i'lcClellau’s Generalship. Notv- IWk flerald. | It is needless now to recite the re as- \ Oiis which make the name of General ; McClellan a name to conjure by not niy among the Democrats of the North, but among patriotic and impartial people in all parts of the country and of both political parties. Few men have been more bitterly or more unscrupulously abused than he, but that, as Shakespeare says, is not his “defect.” There is no longer any question among competent military critics-any whereas to the ability with which he organized and handled the first great army of the republic, and there lias never been any question Among good citizens of the United grates of his fidelity to duty and his patriotic devotion to the institutions of his country. The people of the United States understand now the full meaning of thatcampaign against Richmond which was frustrated by the nervous anxiety of the administration for tho safety of Washington in J by the partisan jealousy and ! ites of the administration’s worst advisers. The subsequent disastrous n.mpaigns of Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant have fully vindicated him; and when on the roll of history the achievements of the great war are ia •• ■ set. forth, not the least bocoia 1-. .Fa*--- will be given him v. c. wi c dope's forces were broken .and seed... red ’ike chaff, and the Army ff Nr.rthi- rn Virginia, with Lee at its m fierce, victorious and hopeful, 10t.. < d the Potomac, gathered togctlu i disorganized masses of Unio’- troops, fused into a new force > the mere enthusiasm for his name, organized them in the course of rapid march, and confidently' flinging them against the great Southern leader at i.ntietam, redressed the national cause at a blow. That deed recalls (he transformation wrought by Wallenstein, restored from exile, when "Into Biiviirta like a winter torrent Tn at Chitftavus poured.”

'W ke t It Costs. Granville Good Templar. Oh, it is a small thing after all, only 10 cents a drink, says many a drinking man. Well, let’s see, you take three drinks a day—then 30 cents a day is $109.50 a year. This is the interest on $1,564 at 7 per cent, simple interest. This 30 cents a day will amount in ten years to $1,171.95. All this is wasted. A family of five per sons will consume 4 barrels of flour. Good flour at $7 per barrel will be S2B; 30 cents a day for drinks then ($109.50) is $81.50 more than the bread for a family of 5 for one year. Perhaps you do not take but two drinks. Then you pay $73 a year; only $45 more than will pay for the bread of a family of five. This will pay for your sugar and coffee The man then that pays 20 cents per day for drinks spends a sufficient sum to supply a iatnily of 5 with bread, sugar and coffee for the year, “O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thoahast no Name to be known by, let us call tho devil. O that men should put an enemy in their mouths To steal away their brains.” T Viere exists in Mount Zabarath, situated on an island in the Red Sea, an emerald mine which was worked by the Egyptians two thousand years before Christ came upon earth. Rich emeralds are still found there. An old lady sleeping during divine service in a church let fall a Bible with clasps to it, and the noise partly awakening her, she exclaimed aloud: “What! you’ve broken another jug, have you?”
