The following Is an extract from the viii
of the late John McDonough, of New Or
leans. After devoting millions to founding
free schools, he thus concludes.
And was near forgetting tliat) l have
still one small request to make. one little IA
yor still to ask, and it shall be the last It
is, that it may be permitted, annually, to
the children OF the free schools, situated
nearest to my place of interment, to plant
and water a few flowers around my grave
This little act will have a double tendency;
it viii open their young and susceptible
hearts to gratitude and love to their Creator
for having raised up, as the humble instru-
ment of his bounty to them, poor. frail
worm of earth like me, and teach them at
the same time, what they are, whence they
came, and whittier they must return.

The Summer is Passing.

Thurlow W. Brown, of the Wisconsin
Chief. occasionally indulges in the sentimen-
tai and beautiful, and seldom more success
fully than in the following::-
''The summer is passing. So the eye
seeth, and the ear heareth. The telegraph
does not bring the news, or the ocean steam
er. Yet, thousand carriers are busy, and
the truth greets us at every turn. We hear
ripples under the sunny keel as the sum-
mer drifts away. We see the sails mellow
ing in the hazy sunlight. As we lay down
at night, the sweet, yet saddening melody
of departure, mingles far out into the land
of dreams. Under the sentinel beaming of
the midnight stars, the song goes on. At
break of day, it continues. The sun has a
soberer tinge in its smile The blue sky is
not as clear. There are signs of hectic up
on the foliage. The stubble fields join their
silent testimony. The carol of the birds is
less buoyant, and under our window by day
and night, the autumn cricket sings his
sharp but plaintive hymn. The wagons are
creaking under the gathering sheayes, and
well-filled mOws greet the eye through the
wide-swung DOORS The threshers will now
be busy, and their steady hum viii come
rising and falling upon the winds over the
fields. The good fiails-bless them for their
olden-time memories-are not gone with 9TH
er things of the ''good old times of yore.'
We only hear theiE measured beat in mem
ory, and stop to dream of the days when We
helped to swing them, and to beat out by
single blows the rattling gram

A SHARP BROKER An old and very
sharp broker in Cleveland, thinking to less
en- the express charge on package of mon
ey marked it 81, 500, when in reality it
contained S2,350. 1t went at that rate,
but unfortunately it was lost, and the broker
not daring to claim the whole amount, had
to accept 81, 800 from the express company,
thus paying $3.50 for his sharpness The
best of the story is, the company found the
package after they had paid the broker, and
discovered the cheat that had enriched them
in a cool $780,

A Hard Hit.

Mayor Wood, of New York, proposed,
says the Albany Knicker6ocker, ''to get up
a new party of Hards in New York He
wrote to Dickinson to 'join in" Dickin-
son read the letter, and replied that be
(Wood) might establish a ssHard' of his
own-of .-hard drinkers, hard swearers,
hard liars, hard livers, hard swindlers, and
hard characters generally" making common
dishonest, ''of which party added Dick
inson, ttas Chief of the Metropolitan hard
characters, Mr. Wood might be an appro-
pirate leader. But for himself he wished to
be neither snlug gsgler nor pirate. This ver-
sion of Dickinson's has been the standing
joke of politicians for the past nine days.

The Proats of the slave .Trade.

A letter published in London paper
says that at Lagos, the greatest slave mar
ket in Africa. the supply of slaves is OBJ
tanned by the King from the Taboo eoun-
try, where all prisoners of war are consid-
cred as slaves. The price paid by him is
roll of tobacco for two, the cost of the to-
bacco being from 25 to 80 dollars. The
dealer pays the King about $50 for each
siave-a young and well-grown man bring
ing S75, an inferior one 80 TO 40 dollars
The writer states that in 1854 the cost of
importation to Havana was computed at
about S75 each, and that they brought in
that city about 81 600 each. while in Bra
I'll they would bring only $500. He fur
nished a tabular statement, showing that
800 slaves in Havana realized above $780,
.0oo-the expenses being computed at $685.
.O75, and the clear profit at S736. 1876.

Another example OF bogus justice was
afforded at Lecompton last week. The trial
of the notorious Hays, for the murder of
Buffum, was to have been had, but Hays,
having by the mercy of Judge Lecompte
been admitted to straw bail. was of course
not forthcoming. 1t viii be remembered
that the release of this man on hail BY Le-
cOmpte, last winter, after second arrest,
although indicted for murder, in the first de-
gree, was the exciting cause of the. rupture
between Gov. Geary and Lecompte. The
result must prove, to those even who were
any wise skeptical before, that there was a
determination on the part of the bogus court,
with Judge Lecompte at the bottom of it,
to prevent any punishment being visited
upon the man. He was considered by them
to have committed meritorious act. in the
murder of Free State man, and it has been
matter of surprise that he has not ere this
been returned to Kanzas by the Admins
tration IN the enjoyment of some one of the

A SAVAGE INsINUATIoN.-Mr. Anson
Jones, of Texas, has written spicy letter,
eonsenting TO be candidate for the e. S.
Senate, in place of Sam. Houston, whose
general views he violently opposes. They
have both supported the same Indian policy,
but in this, Mr.. Jones says, Gen. Houston
''was governed very much by private and
personal considerations. His course to-
wards the Indians was prompted by his in
dividual connection and relationship, as well
as association with the Cherokees, into
which tribe he had married, and by which
he had been adopted and whose habits and
modes of life he had assumed

Ornamental Trees.

The planting of. ornamental trees and
shrubbery is a matter too much. neglected
in all countries, more especially in new
ones. The farmer thinks he has all he can
do to provide for the useful and necessary,
and cannot find time to attend to the orna-
mental. The merchant, mechanic, and pro-
fessional man, are each busy in their respec-
tive pursuits, and all are too intent upon
making money to pay much attention to
these small matters, as they are usually con-
sidered.
But in a few years these same men would
give much of their hard-earned gold if it
would purchase the beautiful shade trees
which border the grounds of some tasteful
and thoughtful neighbor; many dollar
would they give if the fine shrubbery which
beauties their neighbor's lawn and garden
could be transferred, in all It's beauty and
freshness, to their own. And yet these
coveted objects have cost their owners but
very little money, and but few hours labor;
but that money and labor were expended in
the right time. and, with proper care, which
of itself is pleasure, they now enjoy the
fruits of their well-timed investment. Who,
that has travelled over the level prairies OF
Indiana and Illinois, has not been struck by
the lonely and desolate appearance of most
of the farms Every one must notice it,
but perhaps every one does not stop to con-
slider why it is, until he is reminded of the
cause, by seeing fine farm, the road through
which is bordered by shade trees, the house
and out buildings surrounded by grove ot
thrifty trees, lawn filed with shrubs and
flowers, and a noble orchard loaded witt
fruit Then, even the most casual observer
cannot fail to notice the difference, and ever
the most vulgar mind would not hesitate tc
pay a good round price for such a situation
In pecuniary point of view, it viii Away:
