The Willows at St. Helena.
Pail Mall Gazette.

The willow which overshadows the
first Bonaparte's grave is tho second
planted since the interment Of the En-
peror, and is 26 years old. Willows at
St: Helena, it would appear, rarely at
tain greater longevity than so years,
and shoots are carefully preserved for
planting. The ex-Empress Eugene
brought away some shoots and few
violet and geranium plants from the
tomb, some for presentation to her
majesty the queen, and some for her
self and friends. This floral cuNus has
been going on for nearly sixty years.
Writing to Lord Bathurst, imm ediately
after the interment of Napoleon, Sir
Hudson Lowe said: II shall cause q
railing to be put around the whole of
the ground, it being necessary even for
the preservation of the willows, many
sprigs of which have already begun to
be taken by different individuals who
went down to visit the place after the
funeral" This is the incident which
as Mr.. Forsyth has we'll pointed out,
was afterwards so ludicrously yet so
inadvertently distorted by Antom-
march,, who described Sir Hudson
Lowe as turning pale and foaming at
the mouth with rage when he witness
ed this Spontaneous manifestation of
feeling" Hudson" as the Italian sur
geon described Sir Hudson Lowe, en-
deavored to check the manifestation of
feeling" by anger and threats; but the
guilty were numerous, and of all classes
of people, and he could not, therefore,
punish.

life thus far, think of nothing that so

life thus far, I think of nothing that so
fills me with pleasure as the planning
of these. sieges, the revolving in my
mind of plans for scaling the walls Of
the future; of gaining access to the
inner soul-life, and at last seeing the
besieged party won to q fuller apprec-
iation of himself, to higher concep-
ton of life, and of the part he is to
bear in it." On other occasions he has
remarked. ut is a great point gained
when ayoung man makes up his mind
to devote several years to the accom-.
plishment of a definite work" "With
the educational facilities now afforded
IN our country, no young man who has
health and is master of his own &C
tons, can be excused from not obtain
ing a good education" He lately said,
with n,uch warmth of feeling, "if the
supreme being Of the universe would
look down upon the world to find the
most interesting object, he would see
the unfinished and uniformed character
of young men and young women"
In an address made some years ago
to the members OF literary society, at
Hiram College, he uttered the following
eloquent passage:-"Having passing
the limits Of childhood. and being about
to enter the larger world of manhood,
with its manifold struggles and aspira-
tons, you are now confronted with the
question, What must do to fit my
self most completely, not for being
a citizen merely, but for being all
that doth become a man, liv-
ing in the full light of the chris
tan citizens of America? Your disin-
thralled and victorious country asks
you to be educated for her sake, and
the noblest aspirations of your being
still more imperativ]y ask it for your
own sake"
It is but natural for IL powerful man
with such training and such impulses
to utter the most eloquent thoughts in
his political addresses to young men,
and to lead them to adopt his political
opinions. He cannot avoid engaging
their respect and good will, as he leads
many Of them to recognize their abili-
ties, and to attain to situations of use
fulness and honor. His brilliant sue
cess must stimulate those who are dill
gently studying in our higher schools,
amidst discouragements and protract-
ed labor, to complete their course and
fill exalted ideals in their subsequent
lives. His election this fall as president
Of the United States would give the
opportunity for him to influence the
character and advance the standing of
young men, as no other political leader
has ever done in this country.

4 Female Convert to Judaism
New York Union,

This morning at the Synagogue in
St. Joseph street was performed the
imposing ceremony Of receiving a
Christian woman into the Jewish faith.
Mrs. Morse, whose husband is a Jew,
was the applicant, and after due DELHI
Grafton and preparation on her part
she appeared before the Rev. Max Moll
of the Aitz Ramon congregation, and
wit due ceremony was received. At
the beginning Of the exercises the rev.
erend gentleman stated that he had a
very solemn duty to perform, that a
Christion lady, Mrs. Morse, was desir-
Gus Of embracing Judaism. The lady
was then called forward, and Mr.. Moll,
addressing her, said that she had en-
treated him to permit her to become
acquainted with the Jewish faith, and
expressed her willingness to become Il
Jewess. He informed her that it was
no easy task to perform the obligations
of the faith, and asked her if she still
wished to accept it. On her answering
in the affirmative, she was examined as
to her knowledg e of the doctrines, and
replying satisfactorily, reciting the Ten
Commandments and explaining the
Importance of the Jewish church holi-
days, she was received into the faith
and named Sarah, Mr.. Moll then pray
ed that she might prove faithful to her
promises, after which the ancient bene-
diction was pronounced, and the con
gregation dispersed.

boy of IL, consented to have portion
OF the skin of his hip and leg transfer
red. For some reason the flaps died.
The boy is still at the county hospital,
not yet cured of the incision made upon
him. Two or three weeks ago, a sheep
was prepared as the one Of yesterday
was, but the animal died ON the follow
ing night.
Little Aggie Sheehy received her in
jury on March 16, 1878. Her parents
live in the town of Lake. at the corner
of Sixty-sixth and Lincoln streets. She.
with her brothers and sisters. set fire to
the prairie, about two hundred yards
from their home, one evening, and her
clothes caught in the flames. Her
screams brought her mother to her res
cue, but the fire was not extinguished
until the mother herself was severely
burned on the hands and arms, and
Aggie's clothes were half consumed. 1t
was found that she had been severely
burned from both hips down the back
OF her legs. She was placed in that
lresome position in bed which she has
kept for more than two years. DR.. G..
ii. Lowell was summoned and gave her
careful treatment for more than three
months. The father, poor man, had
consumed much of his spare earnings
and finally procured her admission to
the county hospital. The girl has been
an object Of special solicitude at that
institution from the first, and has never
complained Of the great sufferings
which s. e must have endured. During
the summer she has been kept in an
open tent outdoors. Her appetite has
been good and her disposition cheerful.
Nevertheless, she has wasted away till
little more than skin and bone remain
Another operation similar to that of
yesterday is in preparation. On Friday
last a cancer was removed from pa
tent. An attempt will be made to
transplant the skin of sheep to the
wound made by the incision. The
sheep to be used in that experiment is
roaming about the hospital grounds
with it's sides bound up.

NOBODY is having much more trouble
this fall than Jones. Jones is, or was,
a member of the Boston baseball club.
Jones reached Cleveland, few weeks
ago, he was suspended by the manage
ment, and, supposing that, when
wanted, he would be notified: he went
off by himself, and permitted the club
to 20 valiantly on to defeat unaided.
When they found that Jones had dis
appeared, he was fined 800 and en-
PEELED. Jones will appeal to the league
for that justice which is denied him at
the Hub.

FOR GOVERNOR,
A L Y IN II A w KIN S.
a STRANGE INCIDENT.

No one expects to find much of
the ridiculous in the temple where
Justice sits enthroned and from
whence she issues her DEGREES, but if
the incident which happened in a
Virginia court house be at all a
representative one, the funny pic>
ture men and the newspaper comia
calitics had better move their sanc>
tum somewhere under the shadow
Of the dwelling place of the law.
Recently, in Virginia, as We have
said, a man named Walters was in
dicted for acting as second in an
affair of 'Aonah." He was brought
to trial, the attorneys seated thems
selves, the jurymen had been sworn,
when the counsel for the defendant,
with solemnity which the occa>
sion demanded, began to question
the "twelve good men and true" if
any of them had prejudices against
duelllng on any grounds. This
question was ans Hered in the mega
tive, but by the twelfth, who, it
seemed, had conscientious scruples
against even this genteel form of
murder, in the affirmative. He was
Immediately excused and another
man chosen to fill the place and
then the trial went on.
Now, according to the law of
Virginia, participant in such a
murder, actual or intended, is
guilty of a criminal offence. II
such a pfscedent becomes at all
common, we expect to hear in the
near future some of our criminal
lawyers asking the jurymen, "Have
you any prejudice against the de-
PENDANT stealing old Parson Crack
straw's chickens 2" or 500 you OBJ
ject to the defendant numbering the
deceased in cold blood?" or "Dc
you object to Lie scratching

or burning Harry's barn 2" and 81

WHAT NEXT?

1t is not to be wondered at that
the average democratic politician,
now that resumption has been eff
fectually accomplished, should
claim the credit of the measure to
their party, but we might reasons
ably expect man with the reputa-
ton that Senator Bayard has,
would abstain from such palpable
prevarication. In his speech made
at the New York love feast, how
ever, We discover that even the
great Senator Bayard has fallen in
behind the ward 5ummers and pc.
litical tricksters and makes the
same claim.
That history is dead against
them in this matter does not seem
to hurt them at all, for the claim is
made as long and loud as if it was
in reality gravest truth. In 1869
the first step towards resumption
was made in the senate
and opposed by a united
democracy with Bayard himself at
the head. In 1874 the measure
which led directly to the desired
end was introduced and opposed by
every democrat in the senate, not
excepting even Mr.. Bayard. The
latter was against it both in committee
and before the senate. Even after
Mr.. Hayes was inaugurated and
Secretary Sherman began his &C
emulation of gold with which to
resume specie payments, the plan
was fought at all points by the
democratic party and proposals of
repeal, and every other procras>
tinating measure was suggested. A
Republican congress passed the bill,
and republican president signed
it, another republican president
prevented its repeal, republican
secretary of the treasury carried it
into execution. and yet with the
effrontery and audacity that is
their most striking characteristics,
the democrats are claiming it, when
the ink has hardly dried on the
sheet making the fact public.

THE EUROPEAN QUIT OOK.

AS outlined in our telegraphic
columns for some days past, the war
between Turkey, on the one part,
and united Europe, on the other, has
become inevitable. The latest re.
ply to the note of the powers leaves
no doubt of the determination of
the porte. The sultan has been
crowded into corner, and now will
fight. From all indications, it will
be foly war with the Moslems,
and the rule of the prophet will be
forever destroyed in Europe. 1t
matters not what the remaining
principals of the naval demonstra
tration may conclude to DO, England
has placed herself in a position
where she must carry on the war
even if, she has 70 do it unaide. !
her influence over continental poll
tics will be very materially damaged
if she shows the white feather, auC
rather than such a consummation
she will send her last soldier into tht

THE REPUTATION PLATFORN.

From our regular correspondent
at Charleston, We learn of speech
made by John G. Carter, repudia-
ton candidate for senator in the
9th district, which is worthy Of az
tention. Ia it he stated that he was
opposed to paying any of the inter>
nal Improvement bonds, but was
also in favor Of scaling the Her
mitage and capitol bonds fifty per
cent. This statement was made be-
fore the Wilson club at Calhoun,
and, as it did not meet their disap-
probation, can be taken as the plat
form upon which they stand also.
This, then, is East Tennessee repu-
diation; and, as a specimen of down
right rascality and unmitigated dis
honesty, is far ahead of even the
Savage-Wilson stripe, for they pro-
pose to pay all of the Hermitage
and capitol bonds.
It is the advocate of such a rot
ten, disgraceful scheme as this that
the democrats of the 9Th senatorial
district are expected to sup
port. Will they do it? We should
feel very badly if we thought that
any considerable body of men in
East Tennessee should be guilty Of
supporting such an unequivocal
steal as this. We are glad that the
state-credit men will repudiate him
at the polls. Such are our advices
from that region.
