r From the San Al,tonia Herdtd.l
Some years ago some emigrants
from Ohio and Illinois settled in a
little town in this State and soon
began to,agitate for the erection of
q school-house and the employ
ment of teacher a town-meet-
ing was called to consider the prop
osition and one of the Northern
ers made a neat little speech, tell
ing of the blessings education had
brought with it to Ohio and Iii
nois. When he had sat down an
old man in the corner arose, gave
the customary hitch to his cordu-
roys, pushed back his hat a trlfie
from his forehead and answered
thus. Stranger, up in yer Ohio
State you've got a big penitentlary
full of people; hain't yer? Wall,
yer've got larnin' up thar! Up in
yer Illinois State yer've got a PEN
iteniary full Of people; yer've got
larnin' thar! But I've lived here
for thirty-seven years ia peace and
happiness. I've raised nine boys
and tew gals, and | sleep perfickly
gound o. night, eos | amt 'fraid
any of my boys III go to the peni-
tertiary for forgin notes. eos they
can't none of'em writeW (Sensa-
ton In the audience and sympathy
manifested Another of the new
corners then spoke, arguing in ia
vor of education and then tall,
lank native stood up and fixing
the person with his glittering eye,
made his speech" See here, mis-
ter; amt you the machine man?''
"Yes,'' said re; 81 did sell some
machines here last year." "Wa'al,
when the wheat got ripe, ali the
people went to neighbor john
sons to see how yer moving ma
chine would operate. We got the
tarnal thing into the field, and
Neighbor Johnson he hitched his
young FLY into the'shafts. She all
ers was a fractions critter, and the
frst thing we knowed she gave a
fiounce'and caught neighbor john
sons boy Bills leg an cut it clean

mister, in just about two weeks yer

wooden legs, and neighbor Joha-
son had to buy one of them ere

understand, you dol Fust you sell
the machine, and then yer pardner
he furnishes the wooden legs !'-
This ended the matter, and no
sehoolmaster will be welcome in
that village for some time TO come.

A MISTER CLEARED UP
A Skeleton Found.
/ From The Frederick, { Va. Herald.

lrfN"s "sO - SNS's e'st 80 ASf"tNs
In the spring of 1866, IA mau
named Parker Martin, a citizen OF
Caroline, county, misteriolsly dis
appeared-he having been traced
from Richmond. where he had
been on visit back 10 his own
country. AS il was known he had
gold and silver coin on his person,
some supposed that he had been
murdered. The mystery W Is clear.
ed up last week by the finding of
his skeleton in the bushes at Reedy
Mill, on the Mattapoai, and it is
now believed that Martin was
drowned at the point in 1869, in his
attempting to cross the river, as
the river was swollen, and Martin
when last seen en- route was intox-
icated. The parties who found the
body also found at the same spot,
in the sand, gold and silver coin of
about the value of $3.50.

Murders and Outrages i'm
Turkey.

4 VIENNA, April 15.-In conse-
quences Of the communications re-
ceived by the various foreign
representatives at Constantinople re-
garding the frequent murders Of and
outrages upon Christians in the prov
inces of Roumelia, it is probable that
united action will be taken by the
governments interested to induce
Turkey to bring the murderers to
Justice, and to secure the lives and
property of Christian residents from
further outrage.

UNDER THE DAIsEs.

1t is strange what deal of trouble we
take,
What sacrifice most of us willingly make,
How the lips viii smile though the heart
may ache,
AMI we bend to the ways of the world for
the sake
OF its poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitiless flow
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work to finish before we go
To our long rest under the daises.
And too often we fail in useless fight,
For wrong is so much in the place Of
right,
And the end is so far beyond our sight,
Tis as when one starts on chase by night
An unknown shade pursuing.
Even so do we see, when our race is run,
That of all we have striven for little is won,
And 0. all the work our strength has
done,
How little was worth the doing.
So most of US travel with very poor speed,
Failing in thought where we conquer in
deed
Least brave in the hour of greatest need,
And making a riddle that few may read,
Of our LIES intricate mazes.
Such labyrinth of right and wrongy
Is it strange that heart once brave and
strong
Should falter at last, anc most earnestly
long
For calm sleep under the daises2
But if one poor troubled heart can say;
+" His kindness softened my life's rough
way"
And the tears fall over the lifeless clay,
We shall stand up in heaven in brighter
array
Than if all earth rang with our praises.
For the good we have done shall never
fade,
And the wearied frame of the laborer laid
All peacefully under the daises.

FAITHFUL DOGS.
They Care for n Lost Child,
and Warm and Feed Him


Yesterday morning we gave an
account of child wandering ava,
from home on Thursday last, ac-
companied by two dogs. The whole
neigh borhooa had turned cut and
searched night and day without
success, at the time we wrote the
account.
The following is a copy of the
hand-bills struck off and circulated
LOST BOY ITO THE PUBLIC.
Yesterday afternoon. William
Normandy, my son. left my resi-
dence, five miles from Lexington.
on the Salt Pond road. and was
last seen on the road to town. He
is FIVE years of age, wore d dark
wollen coat, dark jeans pants,
patched on the knees, and was fol-
lowed by two dogs; one a black,
and the other of dark yellewish
celor.
Any information regarding his
whereabouts will be thankfully re-
ceived, and will relieve the ankle
ty ola mother and father.
WILLIAM A. SMITH.
LEXINGTON, Mo-, April 2, 70.
From Mr.. M. Carroll, the popu-
lar baggage master of the Lexing-
ton passenger train, we learn the
following particulars of the discov-
cry of the child yesterday morn
ing, which certainly shows the
wonderful sagacity and faithful
ness of the dogs which accompa-
MED him.
AS in our account yesterday, the
last seen of the child was in fence
corner with his dogs. From there
it seems he wandered into the
woods belonging to Judge Woods,
eight miles from Lexington and
three miles from his home. Here,
probably, night overlook the little
wanderer, and darkness closed in
upon him, cold, tired and hungry.
with none to aid him but his faith
full fOur-feoted companions. The
nights at this time OF the year are
too severe for D robust man to he
exposed. and certainly a tender
child almost an infant, would sure.
ly succumb to the biting tempera-
ture.
But there is watchful Provi-
Gence above, and his interposition
in this case seems miraculous. The
faithful dogs, with an instinct that
seems equal to human intelligence,
went TO work and scratched togeth-
er a bed of leaves. Into this the
boy crept. and then the intelligent
animals laid down, one on each
side of him, and kept him warm
through the night with the heat of
their bodies.
Morning came with the boy safe
his guardians remaining at
their post. Though rested and re-
freshed, he was almost fam
ished with hunger. Again
the wonderful instinct Of
the faithful dog was equal to The
emergency. They Sat out forag-
ing, chased and Killed rabbit,
and brought it to their young
charge, laying it at his feet. The
boy eagerly ate of the raw meat,
aud when discovered was busily
engaged in appeasing his hunger.
When the party whe discovered
him endeav0red TO approach the
child the dogs became exceedingly
ferocious, and would not let one Of
them approach him. The boys
father and dogs masterA had to be
sent for before they could get the
child from his noble protectors
The joy of the parents can be
easily imagined, and we will guar
antes to say that all the wealth of
Lafayette county would not pur-
chase one of those dogs.

Judge Davis, of the Supreme
Court, a day or two since expressed
the opinion that General Grant not
only wished "a third term," but
that he would get the nomination
next year from his party! This
shows that it cannot be the mere
moonshine" OF some OF the RepuD-
lican papers, for Judge Davis Is q
keen observer. and this is his de-
libergte judgment,

The speculation in the railway and miscellaneous
shares has been slightly less active and excited than
during yesterday, but 1t can by no means be re-
garlel rs favorable to the buish fraternity, who
are loaded with stocks for the upward movement
anticipated from the .irmness in the Union Pacific
and Pacific Mail favorites, aud the break, begun
yesterday, made further progress to-day, enyeloping
such stocks as New-YorS Central IL per cent lower

mcred, and the ex-director found il impossible to
prevent the price from sinking to 5Ssi. Michigan
Central was active and fcversh. though il did not
sell as low rs yesterday. Western Union Telegraph
touched 7i7s, Rock Island declining to 100. North
West Erie, 81. Paul, Ohio, Missouri Pacific,
and ST. Joseph were dull and heavy, the
general market closing dull and barely
steady. The business Of the day amounted
10 about 49, 900 shares Of which the largest bust
ness was done in Lake Shore, amounting to $4,000
shares. Ii is generally understood that the pool
which has been sustaining Lake Shore at higher
prices has to large extent, if not entirely, disposed

Among those who voted against the
third term were H. c. Burchard, repub-
lican from Grants own town of Galena,
ILL., The list of all the anti-third termers
will reveal some singular Inconsistencies
to people dwelling under the shadow of
the White House
AT the termination Of the voting Blaine
came back 10 his seat, and was heard IA
few minutes later in some new matter
He frankly avowed that he had lodged,
and explained that he could not vote either
way without appearing, in the one case
to be ambitious Of being Grants successor
and in the other of displeasing his friends.
Springer, when complimented on his
masterpiece of strategy and asked how
he had come to introduce the resolution,
said:
GENTLEMEN-I am Methodist, but | am
opposed to a third term. so when Bishop Ha-
ven down there in Boston the other day put
Grant up for another term | thought would
SuON lnc country luil all MtlllOulSlS were MOI
for Grant, and | wanted to see just how Con-
gress stood on the same question.
These are his words Just about as they
dropped from his lips in a conversation
near the Speakers desk after the adjourn
ment. One or two of those who voted
against the resolution say that they did
SO because they considered that the House
had no business with the subject at all
and that it was nonsense. The eighteen
Or, rather, the Northern part OF them
have already begun to feel the force of
ridicule. There is no doubt that the fear
OF losing patronage controlled the votes
of the white Southern republicans who
who voted against the resolution. The
colored members are probably either third
termers or knew that their constituents
are. One. Rainey Of South Carolina, voted
for the resolution. He has not been Il
third termer.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1875-12-23

Our readers will enjoy the sketch
which we publish to-day of the discomlit-
ure of the Republicans by the anti third
term resolution, which was cast like a
lighted bomb shell into the House Of Rep
resentatives last week. The dismay, and
hurrying and skurrying to get out OF the
wav of the missile were most comlcal.
Garfield ran in one direction and Blaine
in another, the latter taking refuge in the
