upon the election Of MoRMssEY, as a
representative in Congress from one OF
the New York districts, has revived the
following scrap of history:
Years ago, in England, lived notorl-
ous character named JOHN GuLLEf, q
public prize fighter, who, in many fair
and square stand-up fight, gained many
friends among the nobility ana tne
fancy" Having made considerable
money he opened hell in james
street, London, within few doors OF
Picadilly. Here his acquaintance with
the nobility extended, and he next doomed
up as a patron of the turf, and elbowed
his way into "good society at Doncas-
ter, where he came near carrying OH
the St. Leger stakes from the notorious
Earl Jersey. From the race course at
Doncaster was but step into the BRITISH
House of Commons, where JOHN GuLLEY,,
ESQ, figured as member for the borough
of Friaresborough.
1t is nowhere recorded, adds the keo-
kuk Constitution, that the English House
of Commons, whose moral sense may be
fairly presumed to have been quite as
keen and vigorous as that OF our moral
Ql) Radical Congress, proposed to ex-
clude JOHN GULLEY las man whose
whole life disqualifes him from sitting
in that body"

RADICAL BANQUET.

The committee of arrangements for
the mass welcome to Congress have con-
cluded upon a grand banquet at the fair
building, as closing feature of the fes-
tival. Invitations have been issued to
the Republican Governors and promi.
nent public men.-Dispatck.
This movement is entirely original
nothing like it having, to the best of our
recollection, transpired in all the history
of this Government. 1t inculcates the
popular idea of the North, that the Rad
dical party is the Government, and ev-
erything in opposition to it is rebellious,
and should be crushed out by law, by the
bayonet, and by all available agencies.
The banquet is not to be given to Con-
gress-it is reserved for party, and
meant as an afront to the Executive and
an insult to the Conservative and Demo
cratic members. 1t is recognition Of
the fact, no longer to be concealed, that
the Radical members Intend to proclaim
themselves the government JOHNSON is
to be impeached, and the Presidency
to be grasped, held, and prostituted to
Radical uses. The South will be kept
out, whether she shall disgracefully sur
render the point Of negro suffrage, or
whether she shall stand firm and invite
the consequences Of maintaining her
selfrespect STEVENS says he shall be
more radical than ever before. II, how
ever, he takes snuff, the whole Radical
party sneezes. There will be sneezing
when that bloated nose snuffs up the
fragrant Maccoboy, and there will be
shouting when that blistered tongue,
thickened with drink, announces the
sovereign power of the majority, the
disposition of the President, and the
enslavement of the South.

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.

Mrs. MoYE, an old lady living in Tip
ton county, Tennessee, has now reached
her one hundredth year, having been
born in 1866. She was a grown young
lady at the close of the first great Amer
lean Revolution, and has lived to see the
country pass the ordeal of several wars
since, and survive them all. She is one
of the earliest settlers of Upton county,
having been resident of that county
nearly forty years. She still lives in the
enjoyment of good health, and as the
centuries come and 60 may still survive
the storms of many years to come. AS
the impressions of youth grow brighter
with advancing age, what food of re-
collections must crowd that old lady S
memory Contemporary with WASHING
TON, JEFFERSON and MADISON, what must
be her thoughts in regard to many of
their successors2 Among the earliest of
our recollections was this venerable old
lady, and then she was regarded as a
very old woman.

The Washington Genealogy.

Mr. Joseph Chester, an American liv
ing in London, has been looking NJ
Washington's lineage, and proves, to his
own satisfaction at least, that the received
genealogy is incorrect He says:
In the year 1867, two brothers, John
and Lawrence Washington, left England
for the Virginia colony. The genealogy
from these brothers down, is of course
easily traced with entire accuracy. John
was the immediate ancestor of George
Washington, being his great grandfather
Although the two Washingtous we're men
of some note, they have hitherto beer
COMPOUNDED by all who have written Of
the Washington pedigree, from Sir Isaac
Heard to Washington Irving, with two
other men of the same name, but only
distantly related to them.

Rich Mons Sons.

Henry Ward Beacher, in sermon
delivered at Plymouth Church, last Sun
day evening, produced the following
picture of rich mems sons:
Men seem ashamed to labor, and
often you shall find men who have made
themselves respected in labor, have built
up business and amassed fortune, who
turn to their sons and say: "You shall
never do as did; you shall lead differ
ent life; you shall be spared all this. " Oh,
these rich mems sonsl They aim to lead
life of elegant leisure; and that is a
life of emasculated idleness and lazi-
ness. Like the polyp that floats useless
and nasty upon the sea, all flabby, no
muscle, no bone--it shuts and opens
and shuts, and sucks in and squirts
out again, of no earthly ac-
count, influence or use Such are
these poor fools. Their parents toiled
and grew strong, built up their frames of
iron and of bone; but, denying all this
TO their sons they turn them upon the
world homeless, muscleless, simple griz-
ze, and self at that. What if you do
get your time reduced to eight hours, and
wages increased to five dollars, does that
educate you?

Beauty and URliness.

Peoples notions of beauty differ. Tam.
erlaues wife, who had no nose, was
thought q belle by her contemporaries.
A patrician Of Venice had a scurvy little
probosci., and that was held of itself a
sufficient disqualification for the doge' S
cap aud ring. Cicero admired the
squirting eye, such as Greek sculptors
often gave to Venus, and Minerva was
sometimes figured with complexion as
dusky as any gypsy wife on Epson Downs
Some Of the Greeks held blue eyes to be
bideous, and Diosclorides tells us that
they had an art-the same practieed,
perhaps. centuries afterwards at Donny-
brock fair - Of making them black.
Hunchbacks have had their admirers,
who contend that the dorsal curvature is
the true line Of beauty, and that the
hump, so far from being a deformity, las
dull fools suppose" is in itself a grace
fuI ornament, seeing that, in its outline,
il approximates the figure 20 many OBJ

Gov. sharkey and Impartial Suffrage.

A prominence is again given to the
letter of President johnson to the late
Provisional Governor Sharkey, of this
State, in which it is said the President
urged the doctrine of impartial suf-
frage," so called We feel authorized to
state from a recent conversation with
Governor Sharkey, that he is utterly OPP
posed to negro suffrage in any way it can
be fixed, partial or impartial. He also
believes that Congress has nothing tn do
with the subject, and cannot legally touch
it. 1t belongs exclusively to the States,
each State acting for itself No compro-
mise between Congressan the President
can affect the rights of the States, and
no State ought to accept such compro-
mise, no matter how favorable, without
being consulted. Our conversation with
the Governor occurred within the last
ten days, and although not designed for
publication, we believe these to be his
views honestly entertained, and now
that his name is used in such connection
as will be likely to msrepresent him,
we take the liberty of putting them for

of aerial blue, the head of man--seat of
his intellect and organ Of his will.
Throughout the middle ages it was a
prevalent belief that the ugliness of the
wicked-and the wicked were very ugly
was in precise proportion to their
wickedness, and so the spirit Of Evil
himself was ever pictured as abominably
hideous and revoltin ely frightful; very
unlike the mot less than archangel

portrayed b! Million. "As ugly as sin, "
'diabolically hideous, are phrases found
in other languages besides our own. In
the same way vir tue and goodness, the at
tributes of the saint, the characteristic s
of the angel, ar habitually linked both
in idea and expression, with either ma
jestic charms of enchanting loneliness.
"As beautiful as an angel" "seraphic
beauty" are modes of expression ia
miliar to our lips; and, furthermore, it
is usual enough, when the desire is to
convey appreciation of certain line of
conduct, to say such conduct was p" de-
cidedly handsome"
Hereby we discover the connection
which unconsciously, perhaps, subsists
in our minds between things which are
true, honest and just, and things which
are lovely COrnhiU Magazine.

CHARACTER OF A TRUE FRIEND

Concerning the man you call your
friend, tell me, will he weep with you in
the house of distress 2 Will he reprove
you to your face, for actions which others
are ridiculing and censuring behind your
back2 Win he stand forth in your de-
tense, when detraction is secretly aiming
its deadly weapon at your reputation 7
viii he acknowledge you with the same
cordiality, behave to you with the same
friendly attention in the company of
your superiors in rank aud in fortune, as
when the claims of pride do not inter
fere with those of friendship2 If mis-
fortune and losses should oblige you to
retire into a walk in life in which
you cannot appear with the same
liberality as formerly, will he still
think himself happy in your so
ciety, and, instead of Withdrawing him
self from an improbable connection,
take pleasure in protesting himself your
friend, and cheerfully assist you to sup
port the burden ofyour Affections ? When
sickness shall call you to retire frem the
gay and busy scenes of the world, will he
follow you into your gloomy retreat,
listen with attention to your tale Of
symptoms" and administer the balm oil
consolation to ysur faintiag spiritsf And
lastly, when death shall burst asundeI
every earthly tie, viii he shed teaI
upon your grave, and lodge th dear re
membrance of your N Itual friendship in

OUR NATIONAL DEBT.

Our national debt, according 10 the
last report of the Secretary Of Treasury,
is now reduced to S2,55l 100000; Of
these more than half are long bonds.
The Secretary of Treasury will have to
fund, in less than year and half from
this date, 1926, 100000 short date paper
"a task greater than has yet ever been
performed by any nation in the world,
greater far than was funded by Great
Britain in her most expensive wars with
NAPOLEON. A question occurs as to the
pressure of this debt upon the resources
of the country, in absorbing floating cap
ital and preventing it from being produc-
tive in the industrial activity of our peo-
Pile; for the active capital Of country
is as it were the seed corn in the field of
finance. To take from farmer or mer-
chant, by taxation, such part of his an
nual returns as impairs his working cap
ital, is to mutilate his wealth-producing
faculties, and if extended over an entire
country will necessarily check its growth.
Is it not then bad policy for Congress to
tax this people so heavily as to paralyze
their productive powers? We can never
enrich nation by impoverishing any OF
its individual citizens; but we can dimin-
ish the pressure of burden when we give
more strength to the shoulders that bare
it, for there are no people taxed as heav-
lily as our people are now, and none sus-
tain the burden SO cheerfully. May there
not be point beyond which it may not
be well to go? Already we hear of petit
tons going up from various parts of the
country to Congress, to remove the
onerous tax Of three cents pound on
cotton-a tax which is believed by the
ablest jurists of the country to be uneon-
stitutional. The Southern people are
already impoverished; their lands are
being sold at Sherif's sale, and many
are actually in want of the necessaries
of life; and to be burdened with heavy
taxation nop seems one of the direst of
na1amities
