How one of the Members of the
Cabinet was Appointed.

The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Journal tells the
following story:
So far as the appointment of Mr..
Creswell to a cabinet position is con-
cerned, it now appears that General
Grant held no consultation what
ever with him on the subject previ-
Gus to sending in his name. Secre-
tary Creswell tells the fullowing
story in reference to it I had con-
versation with General Grant a few
days before the 4th Of March. I
called to see him at the army head
quarters, not on any particular
business, but purely as matter of
courtesy. General Grant was very
pleasant, but he showed me no
particularly marked attention. AS
1 was about to leave, he called me
aside and said: sMr. Creswell,
what are your enitials-J. N, is it
not so ?" NO." said I; "John
Andrew Jackson Creswell." Gen
eral Grant took a pencil from his
pocket anu WTOLo The udulo III luIl
on a scrap of paper [ was very
curious to know what the General
meant, but did not ask him. l
thought it very strange that he
should be so solicitous about my
name, and when 1 went home 1 told
my wife all about it. "Why," said
she, che is going to give you a
Cabinet appointment" I merely
laughed at her reply, which l re
garded as little pleasantly. But
she persisted that General Grant
meant simply that and nothing
more. March 5th came, and I was
standing in the office Of the Ebbitt
House, in this city. About one
O'Clock one of my friends struck me
on the shoulder and said: t"Cres-
well, you have been nominated to
be Postmaster General.'' This was
the first intimation I had of the
Presidents intentions, and T was
indeed very much surprised. T

JAMES HARPER, ex-Mayor of New
York and senior member of the
great publishing firm, as already
announced in our dispatches, died
on Saturday evening from injuries
received by being thrown from his
carriage. Dying at the age of
seventy -four, after singularly
prosperous life, his career is a re-
markable exemplifeation Of the
encouragement which our free insti-
tutions afford to the poorest to
strive for advancement The son
of a Long Island farmer, he was
early apprenticed to the printing
trade, and by his industry and skill
became noted as an excellent work
man before reaching his majority.
AS economical as industrious, he
saved a little money, and in con
nection with his brother John began
the printing and publishing business
in very small way. Two other
brothers were added to the compa-
ny, and before either of the four
had reached the age of twenty five
they were known as a well off and
rising firm. Were more of the
aspiring young men of our day to
work as hard and constantly as did
the Harpers they could hardly fail
Of success, even if their efforts were
not so richly rewarded as those OF
the Long Island lad.-Cin. Gazette.

THE BROOK.
BY ROBERT BUCHANAN.

oh. sweet and still around the hill
Thy silver waters, Brook, are creeping;
Beneath the hill as sweet and still
Thy weary friend lies sleeping. '-
A laurel leaf is in his hair, E.- III
His eyes are closed to human seeming,
And surely he has dreams most fair, ..r
If he indeed be dreaming.
o, Brook. he smiled, a happy child, ~.5sl5.
Upon thy banks, and loved thy crying,
And, as time flew, thy murmur grew ..
A trouble purifying;
Till last, thy laurel leaf he took,
Dream-e eyed and fearful, like woman,
And turned thy haunting cry, o Brook,
To speech divine and human.
o Brook in song full sweet and strong
He sang of thee he loved SO dearly;
Then softly creep around his sleep,
And murmur to him cheerily;
For though he knows nor fret nor fear,
Though life no more slips strangely through
him,
Yet he may sleep more sound to hear
His friend SO close unto him. r-.
And when at last the sleepers cast
Their swathes,,aside, and, wondering, ,waken
Let thy friend be full tenderly
In silver arms uptaken. ..-.-
Him be it then thy task to bear
Up to the Footstool, softly lowing
Smiles on his eyes, and in his hair
Thy leaf of laurel blowing!

politicians as the Stickney railroad
bill, which authorizes the lease of
home railways, by consent of the

State Senate on Thursday by a de-

There is perhaps, not member
of the church to be found who
would not feel gratified to have his
place of worship filed every Sunday
to its utmost capacity, except that
he would rather prefer his own pew
should hold only his own family.
Here is the rub; this is where the
shoe pinches. Each man wants
every pew crowded except his own.
He feels, somehow or other, that he
has right to it; his money pays
for it, and to have it occupied by
strangers is irritating.
Last summer, in the beautiful
leafy June, we had a desire to hear
Fifth avenue preacher, and as our
own church was always crowded to
replction we thought our seat would
be filled by some stranger, and we
would not be missed; knowing a
friend who had pew, we obtained
permission to occupy a seat in it.
We were greatly edited. At the
conclusion of the services, it was
stated that the regular pastor would
occupy the pulpit on the next
Sabbath day for the last time during
the Summer, but that the house
would be opened all the season, the
services of another having been Sc
cured; the pastor expressed the
hope that the members of another
church, which would he closed for
repairs, would be welcomed to
worship with them; also all stran-
gers who night chance to drop in.
Accordingly we were on hand
bright and early next Sabbath
morning with some ladies. There
were about a dozen persons in the
building, and not seeing any one
to show US a seat, nor liking to
stand an indefinite time, we thought
that under all the circumstances OF
the case, there was to be a free fight
and we might very properly take a
seat where it suited US.
Scarcely had we comfortably
seated ourselves, when we were
very courteously and yet hesita-
tingly asked by the sexton.

A Bruta! Whipping.

A school teacher, named Viii
liams, teaching near Plymouth, was
tried in the Probate Court of this
county, on last Saturday, for assault
and battery, in brutally whipping
one of his scholars, young lady
named Fanny Beelman, aged about
sixteen years. The facts, as brought
out before the Court, showed that
a most outrageous whipping was
administered to the girl, Williams
having taken hickory withs, W armed
them, and twisted them together in
solid stick. He then grasped
Miss Beelman by the hair and draw
ing. her head down over the desk,
struck her over the shoulders and
back until she was mass of bruises.
In endeavoring to ward off the blows
she threw up her hand, which was
struck severely also, laming it. The
entire case is one of the most brutal
it has been our duty to record, and
we hope Williams will receive his
reward

Tenure-Of-Office Question
Settled,

The Committee of Conference Of
the two Houses of Congress made
a Report on Wednesday, the 31st
ul., which was accepted in the Sen
ate by vote of AZ to s, and in tho
House by 106 to 81.
The bill, as proposed to be adopt
ed, repeals the 1st and I'd sections of
the original Tenure of Office act of
March I'd, 1867. The 1st section of
the Senate amendment is left un-
touched; the I'd section is amended
so as to read as follows: el
That during any recess of the SEN
ate the President is hereby empow-
cred, in his discretion to suspend
any civil officer appointed by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, except Judges of the United
States Courts, until the end of the
next session of the Senate, and to
designate some able person, subject
to be removed in his discretion by
the designation of another, to per-
form the duties of such suspended
officer in the meantime; and such
person SO designated shall take the
oaths and give the bonds required
by law to be taken and given by the
suspended officer, and shall during
the time he performs his duties, be
entitled to the salary and emolu
ments of such officer, no part of
which shall belong to the officer
suspended. And it shall be the du-
ty Of the President within thirty
days after the commencement of ev-
cry session of the Senate. except for
any Office which in his opinion
ought not to be filed, to nominate
persons to all vacancies in offices
which exist at the meeting of the
Senate, whether temporarily filled or
not, and so in the place Of all officers
suspended and if the Senate during
such session, shall refuse to advise
and consent to an appointment in
the place of any suspended officer,
then and not otherwise, the Presi-
dent shall nominate another person
as soon as practicable to said session
of the Senate for said office. -f

But that fat of late, stepped in the

the prophecy, then, has been fulfilled.
The social and political equality of

Virginians, for paltry pelf, should don
their own robes of disgrace-thst they
should help reverse the proud motto Of
the glorious Old Dominion, and lick the

this stigma upon her fair old name? If

grade ourselves by voting for it.
