The following incident will serve to recall (tome of the stirring scenes of the late National misunderstanding. In 1801, when the Ninth Pennsylvania three months men marched out of West Chester on their way to the front they passed through Carli-le. \Y liile there the citizens of the town furnished thcin with a much neerletl breakfast, due ol tiie officers was the recipient of a hand some bouquet presented to him by a lady. A note was attached which lent a-follows : Accept these flowers with toy earnest prayer for your safe return, hut should you lull in the glorious cause ' may you go where flowers never wither ami the God of peace forever reigneth.' Since that time the officer has made numerous endeavors to find who the lady was, hut until recently he has been • unsuccessful, but a few day* ago he tliscovered her name and whereabout*, j and now proposes after seventeen years , to present the lady with nn engrossed copy of the note and also with the identical bouquet, which he has pre served all these long years. Republican bondholder* and Negro Hepndiators. From 11k Norfolk Virginia* fMa ) tin last Tuesday the negroes of Vir ginia had an op|ortunity of showing their gratitude to their Republican I a friends of the North and they showed j * it hv t<f in</ almost unaniim • 7 tliroughout | tiie State to repwliati the bonds of the state of Virginia, held to the extent of S< II "MA*),oo<> '.y th/ people nf th/ S'orth. How many of thene lx>nds are iteld by Jay Gould, the master of the New York Tribune, we know not, hut we trust lie has a sufficient share to make him appreciate the gratitude of his colored friends. Notr that the poisoned chalice has been returned to their own lips, we hope these Republican capitalists will appreciate the gratitude of the negro, and a* they count their loaes in the depreciation of the Virginia bonds, re member that to theiuelves they owe t ie repudiation which the white men of Virginia for their own soke and honor'* soke would have scorned to perpetrate. If the whole South repudiate* her debt it will he done Ay th/ nrgm vol/, ns it ha." l>een done in Virginia. And when that is done the Tribune and its owner* will pcrhnpft realize that "curses, like chickens, come home to roost" Tlic Republican papers of the New York TrJmne pattern are preaching homilies upon the strength of the re pudiation element in Virginians shown in the returns of the Legislative elec tion. It is put down as a token ola general dis|>o*itinn of the Southern Democracy towards dishonesty. Such talk proceeds either from ignorance of the real situation in Virginia or i* a willful perversion of the truth. The fact is notorious that in the late contest th Democrats, or Conservative*, a* they choose to call themselves, planted themselves boldyon a debt-paying plat form and refused to sanction the can didacy of any man who was not pledg ed to the debt paying policy a* embod ied in the McG'ulloch bill, while the Re adjusters were read out of the party ami fought by the regular Democratic organization with might and main. The leading white Republicans, educat ed men like Judge Rives and Hughes, to their credit be it said, took the same position on the great question at issue. Hut the colored Republicans were, as usual, deaf to argument, and were marched in droves to the [.oils hy kitch en and field hand politicians to do the work of a demagogue who used the re-adjustment programme as a means of ' organizing a new party in order that he might be elected to the United States Senate and his henchmen giv en [losses*ion of the minor State of fices in the gift of the Legislature. ]t is this class of voter*, so called He publican sand generally non tax payers, to whom Virginia i* indebted for the triumph of the repudiator*.

HKAVS OP A STATESMAN. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Time * report* for tlmt journal a lengthy interview with Senator Thomas l\ Haynrd, who has returned to his home at Wilmington, Deluware, from his recent visit to Kurope. Tho Sena tor in replying to interrogatories of the corrcspomlent said that the late election in New York turned on local issues, and he found no fault with the |ample of that State because they pre ferred to give attention to their own domestic affairs rather than to nation al politics. "1 am a great believer in local self-government,' said Mr. Hay- j ard, and continued : "1 think that is the only condition of the perpetuity of our I'nion. Ido not believe that this Union can be successfully governed 1111- j less the |>coplc of each State arc al lowed to control their domestic affairs, i That is the school of tho American i citiz.cn —local self-government. It is j by means of blunders that we learn. | If children -are fordidden to try to i walk they will never learn to walk. If you would teach your child to walk he would not lie forbidden to take the , first ste|>s inside his own nursery. j Therefore I think these people must lie left to control their own local af fairs in order to make them fit to take part in the grander and paramount government of the whole country and in the control of our finances and ortr country." On tho subject of the atti tude of the Democratic party on the financial question lie said that only in certain localities had the party pro uouueed in favor of an irredeemable (sipcr currency. That the idea of in flation as a remedy for the bankrupt cy which followed the decline of the price of land in the west, was adopted by many who were willing to accept uny theory which promised to restore the lost prosjierity. That the western people took off the limit upon the rate of intere.-t in order to buy land and that the interest on mortgages in the western States is 10 per cent, per an num while in nearly all of the eastern States it is only six. In his opinion money was not worth more than six per cent, any where and that a man who is compelled to borrow money at ten per cent, had loftier abandon hi enterprise. In reply to a question of his interlocutor on the subject of slave labor, Mr. Hayard said : "Slavery is in itself a reproach to laboring men. and that class of men fell it, and did not choose to engage in any hthor in the fields side by side with bondmen. 1 believe that feeling existed. There were comparatively few 'agricultural white laborer* in the South prior to the war. There were a great many mechanic*, and they had a social }>• sition much higher than the mechanic* of tin- North ever knew. Anybody who ha- ever la-en in the South must have uotice<l that when white mechan ics came to work at - the house of a planter they came to the table with him ami hi* family, ami were always addressed a* Mr., and never by the first name. Hut there were very few white men in the South comparatively who worked in the field with black 'hands.' Of course there were some, but 1 think there was a certain re proach to manual agricultural labor that slavery caused, and I think men felt it and it kept them away. I do not think there <-an !*• any doubt now, even if there was eVer any about the false economy of negro slavery. I think it was a false economy. I have never heard one at the South who was not glad slavery was at an end." In regard to the Uepuhlican idea of the necessity for troo|w at the |*>lls. Mr. Havard gave it as his opinion that free elections are the only safety for the republic; that the army is the creature and agent of the people and to employ troops in the exercise of a itolitical surveillance at the elections is to make the servants of the people sujs rior to their masters. The remedy for fraud or violence at congressional elections is a constitutional one and consists in the jKiwcr of each House of Congress to purge itself of members whose certificates are stniucd by fraud or force. With reference to the tnritr Mr. Havard enunciated these views: "I have no doubt at all that with the other economic questions to which the public will have to address their tniml* the question of protection is one. That seems pretty well settled. The capac ities of the country are unlimited for production, but the great question that arises now is as to distribution. The question of distribution is one of enor mous importance. The manufacturing capacity of the United States is twice as great ns our native market need*. We can supply the whole demand twice over; HIKI the ouestion is, what are you going to do with the surplus? It is evident you have to find markets for it. I do not see how our manu facturers can lie successful in foreign mnrkcts so long as they are handicap ped by high duties upon the articles that enter into their manufacture. If they are to meet in the mnrkets of South America or of Asia similar manufacturers, none of whom have paid taxes in tho shape of high duties, I cannot see how they can IK- success ful because all the ingenuity which our people have in the way of labor saving machinery will not enable them to compete with another man who buys free material. He is like a man running n race Htrims-d ami ready, and the other eiiciimnered with cloth ing. It is not a fair race, ami I think, therefore, it is clear to me that if we expect our people to go abroad with their products, wc must let them go, as nearly as we cnn, unembarrassed ly 1 taxes U|mjii the articles which they take there for Hale. That in the ques tion. Van nitiHt consider that tn ncll to a country means exchange, ami la exchange, you niUHt take their good* you iiiut take theirs, or else they can- . not take your g<s>ds. We, through ('ongrcMH, have introduced the system j at'taxation upon an enorniouH liadv at ! things. Two thousand tire humlred articles are on the tax list of our im porta. I have no doubt, however, ! that the free lint will he increased from time to time. 1 think thut tariff reform is very necessary, hut it ought to he gradual and not sudden ; it ought to he Imsed an a principle which j is a stable one, so our people shall not j he induced to enter into enterprises of manufacture with uncertainty. I he lie ve that we theu eau compete with any people mast successfully. I think there is a splendid future opening, hut I do not think that it is fair to our manufacturers to hear them dawn with taxes upon every material and yet expect them to compete with men in foreign markets that pay no such taxes. ' (>n the Chinese <pie-tiaii Mr. Bayard said he took it for granted that the feeling of the people of Cali fornia and an the I'acihe coast will he respected. The Senator went an to speak of the prospective pros|H'iity of tlie southern States and incidentally remarked that the opening of the mouth of the Mississippi to the navi gation of vessels of heavy draught through the instrumentality of the finds jetties would prove of incalculu hle benefit to the jieoplc of the West. Ah for the southern States, they need no legislation. The South simply need* sympathy and respect. "I would not treat this I nion," said the Senator, "as nn experiment. 1 would treat it us a fixed fact that the south ern States are in the I nion and ali gning to stay there; that they are going to he part of our |>eople and part of the government, and not only expect them to sn-tain ami help it, hut make that part of the country a source of strength to the whole. I Want the (ssiple of the South to feel that they are a n-spected and **-ential |ortioii of this I nion and that they cannot be anything else. Now, in order to do that we must make their position in the ( iiiin one of honor in the first place, mid then it' they tail away from that it must l>e their own disgrace; hut the honorable recognition must precede the other, and that they have not had yet at the hands of tin- Re publican party. The people of the northern States, whose representative want to make a solid North, if they are wise must sr that the South must Ik- ouc of two thing*—a source of weakness or a -ourcc of strength, hut their present course- and their pr-*ent feeling is calculated to make the South ii eervml Inland. .NAI'OI.KOVS MOT 11l lt. I'r ni tli- Mar]- r • M*grih< The family of Bonaparte* were of pure Italian race; there was not n drop of French I>l<*hl in any of them. Their ancestor* had come from the main land in the early history of Cor sica, and their name* arc found in the remote aiinals of Ajaceio. ('arlo Bonaparte was n j*s>r gentleman of excellent brtxxiing ami character, who mnriietl in his youth a young ami ro mantic girl named 1/ctiz.ia lUmolino, who followed him in his campaign* up to the moment of the birth of Na|*>lcon. It i* impossible to say how much the history of Europe owe* to the high In-art and indomitable spirit of this soldierly woman. She never relin mushed her authority in her family. When all her ehildrcii were |>riiiees ami potentate*, she was -till the severe, stern Madame Mere. The beauty ami grace of Juno phi tic Bcnuharuni* never conquered her; the sweet Tyrolese pretlinem of Maria Ixiuisa won from her only a sort of contemptuous in dulgence. When her mighty son ruled the continent, she was the only human being whose eludings he re garded or endured. She was faithful in her rebuke* while the sun shone, and when calamity came, her un daunted spirit was still true and de voted to the fallen. Her provincial habit of economy stood her in good stead in her vigorous old age; she was rich when the Empire had pa-* <1 away, and her grand-children needed her aid. It must have been from her that Niifioleou took his extraordinary character, for Carlo Bonaparte, though a brave soldier and an ardent patriot in his youth, was of an easy and genial temper, inclined to tnke the world n* he found it, and not to insist too much on having it go in his csjicciii! way. A touching story of the endurance of humnn love is thnt of a mother in a West Virginia village, whose son went out one evening thirty years ngo, ask ing her to have supper ready for him when he should come hack. Whether be was murdered or rail nwav to sea, nobodv knows. He has never return ed. Hi* mother, now feeble and white-haired, makes ready for him every night, place* his chair by tin table ami waits. "He will romo some day," she says, "and then he will see that 1 never have forgotten him." One cannot hut hojie that the loving patience of the ixsir waiting heart may yet be rewarded. Don't pay any attention to a sign of "sbut this door." it is the trick of a lazy man to get others to his work | for him.—Detroit Free Pre**. Till: I HON I'EN.

At this particular writing we can- I'lftt reenll the name of any one m..rv deserving of the admiration of the human family than the Honorable 1 Jonah. Adam mav be reverenced, hut Jonah is entitled to gushing love. The former cavorted in a garden, ami had nothing to do hut fatten on the luxuries set In-fore him, dance, swing hi* partner down the walks, and waltz her over the flower beds, of the lovely Eden. But, by inexcusable weakness —if we nuty he allowed to reflect upon one whose reputation is world wide, and to whom mankind are un der n numlK*r of obligations—he sur rendered pleasure* that would have been eternal, and left a* n heritage to his descendants, trials, pains, tribula tions and temptation*. The fact that disgusting snake* have to walk 011 their In-llie* is but a prsr recompense for the afflictions caused by the want of sninc in the weak old man. The truth i* he deserve* no credit for the belly troweling of ser|K*pt*. Had they remained upright and lieen required to walk upon the extremity of their narratives, their approach could be seen in time to enable the seed of womnu to gather sufficient ground seed to bruise the head* of the accursed. But the immortal Jonah was not guilty of ntty such indiscretion, llis greatest crime was a little tilasphem mg when this l>oat on which he had taken passage refused to obey it- rud der. He did not know, at the time— ami was too angry to cure- that a storm arose to punish liiiu for his per versity in settling out for 'J'arshish when he was ordered to report in Niucvah. With a few strokes of his trident Mr. Neptune so troubled the sea that the pilot left the wheel-house and officers and crew called their passenger before them. When asked his name, occupation and destination, he replied that his name wa* Jonah, that lie wiis engaged in the gourd business on a plain over unto the val ley of Jehosuphut, and that he wished to spend a few days with a friend residing at Tarshisii. His statement being made, the thunder and light ning increased in intensity, and the billows threatened to swallow the ves sel. Jonah quietly took in the situa tion, and to save his fellow voyagers he made a heroic hap into the Iwiist crous waters of the Mediterranean. His historian says that a friendly whale gave him a couch adjoining one of his private parlors, with the offer of a |M-rmanent home. Who else ever had the courage to explore the inner chambers of a leviathan? If so, who? After spending three days and so many nights in examining the architecture of the floating palace, that restlessness which characterizes humanity made him anxious for a 1 change of scene. By vigorous appli cations of' his stogie h<s)ts ujsiti the panels, his door flew open and he came out "like a little man." There was a grandeur in hi- going and com- ' ing that made him the gn-atest hero ! known in history since the stars gave their first matutinal concert. The I leaders of the Jchusitcs performed many net* requiring courage. The athlete- of the Hitites were -ujs-rior to the most powerful bruisers of the modern Prize lling-.

Dear old Jonah ! An Ideal School for (Oris. I rw <!• I/.h4* a Trulh,Dtlilff 23 I have long had as an idea the creation of a girls' school which shall Im* organized on exactly the same plan as public schools for hoy*—Eton, for instance. The girls should reside by twenties in tlx* house* of married mas ters, whose wive* would act as 'dame*;' ami there should in each house be a resident governess to discharge the function* of monitors. The girls should each have fheir own private room, where they might take breakfa*t and tea singly or in messes of two and three, a* they might prefer, and thev >hould dine and sup st their tutor'* and dame's table*. The classes should Ik* held in the school-rooms of the col lege under the direction of male or female professor* ; and the girls should attend services all together in their chn|M*J. A* for recreation, such a col lege a* I propose would become a little township, having it* walks and park where the pupil* would have liberty to roam and play a* they pleased un der certain restrictions a* to hour* of liH*k-up. If in a college of thi* kind music and drawing were trente*! a* extra* and the general fxlucaton were , confined to the three. H's, modern lan guag*s, history, geography and sewing, I am convinced the school would turn out very creditable pupils indeed, and, what is equally to the purpose, would render the school life of the girls hap py, which it seldom is at present. I hope to sec this idea carrier! out some •lay by a group of paterfaiuilis-cs hav ing money to embark in an enterprise which would ultimately pay well it more senses than one.

In one CUM; in North Carolina it wit- held that it i* not within the privilege of counsel in ar gument to a jury to u*e language cal culated to hupiilitate and degrade the opposite party ill the eye* of the jury and byntaudcrs, particularly when he ha* not been irnjx-achexl; and where, on the trial, a witness for plaiutifl' had been impeached hy the testimony of defendant, ami plaintiff"* counsel raid in addressing the jury "that no man who lived in defendant's neighborhood eould have anything but a had char acter ; that defendant polluted every thing near him or that he touched ; that he wa* like the upas tree, shed ding pestilence and corruption all around hi in that the defendant wax entitled to a new trial, without show ing that his cause was prejudiced bv the use of that language. The same doctrine was held in a case in Wiscon sin, where no evidence having Ix-en given of the defendant's ability to pay exemplary damages, the plaintiff" a counsel ap|>ear* to have undertaken to supply this want of evidence by commenting to the jury ujwm the uj>- pcllaulV connection with the railroad company ami the wealth and power of the compauv as a great corporation, and defendant .- ability, from bis con ; ucction with if, to pay any judgment which might lie rendered against him. ■ The t'ourt held that it is error suffi cient to reverH-a judgment, for conn -cl, again-t objection, to state facts I rtincnl to tin issue and not in evi dence, or to a-siime while arguing) -ueh facts to bi in the case when tie v arc not. The Court say in the Wis : coiisin case : "The profes-iou of the ; law i- iiis-titut*-*l for the administration ■of justice. The duties of the bench i and bar differ in kind, not in purpose. I he duty of lioth alike is to establish (le- truth and to apply the law to it. It is e*M-ntial to the proper adminis tration of justice, frail and uncertain at the lust, that all that can Is said for each party, in the determination of fact and law, should Is- h<*rd. For < n-ic strife i- but a method, and a mighty one, t* ascertain the truth ami the law governing the truth. It is the duty of coun-el to make the mist of the ca-e which his client is able to give him ; but counsel is out of bis duty and his right, ami outside of the principle and object of his profession, when he travels out of hit client's case and assumes to supply its deficiencies. Therefore is it that the nice sense of the profession regards with such dis trust ami aversion the testimony of a lawyer in favor of his client. It is tho duty and right of counsel to indulge? in all lair arguments in favor of the ■ right of his client ; but ho is outside i of his duty and his right when he ap -1 |>eals to prejudice irrelevant to tho ' case. Properly, prejudice has no more I sanction at the liar tlian on the bench. Hut ati advocate may make himself the aiirr rgo of his client, and indulge in prejudice in his favor.
