person in Athol. And the fact of his
being rich was the most annoying fact
in his existence. The Featherby family
had been wealthy during the three gen.
erations Of its known history. Riches
might take wings when in the possession
Of Smith. Jones; or Robinson, but they
remained true to the Featherbys. But
money could not keep them out of the
limits of that great bankrupt court,
Death, and hence Edward Featherby
came into possession of a fortune of two
millions on his twepty-first birthday
his father having died three years pre-
viously.
We are all familiar with the, maxim
thai it is u duty to look after the
pence, the dollars being able to care for
themselves. The principle holds good
among larger figures; a moderate in
come needs careful nursing; a million
VIII care for itself and its owner.
In all Athol County there was not to
be found a more %unassuming young
MAJ than Edward Featherby. What
he might have been had he been the
o of a poor man, we a not ~coniec-
ture; but filling a position where envy
could not touch his heart, he was full
OF good feeling towards every body, and
was as natural in tone and manner as
one could be.
The society in Athol was exclusive,
though not a%ristOcratic. 1t was so di-
yided into sets that the steps between
the lowest and highest were numerous,
though the actual difference between
the two was very small. But the lines
were drawn tightly, and the walls OF
partition between Jew and Gentle were
not mor real than the barriers each
little clique piled against the clique be.
low it.
1t was six years since Featherby came
into his property. He had graduated at
Yale when twenty-four, had spent ayeal
in Europe, and was now but just return.
cd from a years wandering in the fal
West of his native land.
If to most of us a fortune had beer
given when we were in the twenties, We
could have made it give us pleasure and
pleasant visions ahead; but it was moi
doing this for ~Featherby. His life was
bitter and purposeless because Of his
wealth. He had reached that stage il
his existence when he desired to bt
judged and loved for'the manhood tina
was in him, and not for his dollars; bu'
there had come ovor him a constant,
: increasing feeling that people we're real
ly bowling and smiling at his two mil
lions, though they seemed to be acting
q if friendly to him.
In the way of educating mankind

they will soon forget it, But tn,
stories which they carry to their cham

THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL AReu-
MENT that Mr.. Blaine was able to
advance, in support. of his. PROPOSE
tion to exclude jeff Davis from the
benefits of the Amnesty bill, were re-
citations of the griefs of Ex-Governor
Holden of North Carolina and Cover
nor Ames of Mississippi. Holden is
sad because he was impeached, re
moved from office, and disqualified
from holding Office hereafter; and
Amcs is sad because he is threatened
with similar fate. But the Judgment
OF the country approved of Holden s
tribulations at the time, and the bring.
ing of Ames to grief is the one thing
needful to give peace to Mississippi.
The prosecution - or persecution, as
Mr.. Blaine insists upon calling it-of
these two unconsclonable partisans
should not stand III the way of the
final settlement of the amnesty ques-
tion. Mr.. Blaine knows this as well
as anybody else, but Mr.. Blaine is
packing his carpet bag for Presiden-
tlal campaign, and is not particular as
to the character of his outfit. He is
not the first Presidential aspirant who
has defeated his own aspirations, -

RETRENCIIMENT.
How Much Can the National EXPENSE
be Cut Down.


The following is from Washington
special to the Chicago Times:
1t is now found, upon close scrutiny
that the first estimates of what re-
trenchments are possible have been
put at too high figure. Holman, an
extremist in all things pertaining to
economy, has said that the annual an
preparations can be cut down between
$40, 200, 900 and s50, 600. 900. 1t is now
conceded that the appropriations for
the ensuing year are cut down $50, ZOO,
OO0 great work will be accomplished.
Hall, Republican, and one of the
eldest members of the House Appro-
priat'o1s Committee, comedies that
the expenditures can be cut down $2O,-
OOO, 600. This, then, will make a re-
duction of $50, ,000, 900, as Hall did not
take into account in his estimates a
reduction of the army. Upon this the
Democrats are resolved, but not to the
extent that was at first proposed. 1t
is now intended to cut down the army
to 20, 600 men, intead OF to Is. 900 men
us was first suggested. Even this
cutting down will result in saving of
between So, 600, 900 and $14, 900.
The Republican line of tactics is one
of opposition to the contemplated re-
duciions of expenditures. When they
can claim that the government will be
in any way embarrassed they hope to
force the Democrats into a position
where they will have to agree to the
appropriation bills or let Congress ad.
1ourn with no money appropriated for
the use of the government. They
anticipate, with unconcealed satisfac.
tion, a dead lock on the important ap-
propriation bills, and hope hereby to
be able to 90 to the country with the
statement that the Democratic House
had, through its opposition to the Ad-
ministration, wilfully crippled the
government. The Democrats, how
ever, will accept the issue.

STRENGTHENING THE CITY HALL
CELLs.-Under the direction of the
Public Buildings Committee, VIM. G.
Pierce, contractor. is now engaged in
Strengthening the City Hall cells and
making them more secure as places of
confinement. A flooring of sheet iron
is being laid over the present floor, and
over this iron another flooring of wood
will be laid, making the floor of three
thicknesses-two of wood and one of
iron. The iron is very thin, and the
police officials think that boiler iron,
one quarter inch thick, would be
much better. In addition to the iron
floor, iron doors will be placed at the
ends of the two corridors leading to
the cells, and these with strict police
regulations, will doubtless be sufficient
to prevent the escape of prisoners
hereafter.

Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative I

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are SO compounded from concentrated
principles, extracted from roots and
herbs, as to combine in each small gran
ule, scarcely larger than mustard seed,
as much cathartic power as is contained
in any larger pills for sale in drug stores.
They are not only pleasant TO take, but
their operation is easy-unattended with
any grping pain. They operate with
out producing any constitutional dis
turbance. Unlike other cathartics, they
do not render the bowels costive after
operation, but, on the contrary, they
establish permanently healthy action.
Being entirely vegetable, no particular
care is required while using them.
$500 Reicdrd is offered by the Proprie.
tor to any one who will detect in these
Pellets any oalomel or other form ol
mercury. mineral poison, or injurious
drug.
They are sold by Druggists.

If JEFF DAVIS was as guilty as Mr..
Blaine represents him, why was he
not tried, convicted and sentenced?
That is one of the questions which Mr..
Blaine did not undertake to answer,
and until he does so successfully, we
commend to his and the attention of
all others opposed to universal Amnes-
ty the calm, cool, sensible and states
manlikc views of Gen. Banks, who, in
his brief speech, pointed out the folly
OF wrangling over questions or events
OF the war, as there was no possibility
OF an agreement. He also asserted
what cannot be denied, that no relia-
BILE history of the war had or could
yet be written. AS to the cruelties OF
war he had not doubt of their having
existed, but the beginning of the Cen
tennial year was not the time to dis
cuss them. "For those" said Gen,
Banks, ''who were guilty, | ask Gods
mercy; for those who suffered, Gods
help, but for the crimes, themselves
let the earth cover them"

The Negroes Vote against the Cente,,-.
iaI appropriation.

In the Virginia. Senate, Friday, a bill
was presented appropiating five thousand
dollars towards securing a proper repre-
sentation of the State at the Centennial.
The bill was favorably received and re-
fered to the finance committee. with the
prospect that it will be adopted b; botn
brnches of the Legislature. An analyeia
of.the vote by which the bill apprpiatir s
ten thousand dollars was defeated in the,
House OF delegates shows that six Of the
colorcd members in their seats refused
to vote; six colored members voted
against the bill. These twelve added to
the vote in the affirmative, would have
given sixty.-eight for the appropriation
one more than necessary to have carried
it. The material interest of the South,
beyond and above all political considera
tions, demand that an exhibition should
be made on the centennial occasion Of
her agricultural and mineral resources,
for there will never be such an oppertu-
nifty to show to the whole world the e.-
traordinary inducement she offers Ger
