The ten months which have elapsed since the assas sination do not make thu feeling which that event called out eem less fVer-h or genuine, and the interst in the solemnites of Congress is perhaps greater than if they had been earlier. The demand of no other occasion, the fame ot no orator, could have assembled such an audience asgatherd in the House to listen to Mr. liancrott'saddress. We think it fortunate that the ordinary run of publio men were passed by in order to choose as or ator a man of letters, a historian of more than national fame, and not a politician. Not much time was allowed for the compo sition of the address yet it bears few marks ot haste. The style is that which every read er of American history is trrown familiar elaborate, stately, full of vigor, often rising to eloquence, always thoughtful, and always abounding in interest. Mr. Bancroft's address, like his paper pre viously published on the same' subject, is more historical than biographical. It is a rapid yet copious survey ot the period in which Mr. Lincoln's career was passed, audit deals with him as one who was molded by events and acted as their agent, rather than as one whose force of character made the times take shape in accordance with his will. It is well known that Mr. Lincoln had the same view of his own relation to affairs: he thought himself put at the head of the lie public in order to execute the will of the people as from time to time indicated not to take the lead in public business, not to announce a policy, not in a single instance to transcend the popular expectation, nor ever to show himself guided and uplifted by a prophetic inspiration. J lis character seem ed to be the net result of forty years of Amer can history mixed with weakness, falling far short of heroism, rising to greatness by very slow steps. We were in such a condtton that a hero would have ruined us; would have ended the war in threemonths before it was possible the object of the war could be attained and left another war inevitable. The defects of the man whom we choose for a leader were our salvation. His eulogy is written in the consummation of the four years'. struggle, the progress of which expo ses almost every step to criticism. Mr. Ban croft, therefore, properly and necessarily has traced the course of events out of which the war grew, and through which it was protrac ted, in order to give a just view of Mr. Lin coln,? character and influence. His summa ry is a masterly one, and though, as we re marked, it must have been the work of a few weeks, will add not a little to his popular reputat ion. The address will not be deemed unworthy to take a permanent place among the works of the historian of America. Tribune. Shaup Practice. Some time ago, a burglar was arrested at Turbotsville. Some thirteen hundred dollars were found on linn. This money was taken from him and he was sent to jail. But the parties who re tained the money gave him a note stating that they had retained that amount. Soon the rogue broke out of jail, went to Phila delphia, had the note cashed and left for parts unknown. In the meantime the par ties who arrested him, divided the money among those who had aided in the arrest; but taken aback when the note came for collection. Of course they had to pay it, and the rascal lost only the discount. Pittsburgh, the second city of the State, is rapidly improving and well deserves its name as the Birmingham of America. Its substantia! growth is indicated by the fact, that seven years ago the city had but five banks, now it has twenty, with a capital of of 825,000,000. It has five large cotton fac tories, and seven woolen ones. It has no less than fifty glass-making establishments, which produced $12,000, 000 worth last jTcar. In the iron trade, the amount of manufac ture is immense. The value of its coal trade trade is estimated at 9,000, 000, while its oil trade and manufacture is put at $25,000, 000. The intelligence of the transfer of Jeffer son and Berkeley counties from the State of Virginia to West Virginia was received by the citizens of Harper's Ferry with great rejoicings. (Jheer alter cheer rent tue air; and feeling that their approbation ot the result had not been sufficiently exhibited, they determined to have an artillery salute. They accordingly applied to the agent of the Ordance Bureau for something to make a noise with, who very promptly provided a 24-pound mortar, with which they made the mountains and valleys in that vicinity re sound and reverberate with artillery music. Would you wish to live without a trial ? Then you wish to die but half a man. Without trial you cannot guess at your own strength. Men do not learn to swim on a table ; they must go into deep waterand buffet the surges. If you wish to under stand their true character, if you would know their whole strength of what they are capable, throw them overboard ! Over with them and if they are worth saving, they all swim ashore of themselves. At Knoxville.

There is living on Martha's Vinevard an old man who has never teen off the"lland, and the extent of his knowledge is bounded by the confines of his home. He has been told of a war between the North and South, but as he has never heard the din of battle! nor seen any soldiers, he considered it a hoax. He is utterly unable to read, and ii ignorant to the last degree. An excellent story is told of his first and only day at school. He was quite a lad when a lady came to the district where his father resid ed, to teach school, lie was sent, and as the teacher was classifying the school he was called up in turn and interrogated as to his former studies. Of course he had to say that he had never bj-en to school, and knew none of his letters. The schoolmistress gave him a seat on one side until she had finished the preliminary examination of the rest of the scholars. She then called him to her and drew on the black-board the letter A, told him what it was ana wished him to remonittftr Jmw it looked, lie looked at it a moment then innuired (hn stnttor.l -i and "Il-h-how do you know it's A?" The teacher replied that when she was a girl, she had beeu to school to an old gentle man who told her so. The boy eyed the A for a moment and then asked, "II-h-how did he know?" This was almost a stunner, but tho teach er suddenly recollected that he had told her that when a boy he had been to a school to a lady, who taught him that it was A. The boy eyed the letter a little longer, when he burst out with, '"II-h-how did he know but she 1-1-lied?" The teacher could not get over this obsta cle, and the poor boy was sent home as in corrigible. ' A Lesson of Trust. Some time ago a boy was discovered tn Clairborn street, evidently bright and intel ligent, but sick. A man who has the feel ing of kindness strongly developed went to him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there. "Waiting for God to come for me," he replied. '"What do you mean." sid the eentleman. touched by the phathetie tone of the answer ard the condition of the boy, in whose eye and flushed face he saw evidences of fever. "God sent for mother and father and lit tle brother," said he, "and rpoktheni away to His home up in the sky, and mother told me when she was sick that God would tako' care of me. I have no home, nobody to give me anything, and so I came out here, and have been looking so long up in the sky for God to come and take care of me, as mother said He would. He will come, won't he? Mother never told me a lie." "Yes, my lad." said the man overcome with emotion, "He has sent me to take care of you." You should havo seen his eyes flash and the smile of triumph break over his face as he said: 'Mother never told me a lie, jir, but you have been so long on the way." What a lesson of trust, and how this inci dent shows the effect of never deceiving children with tales. The recent maltreatment of Captain John son in iionda, by ex-rebels, seems to have been a maturely organized affair. The mob also called upon the United States District Attorney and ordered him to leave the State forthwith, or forfeit his life. It is stated that the civil authorities lend their coun tenance to these outrages, and the military is at present inadequate to protect Union men from these assaults.

To he a woman of fashion is one of the pnsipst things in the world. A latfi writer thus describes it: "Buy everything you tinn't want, and nav for nntninir vmi trot- smile on all mankind but your husband; be hannv evervwhfr hut nr. rinm.- nno-lppfc vour children and nnrs Ian-doc? cr tn church everytime you get a new dress." Genuine neighborly love knows no dis tinction of persona. It is like the sun, which does not ask on what it shall shine, or what it shall warm; but shines and warms by the very law of its own being. So there is nothing hidden from its light and heat. The truest Christian politeness ia cheer fulness.' It is graceful, and sits well on old as well as young.
