A RADICAL FORGERY EXPOSED

a RAO1CAL FOhGEhx 6AHO06O
The following paragraph purport
ing to be an extract from a recent
speech of ex Governor Vance, of
North Carolina, originally appeared
in the editorial columns of the Wis
consin State Journal, a Radical pa
per of the most INSCRIPTIONS char
acter:
81 am sorry that laid down my
arms in 1868; | am in favor of re-.
enslaving the negro, and, if that can
not be done at once, my idea is to
adopt a plan which will bring about
such a condition of things. | would
deprive the negro of educational
privileges; would pay him low wa
ges; | would prevent him from ac~
curing real estate; l would deprive
him of arms, ammunition, stock and
agricultural implements"
The ridiculous fabric alton is going
the rounds of the Radical papers, and
is made the text for columns of fiery
indignation and bitter denuuciatiOn
by writers to whom it would be an
insult to suppose they did not know
it was base forgery. A statement
SO manifestly false, so inconsistent
with the we'll known sentiments of
Gov. Vance and the Democracy of
North Carolina, whom he so faith.
fully represents, would seem hardly
worth noticing. But as it is being
used in portions of the South to de-
ceive the colored voters and excite
their distrust of the Democrats, the
words said to have been uttered were
forwarded to Governor Vance, with
q request that he would state wheth-
err or not he had made any such
speech. Through fIisnd Governor
Vance replied that he ''never uttered
any such sentiments in this or any
other canvass, nor at any time or
place has Governor Vance said any
thing which could bear such con~
struction."
Upon the authority of the State
Democratic Committee, the para
graph which the Wisconsin paper
pretends to quote from a speech of
Gov. Vance, is pronounced to be a
forgery, an Infamous SANDER and
falsehood manufactured out of whole
cloth. The committee stated that
Gov. Vance never uttered the LAM
gusge attributed to him, nor any
other language or sentiment that
would bear such a construction
They further declare, on behalf of
the Democracy of North Carolina,
that no man entertaining the senti
ments attributed to Gov. Vance in
the paragraph quoted could receive
their countenance and support.

SCHOOLS.

Do you want your children educa-
ted and prepared to take their places,
when they grow up, in society as
gentlemen and ladies Do you not
feel an anticipated pride in the hope
that they will be respec ed, inhuen
tiaI and US fal i-Do you not want
them to be good citizens in every
sense of the word These are
worthy aspirations, if you have them,
and are much to your credit. But
what are you dol ng to reach that end 7
What means are necessary to accom-
plish such results Z Are you sitting
quietly with folded hands waiting for
the contamination of these things all
to come as a matter of course 7 If
you are, you will find you have watt
ed 10 vain. Something must be done.
You must have good schools and con-
sequently good teachers in them.
Not teachers who go into the school
room to keep from behind the plow
handles, and earn few paltry dollars
with which to keep themselves de-
cent in their idleness but teachers
who feel the responsibility of their
work, and who labor with an eye
singly to the good of their pupils and
patrons. These are the kind of teach
ers you need. Ifyou have such, sus~
tain them to the utmost of your abil~
ity. Give them all the moral sup
port and peculiarly aid you can.
Think with them, talk with and for
them, and work for them. Do not
be satisfied that you have employed
them, and consequently they are
your teachers. Your responsibility
does not end when you employ the
teacher. If you sit down and wait
for them to do all the work, you will
find that your expectations have fail
ed. You must do something too.
Superintend the studies of your chill
dren as far as you can at home help
them 10 their preparation and let
them get their recitations fresh from
the hands of an anxious and loving
mother or father. Let them know
you are Interested in, and anxious
for them. Let them know that you
will help them all you can. Let the
teachers know that you are interest
ed in their success. If you do these
things, you will reap rich reward
in the well doing and being OF your
children. and they will grow up and
call you blessed.

a SMART BOY.

A traveller stopped at Brussels in
a post chaise, and being sharpset he
was anxious to buy a piece of cher
ry pie before bis vehicle should set
out but be was afraid to leave the
public conveyance lest it might
drive off and leave him. So calling
a lad to him from the other side of
the street, he gave him a piece of
money and requested him to go to a
restaurant in the near vicinity and
purchase pastry and then to make
assurance doubIy sure, he gave him
another piece of money and told him
to buy some for himself at the same
time. The lad went off on a run,
and in little while came back eat
ing a piece Of pie, and looking very
complacent and happy. Walking
up to the window of the chaise, he
said, with the most perfect noncha
lance, returning at the same time
one of the pieces Of money which the
gentleman had given him;
"The restaurant had only one
piece Of pie left, and that | bought
with my money that you gave me y

READING BY SUBJECTS.

But perhaps you don't know how
to read by subjects. Let me tell you.
Suppose you see an allusion to some
thing that interests you-say Sir
Walter Raleigh; look for his name
in an encyclopedia or biographical
dictionary (Which you will find in
every tolerabIe village library.)-
Reading of him, you will become in
terested in Queen Elizabeth look
her up, in the same books, and in
English history; observe the noted
men of her reign, look them up, read
their lives; read historical novels and
poems of her times; look at the table
of contents of magazines and reviews,
and read essays on the subject. You
see the way open before you. Once
make a start, and there is scarcely
an end to the paths you will wish to
follow.
If you have no special subject of
interest, take up an encyclopedia,
slowly turn the leaves, and read any
item that attracts you, not forcing
yourself to read anything. If you
have any life in you, you will find
something to interest you then you
have your subject. If it is some his
torical person or event, proceed as |
have already indicated if scientific,
overhaul the dictionaries of science,
lives of scientific men, discussions of
disputed points, etc. if geographic
cal, turn to a gazetteer, books of
travels, etc. One book will lead to
another.
Right here let me say, hope you
have access to these works of refer
ence, either in your own house, or
that of fIiend, or OF public library.
But if your case is the very worst
if you have none, cannot buy them,
and have no public library in your
neighbOrhood, let me advise you to
drop everything else and make it
your sole and special mission to start
one, either by influencing your par
ents and older friends, or by getting
up a club of your mates. A strong
will and earnest effort will accom-
plish wonders, and all older people
are willing to help younger ones to
useful tools.-&. Nicholas for Sept.

BLUE TIMES IN NEW YORK.

A New York letter says: Sin con-
versation with the President of one
of our city banks, last evening, he
stated that he had been connected
with that and other banks for thirty
five years, yet never had he known
such a condition of affairs as at press
ent exists. la few isolated cases
business men were moderately ems
ployed, but as a rule stagnation and
apathy everywhere prevailed. His
bank was making no money, and
what was true of his own bank he
knew was true of others. This stag
nation, be believed, would continue
until the workingmen and working
women could find remunerative ems
ployment, and real estate, the basis
of the country's wealth, came out
from the slough of inaction and de-
preston in which certainly it had
lain for years. Some finely located
and really valuable property was
worse to-day than it was three years
ago, and then it was worse than it
was a dozen years ago. All this
must be changed, and the millions of
boarded capital must come for ward
and meet the brains and hands that
are waiting and anxious to work be-
fore a permanent change for the bet
ter can be witnessed Calculations
for prosperity on any other basis are
as futile as the thousand opinions
upon the subject that have already
passed into oblivion"

THE WISDOM OF FOOLS.

have often heard it said, as a
common proverb, that wise man
may be taught by fool. Ifyou are
not perfectly satisfied with the re-
plies of wise man, take counsel of
fool; it may be that, by so doing,
you will get an answer more to your
mind.
At Paris, in the house of Petit-
Chastelet, before the cook>shop of
one of the roast-meat sellers, GER
tain hungy porter was eating his
bread iu the steam of the roast meat,
and found it, SO seasoned, extremely
savory. The cook took no notice.
At last, when all the bread was de-
voured, the cook seized him by the
collar, and wanted him to pay for the
smell of the meat. The porter said
that he had sustained no loss at all,
that he had taken nothing of his, and
that he owed him nothing. AS for
the smell in question, it had been
steaming out into the street, and In
this way was wasted such thing
as selling the smell of roast meat in
the street had never been heard of in
Paris. The cook replied that the
smell of his meat was not meant to feed
porters, and swore that if he did not
paw be would take away his truck.
The porter seized his cudgel and pre-
pared to defend himself.
The alteration became serious.
The idle people of Paris ran together
from all parts to witness the dispute.
Thither, apropos, came Seigni Joan,
the fool, citizen of Paris. Seeing
him, the cook said to the porter
"Shall we refer our difference to
the noble Seigni Joan 7"
"Agreed," replied the porter.
Then Seigni Joan, having heard
the cause of their quarrel, command
ed the porter to take piece Of mon
ey from his belt. The porter put a
PhiIippus in his hand. Seigni Joan
took it and put it on his left shoulder,
as if to try its weight then made.it
ring on the palm of left hand, as if
to hear if it was good then placed
it close to his right eye, as it to see
if it was properly stamped.
While all this was done, the idle
people waited i'll profound silence,
the master 10 steady expectation, and
the porter in despair. At last he
made it ring on the counter several
times. Then, holding his bauble in
his hand as if it were sceptre, and
muffiing his head in hood OF martin
skins, each side of which resembled
an apes face, first coughing two or
three times, he said in loud voice
"The court decides that the porter
who has eaten his bread in the fumes
of the roast,meat has paid the cook
according to law, with the sound OF
his money. The said court Ordalns
that each retire to his own house
without costs"
And this sentence of the Partisan
fool appeared so equitable, in fact,
so advisable to the above named doc
tors, that they doubted, if the matter
had been brought before the Parlla-
ment of the said place, even before
the Areopagites, to be decided, if it
would have been settled more equit-
ably.

Ar the trial of Wild Bills murder

AT the trial of Wild Bills murder
err at Deadwood, he Jack McCalD
was called upon to make state"
ment. He came down from the stage
into the auditorium of the theatre,
and, with his right hand in the bosom
of his shirt, his bead thrown back, in
a harsh, loud and repulsive voice,
with bull dog sort of bravado, said /:
"Well, men, | have but few words
to say. Wild Bill killed my brother
and killed him. Wild Bull threat
eued to kill nue. if | crossed his path.
am not sorry for what | have done.
| would do the same thing over
again" The prisoner then returned
to his place on the stage. A few
hours afterwards the following ver-
dict was returned: ''Deadwood City,
August 3, 1876 We, the jurors,
find the prisoner, Mr.. John Mccall,
not guilty. Charles Whitehead, fore
man." The prisoner was at once
liberated. The first vote taken by
the jury resulted in eleven Tor &C"
quittal and one for conviction, and
the single man who desired justice
was SO intimidated by his fellow jura
ors that he was induced to sanction
the verdict. 1t was proposed by one
of the jurymen that the prisoner be
ined fifteen or twenty dollars and
sell free.

TO PERSONS ABOUT TO MARRY.
London Spectator


There is no rule which philoso
piers can devise for choosing either
husbands or wives wisely that has
very much effect, for the young do
not trust the old upon that subject,
and choice, for women especially, is
by no means so free as we all affect
to believe. No one woman in fifty,
unless she is for some reason-such
as fortune, rank or beauty-a great
"catch," has anything like a real
power Of selection among admirers
and even when she has, she often
gives it away in obedience to a pass
ing, possibly sensible, possibly blum
dering fancy that she has found an
ideal. But we should Of said there
we're two broad rules still worth
teaching, because they had some
chance of being believed, and they
we're these: let the woman's first re-
quisite be man whose home will be
to him a rest, and the mans first OBJ
iect be woman who can make home
restful 1t is the man with many in
terests, with engrossing occupations,
with plenty of people to fight, with a
struggle to maintain against the
world, who is the really domestic
man, in the wife's sense, who enjoys
home, who is tempted to make a
friend of his wife, who relishes pratt
tie, who feels in the small circle
where nobody is above him and no.
