Another inconoclast now steps to the
front, and with an old document written by
one of the original Boston tea-spillers
proves that there were present at that in.
teresting seance "no white men disguised
as Indians" Oh, hang it, don't Top the
thing over limb by limb that way. Make
a clean thing OF it. There was no tea,
there was no ships, there was no tronble,
no stamp act, no dissatisfaction, no colo
MES, no war, no Fourth Of July, no moth
ing. George Washington was a myth,
the Revolutionary War was a hypothesis,
We are merely supposed to be existing,
and nothing is real but the historical moths
that destroy everything we ever believed.
By heaven, there were white men disguised
as Indians at that tea party; thousands
of em. We swear it we know it; We

Many are recommending as a remedy
for the existing distress in manufacturing
towns, that a portion OF the surplus labor
ers engage in the cultivation Of the soil.
Elihu Burritt, in a letter 10 the New York
Tribune, recommends that tract OF 1000
acres of wooded land in some part OF Nir-
ginia be purchased by company, and d.
yided into thirty-aere lots, and that 4 COL
ouy be formed thereon, allowing the mem-
bers from manufacturing towns to pay lorit
out of their earnings. This is well, but
we would suggest another plan, and that
Is that the large numbers OF men in man
ufacturing towns, who we're reared on
farms, should 90 back to farming, or seek
new homes in the Aroostook " here good
land can be obtained for a merely
nominal price, and be paid for in work on
roads 10 the settlers own door. The re-
turn Of ten per 'cut. Of the labOring pop
ulation in manufacturing towns to the cul-
tivation of the soil, would so relieve the
labor market that better wages aud more
continuous employment could be obtained
By those who remained.

In his recent speech against rcsump-
ton, in the House Of Representatives, Mr..
Ewing stated that the president Of the
Dayton and Southeastern railroad had
told him that hundreds OF men had been
Offering to work on the road for bread
and meat. President Mead of that road
states that he has no personal acquaint-
ance with Gen. Ewing, and never spoke
TO him about the Dayton and Southeast
ern OF any other road. He further says
that men have never yet offered to work
for bread and meat, and that the company
has, in fact, much trouble in employing
laborers at good wages. The contractors
Of the Springfield, Jackson and Pomcroy
narrow gauge road need a large number
of men to work on their road, aud offer
good wages to all who will apply for steady
employment. The laDoring men in Ohio
who are willing to work are in no
such condition as Ewing demagogically
represented, and the same is true Of work
ing men everywhere,

And in faint and broken voice
To her husband said:
"D-ar David, when my earthly form
Has turned to lifeless clay,

Nor throw yourself away.

On whom you may depend;
Oh! marry ArAmills Jones

Then you and Aramills Jones
Have been too smart and sly;

She left her bed Of pain;
A week had scarcely passed away

Life in this busy Capital is unlike that
found any where else. This is true in .
marked degree during the winter season,
full of it's gsyeties, it's levees and receptions
People do not live in Washington; they are
staying merely, gathering all that is bright
Joyous or exciting in life At the nation's
metropolis, and hither come the wealthy
and the gay. the modest retiring widow
the beautiful and accomplished maid, the
gallant, well-attired bachelor, and the
promising self, poised young man. In such
q gathering, amid all the excitement incl
dent to the meetings of Congress and the
disturbing and discordant views Of men
representing varied and diverse interests,
society is . whirl Of hustle, gayety and
pleasure. But hush-long expectant there
comes q sombre shadow, an air of stiffness
steals into every household and casts q
cloud Of sorrow over every heart. The
people mourn the loss Of one of her sons,
who will be remembered a. . man true to
his convictions Of duty in every public trial.
Republicans and Democratic, men Of all
claAses forget their political Differences and
unite in common sympathy with the nation
in mourning the death Of Senator Morton.
The genius developed at the Centennial
BY our country was Q marvel to the people
Of all lands, aud the eyes Of the civilized
world arc now looking towards this nation

A Strange Incident In the ca of No
StoneWall Jackson. n ii'., ,;D,

That was an awful day wyen the
Confederate lion, Stopewall Jackson,
crept upon poor Hooker hidden in
the Wilderness. Lee on ene side,
jackson on the other, and the woods
around Charlottesville shook and
trembled, and were almost swept
from the face of the eapth by the
whirring round shot, the kissing
shell and the screaming grape. shot.
Men were struck stone dead as the
battle line advanced or Aretrcated.
Whitehead recruits and bronze
faced veterans we're torn, to frag
ments and hurled against the living.
Wounded men fell in their tracks to
he crushed 10 the earth by theEreat
limbs cut from the trees By shot and
shell. The roar o. guns, the crackle
of musketry, the fierce shouts and
awful groans made such hell upon
earth of that battlefield az was
never seen before or after.
Fighting Joe Hooker was in q
box, but not a man in his great
army dreamed that it was 20 until
the long gray line of Stonewalt
jackson came creeping through the
quiet forest at three o'clock on, that
ever to be remembered I'd of May,
1868. The light earthworks had
been thrown up to face another way,
toward Lee. All lines faced Lee,
all men were looking for Lee, when
the three divisions of C0nfederates,
moving with soft step, took Hooker's
army in the rear, and drove one
brigade peil nell into and over
another until veteran soldiers were
without strength or presence of
mind. That awful night, when
THE WOUNDED WERE BURIED ALIVE
in the woods, and the dead we're
thicker than the leaves just broad.
ening into full life, a report ran
through the reorganized ranks that
the great StOnewall jackson had
been killed. Thousands believed it,
but three of MS, lying side BY side 10
the new battle-line born after night
came down, put no faith in the
rumor. Why We cid not is what ]
started to write about.
Stuart's cavalry had been follow
ing up Hookers army, but it VA
like Q rat following in the footsteps
of q horse. Lee was 20 tar away snd
coming up 20 slowly that Hooker
had time to throw up light earth
works, seize the best ground, fel
trees to protect his TANKS, and maxi
ready TO shatter and huri back tn
expected attack. On that I'd day o
May his soldiers, hidden in the wood
or lying in the fields, WASHED thei
