made more if he could have lectured and tend

but it has caused me great deal OF trouble
and annoyance. Aside from the clamor OF

compelled to employ secretary to open and
read my letters, for if I undertook to DO 1t my
self would have little time for anything else.
Every night I make bonfire of the letters ac-
cumuIated during the day, in vacant lot at the
rear of my house, and the illumination may be
seen for miles away. One writer, lowering on
the brink of the grave, could die happy if !
would send him money to defray his funeral
expenses. Though failing rapidly he says he
will try. to hold out until he hears from me. If
he does he will live forever. Another man
could get married if would send him twenty
dollars. That man will thank me some day
that didn't send it. One wants me to pay for
memorial window in q church in Alaska.
Another solicits contribution toward building
monument to deceased suffers. A man in
Pen-Yan is ready to name bull-headed canal
boat after me if I will furnish an outfit; and
correspondent wants aid in founding pious
soup-house among the walruses, admonishing
me that can take none of my great wealth

,INrEnrsT1Ne TO TEACHERS. Mr. Ullson,
the State Superintendent of Education, has
issued q circular to School Commissioner in
the several counties, in which he directs that
all original accounts OF claims of the teachers
for services rendered in teaching benefciaries
should show:
1st When the term of school commenced. z
I'd. When the same closed or ended. 5
Sd. The name of each beneficiary or poor
scholar.
Such accounts or claims should be sworn to
and subscribed by the teacher rendering the
services, and carefully examined by the School
Commissioner of the county in which the ser
vices were rendered, in order. to guard against
fraud and if such accounts or claims should
be found to be correct and Just, they should be
certified by the said School Commissioner.
The time within which claims for services
rendered during the year, commencing October
81, 1867 shall be presented for payment, has
been extended by an act of the Legislature to
May, 1870.

Some of the newspapers are telling Of. a
young New York journalist, now dead, "who,
''during the johnson convention in Philadel-
phia," having left his notebook at home, took
down speech on his shirt collar and cuffs by
the light of a Pickering gas lamp, and while
jostled by the surging crowd. It is little
strange that this should strike anybodyas feat
worth mentioning. 1t was Secretary Belknap,
we believe, who, at the battle of Atlanta, when
shot and shell were flying everywhere, at the
rate of nine hundred to the square inch, coolly
and quietly stepped upon the rebel fortifca,
tions, and seizing by the coat collar rebel
Major General, weighing about three hundred
and eighty pounds, lifted him over the breast
works, ten feet high, and flung him into a pile
of hay standing some fifty yards within the
Federal lines. That night the rebel General
having stabbed himself to the heart with a bar
of soap, jumped into spittoon and his remains
were never recovered General Belknap, how
ever, survived the other perils of the struggle,
and subsequently became Secretary of War.

HARD ON SECRETARY FIsH.-The New York
Sun pitches into Secretary Fish with persisten-
cy, zeal, and malice mixed up with it. 1t ex-
presses the hope that the rumor of recon-
struction of Grants cabinet is true, and then
pays its respects to the Secretary in the follow
ing wise:
HMr. Fish is an honest man. He is also a
gentleman. His natural disposition is patriotic.
He would not Intentionally dishonor his coun-
try. But he is not competent to direct the pol
icy of great government in difficult crisis.
1t would be as proper to choose Gen. Ben. But
Ter for Archbishop of Canterbury as to select
Hamilton Fish for Secretary of State. How
ever, Gen. Grant did it, and the result is what
we see The administration is weak, cowardly,
anti-American, trucking to Spain and bullying
Hayti, giving moral support to the Brazilian
crusade for the extension of slavery in South
America, and, with no positive foreign policy
anywhere except the jobbing, swindling treaty
for the annexation of San Domingo. Such lack
of brains, such sterility of ideas, such total abb
sence of manly spirit such Indifference to
American principles, was never seen before in
the government of the United States. And for
all this Mr.. Fish is justly held responsible"

- Non-paying subscribers are thus talked of
by a Western editor: "Wagons cannot run
without wheels, boats cannot run without steam,
bullfrogs cannot jump without legs, or a news
paper carried on everlastingly without money,
no more than dog can wag his tail when he
has none. Our subscribers are all good, but

the lady, "to see that you're neither negro, an

A CURIOUS WEDDING Although
the first recorded miracle in the New Testament
was the converting of water into wine at a
marriage ceremony, it is nevertheless not al
ways safe to imbibe, even at wedding, unless
you know something of the vintage. Mistakes
will happen, as was the case not long since with
the Rev. DIR. -, of Newburyport, who was
called down from his chamber to marry O. cou-
pie. The hour was late, and the minister's wife,
who had retired for the night, did not rise to
witness the ceremony, but gave her husband
particular directions for the entertainment of
the wedding guests. "Don't forget to pass the
cake and wine, Doctor" said she. "The cake is
in hecorner cupboard, and you'll find the wine
on the third right-hand shelf in the side
board.n
The Doctor promised obedience, and, putting
or his garments, went down to perform the GER
emony, When he returned to his chamber,
half an hour later, he found his wife sitting
up in bed, with an adxious expression on her
face.
'Doctor," she cried, "did you give them any
wineW
Certainly, my dear, just as you told me-
'Not from the decanter on the third shelf oil
! the side-board?'
'That is exactly where you directed me tc
find it." ~
'tDearl dear! Did they drink much of it ?'
"Why, yes, they emptied their glasses"
''What shall we do doctor, I made mis-
take-it was ipecac wine you gave them. Oh
how sick they must be / Do, dear, put on your
cloak and go right after them-they can't have
got far"
The minister found his bridal party at the
corner of the next street. 'What made you
drink the wine? ?'' he asked. "Couldn't you tell
by the taste that there was something wrong
about it?"
The bridegroom answered between his qualms
! "She whispered to me that it tasted dreadful
queer, but told her twas because zoe ssas get

Of giving up and freezing to death, with her ba-
by, unhitched' the horse, overturned the sleigh,
crept underneath, and slept comfortably in the
buffalo robes till help came, finds an antitheti-
cal anecdote concerning woman in Texas who
displayed equal executive ability in much
hotter emergency. This Texan woman lives
about mile from the little town Of Waco, and
long distance from neighbors. She discover

not sit down and shrek, as the "girl of the Pc
Rod" might have done. She at once summon

three ladies, and four little children. Bring

on the place; and here, Lewis, take your AK

through the roof, and while the others brought
blankets and water, this woman and her assis-
tant on the outside spread them over the flames,
the fire was put out and the house saved.

NORTHERN SOCIAL EoUAL1TY.--The Direct
ors of the Academy of Music in Philadelphia
have refused to permit that building to be used
by the negro Revels who desires to address the
people of the City of Brotherly Love. Eleven
of the twelve directors are open pronounced
Republicans, and the Radical papers of Phila-
delphia are very severe in their comments upon
this action of their Radical friends.
Public sentiment in Pennsylvania upon the
negro question seems to be undergoing ar0dicut
change. A few days since bill passed both
branches of the Radical Legislature granting q
divorce to Dhite woman ON the ground that
her husband was discovered to be mulatto after
her marriage. Three Radical Judges in Phila-
delphia have refused to issue naturalization pa
pers to Africans, and the entire Radical party
in the State, with the exception of q few sub
sidized presses, seems to be taking the back
track on the negro question.

The Working Immigrant.

The statement appears in a Charleston paper
that company of Northern manufacturers
Mes,rs. Harris & Co., from Massachusetts,
have bought the fine water power of High
Shoals, in Anderson county. The purchase
covers fifty acres of land around the Shoals,
and the price is $4,000. The purpose Of this
company is to put up extensive cotton and wool
factories and towsrds this end they are said to
have already given out contracts for preparing
building materials.
These facts are of a two-fold Importance.
They indicate confidence in our States pros
pective speedy resuscitation, and they announce

They come to make money-and that is what
we want them to do; They are immigrants;
and the. difference between them and the carpet
hagger is that they come to make money and to
make it honestly, while the carpet-bagger sneaks
in among our most ignorant population, and by
corrupt means and by falsehoods, deludes the
ignorant people into giving him an office. The
irnmigrant comes to become citizen, while the
carpeEbagger comes to plumber the citizen.
Messrs Harris & Co. order 8, 700, 600 of bricks
and 20 to work as If they mean business. We
trust they do mean nothing else: and we cordi-
ally invite all such-an immigrants-to come,

of their coming. We have pet-baggers to
spare; but we want immigrants Columbia
