CIIARIYARIEINR.

The nonaensical practice Of belling or
ehNrivarising a newly married couple,
should never have been tolerated in any
civilized community. The practice is
meeting with the hearty condemnation Of
all good citizens. But few days since
we heard one Of our citizens remark that
he would chastine u son quicker for this
oHense than any other which he might be
liable to commit. We have two recent
events in view which call for the abolish
mont OF the practice. The irst 10 a terri.

returned home with his bride, and during
the night lie had reception" The rus
tics who were not invited gathered about
the house and gave "belling." They
were warned to leave the house, but re-
fused, wherenpon the crowd was fred into
from the house with terrible effect. Nine
persons were wounded, the most seriously
hurt being Chas. Scar, Z. N. CoVendale,
aud John Heller. Two of the shooters,
named NIB. Kronse and John Moses, have
been arrested for assault and battery with
intent to murder, and warrants are out
for several others.

A party OF young people who ctariya-

The Last Picture Of LIncoIu,

Mr.. NOAH BRooKs, an intimate friend
OF President LINCOLN, writes as follows in
the "Midwinter" ScRIBNER, abont the last
photograph OF the President, n drawing Of
which by WYATT EATON has been engra-
we'd by COLE A frontispiece to the same
number Of the magazine;
One Saturday night the President asked
me II | had any objections to accompany
ing him to photographers on Sunday.
lie said that it was impossible for him to
go oH any other day, and he would like
to have ME see him "set." Next day we
went together, and as he was leaving the
house he said, "Hold on, have forgotten
Everett" Stepping hastily back, he
brought with him a folded paper, which
he explained was printed copy Of the
oration that Mr.. Everett was to deliver in
few days, Mt Gettysburg. 1t occupied
nearly the whole Of TWO pages of the
"Boston Journal" and looked very for

from the house, Lincoln said, at was

Hayes and Ills InunIsItors.

The times are now ripe for the rank and
file of the American people TO let their
opinion upon the opposition to President
Hayes be heard and felt. We can now see
clearly, what mauy believed at first, that
there is no just cause for conflict between
the President and the party which elected
him, and for that matter there is indeed no
conflict between HIM and his party.
We now see that the opposition te Hayes
comes from a certain class - large, when
considered alone, but small when taken in
comparison with the whole Republican
party, and this class is made up of Office
seekers and otace-Venders. It 10 claimed,
and that, too, by good men, that Hayes has
not properly rewarded those who made
him President. BY this they mean that
there ara certain men that labsred more
zealously than the rest to elect Hayes, and
who are therefore entitled to Offices filled
by others, and that Hayes has not kept his
promise made to such men. There may
or there may not be some truth in this, we
have our doubts about IN any promises hav-
ing been made, but il they were made and
have not been kept that wss a personal
matter, and Of no national consequence.
The moment Hayes took the oath OF office
he was the agent and servant of the whole
nation, and not Of one party or certain
favored few of n party.
II is now admitted that what Hayes has
done, and attempted to do, Was for the
general good of our Republic. YO: Conk-
ling proud, over-bsaring, Jealous and am
bilious; seeking, by office-vending, greater
and more extended honor, has taken upon
himself the task OF driving the President
out OF the Republican party, or compelling
him 10 submit TO the dictates Of Senatorial
demands, In this attack thus headed by
Conkling, are united the disappointed
Ofice-seekers througho ut the country, and
when We remember that for each Office in
the gift OF the Chief Executive or his ad-
Visers there were at least FIVE aspirants. we
can easily see that this attack is formidable.
We are not in the least disappointed that
men are found who find fault with Hayes.
He could not have taken any course which
would have pleased all, and those who now
elamor against him would have been
pleased with no course which did not give
them Offices.
1t is not claimed BY any that Hayes has
In any material point varied from the
course marked out by him in his letter Of
acceptance and inaugural address, which
all praised, and whlch Wers themselves
founded upon, and but expressive Of, the
spirit Of our platform aud the speeches OF
our party leaders. Hayes Is one who be-
lieves in keeping public faith, and all men
Of all parties should stand by him. We
feel sure that we voice the opinions and
sentiments of the intelligent voters OF the
Reserve, when we say the President sh ould
be suStained. It ia time for political lead
era to understand that they ARE to represent
parties and voters, and thai they own
neither. Hayes is known 10 be honest and
trne, which is more than we can say OF all
who oppose bilU.- Berea Republican.
