SwRAnMo, The most truthful and
straightforward article on this disgusting
habit that. we have ever read is tie fol.
lowing. whose authors name we are not
acquainted with: 1T is no mark of a
gentlemnn to swear. The most worthless
and vile, the refuse OF mankind, the
drunkard aud the prostitute, swear as
well AL the best dressed and educnted
gentleman. No particular endowmen nts
ARE requisite to give finish to the art of
cnrsing. The basest and meanest of
mankind swear with as much tnct and
skill as the most refined and he that
wishes to degrade himself to the very
lowest level OF pollution and shame,
should learn to be common swearer.
Any man has talents enough to learn to
curse God. aud impreoate perdition on
fellow-men. Profane swearing never did
aSJ man sny good. Nc s1iaa is tho
richer. or wiser, or happier for it. It
helps no mans education or manaers.
It is disgusting to the refined. abemina.
bic to the good, degrading to the mind,
Improbable, needless, aud ipjnrious to
society. Wantouly to profane His name,
to cal! His vengeance, is. perhaps of ali
offences the most awful in the sight of
God" ..l

Death of Hon. John Covode.

A brief telegraphic dispatch on Wednes-
day announced the sudden death, at Har'
risburg, Pa, of the Hon. John Covode, ol
heart disease. The deceased was emphati-
cally one of natures noblemen. No one
man (says the Washington Chrsnicle) did
more to arouse the people Of the North to
a knowledge of their long subserviency to
the slave oligarchy than John Covode.
Early in the contest growing out of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise meas
ures he took decided stand for the right,
and how bravely and successfully he
fought is familiar to ALL
He was foremost in opposing the Le-
compton swindle, aud as chairman of a
special committee of the House visited
Kansas, and exposed in lengthy report,
with corroborative testimony, the infamous
transactions of the Pierce and Buchanan
Administrations and their satellites in re-
lation to the free-State people of Kansas
This report was published in book form
by order of Congress, and is an important
link in the history of the causes which led
to the great struggle of 1s61-'5. In 1856
Mr.. Covode labored increasingly for the
success of the then Republican candidate
for the Presidency, John c. Fremont, and
especially devoted himself to arousiug the
people in Pennsylvania and New York.
As an evidence of his popularity as
speaker on the stump in those days, it may
be said, it not unfrequently occurred that
his audiences made him speak for hours
at time and in one place, Brooklyn,
N. Y, he spoke for more than four hours
to the largest political gathering ever seen
in that city before or since. Like the late
Thaddeus Stevens, be knew no half way
measures in anything he undertook to ac-
conplish. But rough and even uncouth
as he was, perhaps, at times, beneath that
surface beat as kind and generous nature
as ever was implanted in the bosom of
man. Few men will be more missed, be-
cause always true to himself and friends;
his enemies always knew were to find
him.
Mr.. Covode was born in Westmoreland
county, Pennsylvania, in 1908, received a
common school education, and was engaged
all his life in agriculture and manufactur-
ing pursuits. He was first elected to the
thirty-ffth Congress from the twenty first |
district, and, excepting the thirty-eighth |
and thirty-ninth Congresses, served con-
tinuously until the day of his death. AT |
toe late election he was candidate |
for the forty-second Congress, but his |
opponent was declared elected. The seat,
however, was, we believe, to be contested.

us. WAR TAX TITLES. United
States government holds lands at several
places in the South, which were abandoned
by the owners on the approach of our
forces in the war, or from which they were
driven, and which were subsequently sold
for taxes by the United States tax COM
missioners appointed to collect the direct
tax in the South, and were bought in by
the United States. To hold these lands is
shabby style of confscation, and is
odous for its Partially. There is no rea-
son why these owners should be made to
suffer any more than other rebel landhold-
ers in the South. In the vicinity of Port
Royal, South Carolina, this method trans
ferred to the United States large body of
lands, which were taken possession of by
negroes and Northern adventurers. A bill
has been introduced into Congress to sell
these lands. On the contrary, the owners
should be allowed to redeem them on
liberal terms. They are no more guilty
than the great body of Southern land
holders, and they have already been VIC
timized by dispossession of their lands for
seven Or eight years. Cincinnati CONNER

THE following circular has been issued
by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
concerning internal revenue officers absent.
ing themselves from their districts.
at having come to the knowledge OF
this office, that many officers of internal
revenue absent themselves from their dis
tricts, without having first obtained proper
leave of absence, notice is hereby given,
that in future such absence without leave
will not be permitted. All permits now
outstanding, granting authority to super
visors and other internal revenue officers
to visit Washington, or absent themselves
from their districts, when, in their opin-
ion, the exigencies of the service so re-
quire, are hereby revoked. All officers
who may hereafter receive permission to
visit Washington will be required to regis
ter in book which has been prepared at
this Office for their names by what au-
thority they are here, the extent of their
leave of absence, aud their address when
in this city.

The Prussians, according to the Paris
Steele, are extremely cunning. When they
reconnoiter at night pioneers go forth,
leading dogs, which, on hearing the least
noise, or on approaching the French
sentries, stop and make gruff noise. If
a spy arrives at a spot where he does not
feel secure, he posts himself behind tree
and lets loose his dog, AS soou as it adj
vances he fears nothing, but if it goes side
ways or stands still, he knows he must be
on the alert. The Prussian patrols, more
over, instead of showing themselves like
the French, get behind anything they can,
and in default Of this dig holes, which
they creep into. Added to these precau-
tions is an iron discipline which prescribos
the most absolute silence. The dog is not
the Prussians' only ally in this war; they
have trained hawks for the purpose of
catching carrier pigeons. "Should such
cunning" asks the Steele, ".frighten US
Not at all. 1t is time, however, that we
broke through the circle which coops
us in"

EDUCATION FOR PRETTY GIRLS. Pretty
girls, unless they have wise mothers, are
more educated by the opposite sex than
their own. Put them where you will,
there is always some man busying himself
In their instruction and the burden of
masculine teaching is generally about the
same, and might be stereotyped as follows: :
"You don't need to be or do anything.
Your business in life is to look pretty, and
amuse us. You don't need to study you
know all by nature that woman need to
know. The only sense you need is lovely
nonsense. You are, by virtue of being a
pretty woman, superior to anything we
can teach you and we wouldn't for the
world have you anything but what you
are"-Pink and Whae Tyranny.

THE supernumerary officers Of the army
have been formally mustered out, as the
law of last summer provided. Now let
us have inquiry and reform in the matter
of retired officers. There are numerous
officers of the regular army who have
been retired on their volunteer or brevet
rank, and who are drawing from $500 to
$4,000 more pay than they would earn if
they were doing service on the active list.
This is doubtless pleasant enough for the
retired officers, who for aught we know
earned rank and pay too; but the govern
ment cannot afford to be generous before
being just, and it is not precisely just to
pay better for performing nothing than
for doing something. This is an abuse
resulting from hasty legislation, and Con-
gress ought therefore to hasten to remedy
