Washington, Not. 2G, 18TQ.
The Bociety of tbe Armj of the
Cumberland held interesting eerrices
in the big tent, on Wednesday n'ght,
after tho onTeiling ceremonies. Tne
white lot in the rear of tbe Executive
Maaaioo waa black with people.
There was a lig jam to get in and a
big jam after entrance was affected. ,
General Jeff C. Davis presided. Tbe
speaker's Etand was in the southern
end of the tent. Tbe crowd was so
great that many people went away,
not being able to bear what was go
iag on. Speech making was in order.
The exercises were interspersed with
music by iLe Military Academy
Daad. The audience was very de
monstrative. The President, bis Cabinet, Mrs.
Hayes, officers of the Army, and dis
tinguished guest were on the stand.
Judge Mat Arthur, cf tbe District
bencn.delivered tbe welcome address,
"in tbe name of tbe District be bade
the Army of tbe Cumberland wel
come, welcome, thrice welcome."
Ilis speech was eloquent
General McCook delivered tbe or
ation, which was received with loud,
longand continued applause. Miss
Story next recited "The Rock ot
Cbickatnoga," a poem, by Edward
Kenand. The three cheers ior Thom
as, with which the recitation closed,
were given most heartily
General Sherman was called out
and made a speech, as also did Gen
eral ISuell, McDowell, and Garfield.
Calls for "Hayes, Hayes," rose as
sjon as General Garfield retired.
Then, after the President, calls for
General Van Vleit, Secretary of War
McCreary, Attorney General Devins,
aad General Slocutn were made, each
ot whom delivered thort off hand re
marks, all eulogistic of tbe life and he
roic services of General Thomas. At
the close the band struck up "March
ing Through Georgia " Tbe large
audience sang it nd sang it again
bef re leaving the tent.
Going from tbe tent down town tbe
city seemed ablcze with light The
Treaourr building was illoaiiaa'ed
bv calcium lights all round, biiugiug
out in strong lights and lark shad
ows its beauiilul and classic outlines.
Tbe new War, Navy and State De
partment builling was also lit up,
that imnosinir Dile making a most
beautiful spectacle. Pennsylvania
avenue a mile long was lit op by an
flectric light from tie dome of the
Capitol. The neighborhood of tbe
Thomas monument was brilliantly
illuminated, and thousands of people
were out viewing tbe structure until
near midnight.
There is but one opinion in regard
to the statue, and that is that it is
perfectly elegant.
When tbe average citizen arose
shortly after sunrise on the second
morning of the reunion, the first ex
clamation was, "Whatalovely day 1"
but this was soon succeeded by other
than expressions complimentary to
the Weather Department, as a brisk
snow sterm ensued. This, fortunate
ly, continued only for a short season,
vet a strong northwesterly wiud fail
ed to down at tbe bidding, and those
abroad while tempted to demur, ex
perienced a feeling of relief at the
manifest absence of aqueous or icy
particles in the atmosphere. The
streets, at an early boor, were throng
ed by members of various societies,
organizations, etc., and, altogether,
the second ceremonial day, while lee
propitious than Wednesday, was none
tbe less enjoyed.
At ten o'clock tbe society met at
Williard's Hall, the tent in the white
lot having been blown down by the
high wind. At the meeting General
Sherman read a letter, signed by tbe
widow and daughter of General Rob
ert Anderson, of Fort Sumter fame,
in which they indignantly repelled
tbe insinuation that this brave officer
ever faltered in his devotion to tbe
Union.
At tbeconclusion of tbe reading,
General Sherman offered a resolution,
which was adopted by a unanimous
rising vote, tendering the sympathy
of the society to General Anderson's
widow and daughter. Tbe following
despatch was then sent her:
Mes. Robert Anderson,
New York :
"The society of the Army of the
Cumberland extend to yon its most
affectionate greetings. It baa just
beard from Generals Sherman and
Jeff C. Davis, of the cruel slander,
which baa fonnd some currency, in
sinuating that Major Robert Ander
son one swerved in his loyalty.
Such a rumor needed no contradic
tion in the Army of the Cumber
land."
Jeff C. Davis said that he com
manded Major Robert Anderson's
rear guard when be evacuated Fort
Moultrie to take Fcrt Sumter, and
that anyone who bad been with bim
that night would never questioned
"Bob's" loyalty. He believed that
secession was a beresy. Columbia
made no mistake when Bob Anderson
let slip the dogs of war. Thomas and
Anderson both spelled Nation with a
bifr N. I Great applause.!
General Phil Sheridan was elected
President for the enening year, and
Toledo, Ohio, designated as the place
of next meeting.
At noon the members proceeded to
the boat which carried them to Mount
Vernon, and the proceedings of tbe
meeting were continued on tbe boat
General Barnum. of New York, call
ed tbe attention of tbe society to tbe
recent death of General Joe. Hooker,
and, after a brief eulc gy, offered a
resolution expressive ot tbe leeNrjgr
of those present over his demise,
which was adopted. A committee
was appointed to co-cpeaate with a
like committee of the Army of tbe
Potomac, in raising a statue in honor
of fighting Joe.
A debate followed as to tbe advisa
bility of proceeding on the trip tc
JHouni croon, as tne wind was
blowing Hig guas and some of the
ladies felt badly before tbe boat got
into the middle of the stream. It
was thonght that there would be con
siderable sea sickness, but a remark
til tbe effect that many would be
"half seas over" anyway before tbev
got back, causes' oproarons laughter.
and put night to this consideration
General Follerton, tbe Treasurer,
said be would like to make bis tcpon
before they got oat in tbe stream, for
"when tbe breezes blow, I generally
go below." He was immediately set
upon and summarily ejected, but was
allowed to reta.rn opou a solemn
promise not to refer to Pinafore
.rain.
General Garfield said that it was
bnt just and proper that the society
should in some formal way extend
its deepest thanks to tbe three mili
tary organizations of Virgiaia tbe
Richmond Light Infantry Blues,
Alexandria Light Infantry, and Nor
folk City Guards who bad partici
pated is tbe procession and assisted
at the nnveiliog ceremonies, and who
"forgetting past differences by their
presence paid respect t our hero and.
their fellow citizen " The Secretary j
was directed to officially inform these .
Companies ot toe action 01 ine society
and the adoption of tbe resolution of
thauka which followed.
At Mount Vernon tbe partj landed
and formed in ranks of two?, and
with tbe Columbus Barracks band in
front, marched to tones of beautiful
by mns through the grounds, the home
and last resting place of tbe Father
cf oar Country. As the procession
reached tbe tomb all beads were on
covered in respect to bis memory.
When tbe procession reached the
mansion ranks broke and every one
proceeded to the mansion. The
things of interest to be seen here are
of unusual character and will form a
letter at some future period. About
two and a half o'clock the whistle
was blown, and soon tbe grounds
were cleared and all aboard. An ele
gant lunch was then indulged in by
all General Garfield opened tbe
proceedings with a short speech, af
ter which General Barnum gave Bev
eral recitations, and various songs
were euug.
A gentleman who bad been an in
terested spectator of the proceedings
at this point stood np and stated that
as a soldier who bad fought against
General Hooker, and who carried a
Federal bullet in his bosom, be wish
ed to raise his voice in honor of the
memory ot that great General
(cheers). He had fought for what
he thought was right, but the arbi
trament of war had decided against
him. It would be a long tme hence,
however, when be would not be will
ing to extend the hand of fraternal
friendship to those who had fonebt
against him. He now wished to join
the Array of the Cumberland in do
ing honor to one of the bravest, purest
and best Generals who ever lived
General George II. Thomas. (Loud
cheers and cries of "Good for you !")
He stated in response to a question
that his name was S. E. Watkins.
aud that he was clerk of tbe Court of
Howard county, Maryland General
GarCeld Baid that Mr Watkin's voice
was only the first i! hat great or
chestra of voices that would rise from
tbe States all over tbe Union in hon
or of General Thomas. The Army
of the Cumberland gave its hand to
Mr. Watkios and wished there were
a million Watkinses. Such hands as
bis the Army of the Cumberland
would always grasp in fraternal wel
come and love. Watkins carried a
bullet of the Armr of the Cumber
land. He now carries its heart. Tbe
Army of the Cumberland sent its bul
let to wound ; it sent its heart to
beal. He. GarGeld, was glad the
day of wounding was over and that
tbe dav of healing had com?. He
was proud of a great many things,
but of nothing so much as tbe love
and esteem of bis comrades. In con
clusion he paid a tribute to the mem
ory of General 1 homas, who be sam
bad ever been actuated by the high
est motives.
General Xeeley, of Pittsburgh, and
others followed in short speeches full
of patriotism. General Kimball made
a very happy speech, which kept tbe
company in continuous laughter. He
was vociferously applauded through
out, hardly uttering a sentence that
did not cause his bearers to become
convulsed with laughter. In the
main it was a reply to Mark Twain's
recent speech on babies. The com
pany dispersed on tbe arrival of tbe
boat at tbe wharf, after all joining in
singing "The Battle-cry of Freedom,"
John Brown's liodv," "Aiarcmo
Through Georgia," and other patriot
ic sones. closing with "lrome, Sweet
Home ' and re-entered their Dosses
and were driven to their several ho
tels.
Tbe President's reception in honor
of tbe reunion followed at 7 o'clock
The White House was brilliant with
liirbl and color, handsome uniforms
and elaborate toilets. The east room
sod the several parlors were decorat
ed in elegant taste, r lowers, bunt
ing and smilax were everywhere
The hall running east and went
through tbe boose was adorned with
flags, and the pots of evergreen along
either side, under the brilliant lights
overhead, made quite a pleasing con
trast. The conservatory was thrown
open, and was jost lighted enough to
make the picture enchanting.
Through the hall to the conserva
tory, and through its evergreen path
ways was a favorite promenade
Tbe reception continued until nearly
ten. In the centre of the east room
the President and Mrs. Hayes stood,
and Senator Matthews and his wife,
who were stopping with the Presi
dent.
The guests as they marched in
were presented to tbe President by
Mr Webb naves, and pacing on,
were introduced to Mrs. Hayes by
Colonel Casey, who is turn introduc
ed them to Mrs. Matthews, who pre
sented them to her husband. Tbe
band shaking was constant. Tbe
President bad a pleasant word to say
to all, and Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Mat
thews were very happy in their short
greetings.
After paying their respects to the
President and party, tbe guests fonnd
fther p1eaant receptions awaiting
them. All tbe Cabinet officers, ex
cept the Secretary of War, were pres
ent, in different parts of tbe room
Tbe reception rivaled in brilliancy
and attendance anv reception ever
bfU by President and Mrs. Hayes at
the Executive Mansion. Tbe officers
of the array aud navy were attired in
full-dress uniforms, while tbe mem
bers of tbe Army of the Cumberland
were attired in the conventional black
Tbe costumes of tbe ladies were
especially noticeable for richness and
elegance. Mrs. Hayes wore len. .n
colored silk and satin, and Mrs. M .t
thews damask silk trimmed with lat-e.
Tbe east room and parlors were filled
for nearly three hours, during which
time tbe building sounded with tbe
sweetest music from tbe Marine band
and the Military Academy band
Tbe last visitors left in time for tbe
opening of tbe ball at tbe Capitol
Here a grand promenade concert was
given in place of bavinr it in the big
tent which had blown down. It was
tbe climax of the honor to the old
soldiers. .
Althosgh tbe night was bitter cold
and tbe wind swept down over the
city in Geres and fitting gssts, yet
about ten thousand persons were
there. When tbe committee fonnd
that it was ont of the question to have
the entertainment in tbe tent, tbey
set about at once to secure another
place. The Capitol being tbe only
place large enough, they songht out
Speaker Randall and obtained per
mission from bim to hold the ball
there.
The authorities in charge of tbe
Senate side evidently did not consid
er tbey bad a right to throw open
tbeir wing for a public entertainment
a thing almost unprecedented -and
therefore placed barriers in tbe corri
dors leading to their side of tbe build
ing.
These, however, were soon carried
away by tbe mors daring promenad-
trs, and the sacred precincts of the
ben ate wero invades with impunity.
President and Mrs. Hayes reached
tbe Capitol about tea o'clock; bat,
after making a circuit of tbe rotunda
in tha crowd, and fin dins- it was
packed uncomfortably, aoon left tbe
building.

A Mad Mistake.
The Rev. George Trask, of Massa
chusetts, was noted tbroughont tbe
State as an able and eloquent lectur
er against tobacco and all intoxicat
ing drinks. At one time be bad ad
dressed a large and attentive audi
ence, and among other things, said in
his lecture that no man habitually
using tobacco and whiskey could ex.
pect to live more than four or five
years after b??inning to use them.
And so earne t and positive was be
in his address, and so attentive was
bid audience, i "-at at its cIojo be con
fidently cballeired any reply, and
invited any questions on the subject
After a moment's silence a man rose
and said :
"I like what you have said, Mr.
Trask, but I would like to aek a
question. One of my neighbors ia an
old man, some 75 years of age, and
has used both tobacco and whisky
all he could get ever since be was
35 years of age, that is, for some 40
years. How do you reconcile that
with what you said, that a man us
ing both tobacco and whisky could
not live more than five or six
years ?"
Mr. Trask was somewhat startled
and to gain time for collecting his
thoughts' began asking some ques
tions. "How old did you say that man
was
"Some 75 years."
"And has been ueing both tobacco
and whisky ever since be was thirty
five !
"Yes, using them constantly and
freely."
"Well, what kind of a man is he ?
Does be seem to take much interest
in businesD, or in anything that is go
ing on V
"Wa'al, no ; I don't think that he
does."
"Does he eeem to love anybody ?"
"Wa'al, no."
"Does he seem even to hate aoy
body ?"
' So, I don't think he does; he
seems to be sort ot indifferent to ev
erything." "Well," said Mr. Trask who had
by this time gathered np bis wits,
"your old man bas evidently been
dead fur some forty years, and the
only mistake you've made is that you
did not bury bim."
Amid tbe shout of laughter that
rose upon tbe answer, tbe audience
broke up, and Mr. Trask was reliev

How the Captaia'a PMeat Ttsrked.
Having piped all hands to splice
tbe maiu-brace, the captain had the
first mate of tbe farm tow out the
horse and wagon, aud, ascended the
quarterdeck of the craft, he took pos
session of the tiller-ropes (as he styl
ed tbe reins), aud said :
"Now, boys, ray invention is very
simple I might make a million dol
lars of it maybe, but I aia't going to
patent it. I've simply fastened a
twenty-fathom line onto the mizzen
axle of the craft, and put on a stout
grapnel. I shall bring this here boss
along tbe road under double-reefed
topsail, Bails, and then one of you
cuseeB scare bim open an umbrella
at bim, or something; then, when be
goes tearing along about twenty-fire
knots an hour aud won't answer to
bis helm, I'll just drop tbe anchor
and ride on tbe gale. Git up 1"
The horse came jogging gently
down the road, when, according to
the programme, tbe first mate poshed
out and hit him a belt over tbe nose
with a blanket Tbe terrified animal
stood on bis hind legs for a moment
and then struck a course northwest
by north with great celerity. Tbe
interested spectators beheld tbe fear
less cap'n Bitting unmoved, though
the buggy bent and careened before
tbe breeze; then, with a triumphant
smile, tbev saw bim beave out tbe
anchor with a merry "Yo. heave,
bo!" The grapnel dragged for a
tew moments in tbe treacherous
sands of tbe road, tbeu caught in a
rock. Cap'n Curn well rose into tie
ir like a oird on tbe wing and sailed
majestically forward, alighting ou
bis ear : the horse stood on bis bead
tor a second, and then resumed his
1 onward course at tbe rate of at least
seventy mile an hour, aud amid a
frightful ..crashing, rippiug, tearing
and smashing, all the wogon vanish
ed into thin air except a piece of tbe
mizzen axle, to which the anchor bad
been fastened.
Captain Cornwell can't precisely
understand wby, when the tackle
held, be wasn't able to ride out tbe
gale, but is not discouraged, and will
repeat tbe experiment as soon as he
bas bad a new boggy built upon lines
of bis own designing. Life insur
auce canvassers are bearing down
upon bim from all quarters and the
liveliest interest is manifested in the
neighborhood. We wish tbe gallant
captain all success. Chicago Weekly

The latest argumeut against tbe
jury system comes from southern
Colorado.
During the recent trial ot a case
there one of tbe lawyers began to
practice a little of his favorite process
of cross-examination, the subject up
on whom be directed bis skillful har
pooning being a woman and tbe per
formance being to tbe manifest dis
comfort of a brawny looking juryman
whose appearance indicated him to
be as careless of tbe restrictions of
law as tbe wild buffalo of tbe bound
less Western prairies. As tbe cross
examination reached a particular
point, he astonished tbe court by
springing to bis feet, thrusting bis
hand into bis hip pocket, and ex
claiming: "Hi thar, Mr. Stick-in-the-mud!
Jack McCabe won't 'low no man to
talk to a woman in that shape ; not
while he's round !"
The Judge rebuked honest Jack,
and be slunk into bis seat, embar
rassed, but mad.
Tbe lawyer turning, upon him
with withering scorn, began bombas
tically :
"Of what weight with me is the
opinion of an ignorant juryman ?

"That's what I thought," said
Jack, a, with one bound, he cleared
the rail and wonnd himself around
the lawyer.
Before a constable could reach and
separate the strnggliag pair, Jack
bad lacerated tbe lawyer so that be
waa obliged to give up tbe case and
go borne on a shutter. The juryman
nearly cleared ont the court before
be conld te placed ander arrest, dis
abling two constables and putting
the crier and Judge to flight.

AN EVENING WITH GOUGH..
It was my good fortune to ba pres
ent at a notable gathering tbe other
night It was a parlor reception to
John B. Gouge, on bis return from a
lecturing campaign in Great Britain,
which has eclipsed every former
brilliant triumph of his wonderful
career.
There was the slight, nervous fig
ure and diminutive head and face of
tbe merchant prince, Woe E Dodge,
; whose twinkling eyes dance one mo
ment with merriment, and are suf
fused the next with a melting tender
ness we arc accustomed to look tor
only in a womsn. Beyond him stood
the solid figure and striking lace of
the Judge wboBe sentence hurled
I Tweed from place and power, and
consigned biui to a prison cell, Unlet
Jnstice Noah Davie. Without fear
and without reproach he treads the
oft polluted balls of Justice with a
spotless ermine, and carries on his
face the soft cross-lines of a gentle
ness bo singular that you feel a
strange fascioaiion in his presence.
He says thai Gough has done more
to prevent crime than any man liv
ing, and that he knows no higher pos
sible need of praise to award to man
than that There, too, was Dr. Tay
lor, successor to Dr. Thompson as
pastor of that old Bulwark of Free
dom, tbe Brua Jway Tabernacle. Im
partial critics generally pronounce
Dr. Tavlor tbe best preacher in New
York, notwithstanding his habits of
thrusting hands and arms down into
his capacious pockets and drawling
through his nose. One of the few
people who do not admire him once
said to me:
"Why, I'd be willing to drawl like
that for $14,000 a year!"
Then there was Dr. Newman, late
of tbe Metropolitan Church at Wash
ington ; friend of General Grant, ex
inspector of Asiatic consulates, with
a btroog failing for "Uima alyan
snows" and "Tbe Cosmos ;" portly,
kindly, bcbolarly, with a real title to
greatness which the general world
would more gladly recognize if tbe
doctor could only seem less conscious
of its validity. There, too, was he of
tbe prolific pen and rattling, ringing
oratory, Dr. Tbeo. L. Cuyler, who
carries in Ins face and deportment no
sign of the wonderful capacity lodged
in bis brain, or tbe boisterous humor
that keeps him, old man that he is,
actiog like a mischievous, fun-loving
boy. II t calls Mr. and Mrs. Gongn
"BROTHER JOHN AND SISTER MARY,"
for he has known and loved them
tenderly ever since an awkward
young man in country clothes began
btirring with bis eloquence tbe peo
ple of tbe Foundry Chapel in Wash
ington over 30 years ago.
Dr. Ormiaiou was there too with
that head of hair. Did you ever see
that hair? No! Well, then, do you
never visit this wicked city and go
away again without hearing one of
the Doctor's good old fashioned, solid
sermons and seeing that bair 1 Im
agine a Kaffir, a Bushman, a south
Sea Islander and a Jack-in a Box
combined as to hair ; then scalp tbe
front balf of him in a straight line
across from ear to ear and palish the
bare part with sapolio;iben comb
all the hair on tbe posterior balf of
tbe head out eight inches at a right
angle with the skull line without a
single hair reclining to its neighbor,
and without a pretense ot a part or
any sort of a highway through the
wilderness, and you have only then
begun to gel a faint, glimmering idea
of the moseum this saintly old man
carries about in bis bat
Good old Dr. Burcbard was there,
who afier forty years of pastorate
surprised bis people with a resigna
tion, which nobody had asked for,
simply because he wanted to drop
out before people had wea'ied of him,
and getting a surprise himself in a
purse of some $13,000 as a love of
fering from bis church. Bat I must
talk about Gough, if I am going to.
The awkward young man in coun
try clothes bas left a wonderful im.
print on the time in which be live'.
He bas addressed cure people than
any man who ever lived except Whit
field, and probably more than even
bim. Lecture bureaus unanimously
declare that he draws better bouses
and pays better than any other lect
urer, and be bas traveled aud lect
ured till a total of bis travels repre
sent a journey of three times tbe cir
cumference of the earth. For fifteen
months be has been laboring in Eug
land. Just before his departure J
was prexent at a temperance meeting
in Cooper Iaetito'e, when Gougb
made his appearance quietly at a rear
door and tried to reach a back seat
unobserved. Some one recognized
bim aod called out that "Uougn was
present." when tbe entire audience
turned round and demanded that be
take the platform. He reluctantly
came forward and made a twenty
minute speech, more powerful aud
tremendous than any bit of oratory I
ever heard from pulpit, bar or plat
form. His magnificent eloquence
borst over thit vast audience like
swelling tornado, and swayed and
swept and overwhelmed his hearers
till every ordinary expression ot en
tbususm seemed inadequate to con
vey tbeir feelings, and his auditors
abandoned themselves wholly to bis
magic influence, and were swept
along helpless upon its tremendous
and resistless torrent.
Gough is mu old man, now, and
while be promises to live mauy years
vet, ten years more will probably see
bis honored o ime stricken from lect
ure bureau lists, aod tbe silver-
tongned English boy will have struck
his last bot blow at intemperance and
made his last public appeal to tbe cit
izens of his adopted country. He
went to Europe for rest, expecting to
deliver but thirty lectores, but before
he reached tbe dock at Liverpool be
was besieged with committees from
every part of the kiogdom all ot er
ing tbe same cry, "Come up and help
ua." 1 be condition ot aDairs was so
Btirring that, deferring bis rest he
plunged into tbe work as never be
fore ia his life, and delivered over
one huudred and fifty lectures. He
told os of nine Lord Biehops lately
espousing the cause of total absti
nence, of Spurgeon at last adding his
vast lu flue nee to teetotalaism, of the
Lord Chancellor himself presiding at
one of bis meetings, of the mighty
work among tbe lowly ia London on
tbe model of and copied from Jerry
McAuIey's Water Utreet Mission
and of many otber things which fill
us with renewed hope for tbe suffer
ing middle and lower classes of oar
English cousins. It was a memora
ble night, a notable company and a
cause so worthy of every good man's
sympathy that I regret more than
ever that newspaper letters most, of
necessity, be brief.

has decided to be sopplied with de
tachments from tbe different regi
ments in garrison here, and M. M ar
tel, who at first bad determined to
retain the gendarmes tor the Senate,
bas changed his mind, and followed
his colleague's example. This is,
perhaps, a trifling matter, but it will
not be without due effect on the army,
and more so as tbe President of the
chamber every morning invites to
breakfast the officer commanding bis
guard.
M. Jules Grevy, as Grand Master
of tbe Order of tbe Legion of Honor,
bas just expressed bis opinion on tbe
decisions of the Council ia tbe matter
of the petitions of tbe amnestied
Communists. Like tbe Council, the
President of the Republic rejects 23
requests for re-installation. Other
amnestied Communists may Bend in
their cases for investigation, but tbe
point is now settled that the amnesty
does not necessarily restore titles and
decorations. Both M. Grevy and
the distinguished order of which be

gratulated on tbe result of their de
liberations. Tbe dignity of tbe or

and the discipline of tbe army well

Woman is not created perfect
She has her faults such as false
hair, false complexion, and so on.
But she is good deal better tban
her neighbor, and she knowa it.
Eve was a woman.
She must have been a model wife,
too, for it cost Adam nothing to keep
her in clothes.
Suit, I don't think she wss happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles
aod air bei information about every
body she kuew, nor excite the envy
of other ladies by wearing her new
winter bonnet to church.
Neither could she bang over the
back fence and talk with her near
neighbor.
All these blessed privileges were
denied her.
Poor Eve ! she's dead.

lie entered the train at Passaic, N.
J. and took possession of a comforta
ble corner ia tbe baggage car. As
the conductor walked through the
train and shouted "tickets" there was
no response from tbe comer. "I
must have h;s fare or I'll put bim off''
the conductor said :
A tall negro who bad charge of tbe
animal answered :
"What! fare for a Jog?"
"Yes, the charge is tbe same for-a
dog as for a man."
"Well, be won't pay," said tbe ne
gro ; "so put biai off."
Tbe animal was a very large blod
bound that had belonged to Mr. lie!
mas Rjuiaioe, aod bad been used for
watching orchards and sheep and
bringing home cattle from pasture.
He bad become vicious, aod was dan
gerous to strangers, therefore Mr.
Romaine had presented him to an
eogine company in Paterson, and he
was on bis way to bis new home.
As the conductor advanced, on
nearing tbe next station, to fulfill his
threat, tbe bloodhound simply raised
bis head from his paws, measured
bis antagonist, and with a look of
scorn resumed bis nap. Being a
married man, and having a family to
support, tbe conductor said be felt
sorry for the animal, and ordered him
to be delivered with care under a D.
H. check.
Yoong mea out of business are
sometimes sadly hampered by pride.
Many young men who go weat take
more pride than money, aud bring
back all the pride and no money at
all. A young man who "works for
bis board," no matter what honest
work he does, bas no cause for shame.
A young man who eats tbe bread of
idleness, no matter how much money
be bas, is disgraced. All yoong men
starting in life ought to aim first of
all at a place where they can earn
tbeir bread aod batter with hoe, axe,
spade, wheelbarrow, curry-comb,
blacking-brush no matter how. In
dependence first Tbe bread and
butter question settled, let tbe young
man perform bis duty so faithfully as
to attract, and let him constantly
keep bis eyes open for a chance to do
better. About half tbe poor, proud
young men, are always out of work.
Ibe yoong man wbo pockets bis
pride, and carries an opper lip as stiff
as a cast iron door-step scraper, need
not starve, and stands a good chance
to become rich.

A witchcraft craze seems to have
broken oat in one corner of Butler
county at a settlement about a mile
and a balf west of the county seat
A correspondent says it first worked
its deviltry in the soul of George W.
Husel ton's nephew, wbo boards with
tbe Pierces, and then attacked tbe
hired man on tbe premises. All of
Pierce's neighbors say it is the genu
tne witchcraft, many promineut citi
zens Bupportiag tbe belief. The vic
tims profess to hold spirit rappings
and see more living monstrosities
tban Barnum ever invented. The
father of one of the unfortunate men
came to Milleretown one day to pro
cure the services of a witch master,
who has bad them again aod again,
told the witch-master "that he should
think the of matter delirium tremens
were not a circumstance to his poor
boy's disease."
Tbe witch-master exercised bis
charms over tbe witchery that was
in the yoong man, but he could not
accomplish anything. Then another
witch-master, living a few miles ont
in the country, was engaged and he
commenced operations by cutting a
cire'e around a white oak tree and
cordially invited tbe devil to come
out of the person. He performed this
ceremony while alone in a forest and
the writer has his own words for tbe
same, lie said that ir the young
man were released from tbe thraldom
of tbe evil ones a terrible noise, as
tbongb an army were rushing through
tbe foiest, would be beard aod tbe
tree in tbe circle tbat bad been pre
pared tor the devil's reception would
be torn asunder with a loud report
Upon making inquiries tbe writer
learned that there are six men fol
lowing tbe occupation of witch-mas
ters in this coun'y. Tbeir fees for
professional services are very reason
able in simple cases, but when tbe old
boy gets a two mouths' start of a pa
tient, great difficulty is experienced
in casting him out and tbe fee is five
dollars a treatment

After many years of i atient wait
ing on tho part of bis fr ends aid de
scendants, Adam at last is to have a
monument
This unique idea was originated
by Mark Twain and is being carried
out at Elmira, New York, bis former
residence. The shaft is to be seventy
feet high and the inscription is to be
written by Mark. You may be cer
tain it will nut be one over which
tbe descendants of Adam will weep ;
"on tbe contrary quite tbe reverse "
The whole thing was at first regard
ed as a huge joke ; but unless there
is a concerted action on tbe pait cf
tbe citizens of Elmira to deceive the
outside world tbey are really in eeri
est io this affair. A coniemjO tr
complains tbat tbey have negUed
Lve, and says :
"Wby a monument to Adam and
none to Eve ? He was not half as
brave, after tbe defection of bisciimo,
as was Eve, and played a scimy
part ia the affair when be wasfuuja
out as a breaker of the law. We con
fess to have never had a great admi
ration for our original progenitor.
The maternal branch was much more
noble in bearing under her vicissitude,
aod deserves a monumeut, ou the
score of tbe true qualities of a noble
spirit, in a higher degree tban her
partner in trouble. Adam bad a full
share ia the sin which lost the race
in paradise, bat Eve nas done all tbe
good work in ameliorating tbe loss,
and giving us the best substitute that
is possible under tbe circumstances.
Wby not build ber monument, as
well one for Adam ?" So say we.

Mothers, have a care that a passion
for dress and personal display be not
generated ia the hearts of your
daughters. How many lives have
been blighted, how many souls drag
ged into the depths of sin by craviug
for dress! Teach your daughters
modesty and contentment. Begin
wben tbey are little. Don't make
your children, wbo should be all in
nocence, women of the world in a
sense before tbey have got into their
teens. What shonld children know
of the fripperies of fashion J Y t '
bow many a little miss of eight or
nine is, owing to the foolish moul-
gence of parents, as vain of ao elabo
rately trimmed drees and as alive to
the charms of "style" as one twice
ber years. Teach your little girls
tbe beauty of modeatv and tbe virtue
of contentment from tbeir earlier
years, and wben tbey grow op tbey
will be nobler women for it and abler
to withstand tbe temptations of tbe
world. It was only tbe otber day
tbat a young girl in tbe West com
mitted suicide because of tbe disL ja
or which she bad brongbt upon her
self and ber family by a petty crime
into which aha had fallen through tbe
love for dress. Catholic Advance.
