DAVID CRosIT has resided in Eenoska forty
years-forty years next DC tober During the
forty years he has never been back to the East
whence he came. Last Monday he started to
Washington County New York-the place of his
boyhood. He ''going to see the old hills once
more'' And be- will see them-See them chang
ed. Forty years Of sun and cloud, wind and
blow, rain and snow, freeze and thaw, melting
snow ami running waters, and all the disinter
grating powers, will have mace changes in the
old hills. And they may be changed by the
works of man. And they may be changed in ap-
pearanee more than in the real. Still the old
hills-what is left Of them-will be there.
But what of the old people? VIII any OF
th6ns be there The old people of forty years ago
will be gone. All of them-or nearly all. They
will not be there visibly. They will have gone
to tie hill tops and beyond. They will have
.crosssd the yer and landed on the Evergreen
Shore. They will have reached the Happy
Hunting Grounds and have homes in the
Beautiful Summer Land.
few OF the MIDDLE aged may be there, but
more OF them will have gone on with the old.
Some of the young men and young women may
be there, but they will not be young. Many OF
them Will not be there. Some will have gone to
other climes and some to the Evergreen S1ore.
Some of the children may be there, but they will
be children no longer. They viii be men and
women of middle age at least
All the people will have changed-changed
more than the hills. But there may be some OF
people and there will be something of the hills
left And Mr.. Crosit may find some Of the PEG
pie and some of the hills which he will remern-
Der and know. We hope he may, and that he
may enjoy his visit with the old and with the
new. We say, with the new, for there will be
new there. New people, and new events, and
new thiEgs-,all new corners since forty years
ago. they are the successors of the people and
events, and things of forty Years ago. And how
different the successors from tae prede cessors
Change. how great Progress, onward! Time
has done the work Of forty years, and behold the
change, Pehold and and abide it. All is well.

Harper's Weekly: The election of 1876
will be decided not by the promises
made b. any party, bat 10y the percep-
ton of the character Of the men and the
Influences th.t control the Republican
nomination. The people know The ira
dilions ami tendencies and clements and
spirit that necessarily lie behind any
Democratic candidate whatcvcr. They
know also that the Republican party
contains the sound, progressive, inteIli-
gent element, thoroughly in sympathy
wIth he American principle and with
the renewed spirit Of the Constitution,
which ought t. control the government,
now that the war has swept away all
the reason that the Democratic party
had for existing at all. But If they see
that that element in the Republican par
~ does not command it, everything
seems to show that they Will undoubted-
is decide, not that the Democratic party
is more trusty, or honest, or patriotic,
bat that they can not sustain Il party
which, while retaining the Republican
name betrays the Republican tradition.
For sach a result they, and they only,
viii be responsible who by whatever
means and under whatever pretense,
force the party into position which
many Of the Oldest, truest and sagaciuus
Republicans would feel themselves
Obliged by honor and conviction to dis
approve.

The shGsc Of Public Men.

Papers that indulge in scurrilous at
taclls on prominent officials would do
well TO rememb Der that they repeat an
Old bark which shows what tribe they
belong to. Washington, in the closing
year of hls administration, was assaulted
by the bitlerest vituperations, especial
~ by q Philadelphia editor, John
Adams was attacked IN scurrilous man
ner by score of papers. Jefferson and
Madison were abused in the most shame

Mr.. Monroe fortunately escaped detract-
ion bat his successor, John g. adams,
one Of the purest men and irnest
patriots, was made the target for black
ening accusations and singing diatrlbcs
by the papers Of all sections. There is
nothing in the press Of our day that can
be compared with the acrimony and
denunciation poured on the head Of An

country for six months and helped elect
his successor, though they were manu-
featured by Representative Oglc, who
confessed they were unfounded before
he died. Harrison was elected by the
use OF the most INSCRIPTIONS and malic-
ious abuse OF a gentleman whose private
life and pablo career were alike above
reproach. The scurrllity Of the base at

membered, though they dropped com
paratiyely harmless, hurting none but
those who made them.

Early Migration 10 America.

1t is generally believed BY antigua ri
ans that the early settlers in the United
States who built the mounds in the
Western States were Of the same race
that built the pyramids Of Coahuily and
Mira, and the temples of Hucatan. Mex
leo and Peru. Until quite recently no
Investigations had thrown light on the
origin Of this race, or how they reached
America. Blu; soma curious facts lately
learned, are very suggestive.
In mound in the Mississippi Valley
was found vessel, thirteen inches high.

surface four pairs ofsllelcton hands 4
sailor, who saw il accidentally, said il
was an exact pattern of water coolers
nsed by the Malay Islanders. The finder
of the urn learned, by experiment, that
il was admirably fitted for this purpose
and made ice needless in Arkansas. An
idol was found in another mound in Ten
neSSee, which is a perfect likeness of the
idols used in Japan. A kind of wild
wheat grows in the neighhorhood of
Memphis which is Identical with some
wheat raised in the same vicinity from
grains taken from q sarcophagus in
Egypt. Such facts seerl 10 prove that
ihis race Of mound builders must have
come 10 America from the eastern coas,
pf Asia, or from Egypt. The migration
sras probably to the Pacific rather than
10 the Atlantic coast.

The London Times takes editorial no.
tice Of the recent centennial celebrations
in this country Of the battles OF licking
ton and Concord, and, while it thinks
that the centennial anniversary
of the Declaration Of Independence
will present "Philadelphia az its newest
and noisiest, and will rather suggest a
contrast between the representative ciu-
zen Of the present and the grave forms
OF Hancock and his colleagues" il takes
very calm and philosophical view Of
the Lexington and Concord celebration,
considering them as very commendable,
and hoping they VIII not effect in any
way the friendly relations between the
two countries. But on the other hand,
that "by the time the Americans come
TO celebrate The Convention Of York
town, the prejudices of a hundred years
will have vanished" IN the course Of its
article, the Times cannot refrain from
making the following quiet but very
palpable hlt at an American weakness:

North, and all the subordinate instru-
ments OF British tyranny mast have
