Purchase of Lees Portrait by Sfr'
ginia.

On Wednesday night, after hotly'
contested fight, the House Of Delegates
by a vote OF 70 to 90, passed the Senate
Joint resolution appropriating 5000 for
the purchase Of John A. Elders por-
trait of General Lee, which adorns the
walls Of the Senate chamber, AT
tempts were made during the day to
tack on appropriations for portraits OF
General Winfield Scott, ex.Presldent
Lincoln and General George ii. Thorn,
az; but as any amendment would send
the resolution back to the Senate, and
thus defeat its passage, they were OF
course not favorably considered. Sew
eral Republicans voted for 1T on its
passage. Had it been defeated, how
ever, It would have been otherwise pur-
chased for the State, for petition,

A NEW. swindling dodge has been de-
tected in Indiana. The "gentlemanly
agent" of seeding machine, threshing
machine, or any other instrument as
the case may be, introduces himself to
some responsible farmer, explains the
merits of the machine he is travelling
for and appoints the farmer an agent
for its sale, merely providing that after
he has sold by order say three hundred
dollars worth OF the machines and re-
ceived a handsome commission there
for from the manufacturers, he shall
pay the "gentlemanly agent ten dol
lars. A printed or written contract to
this effect is produced and the farmer
reads it over carefully, finds it all cor
rect and signs it. The swindler goes
away and cuts off an inch or two OF the
paper on which the pretended contract
was written, and what remains is a
promissory note in legal form for three
hundred dollars, signed by the farmer.
This he sells for whatever he can get
for it and goes elsewhere to repeat the
operation. We mention it in order to
put our readers upon their guard

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The election news from Connecticut
this morning don't look quite so com
Portable as was expected a few days ago
The vote is close, but the preponderance
slight though it be, is on the wrong
side. The Republican candidate fol-
Governor is elected, though it is proba'
bic that the Democrats gain one mem
Der Of Congress. In Connecticut, as
elsewhere, wherever Republican victo'
ries have been won, the negroes carried
the day, and to "the colored troops
belongs whatever Of glory may result.
GRANT seems to be endorsed by the ne,
groes The election in Connecticut
teaches this lesson, and has no other
significance beside.
But, Notwithstanding the negro vote
we must admit that Republican vic
tory in Connecticut at this time is quite
unexpected. Our disappointment in
this case, however, is no greater than
was our establishment al the Democra.
tic success in New Hampshire, and we
therefore rest content. If the Demo
cracy can only carry one New England
State at time, we are just as well
satisfied to have New Hampshire as
Connecticut; it don't make much differ
ence, but whatever advantage is gained
by the swap is on the Democratic side.
In the Forty-first Congress, we had only
one member from the New England
States; in the Forty-second, we have
four at least, and probably five, We
are perfectly willing to make Yankee
trades Of that kind all the time.
A very large vote was polled in Con-
necticut, and much more than usual ex-
ertion was put forth by the friends OF
the Federal administration, owing to the

SOME Of the recent articles IN the
New York Evening Post in relation TO
General GRANT are truly omlnous'
They hint at impeachment in such a
manner as to leave no doubt OF the In
tention of the writer to call public at
tention to such a possible remedial con-
tingency. General GRANT is called
upon to retrace his steps ere 1t Is too
late. He is pursuing a fatal path.
There is time for him to turn about.
1t SAYS: "And surely, in the light Of the
extraordinary and unconstitutional pro-
ceedings, which the dispatches else
where disclose, it is high time for him
to turn. The acts Of war which he has
authorized are such that, should it
seem fit to the House Of Representa-
tives to impeach him at the bar OF the
Senate for violation OF the Constitution
he swore to respect, he would find II
difficult to make defense.

TwENrY-EIeHr Radical Senators have
expressed their intention to vote against
the San Domingo job. They cannot
see how this movement is to benefit the
United States. San Domingo has no
coal, a. was reported. She has no coal
ing station, as was reported, All her
available land is hypothecated. All
her franchises are held by private spec
ulators, headed by BAEz and some par
ties in this country. Her detts are all
that is left to annex, and of those, the
home supply is sufficient to meet the
public demand. When the full enor-
ormity of this San Domingo movement
is understood by the people, those who
favor it will receive fitting and proper
reward for their labors.

see for the Commission, has sur
prised several connected with the ex-
petition, and who had the fullest con-

had his way he would cut her in two
and throw each half overheard. He
spoke in other ways in the most dis
paraging manner Of the vessel, and as
he claims to have received these i'm
pressions upon his first visit to the ship,
when getting her ready, the matter is ex'
citing considerable comment.

A THOUGHT.

When the day dawus, and we arise 10
find the sky clear aud the bright hours
all before us, how 10th we are to lie down
upon our pillow again. There are so
many things to do---such pleasant things
some Of them: our friends are coming,
or we are going to visit them; there is
walk or drive, or little feast in pros.
pect--it seems SO pleasant TO be awake,
But when the day has gone, and night
has come again, we are generally ready
for it. We are, at best, tired with our
frolic or our pleasure. Ten to one, We
are disappointed in something. Some
little unpleasant incident has marred the
brightest hour. Some skeleton has ia.
ken its seat at the feast, or peeped out of
secret uioset. II is SO delightful to
fling off the 6pery it reioiced US 10 put
on; to put out the light and lie down,
courtipg slumber, g... ,..,.
So though, in the heyday of life, we
dread that last, long, quiet sleep, DO doubt
those who live to be old hail it as their
best friend. The loves and hopes of
early life have ended in disappointment.
Their dear ones have left them alone
The life that seemed so sweet has chang
ed to bitterness, and all the sweetness is
with death. just as we YEARLY climb
the bedroom stairs with our tired feet, SO
we will climb life's last steps. We have
danced and toiled alternately; we are as
tired of our joy as Of our sorrow, and We
will hail repose eternal, as we hailed the
repose of the night when life was all be
fore us. @ sar1 s. 5.;6asv

'H A DoUGHNUT INCIDENT On Thurs

lady of this city was surprised. and, on
the whole, she had reason to be She
was at supper, and, on the table reposed

The lady took up one and was convey.
ing it to her mouth, when there sprang
from it vigorous little mouse, which
landed on her shoulder, scampered around
her neck, descended to the floor, and
speedily vanished in some friendly crew
ice The lady screamed, of course, as
under the circumstances she was perfectly
excusabIe for doing, and when she had
recovered from the shock, the doughnut
was examined
1t was found that while it remained in
the pantry the mouse had gnawed hole
through one side of the article, had
scooped out little hollow, and had there
established his winter quarters The
pressure of the lady's hand on the dough-
nut as she took it up, probably troubled
his mouseship, and he made an abrupt

THE FAMILY ALTAR.

There are few memories that are 80
fresh and powerful in after years, as the
memories of the household altar can
travel back over the path of forty years
and recall the very tones of my father
voice, as he reyerently read the Bible,
and devoutly prayed, in the midst OF his
children; how faithfully he taught them
lessons of Christian truth and duty, in
those thoughtless days of youth, and |
bless his memory now for what did not
appreciate then. l believe that the mem
cries of Christian parents and early asso--
Citations of Christian home, scarcely
ever die out of the heart Rev DR..
Adams, in his beautiful book ON "Thanks-
giving Memories" gives us the following
incident: &c In the Cathedral of Liner
lex there hangs chime of bells, which
was cast in Italy by an enthusiast iu his
trade, who fixed his home near the mo-
nastry where they we're FIRST hung, that
he might daily enjoy their sweet and SOL
emn music. In some political revolution
the bells were taken away to a distant
land, aud their maker himself became
refugee and exile. His wanderiDes
brought him after many years, to Ireland
On calm and beautiful evening, as the
vessel which bore him foated on the
placid bosom of the Shannon, suddenly
the evening chimes pealed from the cathe-
dral towers. His practiced ear caught
the sweet sound, and knew that his lost
treasures were found. His early home.
his old friends, his beloved native land,
all the bsst associations of his life were
in those sounds. he laid himself back
in the boat, crossed his arms upon his
breast, and listened 10 the music The
boat reached the wharf, but still he lay
there, silent and motionless. They spike
to him but he did not answer They
went to him but his spirit had fed The
tide of memories that came vibrating
through his heart at that we'll known
chime had snapped its strings"
And SO sometimes, iu after life, when
the feet of a wayward man have strayed
far away from the home of his youth and
his heart has wandered far from his ia
theirs God, some memory of the past,
like the sad melody of the evening
chime, may wake long ng-slumbering echoes
and stir long-sealed fountains; and fa-
theirs counsel and mothers prayers will
come up from the sacred burial places of
the past, with wondrous power to melt
and win the wayward heart.
Yes, family ought to be little
Church of Jesus Christ. The father
should be its pastor, conducting its daily
worship and leading the dear circle 10
the way of truth and duty Every tie
which binds one living heart TO another,
should be made stronger and more ten
der by the influence of common tie to
Jesus. Such household will have a
happy home. Their circumstances may
be humble and their lot be lowly but if
they have Christ in the family there will
always be sunshine and peace. The
house cannot secure the highest domestic
joy, which, like the inn at Bethlehem,
has no room for Jesus
