WASHINGTON NOTES. Senator Mnlione. of Virginia, was nut. tinder bonds not to fight a duel with Gen. Jubal Early.

A Plea for Tobacco.

Here is an eloquent plea for the use of tpbacco: “It composes the mind, busies the thoughts, it attracts all outward objects to the mind’s view, it settles and retents the senses, it cheers the understanding, strengthens the judgment, spies out errors, it exasperates follies, it heats ambition, it comforts sorrow, it abates passion, it excites to noble actions, it digests conception, it enlarges knowledge, it elevates imagination, it creates fancy, it quickens wit, and it makes reason pleader arid truth judge in all disputes and controversies between right and wrong.” So wrote Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle, some 200 years ago, and probably many a wife has indorsed her statements since, for it does work wonders with an irritable man,"'we all know.

“A Firm Adherence to Correct Principles.”

THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.

Ceremonies az the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Surrender of Yorktown. Yohktowm, Oct 19. Yesterday’s proceedings in the celebration now in progress may be briefly described as follows: At 10 o’clock salutes were fired from Gen. Haneock’s camp. The steamer Excelsior, with the Yorktown Congressional Commission on board, arrived, and was received with salutes from Gen. Hancock's camp and the war vessels in the h%rbor. Shortly after the Dispatch and Tallapoosa hove in sight, and were saluted by the camp and gunboats. President Arthur left the Dispatch at 11:30 and proceeded to Lafayette Hall, where he was received by the Governor of Virginia. The distinguished guests, including the descendants of Lafayette and Steuben, Governors of States and Congressmen, began to arrive at Lafayette Hall about 11 o’clock. Gen. Hancock arrived at noon and paid his respects to the Governor of Virginia. At about 12:30 President Arthur, accompanied by Secretaries Hunt, James and Lincoln, was driven to the entrance of Lafayette Hall, and was received by Master of Ceremonies Corbin. The President shook hands with the distinguished persons present. The line was then formed, and the party marched to the grand stand, where the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the monument was to take place, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. President Arthur was loudly cheered by the crowd during the march to the grand stand. When all had taken the places assigned them the ceremonies were opened with prayer by Bev. Robert Nelson, grandson art Gov. Nelson, who commanded the Virginia militia at Yorktown. He thanked God for 100 years of blessing vouchsafed this country, for Washington, for our allies and for our victory, and prayed that the people of the land might not pride themselves too much upon their own achievements and prosperity, but that they might thank and trust the Lord. He prayed for peace among all nations and for fraternal concord among the sections of our common country. He prayed for the rulers of the land, that they might be pure, and for the people that they might learn to love and serve the Lord. At the conclusion of the prayer the band played the “Star Spangled Manner” with artillery accompaniment. Gov. Holliday, of Virginia, then delivered the address of welcome. The Governor has a line presence, clear voice and earnest manner, and was frequently applauded, especially by the distinguished gentlemen.who sat around him. His allusions to the unity of sentiment, purpose and destiny of all sections of our common country wore greeted with enthusiastic applause. United States Senator J. W. ’ Johnston, of Virginia, Chairman of the Congressional Commission, then made a few appropriate remarks, in which he sketched the history of the surrender, read from original documents an account of the action of Congress at the time, exhibited the sword voted to the messenger who bore the news of the surrender, and alluded to the fact that W. W. Henry, grandson of Patrick Henry, and the Bev. Dr. Nelson, grandson of Gov. Nelson, were on the stand. In conclusion, ho said that the column, now to be erected, was to commemorate not only the victory of the colonics, but the part taken in that victory by France. Recognition and acknowledgment of aid given by France to this country in the hour of its need was a solem i duty left by the Continental Congress to its successors, and now, after the lapse of 100 years, the Congress of thirty-eight States and 5C,000,000 of people, the Congress of the nation which stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is fulfilling that duty. Three millions of people and thirteen cplonies accomplished the great work, and now 50,000,000 of people and thirtyeight States are celebrating it. Participatingin this celebration are the representatives of the French nation, here at the invitation of this Government. Again French soldiers tread American soil, and French vessels again ride York river. The model of the monument to be erected is here before us. Thirteen female figures representing the thirteen colonies seem to support on their shoulders a column inscribed with the names of thirtyeight States, and crowned with a figure of Liberty. This embodies the idea that from the thirteen colonies grew thirty-eight States, and sprung the truest and most thorough and genuine liberty ever enjoyed by any people. On four sides of the base, and carrying out the original design of the Continental Congress, are emblems of the alliance between the United States and his Most Christian Majesty, and a succinct narrative of the surrender of Earl Cornwallis ; and now, as an appropriate opening of our celebration, the corner-stone of the monument will be laid with all the grand and solemn ceremonies befitting so great an occasion by the order of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, of which Washington himself was a chief member.

The workmen, under the direction of the Grand Master of Virginia, then laid the cornerstone according to the ancient and honorable rite. The chair occupied by the Grand Master on the occasion was one which Lord Boutetort, when loyal Governor of the Old Dominion, presented to the Grand Lodge of Virginia, and in which George Washington sat when Grand Master of Virginia Masons. The sash and apron worn by Grand Master Peyton 8. Coles, of Virginia, were worked by Mrs. Lafayette, and were presented to Washington in 1784 at Mt. Vernon. Afterward, in 1812, they were given to Washington Lodge, of Alexandria, Va., by Maj. Lawrence Lewis. The gavel was made from a portion of the quarter-deck of the United States frigate Lawrence, ther flagship of Commodore Perry at the battle and victory of Lake Erie, Sept. 10, 1813, and was presented to the Masonic Veterans’ Association by a venerable brother of the Rev. Marshall B. Smith, Junt 2, 1880. Judge B. R. Welford, of Virginia, Masonic orator, then made an eloquent address, at the conclusion of which the ceremonies ended. Immediately afterward President Arthur and party left for the steamer Dispatch. The steamer bearing the French Commission, Secretary Biaine, and others, was in the stream some two hours and a half before they were first discovered irom shore, and while the corner stone was being laid Secretary Blaine came to the Government dock and sent word to the authorities in charge ; but it was too late, as the ceremonies were completed, and the party returned to the Tallapoosa. The scene ou the river front was an inspiring one. Men-of-war, steamers, tugs, yachts, sailing vessels, all decked with flags and streamers; salutes to arriving dignitaries, gay uniforms, military, Knights’ Templar, etc.: the music of bands and drums and fifes as the troops landed and marched to quarters, and the crowds of people of all nationalities and conditions who gathered at the batteries or wandered over the grounds—all combined to make a scene of deep interest. There were the usual drills at the camps all day, and they were witnessed by thousands of spectators. The pyrotechnic display at night was a success. All the war-ships were brilliantly illuminated. presenting a beautiful sight. On the Franklin the lights were so arranged as to show the outlines of the ship and the rigging with a magnificent effect. There were also other designs, one being a schooner apparently under sai l . From the yachts in the harbor went forth a constant stream of rockets, etc. Troubles increased on Secretary Blaine’s shoulders as the day went by. It is reported that the French grew jealous of the attention paid the Germans, and the Germans refused to come on the same ship with the French after leaving Fortress Monroe. The Germans came on the Catskill, while the French came on their own vessel. Yomtown, Oct. 20. About 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon Secretary Blaine and the French and German delegations. in full uniform, arrived at Lafayette Hall. On entering, the Marine Band, of Washington, played an appropriate air, the military officers, Congressmen and other persons of distinction greeting .<Skem as they passed. At the end of the hall the President met the distinguished guests, and an informal interchange of courtesies took place. In a few moments the party started for the grand stand, President Arthur and Secretary Hunt leading. They were received with cheers as they appeared upon the platform. Next came Secretary Blaine, escorting the French Legation. Gen. Sherman, with his staff in uniform were next in line, Gen. Hancock and taff following. Gen. Hancock was given three cheers. After a general handshaking, the proceedings wore opened by prayer by Bishop Harris. Ho invoked divine blessing upon the United States and the Republic of France, and,, in conclusion, asked God’s blessing upon all the crowned heads of the world. The “Poindexter Centennial Hymn” wai

then fling by the choruses from Baltimore, Richmond and Washington. President Arthur was then introduced by Secretary Blaine, and delivered the following address: “Upon this soil, 100 years ago, our forefathers Drought to a successful issue theii heroic struggle for independence. Here and then was established, and, as we trust, made secure on this continent for ages yet to come, that principle of government which is the very fiber of our political system—the sovereignty of the people. The resentments which attended, ana, for the time, survived the clash of arms, have long since ceased to animate our hearts. It is with no feelings of exultation over a defeated foe that to-day we summon up a remembrance of those events which have made holy the ground whereon we tread. Surely no such unworthy sentiments could find harbor in our hearts, so profoundly thrilled wi(h the expression of sorrow and sympathy which our national bereavement has evolved from the people of England and their august sovereign, but it is altogether fitt ng that we should gather here to refresh our souls with the contemplation of the unfaltering patriotism, the sturdy zeal and the sublime faith which achieved the results we now commemorate; for so, if we learn aright the lesson of the hour, shall we be incited to transmit to the generation which shall follow the precious legacy which our fathers left to ui—the love of liberty, protected by law. Of the histone scene which we here celebrate, no feature is more prominent,, and none more touching, than tho participation of our gallant allies from across the sea. “It was the presence of the gallant allies from across the sea which gave fresh and vigorous impulse to the hopes of our countrymen, when well nigh disheartened by a long series of disasters. It was their noble and generous aid, extended in the darkest period of the struggle, which sped the coming of our triumph, and made the capitulation at Yorktown possible a oontuay ago. To their descendants and representatives, who are here present as honorary guests of the nation, it is my glad duty to offer cordial welcome. You have a right to share with us tho associations which cluster about the day when your fathers fought side by side with our fathers m'the cause’ which was here crowned with success, and none of the memories awakened by this anniversary are more grateful to us all than the reflection that the national friendships iiere so closely cemented have outlasted the mutations of a changeful century. God grant, my countrymen, that they may ever remain and that ever henceforth, with ourselWsand with all nations of the earth, we may be at peace.” Max Outrey, then, in behalf of the French delegation, was introduced by Secretary Blaine, and delivered an address. Mr. Outrey said the French Government has felt much touched by tho friendly sentiments which inspired the United States with the thought of asking France to participate in the celebration of the Yorktown Centennial, and heartily desires to respond in a manner worthy of both republics to the invitation sent by the President of the United States in behalf of the people of America. Manifestations of public sympathy following the initiative taken by the Congress of the United States bidding France to this national festival, have been looked upon by us not only as an act of the highest courtesy, but especially as a mark of affectionate regard, having the noble aim of cementing yet more closely the ties which unite the two republics. In commemoration of this day. which represents one of the gran4est events in the political existence of this country, the French Government has sent a mission, composed of special delegates from the different departments, and the President of the French republic, wishing to mark his personal spmpathy, has sent one <jt his owe aides-de-camp. They thus desire to show particularly their appreciation of the graceful compliment paid to our country, Each and all of us are proud of having been called to tho honor of representing Fi ance on this auspicious day. The monument which is here to be erected will not only recall a glorious victory; it will perpetuate the recollections of an ever-faithful alliance—faithful through the trials and vicissitudes of an eventful century ; and, as the President of the French republic has so truly said, it will consecrate the union sprung from generous and liberal aspirations, and which the institutions we can now boast of in common must necessarily strengthen and develop for the good of both countries. Ih coming to this Yorktown centennial we come to celebrate the day which ended that long and bitter struggle against a great nation, now our mutual ally ana friend, who here, as under all skies where her flag has floated, has left ineffaceable marks of her grand and civilizing spirit. We come to celebrate the glorious date when the heroes of independence were able to set their final seal to- the solemn proclamation of tho Fourth of July, 1876. We come also to salute tho dawn of that era of prosperity where, led by her great men, America permitted the intelligence of her people to soar and their energy to manifest itself, and thus the pow'er of the United States has strengthened and every year has added to the prestige which surrounds her star-snanerled banner.

When France brought from beyond the seas the co-operation of her army and navy to this valiant people engaged in the war for independence, when Lafayette, Roobambeau, DeGrasse, and many other scions of our illustrious families, came here, they yielded to a generous impulse, and came with disinterested courage to sustain the cause of liberty. A blessing went with their endeavors and gave success to their arms, for when 100 years ago, as to-day, French and Americans grasped each others’ hands at Yorktown, they realized they had helped to erect the corner-stone of a great edifice. But surely the most foresighted among those men would have started had he been able to look down the long vista of a century and see at the end this republic, then young and struggling with all the difficulties which surrounded her, now calm, radiant and beaming with the halo of prosperity. The great Washington himself, whose genius foresaw the destiny of this country, could not have predicted this. Truly the United States have made, especially in these latter years, gigantic strides along tho route to still greater progress, by showing the world what can be accomplished by an energetic and intelligent nation, always as respectful of its duties as jealous of its rights. America has given a great example, and has been the cause of rejoicing .to all true lovers of liberty. France is proud of having contributed to found this great republic and her wishes for your prosperity are deep and sincere. Mutual friendfounded on many affinities, tastes and aspirations, which time cannot destroy, and future generations, I trust, will assist again in this samo place at a spectacle unprecedented in the history of two great nations; renewing, from century to century, compact fraternal and imperishable affection. I will not close without thanking the Federal Government, the dish rentHtates of the Union of which the delegation have been the guests, also the people of America, for the sympathy and welcome extended to the representatives of France. Each of us will treasure the recollection of American hospitality andXriendly sentiments which have been manifested to us in every place and every sphei-e. Marquis de Rochainbeau made a graceful response in French. He said : “ Citizens of tho United States, yon have invited us to celebrate with you the great achievement of arms, and we have not hesitated to brave the terrors of the ocean to say to you that what our fathers did in 1781 we, their sons, would be willing to do to-day, and to attest our constant friendship, and further show that we cherish the same of onr fathers in those glorious days we celebrate. In the name of my companions, who represent here the men who fought, permit me to hope that the attachment formed in these days around this monument which is to be erected, will be renewed in 100 years and will again celebrate a victory which joined our fathers in comradeship and alliance.” Baron Steuben then responded in German, in an appropriate speech, which was loudly applauded. There were vociferous cheers for the distinguished guests of the nation. At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the monument there was a reception by President Arthur in Lafayette Hall, to which the general public was admitted. The following order was read by Secretary Blaine at the celebration to-day: “In recognition of the friendly relations so long and so happily subsisting between Great Britain and the United States, in the trust :.nd confidence of peace and good-will between the two countries for all centuries to come, and especially as the mark of the profound respect entertained by the American people for tbe illustrious sovereign and gracious lady who sits upon the British throhe, it is hereby ordered that at the close of these ceremonies, commemorative of the valor and fucoesf Of orx forefathers their patriotic

struggle for independence, the British flag shall be saluted by the forces of the army and navy of the United States now at Yorktown. Tho Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Naw will give orders accordingly. Chxstkb A. Abthub. By the President: Jaw— G. Blaenx, Secretary of State. Yobktown, Oct. 21. The great event of yesterday, the military review, was successfully carried out All the organizations presented a fine appearance and marched well The route was about four miles over broad fields. One hour and twenty minutes were consumed in passing a given point. When the procession reached the grand stand Gen. Hancock and staff rode at the head, but then fell out of line, and, with President Arthur, his Cabinet, foreign guests and other dignitaries, reviewed the troops from the stand. Gen. Hancock stated to the President there were 9,500 men in hne. The States represented by volunteers were Georgia, New Jersey, Delaware. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York. North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont. Kentuckv. Michigan and Connecticut. The President was quite enthusiastic over the magnificence of the display. The only colored troops in line were two companies from Richnvuul, composing part es the First Virginia ngiment They were loudly cheered by the spectators from tho North. On the grand stand, to which admission was obtained only by ticket from Gen. Hancock’s quarters, beside the President of the United States and members of his Cabinet, Senators, Representatives, Governors of States, Gen. Sherman and staff, the French and German delegations, were a large number of other distinguished men as well as many ladies. The marching of the troops generally was very fine and excited great interest among military men, and elicited loud cheers from the multitude. Gen. Hancock and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee were both loudly cheered wherever they appeared, as a tribute to “ the Blue and the Gray,” and recognition of the fact that both are now marching under the common flag of a common country. The men of Kentucky and Michigan were loudly cheered, as were also the First Connecticut, the Georgia battalion, which has with them two of the guns captured from the British at Yorktown 100 yeirs ago, and the regulars that marched from their several stations North to Yorktown. The State troops vied with each other in drill and discipline, and the friends of each claim the palm. The regulars excited general admiration. Fully 10,000 troops were present during these exercises. In the afternoon Gen. Hancock gave a reception on board the steamer St. John. Among the guests were President Arthur, David Davis, President pro tern, of the Senate; the French ana German visitors, officers of the army and navy, Congressional Commission, Governors, and other officers of States. The commission cut off one day from the programme, and the much-looked-for naval engagement took place in the afternoon, and was witnessed by immense crowds from the bluffs. The large barges and steamboats crowded with people, the naval vessels covered with bunting, the yachts, tugs, sail and row boats with streamers, the music from the bands and the firing of the salutes combined to make the scene long to be remembered.

Our Mental Armory.

What capital things we might say, if we had our wits always about us I When we are alone we invent the happiest of retorts; the most unanswerable arguments flash upon us without any effort on our part; we feel that we have more weapons in our mental armory than “Brown” ever dreamed of; yet, somehow, when Brown attacks us suddenly, we cannot bring our twelve-pounder to bear upon him before he has shot us through and through with his revolver. We, of the superior metal, find ourselves spiked, so to speak. The fact is, we lack readiness. It is a pertinent and timely remark of the Ban Francisco merchant that we should laugh at the French if thev neglected the languages of their neighbors, the Germans and English, and taught their children Turkish ana Syriac; yet we, as a people, neglect the Spanish language, the tongue of 42,000,000 inhabitants of the American continent, our close neighbors and future pusinesa customers, to a vast extent.

INDIANA NEWS.

Hanover College, at Madison, is having an era of prosperity. La Porte is to have a first-class opera house capable of seating 1,500 people. Washington Duncan, one of the oldest pioneers and stock dealers of Floyd county, is dead. The disappearance of N. B. Smith, a student in the medical college at Fort Wayne, is unexplained. The Lafayette soldiers’ reunion was a big affair. It is estimated that 15,000 strangers were in the city. Robert Drew, an aged and wealthy speculator now living at Newville, De Kalb county, is in trouble for having too many wives. Sixty years ago the first lot in Indianapolis was sold, being“lhe first sale of ground of any description in what was then called the “ New Purchase. ” Hon. P. L. D. Mitchell, of Bloomington, a member of the Prison Board, was partially paralyzed a few months ago, his face and tongue being affected. He lias recovered, and now talks with his usual distinctness. Three masked burglars raided the houses of several prominent citizens of Greencastle the other night. At the residence of ex-Congressman John Hanna two held pistols at his head while a third searched the premises. It is reported that the winter wheat in Northern Indiana is looking magnificently. Some of it is already so high that the live stock have been turned in to eat it down. The acreage in Northern Indiana is larger than ever. Of the twenty-five divorce applications on the docket of the Floyd county Circuit Court at the late term, over onehalf were of parties only temporarily residing in the county lor the purpose of prosecuting actions for divorce. In the report of the State-House Commissioners for the quarter ending Sept. 30, they say the walls of the first story will be completed this season. Amount expended duringlast quarter, $56, 847.21; total amount to date, $523,589.90. The wife of John Roszell, of Greensburg, Decatur county, while holding her year-old child in her arms, a toy pistol with which the child was playing was discharged, the load passing nearly through the child’s left arm and the* mother’s fingers, making two ugly but not severe wounds.

The disappearance of Mr. Armstead Lewis, who left his home near Shelbyville, a week ago, still remains a mystery. The gentleman took with him more than $6,000, beside leaving a good business, his wife, and home. Mrs. Lewis has now broken up housekeeping, and will reside with her son till things assume another shape. The affair is dark. For the inhuman ti eatment of a stepson, about 12 years of age, George Laforce was tried in the Circuit Court, at Bedford, and fined $lO. The indictment shows that Laforco had tied the little fellow to a stall or post in the stable, where he remained all day without any water or food, until he was released by some one whose attention was attracted by his cries for help. A- bitter personal controversy has been conducted for some time between the editors of the Sun and the Republican, at Mount Vernon, which culminated in the revival of an old scandal regarding Mrs. Barter wife of the Sun man. The other morning she met C. F. Wertz, editor of the Republican, on the street, and shot at him, but his timely flight and her bad aim saved a tragedy. A young man applying for admission to Purdue College, Lafayette, Ind., was refused admission on the ground that ho objected to subscribe to the regulations of the officers, who will not tolerate secret societies. He applied for a mandamus for the President and faculty, requiring them to show cause, etc. This will be a precedent in cases of literary institutions legislating against secret societies.

New Indiana patents, J. A. Walt, of Anderson, for a watch regulator; also, for a safety-pinion for watches. William J. Bradshaw and L. C. Richardson, of Indianapolis, for a broom; Elijah Bunch, of Richmond, for a spring-bed bottom ; Moses Crawford, of Indianapolis, for a hog-scraping machine ; D. A. Foster, of Green’s Fork, for a vehicle-wheel; George W. French, assignor of one-half’ to J. R. Brown, of Frankfort, for a buckle; William W. Hopkins, assignor to Hopkins Improved Scale Company, of Thorntown, for a supporting device for scale-beams ; H. Oghorn, of Richmond, for a fence; August Sehray and A. Bracntigm. n, of New Albany, for a machine for graining and dyeing leather. The celebrated Muncie school case, entitled Gsirrett D. Leech vs. the State ex rel. Harry R. Wysor, was recently decided by the Supreme Court, Judge Worden writing the opinion, which reverses the verdict of the lower courts. The opinion is very lengthy, and discusses thoroughly all the points in the case. The record shows that one McClintock was trustee of the schools of the city of Muncie. On the Ist day of March he sent his resignation to the City Council, to take effect March 5. The day the Council leceived the resignation it accepted it, and elected Garrett D. Leech to fill the vacancy. Leech immediately entered upon the discharge of his duties, and has served until the present. Fifteen months after Leech’s election the Council held a second election to fill a vacancy which they supposed existed from McClintock’s resignation, and elected Wysor to the fame office they had formerly given to Leech. This suit is a quo warranto bn relation of Wysor against Leech for possession of the office. The Supreme Court holds that the election of Leech is valid, and that he is entitled to the office.

In the suit of Thomas Hopper against the town of Covington, Judge Gresham, of the Federal Court, decided that municipal corporations cannot issue bonds without special legislation. This ruling was made on a demurrer to a complaint in the suit of Thomas Hopper vs. The Town of Covington, the plaintiff seeking to recover the value of interest coupons detached from certain bonds issued by said town. These coupons are in the ordinary form, and contain no recital of the circumstances under which the bonds were issued. In holding as above, the court explained that municipal corporations are created for local, governmental and administrative, but not for business, purposes; and they cannot issue bonds or otlier commercial securities without legislative authority, either expressed or clearly implied, and then only-for the purposes as provided by law. Municipal bonds not issued in pursuance of expressed legislative authority, and for the purposes prescribed, possess none of the qualities of com-, mercial paper. Bonds which contain

no recitals are not commercial paper, and holders are bound to know, if they do not contain recitals, that they are issued under express legislative authority. This decision will affect a number of towns throughout the State.

The Lime-Kiln Club.

“Las' night a nay bur o’ mine passed down to de shores of de mystic river an’ crossed over wid de endless purceshun,” solemnly began the old man as the meeting was called to order. ‘‘He had money an’ property an’ poishun, but he drops outer dis lite like a stone tossed into no oshun. I sat down an’ thought an’ thought, bu£ I could not remember dat dis man had eber won a friend by his sympathies, warmed a heart by his chanty, or made any oue’s burden the lighter by a brotherly word. Ah do funeral goes past dar will be no sigh ; as de puroession turns iuto de cemetery men will hardly gib it a glance. Ho came on airth, libed out his time, and he passes away widout leavin a footprint behind. He was not a cull’d man. but if ho hail bin I should have felt all do worse. None of you am so poo’ dat you neber had calls to share wid some one more hungry; none ob you hab sich poo’ speech that you can’t stop to speak a few kind words to dose in sorrow. Dar am a show fur ebery human bein’ on airth to make his mark. When Uncle Belly Williams died, a hundred women shod tears, a hundred men had the heartache, and twice dat number of chill’en looked down on de face ob de dead, au’ turned away wid sobs in deir froats. Who was ho? Nuflin but a poo’ ole slave man. What was he worf ? Nuffin but do close on his back. But he made his mark. He had kind words fur achin’ hearts ; he had a willin’ han’ fur de weak an' helpless ; he had soft words fur men in passion, an’ strong words fur de cause of right. Ebery house had an open door fur him, an’ ebery chile met him wid a heart full of trust. He sleeps up dar in Potter’s field, widout a mark on his grave, but his deeds an’ his name are oftener spoken of don any of de hundreds who sleep beneath de big monuments. Make friends. Make ’em by deserving friendship. Lib to enjoy life, but live to leave behind you somethin’ better dan a name fur an epitaph cut in cold marble. One sigh of regret—one single tear—one sorrowin' word dat you called from airth away, will be a grander monument dan de hands of man eber yet put up.”— Detroit Free Press.

Corn Pone and “Haown Pups.”

Just after the close of the rebellion, I was employed as traveler by a film in Leavenworth, having all of the State of Kansas for my canvassing grounds. I traveled in a large, covered spring wagon, with five trunks of samples. Late one afternoon, in the autumn of ’66, as I was jobbing over the prairie down toward Fort Scott, I fell in with a young man on horseback, going in the same direction. Wo exchanged salutations, time of day, etc. He was a' nobby fowl, lavender tie, kid gloves, low-necked shoes, plaid suit, a genuine la-de-dfther. Seeing he was a stranger, I asked his biz, where from, whereat, and all that. He was from “Besting, by thundah,” introducing a new spool thread, “The strawngest thread ye ever saw, by thundah.” We shipped for the night at the ranch, kept by an old woman in Israel, from Missouri, who dished up everything in the most primitive manner. There was bacon, potatoes, hominy, corn pone, etc. Accustomed to such fare, I pitched in with a wolf’s appetite, after my day’s hard ride, but noticed when I had got the wire edge off, that the Boston acquain-• tance was not going for his grub with that energy which would indicate “great goneness ” in the region of the stomach. He picked up a bit of corn pone, brokfl* it apart, gazed at it attentively, pulled some short brown things out of it, laid them beside his plate, tried a bit of the bacon and potatoes, then another bit of the pone with more examination, and more short brawn things pulled out and laid aside. Finally, the landlady, seeing all was not right with him, came round to his side of the table, lowered her spec’s from forehead to nose, inspected the small mound of short brown hair beside his plate, and in a very high, squeaky, falsetto voice, exclaimed: “ Wai! I swaw I ower boys hev got a great notion of raisin’ haown pups, an’ to save my soul, I can’t keep them dawgs from sleepin’ in the meal barl.” There was no farther call for corn pone at that meal from any of us, and my new friend remarked that he “nevah knew anything like it in Besting, by thundah.”—J. 11. P. in Indianapolis Herald.

Sanitary Use of Trees.

It is generally known that trees and shrubbery take the carlxmic acid thrown out in the breath of men and animals separate it into its component parts — carbon of oxygen —give back the latter to be used over again, and work up the former into wood and fruit. It is also coming to be generally understood that forest trees do important service in prompting rainfalls, aud in helping to retain the surface water for springs, streams and general use. It is also known that certain species, planted in malarial localities, help to render the latter healthy by somehow using up the deadly miasma. It would not appear that trees'growing near drains carry off the sewerngo water. A gentleman whose cess drain was constructed just like his neighbors’, and in the same kind of soil, lias found it unnecessary to clean it out, while the others had to be cleaned out frequ ntly. An examination showed that throe large trees, whose roots had penetrated into the vicinity of his second, or waste, cess-pool, were clearly the channels through which the waste all escajied. Whether it was changed into plant-food, as is likely, or was exhaled through the leaves, in either case it was disposed of with equal safety.

Camels in America.

It will be remembered that some years ago the experiment of using camels for the transportation of freight across the California desert was tried and proved a failure. Since that time the matter has been gem rally forgotten, and nobody has seemed to care whatever became of the camels themselves. It now appears that some of them lived, and has since bred and flourished in the Gila and Salt River boltoms, and the result is to be that large herds of theseanimals ore now roaming in Arizona and New Mexico. If this is true, it will be strange if American ente.prise does not find a way to utilize them. They are most useful beasts in some other sections of the globe, imd it seems as if the old experiment might yet lie tried and prove successful. With er numbers to draw from, it would not be strange if the subject, if carried out, might result to advantage. The scattered tufts of hair swept out from the shop in front of which the variegated pole rears its gilded head are relics of barbarism.
