Gen. Meade


There is something unusually signi1l-
cant in the action of Gen. Meade. He
is sent into the South as a Conservative
to carry out what The National I7ltelti-
Qencer calls President JOhnsOu's great
work of constitutional freedom. Pope
according to the President, was only
the agent of the Radical party, and la
boring for the success Of the Republi-
can organization. Meade is General
Of Conservative instincts, and popular
Iy to supposed to be Democrat. Yet,
before he is fully warm in his command
he removes the Governor OF Georgia
the State Treasurer, and clerk IN the
Court, besides giving the support Of the
military power to an act of the Con-
venCion.
This does not surprise US. Gen,
Meade is an honest, straightforward
man, and knows his duty. He finds
certain laws, and he executes them,
not as President Johnson desires, but
in accordance with the will of COngTess.
He might initiate HancOCk-tbe PEesi-
dents second edition of Washington
and give us a Tammany Hall adminis-
tration. He might remand the whole
region under his command 10 the con-
trOI of Rebel Courts and reasonable
executive officers. he might very
speedily induce anarchy in his COM
mand, and secure a Democratic nom
inRtiOn for some Office, by reducing the
SOulh 70 q conQlt4Ou OF ruin. ne cputu
hope for little from Congress. BE saw
Sickles degraded because he stood by
reconstruction. He saw Stanton driV-
en- from the Cabinet. He saw promo
tiOns attend the Rousseaus and Gran
gers-promotion that the Senate we're
willing TO confirm SO that his profess
sionaI interests, as well as the teuden-
cies of his mind, led US to expect CON
serYat tive retrOgressive administration.
Cen Meade has CeFtainlW no EuCh
purpose. He will do his duty, wheth-
er il pleases the President or not. And
the country viii honor him for his bold
ness.-[N. Y. Tribune.

The Ocean Bottom.

Mr.. Green, the famous diver, tellssin
gular stories of his adventures, when
makAug search in the deep waters of the
ocean. He gives some new sketches of
what he saw at tn "Silver Bank" near
Haytt:
The banks or coral on which my div
ings were made are about forty miles in
length, and from ten to twenty in
breadth. On this bank of coral is pre-
sented to the diver one of the most beau
tiful and sublime scenes the eye ever
beheld. The water varies from ten to
one hundred feet in depth, and so clear
that the diver can see from two to three
hundred feet when submerged, with
but little obstruction to the sight.
The bottom of the ocean in many pla-
ces, is as smooth as marble floor; in
others studded with coral columns, from
ten to one hundred feet in height, and
from one ( 0 eighty feet in diameter.
The tops of those more lofty support
miriad of pyramidal pendants, each
forming a myriad more, giving reality
to the imaginary abode of some water
nymph. In other places the pendants
form arch after arch, and, as The diver
stands on the bottom OF the ocean, and
Razes through III the deep winding aven-
ues, he finds that they fill him with as
sacred an awe as if he were ia some old
cathedral which had long been buried
beneath old ocean's wave. Here and
there the c0Fat eALeHuB even 10 bnG sur
face of the water, as if the l0ftier col
umns were towers belonging to those
stately temples that are now in ruins.
There were countless varieties Of di-
ninutive trees, shrubs, and plants in
every orevice of the corals where water
had deposited the earth. They were all
of a faint hue, owing to the pale light
they received, although of every shade,
and entirely different from plants that I
am familiar with that vegetate upon
dry land. One in particular attracted
my attention ; it resembled q sea-fan Of
Immense size of variegated c0lOrs, and
the most brilliant hue. The fish which
inhabIt these "Silver Banks" found as
different in kind as the scenery was va
ried. They were of all forms, color and
sizes-from the symmetrical Roby to the
globe-Hl1e sunfish; from the dullest hue
to the changeable dolphin from the
spots of the leopard to the hues of the
sunbeam from the harmless minnoW
to the vorHcious shark.
Some had heads like squirrels, others
like cats and dogs, some Of small size
rasembled the bull terriers Some dar-

Our State Charities.

The Board Of state Charities of Ohio
makes its first report this year. The re-
COMMUNICATIONS embodied in it are made
after much reelection, and the inspec-
ton of the penal and benevolent insti-
tutions of Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts. It is urged by the board
that as our Penitemtiary is oVer-crOWd-
ed, new prison should be built having
especial reference to those criminals W no
are less guilty than the hardened fel-
Ons, and may properly be subjected TO a
punishment intermediate between that
of the Peuitentiary and the Reform
School. The report also calls for an en-
tire change in the internal arrange ement
Of our county jails SO that the inmates
may be classified, kept healthy and
clean, and be able to spend their time
usefully in study or labor. The county
infrmaries also need attention. The
condition of some Of them is simply
brutal. Provision should be made for
that neglected clsss, the cOlOred insane.
The Reform School was found to be In a
highly satisfactory condition. The
House of Refuge was also in good order
although, in the opinion of the Commit
tee, unfortunately located too near the
city. The report recommends that
provision be made Tor the accOmmo oda-
tiou of coIored youth either In this in
stitutiOn or one like il. A Reform
School for girls is a necessity, aud its
speedy establishment is urged.

ted through the water like meteors,
while others could scarcely be seen to
move at all.
To enumerate and explain al the var
ious kinds of fish 1 beheld while diving
on these banks would, were I enough
OF a naturalist as to do, require more
than my limits allow; for am cen
vinced that most of the kinds of fish
which iuhabit the tropical seas can be
found there. The sun hsh, star fish,
white shark and blue or shOYel-nose
shark were often seen.
There were also fish which reaembled
plants, and remained as hsh in their
position as a shrub, they only power
they possessed was to open and shut
when in danger. Some Of them resen-
bled the rose when in full bloom, and
were of all hues.. There were ribbon
fish, from four or I'VE inches to three
feet in length ;.their eyes are very large,
and protrude like those Of a frog,
Another hsh is spotted like leOp-
ard, from three to ten feet in length
They build their houses like beavers, in
which they spawn, and the male or fe-
male watches the egg until it hatches.
I saw many specimens Ofthe green tur--
tie, some five feet long, which should
think would weigh from 400 to 500
pounds.

A Business Face.

Most business men have an express
sion of cOuutenance peculiar to their
hours Of toll. As the knights and men
alarms in the days of chivaIry wore
their mail with the beaver and visor of
their hemlet closed as they went 20 the
field, but laid aside their plate for silk
en- garments when the fray was over,
so these champions, in a stuggle not
less trying, often wear an impenetra-
bic mask in business hours, and lay it
aside only in their moments Of relaxa-
ton from their daily pursuits.
The other day, one who had known
brother merchant only in his count
.ing-house, met him by chance as he was
frolicking with his children in the play
ground, and failed at first to recognize
him in what seemed a strange disguise.
The hard lines of the face, the stern,
questioning look, the fmperious gesture,
the bold, almost defiant attitude, were
gone, add in their place there was be-
nevOlent smile, a dimpled cheek, and a
cRressing fondness of manner that
seemed to belong to another being.
Part of this business armor is assn m
ed for effect, but much oft is the un-
conscious preparation for the daily
struggle made by those who have had
some experience of losses in by-gone
conflicts. Suspicion, born of repeated
betraYals; doubt, almost justified by
the prevalence of deceit; wary, restless,
watchful eye, trained to such activity
by unprovoked attacks; an uupitying
curve Of the lip, proof alike against the
solicitation ofchronic beRgary and the
appeals of simulated distress & rigid
veil of uuconcern to hide the eagerness
which would defeat itself in a bargain,
the tension of muscle and nerve ready,
| like the bent bow, for sudden action; all
these signs and many more, which are
/ familiar to everyday observation, often
mark the man Of business prepared for
/ his daily task.
This arming for the counting
as for battlefield, has many advan-
tageH. We discussed, the other day, the
best method of relaxation, showing the
Importance Of total change in the bent
/ Of the mind to secure any refreshmeni
/ for the WeRried body. But this habi
iofWeariug an unnatural face and man.
ner during business hours renders sucE
reposs doubly difficult. Tho warrior
becomes accuEtomed to the mail, anC
I wears &c unconsuiously when there Is NJ
/ impending STRIFE. The rigid features
fix themselves in g habit OF stern In

dexibility, and the hard, uuIoYiBg face
frowns with its business aspect upon
the tender gaities Of the family circle,
chilling the atmosphere Of home, and
blighting all social JOY. The wife can
hardly recognize IN this sombre coun-
tenance the face that beamed upon her
bridal hour; the children shrink from
the cold caress and fear to meet the for
bidding glance, which has in it no touch
of parental fondness.
We do not say that those who dwell
amid the defended preoints Of the fam
lily circle can do nothing to help the
husband and father, upon whom such
habits are creeping, ere these become
iudeIIbly fastened. As delicate hands
OF old aided TO remove morton and
breastplate, and even to unbind the
armed sandals, that the warrior might
rest at ease, so there are tender minis
tries now which VIII easilY charm the
rugged lines of the sternest froWn into
a smile of. peace and sweet content
Those who only suffer, making no at
tempt to furnish the cheer for which
their hearts are longing, must share the
blame for their cup Of misery.

A Paris Wedding.

The correspondent Of the London Tel
egrdDh writes from Paris:
tsYet another bit of the news Of the
hour. We went to-day to assist at a
wedding. The bride, the 'fairer daugh-
ter of fair mother; the bridegroom,
an officer in the line and the nephew Of
a distinguished Mexican marshal The
ceremony took place in the magnificent
new church, or rather basiiica, Of the
Holy Trinity. There Is not q finer build
ing Ia Paris. The galleries, the vaulted
roof, the painted wind oWs, and the mag
nificenG coup a. OeiE bring one back al
most to Rome, and to the 'Basidca di
San Paolo fuOri le mure.' To-day, in
deed, we had the tdim, religious light
rather in excess, but the effect of the
dickering waxlights and the semi hush
ed music almost reconciled one to the
chastity and ghostlY effect Of several
dozens of respectable men, dressed in
full evening costume. The thing which
most impressed me was the presence Of
the two 'beadles of the parish'-not the
little beadles which we tread upon in
everyday life, but two great sturdy
maj0rs-dOmO, each big enough to make
an adiutant, who was keen about,
drum-majors, Jealous, seven feet high,
dressed like medieval seneschals, and
who, during the ceremony, emphatical-
" said, Hear, hear by dabbing down
their staff of Office. The great fact of a
wedding in Paris is to be present and
sign the book. am sure have signed
dozens. You know you fare not respon-
sible."
