I b9A Played out set Of Men.

Ii is worthy OF reflection, says
the Cleveland Ledder, that of the
men who we're prominent in the
inau uSuration OF the rebellion, bu,
few are found in high places, and
few, il any, retain anything like
the reputation with which they
were once accredited. JYancey is
played out.-roombs is heard oc.
casionally growing ut the rebel
authorities. Cobb-is tit to com.
mand Georgia militia. Bragg has
abont quenched his light. Beau.
regard is a worn-out military hero.
His name at first struck terror to
the hearts of children and their
grandmothers breckenridge whom
the South want for President, has
been Watching Southwestern Vir-
ginia, and is also about usued up.
Davis aud BENJAMIN are about the
only ones in high places, who were
instrumental in bringing on the war
and tho rebels themselves would
gladly get rid Of Davis it they
couls : When tho began, il was
frequently said we had neither gen.
erals nor stateswen. Now wo have
both, and the world cohfesses them
such. We have a Presidential
Cabinet, for tho most part, in high
esteem'at home abroad, We have
Grant and Sherman, and Sheridan
and, Hancock land Thomas and
Meade and Terry and hosts OF 9th
crs. We have also Farragut and
Porter and Dupont and Foote and
Goldsborough. The rebel leaders,
however, are about used up.
Thay have played their part.

GOVprnOr Wise

Ex-Governor and General H. A. Wise, of
Virginia, defends himself warmly from the
charge of being traitor. Believing sincerely
in secession as a State right he was lust as
honest in his opinions as the most loyal consol-
datlonist According to this view of his obi
cations to this Government, there never can be
such thing as treason. The sincerity or in
sincerity OF man belief has little to do with
his political crimes John Brown was as sin
cere in his opinions as Governor Wise. but.
when John undertook to invade the State and
usurp the powers of government in Virginia,
Wise hung him. In State matter wrong head
edness Is as much crime as bad-heartedness,
because erroneous doctrines, practically enfOr-
ced, may do vast amount of mischief Ia
king up arms against the United States Gov
ernment Is cOnstitutionally defined to be treas
on, and as the Ex-Governor is great stickler
for the Constitution, he will have to square his
account satisfactorily with that instrument be-
fore he can claim exemption from the charge
The attempted revolution has produced more
than one change, for Wise is heartily rejoiced
that it has killed slavery He had even made
up his mind to be an emancipationist and ad-
vOcate the extinction of slavery, notwithstan-
ding that he promised to hang every abolition
lst who should come into the State preaching
such sentiments. Wise says:
" had determined, if could help it, my
descendants should never be subject to the hu
initiation have been subject to by the weak
ness if not the wickedness of slavery and while
cannot recognize as lawful and humane the
violent and shocking mode in which it has been
abolished, yet | accept the fact most heartily
as an accomplished one, and am determined
not only 10 abide by it and acquiesce in it, but
to strive by all the means in my power to make
it beneicent to both races and blessing eSpe,
clally to our country | untcignedly rejoice at
the fact, and am reconcilod to many of the worst
calamities of the war, because | am now CON
vinced that the war was a special providence
of God, unavoidable by the NATIONS at either
extreme, to tear loose from us a black idol from
which we could never have been separated by
any other means than those of fire and blood,

PeriIs ofa Rope.WaIker.

The Buffalo Courier says: we had always
supposed that the perilous feats performed by
Harry Leslie were Of themselves attended with
all the danger necessary to make them sensa-
tional enough for the people; but very recent
experience of the daring rope walker IN her
Maiestv's lominions goes to show that we are
more liberal in our notions of the thing than
they are there. :.
Thought he would delight the people of Bay
field, G. W, on the Grand Trunk Railway !;
and having stretched his rope across the James
river n distance of six hundred feet, he pro-
nosed not only to perform his customary feats
of walking over it, but also to astonish the ma
tives with a display of his acrobatic skill. At
the time appointed, he and his balance pole
started across the river together, and upon reach
ing the centre Of the rope, he enacted all that
was set down on the programme; but upon
nearing the opposite bank he saw crowd of
men who were evidently excited, and could
hear them say, 'D-n him, he's the devil,
cut the rope cut him down. &c. Leslie con-
tinued to move along on his rope, but before
he could reach its terminus, the slender bridge
was cut and he was allowed to fall distance
of nearly twenty five feet In his descent he
caught hold of tree, and thence rolled down
the embankment to the water edge.
Finding that he was pursued by the ruff
ans he made his escape in the woods, and at
ter travelling about mile and a-half he man
aged to get horse and buggy, with which he
reached Seaforth, Here he procured assis
tance, and upon returning to the vicinity o

What we owe 10 the East.

We forget how many contributions to our
own comforts are of Oriental origin. Their
commonness hides them from our view. If
the American wishes to know how much he
owes to the Asiatic, he has only to cast glance
at an hour of his daily live. The clock which
summons him from his bed in the morning
was the invention of the East, as also were
clepsydra and sun-dials. The prayer for his
daily bread, that he has said from his infancy,
first rose from the side of Syrian mountain.
The linens and cotton with which he clothes
himself, though they may be very. fine, are in
ferior to those that have been made from time
immemorial in the looms of India The silk
was stolen for his benefit from China. He
could buy better steel than that with which he
shaves himself in the old city of Damascus,
where it was first invented. The coffee he ex-
poets at breakfast was first grown by the Ara
bians, and the natives of Upper India prepared
the sugar with which he sweetensit. Aschool-
boy can tell the meaning of the Sanscrit words
''sacchara canda." If he prefers tea, the vir-
tues OF that excellent leaf we're first pointed out
by the industrious Chinese They also taught
him how to make and use the cup and saucer
in which to serve it. His breakfast tray was
lacquered in Japan. The egg he is breaking
was laid by fowl whose ancestors were first
domesticated by the Malaecans, unless she may
have been--though that will not alter the case
"a modern Shanghai. IF there are preserves
and fruits on his board, let him remember with
thankfulness that Persia first gave him the
| cherry, the peach, the plum. Ifin any ofthest
pleasant preparations he detects the favor ot
aleohol let it remind hiIn that that substance
was first distilled by the Arabians. A thou

enact laws of restriction in the use of intoxica
t;n0 drinks, the Prophet of Mecca did the same

THE CaNTINGENT DUEL-There is curious
duel now pending in Boston which began ten
years ago. Mr. A, a bachelor, challenged
Mr.. b, a married man with one child, who
replied that the conditions were not equal
that he must necessarily put more at risk with
his life than the other, and he declined. a
wear aftcrward he received a challenge from
Mr.. A, who stated that he too had now q
wife and child, and he supposed therefore the
objection of Mr. B-was no longer valid Mr..
b. replied that he now had t,co children-con-
sequently the inequality still existed The
next year Mr. A renewed his challenge, hav-
ing now two children also; but his adversary
had three The matter when last heard from
was still going on the numbers being six to
seven, and the challenge yearly renewed Mrs.
B. has great g responsibilities,
