President Arthur's brief speech at
Yorktown elected marked approval. The
Democratic New York Sun says OF 1t !:
president Arthur's speech at Yorktown
was neat, diplomatic, and in good taste.
To pay proper tribute to our patriotic
forefathers without exalting their servlc-
es at the expense of those of their French
allies, to fittingly praise the ancestors OF
the French guests without hurting the
feelings of other visitors by invidious
comparisons, and to say gracious thing
for the vanquished nation, all at the same
time, required nice choice of words, in
which the President was not lacking"

Who will be the editor Of the Century
Magazine may be a query to those who
are interested in literary undertakings.
The dead luterateur was SO closely identi-
fled with the publication and his person..
alities SO thoroughly infused into it, that
his place is thought to be one not readily
filled. The Springfield Republican, how
ever, speaking Of it as if by authority,
makes the following statement:
When the new company was consttut-
ed, DR.. Holland sold out his ownership
with an express understanding of the fu-
ture. He knew his life was precarious,
and that his editorship, though he retain
ed it, was more than likely to be nominal.
The succession remains in the hands that
for several years past have given its
character to Scribner's Monthly, and it is
nonsense to suggest editors from outside
however able. The editor of the Century
MdgdSine will undoubtedly be Richard
Watson Gilder,-a man of as fine a taste
and as severe a critical acumen as have
been exercised in such position in this
country.

Our Republican neighbors in Pennsyl-
vania will make grave mistake if they
allow Gen. Baily, the Republican candi-
date for State Treasurer, to be defeated.
Gen. Baily's prospects, even with Mr..
Wolfe IN the field, are good and all that is
needed to ensure his election is vigorous
hard work by his friends. The Demo
Gratis have been seeking to injure the Gen
erals canvass by magnifying the Wolfe
movement, but the present outlook is
that the dissensions in the Democratic
party will need all the time and attention
they can bestow on them.-Bng. Rep

Now is good time to remind people
that the way to opreserve their health is
to light fires in stoves, CRATES and furnac-
es on all cool and damp evenings, just
enough to take the chill off. At the same
time care should be taken not to make
too much heat. Damp walls and clothing
are fruitful sources of human ills and
aches. A little coal or wood is much
cheaper than doctors bills.

A man wrote from New York to his wife
in Chicago to send him the numbers of
some Government bonds and to forward
the bonds to the Treasury Department at
Washington. She cut the numbers out of
both the bonds and coupons and sent
them to her husband, at the same time
sending the bonds to Washington as di-
rected That woman evidently knows a
great deal more about matrimonial bonds
than she does about Government securi-
ties.

Roston Corbett,s rnte.

Private Dalzell gives melancholy ac-
count Of the present condition of Boston
Corbett, the slayer of the assassin Booth
He says: His share of the reward paid for
the capture of Booth some paroled rebels
took violently from Corbett's person the
day he got it. The pistol with which he
shot Booth, and which no money could
have bought, was stolen from him ut the
moment of his arrest, and no trace of 1t has
ever been found. Corbett became the target
for envy and detraction, settling down into
unmeasured contempt among his officers.
He was hunted out of the army as if he
were the assassin and Booth the hero.
He has been prosecuted every day and hour
since. He is to-day the most miserable of
men, with nothing left him but the COM
forts of religion. He is halter by trade,
and yet cannot remain long in one place.
Somehow they will not let him rest. He is
pursued by threatening letters every day,
and insulted whenever he appears in public.
His private life is as clean as any man in
the Union he has u fair education, pleasant
manners and handsome person, yet he ap-
pears to be hated by one-half of the Ameri-
can people and despised by the other half
him--that he shot John Wilkes Booth, the
assassin of Abraham Lincoln, and shot him
dead in an obscure country barn. This was
his supreme offense. He robbed the
naughty officers of play where they would
have all been star actors. He is unmarried,
poor and dcspised. In Greece and Rome,
even in England and France, the avengers
Of their sovereign's death were loaded with
gifts and public h0nors. Not so Corbett
He Is reviled as lunatic and laughed at as
q rash religious fool"
