Ha?ng Honest Politicians. A great many people, both men and women, Srofess to have a "perfect horror of politics." hey look upon the modes by which govern? ment is carried on as a game in the bands of shrewd, unscrupulous, daring men, who have little regard for truth, honenty. or the real pros? perity of the country, bot who are impelled by love of lncro, of position and power. Kb common to huar politics spoken of as a Serbo sian bog, in which every man must he mired who attempts to reach greatness through that highway,. >7ow we hold, and we think the justice of oar position can !? established, that every man and every woman in the republic is responsible to a greater or leas extent for corattion in politics. And more,.that it is the duty of every individ? ual to have a hand in this matter of purifying politics. How is it to be done? In the first place, "laying the ax at the root of the tree;" by beginning at the cradle to inculcate lessons of truth, honesty, civil and social, and of Chris? tian charity, which is "Peace on earth and good will to men." It is a common saying, we have heard it a thousand times in Fourth of July and similar orations, that the Bible is the corner? stone of this Republic We all believe, this to be so, but how do we act in reference to this connection? How many parents, taking this book as the rule of moral action, diligently in? struct their children in its teachings in order that they may become good citizens. , How many take pain3 to cultivate in their offspring the love, for its own intrinsic excellence, of that which is absolutely pure and just and true? How many teach them when . tempted to go as? tray to reply, "How can I do this great wick? edness, and sin against God ?" There is in ev? ery man's house a perfect antidote to this cor? ruption in politics which is so much prated about. Did Joseph in Egypt attain and retain his eminence at the Court of Pharaoh by bribe? ry and chicanery ? His story is full of lessons of political wisdom and sagacity, of truth and honesty, of high capacity and incorruptible in? tegrity, of ail the elements that make statesmen great.* Was ;;t by trickery that Daniel became third ruler in Belsbazzara kingdom, and first of the three President's in the reign of Darius ? The ignorance of men and women and chil? dren, nominally Christian, of a great many characters and events portrayed, in the Sacred Scriptures, is simply deplorable. You cannot find a carpenter without his rule in his pocket, you will never catch a stone-mason without his line or plummet, a railroad contractor without maps and charts somewhere about him, an edi? tor without his newspaper, but how often do we meet men and women, nominally honest, about whom we can find no trace of this absolute line of moral action, this plummet of Divine recti? tude, this title-deed to everlasting inheritance, hut must take it for granted that they have got it stowed away in some secret pocket. As long as we have a Government there must be men to administer it, and it is for tho interest of every? body that these men he honest; it is in the power of every father and mother in the land to' contribute to this result. Instead of keeping out of politics let every man act his part in it-well and honestly, and do what be can to make others conduct in the same manner, let him train his sons to imitate the demigods of this nation?Washington, and Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, and Chief Justice Marshall, and John Jay?men whose social and political lives were equally stainless. Men and women of high virtue are no more the result of an accident than the raising of eighty bushels of shelled corn to the acre' is an accident. Miracles do not happen in this nine? teenth century.. The seed that was sown in good ground brought forth abundantly; that ground had been carefully prepared; it was not naxd like the wayside, weedy or without depth of earth, hut mellow, moist; pulverized, and fertilized. Thus with moral soil. Our greatest divines, our noblest statesmen, our most emi? nent philosopher and scientists, are the blos? som* of generations Of culture and intelligence, of morality and virtue. A Fighting Pabsoit.?The Edgefield Air vertiter tells the following anecdote of the late war : During Longstreet's campaign in Tennessee, while a portion of his army was under a fear? ful fire of shells from the enemy, at Campbell's Station, a private soldier, within a few feet of the Colonel of his regiment, had both his legs torn offV The regiment was not fighting, but waiting orders. The wounded man was lifted a couple of yards in the rear to die. Another Erivate now marched down the line under a ail of missiles, and said to the commanding officer, "Colonol, may I have a few moments of praver with that dying man ?" The Colonel said, "are you a clergyman ?" The private answered, "I am." "Then," said the Colonel, "do as you desire." And the man of God knelt and prayed with and for the dying man five or ten minutes, without moving or swaying his body, seemingly totally unconscious of a storm .of shot and shell, which, the Colonel tells as, he never saw surpassed in fury. In a few days the praying private was announced in field orders as Chaplain of the regiment? "promoted for gallantry and piety on the field." The regiment was the Hampton Legion. The Colonel was Gary. The private soldier was the Rev. W. M. Thomas, now pastor of the Metho? dist Churches of our circuit. ? The following story is told of the Rev. Mr. liammuud, who approached a roan at Bur? lington the" other day, asking him if he was a Christian. "]$o," replied the other party, "I am a railroad man." "Well," said Mr. Ham mgnd, "I know of several conductors in New England that are Christians." "That may work down East all right, but a man can't be both in Iowa," responded the employee. ? A tailor, speaking of winter fashions, says correctly: "There's not much change in gen? tlemen's pants this season." Harrying in Haste and What Became of It. To Chester, in Pennsylvania, there came, during the last Christmas holidays, a young man, giving the name of Whalley, and asser? ting that he had been a sea captain. Sturdy of form, bronzed in complexion, and with a certain air of better days about him, the stranger was not discredited in his further as? sertion that he was the son of a planter of Ce? cil county, Md., who had been impoverished by the Southern war, and that an unfortunate nau? tical venture of his own as commander of a sloop which was burned at sea had reduced him to a poverty compelling the humblest way of living. Attracted by chance to Chester, he was pleased with the appearance of place and people, and trusted that his frank readiness to accept any honest employment would render it Eossible for him to earn a livelihood there. If is expectations in this last matter were only moderately answered, he was at least not alto? gether rejected, for the proprietors of a machine shop engaged his services, in a small position, for a salary which was to increase with his proficiency. Thus beginning his career in me? chanics, the captain was not averse to the so? cial consideration gained by report of his more* pretentious 'past, and in a few weeks found himself a modest lion in the parlors of several highly respectable families. A majoriiy of the ?yonng ladies were discreetly cautiousIn receiv? ing hiseourtesies, to be-sure; but a Miss Tay? lor, whose parents were of the local aristocracy, ! was more hearty in recognizing him at once as of eligible caste, and was. presently involved thereby in a relation of sentiment by which yonng hearts are easily led to think themselves wiser than old heads. Her family, however, did not partake of this affinity, and by a too hasty development of opposition precipitated the very crisis they designed averting. Think : ing herself persecuted audHhe" high-born ma? chinist cruelly misjudged, and of course re | solved to take part in a new Southern rebel? lion, she and the captain met at parties^ ex? changed notes by stealth, and gradually ar? rived ??be climax usual in such affaire. From an'evening entertainment last week"at which" both had been guests tbey repaired to an adja? cent parsonage, and from thence, as man and wife, took; their way audaciously to the bride's stately home. It was the paternal Taylor who answered the door-bell, and perceiving who his daughter's escort was, and being addressed by that gentleman as "father," he retired franti? cally up stairs to call Mrs. Taylor to the field. In the ensning exciting consultation of all par? ties in the parlor the bridegroom was sternly summoned to give an exact rehearsal of his past history and future expectations, and show now he intended supporting himself and wife in future. His style of response made it more evident that be counted upon material help from his father-in-law; and this practical view cf the event not only excited the wrath of the old people, but also aroused, the.sudden, con? tempt of the bride herself. Whether realizing at last her own imprudence, or beholding her lover m~& new light, the young-lady burst into a passion of tears and fairly asked her father to save her from her husband. The scene ended in the captain's enforced acceptance of lonely quarters for the remainder of the night and polite dismissal from the premises next morning; but a correspondent of the St. Louis Eepubheart reports that he is determined to have the wife he has married, and will proba? bly appeal to the law for vindication in the claim. . The Virginia Salt Works.?The origin of the Southwestern Virginia Salt Works is curious! The' place was once a vast swamp, noisome, slimy and dangerous. Deer, hogs and cattle would often be found dead there. Vapor continually arose from the sodden ground. So lonely was it that it got the reputation of being haunted, and when Win. Crabtree, a hunter, settled upon it and claimed it, he found no one to dispute his right. From his heirs a certain William King, suspecting its value as a salt field from various indications, bought it for a rifle and a pony. He opened it and cleared it, and dug oia wells. It was profitable business, and rapidly increased. During the war these works were the principal dependence of the Confederacy for salt. Often a thousand wagons waited at one time to load. They conveyea the salt for hundreds of miles into the interior. After several attempts the Federal troops de? molished the works, but never held them for any length of time. The company now have six furnaces, and can make two thousand four hundred bushels of salt a day. Social Equality at the Inaugural,? Some of the. Northern journals are offended at the social equality feature of the grand inau? gural ball.. One spectacle in particular, they say, "called forth special indignation"?a "per? fectly white man sandwiched between two col? ored women." In view of the President's inauguration speech, which they have so loudly applauded and loyally approved, this mawkish ness of our Northern brethren seems- both ill timed and ^bsard. The doctrine of civil, rights, which Gen. Grant so earnestly urges upon the country, amounts practically to noth? ing more nor less.than social equality. If the colored people are to be forced into Southern hotels, theatres, churches and schools, we do not nee why they shouldn't go to balls and lift their heels with the upper crust of Northern society.- Sauce, which is proclaimed a good thing for the goose, can't be objectionable when applied to the gander. Bise of a Poor Young Man.?Thirty years ago a young man entered the city of New York in an almost penniless condition, and without a single acquaintance in the great wil? derness of houses. To-day his name is known wherever humanity breathes. It is spoken in every city, and is as familiar to the workers in the mines as to the brothers in the mills, and wherever language is known and ideas ex? pressed the name of this penniless, unknown and Uncouth lad of thirty years ago is uttered. It was John Smith.?Danoury Newt. ? A correspondent of the Scientific Ameri? can commends onions as a specific against epi? demics?not as an esculent, but sliced and kept in a sick room where they will absorb any atmosphereic poison. They should be replaced by^iresh ones*every hour. It is noticed that in the room of a small pox patient they will blis? ter and decompose very rapidly, but will pre? vent the spread of the disease. Their applica? tion has also proved effective in the ease of snake bites. ? The immense amount of ink included in the stationary account of the Pennsylvania Legislature was an inexplicable mystery until some one discovered that a shrewd whiskey dealer in the neighborhood was a large buyer of empty ink bottles, which were refilled and vended under the label of extra writing fluid, warranted not to corrode the pen. ? Books, says Lord Bacon, can never teach the use of books ; the student must learn by commerce with mankind to reduce his specula? tions'to practice. No man should think so highly of himself as to think he can receive but little light from books, nor so meanly as to believe be can discover nothing but what is to be learned from them. ? The Utica Herald has discovered that "it is now unlawful for tobacco chewers to beg a 'chew.' The United States internal revenue law allows no person or persons to sell or dis? pose of tobacco in any form, no matter how small or great in bulk, without paying first a license of $?." ? In a recent debate a member of the Califor? nia Legislature exclaimed: "The honorable gentleman from Calaveras county is undoubted? ly a person of great abilities, a man of talent, a natural-born genius; but there is one thing which I defy him to do, and that is, to bite the bottom of a frying-pan without smutting his J nose." ' All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? "A monster in human form" says that the only time that a woman does not exaggerate is when she is talking of her own age. ? A publisher gave a very good reason for preferring deceased authors for living ones. He said that the former never kept him waiting for copy. J ? The New Orleans Picayune says: "In I the oldest times in Louisiana, when a man had ; a law suit, he used to hire a lawyer; now he ' has to hire a judge." I ? A coroner';? jury in Missouri recently gave an intelligent and explanatory verdict thus: "We find that he came to his death from calling Bill Jackson a l iar." ? A Westert: paper laments because of the prevalence of the idea that it is more respecta? ble to sell shoe:; for $10 a week, than to earn $25 by making them. ? When an Arkansas sheriff has a warrant" to serve on a desperado, he finds the only prac? tical method in first to shoot him and then serve the warrant on the body. ? A party of young men in Macon have gone to keeping house on the co-operative plan. Dominoes for breakfast, seven-tip for^dmner, ah?Tdraw-pokei for lunch. \ ' -? The Chicago Journal gives the following warning:-Look out for Mrs. Snyder, of Cleve? land; she has killed two husbands, and is roaming around the country for a third. ? Sydney 8na?.th once commenced a charity sermon by say ing: "Benevolence is a senti? ment common to human nature. A never sees B in distrets without asking C to relieve him." -??';***?-7/ fi qrp ? Josh Billings says: "Yn kam} fiiid^&K tentment 'laid down oh the map; it iz an im? aginary place not settled yet; and those reach it soonest who ti row away their compass and go it blind." ?

She says she -loves, tbe ground he. walks on, and perfectly adores the house he lives in. ? A ten-year-old, boasting to a schoolmate of his father's ixcoraplishmeuts" put it thus: "My father c?a do almost anything. He's r notary public, and he's an 'pothecary, and can fill teeth, and he's a boss doctor, and be can mend*wagons,'and things, and he can play the fiddle, and he's a jackass at alltrades." ? The curse of ? our country is the bitter partisan spirit tbat prevails in one and ?ll par? ties. If men would Be"lookeoT^?T6r uieTr actual worth, und be weighed -according to their deeds, and not judged by' their political opinions, it w<;nld, be better for the G^try. Let us take a min as we find him, and judge him accordingly. i ? ,? ? Here is acotber on?j of those 'dvtfiAWnt facts of scienco: Feeling is a much slower sense, than sight. If a man had an arm- long enough to reach the sun, add were to touch that body with she tip of his finger, he would never find out whether it was hot or cold, as he would be deud before the sensation. arrived at headquarters, which would requiredMiyeara, ? One of the Ohio papers tells about a brave little boy oat there who found a broken rail on the raihoad track, and preceiving tue peril in which the train would be placed if it should come dashing past without warning, set out on the fence for five long hours in the bitter winter cold, in order that he might carry the first news of the accident .to his father, who is local editor of a paper published in a neigh? boring village. -f ? From letters received in Washington^ it appears that th :re is no doubt of money being used in the late Senatorial election in Florida, not, however, to any very large amount. The sable legislators of that State are not very high-toned in regard to prices. According to the investigation rulling rates were a "suit of store clothes," a big silver watch, or enough to pay for a buggy ride. ? The magnitude of the Illinois railroad system can be understood when it is considered that now only snven counties, Jasper, Crawford, Calhoun, Hardin, Pope, Massac and Franklin, out of the 102 counties in the State, are not touched by railroads. Even in the seven counties mentioned, railroads are already pro? jected, so that it will be but a short time until every county in .he State will be reached by rail, aggregating a total of between 7,000 and 8,000 miles of road. ? Ever since agriculture has been practiced soot has been known to be a valuable manure, and yet in the nineteenth century there are hundreds of farmers who cannot be persuaded to believe this. It is really as valuable as gu? ano. Take a hogshead of water, and dissolve in it twelve qua rts of soot, and you will have a splendid liquid manure'for plants. ? We don't think that we ,ever metwitfua more melancholy story than thiB, ofifa jqpng couple in Hardin Co., Ohio. They being very much enamored of each other, protracted their sitting to a late hour, and falling asleep before tbe stove the poor young woman's dress took fire, and she was fatally burned. We usually like startling and remarkable para? graphs, but really we nope that this one is not founded on fact. ?--~ ?i"*tV" ' ? There is a story afloat about a German gentleman in Berks county, who buried his wife, and manned again in about ten days. The young men of the neighborhood deter? mined to signify their disapproval of such a breach of propriety as this speedy marriage; so, while tue w< dding feast was in progress in the house, they called and gave the parties a calathumpian serenade. After .awhile the groom appeared at tbe front door, and, when silence bad been obtained, he said, in a depre? catory tone: "I say, poys, you ought to pe ashampt of yourselves to pe making all ais noise, ven dere vos a funeral here so soon. It ain't right." The band then adjourned. ? Ossawatamie, Kansas, has come down to us linked with the name of old John Brown, though he is supposed to be some distance from there at tl. e present time, as he has kept "marching on" at a desperate rate ever since he died. Tbe place, however, has entitled itself to new distinction, by lynching the most desperate horse thief to be found on the border, one George Ellis. He fought fiercely, but was hung to a tree, with a blanket over his head, and irons on hi s hands and feet. When be was buried one of the lynchers, to make sure that the dirt was well packed, got upon the new made grave and stamped it down until it was firm, and the coffin I ess man rested in peace in the shadow of the primeval woods.
