tones of that pleading wife and mother
arose ON the blast and were carried TO
every heart within their reach. Pass

whereupon they trod was holy ground.
The ewes of hardened men filled Win
tears, and many turned away, saying
that they could not bear to look on such
a sight. Then the voice OF prayer was
husRed, the women arose, and began to
sing softly sweet hymn-some DID, Ia
miiiar words and tune-such as our mo-
theirs sang to us in childhood's days.
We thought, Can mortal man resist
such efforts The effort upon the spec
tators is indescribable. No sheer is
heard, scarcely light word is spoken.
The spirit of devotion is abroad, and
those who would scorn to pray them
selves, yet feel that here ia something
which they must, at least respect. Many
"God bless them" falls from lips accus-
toned to use the name of Deity only in
blasphemy.

PAVED ROADS AS MORAL AGENCIES

PAVED ROADS AS MORAL AGENCIES
-Parson Lafferty, of the Lexington,
Va, Gazette, discourseth as follows on
the subject OF good roads: ''It seems
difficult to make some understand that
it SAVES money to spend it on roads;
Over paved pike two horses are equal
to four on our mud roads. Every farm
err saves the feed of two horses. Then
time is saved and worry. Who can
''resist the devil when wagon mlres
and there is no one near to help him
out or-hear him cuss? Mentaled roads
are great moral agencies. Paving a
Pike does more good than preaching,
sometimes. Breaking rocks for our
roads will soften more wagoners hearts
than all the pounding Of pulpits for a
year. The McAdamizer is Missionary.

Alaska.

Mr.. Henry Elliot, who went t. Alaska
treasury to look after the Interests of the
government on the islands where the fur
seal i taken, is preparing a report on the
value of the entire territory to the United
States. which Will have the merit of Icing
based upon the extended personal ol,>crv;,-
tionS of the writer Mr. Elliot has spent
and since its purchase. and has probably
seen more of It's rocks and iccbcrg> than
any other American. All the stories of
itS mineral wealth, and of the value of ij>
fisheries, he says, are pure tctlonS 1t
surface is Il mass of ba~;tltic rock, which
rs all geologi>ts know contains no mineral
deposits What little soil there is pro lucc~
little that is useful to nun, and the fish
cries, which were described rs Of immense
value wien the treaty for buving the re
@ion was pending, do not yield fool cnouyh
to supply the natives. The only portion
of the whole vast domain which yields any
revenue to the government, is the fur seal
islands,
This seal trade is in the hand, Of the
Al>aka Commercial Company. whose bus
ness at the Islands i in charge of d.,
Mcintyre, formerly Of Randolph. MIR
Elliot has spent much time Ut tn. islam l.
ana wrote 4 very readable article upon the
seals for u ll,c number Of Uupcr'S Nty L
.it1f. extracts from which or readers W i'll
remember.
From the tax on the skins of the animals
taken on these islands, the Treasury gets
about S}O0,0O annually. Against this
single item of revenue, Mr. Elliot offset,
the cost of maintaining troops in the Ter
ritorv, which amounts to about SjJO, 900 a
year, and the expense oft the civil establish
ment at Stka, and in the seal islands
Without counting Interest on the purchase
money paid Russia, which at six per cent
would amount to Sf20.0 900 a year. the bal
ancc sheet shows 4 heavy deficit. The
United States are therefore paving Il large
sum for the empty honor Of possessing Il
vast, desolate region. which is totally I'M
fit for the home of civilized beings, and

fact that 4 score or more confr leratc Off

In another light the growing forsctful

notice occupy their space in setting forth
the pure spirit and great honesty of those
men who, in the south are so fiequently
attacked by armed bolie, Of negroes
whom they have to rcpulse at the cost Of
great bloodslcd-the bloodshed always be-
longing to the negroes, however; and also
in showi ing the dense ignorance of all col
ored men, and the great dishonesty of all
ex-federal soldiers. southern union whites.
and blacks. One would think that the ne
groe> were ignorant from choice altoceth-
er, and there IS no remembrance Of the
scrvitude which was the occasion of their
ignorance.
The southern people have right not to
I-1r- hnT II
men whom it needed Il war TO free from
their clutches. They have never earned =
right to use violence to rcctifv the bad
workings Of governments the nation was
forced to set up l'y their own folly These
VlckSburg troubles are 4 sample of the
whole. The outrage business is frame
ftrred to the other side. 1t is the whites

elections, always stolen from. ALWAYS
wronged, always in the right in every riot
This palaver is rs pitiable as the worst
lies ever charged TO eager republican pol
iticians of the south. A little recollection
Of who these men are will let in GOOD
dead of light on this new phase of the oat
rage business. The southern rebel, have
not all fitted themselves for the kingdom
Of heaven since they were beaten down in
their rebellion. The relative condition Of
the two races before and during the war
should be 4 subject of meditation with
some Of the young philosophers of the
press, and might serve to prevent the too
sudden apotheo.is of the southern white
and the complete civil elimination of the
negro.

folly or injustice. Too many brave SOL
dicrs live needing help, whose services
are substantially forgotten by the mass OF
the people. Too many brave soldiers die
so needing nothing, it is true, but deserving
much from the people whose country they
helped to save. Sometimes folks guess
the man was in the army and that is the
end of the present generations care for
what he did there.
Bat now and then 4 man dies whose
services. no more faithful than that OF
others, were vet so brilliant that the old
times come back to the mind, and every
body remembers what he did. Such 4
case is that of Lieutenant Commander
William b. Gushing, Of the United States
Navy. who died insane in the Government
Hospital in Washington, last Thursday
This famous officer was only thirly-one
wears of age, having been born in 1872. III
Wisconsin.
He received something of Il naval edu-
cation ut Annapolis, and was commissioned
Il lieutenant July lG, 1862. No year
passed from that time till the close OF the
war in which he did not add to his gallant
deeds, and repeatedly his services called
forth the highest praise from the head of
the naval department. In November
1862, he made Il brilliant fight from Il
steamer that was grounded, and which he
finally left. under the tiercest fire, rather
than be captured.
His most remarkable exploit WAS the
destruction of the rebel ram Albcrmarle
in the Roanoke river. This ram was in
vincible. so far rs regular modes of war
warfare were concerned, and in the fall of
1861, was tower Of strength to the rebel
cause. Cushing formed plan for her
capture: it WAS approved by the depart
mcnt, and in launch he approached the
Albermarc in the night; WAS discovered
by the enemy, pressed on, driving the
launch to her side, and placed the torpedo
under her side. The explosion tore the
Albermarle to pieces. but Cushing and his
companions plunged into the water, ana
swimming to land and hiding in Il swamp.
he escaped.
In November Of last year, he had an
interview with Burriel. the brutal Spaniard
who murdered the Nirginius crew, and
with the old fire in his eye, convinced him
he had better Kill no more men. Cushing :
fame was 4 national one, and the people
give him all that they can now givc-:r
memory rctenti We of his deeds. In degree

! In this connection, we may note that
/ Admiral Wordcn and his Monitor crew are
in Il fair way to receive a liberal compcn-
sation for their destruction of the great
rebel ram, the Mcrrimlc. that 50 Sudlcn-

and which Worlcn in the Monitor a> sud
