Changed His Mind.

A good story with moral is never amiss es-
pecislly if every one practices upon the lesson in.
cGlcated:
A poor man, who lived near worthy deacon,
occasionally called at his house for supply OF
milk. One morning he came when the family
~ere a. breakfast. The good wife rose to wait
upon him, but the deacon said
''W at Till after breakfast
She nd so, and meantime the deacon made
some inquiries of the man about his family and
circums'ances. After family worship the deacon
invited him TO go out TO the barn with him
When they got into the yard, the deacon, point
Ing to one OF the cows, exclaimed
There, take that COW and drive her home"
The man thanked him heartily for the COW and
started for home, but the deacon was oh rived 70
stand in the attitude deep thought until he man
had gone some rods. He then looked I'D and
called out
'Hey, bring that COW back"
The man locked around, and the deacon al
dsd-
"Les that COW come back, and you come back
too"
He did SO, and when he came came back into
the yard again, the deacon said
There, now take your pick out Of the COWS;
amt going to lend TO the Lord the poores, COW
I've got.''

Water.

The ancient Italians, who were a consistent peo-
pie, drank no. watsr as Winter stimulent on the
same principle that they iced their TIber in sum-
mer tonic remedy for dyspepsia. In the

known such a farOT IN any opera house as that
exhibited IN our Academy last night. The
''larewellr OF Adelina PauY at the New
York Academy in 1859 was not equal
to 1t. In respect TO Ronconis general
acting, nothing is left TO be desired. In
this, as we'll as in his singing, there is no
straining after effect. He neither spoiis the
music by the use of sustained notes, cadenzas,
or appogiaturas which are not in the score
nor does he mar his acting by a1y outre or gro.
tesque efforts. He has a certain character to
Lersonate, and he does 1t perfectly. Everything
else Is OF minor Importance. In the first act we
see aud hear not Ronconi, but poor, illiterate
and half-starved cobbler. The unctuous and
homely humor, the varied expressions and rapid
changes of countenance, and the miser-like
avidlty with which the poor wretch who, bat
the moment before, bad been contemplating
suicide, seizes upon the treasure given him by
the "Fairy,' has not been equalled upon the
stage since the days When Burton and fun were
syI onymous.
Miss Clara Louise Kellogg was excellent in
her rote of the cobber's wife, and received a
perfect ovation at the hands of her country
people, who. in their admiration for Ronconi,
did not forget their duty to encourage native
talent by generous applause. Miss Kellogg's
voice has gained tin1bre since she was heard here
last, and she is now real prima donna.
Miss stockton, as the "Fairy," executed her
part With great care. The music is classical and
difficult but hardly approaches brllancy, and
hence Miss Stockton could not make a great
impression in the part.
Antonucci Belllni, Testa, and Ban6 were
especially good in their roles, and the entire
cast was one of such excellence that no fault
could be found with any of the selections. This
is great compliment but is deserved.
Since writing the above we learn that, at the
request of many of their patrons, the managers
have determined to repeat Orispino Ia Comare

Heniy Wnrl Rencher.

IHE Reverend Henry Ward Beecher made a
great speech last evening to an immense con-
course Of citizens at the Brooklyn Academy
OF Music He fully endorsed the Republican
party, sustained the Justice of the Constitu-
tional amendment, and maintained the
supreme jurisdiction OF Congress over the
entire subject OF reconstruction. He avowed
his intention to labor in the Republican
party, and though in some matters of policy
he might differ with the majority of its mem
bers, he still regarded 1t as the only party
devoted to human freedom and advancement,
and the only one to whom the destinies of
the nation could be safely committed. The
speech throughout was in astrain of lofty and
commanding eloquence. 1t will be found in
full in our columns to-day.

dence that has ever fallen under our notice.
The people Of America, and especially the
real soldiers of the war, will not stand
being thus represented by those who
dared not act as a military organization
while the war lasted, lest they should be
called upon to do something for their country.
If these men go abroad we will let our
brothers OF England and France know that
they never were in a battle; that they are
GOO Munchausens; that they stayed at home,
and are no more entitled to the name of
soldiers than is the Board of Brokers. True,
It is probable that number of the members
were officers of other regiments, but that has
got nothing to do with iC. They go as the
7th Regiment, to represent the army of the
United States; and in so going, exhibit an
impudenee without parallel, an audacity
without precedent, and, in their triumphal
career will have, as they deserve, their
stolen laurels torn from their brows.
Let us have company of the real
fighting men of the war men who
have tattered banners; care-worn faces, aud
walk with crutches. They merit the applause
of the world. They won the fight; they
proved themselves brave. They were not
autocrats of wealth; they were patriots OF
true worth. They would be received and
honored, while the kid gloved dandies OF the
9TH will bring contempt on our army and cover
themselves with ridicue.

such coup d. etdt would be received by the
people. The scheme would have been no
less wicked and infamous had we been de-
feated. instead of successful, in the elections
but in that case 1t would probably have been
attempted. The business community can see
from what yawning gulf of confusion, dis
cord, and bankruptcy a Republican triumph
has saved them. The people at large, too
can see how barely we have missed a mortal
peril.
The situation, then, is hopeful, buoyant,
promising. The integrity of the Govern

Cabinet changes orc again spoken of,
but we do not credit the reports. At a
recent serenade of the President and Cabi-
net, all the secretaries were present and
spoke, except Harlan and Seward. The
latter was at Auburn, N. Y, his home, and
made lengthy speech for Johnson's poll
cy; he abused the Democrats like pick
pockets, but the object was to give more
edge to his subsequent skinning of the
radical cells, and he did the last part of tho
job in fine style. Harlan wrote letter
stating that he was committed to radical
ism, but he didn't intend to make any
great fuss about it if it was going to dis
turb the harmony, g., &c. Stanton elabo-

Orr co THEIR HEAps--The telegraph
announces the nomination, by the Presi-
dent, of Major Rufus Cheney, of White
water, as Assessor, and John B. Smith, of
Milwaukee, as Collector of Internal Reyc-
nue., in the LIST District of this STATE, vice
Bronson and Emerson, removed.
Maj. Cheney was a paymastcr during the
war, a class Of soldiers that appear to be
in special favor of late. He was formerly
conservative Republican, and had ad-
vanccd so far in the process of Yctrification
as to receive, last fall, the nomination for
State Senator at the hands of the Copper
head Democracy of his district.
John B. Smith, of Milwaukee, has at
times been one of the most ultra radical
men in the State. He was one Of the two
Union men in Milwaukee, however, who
took part in the veto ratification meeting
held by the Milwaukee Corperheads some
time since.
The telegraph also says that Col. Starr
is likely to be appointed Postmaster. He
has been gallant soldier and we should be
gratified to see his services rewarded by
some good appointment, though we should
lament to hear that for the sake of an ap-
pointment he would abandoned the princi-
Piles of the Union party and ally himself
with an organization of which the Chicago
Tines and Milwaukee Ne,cs are likely to
be the organs. We are not yet prepared
to believe that he will.

Long may you flourish, Father BALE,

SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS Sladc,
the celebrated spiritual medium, has ar
rived in this city, and proposes to hold a
few seaaces for the edification of the pub
lie. Last night few persons assembled
at his room in the Newhall House, and
We're favored with an exhibition which, to
unbelievers in the doctrine of spiritual
manifestations, will seem very wonderful.
With apparently no difficulty the names of
a number of persons, relatives to those
present, for long time deceased and al
most forgotten, were written upon slate.
Deception was impossible, as the slate was
held where no person in the room could
write on it. A couple of tunes" Home,
Sweet Home = and +" Gentle Annie -
were played upon an accordion without
any aid from any person in the room. A
bell, weighing about two pounds, lying up
on the floor under the table was raised
from the floor a distance of three or four
feet, and very quietly laid on the lap of
the reporter of the Sentinel in such an
adroit manner as to preclude the possibili-
ty Of any natural agency having effected
the feat.
The above is clipped from local col
umn of the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel of
Friday last. We had thought that the Da-
venports, the Rebellion, the Fenians and
the Spiritualists generally were "played; !"
but when the intelligent local of the iSeati-
mel says " deception was impossible no
possibility of any natural agency" and
SO on, we begin to wonder. The language
of the local seems to us like the credulity
Of 20 years ago. -.i..@ .f ~.
