Newspaper Page Textpee9 Oregon UUznax- SALSK, TUESDAY, DEC.3. THE WT1 EIJDCTHHI. Somebody, unknown, in the inter est of the 41ombston" candidate, issued an extra, yesterday addressed To tbe Voten 1 the City of Salem," which assumes one or two thing that we desire to notioe. It aaroaae, first, that the Independent or Tombstone ticket wm pot forth by those 'who bold that our city government can be more cheaply and wisely administered than it has been in the part." We wish to ask in this Connection, what reform they bare proposed ; what par ticular expenditure they have rewired to cut off; to what act of administra tive wisdom are their candidates pledged? what policy has been fore shadowed ? what are tbe voter to re ly on in case of their election 7 We ask these question' because no Indica tion has been given tlie public of the conise which tbey propose to pursue in case of tlieir election. At their City Convention nothing was rcwlved or said to indicate their policy. That matter has been, ever since, left to etch mans interpretation ; each man left to make what pledge? he would. So far as any public declaration is con cerned, the public Ls left in utter doubt of everything except the one fact that a lot of outs want to be ins. Second, the extra above referred to, says "the meetings of citizens at which the ticket here commended, was nom inated, adopted explicit, distinct reso lutions against the further continuance of Uif! eighteen hundred dollar water robbery." AVe attended their City Convention, and wc know that no such resolution was either adopted, of fered or mentioned. Nor was there any expression of tbe meeting, taken l: any way, on that or any other ques tion of city policy. If any such reso lution was adopted at any ward meet lug, this is the first public mention made of it. Why does not the extra contain such resolution if it were adopted? This statement is probably an afterthought of the Tombstone crowd, suggested by tbe pu I 'A Uhed resolution on the water ques tion, adopted by the Republican City Convention pledging its candidates to rescind the contract with tlie Water Company, if it should be fouud that it could be legally done. Whoever would do it upon any otlier terms i not only . not honest, but an 'unsafe man to be entrusted with tbe City Administra tion. If, by rescinding tbe contract by ordinance, tbe city should be com pelted to pay, finally, not only the sub sidy, but the costs of a suit, where will tbe economy and the retrenchment properly come in ? The safest man to elect Is be who win proceed in this or any other business, caretully.advisedly, and surely, not he who will rush madly Into measures at the risk of Involving the city in additional expense. Wc have do opinion to give on the legality of the Water contract ; we don't know whether It will hold tbe city or not. If tbe subsidy can be legally reduced, we think it ought to be reduced. It is too large. The Republican candidates are ' pledged to rescind the contract, if It can be done legally. Tbe public has had no authoritative information what tbe Tombstone candidates are in favor of. They skulked all questions in their City Convention, leaving each one to pledge himseli privately, In whatever direction he might see fit. Is it not evident that the safer candidates ar those nominated by the Kepublicai Convention ? OJfE C ATNB OF inUH FBEMiHTS. The San Francisco Alta has a recent. Commercial article, attributing ir. some part, tlie prevailing high freight. to the reprehensible practices or "crimps," sailor boarding houses, ant shipping masters. They manage to levy a tax on every vessel that conic into the port, of $300 to 400. When ever a vessel arrives to unload and load again, the crew is ta:npeded and taken charge of by the shipping Blasters, to whom the vessel must a ply for hands when ready to go tc sea. The Captain must then not only pay wages in abvnnce but a bonus of $H jier man or he can get no hands. 'Ibis bmus, ufw.srsc. is made back to tin: vessel by a higher rite for freight, ami the tax falls eventually on the farmers. The Alra estimates that his item alone increases the freight on wheat one-and-a-half cents per sack of one hundred and twenty nonnds. It comes out of the price laid the produ cer. This is only one ot the many menus adopted at the shipping ports, to live off t'.-.c Peered farmers. Tlie evil exists at Portland and Oregon formers hi common with those of Cal ifornia, arc compelled to pay not only this but other onerous, tribute to the harpies of the shipping ports. The only remedy, of course, Ties In a rigid enforcement ot the law pnnlshing de sertion by seamen, or ofi'ering induce ments to desert. WHAT 151 A SAHEt A correspondent of the Bulletin wants to know if "Portland-on-Wal latnct" Is the proper designation of tbe city of Portland. The query is ' called forth by a publication in the Oregonian, of an order Issued by tbe Judge of the U. 8. District Court (Deady) appointing Ilenry L. Hoyt "Shipping Commissioner for the Port ofrcrUand-on-WallAjnet." The Bull etin very sensibly criticizes tbe absurd affectation of the Judge in running his literary conceit Into bis official pa pers. It says : "There la no more au thority for calling it "Fortland-on-Wallaraet" than there would be far saying Bome-on-Tiber, Loodon-on Thames, New York-oo-Hudsoa-and East, Washington-on-Potomae, Xew Oleeas-on-MisaUslppl, or dncinnatl- oo-Ohlo." In which we concur with the Bulletin. It did well enough when tbe Judge used the ridiculous appela- tion in his newspaper or magazine correspondence ; it tickled bis fancy and did nobody any harm. Xobody else ever thought, however, ot adopt ing the awkward name, aud so be might have been forgiven tlie attempt upon our natural nomenclature, if ie had let it gone merely for a conceit, and had never attempted with judicial gravity to fasten tbe deformity upon an ltniccent people by writ under the great seal of the Court. It "Portlaml-on-Wallamet" is to be the recognize! designation of our commercial metro polis, theu we go for having "Oregoa City-in-lhe-Crack ;" "Kugeue-unile Sriencer-Butte ;" "Hniom-on-Prairic ;' "UaHes-ln-Canyou," etc., etc. While we go for tone let us have toue ; or, if quaint conceit, let us have quaint con ceit, all round, lint we Imagine tie vulgar herd will continuo many year yet, to speak ot our metropolis as sim ply "Portland." Tbe Democracy of Albany draw "party lines." In fialem, tbey hide themselves under the cover ol 'a Dolly Vardcn Independent Tombstone dLxgulsc, and hope to win by strategy wbat tbey could never nccvniplkh iu a iir, square contest. mrucm Acuznraai. Tbe transcendental style of speaking is not confined to the followers of Swe- denborx and the spiritualistic philoso phy; nor tbe bUklutln, to the imagina tive sophomore or the "gifted young orator" ot the West. We occasionally find one or tbe other, or both, staring broadly at us from between tbe lids of the most pretentious magazine. Tbe musical critics most affect it- Tbe poetic and literary reviewers are not altogether guiltless. But above all, Lord, defend as from the light, frothy, learned, senseless and (literarlly) betriz sied and hair-oiled young man who does np tbe current small talk for the magazines. With him, words are but so many little paper iellets, made es pecially tor bim to flip, flip, flip, in showers and without cessation, at all the world, for Its astonishment and his delectation. And lie is the most merciless dapper little flipper of wordy relit ts. He never began, for he was always flipping; he never ceases or fla"s, and he never will have made an end of it, till death, in mercy to the rest of mankind, flips hlin into eternal sleep and nothingness. Now liere 1 one of these dapper little flippers, flipping at us from the "Xebulne" of the Galaxy. The occasion for this intolerable shower of pellets wa.-; nothing, only that Luc ca, the Prima Donna, went to see some Indians. And this is a part only of what tlie nebulous lnagazlnlst had to s ty about it: But wm it not superfluous to offer the cup of vulgar exhilearation, in presence of tie higher and finer stimulus? Were not their simple aboriginal brains sufficiently turned already witn the wine-like etducnoe, tae heady sweetness, tbe purple glow and sparkle, which radiate from the strong na ture of the plucky little prima ? For in tbe last analysis temperament is kin;;. In tbe fundamental quality of man an man lies a certain hidden power, a certain mystic ia- talitv. In tne wua, native screngui ana freedom, the fresh, impulsive spontaniety of their natures, tho siniror and the savoire were peers, and may well have felt the shock of an electric sympathy, the vivifying con tact of kindred natures. But civilization, too, has its rights. Admitting, as we may, the orisjnal affinity of molecular cons4tu- UMi between tbe woman ana tne warrior, sull there is evolution. The fibres of the one and tbe other have learned to vibrate to very different chords; and when we comcto tluTfiner workings of the nerves and brain, the two products are polar, not parallel. T1w nlsnpanf a different tntltnre am sharti- ly denned; superimposed, not confluent. In the logic of contrasted civilizations, the cat egories are mutually exclusive, and there is m. terrible force of resistance in tbe obstinate self-content of a wider and simpler classifi cation. The hicher culture, thouzh axiomatic, is not intuitive; and in the scale of ideal re finement, the greater, though it includes the less, does not always dominate it. Weary with the wirest and inconsequence, the never-eivline-still-bt-srinnins' of science. or art, or thought, of protoplasm and nat ural selection, idealism and pre-Baphaelit-bm, of flsasi-al harmony and the music of tbe future, on glances witn a momentary in at the noble red man. calmly superior in the possession of life's simpler joy and interest, bis beads and red flannel, his squaw and wigwam, rum and pipe. O, fudge! But bow is that for high? THE FMPEITT ? Vatoa la ISTs Coawamr. Mr. Cbadwick, Secretary of State, furniabes the following summary of the assessment Bolls ot 1873, by coun ties: fihuHttM.

TBI HAS, HiniLr. Tbe Tombstone manifesto of Friday claims that the candidates oa tlie Tombstone ticket are peculiarly and par excellence tbe advocates of econ omy ; and it points particularly to A. J. Monroe as tbe "advocate ol honesty and economy in 'tbe present Council who voted against tbe heavy tax levy, and baa sought persistently to lop eft our useless expenditures." We are informed by unimpeachable testimony that A. J. Monroe is the member of tbe present Council who drew up, pre sented and urged the passage of tbe resolution through tbe Council, asking tbe Legislature to amend the Salem Qty Charter, ta enable the city to con tract a debt Ot 5,000 instead of f 1,000, as It was before limited. What was Mr. Monroe's object in procuring an enlargement of the debt limitation? In connection with that enlargement, bis efforts .from that time till now to get into the oHIee of Mayor, makes it pertinent to inquire what purpose had lie then, and what purpose now, i:i view. Tlie head ot the Tonibsloue ticket opeued tbe door to larger mdebt edn.iss ; be is not the man to be pi t up now as the representative of ecor only and the embodiment of reform.

The dispatches in form us that Horace Greeley died at Tarrytown, X. Y Friday, Nov. 29th. Bis death resulted no doubt from tbe nervous prostration consequent upon long vigils at the bedside of his wife, together with tbe ha musing anxieties of an exciting political campaign. We have thus lost the oldest of the great journalists of America perhaps the ablest of them all in many essential respects. He leaves but few survivors of tbe school of politicians and states men with whom he was associated in early and middle life, though perhaps no one of them sustained for so long a period as he, tbe strain of constant un interrupted mental and physical labor, For over thirty years Horace Greeley scarcely took rest from labor for a single day. With a mind capacitated to gather information of almost every sort, and for imparting it to others in the plainest and most practical way, it is not wonderful that lie has exerted over the minds ot his countrymen a greater influence at times than, per haps, any other man. But for some thing erratic in his mental organiza tion, his would have been tbe mind to mould the nation's. Even after mati ng and unmaking public opinion, he has left many marks upon the Ameri can mind tliat will endure forever, and no history of tho country would be complete that did not give his name a prominent, very prominent place in its pages. Horace Greeley was born at Am- berst, X. II. Feb. 11, 1311, and was therefore at his death in his G2d year. Through bis own writings he lias made tlie public familiar with the main facts of his life. He became a printer at the age of fifteen and a publisher at about twenty-two. He was connected first with (he X. Y. "Post," aud af terward between 1334 and 1841, with the '"Xew Yorker" and the "Log Cab in, 'between whiles writing temporarily for several other Whig papers. The Tribune was started inl&ll, as a small dally, and Horace Greeley was its edi tor and its intellectual genius. The Tribuue is bis principal monument, but few men have ever lived who had a prouder one. CIVII. SERVICE REFORM. It was only a few days since, we bad the news that a serious attack would be made in Congress upon tbe Civil Service Keform rules as practiced by the President. The President gave the attacking party, however, at once to understand that be acknowledged the obligations of the law as against political clamor, and that he should fight It out on tbe line of the Civil Ser vice Reform. It was an honest decla ration ; one that did honor to his in tegrity, and attracted to blm the sym pathies and support of all the best men of the country. Tbe N. Y. Times, the first Republican party organ of the United States, backs the President though it evidently thinks tbe contest will not be a serious or.prolonged one. Itays: "Our Washington dispatches speak of a possible attempt on the part of certain Congressmen to embar rass tbe President in tbe completion of Civil Service Reform. It is not im possible that such an attempt may be made, but we have no fear of the re sult. Indeed, the only persons who need fear are the Congressmen who engage in the scheme. Tbe Presi dent's plan is a perfectly sincere effort to accomplish a needed reform. Do tbe Congressmen referred to mean to deny tbe need of a reform, or to ques tion tbe method ? If the former, they will be easily met. If the latter, let them suggest some better method." Sir Hugh Rose it was who conveyed moral instruction aud proper ideas of subordination to the Sepoy mind by blowing from the cannon's mouth such beiioy rebels as the clianee of war brought to his camp in India. The invention was so happily in accordance with thu KnglUlt idea of huinar.itari anisro t!;at !jir Hugh Rose was at onix placed in the royal button-hole, so to speak, as a rare rose and flower of the arm', and called Lord Stnithnaini. It is reported, now, that he is to be made a field marshal. J This time he is a Scotchman, and he j rcccntty was only a poor laborer on the northern I'-iitic Railroad. The evlor of his Imir is not mentioned ; nor whether he has a wpiint in one eye, r a strawberry mark on his arm. But he is going immediately to Scotland, and if fie "windfall" is all tliat his fancy paints it, he will return to this coast and build him a love of a cottage with a 3Ian-ard roof, and will go a niilroiiding no more, at $2 a day. lie will probably become a director. An English paper says that a new religious sect has made its appearance in London, which the ungodly style tbe "Howling Repentants." They howl at all convenient periods during tlie day, and at two periods during the night. Their services are conducted in the open air, as they have, as yet, no recognized place of worship. The sectarians of thLs religion find the polite to be tbe most serious obstacle to their devotions. The Minneapolis Tribune says that a letter has been received there trom the -officers of tbe Northern' Pacific Railroad, stating that sufficient money to meet all liabilities of tlie company will be at band within thirty days. The grading of tbe road is completed to tbe Missouri river, and the laying of tbe track la In rapid progress. It Is said that Joaquin Miller lound inspiration enougu at Cincinnati fgr the wool and web of another poem. If It is as thin as the "Isles of tbe Amazon," we do not wonder that he should Had sufficient inspiration at Cincinnati, or anywhere else, for that matter. It is said the prospects ot a credita ble display of tlie industrial products of tills couuty at the Vienna Exposi tion are constantly improving. In the judgment of the Commissioners, tbe American Department will surpass in merit and interest that at Paris. It is said that Washington City has sent forth more young men into tbe ministry of tbe church than any other city of iU size in tbe United States. Then, really, Washington City has done itself great injustice. It ought to send out and get every one of three roans ministers back and see wliat can be done lor its own morals. .

Tlw Bombay Gazette has an interest ing account of a Hindoo widow's mar riage at Ahmedabnd. Many of our readers are aware that there exists in India a strong native " reform party " for tbe promotion of widow's marriage a mighty reform. Formerly tlie widow went to the pile with her hus band. When that was abolished by tbe stern hand of British law, the plan of "starving" instead of burning was adopted. The widow, young or old, is compelled (allowing for stealth) to wear a certain dress, to live in retire ment, to eat sparingly, and, in short, make herself as miserable as she can. Against this the "reform party" is wag ing war. The young woman to whom I am about to refer u named Jivokre, and bad charge of a girls' school at a military village in tbe Broach Collec torate, where be agreed privately to marry a young schoolmaster. The mother of tlie lady beard of the Infa mous attempt, and set watch and ward over her daughter. Tbe schoolmaster laid a plan of escape; be sent a palan quin to the village, and made a pretty story as to its object in connection with some chief. But the wile was discov ered; the villagers rose in virtuous in- aisnatioii, cnaseu tne Daianautn men away, and Jivokre was "closely shav ed, cruelly tortured," anil taken to an other village, where she was put under lock and chain. Tbe schoolmaster then annlied to the matristrate for now. er to release the girl from Illegal deten tion, ana eventually site was released. and two of her persecutors were com mitted tor trial, in tne meantime the widow she is eighteen years of age was marriea. quietly, tne report says, so as to clash with no native Dreludice. but by Brahmin priests and in tbe presence of a lase number of the re- tormed partv. The business, however. U tirnbablv f-ir from terminated. The widow, It is said, is heir to movab e property worth about $7,500, ami of this she is almost certain to He pltin (tercd. iliu priests, also, who per- i tortned the ccremonv are theatcned with excommunication.

Or it may be, on the other band, that be did ; that be calculated with diabolical cun ning on the profit his invention would bring to bimself and tbe meirrbers of ma ins guua. inere u a story of a thoughtful glazier who was in tbe hab it of hiring small boys to go before him and playfully break the windows on bis route, which he, presently ap pearing, would be called on to repair. It may be that Mansard's invention was the fruit of a like forecast; for, of course, it is obvious to the meanest in telligence that the more buildings are burnt down, tbe more there will be to Imt up, and so the more work for arch tects and builders. It this surmise be correct, M. Man sard's shrewdness cannot be too highly commended. As a business invest ment, his roof is a most eminent suc cess. For its real dangar is not in its combustibility, though in that respect it leaves nothing to be desired, so much as its universal adaptability, not to say indispensableness. Before it came we were happy barbarian, living iu shnpeless hovels of stone and mortar, tolerably tire-prooC to be sure, but wo fully lucking in sweetness and light. But though tlie lierd were contented with this groveling 'security, athetic souls still felt an aching void, an inde finable longing, which the plaster linals of Grace Church could not satis fy, and which even the chaste splen dors oi the 1 ltth Avenue Hotel wen; poweriess to pierich. The .Mansard roof appeared, and evervbodt' felt at once that it was the vcrv thing we had nil been waitintr and wishing tor a sort of architectural long-lost hrotlicr. ltwas seen at a glance to be like those books winch no gentleman's iiDrary snouici be without. Xo edifice of any sort seemed complete without it ; looked equally well on a model pigpen or a hie Insurance nalnce the fire insur ance people somehow affected it less ; ft wa as necessary to the elegance ol a entttcfl omee as'to tlie massive gran deur ol a county fiiil. And to-day, as evenr ap'hlu-ct knows, to a centle- mau's rMenee a Mansard roof is as lrolirw)iMy an adjunct as a mort 't. . .... j m-rein, as we nave saici, nes me terrib! power of M. Mansard's fatal invention. Chicago aud Boston have taught us tliat every Mansard roof we put np costs on an average about ton millions of dollars. It is, therefore, almost too expensive a luxury for the wealthiest city to indulge in freely, but tbe misfortune is tliat, like tne victim of the opium drug, we can no longer do without it. We liave become, so to speak, intoxi cated on Mansard root beyond hope of redemption ; it exerts over our archi tects the same awful fascination that the basilisk was fabled to possess. We know it is ruin, sooner or later, to any city that yields to its tyranny, yet we go on helplessly adding every day to onr chances of destruction. It is a shirt of Nesstis that M. Mansard has left us, one which, knowing its deadly character, we are still powerless to re ject. let, 11 we cannot entirety escape from the Mansard slavery, we may still take measures to lessen its perils. By constructing onr roofs of iron, for example, will not the architect satisfy both his conscience and the insurance companies? The most determined lover of sweetness and light would probably, on the whole, rather not be burnt up than otherwise, and. if Man sard roots are indispensable to our happiness, wby not study to make them as fireproof as possible ? They will be quite as handsome or as hide ous as they are now, and we shall not be forced to burn down a city every year by way of a practidal auto dafe in testimony of their inventor's greatness. X.

Ministerial remuneration in the ear ly days of tbe Great West was on the worldly basis of all other matters. As an illustration, there Is a case of Rev. Jacob Patch, years ago of northern muiana. ino purer, Hiinpier-mmueei man than be. Thoroughly educated in literary and theological colleges, un der New England influences, Tie soon adapted himself to his new work of aiding in Christalnizlng tbe West. After a few years residence in the land of prairie and forest, he began the building ot a bouse for himself. His view of paying for shingles might be new to Beecher, but was too true with our pioneer clergy. The good people near tbe Hog Creek school house (a true name)' having a shingle machine, and using its products for their legal currency, and desiring the services of Mr. P., contracted with him to have him deliver a certain number ot sermons, at tbe price of a bunch (1,000) shingles for a sermon. Tbe preaching and sermons were furnished, to the satisfaction of the contracting parties. In completing the house, half a bunch is required. In delivering his tarewell sermon, and speaking of their pleasant relations as pastor and peo ple, be alluded to their contract, and Sve an account which showed the lance of one halt bunch in their ia vor. uupaid for. "And now, my dear brothers and sisters," said he, "lam not owing you for enough shingles to come to a sermon, but, Providence permitting, I will come over to you at an early day and hold a prayer-meeting." And be did. Tlie currency tor cliange was satisfactory. POSTAX. AfTAISM.

The Commissioner of Indian affairs laving directed Hiperinteinlent Odeneal, to put the Modoc Indians upon the Klamath Reservation, peaceably ir possible, but forcibly if lie niiisf. he proceeded In person" to execute the order. All eflorts to ptir-uade them to agency proving fruitless ai l they having prematorilly refused to go. the matter of removing them was referred to the military. On the th a; noon. Major Jackson of Company I: 1 st Cav alry, with thirty-five men left for Klamath, and marching conUuiioit-lv all the afternoon and all night, arrived at the camp of the Modocs near tlie month of Lost Kiver. at seven o'clock the following morning. He at once surrounded the camp, and reiue-tei! an interview with the head men only one of whom, Soar-hiced Carley. ap peared. A half hour's conversation ensued in which the Indians were in formed that the soldiers did not conn; to fight, but to demand that they go upon the reservation and they were asstcvd that ample provision h.ii been made for their subsistence and that they should be protected in all their rights. They refused to ac cede to the demand and were then commanded to lay down their arms. While thev were ; parleying on the subject. Sear-faced Charley raised his gun and fired at Lieutenant Bontelle who was In froiifr of his men, but missed his aim. Instantly the Lieu tenant returned the lire" and killed Charley. This caused a general simul taneous fire on both sides. The battle wa? a desperate one. I lasting about two hour-. One soldier was killed and four wounded. Two citizens Wm. Nuss and Thurbar alias "Jack of Clubs," were killed. Fifteen Indians were killed ; nearly all the women and children, some of the war riors and a number of horses, were captured. The Indians then retreated to the hills, but in in the afternoon re turned to tho camp and commenced firing again. Three more Indians were killed, mauy wounded and some captured. At latest accounts firing at intervals was goinc on. The Indians engaged are estimated at ixty. There were some thirty more at a camp about fifteen miles distant. ft Is sunposea tliat. these would amve the following night and that another tight would take place. The citizens were arming and getting ready to go to the as6i3anoc of Major Jackson, should emergency require their servi ces. The .women captured say that among the number killed were the four desperate chiefs, Capt. Jack, Black Jim. The Doctor and Scar-faced Charley, who have been the cattle of all the Insubordination ot their follow ers, but about this, excepting the last one named, there is some doubt. Later.

FDITOKUL RF.WARHN ON UREE- Xew Yokk, Xov. 30 The Tiniea's editoral on Greeley's death says; "Greeley's lo sin journalism is one which cannot Iw replaced. The inci dents of his hut sickness were peculi arly distressing, and from all we can i learn his reverses during the late cam- ! paign cannot alone account for them, ; Had he been successful the probnbili- j lies are that he would not have lived, j so over-taxed was his strength, so tit-' lerly broken down seems to have be?n ! his constitution. The labors and ex-; citomeiit of tiie canvass were more :1: in his body or mind could bear. We shall not attempt at this moment to do j . u -tier to Greeley as a journalist ami ' as a piriilic man. Hishfe is apart of' the history of the country during the last thirty years, and tin; time. Las not , yet come when it can he impartially considered." It is certain that Give'ey's : name will al way? be honored in con nee- ' iiou with the -anti-slavery struggle, and with many imnortant tnta.-tires . whieli he lough!, for with remarkable valor, simply heeiiw he believed they were riiihr- Into these subjects we will nol now enter, for tiie country is scarcely rid of the din ami turmoil of a memorable and an nchappy past. Historian will do jnstioe to Greeley, and meanwhile his countrymen will be strangely forgetful if they tii.il to pay dite trihure to his memory. He lias been befi re them lor almost a genra tion, and lie has had tnrir confidence iu unuy trying periods ol our history Let. us now remember n"y his virtues am! his renins." The Tribune says : "The melan choly annoucemeut of tlx: death of tin; editor who founded the Tribune, though for a few days ic has been ex pected by his family and intimate friends, falls upon us all with the shock ot a sudden calamity. He fiad indeed reached a high old age, but time lad not laid its withering touch on him. His splendid constitution easily bore strain of enormous labor ; bis mind was as fresh, strong and suggestive as in the prime of life. His generous impulses were nnchilled by tlie dis heartening experiince through the trying campaign which has just closed. His physical vigor, bis tact, his intel lectual activity, surprised even those who knew him bet, and seemed to promise many years ot utfulness. It ls certain tliat no liiMorr of the critical period of our nati onul life can ever be written in which Horace reeley shall not be a conspiciotis figure. Ms only ambition was to alleviate human mis ery and leave the wC'risl a little better than he found it. That he had done this was a consolation that brightened bis last days and assured hiui unit he had not lived in vain. It is not for us in the first hour of our loss to saint his character or catalogue his virtue.. Although for several months we have misled the inspiration of his presence and guidance, has wise counsel, his spirit, which nev;r ceased 'to animate those clio-tn to com! in ue bis work, and the claspbonds of sympathy between the chief and his as-sitatits have never been broken. tV leave hia praise to the poor, whom he succored ; to the lowly, whom ne lifted up; to the slaves, whose bac'ts he saved from the lash ; to the oppressed, whose wrongs he maie his own ' Nashville.

Instances occur now and then whire a joke has been played, the tun oi which was to make a man pav for very mincer essary information. Vhen Col lins, the artist, was once with some friends, one of them resisted every attempt to induce him to stay to sup He withdrew, and tho friends in coun cil over their banquet resolved that the sulky guest should be punished. Ac cordingly, on the follow ing day Collins ent bun a folded sheet of foolscap in which was written : "After you lett, wo had stout and oysters." The receiver nndersitood what was meant, but he was efiTtaUr resolved to have his revenge. Acoorimgv, biding his time, he transmitted to Collins a letter in which tlie painter read only, "Had you?" Therewith the joke seemed at an end ; but Celling would have the last word. He waited and waited until the thinj was almost forgotten, and then tbe writer of tbe last query opened a letter one morning, in which he had the satisfaction of finding an answer to it in the words, "Yes we had." We cannot dismiss tlie subject with out expressing our regret that we are unable to remember die name of that British admiral who, atter acheiving glorious victory at sea, dispatched a Tetter to tlie Admiralty, in which there were only these or similar words : Beat the enemy ; took, sunk, burned and destroyed ships named in the margin."
