Some one, who had noticed the influence of wives in promoting the good or evil fortunes 01 their hus bands, said: "A man mnst ask his wife's leave to be rich.' "We doubt not that in similar observation of the i influence of mothers upon their sons would justify the remark: "A man must ask his mother's leave to be reat." Years ago, a family of four -a father, a mother, and two sons, dwelt in a small honse situated in the roughest locality of the rocky town of AshforiL Connecticut. The lamuy was very poor. a. lew acres or stony land, a dozen sheep and one; cow " supported them. The sheep j clothed them, and the cow gave milk 1 UiU U1U null. UL U 111 IlUbl in and harrowing Corn bread milk and bean porridge was their fare. The father being laid aside by ill health, the burden of supporting the family rested on the mother. She did her work in the house and help ed the boys do theirs on the farm. Once, in "the dead of winter, one of the boys required a new suit of clothes. There was neither money no wool on hand. Themothensheared J tne nau-grown nccce trom tne sneep, arid in one week the suit was on the i boy. The shorn sheep was protected from the cold by a garment made 01 braided straw. The family lived four miles from the '"meeting house." Yet every Sunday the mother and her two sons walked to church. One of these sons became the pastor of the church at Franklin, Conneticut, where he preached for sixty-one years. Two generations went from that church to make the world better. The other sou also became a minister, and then one of the most successful of college presidents. Hundreds of voting men were moulded by him. That heroic christian woman's namo was Deborah Nott. She was the mother of Rev. Samuel Nott and of Eliphalet Kott, president of Union College. Tlic secretary of the treasury in dorses the recommendation of tho chief engineer of the army in his annual estimates and recommends an appropriation of S250,000 for the im provement of Humbolt Bay, 300,000 for the harbor of Oakland. 8125,000 for the harbor of Wilmington, S150, 000 for Coos Bay, and $1-10,000 for Yaquina Bay.
