A few days ago, The Times said: .'Mr.
Pendleton has not assaulted the bondhold-
ers, but he has made war against their
unjust exactions.' To this a "God and
humanity" newspaper replies: "The as
sertion that the bondholders are making
unjust exactions is wilfully and malicious
ly false" AS reason for this charge of
falsehood, it is alleged that the bonds are
not yet due, and the bondholders do not
ask for cent of the principal of their
claims.
The bondholders demand that, if the
government shall exercise it's privilege to
redeem in five years from the date Of the
issue Of the bonds. the redemption shall
be in gold. This is an unjust exaction,
be cause the terms Of the agreement are
that the bonds may be redeemed in eur
rency. 1t is an unjust exaction, because
it requires the people to pay more than
twice as much as they received. 1t is an
unjust exaction. because, contrary to law,
the bondholders demand that they shall
be paid, on their claims against the gov
eminent, a larger sum than other credito,s
of the nation having equally just claims
Of like amount.
How does the charge of "wilful and
malicious falsehood' stand now?- Chtca-

In our last issue april Sth) we copied
letter to the Dubuque Herald, from its
regular correspondent at Des Moiaes, j.
G. ARMSTRONG, showing change of front
on the r. r. question. We explain: The
43d ''letter" to the Herald, of prior date,
was telegraphed to that paper by Add er
and not by Mr.. Armstrong. West Union
was its author. The Herald did not rep
resent or encourage, in any way, the
Clique Of Graves, Smith & Co., but on the
contrary was for "Sioux City" The first,
a telegraph, copied by the West Union
papers and mistaken by US for letter was
Of ADD origin, and Fayette Co. gave it
birth. Armstrong is visiting our city as
We write and he assures us of tits fact
We very cordially exempt him from du.
plicity or change Of front. Nothing from
his pen or from any of the suills Of the
Herald has favored the 43d.ers except in
the general way Of floating "reports.
This 10 written in justice to those whom
we thought We had reason to blame.

Caused a Tempest.

Horace Mann used to tell capital
story of a conversation he once had with
an inmate of the lunatic asylum at Wor-
cester, whose peculiar mania resulted from
an nordinate development of the bump of
self-esteem. Many man of self-conceit has
been as much MISUNDERSTANDING great
effects were to be ascribed solely to his
whistlings. whats the news, sir? Has
anything unusual happened of late, sir?'
inquired he, with consequential air.
Mr.. Mann happening to recollect that a
furious storm had occurred a few days
previous, gave him some account of it,
mentioning that on the sea coast it was
very severe, several vessels having been
driven ashore and wrecked, with the loss
of many lives. ''Can You remember,
sir, what night in the week all that hap
pened?" eagerly inquired the listener.
Mr.. Mann said he believed it was the
night of Tuesday. "Ah!' said the lu-
matte, with an air of solempity, mingled
with triumph, and lowering his voice to a
whisper, Il can account for it, sir. That
was the night when | whistled so"

The Honey Guide.

Among the birds of Africa, there is
one called the Honey Guide which
DR.. Livingstone says seems almost design
ed as a type of the Christian missionary.
The "Honey Guide" is an extraordinary
bird: how is it that every member of his
family has learned that all men, whether
white or black, are fond of honey? The
instant the little fellow gets a glimpse of
a man, he hastens to greet him with the
hearty invitation to come, as NJ Cha
translated it, to beehive and take some
honey. He flies on in the proper direc-
ton, perches on tree, and looks back
to see if you are following; then on anoth-
er and on another, until he guides you
to the spot. If you do not accept his
first invitation, he follows you with press
ing opportunities, quite as anxious to
lure the stranger to the beehive as other
birds airs to draw him away from their
own nests. Except when on a march,
our men were sure to accept the invita-
ton, and manifested the same by a pecu-
liar responsive whistle, meaning, as they
said, "All right, go ahead; We are com
ing" The birds never deceived them;

Rockets.

1t is generally known that the lower
part of the city of Richmond that,
which is farthest down the Everywhere
the steamboats, and ships discharge their
cargoes, is called Rockets. l have of
ten wondered why it was called so. On
asking for information on the subject,
various answers have been given to my
inquiries. Some have suggested that the
British probably threw rockets into that
part of the city in the Revolutionary
war, and the name was derived from that
circumstance. Others have imagined
that it was so called, because in the mid
die of the river at that place, two small
rocks rise above the surface of the water.
But the answer, most commonly given TO
the question is: $ cannot tell. No
body knows This answer was not
very satisfactory. The books written
about Richmond do not explain the mys-
terry. AT last some light was obtained
on the subject.
Before there was any village or town
where Richmond now stands, a man by
the name of Rockets kept ferry on
James river near the mouth of ellis S
creek. Of course the place where he
lived was called Rockets, and his ferry,
Rockets ferry. Long afterwards We
had Rockets warehouse, and in all proba-
bility the lower part of the city of Rich
mond will be always called Rockets. This
information has been derived from two
ladies, who beyond all controversy, may
be considered as among our oldest in
habitants. They are more than eighty
years of age, and were once much in the
society of persons well acquainted with
the localities of the city and Its tradi-
tionary history. In the earlier part of
their lives they indeed lived at Rockets
and had many exemplary, intelligent,
and piOus people for their neighbors.
They are themselves an ornament to any
society, and through all their lives have
been distinguished for their piety and
active benevolence. SENEX.

A Good Receipt.

We have receipts innumerable for pre-
serving all kinds of fruits for long pc.
Rod. Here is good one for preserving
boys for a whole lfetime-on the farm.
Let every farmer who has boys try it.
1t is warranted to do no HARM
Another thing; the boys want an IN
terest in the business, and the sooner you
give them an investment in the farm or
its stock, the more likely you will be to
make farmers of them. 1t is true, the
law gives you the right to the avails of
their labors until they reach their major
ity. 1t may be true that these services
are no more than fair compensation for
the expenses of their childhood. The
intercourse of parents and children should
not always be graduated by the legal
scale. You do not want your son for a
servant, but for companion, and sup
port in your declining years. You want
to attach him by affection and interest
to the soil that he cultivates. Begin
then early to indemnity his interests with
your business, as if he was under no OBJ
legations to you. If he fancies stock,
give bin what he likes, and let the in
crease be his. Especially encourage him
to plant orchards or vineyards of the
finest varieties of fruit Teach him to
bud, graft, prune, ripen and market all
the fruits of your climate. Furnish him
with all the books and facilities that he
needs to study and to practice pomology
and horticulture. If properly encour-
aged, he will take an interest in these
things very early, and before he is old
enough to think of leaving your roof,
his tastes will be formed, and his course
in life will be determined. His heart
will 90 down into the soil with the roots
of every fruit tree that he plants, and
the orchards and gardens of the old
homestead, or of another close by, will
be his paradise, from which nothing but
necessity can drive him.-Agrtculturist.
