A Lesson From the Grave. Mr Epiror:—Will you please insert the following article, frotn the Watchman and Reflector (Baptist), in your paper. Some may see and read, who would net otherwise; and its lesson is'equally applicable to those who passed the lies from mouth to mouth and to the journals which gave them wider publication through the late campaign. ' We sincerely believe that no man was ~more maligned with less cauvsei; that no man was more industrious and temperate in habit or greater in mental power, and with. these habits and powers labored more for the good of bis fellow men ; none more unselfish in it all and yet more misrepresented, or whose good works will live longer after Liim , even to the benefit ot his detractors, i'n'our century or nation, than Horace Greeley. Every day more and more comes to light of the greatness and goodness of the man. More and more will those who gave him thieir suffrages feel a just pride in the act and recite it to coming generations. _ Most of the journals of any standing in our country have been {ree, n)w that he is dead, to tell-the trutb, which,-for reasons best known to themselves, if known at all, » they could not hitherto. But thisis tardy Jjustice, or rather not justice at all. To “speak only good of the dead,” is justice neither to the dead nor to the living. o ; LIBERAL. '“A LESSON FROM THE GRAVE. | . [From the Watchman and Reflestor.] ! “‘Speak cn'y good of the dead’ is a maxim of heatben origin; but we doubt if the beathen ever infused the words with so bad a spirit as is put into them in our days. ‘That spint changes the words so that the maxim reads, ‘Speak good of the dead only.! That is, censure men while they live, hold up their deficiencies before the world, magnify their defects, misjudge their characters, wmisrepresent their con duct and words, snathematize and villify them while they are living; but when death has struck them,and the grave holds them, then forbear all false witness ampd groundless accusation, torbear even all harsh though honest blame, uncover for the admiration of t'# world their long forgotten virtues, extol their greatness of character and their purity of motive; ‘Speak oniy good of the dead.” Bat of what avail is this tardy praise? To whom can it atone? The dead need it not. They bear it not, or if they hear it they must shrink from sueb mockery. - “Buat men say that it is cowardly to berate the dead, and therefore one must needs speak well of thém ; but to censure the living is manly envugh, for the living can well take cire of themeelves. ‘The dead have two defenders strong enough for their need— God and the worm.”- Men had better reverse this matter. It were less cowardly and cruel so to do. .Withhold the base insinuation, the purpoged misrepresentation], the murderous lie until death has interposed his impenetran’e shield. Hurl them then against the headstone, There is no heart beneath or anywhere to bleed at such blows. There is no cruelty in this,” no cowardice—it. is ‘only foolishness. But tostrike the living with slanders, to malign, dishonor, and “discomfort a man who has sensibilities to quiver and writhe under such injustices, there is no cowaidice 8o base as this, and no crtelty so futal as this.. This is_the lesson of the hour. It speaks to the l_l"ing. frotm _the grave of the great. journalist, where rests a heart all forgetful of the un. just condemnations of the past, and all ignorant of, or uncaring for, the culogiums and tears of the present.” :

S The Meanest Man. e Some gentlemen were talking about meanness yesterday, when one gaid he knew a man on Lexipgton avenue who was the meanest in New York. “How: mean was that ¥’ asked a friend. ' : “Why’ heie 8o mean that he keeps a five cent piece with a string tied to it to give to beggars, and when their backs are turned he jerks it out of their pockets !” ‘ - “Why, this man is g 0 mean,” continued the gentleman, “that he gave his children ten cents apiece the night before the 4th of July, bat during the night when they were asleep, he went up stairs, took the money outof their elothes, and then whipped them in the morning for losing it!” - . “Does he do anything else I'* “Yes, the other day I dined with ‘him.and I noticed the poor little servant girl whistled gaily all the way up stairs with the desserts—and when d'iasked my generous friend what made her whistle so happily, he said, ‘Why, I keep her whistling so she can’t eat the raising out of the cake.”

Mrs. Partington awakes from a long slumber to say that she thinks this thing of shaking hands across the bloody sarcasm is all tomfoolery. / TSI § P -At Jefferson City, Missouri, the other day, a lady 'was divoreed and remarried in less than twelve minutes-

: Letter from California, & BaN Fraxcisco, CALIFORNIA, | _ : December 29th, 1872, %, Friexp J. B. Srorn, » Dear Sir :—The last sentence, I believe, I uttered to you before I left home, was a partial promise to give you some Notes by ‘the Way, for publication in the NATIONAL BANNER; so that my friends of Ligonier and vicinity might know of my whereabouts, and some of the things witnessed by me while enroute to this far famed city, compcqec&g it is of representatives from all nationg of the world, and from all ‘the States of this our own beloved country. I Jeft Ligonier on the sixth day of No vember and arrived at' this place on. the tenth .of Déecember; being thirty three days on the way and about 2620 miles from home. We tarried .three days at Omaba ; ®ight days at Cufrinne, Utabh ; nine days at Sweetland, Nevada county, Calif rnia; one day at Margsville, Youba county; two days in Sacramceoto; four days iz Stockton, and one in Leandre, eighteen miles east from San Francisco. The trip as & whole was a pleasant one. We cxperfenced bowever, a Huls incowve nience in Chicago in getting our baggage from'one depot to the other, on account’ of the dreadful horse disease which wus raging so fearfully just then; but we soon overcame this difficulty by the immediate; a_jpplicnt'ion of a good, big gresnback ‘blistering plaster to the aff-ctions (pockets) of "some stout Irishmen, who in a’ sbort time landed our baggage at the de pot of the Burlington route for Omaha. Here we would have gladly removed part of the plaster, but we could not persuade’ him that it would draw too hard or ininre his health. .

Heére we procured passage in the Pull man Palace Car and were almost as comfortable as.if we had been in our own easy chair at home. A fine dining car wusat-| taéiled before we arrived at Bur‘;ingtnn,ﬁ Towa, which offered us g nice epportunity to get a good squar: meal for 75 cents, and plenty of pne to eat it; the dining cmé ~remaiAnin%ached four hours, when it iy detached and remains until the train’ gui ing east comes along, when it is ayain attached and becomes the breakfast eur tni thit train; all of which is a splendid ar= rangement for travelers to supply 'tl‘)ci wants of the inner man. ,» The next day after leaving Chicago prrived in Owalia at 10:30 A, nr rather in the vicinity of that famed eity, I remaived three days, visiting my broth er, Philip Chapman, well known to sll the Stark county settlers of Ligonier. There I had a pleasant visit. - He is just as full of life as when young. He is farming on rather a big scale, and having about one bundred and twenty good, large, fat hogs to sell,be feels as tbough they would grease his pockets pretty well—aud when brother Phil's pocket is replenished he feels. ecod and makes all abont him feel as if they would always have plenty.

: : OM}HA. ; This city is sitvated .on ‘the western bank of the Missouri river, on a slope about fifty feet above high water mark, with an altitude of 966 feet. It is the present terminus of the Union Pacifie Rutlway. By the census of 1870 it con: tained 16,083 inhabitants, The State Ca?)} itol was at fiest located here, but was re, moved to Lincoln in' 1868: During the last year Omaha haé’ improved substan: tinlly, although real estate and rents bave declined. The government is here erecting a large post office building, using a very fine blue stone, and which, when it is completed, will be one of the finest ang most attractive buildings in the city. The Omaha Barracks, establiched in 1868, are eight in number,’ capable of accommodating 1,000 men. They are situated about three miles wnorth, bet ween brother Philip’s farm and the city and in tull view of the latter. The%‘e is an excellent wagon road to the “barracks” and the post commander has constructed = fine drive around thetn, which afforas pleasure ‘parties an excellent opportunity to witncse the dress parades of the “boys 1n bloe” Th}a gmuuds bave been planted with shade trees, and in a few years it will become ove of the many pleasant places around the city of Cmaba, The post is the main distributing point for all troops and stores destired for the western side of the “big muddy river.” . i On Monday, December 11th, I procured my ticket for San Francisco, which cost, first-class, one hundred dollars. After having my bsggage checked I asked fora berth in one of the Pullman Sleeping Cars, which cost, to Ogden, eight dollars in ad dition to the farc'already paid.; Buta good sleep on such a long journey is very refreshing and it was well worth the money. All things being ready and the time of “departure at hand, T hesrd a voice saying, “All aboard for the west,” and I concluad. ed that meant me; with others. so I took ‘ﬁ sedt: in,tlie car and on we went at railroad speed. The road from Omaha to the base of the Rocky mountains is the finest I ever traveled on; the cars were scarcely jostled on the entire route. T

The scenery for the first day was rather ’ monotonous—nothing but broad prairies extending all around us, such as we see in Illinois and lowa before reaching Nebraska. But when we came into the region | of the elk, deer, antc?ope, wolf and prairie dog, all was'intense excitement. We were ‘ favored with a ldok at all these inhabitants of these vast plains. As we approached the mountains the atmosphere grew quite chilly and fires were in.requisition. On the authority of our conductor, we caught sight of Pike’s Peak, and Long’s Peak wien'we were oue hundred and sev-enty-five miles distant. But for this information, by the time it required for us <o reach them, we should have supposed them not more than ten miles away. — While the plains and valleys are still -gresn, these mountain tops are covered with enow. When we reached Sherman (so named in honor of General Sherman, who is the tallest General in the service) the highest point on the Rocky Mountains, 8242 feet above the level of the sea and ‘which is 550 miles west of Omaba, we sre

in the midst of winter. Here the boys got ‘out and amused themselves withenowballing oneanother. Oun the western slope of the mountains the scenery is wild and grand beyond description. When we came down the Great Salt Lake Valley we were again in the midst of summer. The Saints wére gathering hay and the little orchards were lades with frait. - . At Ogden, which is the terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad and only forty miles from Salt Lake City,' we had our first view of the great Salt Lake, but we did not stop to see the city ; resé?iing; that pleasure for ovr homeward -bound trip. which will be, nothing preventing, snme time in April next, : - At Ogden we left the Union Pacific and entered the cars of the Central Pacific road, and riding on them twenty eight miles farther west we arrived at Corrinne. Here we stopped to visit' a sister, }ﬁ; Hatcher (formerly Mrs. Alman) with whom all my old Stark cowuty friends are well acquaiinted, and_after whose welfare she very anxiously inquired and said that she lorged tg see them all again in the flesh, Here I will remain for a while, and in my next will give you a description of the town and its surroundings. : : Yours most truly, ; : . @.

| A Good Suggestion, o " A valuable suggestion is made by the New York World, concerning the treatment which corporations which have a wholesale license ‘t.oqs\au'gh'ter Liumanity should receive. The World submits that the railroad and other corporations should be required-to give bonds to the State in the amount of the probable vaiue of human life which they will destroy, thus securing payment therefor in advance. It estimates the average value of human lives to the State aut $4 500 each, so t.lm:t:, assuming tbut & raiiroad transports 1,000,000 passengers epnually, and destroys 2.5 per thousand, the State should require a bond from the corpotation of'$ll,250;,000, renewable annvally, to cover this loss of life. It is believed' that when it is made cheaper for cnr[bnrminns, whiech have pockets, but no souls, to save life than destroy it the average duration of human life will be perceptibly ‘increased, and men will occagionally die in n serene old age. - ‘

Tug terrible accident on the Cross Cut railroad would Lave been much less horrible had the cars been heated by’some safer meana than the ordinary stoves in use for such purposes. It isalmost certain that/very few, if any, lives would have been lost, had pot the cars caught fire immediately on being wrecked. In view of thie great loss of life that bas been oc casioned by sirailar accidents, wé should think that some safe mode. of making passenger cnacbgsh comfortable in eld weather would be devised. b

THE Sapreme Court of Michigan has rendered a decision to the effect that “an Indiana Court cannot render a decree of divorcc between citizens of the State of Michigan without the consent of that ‘State.

It ecems right and proper that all County Assessors, under the new State ds sessment {aw, should appoint the recently’ elected fownship assessors s their ‘depu ties.” This stiould be the cuse especially. where the township assessors are capable persons. But if there be doubts as tothe fitness of these newly elected officials there should be no lhesitancy in filling their plm}es with competent people. The object of the new law is to obtain a full and fair sesessment, and every citizenand taxpayer is deeply Mmterested in having the new law carefully executed.— Zerre Haute Journal.

THE new Stateaw in regard to the assessment of personal property wiil certainly work advantageously in favor of:the tax duplicate. The entire assessment will be under the control of one man, and the responsible duty will rest upon him of geeing to it that the spirit dud intention of the law is fully and taithfully carried out. Under the old system a large amount of property escaped taxation, and the new law proposes to remedy this evil in a prompt and satisfactory manner.— Terre Hawte Journal. = .

Baffalo is suffering from an unigue and alarmiog calamity: The current of Niagara River has been turned backward into Lake Erie by a violent casterly ‘wind, and the pipes which supply waler from the river to the city are left high and dry.

. A YouNG man named Q@ill, of Gaines, Michigan, went to bed and dreamed thug a tree was falling toward him. In his frantic efforts to escape he jumped into the middle of the floor and thence through' a window over two tree tops, landing in the snow nine feet from the building and thirty feet from his bed. The window was badly smashed, but the young man wasn't hurt at all.

According to the new law passed by the Legislature the assessment of person’al: property will not be commenged until the Ist of April, 1873. Under the old law the assessors would bave begun listing property on and after the first of January coming. The new assessment law is very lengthy ana should recsive the carcful study and consideration of those who have to execute it. e
