Children hunger perpetually for new
ideas, and the most pleasant way of re-
ception is by the voice and the ear, not
the eye and the printed page. The one
mode is natural, the other is artificial.
Who would not rather listen thanread?
An audience will listen closely from the
beginning to the end of an address
which not one in twenty of those pres
ent would read with the same atten-
ton.
This is emphatically. true of the chill
dren. They Will learn with pleasure
from the lips of parents what they
deem drudgery to study in the books;
and even If they have the misfortune
TO be deprived of the educational adj
vantages which they desire, they can
not fail TO grow up intelligent il they
enjoy in childhood and youth the priv
ilege of listening daily to the conversa-
tfon of Intelligent people. Let parents,
then, talk much and talk well at home.
A father who is habitually silent in his
own house may be, in some respects, a
wise man; but he is not wise in his ST.
lence. We sometimes see parents who
are the life of every company which
they enter, but dull, silent, uninter-
esting at home among their children
If they hayesnut mental activity and
mental stores sufficient for both, let
them first provide for their own house
hold.

The British government has put a
bold face on the Fenian troubles in
Ireland and pretended to think it was
not "much OF shower" But that it
really has had grave apptehensions is
evident enough, and one cause of this
is the extent to which Fenianfsm pre-
walls among the Irish soldiers in the
army. The English under secretary Of
war in a recent statement to parlia-
ment, admitted that Fenianism was
prevalent in the army not only in Ire
land but among Irish 9 soldiers else
where. He said that some of the SOL
diers had been brought tot trial and more
would have been but for the difficulty
of Obtaining evidence. he professed
to think, however, that the majority
OF the army would prove loyal if a col
lisi6n should occur, but declared Il was
not subject TO be treated lightly. or
passed over without careful inyestiga-
tou. 81 sisaatt

A Few words 10 the People OF West
Virginia.
Ffonl az WelLsbLtrg Aerald.

y FFonlthe ReLlsbtu1 Herald.
The time for holding the annual
spring elections in this State (the fourth
Thursday in May as provided by the
last Legislature, instead of April Is
fast approaching MS we are reminded
by an Ohio exchange, whose words we
adopt as applicable 10 our case; and un-
less the Union party is willing to see
NIL the fruits, of five. years OF effort anu
sacrifice not only lost, but appropria-
ted to their own use by the very men
who rendered those efforts and that SELF
sacrifice necessary, it stands them in
hand to be on. the alert and active or
they will have the modification OF ind
ing themselves in the minority. In the
Panhandle,i the margin is not very
large iandwe see our opponents strain
ing every nerve, resorting to every ex.
pedient and spending both time and
money to organize aud concentrate their
strength for adetermined contest and u
victory if obtainable. The "democrat-
ic" leaders feel sore under the depriva-
tions of the last five years and cherish
no, good feelings towards prominent
Union men who have reduced them 10
deserved disgrace; and are perfectly
willing to make common cause win
ayowed rebels as we'll as with weak
kneed Union men in order to accom-
plish success. With the Union party
the case is different. AS yet, the
Union party have scarcely considered
the matter. They have not been
canyassing for competent and popular
candidates which is of the first impor-
tance to secure success, While the
Union party has thus been Indifferent,
reposing in'apparent security upon its
numerical strength, and the virtue of
its principles, the butternut leaders and
the butternut press, have been urging
their partisans TO make early nomina-
tions, to band together and use every
means, fur and foul, TO secure success.
This advice will be followed to the let
ter and spirit, wherever they have rea-
sonahle hone of success. Encouraged
by some differences in the Union ranks,
growing ont of disagreements between
Congress and the President upon the
late veto, the enemy Will make an e8-
traordinary effort at the coming spring
elections, 10 retrieve, in part, at least,
their former strength and prestige. 1t
therefore devolves upon the Union par
ty to be on the alert, to be careful in the
selection of ndidates-nominate none
but good men and true-nominate ear
ly, and go into the canvass resolved to
win. Union men of West Virginia,
YOU who have stood together during the
war for the Union, now that Union is
restored and peace proclaimed, do not
permit the enemy through crafuness or
hy encouraging strife, to steal away
from YOU the fruits OF victory secur-
ed through the sacrifice so much blood
and treasure. Make good nominations
then elect them and stand by them as
the representatives of your principles.

what We Must Pay in Two Years.


Mr.. Scotield's speech in the House of
Representatives last Friday upon the
Loan bill is published in full in the
Globe. He set out with the subjoined
important statement of facts:
"What is the amount ofindebtedness
to be met, and when must 1t be met
To this question 1 invite the careful and
earnest attention of the House. i shall
give the official statemento of the amount
of our total Indebtedness, and also OF
that portion so soon to become due.
The amount of our public debt on the
first day of this month was S2,7l1, $50, 600.
Less than half of this amount is funded.
Within the next three years 81 500, ,000, GOO
of this debt will fall due, and will be
presented at the counter of the Treasury
Department for payment. That pay
ment must be promptly made or our
paper goes to protest and our credit is
broken. L hold in my hand an official
table showing the amount of our in
debtedness that natures each half year
for the next two years, which, after a
word of explanation, j will read. o.
"There was on the last day of Febru-
ary, 1866, n portion of our debt in the
form of u temporary loan to the amount
of $1l9, ,335, ,l94 so, payable at the option
of the lender, after ten days notice. 1t
would hardly be fair to reckon that
whole amount as payable within the
first six months, yet as it may be called
for at any time, and is the least yalua-
BILE form of loan, q it must be added to
the statemento of Indebtedness soon to
be met. With this explanation, and
supposing the payment of this loan to
be demanded within the next six
months, I call attention to the facts ex-
hibited in the table.
rBetween this day and the 90th day
of June next we must pay, in addition
to the regular expenditure of the Gov
ernment, Sl3S, ,6z4,s74 80. During the
six months ending December 81, 1866,
we must pay SI7, ,665, 900. During the
six months ending June 80, 1857, we
must pay $S,47l,0OO. During the six
months ending December 81, 1867, we
must pa: 100000 During the six
months ending June 80, 1868, we must
pay $369, Ais, ,250. During the six months
ending December 81, 1868, we must pay
$2S7, ,564 1852. So that between this and
the assembling of the next Congress
there must be paid over the counter of
the. Treasury, besides the ordinary ex-
penses of the Government, SI,2Ol $780,

WHAT WILL THE -FENIANS Do ?-St.
Patrick Is day passed off without any
Fenian demonstration against Canada,
and our neighbors of the provinces
breathe easier. But the question re-
ours with increasing interest, what are
the Fenians going to do, and how do
they propose to do it2 To put down all
engage Jed in the Fenian business as fools
and Swindlers is lnanifestly unjust. AT
the sametime, to an impartial obser-
yer, the much talked of attempt to lib
crate Ireland from British rule appears
simply foolhardy, and the project OF an
attack on Canada seems almost equally
hopeless. But the leaders must do
something before long, If they would
Justify themselves in the eyes of their
followers for the heavy contributions
they have levied, and what this some-
thing is to bs, is the question. It must
be confessed the leaders keep their Sc
cret well SO far, but they cannot go on
forever, draining the pockets Of their
compatriots of the rank and file, and
not at least make some attempt to carry
out what they promise, vaguely, 1t Is
true, but in high sounding terms.
One thing is noticeable and that is
that, while nominally the Fenians are
split into two factions, the O'Mahony
party, which processes to aim directly
at the liberation of Ireland, and the
Roberts or Sweeney wing, which threat
ems Canada, there is in reality no quar-
rel between them. Both parties go on
their respective ways without apparent
collusion; but there is none of that hard
talking and breaking of heads that
characterize a quarrel among Irislimen
when their heart is really in it, and the
conviction is unavoidable that the two
factious are really working in concert
and to one end, what ever it may be-
If the division was got upto stimulate
the partisan spirit of the Irishmen, and
increase the interest and receipts of the
Organization by a little apparent oppo-
sition, the end has certainly been ac-
compiished.s The organization has un-
don6tedly been strengthened rather
than weakened by the division, and
we now look for speedy reunion in
name, as there evidently is and always
has been union in spirit. A

DEAR -: sa y -.---
The hyperfluous 1ecundity of nor
malistic antagonism most secundative-
ly concatenates towards its disintegrat-
ed participants on propulsion of the
cataclystic cyclorana. Hence we OPT
nate an incongruity of diameteric scin-
telops which impellucidate an auto-da=
fe-tic cringibolliXism upon the surface
exterioptic. Moreover, the ignotist,
when hyperbolizing stratamuriaticd deo-
dorizers, calculariates his diversity
from it's primo -genetrical superaosis,
thus evinculating his exflangistical nu-
numerosis.
This is made, clearer in the tympane-
roid, an instrumentalic syntoplasm of
divergenterial pleonasticsa as correlated
subjectively in an infinitesimal catego-
ric excrescentia; wherefore the indubi-
tative anfmalculisms are decrescented
with the efIluviarum ignotum, not un-
common with Hesperedian Cyclops.
To conclude this antidiluviarian prO-
cess of the non-compos orgasms we
have only to illustrate by an extension
of the SEVERAL digits to the nasalic pro-
tuberance, and circumgyrate the same
to the degustibus non disputandum,

A friend of ours, who lives in Cincin-
nati, and who once occupied n high and
responsible military position in this
State, has recently been reading Judge
Thompson's book. We are informed
that the work is his "Vade Mecum"-
that he has been smitten with a deep
ismite of admiration for the wonderful
ideas and more wonderful phraseology
of the great production, and that he
quotes 1t, talks it, huns it and writes
it on allproper and improper occasions.
This is not at all to- be wondered at.
The book is of character to impress
itself very deep on a susceptible mind
such as our friend possesses. The be-
ginning of Don QuiXote's career was
attributable to the books he had been
reading, and in like manner we see
that our friend has been so completely
carried away with this t'vast system of
thought" Ito quote tho advertisement)
as to be unable any longer to write in
any other terms than those employed
by the deepest thinker" of the times

showing the effect it has had on him we
