They seem to have come to us from our Anglo

the restless activity and predominance of the race
There is charming little book by Emile Sourestre

most delightful, genial picture of simple pleasures
and moderate desires - of humble but serene
enjoyment and homey yet blessed charities

1t deserves all praise and gratitude-but in
order to ask you, whether you think the scenes of
such volume could be laid in any part of this vast
continent, which tolls and grows prosperous be-
meath the pressure of AnglO-Saxon energy and
institutions. Can we conceive such book to be
the truthful story of life led within the atmos-
phere OF any great city of our confederaton-a
life OF contentment, in the pettiest fortunes-re-
duced to the first and actual necessities vet bapny
contelnplative, useful, independent respected and
seli-respecting? Surely not. Such things are not
the growth OF the principles under which we live
and move. They could never be developed under
the influence of social and political economy
which infames one half the intelligent manhood of
our country with the hot thirst of public life
whlch stIgmatzes every man as a drone whose ex-
lstence does not burn, like heated axle from the
friction of ceaseess revolution. Their impossihiIi
ty is leading characteristic of our especial race
more than of any other that has ever sweated be-
neath the sun. 1t has given to the great nation
from which we chiefly draw our national descent
and to which we indebted for those immortal
institutions, dyspepsia and trial by jury-its place
OF honor among the mighty ones of the earth 1t
mas swept the forests from half hemisphere
around us, and has filled it with mighty, feverish,
restless. pad people-capabe of everything but
rational enjoyment and tranquil happiness
Is there a nation, think you save ours, on the
lace OF the civilized earth, that has no national
amusements except politics and steamboat excur-
sions?-no manly simple, common sports. which
win WIN crowds on holidays to robust and honest exer-
else and joy?-no links between boyhood and man
hood, in the remembrances of common and innocent
pieasuref We have, of course the exotic enjoy
ments OF music and the drama-though in but
modified degree, since large part of the commu-
nty are too good, and very large part too busy or
TOO bad to take genuine and healthy interest in
them But these have come to us-such as they
are: They are not our own. We have, in fact, no
national holidays, of a political complexion.
and the sports Of those days are fierce excitements

OF The disturbances at Harper's Ferry
are at an end. Quiet is restored to that ro-
mantle village, and soon things will resume
their usual appearance there. The five
prisoners who fell into the hands Of the
troops were despatched on Friday under q
strong escort, to Charlestown, Virginia,
where they are to be indicted for murder and
tried. The Circuit Court opens there to-
morrow. Brown, who is not dangerously
wounded, is among them. They are TO be
prosecuted by the State, and, in case Of their
not being convicted capitally, are to be hand
ed over to the United States authorities to
be tried for treason. A letter from District
Attorney Ould which is published in the
Constitution says :-"There are only five
prisoners, three wounded and two unhurt.-
Six citizens have been killed, and one ma
rine. All the citizens were killed outside
the limits of the United States territory in

By the overland mail we have later papers
from California, from which we CLEAN the
following ite ems:
The property of the late Senator Broder-
ick In San Francisco amounts to $l30,O0O,
encumbered by $S5,oOO Of mortgages
This is set forth in the petition of d. c.
Coulton, filed in the Probate Court. 1t also
alleges that the only relatives and heirs-at-
law are Edmund Wclch and Lucy Brown,
cousins in the second degree. The said
cousins append their assent to the petition,
as do all the creditors.
These proceedings, we suppose, ore based
upon the belief that Mr.. BroderiCk had left
no will. He was uniformly careful in such
respects. He certainly did make will be.

Smith. 1t is the opinion of one who has

or The papers of Boston and New York

OF The papers of Boston and New York
are having On amiable controversy in regard
to the characteristics of their respective cit
les. A Boston paper summing up the mag.
niiude of the style with which every thing
is done in New York, says:
We very readily comprehend that New
York is a town respectable in point and
ize. 1t is a great town and modest town.
1t is an elastic town and most circumspect
town. 1t is larger town than Babylon and
more orderly than Sodom. They do moth.
ing 10 a small way. One wheel Of a New
York omnibus would disdain to come of
alone; the whole vehicle would go to pieces
at once, like the "one horse shay" to the
great CONSERVATION of the passengers, and
the infinite delight of the metropolitan
press. If young man is defaulter there
he cones in to the tune of $65,o00. Thi'
magnitude which pervades everything in thu
"metropols," lends a portion Of its great
ness to q portion Of the "metropoliton'
newspapers.

Death from IL wound Inflicted by
n Rooster.

Some time ago statement was published,
taken from the Newport Gazette, Perry CO.,
Pennsylvania, to the effect that Mr.. Black
of Newport had died in consequence of an
incision by rooster with his spurs in he
arteries OF the hand, initiating, previous to
his death, the Tapping and Growing OF a
rooster. The statement has gone the rounds
of the Press, accompanied in most by COM
ments of an incredulous nature. But it ap-
pears to have been true, nevertheless. The
Harrisburg Patriot is informed by gentle
man from Newport, who was present at Mr..
Blacks death, that the account published in
the Gazette of that place is strictly true in
every particular; that Mr.. Black suffered
the most excruciating agony, and that he
made attempts to crow, Tapping bis arms
and making noise so similar to a rooster
that those outside the house were persuaded
to believe it was one, until he was relieved
by death.

writes, in a recent letter from Switzerland,
that Garrison, the editor Of the Boston Lib

done as much for the moral development Of

the "norul development OF the nation" for
which Mr.. Garrison labors, and for which
he is so highly extolled BY the great Repub'

engraved on it, in old style, these words :

plowed up by one of the servants on aplant'

TILDEN, in the 89th year of his oge.
Mr.. II. was born in Lebanon, Ct. In the
spring Of 1900, he came to Hiram, and that
summer cleared five acres of and-the first
clearing ever done in that township. In
the fall he returned to Connecticut, Ond
came back to Hiram the next spring, and
during that summer cleared FIVE acres more
and built log house, with the expectation
of moving TO Ohio. In the fall he again re.
turned to Connecticut. In coming TO and
returning from Ohio, both times the jour
news were performed on foot.
For some reason, Mr. 7. did not move to
Ohio until 1895, since which time he has
lived in Hiram and Nelson, until his death.
He was man of strong mental and physical
constitution, and of active habits. He died
of old age, and Of thirteen children, eleven
