The LETTER from Gen. Winfield s. Han
cock declining the use of his name as 0
candidate for the nomination for governor
of Pennsylvania was In the following terms
sST. PAUL, Mimi, May 2l. 1869.-DEAR
SIns-I had the pleasure to receive your
favor OF May last, just before leaving
Washington for tho West. My occupations
and other duties prevented me from
promptly replying to your communication
and such is to be regretted, for was as
we'll prepared to express to you my views
then as now, and by having promptly writ
ten, would have avoided tho appearance
of hesitation. My views on the subject
concerning which you address mo have
never changed, and have freely expressed
them to all persons who have in any form
communicated with mo to that end. am
averse to obtruding myself upon the public
and have therefore avoided writing anything
for publication, although have authorized
my correspondents to make proper use Of
nv sentiments. l write to you with the
same limitations as to the purpose to which
my letter may be applied, and for the same
reasons.
Il feel highly honored by the preference
shown me in old Northampton, as express
sod in your letter; but, Notwithstanding the
high honor to which you propose to confer
by casting your influence for me in the
nominating convention for Governor, now
close at hand, must state, and without
reservation, that under existing circumstan-
ces, cannot permit the use of my name in
that connection. Were in civil life no
distinction would be moro agreeable to me
than to bo Governor Of Pennsylvania. l
have, however; followed the profession o
arms since boyhood, and now that have
acquired considerable rank, do not wish to
abandon it, and enter upon q life for which
1 am much less prepared by experience or
education.
"In declining to permit the use of my
name, have considered that no injury
would result to the state, for there are num-
bers OF distinguished men, knowing its in
terests far better than myself, whom the
people would be pleased to honor, and who
could render more efficient services to the
people of Pennsylvania than myself.
II am truly your obedient servant,
"WINFIELD ScoTT HANCOCK.

DISCRIMINATION AMONG MASSACHUSETTS
RADICALS. Ls.-The Boston Transcript declares
that "politics in that state have become de-
cdedly mixed. We cannot recall a year,
since the republicans ruled the common
wealth, in which their organization
smacked so strongly of disorganizatiOn.
The first reason to be mentioned is the dis
gust felt by many republicans at some Of
the prominent aspirants for high positions
in Massachusetts, and tho intriguing of
others, occupying conspicuous places, to
reach offices ola still more honorable ma
ture. Two of these demagogues are now
playing into each others hands. Both are
endeavoring to use the labor movement for
their private ends, and the support that
they give to the republican party depends
entirely on the personal capital to bo made
thereby on their own behalf. One aspires
to the gubernatorial chair, supplanting the
present inCumbant and his fellow means
to supercede senator Wilson two years
hence, if that result can be accomplished
by bringing into full play his native modes
ty of character, or exhibiting that extreme
conscientiousness for which he was famous.
When such men have commanding intlu-
ence in the party is it only wonder that the
voters who think, are considering methods
to bury these leaders into an oblivion from
which they can never emerge ?"

GEN. RosECRANs. The following from
the La Crosse Wis, Republican may be of
interest to the radicals, as showing whatan
honest radical thinks Of their fulminations
of brave soldier
Some of the republican papers inand out
of Ohio, have, since the nomination ofGen
Rosecrans by the Democrats for governor
of Ohio, turned to assailing his military
record and loyalty. This mode ofconducting
the political canvass, if followed up, will
only advance Rosecrans' chances ofsuccess
over Gen. Hays more than those friendswho
have taken this course, probably imagine.
Rosecrans, although not as great soldier
as Sherman or Thomas, left behind him,
when he came out of the war, record that
places him among the best military men OF
the army; and as to his patriotism, no man,
be he democrat or republican, of sound
mind. ever doubted that he would serve his
country honestly and faithfully against all
enemies. The ends of justice can be better
served by speaking the truth even in po-
litical campaign.

and permanent arrangement in any one of

We fancy that the only remedy for this
state of things lies in an intelligent cOmpre-
hension of the fact that one cannot always
remain young, and that, with youth, there
depart many of those powers of resistance
which enable one in early life to eat, drink,
dissipate, or to offend nature, in almost
any way, with impunity. When one gets
to understand these facts, he will be well
advanced in the direction of the solution
of his difficulties. This solution is
largely in the fact that he should
decrease his offenses against nature in
proportion with the decrease of his ability
to do so with impunity If the craft can
not carry so much sail in middle life, let
some of the broad sheets that have been
spread to catch the spiced breezes ofyouth,
be reefed. Power should now be hus-
banded, in place of being lavishly expended.
Nature is less recuperative in middle age,
but she will kindly sustain moderate
average of strength. She will not mend
the broken links of digestion, as she did
before, but she will enable those that re-
main unbroken to perform moderate and
reasonable amount of duty.
Let the hypochondriac of middle life
understand that he has passed the easy
dOwn-grade of life, and that he is begin
ming to climb the upgrade of old age, on
which the machine will not run by its own
weight. Let him understand the fact that
he has reached period when he is begin
ming to break up" Let him adapt him
self to this state of things, and avoid as
deadly these searchings after specific all
ments. Let him understand that he must
eat, drink, labor, worry, moderately. In
fine, let him adapt himself to that new con-
ditiOn in his life in which he is weaker
every way than he was before.-Chicago

The PrOdigal Son in Chinese.

A YOUNG Chinaman, Choy Awah, a

and then gives the sense in dialect OF

parable of the Prodigal Son.

The Peculiar Ceremonies and SuDersti.
tiOnS of Chinese Burial.

RITES for the dead vary somewhat in
different parts of the country. In some
places, while the body is on the ground
and the souls are departing, a Tauist
priest is employed to chant portions OF
their ritual, accompanied with the beating
of gongs and drums, and the explosion OF
powder-crackers The noise of drums,
gongs, and crackers is for the purpose OF
frightening away evil spirits. The firing
of guns and crackers, however, is not
common amongst the Cantonese at their
funerals, we are told.
After death, articles of food are placed
near the body; abundant or meagre ac-
cording to the ability of the friends. These
are supposed to be for the supply of the
departed spirit Some of the provisions
are presented to the mouth OF the deceased
by the oldest son, or, if there is no son
present, then by some other near relative
or friend, who kneels beside the body
while feeding the spirit
Large sums are often expended in
dressing the body for its journey to the
world of spirits. The best suit Is put on,
or new garments are provided throughout,
and of costly materials where there is sui.
ficient means to meet the expense; and
where there are no means, cheaper mate
rials are used, and even garments OF paper
have been employed, which may be put
together in such way as to resemble
clothing very closely.
Much solicitude is expended on the sub
ject of the longevity boards" or coffin
the desire being to procure that which i:
most durable. In China the aged otter
provide coffins for themselves beforehand
or sons make presents of this article tt

A Fox's Revenge.

A NAN residing on tlIe< banks of the
Hudson one day went to a bay on the
river to shoot ducks OF geese. When he
came to the river he saw six geese beyond
shot. He determined to wait for them to
approach the shore. While sitting there
he saw a fox coming down to the shore,
and stand some time to observe the geese.
At length he turned and went into the
woods, and came out with very large
bunch of moss in his mouth He then en-
tered the water very silently, sank himself,
and then keeping the moss above the
water-himself concealed-he floated
among the geese Suddenly one of them
was drawn under the water, and the fox
soon appeared on the shore with the goose
on his back
He assembled the bank, and found q hole
made 10y the tearing up of tree. This
hole he cleared, placed in the goose, and
covered it with great care, strewing leaves
over 1T. The fox then left; and while he
was away the hunter unburied the goose
and closed the hole, and then he resolved
to await the ISSUE
In about half an hour the fox returned
with another fox in company They went
directly to the place where the goose had
been buried, and threw out the earth. The
goose could not be found They stood re.
garding each other for some time, when
suddenly, the second fox attacked the
other furiously, as if offended by the trick
of friend. During the battle he shot

IT is a pleasant thing to make soap
bubbles, if for no better reason than that
We can hdve fainbows about us at any
time. But there is an art about making
these short-lived toys as in everything
else. The best way to make them is to
take three-quarteTs of a pint of water
that has been boiled and become cold, and
put into it quarter of an ounce of Cas-
tile soap, cut up fine. Put this into a
pint bottle and set in hot water in a
saucepan, on the fife there let 1t remain
an hour of so; now and then. giving it a
good shaking; till tile soap is dissolved
Eet the fluid stand quiet for few hours
for the impurities and coloring matter OF
the soap to settle; then pour off the fluid
and add to it four ounces of glycerine, and
your soap-bubble solution is ready
In an ordinary way you may blow the
bubbles easily with a clean tobacco pipe,
but if you wish to obtain scientific per
fection, you had better employ glass pipe
or tube. BY adding larger quantity OF
glyceTine you iiidy fraRe these bubbles 80
strong that you can play with them by
knocking them about. You may, of
course, make soap bubbles in an easier
way, but they will not be so brilliant as
by the above process-Erchdnge.
