The Canard-The Author Of the Morey
Letter Discovered.

CHICAGO, October 26.
Stanley Huntly telegraphs the Tribune
frern New York that to-day the Republican
National Committee will expose the author of
the alleged Garfield Chinese letter. 1t is one
Kennard Phelps, of the editors of the Truth,
who was unearthed by Detective Lonergan,
in The employ of the National Committee.
Phelps is an expert in the imitation of all
kinds of chirography, and lately copied from
memory the names of all who signed the Dec
laration OF Independence in so silful man.
ner that look would indicate them as genu.
inc. He has mania for initiating handwrit-
ing. He is an active and able politician, and
practically controls the Truth. Huntley says
all the facts are authenticated and before the
Republican Committee, and would have been
published yesterday, but that General Arthur
interposed with the suggestion of delay III or.
der that the Democrats might have an oppor-
.unity of putting forth another fraudulent
letter. After the exposure and getting in cir
eulation such scheme was in contemplation,
and he says another forged letter will be pub
.Ishel IA Truth this week. Phelps can't be

AN APATHETIC PARTY.

The Republican party in Nevada is practi.
cally making fight without leaders, ammu-
milton or supplies The rank and file are in
the field full of confidence and enthusiasm,
while the leaders are skulking in the rear,
neither directing operations by their advice
nor encouraging it with their assistance Two
millionaire Senators, Senator j. P. Jones and
William Sharon, both reputed to be wsrth
millions of dollars, are allowing the State to
drift away from its old political meorings
without putting up dollar to stop it. jones
has received two official certificates from the
Republicans of Nevada which is equivalent to
twelve years in the Senate at 5000 year
and nothing else to do. We have yet to hear
that he is putting single dollar in this i'm
portant campaign. William Sharon, who has
been six years in Office and wants another
term, is in the field professed leader, but in
reality the heaviest dead weight the party has
ever carried. The only thing he is doing is
making speeches and every sentence he ut
!ers is campaign document for the Dem
ocracy A man withmillions at his command,
he refuses to pay dollar into the treasury of
the Central Committee, and the newspapers
which are making fight for the State ticket
will feel in extraordinary luck to get their
advertising bills paid What are the State
officers doing at the present time? Have
the officers in the State Capitol building
showed any disposition to take any active
Part in the campaign, Has any one-except-
ing Judge Beatty--made speech or contrib
uted dollar to the campaign. These men
all draw fat salaries and were placed in office
by the Republican party. 1t seems selfish
piece Of political insratitude that these Office
holders should in the hour of the party's
direst necessity held back the helping hand
when the telling employees of the Q. S. Mint,
females included. are being assessed to help
SO discouraging to the rank and file as to see
the trusted leaders, like the men spoken of
by David, who, "beins harnessed and carrying
bows turn themselves back in the day of bat
tie" In this fight the leaders have fedthe field
leaving the privates not only to make the
fight, but to pay for it. We're it not for the
sturdy courage of these last mentioned the
flag of the party would have ceased to wave
long ago. There is but one week left to
organize, form the lines and make the plan of
next Tuesday battle field. 1t is q matter of
national importance, for the loss of State
with but three electoral votes may place
Hancock and the Solid South in the Presi-
dental chair.

Hon. S. B. CHIrrENDEN, of Brooklyn, New
York, has offered $1,000 reward for evidence
that shall lead to the arrest of the Morey
letter forger, and as is shown in our tel.
egrams there is good reason for believing that
the culprit has already been discovered in the
Office of the Truth. An example should be
made of the man, and few years in the pen.

the situation and will repay perusal.

THE "MOWLING PACK.

The men who shouted for Sharon few
months ago are now cursing him.
Why?
He puts up no coin. The papers who pro-
fessed to believe that he was the best repre-
sentative the State ever had are now berating
him.
Why?
Ne sack. The Times is the last paper to
join the "howling pack which the APPEAL
has been credited with leading.

WHY WOOL SHOULD AID.
VANCE

The United States Economist, of re
cent date, gives the following reason:
why wool should advance:
/. No wool in the West.
2. Western manufacturers buying il
Eastern markets.
8. Stock of fleece lighter in the marke
than usual. ee
A. Wools held by strong holders. NJ
consigned wool of any amount to fore,
off if sellers get scarce.
5. The feeling i'll general that wool
must advance.
6.More wool has been sold to manu-
factures than is usual in December.
z. Manufacturers will be obliged to en-
ter the market soon.
8. East India and Mediterranean woods
will not prove satisfactory for general
use, as clothing woods and fleeces will be
more inquired for as the only suitable
stock, except English woods.
o. English fieeces are advancing rapid
ly, and will soon be too high to I'M
port.
10. The bulk of importations of Au-
stIalian and South American fine woods
are already placed to manufacturers
VINO can carry years supply II neces-
sary, and but little wills come on the
market.
IL. Australian and South American
woods are too fine for general demand,
al d X and above fieeces must be used
for many styles of goods.
y. The prospects are that the English
auctions in February will develop a
smart advance in prices for colonial
wools and put stop to any further i'm
portations of fine woods.
Is. The demand for woolen goods ex-
ceeds the supply.
IA. Manufacturers are getting an ad-
vance on goods with every contract.
Is. The country is prosperous in every
branch, woolen goods are lower IL an
other raw and manufactured products
and the trade in wool and woolens has
been legitimate in every particular and
almost devoid of speculation.

Killed af Her wedding.

In the midst of the great events of the
war such incidents as the following
were comparatively unnoticed and left
to be long afterward related in print:
Miss Anisie Pickens, daughter of the
Governor of South Carolina, was to be
married on April %, 1868, in Charleston,
to Lieut.. Andrew de Rochelle. The wed
ding party was assembled in pickens
residence. and the clergyman was ask
ing the bride if she was ready, when a
shell from q Union gun in the harbor
broke into the room and burst Nine
persons were hurt, but only Miss Pick
ems would proved mortal. She bore the
pain with wonderful fortitude and was
unmoyed when informed she had only
an hour or two to live. De Rochelle said
that he would like to have her die his
wife, and the poor girl smiled sadly in
assent. The guests remember the scene
as far more pitiful tnan they can de-
scribe. The bride lay on sofa, her
white dress dabbled in blood and her
hair disheyeled, while her pallid face
was so wrung with agony that her eff
forts to smile became futile. The cere-
mony,was harriediy performed though
the brides "yes" was in faint, labored
whisper, and her lips hardly moved in
response to her husbands kiss. She died

WHEN Thomas Buchanan Read wa:
in London during the first year of the
civil war he was invited one evening to
meet Mr.. Tennyson. As soon as they
were introduced Tennyson began to
speak of the war, saying: 81 have had
much sympathy with your country, Mr..
Read, but have withdrawn my sympa-
thy now. | feel bound to tell you that
your country is going to perdition, and |
don't mind it either. England. Mr..
Read, is not with the North in this bar
barous struggle" Read, nettled by this
rudeness, ,retorted thus: You need not
disturb yourself, Mr.. Tennyson, about
my country. 1t can get out perfectly
well without England or English sym
pathy. We intend to do our own fight
ing. You're giving yourself unne-
essarry uneasiness. To be plain, Mr..
Tennyson. we Americans of the North
don't care - about you Engllshmen,
and the sooner you learn it the more
trouble You will be saved" my rude

polite and kind after my explosion,

1t is the happiest and most virtuouk
state Of society in which the husband
and wife set out together. make their
property together, and, with perfect SYM
pathy of soul. graduate all their expen-
ses. plans, calculations and desires, with
reference to their present means and to
their future and common interest.
Nothing delights man more than to
enter the neat little tenement of two
young people who. within perhaps two
or three years, without any resources
but their knowledge of industry, have
Joined heart and hand, and engaged to
share together the responsibilities, du-
ties, interests, trials and pleasures of
life. The industrious wife is cheerful
ly employing her own hands in domestic
duties, putting her house in order, mend
ing her husbands clothes, or preparing
the dinner, while perhaps the little dar-
ling sits prattling on the floor, or lies
sleeping in the cradle, and everything
seems preparing welcome the happiest
Of husbands and the best Of fathers
when he shall come home from his toll
to enjoy the sweets of his paradise.
This is the true domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment, love, abundance,
and bright prospects are all here. But
it has become prevalent sentiment that
IA man must acquire his fortune before
he marries, that the wife must have no
sympathy nor share with him in the pur-
suit eff it-in which most of the pleasure
truly consists-and the young married
people must set out with as large and ex-
pensiye an establishments as is becom-
ing those who have been welded for
twenty years.
This is very unhappy; it fills the COM
munity with bachelors, who are waiting
to make their fortunes, endangering vir-
tue, promoting vice; it destroys the true
economy and design of the domestic in
stitutiOn, and it promotes idleness and
inefficiency among females, who are ex-
pecting to be taken up by Fortune and
passively sustained Without any care OF
concern on their part; and thus many a
wife becomes as a gentleman once re-
marked, not "help-meet," but "help-
eat"

Happy Thoughts.

| A weak man sinks under prosperity as
well as under adversely.
When our hatred is violent it sinks II,
even beneath those we hate.
| How great bounty it is to hold the
royal gifts of the soul that they shall bt
music to some, fragrance to others, and
life to all.
| 1t is with wit as with raZors, which
are never so apt to cut those they art
employed on as when they have lost
their edge.
As the soundest health is less per.
ceiyed than the lightest malady. So the
highest joy. touches us less than the
smallest sorrow.
No man can be brave who considers
pain to be the greatest evil of life; noI
temperate who considers pleasures to be
the highest good.
Worldly friendship is like our shad.
ow; while we walk III sunshine it sticks
close to us, but the moment we enter the
shade it deserts us.
The footprints of a barbarian in the
sand prove the presence of man to that
same atheist who denies the existence OF
Of a God of whose hand the whole uni
verse bears the impress.
The sweetest, the most clinging af-
fection is. often shaken by the slightest
breath Of unkindness, as the delicate
rings and tendrils of the vine are agita-
ted by the faintest air that breathes in
simmer.
Don't let us rejoice in punishment,
even when the hand of God alone in
tiicts it. The best of us are but poor
wretches, just saved from shipwreck.
Can we feel anything but awe and pity
when we see fellow-passenge swal-
lowed up by the waves?

A visit 10 she MenagerIe.

A reporter of the Star had occasion
to visit the menagerie at Central Park
few days ago. In the winter time wheI
the London Circus and "Barnum's Great
est are out of work, they send all thei
animals there, where they do nothing
but loaf around and eat. A large party
was gathered around the cages as thl
reporter approached, and man with /;

The scribe, who cannot bear to heal

was bruin, was about to withdraw, when
the man with the nose said to the man
with the pimple: Lets cease squire
ling and keep the young feller hare,
we can have rabbit of fun with him
1t makes me hungry to look cat at
him."
The reporter almost squailed before
the look the man gave him, but he was
by no means too chicken-hearted to
stand his ground. Lets look cat him"
said the man with the nose.
@What does acatamount to ?" asked the
other. hi.1
The whole party gathered round to
listen to the puns and the, leopard, and
strange to say, all the other animals

the front pews.

GRAMS OFGnID

wosJs are leaves. but deeds are
fruit.
Men judge us by the success of oul
efforts. God looks at the efforts them
selves.
If there is virtue in the world at
which We should always aim, if is cheer
fulness.
1t often happens that those of whom
we speak least on earth are best known
in heaven. -
Dost thou love life; then do not squan-
der time, for that is the stuff life is made
of.
No books are so legible as the lives of
men no character so plain as their NOR
al conduct.
He that does good for goods sake
seeks neither praise nor reward, though
sure of both at last.
As frost to the bud, and blight to the
blossom, even such is self-interest to
friendship; for confidence cannot dwell
where selishness is porter at the gate.
The virtue of prosperity is temper
ance; the virtue of adversely is forti-
tude. Prosperity doth best discover
vice; but adtersity doth best discover
virtue.
knowledge cannot be acquired with
out pain and application. 1t is trouble
some, and like digging for pure waters;
but, when once you come to the spring,
it rises up to meet you.
