The Profit OF Good Work.

A GENTLEMAN at summer retreat in
New Hampshire, some seasons since,
CHANGED to need a slight repair of a har-
ness. 1t was so neatly and promptly
done that he was led to Hinvestigate" the
shop; and the consequence was that he
has already ordered, for self and friends,
fifteen harnesses from that establishment
over the borders of the Granite State.
The proprietor or his men probably did
not dream that the fastening of single
buckle was so much of an investment
and an invitation to quite lot of new
customers. But skill and honesty proved
generally will; for the mechanic who
conseientiously always does his level best
and takes care not to shirk even trifiing
Jobs, may be pretty sure that his employ
ers will remember him and call again.
Moreover, here is an instance OF the truth
that-without any pun-faithful sowing
results in an unexpected haryest.-Boston

Spelling.

SPELLING, says Hdrper's Weekly, is usu-
ally regarded by young folks as an un-
pleasant school task and perfect spell
er, among either young or old, is rare
personaee. This important part of edu-
cation NAV easily be turned into sort OF
recreative amusement by little ingenui-
ty. which will awaken healthful ambi-
ton concerning it. We know families
where a sort of frolic is carried on for
while in the evening by the propounding
of hard words to spell. EVERYBODY gives
out" words, and the children feel that
tkev are not ounces themselves when they
find their parents sometimes fail to be
correct The dictionary is at hand for
consultation, and the comparative merits
of Webster and Worcester discussed, and
the various authorized spellings OF sundry
words explained. A list of words which
has afforded considerable amusement III
one family is one which was given out at
n session of the Orange County New
York. Teachers Institute, not many
months ago, and which had been preyl-
| ously used in institutes in this State. Al
the Orange County meeting fifty words
were given to ninety-four teachers, WIN
the request that they should write them
| out on paper. 1t is stated that IN the
ninety.four papers examined there were
aces mistakes-not one having succeeq9u
! in spelling every word correctly, we
rive the list for the amusement and i'm
6royement of the young folks, adding,
moreover, that although it has been
printed in several newspapers, we have
not been able to find all the words cor

''hard words:

a CHANGE OF BASE,

T We are clad to see that the Nashville
Banner abandons its proposition that the
late unfortunate strife was, In the South, .
politicians war" 1t now quotes approving
the Nashville speech Of Hon. Car. SchurZ,
in which be said: at was the contest be-
tween two antagonistic organizations of So
cety, the one represented by slavery, the
other by free labor" and that he would not
cake the pains to disprove, that mere po-
litical intrigue was not at the bottom OF the
quarrel." He evidently regarded the Ban
mer's recent argument as not worthy ct
serious consideration. So far so good; and
we congratulate our contemporary fol-
learning wisdom at the feet of the great
German. But when it quotes further, from
the same speech, that the Southern cause
failed because cit was the rich mans wal
and the poor mans fight" We must demur
We car pass ove- misapprehens;on like
this on the part Of well intending
stranger, who could not be fully cognizan'
OF the facts in the case. But the Banner
who claims to have been there, ought Il
know better. If it was war Of the rict
men and the poor men, rich men sent thai
sons into the foremost of the fray. 1t i
notorious that such an aggregate OF wealth
education and social status was never az
Generated in airy armies since the cru
sades, as in those marshalled by Lee anC
johnson and Beauregard. Neither rich no
poor hesitated to put their own fesi
and blood in the fight as well as their pro
perry. There was hardly ''first family
of any State unrepresented in the ranks BY
several members. The Banner ought t.
know all this. The Southern armies EN-
braced the best blood and brain Of the
land. Better close that bloody chssm fO
ave, il you cannot make political capita
out of it without torturing notorious fact
and maligning our people, as has been tn
Radical pi actice, now happily growing OBJ
solete and Intellectual.

THEnFFERENCE.

Mr.. Henry Reed, of the Washington Cap
ital. upon whom Judge Dent, brother-in-
law of the President, made brutal assault
a few days ago, says in regard to the fine
imposed upon Dent
al have no doubt that the fine Of one
hundred dollars was settled upon between
the culprit and the court to belittle, and
vet, out of pretended Difference to the ma
jesty of the law, not too greatly belittle the
offense-"
The Washington Patriot says this fine Of
one hundred dollars imposed upon Judge
Dent for his savage attack upon Mr.. Reed,
of the Capital newspaper, recalls the cir
cumstances Of case which occurred three
or four years ago, wherein Mr.. William
81. Dempsey, a Washington merchant,
inflicted a eowhiding upon Samuel A.
Duncan, then in the the Patent Office, for
defamation of character. There was nothing
eowardly 10 the manner In which this was
done. Duncan, at the time, was not seat
ed, Gas was Mr.. Reed when Dent attacked
him. but was standing up in the hall
among his friends and had his arms free.
Mr.. Dempsey Immediately went before g
Justice, plead guilty, and paid his fine. BE
was Democrat, and Duncan was a Radi-
cal, and subsequently indicted and tried
before Judge Fisher, he was sentenced to
pay $500 fine and to confinement in the
city jail for sixty days. President johnson
Immediately pardoned him after being in
jail few hours; bat he did not remit the
fine. This simple statement Of facts con-
veys Its own moral, and readers will readi.
IL notice the disproportion Of the legal pen
atty indicted upon Mr.. Dempsey, Demo
crat, and Judge Dent, Radical, the two
aggressors In the respective instances Of as.
sault.

DENTS OPERATIONS.

The New York Sun is the paper in which
the charge originally appeared that Judge
Dent had accepted bride to secure an ap-
pointment from his brother-in-lsw, the
President. The Sun now says:
"For $4,000 in hand paid, Dent under
took TO secure from his brother-in-lsw, the
President, and did secure the appointment
of one w. d. Farrand TO be Consul at Cal
lao. For publishing this case from the
columns OF The Sun, the editor OF the
Washington Capital was brutally assaulted
with 8 bladgeon by this same Dent, for
which exhibition he was arrested and nned
500 by a police magistrate. This has LED
to some investigation Of his past record,
and will serve to show what precious set
of scoundrels the country viii retain IN
prominent and influential positions by the
reelection of Grant"
But the Sun is not content with This
charge. 1t reproduces the following letter
addressed to a gentleman of Mississippi
while Dent was a candidate for Governor
of that State In opposition to Alcorn:

Frederick Rassaurek, editor Of the Cin-
cinnati VoLkSbldtt, the leading German
paper of Ohio, went into the reform move
ment last Spring with Stanley Mathews
and Judge Stallo, but like them was DIS
satisfied with the nomination Of Greeley at
Cincinnati, and until recently refused TO
support him. The pressure Of German
septiment IN the West has been so strong
upon him that he has at last yielded to 1t
aud made his first speech for Greeiey
at Avondale, o., Sept. 16. This is an
indication that the German vote In Ohio
will be almost solid for Greeley and Brown.
