We have heard Of faithful dogs following the re-
mains of their masters to the cold and silent tomb.
and taking up residence there regardless OF Dones'
and gradually becoming nothing but bones WIN
little skim themselves. This Is very pretty anu
touching in dog, but who would have looked ior
like affection in porker-nOt for master indeed
but for corpse with which the creature was mol in
the least acquaintedf This hog resided in Louis-
Vile. Ky. And as funeral was passing through the
street the hog insisted upon joining the procession
and proceeding with the mourners to the tomb. The
reason for this extraordinary display of sympathy
ia mas. finding out 1t is only certain that this SYM
patbetc runter insisted not only upon going TO tho
grave, but upon getting into it, when he was
seized by his last legs by an athletic mourner and
thus extracted from the sepulcher which did Mt be-
long to him. What with little dogs who insist nPn
going to church, and hogs with passion for attend
ing funerals and being buried zoology is fast De-
coming an exceedingly dstracting study.
Pastors have been dismissed by their reasonable
or unreasonable locks for a variety of causes bus

They do queer things in Louisiana. Some
times they capture custOm-hOuse for the
uses of q State Convention, and station artil-
lery around to make sure that the deliberat-
ing body shall be unanimous. Sometimes they
capture quorum of a State Legislature. and
keep it cruising up and down the river to
dodge officers who want TO order the members
back to their places. Sometimes they rOut a
drunken Judge ont of his bed at midnight, in
order that he may hiccough forth maudlin
order, which shrewder villains can put in
shape for him, to Overturn State Govern
ment. Their last performance is a simpler
one. A police superintendent takes it into
his head to suppress newspaper, and makes
sure of it by having his policemen arrest the
forms and lock them up in solitary confne-
ment. They are brisk people in Louisiana
and noble republican government it is, which
our Administration and Senate have combined
to guarantee them.

The proposal that public documents shall
pass through the mails at the same rates of
postage as newspapers is an improvement on
the fragrant injustice of past suggestions. But
why make fish of one and flesh Of another :?
Why should not the issues of the Government
Printing Office go through the mails on pre-
cisely the same terms as the issues of any
other printing Office ?-if in newspaper form,
at newspaper rates; If in book form,
at book rates. For the rest, MEM
bers who purpose voting for the free
transmission of The Congressional Record may
make up their minds that the people will not
be deceived about it. 1t is revival of an
odious feature of the franking privilege, and
the men who have committed themselves to
the repeal of that privilege, and now restore
it in this sneaking fashion, will find the vote
as bad burr in its sticking powers as vote
for the salary grab.

1t would be pretty hard to justify the Pres-
dents last message; and impossible to con-
vince most people that he was not misled into
it by the persuasiOns of Boss Shepherd, to
save that magnate and his friends from heavy
losses in speculation in District certificates.
But it is to the Presidents credit that, when
better counselors got his ear, he promptly
changed his views and Senator Allison is to
be especially thanked for standing his ground
alike against the Presidents message and the
Ring intrigues. And now, while Gen. Grant
realizes the mortifying blunder into which
Shepherd OF his friends led him, can he not
reach another wise conclusion, and crafty all
his sincere friends by deciding that Mr.. SheD-
herd is not a tit man to be honored with
another Executive appointment in the Gov
ernment of the District

Gov Hawley is not bad man, but his bad
manners have about ruined his chances for
influence or even for much respect in Con-
gress. On Saturday he was replying to terse
and entirely parliamentary argument by
vociferatiDg that it was "ungentlemanly
"and dishonorable" The Centennial bill,
which he had greatly at heart, suffered from
similar eccentricitles of the gentleman in
politics Not long before that, genial Sam
Cox pictured somebody covering before
something and in wild fury Gen.
Hawley demanded TO know whether
the member from New-YOrk meant TO
call him coward. There's q question
for soldier-and a gallant one at that--to
ask, under such circumstances! Said an earn

The ghost Of the Civil Service Commission
still haunts Congress. To quiet its uneasy
shade, there is to be compromise of some
sort, which will leave it nominal existence.
Why not try the Indian Commission plan 1t
is simple, short, and sure. First, require the
members to serve without pay. Next, thwart
them till they cannot do anything, and are
badgered into resigning. Then let the As
sstant Secretary of the Interior reorganize the
Commission to bis liking. If that recipe does
not give satisfactory results, nothing will.

The Hired Girl.

There is one reason why we should re-
gret 20 have the present troubles with
domestic servants ended. 1t Is because
women derive so much pleasure from
discussing the subject Place two wo-
men together, and il makes no difference
where the conversation starts from, it
will be perfectly certain to work around
to che hired girl question before many
minutes have elapsed. We have seen
an elderly housekeeper, with experience
in conducting the talk in the right di-
rectiOn, break into discussion of Pytha-
goras and the doctrine Of the transmi-
grafton of souls, and switch of the en-
tire debate with s0ch expedition that an
unsOphfsticated listener would for some
moments have an iRdistinct impression
that the conversation referred 20 tbs In

For the CITIZEN.

Died.
At his home near LynnYille, Giles
county, Tenn, Brother w. 2. WAC
STAFF, of Typhoid fever, Jan 2Sth, 1874.
He was born Feb. l4th, 1913; aged "a
years, IL months and IA days. The
subject of this notice was immersed on
Lords Day, by Elder Wade Bar
rett, decd, and from the time he ac-
knowiedged in humble submission, the
authority of the Lord, he lived to his
death a faithful Christian life; and the
religion which he believed in his heart
and practiced in his life, gave him peace
and com fort while he lived, and in death
was lamp unto his feet and light I'M
to his path. He was a jealous and iiber-
al member of the Church he never wait
ed or faltered, but fastened to give (and
Influence Others) substantial aid to the
needy and distressed. As a christian his
faith was unwavering, his confidence in
Christ unbOunded, his love for the
Church, and his devotion to its appoint
ments ever supreme in his mind. As a
friend, just, kind and sincere without
discrimination. He filled all the rela-
tions of husband, father, brother, friend
and neighbOr as a good and honorable
man. He leaves a sorrowing Christian
wife, one little daughter an a large cir
loss; but grieYe not as those without
hope. Nay in the pure and holy life,
and triumphant death of her husband,
our sister has the assurance that though
his earthly star has set, it will rise again
in eternal beauty over tue hills of the
heavenly land.
Our dear friend and brother,
Through many nights of wasting pain
That Slapped his strength, scorched his
brain,
Through days whose hot breath burned
his cheek,
The beating heart grew tired and weak.
Until at last Life's crimson tide
Had ceased to flow he calmly died.
Died with firm, abiding trust
That though the mortal sleep in dust,
The soul shall find glorious home
Beyond the darkness of the tomb.
Though loving tears believed the sod,
We know that he doth walk with God.'
God grant that the lives of us that
knew, loved and appreciated him may
be chastened, purified, strengthened and
enriched by this great bereavement,
and may we take up the BURDEN Of life
and get to our work with a new direc-
ton, and the JUNCTION of a new power.
There is a vacant place in the Church,
in the office he so long and meekly
ntled, Deacon IN the Christian CnuTcn.
The sisters sorely feel the absence of the
hand and tender heart that ever bore to
them the rich memorial of their risen
Savior's love; but, as Christians, they
must in humble resignation say, SO
Lord, thy will be done.
@'Ere the silver cord be lOosed or the
golden bowl be broken" let us fear
God and keep his commandments,
that we may like our departed friend, be
ever ready to meet Heavens angelic
messenger in peace, sent in love 10 take
its Jewels home. We feel one of our
brightest gems has been severed from
our earthly chain of love and fellow
ship, s,but with a hope that reacheth
within the vail'' that VIC all shall be
united again, Gin heaven above, where
all is love-"

Delaney. alias wins.on. alIas


The accomplished forger, who, not
withstanding his numerous aliases, and
his shrewd lodges, was detected and
prosecuted by Capt. Ballentfne, Presi-
dent Of the National Bank Of Pulaski
last year, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, has just entered upon his term Of
six years imprisonment, under a deeis-
ion Of the Supreme Court, to which he
took an appeal. The Banner says:
The ease of E. f. Delaney, alias j. s.
Winston, alias Eugene FOntaine, having
become confirmed by the Supreme
Court, he was imprisoned yesterday for
a term of six years for larceny. He
was convicted in Giles county. He is a
man of fine physique, and wears long
hair. As many of the prisoners who
had entered the prison before him had
attacks of neuralgia from having their
heads shaven, and the practice there
fore abandoned, his locks were spared
and he was not so much Inundated as
he might have been, for he took great
pride in his hair. He says that on ac-
count of his high connections in Ken
tuckv he has refused to give his real
name, as they would feel greatly cha
grined at his wearing the stripes. He
believes shat at some future day he win
be able TO bring such official influences
from Kentucky to bear as may result in
his pardon. Since his Incarceration in
jail he has kept up a regular correspond
ence with a silly school girl in Virginia,
who appears to have become so deeply
smitten with him as to make a pledge
that she viii never cease to love him
and viii wait until he shall get out Of
prison TO marry him.

Major sykes Speech.

A pamphlet copy of the speech of
Maj. w. J. Sykes at LawFenceburg on
Nov. Both, last, is a very able exposi-
ton of the value of railroads to ceun-
try, but more especially in this portion
of our country. 1t contains facts, fig
ures and arguments, showing the neces-
sity of railroads to Lawrence and
Wayne counties, which are thoroughly
convincing. The speech is of great
Importance TO the people OF Giles also,
the great benefits aecruing to Lawrence
and Wayne being shared with her to an
unlimited extent. Not an undressing
part of this speech is in the induce
ments it conveys to immigrants by
setting forth the unworked resources
of the counties through which the NJ.
s. X. r. r. viii run. We commend
the speech to our people.
