HdmundS is one of the ableSt men OF
this generation in the Senate; he is thor
ougly trained i'll politics and statesman
ship. He has Il mastery comprehension
Of all the great subjects that have been be-
fore us. In the debate he IS Il great
power, not by the use of rhetoric or what
IS termed cloqucncc, for he detcSts all dis
play and pretcncc, but by sheer force Of
brains Like Webster, he has the clear
ness Of statement that amounts to demon
Stration. He is a great lawyer. He untcs
the rare greatness Of kccnness i'll details
with the most comprehensive mastery Of
principles. His mind is lucid and uncOn-
fused, through and through. His moral
souudHess is eaqual to his mental. No
man ever had so much as u thought of
questioning his integrity.
In politics his ''stalwartism" is accept
able to the most stalwart. Nor is there
II disciple Of the generous discomfort"
in criticism who does not respect him. 1t
Is rarely or never given TO man to unite
the respect of all shades and classes.
Every Democrat in Congress will speak
well of him. Yet he is the sharpcst critic
in the Senate, and compells himself to
perform great deal OF vastly important
service III ohjecting to party or mwisc
legislation.
lie is able in every ticld-.laW. leTiSla-
tion, craftsmanship practicle politics.
He is careful in making up his judgments
and firm III maintaining them.
He is utterly without fear or cmbarraSs-
ment in expressing and maintaining opin-
ions He has the great quality of equity
and courage.
He is permeatcd in every drop and fibre
with The spirit of American ideas Of libcr-
~ and political progress.
He is available. Every Republican
newspaper would speak well Of hm---cvery
one, stalwart or libcral--cvcry neutral
paper, every religious paper with Rcpub-
lcan leauings: indeed every Democratic
paper would acknowledge his ability, his
learning, his experience, his honesty, his
fearless adherence to principle. In two
weeks after his nOminrtion every journal
and every orator would be enthusiastic.
The Republicans would only have to say,
There he stands - An inSinuation
against his reputation would cause onlya
laugh everywhere. That is unaSsailablc.
lie would unite every faction of the party,
and sweep in every honest independent
voter.

A Literary Curiosity.

The following rather curious piece
of composition was recently placed
upon the blackboard at teachers
institute, and prize of a Webster's
Dictionary offered to any person who
could read it and pronounce every
word correctly. The book was not
carried of, however. as II was the
lowest number of mistakes Ia pro-
nunciation made:
A sacrilegious son vi Belial, who
suffered from bronchitis, having ex.
hausted his fnances,in order to make
good the deficit, resolved to ally him.

young lady Of the Malay or Cauca-
sian race. He accordingly purchased
a calliope and coral necklace of
chameleon hue, and securing suite
Of rooms at principal hotel, be en-
gagged the head waiter as his coadju-
tor. He then dispatched letter OF
the most unexceptional caligraphy
extant, Inviting the young lady to q
matinee. She reyolted at the idea,
refused to consider herself sacrifeea-
bic to his desires, and sent a polite
note of refusal, on receiving which
he procured a carbine aud a bowie
knife, said that he would not now
forge letters hymeneal with the
Queen, went to an isolated spot, sew
cred his jugular vein, and discharged
the contents of his carbine into bis
abdomen. The debris was removed
by the coroner"
The mistakes in pronunciation
were made on the following words:

Better, a thousand times better, is
it for nation to lose 5000 of its
population per month through fam
inc than through drunkenness. 10
the sufferers in the one, universal
sympathy and commlseration Is ex-
tcnded--to them no door Of mercy
beyond this is closed; and dark and
mysterious as the dispensation may
be, we can trust that God will, in
his own time, and in his own way,
bring good out of evil. Surely it
cannot be that this great country,
with its many gifts, its noble, gen
erous heart, can continue to succumb
to the deadly ravages Of such foe.
1t would be a less ignoble fate to be
crushed by some mighty" conqueror.
The nation, overpowered by strong
arm, may regain strength and rise
again; but if she sinks beneath the
weight of her own vices, she sinks
to rise no more. The time has gone
by for either ignoring or trihing.
The deepest interests OF our nation
arc at stake, and, knowing this,
many are watching tremblingly the
advancing footsteps of the ghastly
foe,--EX,

HOW TO WORK.

Do your work easily. How? By
doing it Systematically, coolly and
deliberately.
you go to work methodically
and free from excitement, it is sur
prising how much you can accom-
plish. Then there is scarcely any
wear and tear Of your strength and
constitution.
While you are at work devote
yourself to it. Concentrate all your
faculties on what you are doing.
DO not attempt to both work and
play at the same time. 1t was a
shrewd observation of Kirk White,
the gifted poet, whose early death
adds a touch of melancholy to all he
wrote, that he found that if he con
ccntrated his whole attention on the
driest book he had to study, it soon
became interesting, and in short
time he would become so absorbed
as to turn over page after page un-
consciously to himself
Intensity of thought is not ex-
hausting if not too long continued;
so that in one sense he that works
hardest accomplishes his task most
easily. He has, also, much more
time for rest and recreation.
Work by yourself free from in
terruption, if you can, with a self.
possessed, calm and ever cheerful
spirit, and though your work be
hard you shall find it easy.--Ex.

The past twenty years have been
eventful ones to the south. War,
with all its horrors and destruction;
emancipation, with its powers OF
Reorganization; Reconstruction" "
with its untold ills and ITS uuneces-

rich soil, a ecnial climate, populace
determined and courageous, have
overcome all impediments. and a
new South, tree from the evil inhu-
ence of slavery, free from the CEN
tralizing and degrading influence of
republicanI>m, free from the yoke
Of the carpel-bagger, looks to a fu'
ture Of material wealth, Of natural
development as bright as that
known to any people. Backward
is much that marks and aids the
highest civilization. 1t is not blind
to its shortcomings, and itpropoSes
