SAM LAWSON ON INDTANs.-"Wal, ye see Tekawanfpait he was the fust christian In- dian minister of the Gospel there was in Oldtown. He was full blooded Indian, but he was as good christian as there was goin'; and he was settled here over the church in Oldtown afore Parson Peabody; and Parson Peabody he come afore Parson Lothrop: and very good minister Teka- wampait was too. Folks said that there could mt nothin' be made O Indians; that they was nothin but sort O bears and tig- CTS walkin' round on their hind legs. 8 seekin' whom they might devour; but Par son Eliot he did n't think so. Christ died for them as wal as for me- says he; 'and list giv lem the Gospel says he 'and the rest Il come along of itself. And 30 he come here to Oldtown, and sot up sort O log-hut right on the spot where the old Captain Brown house is now. Them two great elm-trees that's growth now each side O the front gate was two little switch es then that two Indians brought up over their shoulders, and planted there for friendship trees, as they called 'em; and now look what trees they be! He used to stand under that big oak there and preach to the Indians, long before there was any meetin' house to speak in here in Oldtown. Wal, now, I tell you, it took putty good courage in Parson Eliot to do that are. tell you, in them days it took putty con- sid'able faith to see anything in an Indian
 but jst wild beast. Folks can't tell by sein' on 'em now days what they was in the old times, when all the settlements was new, and the Indians was stark, starin' wild, rarin' and tarln' round in the woods, and fghtin' each other, and a fightin' the white folks. ."-AAantic MontbEyJoT October.

A LITTLE STORY OF THE PREsDRNT.- The San Francisco Bulletin tells @ pretty good thing about President Grant: ss A tolerably well-known lawyer of San Fran cisco visited Washington recently, in the course of trip through the eastern states He put up at Willard's, and having seen pretty nearly all the lions there are about the capital, concluded that it would not do to go home without calling on the Presi- dent. He looked up congressional friend whom he knew to be acquainted with Gen. Grant, and at once suggested that he should take him to the White House and intro- duce him.
 CT want to see the General said he, for you see. knew him out in California Of course he won't recollect me; but then, thought might just as we'll see him, now that am here.
 '' They called at the White House that evening, and found General Grant disen- gagged and pleased to receive them. Our friend from San Francisco was introduced, and very cordially greeted indeed. Any body from California was always welcome to the House, the General said.
 'After indulging in the usual common places. the visitor yentured to remark:
 krew, you, General, in California; but that IS sometime ago, and of course, you don't recollect me.
 Well, indeed, I do not. I am some- what forgetful of faces, and cannot think now when it was say you.'
 did not expect you would, General, but I recollect you very well. I saw you at Knights Ferry in the winter of-' '" An! indeed
 '' An amused smile fitted over the Preai- dents countenance, as he said:
 ''' By the way, how is travel on that road now? Is it as good as it used to be when was there?
 '" We'll, I don't knows there is much change about it. guess it's pretty much the same as it used to be-" s
 ." Well, now do you know that I think. that as soon as get through here, I'll go back to California and keep that ferry again.
 '" Indeedr
 's' Yes, I really believe will; for if tra- vel is anyway near as good as it was then, I'll do better there than would anywhere else. Since I've been here, I have never met Californian that hadn't seen me at Knights Ferry.

D3The Nillson Concerts are evidently giving New York some of the finest music of many years. The greatest violinist and the greatest soprano of the world in the same entertainment, ought to satisfy the most exacting taste. Nothing can equal the absurdity of some of the musical crit ics. The Times man goes in as follows: .
 "With the ease of an ordinary organ in Q drawing-room, she fills the vast area of Steinway Hall with wealth of melody hardly credible. The superlative certianty and finish of her dinsinueado, 1.-the artistic chastity that omits in HANDEL's song all ornaments save the charming shake on the word "virgin," and it's repetition in the concluding phrase, the sweet and pious abandon of her whole treatment of the mo- ble theme, thoroughly warrent Mile. Nns- SONS claim to the rank of great artist"
 An organ, in critical English, now means voice. The ''certianty" of dinsinuendo strikes musician, not also a critic, as rather absurd. A shake on a word of two syllables would be little portentous, also. ''Pious abandon" seems queer combination but it certainly does very aptly describe 9 species of religious fervor common in salaried choirs.

D% We are in receipt of certain letters from Terryville. which. for want of space. we are compelled to condense. It appears that MT. Beach distinguished himself on the Fourth of July last, by getting up 8 picnic in opposition to one already start ed by the Fenians. Our correspondent hints that certain Irishmen will show that their democracy is not altogether of de- pendent kind, on Monday next Of the feeling of Plymouth naturalized citizens regarding the European war, he says:
 "The Irish here go heels over head for the French Republic, and I am credibly in- formed that not few have gone off to join La grand a,'nsee de Ia Repu6Hque de France The sympathy of the Irish is not, and nev- CT was, with the Imperial Government of France. The cause of their hatred against the French Empire is two fold; first, they, such as are Fenians, at least, profess Re- publican ideas and cultivate Republican principles; secondly, they saw with in- dignation the aid the Government of the French Empire gave to the English detec- tiYes in ferreting out Fenian Headquarters at Paris, in 1865 and 1866, Sc. Further. more. they see, or imagine that they can see, that in the success of the French Re- public lies their hope of
 ..t 'England's difficulty
 'Ireland's opportunity.
 Our correspondent gives the following local news:
 "There has been so little rain that the farmers are butchering their young cattle for want of feed.
 Edmund Freeman died of consump- tion, last week, supposed to be hurried on by working at the grinding stone. He was an old grinder in the Eagle Lock Fac tory of Terryville.
 "The Eagle Lock Company are doing a thriving business this year. It ought to be sustained. because it is thoroughly American. 1t might have more patroni- gers if American citizens would only look to their own interests and home manufac- lures. Here lies the great secret of na- tional success. I am sorry to see foreign goods and manufactures driving our home products from the market.

FROM THIS WORLD TO THE OTHER. We
start in life an unbroken company; brothers
and sisters, friends and lovers, neighbors
and comrades are with US; there is circle
within circle, and each one of us is at the
charmed center where the hearts affections
are aglow, and whence they radate outward
upon society. Youth is exuberant with JOY
and hope, the earth looks fair, for it sparkles
with Maydews yet, and no shadow hath
fallen upon it. We are all here, and we
could live here forever. The home-centrc
is on the hithe side Of the river, and why
should we strain our eyes to look beyond ?
But this state of things does not continue
long. Our circle grows less and less. 1t is
broken and broken, and then closed up again
but every break and close makes it narrower
and smaller. Perhaps before the sun is at
his meridian the majority are on the other
side the circle there is as large as the one
here, and we are drawn contrariwise and
vibrate between the two. A little longer,
and we have almost crossed over; the bal
ance settles down on the spiritual side, and
the home-centre is removed to the upper
sphere. At length you see nothing but an
aged pilgrim standing alone on the rivers
brink and looking earnestly toward the coun-
try on the other side. In the morning, that
large and goodly company rejoicing together
with music and wine; in the evening, dwind-
led down to that solitary old man, the last of
his family, and the last of his generation,
waiting to 60 home, and filled with pensive
memories of the long ago!

trying to unravel the mystery which still en-
shrouds that dreadful crime. He fairly broke
down, however, at last, and was compelled
to leave the city. He was absent for three
weeks at Saratoga
Returning at the end Of that time some
what improved in health, he again applied
himself with incautious energy to the duties
of his office, and soon suffered relapse. A
week ago to-day, with great difficulty, he
crept to his post at headquarters, and strug-
gled vainly to discharge some of the duties
of his position. Captain kelso, coming into
the office saw him leaning his head on his
desk, his hands pressed to his forehead, moan
ing with pain. At once divining Jourdan's
condition, Captain kelso procured a carriage,
and carrying the Superintendent down the
stone steps of the Central Office, placed him
in it and removed him to his residence. From
his bed of sickness he was destined never
again to arise. He failed rapidly. AT first
he was attended only by DR.. Chalmers, his
physician for twenty years, but on Sunday
his condition was SO alarming that DR.. Met
calf was called in for consultation. The
aspect of the case grew hourly graver, and
the physicians could not hazard an opinion
as to the future until eight O'clock yesterday
morning.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

There is more truth than poetry in the
following paragraph, which comes from
Memphis exchange. 1t may be suggestive
to some of our readers; il is terribly sugges-
tive to many newspaper publishers. The
Avalanche says:
'By some unaccountable misapprehension
of facts there is a large class of people in the
world who think that. it costs little or nothing
to run a newspaper. and if they buy copy
from the tnewsboy, swhen too far from the
office to come and beg one, they are regular
patrons and entitled to unlimited favors Men
call every day at the newspaper offices to
get copy Of the daily paper, Just from press,
for nothing, who would never dream of beg
ging,a pocket handkerchief from dry goods
store, an apple from fruit stand, piece of
plea of old acquaintance, having bought
something once before. One paper is not
much, but hundred a day amounts to some
thing in the course of time. But this is a
small drain compared with the free adyer-
Using a newspaper is expected to do. Some
men who have paid two dollars at an early
period of life for an advertisement worth
four or five, appear to think they are stock
holders in the establishment for eternity
They demand disqualification of all marriage
and funeral notices, obituaries and family
episodes, tor the next forty years gratis,
speak of pay and they grow indignant.
Don't | patronlze your paper% Yes but
you receive the worth of your money for
what you paid But says the patron, it
will not cost you anything to put this in, ,
which is Just as ridiculous rs to ask a man to
grind your axe on his grind-stone, and graz
ciousiy tell him that it won't cost him cent.
1t takes money to run newspaper as well as
any other business, and no paper will sue
coed financially that carries a dead-hcad
system. Any mention Of peoples affairs
that they are anxious to see in print is worth
paying for, and when printed is generally as
any other investment of the same amount.
The newspaper business is very exacting
on all connected with it, and the pay is COM
paratively small the proprietors risk more
money for small profits, and the editors and
reporters and printers work harder and
cheaper than the same number of men in any
other profession requiring the given amount
of intelligence and training and drudgery.
The life has its charms and its pleasant as
sociations, scarcely known by the outside
world; but it has its earnest work and ankle
ties and hours Of exhaustion, which, likewise,
and are not known to those who think the
business all fun The idea that newspaper
dom is charmed circle where the favored
members live life Of ease and free from
care, and go to the circus at night on ~ FREQ
ticket, and to the Springs, on free pass III the
summer, is an idea which we desire to eX-
plode practically and theoretically. Business
is business, and the Journal that succeeds is
the one that is run on q square business foot
ing, the same as banking or building bridges
keeping a hotel or running livery stable"
