WHAT TIE SOUTH ANTS.

The rebel General Lee and some
thirty o-her Confederate Generals have
addressed q letter to General Rose
Grams, informing the country through
him Of what the South wants and re-
qnires.
After dwclling upon the love they
al owe the negroes. anu how kindly
they are willing to treat them, these
rebels, unanno,nted and unannealed,
declare that
The great want Of the South is
peace The people earnestly desire
tranquility, and the restoration OF the
Union. they deprecate disorder and
excitement as the most serious obsta-
Gle to their prosperity. They ask a
restoration OF their rights under the
Constitution. They desire relief
from oppressive mi,rule. Above all,
they would appeal to their country
men for the rc-estabiisIment in the
Southern States Of that which has
justly been regarded as the bir,hright
Of every -Anerican-thc right Of self
government.
This is all very well, but it would
be quite as appropriate for 50 many
coliyicts in Il penitentiary to proclaim
that all they wanted, il restored
to liberty, was honesty and fair deal
inf
What has The South done to indi-
cate that she wants peace? Was it
manifested in the New Orleans riots?
Is it daily manifested in the utleraHces
OF her public press and public men !?
Does Wade Hampton want peace

null and void: Does Robert Toombs,
or the pirate Selnmes, or the butcher
Forrest? DO the ku-klux klans
desire tranquility at the South,
while committing their midnight MUIR

We do not think it quite becoming
in Mr. Lee and his fellow Confeder-
atcs to cIa;nor for seit.goyernmeilt,
when everywhere Union men are So
cially ostracised, and the press teens
with vitupcration ofthem. The South
must remember that Union men are
their masters. and SO ut least their
equals. The South can have peace
and tranquility, but not by following
in the footsteps which led to one re-
bellion, and by threatening another. :

Buried Alive,

A carpenter named Pisrrie Rocheku, and
residing in the outskirts OF Paris declared
that when be died be should like 10 be buried
with his ham ner BY his side in the coffin
that should contain his body.
"Why sof'. vas the oft.repeated question;

One day, while saving board, The ear.
pentsr suddenly clssped his hammer to his
breast aud fell niotionless upon the floor.
The doctors were sent for. They looked
wise and said, "heart disease" So PierFes
coffin was made, and he was buried with the
hammer by bis side, as be desired
He laid up some money in the baDk-two
thousand frances or tbereabouts-snd al
though it was suspected that he had left win
yet no will could be found. This caused q
quarrel among his relatives when they met
at his house. Each one declared that Pierris
had often told him ithe speaker that be

From words these loving creatures almost
came TO blows; but in the midst Of their

a grim smile, that being the nearest relative

money myself. You were in great hurry

wanted my hammer BY my side. Not being

Foreign Gossip.

An English paper tells of circum-
location in the British War Office. 1t
says there is is tradition, said to be
historical, concerning a clerk in the
War Office, Who wanted a peg where
upon to hang his hat. To save the ex-
pense Of carpenter he applied for a
hammer and nail, with which to drive
it in himself. Six months passed be-
fore he received any answer to his re-
quest and he had long ago set up a
peg of his own, when a special mes
senger of the Tower arrived in Pail Mall
with a hammer, sent to him at last
throuh the medium of numberless
acquisitions and authorizations. At the
same time he was informed that it was
not the province of the power officials
to supply nails, but that those would
come to him from Woolrich, and after
a few months further waiting they
really did arrive-a pound of nails,
brought by great ambulance wagon,
with its half dozen horses and its dozen
attendants.
A new fashion is announced in Paris.

implements is an en-tom-cas-hitched

hats and plumes, and high boots with

Left over by the Other Girl.

The following story is going the
rounds in Paris: A lady in the first
society was recently obliged to dismiss
her nurse on account of an excess of
fremen and private soldiers too often
repeated. After choosing as success
sor to this criminal a very pretty girl,
she explained why the first was sent
away, enjoined it on the second not to
do likewise. She admitted that she
shouldn't. Il can endure great deal,
said the lady, but soldiers about the
kitchen l won't endure After week
or ten days the lady came down one
morning into the kitchen, opened the
cupboared and discovered a youthful
military character. oh, ma'am,' cried
the terrified girl, i give you my word
that never saw that soldier in all my
'lise-he must be one of the old ones

How to Cure Cancer.

A Milwaukee paper states that some eight
months ago, Mr.. I B Mason, of that city,
ascelt'ined that he had cancer on his face
the size Of piu. 1t was cut out by DR..
Wolcott and the wound par iaIly healed.
Subsequently it grew again, and, while hs
was at Cincinnati on business. III attained
hs size of hickory nut. He remained
there since Christmas under treatment and
is now trfectly cured. The process is this:
A piece of sticking plaster was put over the
cancer, With circular piece cut out Of the
centre a little lager than the cancer, 30 that
the cancer and q small circular rim Of the
healthy skin next TO 1t were exposed. Then
pas ter made Of chloride Of zinc, blood root
and wheat -four was spread on q piece Of
muslin the size Of this circular opening, and
applied to the cancer fJr tweuty-four hours
On removing il, tie cancer viii be found
burnt into and appear of the color and hard
ness Of an old shre SOLE and the circnlar rim
out eide Of il will appear white and parboiled,
as If scslded by hot steam. Ths wound ia
now dressed, and the outside rim soon seps-
rates, ard the cancer comes out in q hard
lump, and the place heals up. The plaster
kills the cancer, so that it sloughs out like
dead flesh, and never grows in again. The
remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell, of Lon
dnE, and has been used by him TOR SIX or
eight years with unfsiling success. aud not a
Gaze has been known Of the reappearauce Of
the cancer when this remedy has been ap.
piled.

Jarrina on RniI.Cars,

One of the annoyances to which peo-
pie are subject on railroads is the click
ety-clack all the time making itself
heard above the rumble of the wheels
and the snorting of the engine, and any
or all the other noises combined, for it
is occasioned by the wheels passing over
the open spaces between the rails.
Sometimes, indeed, the unevenness oc-
casioned by one rail-end being above or
below its neighbor increases this racket;
but the open space itself is the main
cause. This might be remedied by a
closer contact, but that the expansion
of the iron rails an road, say 500
miles in length, in good hot summers
day, will amount to nearly quarter of
a mile beyond the extent to which the
same rails will contract on a swapping
day in winter. Without the joint there
would be pretty state of things.

Advantages of CRYING.

A French physician publishes a long
dissertation on the advantages Of grusniBg
and crying in general, and especially during
surgical operations. He contends that groan-
ing and crying are two grand operations by
which Nature. allsys anguish that those
patients who give way to their natural
feelings more speedily recover from accidents
and operations than those who suppose il un-
worthy man to betray such symptoms Of
eowardice as ei her to groan or cry. He
tells of man who reduced bis pulse from
one hundred and twenty-six to sixty, In the
course of a few hours, by giving vent to his
emotions. If people are at all unhappy
about anything, let them go into their rooms
and comfort themselves with loud boohOo,
and they will feel hundred per cent. better
afterwsrd. Ifit is systematically rspressed
the result may be st. Vitus's dance epileptic
f.s, or some other disease of the nervous
system. What is natural is pelIly always
useful; and nothing can be more natural
than the crying Of children when anything
occurs to give them either physical or mental
pain. Probably most. persons have exper-
fenced the effect Of tears in relieving great
sorrow. 1t is even curious how the feelings
are allayed by their free indulgence in
grolns and sigbs. Then let parents ard
friends show more indulgence tn noisy
bursts Of grfef-on the part OF children as we'll
as of older persons-and regard the eyes aud
the mouth as the safety valves through which
Nature discharges her surplus steam.

Getting on in the World.

The Almanacs Of the present day contain
little that is either instructive or interesting,
but an srtiele which we fad in the Hagsrs-
town Almanac is worthy of q place in TIE
local-or an , yother-depaItmen of any news=
paper. There are many different wars of
getting on in tie world; It does not always
mean making great deal Of money, or being
great men for the psop,e to look Up to with
wonder. Leaving of bad habit for good
one, is getting on in the world; to be careful
and saving instead Of thoughtless ard waste
ful, is getting on; to be active ard indrs-
trious, instead Of idle ard lazy, is getting
on; to Be kind and forbearing, instead Of
ill-natuEed aRd quarrelsJme, is getting oD; to
work as diligently in the masters abserce as
in his presence is getting on; in short, when
we see any one properly attentive to his du-
ties, rerseYsring though such di1icultiss to
gain such ,klo owledge as shall be Of uss to
himself and 20 others and offsiing a good
example 10 his relatives and acquaintances
We may be surs thai he is getting on in the
world. Money is very useful article in
this way but it IS possible to get on with
small means, for it is a mistake to suppose
that we must wait for good deal Of money
before We can do anything. Perseverance,
is often better than full purse. There are
more helps toward getting on than Is COM
monty supposed; many people lag behind
or miss the way altogether, Iecause they do
not see the abundant and simple means which
surround them on al sides, and 50 il happens
that there ara aids which csnnot be bought
with money. Thos, who wish to get on in
the world must i've stock Of patience. OF
hopeful confidence, a willingness 10 learn,
and disposition not easily cast down By
difficulties aud disappointmsnts."
