taste, but of sound and judicious head, that If
the question occurred to him as TO the pro.
priety of reprint, he would have solved it by
saying, If it is withheld, the act may be deemed
equivocaL and unfounded inferences may be
drawn
= Mr.. President, let none fear that what is
recorded in those anas, after the refntation we
have received to-day, will leave the slightest
shade upon the memory of Bsyard with pos
terity or in history; and equally let none fear,
who is interested for the memory Of Mr.. Jeffer-
son, that it will leave upon the public mind, or
upon the unwritten future, any other impress
sion than regret, that so great man should
have left the world before he was disabused OF
this grave misconception, and had, himself, op-
portunity to disclaim. it."
We wish that we had more space to devote
to this subject. We would be pleased to sketch
the history Of the distinguished father Of the
distinguished Senator from Delaware. The
father and two sons have represented this State
in the Senate of the United States.
That Mr.. jefferson believed what he asserted
no one can doubt. He was not only great,
but he was an honest man, and that he had
reasons for believing, what he charged, reasons
that were satisfactory to him at the time, we
also feel assured. But we think if Mr.. Jeffer
son had been alive, and had heard Senator Bay
ards defense, he would not only have &C.
quilted the father, but he would have honored
the son.

EFFECT OF THE HARD TIMES IN

1t is not very remarkable, but such is the
fact (says the New York SUM- "that the hard

gentleman who keeps the run of facts,
figures, and babies, has Just laid before an
inquiring world" the following statistics. The
whole number of languages spoken in the
world amount to 3,064--5S7 in Europe, 936
in Asia, 276 in Africa, and 1924 in America.
The inhabitants of our globe profess more than
1000 different religions. The number of men
is about equal to the number Of women. The
average of human life it about 33 years. One
quarter part die previous to the age Of seven
years, one-half before reaching seventeen years
OF age, and those who pass this age enjoys
falicity refused to one-half the human species
To every 1000 persons only one reaches 100
years of life to every 100 only six reaches
the age Of sc, and not more than one in 500
live to 80 years. There are on earth 1000, ,0O0,.
600 of inhabitants, and of these 333,333, ,333
die every year, 9l,324, every day 3,730 every
hour, thirty every minute, or one every second.
These losses are about balanced BY an equal
number Of births. The married are longer
lived than the single, and above all those who
observe sober and industrious conduct. Tall
men live longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life in their favor previous
to being so years of age than men have, fewer
afterwards. The number of marriages in pro.
portion Of l75 to every 1000 individuals.
Marriages are more frequent after the equi.
noxes; that is, during the months of June
and December. Those born in the spring are
generally more robust than others. Births
and deaths are more frequent by night than by
day. The number of men capable of working
or bearing arms is calculated at one fourth Of
the population.
Some Of these statements are rather sinpu-
lar, and yet many Of them are susceptible Of
an easy solution. That marriages take place
more frequently in June, and December, than
other months Of the year, was what we always
suspected was the case. Those who marry in
June do so because they can't help It, while
those who connubalize in December, do 30,
doubtless, to guard against the chilly pillows
which distinguish the frostbitten months of
winter. The matches which come off in June
are commonly love matches, and are brought
about by green fields, and the contagious in
fuence Of bobolinks and yellow birds; while
those which happen in December are brought
about, in great degree, by mixing plain
mathematics with the market value of flannel
under garments.--National Monitor.

The following extracts from the old court
records of Connecticut are sufficiently plain
without the opinion of any of our modern the
ologians:
"At county court held at Hartford, Sep
tember 4, 1905:
Whereas, James Steel did commence an
action against Bevel Waters, (both of Hart
ford, in this court, upon hearing and tryall
whereof the court gave Judgment against the
said Waters las in justice they think they
ought upon the declaring the said judgment
the said Waters did review to the court in
March next, that being granted and entered,
the said Waters, as be departed from the table,
he said: God bless you oper the left shoulderp
The court ordered a record to be made
forthwith.

At the next court Waters was tried for con-

ing the court, and on verdict fined f5. He
asked q review at the court following, which
was granted; and, pending trial, the court
asked counsel of the Rev. Messrs. Woodbridge
and Buckingham, the ministers Of the Hartford
churches, as to "the common acceptation y of
the offensive phrase. Their reply constitutes
part of the record, and is as follows:
ave are Of opinion that these words, said
on the other side to be spoken by Bevell Wa.
ters, include Il prophaneness, by using the
name of God, that is holy, with such in words
where it was joined; RI that they carry great
contempt in them, arising to the degree Of an
imprecation or a curse, the words Of curse
being the most contemplate that can ordina
rily be used.

The former judgment was affirmed on re
view. This, it is believed, is the earliest in
stance Of the use of the phrase to be met with.

pointed by the committee to edit this publica-
ton, was selected; a citizen of Virginia, then
and still professor in old William and MARY
our renowned and earliest seat of learning
Professor Washington. He conversed with
me frequently and freely while he had this
work under his charge; he conversed equally,
| believe, freely with the honorable Senator
from Maryland, who was then, as now, chair
man of the Committee on the Library, to whom
the duty Of publication was intrusted. Profes
sor Washington considered it his duty, and in
that, believe, he was sustained by the bonora.
bic Senator from Maryland--certainly he was
by me-to publish everything which would con
tribute materials for future history, or which
would show the political opinions and tenets
of Mr.. Jefferson. ] presume there was no
consultation with anybody as to the publ
cation of the dnas. / never heard of IT,
My impression is, however, that these anos had
been published in the private collection that
was printed by Mr.. Jefferson's representatives
after his death, and had gone to the world in
that form, and if the inquiry had been made Of
me, or Of the honorable Senator from Delaware.
now before me, Mr.. BAYARD,I upon the pro-
priety Of reprint Of this book, Il would have
been question Of difficult solution because,
il they had been withheld, af a future day il
might have been supposed that they we're sup.
pressed from the tenderness to the memory Of
the gentleman who was assaied. A most unjust
and unfounded inference might thus have
arisen, had they been suppressed. take it for
granted, and if ] am wrong the Senator from
Maryland Ma PEARcE, will correct me, that
the attention, neither Of the committee or of
any other, was called by Professor Washington
to the propriety Of publishing the anas with the
other papers. ! therefore am not in possession
of his reasons for having included them but

distinguished Federalists, IN opposition to the
sentiments Of great portion Of their own
party.
Mr.. President, there is beautiful passage
in the life Of Mr.. Bayard-a lessen for every
American. He belonged to, may almost say
he was the head Of, that great party which,
from the foundation of the Government, has
contended with the Democratic party for the
administration of the affairs of this country.
He was among the most prominent and hon.
ored men Of that party which opposed the war
Of 1912, no doubt from very conscientious
motives. But, sir, in the darkest crisis Of the
war, when it was thought best by Mr.. Madison
TO send an embassy to England, who was
selected2 This very man, against whom these
imputations were circulated and sent to the
ears Of Mr.. jefferson. Mr.. Jefferson's friend
and successor, and confidential adviser, Mr..
Madison, selected him to accompany Henry
Clay, Albert Gallatin, and the other eminent
men who negotiated the treaty of peace. That
was the stamp of his cotemporaries on his
character. He went there in the view of the
whole world, and, to my knowledge, he had an
honorable share in the preparations of the
articles of peace. Those commissioners con-
Quoted themselves like Americans. Theywould
not give up one inch Of territory. When Eng.
land proposed to run a line south of Sandusky
bar, taking off part Of the State Of Ohio, and
all north Of it to the Mississippi river under
the pretense that they wanted that territory for
Indian country, what did the commissioners
say2 That they had not the power to yield one
foot Of the territory Of the United States, and
that one inch Of II they never would yield.
That ought to be lessen to Americans in all
time TO come. Sir, the memory of such men
is the treasure Of our country. Let us protect
il with sacred vigilance,
