ing some months in Maryland, has gone
up into the mountains of West Virginia,
to look after State politics and stir up
the animals. 1t is half suspected that
his trip has something to do with
scheme 20 induce Senator Thurman to
leave the ungrateful State of Ohio and
take up his abode in that Democratic
Gibraltar, West Virginia. If the Pro-
fessor succeeds in sending Mr.. Thurman
to the Senate, he will deserve we'll of his
country, which already owes him three
or four hundred thousand dollars on ac-
count of patriotism.

1t is said that Secretary Sherman will
soon publish letter formally denying
that he will be a candidate for the
United States Senate from Ohio, having
been urged to it by friends who mean to
favor him as a candidate for the Presi-
dency, and who think it will be useless
to begin the selection of delegates for
him until this denial is made. If they
are not content with what he has already
said, and want to be perfectly sure, they
might request him to dissolve all doubt
by appending an affidavit.

If the politicians who are endeavoring
to bring about breach of friendship be-
tween Secretaries Evarts and Sherman
would devote as much energy to their
own affairs it is probable they would be
less dependent upon the Government for
support

Mr.. Eyarts has secured the cooperation
of England in preventing Mormons from
coming to this country. He can also
secure the cooperation of Georgia in
that laudable endeavor. If Mr.. Evarts
wants any Mormon missionaries Cost"
he has only to say so to our neighbors
across the southern border.

"Feler spoke disrespectful of my sis
ter; said he'd bet she was crosseyed, and
| sailed in" ''Is your sister cross-eyed?'
the reporter inquired. 'Haint got no
sister," was the reply. ut was the prin-
ciple of the thing what got licked for"

1t is the silly custom of Grants eulo-
gists to top out their perorations with a
grand allusion to the Generals standing
"undismayed and calm as sphinx be-
fore the crowned heads of Europe"
Those crowned reads are owned by a
number of weaklings who are controlled
by the brains of their prime ministers.
General Tom Thumb stood in their pres
ence as undismayed and sphinx like as
Grant.

The first Sunday School in England
was founded ninety-nine years ago, ano

Edward Beecher, whose golden wed
ding was celebrated on Mondly, though
not man of the style of Henry Ward
made himself talked about by writing {
book called the Conflict of Ages" il
which he argued in favor of the old no
ton that the souls of men had pre-ex
istence. Harriet Beecher Stowe gainet
fortune and fame by writing "Unclt
Toms Cabin" and all the family KEEP
themselves before the public eye. Bu
Henry Ward, the preacher, and Harriet
the story teller, were ahead of the rest
and maintained the name of Beeche
among the most notable in the country.
But what change has come over th'
Beechers and the Beecher name within
the last ten years! Mrs. Harriet Beeche
Stowe clouded her reputation by he
atrocious assault on the memory of tin
great poet Byron; and no matter for TIN
repute of Henry Ward as a pulpitee
and anti-slavery declaimer following il
the footsteps of Garrison and Phillips, i
can not obliterate or outlive the disgust
ing record of his adultery trial. HI
has degraded the name he got from hi
father.
1t is hard that the innocent shoul'
have to suffer for the guilty, and that tn
offense of the one should blast the happ
ness of another who had no share in il
but so it happens in this world. Still
old DR.. Lyman Beecher was the father c
a queer family of sons and daughter
men and women of big heads and stril
ing qualities though the moral sense an
moral courage of one of them proved t
be wofully perverted and shameful
lacking in time of trial.
