One Of the most encouraging "signs OF
the times" is, that steps are being taken
to reduce expenditures no longer necessary
in the prosecution of the war. Useless Of
ficials are being dismissed daily, and the
ex penses of the various Departments
brought down TO the closest requirements,
The Secretary of the Navy has already
ordered the dismissal oil such chartered
steamers as are no longer necessary to the
public service, and in their train viii follow
a host of unnecessary officials connected
with them. The army, too, is to be great.
ly diminished in numbers. as the times Of
enlistment expire. The country may con-
gratulate itself, that, with the prospect Of
returning peace, great reduction of Ma
tional expenses will follow. With the
permanent settlement Of our troubles, a
system of the most rigid economy will be
expected and demanded by the people from
those in authority. ,.5

The SLAYER Of riooth.

Tie Albany Evening journal Qlepublican)
thus notices the attempt that has been made
to manufacture hero out Of Corbett, the
slayer of Booth. It says; ........
ut is extremely laughable 10 see what
ridiculous pains are taken for the laudaLion
Of Boston Corbett, who shot Booth. We
are treated 20 history OF his early llie II
circumstantia narrative Of his religions con.
version a graphic delineation Of his pe ersonal
pecuiarities, and u daily bulletin respecting
his present condition and sayings. 1t ap
pears that Corbett is very eccentric chap.
Among his peculiarities is that OF dis0beying
orders and going II on his own hook'--a
quality not supposed to be the highest ele
ment of soIdiersbip. When Booth was shut
up in the burning harm, around which
stood twenty eight men, waiting for him
to emerge, as he must soon have done, Cor
bett was posted at certain point, and told
10 stay there instead OF doing 80, he made
an eccentric movement TO the back Of the
building, got q favorable position beside O
crevice, drew bead on the murderer, O
splendid mark, as he stood motionless in the
elare--and shot him, Perhaps as one roman
tic correspondent asserts, he 'oiferel up Q
mental prayer for the soul Of Booth as he
pulled the trigger" All things considered
the assassin could not, perhaps, have beer
better disposed Of But II really is sugges
tive proof Of the disposition to manufactur,
heroes ont of small material, that this rasl
act Of disobedient soldier should be mad,
a pretext for his Qualification as thougl

The Dayton (Ohio) Journal has neVor heard
of but one political assassination fore the
murder Of President Lincoln, and that was
the Rev Mr. Lovejoy, in Illinois, in 1885. BY
way Of refreshing its memory, which seems to
he as bad as it's principles are shocking, we
will call its attention to tho assassination OF
Mr.. j. f. Bollmcyer the excellent and talent
ed editor of the Dayton Empire, who Wa as-
sassinated by political opponent in 1868, in
lis own city, That assassination OF good
man, we are confident, the journal never con
demned. - Cincinnati Enquirer.
The journal never condemned the as
sassination of Bollmeyer, nor have any OF
its party, that we have ever heard Of. Yet
Bollmeycr's life was Just as dear to him
and his family as that of Lincoln. Why
the journal did not record this case in Its
brief catalogue Of political assassina-
tions," we are at a loss to know. II is
charitable to presume that the editor must
have forgotten tor, at least, did not
want to remember it.

And cyery foot he had, sir,

And sold 1t for thousand pounds.
The wool that grew upon his tail,

He wove ten thousand yards of it,
And wove it in day.
And in this old rams horn, sir,
Was often stored away,
Five hundred bushels of corn, sir,
And fifty tons Of hay
The man who killed this ram, sir,
Was drowned in his blood,
And thousand more good people, sir,
Were washed away IN the food.

Must have been very rich,

There was no strength to speak but
the head shook slow negative, and Silas

clasp what Yesterday, living and warm,
called him "father."
A gloomy man was he as he walked

From the Watchman and Reflector.
Unto Death.

GntO Ieutn.
There came knock at the bolted
door.
''Silas Sias,' said a weak, tremulous
voice; "don't punish him any more"
$50 down stairs, Sarah," was the
response, in loud tones, between the
blows 81 tell you, I'll whip the devil
out of bim.7
80, my poor boy 20, my poor by"
moaned the woman, turning from the
door, unable to hear the cries within !;
80 be beaten that way by one who never
could command himself"
Sarah went down stairs, trembling all
over. The look Of anguish in her faded
face was horrible TO See. In her cradle
sat a beautiful child-a little girl, nursing
a wooden doll Sarah caught the little
one up passlonatcly, as she cried:
"Ah, if he should lay hands on you,
my precious. delicate child, it would be
the death of me-"
Presently her husband came down.
His face was red, and his eyes shining
luridly with passion. His lips were set
with the determination of an unalterable
will: Sarah said nothing, but quietly
put her child into the cradle and went
about her work.
"You'd let him 90 hcadlong to the
devil, be said, hoarsely, moment after
''Silas," she said, reproachful glance
in her wild gray eyes, "what did you
beat him for ?"
"Iou know-bccause he swore."
Silas, did you ever think you taught
him tc swear p
"Don't 90 at me with your preaching.
Whatever do, that boy shall mind me
| always said that if ever had II child
he should mind me; and he SHALL if he
dies for it,"
80, Sllas !" - the woman shivered
from head to foot. IL could have made
him so sorry" she walled, the tears run
hing down her checks
"Yes, with soft word or two you'd
have got him whining, l dare say, but
he'd forgotten it in an hour. Now I've
given him a lesson he'll never forget"
80, Silas, what's that ?"
The wcman's eyes seemed starting out
OF her pale face-her lips grew blue-she
shook like an aspen leaf in the gale Silas
grew pale-he, too, shuddered-for the
fearful cry-the shadow so swift and
dark that had darkened the window for
moment, struck a deadly chill to his
breast.
'My boy" moaned the mother, and
rushed past Silas, out into the yard. Yes,
it was he; pale and still, now, save a
faint quiver of the little limbs now and
then. Outraged, maddened by the bru-
tai beating he had been subjected TO, the
poor child, still singing with pain, had
climbed from the window on high shed,
with vague desires 10 fly away from the
cruel hand that had dealt so numerically
by him. Dizzy with tears, his foot Slip
ped, his hand grew nerveless, and here he
was, distorted, dying--a fair young life
that with the proper training might have
borne fruit of great purposes and heroic
deeds.
All night the child laid speeches. -
All night Silas cowered-a guilt-stricken
manly his bedside. Just as the first
faint light of dawn came in between the
curtains, the pale lips moved and whis-
pered, "Mother."
She went closer to the cold face, already
damp with death. He flung his arms
around her neck, gathered up his eypir-
ing strength, as he cried out, with soul
piercing whisper, ''Don't let papa beat
! me again"
