From the New York Times
Joe HaWley on the Third Term.

General Hawley made 8 speech the
other night at Hartford, which will
probably be fully approved by all the
intelligent men OF his district. He
touched upon nearly all the questions
of the day in a brief but frank and
straightforward manner, and, among
other things, be did not hesitate 20
approach the 'thIrd-term" bug-bear.
What he said on that subject Is worth
the attention of cur readers
'fThe third term suppose it Is ex-
peeted I shall say something about. l
regard it as q sensation originally got
% by the New YORK Herald to bother
the Republican party. Grant and the
Cabinet probably looked upon it in
that way. Considering that it WAS
only an effort to tease him, the
President shut his mouth-and
be is an obstinate man. III he
has finally, however, by injudi-
cious advice, been led to indulge the
hope OF a nomination-why, it is one
of the most hopeless OF all things, il
for no other reason than that he
would assuredly be defeated. It IS as
fully mbedded in the minds of the
people as If it were written in the
Constitution that no man shall serve
more than two terms. Applause.
II is useless TO talk sbOutit. Icertain-
IL should be opposed to the nomina'
ton of any candidate for q third term
under any circumstances. Applause.

Concerning the Third fern.


The Chicago Tribune exchanges
with nearly every Republican paper
in the United States of any note, and,
with the exception Of q small organ
of cheap Office-holders and beggars
around Washington, there il not one
Republican paper which favors
third term. Even those papers
which are edited and controlled by
Fostmasters dare not offend the uni
versal sentiment among Republicans
by advocating, even Indirectly a
third term.
Under these circumstances OF the
origin Of the'story, its use by the DEM
ocrats to prejudice the country
against the President and the Repub-
liean party, the signal failure of all
those who have attempted third
term party, Is it not time that the
whole nonsensieal business was
buried, and the Republican party re-
lieved Of all thought Of any further
discussion on the question |? As well
attempt to repel an accusation of a
purpose to establish q monarchy, as
to deny the shsdowy imputatiOn OF
favoring a third term the one propO-
sitiOn has about as much foundation
in truth as the Chicago 1rib-
uHe.

EIlUUT

A lead mine has been discovered on
the farm of fex-COmmissioner Samuel
Martindale, in Butler township, about
ten miles north of Dayton. The ore
was discovered while opening and de-
veloping 8 stone quarry, and was at
first supposed to be stone, but from lis
peculiar color and brittleness attracted
rhe atte1tion Of the owner, who
BROUGHT specimens to Dayton for an
alysis. Prof. Z. A. Mndge made par
tial assay of it, and found a very large
per centage of good lead, and with it
pyrites (salpbate) of iron and indica-
tions of silver; but, from the limited
facilities at his command, could not
make a thorough test, but is satisfied
that lead exists in great quantities.
The ground in the vicinity has been
prospected, and the ledge, or vein
which Is four or five feet in thickness,
found to extend back six hundred feet
at least, and is several rods in width.
Specimens have been, or will be, sent
to the State Asssyist, at Columbus,
for q careful analysis. There is great
excitement in the vicinity of the
quarr1es in regard to the matter.
That Mr.. Martindale is the proprietor
of q bonanza is beyond question.

Helping a Convict.

Many convict, after getting out of
prison, would lead a respectable life
if he could only begin well. But peo-
pie are afraid of him, and won't trust
him or give him employment, and so
he falls into rOguery again to make
out living. The late Henry Ray
mond, of the New York Times, made
a convict honest by lending him ten
dollars.
One day, while busy in his room,
there appeared to him q man, say
ing
sis this Mr.. Raymond ?p
Being assured Of this, he contin-
ued,-
"Can I speak to you a few mo-
ments, sir ?"

hesitated the man.
"NOt from the prison, 1 hope said
the editor, by the way OF putting the
caller to ease with joke.
"Yes, sir" said the visitor, "I got
my discharge few days ago."
"Weil, my man." said RAYMOND,
''I hope you were innocent"
mo, sir,n replied the convict, 'I

"HOw much is it, my man ?'' said
Mr.. Raymond.
"Well, sir" replied the man, 81

afterward, Mr.. Raymond was at a
fair of the American Institute, and
while looking at some machinery on
exhibition, decent man in charge of
it approached him and said,-
SIS this Mr.. Raymond ?"
"Yes, " he replied, "but I don't re-
member you"
"Don't you rememb Der the man from

"No," said Raymond. "I don't re-

"Wby," said the man from Sing

then he rehearsed the story here set
down, and said he had subsisted on
Mr.. RaymOnd's loan until he found
employment in his own line, with q
good man, who knew his story, and
was well pleased with him, giving
him good wages and steady work in =

bility. Taking a bank-nOte from his
pocket, the engineer repaid the bOr-

Mr.. Raymond thought it was cheap,
and said he had charged all his OF her

Sure, TO the mansions OF the blest
When innocence aScends, 49,
Some angel brighter than the rest
The spotless spirits fiight attends.
On wings OF ecstacy they rise.
Beyond where worlds material roll,
TIL some fair sister of the skies
Receives the unpolluted soul.
There, at tn Almighty Fathers hand,
E Nearest the throne of living light,
The chofrs ofinfant seraphs stand.
And dazzling shine where all are bright
That inextinguishabIe beam,
With dust united at our birth,
Sheds more dim discolored CLEAN,
The more it fingers upon the earth.
Closed in this dark abode Of clay,
The steam of glory family burns,
Not unobscured the lucid ray,
To its own native fOunt returns.
Butwhen the Lord OF mortal breath,
Decrees his bounty to resume
And points the silent shaft Of death,
Which speeds an infant to the tomb,
No passion fierce, no low desire,
Has quenched the radiance OF the flame
Back to its God the living fire,
Returns. unsullied as it came.

The Lost Grave

Hyou have ever passed the desert-
ed graveyard on Russell street, near
the House OF Correction you know
that there Is not . more lonely spot
in DstrOit- 1t Is = score OF years since
any one wss buried there. The fences
lean in or out; the few trees are rag

beaten headstonss lean this way or
thst, or have fallen down. The rich
and the poor who sleep under the rag
sed so-i have been dust for yesrs, and
u any Of them left friends behind they
are scattered now, and are not here to
tili ~ tue sunken graves and plant q
flower to take the gloom away.
The other day people saw an old
womsn wandering through the grave
yard, brushing the moss from some
of the headstones to look at the letters
and Studying long over the quaint
characters carved into others. By and
by she crossed the street, sat down on
the steps Of q cottage, and when peo-
pie saw how old and feeble she was,
aud that her eyes were full OF tears,
they pitied her. She could not an
swer at 1rst, but by and by she told
them that she had come hundreds of
miles TO take last look at a grave
which she could not find. Halt q GEN.
tury ago she buried child there, and
all through the uong years, though
moving here and there, her mothers
heart had not forgotten the dead.
Old now, her steps feeble and her
locks gray, and feeling that she had
but little longer 70 remain on earth,
she had come clear across the State
alone to nave q last look at the little
grave. Years had gone Oy, bat she
thought she could walk right to the
spot, and there was half hope In her
heart that straugers' hsnds might
have kept the head-stous white and
the grave as when she last saw it.
She fOucd the old yard cut up by
streets, the city all around and bayond,
and OF the hundreds OF mounds and
headst0nes which she once saw bat q
score or 50 were left. She sought
among the leaning headstones, and
she stood under the dying willows and
searched the field for the small stone
which bore the words lads
"Our WillIe,p but the fight Of time
and the hand Of progress were more
powerful than mothers love Fifty
years since the little dead body was
lowered into its grave Half = CEN
tury since the headstone was placed
to mark the spot And yet her
mothers heart brought her back In her
cid age, with the hope that her tears
might fail npOn the little grave, OBJ
liberated and passed from sight for
ever. "
1t was sad enough to see tears fall
ling down her wrlnkied cheeks, and
to know that her old heart was aching
with disappointment, and men spoke
kline words to her, and women wiped
their eyes in sympathy. LOOAing
through her tears at the bleak and
lonely field, its loneliness relieved and
yet made more lonely by the time

... 0. Saw.
( In lonely, secluded position in the
northwest corner of the cemetery near
the ever beautiful liTtle village of
Richmond, Kalamazoo county, Miehi-
gan, the historian can find, on q pure
white Marble slab, nearly concealed
from view by a cluster of lilac bushes,
engraved the simple name of "Benja-
min Cummings, born 17T2, died lS43."
And who was Benjamin Cummings
He was the inventor of circular saws,
now in use in this country and In Eu-
rope. Nearly sixty years ago, at Bur
tonville, New York, near Amsterdam,
this man hammered out, at his own
blacksmith's anvil, the first cir
cular saw known to mankind.
He was noted pioneer in Richmond,
a first cousin TO one of the Presidents
of the United States, slave owner in
New York State, a leading Mason in
the days OF Morgan, aud at whose ta-
ble the very elect of the then great
State OF New York feasJed and drank
freely Of bis choice liquors and wines;
a vessel owner on the North river
before the days of steambo a cap
tain ia the war of 1872, where after
having three horses shot from un-
der him, with one stroke of his
sword he brought his superior Of
ficer to the ground for an insult.
and because he was traitor and
coRarI; and after having been court
martialed, instead OF having been
shot, he was appointed colonel in his
place. And in this lOwly grave are
the ashes of the man VITO, about sew
-enty years ago, ut Albany, New York,
took up and moved bodily large brick
buildings and. to the wonder and as
constituent of the world, constructed
a mile and q half of the Erie Canal
through u bed OF rock, and who also
built, per contract, those first low
bridges over the same. He also
aided in the construction OF the
first ten miles of railroad built in
the United States, and founded the
villages of Esperance and BurtOnville,
on the old Schoharie, near Amster-
dam. The study and aim of this
mans life appeared to be to accom-
pijsh that which none others could
accomplish, and when the object
sought was secured or TOyercome, he
passed it as quietly as he would the
pebbles on the sea shore.
