The Beauties and Workings Of Radical
ism-s'Let Us Have Peace"

CINCINNATI, August st1S.-Tabbs Gross,
a eolored orator from Little Rock, Ar
kansas, and delegate to the Cincinnati
Convention in May, spoke in Newport,
Kentucky, at a Greeley meeting. His
wife resides in Cincinnati. He says, on
Saturday night he came over on the
ferry to Cincinnati, where two colored
men met him and told him it would be
dangerous for him to come to Cincin-
natl. At two o'clock this morning he
said twenty cOlored men called on him
at his wife's residence, awakened him
and sent two of their number into the
house, who told him they were COM
mittee sent by forty white men to leave
to leave the city by half-past nine o'clock
this evening, or he would meet certain
death. He sent for his friend, George
Peterson to come and see him, but Pc
terson replied that he dared not, and
advised him to leave the city. He went
to Covington at three O'clock this after
noon. He says the colored men in Gov
ington have visited him and told him
he should not speak there tomorrow
night. The Covington police have re-
ceived special instructions to maintain
order.

HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The CORgregdtionalist contains very
instructive comparison of the relative
expense of home and foreign work, as
follows: "The objection is sometimes
raised against the foreign work that it ii
too expensive as compared with work as
home. Numerous facts seem to point in
the opposite direction. For sflgle ex-
ample, the Congregational body in Illi-
nois gives fair specimen ofhome work.
Its churches and ordained ministers are
in number about equal to those of the
American Board. The Board has, how
ever, fifteen hundred converts a wear
for twenty years, while the Illinois
churches for the last twelve years have
averaged nine hundred and ninety-three
Other statistics are given of the same
kind, which points in the same way.
The Missionary HearJd thinks it time
that grOundless statements respecting
the comparatively meagre results of
missionary work should cease. Such
may be occasionally al
lowed, however, that objectors may be

is false and malicious.
Col. Blanton Duncan, in an interview

feat Greeley, and they would come back
in body and elect O'Connor, who has
already consented to become a candidate.

GENERAL LIE To HIs son.

I
During the war Northern papers pub
lished the following excellent and char
acteristic private letter from General
Lee to his son Custis, the original of
which was found among the papers
which were purlOined from Arlington
House. 1t is interesting, and although
written many years ago, viii well repay
perusal:
ARLINGTON HOUSE, April ), 1852.
Ny DEAR SoN-f am just in the act
of leaving home for New Mexico. My
| fine old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and i must hasten
to see that they are all properly taken
care of. / have but little to add in reply
to your letters Of March Goth, 9th and
18th. Your letters breathe a spirit of
frankness They have given myself
and your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the world;
frankness is the child of honesty
and courage. Say what you mean
TO do on every occasion, and take it for
granted you mean to 40 right. If a friend
a ks favor you should grant it if it is
reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why
you cannot; you will wrong him and
you will wrong yourself by equivocation
of any kind. Never do wrong thing
to make friend or to keep one; the man
who requires you to do 50 is dearly
purchased at sacrifice. Deal kindly
but firmly with your classmates; you
will find it the policy that wears best.
Above all do not appear to Others what
you are not. If you have any fault to
find with any one tell him, not others,
of what you complain; there is no more
dangerous experiment than that of un-
dertaking to be one thing before mans
face and another behind his back. We
should live, act and say nothing TO the
injury of any one. 1t is not only best
as matter of principle, but il is the
path to peace and honor. In regard to
duty, let me, in conclusion of this hasty
letter, inform you that nearly one hun
dred years ago there was day of re-
markable gloom and darkness, still
known as the dark day, day when
the light of the sun was slowly ex-
tnguished as if by an eclipse. The Leg
islatureof Connecticut was in session and
as its members saw the unexpected and
unaccOuntable darkness coming on, they
shared in the general awe and terror.
1t was supposed by many that the last
day-the day of judgment-had come.
Some one, in the CONSERVATION of the
hOuAi hiONCu du duJOuIHA1Sul. 1Heu
there arose an old Puritan legislator,
Davenport Sanford, who said that if the
last day had come he desired to be found
at his place doing his duty, and there
fore moved that candles be brought so
that the House could proceed with its
duty. There was quietness in that mans
mind-the quietness of heavenly wis
DOMAIN inflexible willingness to obey
present duty. Duty, then, is the sub
limest word in our language. Do your
duty in all things like the old Puritan.
You cannot do more; you should never
wish to do less. Never let me and your
mother wear one gray hair for any lack
of duty on your part. Your affectionate
father, E.LEE.

letter from J. B. Hawley, emphatically
denying the statement Of Judge Eus-
tace at Springfield, in which he charges
that President Grant stated TO Judge
Wilson, of Utah, in Hawley's presence,
the reason Judge Wilson was removed
from Office was because be declined to
decide a question of Law as the President
wished it decided. Judge Wilson him

Mrs. Hattie Wilder, of Wyandotte,
Kansas, unthinkingly put q needle-gun
cartridge in the place OF pin in one of
the old-style bedsteads, and drove it in
point foremost with a hammer. OF
course it exploded, and the brass part
flying back, dividing in three pieces,
struck her about the chin. The butt end
cut from the center of the chin down,
and lodged about the collar-bone, while
the other two pieces plOwed their way,
one on each side of the chin, cutting
deep but not dangerous gashes.
