An AnecdOte of Everett.

In his speech at the Amherst semi-cen-
tennial commencement Professor Park
said: II have recalled this afternoon a
scene which occurred thirty-six years ago,
on the day preceding commencement.
Edward Everett then delivered the ora
ton. In the midst of the grafton he ut
tered one sentence which called forth
bursts of applause.
81 will read that sentence: Before the
admirjng student of nature has realized all
the wonders of the world, let him sit down
and know the Universe in which he lives,
by examining the races ofanimals disport-
ing themselves in their representative ocean

After that sentence, it appeared as il
all Amherst College would not cease to
clap their hands and stamp their feet and
yet you seem to be unmoved by the recital.
Now the question comes, what is the rea-
son. The reason is found in the studied
artlessness of Edward Everett.
While he was on the point of speaking
the words, drop of water, he turned
carelessly and saw glass of water on the
table. He put his finger in the glass, and
drop of water was suspended therefrom.

Terrible FFatrieide.

We have just learned the particulars of a
terrible fratricide which occurred on Fri
day last, the LIST instant, in Doe River
Cove, Carter county, Tennessee, some
twenty-five miles above this place, Our
informant is just from the scene of the
murder, hence there is no mistake in re-
gard to the sad and unfortunate affair.
Two brothers, named William and Joseph
Waters, residing some five miles above
Hon. IL. Simerley's store, in the above
named Cove, were the parties. 1t appears
they had married sisters, whose maiden
name was Carver. William owned farm
which came by his wife, on which his
brother Joseph was living. On Friday
morning William went to the orchard on
salu farm for the purpose of getting some
fruit to dry, and whilst thus engaged, his
brother Joseph went to him and ordered
nm TO desist. He stated the fruit was his
own, and continued his work, whereupon
Joseph threw stone at him while he was
in tree gathering the fruit. William
then descended from the tree, and after
few angry words, scuffle took place be-
tween them, Joseph striking William
with his clenched fist several times. VIII
nam then drew an ordinary pOcket-knife,
and stabbing his brother twice, first on his
arm, and then under his arm-the last
blow reaching the heart-from which he
died in five minutes thereafter. William
then went to the barn, saddled his horse
and made his escape into the mountains
near by, and has not since been heard
from.
our informant passed up the country
ana saw the brothers on Thursday, and on
Ms return Friday found the terrible affair
had occurred as above stated, and saw par

unfortunate victim.

The Strasburg Cathedral.

A writer who has recently visited the
above cathedral says that outside it looks
very much as it did eight years ago, with
the exception of broken statue here and
there. OF the interior, he says:
But on going within the beautiful edi-
flee, we were greatly grieved to see the
fearful gaps-now closed by boards-and
numerous speckings all over the grand
colored glass of the windows. The one
most seriously damaged is in the clerestory
of the nave, Immediately facing the organ
The large cinque-foil in the head of this is
shot away, and great damage is done to
other portions of this and the neighboring
windows. A horrible "obus" came
crashing through the glass, few across the
nave of the cathedral, and, smashing in
the organ pipes, lodged in the organ itself;
here, wonderful to tell, it remained with
out exploding. Had it burst of course,
humiliation of not only the beautiful or
gan. but also of great part of the cathe-
dral itself, must have been the conse-
quence. The custodian of the tower has
had the dreadful missile mounted on foot
of marble, and OH it is fixed brass plate
telling the day, or rather the night, month
and year when this fearful hail of iron and
fire fell on the devoted town. The organ
pipes have not yet been replaced, but
white linen blinds are drawn down over
the cruel gaps, More than half of the or
gan is covered, thus showing the extent of
the damage done. The marvellous me-
chanical clock is apparently uninjured.

Senator Morton on Free Trade.

| am for a revenue tariff, but l want it
so levied if ii can be as to give incidental
protection to our own manufacturers with
out imparing the revenue, and if anybody
is opposed to that principle it must be be-
cause he is absolutely in favor of foreign
producers as against home producers. Now,
my friends, let me say another thing right
here. We are all interested in having di-
versified industries in this country. 1t is
best not to have too many men employed
in any one thing, but to have this employ
ment so divided as to supply all our wants
at home. There is no market that is so
good as home market. / state that as a
general proposition. Talk about free trade
as between countries where they have I'M
equal valve of labor: how can there be
free trade upon equal terms between two
countries when labor is fifty per cent
higher in one than the other? [ want to
know how that nation is going to compete
in manufactures that pays fifty per cent
more for labor and materials than the
other nation that pays fifty per cent. less
1t cannot be done, my friends. There can
be no free trade upon equal terms between
two such nations. You might as well talk
about free navigation between two lakes,
when one il two hundred feet above the
other. Is there any free navigation be-
tween Erie and Ontario? No. You have
pass from one to the other by means of
the Welland canal, by tortuous naviga-
ton. Yes, there is free navigation be-
tween them, but it is over Niagara; and L
tell you wherever there is free trade be-
tween two nations when one pays so per
cent. more for labor than the other
does, they go over Niagara.

HOME CHEERFULNESS.-M child
| goes astray not because there is want of
prayer or virtue at home, but simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles as much as flowers need sunbeams.
Children look little beyond the present
moment If thing displeases, they are
prone to avoid it. If home is a place
where faces are sour aud harsh, and fault
finding is ever in the ascendant, they will
spend as many hours as possible elsewhere.
Let every father and mother, then, try to
be happy. Let them look happy, let them
talk to their children, especially the little
ones, in such a way as to make them hap

From the mound the spade had made that dav.

That little grave in our home had made.

One yard would have served for an ample pail;
And one man in his arms could have borne away
The rosewood and its freight Of clay.
But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.

With folded hands by that form of clay;
I know that burning tears were hid
Meath the dropping lash and aching lido
And know her lip and cheek and brow
Were almost as white as her baby's now.
/ know that some things were hid away,
The crimson frock and wrappings gay;
The little sock, and the half-worn shoe,
The cap with its plumes and tassels blue;
And the empty crib, with its covers spread,
As white as the face Of the snless dead.
