The recent death of Mr.. Wclch,
one OF the University Printers at
Cambridge, has brought 20 light the
Following facts, which We quote from
the Boston Transcript:
..rhere was once a famous Uni
versity whose Christian name began
with an ii and ended with a, and
the wise men thereof, thinking 10
save few dollars in the job of print
ing small catalogue, went to and
fro, instead OF employing the Office
to which the little job rightiully be-
longed, and whispered very softly
under the rose, "Go 10, now, ye prin.
ters of Charle3bridgcr and say who
will do 1t the chcapest3' And ona
was found who was willing to under-
take the small pamphlet cheaper by
a few dollars than his ncighbor, the

precrlp,ive right to do the Universi-
ty work. Now the university

connection with the college, and one
Of the head men thereof, man Of
great loyalty to the university, hai
made his will and left the snug little
sum OF s25 900 TO the University
whose Christian name began with an
II and ended with d. Crhis tril-
fng circumstance was unknown to
the faculty OF the University Now
it came TO pass that when the eco
nomical gentlemen announced that
the small pamphlet had been trans
ferrcd into other hands than those OF
the University Press, the good and
faithful servant of the college, who
had for many years done his best in
behalf Of the interests of all concern
ed, felt aggrieved that he should be
thus shabbily treated, and being. y
man OF spirit as well as probity, he
rightly resolved that the pamphlet.
which, il the university had been too
poor TO pay for, he would gladly
have done for nothing should be the
costliest job Of work ever undertake
en- under similar circumstances. So,
being on the death bed, be said there

altered his will, and the $4,000 will

1t is pathetic--the manner in which
Horace Greeley constantly permits
the Republican party to use his name
for offices which he does not want,
and to which he cannot possibly be
elected. His whimseys sometimes
excite the risible muscles; but it must
be acknowledged that he is politically
unselfish. Never mind me; use my
name whenever it can benefit the
party;" this ls his uniform cntreaty.
Certainly no man living has done 50
much for the Republican party Is he.
and no man living conducts himselt
more modestly or asks less in return
for his services. Il he wsre lea erssy

ages TO evadc the direct issue. In
the printed opinion Of the Press the
effect OF Protective Tariff is to put
money into the hands of corpora
tions which does not really belong
to them, though given by direct sane
ton Of law. A tax, voted under tie
late law of the Stale of Iowa, does
effect the taking OF money from the
pockets of the people and giving il
TO corporations to whom the money
does not belong, though given legal
~
But, the Press says, "They may
"pay the railroad tax or not as they
"choose to vote" Does, then, the law
subject those only to pay the railroad
tax, who vote for.it? The Press can
|1Ardlf say that. If it cannot, then
its whole argument is folly. Ii ,ht
tariff tax is force, imperious, despot
''ic. tyrannical toree,' 20 ,s,hc railroad
tax to those who voted against it,
Can the Press elude the force OF Is
own logic? and are not the "fwo
principles IN nut SHE'LL" thf two
lobes of the same kernel?
II the people kill railroad mono
poles by using their money to con-
struct competing lines, where is the
objection to killing the manufacture 8
monopoly by constructing competing
factories? There surely is 10 oo-
lection. This, in fact, IS ehe direct
and the logical resul. g a Protectise
tariff, that the monopoly OF British,
or other foreign manufacturers is I'M
mediatcly kid and the home mo-
uopoly i :. en,ually strangled by the
same ccnpetition. The very prin-
c,ple underlying the law by which tho
people may by a temporary and
trivial outlay Of money kill railroad
monopolies, is the same principle on
which is based protective tariffs
which slay both foreign and home
monopolies Of Manufacturers. This
is so plain that We wonder the
Press is unable 10 see it.

Com municated
Music I'm the Household.

At first thought it might appear
superHuous to say that, whatever
tends to preserve the family unity is
worthy Of cultivation. The family
is largely the preseryer OF its own
unity and harmony. Accordingly,
there is savor of the family relation
about that beautiful Imagination Of
the ancicnts which represented the
fiower-crowned goddess of Music,
with her lutte and harp, as sister to
the goddess Of Harmony, with her
white veil and her crown of jewels:
1t is to be regretted that, when
we speak of music, every one is SO
apt to understand that refined and
cultivated music, which, on that ac-
count, alone, Is scarcely possible to a
large per cent of eur most industri-
Gus AMI useful people. Hence it is
that the simple everyday terms ana
songs, the humming and whistling,
so natural about the daily work and
so easy to every one, are scarcely
thought of. Even of such music IS

Besides,in our country homes, botf
parents and children are often over

which offer the choicest entertain

they can, with great difficulty, ex

A recent convention Of adherents
OF religious denomination declared,
upon the subject Of temperance, that
moral suasion is a failure. The
phrase moral suasion is somewhat
vague, but if it includes all the per-
suasise Influences, as distinguished
from those of law and force, the dec
laration OF the convention will be
regarded as severe on the general
membership OF the Christian church
es, the pulpit, the denominatlonal
press, the various secret temperance
organizations, and the numerous tem-
perance journals and publications.
These are all failures, if the state
ment above alluded to is correct.
The fact is, the persuasive infin-
cnces have not been put in active
operation during a period OF some
fifteen years. There has been, du.
ring this time, but little effort to
persuade men to be temperate; to-
tally abste,nious, if you please, in re
spect to alcoholic beverages. All ef-
| tort has been i'll the direction OF com
pulsory law. Such law has been en-.
acte d in various States. 1t has no,
been successful. Intemperance, SO
Tar from being on the decrease, is 4
| vice more general now than when
the Maine law was frstcd enacted =
| No candid man can deny tho state
ment. Nor, we think, can any on,
who thoroughly examinesthe subject
come to any other conclusion thar
that this increase OF lntempe rance
deplorable in its effects and otter
terrible, is due, to large extent, tc
the misdirection of effort involved
in that policy which gives to law 6
power that does not justly belong tc
it.
We should say upon this subject
that the policy Of legal prohibition
is failure; demonstrably SO by tif:
teen years of trial and an increase 'oi
intemperance as the result. What is
needed in a temperance revival. The
moral, Christian people OF the land
need to be aroused to the fearful ma
ture OF the existing evils, and tc
earnest endeavors to arrest their dis
astrous course This can only be
done by the recognized means Ly
and through which men are persuad
ed to do right, and induced TO en-
ter into labors tor the propagandlsn
of correct ideas. Years ago, tn. r,

The Western Men who saw the
Ocean

I saw a man at Newport coming
out upon the cliff by Easton's Beach
where the ocean all at once lifts up,
and looks face to face with the gazer,
over the rocks The ocean was pour
ing in long rolling waves between
Ochre Point and Easton's Point,
drumming under Forty Steps, and
breaking with power and whiteness
upon the sandy crescent of the beach.
The mans face was so pathetic and
his look so affected me that looked
myself at the sea again and fol. "ore
than ever the glory OF il. lie gazed
away little while, and then observ,
ing me near his feet, he recovered
himself
rs that the sea, sirsa she said-the
ocean,"

''It's not bay nor channel. but

tics"
Yes: there's nothing past that but

He looked at it again, in silence
for some time and then remarked:
1T looks just like the pictures OF
it. It's mighty fine. I never saw it
before"

and looked and looed, and there l

1t was my privilege, together with
a few others, to be present ut the
closing exercises of our public school
on Friday lest. The closing exer-
cises Were deeply interesting. and
were doubtles faithful index of the
rapid progress made by the pppil
under their late teacher. The wor, by

stated, that IL had been his endeavor
during his connection with the
school, to inculcate q principle of
self respect, In which think he has
been eminently successful. as may
be readily seen In the department Of
his pupils both in and out Of school.
A successful appeal to this principle,
/ doubt not, would speedily Danish
from our schools the brutal practise
Of horse. whipping and ferulling.

state IN private upon this occasion,
in confirmation OF Mr.. Cotton's
