Charges of dishonesty have recently
been set afloat against Ex-Governor
Brownlow, of Tennessee, which have re-
suited in letter from Mrs. Brownlow
and statements from many prominent
men. Commenting on them the Chat
tanooga Commercial says: at it not nee.
essary to say that the letter of Mrs.
Brownlow and interviews with R. T.
Wilson and others has entirely cleared
away the dastardly and cowardly impu
tations cast upon Governor Brownlow's
fame by the investigating committee.
Those who knew Governor BrownlOw
never for moment gave credence to the
SANDER. Brownlow had faults, but Of
dishonesty he was not capable"

Of fashion gives full account of every
thing new concerning dress, while the
articles of combination costumes, trim
mings, seasonable fabrics, shoes and
slippers, millinery, coiffures, lingerie, do
nestle art, ETC.. supply an abundance OF
information concerning those topics
The many fine illustrations and the su
perbly handsome colOred plate are, as
usual. very attractive feature.

its usual choice contents, among which
the PRINCIPAL attractions are an install
ment of Marv Cecil Hays charming Sc

The New York Tribune reminds Mr..
LIZ mar that JEFF. Davis has uttered a
great many words "since the close of the
war inconsistent with the greatness and
glory of the Republic" Last Fourth OF
July he made speech in Mississippi
which was an elaborate defence of seces
sion. The point of the whole speech was
that the promise to remain in the Union
was no longer binding, and that the
South, unless it can succeed in restoring
the old doctrine of State sovereignty r.
its fullest extent, will have a perfec,
right to rebel again. This is the man
whom the Democratic Senators eulogize,

now pleads guilty to great disappoint'

by many journals in the South, the Her.
aid says: "The political literature in q
large number of the Southern papers
just now irresistably recalls the war era,
which no portion of the country has more
interest in forgetting than the South. 1t
is to be hoped our red hot contempora-

sentative classes in the South. In the
most friendly spirit we warn our contem-

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNAL

In our reading of The chronological
journal and Science Of Health for April,
we were struck by the general tone Of the
magazine. Its aim is to elevate and j,
il pure in character in every department,
while entertainment aud instruction are
skillfully blended, no that its matter is
exceedingly interesting from beginning
toend. Indeed the chronological Journa,
is capital illustration OF what can be
accomplished in the way of making sci.
ence pleasant to the general reader. The
first sketch il that of the Rev. DIR. Fair,
an Episcopal divine of distinction in
Baltimore. Then comes q very inter.
esting description of the Chinese at
Home, in which the reader finds many
features that are entirely new to him.
and bearing closely upon the special
work of the chronological journal. The
installment of Brain and Mind fur.
nishes clear and definite applications of
the science to the delinestion of moral
qualities. An interesting article is that

One Of the good laws passed by the
legislature this spring is the one relating
to text books in the public schools
Under this law it is the duty of distric,
boards to select a series of books within
six months after the passage of the ac.:
and no change shall be made thereafter
within FIVE years except by petition of
four-ffths of the legal voters of the dis
trict. This will be a little rough on
school book agents, but will save lots of
money and bother to the patrons of the
schools.

IN the campaign OF 1878 we had
solid South, solid for the reputation
OF our national debt, made solid by
murder aud outrage, by shot guns
and whips. 1t is solid for robbipg
the treasury of the United States for
the payment of untold millions of
rebel claims against the government,
and it is solid, after getting all it can
from the treasury of the United
States, for the reputation of the
balance. A solid South for those
objects means solid North to
thwart those objects. And predict
that although, after the 4th day of
March, the rebels will have captured
when say rebels / mean no dis
respect to the northern men who
occupy seats in the Senate and
House-but what l do mean to say
is that the rebels are majority 10

ces and predict, my fellow oiti-
Gems, that, whether you nominate for
your standard bearer in 1880 the
man whom they didn't love and did
hate, and yet dear to the United
States-Grant or whether you nom-
mate that gallant standard bearer

nominate John Sherman, the present
secretary of tho treasury, that you
