The Long Branch COttage--A GIFT
go Grant After he was President.

It is now fortnight since Mr.. A T.
Stewart stated, for publication, that a
subscription paper for funds to buy q
Long Branch cottage to be presented to
the President was presented to him
{ Mr.. Stewart) for a subscription of FIVE
thousand dollars to complete the list
"On the paper" says Mr.. Stewart, 'were
the names of Thomas Murphy, John
Hoey, George W. Childs, Adolph Borie,
and three or four more, for five thous-
and dollars each"
This statement, made in such detail
by such witness as Mr.. Stewart, would
have been Immediately contradicted by
every office holder, and by each and all
Of the persons mentioned as subscribers,
if it had not been perfectly accurate.
1t is proved, then, and admitted that
the cottage at Long Branch now inhab-
! tied by President Grant was presented
to him, in the fall of 1869, some eight
months after he became President Mr..
Murphy, one of the donors, was ap.
pointed Collector of New York a few
months subsequently.

rules and passing the bill Ta=' a-.6

Awife,s Power,

The power of wife, for good or
evil, is irresistible. Without one, home
must be forever unknown.
A good wife to q man is wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one is con.
fusion, weakness and despair. No con-
dition is hopeless to q man where the
wife possesses frmness, decision and
economy. There is no outward propri.
ETY. which can couteract Incidence, ex,
trapagance and folly at home. No spirit
can long endure had influence. Man is
strong, but his heart is rot adamnant.--
He delights in enterprise and action, but
to sustain him he needs tranquil mind
and especially if he is an intelligent
man, with q whole head, he needs his
moral forces in the conflicts of life. To
recover his composure, home must be a
place of peace and comfort7 There bis
soul renews its strength, and goes fortt
with fresh vigor to encounter the, labor
and troubles of life But il at home b.
finds no rest, and is there s,et with bad
temper, sullenness, jealousy and gloom
or assailed with complaints and censure
hope vanishes, and he sinks into des
pair. Such is the case with top many
who, it might seem, have no conflict:
or trials of life; for such is the wifs's
lpower.

1t is often question among people
who are unacquainted with the anatomy
and physiology of men, whether lying
with head exalted or on a level with the
body, is the most unwholesome. Most,
consulting their own ease on this point,
argue in favor of that which they prefer.
Now, although many delight in bolster,
ing up their heads at night. and sleep
soundly without injury, vet we declare
it to be dangerous habit. The yes
sells in which the blood passes from the
heart to the head are always lessened
in their cavities when the head is rest
ing in bed higher than the body; there
fore, in all diseases attended with fever,
the head should be pretty nearly on q
level with the body; and people ought
to accustom themselves to sleep thus
and avoid danger ~

Home EDUCATION.

We should not hesitate to attribute
greater Importance to home education
than to school education; for it is be.
meath the parental roof, when the heart
is young, and melted by the warnth OF
tireside affection, that the deepest i'm
pressions are made; it is at home, be
meath parental influence and example,
that the foundations of physical, moral
and mental habits are laid; it is at home
where lasting opinions are founded -
School instruction can never supercedt
the necessity of vigiiant parental lead
ing and training at the firesde.

AMNEsTY!

In Congress, on the 10th day of April,
1871, Mr.. Hale moved suspension of
the rules to pass bill for the removal
of legal aud political disabilities impos
ed under the third section of the four
teenth article of amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States. The ex-
ceptions were: Members of Congress,
officers of the army and navy, and mem.
bers of State Conventions which adopt.
ed ordinances of secession.
Mr.. Sprague, the Radical candidate
for Congress in this District,voted against
suspending the rules, but they were sus-
pended, and the bill passed by l34 yeas
Ito 46 nays, Notwithstanding Mr..
Sprague's opposition. Let our readers
remember that Mr.. Sprague opposed
Amnesty, by his vote, after the war had
been over six years.
That's part of, Mr.. Sprague's record
indorsed by the Radical Congressional
Convention that assembled at Marietta

birth to two pairs of twins, and now
eight more, making twelve children in

Broken on The VThees--Fearful
Sentence OF Two MAurdererS.

A fearful sentence WAS carried out
last month, ,unGer the majesty of the
law Of Servfa, which makes the execu-
tons that elsewhere we are accustomed
to hear and read about seem mild and
mcraliu measures in comparison As
far back as April, the house of q re-
spected farmer in that province WAS
found broken into, and the proprietor
with his wife and children all brutally
murdered. The authorities set to work
at once to trace the guilty authors of
the outrage, and found two men in q
forest some four miles away, Sebastulos
AleXiary, non-commissioned officer in
the Snltan's army, and Moses Werth-
stein$ an Austrian Jew, who had some
of the farmers money about them, and
were in other respects suspicious. They
disclaimed any knowledge Of the affair,
but fifty lashes upon their bare backs
soon extorted confession from the
Jew Of all the hideous details, though
nothing could unseal the lips Of his &C
complice. The evidence was, ample
ana oVerWnelmlng, ana to the loudly
expressed satisfaction Of the multitude
they were sentenced to be broken on
the wheel, punishment nowhere prac-
ticed except in Servia The jew tore
his hair and cried for mercy, but his
companion was immovable. On the
day of the execution a vast throng as
semhled to see the punishment carried
out Alexiary was first stripped and
bound to st. Andrews cross. while the
executioner raised his iron club and
crushed his right shoulder. A shrek
Of agony followed and another, as his
knee pans were struck, after which he
was unconscious. The Jew did not die
SO easily, but lived for five minutes as
his bones were crushed one by one, and
only by three strokes on the abdomen
did he cease his cries, and satisfy the
cruel rioor of the Seryian law.

Horace Greeley,

We commend those gentlemen. who
think that Greeley is vascilating old
man to be bent by every breath of opin-
ion, the following rather vigorous letter
addressed by the Old Philosopher to
the New York Union League Club, Of
which he was member, which under
took to arraign him from going upon
jeff Davis bail bond The Club cited
him to appear before it for trial, and this
was his response:
"Gentlemen / shall not attend your
meeting this evening. / have an en-
gagement out of town and shall keep it.
i do not recognize you as capable of
judging or even fully apprehending me.
You evidently regard me as a weak sen.
timentalist, misled by q msudlin phil
.osophy. l arraign you as narrow min
ded blnckheads, who would like to be
useful to great and good cause, but
don't know how. Your attempt to base
great, enduring party on. the hate and
wrath necessarily engendered by a
bloody civil war, is as though you
should plant a colony on the iceberg
which had somehow drifted into trop-
ical ocean. tell you here, that, out of
life earnestly devoted to the good of
human kind, your children will select
my going to Richmond ard signing that
bail bond az the wisest act, and will feel
that it did more for freedom and hu-
manity than all of you we're competent
to do, though you had lived to the age
of Methuselah Understand,
once for all, that dare you and defy
you, and that ! propose to fight it out
on the line that l have held from the
day Of Lees surrender. So long as any
man was seeking to overthrow cur Gov
ernment, he was my enemy from the
hour in which he laid down his arms, he
was my formerly erring countryman.-
So long as any man is at heart opposed
to the. National unity, the Federal au-
thority, or to that assertion of equal
rights of all men which has become

HThere is capital story of two
eminent physicians who, in the reign of
George l. cured or killed on rival and
opposite theories Of medicine, and whose
hostility ended in challenge and a duel
with small swords. Dr. Woodward, as
we remember the story, disarmed and
overturned his opponent, and with the
point of his weapon directed against the
throat Of his antagonist, thundered out,
"Now you scoundrel, beg your life "
The heroic reply of the PROSTATE doctor
always impressed us an instance of irony
carried up to the sublime. BEG my
life" he gasped; Il wouldn't do it even
if I had the misfortune to be your pa
tient." .-'
