sugar estate iu Louisiana, which he worked with success until the breaking out of the rebellion. General Taylor was one of the fow men in the South whose views were in marked opposi tion to those of bis Iriends, Senator Slidell and Jefferson Davis, both of whom beliovcd in the necessity and propriety of immediate separation from the Union, lie urged very warmly a settlement of tho political questions through peaceful means. When the overwhelming tide of secession came, carrying with it all ranks and class at the South, with rare exceptions, General Taylor quiotly sub mitted himself to the action ol his State and retired to bis plantation with bis family, meaning to take no part in the contest. But almost immediately afterward be was appointed hy the Governor to tbocolonolcy of tho Ninth Louisiana infancy, a regiment just formed at camp on the railway some miles north ot iow Orleans, and under orders for Richmond. Ho lull it to be his duty to accept tho appointment to serve his htoto, and but regiment reached Richmond on tho eve of the day on which the first battlo of Bull Run was fought. From that time he served tbe Con fed racy with an ardor and earnostness which were character istic of his race. In the organization of tbe Southern army General Taylor's regiment was brigaded with tho Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Louisiana infantry, and placed under General II. T. Walker, of Geor gia. About this time his health gave way with constant nursing the sick In his command, and a persistent low fever sapped his strength and impaired tba uso ot bis limbs, and be was order ed to tbe Fauquier springs, sulphur water, soma twenty miles lo the south. On the evs of returning to tho army ho learned ot his' promotion to bliga dior, lo roliove Genoral Walker, trans ferred to a brigade ot Georgian.,. The famous "fiirers," battalion recruited on the levees and in the alleys of New Orleans, where in General Taylor's briirade. commanded by Major Wheat. So bad was the reputation of this bat talion that every commander ucsiroa to be rid of it. General Johnston promised to sustain Gen. Taylor In any measures tor oniorce aisoipuno, unu it was sot long before the fu Itilmenl of the proraiso was exacted, ror oisoruony conduct several of tho "Tigors "were tri ed by Court Martial and ordered to be sbet. Tba order was oarried out, and was the first military exooutionin the army of tba Northern Virginia. General Taylor s first remarkable service in tho war was in Stonewal. Jackson's famous campaign in the val ley or Virginia. Al rort itepuune tbe Louisiana brigade carried tbe day and responded with cheers lo Jackson s command, "the battery must be tak en I" General Taylor was not a groat admirer of Jackson, whom be has des cribed as a man given over to lomon sucking and prayers. On this occa sion, riding on the flank of his column, between it and tbe hostile lino, be aaw Jackson beside bim. Taylor did not consider that this was the place for the commander ol lha army, and ventured to tell bim so ; but he paid no alien tention to tbe remark. "We reavehed a shallow depression where tbe enemy could depress bis kuns," says General Taylor, ''and bis fire became closo and ratal. A! any men fell and tho whistling of shot and sholl occasioned much dnckimr of beads in the column. , This annnved me do little, as it was bat child pluy to the work immediately in band.

The following Inoidont shows anoth er side of General Taylor's character ana or llio war. Un one occasion passing the little hamlot of Grand Coteau, be stopped to got some food for himsolf and none. A pretty maid en ot fifteen summers, whose paronts wore abaont, welcomed him. ller lus trous eyes and long lashes might have excited the envy ot "tbe dark eyed girl of Cadis." Finding her alone be was about to retire and try bis fortune in another bouse ; but she insisted that she could prepare Monsieur un diner aansvn lour de mam and sho did. Seated by the window, looking modestly on the road while be was enjoying bis re- Sast, she sprang to her feet, clapped er hands joyously and exclaimed, V la grot Jean-liabtiste qui passe sur son mulct avec aeux boeals. An I nous au- rons grand bal eesoir. It appeared that one jug ot tbe claret meunt a dunce, but two a regular break down. As the youthful hostess declined any re muneration for her trouble, Gonoral Taylor begged hor to accent a pair of plain gold sleeve buttons, bis only or naments, Wondor, delight and grati tude chased each other across the pleasant lace, and tho confiding little creaturo put up her rosebud mouth, in an instant the homely room became me bower ot mania, and the Uoneral accepted tbe chaste salute with all the revorunce of a subject for his queen, thon rode away, with uncovered head as long as she remained in sight. "It was lo tins earthly paradise ana upon this simple race," says General Taylor, "Ibat the war came like the tree ol tbe knowledge of evil to our early pa rents." ' Made a Msior General on Stonewall Jacksons recommendation bo was transformed to the command of West Louisiana. Ho was in the famous Red Hirer campaign, in the Spring of 1864, in which ho acted under tho orders of Genorul E. Kirby Smith, lie encoun tered Hank s army moving from Alex andria, and gained two of tbe most important victories for tho Southern side. It was on these occasions that he issued those wonderful impassioned addresses that inspired his soldiers and rang through the wbolo south. After tho battlo of l'lcasant Hill, Genoral Taylor was for pursuing the enomy to tho water's edge, and con templating the destruction of Banks and l'orter, indulged the prospoct of thus overthrowing tbe enemy s power and opening the way to New Orleans. r)ut the commanding general did not favor this view. Taylor almost defied General Smith and took the responsi bility of changing a reconnoisance into a battle, and ou tho commencing of tbe action ho bad declared to Gen. 1'olignao, who commanded one ot bis divisions, "Little Frenchman, I'm going to fight Banks here it be baa a million of men. A dospatch from Gonoral Smith came to him in the midst of the battle, or dering him to withdraw near Sbrevo port "Too late, sir," said Taylor, to the carrier wbo brought it ; "the battle is won. It is not the first 1 have fought with tbe baiter around tny neck." Fortunately for him be ob tained a victory, but it was pretty clearly shown afterward that bad ho obeyed orders and waited for Lis sup ports it is improbable any portu n of Banks' forces would have esctped. The conscquonco of the disagreement botween General Taylor and Smith was that the former was made a lieu tonant general and transferred east ot tbe Mississippi and given command of what was popularly known aa the de partment of the Southwest, comprising bast Louisiana, Mississippi and Alaba ma. This command surrendered to General Canby on May 4, 1865. On being asked wbelhor the trans-Missis- sippi army ought to be aurrendered ho quickly replied, "Yes ; surrender it as soon aa possiuie. i ou are oniy sitting up with a corpse. I sat with it until it was blue, and it you delay much longer it will become too offensive for docent burial." General Taylor gives tho following account ot the conversa tion preceding bis surrender. "Gon oral Canby mot mo with much nrban- ty. We rotirod to a room and in a few moments agreed upon a truce, ter minable alter lorty-eigbt hours by cither party. Then, rejoining tho throng of officers, introductions and plonsunt civilities passed. I was happy to recognise Commodore (altorward Admiral) Jumcs 1'ulmor, an old irlend. He was second to Admiral Thatcher, commanding the United Statos squad ron in Alomie bsy and bad come to meet mo. A bountiful luncheon was spread of which w all pnrtook with joyous poppings of champagne corks tor accompaniment, tno nrsiagreeanio explosive sounds 1 bad heard tor years. The air of "Hail Columbia, which the band in attendance struck up, was instantly changed by Canby'a soldior'a to "Dixie :" but 1 insisted on the first and expressed a hope that Columbia would be again a nappy isna, a sonti mont honored by many libations." Ho says: "There tho great war virtually ended. After this not singlo gun was fired, and the authority ot the Unitod Slates was supremo In the land. The connuered ohietlain made bis way to Mobile, accompanied by a singlo aid, having to sell their horses to buy bread and meat. From Mobile he went to Hew Orleans. It did not take bun long to find out that he was ruined in fortune and at forty years of ago must make a fresh start in life. As soon as the field of politics was open to ex Confoderates he resumod active parti cipation in publio affairs. He went to r asningwH w uuiai.i fi iiiiwiuii w to visit his valued friend, Jefferson Davis. Imprisoned at Fortross Monroe, wbo was connected with him by mar riage., lie succeeooa, ana an invurom ing part of his book is devoted to tbe story of his interviews with President Johnson, Socrotary Stanton, Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner and other prominent men of tho day on this busi ness, ilia polished pen was dipped in vitriol when be wrote ot those worthies of the war period. In the same year he figured in tho Johnsonian National Union Convent ton, bcio in rniiaaoi phla. For several years be was con nected with the publio works ot Louis iana, but went abroad on private, busi ness in 1874. His reception therein aristocrnlio circles has scarcely an American parallel, except In the ease of Charles Sumner. lie first gainod notorioty at the Lon don clubs Xy bis admirable skill at a whist player. He was a disciple of Uoyle and the older school of players, and cared little for the modern niceties of the name. His memory was won derful, and be never lorgot a card. The Enulisb club mon, who had learned their acience from James Clay, Caven dish and Pole, were astonished at this old fashioned player, who beat them in spit) of their rales and formulas. So General Taylor's faros came to- tba PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN. PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1879. oars of tho Prince of Wales, who loves a rubber next to a tigor hunt, and they met at tbe Marlborough clubono night and played together. J. bus began an intimacy wuiuli endured to the last. Whorovor the Prince went, whothor to Sandringnam for a whiff of rustic air, or to Scotland to stalk tbe deer, or to tho races at Ascot, or to the Uni versity boat race on the Thames, tbithor be was certain to invito Gen era! Taylor. He introduced him at Winsor to tho Queen and tbo Queen was so charmed with his company that she prayed him to stay for a week at the Castle. When the Prince went to India he invited General Taylor to be one of the party. But tbe Genoral preferred to stsv in London and mnnv a quiet rubber was played at the Marl borough house by tbe i'rincoss, the Duke of Cambridge and tbo American, while tbe Prince was riding in an ele phant bowdah tbrdugh the junglos of jNopaul. in the royal box at Ascot bis figure was laminar to every jockey on tbe course, though bis means never allowed bim to own race horses and rarely to bet. Uno wagor bo took, however, bo took the issue ot wbicb troubled bim to fhe last. Ho was on the Princo's boat following tho Uni versity crews when the Earl of Dud ley, spying some token ol rronch im perialism on the lawn at Chiswiek, suddenly cried that be would bet 4.5. 000 to 10, twice over, that the Napo leonic dynasty was never restored in Franco. Tbo Prince of Wales took one of these bets. General Taylor took the other, and he has ever since re garded the metamorphoses of French politics with an uncommonly wistful eye. But despite this now-horn ardor for imperialism he was received with much distinction in Paris by MacMa hon, and oven the rugged Bismarck greeted him with warmth that savor ed of personal friendship. Indued bis passage across tbe Continent was one of unalloyed triumph and the first gen tlemen ol I'.uropo were proud to call him their friend. At tho root ol this prodigious snc cess lay his wonderlul faculty for be ing all things to all men. Whatever the topic of conversation might be to that bo would adapt himsolf. To men of a younger generation he wns par ticularly charming. When tho faster members of tho Prince of Wales' set would meet at Marlborough ho wr.uld discuss coaches with Lord Caring ton, cock pheasants with Lord Ayleslord and tbe latest borse race with Lord Charles Bercslord. In tbe park, with tho Princess and children, his manner was redolent of antique chivalry. At the turf club bo would arrange handicaps with Admiral Rous and help Lord itosebory make bis book tor tbo Newmarket meeting. At tho Athennum be would cross literary swords with Sir Charles Dilko, at the Unitod Sorvico would discuss military tactics with Sir Garnet Wolsely and Lord Napier, of Magdala. Nothing camo amiss to him. Goorge Otto Tre velyan, nephew ot Lord Macaulay, read hia arliclo In the Aorm American Jievlem, and said there wbs in bim the stuff of a great military writer. States men listened with delight to bis dis sertations on the American constitu tion. Von Mollke himself gave in bis honor the dinner at which ho mot Prince Bismarck. Everywhere he spread about him tho charm of his personality, and nothing distinguished him from tbe crowd ot raconteurs more than this, that bis conversation was never forced or out of place, never la bored or prepared boforohand, welling up naturally from the stores ot a natu rally rich mind. With many of his foreign frionds he kept up correspondence afler his re turn to America, and bus been much sought after by those visiting this country. In 1875 General Taylor be came Interested in the canvass of Mr. Tildon for the Presidency, and proba bly did more than any other man to bring tbe South to bis support. With tho inugu ration of Mr. lluyos his po litical zeal abated somewhat, and be has since spent most of bis timo at Winchester, where he has many friends, with occasional visits to New York and Washington. 11 is book, "De struction and Keconstruetion, was printed about a fortnight ago. It is in some respects the niostTemarka- ble of Confederate contributions to tbe history of the war. General Taylor was a man of profound scholarship, which gave bis writings a fino finish, and wielded a caustic pen, which be used unsparingly. Ho criticised not only Union Generals, but his own com rades above and below bim in rank without reserve, and in language so striking that it can hardly fail to live in tbe memory ol the reader, uis warm friendship for Jefferson Dsvis is shown all through the book, despito an almost puinliii vflort to bo impartial.

WHY THE SHAD COME VP THE DELAWARE, AND WHERE THir ARE CAPTURED FOR THE CITY TRADE. Tbe Philadelphia Record relates the following ' fisb story :" "Between the shad fishers and tbe milliners there ex ists a fellow-feeling that words cannot convey. Ibis unreasonable weather has struck tho spring bonnet trade in a vital spot, and has totally dished the calculations of tbe fishermen. The aliud is a coy fish, and dislikes to pro ject its tender little body into a stream that is tempered with the nipping winds that March has entailed to April. i no men oi nots are getting ready lor tho fish, and, even now. hundred ot cork floaters dance upon the waves of the Delaware, suspending tbe network that ends tbo career of all fisb that become entangled in its moshes. Tbe visits of tho shad into the Delaware are entirely of a family nature. During the greater portion of the year the fish make their home in the bosom ot tbe ocean, wboro tho temper ature is not given to such Jack-in-lba- bok performances as it indulges in In this quarter. But when enrine Duta n its appearance in timo, and tbe icy temperature is taken from tbo wators, the motherly shad, with hor malo es cort, swims up tho river to deposit ber eggs, and, having performed this duty, sports in tbe stream for a while and returns. It is while on this errand of nature that the shad fishers swoop tbe stream with their trcachorous nots, and haul in the victims that at this season form such a prominent place upon all well regulated tables. lrueto their instincts, tbe fish so far have been backward in their ex peditions up tbo Dolawaro. But there are exceptions to all rules, and a few ventursome mothers have endeavored to reach the city, but many of these nover passed the barrier of floating traps which the Gloucester fishermen spread across the river. In the middle of March of last yoar Delaware shad were plontilul in tbe market, and no family was supremely happy without a fino specimen of the tribe as a central piece on tbe dinner table. Down in tbe bay at points a tew miles this side of the Delaware the gill net corks have been bobbing on tno waters jor two weeks, but thoy have bobbed, comparatively, to little purpose, for tbe fish have dotailed in tbe ocean, knowing lull well that the sun has not yet bad power enough to take tne disagreeaoio cbill Irom the great stream that divides New Jorsoy Irom Pennsylvania. Bright warm sunny mornings are required, and when tbey shall have come then Delaware shad may be expected in untold num- bors. Even now, when paying returns ate not expectod, a squadron of small boats, engaged in casting nets, rides upon tbe waters of the big bend be low Gloucester. In the evening, just when tbe suu is sinking, or when the tides swing around Irom ebb to Dow, or vice versa, these smsll crafts shoot out from the shores undor the motive power of two brawny fishermen, who cast their nota and wait lor finny vic tims. All along the shores on both sides of the stream fishermen aro at work mending and lengthening their note that they may be ready for the Bhad when luey shall begin to make their excursions up the stream. By Mon day tho entire flotilla will be in work ing ordor, and thon may the late sleeper expect to havo his slumbers disturbed by tho lusty-lunged shad- woman crying ber goods upon tho stroots. II thon Old Front can be in duced to conspire with tbo superin tendent of the celestial weather de partment, and April smiles, as tho poets and almanac men say she should. then will tbe milliners rejoice, and tbe sbad men sing botannas as thoy drag from the wators their hoavily-laden nets. In point of fact, the greater supply of shad for this market comes from a point further down tho river than Gloucoster, but when tho fishers at that station are making big hauls, tho presumption is that tho season is fully inaugurated. At this point there are only about forty gilling nets employ ed, engaging in tboir care about eigh ty men, Ibo nets are sunk by means of ropes attached to cork floaters, about soventeen foct below the surface, that they may escape the keols of tbe large and havily-larion vessols in tbeir passage This point boasts of tbe largest not in tho flub trade used upon tbo river. This is the "big draw," a web of woven twine that is fully a mile in length. Some time next wcok this immense drag is to be cast Into the stream, and then woe to tho shad that endeavors to reach the city with its cargo of roe while the net floats in the stream. One ond of the net is secured to a stout indlass on the shore, and then, with tbe aid of a score of small boats, maa- ned by forty men, it ia stretched np the stream. Whon it has floated down with tba tide nntil almost opposite the ndlass, the stream end la secured to tho boats and dragged in. It literally scours the stream, and the result of the haul generally fills the souls of the bronsed tshermen with joy unbound ed. So soon. then, at clear skies and warm tuns prevail, then will the sbad women, the milliners and the flsbor- men rejoice. A noted policeman was so fond of being "dead headed" everywhere, that when some ol his friends wore debat ing bow to get him to attend eharcb, one of thorn said : "Charge an admit aion fee and be'll be after a pats before breakfast." A Dhvsioian'e little daughter, called noon for a toast, said : "The health of papa and mamma and all tbe world." But ahe auddenly corrected tba seo la ment, ' Not all tbe world, fur than papa would have palieata." GALLOWS FRUIT AND THE EFFORTS OF DOCTORS TO BRING IT TO LIFE. (Alias ta Coa.littlloB.l Tbe banging of Knox Martin, in this city, attracted an immonso assem blage. As Martin dropped, a number oi eager doctors galhorod around bis suspended form. Afler the aiigbt con vulsive movements bad stopped, they began to apply tests to discover wben animation ceased. It had bocomo gen erally known that an effort would be made to restore Martin to life. By many it was treated Jestingly, but with the little knot of professional men about the scaffold tho matter waa a serious one. The report of tho pro posed experiment had spread through the crowd, and it was with the utmost difficulty tbe police could keep any- tning like order, in ten minutes all the doctors bad pronounced Martin dead. With a distrust natural when doctors had such an interesting subject in prospect, onerin I'rice mado tbem look bint in the eye and give their opinion, bull to prevent any possible trouble in tbe case tbe oxporiment proved unsuccessful, the Sheriff would not let the rope be cut until fully niteen minutes bad passed. Mr Cotton bad no sooner cut tbe strand than tbe eager hands of tbe medical men cased the rope to the ground. It was tbe work of an instant to removo tbe loop from bis neck, and efforts were at once taken to restore tbe dislocated bones to place and relieve tbe pressure on the spinal cord. Tho coffin was pulled from under the scaffold, and the dead body placed therein. Several persons took bold, and surrounded by physi cians, students and curious spectators, the coffin was hurriedly taken to the orown of an adjacent bill. Here a cow-shed had been -covered with can vas. A guard of police wot on band, but nothing could restrain the im potuosity of the crowd. The coffin was brought in and laid on tbe ground. Soverul persons roughly crowded in, until tbe air became so hot and closo that breathing was a difficult opera tion. Tbe crowd outside pressed up to the shed and now and then a plank would be pulled off to give a hotter viow of the interesting proceedings within. Some of the more adventur ous started to mount tho top of tbe shed, while tbe apprehensive cries of those inside, fearful of a falling in, mingled with the curses and demands of more room. Thoy pressed bard on tbe body of the negro, and evon bad he been half alive, bis chances of resurrection would have been small. Just as soon as the coffin dropped to the ground, Martin's shirt, pants and shoes woro torn off, and then began a vigorous rubbing ot bis legs and arms, while efforts were made to restore breathing by alternate pressure and re laxation on tbe chest. His head was raised, and in a minute a strong gal vanic battery was attached. All be gan to work and watch for the least signs of returning consciousness. The perspiration poured from tbe brows of the experimenters, and with more than one of tbem there was a feeling of faintness. Remarks, not expressive of the least possible chance of the doctors' success, were fully passed around, but sun tba medioal men worked away, and tho spectators craned their necks for a glance now and then at the object ot so much interest. At last convuls ive twitching of the musolet of the face waa noticed. Then a movement waa doscribable in bis limbs, and finally tbe most romarkablo and satisfactory portion'of tbe oxporiment the body gave three deep drawn gasps for air. Alter that tbe ettorts soemed to meet with no response, and shortly tbe doc tors ceased operations. 1 be experiment proved an interest ing if not entirely successful ono. With the usual length of time for hanging, and a place where plenty of pure air could have been obtained, there it some probability that Martin might have been revived. . Tho crowd finally began to disperse. Martin's body was piaced in an ex press wagon and taken to the medical college Hero it was dumped, sans everything but bis white shirt, Into the receptaclo at the loot of the elevator. The long pulling rope was attached, and the body hauled up lo the dissect ing room, a heavy load for four pair of bands. Thrown out on tbo floor. tho magnificent proportions oi the murder woro the subject of comment, his six toet or more ol height showing a fine manhood, rrom a casual ex amination of his neck, it was determ ined tba fall had produced dislocation, and his death was an easy and im mediate one. Another fact worthy of comment was tbe exoeeding small forehead Martin had, the cranium slop ing back almost directly from the eye brows. -. BUSINESS CARES, It ia a good sign, sayt the Albany Press, when a man ia proud of his business. Yet how common it is to hear men finding fault with their busi ness and representing themselves as unfortunate, because they are bound to obtain B living. This class of men are continually fretting and actually de stroy all tnecomiort thoy would other wise take in their work ; or what is worse, chanire their business and ao on from bad to worse, shilling from one thing to another? sntil they find themselves without home or shelter. But while a man tails at many noble man has, because hit peculiar taloot was not suited to bis business, still it often happens that failure resnltt from neglect ot honest business. Tbe busi ness man who would sneeoed, must put hia heart into all he does. There is no profession that has not Its peculiar carot and vexations, no man win et- capo these by changing hia business. The rallying word is suck to ynnr business u yon would prosper, no kind of business it altogether agreea ble, nor will it giva you money with out ttruggling. Commerce in all dopartmenta or trade, is afflicted, like all other pur suits, with triala, unwelcome losses, and necessities to effort and labor, both mental and physical, each aa tbe ordi nary business man knows nothing of. It ia the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out tba "Ire la and pull backs of bis calling, and giving np bis mind every day to such reflections.

The citizens of Penn township meet every two weoks at Ponnville and de vote part of a day in debating ques tions bearing upon tbe issues ot the day. A few weeks since, the question of Chinese Immigration wasveryably discussed. On the night of the same day a Literary Society is bold, in which the young folks of the commu nity participate. The enterprise is an exemplary one. Tbe examinations lor tbe higher grades of certificates took place In Curwensville on Friday and Saturday of last week. The namos of those wbo passed the examination tor professional certificates are withheld. This certi ficate being a credential of honor, the requirements that governed tbe exam ination were auch as will have a ten dency to elevate the profession and make this grade or oertincata attaina ble only by th persovering and faitb- ful. A un vuimiiiibro uu ivi uiu licit c.i - tificates examined three applicants. Afler the annual settlement of each School Board, in Juno, they are re quired to make out their report and certificate, and mail tbe eauie to us.

The ooleauvstioal guerilla has oon ttantly been a trouble to tba regular forces of the Church, whether Catholla or Provnalrnt, In early and in later time. With every generation baa arisen a data ol zealot who could not endure tba regular and somewhat mo notonous disciplin of tba great body of tba clergy, and became what In thet daya are called evangelists, tbe tcoutt ot tba wart of the faith. If tbe clergy could, there ia but little doubt that they wouid suppress them entirely, but that not being possible, tbe next best thing it to limit tbeir authority In matters which the body of clergy think properly witbin their jurisdiction only. An enort, wun this end In view, bat just been made In Missouri. Bofore tbe Legislature or that estate it a bill regulatinz marriage licenses. An as sociation of ministers in St. Louis, wben discussing the bill, passed a res olution in favor of an amendment re quiring every minister, performing a marriage oereraony lo furnish the Clerk of Court with proof that he ia in good standing with bit denomination, and recognized at a lawfully ordained min ister. A member of tbo association, in urg ing Ibis amendmont, cited as an argu ment in ila favor, that whenever a wandering preacher stops at a place and manages to start a reviv,il, it ia aura to be followed by numerous mar riages among the converts, and that bo is invariably asked to officiate at the weddings. The only objection brought against that is, that lew know any thing ol the history of these hot gos pellers and that marriage ceremonies are performed by some of tbem with out authority irom eliber God or man. The minister making ibis objeotion citod a recent Instance where an evan gelist bad just closed a series of spin led meetings when he waa arrested for bigamy. ibe amendment tuireeated was ac cepted by tbe author of tbe bill, and with it will probably become a law. Ila purpose is good, and its effect will be. Pittsburg Telegraph. THEY FADE EARLY. Tbia is what a traveler in Spain says: After a Spanish woman baa passed the age of thirty, her beauty vanishes like a dream. The Spaniards aro ungallant enough to say tbat wo man should die at tbat age. They usa so much powder that it dries and bardons tbe skin, and to good soap many of them are strangers. But a young Spanish girl is an attractive ob ject. Give her a becoming dress, and place in ber hand a fan, and she be comes almost irresistible. One cannot but marvel at the witchery grace and the fan, a thing of paper, lace and silk, possesses in hor hand. It must be an aceomplisbmont born with thorn, for tbe tiniest child handles hers with equal ease. They bave at many fans as Flora McFlintaoy bad bonnets, for no costumo is complete without a fan to match. But, charming as they are, they are not highly cultivated ; their education ia limited. A few of tho com mon branches with a smattering of French and Italian, a little music and dancingfinisbes it. Tbey are very in dolent, but that ia the fault of the cli mate.- Eating, dressing, a groat deal ol sleeping, a walk, going to church, a little fancy work, fills their day, the monotony of which la occasionally re lieved by a little flirtation tbat may only consist of a smile, a glance and a whispered word on the Alameda. Not until the wedding-ring haa been placed upon her finger can a Spanish woman enjoy full liberty, which is, all things considered, a wise arrangement. Romance and Fact Mixed. A sim ple announcement appeared in the pa pers recently that Lieut. Jerome bad resigned bit place in the army. Be hind this announcement la a bit or gossip worthy ot mention. Lieut. Je rome, who was graduated at West Point in 1870, is tho son of Lawrence W. Jerome, who was the Tammany candidate lor Congress In tbe Eighth (Now York) district last fall against Anson G. McCook. The Latter was elected. Lieut. Jerome was one ot the most gallant officers in the army. It was he w bo was commended tor bravery for voluntarily becoming a hostage in Chief Joseph's camp in Washington Territory, and hiding in the cave to escape the bullets of hit friends wben the Indians commencod their treach erous firing. IIo got six months' leave of absence for that, came East, and fell in love with Miss Sherman, daughter of the late Judge Sherman, of Cleveland. His Iriends claim tbat he bad reason to believe she recipro cated bis affections, but ahe married Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Jerome dissipated terribly, and was court-martialed for it, and found guil ty. Strange as it may aoem, Anson McCook, bis fathers opponent, it the man who gottho Secretary of War toallowyoung Jerome to resign instead of being dismissed from tbe service, and he resigned. A New Tempirence Strire. We notice that a noble movement, which promises to modify the crusade against intomperance, haa just been started under tho auspicies of tbo Nsw York "Business Men's Society for the En couragement of Moderation." Their first publio meeting waa bold last Fri day evening, the attendance being large eminently respectable and includ ing Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., lion. Tburlow Wood, Mr. O. B. Frothing- ham, Peter Cooper and F. B. Thurber. Tbe Society like the total abstinence men, propose to work oy means oi pledges. Una of those engages the signer, upon bis tacrod bonor, to ab stain from strong drink during busi ness hours. Lastly there is a pledge by which the signer may engage, upon his sacred bonor, to take nothing stronger than wine and beer and these only aimoelt and in moderation. These motbodt will find favor among many who are ot the opinion tbat if tba world cannot be made totally absti nent, so iar aa Intoxicating drinks aro concerned, a compromise should be) made with King Alcohol by whitb at least moderation may bo assured.
