Speaker Keifer arrived in Washington on Tuesday, and thinks that congress ought now to settle down to business. Ha hopes to see everything running along smoothly before the close of the week.

Tbe many admirera of that old champion of the right, Dr. Leonard Bacon, will be pleased to read the tribute cppUd to-day from the Christian Union, evidently from the pen of Dr. Lyman Abbott, formerly of this city. It is a powe#ftri pen-picture of a noble man.

In this connection an interesting statement comes to us. It is to the efiect that President Lincoln was aroused to ill? evil of slavery by the vigorous writings of Dr. Bacon. The effect of a pershtest fight for truth and right is not always visible, but here is an ex&iuple of direct influence that has affected the destiny of the ReP»bk' oi

Es-Ssnalor Sargent's friends claim th«t they have apsurance that he will succeed Secretary Kirk wood. They probably received it by grapevine telegraph.

North Manchester, a small town in Wabash county, reports four eases of smallpox in one family, and the inhabitants are very mucb frightened in consequence.

Leonard Bacon, 1.

Christian Union. The deatb of D/. Bacon, in the s«\wniyninth year of bis spe, ccuried at iiew H*ve», bis home for Sttj« «vrn years, on Sunday, De#ember 24ih. It was apparently not altogether a surprise to hi* friends but it was wholly unexpected by the public.

Dr. Bacon w»a a born soldier. He loved a battle not as a Duke of Alva bat as a Chevalier Bayard not for its carnage but tor its courage. Controversy brings out truth clearly it brushes away the cob webs which spiders spin over the fine .J'ss in an undisturbed room. Dr. Bacurt loved truth, and controversy because it clarifies truth. He was bprn into a KMrmy time end was fitted for it. He was a natural captain, not because of his executive ability, to organize and wi«ld men in solid b-UUlicn*, hot because of that C"nt»gious courage which aiwaya inspires followers though they know not whither they are being led. Wherever, during the last half rantury, a battle has raged for human right and welfare, there the white plume of this Henry of Navarre of theology has been ceen, and there followers have stfsamed after him. But they hive aiwaya been volunteer*- with them he never held council of war beforehand, to them he never issued congratulatory bulletins afterward. Never was man more courageous: he counted neither the host that opposed nor the recruits that followed. He was equally reffdy to sally against the enemy with three hundred unarmed volunteers, or to go up against them with only an armor bearer, or to try their champion alone with but a shepherd's sling. And he knew how to take the champion's sword to slay him with.

Never was man more absolutely truthful more supremely indifferent whether tbe truth hurt or helped hia cause or bis party. Indeed, his cause was always the cause of truth, and party he had. none. He was always prompt to turn his trenchant satire upon the friend and follower of yesterday, if to-day the friend and follower seemed to him to be false to the truth of God. Ho was qaite as fearless an antislavery man as William Lloyd Garrison but was as quick to criticise the spirit and meth«d8 of the anti-slavery reformers as to assault the conservatism that praised or palliated or pardoned slavery. He was the relentless foe of the liquor traffic, and equally of the false philosophy shafc hopes to eradicate it by a statute. He was a leader among Congregationaliste but Congregationalists were always afjBid of him lest be should out with some unpalatable. truth of history or Biblical interpretation, or philosophical principle that the enemy could quote against their ism. No truth could he ever be counted on to conceal for parly ends or personal triamph. Neither personal friendship nor party interest ever muddled the clearness of his vision or deflected the simplicity of his purpose. In the hour of Mr. Beecber's adversity he was at once his warmest friend and his sharpest critic He never deserted and he never flattered a friend he never surrendered to and he never maltreated an enemy. To him no end wsB sacred that foul means need serve. If he took pleasurable pride in his stalwart independence, this was a pardonable weakness, if it were a weakness would that more ministers had it! lie belonged to the best type cf Puritan stock. The Puritan, like the Hebrew, regarded practical righteousness as the consummation of religion. For a piety that produced nothing but prayers end penances the Hebrew prophet and the New England preacher had a common and a healthy contempt. Dr. Bacon was essentially a Puritan preacher a Hebrew prophet. In the pulpit, on the themes too commonly discussed in the desk, he was not more interesting than a thousand nameless and unknown teachers of theology. He had no arts of rhetoric or elocntion with which to dress up a scholastic lecture he was no skillful shopman, to make a wire skeleton look like a woman, by the aid cf cloak atd bono*' bat when humanity was concerned, when troth wadesecrated in iis sacred temple, when the slave power attempted to gag the American pulpit, and did for a time gag tbe great representative religious boci3ear every fiber of his heroic soul w&> aroused, and he thundered out his dennnciatien of the double wrong that enslaved* Northern ministry that it might enslave a southern black, with an eloquence that needed no rhetoric or elocution to compel hearing. It was a significant fact that his last act was the composition of an unfinished paper on the Utah problem. He worked to the last for mm. With God, for man: in these four words arc to be found the secret of his courage and his power,

W« mak« no attempt lo tell the story of his life. To do this it would be necessary to write the history of his country. His fir»t parish was his last one he was ordained, lived, and died New Haven. But America was his pulpit, and her people bis congregation and there was not a theme which, qpneerned her prosperity which his inoeeeantly active mind did not study, and upon which his ever vigorous voice and pea did not do some effective fetching. Ha made some mistakes most men do.' Bat there was no theme on which he did 6ot court free thought, and none oa which he ever proved recreant to his own conviction* of the troth.

Heal to Them-

A writer of a atoty which I akes hold of th*f hoarfc mtart bfttsepf bo sympathetic lor it is as true in Mrriting as la speaking that he who would movft others to tonrs must finp^ weep hinuwife

A friend niet Thaekonfky ™kile he was writing "TUo~ Newconics" one noon, just an ho was coming out of his house. Seeing that the novelist's oyes were rod, as if he had been weeping, be asked: ••What's the matter, my dear fellow? Save you loss rotative?''I 'Tvajuitquit CoU Nowcpmei" said Thackeray, again wiping tils eyes, "and I feel as though I had been burying my father."

Readers of that most pathetic 'sotmo ip English literature where the noble coloxiel, thinking himself baok in-the old school-room, answers Adsum (present) to Death's call, will sympathize with Thackeray's tears.

Charles Dickons used lo say that bis characters became real persons to him while bo was .creating thorn. He laughed »t their pranks and wept over their misfortunes. It was long before ho could bring himself to kill "Little Paul," in "Dombey & Son," though ho knew ho must. For as a critio said, who saw that such a boy could not be carried into manhood, "If Dickens don't kill 'Paul,' 'Paul' will kill Dickens."

An incident associated with the dramatizing of tho "Christmas Carol," shows the tender sympathy of tho author. Dickens, while attending one of the rehearsals, notiood that the manager hat! brought on tho stage a set of irons and bandagoe. Ete intended theta to aid in making the part of "Tiny Tim," the poor little cripple more effective. ••No, sir, no," interposed Dickens, taking: the manager aside. "This wont dol Remember how painful it would b3 to many of the siudionce having crippled children." i-

An Effeotnal Temperance Lectrtre, A young man -called,, in company with several other gentlemen, upon a young lady. Her fatlier was also present lo assist in entertaining the caller.-'. He did not share his daughter's! scruples agaiust the use of spiritous drinks, for he had wine to offer. The wine was pourei\ out, and would have bees drunk, but the young lady asked: "Did you call upon me, or upon pa»pa?"

Gall antry. if nothing else, compelled them to an ^rer: "We called tiponjrott." "Then, you will ploaso not driuk wine. I have lemonade for my callers."

The father urged the guests to drink, and they were undecided. The young lady added: "Remember, if you call, upon mb then you drink lemonatte but.if upon papa, why, then in that cast^I h.^YO ji_Qj l|ing to say." *a *.

The wine glasses were set down with their contents untasted. After leaving tha house, one of tho party exclaimed: "That is the most effectual temperance lecture I have ever heard."

The young man from whom' these facts were obtained broke off at once from the use of strong drink, and is now a clergyman prcacliing temperauce and religion. He still holds in grateful remembrance the lady who gracefully and resolutely gave him to understand that her callers should not drink wine.

Oaught In His Own Trap?J A story—quite as good for being true—is told of two medical students, the one a very large and the other a very small person, who were- roommates and bedfellows. On a certain warm night tho big man, who was on the inner side awoke lo the consciousness that he was being crowded .to the wall, his companion having taken a good sized reservation in the middle of the bed. By way of punishing the enencroachment with neatness and dispatch, ho gently adjusted his soles and ousted the little fellow so effectually as to land him on the carpet. The ejected one showed no signs of resentment until several nights later, when finding bis bulky comrado occupying a position similar to the one in which ho had

fiven

offense, he plotted a revenge, tealthily clambcring over the huge form, he braced his back against tne wall, and planting a foot on either side of his friend's spine, collected all his foroes and gave a tremendous push. The effect was instantaneous, and if not what had been anticipated,. was certainly in strict accordance with nature's laws. The big man moved, but the bed' moved with him, opening a wide space between ltirn and the wall, through which the little man immediately dropped to the floor, where he doubtless had a chance to recover from his astonishment and reflect on the reasons why another goocl plan had gone wrong. p- "t

The other day it slipped out of his pocket while at work' in his bre tst, and went down the chute with th-: coal. It was shoveled into a wagon, taken down a plane 135 yards long arrived at the foot of tho shaft, it was reloaded on tho cage and taken up 1,600 feet to the surface. Tbero it was turned into the breaker, through which it passed with several tons of coal. A slate picker found it. In tbe meantime Davy discovered his loss, and sent word to the top, and Mark Nagle, tho tele* graph operator, made search for it, ar

The story, as the paper mentioned tells it, is that while a deaf, dumb and blind bandorganist was sleeping on tho postoffice corner the wrctch stole his instrument and substituted a new-fangled ohurn therefor, and when the organist awoke ho seized the handles of tbe churn and ground away for dear life, and when "tito-shades of ni *ht were falling fast," that meanest ma:i in the world came around, took hi* c'.urn, restored the organ to its owner, and carricd borne four pounds of creamery butter ..Q p.

Hobleman aa Waiters.

A story is afloat to the effect that a foreign authoress who went to Deltnon-« ico's up-town restaurant to dine found fchafc the waiter who came forward to wait upon her was her own brother. The item was shown to tho manager at Delmonico's, and be was asked if there was any truth in it. Ho shook his head, and smiled. "Every now Mid then," he said, '"some story cf the kind is set afloat. Generally, however, it is about a waiter who is a nobleman." "Is it not a fact tbat occasionally you have ia nobleman among you?" "It is not at all unlikely. There are plenty of noblemen abroad who are very poor, and sometimes aro hard put to it lor a good meal. In suoh cases they often drop their, titles. If they come to this country, why should they not work at waiting as well as any other business Then thero are fast young noblemen who run through their means and emigrate. They have not been broaght up to any business they aro unooquainted with the ways of American life. But they know, about table service, and »job as waiter is the thing they are best fitted for. Noblomen are not scarce in the Old World. In Germany the title goes to all of the sons of a nobleman, ihavo no doubt there are noblemen jerking beer in tho Bowery. We have had noblemeu occasionally among our corps of waiters. There is nothing surprising in it. We see men —-mercnants, brokers, etc.—who make a great deal of money. They live fast, spend freely, aud make a big figure in tho world for a time," and then comes a smash, and they disappear. Perhaps we may afterwards bear of them working inamine or herding cattle on the plains. There nothing to surprise any onO in finding, that tho waiter who takes your order is a Baron or a Count." —New York Sun.

"Muscle." 'V'•

Dr. Hall's Journal of Health has some severe wortte against the gymnasium W ft means of cxerciso in our leading educational institutions. The objeotions, however, must be understood to lie against excess in exorciso, as well as the extremes .to which ball playing, boating, etc., are carricd, resulting in "athletic feebleness" instead of athletic strength.

Young men are frequently to be met with who seem to have an excessivo pride of muscular development tho great development, is confined, however, to an nndue enlargement of the muscles of the upper portions of the arms at the expense of the muscles of the chest and of tbe general health.

Tbe prominent physicians of cities have such patients frequently. They usually come to ask advico in regard to some unaccountablo lung trouble.

They point to their arms and ask how it is possible that a man can swing a dumb-bell Weighing fifty pounds and have weak lungs, with spitting of blood and other unfavorable symptoms.

It is the easiest thing in the world, and the most natural result of such violent exercise. This "athletic exercise" craze has come to be a national calamity. It is injuring some of the best young men in tho country. ...

Every gymnasium in tho country should be abolished .ttot tbat there are not some good features about them, but that the evil resulting from gymnastic exercise, as ordinarily practiced, does more harm than good. The professional gymnast is always short lived, the average term of such a life being less than six years.

Something Hew in tfavigation. .Recently a friend from Indiana tooK me to see a wonderful ship 01* steamboat on the Harlem river, big enough to get on it, which I did. It is called the buoyant propeller, and consists of a steamboat fifteen or twenty feet long, propelled on globes of air. As you draw near you see threo largo yellowish globes, made of sheet iron, revolving on an axlo like any other wheel. There are little flanges protruding from the globe, whicu are also paddle-wheols. An engine on the deck makes these two axles revolve, the front axle having only one globe wheel on it and the rear axle having two. As they revolve any leakago into the wheel is discharged at the axle. Consequently they can never fill. Tho inventor, a Mr. Fryer, formerly an engineer at Nashville, means to build a ship this winter for ocean service on this plan, somiwhere on the Hudson river, which will be 255 feet long, and have state room accommodations for 225 people. The present ship moves on globes only six feet in diameter, but the neiv ship is to be built on enormous globes. The theory is that such a vessel will make from twenty to forty miles an hour, and an arc being presented at every point, there will bo no slippage. I suppose the idea of this machine is taken from tbe spheres o-i which wo live that go through air quickly.—Gathin Cincinnati Enquirer.

I i"SD a Woman's Property Bights. By the statute laws of Now York the married woman owns all tho personal and real estate which sbo heltf at the time of marriage, or which may come to her by will or gift, or otherwise. She may dispose of it without the consent of her husband, and she has still a right of dower in the real estate of her husband. Sho may dispose of her properly by will she may sue and bo sued. Each Stato in this country has made laws on this subject, but they all resemble those of New York. In England some few modifications linvo been made since 1870, but substantially the law remains the same. On the Continent there is a different idea as to the rights of married women. In general, it may be said that the ancient Roman dotal system prevails, but a communion of property is allowed when this is agreed upon by marriage contract. Tn France, if nothing is said about which system is to obtain, tho law pro-, sumes that the parties adopt the communion of goods. All the property-thai husband and wifo bring into this communion is held by them jointly, and the husband has tho administration

thereof,

but neiCKer one nor the other

can dispose of real estate without the consent of both. rtm 3,fl

FIIZ JOHN PORTER.

Tjie friends of Fits John Porter are very mu4h elated at the frank avowal of Gen eral Grant tbat General Porter has been wronged and ought to be vindicated They expect to get a bill for Porter^ reinstatement through this Congress now without much difficulty. A prominent Republican said to-night that General Grant's change of opinion would

not

influence Senator Logan to re

verse bis judgment and favor a bill to reinstate Porter. He said that Logan may, cut of respect for GranK remain silent, but he will not vote for sucn a bill. Democrats generally give General Grant credit for an

pass,

change of opinion in

this matter. A leading democratic Senator said to-night that he

took

one

Irankly

his

stock in the theory that Grant WM manceavering to catch Democratic votes in favor of a bill for placing his own name on the Army retired list. He said he knew Grant to be a very can did man, and

ready lo make ack

THE NEW YORK SUN.

The Sun for 1882 will make its fifteenth annua revolution under the present management, shining, ss always, for all, big and little, mean and graclons, contented and nnhappy, Republican and Democratic, depraved and virtuous, Intelligent and obtuse. Tte San's light Is lor mankind and womankind of every sott but its genial warmth is for the good, while it pours hot discomfort on tho bUatering backs of the ptr •latently wicked.

The Bun of 1858 was a newspaper of anew kind. It discarded many of tbe forms, and a multitude of the superflcus words and phrases of ancient journalism. It undertook to report In a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event of human Interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute inoependecce. The success of this experiment was the success of It effected a permanent change In the style of American newspapers. Kvery important Journal established In ttis country in tbe dozen years past has been modeled after the Sun. Every important journal alrea iy existing baa been modified and bettered by the toree of The Sun's example.

The Sun of 1882 will be the same outspoken, trntk-telling, and interesting newspaper. By the liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords, wo shall make it better than ever before.

We shall print all the Jews, petting It into readable shape, and measuring its .mportance. not by tbe traditional yardstick, but by its real interest to tbe people. Distance

from

Honse Square Is not the first consideration wltn the Sun. Whenever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, whether It happens In Brooklyn or In Bokhara.

In poll lies we have decided opinions and are accnstomed to express them in languaae that can be understood. We say what we think ^about men and events That habit Is iheontr.crctse tbe Sun's political course

The Weekly Snn gathers into eight pages tbe best matter of the seven dally Isines. Au Agricultural Department of unequalled merit, fail market reports, and a liberal p.oportion of literary, scientific, and domestic intelligence complete tbe Weealy San, aud make it the best newspaper for the farmer's household that was veer printed.

Who does not know and read and like tho Sunday Sun, each number or whit is a Goloondaof interesting literature, with the best poetry of the day, prose, every lino worth reading, news, humor—matter enough to fill a goodsired book, and infinitely more varied and entertaining than any book, big or little
