: For the Ligonier Banuer. A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER. : _ BY ELLA F. JOHNSON. ; Mother, the words of truth and right, Which to me you have given, . Will lead me in God’s holy path, ' Will guide me home to heaven. My mother, oh, thy gentle love, . How tender and how true, : Like softly, falling summer showers, Like early morning dew, - In childbood’s hour, in girlhood’s morn, . In sickness and in tears; -~ To sympathize and comfort me, In all my glowing fears, : : Thou, mother, hast a true friend been, And many’a burden borne; - And many a cloud ot grief for me, * Thy gentle face hath worn, - What tribute can I bring to thee ? What word so fond and true? All love, affection, tenderness, ] Most surely art thy due. : And may the loving Father give = Many a blessing rare; g i And may tby life on earth be bright, » Thy path to heaven most fair. =~

Carl Schurz has told a Cincinnati Cominercial correspondent that he believes the Liberal movement ¢ould have been made succeseful by nominating Adams. We have been, and still are, of the belief that either Davis or Trumbull could have been elected, for we think the contest hinged on the vote in Indiana and Ohio at the Octo~ ‘ber election, and we entertain no doubt that either of the gentlemen named could have carried both these States. ‘This would have given the movement the prestige of success and made the way clear for triomph in November, but we have nothing to regret for we also believe that the nomination of Greeley was prolific of good results for the country and we are proud of the humble part we took in advocacy of his election. The campaign lifted politics from the narrow ruts of extreme partisanship and liberalized a vast mass of voters who must, from common sympathy, fuse into one solid mass and ultimately become the controlling force in the politics of the country.— They represent the vital principles of aRepublican torm of government and their true principles are synonymous with the moral teachings of the whole christian world. If the civilized world has made -the discovery of what is right in man’s dealings with his fellowman, the Liberal party has that discovery for the basis of its party principles, and as sure as right prevails so sure will Liberalism succeed. .

'l‘h_é idea of electing our Presidents by direct vote of the people is daily gaining favor with the thoughtful l mindg of the country, aud the peculiar ! circumstances resulting from the death of Greeley previous to the casting of the electorial vote has given the matter additional importance. In one of the States which elected the Greeley | & Brown ticket one of the electors absolutely refused to cast” his vote for Brown, uuder any circnmstances.— Now let us suppose that the result of this election ' hinged on one electoral vote. The act of this elector would then have virtually thwarted the will of a majority of the pedple of the United States. The man was elected with the perfect understanding that his vote was to be given for Mr. Brown for Vice President, but when that vote' was cast, it was 80 given as to practically disfranchise the two or three hundred thousand voters who looked to that voté as their representative, So long as there is treachery in the nature of man just so long it will be unsafe for men to place implicit confidence in an elector, and it will always be more satistactory to the voter give to his ballot directly for the man he desires to see in the Presidential and Vice Presidential positions, There is a contemplated constitutional amendment for the accomplishment of this end, but it is doubtful about its passage at thistime. Ultimately we believe it will be adopted and will prove more satisfactory than the present style of electing our chief rulers. :

The Santo Domingo project, which wany Radical gudgeons have supposed was too dead to ever kick again, is still vigorous, and is about to turn up in a new garb but with practically the same old hideously deformed anatomy. This time it comes in the form of a schieme of several New York speculators, whe report thas they have purthased, of the mongrel, saddle-colored Baez, certain territory, including Samana bay. : Possibly this may all be true and it may be well enough, for we suppose that any American has an undoubted- right to purchase property wheresoever he chooses, but it looks very like a nice little i;ra.p to involve the United States in a war for the protection of specalative citizens, and then the upshot woald be the annexation of the island as a compensation of indemnity, This plan might work admirably and the poor party dupes would never see to what base uses they had unconsciously lent their aid. :

. The President has decided to pardon nearly all of the Ku-Klux prison~ ers now confined in Northern penitentiaries. Better late than never, b}xt‘ without doubt nearly all these victims should have been pardoned long before g el :

A bill wae recently introduced in the Legislature li-eqnir‘i‘ng all persons who gualify for any office of trust or profit to also subseribe to a?x oath to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors during their official term. The pevalty attached to getting boozy is forfeiture of the office held. Such a law might do some good but we think a little better discrimination in the: selection of officers would be better for all. A man who getsdrunk-onght not to be elected to a responsible office for the man who habitually muddles his brain with liquor is often “unfit to do any bueiness whatever. s

~ Political affairs in France are in a very unsettled condition and there is a probability of another civil war in that ‘unbappy country. Since Provisional Pre-idént Thiers announced himself in favor of a Republican form of government the monarchisis in the Assembly have taken strong gronnds against his administration, and he is kaown to be too conservative to suit the Radical Républicans. Between the two factions M. Thiers is likely to fall and the resnlt cannot be foretold with any probable accuracy. We should not be surprised to see Louis Napoleon again on the French throne in less than a year'’s time. Ome thing appears pretty certain; the French people are not yet fully prepared to successfully maintain a Republic. e

On all sides steps are being taken to ‘build monuments to commemorate the name, fame and great virtues of Horace Greeley, The propogition coming from Baston is the best, and that is to join all such organizations together in one national association and build a monument costing $500.000. <We ghould like to see the project carried out, or what would suit us better, would be a monument built exclusively i)y printers and newspaper men.— Horace Greeley has a strong hold on the affections aud admiration of. this class of men, and a small contribution from each would rear a monument which would stand forever as a landmark expressive -of their admiration for genius as well as the generous and just sentiment of the craft, = '

¥How an Indian Played it, ‘ A tribe of Indians in Western Califoriiia who are said to be better than Lge average of Los, have caught milleninm fever, and are preparing tor the removal of the entire community to the gpiritual hunting ' ground. The circamstance shows that' ludians, like their Caucasian neighbors, know how gome times to turn. indiseretions aud | misfortunes to 4 good .account aund | make them pay in more ways t.h.:m‘ ene. This tribe of the Hoopah Valley contained one member called “Jim,” ‘ for_short, who, having taken a liking to the house-breaking business, was gent to serve a term of five years iu,‘ the San Quentin prison. The tfi'ibe‘ having lost gight of “Jim’ gave him up as having made a dinner for some grizzley, and_ therefore 'dead. Bat “Jim” was finally let 6ut, . He returned -to his tribe, was received as one from the spirit-land, and this super: stitious beliet the sharp Indian at once utilized and had no trouble in confirm - ing the impression, He told them he had been dead, and had been indualging in all the luxuries of the spirit land, and more than this, he had been ordered to return with these delightful messages to his people ; ‘that all their departed friends were shortly to ap-. pear again in the body; that the whites were immediately to be turned into stone, and all their possessions left for Indian delectation. Consequently. the prophet *“Jim” observed that they needn’t make any further provision for the future. All these picturesque announcements the Indians implicitly believed, and three montbs ago they stopped all their labors, began to eat up everything they had stored, and to gpend their time in religious dances, and things of that sort. The prophet declared that in a month the spirit would arrive, and for four weeks’ hls followers joyfully kept up their sacred polkas and the killing of their devoted ehickens. At the end of that time the disembodied not having appeared, he remarked that it was the barking of | the dogs which delayed that blessed consummation ; wherenpon all the dogs “of the tribe were -given over to dire ‘murder. Still another “moon” went its way with the prophecy unfulfilled, and this time the crowing and cack‘ling of the chickens was said by the gpiritual “Jim” to be the cause of the failare. Theremaining cacklers of the tribe were instantly put to death. The _ginging and the dancing continued, but .the faith of the dancers began to waver, and they manifested an intention of -malevolently entreating . the prophet if, at the close of the third month, the millennium was still afar off. By this time that precious person is undoubtedly exhibiting his. glowing genius in gome other sphere %ha‘n that of the Hoopah Valley. . -

. Interest, i Sometimes men lend morney without having the fear of foolish usury laws before their eyes. They occasionally get as high as two ner cent per month, Now whenevet there is a lender there is also a borrower. We simply sub: mit for the consideration of both parties, this fact, as a mode of realizing a fortune, viz : Take one dollar, put it at interest at two per cent per month, and compound the interest, and at the end of one hundred years it will amount to the respectable little “pile” of two thousand five hundred and fifty~one millions seven hundred and ninety-nine thousand four handred and four dollars. You may let it stand two hundred years. it you like; then it will be more, Try it once.

- What it Cost Horace Greeley to Sign | Jefll Davis’ Bail Bond, | ~ [From the Hartford Conrant.] : ii “The American Confliet,”” written ‘by Horace Greeley, was published in _this city by ‘O, D. Case & Co., who were compelled, afiér the first 'valume was in type, to keep presses running uight and day to supply the demands of agents. No book previously pub . lithed bad met with such a rapid sale, excepting, perhaps, Mrs, Stowe’s famous novel. Nearly, if not quite, two hundred and fifty thousand copies of the first volume were disposed of, and the sale was still going on successfully when the second volume appeared.. The publishers were justified in supposingthat the second would have as extensive a sale as the first volume, as' every gne who had purchased the book for its historical value wonld surely get the complete thing. When the sale of the second volume had reached | some 60,000 or 70,000 copies, and lightning presses were rushing it off by huundreds every day to meet the urgent call of agents in the field, Mr. Greeley signed the bail bond of Jeff. Daviy,. and from that time the sale virtually ’ ceased. . g

That stroke of his pen, cut . off thousands of dollars from the profits of the publishers who had depended upon the sale of the first valume to cover éxpeuses, and expected their reward out of the gale of the second, and it took also a good deal of money out of Mr. Greeley’s pocket. Tn a letter of Mr. Greeley made public since his death. he alluded to two notable things in his life, first, that he threw . away the Unpited = States Senatorship when b¢ published an arficle in the Tribune, following close upon the end of the war, in favor of universal _amnesty, ahd, second, he threw away a fortuns when he signed the bond for the release of Jefferson Davis, Undoubtedly the last statement has reference to the sale of “T'he American Couflict,” and that he did sacrifice a fostune, or a good part of ove, is evident from the fact that so-far as the sale extended he was paid by the publishers $50,000, Qut of this probably it did notcost him over five thousand dollars for the work of assistants, =0 that he cleared a handsome sum, but it is supposed that he saved only a very little of it, ad he was constantly giving, giving, giving —and very many times to people who imposed upon his credulity. The book now is sold to some extent, netting to Mr. Greeley before he died~enly about $175 a year, however. It never recovered th> fatel blow it got when the autograph of the great philosopher helped to releage the autocrat of the great rebellion. i :

A Changeable Heart. i Everyone is said to possess oné but this ‘man " has literally a- changeble heart. Sickly sentiment has nothing to do with it.. And he has, besides, geveral other unstable internal arrangemeuts. -He' is< a Brazilian, George Thomas by name, atl -is..exhibiting himself in New York previous to leav ing the country, He can move, his heart to any part of the body at pleas™ ure; and even stop its beating for nearly sixty seconds. IHe has two sets of ribs, one of which he' ean move trom its position to the front of the body, covering the abdomen: He-causes a revolving motion of the bowels, both upward and downward, the,abdomen undulating and resembling the corrugating motions of a flag or piece of cloth when disturbed by the wind — He can so arrest his.pulse that for a short time one can not discern chat he has any. Another wonderful thing he does is to bend an iron bar five eights of an inch in thickness by striking it across his left arm. The muscles of his arm he 8o contracts that the flesh teels as hard as wood. .’%e is fifty-two years old. His father was an Ethiopian and hiz mother a Spanish woman. When foar years old he was taken to London, England, and from there to Edinburgh, Scotland, where an‘incision was made near the heart, which showed that he had no: diaphragm, and that the heart was not inclosed in a pericardinm, but is suspended by two cords instead of one. gnme years afterward he was given a like examination in_Paris by Suargeon Louis with the same result. None of the scientific ‘men of Euerope understood his stracture, and they advised him to come to ‘America which he' did in 1863. ' But no one here had before scen such a creature, nor could understand his organization. - He has a brother who is six feet three inches tall. There was nothing remarkable about their mother, but their father was apparently destitute of ribs. Tt '

Rattlesnakes. — An Indians’ Revenge The Richmond County (Wis.) Independent tells a curious story, which it asserts as fact, to the following effect: An Indian trapper and hunter had been operating in one of the northern towns of that county,:and near his camp lived a farmer. The Indian had” a box filled with rattlesnakes, covered over with glass. Last August the Indian came to the farmers house one day intoxicated, and asked the farmer to give him a tertaia sheep that he was preparing for exhibition at the county 'fair, saying that-he was hungry. ‘This the farmer refuzed, but offered him a hen if he would shoot it. The Indian declatred he would have the sheep, and fired at it but missed it The farmer then set his dog on the In: dian and drove him away. A few nights since, the farmer was awakened from his sleep by something cold erawling over him, and, seizipg the object, e hurled it acrops the room. He was horrified to hear the noise of rattles in ‘every diréction. Telling his wife to lie quiet for her life, he raised up, tarned up the light,. 'when he saw a huge rattlesnake coiled up at the foot of the bed ready for a spring. Seizing his revolver, he fired, and shot off his head. The noise of the pistol aroused ‘the hired man, who hastened to the room, and, before reaching it (the door ~was open), killed two rattlesnakes. ‘T'wo more were killed in the bed room, bzfl was the Indian’s box." It is supposed he entered the open window and ~emptied the snakes out on the bed.
