THREE WORDS OF FAITH.


Three words will tell you, of meaning fulli
The lips OF many shout them;
Yet were they born OF no sect or school,
'Tis the heart that knows about them.
That man is of every worth bereft
In those three words who has no falth lett.
MAN is free born and is free alway,
Even were he born in fetters.
Let not the m0b's cry lead you astray,
Nor the misdeed, OF frantic upset ers.
Fear not the slave when he breaks his pands;
Fear no'hins vom any free mans h"Aas,
And VIRTUE-it is no empty sound,
That a man can obey her. no folly;
Even II he stumble all over the ground,
He yet can follow the holy
And what never wisdom OF wise men knew
A childlike spirit can SIMPLY do.
And O GOD there is-a steadfast VIII,
However the human shrinketh;
High over space and time he still,
The live Thought, doth what he tbiDketh.
Though all things keep circling, to change
confined,
He keeps in all changes changeless mind
These three words cherish-of meaning full;
From mouth to mouth send them faring;
Although they spring from no sect or school.
Your hearts them witness are bearing.
And man is never of worth bereft
While yet he has faith in these three words
left.

From this it necessarily followed that

worthy of note. BY watching the

Bigwood does not seem to have watched
the heavens sufficiently closely in the

Court CatITinDS.

George w. Small submitted an action
before the Court, Saturday, against A.
B. Diehl to recover services as book
keeper in the latter's employ. The jury
rendered a verdict in his favor for $148.
The Commercials suit against the Com
mittee on Police and Prisons. to recover
for thirty-two dollars worth of adver-
tising, resulted in verdict tor the de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Wolf, tor the defendants,
asked that the Court instruct the jury
thus:
/. That the plaintiff, in order to re-
cover, must prove, by preponderance
of evidence, that the defendants, either
in person or their authorized agents, au-
thorized the advertisement for which the
suit is brought.
Agreed to by Mr.. Sage.
2. That the City Of Cincinnati has a
contract with the Enquirer, Voiksfreund
and Times to do the advertising for the
city; and no special instructions being
given by the defendants to advertise in
the Commercial. and Mr.. Rohner, the
Clerk, having oldered the advertisement
in the Commercial without special in
structlops from said Committee, the jury
must find verdict for the defendants.
Not admitted by the prosecution.
8. The Clerk, MIR. Rohner, acted either
as the agent of tine city, or as the private
agent of the defendants; if he acted as
the agent of the city the defendapts are
not liable, and there must be verdict
for the defense.
4. If the jury should find that Mr.. Rob-
ner, the Clerk of the Council, acted as
the private agent of defendants, they
must further lind that he had special in.
structions from them to advertise in the
Commercial.
The case will now be appealed and
taken before the Common Pleas Court
for final hearing.

tional ministry is the esteemed clergy
man who has long been settled at Attle-
borO.
Amidst all her wanderings and hard
ships she never forgot that be was not
her father, or that her right name was
Harrington. She assumed her own name
as soon as Mr.. Perce died, she then be.
ing about fourteen years Of age, ana at
once set herself to work to learn II possi-
bic, the whereabouts Of her father ana
other relatives, should any of them be
alive. She said nothing TO her mother
about her efforts in this direction, but
having somehow gotta idea that she had
resided in Boston, she at different times
got friends to write to parties In that
city, making inquiries, which, Of course,
resulted in nOlhing. After repeated fall
ures she gave up the task, though ever
alive to anything that might, perhaps,
put her upon the right track. Aiter Mr..
Perce's death, her mother sometimes
spoke OF her relatives, but never yolun-
teered any information in the matter,
and she did not think worth while to
ask for it. Time passed on, she grew to
womanhood, and finally married Mr..
Nat. G.. Barter, business manager Of the
Sentinel and Pioneer, Fort Scott, Kan
sas, where she now resides.

ing for two children were not sufficient
10 erase the intense longing to find her
relatives. Her mother had frequently
spoken of her family within a few years.
aud Mrs. Barter had learned the names
"Studley" and "Harding'' as among
them, and when, not long ago, her moth.
er spoke of a desire to visit her sister in
Providence the first time Mrs. Barter had
ever heard the name Oft is city mentioned
in this connection), inspired with new
hope, she at once took means to learn ii
any of her relatives were yet living. Her
husband, being a newspaper man, and
having full faith in the virtue of adver'
Using, sent the notice for publication in
the Journal and Bulletin, with the joyful
result stated above. Another pleasant
incident connected with this matter is
the discovery by Mrs. Barter that hei
sister, who was year or two older than
she, is married and now living out West
not five hundred miles from her own
home, whom she has already visited,
and where the mother'is now living, hav
ing been offered home with the child to
whom she had been dead for rtwenty-three
years. This story seems wonderful be-
yond belief, and it is also wonderful that
of the two families at that time made
desolate, every member except Mr
Perce is now alive.

THE New York Herald proposes th at
the Southern universities and colleges
be invited to join with those of the North
In the regattas of next year. The prop
psition is an excellent one and II
promptly acted upon and the invitations
many Southern institutions of learning
and their members and supporters in the
contest, but would have a good effect in
more extended point OF view. The
centennial gatherings at different points
thus far have resulted in renewed
warmth of feeling between the two
sections such as had not existed
for many years prior to the war.
Every gathering OF this kind by
which the citizens of the two sec-
tions are brought together and this fra
ternal feeling cultivated, tends to unite
them more closely and to add to the
unity of feeling in the country. Any
project which will tend to draw to-
gether the rising generations of both
sections, and especially the more in
telligent ones Of that class and the ones
who are likely to become the leading
minds in the future of our great Nation,
should be promptly acted upon and
everything possible done to further it.
The earnest students of to-day are to be
the leading Statesmen and business men
of the future, and any and every means
of promoting a bond of National love
and brotherhood among this class all
over the country should be promptly
made use OF. Boating has not been
prnctieed by the Southern colleges to so
great an extent as among those in the
North, but there are already several
good rowing clubs, and an invitation
issued now, year before the match
comes off, would result in the organiza-
lion Of numbers of clubs and in large
attendance Of Southern students at the
races next year.

Nthe best k4oWn sporting men in the
country, George ". Hill, better known as
Cooley Keys" died, in New York on
Wednesday of consumption, aged thirty
nine. He was brass founder by trade. but
had been professional gambler for twen-
ty years. His remarkable GOODNESS and
his former connection with the brass foun-
dry suggested the name of s'COoley Keys"
Hill first became proprietor of a gambling
house in 1860, in Washington city, and he
soon made it yield Il larger revenue than
any other in that city, his customers being
mainly the wealthiest class OF politicians.
Near the close of 1851 lie sold his gambling
house IN the federal city land going to New
York opened a house with Lee Knight and
John c. Heenan, playing what they styled
a combination game to rival if not ruin
John Morrisseys The partners lost $3.50
600 in less than six months, and then clos
ed their house. Then two influential New
York politicians fitted up d palace for Hill
in that city, themselves being silent part
ners, and for two years the house success
fully rivaled Morrissey,s, yielding to Hill
alone thirty or forty thousand dollars a
year clear profit. A quarrel broke the
partnership and the house was closed At
Ter this Hill passed his time playing against
the game instead of dealing, and lost what
he. had made, dying poor. He was noted
for his extravaganza in dress, and he was
known as the best dressed man IN New
York. He once sent to Paris and import
ed for his own use shirt bosoms that cost
$50 dozen, gold. He kept three chang
es of clothes for every day. He bought

PRESIDENT GRANT ON THE MEXICAN
QUEsTION.-The statement of President
Grant don't amount to much with the
public since his lodging about sending
Sheridan to New Orleans, but we give
what he says about the charge that he is
trying to get up a war with Mexico, add
ing the fact that he has already sent Sheri-
dan to New Orleans to be near there:
The lntlmation OF Il purpose on the part
OF the administration to annex any portion
of Mexico the President said was so SUI
premely ridiculous as scarcely to merit
notice. The President said that the most
ignorant person would know that any such
design, even if entertained, must receive
the assent of Congress before being execu-
ted. The President repeated what was
stated in these dispatches week ago, that
although disorders undoubtedly prevailed
on the Texan borders it was also very pro-
bahle That their extent was considerably
exaggerated. He said that before these
matters could be made the subject of dip
lomatH correspondence between our gov
eminent and that of Mexico we must be
in possession of authentic details The
Secretary OF State has been absent from
Washington since the receipt of the first
intelligence on this subject, and therefore
the President and he have had no consulta-
ton concerning it, When the President is
fully advised of the acts, he will then de-
termlne what action to take.

The pictures have for nearly hundred
years been in the possession of the Wash
ington family. The portrait of General
Washington was painted in the federal
camp during the siege Of Boston by Charles
Wilson Peale, and presented to the gen.
eral. Some years later, at the time of the
first presidency. the portrait Of Martha
Washington was painted, and the two pic
lures were enclosed in the present case,
with the hair Of Gen. Washington and his
wife, and presented by Washington to his
sister, Mrs. Betty Lewis. Upon the death
of Mrs. Lewis the miniature descended to
her daughter, Mrs. Carter, and from her
were handed down to her grandson, Mr..
John II. Patterson, son Of Eleanor Carter,
the granddaughter Of Mrs. Betty Lewis.
