The Republican assassinado not propose to commit murder in the interest Of knavery. Garcelon'a nerve waa too mach for them.

It It not about time for United States Marshal Dudley, in behalf of tbe Republican party in Indiana, to get up another circular? He has probably found out by thia timeHow many negroes you have in your precincV. ., What ia the politics of your tchool-master. What about your telegraph operator. Is he sound on the "main" question? And now we would suggest to Mr. John C. New, the chairman of the Radical Sfate Central committee, to have Mr. United States Marshal Dudley get up another circular and have the questions run about as follows: Report number of darkies since last circular. , , . How many have died with diphtheria? How many with scarlet fever? How many negro children have been born, and died from exposure, as was the case on Ray street, Indianapoll, a few dayB ago, and reported in the Sentinel? Have any inten ta bten born in your precinct" with only a bit of a r? to wrap them In at birth, similar to the case reported In the 8entinel a few dajs ago? How many whit men have been forced out of employment in your precinct" to make vacancies for North Caro'.ina negroes? These questions must be answered in cipher. In tbe words of my last circular, I conclude: , "Please give this matter your Immediate attention, and talk with none about thin particular work. You know not who can b trusted. Let ts get this work done, the result accomplished,' and then we can eifely Ulk about it." DUDLEY AND THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. "Give me name and postofllce address and politics of schoolmasters in your precinct." Mease give thlä matter your immediate attention." The foregoing are extracts from the Dudley circular. And now, who is Dudley? Wby ia Dudley asking questions about the politics of school matarb? What the devil has Dudley to do with the public schools? Who authorized him to be sticking his official nose into the public schools of Indiana to 6mell out the politics of teachers? ; Who authorized him to Issue bis sneaking, stealthy, Paul Pry spy circular? Hayes? The chairman of the Republican Central committee or tbe United Statte Judge whose servant he is? Dudley is a United States marshal. Does he propose to arrest ichoolmastera who are Democrats, because they are Democrats? and Imprison them because they are Democrats? to intim idate them because they are Democrats? I? this fellow , Dudley in any way connected with the public school system of Indiana? We doubt if he has a decent education. Certainly he does not understand the proprieties of his office. He seems to be a meddler. Who pays him for his dirty work? .It is a new departure in partisan politics for a man who is simply clothed with catch 'em and hold 'em prerogatives, when some ' one else hies him on, to be inquiring about the politics of Indiana schoolmasters. It is a shame an. insult to the intelligence of the people of Icdiaua Djes this circularwriting and circular-circulating Dudley propose to so debauch the public schools of Indiana that ash teacher will b required to tell what his politics art. before he can go forward with his chosen life work? Does be propose iy using the public schools of Indiana to teach ' the imbecile Journal's nssty docfjine that "nobody's daughter! demand white husbands or nose, except those of ' Democrats," and to drive Democrats from the public tchools because they are opposed to the abominably filthy , doctrine of miscegenation? Why does Dad- ' ley want to be Informed what may be tbe politic of school teachers? What has he, or Judge Gresham, or acy other Republican connected with the United States court to do with auch matters? Does this fellow Dudley propose to use his rower of catch--'em ' and hold-'em to intimidats Democratic teachers? The corrupting, debauching thieving and lying leaders cf the Republican party have bludgeoned constitutions, violated laws, bayoneted Legislatures, robbed negroes; debauched courts, and left the im press of their devilish hoofs on every thing of good report; and now, do they propose to Inoculate the public ' schools of Indiana with the sickeclrg pus flowing from their ulcerous policy? It looks that wsy, for Dudley has sent out his circulars asking for" Information with regard to the politics of Indiana school matters. Democrats may will be on the alert In Indiana, for evidently a movement Is on foot to transform tbe public schools of the State into recruiting Station for the Republican party. Tbe fountains ot education are to be poisoned by Republican theories of Govt rnment, and what these theories- are wsy td learned, if any one will interview J. Madison Wells, the b'ga priest of Republican viL lain 7, who carries more perjury to the square neb. than any man on the face of the earth,

except John " Sherman.' To emphasize, this coBclasIon; we 1 notice that the feebleminded Journal, in its Sunday's itsue, attacks 'the public tchools and doubts if they are the "bulwarks of the Republic.'' Pulley la doubtless to be helped by, the feeble-minded Journal in his work of strengthening the Lul wark. Toe demand should be that Dadley should be required to mind his own business and attend to his catch 'em and bold hold 'em duties when his master hies him on. His inquiry as to tbe politics of Indiana schoolmasters is an impertinence and ao iD8Ult, but it discloses a purpie on the part of Republican fccallawags to debauch the public schools of the Stite and to degrade them lo the level of Republican recruiting station?.

TUE NORTH CAROLINA EXODCS. A Colored Preacher Drnounret It an Utter , Folly and iMauues. New York Evangelist. We have a costribuior wno writes "Under the Sycimore Tree." This new correspondent iä a colored preacher at tbe South a Presbyterian minuter in gocd standing who is highly respected, not only among bis own peop e, cut by bis white brethren. He waa a . member of the General Assembly which met at Saratoga Springs last May, and commanded the attention of that body when he spoke, not only by his natural tlcquence, but by what is much rarer and more important for one in his position of guide and teacher of his peopie, his sterling common sense. The knowledge of these facts will insure respect for wla: he here writes. As our readers will eee, he rt-gards tbe exodus of the negroes, at least from that part of the South in which he lives (North Can.lina), as utter folly and madness. This is the opinion, not of a polilicaa, but cf one who is himself a colored man and most deeply interested for tbe welfare of the rase to which he belongs. Ed Evan The North Carol iu a coiored exhibition aud exodus are the lateht aud leading ISoutheru sensations. The one, the flrst lair of the colored people of' tue old Nortü (State, was a ?:raud and most successlul exhibition of the reedmen'a iudustry, and of tutir material und rueutal Improvement since tüelr Ireeiloru. ISutthe North Carolina exodus is tne niol grievous and saddest ai.-piay of iuorance, lniiolecce aud improvidence. Tnis first auuual lair was a rurprlslug sacCtrxn to wbile mid colored, frieuus Had lo:-s. North and South. The white people in the 193 counties o! the Old North j'Ute. rallied to the colort d cause, and gave K-it tously to the good enterprise, and mux, ou the lirnixlest ncal, gave unmistakable proof by worts of what tney have so olteu paid in tbe plainest words, that they do not WRiit the coloitd people to leave the Bouth. '1 ht-y atsoderaonst inte to tbe world that the oid hue and cry cf ib-j war ot rares U a scarecrow and cunningly devised fable of desinninij rueu. Tne white people of this Htate boldly declare themselves to be Iriends of the coloied people. The leading papers cf this .St Ae, of all politics and creeds, say that tbe colo-ed people must and shall rise. 1 he Ka elgti olivet ver fcays " t he illustrations appearing In Fr-jplt I she's Weekly, purporting to give view Tf oar colored rair lately hela In Raleigh, ar llaicuious caricature. Tnece people are Lot legitimate objects of ridicule, and much less are their enUtavors toencourag-J iudustry among tbem-M-lves. and to raise themselvesln tbesealeof humanity. proper subjects of caricature. Very diderent indeed is the reeling of the white people here who wish tlu-m well, nnd who show In many ways that we desire their Buccetw, To fchow that our feeling was appreciated, we quote the ll!owlng from the Journal of Industry, published here, which Is the organ of tbose colored people who want to Improve the material wellure of their race." The R-tlelgh .News eays of tbe first lair of the colored people: "It has shown ttat the whites and blacks can live In this ilate on the mr st amicabl terms that. In fact, Instead of tbe colored people being claased as a mere servile race by the whites, they r Tsed tiom, white making au earnest endeavor to lilt themselves from the ignorance and idleness oi the Ave years succeeding the war, as friends and neighbors. They are gaining in industry, they are preparing homes tor themselves and bringing up their children to understand that by hard woik alone can they attain to tbe lugh position they dtsire and wbtn we say bard work, we mt an mental us well a manual. Therefore we say that the fair has been proODi'llve of great good, not only demons' rating tbe tact that the colored man Is a capable belog, bat also sbowlrg that the wi lts people ate both willing sod anxious to assist him in bis praise wortLy endeavor." In the face of these facts the North Carolina exodns Is a most miserab:e mystery. All forms of the exodns from the Southwest we have most vigorously Oeprecated as difficult, unwise and uaugerous, knowing that whatever the causes oi its origin might be, it was morally certain that running from place to place would never remedy the wrong, and that It would be so far from proving a successful remedy that It would be more likely to hinder and hurt tbe peace and progress of the colored people man to help them, and thus darken th tature of the race In tins country. The writer has no laith In any exodus but that led by Moses. This North Carolina exodns Is nothing but tramping instead of tolling, by the people who are the orones of the colored race, who find more pleasure iu Winuciing irom place to place than lu working Irom any to day, and who are ignorant of the fact that God has snld by tbe pen ofMoes aud I'au ,"ln the s treat of tny face thou khalt eat bread," and, "it any would not work, neither should be eat." Here the colored people have a good chance and good climate; aud yet some want to go to Inulma to freeza to death for want of c ot hing, food and work. Chrütlau friends, pray against tnis exodus. Incidents Descriptive of What Creatures That Avt by Jnatim-t Will Sometime Do. Portland (Me.) Transcript. A Crst rate cat story has come to our notice from an entirely authentic source. The scene is laid in the villsa of Yarmouth. An aged gentleman and his housekeeper constitute the family, and their god old cat finds the lines are fallen to her in pleasant places. Family prayers are tbe rule eaci eveniig in this household, and the cat fell into tue habit of regular and punctual attendance. No other of the cares that proverbially crowd a cat's life was ever allowed to interfere with this religions duty. At the signal for prayers she wouli even leave a mouss half caught, org. ven a doomed bird alopgirleaae of existence, and decorous ly comoofie herself in the lap of the housekeeper, with an air of sttentioa to the service that was highly edifying. At tbe final 'Amen" she went bris-kly about her bu9i. nees. But in an evil day there caoie a kitten that wai deemed superfluous, and sentence of death was parsed upon it. Tbe head of the family undertxik the execution of the sentence, and, unknown to him, the cat was a witness to the scene. From that day the cat refused to attend t. e mornirg service, and can not now be induced to listen to tbe prayers of one who had so shocked her sensibilities.

THE DEERFIELD FXJtMER.

Horatio Seymour's Advics to the Democr alio Party. i i - , r - - . i How a Victory May Be Won Against the Centralizing Tendencies f ' I Republicanism. i I i I (Special Correspondence of the New York i World , Utica, Jan. 7. Ai soon ta a itrangtr ventures to 8pet on the subject ot politics with a resident of this city he finds that the average Utican, without distinction of party, is proud of knowing that Utica contains one man who can be president of the United 8:ates if he will but speak one little word of consent. That man is Horatio 8eymour. He is a rare instance of a prophet who has honor 'in his own land, for there could not bo deeper veneration and affection for a man than that which his fellow-townsmen exhibit for him. There is probably no Re publican in Utica who doubts Mr. Seymour's ability to carry the Empire State aaa presidential nominee. There are few Republi cans in Oneida county who would refuse him their votes, and the Republicans do not hesitate to confess it frankly. To-night I sat in the large, square sitting room of the Seymour mansion in Whitesboro street, which once belonged to Governor Seymour's father, but is row occupied by Mr. John F. Seymour, and talked with the governor for the space of nearly two hours. The light of a blazing wood fire sparkled on brass andirons aod fender and lit up the curiously-carved antique wooden mantel-piece and old-fabioned mahogmy futaUur. Tbe substantial surroundings were in keeping with the man who aat baikii s in the firelight and illustrating out of h ia i ich store of experience the policies and politics of the last half century. As unpretentious as a child, and exhibiting always the courtesy of a Christian gentleman, he never speaks on patriotic themes without leaving with his auditor the impression that be has bten talking with the greatest of American statesmen. "I am out of politics and am enjoying the blessings of age," said the governor, "and I assure yon that age baa ifcj enjoyments as well as youth r.üt you are younger and can make ufe of what I hare said. You can give these rt flections to others as coming from yourself, not from rue." I looktd at Horatio Seymour wkh amazement, and yet the unassuming statesman uieact jast wht Le taid, and actually fancied ttiut another couid use his fire and ionlata his eloquence. No one wou'd have thought o'. calling the ep?akerold. Hiseyes glittered brifehtly in the firelight, his expressive features were aglow with intellectual power, his form waa erect and vigorous, and bis gestures pave indication ot an apjartn'ly inexhaustible reserve force of activity. It waa clearly a case of comfortable delusion. Tbe maa is as young ia appearacce and intellectual power as are niott men at 50, and no one who looksat him now wou'd give him a lease of less than 20 years additional of life. Bat it pleases him to fancy that he Is growlDg old, because in hü pleasant home ou the bills that overlook the Mohawk, amid his books, his antiqrntiesand the surroundings that speak of grt.t men of other days, and with the love and prayers of a countless troop of friends following bis steps, "the Deerfield farmer" (which is the title Govercor Seymour likts bet)hasenered eail upon tbe rich harvest that is the reward of unselfish patriotism. Governor Seymour is frank to say that he dots not believe in the modern method of communication between representative men and the public, known as "the interviewer." Us thinks the method has had is day. To use his own words: "It is hard to learn much by interviews. The moment a man finds that his words are to be put in print he becomes as obscure as a Delphic oracle, while in his ordinary converaatiou he says what he thinks in a clear wsy. You can usually learn more oi men from their friends tban from themselves, because their associates gather np the facts from a series of free and accidental talks." Your correspondent admitted that there was force in this positiou, but there were also the serious drawbacks that a man's friends might not fsel atlibrrty to make his talks with them public and that the people in general might not place any reliance on these utterances. The sovereign people usually like to go' to the fountain bead, and especially U this the case with regwd to statesmen who have bten their leaaers in great political contests. This was the position maintained by your correspondent In his conversation with Goverbor Seymour, and finally I said: "Governor, the Democratic party is looking to you, as one ot its old time leaders, for words of advice and encouragement. Its members wish you to speak to them, and the press proffers Itself ss the vehicle for reaching the universal public It is their desire, and you are not responsible for ic Tnroaph the World you will be able to reach the entire Damocratic party and gratify all your friends." To this view of the ca?e the governor as sented, with the understanding that he should speak once for ail througu the columns of the World. I am thus enabled to give the public a response to the World's questions on the leadirg topics of the times a response which contains the views of the foremost of living American statesmen. Governor Seymour spoke as follows: In looking over tbe political field it is evident that on the Republican side there are sharp controversies and much bitterness. The Republicans are in a far worse way than the Democrat?, so far as feuds are concerned. It is true that the divisions in the ranks of the latter are more open and conspicuous, bot they have reached a point where they admit of healing remedies. Hatreds and jealousies In the ranks of political organlzitionsare like erysipelas in the human sys tern half cared when brought to the surface. Concealed hate and feverish jealousy poison the blood of the Republican organizition. The party has no remedy forthi Hite of things. Its disease is internal and therefore dangerouj, perhaps deadly. If it could be brought to the surface It might be cured, but now it is festering inwardly, and with very bad symptoms. The poison has permeated the whole sjs'em, and there is no sige so skillful as to be able to prescribe successfully for a bidden distemper. ' On the other hand, there is one great advantage which the Democratic party poesei. It always comes up smiling after a defeat. Its vitality is wonderful It has outlived a dozen opposing organizations, and it has held to its ancient creeds while others have caught at every excitement or. novelty brought to the sarface by events In the country eipeciallv the Democracy have made their adherence to sound party principle a matter as personal as their religion though in a different way. It Is a matter on which tbey have permitted themselves to become enthusiastic You can not change

them. The hard fisted Democracy c'iag to their faith under defeats and trileand are withal imbued 1 with eentimental feelings never seen In th . cone'oruferate ranks ot their opponents. The Republicans fa 1 to pieces unless they can be kept at a welding heat by ,' passion and . excitement. If these can not "be kept np against their opponents the? break out in thtdr nwn mrikt.

r "tinder these citenmstances there is -very reason to nope ror the success of the Democratic ticket in the coming presidential election.. The Democratic vote in this State last all,' under tbe circumstances, waa a marvellous one. Toicy ruicd it amounts to a demonstration that the 'ate can be carried by the Democratic candidates, whoever they may be.. We have had our fiht and itis over. There are no feudi or jealontiea left to rankle inwardly. ''There is another element row coming to the surface which will tend strongly 1 3 increase this harmony. Ihe town meetings and elections are at hand. About 20,000 town officers are to be elected, and there is probably an avc rage of three candidates to an office. All these men are doing everything tbat lies in thJr power to unite th I arty and concentrate ita undivided stieakth on tne town elections. People in the country really care less about who shell be presi dent of the United States than who shall ba supervisor of their town or justice of tie peace or perhaps school commit sloner. Tbey iiiall vote for supervisor and will warn with unhid energy to secure the election of their party's candidate. This is especially true of the Democrats, mnch more sj, I think, than in tbe case of the Republicans Tbe old sores of the Democratic party, as I have sail, are on tfce surface, end therefore not only not dacgerocs but csn et slly be reached to be healed. Whatever healing process is necessary nill, no doubt, be com pleted by the spring elections. , "As to candidates on the Republican si Je, the men who have ppostd the presset administration appear to favor Grant, aud his strongest opponent now is Blsine. The fight is so sharp fiat it may end in bringing np a new man, as has happened before. The third term Is against Grant, and Blaine is too much of a Republican to suit Lit narty. The Republican j arty does not likeviVeat men in office, though it always praises them for their boldness in the fig .t. Morton, Cnand er, Blaine and men of thats'.atup were thrown over in 17, and the more malleable and less well-known man from Ohio was p:cked up and made president. Something of the kind is likelv to be done again. ' On the Democratic side there ia a readiness to take up any man who ein unite all factions. A? they are all anxious to harmonize. a way will be found to carry out their wishes. Outside of this State, Bayard. Thurman, Hendricks, English and others have been spoken of as presidential candidates, and eitaer of them, I should think, would prove acceptable. The Damocracy can not go astray in making their selection. The man' whom they will nominate has every prcepect of success. The controversies in the Democratic party In New York are mu3h lees daogerous tban thf y seem to be. Tuere are great and enduring reasons why this State should uphel 1 tbe Democratic party and its principles, iu the first place there is here much leu of sectional feelißg than elsewhere. Our busi ness men, merchants and manufacturers are constantly brought into contact with the people of the South in the course of their transactions, whereby they learn Hhe dim cutties under which they labor and their deSire net only to promote tbeir own inter b?3, but in so doing the interests of the country at large. This intercourse baa much more Influence than congressional debates or the appeals in our journals to political prejudice. The same thing is also feit to a degree in religious and other organizations. The war upon the South has been over acted. It has been carried so far that now there is a reaction, and this can cot fall to benefit the Damocratio party, which is the party of en lightened conversatlsm. There are other and stronger reasons why New York must be Democratic Its commercial position demands tht it shall oppose the centralizing policy of the Republi can party. That policy is destructive of the interests and welfare of the State. With its great wealth and population, it has the least relative representation in the Senate of the U nited fet&tes of any State in the Union. and all questions of centralization will al ways be most hurtful to those who have the leatt representative powjr and the most weslthto be taxed. The Senate has grad ually absorbed political power. It is filled with men of large experiences growing out of tne tenure of their offices. They are Usually sslected after they have had a training in State Legislatures or the House of Representatives. The members control vast numbers of appointments under the general Government. When a question comes on between this State and Its rivals we stand no fair cbance of justice. "Take, for example, the struggle between New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti more for the transportation from the West Those cities are struggling to take away from New kork what it once had. If, as is now proposed, the question should be re ferred to Congress, New iork will have but two senators in tbe Senate, while the States in which its combined rivals are situated will have 16 that is, tbe New England States have 12 senators and Pennsylvania and Maryland two each. It Is clear enaugh what the end would be. This is on'y one of many vital questions which tha general Government will decide unless its centralizing tendencies are checked. No one can study tbe interests ot th's State and fail to eee that its only hope lies in the success of the principles cf the Democratic party. If the Republicans are to govern the country and to carry oat all their schemes they will check if not destroy the commercial ascendancy of this State. Whatever may be the prejudices of tie business men now, tbey will soon be forced : to see that they must uphold the Democratic party. "There is danger even now that tbe com merce of tbe Erie canal will be broken down and its works abandoned. If this happens New York City and this State will lose the last channel which tbey control. Yet it would cost cs less to kep it up and make it free from tolls tban we are now taxed by the general Government to aid other routes and projects in other Statt s. many of which are designed to turn commerce away from us. "Whoever will study the interests of New York can net fall to see that it mast be a Democratic State despite the follies or errors of the leading men of that party." An Old Poker story Keloid. IMobUe (Ala.) Register. On one of those steamers that plowed the waters of the Mississippi in -days gone by a quiet party was deeply immersed one evening in the mysteries of .that somewhat nocertain game called poker. 0;ia of the party, a colonel or judge or major butory does not record which in a fit ot abstraction t?ok the four aces from the pack with which tbe game was being played and laid tbem on his knee. The game progressed, and the colonel almost "raised" his antagonists out' of tbeir boots. ' When the "draw" came be threw away his legitimate five cards, called for one, and reached tor the four aces on bis knee. They were gone! U sing, he cried in tones of virtuous indignation, "Untlemen, ibis thing has gone far enough. There's cheating going on around this table!"

The Romance In the Life of the Great j Romanclst Sir Walter Hrott. , Onoe a Week. It is an old saying. ""Whom first we love we never wed," and this, though not strictly true, may be applied to Scott, Byron, George Washington and many other men of note. It is interesting to observe how poets generally present their love matters to the public. The personal experience of such men 'will ctvp out. Scott, for instance, fell deeply inlove in early life with a girl of aristocratic family, and as he was then merely a poor barrister, there was no prospect of success. His father, knowing this, and being desirous to bring the matter to a close, suggested to the parents the propriety of terminating the acquaintance, and this was done in tbe least painful ' manner. The lady was the only daughter of Sir John Stuart, of Forfarshire, and she afterward married Sir William

Forbes, the noted. Edinburgh banker. As Scott was a well educated young man, of fine personal appearance and agreeable manners, there could be out little reason for giving the banker preference, except his wealth and social rank. Scott felt this keenly through life; in Rokeby" he revives the episode at some length. .Matilda, the heroine of the poem, represents the object of his love who there rejects a poet in favor of one of higher rank, and this scene becomes doubtly interesting as a picture of Scott's early experience. In 1811 Lady Forbes died; but ehe lived long enough to see the onoe penniless barrister the first poet in Scotland. Her death was deeply felt by Scott, for, although he had been married for 12 years, the old flame was not extinguished. "Kokeby" appeared next year, and Lockhart says "that there is nothing wrought out, in all Scott's prose, mora exquisite than the contrast between the rivals for thehandof the heroine." Six years afterward Scott wrote thus to Mis Edgeworth: "Matilda was attempted for the pereon of a lady who ia now no more, so that I am flattered with your distinguishing it." As this took place nearly 20 years after the disappointment, it illustrates the tenacity with which the author held to his first love. When Lady Forbes died Scott was so affected that be called on her mother, and both fell to weeping over tbe sad affair. It is a curious incident in domestic history to nee a man carrying his first love so tenderly through life w bile married to another woman to whom he always showed great attachment. Scott evidently made Matilda the ideal or dream-wife who accompanied him to tbe last. Having recovered from the worst effects of his disappointment, he met a French girl, whose father had saved both life and fortune by fleeing from the dangers of the Revolution. At the time referred to Miss Carpentier (or Carpenter) was an orphan, and to her Scott transferred his affection', so far as this was possible. He appeared, as ha been said, much attached to his wife through life, and sincerely mourred her death. She was, however, intellectually and physically, inferior to the Scottish ladies of that city, and the rapid degeneracy of the family may, in some degree, be ascribed to so unfavorable a union.

The Kirat Attack on an American Prailent. It may interest l're-id.-nt Hayes to read Mr. James Parton's account of the attack made by Lieutenant Randolph on President Jackson in 1R3:: "On the 6th day of May, the president aocompaniod by niciuV'rs of bi cabinet, and by 31 aj or Donalds i, left the capital in a steamboat for Frederiek.-luri, Va, where he was to lay the corner stone of that monument' to the mother of Washington which is still unfinished. At Alexandria, where the steamer touched there came on board a Mr. Randolph, late a lieutenant in the navj-, who had been cently dismissed the service. Randolph made his way to the cabin, where he found the president sitting behind a table reading a newspaper. He approaehed the table as if to salute tbe president. Excuse me rising sir,' . said the general, who was not acquainted with Randolph, '1 have a pain in my side which makes it distressing forme to rise.' "Randolph made no reply to the courteous apology, but appeared to be trying to take off hia glove. "Never mind your glove, sir, said the general holding out his band. At this time Randolph thrust his Land violently into the president's lace, intending as it appeared, to pull his nose. The captain ' of the boat, who was standing by, instantly seized Randolph and drew him back. A violent scuffle ensued, during which the table was broken. The iriends of Randolph clutched him and hurri-d him ashore before many of the passengers knew what had occured, and thus he vfletled his escape. The assengers soon crowded into the cabin to earn if the general waa hurt. " 'Had I known,' he said, "that it was Randolph who stood before me I should have been prepared for him, and I could have defended myself. No villain,' said he, hasever escaped me before, and be would not had it not been for ray confined situation.' "Some blood was seen on his face, and he was asked whether he had leen injured. ' "No,' said he, 'I am not much hurt; but in endeavoring to rise I have wounded mv side, which now pains me more than it did.' One of the citizens of Alexandria, who had heard of the outrage, addressed the general and said: 'Sir if vou will pardon me in case I am tried and convicted, I will kill Randolph for this insult to you in 15 minutes.' -,No, sir,' said the president, 'I can not do that. I want no man to stand between me and my assailants, and none to take revenge on my account. Had I b-en prepared for this cowardly villain s approach, I can assure vou all that he would never have the temer ity to undertake stub a tiling again." 'Randolph published statements inthe news paper of the rings' which he said he had ceived at the hands of the Government. The opposition papers, though condemning the outrage, did not fail to remind the president of certain passages in his own life which sanctioned a resort to violence. Randolph, I believe, w as not prosecuted fo? the assault, nis friends said that his object was merely to pull the presidential nose, which, thoy fur ther declared, de did." A Heading Lesson. Faanie Heath, in Macmillan'i Magaxinad At an inspection I was at last spring in the neighborhood of London, a large class ot boys and girls were to rend to the inspector's ass-istant. A boy began:- "The po-ta-to in ffa nafivd es?l A marina ia small nnrl n-tf fit to be eaten." "Oh, stopl try again," said the teacher, jokingly. 'I thought you were go a lac? iiiihi v .

I glanced down the whole class and saw that not one of the faces showed that the children knew what was meant when he was again told he was wrong. However, the assistant, who was evidently . an experienced teacher, aoon brought them . , , , A . , 1, to unaeroana, ana men tney were an amused. But every child must have read . that lesson some dozen times. The faci of one boy making such a mistake was not to be wondered at; he migbt have been sbv or stupid; but that not one of the children could discover the mistake was somewhat startling.
