/ The A Administration at Washington is
endeavoriug to make it appear that Penn
lsylvania's Tariff whiln caused the recent
overthrow Of the friends of Mr.. Buchanan
ia that State The Pass disposes Of this
clumsy story thus:
The question Of protection has deeply
interested our people, and there is an ear
nest feeling on the subjects but how did
that of Itself defeat the Administration
andidatess They were vociferous through
out the whole cansassin their expressions
Iof devotion to the doctrine of protection.
and boldly proclaimed that they were ths
best tariff candidates before the people
that they could and would obtain more de-
lsirable legislation for Pennsy wanna inter-
ests than their opponents. Nay. more; a
leading argument urged aga'n,s the Peo-
pies Party was based on the false asser-
lion that their nominee, Mr.. Read, had

So far as professions could go, there never

THE TINES OF GEORGE II Those who
are given to mourn over the degeneracy
of the age as compared with Tie earlier
days, viii perhaps be somewhat reassured
from the sketch which follows ofIwhat was
common in Loncon in the days Of George
III, that the course of humanity is not
down hill:
"London streets, in the early days Of
George the Third, were infested with bold
thieves, who did not scruple to stop car.
riages after dark in the public thorough
fares. Drunken men were constantly to be
met: no well dressed person could walk
far without receiving insult or injury;
walk of mile out Of town could not be-
taken even in he daytime without some
risk Of being waylaid. In The streets the
narrow footway was, until 1861, separated
from the carriage road oily BY d line of
unconnected stakes or posts, set at vide in
tervals, and il was frequently blocked lp
with chairs, wheelbarrows, or Instructions
placed there for the direct purpose Of an
noyance. Carmen and hackney coachmeri
considered it good sport to splash clean peo-a
pie from head TO foot. If terrified wo-
man OF bewildered stranger slipped into d
kennel, there were shouts Of triumph and
delight. In the roadway the confusion was
yet greater. There being no regulations
for the traffic, dead lecks and stoppages
arose. Loud alterations were then swol-
len by the chorus about carriages, of crip-.
pies and beggars, and if there were ladies
in a family coach, some street vocalist was
likely to begin filthy song, of which the
refrain would be taken up by humorous
bystanders. Mobs were common; foreign

A DAMAGING DIsCLosURE.-1he Iion
F. 2. Stanton, Secretary of Kansas under
Gov. Walker, in a late speech at Lawrence
made the following statement:
He(Mr Stan,on)came to Kansas in 81,
believing it to be tbs intention of Mr.. Blu
chanan to deal fairly with the people
Had not this beeii his opinion, he would
never have accepted the position of Sec
retary, nor Walker that Of Governor of
the Territory. Justice demanded the aid
mission that he still believed the intention
of the Administration to have been good.
Its presentline Of policy was an after
thought. Until the month of September
he and Gov. Walker were sustained
throughout the Administration. He
would mention one circumstance which
was not generllly known, as showing
this.conclusively.
On Il e l Of September, Gen. WHIT
field and DR.. Tebbs of, Kansas, who were
then in Washington, signed a letter Eek
pressly stating that the course Of "Goy.
Walker and Secretary Stanton was &C
ceptable "to the people of Kansas, mas
much as an undoubted majority were in
favor of a Free State" This letter was
written at the speciol request Of Mr..
Buchanan, who was anxious to shield him
self from the assaults then being made
upon him by the South. Through Mr..
Buchanan's agency, the letter was sent to
Tile Union office, was actually in type
accompanied by editorial comments in
dorsing the character of DR.. Tebbs as a
sgentleman Of unimpeachable veracity,"
when it was seen in proof by a Southern
member Of the Cabinet, who ordeerd its
suppression. From that day to THIS the
course of the Administration towards Kan
sas had been a most INSCRIPTIONS and

EW Many an unwise parent works hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the pur-
pose of leaving enough to give his children
a start in the world, so called. Setting a
young man afioat with money left him by
his relatives is like tying bladders under
the arms of one who cannot swim -
ten chances to one he will loose his blad-
ders and 90 to the bottom. Teach him
TO swim, and he will not need the blad-
ders. Give your child g sound education.
See to it that his n orals are pure his mind
cultivated, his whole nature made subssfv-
lent to the laws which govern man, and
you have given him what will be Of more
value than the wealth Of the Indies. You
have given him start which no nisfor-
tune can deprive him Of. The earlier. you
teach him to depend upon his own re-
sources and the blessing of God the bet.

The EVERLASTING BURDEN.-Calif Hakkam, who
was great lover of show, wished to enlarge aud
beautfy the palace gardens. To this end he bought
the neighboring lands, paying their owners what
they asked for them. But there was widow who
conscientousy refused to dispose of the possession
of her foreathers and rejected every offer that was
made This opposition angered the overseer of the
palace, and he seized upon the widows lan1 taking
it by force. The widow came, weeping, to Iba YES
CHR, who was at this time the cadi, city Judge
He heard her statement, and saw that the law was
on her side; but yet he felt that it would be no ca
sy matter to right her; as prince, who always
followed the bent Of his own wishes, would not be
likely to pay much regard to an old law.
What then did the upright cadi do?
He sadded his ass, tied large sack about his
neck, and rode at once to the Photographers,
where he found the caliph in the beautiful pavilion
which he had erected upon the widows ground
The arrival of the cadi with his ass and sack no it,
when IbaVeschir fell down at his feet and thus petit
toned:
"Permit me, Caliph to fill this sack with some
of the earth upon which l now standing"
Hakkam permitted it. When the sack was filled,
the cadi asked the caliph to help him lift it upon
which preceded it but wishing to see what the man
was aiming at, the calph took hold 1t was too
heavy, however, for them to it. and the caliph
said, "Itis too heavy cad; it is too beavy!"
"Caliph!" Iba Vescoir boldly answered. "you
find this burden too heavy, and yet it comprises but
very small portion of the ground which you have
unjustly taken from poor widow. How, then, will
you be able to bear he whole, when at the last
day the great Judge shall! lay it all upon your Shout
ders!"
The calph was convicted Of his wrorg and, prais.
ing the cadis frankness and wisdom he restored to
the widow her land with all the buildings that had
been erected upon it-Children's Magazine.

The CUMBERLAND Gap RA1ERoAD.-The Bristol
Nesos states that the Board of Directors OF the Vir
gnia and Kentucky Railroad have made contract
with Messrs P. B. & W. j. Hawkins, and E. A.
Jones of North Carolina. to construct the entire
work to Cumberland -Gap-and that it is their in
tention to push the work forward with vigor. The
question as to where the Eastern terminus shall be-
will be decided at the next meeting at Abingdon, on
the 18th October. Messrs. James King ST., L. F..
Johnson Sam. E. Goodson and A. K. Moore made 3
bid for the contract and offered to build to Goodson
for 900 less than the estimated cost the Alb
ingdon route. They urge that there is a feasible
route from the north fork of the Holston river to
Goedson, and that the route from the Poor Valley
to Goodson is preferable to the line to Abingdon up
Smiths creek, will be eleven miles shorter will
cost $4,000 less, will have about half as much
maximum grade, will not by rivalry injure the Vir-
gnia and Tennessee Railroad, and its stock will be
more valuable. The Board Of Directors have or.
dered a survey Of the route to Goodson, which the
Nesos is still hopeful may be adopted.-Rich. Eng.

The CONDITION OF THE MORMON WoMEN-Uf the
condition of women under the Mormon system, the
Utah correspondent of the London Times, thus
writes:
While at Provo, had good opportunity to Oh
serve the condition Of the female population. As a
s ssFa hs to be
carefully and say that the Old women, whose days
of pleasure and worldly hope have passed, seem to
be happy the middle aged keenly sensitive and mis-
erable and the young reckless. stless and hopeless
having nothing in anticipation but sensual vassal-
age painfully conscious that their natural affections
must ever be unsatisfed, and the love they would
share alone with husband be divided with several
feminine partners. The women all mcanly
clad-many of them having scarcely sufficient to
cover their nakedncss This arises not merely
from poverty but from the fact that in consequence
of the merchants having been driven away from the
valley there have been no fabrics here to be pur-
chased fit for female apparel. friend of mine,
officer of the army, while passing along byroad
day or two since, came suddenly upon party of a
dozen or more women, young and DID, returning to
foot, who had evidently taken the by road to avoid
observation. These were almost destitute Of upper
clothing. and had blankets wrapped about their
forms like Indian squaws, to cover their nakedness
At the sight of the stranger they fed from the door
like righeued deer conscious of their destitute
dtion and unfitness for the gaze Of Strangers This
is no fancy picture, but plain matter of fact. The
men excessively jealous which makes it difficult
to get opportunity to converse with the women.
have been able however, to steal brief interviews
with few of them, two being "spiri,ual" wives of
polygamous husbands Slight as was the opportun
ty to converse with them, they found time to ex-
press their secret adherence Of the whole system,
and their earnest desire to be rescued from its deg
radations.
