TRUMAN HENRY SAFFoRD.-Our readers will
remember Truman Henry Stafford, formerly of
Royaltou, this State, the wonderful boy who
some years since created such a sensation by his
marvellous faculty of solving, almost instantly, the
largest and most difficult problems in figures
Mr.. Stafford has been for some years connected
with Harvard College, and we find in the Cam
bridge Chronicle, the following notice of his re-
cent appointment to an Assistant Professorship in
that in stituton
The Board of Ogerseers of Harvard College on
Thursday last, confirmed the appointment of
Truman Henry Stafford, as Assistant Profess
or of Astronomy at the Observatory. Pro.
ieSsor Saf'rd is widely known as the emf
nent and learned mathematician whose early
youth gave such wonderful proof of mathematical
genius. He has been engaged at the Observa-
tory for some years past, during which time he
has contributed much to the advancement of the
oretlcal and obseryatonal astronomy, bis re-
sea- ches on the perturbations of Sirius and his
discovery of FeronIa, being among his recent la
bors invested with popular interest. He is the
fourth person who has been officially connected
with the Observatory since it went into operation
10 1886.

TREATY WITH LIBERIA.-The treaty between
the United States and Liberia is officially pro-
mulgatcd. There ia to be perpetual peace aud
friendship and reciprocal freedom of commerce
between the contracting parties, and they bind
themselves to treat each other on the footing OF
the most favored nations, including the full pro-
lection of persons and property.
Our government engages never to interfere
unless solicited by that OF Liberia in the affairs
between the Aboriginal inhabitants of Liberia
in the territory and jurisdiction Of that republic,
and citizens of United States residing therein are
desired to abstain from all such intercourse with
the Aboriginal inhabitants as will tend to vio-
lations of the law and disturbances of the peace
of the country.

Tell the whole Story.

Why do the peace men and journals say
nothing OF the sutferlpgs, Of the losses, of the
Encouragement, OF the dangers and defeats
OF the enemy ? They profess great alarm at
our deprecated currency they point to the
rise In the price Of gold-which their own
gambling speculations and evil prognostica.
lions have In good part produced-but take
no notice of the price Of gold or the state of
currency among the rebels. They exclaim
that calico Is getting dear with US, but they
never tell their readers that it has long been

against war tax which makes coffee Cost Ms

Such even-handed diffusion of knovIclg
would not suit the purposes of the gentry who
have come lately to be called difusionists.
These persons, who are so afraid of the en-
envy that they beseech n people of twenty
millions to humble themselves in the dust to

4 tribute to heroes who in battle fall,
Midst the fray and the thickest of fight;
Midst shrieks of the wounded, the dying's last
Nobly battling for country and right call,
On the roll of bright honor they leave US
their names
Written red on Columbia S scroll
Leaving watchwords for freemen, the bright
ness of fame,
Till centuries onward shall roll.
The first who to answer the call with cheer
Rushed forward to rank midst the best,
The first that fell stricken in noble career,
The Patriots sunk to their rest. weep,
Dig them a grave where the willow shall
Where the zephyrs shall pass gently by,
Where the brook flowing onwards in harmo-
ny greets
With its gentle and sweet melody.
Carve them a name, raise monument there,
That will tower through ages to come,
Strike low the hand that in hatred would
To defle or profane their last home. dare
Bid them IL last farewell, breathe full
For those who lie under the sod, [praycr
Forthosc who sleep peacefully, silently there,
Till the day they return to their God.
