ANECDOTE or STONEWALL
JACKSON.


Stonewall Jackson, at sixteen, was
constable OF the county Of Lewis,
Virginia, with his uncle, Cummings
jackson, as his security. The first ex-
ecution that came into his hands was
against widow living some twelve
miles from the court house. Jackson
summoned a man named Charlie Post
to accompany him and TO assist him
in driving away the cattle which he
proposed TO levy upon. When he ar
rived there he found that the old wo-
man had but one cow-thc principal
means of her support. So soon as be
learned this, he turned TO his compan.
ion and said; Charlie, will not levy
this execution upon that poor woman's
cow as poor as am, / would rather
work night and day and pay the debt
myself" Upon that he left there and
stated the facts to bis uncle, his securi-
ty in his Official bond. He listened to
his narrative and then said "Tom, !
see you were never born TO be con-
stable, my boy; resign your office at
once, and | will pay the execution" !"
Mr.. Faulkner, who tells the above
story, says also: II remember upon
one occasion | received a telegram
Of the extreme illness of II daughter in
Appomattox county, and communities
ting message from her that she wish
cd to make some request Of me in per-
son before she died. took the tele-
gram to General Jackson and asked
for leave Of absence for few days.
lie read it, and observed trickling
down his cheek, and after pausing for
q few moments he said Colonel, |
shall not refuse your request for there
is nothing now requiring your presence
absolutely at headquarters; but | will
announce to you the rule that governs
my conduct. When entered the ar.
my gave myself up to my country,
and however | might deplore my sep.
araton from those | love, and especial.
ly under the circumstance mentioned
in This telegram, yet would not feel
myself at liberty to leave my post here,
have left all that are dear to me in
the hands Of my country and Of my
God. :"

PRoF. ADLER on THE CoLLEGEs.--
Professor Felix Adler, in his lecture on
" Religion in the United States says
that our great want is of culture, the
harmonious development of all our
faculties. This cannot be supplied by
the $50 or moro colleges in the coun-
try, because they are built by the
Church, and each sect having its own
the result is ludicrous impotency
" Besides" be continued, "thc sectarian
spirit within the colleges has science
within its grasp, and stiles its liberty,
which is It's life. The right of free
utterancc is curtailed. European in.
vestigations, when not in accord with
church creeds, are suppressed. Natur'
al science, even, is taught with bias
and our future lawyers, doctors and
statesmen, are sent forth with no knowl
edge, or with distorted knowledge
Of the great conflicts waging in th,
scientific world. That great good bai
been done by the church in lessons o
pure morality we admit; sincerely anc
empbatically, yes. But for their dog
matte teachings, they have been evil
and the source of evil"

JNO. GUTENBERG AT COURT.

In 1865 Adolph made Gutenberg one
of the gentlemen of his court, "lor
agreeableand voluntary service render
ed to us and oui bishopric.' The ma
ture OF the service is not explained,
but il is the common belief that tho
archbishop intended TO recognize the
utility of Gutenberg's invention. Very
comforting it is to learn, from the doe
ument certifying his appointment, that
the man who had invented an art
which promised to renew the literature
of the world, and had made Mentz fa.
nous iorevermore, was thus rewarded
by the first ecclesiastical aignitary OF
Germany "by accepting him for life
as our servant and courtier; by cloth
ing him with a court suit, as we clothe
our noblemen; by the annual git OF
twenty mout of corn and two voer OF
wine free of tax, on condition that he
shall not sell it nor give ii away"
How delightful it is to be told by one
OF the dry.as.dust ehroniclers of Guten-
DcTE lHt, luat Auclo was nv iNuoVh
why Gutenberg should not have been
happy. Was be not provided with
everything for comfortable old age ?
He was allowed to follow the princely
court. He had free table, and fodder
for his horse He had ineffable pleas
ure in wearing an aristocratic mantle
known as the tdbdrd, and-could any
thing be more satisfactory? he could
carouse at court-could, if he chose, 20
with an empty and return with iull
cup. Think of IL the man who had
printed two Latin Bibles and Latin
dictionary and many books OF religious
characteristic greater part of whose
life had been spent in solitary studies
over the secrets of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
thoughts and aspirations were far
above and beyond his fellows--was tc
find his pleasure in sitting down at q
table between the maudlin Baron
Schlangenbad and the driveling Count
of Pumpernickel, and in listening tc
the profound remarks of the Osrics
and Bobadils of a German principality

How ANNA DICKINSON MAKES LOVE.
Anna Dickinson is failure in the
love scenes of her own plays. When
the experienced actor sidles up to her
and reaches his arms around her rigid
waist, she grabs him by the wrist and
holds him of at arms length while he
says bis piece, and then, when she
reaches the melting moment and lowers
her head TO let it droop upon bis
shoulder, the constrained action is 80
like the gesture of venerable William
goat in the act Of assisting teasing
boy over a pasture fence, that the au'

murmur Of disappointment when he
braces his feet and receives the dror
of her head with scarcely audible

The brothers John and Charles Yves.
ley, with Richard Fillmore, were one
evening holding a twilight meeting on
the common, when they were attacked
by a mob, and fed from its fury for
their lives. The first place OF refuge
that they found, after having been for
some time separated, was a hedge.row
near at hand, behind which they hid
a few moments, protecting themselves
from serious injury by the missiles that
fell like bail about them, by clasplng
their hands above their heads as they
lay with their faces in the dust. As
night drew on, the darkness enabled
them to leave their temporary retreat
for safer one at some distance. They
found their way at last to spring
house, where, in comparative security
they waited for their pursuors to weary
of seeking them. "llere they struck
a light with flint stone" busted theil
soiled and tattered garments, and after
qucnching their thirst, bathed theil
hands and faces in the water that bub
bled from the spring that flowed away

But the commissioners do not seem TO
have been troubled on account of their ut
ter want of power to act. That was not
the rock on which they split. They seem
to be astonished that they cannot buy land
in Rutland for the same price that ordinary
building lots may be purchased for in Bar
ton or st. Adams AS q general PROPOSE.
ton 1t Is not by any means strange that de-
slrable locations should command higher
price here than in some other portions of
the state and it is still less strange that
the owners of such locations, if they have
adjoining property, should ask a reasonably
high price for 1t as site for jail and
workhouse. The people of Rutland do
not banker much after building spots To-
Gated next to a jail. Such locations are
not very desirable as places of residence,
and the proximity of a jail does not tend to
increase the value of property-at least
such has been Rutlands experience. If
the commissioners expect that property
owners in Rutland will present to the
county or state slte for a workhouse
and Jail for the sole advantage of own
ing adjoining property, the sooner they
disabuse their minds of the idea
the better for all concerned. If there is
any intention or desire on the part of the
commissioners of establishing work-house
it is time they were done with this con-
temptible subterfuge. If they conceive
that their powers, under the law, are
ample, why do they not act II the two
laws we're SO worded as to preve-t the
building of work-house, let the commits
Sioners 30 declare and save the state any
further expense on account of their per
diem and "their actual and reasonable ex-
"penses," and be done with this game of
thimbleng.
