The Downfall OfTWeed.

The New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, speaking of Tweed and his
faithful wife, says: ''They were married
when the man was chair-maker, and they
might have had happy career had the
former remained honest They lived in a
plain manner, mingled with mechanics soci-
ETY., and were the parents of two boys and
two girls, good looking and healthy children.
The era of meritricious splendor has come
and gone like dream. The girls are married.
Each had q diamond wedding and
each has sunk into obscurity and poverty.
The two sons, each held fine appointments
in the service of the ring, but they are now
only lounging around the City Hall. The
mother is in widows desolation. The ILL.,
gotten wealth is almost all gone. A million
and half has passed into the hands of her
lawyers, and her husband is still prisoner.
A seedy and corpulent old man inhabiting
pair Of rooms in Ludlow street Jail is all that
is left of one who has been Alderman, Con-
gresham, chair-maker, commissioner of
parks, public buildings and docks, State Sen
ator, and for seven years the autocrat of this
city. The only redeeming feature is the faith
full wife, who is reducing herself to poverty
in hope of obtaining her husbands release.

One of the New Members i'm the Cashiers
Office.

Washington Special to the Chicago Inter Ocean.]
AT the Cashiers office of the Treasury the
other day was to be seen tall, lank, scrawny,
sallow man, with rugged, wrinkled face,
and tuft OF gray whiskers under the chin );
dingy suit of brown clothing, and an over
coat that looked as if the long service entitled
it to retirement and a pension. The boots
were unpublished, and the legs of the panta-
looms were scanty as to their length; the coat
sleeves were long enough to make up the
pantaloons deficiency, and hung in great
folds over the rough, brawny hands. He
came with great Difference, and saying 'Good
morning, gentlemen" seated himself near
the door. The usual rush of business was
going on; persons came and went after trans
acting their duties, and for half an hour or
more no one took ony notice of the old man.
Finally the Cashier spoke to him and asked
him if be wished to see any particular per-
son. He introduced himself as the member
from -- district, and wanted to see the
Cashier. Mr. Wyman made himself known,
and the old gentleman, taking from the inner
pocket of his coat an old-fashioned pocket
book, unwound the long strap that bound it,
produced from sealed envelope nine certiti-
Gates from the sergeant-at-arms of the House,
representing nearly $4,000, his salary since
he 4th of March.

How Henry Clay Was Sold.

Some time before the introduction OF rail-
roads Governor Metcalfe represented in Con-
Sress district in which Nicholas county was
part DR. Clay was Secretary of State un-
uer President Quincy Adams. The two dis
tlnguished politicians agreed to travel to Wash
lngton in Governor Metcalfe's carriage. While
passing through the State of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Clay told Governor Metcalfe that he had
received lntimations that in certain town
they were approaching he would be honored
with an ovation by the citizens. Just before
coming to the town Governor Mctcalfe, who
had all along been driving, suggested to MI.
Clay that he take the lines aud drive, as he
himself was tired. Mr. Clay readily consent
co. whercupon the Governor took the back
seat IN the carriage. Mr.. Clay drove the team
successfully into the town, and they were
met Dy large concourse Of people. Gov.
Metcaife alighted from the carriage, and be-
ing asked whether he was Mr. Clay, answer.
eu yes, that he was glad to meet them, etc.,
ana at this the crowd fairly hoisted him upon
,neir shoulders and triumphantly started with
~ nun TO the place Of reception. Looking back

sUhewhat sUat nonplussed, the Governor cried:

Anecdotes Of Henry Wilson.

Anecdotes of the late Vice e-President are
multiplying on every hand. One illustrative
of his well known kindness to soldiers comes
from Michigan. A correspondent of the De-
troit Neacs writest hat in the winter of 1862
there was great suffering in camp of 13, 900
convalescents near Alexandria, Va. In re-
sponse to petition to President Lincoln, a
''quiet faced" man visited the camp and ex-
amined its condition, bringing with him two
ambulances loaded with blankets and pro-
visions. The writer adds: "The quiet faced
man had been making a memorandum of
some Of the worst cases, and was just depart
ing, when weak voice inquired for postage
stamps. God bless you, yes, said our quiet
gentleman, heres few and money to buy
more A thought seemed to strike him.
Producing his wallet, he placed in the hands
of the sergeant in charge of each division a
crisp new $50 bill, tfor postage stamps, re-
member, and turning to his gratified audience
he added, in his CHEEKY way, will be here
again, boys, Monday. and will have differ
ent state of things Monday came and with
it the quiet-faced man and board Of sur
geons with orders to discharge or furlough
every man who was not ready for immediate
active duty. New barracks were built, and
camp Misery Hill ceased to exist. The quiet
faced man was Henry Wilson,

A Novel Treatment for Wounds.

Having noticed an account Of the some

case Of a wound, we addressed Il note of IL
4uiry to the gentleman named, Mr.. A. X.
Smoot, a commission merchant of Baltimore,
and received reply, a portion of which,
with permission, we copy. Mr.. Smoot says
under date Of September %: ''On the 1th Of

admiral FarraglIt ut Ten.

Would you like to know how | was cngay-
ed to serve my country? 1t was all owing to
resolution l formed when | was ten years
of age. My father was sent down to New
Orleans with the little navy we then had to
look after the treason of Burr accompan-
led him as cabin boy. had some qualities
that thought made a man of me. l could
swear like an old salt; could drink as stiff a
glass of grog as if l had doubled Cape Horn,
and could smoke like locomotive. l was
great at cards and fond of gambling in every
shape. At the close of the dinner one day.
my father turned everybody out of the cabin,
locked the door, and said to me:
''David, what do you mean to be-
II mean to follow the sea-
''Follow the sea! Yes, be poor, miser-
able, drunken sailor before the mast, kicked
and cuffed about the world, and die in some
fever hospital in some foreign Cline
My father left me and went on deck l
was stunned by the rebuke, and overwhelmed
with modification. "a poor, miserable.
drunken sailor before mast, kicked and cuffed
about the world, and to die in some fever
hospital" That's my fate. is it! I'll change
my life and change it at once, will never
utter another oath; will never drink another
drop of intoxicating liquors; Iwillnever gam
ble." And, as God is my witness, have kept
those three vows to this hour.

Shelter for Sheep.

The Lice St0ch Journal says that if one
were to judge solely from the attention which
sheep receive in this country from the ma
jority OF men who own them, he would inn
agine that they were among the most rugged
and hardy classes of our domestic animals
This judgment, Of course, would be incorrect;
but they are treated as though they " ere we'll
able to take care of themselves. And to this
fact are due many Of the greatest losses which
sheep owners annually sustain. A great
many men have tried sheep husbandry and
in few years left it in disgust. They say it
is hard business, snd will not pay for the
capital invested and the time required My
experience has been different | have found
sheep husbandry one Of the most profitable
kinds Of farm business. 1t has paid me we'll,
and it will pay others well if they will only
take pains to adopt their means to the end
which they have in view. Sheep and lambs
do not want the same kind Of care and treat
ment that oxen need, and if they are fed and
treated like oxen, they will not be very profit
able to their owner While exposure is in
furious to all kinds of farm stock, some will
endure it better than others. The breeds of
sheep usually kept in this country are not ex-
tremely hardy, and cannot stand great
amount Of neglect and exposure; they need
good food and kind treatment. In the sum-
mer it is very desirable that they should have
shelter at night and from hard storms. II
the pasture is far from the farm there ought
to be a shed built in the lot, to which they
car 60 when the heat is intense, during the
showers, and in which they can stayat night
Last year drove my sheep to the barn and
kept them in their shed every night | also
drove them in when there was likely to be a
hard shower. For many years have taken
a great deal Of care of them, and have had
my reward. While my neighoors have had
sickness in their focks, weak lambs, and
many losses, my sheep have been strong and
well, lambs vigorous and the whole flock in
prime condition; and to keep them so has
cost me but little time and work / pasture
the cows and sheep in the same lot, and drive
them to aud from the barn together. And |
am convinced that it pays to keep them shell
tered from tho storms and dews. For awhile
after shearing they need extra care, and I
take pains to keep thon from the rain sov
eral days. I am we'll aware that such little
things are generally considered beneath the
notice of the average American farmer, but I
am also confident that it would be for his in
terest to give them more attention.

Richard Baxter.

Among all the remarkable men that Eng
land and the seventeenth century produced,
among whom were Cromwell, Pym, Hamp-
den, William Penn and George Fox, one Of
the most remarkable was Richard Baxter.
Cromwell, Pym and Hampden are regarded
with admiration and wonder. The peculiar
tiles which set apart William Penn and Geo.
Fox from the rest of their generation are lit
tie understood; but wherever ''The Saints
Everlasting Rest has brought consolation to
the mourner, rest to eyes tired with weeping,
its author is given the love and reverence
which we accord to a dear friend. In Har-
1,e,'s 4MautMy, for December, is given sketch
of his life. At its head is picture of the
statue Of him, which, unveiled last year,
stands overlooking the river Stour, at Kidder-
minister, SO long the scene of his labors.
Baxter began active life as minister of the
Church of England, but died Puritan, but
the most temperate and tolerant of the Puri-
tan body. During the war between King and
Parliament he was chaplain in the regiment
of Colonel Whalley, the famous regicide,
who, fleeing at the Restoration to the colo
MES, died peacefully at New Haven. Not
withstanding this, he found favor with Char
les the Second, and was appointed one of his
chaplains. A more unpromising subject for
DdAtCA > kdU>'IS luau lllc NOItultSS kIUS COuN
hardly have been found. Imprisoned during
the reign of James, he lived to see the glori-
GUS revolution that brought liberty to stay
forever upon English ground, dying in 1851.
His opinion of the men of that troublous
time, and indeed of the struggle itself, may
be learned from that passage in ''The Saints
Rest, in which he declares that one of the
pleasures which he expects to enjoy in heaven
is the society of John Hampden. This pas
sage was suppressed at the Restoration, but
he declared stoutly that his own opinions had
not changed. So tolerant was he that at the
Revolution he would not subscribe to the
damnatory clause of the Athanasian Creed,
and put upon record his hope that unbeliev-
ers, if sincere and virtuous, may partake of
the benefits of redemption. Virtuous, toler-
ant and merciful in vicious, intolerant and
merciless age; humble, sincere and laborious
for the good of others, through his works as
erg ea and re3erenee re vu iG % w ISe thew che c 5
the memory of Richard Baxter.
