GENERAL JACKSON.
The affection his soldiers bore him has al
WAYS been an enigma He was stern and
hard as disciplinarian, cold in his manner,
unprepossessing in appearance, and utterly
lacking in the apparent enthusiasm which ex-
cites enthusiasm in Others. He had never
been able to win the affection of the cadets, at
Lexington, and had hardly won even their re-
spect. And yet his soldiers almost worshipped
him. Perhaps it was because he was so terri
bly, in earnest, orit may have been because he
was 80 generally successful-for there are few
things men admire more than success-but
whatever the cause was, no fact could be more
evident than that Stonewall jackson was the
most enthusiastically loved man, except Lee,
in the Confederate service, and that he shared
with Lee the generous admiration even of his
foes. His strong religious bent, his devotion
to form of religion the most gloomy-for his
Calvinism amounted to very little less than
fatalism, and his men called him "old blue
light strictness of life, and his utter lack
of vivacity and humor, would have been an
impossible barrier between any other man and
such troops as he commanded. He was Crom-
we'll at the head of an army composed of men
of the world, and there would seem to have
been nothing in common between him and
them and yet Cromwel's psalm.singing fol-
lowers never held their chief in higher regard
or hearter affection than that with which these
rollicking young planters cherished their sad
eyed and sober-faced leader. They even re-
joiced in extreme religiosity, and held it in
some sort work of supererogation, sufficient
to atone for their own worldly-mindedness.
They were never more devoted to him than
when transgressing the very principles upon
which his life was ordered; and when any of
his men INDUCED in dram drinking, a practice
from which he always rigidly abstained, his
health was sure to be the first toast given. On
one occasion, soldier who had imbibed en-
thusiasm with his whisky, feeling the made
quacy of the devotion shown by drinking to an
absent chief, marched, canteen in hand, to
Jackson's tent, and gaining admission, pro-
posed as sentiment, "Here's to you, Gener-
al? May 1 live to see you stand on thehighest
pinnacle of Mount Ararat, and hear you give
the command, BY the right of nations front
into empires-worlds, right face?"-Fron

AN AR1srocRAT1c Observation-Disclosures
Schwartz-Senborn, the Minister from Austria
to this country, exhibits an abnormal tenden'
cy to be useful as we'll as ornamental in his
day and generation. Although nobleman
by birth, he is an excellent practical mechan-
ic, and has learned how to build and manage
almost all kinds of machinery. Instead Of
spending his time in listless diplomatic david.
ling about Washington, he devotes much of
his leisure to manual labor in large manufac.
tories of the varied mechanical interests of
our country. Recently, in Newark, New Jer-
sey, he went to a trunk factory, where he
speedily learned to make trunks and travelling
bags specimens of which he sent, with many
other products, to the Museum of Mechanics
of Vienna. It is stated that he is extraordi-
narily deft and quick in learning the manual
details of mechanical pursuits We suggest
the baron's example as good one to be fol-
lowed by the many "barrens" of intellect who
infest the city of Washington after the Mi
cawber fashion.

WORDS.

WRITTEN BY 8. J.
If words could satisfy the heart
The heart would have less care;
But words, like summer clouds, depart
And leave but empty care.
The heart, pilgrim on the earth,
Finds often when it needs,
That words are as little worth
AS just so many weeds.
A little said, and truly said,
Can deeper joy impart
Than scores of words that reach the head,
But never reach the heart.

How MUCH VIZ TALK.-It is well that all
we say is not written down-not only be-
cause some of it might be rather against us,
but because there would not be room for it.
A curious Frenchman has lately been making
a calculation, which is that man talks on an
average three hours day, at the rate of
about twenty-nine octave pages an hour.
This would make eighty-seven pages day,
about six hundred a week, which would
amount to fty-two good.sized volumes
every year. And then, multiplying this by
the number of years in mans life, what a
library he would have if it should all be
printed And, too, how very little of the
whole would be worth preserving, and how
much he would be so glad if it had been un-
said

LENDING MoNEY.-In order to make an
enemy, lend man small sum of money for
a day. Call upon him in week for it. Wait
two months. In three months insist upon his
paying you. He will get angry, denounce
you, and ever after speak of you in abusive
terms. We have seen this experiment tried
repeatedly, and never knew it fail.

ARCHBISHOP WHATELY's PROVIDENCE

ARCHBISHOP WHATELY's PROVIDENCE
Readers of Archbishop Whately's writings
will remember his decisive condemnation Of
the habit of ascribing to Providence only those
exceptional events which strike US as wonder
full, making "providential" nearly equivalent to
miraculous. Among several anecdotes OF the
Archbishop, contributed to Lippincott's Mag.
azine, by T. Adolphus Trollope, is one touch
ing this point. A packet ship sailing from
New York to Liverpool was burned. Among
those who escaped in boat was clergyman
who made himself the hero of religious circles
in Dublin, dilating on the wonderful mercy he
had experienced.
One day on the occasion Of one of the
general reception of the clergy, which often
took place at the archiepiscopal residence,
our hero was holding forth in his usual strain
to little knot gathered around in Whate-
ly's drawing-room, when the Archbishop,
whose wont it was on such occasions to stroll
about the room from one group to another,
saying few words here and few words
there to his guests, came up to the knot OF
which Mr.. Thomson 1--WE willIgive him that
name for the nonce) was the centre. Whately
listened with grave attention to the telling OF
his story and to the usual comments on it, and
then spoke. "Wonderful occurrence! A
great and signal mercy indeed, Mr.. Thomson.
But think can cap it," said he, using an
expression which was very common with him
tossing up his white head in the old bull-like
manner, Il think can cap it with an incident
from my own experience"
Every body pricked up bis ears and listened
eagerly for the passage in the Archbishop's
life which should show yet more marvellous
ly merciful escape than that of Mr. Thomson
from the burning ship
Whately continued in the most impressive
manner: "Not three months ago l sailed in
the packet from Holyhead to Kingston (the
port for Dublin)and-"
A pause while Archbishop took a copious
pinch of snuff, and bis hearers were on the
tenter-hooks of expectation.
"And by Gods mercy the vessel never
caught fire at all. Think Of that, Mr.. Thom-

THE NEGRO NOT TO BE OPPRESSED.

The Memphis Appeal in an article on
the Bearing of the South" since the late
elections, gives expression in the following
plain terms to the general sentiment Of the
Southern people:
can oppressive responsibility rests upon the
people of the South, and they must be equal
to their opportunities. Bad as are the recon
structed constitutions of theSouth, and illegal
as was the manner in which they were imposed
upon US, they are accomplished facts. We
can no more, with prudence, blot them out
than could the government of Gambetta re.
turn to the laws of Louis XVI.-than Mac
Mahon could blot out Gravelotte and Sedan.
Whatever we may think of the iniquity of the
fourteenth amendment and of the policy Of
the fifteenth amendment, it is no more posi-
BILE to blot out the results of these amend
ments than it would be to repeal the thirteenth
amendment itself. In accepting Mr.. Greeley
in 1872, the South signed a compact with eve
ry section of the Union that the results of the
war, so far as they established the political
equality of all the citizens of the United
States shall not be disturbed. Should re-
dictionary spirit develop itself against those
results, we would despair of success in the
great battle of 1876, to which the present
victory is a pressage We must not oppress
the negro. We must convince him that the
white people of the South have the will and
the means to do better by him than the carpet
bagger, who has used him, and will desert
him as soon as deprived of office. We must
convince the colored men that we have no
hostility against them, because we consider
them the ignorant dupes of their political
masters, more sinned against than SHINING.
Let us act with justice and kindness, indicate
by our treatment that those among whom they
were born are their best friends, and the days
of intimidation, armed Intervention, and car
pet-bag governments will be a thing of the
past to come no more. Let it not be said two
years hence that any act of the Southern
people has resulted in the defeat of those
measures on which their prosperity depends,
or that another radical has been elected, be-
cause from her disloyalty the South could not
be trusted to manage her own destinies."

MIR. cORLEIGH,s SUSPENDERS.

Mr.. Cobleigh took bath on Sunday morn.
ing. On coming from the water, refreshed
and invigorated, he put on his pauts and drew
the suspenders on his bare shoulders, and ta-
king his soiled clothing in his arms adjourned
to the bedroom. Here he deliberately loos-
ened those articles while he tucked in the gar
ments. Then he looked for his suspenders.
He had carefully placed them on chair, you
know-that chair, right at the foot of the
bed-and he looked there for them, as it was
perfectly reasonable he should. They were
not there, however. Mr.. Cobleigh was sur.
prised. He stared very hard at the chair,
and tried manfully to keep down the rising
temper.
Then he looked in every corner OF the room,
and got down on his knees and peered under
the bed, and even looked up at the ceiling
and out of the window.
He examined these localities, not because
he expected to find the articles there, but Mr..
Cobleigh wished to show to the world that
there was no intention on his part to be unfair
in this matter.
He had left those suspenders on that chair,
and, as they were not gifted with legs, some
one had removed them. Mr.. Cobleigh was so
confident of this that he deemed it prudent to
strike the stand with his fist and tell what
ought to be done to the party who took the
suspeHders.
This he did, and then he called his wife.
She came up at once Mr.. Cobleigh very
briefly related the loss, because he hadn't time
to talk much, and then proceeded to talk
about nothing else.
Mrs. Cobleigh carefully searched the chair,
while Mr.. Cobleigh stood by and grated his
teeth. Then she carefully searched the room,
which so exasperated him, as he had already
made the search, and had left the suspenders
on the chair, that he tartly inquired if she
supposed he had hidden the articles. This led
her to exclaim that she believed he had left
them somewhere else.
"Do you think I'd lie about pair Of sus-
penders?" gasped he, as the awful suspicion
flashed upon him.
Mrs. Cobleigh was not prepared to back up
this proposition perhaps she did not consider
it at all, but she was confident they had been
mislaid, and said so; while Mr.. Cobleigh,
holding up his garments, danced around in a
furious manner.
Finally compromise was made with two
strips of woolen cloth with holes at the ends,
and the Cobleighs went to church in no very
happy state of mind.
At night, when Mr.. Cobleigh retired, and
drew off his upper wardrobe for that purpose,
vehement exclamation attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs. Cobleigh, who, looking around,
beheld very sheepish- looking man trying to
disengage pair of suspenders from under a
tight-6tting undershirt.
"Well, I declare, commenced this lady.

THE government of Egypt has very
effective method Of constructing it's nation
al improvements, which is entirely free
from all such institutions as credit mobil-
iers, rings, &c. BY it work is pushed
rapidly and surely to completion. The
system probably dates back at least as far
as the building of the Pyramids or the ex-
cayation of Lake Moeris. No tax is made
on the property of the people, but simply
on the services of able-bodied laboring
men. The enterprise now being con-
Quoted is capacious canal, $50 miles long
for the more complete irrigation of the
Nile Valley. The governors of the
districts through which it is marked
out are called upon by the Khedive to
furnish certain quota Of laborers, which
they Immediately proceed to do by a
system of drafting. The drafted men
are forced to serve fifty days and to fur
nsh their own food and lodging. II
they are retained more than the number
Of days mentioned, the government feeds
them. The wives and children are left
to the protection of Allah, in whom
every one in that region are disposed to
place perfect confidence. When the fifty
days have expired, another draft is made,
and SO on until the work is completed.
Those able to furnish substitutes are
exempt. Besides the canal mentioned
above there are several other important
public works in progress under the
same system. There are at least 140,-
900 men engaged in this compulsory
labor. And yet it is the boast of the
Egyptians that there are no slaves in
Egypt.

who has been nominated by the President,
and confirmed by the Senate, as Chief JUS

he will be apt to strive to earn and deserve

abroad by memorial lighthouse, which

Maury was the light of the sea when
living, and why should he not be now that
he is dead? Meanwhile what he considered
the crownipg glory of his life-his great
map of Virginia-remains in the Capitol,
possibly not unappreciated, but GER
tainly not published, as its great author
designed and intended. 1t should be
