T'att1ing.

In all the black catalogue of vices,
which unhappily .debase the character
of the sons and daughters of Adam, tat
Ting well nigh holds the pre-eminence.
1t is the meanest, the most detestable of
all habits, and when once contracted,
clings as it we're, with the tenacity of
demon. In view of its depravity, and
of the many and fearful vices following
in its train, the Lord commanded Moses
to "speak unto all the CONGREGATIONS of
Israel and say unto them: Thou shalt
not go up and down, as a tale-bearer
among the people," and in the sacred
psalm it is written, "Who so privily
slandereth his neighbor, him will | cut
off,"
The rabid dog, let loose in a commu-
nifty to bite whatever man or beast he
meets, is not AS dangerous as the tattler.
The dog kills only the individual bitten,
while the tattlers's venom poisons mad
ly and fatally, the whole community.
He goes to a neighbor's, and listening
attentively, hears, perhaps, something
said that may be used to the dIsparage-
ment, possibly, the ruin of another,
which he drinks down with the avidity
with which the thirsty topper does the
fiery fluid, ard then goes forth with
venomous tongue to disseminate suspic.
ion, distrust and ranking hate, where
before was the abode of neighborly love
and confidIng trust.
Thus the peace of society is marred,
often disrupted; confidence destroyed;
friends made foes, discord and strife
created, and all the diabolIcal schemes
of the father of lies, used TO destroy all
that is lovely and of good repute, furth-
cred by the tattler, who may we'll be
compared to the viper in the fable, that.
warmed and brought to life by the care
of its kindhearted benefactor, turned
and strung him to the heart.

Mr.. Stanton and Gen. Sherman.
From the N. Y. Sun

In the account of the great review at
Washington at the end of the war, which
Gen. Sherman gives in his Memoirs, he
states that he refused to shake hands
with Secretary Stanton when he met
him there upon the grand stand, occn-
pied by the President, the Cabinet, and
other officials, and invited guests. Il
shook hands," says Sherman, with the
President, Gen. Grant and each member
of the Cabinet. AS / approached Mr..
Stanton he offered me his hand, but /
declined it publicly, and the fact was
universally noticed" OF course Gen.
Sherman here states his own recollec-
ton. bu. he is entirely mistaken, as we
think; and we dare say there are wit
nesses of the affair who will confirm our
impression.
At any rate, we can speak for one who
stood very near to the President at that
time and saw the scene which Gen.
Sherman describes. Knowing what had
passed between Sherman and Stanton
this gentleman watched them very close
ly. There was no offer on the part of
Mr.. Stanton to shake hands with Gen.
Sherman, nor any approach to a friend
ly salutation: Looking sternly but
quietly at the General, the Secretary of
War barely inclined his head without
any mark of personal recognition, as il
mere stranger had come upon the
stand. His hand was not extended to-
ward General Sherman, nor even rails
ed. He had no wish to shake hands
with Sherman, and no thought respect
ing him, except that he was a man dan
gerous to his country whose rreaump-
tuous ambitious he had just been able
to put down, and he treated him accord
| ingly.
There was certainly no friendly feel
ing in Mr.. Stanton's mind toward Sher-
man at any time after his treaty with
Johnston had reached Washington. Not
that he had, so far as we are aware, any
personal antagonism toward him. His
motive was higher; although we thought
at the time, and still think, that his
judgment of Sherman's motives was
] too severe.

The glorious reception that the South
ern military guests Of Boston received
will do good throughout the South. 1t
is one of those things that tell a great
deal of good will. The greetings in the
splendid streets of Boston of Confeder-
ate soldiers from South Carolina and
Virginia with "Auld Lang Syne" tonch-
ed the heart. The Boston advertiser
says of the march of the Charleston
Light Infantry up State street, sit was
like holiday" and everywhere there
was token of enthusiastic and happy
welcome" The South Carolinians had
the old Eutaw flag, which is thus de-
scribed:
"Ihe EGtaw flag is fringed square
of crimson brocade, which has story.
As regiment of South Carolina troops
were marching to the battle Of Eutaw,
a lady asked the commander where their
flag was; he said they had none, where
upon she Immediately cut from the
back of chair this very square of
crimson, and the regiment bore it into
the glorious fight"
The Boston Advertiser concludes
leader on this occasion thus happily:
"Ah, now, indeed, after so many years
of estrangement and undreamed of per-
lis and suffering, we see fulfilled that
splendid and prophetic utterance of
Abraham Lincoln in March, 1861: we
are not enemies, but friends. We must
not be enemies-though passion may
have strained, it must not break our
bonds Of affection. The mystic chords
of memory, stretching from every bat
tlefield and patriot grave to every living
heart and hearth-stone all over this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus OF
the Union, when again touched, as sure
ly they will be, by the better angels of
our nature"

The Terre Haute Journal has an ar
ticle on this subject, from which we clip
the following:
The interest on Sc, 900 is equal to the
average wages of a man. To own $4,000
is better than to owns s. man, for the
money does not die.-And he who has
Sc, 900 under our present money system,
own a man, for somewhere a man is
working to pay the interest. Commodore
Vanderbilt, with his eighty millions,
owns thirteen hundred men.
While the wealth of the country is
increasing at the rate about four per
cent per annum, capital exacts tribute
of not less than fifteen per cent on an
average. If this process continues, all
of the property of the country will be
in the hands of the capitalists inside Of
twenty years. The result is just as easi-
ly demonstrated as the multiplication
table. Under our present system the
poor are steadily getting poorer and the
rich richer. With four per cent earnings
and fifteen per cent cost 1t follows that
somebody sinks eleven per cent, year,
and that somebody is always the produc-
er. This would make collapse once in
about eight years, but for various rea-
sons parics have been spread about ten
years apart, usually. The fact that
We have not had a disastrous panic

A man who passed too much of his
time in riotous flute-playing was recent
Iy brought before a judge of the Tombs
Police Court, New York. The justice
took occasion to speak of the terrible
effects OF the practice as illustrated in
the person of young acquaintance of
his. "There is" said the justice, "a
young man of educa ion and talent on
my street, young man who would
adorn any station in life to which he
might be called, but he is so thoroughly
abandoned to this enthralling and de-
basing vice that he will sit in his room
at night and play "Way down upon the
Suwanee River" till there amt boot
jack at home in the ward and the air ia
heavy with profanity. Some night that
young man will get an internal machine
by mail, or he will be killed en- his
road home by some patriot nobler than
Brutus and he will be borne to an un-
timely and unhonored futist's grave. In
England up to the time of George w
flute players were whipped, pilloried,
branded with red hot futlng- iron in
the mouth and hanged. In France, so
late as the reign of Louis XVI, the
habitual huter was torn to pieces by
wild horses. In the palmy days of Ro-
man civilization, fute-players, Christ
ian martyrs, defrauding revenue collec-
tors, boys that threw bricks at police
men and people who participated in
spelling-schools, were exposed to wild
beasts and butchered to make Roman
holiday"

A New Rape of the Lock.

A most malicious, mischievous and
daring theft occurred at the residence of
a Fifth avenue merchant, at Oakland, a
few afternoons ago, whereby fascinat
ing and pretty damsel lost luxurious
head of natural golden hair. She was a
guest at her friends house, and after a
dinner nap arose to find herself as desti-
tute of hair as an infant. She was fright
ened at her own appearance, and alarm
ed the household with her screams of
terror and lamentation. A thorough
search of the dwelling was fruitless, nor
was any trace discovered of the stolen
hair. The affair is involved in mystery.
No stranger was seen about the premises
that day, and the girl was entirely un-
conscious of the malicious theft until
the discovery of her loss was made. 1t
is conjectured that she was drugged, and
that no Impractical hand performed the
operation. A singular feature of the
mystery is that whoever committed the
theft seemed only to covet the golden
ringlets, as an abundance of valuable
jewelry and small sum of money on an
uncovered table in the room remain un-
touched This latter circumstance leads
to the further conjecture that some jeal-
GUS girl sought, in this more despicable
than romantic way, to deface the beauty
of the afflicted damsel by robbing her Of
its conspicuous glory.-[Pittsburg Gaz-

Jesse James at Dinner.

At this time anything connected with
the James boys is of interest to the pub
lie, and We give the following account
of how Jesse James appeared at house
only few days prior to the affair near
Kearney. He rode up in front of the
house about noon, and asked the propri-
etor, whom he knew, if he could get din
ner. Being replied in the affirmative,
he asked if there were any dangerous
people around, and the answer being
satisfactory, he looked carefully in all
directions and then dismonnted. He
entered house and walked to a back
door, opened il and looked around quiet
ly remarking that he wanted to know a
way TO retreat if it became necessary.
He carried fine Henry rife with him.
and after removing his great coat, the
butts of five large six-shooting REM
ington revolvers were disclosed, show
ing that, with the rife, he had forty-six
missiles of death ready for anyone COM
ing to interfere with his liberty.
When his dinner was announced, he
again looked out at the doors, and then
seated himself at the table, with the
rifle across his lap, dispatched his meal
with hearty relish, and in the most
unconcerned manner possible, save with
an occasional glance through the win
dowa, keeping mp, meanwhile, pleasant
conversation with his host.

How Marbles Are Made.

The chief place of the manufacture of
marbles-those little pieces of stone
which contribute so largely to the en-
joyment of boys-is at Oberstein, on the
Nahe, in Germany, where there are
large agate mills and quarries the refuse
of which is turned to good paying ac-
count by being made into small balls,
employed by experts to knuckle with,
and are mostly sent to the American
market. The substance used in Saxony,
is hard, calcareous stone, which is first
broken into blocks, nearly square, by
blows with a hammer. These are
thrown by the hundred or two into a
small sort of mill, which is formed of a
fat, stationary slab of stone, with a
number of eccentric burrows upon its
face. A block of oak, or other hard
wood, of the diametric size, Is placed
over the stones and partly resting upon
them. The small block of wood is
kept revolving while water flows upon
the stone slab. In about fifteen minutes
the stones are tarned into spheres, and
then, being fit for sale, are henceforth
called marbles. One establishment,
with but three mills turns out sixty
thousand marbles each week.

Drawback Skirts.

Some of the women are in ecstacies
over the pull-back style of the dresses
now -a-days. Says one of 'em: "Wo-
man has certainly evoluted a little out
of the original sin. At last you see, in
broad daylight, her legs, her arms, her
whole natural shape. Undoubtedly we
shall retrograde trihe, but progress is
our watchword, and the eye of prophecy
beholds, in future Eden, women robed
in garments which will allow the free
actions of all the organs, for all are
honorable Therefore, rejoice with me
that my sex once more dares to show
Adam the woman-not bundle of rags,
but the form divine, in its beauty and
grace, and pray with me that the day il
not far distant, when the legs, now tied
back, be emancipated, the arms, now
trussed like fowl. be allowed to move
to the melody of bodily motion, and
through the recovered laws of health, g
new woman constitution formed, to
which she shall cling with AndyJohn-
son tenacity for ever and ever"

We ALI Have Our Satans.

Each one of us has different Satan.
Satan comes to one man in the form Of
idleness, and makes him waste day after
day, year after year, until he has wasted
his whole life doing nothing. Satan
comes to another man as work, and
makes him destroy himself in the oppo-
site way, wearing out prematurely his
brain and his body. He comes to an
other as Christian zeal, and the man be-
comes bigot, full of fire for the Lord;
but the Lord he serves is God of wrath,
a God who cares for triAes, God who
prefers sacrifice to mercy. He comes to
another as charity, but it il a charity
which tolerates evil and lets it alone,
which has no edge to it, no courage; an
indolent charity, which is not love at
all, but only easy good nature. So he
disguises himself as an angel of light,
calling himself patriotism when he
wishes to make nations hate each other;
calling himself Christianity when he
wishes to make men persecute each 9th
er; calling himself honesty when he
wishes to encourage a man in his rude
and overbearinig ways; and so on, chang
ing himself into every virtue and every
grace.-[Jame Freeman Clarke.
