A Lesson from John Jay.

John Jay, one OF The fathers Of the
Revolution of 1906, the friend of Geo.
Washington, the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, and, at the day Of his
death, probably the most honored
and trusted man in the Republic, was
once candidate for Governor of New
York, In the canvass he was assail,
ed because he had been President of
the Abolition Society of his State =
and to his assailants he thus replied
in a letter which is worthy of attene
ton to-day
"In my opinion, every man, of ev-
cry color and description, has nat
ural right to freedom. To promote,
by virtuous means, the extension of
the blessings of liberty, to protect a
poor and friendless race Of men, their
wives and children, from the snares
and violence of men>stealers, to pro-
vide instruction for children who were
destitute of the, means of education,
and who, instead Of pernicious, will
now become useful members of soci-
ETY., are certainly objects and cares
Of which no man has reason to be
ashamed, and for which no man ought
to be censured."
Words worthy of a patriot and
Christian The work that Mr.. Jay
commenced the Republicans continue.
They see in the body polite q large
mascot men, created, like themselves,
in the image of God.

Tor this reason. viz in the towns OF.
Blue River. Ellenboro, Glen Haven,
Harrison Hickory Grove, Lima, Lit
tie Grant, Fennimore, MiIlville and

port deficits; and quite number Of
these towns report money as being

count is given IL to how 1t was rails.
ed And in many districts the inn
portanee OF voting taxes separately
Tor the several purposes specified,
was LOST sight of; hence you will find
IN these cases taxes all put into ono
sum as money received from all oth>
err sources or under the head "teach-
era wages, thus rendering the re-
port very imperfect and untrustwor-
thy as a guide to the amount Of mon.
ey raised or expended for particular
purposes. So in the body Of the re-

some districts, TOR example, report a
number Of pupils under four or over
twenty as attending school but give
no account Of the number Of days at
tendance and some town clerks re-
port the"total days attendance As the
number OF days the school has been
taught > other give DO report OF the
number attending school, &c. There
is no way to remedy these errors, but
for the people to elect as district and

write the English language, and, at
least, add an ordinary &C umn Of fig.

GyThe Daily Courier, the rebel
democratic organ in Louisville, is not
at all pleased with Shermans speech
before the "Army of the Tennessee.
In fact, it ''can find no words strong
enough TO express our indignation"
at that part of General Sherman's
speech wherein he wonders how any
Southern man can speak of the lost
cause, in language other than that of
shame and sorrow" The Courier in
sists "that it is impossible to connect
infamy with the lost cause, as it is to
connect vice with holy religion
There is not man in the South "but
glories in, and is proud of, the part
he took in the war" The same pa
per that gave utterance to the above,
a few days since, was for Sherman as
the copperhead candidate for Presi>
dent, on the occurrence of certain
emergency. 1t evidently would not
give him very warm support now.

4 Good Mother.

She is a good mother who brings up
her children to wOrk-tO work in the
kitchen ifyOu please. We shall never
have good puddings and pies, chowders
and fricassees, while the ladies are
taught that it is a disgrace to learn to
cook. The time may not come when
the daughters of wealth shall be Oblig-
ed to take their stand in the Kitchen
but should they not know how to bake
and wash? What is a young woman
fit for whose mother allows her to lie
in bed till ten o'clock and who, when
she rises sings a song or two, and sits
down to the last new novel ? She
may answer for the wife of wealthy
fOp: and a miserable life-miserable
indeed-wilI she live. Far better for
her, no matter what her condition in
after life may be-whether she mar
ries a fortune in gold, or fortune in
real wOrth-if she is brought up to
work. Her life, in comparison to one
brought up in idIeness and folly,
would be a season of real enjoyment,
and the influence she exerted would
be glorious indeed. What mother
will be 50 unwise as to teach her
daughters that work is degrading,
while lying in bed, dressing in fash
iOny and reading mere trash, is elevat-
ing and dignifying ?-[The Ladies'

Amatrs in Iapan.


The State Department learns that
Quo TomogorO and Matsmata Judaya,
the japanese Commissioners, safely
returned to Yeddo on the 26th of
July. They write to the. Secretary of
State expressing much satisfaction
with their visit to this country.
The civil war in Japan is over, and
peace reestablished. Chosin returns to
his allegiance, disbands his army, and
sIrrenders on the terms accorded him.
The other insurgent Princes had re-es-
tablished their good relations with the
Tycoon. The Minister of Foreign
Affairs said to Mr.. Van Valkenburg,
that E'All now seemed to be pleasant,
but it is impossible to tell how long
peace will continue, there are so many
bad men in Japan"
According to the terms of the treaty
it is to be understood that no one is to
be admitted to YeddO except for pur-
poses of trade, which means imports
and exports only, and which does not
mean the erection Of grog-shops or the
prOmiscuous intercourse of VISITORS
Such intercourse would be full of dan
ger in the present unsettled condition
of public sentiment in regard to for
eigners in Japan.

Miscellaneous.
Plain Truth.

There are not enough wOrkmen in
the land, and there are too many
clerks. There are boys at work on
farms who should be behind store
counters and bank desks, and there
are bright-bOOted "skeesiX" behind
counters who should be hopping cIods
behind the pIow. To all such we re-
spectfully submit the following home
ly but true sentences; and the perUsal
of them will be good for false pride
and effeminacy in all ATTITUDES, wheth-
er swelling in broadclOths or fTetting
under denims: There is too much idle
ness in the land, and too many persons
s'Out of their element" There are
young men pretending to practise law
or physic; young men instructing a
half dozen pupils, young men selling
a few yards of ribbon per day; young
men, who have no business there, at
college; young men "farming," all of
whom ought to be differently occupied.
There are young men clerking in no.
tells and banking companies where
there is not full employment for them.
There are young ladies by scores en-
gagged in reading novels, or entertain
ing beaux. There are all sorts of
agencies, ten thousand shifts to live,
no matter how, so that it is not by
manual labor. In a word, the mar
ket of headwOrk is glutted, while the
hammer, the plane, the trowel, the
Ak; the hoe,a are crying for Istalwart
arms to grasp them. The idea is that
a trade is not just the thing for a
young man who considers himself as
good as anybody. 1t is Thought bet
ter thing to be a jack-Ieg lawyer, or
to murder the people with a doctors
diploma, or to weigh butter, than to
build a house, or make a sewing ma
chine, or construct. a, steam engine
The agent of somebody's vegetable
pills is thought a more eligible match
for your daughter than the man who
prints a newspaper or a book. So it
is a foolish and often fatal pride which
makes thousands shrink from the me-
chanic arts; and those very men who,
by life of honest industry, have Sc
cured high position in the commu-
nifty, and a respectable competence for
their families, turn their backs upon
their occupations, and trim. their sons
out for something that will not soil
their white hands," .- ...-... s.....

The Dayton Journal tells the follow
ing "yarn:" ga few months ago a
gentleman moved to this city, and pur-
chased nice property, and, among
other things TO contribute to his con-
Yenience and comfort, procured a fine
horse and carriage. A likely cOlored
boy was. employed at a fair salary, to
takercharge of the establishment, and
discharge the numerous duties which
arise around a well regulated home
stead. For a time things wentFon
smoothly with 'Ghores,' but latterly
he seemed out Of spirits, and seldom
smiled. Ills employer observed this
despondent demeanor Of 'Chores,2 , and
be deterRinPd to get at the bOttUm of
it. Perhaps he was in love! But no
matter. Taking Chores aside one
day, when he looked more gloomy
than usual, he inquired, CONSIDERABLY,
what it was that allied him. .n'WeH you
see, Mars'r,' began Chores in a sort
of a tragic style, 'you's got but one
hOss, while all the gentlemen bout
hea has two; an all de boys da calls
me a One-hOss nigger; and, as 1 can't
stand dat, spects I'll have for to re
sign! likes you fuss rate, Mars'r,
an' I'd like to stay if you had two
hosses; but you see how it .is-de
boys da. can't quit hOllering -'dere

ing to lose the services of so valuable
an assistant, a second horse was pur-
chased, and Chores became a two
hoss nigger." m.- :. ..-ra . s
