The LAST READINe.-The Bible
gives audience and comfort in life to
all who love it, and in dying hour il
gives support which can be had from
no other source. The following Incl
dent is beautiful illustration
In one of the coal mines in Eng
land, youth about fifteen years OF
age was working by the side of his
father, who was a pious man, and
governed and educated his family ac-
cording to the Word of God.
The father was in the habit of car
rying with him small pocket Bible,
and the son, who had received ono al
the Sabbath School, initiated his faith
er in this. Thus he always had the
sacred volume with him, and when
ever enjoying q season of rest from
labor, he read it by the light Of his
lamp. They worked together in a
newly opened section Of the mine, and
the father had just stepped aside to
procure tool, when the arch above
suddenly fell between them, SO that
the father supposed his child to be
crushed. He ran toward the place
and called to his son, who at length
responded from under dense mass OF
earth and coal.
"My son." cried the father, care
you living?"
eyes, father, but my legs are under
a rock"
"Where is your lamp, my son ?"
1T is still burning, father"
"What are you doing, my son ?"
Slam reading my Bible, father, and
the Lord strengthens me-"
These were the last words Of that
Sabbath School scollar He was suf-
located.

President johnson to the Colored
Delegation.


The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Commercial AdrertiSey
speaks as follows of President John
sons interview with the colored dele
CATION:
Yesterday delegation Of "African
pastors" got rather more than they
bargained for, as the President, with
out saying a word about giving them
plain, old fasm88fasGde vdRaye them NJ. g
that too many of the freed people
were "inclined to become loafers and
depend upon the Government to take
care of them" and that they must
understand that freedom simply
means liberty to go to work and enjoy
the product of your own hands. -
This looks like discontinuance of the
cost of enormous quantities of rations
that have been issued to contrabands
since Mr.. Stanton has controlled the
War Department. The President
made no allusion to negro suffrage,
directly or indirectly. But he did in
cline toward what the more radical
Republicans have regarded as the
heretical idea of Senator Doolittle and
the Blairs- colonization. Those who
desire to see the African race placed
on an equality with the European
race on this continent, especially those
who hope for an ultimate amalgama-
ton, do not relish the Presidents ex-
preston of the hope that-should the
two race not get along together-the
African races shall be gathered to-
gether in cline and country suited
to them.

SALT AS FERrrtIzER. Prof. Mapes
recently remarked, in the course of a
discussion on this subject, that in the
reign of George Ill, the farmers of
England paid half a guinea bushel
for salt to be used as a fertilizer, and
laws were passed that no turnpike
should charge toll on wagons loaded
with salt designed for this use. To
this day these laws are in force, and
even railroads are required to trans
port salt for manure at less than their
other merchandise freight.

A. HEALTHY SIGN.

One ofthe most encouraging. signs
of the times,is the manifest disposition
on the part of the press and the peo-
pie, without distinction of party, to
6ssountenance the practice of trying
civilians by secret military tribunals.
III ever there was any reason, which
we do not believe, for proceedings so
clearly in violation Of constitutional
rights, it certainly can no longer exist.
The sentence of MiIhgan, Bowles and
Horsey Of Indiana for aIledged COM
plicity with treason was the last act,
as it is hoped it may be the last act for
all time, of this character.
The character of the sentence passed
upon these men was generally known
for the first time when the order was
issued to hang them on Friday the
18th, at indianapolis. The announce
ment as Logansport paper, drawing
it very mild, says, was received with
surprise and regret by large portion
Of our citizens.
The order was looked upon every
whore by large majority Of the peo-
pie as uncalled for and unnecessary
especially harsh when compared with
the mild terms granted to men who
have been for years in arms against
the Union. Aside from this consid-
Grafton, the character of the tribunal
which tried and condemned Mr.. Mill
gan and his associates excited among
prominent republicans a question OF
its legitimacy. Condemned for want
Of jurisdiction by the Democracy OF
the entire country, heightened Repub-
lican papers now denounce trials for
political offences by military tribunals
composed too often Of men who would
not be permitted to act as jurors in
a case involving merely the right of
property. The character of the tribu-
nal which sentenced Milligan and his
associates, is not SO far above suspicion
of political bias as to form an excep-
ton to the general rule.
If Milligan, Dowles and Horsey are
guilty Of treason, they should be con-
victed before civil tribunal having
jurisdiction, by jury of honest men,
under the forms prescribed by civil
law, in the district where the alleged
offense is committed, and no one will
be found to question the correctness
of any sentence that may result from
such trial.
Prominent Republicans of Cincin-
natl and elsewhere were enabled,
however, to bring sufficient influence
to bear to prevent the execution Of
the sentence. 1t is to be hoped the
time will speedily come when some
higher motive than that of partizan
influence, will be efficient to stop such
valuations of the law of the land,
