E take pleasure to say to our patrons and
w readers of the Holmes County papers
that on account of our extensive trade, we have
not had any time to sit behind the desk to pre-
pare an advertisement; to fill a column with
statements of Humbug, that we are selling
goods cheaper than any other house west of
New York, or something of that kind, but we
are not afraid to state that we are
Selling HARDWARE cheap as
any other HARDWARE STORE
IN THE STATE. =.
There are no reasons why we should not do so.
The many years experience has taught us how
to buy Hardware what kind of Hardware, and
how to sell Hardware.
The extensive trade we have been doing since
we started in Millersburg, has convinced our
customers that we do sell Hardware as cheap
as any other house. Those who are not con-
vinced that this is fact, ,,iu find 1T out if they
gire as call. See our goods. ask our prices,

THE SIGNAL FLAG.

Major Whittle relates this incident,
upon which a beautiful song is founded /:
During October, 1861, Just before
General Sherman began his famous
march to the sea, while his army lay
encamped near Atlanta, the army of
Hood passed the right flank of Sher-
mans army, gaining his rear, common
ced the destruction of the railroad lead
ing north, burning blockhouses and cap
turing the small garrisons along the
line. 6herman's army rapidly followed
Hood, to save the supplies and post at
Altoona pass, defile in the Altoona
mountains.
General Corse was stationed there
with brigade of troops, in all about
1,500 men. A million and half of ra-
tons were stored there, and ii was high
ly important that the pass should be
held.
5000 men were detailed by Hood to
take the position. The works were
completely surrounded, and summoned
to surrender. Corse refused, and a
sharp fight commenced. The defenders
were slowly driven into a small fort
upon the crest of the hill. Many had
fallen, and the fight was becoming
hopeless. At this movement one officer
sighted far across the valley, upon the
top of high mountain fifteen miles dis
tant, the fluttering of a white signal
flag. The signal was answered, and the
message was waved across from mount
ain to mountain.-"Hold the fOrt-I am
coming-W. T. Sherman" The news
was at once given to the soldiers, cheers
went up, every man rallied, each nerv-
ed with the strength of three men, and
under a murderous fire, with half the
men in the fort killed or wounded
-Corse himself shot three times
through the head, and Colonel Tourste-
latte, the second in command, bad
ly wounded-they held the fort for
three long hours, until Sherman's adj
vance guard came up and the enemy re-
treated.
No incident of the war better illus
trates the inspiration impaired by the
knowledge of a commanders presence,
and his cognizance of our position, and
his readiness to succor the weakness in
which we struggle.

A SCHOOLBOY'S LETTER-HOPEFUL'
LETTER TO HIS MOTHER.

Ayoungster attending school in Pad
ucah has written his mother the follow
ing characteristic letter:
DEAR MOTHER: got another licking
yesterday, but 1 had on three pair O.
pants, and it didn't hurt much. I was
licked because put six pins in Mrs
chair. knew they would not stick him,
and made bet that they would not.
Mr. was so mean and hard that the
pins could not go in. I won the bet,
which was a dog. He is q good dog,
and I'm training him to bite old "Hard-
Sides" as we call him, some night when
he comes home after dark. He is often
out after dark, and, if lack is as good af-
ter him as he ia after cats, / wont get
licked any more. lack and 1 killed
three cats Sunday, though was at Sun
day-school and church all day, and it
wasn't good day for cats either. This
makes the third licking got this week.
One was because l had bottle of milk
in my room, and the other was because
/ wrote a composition on negroes that
old Hardsides didn't like / said that
q negro was dark subject to write on.
1t wes like dark African going down
a dark cellar on dark night without q
light to look for q black cat that was
not there Old Hardsides stopped me
and then licked for that. Send me some
more of them pies. made good trade
with some of them. If You will send
me five dollars viii stop all my bad
habits except cursing and swearing and
chewing and drinking and one or two
others. You had better make the trade.
Give nay love to Julia and tell her to
send me that little fiddle 1 left in the
old trunk.
Your affectionate son, BILLIE.

1T MUST BE TRUE.

A very old man came to King Agis of
Sparta to lament over the degeneracy of
the times. The king replied, "What
you say must be true, for / remember
that, when was boy, heard my faith
er say that when he was boy he heard
my grandfather say the same thing"
1t il a sufficient answer to most of the
croakers, that doubtless the same things
have been said in every generation since
the beginning of recorded time. Till
within twenty years, for instance, it has
been the accepted theory that civilized
society lost in vigor what it gained in
refinement. This is now generally adj
mitted to be delusion growing out of
the fact that civilization keeps alive
many who would have died under bar
barism. These feebler persons enter in
to the average and keep down the ap-
parent health OF the community but it
is the triumph of civilization that they
exist at all. am inclined to think that
when we come to compare the nine
teenth century with the seventeenth,
as regards the health of women and the
size of families, we shall find mu6A the
same result.-T ". II.

Olive Logan was Kissed in western
city the other evening while delivering
her Charles Dickens lecture. An ex-
change says: "She had just acclaimed
one of the great authors most admired
passages, when the treble pipes of an
infant were heard somewhere in the
crowded hall: Take that person away
exclaimed the impatient Olive, who
filed with the subject, supposed the
memory of the great Dickens oVerbore
all other matters. But her hearers
thought differently. They Missed, and
refused to make room for the offending
mother to leave her seat. Our rude
Anglo Saxon nature is not so far es-
tranged after all. The Italian, whose
devotion to divine art in all its forms
amounts to positive worship, in the
qualification of his senses is ready to
trample upon any human tie that should
disturb the Paradise of his enjoyment;
but our race is made of sterner stuff.
Singing is refined enjoyment; and an
eloquent feature is duly appreciated
upon our feelings against the sacred re-
gard in which the nursing mother is
held, they find they have but gossamer
threads to support them. The impas-
sive auditor at funeral where all were
dissolved in tears, excused himself by
saying he did not belong to that parish.
We can enjoy music and eloquence, but
we cannot consent to have our artists
trample upon the most sacred tie that
binds us to our race.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL APPROPRIA-
TION.

The failure of the bill for an appro-
priation for the enlargement of the
Normal School building at Emporia
has given disappointed aspirants for
legislative honors an excellent oppor-
tunity to criticise the course of our rep
resentatives in the Legislature this win
ter. And the facile manner in which
Misrepresentation (Which in this case
is but a mild term for falsehoods) are
made to costitute the principle part of
these criticisms, is not little remarka-
BILE considering the high character of
the critics. 1t is alleged that while our
own members had failed to secure ap-
preparations, others had succeeded;
while the real facts are that no appro-
priations were allowed for any educa-
tional institution, except for current
expenses. The committee recommend
ed $4,000 for the State University and
5000 for the Normal. The legisla-
ture thought it best to trample upon
both. The spirit of that body seemed
to be to grant justas few appropriations
as possible, and therefore no education
al institution received any pecuniary
assistance further than what was abso-
lutely necessary to meet current ex-
penses, and the estimates of the COM
mittee in this regard were materially
curtailed in every instance. When,
therefore, it is intimated that our men,
bers failed to secure the passage of
measures which would have greatly
benefited our town and portion of the
State while at the same tins the pas
sage of like measures for the benefit of
other localities was secured, it is plain
ly to be seen that the facts are willfully
misrepresented. In fact this is only
one of the many ways of blowing ones
own horn. 1t is saying, in substance:
'"This thing Ought not to have been;
and if the dear, but deluded people had
only sent nae up there itWOuld not have
been. L would have got that bill
through who am so familiar with
all those under currents that lie beneath
the mere surface of politics, and whose
depths so short a man as Stotler and 40
good man as Overstreet are not suppos-
ed to be able to explore. I would have
got even larger sum for the Normal
school than S25, 5000, and the Principal
should have had his salary raised to
81, 500, and the salaries of the other
teachers appropriately increased"

THE WORKING HABITS OF LITER
AIRY MEN.

The Rev. L. De Witt Talmage, of
Brooklyn, contributes to the Ipdepea-
dent an account of a visit to Thomas
Carlyle, and, after describing the Pc
culiarly rusty aspect of that distinguish |

sketchy style to speak of literary mems

ORIGIN OF LONGFELLOW'S EVANGE-
LINE.

Hawthorne dined one day with Long
fellow and brought with him a friend
from Salem. After dinner the friend
said:
81 have been trying to persuade Haw-
thorne to write story, based upon a le-
gend of Acadia, and still current there ;
the legend of a girl who, in the dis
persion of the Acadians, was separated
from her lover, and passed her life in
waiting and seeking for him, and only
found him dying in a hospital when
both were old"
LongfeIlow wondered that this legend
did not strike the fancy of Hawthorne,
and said to him: eff you have really
made up YOUR mind not to use it for a
story, will you give it to me for q poem %
To this Hawthorne assented, and more
over promised not to treat the subject
in prose till Longfellow had seen what
he could do with it in verse. And so
we have "Evangeline" in beautiful hex
ameter-a poem that will hold its place
in literature while true affection lasts.
Hawthorne rejoieed in this great success
of Longfellow, and loved to count up
the editions both foreign and American,
of this now world-renowned poem

Both of the Topeka dailies come to us
materially reduced in size. The Com
monlCeaIth is now an eight column and
the Record seven column paper. The
latter has made another change also,
viz: from morning to an evening pa
per. The reasons that have induced
the publishers to make these changes
are of pecuniary nature entirely.
Their patronage in the matter of adver-
Using has greatly diminished within
the past few months, and retrenchment
in some shape became a necessity.
While we should be pleased to see our
neighbors so prosperous as to enable
them to enlarge their borders instead of
narrowing them, we commend the step
they have taken as being, under the
one of good practical
sense. Both of the Topeka Dailies are
ably managed in their editorial depart
ments, and we hope that such prosper
GUS days may soon come to them again as
shall compel them once more to enlarge
their dimensions.

THE NEW CONGRESS.

At noon on Saturday last, the forty
first Congress adjourned sine die, and
the forty-second Congress began its ex-
istence. The House reelected all its
officers. The new session will proba-
bly, be quite short, and there is no ap-
parent necessity for it being otherwise.
The republicans do not have the two
thirds majority. in the House that they
have enjoyed for a number of years, but
there is not the same urgent necessity
for that preponderance, and we can do
just as we'll, if not better, without it.
Speaker Blaine's speech just previous
to declaring the forty-first Congress f.
nally adjourned, was warmly applaud
ed, and reads as follows:
s'GENTLEMEN Our labors are at an
end, hut / delay final adj ournment long

Congress whose existence closes with

states have been represented on this
floor since the baleful winter that pre-
coded our late bloody war. Ten years
have passed since then, years of trials
and triumphs, years of wild destruction
and years of careful rebuilding, and as a
result our national government is here
to-day, united, strong and proud, def

our great struggle let us humbly give

Some woman in New York city has
been making speech in which she adj
vised all her unmarried sisters to re-
main in single blessedness. She says
the men of New York make poor hus-
bands. They care everything about
making money, but care nothing for
their wives. The afflicted sisterhood
of New York would do well to immi-
CRATE en- mGsse to the glorious State of
Kansas. where we can assure them they
viii find plenty of husbands who will
treat them kindly and who will not
think less of them than of filthy lncre.
