in ISL. His tastes had attracted him
during college life to more than usually
close study OF mathematics. and on his
graduation and ordination he was appoint
cd Professor of Mathematics in her Alma
Mater. IN the following year his Miss,
ionary yea! induced him to add to his
labors in the professional chair the duties
of the pastoratc of Mcadvile station. In

a suitable endowment for the college. He
was then stationed at Erie, and after the
expiration Of bis pastoral term returned
to college, where lie Was an active member
of the faculty until 1876. when he was
appointed by the General Confera&ce editor
Of the Western Christian Advocate. Later
the same high authority promoted him to

Two Pictures.

Two Ilctufes.
The House of Representatives at Wash
ington has before it q bill embracing oyer
1000 items of taxation. That bill pre-
vides tax, ranging from so to 200 per
cent. upon every imported article that we
eat, drink, wear, or have occasion to use
in any form or shape. This bill is nom-
inally designed to provide Sl5O,001O0O of
revenue for public uses, but it is in fact
designed to so tax every article produced
in this country entering into general use,
that each shall yield the least possible
revenue to the government, and the largest
possible sum to private individuals and
corporations. The tax bill might be con-
fined to fifteen articles Of foreign growth
or production, and raise all the revenue
needed: but taxation to afford bounties,
not revenue, is the object of the Tariff
bill.
There is, at the same time, pending
before the Senate, bill to admit the State
OF Georgia to representation in Congress.
Georgia has complied with all the terms
and conditions required by all the actr Of
Congress, and there is no legal or respect.
able pretext for not admitting her to the
Union. But, some two years ago, there
were elevated to office in that State certain
demagogues, who have become odious to
the people of Georgia, as well us to every
right-thinking citizen of the country. The
point at issue in the bill admitting Geor-
gia, is whether Congress shall amend the
constitution Of the State so as to continue
this particular tribe Of barnacles in office,
against the will of the people, for an
additional term without being reelected.
What we wish to call public attention
to, is the fact that when this tax bill is
before the House, there is hardly ever a
quorum present and when the vote is
taken whether the tax upon each pair Of
shoes shall be 60 or 90 per cent, or the tax
on the workman's woollen shirt be 40 or
l2O per cent, the pages and messengers of
the House have to be sent into all parts of
the building and the neighboring victual-
ing establishments, to collect enough to
constitute bare quorum. In House of
249 mem mbers, l25 is quorum, and 63
votes are all that are needed to transfer
one hundred millions of revenue from the
Treasury to the lobby, and to add that
same amount of direct tax to other OBJ
jects. While this is the case upon the bill
taxing 10000 900 people upon their food,
clothing, capital and implements of labor,
the Senate is always iull, and the debates
eloquent; Senator Drake is thrilling, and
Senator Sumner imposing, and Senators
Thayer and Morton trottins behind as
fast as they can keep along, whenever the
Georgia question is taken up. The inter-
csts of the whole people, involving such
plan of taxation as no other country has
ever witnessed or tolerated, are canvassel
to empty benches; but tie interests of q
score ci' demoraltzed oDice holders IN Geor-
gia elicit the most intense enthusiasm, and
prorohe the .fercest loyalty. Meanwhile

work to make one, and successfully ac.
complished it. When the brig Nancy
was upon her return voyage she was
hemmed in with British vessels off Cape
May. Her officers succeeded in removing
all the mutinous to the shore, and when
the last boat put off, young man in it.
John Hancock, jumped into the sea,
smam to the vessel, ran up the shrouds of
the mast, and securing the flag, brought
it triumphantly to shore, through a hot
fire from the British men of war.
The first American flag, however, ac-
cording to the design and approval Of
Congress, was made by Mrs. Elizabeth
Ross. Three of her daughters still live
in our vicinity to confirm this fact-round-
ing their belief, not upon what they saw.
for it was made many years before they
were born, but upon what their mother
had often told them. A niece OF this
lady, Mrs. Margaret Bogss, aged 80 years,
now lives m Germantown, and is convers.
ant with the fact. The fact is not gener-
ally known that to Philadelphia not only
belongs the honor of fingins the t~s;

is related that when Congress had decided
upon the design, Col. Geo. Ross and Gen.
Washington visited Mrs. Ross, and asked
her to make it. She said, IL don't know
whether l can, but I'll try" and directly
suggested to the gentlemen that the de-
sign was wrong, in that the stars were
six cornered, and not five cornered as they
should be. This was corrected, she made
the flag, congress accepted it. and for
half dozen years this lady furnished the
government with all its national flags,
having, of course, large assistance. This
lady was also the wife of Claypole, ore of
the lineal descendants of Oliver Cromwell.

haye often been asked where the ad-
ministration is drifting, and whether con-
gress and the president are not becoming
estranged. To this question answer
frankly, that / do not know but fear that,
as i. party, the republicans are drifting to
division and defeat. TO the second ques-
ton am compelled to say that there is
but little cordiaity between congress and
the president. No observer could have
mingled with Washington society this
winter without becoming painfully aware
that the administration is fast drifting to-
ward breakers. which, if encountered, will
prove fatal to the unity Of the republican
party. l say this with regret. Gen.
Grants mistakes have been many but
his great mistake was in attempting to ad
minister the government as he had direct>
ed and governed the army. lie has been
surrounded from the first by weak, mex
perienced, and incompetent men. He did
not seek nor would he even listen to the
advice of leading statesmen. His cabinet,
as first organized, would never have been
selected by any statesman qualified for the
presidential office. lie has not, with per.
haps single exception, one man in his
cabinet to-day, who could, ut the time of
his nomination, have received the endorse
ment of the republican party of his state
for the position he holds; while some of
that number, Fish, Borie, and Rebeson,
for example, would hardly have command
ed the support of one hundred republicans
in their respective states. IL this state
ment be admitted, the weakness Of the ad
ministration is a recognized fact. Nopar-
ty can maintain its ascendancy which ig.
neres its representative men, and calls to
its highest and most honorable positions

Of its confidence, or who, if worthy OF

In all our new territories policy has

What the Democracy tried hard to do

the bond -holder-the widow, dependent
on the scanty pittance deled out to her by
the government in payment for the life of
her husband, and the monied lords CT

be disappointed, and has greatly misjudg-
ed the intelligence and temper Of the
American people. Don't exult too soon
over the injustice and oppression that you
have, by means of bribery, fraud, and

just policy as to defend such a. partial
financial policy in favor of the bondhold-

despise such a party as unworthy Of the
support of decent men. Those who sup
port such an unjust policy through
ignorance, are entitled to sympathy, but
those who, knowing the injustice Of such
a discriminating policy in favor of bond
holders, still sanction and defend it at the
behest Of party leaders, are deserving of
nothing short Of contempt and scorn from
all men of sense.-Fayette Co. Union.
