The editress of the Lancaster Liter.

her nose 10 a rats nest of swingle tow
as to allow man with whiskers to kiss
her, to which the New Orleans Bee, it
may be ungallantly, thus responded :

objections which some ladies pretend
to have to whiskers all arise from en-
Wy. They would if the could, but the
fact is, the continual motion of the
lower jaw is fatal to their growth. The
ladies-God bless them adopt our
fashions as fast as they can. Look at
the depreciation the dear creatures
have committed on our wardrobes the
last few years. They have appropriated
our shirt bosoms, gold studs and all
They have enciricled their soft, be-
witching necks in our standing collars
and cravats-drlving us men to fiat
teries and turndowns. Their innocent
little hearts have been pa!pitating in
the inside of our waist-coatS, instead
laundering against the outside, as nat
urnlly intended. They have thrust
their pretty feet and ankles through
unmentionables-in short, as Micaw-
ber would say, brechshes. Aud they

A correspondent from Brazil Of the
Boston Advertiser writes: "The negro
totes every thing on his head from
small paper parcel to grand piano,
and, on this head, lady spending
the hot months in Tijuca ordered her
piano sent out from the city, a distance
of about twenty miles, supposing it
would be sent by steam. But on the
day appointed eight negroes made their
appearance at Whites Hotel In TJuca,
with the said piano riding aloft on
their woolly heads-having brought
it the entire distance, including the
mountain road Of three miles heavy

rest on the way. Before setting it
down these jolly negroes paraded 1t
about the yard with a sing song march,
to show that they were not III least

A SINGULAR CASE OF GENEROSITY, If true,
is that of Mr.. Derby, of this city, who has
bequeathed his estates in England, valued at
eleven million dollars, under certain condi-
tons, to the United States government. Mr..
Derby had to leave his property to somebody,
and he wisely left it to the party who would
make the best use Of it. By all means let the
government take action in this matter and
make good its claims upon the unexpected
legacy. Such presents have not often, if
ever, been made to Uncle Sam. He cannot,
therefore, afford to lose this change. 1t will
add something toward the payment Of the
national debt, and the example merits all the
encouragement in the world. A few more
such legacies, and all further excuse for Mr.
Boutwell's odious financial measures will be
taken away from him.

RATHER Slow ABOUT IT-The venerable
philosopher, Horace Greeley, in forming his
opinion as to the right man for the next Presi-
dency. He says 81 have not yet formed
decided opinion as to who ought to be our next
republican candidate for President, but 1t
seems to me advisable that he should be
steadfast, constant believer in the good old
whig doctrine Of one Presidential term" And
all this because General Grant has not courted
Mr.. Greeley, and has given mortal offence to
Senator Fenton in appointing Mr.. Murphy to
the New York Custom House, and In various
things of that sort. If the Fenton- Greeley
republican faction of this city and State hold
on to their present zone term" frame Of mind,
we may look for a little one horse independent
radical ticket here in opposition to General
Grant in 1872. And such are your huckstering
party politicians.

The weather was beautiful yesterday and
the display was excellent. While the regular
exercises proceeded at Cypress Hills and
Greenwood, the more lonely graves of Ad-
miral Farragut and General Kearny were
not forgotten. The exercises at both these
spots-one at Woodlawn and the other In
Trinity churchyard, on busy Broadway-wers
unusually impressive. The ceremony has in
it something more than the tribute of tender
affection for the dead. It means also a fos-
tering of heroism in the living; for there il
something in this lavish tenderness for the
dead heroes Of the country that will nerve
the yet young arm to quicker combat in her
behalf and make the embryo soldiers of the
republic feel that it is sweet and good to die
for ones country.
The ceremonies were very general all over
the country. President Grant participated in
them at Arlington Cemetery, together with
the members of the Cabinet, and General
Stewart L. Woodford delivered the address.
At Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago,
Cincinnati and other large cities out West the
exercises were quite impressive, and every
where calm, peace and harmony prevailed,
except, indeed, at Mount Auburn, Boston,
where slight misunderstanding between tho
whites and blacks came near resulting in q
fight The general observance Of the day
yesterday places it already among the cher
ished holy days of the nation, in which every
household in the land has sad and sacred
personal interest.

VIcToR Huao's HOUSE IN BRUSSELS
cable DESPATCH which we print this morning
informs us that the people of Brussels have
smashed the windows of the house Of Victor
Hugo in Brussels. This fact properly inter-
preted can only mean that the Communists,
with whom Victor Hugo is known to frater-
nize, although he has cautiously stood aloof,
is properly measured and thoroughly UNDER
stood in the Belgian capital. The discovered
intention of the Communists to retire upon
Brussels when driven from Paris, and in that
other centre recommence the struggle, has, in
all likelihood, had to do with this attack upon
the house Of the great novelist. In view Of
the great events which are now transporting in
Europe this window smashing is small affair.
But as the straw sometimes indicates the
direction of the wind we regard this smashing
Of Victor Hugo's windows as fresh proof
that the so-called Commune is voted down in
Brussels. as in Paris. After Paris Brussels is
the next hotbed Of European ''reds." The
sign is therefore all the more encouraging.

SUMMARY EXECUTIONS In PARIs.-The
Paris journals, SO says a despatch, demand
from the Versailles government the cessation
Of summary executions. Our advice is no
cessation of summary judgment and summary
execution. Devils let loose from their own
place cannot be too soon sent home. IF the
Versailles government would avoid the fate
of Saul, King of Israel, they must not forget
the words of the Lord-'Lo and utterly
destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight
against them until they be consumed" Saul
spared the ungodly, and Saul in consequence
lost the favor Of the Lord. The spirit of the
first king of Israel has been too conspicuousy
revealed outside of the Commune. NJ Theirs
will do well to initiate the example of his
enemies. Root them out, destroy them
utterly, M. Theirs, if you would save France.
No mistaken humanity.

THE FUNERALS OF THE WEST PITTsToN
VICTIMS took place yesterday. The Coroner's
investigation indicates that the fire originated
in the journals, and was probably brought
about by lack Of oiling, and that the Mine In
spector has been very remiss in his duties. As
preliminary to further improvem ents in the
condition of the miners, to be brought about by
this great disaster, 1t would be well to dismiss
Mr.. Inspector Williams from his position if it
is fully shown that he has been remiss. His
summary punishment would be likely to serve
as an effectual warning to other inspectors
who may also be neglecting their duties. In
the meantime, an appeal for contributions and
aid for the families Of the sufferers has been
made, and we oil know how New York will
answer.

these vetoes Of Governor Hoffman, Of big jobs

the masses Of the people of both parties. 1t
is likewise an excellent thing that Governor
Hoffman in these vetoes has proved that he Is

ring, but flaps his vetoes about the ears Of the
jobbers in fine style. No wonder this man is
favorite with the people.

THE TAX ON THE New YORK CENTRAL SCRIP
DIVIDEND. 1t remains to be seen whether the
decision of the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue will be operative, so far as it will
collect the ong-disputed tax on the famous
scrip dividend Of the New York Central Rail-
road; for with the known wealth of that cor
poration there is little doubt that the whole
question will be carried to the United States
Supreme Court, there to be argued for per-
haps several years. If the tax is insisted
upon, however, General Pleasonton ought to
go farther. When the New York Central road
consolidated with the Hudson River road the
united corporation received scrip dividend
Of forty-fve millions of dollars, this sum in
Guiding by exchange the original scrip divi-
dend on New York Central. If the law is to
be enforced let the tax be collected on the
whole scrip dividend of the present successor
Of the New York Central road. Five per cent
on forty-fve millions would be two million
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to
which sum the government is really entitled,
instead of only one million one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, as claimed by the reve-
nue. officials.
