A Dirty Spot Discovered on the Political
Sun.

While the aroused masses Of all New England
are, without u solitary exception as VIC sup
posed, declaring with loud acclaim for tho de-
lence of the CoEatitution ard the Union
while oil party predileetione have been magma
nimously thrown aside in Wow Of tho common
danger, and while tuc old Democratic party
have not only nobly come forward, but, through
her Buffers, Cushings, Hallots, and BoutwcIls,
aud their spirited followers, almost taken the
lead in the march Of Che swelling hosts Gf de-
lenders, who would have been looking for one
dark and dirty spot to dim the ependors of our
present political sun of New Eugland-who
would have expected to sec an exhibition so dis
cordant with the general feeling, so behind the
times, and so dercgatory to the general patriot
ism of the locality, as the one ead to have been
given at Il political meeting Of Ill parties at
Hanover, on Monday ol the present week, )" to
see what action the town should take in relation
20 the support OF the Government and the over
throw of rebels and traitors'
At this meeting, as reported to the Boston
Journal of Wednesday morning, Il set of reso,
lutions tor sustaining the Government, compar-
atiyey mild in character, and carefully guarded
against all party illusions, was introduced for
discussion and adoption when the Democratic
party of the town, save several who would have
been honorable exceptions If present, rallied il
opposition to the resolutions, going, as they
termed it, 10 support 8 A REPUBLICAN WAR .
And the vote, when taken, stood for the resolu
tions, ayes S4-nays IS. Eight majority 1t
was strictly party vote, except in the instance
OF one Democrat who voted with the Republi-
cans.
Can this be any part Of the proyerlia!ly pat
riotic State, that can boast Of her Langdons,
her Pierces. and her Starks of Revolutionary
memory! What political malaria can have
fallen on the once konored Hanover What
strange teachings at this place can have pro-
duced this effect Let her enjoy all the glory
she may reap from the uneoyiable distinction of
b,ing al ..4nost evenly divided community on
the momentous question now at issue before our
endangered country.

A DIGGER BELLE.-The editor of the San
Juan Press recently had the honor of visit
from venerable Digger warrior and his
" beautiful and accomplished" daughter, who
is thus described " AS she stood and gazed
at the type settlers, an audible snicker mani
tested her surprise. The three front fingers of
her left hand were thrust into her mouth, from
which a stalactic stream of saliva escaped
dripping to the foor while those of the right
were on manipulating tour Of investigation
about the crown of her head Her features
protruded from a square aperture Of massive
and tangled locks, like blurred picture from
smoke-soiled frame, and were Enthusiastically
bedaubed with vegetable dye or primal pencil
ing. Her dress was slatternly calico gown,
changed from its original color by contact
with the grass of COW pastures and her feet
| something smaller than those of the COLOSSUS,
were bare, hard and horny, with stubbed,
nailless toes, spreading out at the ends in the
shape Of Italian castanets. Her position was
relieved, goose fashion, by changing from one
foot to the other. There she stood veritabe
female type of her tribe"

The ART OF BEING PoLITE.-First and fore
most. don't try to be polite. 1t will spoil all.
If you keep overwhelming your guests with os-
tentious entreaties to make them feel at home,
they will very soon begin to wish they were
there. Let them find out that you are happy
to see them by your actions, not by your words.
Always remember to let bashful people alone
at first it is the only way to set them at their
ease. Trying to draw them out has sometimes
the contrary effect Of driving them out of the
house. Leading the conversation is q danger
Gus experiment. Better follow in its wake
and if you want to endear yourself to takers,
learn to listen well. Never make a fuss about
anything never talk about yourself, and al
ways preserve perfect composure, no matter
what solecism or blunders another may commit
Remember that it is very foolish proceeding
to lament that you cannot offer to your guests
q better house, furniture, Or viands. 1t is fair
to presume that the visit is to you-not to
these surroundings Give people pleasant
imdression of themselves and they will be pref
ty sure to go away with pleasant impression
of your qualities. On Just such slender wheels
as these the whole fabric of society turns. 1t
is our business, then, to keep them in perfect
order

PHYsIoGNoMY.-Eye living creature oD
the globe is compelled to carry its character
at its mast head. There is no misprint in the
book of Nature. Her language is unmistaka
Bile. Every creature has its own peculiarities
by which its characteristics and habits may
be determined. Behold the difference in the
fowls of heaven and the beasts of the earth
Here is the eagle, with its savage beak OF
talons, and the gentle cooling dove. The ter
rible lion and the timid hare The immense
elephant and the tiny quadruped. Who fails
to read their various characters, stamped thus
indellibly upon them And when we come tc
man, we find that the more he resembles any
species or class of the lower creation, the more
his character approximates to theirs. Every
thought and emotion leaves its impress alike
on the soul and face. There can be no evasion
Of the law" The bloated sot, and the up
right man, the ignoramus and the man ot
thought, the sturdy yeoman and the delicate
female-all present themselves in proof of this
theory. A little attention to the science would
save many an honest citizen from the sly, de-
signing and selfish villain, and give men a
better understanding of each other.

We read that upon certain occasion, the
Athenians having appointed many lawyers and
legislators TO important generalships, Antis>
themes, in the Public Assembly, moved that a
law be passed declaring all the jackasses in
Athens-horses. Being called upon to explain
the meaning of so singular motion, he very
gravely said that it was just as easy to make
good horses out Of jackasses by law, as it was
to make good generals out of inexperienced
civilians by law.

modest old maids will stand no chance at all :"

Renaissance of Washinton Irving.

Washington Irving, if the New York cor
respondent of the London Telegraph may be
believed, did not refuse himself the tender pas
sion. He says:
"When young he became intimately ac-
quainted with daughter Of one Of the Knick-
erbockers of the time, sturdy in family and
wealth. With the young lady he pressed his
suit successfully; and in time the father might
have succumbed, despite the fact that he re-
garded the resources with which Irving propo-
posed to support wife too slender to main
tain the style of luxury to which the daughter
had been accustomed. In an evil hour, as it
seemed, Dr. Creighton a minister of the Es-
tablished Church, despite his Scottish parent
age, fell in with the gentleman whom Irving
was so desirous of making his father-in-l n-law.-
The clergyman's eyes were dazzled by the
beauty of the same young lady who had won
the heart of the aspiring aushor, and the eyes
of the father were blinded to all other consi.
derations by the wealth which DR.. Creighton
offered together with his heart. Time and
persistency pushed Irving from the scene and
the girl, obedient to her fathers urgent entrea-
tics, gave his preference to the precedence of
her own.
But the saddest part of the story remains to
be told. When the question of the marriage
portion was under consideration, the father
stated that the family had been tainted with
insanity and to guard against the evils of harsh
treatment, should bis daughter be afflicted with
the same malady, insisted that certain sum
should be set aside, which, in the event of such
a calamity, should be devoted to her mainten-
ance on her estate on the banks Of the Hudson,
and that in no event should she be removed
from the mansion there. These terms the ar
dent suitor, hoping for the best, complied with.
1t may have been the result of hereditary
disease, or the effort to crush out and kill
her young hopes, but not many years elapsed
before the wife was raying maniac. She be-
came so violent that confinement was necessary,
and the family mansion was converted into an
asylum, DR.. Creighton building another house
on distant part of the estate. The unfertu-
nate woman is still living, and on quiet nights
her shrieks may be heard along the banks of
the river-almost audible, too, at the secluded
retreat which Irving occupied. No heart but
his own knows how much the sad event may
have tinged bis own life, or to what exertions
it may have urged him in attempting to drown
all remembrance of his own disappointment
DR.. Creighton has for years oiIiciated at the
humble chapel where Irving worshipped, and,
singularly enough, read the burial service for
his former rival

VALUE OF TRAINED Standardization, in
his History of Napoleon, cites the language oi
that great general in discussing the question
of how much time is required to make relia-
bic soldier. In a conversation respecting the
naval conscription, Truget observed Much
longer time is required to form q sailor than a
soldier The latter may be trained in all his
duties in six months Napoleon replied =
q There never was SO great a mistake. No
thing can be more dangerous than to propo-
gate such opinions. If acted upon, they would
speedily lead to the dissolution of the army
At Jemappe there were $4,000 French against
5000 Austrians During the first four years
of the war, all the hostile operations were con
ducted in the most ridiculous manner. 1t was
neither the volunteers nor the recruits who
saved the republic; it was the 10000 old
troops Of the monarchy, and the discharged
veterans whom the revolution impelled to the
frontier. Part Of the recruits deserted, part
died, and small portion only remained, who
in the process Of time, formed soldiers. Why
have the Romans done such great things
Because six years instruction were, with them
required to make soldier. A legion compo
sed of three thousand such men was worth
thirty thousand ordinary troops. With ffteer
thousand such men as the Guards, I would
everywhere beat forty thousand You will moi
find me engaged soon in war with an army o.

Close of a Remarkable Career.

A correspondent Of the London Times gives
the following particulars Of the extraordinary
career of an aged woman named Barnes, who
is now in q state of desttution, and in whose
case the Rev. Arthur r. Godson, No. F, Dew
onshire street, Portland Place, W., has inter-
ested himself. Sheridan knew her as a child,
and persuaded her father to apprentice her, at
the age of fourteen, to Mrs. Jordan, who train
ed her as Little Pickle" in The Spoiled
Child, and other minor characters. AT sixteen
she married John Simonds, a seaman of the
" Culloden, and accompanied him to the West
Indies, under Sir Edward Pellow, QIord FIX
mouth.) She was with her husband in the
!" Mars" at Trafalgar, and assisted in the last
Offices to Captain Duff, who was killed early
in the action. Her husband himself was killed
later in the day, leaving her with four sons
In 1903 she married Henry Bevan, soldier
in the Forty-second, and went with the regi-
ment to the Peninsular where she again be-
came mother. This child was killed in her
arms during the retreat on Corunna, and her
husband fell at the celebrated charge of the
Fiftieth and Forty second which drove the
French from the field. She attended on Sir
John Moore during his last moments, and was
present at his funeral. Here Captain Murray
was so struck with her youth and distress that
he told her if ever she was in difficulties to ap-
ply to him and be kept his promise to assist
her until his decease in 1913, since which time
she has been friendless After leaving the
Peninsula she became lady's maid to Mrs.
Smith, wife of the English Embassador at
Constantinople ; on their way there the wo-
men were taken prisoners in Italy. The mis-
tress escaped with a very mild form of bond
age, but Murat sent the maid to the hulks at
Toulon for six months OF her four sons by
the first marriage, two were killed in the
"Queen Charlotte at Algiers; the third fell
in the Twenty-third Regiment, in one of Lord
Coughs actions in India and the fourth, in
the Eleventh Hussars in the cavalry charge at
Balaklava. By her third husband, who is all
so dead, she has had three sons and daughter.
OF these the eldest was lost overheard from
Lord Proby's frigate, off Malta the second
and third in a collery, on their way from
Shields; and the daughter died in the service
of an English lady in the South of France"

YOUNG MAN, PAY ATTENTION Don't be a
loafer, don't call yourself a loafer, don't keep
loafers' company, and don't hang about loafng
places Better work hard for nothing ard
board yourself, than sit around, day after day,
or stand at corners with your hands in your
pockets. Better for your own mind, better for
your prospects. Bustle about means to have
anything to hustle for. Many a. poor physi-
clan has obtained a real patient by riding hard
to attend an imaginary one. A quire of blank
paper, tied up with red tape, carried under a
lawyers arm, may procure him his first case
and make his fortune. Quit groaning and
complaining, and keep busy and mind your
chances.
