The celebration on Saturday OF the one
hundredth anniversary of Wasbington's cross
ing the Delaware at what was then Coryelps
ferry. was animated by strong home pride
in revolutionary memories which other lOcali-
ties might well initiate, and which would pre-
serve the recollection of more picturesque
Incidents of the great struggle. A letter on
another page gives the incidents of the cele-
bration, not the least interesting Of which
was the presence of an old lady whose life
has spanned the whole century between the
real and the mock crossing.

looking back at the pretty figure in the

she replied, "but fifteen dollars per

"sKETCH OF LORD BYRON LIFE.

Lord Byron" was an Enslhhmsn,
A poet believe,
His first works in old England
Was poorly received.
Perhaps it was Lord Byrons" fault,
And perhaps it was not;
His life was full of misfortunes,
All, strange WAS his lot.
The character of "Lord Byron
Was Of low degree,
Caused by his reckless conduct
And bad Company.
He sprung from an ancient house.
Noble, but poor, indeed,
His career on earth was marred
By his own misdeeds.
Generous and tender hearted.
Afectionately by extreme,
Ind in temper he was wayvSfd,
And poor "Lord" without means,
All, he was q handsome fellow,
With great poetical skill;
His great intellectual powers
He could not use at his will.
He was q sad child of nature,
Of fortune and of fame
Also sad child to society,
For nothing did he gain.
But slander and ridicule
Throughout his native land,
Thus the "poet Of the passions"
Lived, unappreciated, man.
Yet at the age Of "a
Lord Byron" then had gained
The highest, highest pinnacle
Of literary fame.
All, he had such violent passions,
They were beyond his control;
Yet the public with its justice
Sometimes would him extol.
Sometimes, again, Lord Byron"
Was censured by the press;
Such obloquy he could not endure.
So he done what WAS the best.
He left his native country,
This great unhappy man;
The only wish he had, its said,"
He might die sword in hand.
He had Joined the Grecian army,
This man of delicate frame;
And there he died in distant land
And left on earth his fame.
Lord Byron" age was SO years.
Then closed the sad career
OF the mott celebrated "Englishman"
OF the nineteenth century.

WILL HE M UTl

A correspondent writing from ST. Peters
burg says that the Gar is seriously indis-
posed-weak and SO thin that he sits on
pillows and soft cushions to prevent the
bones from coming through the skin. He
is depressed, too, with presentiment of his
approaching death. NoRomanoff has lived
beyond sixty, and he will be sixty in April.
When his sister died, some two years ago,
she reminded him of this, and told him he
must 60 before he was sixty. They say her
words made deep impression upon him
then, and now that he is not we'll, they con-
stantly occur to him. Will he ou.live his
anceston, or will he die within his sixty
years. Will he live to sec the fruits of the
war secured to his empire, or will he, like
Moses, only be permitted to see the prom
ised land, without going up to possess it?

and her husband reclining upon the lounge

TARIFF ONTYPE.

The twelve type foundries of the country
are trying to get Congress to add fifteen per
cent. custom duty on news type and thirty
per cent. on job type. The Des Moines
Register states our views on this subject very
clearly, and gives some good and timely
advice when 1t says:
What ought TO be done is TO do lust the
other thing, and put type on the free list. A
good way 10 head this OFF is for every news
paper publisher and printer in the country
to write 10 their Congressman and ask
him TO vote for their interests, and the inter-
est Of the public, and let the type foundry
men take care Of themselves. We think they
can do ii, at the present prices they are chayg-
ing for type, and not starve or be mistreated.
The duty proposed would virtually pro-
hibit the importation Of foreign type and
leave newspaper publishers at the mercy of
the twelve foundries in this country, which
would then be at liberty to get up any cor
ner on prices they might see fit. If any
change at all is to be made it ought 10 be
in the direction of a decrease, and the best
interest of the greatest number will be
served when the duty on type is entirely re-

GREENRACKN

During all our changes Of financial pol
icy, Gen. Butler has always been on the
right side. lie held that it was the right
and duty Of the government to redeem its
fve-twenty bonds in greenbacks, up to the
time Of the passage of the act declaring
that currency bonds should be paid in
coin. He has steadily advocated the green
back in place of the national bank note,
and he has been one Of the ablest advocates
of the reconciliation of silver. Referring
to his recent great financial speech in the
House the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says:
He predicted that the reconciliation OF
silver would stop the contraction Of property
value, that debt would no longer go up
while everything else goes down. The speech
was q covert greenback argument. At its
conclusion he declared that for general cur
rency he wanted the greenback. and quoted
his speech of nine years ago, which then at
tracted as much attention as his present plat
form.

The above 10 the title Of a paper in the
current number of STibner's Monthiy
which deserves and should receive a care
full perusal by all the parents in the land.
A great many persons suppose that the ex-
citing yellow covered" literature which
boys SO eagerly devour, fosters love OF
books, and they imagine that such reading,
is not instructive or in any way beneficial
of itself, may prove to be stepping stone
to something better. But quite the reverse
Of this is true, for instead Of breeding a
boys mind up, it units it for the considera-
ton Of any sensible subject, and
causes it to constantly crave more exciting
tn mes, until it becomes completely poison
ed, and is in fit condition
for any bad influence. A nervous
impatience is begotten, which broods
no correction or reproof, then comes disobe-
dience, and then open revolt against home
discipline, and the boy who gave promise
of becoming useful man, has gone COM
pletely to the bad. In The TINES of day

paper an account of two precocious youths,
aged respectively IL and IA years, who stole
large sum Of money from their guardian,
and each armed with revolver, bowie

SENATOR INGALLS,.

In our columns this morning will be
found a lengthy extract from the Congress
siOnoi Record, giving report Of the debate
in the Senate on the proposition to restore
TO the pension rolls the names Of those sur
yivors Of the war of 1872, whose pensions
were cut off because Of their residence in
the South during the rebellion. 1t is in
teresting to the public at large, as setting
forth the views Of distinguished men upon
this question, but it is especially interesting
to Kansas readers, because it serves to show
the prominent part taken in the discussion
by Senator ingalls,.
This debate, and the reports Of other
debates upon other important subjects re-
ceived BY telegraph from day to day, show
that Mr.. Ingalls, takes conspicuous part
in the discussions of the Senate, and is
ranked among the foremost members Of
that body. His constituents will remember,
with pardonable pride, that very early in
his Senatorial experience he was compli-
mented by recognition OF the fact that he
was one Of the best presiding officers in
the Senate, and it is still more graf.
flying to know that he is regarded by
his fellow members, as we'll as by the pub.
lie at large, as one Of the leading men in
the Senate. During his FIVE years of service
Mr.. Ingalls, has done credit to himself and
honored his state.

The latest interesting subject of social
comment in Washington is the engagement
of Senator Don Cameron to Miss Lizzie
Sherman, daughter of Judge Charles Sher-
man, Of Cleveland, Ohio, and niece to Gen.
eral Sherman and Secretary Sherman. The
young lady has been at the Capital since
the beginning of the season, visiting the
family of her uncle, the Secretary, in whose
hospitable house she has been a bright Or
nament. She is about twenty-five years of
age, tall and very graceful, and is regarded
as very beautiful and one Of the most popu-
lar and accomplished young ladies in
Washington society. The engagement was
announced last Monday at a lunch party at
Secretary Sherman's house. The date of
the marriage has not yet been made public.
Miss Sherman's elder sister is the wife of
General Miles, well known to Leavenworth
society. Senator Cameron is forty-fiye
yean old and has five children. The eldest,
a daughter of twenty, is now the mistress
Of her fathers elegant house.
