What it all means.

Soon after the Convention which
nominated Seymour and Blair, a
great ratification meeting was held
in Richmond, Va. during the war
the capitol Of the rebel confederacy.
At this ratification meeting, FIX Gov.
errors Henry A. Wise and Vance
were present and spoke. The Rich
mond Dispatch, a democratic paper
says. that Wise declared that "he
supported Blair because he had pro.
missed a rerolution land denounced as
q talsehood the first resolution, which
alleges secession to be dead, declar-
ing it 'more alive than ever" Vance
however, rivaled Wise in frankness.
He declared that ",otdt the Conteder-
acy fought for aC0uld be ICON By the
election OF Seymour and Blair"

Haircutting by Schoolmistresses.

Mrs. MeihuiSh, a schoOimlstreSs OF
Exeter, England, was lately charged
before the city magistrates with cut
ting off the hair Of one Of her pupils.
The pupil, a boy, had fine curly head
when he went to the defendant 5
school in the morning in the even-
ing, when he returned home, his curls
had been cut off His mother went
to the school, and defendant explains
ed thut she had cut off his hair from
kindness. as she thought the child
looked better without the curls than
with them. The mother was Of
different opinion it was great
'piece of impudence, she said The
defedse was that the boys head was
dirty, and, therefore, the defendant
was justified in what she did. The
Mayor told Mrs. Melhuish that in
cutting the childs hair she bad done
an illegal act ; but as there did not
appear to be any malicious purpose,
the fine would be sixpence and costs.
THEN AND Now.-Dr. Franklin
described the farmers condition in
1875 as follows:
Farmer al the pillow,
Wife milking COW;
Daughters spinning yarn,
Sons threshing in the barn
All happy to a charm.
DR.. J, &C. Smith gives the account
for 1868 as follows
The farmer gone to see a show.
His daughters at the piano;
Madame gaily dressed in satin
All the boys are learning latin
With mortgage the farm
&c IL. Pendleton says "Blair's
father was the nearest friend Of An
drew Jackson, his brother the conf
dant and adviser of Lincoln" And
he might have added that he himself
was one of Lincoln hirelings."
Among the delegates to the
Copperhead National Convention
was James G. Williams, of Tennessee,
who is as black as charcoal. He was
regular accredited delegate and
they could not turn him out if they
had wished to.
Among the Democratic Com
gressmen who, since Seymour's
nomination, have declared for Grant
and Colfax, is Thomas Il. Stewart,
Mr.. Rymond's successor from the
Sixth New York district.

The MONUMENT TO LUTHER. Ac-
counts by mail show the Inaugural
ton of the Luther monument at
Worms, on the 25th of last month, to
have been one of the grandest de-
monstrations of modern times. The
King Of Prussia took the leading part
in the ceremony, assisted by Princes
and eminent men from all parts Of
Europe. The city of Worms, which
is three fourths Catholic, was over
whelmed by a visitation of ninety
thousand people, and had to overflow
into all the neighboring towns, after
taxing its own hospitality to the ut
most. The German enthusiasm for
the great hero fairly obliterated for
the time the distinction Of Catholic
and Protestant, and all joined in dos
ing honor to man who is universal
ly recognized, not only as the author
Of the Reformation, but as the father
of German literature. and one of the
grandest spirits of modern times.

CANARY TRAITs.-A lady in this
city had q canary bird hanging in its

aryship permitted to the freedom of
the room. A day or two since he
happened to fly on mantle shelf,

long and curiously at himself, and
came to the conclusion he had found
mate. Going back to his cage he
selected seed from its box and
brought it in its bill as an offering TO
the stranger. In vain be exerted
himself to make his new found friend
partake, and becoming weary of that,
he tried another tack. Stepping
back a few inches from the glass, he
poured fourth his sweetest notes,
pausing now and then for a reply
None came. Moody and disguised.
he flew back to his perch, hanging
his head in silence for the rest of the
day and although his door was re-
peatedly left open, refused to come

THE INFLUENCE OF Our PUBLIC
SCHOOLS During the last three weeks
7ot less than seven families have
moved to our city for the express
purpose Of being able to avail them
selves OF the privileges Of the public
schools of Evansville This is a mat
ter that speaks in the interest of the
city quite as much as any other one
thing, and It is a matter that our PEG
pie ought to feel proud of. There is
no city in Indiana that can boast bet
ter schools than Evansville. The
high tone of those schools, and their
efficient management, is due entirely
to the efforts of men who have the
education of the masses at heart, and
have labored accordingly. That there
are enemies 70 the Free School System
in our midst who would, if they dared
openly to do so,strike a death-blow
at the s. stem to -day, there is not and
cannot be doubt. The laboring man,
whose children enjoys the advantages
Of tuition to the value Of hundreds of
dollars each year, and who, for that
privilege does not pay, perhaps, five
dollars of tax, ought to consider the
matter.
