SOCIAL GATHERING.-We are informed that
the Martha Washington Society are to have
pleasant time on Wednesday evening next,
March 4th, in the Reception Room of the City
Hall. They are to have fancy and useful arti-
Giles and refreshments for sale. The treasury
of this benevolent association is now empty ;
and this at a time when the calls upon them
are the most urgent. We doubt not that our
liberal citizens will give them. on this occa-
sion the material aid they SO much need.RF
Ladies and others who feel SO disposed are
invited to contribute either money, refresh
ments, or useful and fancy articles for the &C.
casion, and to leave them, prior to the day at
the residence of Mrs. Benz. Kingsbury, Jr, No.
80 Oak street, or of Mrs. Moses Dodge, No. 4
Elm street. Or ar 1W .0
We need not say word in behalf of the
claims of this time-honored society. The
thousands of poor they have relieved since
their organization-now some twenty-eight
years-speak for them with more emphasis
than any feeble words we could use. -

INTERESTING WORK OF ART. lone of the
most singular and beautiful monuments of the
genius, skill and the patient industry of man
which we have ever seen or heard OF, is now
on exhibition at the picture store Of Andrew
Geyer, in Free street. This is John Carriers
famous drawing of the ''Rat-catcher and his
Dogs" work which has excited the astonish-
ment and admiration of the whole world of
art It'll small drawing, done in Indian ink, !
and representing an. old man sitting ON bank,
surrounded by two or three rough hairy ter
riers, and having beside him a common box
trap from which two or three rats are trying
to escape. The figure and countenance of the
man, the attitude and expression Of the dogs,
the very rats themselves are depicted witt
spirit an accuracy and truth to life and a deli
eaey of touch which would be surprising under
any circumstances, but which are simply mar
vellous in view of the way in which they were
produced. This little gem OF art was executed
by poor man Who had lost the use Of all he's
limbs, and who handled the camePs-hair pen
Gil with which the drawing is made entirely
soith has mouth. This fact is indisputable, al
though itseems almost incredible. To add to
marvel, Carter had never before losing the use
of his limbs received any instruction in draw
ing. His skill and accuracy of touch were all
acquired subsequent to that time But two
or three drawings of his are known to exist
and these are valued at very large sums. One
of them is in the possession of Queen Victo-
ria.
This very beautiful and interesting work
will hn NJ pYhihitioD for n fnyv do OF
Geyer's, and none,should lose the opportunity
of seeing it. To defray the expense of bring
ing it here small admission fee is charged.

Five years ago, or at the end of De
cember, 1868, when the war was ra :
ging in discouraging manner, and
the prospects ofits triumphant close
were anything but brilliant, General
Sherman made memorable prophe-
cy about the part Gen Grant would
be called upon to take in the work
of reconstruction, and in the resto-
ration of the country to peace and
prosperity after the close of hostil-
tiles. To General Grant these words
were written by Gen. Sherman
Your reputation as G eneral is
now far-above any man living, and
partisans will man9uvre for your
influence; but, if you cas- escape
them, as you have hitherto DONE
you will be more powerful for good
than it is possible to measure. You
said that you were surprised at my
assertion on this point, but repeat
that, from what I have seen and
heard here, I am more and NOR con
vinced Of the truth of what I told
you. Do as you have heretofore
done preserved plain military char
acter, and let others mauoeuvre as
they will. you will beat them, not
only in fame, but in doing good in
the closing scenes of this war, when
somebody must heal aud mend up
the breaches made by war"

THE REAsoN.--The reason why Bar
rett's Hair Restorative has larger sale
and is more popular than any other, is
simply because it is the best.
The reasons it is the best are:
It is more easily applied.
Its effects are more permanent.
It contains no nitrate of silver or 9TH
er poisonous substances.
1t thoroughly cleanses the scalp of all
dirt, dandruffand other extraneous sub
stances. =.
1t does not gum the hair.
1t absolutely restores the hair to its
natural color, whether black or brown
1t causes the hair to grow thick, lux
uriant and glossy.
It is a superb hair dressing.
1t Is highly scented and does not stain
the scalp or linen.
tits not a Dye, but a Restorative.
These are the reasons why Barrett's
is the best Hair Preparation in the
world, as well as the reasons why every
one should use Barrett's in preference
to all others.-Cineinnati Sunday Globe.

Democracy illustrated.

The State of Delaware is Demo
cratic in all its appointments. Its
laws are Democratic, and the mode
of administering them is in accord
ance with a Seymour and Blair Dem
ocrats idea of justice The follow
ing dispatch fully explains itself:
New CASTLE, DELAWARE, Nov. 20
In the jail-yard to day, seven pei
sons convicted of petty offenses,
were tied to post and WHIPPED. One
was man of 70 years of age, who
recievod twenty lashes on the back.
He cried bitterly during the ordeal.
Two boys of about twelve years
each received twenty lashes. One
man was placed in the pillory until
totally helpless from cold and then
whipped with twenty lashes.

there would not be time between
now and the third of November to

will readily understand this. In re,

ed from Washington for permitting
Tacts which Jews within my lines
were engaged in. There were many
other persons within my lines equa-

the difference was that the Jews
could pass with impunity from one
army to the other, and gold, in vio-
fation to orders, was being SNUG
gled through the lines, at least so it
was reported. The order was is
sued and sent without thinking OF
the Jews as sect or race to them
selves, but simply as persons who
had successfully I say successfully
insteatd of persistently, because
there were plenty of Others within
my lines who envied their success
violated an order, which greatly in
nured to the help of the rebels.

I have no prejudice against sect OF
race, but want each individual to be
judged by his own merit. Order

Caught in Their Own Trap.

The Democratic Legislature last
winter passed an act to prevent the
secrecy of the ballot box being vio-
lated. They ordained that no de-
vice Or motto, or anything but the
mere heading should be put on any
election ticket. Notwithstanding
all this, the Democracy of Monroe
county, which county usually gives
about 1000 Democratic majority, at
the last October election placed up
on their ticket various extracts from
the sayings ofJackson and Douglas,
and the entire vote was cast in that
way. The Board of State Canvass
ers, at Columbus, discovering this
gross violation Of Democratic law
by a Democratic county, have re-
fused to count these illegal votes,
and have declared all the different
Republican candidates elected
These include an Auditor, Commits
sioner, Infirmary Director, Prosecu-
ting Attorney and Recorder. AS
nothing but Democratic horse has
ever ate out of that county manger,
the election Of these Republicans Is
considered as rather severe joke
on the Monroe Democracy.-Es.
