hope that the Members of 0 ingress of ull
political parties wi'l refrain, during the

projects for dodiMiijr the plain provisions ot
duty and law in this m.r.fcr. We do not

upon certain Republican members or c :

sorely trmpteii to revive the financial jug-
p lories with which they havo heretofore
darjaged us. l'ray, getillemtn, relrain
Wo can get along much bettor with your
silence than with your eloquence. The
country's financial condition is now much
better than it has been at any time during
the last eight years ; its credit is improv
ing ; the Treasury is constantly growing
ptrougcr, and the people arc pleased with
iho brightening prospect. If we can but
po on in tho present way, wc shall be able,
in good season, to place our debt at a lower
rate of interest, and to reduce taxation,
while at the same time the piiuciplo of the
debt will alo coutinuc to disappear. With
i he Republican majority in both Houses of
I 'otigrcss, there ought to be no difi'o uliy in"
sustaining the linaueial policy ul tuu Ad.
ministration which is iu the main excel
lent and admirable. Could wo but hope to
see the Democrats alsc act sensibly on fin
naneial questions ! They tire interested
just as much as tho Republicans in the fi
naneial strength of the country and in its
improving credit, and they have learned by
experience that there is no scheme of repu
diation which will assist them in gaining
political power1 Let them, therefore, re-
train from the advocacy of schemes which
will but inj'irc us at home and abroad ;
and let us all unite our ell irts for bringing
ubout specie payments, which will introduce
rrder into business affairs and commercial
exchange. 'i rilitnn?.

(I k.n eha f. Ci:si'KUi.s, President of ihe
Cuban Republic, lia.-r i.ssued a decree urging
the Cuban devoted to tho cause of inde
pendenoo to the dosti uo'.iuu ol every sugar
eauo field on the island, and that " the
lipening tobacco crop bo also destroyed us
tar as may be, whether in the field or gaih
crcd tor curing.-' T.'.C oljcc-l 2s to reduce
as far us possible tho revenues ol 8-7,t'0U,
(100 which Spain derives from Cuban su
gar, tobacco and oMier products, n:id from
which she obtains her .vnews of war. The
emancipated blacks, who know every plan
I a lion, road and by path on the islaud, arc
to be chiefly employed in this war of fire
" The more effectually," says Cespedcs.
" this work of destruction is accomplished
the more swiftly will our holy eaute be
advanced and the goal ol freedom reached."
This has a start ling sound ; but such is
war. It is precisely the course pursued
by Sheridan under ;he orders of ( rant, iu
the Shenandoah Valley, and. by Sherman
ou leaving Atlanta for his march to the
sea. Ccsptdes also aims to strike the en
emy in his most vulnerable point, and we
may expect, therefore, that there will be
such terrible illuminations over Cuba mean
time that, with the meeting of Congress, the
attention of the two Houses will be drawn
by General Crant to the expediency of
some decisive measures of intervention iu
behalf of peace.
The progress of Minuesota in the pro"
ductiou of wheat id among the agricultural
marvels of the ago. It is estimated that
the surplus wheat of that State tho present
year will be fully 15,000,000 bushels, while
but o littlo of tho great graiu plateau em
braced within its limiw has yet been
brought under cultivation. Ono farmer,
the past year, harvested 1000 acres, with
au average yield of forty bushels to tlio
acre. This section, while much of it is too
tar north for growing com, will evidently
become the Odessa of Ameiica in the pro
duction of wheat.
An able engineer estimates the loss in
horses, extra ware of vehicles, and extra

unburied when tho telegraph announces
that Hon. It. J. Walker died at Washing,

lite inJIVmif jlvania, aud many of his servi
ces are noteworthy. He was born iu
Northumberland county in 1801, graduated
at the University of Pennsylvania in 1810,
commenced the practice of law iu Pittsburg
in 1821, and became prominent thereby
putting the name of Ucuerl Jackson in
uomiuation for tho Presidency before it had
been su-tcste-l iu any quarter. Five years;
later he removed to Natchez, Miss., becom
ing a candidate for United States Senator
uflS;i.'i and defeating Hon. George Poin

distinguished himself in a spirited debate
with Mr. Clay. Pres't Jackson consulted
him in reference to the acquisition of Texas
aud California. Iu the the Van Huron ad
miuistration he supported the divorce of
the government and the banks. lie exer
ted great influence ever President Tyler
and he veto of the bank bill and the high
handed measures which ended in the an.
nexati.m of Tex?s were mainly due to Mr.
Wulkcrs's council. He was a friend of
Van Duren, but deserted him to suppoit
Polk, because of tho unfriendliness of the
former toward the Texas scheme. Mr.
Polk rewarded him with the appointment
of Secretary of Treasury. At the close of
Mr. Polk's term, he resumed the practice

Buchanan appointed him Governor of Kan
sas at a period of great difficulty, but he
resigned because of disagreements with the
President, and has since had little promi
nence in public affairs. During the rebel
lion,, he was a firm friend of the Union
cause. As a political economist ho was an
ardent abvocatc ot Free Trade, and his
letters on tho subject were republished by
tho British House of Commons. He was
also a skilled financier and furnished valua
ble suggestions ou national finances during
tho war with Mexico. He has certainly
exerted great influence on the policy of our
earlier government, and will probably be
remembered best for' his political con
nections with Presidential incumbent and
administrations.

HEROISM OF A CHILD.
Reverend Edwin Cldy, M. D,, writes
from Puwwash, Canadt( as follows:
On Priday night last Mr. Cortielius
Crowley retired with his family to rest, a
little after dark. About ten o'clock they
wete aroused by tho sound of fire some
where in tho house. On springing from
his bed he found the w hole body of tho
houso in flames. His first thought was to
get help, so ho ran at onco to the barn
where two of his sons were sleeping. Ou
his return ho found it impossible to get up
".' s, whcr9 five of his family were sleop
'. cr to his father's room, where the old
man aud a littlo son were sleeping together,
lint Mrs. Crowley, with her babe in her
arms, suoceedod iu arousing some of those
up stairs. Her brother and sister threw
themselves out of tho window, forgetting
the three children that were still asleep in
another bed. The mother's screams awa
kened the elder daughter, and she came to
the window and asked what she should do,
when her mother urged her to throw her
self down from tho window, but she replied,
"No ; my brother and sister must be saved.'
She then returned through tho heat and
smoke and took her brother, a little young.
er than herself (nine years), in her arms,
and carried him to the window, from which
he sprang with no injury except a slight
scorching ef his face and hair. She then
returned through tho floor and brought a
i still younger sister (soveu years), to the
window, aud here the dear child had more
than she could do, for her sister in her
fright refused to bo thrown off, and n ith
the flames coming up around her, she smug
gled with her until sho put her out of the
window oud the child dropped helplessly to
the ground. After hanging a moment or
two upon the windowsill, sho dropped down
herself, a distance of Lcarly sixteen feet.
When she arose from the ground she said,
"I am done, mother; but I havo saved
brother and sister from being burnt up."
The mother, with her burnt children then
walked a distauco of six hundred and seven,
ty yards I had it measured to the first
neighbor's house, in a state uudity, for they
had not saved any clothing. I was soon
sent for, and, in about thiee hours after the
fire, was attending to tho wants of tho suf
fering children. I saw there was no hope
of saving the dear girl ; from her forehead
to the bottom of her feet she was ono mass
of burnt flesh. This, with the fearful shock
received from jumping so far, and walking
such a distance iu the cold tho night be
ing very chilly caused her to sink very
rapidly, anu at six in the morningshc d'ed,
aged eleven years and eight months, a mar
tyr to tho love of her brother and sister. I
never before saw so much courage aud
firmness in one so young; and while dress,
ing her bruised and burnt limbs she utter
ed no complaint. Her sister died in the
evening; and her uncle suffered from
ho eflocts of jumping out ol the window.
The rest will all reeovei. It was a sight to
see the parents, broken hearted, weeping
over their sull'erin
loved ones.
The death penalty is uot hanging, as
it ouco was, but is a performance on the
trapeze. Prom tho uuinber of serious ac
cidents which have recently occurred
through this performance, tho wonder is
that the public will allow it to bo contiuued.
The '-exercise" no longer consists ol merely
swinging by the head or heels, but is not
now sensational unless it is carried into
leaps and summersaults in tho air, which
are at best nothing but foolhardy aud reck
less exhibitions. Aud more and worse
than all, the public, by being led to it by
managers, insist upon having women per
form these reckless feats. It should be
made criminal for either man or woman to
engage iu them, and it will show a greatly
demoralized state of public tasto if they are
not soon stopped.
Kctchum is again at liberty. Who
but one who has undergone imprisonment
for thrjje years and ten months can tell
what may be Buffered by confinement under
chargo of defalcation, while acknowledg
ing to the world his guilt, whether greater
or less, aud peggiug 'away at shoes in a
peniteutiary with a hope that the future
may have something bright iu store for h:iu.
Ketchum's case is a peculiar one not uun.
sual as to defalcation, but the temper of the
mau, the influential character of his friends,
and his long silence and submision alter
receiving his teutence, are peculiarities but
fjldoiu- combined in such case. We
trust his future may bear fruit of honest
prosperity.
A flairs in Mexico look as though that
volcuuic country was again ubont ready to
boil over. The political aspects ot the
country are anything but favorable tor the
peace ot its mhabitauts. Discord aud bit
terness prevail among the ministers. The
most talented aul most unscrupulous of the
ministers want to be Presidoni, aud this
Gerdo is a favorite with the Press and the
Church, a conservative who. under a mod
est pretense, expects to find himself the ru
ler ot the country ere long. Of course rev
olution will grow out of it.
It is gratifying to all who tbink well of
Church Union to be informed that the un..

George Fkamopy. The remains of
George Peaborly, after imposing funeral
eciemonies under the direction of Queen
Victoria, wcro brought to this country in
the British steamer Monarch. The U. fi.
Steamer Richmond ot the Mcditctranean
squadron was ordered to accompany the
Monarch.
The days of miracles and superstition has
not entirely disappeared. One of the latest
wonders ccnteri about the bones of Father
Masse, who was hurried in the old Quebec
church, and which were found a few weeks
ago. The excitement about them was so
great that the earth was curried away by
haudfuls, and now they say a miracle has
been wrought ty tho relics. A woman
who hud not walked for a year was cured
by the earth. The furore is intense.
J. C. Buell, Cashier of the Second Na
tional Bank of Cleveland, committed sui
cide by shooting himself through the heart.
Tho cause is supposed to be mental depres
sion, resulting from losses during the late
panic. A rumor having prevailed that Mr.
liuell was a defaulter, and that the bank
would loose heavily, tho Directors publish
a card that its responsibility is unimpair
ed. It is said that a short time ago a close,
fisted farmer iu Phillips, Me., died alter
devising ono dollar to Ins only son. Tho
old geutlcuiau was duly hurried in th veu-
eiable chinch yard, which sutl'ered a terri
ble washing away by tho flood, aud a sho.t
time ago Ins body was iouud, opposite the
sou's place, having beeu brought down the
river agreat distance. When the tender
lieai tod sou was informed of tho fact, he
made the touching remark, "Prob ibly come
back alter that dollar."
Prize-fighting is played out in the old
Pay Slate. Ned O'Baldwiu was scutciieed
to serve eighteen months in the House ot
Correction iu liostoti the other day, for hii
excessive display of energy in his manner
ol greeting his professional brother, Jo
Wormald, in the state, last October. O'liuld.
win was triid last February, his counsel
filed exceptions in the case, and he was led
to believe that the '"matter would be all
light." The sentence unmauued him
that is, so fsr as a prolessioual prize-tighter
can be unmanned. This bringing up of
tho Irish Giant with a rouud turn will have
a good elieet.
A young man and his intended presented
them.-elves before the City Clerk ol Daven
port, luwu, the other day lor a mariiagu
license. It was lound that the iutended
bridegroom was under age aud had neither
pai.iiits nor guardian lu order to make
the proceedings regular, the lady suggested
that she herself should bo appointed guar-
ditiii. A kIiu wut uvor eighteen uho Wuk
eligible, was duly appointed guardian, aud
then gave councut that her ;.ld should
marry herself.
It is hinted thai the government is in
pose.-s.-ou ol facts connected with the New
York Custom House frauds that will startle
the public one ot these days. Preparations
arc being madu for a full and (earless iuves.

may be iuvolvsd.
Boston has another sensation whi.-h
eclipses the Jubilee. It is averred thai
about four o'clock the other morning a lady
in that city saw iu the sky the "blazing
form of a man resplendent as thopiui in its
meridian glory, with forms of infantile
beauty hovering around him." The words.
"Come, now is the accepted time, come
now," iu larje green letter, were distinct
ly perceived suriouudiug the visiou, which
is said to have beon seen and vouched for
by respectable parties beside the lady.
One of the few really successful enter
prises of the day is GEO. PLUMMER &
CO S One Dollar Sale. Their system offers
a greater opportunity for tho purchaso of
the thousand and one useful articles, at a
price that comes withiu the reach of all
classes, than any other.
It is a well understood fact that certain
classes of goods pay the dealer a very large
percentage ol profit. I his appears almost
necessary, especially in Fancy Goods, Jew
elry, Silver-plated Ware, Ac, of which a
dealer does not sell sufficient of any one
article to make it an object of trade, and is
obliged to purchase in small quantites; and
when the goods are sold by three or four
different classes oi merchants, and each
charge a very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost of manufacture
before reaching the hands of the people.
It is in such goods Geo. A. Plunnuor &
Co., 40 Hanover Street, Boston deal most
extensively. Their sales are so immense they
make each article a specialty, often buying
all a manufacturer can produce. Their sys
tern gives universal satisfactron. Read their
advertisement.
