The Rebel Secret Service Record.

The Washington Chronicle cites an
instance in which the Government saved
$50, 900 over and above the cost of the
record. as follows:
"As to the value of these archives. il
has transpired that in a single case al
read y. Sl25 900 was saved to the Gov.
eminent by evidence gathered from them
A claim had been backed by twenty wit
ne<ses before the commission. and had
all the appearance of being just, when a
letter found among these archives rstab
lished beyond cavil that the witnesses
had perjWed themselves. and that the
claimant had been in the rebel service at
the very time he claimed to have been
making sacrifices for the Union cause
He very abruptly put on his hat and dis
appeared when confronted with the evi
dence of his knavery. Beyond all ques-
tion these archives will tell a thousand
tales that will estop the trumping up OF
false claims, and deter di-loyal men from
attempting t" draw money from the Trea-
sury to which they have no claim

How to Put Children to fReA,

Not with the reiroof for any of that
days omissions or commission. Take
any other time but bedtime for that.
If you ever heard little creature cry
ing or sobbing in its sleep, you could
never do this. Seal their closing eye,
lids with kiss and a blessing. The
time will come, all too soon, when they
will lay their heads upon their pillow,
lacking both. Let them then, at least,
have this sweet memory Of happy
childhood, of which no future sorrow or
trouble can rob them. Give them
their rosy youth. Nor need this involve
wild license. The judicious parent will
not so mistake meaning. If you have
ever met the man or the woman whose
eyes have suddenly filled when a child
has crept trustingly to its mother $
breast, you may have seen one to whose
childhood's home dignity and severity
stood where love and pity should have
been. Too much indulgence has ruined
thousands of children ; too much love,
not onc.-Fanny Fern.

Reform Senators Rribed by
Tweed and Could.

From the n. Y. Evening Post April IS.
Our Reform Senate has already suf-
iciently indicated its proclivities by its
vote on the Wood Expulsion case.
Wood was proved, by a committee of
its own body, to have accepted fifteen
thousand dollars from the chief robber,
Tweed, and ten thousand dollars more
from Jay Gould, 50 inbred a corrup-
tionist that he is capable of speculating
in Wall street on his own disgrace, and
this money he got without security and
keeps without intention Of repayment.
The Sennte sees nothing in the transac-
ction but matter for gentle censure, and
continues the association with Wood,
who is also retained at the head Of the
Judiciary Committee! Why is this? Can
our readers guess? Will they believe it
when we tell them that it is widely re-
ported that at least six Senators were
recipients of the same kinds of loan as
set Mr.. Wood up in business? The pot
could not call the kettle black, and 80
the Senate was persuaded to temporize
with most patent and disgraceful piece
of rascality.

WhlSkey has Used Kim Up.

There is scarcely a community or
neighborhood, from Maine to Oregon,
where this saying is not used almost
every day in the year, and altogether
too truly. A subject of this kind is
found in almost every town. The mcr-
chant has failed, and whiskey has done
it. The lawyer, with a brilliant talent
and large business, has fallen below
the range Of respectability and conf
dence. Whiskey was the sole cause.
The politician with bright prospects be-
fore him, has played out, and the ac-
count is charged to whisky. The judge
Of age and respectability, is the subject
of private and nighborhood talk. His
enemies point with derision, and his
friends hang their heads in shame, and
whisky has done it. The kind-hearted
neighbor and hard-working man, has
become pest in society and trouble to
his family. Whisky beat him. Whis-
ky will beat any man living, and that
is just what it is made for.-Figaro.

The NaelSlrOlil GO.sc UD.

The terrible maelstorm on the coast
of Norway has unaceountably disap-
peared. A late traveller says there is
no such whirlpool, and it is only when
the tide, current and wind arc at log
gerheads in the narrow straits between
Moskenaessor and the isolated rock of
Mosden that any agitation is visable at
all. He is therefore of the opinion
that some such phenomenon as this,
seen from the shore and exaggerated by
the horror Of the beholder, gave rise to
all the marvellous legends Of the mael-
strom. 1t is sad to part with an old
friend, but really there is no help for
it. Science is inexorible, and that
magnificent old myth of the sea, that
has been swallowing ships in the school
geography for generations, must come
out of that truthful text book as Scylla
and Charybdis and as good many
other myths have done before.

who was the Lady that Got

From the Hartford Times.

1t has transrired that the lady re-
ferred to by ex-Secretary Welles in his
testimony in the Robson investigation
is Mrs. Aulick. A handsome retainer
in the shape Of Christmas present was
given to this fascinating widow, and
just one week later the S93, 900 was
turned over to Secor. Inasmuch as
the then Mrs. Aulick is now Mrs. Rob-
eson, it is to be presumed that her in
luence in the Navy Department was
considerable.

A Boston paper Of very decided Re-
publican proclivities wants to know if
there is any politician in New York
who can be trusted at Albany. The
Radical party ought to know, if any;
for they had the whole work of reform
in their own hands, and boasted loudly
of their revolutionary success; and now
we are told that the atmosphere is as
foul as ever with jobbery and corrup-
ton. If there is any difference between
the Democracy and Republicans in
these respects, it is that degeneracy
with the former is very slow process;
whereas the latter plunge into it at
once as naturally rs a duck takes to
water.-St. Louis Times.

If our present government gets a
new lease of power, it won't be long
before we shall have regular schedule
of prices of public officers. The WASH
ington Chronicle solemnly AYERS that
Robertson, of South Carolina, bought
himself into the U. S. Senate by a
clean outlay of $4,000. We know
that Pomeroy and Caldwell, of Kansas,
got into the same body by sluande ring
money high up in the thousands; and
it is popularly supposed that the sanity

Mistaken Identity.

A good story is told in Washington Of
a genial young gentleman, unwilling to
omit recognition Of an acquaintance,
who, at wedding reception, lately
caught sight of a gray-whiskcred and
rather stately person, and being satisfied
by inquiring of his identity, Immediate
ly edged along to his side.
Good evening" said he, extending
his hand with cordiality. "Im de-
lighted to see you! I believe we
haven't met since We parted in Mex
ico.'
II really fear," said the gray-whis-
kered magnate, "that you have me at
an advantage"
why, you don't recollect. But then
I was very much younger said tho
other, ''when with my father in Mex
icO."
"And, to tell the TRUTH" said the
other gentleman, ''my remembrances
of ever having been in Mexico are very
indistinct.
"Excusc the question:" said the
young man, rather desperately; care
you not Sir Edward Thornton?,'
s.By no means. 1 mJudge Poland
of Vermont. ..-..sse
"a thousand pardons." said the dis
comfted youth moving away. ..s
But few nights afterward, at another
reception, his eye was similarly caught,
and the edge of his modification having
been worn off, he could smile at his
mistake, and he accordingly made his
way once more to the side of a gentle
man, with gray mutton-chop wbiskers,
and after word or two on the weather
and the scene, he suddenly said:
That was an awkward thing Of me
the other night, when I took you for
old Thornton. 4
"And who do you take me for now,
may ask" said his companion. ...-.
"Why-Wny," said the embarrassed
young man Of society-"you told me
you were Judge Poland, of Yer-:
mount ...s -. - -
"On the contrary, my name is
Thornton" was the rather annihilating
response: and the young man at this
day calls it case of diabolic duality.

When Fisk was about ten years of
age, says the Chicago Post, he kept
small market stall i'll Bennington, Vt.
One day the eminent steamboatman,
Daniel Drew, came to the market with
his basket Oh his arm. He asked young
Fisk if his eggs were fresh. "You
bet" replied the ingenious boy, "pop
pulled them off the vines this morning,"
"Give ale dozen sonny" replied Mr..
Drew. The next stall was kept by little
Eliphaht Buckram. els this pump
kin good my son?' asked the venera-
bic stock broker. s'It is good enough
Morgan answered the truthful child,
"but, sir, if you will examine that por-
tion concealed from scrutinizing view,
by contact with the boards forming the
countes Of the stall, you will see that
there is bad spct in it, "Does not
that seem unbusncsslikc, my child, to
cry down your own wares?' asked the
kind hearted millionaire?'' "NIy saint
ed mother told me | must never tell a
lie with my little hatchet," responded
Eliphalet Buckram. The rich man was
moved to tears; he took out his pocket
book and gave Eliphalet Buckram a
pat on the head, and said he was
good little boy. When he had gone,
Eliphalet Buckram said to little James,
go James, what made you tell such a
fb? You know those eggs were laid
three weeks ago You will see that |
have gained customer, and you have
lost one.' Well when Eliphalct went
home, his stepmother came to the door
and said: ''Here you are, you lazy
little sneak, you haven't sold that
pumpkin yet! I'll pumpkin you" And
she took him in her stepmothesly arms,
and famed him with an ox-gad until
he said he would prefer t.king meals
off the mantle-piece for the next few
consecutive days to sitting down with
the rest of the family. And next day
Daniel Drew came into the market, a
roarin' and tcarin'," as the old in
habitants say. and said: where is the
boy that sold me those eggs, eh?' and
Jim Fisk pointed to Eliphalet and
said: "Therc he is SIR" and Daniel
Drew re-enforced that boys step-moth-
cr's ex-goad with his cane so efIectually
that-but never mind, 50 Daniel Drew
bought all his garden sass of Jim Fisk.
In after life Eliphalet Buckram set up
a grocery store, and gave trust to all
the poor people. and never sanded his
sugar, aud wouldn't qualify his rum
with water; SO he burst up. and the
sheriff sold him out, and he went to
the poor-housc. But Daniel Drew kept
his eye on Jin Fisk, and bye and bye
he gave him a partnership in the Erie
firm and Jim beat him out IF $4,000
900. This is not a story for good little
boys. We fear it is too near the truth.

George Washington No. 2.
HOWARD.

A party of soldiers were sitting to-
gether, talking Of their adventures du-
ring the war, and, as is generally the
case, some pretty hard yarns were told.
The conversation finally turned on pro-
motions, when a tall Teuton brok forth
with: "I'll tell you something about
that, boys. When | joined the cavalry
I hadn't been long in this country, and
didn't understand much English. We
were sent up in the valley, and at the
battle of Winchester we were ordered
to charge battery. Well, the captain
gave the order to charge, and away We
went in fine style. The Johnies opened
on us with grape and canister. Many
horse tumbled over, and plenty Of
saddles were emptiod. That didn't
make any difference; we went straight
ahead. Suddenly the captain gave the
order to retreat. The whole company
turned and went back except me. You
see didn't understand the order, so |
kept on and charged right in among
them; and, by 10, I captured the whole
battery and brought it on myself
Now, I'll tell you how it turned out.
The next day the captain was made a
major, the first lieutenant was made a
captain, and" "We1, what did they
do for you?" inquired a listner. ''Why,
they put me in the guard house because
I wouldn't tell lie."
