Ihad. Stevens vulgar speech at the

Black bears are travelling through the
woods of Michigan--even approaching the
settlements. One hundred were recently
destroyed In one county. Black Abolition
lists TOO, are travelling, not only In Mich
lgan, but all through the conntry-but
when pursued, they hide in "bureaus."
Thad. Stevens refused to make any pledges
in regard TO the Senatorship-not even a
temperance pledge.
Massachusetts, editor has discovered
that Sumner is the only statesman in Con-
gress. Bad for Congress and the people.
A cotemporary wants to know whether
the radicals have not ruined the negroes.
Before the war, he says, a negro slave In
MARYLAND was worth $1,000. Two weeks
ago four freedmen were sold in that State,
the highest bringing only thirty-seven dol
lars, and he had to bid himself in to get
that. There seems 10 be a shocking depre-
citation In the value of the African gentle
man.
The radical party had as well make good
use of their time, for they or constitutional
government must perish; it viii not be the
latter; and when they do perish. they will
nnd no resurrection. An old epitaph will
do them exactly:
Whilst they lived they aved in clover;
When they died, they died az over"
AS an illustration of what great events
may result from little causes. n cotempora-
ry relates that by the disobedience of lad
in 1909, a garden gate was left open, pig
got In and destroyed few plants, quarrel
between the owners of the pig and the gar
den grew out of it, which spread among
their friends, defeated the Federal candi-
date for the Legislature, and gave the State
a Democratic Senator, by whose vote the
war of 1912 with Great Britain was de-
clared.

The Sumner Revolution Idea.

OF SUMMERS revolutionary programme,
as the Boston Post says, emitting, as was
necessary, to give any plausibility to his
propositions, all mention or observance of
the Constitution of the country. He talks
of a Christian Government and the Declar-
alton of Independence; but of the funda-
mental law of the land, never word. In
short, his plan embraces as complete rev.
olution as would have been effected if the
South had succeeded in the late rebellion,
and If Congress should sustain him in his
design, the national Constitution win be
set at naught; the whole theory of our Re
publican Institutions violated, and an agi-
tation and conflict of opinion, if not action
still more 10 be dreaded, win be inaugura-
ted, placing the whole country ia the
greatest peril.

MARoH WINDS.

The rude March winds, the mad March winds,
What a comiCal part they play
How they bluster, aud huster, and rave, and rear,
And knock at the window, and bang at the door,
tn the most undigniaed way
Unbidden they enter the garden gate,
In eddes, aud whlsks, snd whlrlsi
And as round the house they rush, pell-mell,
Full many a ghostly tale they tell
To the frightened boys and girls
The fierce March wind, the Wild March winds,
What chorus ofelfn sounds
They make, Us they dart down the nearest street
To jostls the passengers of their feet,
As they travel their daily rounds
They pull and tug Mt the old mans heard,
And reddeu the young mans nose
They tumble the apple.stands down IN the snow,
Then whistle and scream Of they go
To siartle the bellies and bsaux
The bold March winds, the cod March winds,
Though they strike to very bones
Yet the sweet little violets lift their heads,
And the daisies start from their wintry beds,
At the sound Of the trumpet tones
Yes, the rude March winds, the mad March winds,
Are the heralds Of balmy Spring,
OF the fragrant breath Of the summer sweet,
The golden bloom Of the corn and wheat,
And the bright birds on the wing

PETROLEUM V. NAsBY.-Mr. D. r.
Locke is one of the manypresent Won
ders Of Washington. His presence on
the floor of the House created as much
excitement as that of triumphantgeu
eral, and as he sat surrounded by visit
ors, and bored for his autograph, he
suggested to every observer that one
mans brain devoted to a good cause
can work incredible results. Mr.
LocBe's genius has proved also that
while some destroy prejudice and vim
dictate truth by argument and invec-
tive, others are equally successful by
employing the weapon of wit and sa-
tire. And it may be said that he has
never yet made a blunder in any one
of his letters. Each points the moral
to some great idea and adorns the tale
of some great event. Washington

WHIrPISG IN ScHooLs-IMPoRrANT DE-
crsIoN--Judge Warren, ofthe Police Court
in Cincinnati, few days ago, fined
teacher in one of the schools I've dollars
for whipping a boy: A cotemporary gives
the grounds Of the decision as fJllowsi
The judge decided that the relation Of
the teacher to the boy was neither judicial,
parental, nor that between master and ser
want; and the inference seems to be that
the right to punish did not exist. There
was no claim that the punishment was eE-
cessive. The Judge thus concludes: "No
moral blame can attach to Mr.. Marvin,
(the teacher.) He exercised what under
the practice Of a long line of predecessors,
he conceived to be his undoubted right
The testimony, taken in connection with
tho high character of the defendant, is
such as TO preclude the idea Of malice, ands
therefore, I am not called upon to infiiGs
vindictive punishment. The defendant
will pay fine of five dollars and costs"
This decision, if sustained by other
Courts, would soon put a stop to whipping
in our schools; but we think it very doubt
full whether it will be sustained. We bol
lieve that corporeal punishment is alto
gether too frequent, both in schools and
families, and might be ndvantageously
substituted by milder forms ofpunishment
in a great majority Of cases, yet we are In
clined to think that it is sometimes neces-
sary. But it should be resorted to rarely.
and only after all other means have failed;
and we believe this is now the practice Of
the wisest parents and best teachers.

Miscellaneous.
The Loss by nOt Taking a COun-
ty Paper.

Generally speaking but little Importance
is attached to the taking of a county news
paper. This neglect and indifference had
its practical reward the other day.
Some time ago gentleman in this town
was appointed an auditor to distribute the
funds in the hands of an administrator
amongst the creditors. Notice of the sit
ting of the auditor was published in two of
the county papers. -...
It so happened that few creditors re-
siding in a certain portion of the county,
who had claims collectively to the amount
or seven or eight hundred dollars, from the
neglect of taking a county paper "aver
heard of the audit until the report OF the
auditor had been confirmed by the court.
They then came to town to inquire about
the likelihood of securing their claims /;
called upon an attorney, who examined
into the matter, and informed them that
they had forever lost their money; and we
presume charged them five dollars for the
information. All this resulted from being
too penurious or too careless to subscribe
for a county paper.
These gentlemen have learned a lesson
that will last them the balance of their
lives and it is n warning to others, who,
for the same motives, fail to take their
county paper.
There is scarcely man in the communi-
ty who will not be caught up some day on
legal notice, that does not take a paper,
unless he clandestinely reads his neigh
boris and every gentleman should be
above literary pilfering like this.-[Ex'
