day, when paying visit. While he
Was talking he noticed somethIr- NOV
ing on the carpet which was neither

that il was fine lobster, dark gray,
spotted with red, and thought that it
must have escaped from the kitchen.

AS a nation we should not, for
our own preservation, teach any
language but the English. TO do
:otherwise would be to establish and
encourage communities, which
would be no more or less than colo
NAL dependencies of foreign coun-
tries, which every sagacious man
must see would be detrimental to
our best national interests. If we
do it for one nationality because of
the numbers, wealth, or influence,
then we must do the same for 9TH
ers, no difference what their orr gin
may be. If the Chinese or Japanese
should come over to this country in
vast numbers, a thing not improba-
bic, then it may be just as important
for us to teach or use their respect
i've languages. 1t will at once be
conceded that such policy would
be National suicide-Ex.

MISCELLANEOUS,

The Oldest man in the Union is
probably Lomer Griffin, Of Lodi,
Medina county, Ohio. His present
wife, his third, whom he married
about twenty-five years ago, puts his
age down at 1o3, but there is evil
dence to show that he is about 1r5
He was born at CRANKY, Litchfeld
county, Conn. His third son, Will
lis Griffin, is in his 76t;, year. Both
father and son are in excellent
health. The father lost his right
arm about forty years ago by the
fall of a tree, but he swings an axe
quite easily with his left hand, and
still shaves himself: He has never
used tobacco in any shape. For
about century he took his "bitters y
regularly, but has recently Sworn
off" to obhge the temperance cru
saders. "

Moral Teaching.

Can we teach morality in school :?
Indeed we can. How? By keeping
good school. By keeping good order we
teach morality; whereas disorderly
religious school is the most irreligious
institution the law can tolerate. By
teaching well we teach morality. Nor
atty is too general term to be used
in speaking with children.
By being kind to children We teach
morality. By acknowledging our own
mistakes we teach morality. By being
frank and natural we teach morality.
In short, if we be tip-top teachers, we
can not help teaching morality.
Children, when they enter school,
know very we'll the difference between
right and wrong, and those from the
most miserable homes are less likely to
be immoral, in the worst sense of the
word, than those Of our best citizens.
The children of the poor are apt to be
sullen and uncouth, but of the worst So
cial vice they are remarkably innocent.
What such children need is the bread
OF good treatment, good government
and di]igent employment.

William married and Jacob came 70
live with him. In time he loved Will
iam's wife and little children very much.
One Of these children became a noble
and useful man. And the two brothers
grew old together, and when they were
not writing books of great learning,
they did that other good thing They
wrote fairy stories for little children.
This story Of bachelor Jacob Grimm
reminds me, l hardly know why, Of the
crusty old bachelor who made a will
leaving his entire fortune to be divided
among the girls who had refused him.

William Grimm's Counting.

A few months ago, Jack told you
story about Jacob Grimm. Now you
shall have something about his brother,
sent to me by your friend, Mr.. Butter
worth:
Some people who write books never
marry. It's a pity, because those who
write books are such good folks. Ja-
cob and William Grimm, who wrote
the fairy stories, were bachelors. They
always lived together and worked to-
gether, and wrote in wonderful con-
tented way before either had a wife or
children. At last, they thought it best
that one Of them should marry. Nei-
Their wanted wife bit-which should

After long waiting, jacob, the older
hr;t:ncr, conclude! to be generous aad
se.f-!o:getfui, anu relieve William of
his share in the difficulty by taking the
burden Of a wife upon himself: So he
selected handsome young lady, but
here he hesitated and delayed, for he
did not like to do the counting. William
thought he would encourage him Il little
by going to see the young lady himself.
He found her so handsome and engaging
that ae Immediately fell in love with
her, a:.1 to his surprise found courtinr
the mos: agreeable thing in the world.
But i.i@ lady WAS jacobs by selection
now what was to be done? Here
WAS trouble again.
An old aunt went to Jacob. verv

William is in love-he cannot
wrong you-what shall he do?''

Will the reader have the goodness
in some leisure hour to sit down and
think over the Canal frauds, the
Credit. Mobilier, the Jayne and
Sanborn business, the Pacific Mail
subsidy, the doings of the Indian Ring
and the leprosy recently brought to
light in the Customs service and In
ternal Revenue Office, and then ans
wer the custom at the head of this
article ? 1t is said the Treasury
has lost a million by the silk SNUG
glers, and two or three millions by
the Whisky Ring, and that these
losses have accrued within twelve or
eighteen months. But every one
who has watched the course of
things knows that the origin of this
corruption dates far back, that the
dark abyss has been explored only
little way, and that the loss of reve-
nue. is to be measured not by mil
lions but by tens of millions. We
look at these events as matters very
different from simple losses OF money
or property. A disastrous fire like
that at Chicago or Boston does
it's work and the nation soon 'recov-
ers, but the things we have men,
toned are moral CONGREGATIONS.
They blacken the good name of our
country and threaten to shiver the
very foundation stones of our free
institutions. They cause foreigners
to point the finger Of scorn at our
Republic. and make the gravest and

THE editor OF the Chattanooga
Times thus mentions a recent CONVEX
sation he had with Senator Overton
relative TO Treasurer 1Iorr0w's estimate
that a tax Of forty cents would meet
ali the States expenses this year, If. the
autlorityof the Governor, Treasurer
and Comptroller TO make temporary
loans should be continued: Senator
Overton said he was willing TO vote for
tax Of 40 cents, but not to
allow the officers TO make temporary
Ioluz, on the ground that people were
trying to ratrencL and reform, ana
they ought to live within their means.
Yet be admitted that all business men,
himself included, often had to antici-
pate their income to save their credit,
and when pressed could give no reason
why the State should not DO the same,
except that the bondbolders could not
compel the State to pay. I must con
fess that I do not see the force Of this
reasoning. Men who are anxious to
relieve the people are willing TO vote
for 40 cents tax, but yet are unwilling
to allow the peoples " the power
to anticipate the peop.cs payments IN
order to save the peoples credit. 1t
certainly looks as if Misrepresentation Of
the State credit was the objsctivePoint
of these statesmen, AMI not the welfare

STATE BANKS AND SOUTHERN
PROSPERITY

The Ne1v York Herald publishes an
able and interesting paper on national
finances from the pen of Hon. R. N.
7. Hunter, Of Virginia, who served as
Chairman Of the United States Senate
Committee on Finance from IS49 to
1861. Reviewing the present system
and its practical workings, Mr.. Hunter
regards the destruction Of the State
banks by Federal legislation as a great
impeachment to Southern prosperity.
For q community which has been ex-
hausted and Frustrated by a desolating
var the first necessity is ability to COM
mand and utilize capital Banks Gre
ate no capital, but they are in
dispensahle agencies for extending and
strengthening credit, and the National
Banking law has virtually deprived the
South Of this great resource by de-
stroyiEs the State banks. Had the
South been able to substitute national
banks IN their place, as the North did,
the evil would have been slight. But
under a system which requires heavy
deposits Of Federal bonds the Southern
people, who were not the owners Of
such bonds, were deprived of the ordi-
nary facilities Of credit. IF the State
banks had been permitted to stand
Southern recuperation would not have
been 50 fatally INSTRUCTED. Banks
could have been organized and secured
on such property as the Southern peo-
pie possessed. The bonds Of their
State Governments, the municipal
bonds Of their cities and the bonds
Of the Southern railroads would have
been available for that purpose, and
numerous local banks could have made
advances to the planters on the strength
of their growing crops and their real
estate. But the property of the plant.
ers could not enable them 10 borrow
money IL distant parts Of the country,
and they were deprived of the great
advantage Of a well organized system
Of home credit.
Commenting On this editoriany, the
Herald asks: What would have been
the condition Of the North if, when the
State banks were destroyed by Federal
legislation, we had been unable to sup
ply their place by other institutions:

HOW TO SOLVE gBlE RAILROAD
PROBLEE.

The article on the "Gailr0ad Prob
lem, copird elsewhere from the st.
Louis Democrat, viii arrrect attention
for its mastery anal Isl o the difficult
ties attending any a. e.-pt to prescribe
beforehand the rates and conditions on
which this business shall be conducted
for any given recess Of two years be
tween our Legislative meetings. 50 far
as we can gather, the charges on all our
roads are within the maximum allowed
bv their charters, while any attempt to
compel them TO carry or forward
freights for irresponsible parties or in
solvent companies will be contested in
the courts. The present condition Of
our State finances suggest rather that
the Legislature should make sure work
Of the railroad tax bill by providing
for an equitable assessment and the
speedy settlement Of all disputed
points that may arise IN this connec-
ton, so that they may assume their
share Of the peoples burden, and that
the relief expected from tins source
may be relied upon. Surely there is
ncugh legal talent in either house TO
draft a bill which, if put to the test,
viii be law-pE0of in every respect.

GRIsT FOR THE OUTRAGE MILL.

GRIsT FOR THE OUTRAGE MILL
When the Civil Rights bill passed
the House, a month ago, We remarked
that we could not indulge the fond an
ticipations Of those who thought it
would prove a dead letter from the mo-
ment OF its signature, and that the
great bulk Of the negroes would seldom
or never demand the social equality
granted by it. Such would indeed be
its fate in the natural order of things.
But the Radicals never leave Southern
affairs to the natural order. A know
ledge that the great mass Of negroes
do not seek these "honors thrust upon
them" should be an incentive with our
people to deal gently with the inferior
race, and In nowise holdthem, as a race,
responsible for the Vaccinations Of our
political oppressors. But negroes and
mulattOes viii be sought and found and
paid to push their way into car, hotel,
theatre and court, In the most defantly
offensive manner. Carpet Dagger and
scalawag viii unite to throw them in
the wayof our young men, more brave
than discreet. Negroes with a smafter-
ing Of "book-larnin" Will be taught ali
the arts Of professional jurors.
The developments of the past few
days should warn us that Nashville
may possibly have been selected for an
effort to precipitate race troubles to be
blaz0ned over the country by telegraph,
to our detriment and that of the entire
South. OF the twelve thousand negro
population in this city, only about half
a dozen have departed from the even
tenor Of their way; but these half doz-
en- have made themselves so conspici-
ously offensive, and are at the same
time so lavish Of small change, that
there can be little doubt concerning the
object and desire OF those who are
backing them IN their new career. The
object Of course Is trouble, bloodshed-
murder, if need be. The manipulatOrs
IN the background care nothing if
their emissaries get killed. The
people Of Nashville do care, and it be-
comes both the citizens and the mu-
nicipal authorities to be on the alert
against this threatened disgrace and
danger. These half dozen negroes we
speak Of thrust themselves into the
places Of public resort most frequented
by our young men. They seem to pre-
fer the night time for their visits,
when the liquor flows more freely and
the blood runs high. They make regu-
lar rounds from saloon to restaurant
and back to saloon, without regard to
expenses. Fortunately, no place of
public amusement has been open, but
they have industriously spread the an.
nOuncement that they intend to oc-
cupy front seats at the minstrel
performance that opens here to-mor-
row evening. Every movement of
these dusky crusaders after Civil Rights
suggests an ingeniously conceived plan
for creating disturbances, and we are
not sure that they are not amenable to
the municipal law for conduct calcula-
ted to provoke a breach of the peace.
Meanwhile our citizens, old and young,
cannot be too cautious, nor the guardi-
ans Of the peace too viglant. The evil
dent purpose Of this Civil Rights raid
is to start the outrage MILF again.
We do not propose raising gris5 for
that mill.

and stating that a large fortune await
ed them in America. Several hundred
claimants have come to the surface, to
the great annoyance Of the United

ants all agree that the fortune IS IN
the shape Of IN immense land grant,
but differ widely as to It's location,
some making It cover the entire city
OF New Orleans, which was Spanish
territory at the time of the supposed
grant, while others locate it among the
