Incidental Influence.

The following incident serves to show, that
the instruction impaired by Sunday school teach.
ers sometimes exercises an influence beyond the
sphere of their own classes.
There was q girl in one of the Metropolitan
Sunday schools whose father was a printer. The
character of his business required that certain
parts Of his work should be issued early on each
Monday morning, and on this account he was
in the habit of working during the whole of Sum.
day. 1t appears that one Sabbath day, upon
the family sitting down to dinner, the father, as
was his custom, called upon his child sto ask.
the blessing" the girl at first seemed to hesitate,
but afterwards complied with his request; he
asked her however, why she had not asked the
blessing at once; to which she replied, sI was
thinking of what the Teacher said this morning"
"What was that ?" inquired the father. "Why,
that we could not expect Gods blessing if we
wilfully broRe his commandments and Just as 8
was about saying grace I heard the men at :
work down stairs, and could not help thinking
ace were breaking the fourth commandment, and
so had no right to expect Gods blessing"
The parent was unable to reply to the remark.
1t may be that the circumstance of its coming
from his own child helped to sharpen ttthe arrow

answer was frequently in his thoughts, and he at
length determined to discontinue Sunday labor /;
he carried out this resolution, and has never had
occasion to regret it, even in pecuniary point Of
view He soon began to value his Sabbaths, and
as his thoughts very naturally recurred to the
means by which he had been first led to do 50,
he felt that, next to God, his thanks were due to
the Sunday school, as the place at which his
child had learnt that lesson, the repetition of
which had produced so powerful an effect on his
mind. This led him to feel that it was his duty
to give his exertions to the same system, in the
hope that he might be the instrument of sending
a similar message to some other parent; the
consequence was, that he joined Sunday school,
and now, instead of being an habitual desecra-
tor of Gods holy day, he has become an active,

Coming TO their Senses.

The admirable policy adopted by the
new Auditor, and Treasurer Of State, is
bring the Banks up to the mark, and maxi
ing them think that it is about time for
them to pay some respect to the laws of the
State, and the will of the people. Several
of the Banks hnve come in since those Off
GERS issued their circulars, and forked over
the amount of their taxes, and we cannot
doubt that the rest will soon follow suit
This Is one advantage gained by placing the
government in the hands of the Democracy.
The Wings claimed that the Banks were
beyond the reach Of the Legislative power,
and that they could not be brought upon a
level with the people So long as the Banks
were backed in standing out against the
law by the government officials, who could
expect them TO pursue any other course than
just the one they have? But no sooner
are these Wings ousted, and men who are
determined to see that the law is respected,
installed in office, than the Banks cave in
and pay their taxes. These facts Justify
the belief that the claw and order" Wings
have encouraged the Banks to resist the law.
We understand that the Bank at this
place is among the number that have come
in and paid their taxes under the law.

Kossuth and His movements.

On Saturday morning Gov. KossUTH and
suite left Pittsburgh en- route for Cleveland,
and other cities of the West At every point
he was furnished with the most unmistakeable
evidence that every where among the people of
Ohio, he will find warm sympathy manifested
in the cause of Hungary
At Salem he received committee from the
Association Of the Friends of Hungary, and was
presented purse on behalf of the Association
of some $500.
At Alliance he was met by Judge Spalding
and others, on behalf of the Kossuth State Cen
trail Committee; and, on behalf of that commit
tee, and of the people, Judge S. welcomed him
to Ohio, in brief and appropriate address.
He was also waited on at that place by COM
mittees from several towns, among them Canton
and Massillon, from both of which he received
':material aidn
At this place, although but short notice was
given of the time when he would arrive at this
point in his route, q meeting was held and ar.
rangements made to procure him to make short
stop here, and to present him with a eontripu-
tion to the cause of his oppressed country. On
the arrival of the cars here from 1890 to 5000
people had collected to see, if not to hear, the
great Hungarian leader. He was escorted by
by the Committee appointed for that purpose to
the Court House, where the Association of the
Friends of Hungary were in waiting to receive
him. The court room was filled with ladies and
gentlemen, who had contributed their mite to
the great cause of Hungarian freedom. Here
he was introduced to the meeting by Judge
Brayton, the Chairman, in q few brief and ap-
propriate remarks. When Governor KossurH
rose to respond, he was greeted with three hearty
cheers for himsef, three for his noble and de-.
voted wife, and three more for the cause of
Hungary. The state Of his health was too deli
cate TO allow him to make a speech, even would
the time permit it, He said that those present
had come to give and not to receive He thank
ed them over and over again for the interest
they had manifested in the cause of his country
He thanked them for their cheers-they were
appropriate-frst, for himself, then for the COM
panion of his life and then for his country,s
cause. The first two would soon be gone, but
the latter would survive when they have passed
away His few remarks were listened to in the
most breathless silence, and as he left the room,
the audience again gave him three hearty cheers.
When be arrived at the door of the Court house,
he spoke few words tothe large crowd assem-
bled there, and was responded to witha perfect
round of applause. He then proceeded to the

The SIandererS of KOsSHth.

No effort has been spared by the Aus
trian press in this country, TO injure Kos
suth and the cause of Hungarian freedom.
No slander has been too vile for them to
promulgate, So that thereby they might des-
troy his popularity and influence with the
plain republican people Of America. 1t is
to be regretted that even some of those pa
pers which profess and manifest a devotion
to the Hungarian cause, have inadvertently
become the intruments of these slauderers
in furthering their designs.
The most dangerous of these SANDERS,
and the one most calculated to prejudice
K ,ssuth and his cause with our people, is
the charge that he and his suit are extrav-
agant-living at an expense Of three hum
dred dollars day-that they have been
wantonly wasteful of the hospitality of their
guests, and that all this extravagance has
been in accordance with Kossuth's wishes,
when, in truth, the very reverse is the case.
He desires no pomp, no display. no extrav-
a:gance, but on the contrary, that every
dollar that may be given shall be devoted
to the cause of his oppressed country. II
extravaganza has been practiced, Kossuth
and suite are in no wise to blame for it,
and this his revilers well know.
The following letter from the Pittsburgh
correspondent OF the Plain Dealsr, effectu-
ally refutes these miserable SANDERS:
K0ssuth and Suite.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26.
You will naturally wish to know all
about the Magyar, and so to crafty your
curiosity, and reach certain malicious ca
lumnies, go into detail.
First, every person about Kossuth is busy
He employs seven secretaries, and these
eat not of the bread Of idleness. His cor
respondence is voluminous. He dictates te
them, or certain Of them night and day; he
keeps others copying al! the time. Three
of them have wives, we believe. There
are two or three children. Thus the large
stories we have heard about his extravngan
retinue nre all false.
Second, the reports about the "liquol
drinking" are oil lies, let who will circu'
late them. There are about great men
hangers on always. 1t is hard TO get rid o.
them. The Magyar has his share of this
class; and they, with their friends, are the
drinkers. Kossu,h knows nothing about it
and the poor Hungarians with him, are a;
ignorant as he..
The committee at Pittsburgh were led t
suspect something wrong in this matter
from the report OF the wine bills at Wash
ington, Harrisburgh, Hollidaysburgh, &c.
&c, They choose TO examine into ths
matter, and the result is, that the Hungari
ans are innocent. Nobody suspects Kos
su,h. His libellers never charged him will
the sin of over eating, or two much drink
ing. Now they must abandon the charg
against Kossuth's suite.
