There seems to be curious unwill-
ingness in certain Eastern newspapers
to admit that John P. Phair, the accused
Vermont murderer, may not be guilty
after all.
One of the oldest living graduates of
yarmouth College died last week in a
New Hampshire poorbouse. He was one
of the first scholars of his class, and as
a mathematician stood at its head.
Those having in charge the arrange
ments in Chicago for decorating the
Union soldiers graves have invited "all
loyal citizens, without reference to past
differences" to join in the ceremonies
and observances Of Decoration Day.
General Horace Binney Sergeant,
Commander of the Massachusetts, Grand
Army of the republic, urges the several
posts to make a special effort, on the
occurrence of Decoration Day, to raise
the $4,000 needed for the State Soldiers
Home.

THE CABINET wRECKERs.

now AND WHY THEY STARTED THE
LAST RUMoRs.
A dispatch from Washington to the
New York Herald says
"The Cabinet wreckers got on the ram
page again this morning and reconstruct
ed President Hayes. council OF advisers
in the most unceremonious way. 1hey
bundled dAttorney-General Devens OIL TO
Constantinople to exercise bis military
genius in seeing fair play between the
Russians and Turks Secretary McCrary
was next installed on General Devens'
luxurious sofa, and for a successor to the
chief of the War Office, they introduced
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, ex-Lieuten-
anti General of the recent so-called Con-
federacy. The wreckers had the aid this
time of the late semi-official organ OF ex-
President Grant, the National Repubh-
can, so that their work was not merely
rumored from mouth to mouth, but was
given the publicity which morning pa
per was able to afford.
Cup to the time the President and his
Cabinet left for Philadelphia there was
no verification of these stories, which are
again circulated in the interest of the
radical soreheads for the purpose OF In
juring the President and undermining
public faith in the stability of his under
takings. Could the country be made to
believe that the Cabinet was not a unit,
or that it was temporary affair likely to
disintegrate at any moment, much of the
peoples confidence in the President would
be lost. This is the secret of these per-
sistent reports of Cabinet changes. AS
for the change of tactics OH the part OF
the Republican newspaper, it is attribu-
ted to the Presidents slowness in taking
that organ to his bosom after its adula.

FIRST LOVE.


Whom first we love, you know, we seldom
Time rules us all. And life. indeed. is not
The thing we planned 1t out ere hope was
And then we women cannot choose our
lot
Much must be borne which IL is hard to bear
Much given away which II were sweet TO
God help us ALL who need, indeed, His
And Yet know the Shepherd loves His
sheep.
MY little boy begins to babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer
He has his fathers eager eyes, know
And, they say, too his mothers sunny
hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my
knee,
And can feel his light breath come and
think of one-Heaven help and pity me
Who loved me, and whom loved, long
ago.
Who might have been-ah! what 1 dare
not think,
We are all changed. God judges for us
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in heaven humbly for the rest
But blame us women not If some appear
Too cold at times, and some too gay and
light;
Some griefs gnaw de.p some woes are hard
to bear.
Who knows the past? and who can judge
us right?
Ahl were we Judged by what we might have
been,
And not by what we are-to apt too fall!
My little child-he sleeps and smiles be-
tween
These thoughts and me. In heaven we
shall know all.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Army to be Reduced.


WASHINGTON, May 70.-An order
of the army was agreed yesterday.
All soldiers ard non-commissioned
officers whose term expire before Nov
ember are to.be mustered out previous
to June 80, unless they give notice of
their intention to re-enlist. Two other
C asses ale also to be discharged, namely
minors and those who from any cause,
such as habitual drunkness, are not
fitted to make good soldiers. Officers
on recruiting service will have their
choice of returning to their regiments
or be put on the list of those waiting
orders. The property of recruiting
stations is to be sold. unless some one
can be found who will take it on stor-
age and trust the Government for pay.
The order fixes the strength of infantry
regiments at $40 men and non-commis-
stoned officers; artillery regiments at
$50, The cavalry regiments to remain
unchanged at 800. This will reduce
the nominal strength of the army to
about 10, 900 men.
DISCHARGE OF $500 ENLISTED MEN
WASHINGTON May 9.-The Secretary
of War to-day issued an order directing
that 2, 800 enlisted men of the army be
discharged between this date ard the
1st of July, in order that the retained
pay and other allowances due them
may be rald out of the appropriation
for the current fisical year. This dis
charge is made on account of the post
ponement of the extra session of Con-
gress. Had the session been called on
the 4th of June, as at first contem-
plated, the discharges would not have
been made for some months.
ANOTHER WAR CRY,
Added to his other troubles the cry
OF prescribing ''one-legged" soldiers
has now been raised in his own State
against the President.-Among the
pension agencies to be abolished by
his recent order is that at Cincinnati,
which is held by a general officer of
the late war who lost his leg in the
service, while the agency at Columbus

enemies of the President have seized
hold of this to stir up i'll feeling, but it
is probable that Lne mistake will be
Iectlfled.

1t is said by the friends of the other
candidates for Speaker that Gov. Til
den's influence is being excrted in the
interest of MIR. Randall. This is as
sured because Col. Pelton, who is
looked upon as the representative OF
Gov. Tilden, has written letters tc

Randall is apt. however, to make more
friends of himself than through any

The Philadelphia politicians recently arrest

L. TOBIAS,
ONE PRIcE CLoTHIER.

A remark recently made by resident oil
this place. to the effect that ''he could dc as
he pleased in his ROOM" has induced me to
send you an extract from Harpers' Monthly,
for January BOA
sThe essence of good manners is kind
thoughtfulness of others. The man who goes
to his room in hotel stamping and talking
through corridor, slamming his door, and
finging his boots heavily down upon the floor,
is merely brutally selfish. He is not aware
that he owes duties to other people who will
be affected by his conduct. He does not think
that he uuduly awakens some one to whom
sleep is indispensable, and whom he has no
right to disturb"
FIN answer to our correspondents extract,
we would remark that very skillful lawyer
stated in our hearing, that parties disturbing
the occupants of adjacent rooms by unseemly
noises during sleeping hours, could be sue
cessfully prosecuted at law for the offense.
