Around the idea Of ones mother the
mind Of man clings with fond eAec.
ton. Il IL the first dear thought
stamped upon our infant hearts, when
yet soft and capable Of receiving the
most profound impressions, and all
the after feelings are more or less
light in comparison. Our passions
and our wilfulness may lead us from
the object of our filial love; we may
become wild, headstrong and angry
at her counsels or opposition, but when
death has stilled her monitory voice,
and nothing but calm memory re-
mains to rccapitulate her virtues and
good deeds, affection, like a flower
beaten to the ground by rude storm,
raises up her head and smiles amidst
her tears. Round that idea, as we
have said, the mind clings with fond
affection; and even when the earlier
period Of our loss forces memory to.
be silent, fancy takes the place of re-
membrance, and twines the image of
our departed parent with a garland of
graces, and beauties, and virtues,
which we doubt not that she pos.

WORTHY OF IMITATIoS.-A man
died near Baltimore recently who
who wished no funeral honors should
he paid him, and in his will made a
special request OF that nature. He
wished plain shroud; no flowers; "no
mock display" no services in church;
no mark where he was buried, unless
some child or children should be NOV
cd to place one there; no mourning
garments for his family, as he was
persuaded this had become a solemn
mockery," and no eulogies over his
remains. "If there was one trait in
my character" he said, "worthy Of
imitation, then initiate it, and with
the last look bury my imperiections
and infrmities with my remains.
These requests he directed to have
read at his funeral. 1t is said that
the leading traits of the mans charac-
ter were honesty and truthfulness.

OF the Holmes verdict the Somer.
sei Reporter says; To our county
must attach the stigma of virtually
releasing this murderer upon society.
To accomplish THE The record IF the
past has been blurred over; a sickly
sentimenialism has been fostered; the
insidious whisperipgs and opinions be-
gotten Of jingling gold have been set
IN motion; witnesses have been sub
orned: and a line Of defense set up,
that for sophistry and absurdity would
disgrace a SET of ten.year-old school
boys. We have observed closely and
perceived the desperate means resort
ed to by the defense in this case, and
the influences brought to bear in man
uiacturing public opinion and creating
false sentiment. and feel that We
should be recreant To our duty IL such
should escape rebuke
In these times when peace officers
and our best citizens are shot down
for any imaginary oiIense, rod-handed
murderers stalk our every thorough
fare, and our State has become a scott
and by.word for crime, the only pre-
ventive. A. we conceive, lies in pub.
lie journalism. We do not hesitate
to say that we have no sympathy for
those men who have outraged society,
aud no respect for those cunningly
devised plans whereby criminals shall
be let loose TO further prey upon an
outraged Commonwealth. Only two
years in the Penitentiaryll One
year, we suppose for each man shot !

In the annual report of the Penn
sylvania Training School for feeble
minded children. tor 1878, two inter-
esting facts are noted. The statistics
of the institution show that a larger
proportion Of males than females are
admitted, the ratio being greater than
can be explained except ON the pre-
sumption that idiocy, like other in
frmities. strikes with most severity
the male; also that in the order of
birth nearly half the idiots are first

tive Of a special line of ills to which
the frst-born are peculiarly liable,
and to which they 50 oilen sue.
cumbeither in death or in enron
ic disease. These disadvantages the
superintendent remarks, are often
sad recountal of the young moth
er's unftness either for the genesis,
nourishmont, or intelligent care of her
offspring. II Is also noted that of the
whole number (2SS) present in the
institution at this date, 100 are half
orphans, and "a whole orphans. This
startling fact would seem to prove the
assumption Of some writers, that lido
cy is one of the results Of a degenera-
cy of race, by which, after long ex-
posture to facilitating influences and
exoesses, it ends in premature death,
in scrohla, idiocy or stirility.

Daniel Webster had an anecdote Of
old Father Scarf, the good minister Of
his boyhood, which is too good to be
lost IL was customary then to wear
buskin brooches in cool weather. One
Sunday morning in autumn, Father
Scarf brought his brooches down
from the garnet, but the wasps had
taken possession during the summer,
and were having nice time Of il in
them. BY dint Of effort he got out
the intruders and dressed for meeting.
But while reading the Scripture to the
congregation he felt a dagger from one
of the small WASTED fellows. and
jumped around the pulpit slappiug his
thighs. But the more he slapped and
danced the more they stung. The
people thought him crazy, but he ex-
planned the matter by saying "Breth.
rem, don't be alarmed; the word of
Of the Lord is in my mouth, but the
devil Is in my brooches :" Webster
always told it with great glee to the
ministers.

PHoToGRAPHY IN BANKING. The
London Nscs reports that the Bank
of France has for some time past en-.
ployed a Photographic detective 10 ex-
anime suspicious documents; and
more recently has placed an invisible
studio in gallery behind the cashiers.
Hidden behind some heavy curtain
the camera stands ready for work; and
at a signal from any Of the cashiers
the photographer secures the likeness
Of any suspected customer. 1t is also
reported that in the principal banking
establishment in Paris, several frauds
have lately been detected by the cam
era, which under some circumstances
exercises sharper vision than the
human eye. Where an erasure has
been made, for instance, the camera
detects it at once, let the spot be ever
so smoothly rubbed over, while aword
or figure, that to the eye has been per
fectly scratched out, is clearly repro
duced in a photograph Of the docu-
ment.

The TURNER WEAPoN LAw.-The
worst law, in many respects, on the
Statute Books is the Turner weapon
law, passed by the last Legislature. 1t
arms the desperate and dissrms the
respectable citizen. A man who cares
nothing for law, and always carries
his pistol (and there are thousands in
Kentucky who do so, is always ready
to shoot, while the honest citizen, who
out Of respect for the law never wears
Il weapon, is defenseless before the
rowdy. There Is no terror in the
land to draw the pistol from the hip
pocket of bad character, but it does
forbid a good citizen to arm himself
when threatened. We ought to have
an anti.weapon law, but one which
will give honest men chance to meet
villains, and to save his life when
threatened.-I Lexington (Ky.) Tran
script.

The Sunday law just made by the
North Carolina Legislature prohibits
the loading of freight and the run
ming of trains ON that day between
sunrise and shutdown. A State that
has damned itself by scaling its honest
debts can not secure salvation by pro-
hibiting trains from running on Sun
day. The Internal Regions are cram.
med with such morality as that.
