are uttered upon this claim displeas-
ing to sensitive southerners' ears,
they have no right to complain. 1t
was they who introduced the bill and
invited, or rather forced, the discus
sion, aud it is they who persist In
forcing it upon congress and the
country. The Hon. Hendrick b.
Wright, \ Democratic congressman
from Pennsylvania, possessed OF
more sense if not more patriotism
than the "brigadier'' section of his
party, offered to draw his check for
the amount of the claim if its friends
would withdraw it from congress
Did they accept the offer? Not at
all. It was not that small sum OF
money they are after. The Hon.
John Goode of Virginia, formerly OF
the jeff. Davis congress, spurned the
offer. 1t was not ''alms' they were
after, but Justice, and he wound
up by throwing out the threat.
If the gentlemen were ready to re-
pudiate an honest debt let them take
the responsibility and look out for
other debts owing by the govern
ment.
As said before the south began con-
fscation and maintains it, and now
under a threat of reputation the
original c~oniscators demand that
the government shall reward desert
ers for their perjury and treason. 1t
is true this claim is a small one. But
it is only the fine point of a wedge.
the heel Of which car only be gagged
by millions of dollars, and the point
once entered in the treasury they hope
ultimately to drive the heel in after
it. This is but one of many instances
of southern unwisdom. The red
Goals of bitterness would di, out if
they would permit it. But they will
not. They agitate and fan. They
push the claims of deserters from the
Union to rebellion. They insist that
the nation shall agree that those who
engaged in rebellion believed they
were right; and finally that the doors
of the treasury shall open before
such belief and stay open until they
reimburse themselves for all their
losses. It is processes and speeches
like these that keep the mind of the
north alive to.the past, and perpet-
uate the alarms which the "briga-
diers" denounce as waving the
bloody shirt" But when it is they,
as in this case, who blow up the Goals
and add fuel to the fame, it is child
ishly absurd to charge it upon the
north.

MOTHERS THE FIRST TEACH
Frs.

During the days of infancy the
mother, by her teachings and infiu-
ence, instils into the heart of the
child the germs of those character
istics which, in time to come, will
distinguish him from all the world
beside; or rather, she incites and
n~urtures those embryo qualities and
feelings which already exist in a
latent or dormant state. In after
wears it is the teachers peculiar
province to invigorate those char
acteristics, and so develop the men
tai, moral and physical powers, as
to fix indelibly the noble impress
ions first made by the dearest and
kindest of earthly friends. 1t is
from mothers alone that children
will slearn as if by instinct In
early childhood they + therefore
the best OF teachers; but as time
rolls on and the child merges into
the boy, the nature of our institu-
tions, in conjunction with domestic
or public duties, compels the par
ent to delegate her powers, duties
and privileges to another. That
other is the teacher-tutor or pre-
ceptor-the locum ten.as of the par
ent in all scholastic or educational
matters.-Ed. Monthly.

An exchange says that air-tight
stoves are am our worst enemies
to health. It is undoubtedly true,
and it is a matter of wonder that so
few school children are injured by
them. The air in some, and in
deed in almost all, school rooms is
sitting. There is a goodly show of
registers inside, and of v%entilators
on the roof, but often they are un
connected and are p actically use
less. The heated and vitiatcd air
ascends but is chilled by contact
with the roof and falls back into the
room unpurifed. 1t is high time to
remedy this state of affairs.

The wheeling and narlIn's Ferry Ferry
HORt,

We have received a long communics-
ton in regard to the manner in which
the ferry boat il run between the Top
Mill landing and the Martins Ferry land
ing. The writer complains in bitter terms
OF several grievances, one OF which Is the
length OF time between trips, the neglect
to make connection with the street cars
on this side, the want OF waiting accom-.
modations, the stopping at six o'clock in
the evening, the double fare in the akiiIa
alter that hour, the poor accommodation
for ladies on the boat, smoking in the
cabin, and the general inadequRcy and in
efficiency Of the ferry management, The
writer thinks that the present way Of do
ing things il not only lar below the proper
standard, but serious drawback to inter.
course between the two sidea OF the river.
He speaks oil the fact that many persons
20 over the bridge and round by Bridge
port who would like 10 travel by the ferry
Il it waB what II should be, and speaks
particularly OF the fact that wagons from
above Martins Ferry come to the city by
way Of Bridgeport.
These are tue leading points OF COM
plant in the article before us. We have
not space Tor all its details, especially as
sons OF the reflections on the manage
ment are very Caustic and severe, AS a
matter Of interest 10 the public We have
made this brief reference TO thG complaints
laid before US. How much ground exists
for the criticisms OF our correspondent we
are not able to FAY, but We presume that
the running oil theisrry could be improved
with advantage to tho owners OF the ferry
right ~ well W to the public, We think
that the time has come in the growth Of
population on both sides Of the river when
ir6t.CIass accommodations in the way OF a
ferry should be provided.

THUMBS.

If anybody will look carefully at
the end of his thumb, be vii. find
that the surface is ridged with little
threadlike ranges of hills, wound
round and round in many spirals.
If he will take a magnifying glass,
and examine them closely, be will
find that there is good deal of indi-
viduality in the way that these are
arranged. No two thumbs in the
world are exactly alike. The minia-
ture mountain ranges are fixed and
decided as the Alps or the Sierras,
and the geography of the thumb as
unmistakable.
Now, the Chinese have made use
of this fact by establishing rogue's
gallery. Where ever criminal is ex-
amined by the law, an impression is
taken of bis thumb. Smeared with
little lamp black partially wiped
and then pressed down on piece Of
white paper, an engraving of the
thumb is made, and kept in the po-
lice records. 1t serves just the same
purpose which is served by our pho
tographing burglar s and pick-pock-
cts. The accused can be identified
with great certainty.
Nothing short Of mutilating or
burning the thumb can obliterste its
features. Sometimes CHASTITY proof
of guilt is furnished: murderer red
handed with his crime may touch his
fingers end upon q white wall, and
so leave in the color of bis guilt a
photograph on the accusing wall.
His signature is left just as unmis.
talsably as if be had signed the bond
of his iniquity; and thus great crimes
have been brought to light, and
deeds of blood made to tell their own
story.
But individuality in the skin in the
tip Of the thumb strongly marked as
it is, yet, admits of strong family
likeness. Brothers and sisters who
will take the impression of their
thumbs, will End resemblances among
! each other, that they viii not find

Entomologists have long claimed
that, following the precede Mt Of sira
liar pests, the cotton worm would
ultimately have parasite, and that
its propagation would in consequence
receive a material check According
to the Albany, Ga, News and Adver-
tiser, such a parasite has now been
found MIR. w. L. Ratchet, of Mont
gomery, Alabama. who has been en-
ployed for number Of years to ex-
anime and report upon the condition
of the cotton crops III the Southern
States, and who has just been on an
extended touc through Texas, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Alabama,
claims to have discovered this season
a new species of fly which is natural
and deadly enemy to the cotton cater
pillar He describes this fly as rssem-
bling the wasp somewhat in appear
ance. and says that they destroy
every caterpillar egg that they can
find. They leave little black speok
upon the eggs, and tue latter are evil
IDENTIFY punctured or stung by them.
These punctures seem to effectually
kill the eggs, and thus the propa-
cation of the caterpillar is greatly
interfered with.
Mr.. Ratchet was in Albany last
week, and visited several cotton
plantations in the country. Among
the places visited was Col. Lotkett
Rails place, where Mr.. Hatchet
found quite a number of the identical
flies above described. As soon as this
discovery was made an investigation
followed, and thousands of caterpillar
eggs were found on the place punctr
ured just as AIr. Ratchet had de-
scribed.
