THE Lvrii THADDEUS STEVEN'S : The
Washington National Intelligencer, which dur
ing the latter part of Mr. Stevens' life was his
bitter opponent, a few days since came out in
a very lengthy editorial eulogistic of Mr. s.'s
public and private life. We make the follow
ing extracts :
" Mr. Stevens was a man of such towering
intellect, and in his last days, so to speak,
made his mark in such iron characters upon
the historic page, that the slightest informa
tion concerning him in a private way is of
exceeding interest. * * * Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens, in his private relations with men,
illustrated to a very large extent the nobility
of human character. Had he acted upon ideas
which constitute the practice of most men
nowadays, he would at the date of his decease
have been ahnost a modern ()mesas. * * *
"In the latter day public career of Mr. Ste
vens his labors were immense, and as his
physical powers were declining, he was
obliged to be exceedingly circumspect in re
spect to his habits and efforts. He was through
life a temperance man in the strict sense of
the term, indulging only in a glass of wine or
other drink as a form of hospitality or courtesy
upon the occasion of the visit of old and val
ued friends, or possibly of some superior func
tionary. He therefore received with undis
guised dislike the prescription some years
before his death of the use of stimulants. He
was abstemious as to diet, eating but two
meals a day, and retiring very early and ris
ing late. He held that much sleeping or lying
in bed, even if not sleeping, was a great natu
ral restorer of exhausted nature. This is in
consistence with the modern scientific idea
that three or four hours' close mental labor
calls for twice the repose that does the same
expenditure of time in hand work, the call
being far greater upon nerve power and other
sources of vitality.
" Breakfasting at eight o'clock, Mr. Stevens
would at once proceed to dispose of his mail,
which was, of course, very large. Most letters
he would throw into the waste basket upon
sight of the names of the writers. When
once questioned as to the propriety of so do
ing, he answered that he knew the contents
by the names. It was Talleyrand who said
that 'most letters answered themselves.' The
few letters that Mr. Stevens wrote were com
prised in half a dozen lines. The most impor
tant took but a letter page, excluding party
or political ones which were also brief for
documents of that stamp. Until the last of
his life he but little utilized the labors of oth
ers in carrying on his correspondence.
" Mr. Stevens was opposed to the receipt of
the most common presents, such as canes, &c.,
in compliment of public service. As to what
was of a weightier character, his escutcheon
is without stain. On a certain occasion a
sealed package came to him which he sus
pected contained money as a reward tor Home
public service. While engaged for a moment
in another apartment, the package was opened
incautiously by an attendant. It contained a
great number of one thousand dollar bills.
Mr. Stevens, in causing a resealing of the
package, and its immediate return to the
source from whence it came, expressed great
regret that it should have been opened, be
cause he intended to return it intact, suspect
ing the contents, yet not wishing to know for
a certainty of what in its presentation he felt
to be a wound. Another package of $5,000
was returned with a stinging retort. That ho
had very many like olli!rs in motley and stocks
is likely, and that they were habitually refused
is sure, since that his estate is of the most
moderate value.
"That Thaddeus Stevens was not a half
millionaire, at least, from his professional and
business returns, is accounted for by his acts
of liberality to persons in need. We are es
sured that the long road of his life is marked
by monuments of generosity and humanity to
the needy. To old friends, no matter what
their aberrations, or political differences from
himself, he citing with the utmost regard.
They could always rely upon him in a dark
boar. Ills devoted service to Messrs. Gales&
Seaton is well known, and many others of his
political opponents now alive can attest his
generosity of character. We have heard, also,
of trimly of those higher acts of manhood and
statesmanship, during the war, which often
we-e in aid or the pardon of persons frovu
sentence of death or of imprisonment We
ourselves know of a very conspicuous case, in
which appeal was made in vain to President.
Lin t s dn. No public service would be sub
served by reciting partieulars.
Ill.ferring to his kindness as a public of
ii,•ial, and his indisposition to receive even the
most eommon presents, it should be stated
that be regretted that the ladies of the Treas
ury Department should have employed their
little means in making a present to him of a
gold-headed cane. Ills letter in reply to the
donors is suspected to be of a most interesting
character. The cane was put upon his win
dow sill by a colored boy, who immediately
iUsamteared. The same sentiments were ex
pressed by him on the occasion of the leaving
upon Ins table a gold snuff box, a present from
citizens or Colorado, in compliment of some
sorviee he had rendered that Territory. The
silly inscription upon it was: " When Old
Thad takes a pinch of snuff, Colorado will
suel,ze."
FATH RIL ABRA HAM : We tip our b lavers
to our cotemporaries of the Lancaster Daily
Express—the live newspaper of this city—fir
the following " lirst-rate notice :"
" Father Abraham: This paper, so popular
during the late campaign, the proprietors
have determined to continue as a permanent
weekly, and the first number under the new
"dispensation" appeared to-day, somewhat
enlarged and greatly improved. The editori
als are short and pangeut, and tho selections
and news items are culled with great care.
The famous letters of Pit Schwefflebrenner
will be continued in each number, as well as
a portrait of some distinguished Republican
politician or statesman. The number before
us contains an excellent portrait of Hon. Ed
ward McPherson, Clerk of the House of Re
presentatives. Father Abraham will be furn
ished to single subscribers for $1.50 per year,
with large reductions to clubs. Those desiring
to subscribe or raise clubs, should address
Rauch & Cochran, Lancaster, Pa.
A GOOD SELECTION : Thos. H. I3urtowes,
L. L. D., of this city, has been unanimously
elected to the Presidency of the Pennsylva
nia State Agricultural College, located in
Centre county. If Dr. Barrowes accepts the
position, thus so flatteringly tendered, the
College will have all the necessary adminis
trative ability which, it is said, is the only
thing required to make it a success.
HAMILTON SENTENCED: Thos. F. Hamil
ton, convicted at the August term of the
Court of Quarter Sessions for this county of
Felonious Assault on the Highway, Burglary
and Larceny, was sentenced on Monday by
Judge Hayes, to undergo an imprisonment of
ten years and six months in the Eastern Peni
tentiary at Philadelphia. The sentences were
as 'follows: Seven years for the Felonious As
sault on Jacob L. Landis, near this city; three
years for the burglary at a public school
house, near Eden, Manheim township; three
months for the larceny of a watch from Wm.
A. Beechler, and three months for the larceny
of a ton of coal from a limekiln in Manor
township. Au application for a new trial for
Hamilton, made at the August term, was not
granted.
BURGLARY : We learn from the Inquirer
of Saturday that a house occupied by two old
maiden ladies, named Elizabeth and Anna
Leech, near the Gap, in Salisbury township,
was visited by burglars on the night of the
12th inst. and robbed of about $25 in money,
several silk dresses, a number of silver spoons,
linen towels, and other articles. Two men
were engaged in the robbery. They entered
the room where the ladies were sleeping in
separate beds, lied them, and proceeded in
their infamous business. Some articles were
found the next morning in the road about two
miles east of the residence of the Misses
Leech. No clue to the robbers has been ob•
to fined.
SABBATH SCHOOLS : Though we a short
time ago published several articles on the
origin of Sabbath Schools, in which it was
shown that this institution was founded by
Ludwig Hacker, at Ephrata, this county, the
following article from the York True Demo
crat will be read with interest by all our
readers who are connected with Sabbath
Schools : It may not be generally known that
the State of Pennsylvania is entitled to the
credit of having established the first Sabbath
School ever known to the civilized world.
Ludwig Hacker, one of the leaders of the
Seventh-day Baptists at Ephrata, in Lancaster
county, was the father of this now sacred and
wide-spread institution. York, at that time,
was a part of Lancaster county, and hence
we may safely say that the origin of this
noble system belongs to us. The school was
started by this learned divine in 1740, in the
old monasteries belonging to the society of
which he was a member, and continued to be
held, uninterruptedly, until the year 1777,
when the progress of the Revolution occasion
ed its suspension for about five years, when it
was again resumed. The battle of Brandy
wine had been fought, and at the request of
General Washington, the monasteries were
converted into a hospital for the reception of
the sick and wounded of our army. During
the time the soldiers were there the school
was not held ; the state of things being such
as to render it impracticable. We are proud,
however, to recognize it as a historic fact and
thus confute a prevailing error, that this
school, established by Ludwig Hacker, was
the first known in this country or Europe.
Afterwards, in the year 1782, Robert Raikes
established a Sunday school at Gloucester,
England, and since that time they have
spread far and wide, bringing the young and
innocent to the feet of the Saviour and exer
ting their auxiliary influence in evangelizing
the world. The remains of Ludwig Hacker
have long since slept under a weeping willow
tree, in the quiet grave-yard near the ruins of
the old monasteries, where he spent his life in
the worship of God, and in doing good among
the young and the old of his fellow men. A
plain marble slab, bearing his name and his
age, marks the place of his sepulture. He
need no prouder monument. As long as the
sweet voices of the dear little treasures that
have been confided to our keeping, continue
to awaken the stillness of our churches and
altars at each returning Sabbath day, the
name of this good man will be remembered
and revered. He was the first ou this green
earth to take little children by the hand, and
learn them to lisp the name of their Saviour,
and by his plain, simple, but paternal instruc
tions, direct them on their way to heaven.
THE NEW STAMPS ON TOBACCO AND
CIGARS : The Secretary of the Treasury has
fixed the 23d day of November, 1868, as the
day when all the provisions of the law re
lating to the use of stamps upon tobacco,
snuff and cigars shall take effect. These
stamps will be as follows, viz :
1. Stamps for tobacco and snuff of twelve
denominations, viz : One half pound, 1 pound,
2 pounds, 3 pounds, 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 20
pounds, 21 pounds, 40 pounds, 50 pounds, 60
and 100 pounds.
2. Small stamps for cut tobacco and snuffs,
in packages of one-half ounce, 1 ounce and 2
ounces of the 32-cent class, and 2 ounces of
the 16-cent class.
3. Strip stamps for cut tobacco and snuff,
in packages of 4 ounces, 6 ounces, 8 ounces
and 16 ounces of the 32-cent class, and 4 ounces,
8 ounces and 16 ounces of the 16-cent class.
4. A stamp for tobacco intended for export
is required by section 74, act of July 20, 1868.
5. Cigar stamps for boxes containing 25, 50,
100, 250 and 500 cigars, respectively. These
must be used both for domestic and imported
cigars, and for cigarettes weighing over three
pounds per thousand.
6. Stamps for cigarettes weighing three
pounds or less per thousand and taxable at
$1.50. Until additional stamps shall be found
necessary, only one will be prepared, suitable
for boxes of live h undre(l each.
These stamps will be furnished to collectors
upon requisition, and with the exception of
the exportation stamp, will be sold to manu
facturers at their full value as indicated by
the tax on the quantity represented by each.
For each exportation stamp twenty-five cents
will be collected whom the entry is made for
the transportation of the tobacco to any ex
port warehouse.
If these stamps are delivered prior to Not•.
23, collectors may sell them to the manufac
turers, who may immediately commence
their use.
The monthly returns of tobacco and cigar
manufacturers for the month of Nov. must set
forth the whole quantity sold during the
month, the number of cigars stamped by the
inspector under the old law, and also the
quantity upon which tax-paid stamps were
affixed, and the tax will be assessed only upon
the quantity sold without tax-paid stamps.
A Bum: LAU, CAUGHT: On Sunday night
last, the office of Dr. S. H. Metzger, in the
residence of Alderman Amweg, in South
Duke street, this city, opposite Trinity Lu
theran. church, was entered by a burglar.
The Dr., whe sleeps in a room in the rear of
his office, was awakened, and called out
" Who is there," when the fellow retreated
through the window. The Dr., ran to the
front door, and hailed the Watchman at the
Farmers' Bank, who, with officer Hensler,
found a man snugly stowed away in a water
closet, in the rear of Iteigart's liquor store.
He was secured, and placed in the lock-up.
When brought before the Mayor, on Monday
morning, he gave his name as Michael As
kill. He gave no explanation of his conduct,
but denied the charge of burglary. He is
about 30 years of age, is a stranger here, and
is a daring looking fellow. He will no doubt
receive his deserts.
TURNPIKE ELECTIONS: At the annual
election for officers of the Marietta and May
town turnpike road company, the following
gentlemen were elected : John Hollinger,
President; H. M. Angle, John Musser, Barr
Spangler, B. F. Hiestand, Henry S. Musser;
C. C. P. Grosh, Secretary and Treasurer. A
dividend of $2.50 per share was declared.
The following gentlemen compose the new
board of directors of the Marietta and Mount
Joy turnpike road company : J. E. Kreybill,
President; A. H. Musselman, S. C. Hiestand,
David Engle, John G. Roemer, Paris Halde
man; S. P. Sterrett, Secretary and Treasurer.
ACCIDENT IN COLUMBIA : A shocking
and painful accident occurred at the Susque
hanna Rolling Mill, Columbia, on Monday
last. Au employee named Peter Cullin,
about thirty years of age, while passing a red
hot bar through the mill, made a misstep,
throwing him against the hot iron, which
penetrated his thigh to the thigh bone. Dr.
Hinkle was called in and immediately dressed
the wound, after which the sufferer was taken
to his place of boarding. He lies in a critical
condition.
THE Ditto LAW : At the last session of the
Legislature, a law was passed imposing a fine
of $25 for each Insectiverous hird killed at any
time of the year. This law ought to be en
forced, for the birds are useful in destroying
the insects which infest fruit trees, and de
stroy the fruit growing thereon.
WILD Mims : The slaughter of wild
ducks on the Susquehanna and rivers in Ma
ryland, commenced about ten days ago. The
first day that the law allowed gunning, over
4,000 ducks were killed on the Susquehanna
alone.
ADMITTED TO THE BAR : N. E. Slayma
ker, Jr., was, on Saturday last, on motion of
N. Ellmaker, esq., admitted to practice law
in the Courts of this county. We learn thtt
Mr. B. passed an excellent examination.
INLAND INSURANCE AND DEPOSIT COM
PANY : J. Cameron Muhlenberg has been
elected Treasurer of this Institution, in place
of John W. Jackson, resigned.

DON'T BE FRIGHTENED: A card
appeared in one of ourcity papers the oth
er day, froni a certain Sewing Machine Agent,
warning the public against "imposition,,tustn
eating that somebody with trying to impose up
on the people by offering for sale the A. B. Howe
Sewing Machine. That curd says the A.B. llowe
Sewing Machine is a "bogus" Howe Machine.
Now, we aro no particular advocate for that
machine, nevertheless it is a good machine,
possessing some merit, and not inferior to the
Simon pure Elias Howe, Jr., machine, about
BH
which so much blowing is made. A.
. owe is
a brother of Elias Rowe, jr., and a tar better me
chanic. lie is at the head of a Company in
Bridgeport, Ct., where his machines are manu
factured and sold. We suppose he has as good
a right to make and sell machines as Elias Howe.
If not, why didn't Elias stop him. He does not
Pretend to make Elias Howe machines, but sim
ply his own. He does not claim to"counterfeit"
machines. The agent of the Singer Machine in
this city has one of these machines in his office,
where the public are invited to call and see it
along side of the Elias Bowe machine. He has
not, we believe, offered it to any one, nor has
he ever tried to make anybody believe that it
was the Elias Howe, machine. We strongly
suspect that t he gent leman is really afraid some
body will find out that there are other as good
Sewing Machines in this market as he himself
is selling. lie must feel very much like the
Ephesians when they cried out "great is Diana."
The world is large, and there is room enough
for everybody in it, so we suppose there is room
enough for us to stay in Lancaster the balance
of our lives if wo choose to do so. But we shall
not stay here by telling the people that some
body else is dishonest, &c. Let everybody keep
their own consciences clean and let others live,
is our motto. \V. W. BEARDsLEE,
Agent of the Singer Sewing Machine,
