Failure Of Ilessfs. ]. 3. Ford & Co.

eAssUs p W WsOOOs Os - - " y - VVs |
From the New York SUM-
It yesterday became our duty
to announce the stoppage of the
publishing house of j. B. Ford &
Co., of this city. They are the
publishers OF some of Mr.. Beech
ers's works, and have suffered
greatly from the total cessation
in the sale Of his books produced
by the scandal revelations and by
the universal doubt of his inno-
cence, and the less general but
more positive beliefin his guilt.
The bankruptcy Of this house
has, however, a still darker as
pect in its relation to Mr.. Beecher.
Six years ago, when he was in the
height of his popularity, they
made a contract with him to write
the life Of Christ. It was writ
ten instrument, and all its partic
ulars we're carefully discussed and
/ considered before its execution.
He agreed to finish the work in
eighteen months, and upon the
faith OF this agreement they paid
him $40, 1000 in cash Immediately
after the signature. Then they
went on to invest large sums in
engravings to illustrate the book;
and in fact the outlay upon the
work, as we understand, up to the
present time is about 100000.
| Had Beecher fulfilled the obi
cations he assumed in making
this contract, had he rendered an
honest equivalent for the money
he received, the work would have
been completed years ago, long
before his reputation had been
broken down by the accusation OF
seducing his friends wife and his
own parishioner; and the Messrs
Ford, instead of being ruined,
would doubtless have derived a
handsome profit from their enter
prise.
But the man seems to have nc
conscience toward his friends, nc
regard for his own pledged word
and promise; and after six years
the book is only about two-thirds
finished He coolly ruins his
publishers because he is too self
indulgent, too selfish, and too la
" to do work for which he hat
the precautiOn to take his pay il
: advance.
Mr.. Beecher had better leav,
of writing the life of Christ, ant
write the life Of the Devil. Tha
would be much more in his line

HENS IN PLACE OF Does
There is hardly a family that does
not throw away enough table
scraps to feed at least half a
dozen hens, and many that keep
a nuisance in the shape of a dog,
that does no good, but costs more
than a dozen good hens, complain
that they cannot afford to keep
hens. One dog in a neighbor-
hood is generally a greater trou-
BILE to the neighbors than a flock
Of hons would be, for If hens are
we'll fed at home they will rarely
go away. But whoever saw dog
that was not . pest, running a cross
the newly made garden, and stick
ing his nose into everything !?
Kill off the ours the food to the
hens, and you will find pleasure
as well as profit in so doing. We
wish there was a tax of one hun
dred' dollars on every dog in the
country. Those that are of value
as watch dogs could be retained,
while the host of snarling, dirty
ours would give place to some
more useful and less troublesome
pets Poultry STANDARD.

Selected Poetry.


You won't be hard on her, father,
ltis JEANNE, our eldest born
JEANNE, the little girl-bahy
God gave us one Christmas morn.
She had given us many heart-ache
And, oh! twas bitter day
When We hunted all over for JEANNE. !.
And found she had run away.
You cursed her that morning, father;
And bitterly then you swore
That the home she had left behind her
Should never receive her more;
But know that you couldn't have meant it
And you won't remember it when,
Sick and broken and hungry,
Our Jeannie comes home again.
You won't be hard on her father?
1t was years and years ago,
And / think you have fretted for JEANNE
More than even you know.
She is looking SO pale and sickly,
And see how thin she is dressed;
Look at the poor little baby
That's lv;no nm Jaapr;e,s brcast
You are forehanded, father,
And these are our flesh and blood,
And yet they are cold and hungry.
Starving, perhaps, for food.
You know we pray of a Sunday,
And every tlav that VIC live.
To he for our aims FORGIVEN
Even ma we forgive
Seth wan shiftless fellow,
But he wasn't bad you know;
And JEANNE was young and reckless

Gen. Adelbert Ames.

~
n The temperance of this worthy upon
the scene in connection with the recent
Vicksburg troubles recalls to mind an in
cident In which his characteristics were
developed in manner quite In keeping
with his Mississippi career.
Just after tile close of the war, when
this section still remained headquarters for
a'portion Of the Northern army, and when
Generals OF the grade Of Ames and KiiS
patrick, and other like gentry, conspicu>
Gus on the rolls Of fame were plenty as
black berries, II was determined among
these latter to make the presentation OF a
sword to Fitzpatrick, probably 70 replace

woods south Of Fayetteville occasion

Al the railroad was then pretty much
under military rule, to order train, to fix
their own schedule, and 10 fly through to
Lexington at speed of IS miles an hour,
was all easily arranged and carried out;
They had, In common, parlance, "a high

of the ceremonial and festivities, re-enter-
ed the train. full Of wine and whiskey,
and determined to annihiiate time and

There wasnothing 10 impede them un.
III they reached the Company Shops
which they did with incredible speed.
But there the train was taken In charge
by conductor Kluge. and Kiuge had been
notified that there was u train on fits way
up from, Raleigh. and that II was neces-
sary that lie should reduce speed, and be
on the look out for meeting points.
Every body remembers Kluge, the most
polite, the most gentle spoken, the most
popular conductor OF his day, accommo-
dating, but faithful 10 duty, mild, yet firm
