GEORGE AND THE LITTLE
RATCHET.

Governor Anthony, in his Commonwealth
editorial, August IL, tries to mislead the
public. He would like to deny that he
paid his travelling expenses, S2il5O, out of
the public funds, when he went TO WASH
ingtou to secure the Gray Baker appoint
meri. az charl upon him by Gen. Tsy-
lor.
He.says:
''No appoiat.aen Of any person was au-
thorized or tho- hit of, as Commissioner to
thAksris Expo lion, until two months or
more after the a7th OF November. Is77."
TIL Is 'bout as truthful as all the Gov
e-ao, II l:terspces.
A lev IL y ight be refreshing here. 1t
is known 70 assrly all the leading men in
Topeka liiat when Gov. Anthony returned
-om Washington, the latter part Of Novem-
Ser. 1871, he boosted of having procured
the recommendation of the delegation for
Mr. Gray, ans of having then obtained the
Presidents promise to appoint Mr.. Gray,
IN case he big should pass.
In srniieird,!Sa OF the passage of the bill
the Kansas papers were full of discussion
of the Kansas Commissionership. On the
18th of December, the bill or resolution
providing for Commissionerships was ap-
proved by the President on the same day

pointmeut Of Mr.. Meyer, said.

How They Nominate ''Parents'' n
the Oneida Community.
IInfeF-Ocean Is

For many years no children were born in
the Oneida Community. This was the will
Of the society, and the wishes Of individ-
uals counted as nothing. In 1869 the COM
munity decided by vote that certain num-
Der of children should ebe born, and Sc
lected the persons TO be the parents. This
rule is still followed, if the Utica Herald
is good authority, the community deciding
BY vote every time who shsll be the pa
rents of a child Commenting on this re-
pudiatiou of love and affection, the Hart
ford C1u ant says: As accounts have it
now the community holds together mainly
through the general desire Of each for his
share of the common possessions, which is
a sentiment precisely foreign to commun-
ism, while to the credit Of humanity, be it
said, the great disintegra,ing force il the
love of man and woman for each other "a
individuals, and disgust at the attempts
that have thus finally failed to extinguish
sentiment, affection, and self-respect."

A friend calls our attention to the Las,
verse of the eighth chapter of Zechariah
and asks if it might not vel. be regarded
~ prophecy of Beacons6eld's wonderful
pre-eminence in the Congress Of Berlin. Ii

the nations, eres 1.aA take hold Of The ski,t d

INDIANS.

The Indian war causes great loss to thou
sands of farmers in Oregon. Washington
and Idaho, directly and indirectly. The
savages have murdered few white people,
slaughtered cattle, burned houses, driven
off settlers, rendered property insecure, and
injured confidence; and white mauraders
have taken advantage OF the disorder, to
steal cattle and horses.

More M0mcnsum or More Manure,

The position to-day of the great families
that have illustrated the past history of
Boston and New England literature and
statesmanship, is chiefly remarkable Is
showing the preservaiive power of the COM
bination Of names and wealth. It is the
very perfection Of social embalming. That
many Of these families still make . credit
able appearance, is true, but none Of them
exhibit the ability by which their original
reputation was achieved. This result may
be considered a. due to the inertia Of people
who are not obliged to make = name for
themselves, or to the tendency Of ground
that has produced rich crops to become
barren. More momentum or more manure
may be what il needed. But there is prom
Use enough in what remains of the old fam
lilies of Boston to encourage the belief that
with the infusion of new blood their future
will be worthy their past position.

Empire we're not exaggerated. And now
comes the official report of deaths BY fam
