CHILDREN.-Wh,n a child l. hurt. do
not hush il, 1t is inexcusable barlarity /:
i, is reprcssing its instinct; and for this
reason, if ply sical punishment is inflicted
on the child, it is perfect brutality. A
thousand times better is it to soothc by
kindly words and acts, divert the mind by
telling stories, by explaining pictures, Or
by providing it with new toys. We have
many time, says HaTs journal Of
Health, in our professional experience as
to sick children, found more benefit to be
derived from beautiful and interesting
toy than from dose of physic. The
greatest humanity mother can exhibit in
respect to a sick child is to divert it in
all the pleasing ways possible; as we our
selves, who are larger children, have some.
times felt really sick-when cheerful
face and a much loved friend have come in,
and before we known it, we have forgot
ten what was tlle matter with us.

worse. Fierce and savage as the con-
flict was while it lasted, (such are
all civil wars,) thus far we have
had no executions for treason, no
e1icts of Punishment, no confscations.
When before did great war termin-
ate? For one, have not despaired Of
the country, and have not lost all faith
in free institutions. I hope ere long
to see all our people restored to all
their rights and privileges-all fear Of
coniiscation removed, and, with the ilr-
coming tide of immigration and enter
prise, a new era will dawn upon
our desolate land.
Respectfully.
RUFUS BARRINGER.
Gen. VIM. c. Wickham, of the reb-
cl army, relative ofGen. r. E. Lee,
writes to Gen. Barringer from Hano-
yer Court House, Va, as follows.
/ am in full accord with you on all
the positions taken in it, and believe
that it is only by carrying out the
views there in expressed that we will
ever again find our States returning
to prosperous condition and l am
delighted to find a man like yourself
coming forward to aid in convincing
our mislcd people of the propricty, 1
may say necessity, of accepting full
the results of our defeat, and 70 show
them that brave men do not yield to
despair, but look forward with hopeful
anticipations to our future, and that
wise mon can point out to them tho
path to early reconstruction with all
its attendant blessings of peace, hap
pincss, national greatness, and last,
but not least, a proper and Legitimate
Independence"
The third resolution of your con-
vention also strikes the right note.
The sooner the disabilities are remov-
ed from the class spoken of, the sooner
will public sentiment be brought to a
healthy tone in the South, and the
more permanent will be the establish
ment Of the principles of the Repub-
lican party throughout that regions.
Everything here is in a most un-
certain state. The press has done vast
injury by exciting those whom it
reaches against an honest acceptance
of the Congressional policy; and fear
designing men are giving bad advice
to the negroes. The result of two
things greatly fear, may be to draw
a line based upon color, which will be
fraught with new disasters. | hope
however, for the best, and be the tenn
porary evils what they may, have no
doubt ofthc future prosperity of tie
people of this State.
Believe me, very truly yours,

In some respects it does not cost
more to live than it did before the
war. A New York letter says: At
the clothing houses on Broadway and
the Bowcry you may see suits, good
and bad, almost as cheap as they were
five years ago; and in every street
piles ofdry goods ticketed from 30 to
100 per cent. below the prices asked
for the same goods in 1865, Calicos at
124ca yard muslins at 10 to &c; de-
laines at 1890; dress goods at from 25
to SOC, and all kinds of costlier fabrics
at prices that indicate heavy loss to
some. The decline is severely felt By
importers, jobbers and agents, and
some of them are out of pocket to the
tune of $4,000 to S25O,0OO by it but
it is very advantageous to the working
classes, for it enables them to make
dollar go as far in dress as two went
last year. Groceries and rents arc
still high, but with these exceptions it
is much cheaper living in New York
now than it has been for three or four
years.

color which God has been pleased to
bestowed upon an unfortunate race.
They startle with assuped self-hor-
or when they declare that tour and a
half millions of white voters are to be
engulfed by less than hssfmillion of
coiored. They can see nothing before
their eyes but visions of black suprem-
acy, and clamor to rob the citizen of
the means by which he can protect and
defends his citizenship. They prefer
white traitors to loyal black men.
To restore the Democratic party to
power would be to restore rebels to
power. The war which has hardly
ended, would be renewed and fought
over again. Your bond and pension
laws would be repealed. The nation
al debt would be repudiated. The
commercial prosperity ofthe nation de-
stroyed; in fact, American liberty
would receive blow that would re-
tard the civilization of the world
century in its progress. Anarchy and
ruin would supplant the best Govern
ment of the earth.
Comrades, let your voices, your
vote, and your influence be Welded the
same column of strength that is now
led by the heroes Of the war-by
Grant, Sheridan, Thomas, Howard,
Sickles, Gcary, Logan, Schenck, and
hundreds of others whose deeds are no
less heroic or brave, and the power
that now threatens to control by the
ballot WILDE vanquishcd with less eff.
fort than the fiends of rebellion who
failed by the bullet.
Your patriotism and valor saved
the nation in its hour of peril, let not
your apathy destroy the fruits of vic
tory. The loyal men of the South
look to your ballots as they did to your
bullets to secure them the enjoyment
ofliherty and repose. Ifyou are true

Vengeance Deferred.

Upon one of the festival days in
Naples it was customary to have some
individual mounted upon an ass, who
for two hours rides through the city
pcrsonating the Saviour, and who dur
ing that time must endure the most
intolerable Bullets and insults. So vile
is the treatment to which his person
has to submit that it is often difficult
even by the offer of a large pecuni-
ry reward, to induce any person to ac-
cept the Office. On one occasion an
American sailor, tempted by the gold
accepted the job. Ills ignorance Of
the language spared him the verbal
contumcly, but the outrage upon his
person was fully appr eciated. He en-
dured all bravely, until, when near
the close of his work, he was assailed
in the most offensive manner. Shak-
ing his dripping garments, he turned
upon bis assailants and exclaimed ,
"Villains wait until 1 have done
playing Christ, and I'll clean out this
town."

CENTENARrAN REpuBLrcAN.-We
clip the following from the Augusta
(Maine) Journal: Nssl -a'd
Capt. David Hinkley, of Livermore,
Androscoggin county, rode six miles
on Monday, the 9th day of this month,
and voted for Gen. Chamberlain for
Governor. Capt. Hinkley was born
in 1865, and is, therefore, one huadysl
asl t,ro years Of age. He voted for
Gen. Washington for the first Presi-
dent Of the United States, and has
voted for President at every election
since that time. We presume there. is
not another such instance on record.
He hopes, he says, to live to vote for
Gen. Grant for President in 1868, md
he will then have voted for him who
founded, him who liberated, and him
who saved the Republio-W Washing
ton, Lincoln and Grant.

NEW METRoPoLITAN-The audi
ence at the theatre last night was
larger than ordinary. and the rendi-
ton of the thrilling drama of the
Peep O'Dayp was as fine as ever
seen on any stage. Scarcely a char
acter fell below a respectable stand
ard, and some of the scenes were ex-
tremely thrilling and we'll represent
ed. Miss Annie Mayhem and Mr..
Golden were especially felicitous in
their respective roles, and Dir. Yoltz
played with unusual ability.
To night viii be presented, for the
farewell benefit of the Mayhem Sis

which, next to the Black Crook, has
had the greatest run of any piece on
the American stage. All lovers OF
the drama should attend tonight.

FIRE.-At half past ) o'clock yes
terday morning the fire bells reused
the sleeping town by a wild alarm.
The cause was the discovery of fire
in the cellar of Henry Habenicht's
double building, corner of Fourth
and Oak Streets. The fire originated
in a pile of shavings and scraps piled
up in the cellar for kindling. The
engines reached the fire in time to
extinguish it before any damage had
been done to the building. Singu-
larly enough, the fire broke out yes
terday morning in the very same spot
where it had been discovered on the
morning previous.
We have heard two causes assigned
for the origin of the fire, one that it
was the work of an incendiary; the
other, that the fue in the wall into
which the stove pipe on the first floor
entered, extended to the cellar, with
an opening below, through which it is
supposed spark had fallen to the
combustible material above alluded
to. Had the fire got good start it
might have occasioned a heavy loss
of property.

There were but two cases yesterday

at Castle Miller, that renowned strong
hold formerly known as Castle OAR
ling, having assumed new name
since its capture By Capt. Miller on
the 8th of October. Yesterday he
had a hearing before His Honor. and
being up for the fourth or fifth time,
he was fined So with 81 45 costs.
A country man was arrested for
driving his wagon over the hose while
the frenen were filling the cisterns
yesterday. AS the accused did not
seem to understand the law, he was
let off By paying the costs Of the ar
rest, but persons should take ware
