THE COOP MoTHER.-By the quiet freside
of home, the true mother. in the midst of her
children, is sowing, as in vases of earth, the
seeds of plants that shall sometime give to
Heaven the fragrance Of their blossoms, and
whose fruit will be rosary of angelic deeds
the noblest offering that she can make through
the ever ascending and ever expanding souls Of
her children to her Maker. Every word that
she utters goes from heart to heart with pow
er of which she little dreams. Solemn is the
thought, but not more solemn to the Christian
mother than the thought that every word that
falls from her lips, every expression of her
countenance, even in the sheltered walk and
retirement, may leave an indelible impression
upon the young souls around her, and form, as
it were, the undyng strata of that education
which peoples Heaven with celestial beings,
and gives to the white brow of the angel, next
to the grace of God, its crown of glory.

EAST VERSUS WEsT.-The Chicago Tribune
does not like the idea of the East grabbing the
best of the big prizes under the Government,
and says:
The West has got into the habit of producing
first class men for civil as well as military EN-.
ployment The brains and enterprise of the
East are chiefly absorbed in money-getting,
stock -jobbing, and gambling in Wall Street.
During the war the East was never able to
push the Rebels out of sight Of the Potomac,
while the West conquered them in twelve
States. The intellect of the East was too much
engrossed in filling Government contracts, in.
creasing the tariff, and other gainful pursuits,
to develop high order of military talent or
craftsmanship.

A REPUBLICAN GERMAN VIEW.
The Pioneer, which is the organ of the Re-
publican Germans of Boston, says

The Pioneer, which is the organ of the Re-
publican Germans of Boston, says:
The number of Offices given to any class of
citizens is the measure of the respect and con-
sideration the class enjoys From this stand
point the comparison between what has been
done for the negroes and the Germans is per-
mitted. Only the Democrats can possibly op-
pose the practice of giving Offices to negroes
who are able to fill them; but if they receive
two or three times as many offices as the Ger
mans, it is plain that, in spite of their smaller
vote and their inferior education, when COM
pared with the Germans, the Americans have
more respect for the negroes than for their
own German partisan friends. The reason is
obvious. The negroes belong together and act
together. To insult the prominent men among
them would signify neglect and insult to the
whole race, they are reliable only as partisans,
if they are contented and respected as mass.
The former slaves are more independent of
their liberties than the German Radicals are
of their partisan friends. They cannot live
without feeling the chains by which they are
tied to political servitude. Yes, SO it Isl The
negroes, saved by the Republican party, are
more respected by that party than the Germans
who saved the party itself. The negroes, from
slaves, became freemen; the Germans, from
Radicals became slaves.
The Ntr World, of St Louis, is not entirely
satisfied with the position or arguments of It's
cotemporary. 1t requires only respect and
recognition of the Germans as q class, inasmuch
as they stand up for liberty and the rights OF
humanity. This respect, the Ne'c World in
ssts, the Germans enjoy in spite of the inia-
nous conduct of our would-be leaders in Pres
ident Grants ante-chamber" The same pa
per further remarks:
If they are not blind at Washington, they
must know that We can not be- sold out, and
that therefore, il Is of doubtful advantage to
remuncratc our leaders We do not complain
of il in the least, even if the Germans did not
receive their full share of Offices. On the con-
trary, We are proud OF ii; more SO any way
than Of the circumstance that few brothers
in-aw, ncphcws and hirclngs of certain Ger
man leaders. who pretend 10 hold the German
vote in their hands have succeeded in rccclv.
ing Government places.

RING VoTING.-A New York correspon-
dent tells how the Rings" of the Legislative
Assembly voted at the last session, as follows:
A red pocket-handkerchief denoted the man
ner in which the members were to vote. When
ever the Clerk had read the title of bill, &C..
in which there was ''bone," the leader, il he
considered his ring satisfied, would march to
the front of the Clerks desk and gracefully
blow his nose with his red linen. Every men,
Der of the ring would vote in favor of the meas
ure. If, on the contrary. the leader should
carelessly hold the handkerchief toward the
floor, that denoted that his followers should
vote against the measure Many a project
was carried or defeated by that red handker-
chief, and it was as much terror to the ap-
plicant for legislative favors as were some of
the Executive Committee of the Assembly Of
1869.

THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.-A Paris

THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.-A Paris
correspondent says:
There is no shock more positively disagreea-
bic than ones first view of Louis Napoleon on
foot, and near enough for accurate criticism.
He sits tall, and in a carriage or on horseback
appears at his best But on foot, his short,
thin legs and long body make up an awkward
figure, below the medium heighth and one
looks in vain at the rctreatng forehead, weak
chin, narrow, dropping shoulders, and broad
lips for any of the well-known and distinctive
marks of the Bonaparte family. One gazes
hopelessly into the dull glazed eyes, that have
an unpleasant resemblance to those of de-
ceased mackerel. at his red-bottle nose, and re-
treating chin to find evidence of intellect and
character.

Ugly STArIsrICs.-A travelling correspon-
dent who has made the tour of England and
Wales, says:
1t is n melancholy fact that in England and
Wales there are nearly 100000 paupers, in
addition to which large number are SO desti-
tute as to require private relief. There are
lI2, ,403 registered AS members of the danger
Gus or criminal classes. OF these ~, $50 are
known thieves. 25,6l9 are prostitutes, yagrants
number b sos, and 2S.}7S are suspected per-
sons. There are 1906 members of these
classes under l6 years of age. An analysis OF
the number of abandoned women, show in pro-
portion to the population in manufacturing
towns, from one in 657, to one in S73; London
one in 573 in agricultural towns, one in 296
in pleasure towns, that is resorts for rich and
idle, one in 2G3; in commercial ports, one in
2,02l; in towns engaged in the woolen manu-
facture it is greatest of alone in 90.

4 Nut FOR PHILLIPS AND SUMNER.-1n an
article in the April number of Lippincotts
Magazine, the writer sums up the advances
made during 1865, in whatever contributes to
the civilization of the world. Africa is about
the only land reported to be stationary. 1t
shows no marks of progress. We quote the
dscouragng record:
The west coast of Africa presents no new
discoveries. The suppression of the slave
trade seems 10 have had baneful influence on
that unfortunate land for the wars continue,
but the captivcs are now more generally eaten
than sold. European sailors and merchants
are often forced to witness horrible scenes of
wholesale cannbaism; and the enmity of the
natives against foreigners, including missiona-
ries, has only been increased by the loss of for
ner profits.

A GRAND RASCAL EXPOSED.

We copy the following from late st. Louis
Republican:
The actions of Major William Monks, Ex-
Governor Fletcher's peace preserver in How
ell and Shannon counties, and a leading men,
Der of the Legislature in 1858, have had an
other development. 1t will be recollected that
some six months since he was at the head of a
band of brigands under Governor Clayton of
Arkansas, in which capacity he was charged
with number of murders and rObberles. A
short time since one Jo Little, one of Monk
men, was executed in Arkansas for the MUIR
der of Capt. John Davis. Just before his ex-
ecuton, the Little Rock Liberal says, he made
the following confession:
Il came from Missouri with Upham and
Monks. We belonged to band of horse thieves
that had connections all over the country I
am still member of it. Upham is the captain,
and Monks was the treasurer. When we start
ed from Missouri they said we would come
down into Arkansas, and that under the pre-
tence of hunting out Ku-klux we could kill q
few men and get all the horses and money we
wanted. We have been engaged in this ever
since we came here. l have acted under Up
hams orders in every thing. When | killed
Davis | was acting under his private orders.
These orders were the best Sort for we were
never punished for anything done under them.
| was sure | would be protected in it, When
| was arrested | was offered my choice OF q
trial either civil or military. Upham told me,
and SO did others, that it would only be a form
anyway and that would be acquitted; SO
felt easy and chose the military, as | could not
believe they would go back on me this way
You see they have though. They told me all
along, since | have been in here, that it was
all blind and that would be released pretty
soon. They were afraid to tell me that | was
going to be hung, for fear that l would tell
what knew am murdered because know
too much. | see it all-tool, blind fool, that
am. Boys, all of you, these are my dying
words. They are true, SO help me God.
