Mr.. MORRISON, Of Illinois, clair
man oathe Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House, is an illustration
Of the way that the true Democratic
instinct will manifest itself, even
when it would seem to be policy to
disguise it, In writing brief histo-
ry of his life for insertion in the Con-
gressional Directory, Mr.. Morrison
took great care to leave out the fact
that he was a soldier in the Union
army during the rebellion. 1t is pre-
sumed that he is ashamed to have
his present colleagues know that he
fought for the Union, Il majority of
them having borne arms against it.
Again, h. chose as the clerk of his
committee the son of rebel soldier
who named his first child born after
Mr.. Lincoln's assassination, "John
Wilkes Booth" Mr. Morrison seems
to be taking the right course to in
eratiate himself with The ruling ele-
ments of his party.

Hon. JAS. HARLAN and Hon. Hiram
Price occupied the same pew in tho
9Th street Nj. E Church, at Des
Moines, last Sunday, and our bland
friend Dennis n. Cooley was seated
in another not far of, looking the
unctuous chadband that he is. The
officiating clergyman, not deferred by
the presence of the trio, and evident
ly referring to the Senatorial cohorts,
who were making the Slavery Horse
their battle ground. solcmnly said,
"My friends, there are one thousand
sinners in Des Moines to day, and
more are expected tomorrow" The
aspirants for the Senatorship looked
at each other, and then both toward
Cooley, and sighed, while that worthy
rolled up his eyes, looked for a mo-

right diget as if to shake hands, and

Development.

We have arrived at a period in
history when thinkers and writers
are very numerous; almost every
man is adapted to work of some
kind; that work, in order to bring
about the fullest intellectual develop
ment, should be to the persons tastes.
To every one God has given ten
dancy of constitution or of character,
to some specific kind of work. But
a popularity is found, especially in
the literary world. The writer (par
excellance) gives interest to the com
monest topics; the true genius, as
a writer, makes his work felt on com
ing generations. The mere man of
intellect is not 4 writer, but genius is
possessed of an individuality pledged
to inforce ideas. If he fails to-day.
he will try tomorrow. The mere
scholar does not reach the popular
heart; he scarcely presents more than
ghosts of thoughts.
Development is the law of nature;
growth and change are necessary to
life. A bowldcr scarcely shows any
change, but the oak has sprung from
the acorn which contains its life prin-
ciple. All organs reach completion
through development-thc body,
mind and soul.
Doubtless to every man at some
time, there has come a feeling of des-
pondency, because there is no place
for him in the world. But this feel
ing is not constant man was created
for some good end. Man studies
nature and finds there that there is
something for every created thing to
do. There is place in the grand
machinery of human life for every
one; but inactive people fall behind,
lose sight Of their own place, and are
found at last in the column of hor-
rors in the daily newspapers. Hero
ism consists in doing our whole
duty; and this will transfigure and
glorify the humblest lot. But there
are certain things necessary to de-
velopment. lst, a good mind in a
healthy body, brain and muscle are
the students capitol; health is essential
to the successful student, I'd energy
and perseverance; to expect to sue.
coed without the latter, Is the climax
of presumption. 3rd, application is
necessary. The student must give
his best hours to his work; steady
persistent blows in the right direction
will accomplish the work. 4th, text
| books and teachers are essential
books are the treasured love of cont
nents and centuries, but they are not
to be laid upon the shelf of memory

that we want. The teacher teaches

DAILY AND WEEKLY GLOBE.
vERM0NT's LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, concentrating the compile
ton of the first century OF our independence
and witnessing the election of president and,
for the first time I'm our history, an entire ma
tional house OF representatives, Will be one OF
splendid possibilities both TO journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE Will avail itself OF the former by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full ;
by impartial comments on the news OF the
hour by candid, honest discussion OF the Is
sues of the day by full reports of local occur
rences and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
ports, and by selections both grave and gay
In a word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE live newspaper, indispensable to the
farmer and business man, TO the politician and
student to the office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly I'm store for IL, we shall on our part
as in times past, advocate the principles and
policy Of tho republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make 1t better and purer by combating its
errors and exposing the wrong.doers in its
ranks. We shall favor and strive for a real adj
mlnstrative REFORM a speedy return to specie
payments, an honest maintenance OF the ma
lions pllghted faith, a purer and better politics,
a faithful and economical administration Of the
government, municipal, state and national, and
shall support only honest, capable men for
Office
As M earnest of the future, we can only point
TO our course in the past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, us heretofore, we shall en-
deavor to make THE GLOBE better and better,
and more and more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month. What TIE GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF It's
existence Is well known, that IL has been fully
appreciated Its generous support amply attests.
As n medium OF advertising, THE GLOBE is un-
surpassed In Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation exceeds that Of any other
daily and weekly newspaper in Vermont the
circulation OF The daily us equal to that of any
other daily In Vermont the circulation OF TUE
WEEKLY GLOBE Is much larger than the combined
circulation Of al the other lgeekiy newspapers in
Rutland county and is more than one.half
larger than that OF any other weekly journal In
western Vermont Advertisers make note OF
ths,and of the further fact that IL is the largest
journal In the state.
