A General Benefit.

ILLUSTRATIVE of the love of some of
our citizens for titles, we have the follow
ing, which ended happily. A well known
business man here had bookkeeper who
had been taken on trial, and was receiving
800 per month. A "young man from
the country" called on the bookkeeper,
and in the hearing of his employer broke
out, Halloa how are ycu, General?" as
he shook him cordially by the hand. When
the stranger left, the employer, who Is
known for his eccentricity, wheeled round
and looked his clerk in the face. The lat
ter thought his hour had come General !
GENERAL GENERAL!" broke out the
employer. 80, young mani beg your
pardon, General-you have been promot-
ed? How much do you get in this estab
lishment?" The young man, trembling
in his boots, answered that he received
800 month, butif his employer thought
it too much, -. "That is enough" :"
broke in the elder gentleman; "please do
me the favor to consider your salary
raised $25 month. l can't afford to run
a General on 800 month; the digni-
ty of the cloth must be maintained" And
he now boasts that although mo account

Sad Accident.

THE Russian papers record distressing
accident which recently took place near
Dorpat. Wolves had appeared in unusual
numbers. A hunter determined to kill
some of them, hoping to frighten away
the band. A horse died during the day.
He purchased the body and placed it in
the edge of the woods, to draw the wolves.
The night was dark Armed with several
rifles, he took his stand under a covert at
nightfall. He had not been long at his
post when he saw something black NOV
ing actively on the horses carcass. Sure
it was wolf, he aimed and fired. In
stantly he heard a despairing shrek, evil
.dently from human being, which gave
him the greatest uneasiness. He went up
and found a poor woman mortally wound-
ed and in deaths agony. She told him
she was the mother of three children dy-
ing of hunger she had observed the car
cass during the day, but was ashamed to
be seen taking portion of it, so she wait
ed till nightfall to cut piece of it for her
starving children. She had kitchen knife
and lying by her was stew pan she had
brought to receive the meat.
Her story was investigated, and found
to be true in every particular. The inves-
tigation led, moreover, to the discovery of
the existence of great distress among the
peasants of the neighborhoOd. The
neighboring authorities at once took meas
ures for the support of the three orphans.
One of them was given to the hunter, the
involuntary cause of their mothers death.
He undertook to bring it up, and launch
it well in life. The village undertook the
care of another. The authorities ordered
the head of the village to take charge of
the third, "because he should have ascer-
tanned the distress of the victim and her
family, and have prevented her, by his
charity, from being driven to the cruel
extremity which caused her death"

excavation an oven was found, closed with
an iron door, on opening which batch of
eighty-one loaves, put in nearly eighteen
hundred years ago, and now somewhat
overdone, was disc overed; and even the
large iron shovel with which they had
been neatly laid in rows. The loaves were
but slightly overbaked by the lava heat,
having been protected by quantity of
ashes covering the door. There is no
bakers marks on the loa7es; they are cir
cular, about nine inches in diameter,
rather flat, and indented evidently with
the bakers elbow in the center, and are
slightly raised at the sides, and divided by
eight lines radiating from the center into
eight segments. They are now of a deep
brown color, and hard, but very light. In
the same shop were found 561 bronze and
53 silver coins. A mill, with great
quantity of corn in excellent preservation,
has also been discovered.

things in a modern court of justice -
where not unfrequently innocent witness

simplicity personified. The counsel, it
should be promised, had made great fuss
about the previous witnesses speaking so
low that he could not hear them.
"Now, sir" said the learned counsel,

making you speak up." (He him self spoke
rudely loud.)

fairly shook the building.

Punch during the Rebellion.

If any one wishes to obtain correct
idea of the state of public feeling in
Great Britain during our late civil war,
let him turn to the contemporaneous
pages of Punch. The speeches of prom
inent statesmen and the editorials of the
leading newspapers may to day be dis
claimed as the utterances of party preju-
dice or the effusions of an exasperated
and privileged class. But Punch is moth
ing if not the mirror held up to public
opinion-on all questions of foreign policy
especially. No one can turn the pages
over which presides the grinning hunch-
back of Fleet street without seeing there
in displayed the state Of popular feeling
respecting Poland, Italy, Denmark, Rus
sia, and, above all, the United States.
From the first cartoon of the series relat-
ing to the war in America, wherein Miss
Carolina" depicted as a raw.boned virago)
"asserts her right to wallop her Niger"
down to the last, wherein the Northern
gladiator, equipped as qetaGaSus, throws
his net over his adversary and cries
Habet" there is no real sympathy or
kindly feeling for either side expressed
therein. The Northerners are fratricides,
towards, liars, braggarts, naughty boys,
whom Mother Britannia intends to whip
some day-impertinent blusterers whom
John Bull will shortly feel called upon to
chastise soundly; while the Southerners
are negro-whippers and ruffians; and both
sides are madmen and fools fighting about
the universal niger. In one picture the
American gladiatOrs stand equipped for
combat before a negro emperor and grin
ming circle of negro spectators; in another,
entitled the American Juggernaut's Cal" !"
the Americans are depicted as flinging
themselves under the mighty wheels of a
monster cannon. Here John Bull calls to
the two bad boys, the North and the
South, I" don't care twcpence for your
noise, but if you throw stones at my win
dows must thrash yoW 6Oth;;" and there
Columbia gazes mournfully on map of

casionally, as the varying fortune of War
bids victory incline to one or the Other of
the combatants, gentle pat is given to
the more successful of the two, but vi
cious dig is pretty sure TO follow imme-
diately thereafter. Late in the summer of
1864, Lord PalmerstOn is represented as
looking smilingly on Jefferson Davis,
while Punch jogs his elbow and says sig
nifcantly, Don't you mean to recognize
him?" Yet before the spring of 1865 is
over Punch calls ON Britannia to weep
with Columbia over the corpse of Lincoln,
and becomes highly sympathetic when
sympathy is no longer either useful or

"RED LION, OHIo, Jan. 1869.

DEAR SlR During the last year we
have passed through the warmest con,
tested election, bott, State and National,
we have ever had in this country, and,
Notwithstanding the great frauds, the
Republicans were triumphant and that
memorable campaign has passed into
history. The country is again agitated
though not to the same extent. on the
subject OF finance, resumption of specie
payment and the liquidation of the Ma
tional debt II the Union party can be
as successful in the latter, as they were
in the former, we shall be fortunate.
Every Mould be great man in the coun
try is anxious to be the inventor Of some
great financial policy that will pay the
national debt, and restore specie pay
ments in the shortest time possible.
Each great man has plan of his own,
which he no doubt thinks would immor-
talize his name if adopted. 1 will no
tice only few of these men, and their
plans; among these are the Secretary of
the Treasury, and Horace Greeley. The
former would restore specie payment by
calling in and cancelling the greenbacks
Immediately. His plan, if carried out,
would not only destroy the currency,
but the country, too. The latter is
man o. great learning, extensive travel,
and possessing talents Of the highest or
der; he would 'resume. by resuming"
specie payment i'm N ediately, without re-
gard to the means. This, with all his
learning and experience, shows lack
of judgment. His plan of resumption
sand dollars to ten different persons
81, 200 each-and all the means he had
to pay them was $1,000. If, like Mr..
Greeley, he was resolved to '.resume"
at once, he could pay the first one that
called on him, his $1,000, and he would
have nothing left to pay the remaining
$4,000 and it would be worthless.
Just so it Mr.. Greeley's plan is adopted.
We might pay one or two hundred mil
lions, and the remaining five Or six hun
dred millions would be worthless, and
our credit destroy oyed-our national debt
repudiated and the nation disgrsced.
We may say of Mccullough and Gree
ley, in regard to their financial policy,
as the Hon. George McDuffie once said
of two gentlemen holding the highest
office in the government: ''one was
a great fool, aad the other lacked COM
