A foolish journal says the Times

The Tines has no preferences, but
thinks that the majority of honest
men would prefer person not tried
or convicted for crime. before one

sentenced, and the sentence carried
into Chicago Times.
A meaner newspaper paragraph
than the above has not been born of
malice and falsehood since the day
the publication of newspapers began.
Carl Schurz "tried, convicted and
sentenced" for what? For the crime
of trying to make his countrymen
free-tried by court of his political
enemies when he was not present,
convicted ofnothing Of which he may
be proud, though, as the Atlantic

sentence was never carried into exc

tying the matrimonial knot at short

"Can you tie knot for me p

so; when do you want it donc?"
"Well, right away" was the reply;
"is it lawful, though, here on the

"Ob, yes; this is as good . placo as

How TO MAKE A CoLD-CHIsEL.-
Farmers and gardeners frequently
need a good cold-chisel tor light
work, such as cutting offrivcts, nails,
or pieces of hoop-iron. A piece Of
bar-stcel, and the forging it into prop
er shape, will cost from fifty cents to
one dollar. Those persons who want
the use of cold.chisel only once q
week or 30, do not always have the
money to spare for a tool that they
have but little use for. Therefore, to
get cheap chiscl, that will subserve
oil the purposes required, make use
ola large, fiat file that has been worn
out. Break off ono end, so that a
piece will be left about eight inches
long; heat IL in a charcoal fire to near
redness, and let it cool gradually
Then the steel will be soft. Now
grind one end square and true for
the head, end, and form the cutting
edge by grinding at the other end
Thrust the cutting end in a charcoal
fire, in the cook-stove, until one inch
in length is red-hot. Now cool half
an inch of the edge in cold water,
which will render the edge quite too
hard. Watch the color Of the steel
as the different shades appear near
and at the cutting edge, and as soon
as you see light straw-color on the
surface, plunge the chisel into cold
water. By this means you will get
a cold-chisel sufficiently hard on the
edge to cut iron, and SO soft and
tough in the part above the edge tina.
it will bond rather than break

Fashionable Imlnodesty.

Dick French, worn roae that be is,

Preach goes too far. Ny little Mel.
" is not in the market she has her
secret innocent dream of true-love
and marriage some day, hid away in
her heart. There is not one of
French's crew whom she would mar
ry. When she unolothes herself i'm
modestly and surrenders her person
to their touch, she has no Interior
purpose beyond the intoxicating
pleasure of the moment. Custom has
made her eyes familiar with indecen-
cy-worn away the defensive instinct
Of purity with which every woman
is born; but that is the worst that
can be said If her. Yet, if her own
blood be such ice, that the exposure
of her person has no power to bring
blush to her cheek, does it matter
nothing to her that pleased, unclean
eyes rest on her, that half of the men
who look on her mistake her mo-
tives, and pity the degradation she
undergoes in her effort to please
them
l use coarse language. The times
are coarse. The state of society which
can make Swinburne possible can
bear a few plain words without det-
riment to its modesty. 1t is true
that the evil is as yet confined to our
large cities. God forbid that the
fashionable fast girl of New York or
Chicago should be received as the
typical Woman of America. She
bears the same proportion to the
women Of the States that the fever
ish outbreak on the face does to the
whole healthy, sweet-blooded body.
But this society assumes to stand
foremost in refinement and culture,
and cannot object to have its claims
tested. Besides, the feverish faint
will spread.
Men, l think, have some claim to
be heard in this matter. The most
debased among Thorn will hold one
thing sacred-the honor of his wife.
He has a right to demand that it
come to him untainted. Dull and
plain fellow as is John he has right
to claim from the woman whom he
marries, and from the mother who
rears her, that she shall not have
been put in the market to parade her
shape like an animal, that she shall
not have had her person handled by
every roue who frequents the ball
room that he shall not receive her
hacknoyed and brazen from firta-
tions; and that her mind shall be

reports as the result of that council il was re-
solved that Rev. j. s. johnson of Poland,
against whom charges Of gross immoralities
were preferred, ought not to be continued in
the ministry, and the churches we,e warned
against reposing any trust in him. Mr.. Eaton
further says, Mr.. johnson agreed with the
council that he would immediately ask the Po-
land churcl, with which he had recently unit
ed, to erase his name from their records, with.
out giving him a letter of commentator; and
that he would leave our churches and denom-
ination entirely" Still later, Mr.: Eaton says:
Sat a meeting Of the Cumberland O. N. Mn
isters Conference, held at Poland, Augugt -,
1869, abundant evidence came to as that Jo-
than s. johnson is still pursuing his work OF
sowing division, aleniation and discord in the
First Poland church, and throughout Poland
and the neighboring towns" Resolves were

the news of the affair at Fort Sumter had
reached Galena, Rawlins and Grant met at a
meeting of citizens and the former half Jest
ingly proposed to the latter that they should
raise company of volunteers. "As you have
seen service, you shall be captain he said,
"and Rowley and 1 will toss up to see who
shall be first lieutenant" This programme
was not carried out, however, but when, some
months later, Colonel Grant became a briga-
dier-general, one of his first acts was to pro-
cure a commission captain and assistant
adiutant-general for Rawlins and on the 18th
of September, 1861, he reported for duty on
General Grants staff, and he never left it un-
til confirmed Secretary of War in place OF
