GENERAL HALL At TIA H.

A republican meeting was held at Waltham,
Mass in the Fifth Congressional district, last
Saturday. Hon. Charles w. Slack first ad-
dressed the meeting but was interrupted by
eers, Kisses and other disturbance by dis.
orderly crowd of Banks men. After Mr..
Slack General Hall took the stand. The fol-
lowing from the Boston Globe relates the
manner in which he succeeded:
General James A. Hall OF Maine was the
next speaker, and his mastery Of the turbulent
audience was complete and astonishing. He
had seen noisy demonstrations before, he said
he had lodged junk bottles and rotten eggs,
but never in his experience had he witnessed
such disgraceful proceedings. 1t would be
lasting dishonor to the town. Where did this
motley assembsge come from, the Feejee
Islands or from Patagonia? To what species
of the animal kingdom did they belong, to
come here and hiss like serpents and bray like
asses2 II any man wished TO insult him let
him step to the platform and do i: openly, for
he would submit to no such treatment as was
inflicted upon the previous speaker. This re-
mark OF the General was applauded. There
was something in his determined manner and
spunk which pleased the crowd, and he thus
secured their respect and attention during the
remainder of his address, which occupied
about half an hour in its delivery. The Gen
eral aludedH to the trouble in the South,
maintaining that the oulrages were as bad as
represented, the statements of the New York
Tribune correspondent to the contrary not
withstanding. While that man was writing
his dispatches proclaiming order and quiet in
the South, people were being murdered at
their own doors. Said he, if a republic means
anything, it means that the people shall be
diers in the war of the rebellion. Did you
ever see black man fighting against you,
but were not 200, 900 negroes found willing to
fight for you? This republic will never sue
coed if it turns its back upon the black man.
All these people who were in the rebel army
and every unrepentant rebel is shouting tor
the defeat of Mr.. Gooch in the Fifth Massa-
chusetts District. Banks belongs to the dem
ocratic party. Said he: ''If General Banks
is a true man, and believe him to be one,
then he must act with the party which elects
him, and that is the democratic party" APP
plause and cheers for Banks. "Then you
want him to vote with the democratic party?"
[Cries of yes Yes "Then," said he, turn
ing to the reporters, "put that down. that
they expect General Banks to act with the
democratic party" In closing his remarks
the General said that he had forgiven the au
dience for the noisy demonstration during the
first of the evening, and returned his thanks
for the close attention which had been given
him On sitting down he was warmly con-
graduated for his success in quelling the dis
turbance and lis excellent speech.

what was dome I'm Six DAYS.

A widow sat In her solitude one
stormy winter evening, thinking over
her happy youth and her present DESC
lation. The father and mother who
had SO tenderly cherished her we're
sleeping in the grave; the competence
they had left her had vanished like
vapor In unfortunable investment;
and after that had fallen the heaviest
stroke of all, her husband, q brave
and noble.hearted sea captain, had
died in foreign land, and left her
with an embarrassed homestead, and
two little boys to feed, and clothe, and
educate, with her own weak hands.
Tears fell on the white hands that
lay folded so helplessly on her lap, IS
she thought of her early friends with
whom she had played in childhood.
They were prosperous and happy.
Three Of them lived beside her; and
the contrast between their lot and her
own made hers appeared still darker.
She began to imagine that she was for
gotten or sighted by them. and per-
haps forsaken by God also. She did
not know that the blue eyes of one
friend were often red with tears for her;
or that other eyes with yet stronger
sympathy, were kept wakeful the long
night with plans for her; and that her
third friend was pleading, with care
less, money-loving husband, day and
night, not to foreclose the mortgage on
her home. She saw the clouds that
gathered about her prospects but she
did not see the sunbeam that was al
most ready to dlspel them.
The twilight grew deeper and the
north wind moaned more wildly with.
out, when suddenly the door burst open
and her boys rushed In, from the pond
where big boys had been teaching them
to skate.

Altogether too much indifference ex-
lists to the rights of the aborigines in all
departments, the judiciary not excep-
ted. a late case in Minnesota, involv-
ing most important principles, we
are told on good authority, was decid-
ed by Justice Miller, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, without ex-
animation, the judge feeling indisposed
to that labor this warm weather, and the
practical question being involved hav-
ing reference only to the right of Ger
tain persons to sell liquor near certain
reservation that had been protected by
treaty with the Indians from this des-
troying evil. The justice reserved to
himself the right to examine the case,
and pronounce the opposite opinion on
the Supreme bench should examination
lead him so to do on the appeal
of the case. He decided against
the protection of the Indians from this
abomination rather than the other way,
because only so was an appeal to the
Supreme Court possible. Lo | the poor
Indian.
We understand that no appeal will be
taken, it is so costly and perplexing,
and so the stupendous question involv-
ing this very treaty-making power with
the Indians remains unsettled, and this
Judgment is horrid and binding pre-
dent for all the wants of the State,
while rum Is free to work the ruin of
these Indians, as it has done that of
thousands of others. We are sorry that
Justice Miller lost so signal an oppor.
tunity to immortalize his name by pro-
claiming grand legal truths and princi-
pies, and at the same time protect the
poor Indian. God lives and reigns, and

SC mething may doubtless be done by
study and by taking thought to check
bad habits and correct the result OF nm
fortunate associations. The mistake
most commonly made in the use of these
words, and the one therefore most care
fully to be avoided, is the use OF will
for shall and of the corresponding would
for should. Shall is much less often
used for will And yet in the word
shillys' ally, which is upon everybody's
lip, is petrified the rule and the exam
pie in regard to shall and will. Shllly-

Who as they also sometimes say, doesn't
know his own mind about her-mental

highest respect. Now no one would
say that n man stood asking himself,

sentially the mistake most frequently
made in regard to the nse of these
words in conversation. We hear peo-

these cases being generally OF what
some people humorously cali the Hiber-
nian persuasion-an' expression, by the
way, for which there is no authority
of very respectable standing and an
tiquity. Among people of Anglo-Saxon
race and of average education the mis-
take, when made, most commonly takes
