The Hartford Times, one Of the leading
Democratic journals Of Connecticut, has
never been. enthusiastically inclined to
ward Greeley. In view Of the rising
indications from every quarter, the
Times of June %, under the heading
oFalling into line" says:
"One by one the Democratic journals
which have stood out against the idea OF
taking I'D the Cincinnati ticket are admon-
isbed by the rising tide to fall into line and
move on. The procession has started. 1t
is a strange spectacle, in which we are all
actors without the wish to take the parts al
Iogtsd to us, yet powerless to resist the
mysterious but mighty influence which or
ders these changing scenes upon the stage.
An things, good and bad alike, seem in this
matter to work to common
end. Even the devices intended to
avert it, somehow so shape themselves as
TO aid it. We are all going for Greeley IN
snita of ourselves. As, one after another,
the Democracy of the several States wheel
into line. the most inVeteTate skeptics and
hang backs begin to rub their eyes and to
make haste to get into the advancing char
lot. to avoid going under tee wheels. Op-
position only accelerates this unaccounta-
ble progress. 1t is all very strange.
"There is to be change. Next Novem-

military government. There is to be

THE PEABODY FUND.

BOSTON, June 27.-The Trustees Of the
Peabody fund assembled to-day, when the
General Agent, Rev. Barnes Sears, pre-
sented his annual report, in which he says:
The general aspect in education in the
South has undergone no material change.
During the year great progress has been
made in the public mind, but various causes
have been in operation in several States to
hinder corresp p0nding action.
In regard to aid rendered, DR.. Sears sta
ted that donations were not made to col
leges, academies or any private sectarian or
charity schools; for well regulated public
schools continue ab Jut ten months of the
year, and having regular attendance of not
less than a hundred pupils, averaging s. per
cent, we pay $500; $50 pupils, averaging s.

aging IS per cent, we pay 5000; 800 pupils,
averaging 50 per cent, we pay $1,000; fol-
colored schools twO-thirds of the above
named rates are paid,
The total amount appropriated since last

liz April, 1871, Judge Settle, who was
President Of the Philadelphia Convention
which nominated Grant for reelection, was
appointed by Grant minister plenipotentia-
ry and envoy extraordinary to the republic
of Peru. As is the rule in such cases, the
new minister drew one years salary, $lO,-
600, in advance, and proceeded forthwith
TO his home in North Carolina. BE re-
malued there until April, ISi5'2, when he re-
signed, but did not return the $4,000. He
had pocketed that nice little sum of the
peoples money without giving an equiva-

and this act was convincing proof that he
was entirely competent to belong to the
Presidents political family.

DEAD AND ALIVE.
Sixty.twO Days Of Suspended AMI


From the st. Louis Times, june q.
We obtained yesterday, from reliable
source, the following facts respecting
very remarkable and recent occurrence in
Florrissant: One evening about two and
one-half months since, a strong and healthy
Young mau named William Mattingby re-
turned to his home from days work, COM
planning of not feeling well. Before morning
he became seriously i'll, and when medical
help was called in the disease was pro.
nounced spotted fever, or -cerebro-spinal
meningitis. Within forty-eight hours after
the first severe attack the patient relapsed
into a. comatose state, and was thought by
his fri ends to be dead. The barber was
summoned from the village to shave the
corpse and to assist in properly preparing it
for burial. Upon commencing his work he
was astonished to find the flesh soft and
elastic. He called the attention Of Others to
this unusual circumstance, and it was deter
mined to make closer examination. As
the result of their experiment they came to
the conclusion that their friend was still
alive. RestoratiYes were procured and
speedily administered. Although conscious
ness never returned, yet the man was kept
alive for sixty-two days, stimulants and
nourishment having been introduced into
his system by artificial means. 1t is be-
lieved that all of these statements can be
fully substantiated. -

The Husband.

Ladies sometimes do not value their
husbands as they ought. They not un:
frequently learn the value of a good
husband for the first time by the loss
of him. Yet tho husband is the very
rooftree Of tic house, the corner stone
Of the edi6ce, the keystone Of the arch
called home. He is the bread.winner
Of tho family, the defence, and its glo.
ry, tho beginning and tho ending Of tho
golden chain Of life which surrounds
it, its CONSIDER, its lawgiver aud its king.
And yet We see how frail that life is on
which SO much depends! How fra,l is
the life of husband and father When
he is taken away who will FIJI his place
When he is i'll, what gloomy clouds
hover over the house! When he is
dead, what darkness, weeping, agony !!
Then poverty, like the murderous as
sassin, breaks in at the windows star
walton, like a famiehing wolf, howls ut
the door. Widowhood is too often an
associate of sackcloth and ashes. Or
phanhood, too, means desolation and
woe.
