Memory.

When we reproduce what we have
seen or otherwise experienced, it must be
with scrupulous fidelity. No details
must be filed in by the imagination. 1t
is one of the most difficult things i'm the
world 20 speak the exaot truth, or even
to represo ut to ourselves the exact truth
II we hear an event frequently related,
we soon begin to confuse it with our own
reoollecuons In this way, honorable
and conscientious persons have testified
to witnessing occurrences which really
took place before they were norm, but
which had been repeated to them in
childhood. The Imagination is an ac-Ive
and deceitful faculty often putting on
the guise Of recollection. Without the
most vigilant care to distinguish the two,
men may come to utter the most absErJ
falsehoods, without any suspicion that
they are not telling the truth Imagina.
ton is but a Encouragement of our ex-
periences, and the faculty of taking note
of this Encouragement gets untrustworthy
without a persistent and conscientious
exercise Of IT, Hence, though, as the
proveFb says, liars have need Of good
memories, they are of all men the least
likely to have them. The best cultiva>
ton Of the memory foTbids US even to
heighten the color of narrative or
sharpen the edge Of a witticism, when
protesting to narratc what has occurred,
but to accept dullness rather than admit
inaccuracy.-CA american Exchange and

4 Boy Burned to Death and Gin
House Destroyed.

On Monday last, about 9 A NJ. most
horrible accident occurred on the farm
of Mr.. Porter Folice, who resides near
Bellville. His son, boy sixteen or
seventeen years old, was in the gin house
ginning cotton. About the time above
mentioned, some one discovered that the
gin house was on fire Before anything
could be done, the building was wrapped
in flames, and every effort to extingui~h
the fire was unaYailing The boy was
missing and it was supposed lie had gone
away for some purpose, when, during
the progress of the fire, his body partly
consumed, was discovered, where it was
impossible to rescue it from the fiery
element The building was entirely des
troyed, and the body with it N reason
can be assigned for the fire, but it is sup
posed that some substance, probably, a
match, in passing through the gin, ignited,
and conveying the fire directly to the lint
room, Immediately set the whole build
ing on fire Altogether, it is q sad affair,

We have heard Of several crops of corn

THE ADNuNIsTRA TIoN DEFEAT IN TIE
HOUSE. Under the date of Jan. Goth,
we find the following Washington dis
patch in some of the papers, headed AS
above:
The Administration suffered another
defeat to day in the House in the May
adjournment resolution. The Presi-
dent has been very anxious about it,
and his views were representented by
Dawes, Butler, and Bingham, while
the Democrats, with Banks, Garfield,
and others, opposed it, and on motion
Of Gen. Famsworth it was sent to the
Ways and Means Committee by a large
majority. There it is likely to remain
till toward May, when, if business is in
good shape, it can be brought out and
passed. During. debate it tran
.pired that Mr.. Dawes expects to cut
short the debate upon the tariff, sup
press the delegation business, and re.
port a bill in March to reduce the tariff
and revenue taxes. He expects to
make total reduction of tariff and
taxes to upward of $15,000,000

Corrupt Practices ExpOscd"---NlOncy
for Connecticut and New hampshire.
Notwithstanding the Senates In
vestigating Committee was appointed
to cover frauds under Grants admins
tration, and to whitewash the plumber
ers, it has been impossible for them to
shut the daylight from great many
monstrous wrongs and vast plumber
ING schemes in the New York Gus
tom-House. Grants favorites sent on
and recommended by him have be
come rich and the matchmaking
system is shown to have been system
atlzed and vast. The machinery of
the Custom-House, the Collector, the
weighers, guagers, and many en-
ployees, have done more work for the
Republican party than for the govern
ment. Sixty thousand dollarsayearhave
been paid to employees who have
done nothing for the government, had
no public duty at all assigned to them,
but who devoted their time in the
interest of the Custom-House wing of
the Republican party. The gross
corruption of the concern has been
exposed to q considerable degree,
Notwithstanding Senator Howe, one
of the Committee, acts as an attorney
would act for the evil-doers. In the
somewhat partial report of this Com
mittee, we have an exposure, to some
degree, Of the corruption funds raised
by the federal Office holders to buy
votes in Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire. The New York Custom. House
ring have sent their corruption funds
into Connecticut for years. Evidence
was brought ont last Spring that the
n. Y. Custom House sent $4,000
here to buy votes for Jewell. "The"
Allen and his gang were also sent to
New Haven to corrupt the election.

Political Paragraphs.

Hon. James p. Barr, editor of the
Pittsburg Post, has been appointed
the member of the National Demo
cratic Committee of Pennsylvania, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. ], E. Hester, late of Lancaster.
The deficiency bill of $4,000,
lately introduced in the House to
remedy the costs of the Ku-klux in
yestigation in South Carolina and
elsewhere, is entirely too modest
Such bill, to be honest and effective,
ought to provide for the lost cotton
crop in nine counties in South Caro-
lima for damages for false imprison-
ment of hundreds of innocent and I'M
offending citizens, and for compensa-
ton for the grief, terror, and dis
organization occasioned to at least one
poor county which was, confessedly
by mistake, embraced in the Presi-
dents proclamation of outlawry. Let
members see to it, and have this bill
properly amended.
james f. Legate, Grants nominee
for Governor of Washington Ter
ritory, is well known in Kansas as a
party pensioner two-penny intriguer,
and dabbler in small puddles of
polite. He was formerly an aspirant
to the Governorship of Arizona, but
failed to obtain the appointment
Senator Pomeroy, for reasons best
known to himself, desired Legate to
be away from Kansas for the present,
and induced Grant to send him to
Washington Territory.
The President has given his check
for $4,000 to balance his little account
which has been standing against him
in the Treasury since he was an army
officer
The conduct of Gen. Grant tow
ard Gen. Hancock is the perfection of
meanness but there is no occasion to
be surprised at it. Where personal
animosities are concerned no other
man can be quite as mean as he.
Ohio papers are disposed to be
snappish over the selection of Phila-
delphia as the place of holding the
Republican National Convention, and
impute unworthy motives to those
who brought it about.

may be blown higher than kite,
Notwithstanding the weight of his
money-bags, if the Democrats do their
whole duty. Is the vote of New
Hampshire to be bought like so much

Straw, who is selected solely for his
enormous wealth and his agreement to
use it in buying up the election, is in
reality deep insult to the people of
that State.
