Golden and PnImerston.

Rev. DR.. Waddington, of London, in
a letter to the Boston Congregationalist,
relates the following ~annecdote of Golden,
showing the p%lainness with which he
talked when Palmerston asked him to ac-
cept Office;
On meeting Lord Palmerston, Mr..
Golden was told that a place was reserved
for him in the Ministry, and the veteran
statesman expressed his earnest desire
that the great Free Trader would accept
the position offered to him, and that all
would act tremendously. Mr.. Golden re-
piled in his frank manner that it was i'm
possible for him to unite with the Gov
eminent under the leadership of Lord
Palmerston. 81 may be wrong, my Lord"
he said, tbut before 1 went to America l
said you were the greatest impostor in
Europe, and that you cost millions Of
money, and were dear at q fraction of the
price. l may have been mistaken in nv
estimate, but it will not do to make the
discovery of such al error at the mo-
mont of accepting office"
''Ohl that is nothing, - replied the good
tempered Palmerston; you have not hit
me harder than Gibson, and he has joined
US"
THAT may be- said Golden; but 1
cannot think Of taking the appointment"
After a little further conversation, the
honest free trader retired, expressing his
admiration of the good natured Premier,
and promising to join an evening party at
the Cambridge House. but still infeIible
in his purpose not to take Office.

A Juvenile Murderer-A Little ,;irI
Murders Her Brother.

The following are the circumstances of
a murder recently committed in Litch-
field, Montgomery county, Illinois. A
bound girl, of the age of twelve or four
teen years, was one morning a week or so
ago scolded pretty severely for some mis-
demeanor, and finally was whipped with a
small rod. Everything passed off in the
morning well enough, withsut any further
difficulty. The girls special duty was to
take care of three little children; and 90
ing out to the barn, as wss her usual Gus
tom to a swing that had been prepared for
the children's use, she took the youngest
child IA boy and hung him in the swing
until dead, then ran TO the house and told
the mother of the child that a nan came
into the barn, took the child and hung it.
But as there could be no trace of a mans
track in or about the barn, the girl was
arrested, after which she confessed. and
said that she took this method Of redress
for the punishment she had received in
the morning. She now awaits trial in Jail.

Political Pro~rnmme.

Colonel John w. Forney, in a letter to
the Philadelphia Press, says that the
hopes of the Democrats in this coming
campaign for Governor are based upon
the assurance of President johnson that
his assistance viii be given them. They
claim that their nominee, Clymer, has had
repeated confidential interviews with
President johnson; and it is a matter of
notoriety that Mr.. Patterson, the Presi-
dents s%on-in-law and an applicant for q
seat in the United States Senate, was ad-
vertised to speak at a Copperhead meet
ing in Reading where Mr.. Clymer resides.
1t is not necessarily to be supposed that
Mr.. johnson will go over openly to the
Copperheads. On the contrary it is more
probable that the programme of the
National hatsAigeaeer viii be carried out,
and a new party viii be formed, on the
ground that the Union party, as now or
ganized is in opposition to the President.
It is believed, says Colonel Forney, that
the Blairs are organizing such a party all
over the North, with the idea of splitting
the Unionists and thus elect the Copper
head ticket. Should the President lend
himself to this scheme, he will strike the
deepest and most ~treacherous blow at the
party which elected him that it was in
his power to aim But he viii, at the
same time, destroy his own political
strength and ruin his presidential pros
poets. His only hope for a reelection is
in the support of the Southern rebels and
Northern Copperheads, and they are not

Popular candidates were put up on both
sides The supporters Of the patent policy

The Committee appointed by the great
johnson meeting in New York city 10
present the resolutions adopted there to
the President were a set of sensible men.
They understood that if they gave Mr..
johnson the least opportunity he would
launch a speech at their devoted heads,
and not only that, but he would have it
~telegraphed from one end OF the country
10 the other. They understood very we'll
too, that any and every repetition of the
famous Washington's birthday speech
would be terribly damaging to the @resi-
dent and his supporters. And 50 they
didn't 60 to Washington atall, but quietly
turned the resolutions over to Prosper M
Wetmore, who handed them to the Presi-
dent a day or two ago in a very matter OF
fact manner. It is said that Mr.. John
son was somewhat chagrined at being
cheated out Of the chance to make a
speech, and expressed his surprise that
the Committee had not waited upon him
n due form.

The Medical statistics OF The Wa

The Medical Statistics of the War.
The record of our war has shown a care
and tenderness for the soldiery of the
, people which is entirely exceptional. The
struggle was one in which the people
were interested, and the people manifest
ed their devotion to the cause for which
they fought not merely by sending volun-
teers into the field by millions, but also
by caring for them, through the Sanitary
and Christian Commissions, and in a
thousand other ways, as tenderly as a
mother fer her children. The result has
been that the number Of deaths in our
army from casualties or sickness has been
an extremely small proportion to the
number in the service. During the Grim
can war, there were 1904 wounded and
2,75O killed; a total of 1889. The
French lost uses wounded and $3.50
killed; a total Of 4s,lls. During our
war reports from ons-half the regiments
showed for the year ending June 30.
1861, g total of 1896 gunshot wounds.
During the succeeding year 1894 gun
shot wounds were reported from about
three-fourths of the regiments. The bat
tlo-feld lists of the wounded for the
Year, lsl4-e5 numbered ll4,OOO wounds
of ell descriptions. The cases of gum
shot wounds in the head, from the COM
mencement of the wal until the latter
part of 1864, numbered about 5000, of
which 900 terminated fatally; 4,I67 gun
shot wounds in the face were reported for
the same time; 1929 in the neck
1862 in the chest and ?, 7O9 in the abdo-
men. For the last quarter of 1858 and
for the first W. quarters of 1864, q, 24s
cases of gunshot wounds in the upper ex-
tremities were reported, and for the year
ending October l, 1864, 10000 in the
lower extremities. There were in the
Army of the Potomac 96, 60s cases of gun
shot wounds during the months of May,
June and July.

me Fenian Programme.

The Canadians are trembling in their
boots as the seventeenth of March, the
anniversary of the patron saint of ireland,
approaches. They expect that st. Pat
rick's day will be to them what ST. Bar
tholomew's was to the anti Catholics
Of the fifteenth century. The popular
notion among them Just now is that the
fierce Faynians, with the irrepressibie
Sweeney at their head, will invade Canada
in some six or eight different columns,
each perhaps ten thousand strong, and,
marching upon Toronto. Ottawa, Mon
4Haahae- will take possession of
the land of the Canucks in the name of
the Irish Republic of America. So there
is much stir in Canada. Troops are mus
tering and marching, and being sent back
ward and forward over the rail in fast
flying specials. There is hustle about
headquarters, and panic in the streets.
Hitherto it has been thorn in the sides
of the Canadian militia officers that they
were in ignorance of the place where
Sweeney, the terrible, intended to strike.
That he would strike somewhere was
most certain, for had he not said SO in a
score of speeches? But where-there is
the doubt that sits like a nightmare on the
anxious breasts of the Canuck chieftains
They look for him at Windsor, they trem-
bic at his coming at Suspension Bridge
they guard the passes of the Thousand
Isles against him, they watch for him
among the pine forests about Lake Cham
plain, they hear of his coming in New
Brunswick-eVery where the terrible
Sweeney, like a phantom of the night,
seems ready to spring upon theml
Now we have information as to
Sveeney's programme which is perfectly
reliable, and which we will impart to our
Canadian friends in strict confidence
The great Fenian invasion is set for
Saturday next, the 18th inst. Well, on
Monday, Sweeney means to have pushed
his invading columns-not 20 Montreal,
not to Hamilton, not to TorOnto-but
(start not, gentle reader to Indianapolis.
A dispatch from that city announces that
Sweeney and Roberts will address a
Fenian meeting there on that date.
This will undoubtedly be Pleasanter bust
ness than facing the red-cpats at Niagara
or Windsor; and we commend Sweeney's
excellent strategy. But won't it be a
dreadful disappointment to our Canadian
brethren that, after having prepared to
welcome Sweeney with bloody hands to a
hospitable grave, he should fail to come TO
timel OF course it WILL

A Canadian Criticism on the Presi-
dents Speech.

The Montreal Transcript thus alludes to
the recent speech of President johnson;
Under our telegraphic head will be
found the report of an extraordinary
speech delivered by President johnson at
a mass meeting sheld at Washington on
Wednesday last. We can call to mind no
such proceeding since R~obespierre, Dam
ton and other members of the Committee
en- Public Safety were wont to appeal to
the mob eff Paris against the decisions of
the French Legislature. What renders the
action stranger still is the fact that the
meeting vas called TO support his own
policy, and to derpunce that of Congress
which circumstance, We should imagine,
makes his appearance OF the scene m
what indicate, to say the least of it. All
this, in any other country, would be the
Inauguration of a revolution; but in the
United States such escapades are matters
OF ordinary occurrence, causing no sur
prise, but regarded as things of course, al
thougha President actually in Office is not
usually an actor in the comedy.

touching a forthcoming work by a young
muiatto girl of this city. The manuscript

practicabilty of publishing it just at this
time, but a prominent house is negotia-

Hon. John Hutchins, formerly men,
Der of Congress from the Western Re-
serve, has been in Louisiana for some
months past, and has lately returned to
his home in Warren, Trumbull county.
To the Chronicle of that place he has con-
tributed four letters, giving his views of
the condition of affairs in the Southwest.
He left the South too soon to Judge of the
effect of the Presidents veto, which he re-
grets, but does not believe it will be very
disastrous in its results. He thinks that
up to the time the veto was announced
things were gradually changing for the
better; that the prospects were far more
favorable, the enmity toward the North
being less, in January than in November.
The freedmen have falsifed the gloomy
predictions of the Southern whites, and
are generally working well. Among
those classes of the whites which formerly
despised labor of all kinds, the spirit Of
industry seems to be awakened. He re-
CARDS it now as hardly possible that the
right of suffrage in a qualified form. could
be extended to the freedmen, but believes if
the President had required it a short time
ago, a majority of the late rebel states
would have as readily adopted this as
did the constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery. It was no more dis
tasteful TO them.

Finding Fault with Children.

II 10 at times necessary 10 censure and 10

BY encouraging children when they do we'll.
Be, therefore more careful to express your
appreciation ofgood conduct than your dis
appreciation Of bad. Nothing can more dis

on the part Of its parent. And hardly any
thing can exert more injurious influence
upon the disposition both Of the parent and
child There are two great motives ini1uen-
cling human actions; hope aud fear. Both Of
these are at times necessary. But who
would not prefer to have her child Influenced
to good conduct by the desire Of pleasing.
rather than BY the fear Of offending. If a
mother never expresses her qualification
when her children do we'll, and is always
censuring them when she sees anything
amiss, they are discouraged and unhappy.
They feel that it is useless to try to please.
Their dispositions become hardened and
soured by this ceaseess frettng; whether
they will do we'll or i'll, they are equally
found fault with, they relinqpish all efforts
TO please, and become needless Of reproaches.
But let mother approve of her chiId's
conduct whenever she can. Let her show
happy. Let her reward him for his Efforts
TO please by smiles and affection. In this
way she will cherish in her childs heart
some of the nobest and most desirable feel,

him an amiable disposition and a cheerful
spirit. Your child has cen, during the day,
