The Sad Fall of a Public Han.
A St. Louis newspaper correspondent
narrates the following lamentable story:
Coming down Chestnut-street, St. Louis,
one day a few weeks since, I was struck
by the appearance of an old man past six
ty, who wore a thread-bare coat, shiny
with constant wear, and whose hat
was bruised and seedy. His head was
bent towards the earth, and his walk was
a tottering shufHe, the effect of whisky
and old age. He reeled from one side of
the pavement to the other, and at last
brought up against a lamppost on a cor
ner, when a young-looking loafer coming
along saluted him with, " Halloa, Jim!
Come and take a drink?" The old man's
eyes brightened, and, arm-in-arm, he
sauntered along to the nearest groggery
with his companion. Five years ago that
old man was James Green, United States
Senator from Missouri, and in days of the
Kansas and Lccompton matters, he was
next to Stephen A. Douglas, the ablest
debater in Congress. But the war broke
out, Mr. Green was sent to the rebel Con
gress, soon lost his property, his position
and his character, and now he is a pocr
drunkard, aud earns barely a pittance of
a living as a calaboose shyster.
Sydney Smith's Common Sense.
Never give way to melancholy; resist
it steadily, for the habit will encroach.
I once gave a lady two-and-twenty receipts
against melancholy. One was a bright
fire; another to remember all the pleas
ant things said to aud of her; another to
keep a box of sugar plums on the chim
ney piece, and a kettle simmering on the
hob.
Never teach false morality. How ex
quisitely absurb to tell girls that beauty
is no valuj dress of no use! Beauty is
of value; her whole prospects and happi
ness in life may often depend on a new
gown or a becoming bonnet, and if she
has five grains of common sense, ehe ivill
find it out. The great thing is to teach
her their just value, and that there must
be something better under the bonnet
than a pretty face for real happiness.
But never sacrifice truth.
I am convinced digestion is the great
secret of life; and that character, talents,
virtues and qualities are powerfully affec
ted by beef, mutten, piecrust and rich
soups. I have often thought I could feed
or starve men into many virtues and vi
ces, and affect them more powerfully with
the instumcnts of cookery than Timothcus
could do formerly with his lyre.
A Good Character.
A good character is to a young man
what a firm foundation is to the architect
wlin nrnnnnc tn erect a building on it:
he can build with safety and inspire alljtllC Police and the members of the fire d
who behold it with confidence in its B0-, Pertinent to appear on the ground at

will tumble down at last and mingle all
that was built on it in ruin. Without a
good character poverty is a curse; with it,
scarcely an evil. Happiness cannot exist
where good character is not. All that is

and blissful in the sober senses of life, all
that is soothing in tho vale of years cen

A Sporting Reporter Slightly Tight
The Buffalo Commercial, having sent a
special to report the great racing tourna
ment between Dexter and Butler, sums
up the result as decidedly a loosing busi
ness. We have only room for the
THIRD ROUND.
At the call of the judges Dexter went
nrst to the bat after three false starts,
with Butstcr acting as center field at the
quarter pole, when the ropes were cut,
and an alarm of police was raised, with
Dexter three lengths against the cushion,
and gradually passing the score to Buts
ter. Notwithstanding the tremendous
pace at which they were going, Butster
was a good second, behaved wonderfully
well, and showed as a pheasant, though
the balls broke badly for him, and he was
s loo rounJ lhe half mile stretch.
Butster took his gruel kindly, and deliv
ered his mawley straight on the dial, Dex
terontinuing gradually to close up, with
the evident intention of shutting him out.
Butster was not to be led, and again broke
away, with Dexter at his heel, which
drew the claret profusely. It was now
anybody's race, and large investments
were made on the favorite at any odds.
But Dexter haying read a paper " On the
Antediluvian races, with some specula
tions as to whether they were the best
three in five, together with their effect
upon the decimal and Metric System of
the Suuercan Period, had it all bis own
way, and ran the game out with ease,

The New York Herald, which always
tries to swim with the tide, sees the fin
ger of fate in the Vermont and Maine
elections. It now affirms that as "revolu
tions never go backward," the Congres
sional policy is certain to triumph in all
the State elections to be held this fall.
It says: "From the elections which have
occurred since the Constitutional Amend
ment was adopted by Congress for the
reconstruction of the Southern States, we
are satisfied that the Amendment is to
become the basis of Southern restoration
that it will carry and be carried by all
the Northern State elections yet to come,
and that it will be ratified by them all
and become part and parcel of the su
preme law of the land.'' The Herald has
heretofore been a violent and unspariug
champion of the President, going to an
extreme in opposition to Congress and its
measures. That it has changed its base
is proof sufficient that it felt itself on the
losing side. The popular thunder that
has just reverberated from the hills of the
Pine Tree State wa3 more convincing to
its judgment'than the maudlin tirades of
Johnson or the smooth sophistries of Se
ward. Even the jackals of politics are
deserting the man whom vanity, obstina
cy and infatuation have made their prey.
Two old and distinguished citizens of
Philadelphia died last week Matthias W.
Baldwin and Josiah Randall. Mr Baldwin
was the senior partner of the great engine
building firm of M. W. Baldwin & Co.,
and was widely known and honored for
his enterprise and liberality. Through
out the war he was ardent and faithful
friend of the Union giving his time and
money without stint for the sake of the
good cause. Mr. Randall was in his
younger days a prominent Whig lawyer
and politician, but in 1S5G he became ad
herent of James Buchanan, and ever af
terward maintained a position in the Dem
ocratice party. It will bo remembered
to his credit, however, that a few months
ago he resigned his membership in the
Democratic Club on account of the drink
ing of the health of Jeff. Davis at a nieet
iug of that body.

Pensions.
The Commissioner of Pensions has ad
dressed to all the Pension Agents a circu
lar directing their attention to the sec
tions of the Pension Act approved June,
G, 1SGG, which provides that no claim a
gent or other persons shall receive more
than 25 cents for preparing the papers
necessary to enable a pensioner to receive
a semi-annual payment of his pension ;
and that no pension agent shall receive
morcthan 15 cts. for aduiiuisteringan oath
to a pensioner or his attorney, iu fact, un
der a penalty of 85. Pension agents are
instructed that under the provisions of
this section they will not be required to
render gratuitous services in the prepara
tion of vouchers, but whenever called up
on to furnish such assistance they are in
no case to receive or permit any person
in their employ to receive more than 25
cents for preparing the vouchers and trans
mitting the payment, or for any other ser
vices relative thereto, except the prescrib
ed fee of 15 cents for administering the
necessary oath.
In an article on " Bathing at Etretat,"
a London magazine says: " It is report
ed that one young gentleman, who swam
indifferently, followed out into the sea a
young lady, who swam excellently; that,
panting with emotion and exertion, he as
sured her in the briefest possible manner
of his attachment, and almost choked him
self in the attempt to seize aud kiss her
hand; that floating upon bis back, he
explained quietly his position and circum
stances, and breathed words of tenderness,
while the fair one again and again plung
ed uuder water to conceal her blushes;
and that, finally, when they swam to
shore, the daring youth had been accept
ed, at the cost of being almost paralyzed
with cold."
Change in the Manner of Voting',
At the last session of the Legislature
an act was passed changing the manner
of voting in the several counties of this
Commonwealth. Hereafter tho voting
will be done in the following manner :
"One ticket shall embrace the name3 of
all judges of the courts voted for, and to
be labeled 'judiciary ;' one ticket shall
embrace the names of all State officers vo
ted for, including office of Senator, Mem
bers of Assembly, if voted for, and Mem
bers of Congress, if voted for, and be la
beled 'county' ; one ticket shall embrace
the name of all township officers voted
for, and be labeled 'township' ; one tick
et shall embrace the names of all borough

Soldiers, Lock out for the Assessments.
There are a large number of returned
soldiers, who during the four years of war,
lost their assessments at their usual places
of residence. Some of them secured the
right to vote under the article of the Con
stitution allowing soldiers to vote ; but
many of them no doubt neglected to be
properly qualified last Fall. To all such,
wo would suggest that it is their duty to
watch the assessment lists which arc re
quired to be posted at various places in
their townships in a short time. If they
should not find their names there, they
should be particular to attend the extra
assessments and secure their rights Once
assessed, and having paid their taxes,
they will be ready to vote in October, as
it is their privilege and duty to do a3 faith
ful citizens.

ing to surrender the fruits of the victory
they so gallantly won over treason, was
as unjust as it was humiliating.
