thus given to the commanding officer over all the
people Of each district is that Of an absolute mon
arch" He further declared that sthe bill author
ICES an arrest without warrant, at the pleasure Of
q military commander" In his veto message Of
the Supplemental Bill, he reiterated the power Of
the military commanders. He stated what were
to bo tho duties Of the commanding generals, and
of the registrars appointed by them. The COM
manders have not, in any instance, exceeded the
instructions they were compelled to take from the
Reconstruction and Supplemental Veto Messages;
on the contrary, they have not gone as far. If the
President now accept the opinion Of the Attorney.
General he will prove to the world that the opinions
he expressed in vetoing those bills were not
dictated by honest conviction, but was shallow
and plausible pretext for opposing Congress, and
venting his malignant spleen against them. To
accept the opinion Of SrANBERY at this late hour, is
but to commence another futile contest against
Congress and the sentiments Of the majority of
the Northern people; it is but the Inauguration of
policy which can succeed only in stirring up Bit
ter excitement, and engendering strife among the
people of the South; policy which will retard re-
construction, and destroy every probability OF see-
ing the South represented in long term of Con-
gress; policy which will force Congress to adopt
harsher measures for the government Of the un-
fortunate South; policy which will certainly ter
inmate in his own complete overthrow.

TIE ACCIDENT on THE WILMINGTON AND MAN
,oHzsTxa aRAnRoAp.--The passengers by the North.
eastern Railroad yesterday confirm the report OF
the accident ON the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad, and bring further particulars. Welearn
that the accident occurred ct Soldiers Greek,
about thirty miles from Wilmington, at five A. NJ.
Sunday morning. The heavy rains had caused tho
creek to rise, and the tresle was undermined,
the embankment being washed away. This was
not known to the engineer, and as the down train
struck the treste it gave way, and the engine and
the baggage and mail cars were procipi-
tated into the creek. The engineer lesped
from the engine and saved himself, but Mr.
JACKSON HARRAI, trostle builder, and MIR.
@. J. Bmp, section master, were caught
in the wreck and instantly killed. The engine
went headforemost into the creek, but gained the
opposite side, and stopped in perpendicular
position, with the smokestack and cow-catcher out
Of the water. The fall Of the engine carried with
It the baggage and mail cars these were broken
into fragments, and the mail agent saved only by
q miracle. Most Of the mail matter was lost, and
that saved from the wreck was too wet for distri-
button, and was carried back to Wilmington. For
tunately, the passenger cars were stopped when
thew were almost on the verge Of the chasm, and
ths psssengers escaped with rough jolting and q
few petty bruises. In consequence OF this aecl'
dent. we have been without q Northern mail since
Saturday, But understand that repairs have been
Already commenced, and it is anticipated that the
traYel win coon be resumed along the road.

ECLIPSES IN 1867,

There will be four eclipses in the pres.
ent year-two of the sun and two of the
moon but no remarkable phenomena.
An annular eclipse of the sun, March 8,
will be invisible in America. 1t will bo
seen, however, in Europe, Asia and AT
rica. AT Greenwich the time of its oc-
currence is o'clock and II minutes in
the morning. The other eclipse of the
sun, August 20, will be total, but not
visible in the United States or in Eu-
rope. The South Americans will have
a view of it. A partial eclipse of the
moon, March 20, may bewitnessed from
all parts of the United States. In New
York city and State the time of its be-
ginning will be about 2:20 in the morn
ing, and it will end at about half past
o'clock. In California and Oregon it
will begin in the evening of the nine
teeth. a partial eclipse of the moon,
Friday evening, September 10, will be
visible in parts of the United States,
though its beginning will not be gener-
ally seen. At places west of Boston the
moon will rise more or less eclipsed.
From the Pacific States this eclipse will
not be seen at all.

its gullet and then declared that the
largest goose had swallowed the jewel.
The goose was killed, the diamond
found. In the meantime, the ivory
merchant returned, and was incredu-
lous.
"Some crafty knave, o wife," said he;
"either the thief himself, or his abettor,
has, with a well-concerted scheme,
wrought on your easy faith. But I'll
soon try his powers of divination. I'll
provide him with meal likeway."
No sooner said than done; between
two dishes the mysterious fare was hid
den. The false conjuror was told to de-
clare what was the concealed cheer, on
pain of being well beaten should he
fail.
"Alas," he muttered out, "Benhas-
sen, thou art pig; thou art dead" re-
ferring to himself, and calling himself
names.
"IIe's right" the merchant cried.
"Give him purse of gold; l honor
talents such as his"
1t was pork in the dish. Thus our
glutton, by three random speeches,
gained three hearty meals, heavy
purse, comfort for life, and most brill
liant reputation as cunning man.

the year 1927 he was Democratic Rep
rcsentative of Worcester, in the Gener-
al Court of the State but it was in 1913,
as Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, that Mr.. Merrick established his
claim to legal reputation, having re-
signed his Judgeship in 1919, he was
called on to conduct as senior counsel
the defense of Professor Webster for the
murder of DIR. George Parkman. This
duty he discharged with great ability,
and with nice sense Of professional
honor which won from the leading Eng
llsh law review unusual praise for his
powers as an advocate. In 1858, after
having passed another term on the
bench of Common Pleas, he was made
a Judge of the Supreme Court, in place
of Hon. Caleb Cushing.

THE art of conversation is the finest
of the fire arts; it is not the art of say
ing much, but of saying well. There
are preaching men who talk, but listen
not, or who speechifiy in private; or
gossiping men, who think little,are new
er still, and yet they are not conversi.
BILE men. The real art of conversation
consists not onlyin expressing your own
thoughts freely, but in drawing out by
encouragement the thoughts of others.
You will never be liked for long talking
by anybody; but you are sure to be
liked if, by your talking, you encourage
and stimulate others to think and talk
in response to your thoughts. The art
is a natural gift in the main. 1t is not
only a gift of mind, but also of temper.
1t requires condescension, indulgence,
patience, and many other moral accom-
plishments, refinement as well as pow
er.

hour; of race-horse, from twenty-nine to
thirty miles; ofa bird, from fifty to six
ty miles; of the clouds in violent hur-
ricane, eighty to one hundred miles of
of sound, eight hundred and twenty
three miles; of a cannon ball, as found
by experiment, from six hundred to one
thousand miles; of the earth around the
sun, siXty-eight thousand miles, or more
than hundred times quicker than a
cannon ball of light, about eight hun
dred million miles, passing from the
sun to the earth, ninety five million
miles, in about eight minutes, or a mil
lion times swifter than a cannon ball !;

thoughts Of the human minds is beyond

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.-If there be
any bond in life which ought to be sac
redly guarded from everything that
can put it in peril, it is that which
unites the members of family. Ifthere
be spot upon earth from which discord
and strife should be banished, it is the
fire side. There center the fondcst hopes
and the most tender affections. How
lovely the spectacle presented by that
family wich is governed by the right
spirit! Each strives to avoid giving
offence, and is studiously considerable
of the others happiness. Sweet, loving
dispositions are cultivated by all, and
each tries to surpass the other in his
efforts for the common harmony.-Each
heart glows with love; and the bene-
diction Of heavenly peace seems to
abide upon that dwelling ithsuch pow
er that no black tiend of passion dare
rear his head within it.
Who would not realize this lovely pic
ture? 1t may be realized by all who
employ the appointed means. Let the
precepts of the Gospel be applied as
they are designed to be; and they will
be found to shed II holy charm upon the
family circle, and make it what God
designed it should be, the most heaven
like scene on earth.

A PRETTY FIsu.-Mr. Lord, an En-
glish traveller, and a clever sensation
writer, has just published in London a
book on British Columbia and the Pa
cific coast, in which among other trav-
elcr's tales he gives lively description
of the octopus, in "the Brobdignagian
proportions he obtains in the snug bays
and long inland canals along the east
side of NancOuver's Island" The crea-
ture is a huge flat fish, with eight long
radiating snake like arms, fringed with
numberless suckers, and which it uses
like oars in midwater, like spiders legs
on the bottom, as climbers on the sides of
rock, hangers on the rank aquatic vege-
tation, and collectively as hand for
grasping its prey. These arms are gifted
with prodigious strength and lightning
like mobility The Indians display great
skill and daring in hunting the monster
in their canoes with long spears.

GREATEST DEPTH OF MINEs.-The
Eselchacht Mine at Kuttenburg, in Bo-
hemla, now inaccessible, is the deepest
mine in the world, being BITS feet be-
low the surface,-Its depth is only $50
feet less than the height of Mount Vesu-
vius, and it is eight times greater than
the height of the pyramid of Cheops.
The bore of the salt works of Minden, in
Prussia, is 2,23l feet deep, and l ,993 feet
below the level of the sea. The mine of
Valcnciana, in Mexico, is ,6S6 feet deep,

ASHLEY, the lmpeacher, was born in
Pennsylvania; but, fortunately for tho
State, he left at sweet fifteen, for the
west, where he became, in turn, a ped
dler of cheapj jewelry among the negroes
along the Mississippi, a botch printer,
poorly-rCad lawyer, boat builder,
seller of drugs, newspaper publisher,
etc. Having failed in all these, the gra-
dation was easy to seat in Congress
from the Toledo Ohio district. Before
getting into that position, however, he
became a renegade from the Democratic
party.

MAGNITUDE OF THE EARTH.-The
circumference ofour globeis %, 5,020miles,
and so stupendous circle may be best
comprChended by comparison. For ex-
ample, a railway train, travelling inceS-
sanity, night and day, at the rate of
twenty-five miles an hour, would re-
quire six weeks to go around it. The
cubical bulk Of earth is 100000, 100000
of cubic miles, and according to DR..
Lardner, if the materials which COM
pose it were built up in the form of a
column, having pedestal of the nag
nitudc Of England and Wales, the
height of the column would be nearly
four and half millions of millions of
miles. a tunnel through the earth from
England to New Zealand would be
about 5000 miles long.

UNEDCCATED WoMEN-One of the
most agreeable consequences of knowl-
edge is the respect and importance
which it communicates to old age. Men
rise in character often as they increasein
years they are venerable for what they
have acquired, and pleasing for what
they can impart. If they outlive their
faculties, the mere frame itself is respect
cd for what it once contained but with
uncducatcd women, when youth is gone
all is gone. No human creature gives
its admiration for nothing-either its
eye must be charmed or its understand
ing gratified.

POETRY.
THE CROSS.

Quaint though the construction be OF the fol.
lowing poem, yet never has the story of the Cros,
been told with more truthful simplicity:
Blest th5y who seek
While in their youth
With spirit meek,
The way = truth,
To them the sacred scriptures now display;
Christ as the only true and living way:
His precious blood on Calvary was given,
To make them heirs of endless bliss in heaven
And cen on earth the child of God can trace
The glorious blessings of his Sayiours gIacc.
For them he bore
His Fathers frown;
For them he wore
The thorny crown;
Nailed to the Cross,
Endured its pain
That his llfe's loss,
Might be their gain.
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nore'en dare refuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He declare,
81 know you not;"
And deep despair
Forever be your lot.
Now look to Jesus who ON Calvary died,
And trust on Him alone who was cruclned

The FaYn and her Mother.

A Fawn one day said to her mother,
Mother, you are bigger than dog, and
swifter and better winded, and you have
horns to defend yourself; how is it that
you are so afraid of the hounds ?" She
smiled and said, "All this, my child, i
know full well; but no sooner do hear
a dog bark, than somehow or other, my
heels take me off as fast as they can
carry me.n
There is no arguing coward into
courage.
