It is not in accord with the essential spirit of our great rcpub'ic that the uniform of the soldier should confront and impeach the republican dignity of the citizen; and the mosttjminful duty of the future historian will be to make a proper excuse for the con tinued presence in time of peace of a considerable federal force in any part of our country. lie will have to ad mit and deplore the necessity. He will have to show that the necessity arose in the unbroken spirit of ii heroic and devoted people, .unable to control the passing .11|;lL huUbceUr: excited by an unparalleled war, ami unable all at once t o smother the dying embers of a flame .that lmd conMuutd^Lltcir deur est hopes arid dWlated ihoiV altars and firesides.

Still, gentlemen, the day is not far distant?its light is now breaking all around us?whin your'presence will no longer Lu needed, when the civil authority of the Slate shall be supreme, and we of the South shall he able to hold up, with our heart of hearts, the flag of our common country, as it waves gracefully over our united and prosperous people.

That night two watchers sat in the room adjoining, that in which the corpsc was" lying.. The door be tween the two rbQins was shut, but not latclied. Along toward midnight the watchers began, )as, watchers will, to amuse themselves by telling gho:;t stories. If there is any place or time when a ghost ttory can be told with a popular, thrilling effect it is in the ''dead waste aucl middle cf the night,1' in the immediate propinquity of a corpse; which has just yielded up the ghn?t. So it proveiLin .this instance. As the narrator proceeded with the blood curdling recital, he and his auditor in stinctively turned their cyea toward the door of the room in which the dead man lay. tFust then the relator nid: ? "At that minute an awful groan was heard, the lights turned blue, and there was a amell of brimstone,' the door opened (ff itself, and in walked The knob of the dcor to the corpse'5 room turned slowly, and the door swung open open w.tli a long 'screech.

Apropos of the Tyndall-Darwin theories, comes in one of General Schuick's latest Stories that he told to the wife of a British Cabinet officer, w ho assured him that "England made America all that she is.'? "Pardon me, madam," said the General; "you remind me of an answcnjof tho Ohio led in bis icons, who, attending Sun day-school for the first time, was ask ed by his teacher, "Who made you?" "Made me?"
