NOBLE TRAIT OF CHARACTER 1t APP
pears from tho nineteenth general report
of the British Emigration Commissioners
that the amount of money RENTED by
Irish settlers in America, for assisting
the emigration offriends, to Ireland, du-
ring the ten preceding years, the sum
RENTED amounted in all TO forty-six
millions, ninety-fye thousand dollars.
We doubt whether family attachment
has ever before manifested Itself in such
manner and on such a scale, in the hiss
tory Of nations. Think of i'll The
great body Of Irish emigrants are poor
laborers, working on the railroads and
canals Of the country, and seeming to
superficial observers TO have scarcely any
sentiments or feelings 10 common with
their kind They have their faults, un-
fortunately for them, which lie mostly on
the surface while those IF most men do
not They come TO this country with
nothing, obtain employment at once, are
active, industrious and successful, and
the first use they make Of their money is
10 provide for those they have left be-
hind, and to bring them to a land where
they, too, can obtain and enjoy the re-
wards Of labor, and where the broken
family circle may be reunited under hap
pier auspices Could mobiles or princes
show more noble and royal trait Of
character? It ought 10 cover a multi
tudo Of sins, and atone for an occasional
excess in tho use Of the crothur, and in
vest with kind Of dignity even the

so many heads. Rich. Despatch.

A SlGnr WoRTn SEErNG-At the
Gibson county (Tennessee) Fair novel
spectacle was seen. 1t is thus described
by the Clarion:
=" About three o'clock Mr.. Steven
Meade and his wife entered tho ring,
followed by their twelve sons and two
daughters, each on fine gray steed, and
in the order of their ages. They pro
ceeded around the ring, while the band
struck up Hail Columbia, and drew W
in front Of the executive, when the pres.
ident made SEINE very appropriate re.
marks, after which the mammoth family
was yociferously cheered from one side
of the grounds to the other. We give Q
brief statement Of this family: The old
gentleman was born in 1898, and came
to this country in 1919. Mrs. Meade
was born in 1903. The two were mar
ried in 1921. The oldest son is 36 years
old, and the youngest IL. The older
daughter is 10, aud the younger II.
Eleven are married, and have twenty
two children. The fourteen children Of
Mr.. Meade were all born in Gibson
county, all now live here but one, and
are the best of citizens. None Of the
family have died, and all now look hale
and hearty"

EH- The Scientific American speaks Of
new invention for horse shooting, desig-
ned to obviate the continual driving Of
nails in the hoof, by which great injury is
sometimes inflicted upon valuable horses
by unskillful workmcn. A groove is
made in the under side Of the common
shoe, into which is fastened piece Of
iron The same width and shape as the
groove, only thicker and slightly curved
upwards, the junction forming complete
dovetail. The advantage Of this inner
shoe is that it is made 10 project beyond
the ordinary shoe, and when worn down
can easily be removed and replaced by
another without pulling off tho shoe from
the horses hoof.

A BULL AT SEA-A few years ago,
while sailing along the coast of Brazil,
in moderate weather, the mate Of our
vessel made kite, for the purpose of
pleasing the boys who were passengers
on board the ship. 1t was flying finely,
with liberal scope of Irvine, attached to
the mizzen mast head, much to.the amuse-
meat of the juveniles when an English
ship come ia sight She hosted her
colors and altered her course to intercept
us. When near enough, we both hove
to, the Englishman sending his boat,
manned with four men and the chief
mate. On reaching the deck, the first
officer asked for some tobacco but it
was apparent to every one that he was
sent ON board for another purpose. ~
After pacing the deck neryously for a
few moments, he mustered sufficient
courage to call the captain one side, and
inquired what he had flying over tho
stern? "Only kite, to please the chill
dren," was the reply Our skipper sen
me on board" said tho mate, )" thinking j
was a sort Of machine to get the longi

There was a rush, a crash, and they
were on the road side-t the horse man
gled corpse, the carriage thrown violent
y back several feet, Mr.. Cooke insensi-
BILE or the grass, and Mrs. Dayton on the
other side of the road, uninjured
Mrs. Dayton sat up, and with ner-

panion's name. He did not answer ~
She went to his side. ITo was still,
white, inscnsible, and She thought him
dead. With wild cry she raised his
bead to her breast, calling his name,

him to look at her. Then she looked
round for help. There was no house in
sight. Mrs. Dayton was not a woman
to spend many moments in useless grief
She soon recovered hor presence of mind
Her vinaigrette full of salts was hang
ing to her belt, and she drew out the
cork and tried its effect. Her compan-
ion was only stunned, and in few min
utes he was able to feel her hand on his
brow, hear her voice in his ear. He
kept perfectly still, his eyes closed, and
his breathing low. The most delicious
ecstacy was holding him quiet. The
low, sweet voice, but which would never
speak a word of preference for him, was
now saying:
Z" Horace, dear Horace speak to me
once more" Then there fell upon his
face a tear.
lie family opened his eyes. The next
Instant he regretted it, for he found his
head on the grass and Mrs, Dayton at
least FIVE feet from him.
I" Are you hurt?' she said quietly.
Had he been dreaming? Was this
the voice that said Horace, dear Horace ?
He sat up; he was not hurt, only
stunned, and in few moments he stood
beside her. Her veil was down, and he
could not see her face. GLOW are we
to get homer she asked, pointing to the
dead horse and broken carriage Her
voice tremblcd now, and the wind blew
aside her veil. Her eyes bore traces Of
weeping.
Horace forgot his wager, forgot their
awkward prcdicamcnt, forgot everything
but his love, and he poured it forth in
broken, passionate words Her heart
throbbed high with ecstacy, for she was
too great an adept in the art Of Irritation
herself not to be able to distinguish the
voice of real feeling; yet as she went on
the scene with Mrs Harrington secured
TO her, and sh9 stiaed back the eager
welcome her heart gave his words, and
said coldly:

sorry to cause you the loss of thousand
dollars, but Mrs. Dayton cannot accom-
pany the Saratoga party as Mrs Cooke

for moment Then in a low voice he
said:

Name it" was the eager reply.

TuE RELIGION OF PAYrNa DEDTs.-
One Of our religious exchanges has tho
following strong remarks on this subject.
They drive the nail in to the head and
clnch it:
"Men may sophisticatc as they please,
They can never make it right--aud all
the bankrupt laws ia the universe cannot
make it right--for them not to pay their
debts. There is a sin in this neglect as
clear and as deserving church discipline
as in stealing or false swearing. He
who violates his promise to pay, or with
holds the payment Of a debt when it is
in bis power to meet the engagement,
ought to be made to feel that in the sight
of all honest men, he is swindler. =
Religion may be very comfortable coat
under which to hide, butif religion does
not make man deal justly, it is not
worth having"

FrvrnAL ON HAYWOOD A letter il

FUNERAL OF HAYWOOD. A letter in
the Alexandria Gazette gives the follow
ing description of an unusual funeral
there:
The negro man Haywood, tho por-
ter connected with the railroad, who was
killed at Harper's Ferry, was buried here
on Wednesday with military honcrs. Ho
was hvorite with all who knew him,
and those who have travelled over the
road will now miss the laughing counte-
nance of old Haywood. The remains
were accompanied by the Morgan Cont
ncntals, Major B. d. Washington, and
and two other companies, one from VIM
chester and the other from Martinsburg.
The battalion was under the command
of Col. Moore. The fine band of music
connected with the Contineatals headed
the procession. and played some beauti-
full airs In the procession were the
mayor of the city, the officers of the re-
giment, in dnform, Mr.. Holiday, and
other leading citizens of this place. 1t
was an imposing sight to look upon, and
could our Northern countrymen have
witnessed the funeral of old Haywood,
and the hundreds who grathered around
the grave, and the respectful and serious
attention with which they listened to the
burial service, which was read by an old
colored preacher, there would be no such
fanatics as Brown and Cook"

There does undoubtedly now and then oc-

cases. Allowing to them all possible weight.
all they prove is this: That for one person. say
IN ten thousand, b Dth black and viii Q, slavery
is better than freedom We must take into
account also, in these cases the power Of hab-
it, as to which the Duke Of Wellington used
TO say that it was not only nature, but ten
times nature. During the times of the Indian
wars, there were repeated Instances OF children
carried off by the Indians, and who had grown
up among them, whom no persnasons, after
the restoration of peace, could induce to re-
turn to their parents while others who were
taken back, partly by entreatics and partly by
force, seized the first opportunity to run away
and to return to the Indians Bat would il
not be pressing n alters rather to- far to urge
