MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.

California is a long way in advance
of her eastern sisters States in one thing.
She has ESTABLISHED school in her
State prison for the instruction of priso-
ners.
When rogue is detected in Mass
achusetts, says the Boston Journal, he
seeks to retain an able lawyer; In New
York his first solicitude is to retain a

"A man in Benedict, Maine, sells n
large quantity of apples every year for
just so cents a bushel. He might get
four times as much, but declines to take
more because he thinks that is just
about what apples are worth. He
declines to soil more than four or five
bushels to any one man.
There Is an old proverb to the effect
that "the person who is good ut excuses
is good at nothing else" An excuse is
a reason given for some delinquency in
duty. 1t implies an obligation unful-
filed, and offers palliatlon for the
offence. Thus every excuse to be valid
must have power to release a man f=om
such obligation.
John Adams was remarkable as an
early riser, as great smoker, and as a
lover OF cider. It was common with
him 10 rise at three or four o'clock in
the morning, and read, smoke, and
drink cider for one or two hours before
| the rest of the family was stirring.
When he went out to dine, he was never
at ease unless he had with him his own
pewter plate to eat from. 1t was his in
variable custom to take the latter arti-
Gle with him wherever he went.

THE OLD SPIRIT.

Ina recent article in regard TO tho
West Virginia Senatorship the Rich
mond Dispatch speaks of one of the gen.
tlemen named in connection with the
Office as having been "traitor" during
the war. Not traitor to the United
States nor to the American Union, but
to the State of Virginia. This is rather
stale language for a reconstructed organ
that is sueing for admittance into tine
Union on terms of Universal Amnes
ty" to be urging against its foes during
the war. The traitor business so far as
Virginia is concerned, like that boot we
read OF, is supposed by this time to be
on the other leg. For a played out and
broken down set of characterless bank
rupts, who are without even a political
status before the world, to be talking
about traitors outside OF their
own defeated Confederates, Is rath-
er a far fetched Affectatiop. But
it is like Richmond Bourbon
to use such silly language. Our advice
to the editor is to go on eating his hum
bic pie in the shape of Negro Suffrage
and leave the traitor business to his
masters at Washington. They may
possibly make that pie still more hum
BILE yet for the benefit of such fellows
as him self.

We quoted some remarks yesterday
from the Weston Democrat in regard
to our late city election. We might
have enlarged our quOtatation so as to
take in the following addl,icnnl para
graph:
1--WE are one of those who believe the
success OF any party depends upon the
efficiency of its organization. Whoever
or whatever impalrs that organization,
Injuries the party to that extent. In the
Democratic party, from time immemO-
rial, "A perfect organization has existed.
A nomination by it has ever been con-
sidered rs a pledge which bound every
member of the party to support the CAN
didate."
This may be very ConGenial doctrine
to serve up tOI certain class of read
ere, but we venture that such readers
are not the most intelligent patrons of
our Weston contemporary. We presume
that he has some readers who feel
prompted TO tell him that however APP
plicahIe such a code as he lays down in
regard to yielding an unqustioning
and unreasoning supper; to party nomi-
nees simply because they are the nomi-
necs, may be to tho "good old times -
that are past, it is now in the nature OF
a played-out article of faith. More and
more the people are emancipating them
selves from partisan thraldom and
learning to do their own thinking
That much has resulted from the war.
The white race in this country has been
almost as much emancipated from men,
tai yassalage as the negroes from bodily
seTvituGe. Tre war dispelIed n vast
cloud of ignorance in tho South and
along this border, and in other locali-
ties where democracy was once power.
There is still much to be done, but
progress is all the time at work and
every day removes Us farther from the
despotism of party in all sections of the
country. And it is happy thing for
the country that this is so. 1t restraints
cliques and caucuses from gross impo-
sitions upon the people IL The way of
nominees. The fear of such bolt as
we had in this city the other day is a
very salutary fear in the minds of local
politicians. The more wide spread it is
the better for the public interests.

AT arecent festival OF the Alumni of

one of his sparkling and brilliant
speeches. He touched upon one point
OF general educational interest, about
which he can speak with some authority.
he says:
When L was in college, debating
societies were felt to be one Of the great
features of the public education which
we got at Yale. Now 1 am told that
the genius of the students has become
SO much more select, its brilliancy so

The evils of an UrsOvernabIe Tenn.
neF.

per.
The Pittsburgh papers OF yesterday
give an account of an atrocious muir
der committed in that city Saturday
evening. Some boys stopped in front
of barber shop kept by man named
Kaufman and annoyed him by look
ing in at his window and shouting.
Instead of Kidding himself Of their an
noyance by calling a policeman, he
gave way to an uncomfortable burst of
passion, and seizing a revolver fired
through the window and killed little
fellow, not yet eight years old, named
Miller.
Ofcourse the whole community was
horror stricken and incensed at such a
deed and had the facts been generally
understood before the police carried
the miserable man off to Jail, it is pos
siblo ne would have been lynched on
the spot.
We allude in this column TO this MUIR
der as affordIng an impressive illustra-
ton of the calamities that are liable TO
Overtake an individual who is i'll The
habit of giving way TO his temper.
There is no fraiIty of weak human ma
ture that more generally mars the peace
Orsocioty and the enioymentso of domes-
tic life than this thing of undisciplined
temper. Aud of all exhibitions it is
that which most thoroughly belittles a
man or woman and stamps them as
wanting in that capacity for self con-
troll which distinguishes civilized from
savage human nature. There is no les
son that parents ought more sedulous-
ly to impress upon their children than
the necessity OF REFRESHING every stormy
exhibition of temper. 1t may save them
bitter tears of unavailing regret in after
years, and under all circumstances o.
life it will contribute to their own hap
piness and that OF many othCrs.

they will both advance simultaneously
