Grace Greenwood has been lecturing in Cali
fornia on Heroism in Common Life. One anec-
dote related by her suggests some curious no.
tons of the methods of Indian warfare. A wife
was alone with her little children on remote
rancho in Arizona, when it was attacked by
Apaehes. Daring to save her children, she
seized rife, killed half dozen of the sayages,
and tween shots wrote and sent by her little
boy The following note to her husband:
"DEAR JOHN: The Apaches are attacking
the ianche; am fighting them off, you need
not come yourself, but only send some ammuni-
ton
The sequel of the story is not told; but we
must conclude tina: the boy carried the note
safely and that timely relief came to the be-
ieaguered garrison, since otherwise we should not
have had the anecdote, even in this imperfect
form. Ofthis spirited sketch the details, il must
be conf ssed, are little vague. Tocompete the
picture we must imagine the husband at work
in the lot, mile or 80 away, with his trousers
pockets full of powder and ball. wondering, as
he hears the shots, whether it is worth while to
go home and see what they mean. The noble
rid men, meanwhile. having announced their
themselves so as to give a sure mark 10 the in
n, pd woman, in whose skill with the rife they
may be excused for having little confidence, and
as her shots take effect, they fall with appropri-
gestures. When she stops firing, having ex-
hausted her ammunition, they CONSIDERABLY re-
tire, while she dispatches her note and melts up
her teaspoons for bullets. nicely modulated
yell irighlens the little boy just enough TO add
speed TO his footsteps and not until he
returns with his load is the courteous combat
renewed. 1t ends, of course, with the death of
the Apache CHIEF, and the sad retreat of his few
surviving followers. In giving to this pleasing
story The title OF "Heroism in Common Life"
Mrs. Lippincott seems not 10 use language with
her customary precision. Theincident described
may be common enough TO these untuiored sons
Of the forest. or rather Of the prairie; but to us

license, be called heroism, would be better de.

when the days toll is over, for the neglect of
early schooling" In a word; the Astor library
is mainly intended fer the few, the Cooper insti-
tute for the many. While both are so noble in
design, it would be invidious to attempt TO say
which is the nobler. Both are good, and per-
haps it would not be possible to combine in
one institution the special good features
of each. Astor's good work was post
humous. He never saw, perhaps he never
cared to see, the good which he had done.
Cooper, Of a more loving temper, chose to do his
work himself He has this one great reward
that there is, believe, in New York no one man
50 thoroughly loved as Peter Cooper When he
passes from us, toere will be such an ovation as
no living man has seen. 1t is quite well under
stood that after having made just and honorable
provision for those belonging to him, the re-
mainder of the acct mutations of long and sue
cessful life have been given away. When Peter
Cooper dies, he will not die rich man, saving
only in the love of his fellow citizens.
Foremost among the names of those who ap.
pear in the records Of the Cooper institute is that
of Abram Hewitt, son-in-law and business part
ner of Peter Cooper. So thoroughly has Mr..
Hewitt entered into and carried out the
benefcent designs of Mr. Cooper, that
paragraph concerning him cannot be out of place.
Some thirty years ago Abram Hewitt, very
young man, was teacher in the Grammar school
of Columbia college, Having saved few hum
bred dollars, he resolved 10 make a trip to Eu-
rope On board the vessel was another passen-
ger, a young man in feeble health. This Young
man was son of Peter Cooper. They became
intimate, the strong Hewitt being able TO bestow
a thousand kindnesses upon his feebler compan-
ion. Cooper, in writing home, was warm in
eulogy of his new friend; and when at length
Hewitt retu ned, Peter Cooper asked Hewitt to
give up teaching and take place in his count
ing room. The young teacher soon manifested
rare capacity for business. In a brief time he
became confidential clerk, then son-in-law and
partner in business with Peter Cooper. So fully
has he become Identified with the great work of
Cooper, that it is but right that his name should
be to all ages associated with that of the founder
of the noble Cooper institute.
My letter has so extended itself that | must
reserve for another time what | had to say of
Alexander I. Stewart and James Lennox, whose
proposed benelactIons to our city will give them
good right to rank with Astor and Cooper.

SATURDAY. JANUARY 10. 1879.

Mr.. Conkling's speech in the senate, Thurs
day, appears to have been one of that gentle
mans most characteristic efforts. reporter
says its chief popularity and main substance
was seen in "the bitter, sarcastic, and malig-
nantly abusive manner in which he referred to
Senator Sumner, charging upon him dishonest
snd base motives" 1t is hardly possible for
Mr.. Conkling TO make speech 10 which the
spirit and quality of the man here indicated do
not get full expression. By temperament and
long standing habit, Roscoe Conkling is newt
ably quarrelsome and malignant He is withal
an eeotst of the most offensive kind, although
he has never in his life done anything which can
be mentioned as excuse for putting on egotist-
ical airs. he is known only as New York
politician who has not scrupled to use any agen.
cies in his power to divide the republican party
of New York into fighting factions; and he has
not sufficient elevation of mind and character to
refrain from carrying this fight of factions into
the United States senate. Think for a moment
of Roscoe Conkling accusing Charles Sumner of
dishonesty and basenessl A dog baying at the
moon is no match for this. At the same time,
this Conkling disturbs and disgusts supporters
of the administration by constantly assuming
TO be the special champion of the president. 1t
would be an important gain to the adminstra-
ton, if the president could drive, or, in some
way, induce this malignant leader of the New
York faction to become an "anti-Grant man."

That was a strange scene in Washington, yes.
terday, when Mrs. Hooker, at the head of a
brawling mob, clamored at the doors of senate
committee room, engaged in au angry alierca-
tion with Senator Trumbull and, when that SEN
ator retired without promising TO yield 10 her
arrogant demands, entertained the crowd with
vulgar suggestions about his personal habits.
Such conduci was to be expected from Mrs
Stanton and Miss Anthony. With some excel
lent qualities, they have long ago ceased to pay
any regard TO what most men as well as women
consider the prophecies Of speech and behavior;
but we have tried TO retain our belief that
Mrs. Hooker had too much good sense and

such moderate numbers as a committee room
could hold, but a crowd sufficient to OIL a large
