A widow of seventy years recently
died in Portsmouth, N. H., the truth of
whose life was stranger than many fic-
ton. At the age of eighteen she mar
ried the choice of her heart, young sea
captain, and after brief and happy
honeymoon, he left her for foreign voy-
age. The ship was never heard from,
having doubtless ioundered at sea, and
all on board lost. By her desire she was
buried in her wedding dress, with white
gloves and wedding ring.

ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC STORY
ABOUT AGAsslz. Il was with him once
in the small cabinet of college, which
he was examining with great deal of
interest, and where he was just as modest
as if all the scientific treasures of the
earth were before his eyes, when sin
gularly -formed turtle shell from the Mis-
sissippi was shown him, with a request
that he should name the species to which
it belonged. Taking it into his hand,
with the candor of an unspoiled child
he said al don't know this The con-
fession surprised us, as we knew that the
study of turtles was favorite branch of
investigation with him, and that here he
was profoundly learned. In moment
or two, however, he remarked very quiet
ly: "Ahl | see 4; it is malformation,
which it really was, though it required
vast knowledge of this sort of creatures
to detect the fact. We can imagine how
the commonplace professor, DESTROYS of
keeping up name for knowledge, would
have mana ged to conceal his ignorance.

said Mr. Parker, :" it is very easy to work

snnrreon ON Communion.

Mr.. Sturgeon, the noted English Bap'
list preacher says:
"There is not Christian beneath the
scope of Gods heaven from whom am
separated. At the Lords table | always
invite all Christians TO come and SIT
down with us. If any man were to tell
me that am separated from the Eplseo-
palian, the Presbyterian, or the Metho-
dist, | would tell him he did not know
me, for love them with pure heart
ferventIy, and l am not separated from
them.
"1he pulse Of Christ is communion, J
and woe to the church that seeks to cure
the ills of Christ's church by stopping
it's pulse. / think it is sin to refuse to
commune with any one who is member
of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ
/ should think myself grossly in fault, II
at the foot Of these stairs | should meet
a truly converted child of God, who
called himself Primitive Methodist, or
a Wesleyan, or Churchman or an In
dependant, and | should say, No, sir !;
you do not agree with me on certain
points; | believe you are child of God,
but l will have nothing to do with you.

very hard on me, These are they who
separate themselves, sensual, not having

Most American travellers throw away
much of their reading matter at their

principal station can be found box
fastened up, very similar to our letter
boxes, into which the traveller puts his
papers, books, etc. These are in turn
collected by men who carry them to hos
pitfalls, homes for old men and women,
and similar institutions, where they are

called Kings Chapel. Iu 1856 the or.

At concert the other night, as one of

RELATION OF THE PRESS TO PAR
TIES.

A matter worthy the serious consider
alton of the politician, in regard. to the
recent elections is the fact tn 1t the recent
discontinue of the party in power is
largely attributable to its own press and
the independent press which has grown
out Of the Republican party, and which
has strong sympathies with it. These
napers have been frank and outspoken
in regard to what they deemed wrong in
their organization. They have notshield-
ed their leaders, or covered up their cor
ruptions, but have rather been the most
eager to Law bare the sore places and to
drag the wrong-doers before the public
gaze. The charges upon which nearly
all the Investigations which have proved
so disastrous to the party in power were
instituted, were made by the Republican
and Independent press, and it is signih-
cant of the fact that parties and party
leaders can no longer depend upon their
press to cover up their rascallties or
Shield the guilty from public eondemna-
ton. Party organism, as it used to be
understood,-a blind adherence to the
fortunes of party leaders and an unques-
toned defence Of every party act, upon
the principle Of party right or wrong
| is thing of the past and the great in
dependent press and the party press,
whichis independent ofparty leaders and
party patronage, will, in the future, pro-
tect the people from party excesses and
expose party corruption.
In this new era we do not look for the
long continued leasesof power to parties,
which have been enjoyed in the past by
the Republican and Democratic parties
The party in power will be constantly on
its good behavior with thousandwatch.
| full eyes and eager pens ready to disvovei
official shortcomings and towrite it down
for the public to read. The tenure o.
office will be during virtuOus and hones
administration Of affairs, and parties with
a million of a majority at their back thi:
year will be hurled from their place:
next, ifthey betray the trust reposed in
them.
The press Of the country now occupies
| its proper position. and to Independent
nalism and the Independent party jour
press the country will owe whatvirtue anC
patriotism there is in party politics :

WORK TO BE DONE.


IPou1Akespsie Hegs, Lib.l
But let US be wise. These new votes
which have come to us this once are
neither Democrats nor are they Liberals.
They are men in search Of better things.
They will stay with US so long as we not
only offer, but give them better things.
The future of that party is therefore in
its own hands. II it is wise, it viii surely
take the reins of the Government for un-
numbered years. But it must make no
mistakes. The great constitutional re-
suits of the war must remain untouched,
but, if need be, they must be defended.
Tilden's honesty has defeated Dix. Let
it not be forgotten. We are pledged sa-
credly to honesty and to strict economy,
or our rule is short. Jealous eyes will
watch for every mistake, and for every
tendency. Our party has before it a
grand future, but single false step must
not be made, or we are lost. We now
want statesmen-if they are young men
it will be none the worse.
IN FOR A LONG LEASE
[Swacuse JourRaI-Rep.l
A tremendous victory was achievedby
the Democrats. The banner Of Repub-
licanism, which has been gallantly up
held by firm hands nerved by firm hearts,
went down in defeat. Republican phal-
anxes were overpowered by superior
numbers, and the cohorts Of the Democ-
racy took possession Of the field Drop
ping the language Of metaphor, we are
constrained to say that the Republican
party in this State has been badly beaten.
The Democracy have reason to shout
with Joy, and to fire their loudest guns
they have regained what they lost when
the Tammany Ring was broken up
and their prospects for long lease o
power seem brighter than ever before.
