These are the lessons of Decoration Day,
and the growing dispOsitio of the people
to observe the day shows how these vital
convictions are sinking deeper and deeper
into their hearts year by Y ear.
BETTER TnnIS
Times grow better unmi stakeably. Not
that men are making fortunes in a month !;
not that ordinary investm ents pay ten or
fifteen per cent; not that ordinary busi-
ness profits are large enough to justify
reckless luxury of living; not that every
plausible fellow can raise unlimited capi-
tai to deYelop his latest device for making
a sure thousand out Of an investment of
paltrv hundred. Times are no better that
Eay than they were; chaps who live only
by their wits are little fUrther from the
aforesaid wits end than formerly. But
real legitimate trade is better; the volume
of general business is now steadily increas-
ing: profits are reasonable, not large; con-
ideuce is almost wholly restored; men
breathe more freely. Real estate is par
tally recovering and seems to be slowly
rising in value. In many localities rents
have been advanced this Spring and les
sees have consented. Capital is plenty for
any solid. safe investment; interest is low
er than before in forty years, and the mar
gin on gold has disappeared. The num-
Der of unemployed has diminished mater
isllv in the last year. Now let some grnmb-
ler make something else out of this than
''better times" if he can. MORLEY.

CONGRESS.

The New York Herald thus remarks
concerning the present attitude Of our
Democratic Congress:
Zone result the struggle over the War
ner bill has had, it has committed the
mass Of the Republican party to an honest
dollar and has led the mass Of the Demo
Gratis to blunderingly commit themselves
TO fraudulent dollar. Both parties claim
10 be metalists, but the Republicans in
sisted shrewdly and properly that the silver
dollar ought to contain dollars worth Of
silver. The Democrats, with, however, a
number Of shining exceptions, insisted that
the silver dollar, the coin peculiarly Of the
farmers, mechanics and lsborers, paid to
them, if it is used at all and paid out by
them TO the small dealers, shall contain
but eighty-fve cents worth Of silver,
while the gold dollar, the dollar paid out
in large transactions, should contain 100
cents. The Republicans would be greedy
if they asked for better issue than this to
carry before the people. They will explain
on every stump in the country that the
Democrats are attempting to swindle the
mass of the people into swindling eighty
five cent dollar, and the Democrats will
find it impossible to get rid Of this DANA
ging charge.

In RGme last year there was model
girl named Guglia Setaeci, who was q
wonder of beauty among all the paint
ers and sculptors. Two noted sculp-
tors, who were brothers, Ernesto and
Gabriel Bagnagetti, fell desperately in
love with the siren, who was as CO.
quettish as she was beautiful, and the
result was q fierce quarrel, in which
ErnestO was killed; after which the
beautiful cause of the fratricide fed
with young brigaRd, while the muir
derer escaped the law only to fall
victim to the most racking and mad
dening remOrse. The image of the
dead brother returned to him in the
guise Of love, as he had been before
the beautiful Guglia had estranged
them, and his love for the woman
turned to bitter hate. He conceived
what the Italians believe in as q sort
of superstition and duty, a vendetta,
that is, q sworn vengeance. He dis
guised himself, and, upon the report
of q visit to Paris, frequented the
haunts Of the thieves and brigands of
Rome, where Guglia habitually went.
he was not long in finding her, but it
took six months TO persuade her into
his residence and win her confidence;
which he did, however, at last, and
under 80 perfect q disguise that she
never suspected who he was. In car
rying out his vendetta he had become
poor, and was obliged to work at wood
carving to make a livelihood. He
carved figures Of saints, and the work
was so beautiful that the saints never
waited long for purchasers. One day
Guglia disappeared suddenly, and
three days afterWard her mangied
corpse was found In the Tiber; but
who the murderer was nobody could
even suspect. The wood-carver disap-
peared ten days afteFward, and in his
room the landlord found the blood
stained garments of the beautiful mod
el-girl, and keen sculptor's tool, with
evidences on it of the crime; so that it
was plain that Guglia's last friend-the
wood-carver-had done it. But where
to find him was the question which no
detective could answer. In the mean
time the ulptor, who had been sup
posed to be visiting Paris, appeared in
Rome again. A few weeks ago, long
after the crime had ceased to interest
anybody, an artist happened to be in
the police headquarters and noticed
figure in wood of st. Sebastian, and
was so much struck by its beauty that
be inquired why and how it came in
such place,
"W6y," said an officer, Z" the saint
was made by the wood-csrver who
murdered the pretty model-girl. He
left it when he ran of"
"Then,'' exclaimed the artist, tI
can tell you who the murderer is; for
IN swear that figure is the work of
Gabriel Bagnsgetti. No other sculp-
tor in Rome could have done it.
Gabrieps remorse had BEEN wiped
out by the accomplishment of his
vendetta; but no sooner did the officers
confront him with the figure of San
Sebastian, and the opinion of the artist,
than he burst into a frantic fit of rage
and confessed the crime. His artistic
skill had betrayed him through all his
precautions, and by means of his patron
saint.

A CHARAcTERIsTIC incident Of South
American politics is reported by the
Buenos Ayres' correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette. Don Carlos Soto,
formerly Consul of the Republic of
Uruguay, in London, organized con-
spiracy against the life of Col. Latorre,
Governor of the Republic. AS he was
describing his plan of action at a meet
ing of the eonspirators held in a room
of the barracks of the Third Regiment
of the line, the door opened suddenly
and Latorre walked in. Advancing up
on Soto, the Governor quietly said:
s' Before you kill me, Carlos, 1 viii kill
you," and struck him on the head with
a loaded whip. Soto fell to the ground,
and soldier of the Governors suite
dispatched him with a dagger. Not
withstanding this, Latorre is, says the
correspondent, almost popular in Uru-
quay.

which he lived. The colored people Of this
State are far more prosperous than are
their brethren in the Southern States.
This is TO be attributed to the fact that for
eight years the State was under RePubli-
can rule, when the negro was encouraged
to labor snd was protected in all his rights.
But IS soon as the Democracy resume their
bulldozing and tissue ballots frauds, the
negroes viii move out by preconeerted ae-

be worth their annual taxes.

MUNICIPAL POwERs.-A bill passed the

operation Of which, cities, villages, and

application to the legislature for an en-
actmsnt for each and every improvement
wanted. Heretofore special laws to the
number Of 100 or 200 for such purposes

Of the assembly. Such general act has

last elections in Georgia, showing that In
some districts the total vote was less than
1000. Hill tried to explain by saying
there was no opposition to the Democratic
candidates, and Mr.. Blaine drove him into
passion by inquiring why, in districts
where Republicans used to have large ma
jorities, they didn't dare to run candidates
new. should not forget to say that Hill
has not yet explained his action in voting
for secession, as discovered by Mr.. Blaine
notwithstanding that two.sided rebel has

The Southern exodus continues. 1t is

The President have been interviewed on
the subject, and is semi-oficially reported

power of the National Government will be
exerted, if need be, to keep it free. In
this position he will be sustained not only
by the whole North, but also by respects-

exodus to be good thing for the South,

that the negroes can easily stand the

From ne Herald.


The TELEGRAPH, q Republican paper
published in Ashtabula, prints long edi-
torial under the head Of 'fCigars and
Sideboard." 1t appears that one of the
reporters Of the Herald, in a dispatch to
this paper, made a playful allusion to
'tfree sideboard" kept by Mr.. Foster while
he was in Cincinnati. The statement was
alluded to in religions discourse delivered
ct Ashtabuls in a manner rejecting upon
Mr.. Foster, and naturally excited Some
feeling among the friends of that gentle
man. We desire. in justice to all persons,
to say that we were personally present in
Mr.. Fosters room repeatedly during his
canvass, and We know that the only hospI-
tality he dispensed was to offer a cigar to
his friends and give them plenty of cold
water from the side-bOard. If anybody
has been misled by the report in the Herald
we desire 10 make the correction at once,
this being the first time our attention has
been called to the matter.
