WE have been remiss in acknowledg-

MorgRntown under Democratic aus
pieces. It is called "The ConStitttion'--
we don't know why unless it is to give
the MononGalia Democracy something

it don't include the "XIVth Article"

We might say blasphemousIy so, for an

advocates holding the Union State
Convention at Clarksburg because it is
the most central and accessible point
named and because it would therefore
equalize the expenses of delegates from
different sections OF the State. Isn't
this discovery or the Generals little
sudden? 1t occurs to us the same ren-
sous are equally good in favor of
Clarksburg as the permanent. seat of
government. Ciarksburg WAS in the
same place during the legislative ses-
sion of 1867 and all these advantages
existed then the same as now. Yet on
the question OF locating the Capital the
General couldn't SEQ either the one or
the other. Besides the reasons mem
toned by the General there is possibly
one more which may not have occurred
to him, viz: that CIarksburE is in the
First Congressio nal District.

o. Nc. Gladstone. tha Enplish stnles-

OF Mr.. Gladstone, the English states
man, 1t Is said that he is a broad
browed man, with a pale, darkiSh
visage, and fine, earnest look, has lost
the forefuger of one hand, by accident,
and, they say, has suffered from neu-
ralgia ever since; one often sees him
putting one hand over the other, while
his countenance indicates pain; and IL
he rises to speak at such times his OPP
poneut commonly gets the benefit oft.
He speaks gravely, in deep baritone
voice, and a hard, curt, nervous me-
tLodical manner, sometimes rising into
eIoauence, sometimes sending out little
bullets of epigram or epithet which go
straight to the mark and always tell.
A man more baited, more villiaed,
more misrepresented than Mr.. Glad
stone has been does not exist in Eng
IRnd-during the fight over his defeated
Reform Bill, he attained a temporary
pre-eminence in this respect over Mr..
Bright. The Tories hate him PERSONAL
ly-frst, because his heart and brain
having outGrOWn his aristocratic pre-
elections, they regard him as desert
er from their ranks; secondly, he is
neither n noblaman nor n squire. There
is no getting over that in England, you
Gladstone doesn't hunt, nor keep race
horses, nor gamble. He is simply one
of the first CommOners in the realm, a
statesman, a scholar and a philosopher.
EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF BooRs.-A
child eagerly examines every object
around it, or, in lack of objects, then
the pictures or images of objects. But
between the child and Nature we inter-
pose an opRqe medicine called a book,
and we expect the child to profit by
symbols, which to us, indeed, are full
of meaning, but which to 1t are myste-
ries, whose Significance Is too slow to
discover. Pedants snort disdainfully
at the thought OF teaching science to
children. Yet what is science in great
part but observation methOdized2 a
child cannot be easily kept from OBJ.
serving, and even from generalIzing.
The question is whether it shall do
both ignorantly, of its own wild fancy,
or under the guidance of maturer
judgment and ampler knowledge. AS
children, not wholly stuPefed by the
compression and distortion of the
school, form for themselves kind of
science, draw differences, and make |
generalizations, probably erroneous,
incomplete, shall be left with |
out guidance, as without encourage |

The report of Mr.. Van Wyck, chairman of
the committee that has been engaged in in
vestigating the whiskey, frauds is a startling
document. 1t brings the responsibilities of
these frauds directly to the door of Mr.. john
son. Among the many facts that support the
grave charge is the following: A revenue in
spector In New York proposed to a collector
that they should put money in their respective
pockets by taking whiskey out of bond for
expectation, substituting water for export and
putting the whiskey on the market. The COL
lector was an honest man and reported his
swindling associate to the Treasury Depart
nent, but Notwithstanding the protest of both
Secretary McCulloch and Commissioner Rol-
Inns the rascal was retained. At another time
the assessors and collectors of New York were
assessed by johnson men from Washington
$4,000 each for political purposes, when it was
well known that the honest income from their
offices could not much exceed that sum. This
was an implied guarantee of impunity from
plundering
Yet there are persons SO stupid as to declare
that the removal of President johnson is cal
culated to create alarm in financial circles and
to endanger the solvency of the Treasury!

Under the above caption the Boston cores
pondent of the Springfield Republican gives
the following account of gentleman with
whom some Of our readers may be acquainted:
Probably not one in one hundred of your
readers has ever heard of Willard Small But
those who are accustomed to read Oliver On
tics admirable Boys and Girls Magazine can
hardly have failed to make his acquaintance
unwittingly. He writes over the mystical
sign of the square root, and all his contrbu-
tioHs are as full of information as an egg is of
meat-to use a trite comparison In many re-
spects he resembles Elihu Burritt, the learned
blacksmith.
He is the sou of apoor farmer, was born /
believe in Auburn, Maine, and now, farmer
himself, lives there. Growing up as all poor
farmers sons grow up, in constant toll, he
was generally regarded by his acquaintance
as stupid, inert fellow, who never would
amount to anything. But the hunger for
knowledge was gnawing his mind incessantly
AT the age OF nineteen he bought his first
book, copy of Legendre's Geometry-having
earned the money for the purchase by hoeing
corn at one cent per hundred hills, after his
regular days work was done. Before he
reached the age of % he had gone three times
through the Mecan que Celes.e. At the age of
ii he could read thirty-one languages readily
and speak fuently seven or eight; it is his
rule to learn one language per year.
He is one of the very few Sanscrit
ScuOIdrS III America. some ten or a dOZ6
years ago he went abroad and travelled exte n
sively. At Paris he attended the sessions of
one of the institutes Il am not sure which,
and went with class OF students through
course of mathematics. Coming home to his
lodgings from these exercises dripping with
perspiration, he used to say, "There are not
five men in the United States who can follow
these boys through such work as this" His
mind seems to have been originally mathe-
NAUTICAL; but his proficiency as a lingust
shows that he has not neglected other depart
ments of learning. And in addition to pure
ly scholarly requirements, he has mastered the
science of law. His industry is almost like
that of a machine; there Is no intellectual
difficulty that can appal, no mental labor that
can weary him.
He is now Sc years old, six feet two inches
in height, in his stockings, and weighs 23O
pounds. In the field he leads the Grew" and
his physical strength may be estimated from
the fact that he lifts 500 pounds with ease. He
sleeps not more than five of the twenty-four
hours, and is strictly temperate in all respects,
using no liquor nor tobacco. 1t is common
question by his friends-What is his object in
life? To this, as to most other interrogatories
he returns no dirct answer but says that he
has an object in life which will appear in good
time. He is married and has one daughter,
nine years old, who speaks French, German,
Italian end Spanish.

The Tvux Cnsa.

Rev. Stephen II. Tying, Jr., was publicly
reprimanded on Saturday morning at the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION in New York,
for violating canon of the Episcopal church
by preaching in another minister's parish
without his consent. This case has attracted
much attention in both religious and secular
circles, and the sympathies of the public have
been pretty generally with the offending cler-
gyman. The sentence of the Court was exc
cuted with great mildness, aud Mr.. Tying
made no reply whatever to the reprimand; but
his father at the conclusion of the Bishops
remarks presented the following vigorous pro-
test:
Right Reverend ir,-It has been your pleas
ure TO approve of the findings of this Court of
presbyters, and you have now administered
the sentence of admoniticn recommended by
them against the respondent. This is your
own act and your own responsibility. /, Ste
phen Fl. Tying, D. D., presbyter in the Pro-
testant Episcopal church, in the diocese OF
New York, and one of the counsel for this
respondent, do most respectfully but firmly
enter my solemn protest against this whole
proceeding now completed from its commence
ment 10 the conclusion, as false in its allega-
tons, unjust in its principle, uncanoHlcal in
its form, Illegal in its transactions, iniquitOuS
in it's purpose, and voluntarily and persistent
ly prosecuting IN its spirit, process and devel-
opnent and / do so.emniy appeal from this
decision of this court and from this approval
thereof by the Bishop of this diocese, under
the most earnest sense of the cruel injus-
tice with which this responent has been treat
ed, to the supreme final decision of the Gen
eral Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States, to the abiding
sense of justice and righteousness in the in
diyidual members of the church, to the con
sclent!ous review of the Christian church
throughout the land. to the record of future
historic truth, to generations or advancing
light and religious purity and power which
may come hereafter, and with the deepest hui
mility, but with confidence unfeigned, to the
judgment seat of the Lord Jesus Christ, who
IS the one great Head and Ruler of His
Church, and whose approval can never be Civ
en- to the persecution of the innocent or 10

Political Notes.

The recent ovation to jeff. Davis in New
Orleans creates so much nervousness among
the Democratic leaders that Moses Bates of
Massachusetts, now in Louisiana on business,
publishes a card denounciug the "superlative
folly of the late leader of the Southern Con-
federacy, who manifests his willingness to haz-
ard the great work of reunion to crafty his
inherent love of personal admiration.
The Arkansas election began ON Friday, and
is progressing quietly. The registered voters
are fifty-four thousand, of whom abo ut TWEEN
ty thousand are negroes, The vote on calling
convention was $4,000 in favor, and II 300
against. The Union men are confident that
the constitution will be adopted.
The Florida election is to take place Oh the
fourth, fifth and sixth days of May, unless
an earlier day is fixed upon by Gen. Meade
who has telegraphed to Gen. Grant for advice
on the subject.
1t is expected that the impeachment mana
gers viii file their replication to the Presi-
dents answer ON the oath and that the trial
will proceed on Wednesday the 25th
1t is said that the President and his friends
no longer rely upon the cooperation of con-
servative Republican Senators to bring about
an acquittal since the denial of forty days
time in which to make preparation for the de-
fence. Mr.. johnson is busily engaged in look
ing up precedents and making suggestions to
his counsel. For the first time since the com.
mencement of his administration he is said tC
look worn out "both mentally and physi
cllly."

PORTLAND AND OGDENsBURa.-The Yer
mont people are thoroughly alive about this
line. A responsible offer has already been
received for the construction of the Lamoille
Valley section at $29,O 600 mile, and it is be-
lieved that $4,000 mile will build the road
and depots and pay land damages. In order
to float the bonds it is estimated that local
subscription of $4,000 will be required. Of
this sum 100000 have already been subscrib-
ed by the towns of Wolcott, Morristown, Hyde
park and johnson; the remaining towns in
the valley may be relied upon, the St. Adams
Messenger says, for 100000, leaving only $780,
600 to be raised by private subscription
