Telegraphing by Word of Mouth.

We recollect one instance in our army
experience when very serious case of
muddle repetition occurred in which no
type-setter was concerned. In the
march of the army of the Potomac up
the Peninsula, the first rebel encamp-
ment captured was at Harwood's Mills,
which the enemy abandoned and fell
back to their entrenchments in front OF
Petersburg. This camp was but pick
ct line, along which winter quarters had
been built, and which proved very
handy for tired troops to occupy for a
day or two, then burn and advance on
the march that Mcclellan said would
soon drive the enemy to the wall.
Here for the first time was tried the
system of passing messages along the
picket line by word of mouth" Gen.
Hancock's headquarters were that even
ing the headquarters of the left wing
of the army. Two belated teams, that
had been out foraging for coarse fodder
for rebel animals had not heard of the
evacuation by their troops and in the ev-
ening drove inside our lines with wagons
well laden with cornstalks They were
captured by the videttes taken to the
nearest reserve and an orderly despatch
ed to inform the commanding General.
Soon after his arrival there the order
was started along the picket line "Send
the two teamsters to Gen. Hancock s
headquarters under guard" Along
the Vermont line the message passed
with tolerable correctness. Then it
went the length of the Irish brigade,
" Send them two sisters to Gen. Han
cock, the head center" Then it trav-
ersed the 20th New York's German
line, Save dem swie layers for Han
cocks headquarters" and when the
mysterious message got as far out along
the line as the regiment guarding the
corral, where the detail was butchering
cattle for the next days ration, the
sturdy pickets gave the order, Save
for Gen. Hancock the two best hind
Quarters. Bennington Banner.

the clothing business in Atlanta, are
interviewed by customer in search of

the new conner and soon finds "a first

the respond is, Eighteen dollars,
"Well, sir, | like your coat very
much, but don't like the price"
Well, mine trent, re price is noting
so you like the coat. We let you take
them at fifteen dollars"
The customer still complains of the
price saying that fifteen dollars was too
much. This was too heavy for the
dealer, so taking. his customer to the
extreme end of the store, and drawing
him into dark corner he whispered in
his ear
/" Mine trent, | let you have Eat coat
for twelve dollars and a half"
"Well, sir" said the customer, 81

Gen, Sam Houston's Last Parade.


Perley, writing from Marshall, Texas,
April %, 1875, to the Boston Journal
has the following;
General Houston, whose name the
city bears, used to reside in its vicinity
during the war of the rebellion, and was
that rara avis, Southern Union man,
He fought secession until Texas had Sc
ceded, only seven delegates in the State
Convention having voted may" and
never failed to express his regrets that
she had left the Union to which he was
so devoted. Among other anecdotes il.
Illustrating the contempt which the Hero
of San Jacinto entertained for those who
had dragged out of the Union the State
which his valor had beon so instrument
al in creating was this:
DIR. Ashbel Smith, who was the diplo.
matte representative of Texas when she
was an Independent nation, at Mondon
and at Paris, and who was rather toe
old to take the field in 81, raised com
pany for home defence, which he called
the " Belan Guards" General Hous
tons son was one of the members, anC
persuaded his father to witness the frs
parade, which was attended by all th'
people for miles around, especially th,
ladies. Dr. Smith drilled his men fol
some time, and then, in accordance witt
a generally expressed wish, asked Gen
eral Houston if he would not take com
mand for while.
The martial music and the clang o
arms had stirred the blood of the olc
hero, and he came to the front as erec
as drill sergeant. Looking up ant
down the line before him, he command
ed in stentorian voice:
Belan Guards! Attention."
This was different from the mild ant
gentlemanly manner of DIR. Smith. ant
the command stood motionless, Will
the gossip among the spectators wa
hushed. Soon came another order
Belan Guards Eyes right Do you

Texas in the Senate of the Confederat
States. After a pause, Houston agail
thundered forth:

Belan Guards Eyes left ! Do yo,
see William S. Oldham? mol You can
: see him now, and the nearer you get
the enemy the less chance you will hav
of seeing him p
Then salutlng DIR. Smith with the can
which he had carried as a sword, tn

Under the tree the farmer said,

Cherries are ripel but then, you know,
There's the grass to cut and the corn 10 hoe
We can gather the cherries any day,
But when the sun shines we must make our hay;
Tonight when the chores have all been done

Perking and cooking his saucy head

Well gather them while you make the hay;
For we are the boys with no corn TO hoe,

ANCIENT JOURNALISM The first
Roman newspaper, over 1000 years
ago, appeared only once year. This
paper, intended especially to be read
by the public, was known by the
title Ann0les Maeinai. The editor
of this paper was the Pontrifex Max
linus, whose duty it was to chronicle
all important events of the year.
The news was written on white
wooden tablets, and attached to the
residences of citizens. But the thirst
after knowledge and the curiosity
of the people grew rapidly, and in
such measure that the government,
the only issuer Of the journal, found
itself obliged to issue a daily. It is
very interesting to know that someo
these journals, haIng reached o,041
years, are still in existence.

When Secretary Bristow was put
in charge Of the United States Treas
ury, many Democratic papers ven
tured to speak well of him. Why,
we cannot tell. unless because their
partisan hate for Richardson was SO
intense that any change afforded
them relaxation and relief. But now,
at Bristow's first official act Of i'm
portance-the punishment Of distil-
lers for defrauding the revenue
these same Democratic papers are
launching the most violent abuse at
Bristow. They say he is trying to
make himself popular as candidate
for the Presidency. And this two
faced style of treatment comes from
men who are continually bowling
about corruption in the Republican
party. - WalWorth County indie

fit and most willing to learn-just when they
feel that it is their last chance for schooling
For these we plead.
Among the more prominent dangers viii
be, at starting. the selection of incompe eni
teachers. A teacher who merely does well
in mixed school, will be wholly inadequate
to the exact ard systematic training requir
ed in these schools and relationship to one
or more members Of the beard will be one
Of the aOorst qualifications that can be named
How long will districts continue to submit
to nepotism Ordinarily, board who will
hire relative of any oDe of them to teach,
ought to be asked to resign.
Another difficulty will be to determine the
qualifications for admission. The tendency
will be to make the standard too low, and
thus put too great drain on the separate
districts, and cucumber the school with too
many classes. This subject will, hereafter,
deserve close attention.
We must not start off with too high no.
items Of expensive buildings. Give us the
school firss, and then the house may be de-
manded. The American method of starting
a school by a pile of empty but expensive
buildings, must be abandoned. Let our
first expense be for competent teachers !;
secure school of living pupils-not dead
brick and then, when success is assured,

And, after all, shall we have any High
Schools ? No, not for years, save In a few Of
the more populous districts, whore graded
schools have long been established. The
schools We shall have. will be, for the pres
emf, higher schools, and real High Schools
will be the outgrowth. This question
needs. and am happy to say, receives some
notice.

the leading points suggested by this Lew

GOVERNMENT AND GOOD LOOKS.
What is female beauty ? In
what does it consist ? 1t is not in
pearl powder, nor in hair dye. nor
in jewelry. 1t cannot be got into a
bottle or box. 1t is pleasant to
be handsome, but all beauty is not
in prettiness. There is higher
beauty that makes us love people
tenderly. Eyes, nose, hair or skin
never did that yet. though it is pleas
ing TO see fine features. What you
are will make your face ever for you
in the end, whether nature has made
it plain or pretty. Good people
are never Unlocking. Whatever
their faces may be, an amiable ex-
preston atones for all. IF they can
be cheerful also no one will love
them the less because their features
are not regular or because they are
too fat, or too thin, too pale or toe
dark. Cultivation of the mind adds
another charm to their faces and
on the whole, if any girl is DESTROYS
Of being liked by the many and
loved by the one, it is more in her
power than she may believe to ac-
oomplish that object. Cosmetics
will not accomplish if, however.
Neither will fire dress though a
woman who does not dress becom-
ingly wrongs herself. Forced smiles
and affected amiability will be of no
avail ; but if she can manage to
feel kindly to everybody, not to be
jealous, not to be cross, to be happy
if possible, and TO encourage con-
tentment, then something will come
into her face that will outlast yoUth's
roses and gain her not only a hus-
band but lifelong lover.

ELI PERKINS TELLS A STORY OF
Mr.. BEECHER. - The following is
from New York letter in the Chi
cage Inter. Ocean, from Eli Perkins
"About thirty years ago." said
Mr.. Beecher to me to-day, 'when [
was running little church in Indi-
ana - let's see, Lawrenceburg, [
think, was the place. had some
queer experience. Lawrenceburg is
on the Ohio river, say thirty five
miles below Cincinnati. In these
times, away back in the 40's, food
was cheap and plenty, but money
was scarce. / had been taking the
Observer, [ remember, till / owed
them fifteen or eighteen dollars. This
debt weighed on my mind good
deal. [ didn't know now to raise
the money, and still [ couldn't do
without the luxury Of my weekly
paper"
"What did you do, Mr.. Beecher?"
[ asked.
"Well, / had business calling me
to New York, and while there ran in
to see the editor. [ told him / was
young and poor, and couldn't spare
the money to pay my subscription
very WE'LL"
"Well, SIR" commenced the edi-
tor petulantly, show do you propose
to do? You don't expect us to fur

mo, SIR said |, 'but if you will

letters from the West, and Go my
level best to make them worth fifteen
dollars"
.'And you really wrote SIX letters
once for fifteen dollars, Mr.. Beecher?"
Iasked.
mo, worse than that, Eli !; |
didn't write them. The editor looked
at me cautiously from head to foot,
as if measuring my mental capacity,
and then repeated slowly:
six letters for t i-f-t-e. EN- dollars,
you say, young man 7"
eyes, sir; six for fifteen"
Wall, sir, "he said, slowly scratch
ing his ear and shaking his head;"
don't know much obout you, aid /
don't think we can run the risk"
"This made me quite crestfaIlen,
said Mr.. Beecher, laughing. II re-
member how l unrolled my pocket
book and counted out that fifteen
dollars, and when [ strol!ed out of
that newspaper Office, with my head
down and heart swelling, I thought
if / could ever get rich enough to
take all the newspapers | wanted to,
I would be the happiest preacher in
Indiana"

Beecher, show times have changed
