introduced q bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to place General Ord on the retired
list with the rank and pay OF Major
General.
The Senate refused to adjourn until

The Fertilization bill was received
from the House and referred to the
Committee on Appropriations; also, the
Joint resolution for an adjournment
IRON the 22d instant to January 5.
The morning hour having expired, the
Educational bill came up again.
Teller approved the purpose Of the
Educational bill. but proposed materially
to amend it. He showed that the chief
benefciaries under the bill were the
Southern States, where there was the
most iiliteracy. There were perhaps
1000, 900 Of children Of the age contsm-
| plated in those States. and the interest

| give only about seven cents apiece to
these children, an amount practically
useless. He favored devotinR the prin.
cipal at once to the establishment OF
schools, 10 that the present generation
could be educated Herewith. The illit-
erscy, OF course, would slowly decrease
from year to year. but not appreeisbly
faster on account Of the small aid pro-
posed. The wise policy Was to make 1t
possible for every child to DO educated
at once. The evil was o OF today
more than OF tomorrow. He did not
favor az appropriation Of part Of this
money to colleges. but wanted 1t all to
co to the support OF common schools.

A leugthy discussion followed. during
which Senator Edmunds announced that

For Husbands Only.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
SIM, writing from California, says: A
cure for wife whipping was authorized
by the last Legislature OF Nevada. The
authorities of Austin, mining town in
that State, have erected whipping post
TO punish summarily wretches who
abuse their wives by blows. We wish
it were practical to apply appropriate
correction to the no less unmanly tyran-
ny of unfeeling exactiOn and cruel words
by which too many husbands keep their
wives in never-ending torment. If man
had the bains he boasts he would speak
ever kindly to the mother of his house
hold, if it were only for selfish motives.
Make your wife happy by tender and af-
fectionate treatment, and you will make
your home a paradise more precious
than gold and costly mansions. We
admire the Hindoo parable and believe
its instructions that describes a woman
at the gates of Heaven praying that her
naughty husband might be admitted.
"He was ever kind and true to me, and
if you would make me happy 1 must
share with my husband" Instantly the
portals opened and the angel bid him
enter. Because of thy wife's prayer
thy sins are forgiven. Who live in har-
mony on earth, in heaven are not divi-
ded."

Sherman's Campaign Bills.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 22.-Mr. Richard
Smith, who was personally cognizant of
the circumstances, makes the following
explanation of the Foster-Sherman Chi
cago hotel bill in the Gazette of to-mor-
row: "Mr. Sherman had provided for
the payment of certain legitimate ex-
penses, for which purpose he placed
funds in the hands of his special repre-
sentative; not a large amount, but
enough. Upon the nomination of Gen.
Garfield, Gov. Foster, with his charac-
teristic liberality, told that representa-
tive that he must not pay out another
dollar of Secretary Sherman's money,
to return to him the balance on hand,
settle all unpaid bills according to agree
ment and draw on him for the funds ne
cessary to meet them. That was done,
and that is all there is about it. There
never was question as to the payment
of hotel bills or any other claims, and
Secretary Sherman was not consulted
with reference to the arrangement, and
knew nothing about it." 1t is under.
stood that the representative of Mr.
Sherman to whom Mr.. Smith referred
was Thomas M. Nichols, of the Hard
money League. The amount paid by
Foster was about $4,000.

The Census.

Arrangements have been concluded to
take the census of all the organizations
which include as part of their faith
and practice the principle Of noncombat-
ancy and nonlitigation. This will in
clude count of the Quakers, Duakards,
MennOnites, and the many minor organ
izatiens in the country holding to peace
views. The supervision of the work
will be in the hands of DIR. Henry Ran
dali Waite, of New York, and the prae-
tical part of the work will be done by
Howard Miller, of Lewisburg, Pa. Prof.
Miller was Supervisor of Census of the
Eighth Pennsylvania District, and upon
the completion of the difficult and i'm
portant task he has undertaken, the nu-
merical strength and geographical dis
tribution of this excellent class of people
will be known. Aside from its being a
matter of great public interest, it may
prove of great benefit to the members of
these fraternities in possible emergen-

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CoCKBURN, late
ly deceased, was neither a great Judge
nor truly good man, although he occu-
pied the highest judicial position in
England. He was not married to the
person with whom he lived as a wife.
He provided fat places for his illegiti-
mate son in the Courts over which he
presided, and he created a scandal in
London society by asking to have his il
legitimate daughter presented at Court
"A modest request which was promptly
denied, as her Majesty is so particular
in these matters that she will not re-
ceive divorced woman, however esti-
mable she may otherwise be. Why the
Lord Chief Justice should have declined
to comport himself according to the con-
ventional rules of society-leaving out
of view all questions of morality and
Divine command-is mystery. What
ever were his reasons for so doing, while
his disregard for such rules did not pre-
vent his professional and political sue
cess, there is no question that it prevent
ed him from attaining a place at Court
and in the Peerage to which his abilities
and great services and splendid attain
ments would have otherwise entitled
him.

WIDE AWAKE is winning golden opin-
ions in England, a large and splendid
edition of the magazine being now pub
1ished in London for the benefit of our
young cousins over the sea. The Lon
don Literary World, high critical au-
thority, has this to say of it:
"This is very sumptuous monthly full
of such reading as may crafty the va
ried tastes which children as well as
grown-up people, cherish. Its illustra-
tions, we are bold to say, are not to be
matched in our own children's month
lies. They have the effect of drawings,
and not that often singularly unfaithful
reproduction of a drawing, called an en-
craving. AS soon as this very striking
magazine becomes known, many homes
will be thankful to the. English publish
ers for bringing it within their reach.'

An Editorial Canvass.

The Cleveland Herald suggests Hon.
Lecky Harper, editor of the Mount Ver-
non Banner, as the next Democratic
candidate for Governor. But if Harper
is nominated we must have a Republi-
can editor to run against him, and Andy
Francisco. of the Ohio State Journal, or
Isaac f. Mack, of the Sandusky Regis
ter, would be forced to come to the front.
Both would make vigorous canvass
and both would administer State affairs
ably. 1t is about time something was
done for the Ohio editor, who has done
more to promote the welfare and great
ness of the Commonwealth than anybo-
dy else. This is solemn fact, breth-

Dropping a Seed.

The land was still; the skies were gray
with weeping;
Into The soft brown earth the seed she
cast,
"0h. soon," she cried. "will come the
time of reaping,
The golden time when the clouds and
tears are past"
There came whisper through the au-
tumn haze,
yea; thou shalt find it after many days"
Hour after hour she marks the ftful
cleaning
OF sunlight stealing through the
cloudy lift;
Hour after hour she fingers, idly dream
ing,
To see the rain fall and the dead leaves
drift,
'Ohl for some small green cf life~ she
prays,
Have 1 not watched and waited many
days?"
At early morning, chilled and sad, she
hearkens
To the stormy winds that through the
poplars blow;
Far over hill and plain the heaven
darkens,
Her field is covered with a shroud of
snow,
"Ah, Lord, she sighs. "are these thy low
ing ways?"
He answers: "Spake l nOt of many days 2
The snowdrop blooms; the purple viO-
let glistens
On banks of moss that take the spark
ling showers;
Half cheered, half doubling yet, she
strays and listens
To finches singing to the shy young
flowers;
A little longer still His love delays
The promised blessing after many days.
o happy world! she cries, the sun is shi
ming
Above the sod l see the springing
green;
l could not trust His word without re-
pining,
l could not wait in peace for things
unseen:

praise;
My doubling heart prolonged thy many

A QUAINT and tender little anecdote
of Mrs. Lucretia Mott is related in Har-
per's Weekly. The writer, when passing
on the roadside one day the stone wall
of her country home near Philadelphia,
saw ranged on the top of it rows of ap-
pies and pears. There had been more
than enough on the trees for family
needs, and the sweet-hearted old Quaker
grandmother had placed these treasures
on the wall for the stranger children
who passed by. Mrs. Motifs sympathy
for suffering was not thing of rehec-
tion. She not unfrequently in winter
would remove some portion of her own
warm clothing, and throw it over half
frozen woman who came begging to her
door.

JULES VERNE once wrote an interest
ing story of the adventures of three i'm
aginary Englishmen in crossing Africa
from east to west in a balloon. The diff
fculties of such a journey, the writer
thought, could only be overcome by voy-
aging through the air. But DR.. Emil
HOlub, an Austrian, proposes, in sober
earnest. to undertake much greater
African journey, and that, too, without
calling in the aid of balloon. DR., Holub
intends to start. at the Cape of Good
Hope and penetrate northward through
the interior of the continent until he
comes out in Egypt. He estimates that
he can accomplish the feat in three
years, and that it will cost him $4,000
flOrins to do it. As he has only 5000
forins, the Vienna Geographical Society
has undertaken to raise by subscription
the remaining $4,000 florins. If DIR.
Holub succeeds in his undertaking he
will have better story to tell the world
than any that the French scientific ro-
mancer ever invented.
