JUDGE JEREMIAH ii. BLACK writes in a
recent letter to the York Penn Ga
zette "The horrible and disgusting
frauds in New York have done more to
grieve and dishearten the friends of
good government than any other thing
that has occurred within my recollec-
ton. To save the Democratic party
alive, it must repudiate these scoundrels
utterly. If they fail to do it they will
go down to political perdition."

there is an elegant systemized language he
can just as well use. But don't you do is.

Now, young ladies of unexceptionable
character and really good education fall
into this habit, thinking it shows smartness
to answer in slang phrases; and they soon
slip fippantly from their tongues with a
saucy pertiness, that is not ladylike or be-
coming. Young men who talk in that way
do not care to hear it from the lips they
love or admire. 1t sounds much coarser
then.
Il bet," or " you bet," is enough be-
tween men who trade horses or lands; but
the contrast is startling and positively
shocking when young man is holding the
hand of his lady love, to hear those words
issue from her lips. They seem at once
to surround her with the rougher associa-
tions of his daily life and bring her down
from the pedestal of purity, whereon he
had placed her, to his own coarse level.

A New Trick Upon Travellers.

\ gentleman recently travelling from
Philadelphia to New York, fell into a
chance conversation in the smoking car
with stranger having all the outward ap-
pearances of respectability. After some
quarter of an hours talk, the stranger po-
litely asked the gentleman if he would
take cigar, at the same time holding out
two cigars, one looking like a Regalia, the
other smaller, such as is usually called a
London size. The gentleman happened
to take the larger one, being the nearest
to him as presented, the stranger recon-
mended MN to take the smaller one, re-
marking that he thought it was of better
flavor After smoking about quarter to
a third of the cigar. the gentleman discov-
cred that he was suddenly becoming very
dizzy. \ suspicion flashed through his
mind that the cigar was not all right. He
Immediately threw it away; but his gid
diness increased so much that it was with
the greatest difficulty that he preserved
his self possession. In few minutes a
most copious perspiration started from
every pore of his body and the water fair
ly ran off his person.
The stranger meanwhile was apparent
ly sound asleep on the other end of the
seat. On his arrival at New York the
gentleman with great difficulty got ont of
the car and took a carriage for his hotel
where he was soon after violently attacked
with vometing and passed very sick night
He has been for several years resident
of Cuba, a great smoker, and is fully con-
vinced that the cigar was drugged and
that this is a new dodge to entrap the un-
wary for the pur pose of robbery.
He attributes his escape to the fact of
his smoking but little of the cigar, and to
his robust constitution. Our railroad man
ayers will be obliged to issue supple
ment to the ''notice" sometimes seen in
the cars: ''Beware of weil-dressed men
who ask you to play auchre,' cautioning
the public to ''Beware of well-dressed men

quently, and applied with skill and discre-
ton. Blue is the chosen color of oIr an
cient brethren of the symbolic degrees
1t symbolizes the elevation of our hearts
to the Most High. 1t is the emblem
of universal friendship and benevolence,
and instructs US that in the mind of Ma
son those virtues should be as expansive
as the blue arch of heaven, and as limit
less as the bounds of the universe.
To build up the broken-hearted, to ex-
tricate the industrious from misfortune,
to rescue the helpless and the orphan from
the prospects of want and ruin, to comfort
the widow in affiiction's hour. and to af-
ford peaceful home ON earth to the aged
and deserving in the evening of their days
are objects worthy the regard of every Ma
son who values the delight of others, and
the honor of the Craft, or the appreciation
of God himself.
Charity constitutes the highest dignity
of human nature; it elevates and refnes !;
it calms the storm of passion it causes
men co regard each other with kindness,
and to view no one as a stranger whose
joys we can heighten, wants supply, or sor-
rows soothe. No distinction of rank will
affect its operations; it considers no object
beneath its notice that car promote human
happiness. Where would be the boasted
dignity of reason if employed only to pro-
mote narrow. selfish views? Where the
glory of that knowledge which never of
itself advised or comforted another? And
where the honor of that power which never
promoted intelligent merit or wiped
tear from the mourner's eye? A fend may
possess higher degree of reason. more
knowledge and more power than the wis
est and best of men; but destitute of

Do not be alarmed, dear reader; we do

is well to remember that such record
will at some time in the future be made,

your spiritual preparation. but of the ar

may not have accumulated great fortune,
yet what you have is the result of long and
patient labor, and you have an earnest de-
sire that it may not only be a home of
happiness while you live, but remain

Why, then, not, like sensible man, make
an arrangement of this kind while you
have health and sound mind? Why
will you neglect this solemn and necessary
duty toward those you love. and allow the
law to come in and attempt at making
amends for your carelessness and neglect?

your children have been rocked, the old

and "set off" by tie majesty of the law;
and the red flag of the auctioneer will fly
at your door, and curious people crowd
your now pleasant abode to drive cheap
bargains. Is there any necessity for this?
Why must you fee courts and lawyers, and
appraisers and auctioneers, to sacrifice the

In the present age of put-up jobs. it is
not at all surprising to US to hear the char
acter, both private and public, of any gen
tleman assailed without cause by ''curs of
low degree"
The case of Hon. R. R. Butler and the
Pension Ring, which has been before the
people for some time, furnishes a pretty
good example of this personal bounding
| business. Whether the hounds are after
notoriety through theirnames being coup
led in newspaper columns with that of gen.
tlemen we know not.
We do know that documentary evidence
exists which completely clears Judge But
ler of the alledged charges of defrauding,
and that an examination of the facts of the
case will satisfy the public of the innocence
Of the accused, we entertain not the slight
est doubt. As We have not consulted
Judge Butler or anybody else as to the
propriety of taking up this case in the
columns of "THE STANDARD, we here

Of all the things hate to see
In school, or Church, or State,

Its that truly hate.
In this the men. and often boys,
Are guilty Of transgression;
In parlor neat, they'll take seat,
And chew without permission.
And there they'll sit, and chew and spit
AS dirty as pig;
The dirty pipe they'll bring to sight
Because it looks so big;
And even boys of ten or twelve.
With ragged clothes They'll go;
They'll loaf and spout with elbows out,
And pay not what they owe.
They come to school and break the rule
Tobacco they will use;
And to this end they'll money spend,
And go without their shoes.
And as for books, just by their looks,
You know that they wont use 'em;
And good advice, and things that's nice,
They always will abuse 'em.
Even women will dare to smoke,
And use the sinking pipe;
Then mix the bread, and make the bed,
o! What dirty sight!
Come all ye little boys and girls,
A lesson learn in time;7
And never lend nor money spend,
But the hill of science climb.

Carolinas, are waking mp to the advant-
ages of the manufacture of cotton goods.
At Camden, Alabama, wealthy compa-
ny have taken the initiatory steps to erect
a large building and fill it with the most
approved machinery. At Carrolton, Mis-

which in a short time will employ one hun
dred and eighty spindles. In Marengo
county Alabama, they are making arrange

At Cuba Station, Sumter county, facto-
ry is also shortly to be in operation
These are few of the indications that the
South will soon become filed with facto-
ries. The result Of the war is throwing
capital into an entirely new channel. The
facilities of easy ntercommunication, the
abundance of material to be used in man
ufacturing, contiguity to the said material,
equability of temperature, and thousand
