A SENSIBLE WOMAN.


1t is not often that woman, rici
and charitable, is not also weak
Not SO was Miss Mary Dancer, a
rich maiden lady of this city, who
died few weeks ago. Miss Mary
was well endowed with this worlds

who loved her with all the devotion
that poor people always love rich

Mary considered their feelings. She

She distributed $SS5,OO among the
charities that are known to be well

money goes to them without any in

The curious thing about it is, that
her father who made all this money
was a noted gambler, and every dol
lar of it was made by gambling.
The gamblers wife and daughter
were, however, not only exemplary,
but devoted pious women, and it
was the wish of the mother, as well
as of the father, that the money
should be applied to a good use.
The managers of the charities had,
at the beginning, some scruples as
to accepting money so acquired, but
it was finally decided that they
could sanctify it. After taking

The Inaugural.

The Inaugural Of President Hayes win
be found in this number, and viii, no
doubt, be generally read and digested.
The sentiments Of his letter of acceptance
are reproduced and reafirmed, with even
more precision and emphasis than sc first.
First in the order of Importance, is
named the restoration of law and order
peace and the protection Of person and
property, free elections, good local gov
ernments for the South, and harmonious
relations among its inhabitants, and be-
tween them and the Government; respect
for the Constitution, equal protection to
sii classes Of citizens, and freedom and Sc
eurity o. elections, are the conditions upon
which His Excellency win cooperate with
the South in the restoration Of popular
rights and general harmony. In this con-
peotion We are reminded that ''only To-
cal government which recognizes and
paintains inyiolate the rights Of all, is q
true government. With this conception
Of the requirements Of the South, the Pres
ident defines his own purposes as follows:
''The evils which aflict the Southern
( States can only be removed or remedied by
the united and harmonious efforts of both
races, actuated by motives Of mutual SYM
pathy and regard; and while in duty
bound and fully determined to protect the
rights Of all by every constitutional means
at the disposal Of my Administration, l am
sincerely anxious to use every legitimate
influence in favor OF honest and efficient
local self-govemment as the true resource
Of those States for the promotion of the
contentmept and prosperity Of their citi-
gems. In the efforts shall make to accom-
plish this purpose ask the cordial Coop
GRAFTON OF all who cherish an interest in
the welfare Of the country, trusting that
party ties and the prejudice Of race will be
freely surrendered in behalf OF the great
purpose to be accomplished"
OF course, the situation is not little
complex, and imperously calls for the
united efforts of the two races not now in
natural harmony. Prejudices and resent
ments are to be overcome, which have a
somewhat formidable look. The vo-l, nil
prove delicate and tedious one. and will
be likely to require good share Of ma
tience, hrnness and ssgacity. Whatever
the result Of this undertaking, we cannot
doubt the integrity and sarnestness Of pur-
pose that instigates it.
Next in importance comes civil service
reform. The enforcement Of justice in the
South, requires that government repre-
sentativss in that quarter shonld them

pennines on fire, the Himalayss on fire.
And what will be peculiar about that day
viii be that the water with which we put out
great fires viii itself take flame. The Ohio
and Hudson, and Mississippi and trem-
bling Niagara shall with red tongues lick
the heavens. The geological heats in the
centre of the earth will burn out toward
the circumference, and this world will be a
living coal, the living coal falling into
ashes, the ashes scattered by the breath of
the last hurricane, and all that will be left
Of this glorious planet will be flakes of
ashes falling on other worlds. Oh, on
that day will you be fireprOOf, or will you
be total loss? Will you be rescued or
will you be consumed? When this world
in its baptismal font of the sea shall blaze,
will YOU go out on the fire escape of the
Lords deliveranee? Oh, on that day. for
which all other days were made, may it be
found that this life insurance man had a
paid-up policy, and that this fire insurance
man lad given him, instead OF the debris
of consumed world, house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens
And after this turgidity he stands
for a moment, as if overcome by his
feelings, looking slyly out of his
left eye to note the effect upon the
throng, and with 'let us pray" ut
ters what he calls a prayer, which
is very like his sermon, and as bias
phemous. Still this humor draws
more people every Sunday than
Beecher, or any other preacher in
the two cities. Curious thing human

With the last expiring moments
Of the session the dungeon doors
were opened, and Wells walked
forth with his arsenal intact, no Ion
ger a vassal, but a peer. Dudley
Field soon after recoIlected that he
had business in New York.
In the extra session of the Senate
which the President called on the
5th, the new Senators will begin
their terms. The Senate will be
composed of forty-one Republicans
and thirty-four Democrats. The
seat of Mr.. Corbin, of South Caro-
lima, will be contested by NJ. c. But
Ter, of Hamburg massacre infamy,
and James B. Eustis, Democrat, will
probably lay claim to the vacancy
from Louisiana.
The resolution introduced in the
House by the revOlutionists, de-
manding from the Senate the return
of the worthless package containing
what 8 wandering Vermonter assert
ed to be his vote for Tilden, and no
tifying the Senate there would be no
joint session until the package
should be received, was direct in
suit to the Senate. Had it been
adopted the object of the revolution
lists in preventing the completion of
the count would have been accom-
plished. Fortunately there were
enough decent Democrats to join
with the Republicans in voting it
down.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

FELLOW CITIZENS: We have assembled
to repeat the public ceremonial begun by
Washington. observed by all my predeces-
] sors. and now a time-bonOred custom,
which marks the commencement of new
term of the Presidential Office. Called to
the duties of this great trust, proceed in
| compliance with usage to announce some
of the leading principles on the subjects
that now chiefly engage the public atten-
ton, and by which it Is my desire to be
guided in the discharge Of those duties.
shall not undertake to lay down irreYoca-
bly, principles or measures Of adminisira-
ton, but rather to speak Of the motives
which should animate us, and TO suggest
certain important ends to be attained in
accordance with our institutions and essen
tial 70 the welfare of our country. At the
outset Of the discussions which preceded
the recent Presidential election it seemed
to me fitting that I should fully make
known nv sentiments in regard to several
of the important questions which then ap-
peared to demand the consideration Of the
country. Following the example, and IN
part adopting the language Of one OF my
predecessors, | wish now, when every mo-
tive for misrepresentation has passed away,
to repeat what was said before the election,
trusting that my countrymen viii candid
" weigh and understand it and that they
will feel assured that the sentiment declar-
ed in accepting the nomination of the Pres
idency, viii be the standard Of my conduct
in the path before me, charged as / now
am with the grave and difficult task Of car
ryingIthem out in the practical admins
tration Of the government so far as de-
pends, under the Constitution and laws, on
the Chief Executive of the nation.

The Messrs. Howard of Sheffield, en-
gagged in the disturbance at Lyons store
on the evening of the 18th ult., called up
on us on Saturday evening, saying that
they were aggrieved by the article sent US
by our correspondent, and demanding the
name of the writer Instead Of complying
with their request, they were told that the
testimony before Justice Bugbee would be
heard. and if they had been wrOnged, JUS
tice should be done. That testimony did
not conflict with the published representa-
tion. There is, therefore, nothing to be
made right in the matter. The parties
we're bound over for trial under bonds of

We are of the opinion that it must be good,
for the simple reason that so many praise it
and physicians prescribe it. We mean DR..

Friend Reed-Perhaps you have thought
your request to hear from us, so long neg
Iected, has been outlawed and forgotten.
But, as we are reminded each week, by the
coming of the TELEGRAPH, of your impor-
tance to our happiness, and of our obliga-
tions for the great pleasure we derive from
its perusal, we cannot refrain from an apol-
ogy for seeming neglect, and will enclose
our dues as a peace offering, with a word
to give you an idea how things are running
at the Hub:
Boston, you are prepared to believe, with
all the additions that have within a few
years been made to it, has become a very
large city. 1t is quite irregular in its out
line, some portions almost wholly cut off
from the centre by intervening territory
which still rufuses her proffered protection.
Great changes have taken place in the last
twenty years. Fine parks, streets and res
licences are now where Old Oceans sceptre
waved. The great fire here made an open
ing in the business portion for many very
handsome and substantial new buildings,
which add not a little to the appearance of
wealth and the imposing character of the
city, though they have exhausted an i'm
mense amount of capital in their eonstruc-

THE SCHOOLS.

No pains or expense seem to be spared
for educational purposes, and all the
schools are of high order. It is no small
compliment to this modern Athens, that
the recent embassy from Japan, after going
through all countries, and carefully exam
inging all the educational systems of the
civilized world, should finally select the
schools of Boston as their model, and take
from here on their return all, in architee-
ture and in art, that could transplant a
veritable Boston school as beacon light,
in that vast empire.

CIVIL SERVICE.

ask the attention of the public to the
paramount necessity Of reform in our civil
service, a reform not merely as to certain
abuses aud practices of so called official
patronage, which have come to have the
sanction Of usage in several departments Of
our government, but q change Of the sys-
tenn Of appointments itself; reform that
shall be thorough, radical and complete; a
return to the principles and practices Of
the founders of the government. They
neither expected nor desired, from public
officers, any partisan service. They meant

intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re-
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the serofllous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
OF diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear, Hence its wonderful

Leucorrhoa, when they are manifesto

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs
it dissipates the depression and hstless lam
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease Of
life.
