WHAT WAS THE WAR For Gen
eral George w. Morgan. of the Knox
County District, Ohio, in late speech
i'm the House, at Washington, on tho
Reconstruction of Georgia. the
opening paragraph says:
There are those, and they are NUM-
bered by thousands, who ut the time
of the outbreak Of the war which clos
ed five years ago believed that it was
the deliberate purpose of the so-called
Republican party to force this country
into a war for the express purpose OF
subyerting its free institutions. 7 was
one of those who were reluctant SO to
believe. was willing to contribute,
to the best of my humble ability, in
suppressing the armed opposition to
the Government. But, sir, with my
hand upon my heart, in the presence OF
the great God who rules all nations,
and now watches over ours, here de-
clare that l am now convinced that
the single object of these leaders of the
Republican party was the subversion
of our free institutions and the desire
of the war to that end. The charge
that make is bold one-a charge
that should not be lightly made-a
charge which when made on this
floor should be sustained by proof.
What are the proofs? They are be-
fore you.

A great discovery is said to have re-
Gently been made by a surgeon of the
British army in India, in the way of an
eflectual remedy for small pox. The mode
of treatment is as follows:
When the preceding fever is at its
height, and just before the eruption APP
pears, the chest is rubbed with croton oil
and tartaric ointment. This causes the
whole of the eruption to appear on that
part of the body to the relief of the rest.
1t also secures full and complete erup-
ton, and thus prevents the disease from
attacking the internal organs. This is
now the established mode of treatment in
the English army in China, and is regard
ed as perfect cure.

4 Little Boys Rebuke.


There was once very old man who
lived in the house with his son. The
old man was deaf, his eyes were dim,
and his legs weak and thin. When he
was at, the table he could hardly hold
his spoon, 50 much did his hands shake,
and at times he would spill his soup on
the table. All this vexed the sons
wife, and they made the old man sit in
the corner behind the stove. There lie
ate his food from the earthen-ware dish.
and he had not always too much to eat
as you may guess ltg gQNrFUl
Well, one day his strcmblng hands
could not hold the dish-it fell to the
floor and broke. At this, his son and
sons wife were SO vexed that they spoke
harshly to the poor old man. Then
they brought him bowl made of wood
out of which he had to eat his food
Not long after this his grandson, a. boy
about seven years of age, was seen al
work following out log Of wood. His
parents could not guess what he was
trying to do. The little boy said moth
ing to any one, but kept at his work on
the log, and looked very grave, as if h,
had some great work on hand. @
'What are you doing there? ?" asked
the father. Sc gR s.& aHa.r IS. at

Street Etiquette.

Street Etiquette.
An exchange gets off the following
on street etiquette, which will answer
for any locality: "a a2m 'so
Only villagers or persons with rural
ideas any longer contend that ladies
should always be given the inside Of
the pavement in passing. The rule
adopted in cities is to take the right,
whether it leads to the wall or the gut
ter, and an observance Of this coHmon
sense rule would obviata much unpleas-
ant "scrouging" by er-gallant gentle
men, who persistently crowd to the out
side of the walk. Another common
custom, and required by fashionable ct
iquettc, and one which is nearly as
inexplicable and absurd--is the prac-
tice Of whole string of men filing out
of a church pew, making themselves as
ridiculous as an ''awkard squad" prac-
ticing at catching STEP" in order to
give the woman the wrong end Of the
pew another is that gentleman when
on a promenade with lady, to keep
himself outside Of the corner. A little
exercise of judgment will convince any
person of the utter uselessness of this
hobbling back and forth at every cor
ner. The common rule is this If a
man and woman are walking, she should
always be at his right arm, whether it
be toward the inside OF outside of the
walk; then the woman will not be
showed against the passers.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-There was
large convention of women at Con-
cord, New Hampshire, last week, in
aid of the suffrage movement, but no
particular sensation was created in the
minds of the steady citizens, male or
female, of the granite State. The
New York Tribune report says:
Mrs. Howes pithiest philosophy has
been but family welcomed here, and
even Mrs. Livermore's quick vehe-
mcnce fell short Of it's mark. The
West opens its great boisterOus, boun-
cling heart to the Present Idea, and in
its headlong enthusiasm applauds ev-
erything with the widest impartiality
The East touches the novel thing with
dilletante feeling, then draws back
daintily like fastidious and half
frightened kitten. The Worcester
clergyman, Mr.. Stratton, certainly re-
allied this yesterday when he said
"the Western women will vote, assur-
eddy, before you old fogy New Eng
landers come up to the scratch"
The impression made by the con-
vention is summed up in the following
highly original Incubation of Con-
cord editor:
Midst our rousing hills of granite,
Midst the sieet and awful walking;
Stalks the cause of women suffrage;
Stalks with aspect like humbug-
Like great and cusscd humbug.
lIumbug huge as Virgil cyclops,
With one eye for agitation,
Haunting for crazcd mnt's chimera,
But for manly comfort.

Apology.
Our stock Of print paper last week was
not large enough to supply much more
than half of our usual number Of subscr;-
hers and therefore many of the large lists
of new subscribers, sent us last month by
agents throughout the County and many
others, failed to receive the TINES. An
invoice Of print shipped in time to have
reached us before it was needed, was dc.
layed somewhere en-route until too late
for that issue. In future we will try to
avoid rc>occurrance Of the kind and
will, in all cases, supply the deficiency by
giving all subscribers the full number for
which they contracted.

The re-assembling Of congress was mn,

beyond the simultaneous attempt made in
both houses to pass joint resolution for
the admission Of Virginia.
There was more than a quorum in the

times, as high as 10 members absent at a
roll-call.
In the latter body, after long struggle,
the resolution was defeated by parliament

In the senate, the matter was debated at
length, but without vote. Sumner and
Howard were leaders of the opposition to

Gov. Walker and a delegation were on

claims, and answering the objections raised
against them.
