Our schoolmaster, when he took
charge of the school in the Crooked
River district, conceived the idea that
he would like, if possible, to get along
without whipping. He was not lover
of corporal punishment in school. He
believed its effect was demoralizing.
Nevertheless, he realized the necessity
of strict order and government, and he
knew that if he would succeed without
whipping, where whipping had been
the custom, he must have the co-opera-
tion of the parents. So he prepared a
circular. which he sent to the parents
of the district, asking their counsel and
support. The following is a copy of
the response he received from old Sod
ger, who rented the ''Jim Baker" farm:
Deer Mr.. Nite:-Your Striker Oh fog
GIN is duly reserved. As to my John,
think you had better fog him every
time you ken git a chance. He's bad
boy. Afore you come here l tried to
teech him myself, but he wouldn't new

and he kant rede wuth cent, and as
for his spellin', it is outragus- Lick

son of mine should happen to be sich a

Samuel ]. Tilden was mixed up in the
notorious Credit Mobilier job, than
which bigger scheme of organized
rascality was never carried on in this
country. Oakes Ames, it will be re.
membered, was the originator and
father of the Credit Mobilier scheme,
by which, under shrewdly- drawn con.
tract, all the interests, resources and
profits of the Union Pacific railroad
were placed in the hands of favored
few. In the official record of the testi.
mony on this subject Mr.. Tilden ap-
pears as follows:

MOll0y.

Mrs. Emma Molloy. who has lectur-
ed upon temperance in Massachusetts,
with great success for the past two
months, leaves for her home in Indians
to-day. Yesterday afternoon q fare
well reception was given her i'm Wesley
an Hall by her friends. The company
included many Of the leading workers
in the temperance cause, and q social
hour was spent very pleasantly. Brief
addresses were made by several Of those
present. all testifying to their high es-
timation of Mrs, Molloy's services, and
their regret that she was to leave the
State, and giving her the assurance Of
a hearty and cordial welcome waen she
returns. Letters speaking Of her SER
vices in the warmest terms were read

dell Phillips, and the Hon. John 1. Ba-
ker, II. ID. Cushing, ESQ.,, and Others.
Mrs. Molloy expects to return in Sep
tember, and to participate in the politi-

A Specimen Of Tilden Reform.

Among the most prominent Of the
canal contractors are Barnett & Nash,
of Fort Edward. They have been
largely engaged in canal work at that
place and other points.
A year ago last April, soon after
Gov. Tilden's Canal Commission was
appointed, it made a tour along
the Champlain canal to inspect the
work. Coming to Fort Edward, where
Barnett & Nash were then fulfilling
contract, Mr.. John Bigelow, the Presi-
dent Of the commission. publicly de-
clared that it was full Of fraud, and
that the contractors and all other
parties concerned ought to be in Jail.
Yet, singularly enough, though the
commission has made reports upon
many other canal frauds, it has never
reported on this Fort Edward work.
Such report has repeatedly been
called for and promised, but it has
never cOiut-
Why? 1t is notorious in Washing
ton county that Z. f. Davis, the we'll
known friend of Gov. Tilden, is inter-
ested in the firm Of Barnett & Nash,
and has been potential in persuading
the Governor to shield their opera
tions from exposure. This is not ALL
Mr.. M. A. NasE, OF the firm, is an ac-
tive politician, and sent one OF the
delegates to the st. Louis Conven-
tion-a delegate who was simply his
man. He stood by Tilden, and in re-
turn Tilden stands by him. 1t is a
mutual bargain for mutual benefit.
And now, although the President of
the commission said the contractors
and all concerned ought to be in Jail,
Mr.. M. A. Nash has been a1ected Pres
ident of the Tilden Club at Fort Ed
ward, and is Justify shouting for ~Til-
den and reform" Tilden spares Nash
from exposure and punishment, and
Nash supports Tilden. Tilden shields

Something to Think Seriously About.



A few days ago lady and her broth
er arrived at Indianapolis. They were
on their way to their old home in Yer
mont. The lady was broken in health.
poor hysterical victim of fright and
horror, a complete wreck of her former
self. Shecould go no fsother. Human
nature could do no more and she died.
This was Mrs. Helen Z. Willis, the
wife of one OF the men murdered by the
fiends who lured them to bloody death
under promise of protection. the sister
of Senator Twitchell, who stood at the
side Of her death-bed in armless help
lessness. Her husband, her brother
and her sisters and their husbands all
seep in southern graves, and every
male relative was murdered. And now
she, too, is dead, the victim Of rebel
malice, that drowned out her life in an
ocean of horrors. 1t is almost incredi-
BILE that these inhumanities, these fiend-
ish barbarities could have been perpe-
tratea in a civilized and Christian ma
tion.

Morton 10 Merymon.

After repeating the challenge to the
Democratic party to name one good
that it had done or suggested in the
past twenty-five years, Mr.. Morton con-
tinued:
when look back, remember the
fugitive-slave law in 1850; 1 remember
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
in 1854, that breach of faith which was
the beginning Of the war; 1 remember
the border-ruffian outrages in 1856 and
1856; remember the Lecompton Con-
stitution and the Dred Scott decision
in 1857; remember the Democratic
party IN 1850. saying there was no pow
er to force State to remain in the Un-
ion; i remember its opposition to every
war measure; | remember its meeting
at Chicago in 1854, during the last
great struggle, when every honest man
knew that the rebellion was doomed
unless it saved from the north, and
their declaring to the world, Mr.. TIL
den himself being on the committee,
that the war was failure and ought to
be abandoned. I know that in any
ooher country in the world than this,
struggling with armed rebellion, that
declaration would have been punished
as high treason, as 1t deserved to be,
made at that time and under the cir
cumstances- remember its opposition
to the abolition of slavery. 1 remem-
Der its opposition to the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments. Iremem-
Der the counsel it gave to the South to
reject all reconstruction. remember
the outrages Of the Ku-Klux and white
leaguers who received protection and
encouragement In the tents of the Dem
ocratic party. put the question to
my friend-and L win give him thedoor
to answer-what good thing has his
party done or even suggested In twen-
ty-five years? Continually evil; the
blackest and most damnable record in
the history of parties in this or any
other country.
My friend from North Carolina talk
ed great deal about the expenses OF
the Republican party. He talked about
the increased expenses Of the govern
ment. He said the last four years had
cost the country more to maintain this
government and carry it on than dur
ing the previous history of the govern
ment. 1 do not know whether he is
light about that or not, but win as
sumo, for the sake of argument, that
he is; and ask who is responsible for
it? 1 answer, my friend and those
with whom he has acted during that
period. If we have incurred billions OF
expense, If we are now oppressed bya .
National debt, Is we are burdened by
heavy taxes, l tell him, he and those
who acted with him have laid those
burdens upon us. They are directly
respoRsible; and it requires all the face
Il win not say cheek-it requires all
the good counienance even OF my
friend, to stand up and say to the Re-
publicaI6: ''Yeu Republicans did not
conquer our rebellion qpite as cheaply
as you ought to have done; You have
not handled taxation and the public

Conversation mt a Danbury Break.
fast Table.

The Journal of Health says that
talking at the table is one Of the very
best digesters. This, then, accounts
for the tremendous appetite every
body has for the Sunday dinner. We
never could understand why, with
scarcely any exercise on Sunday, the
dinner OF that day should be earlier
and more anxiously sought for by the
people than any other dinner. Many
real good Christian people will sac
riflce Sunday school, where it is a
noon session, i'm order to get home
for something to eat. Although the
breakfast has been later than any OF
the week, still noon brings most
ravenous appetite. But it is all ex-
planned now. Talking at the table
does it. Everybody knows that the
Sunday breakfast is the longest on
the floor, and is more talked over
than any breakfast of the week.
This is the way 1t comes about. The
children are to be got up and got
ready for church. 1t is immaterial
how long people have been married,
woman always gets breakfast
ready as soon as she has called the
children. They don't come as a gen.
eral thing when they are called; but
no woman allows this To influence
her actions. She gets the breakfast
just as punctually as 4 she had nevsr
had to wait an hour or so for dila-
tory family. This is the grandest IL
lustration Of the sublime faith of wo-
man to be found on record. With
one or two of the older children about
her she sits down to the meal. The
surroundings OF the breakfast would
make it repast of lead were it not
for the conversation which flows
smoothly on. And the great variety
of subjects discussed is an important
element in the development OF the
gastric juices. There's re- huzband

Barnetta, with a peal OF laughter.
