THE MURDER OF LAEETRE

Ii is now generally conceded fact in San
Francisco that the shooting of Lafevre by
Schroeder was an affair in which an innocent
man was made a scSpegoat for the sins OF a
person whose name was not even mentioned
in the trial. The Golden Era and the press
of Oakland have been limiting at a state Of af-
fairs which need more light thrown on them
1t is openly asserted that the President of a
rich corporation was the man who left Mrs.
Schroder's house the night when the
husbands suspicious of his wife's infidelity
were first reused. Mrs. Schroeder has never
testified that she seduced by the dentist.
She was never put on the stand at all. Ii an
innocent man has been murdered to save
guilty person whose money has been able to
control the courts of justice, it is matter
which the public will demand more intorma-
ton upon. The bribing of witnesses and the
purchasing of courts has become altogether
too common thing in California and Nevada,
and some of these offenders against law and
decency should be made public example of.
The New York Herald speculates on the
national results from Gartie!ds death. 1t
asserts confidently 'that If Arthur should be-
come President he will make changes in
the Administration and will make no re-
movals from office ut large, except for cause.
He will attempt no change in the policy or i'll
the personnel of the present Administration.
and although it is equally certain that the
members of the present Cabinet and some
other important officers of the Government
may offer their designations, Arthur will at
once ask them to continue in office, and Ii
will be their highest duty to the country to
do so. There will be no Cabinet changes.
There will be no new policies attempted, but
the country will go on and public business
will go on just as before" Nevertheless, the
people of these United States are a unit in
hoping tina. Gariield's life may be spared.
Speaking Of the advance in COmstOck |
shares, the Stock Exchange says: The |
present boom in the Coinstock, which by the |
way bids fair to be boom of no mean proper |
tons, undoubtedly has it's origin in the fact |
that the big hydraulic pump which is TO

 The Rev. Professor Butler D. D. of Phil. adelphia, whe oficiated at St. Mic haeps Church on Sunday, July 3rd, was for many years Chaplain of Congress, while rector of parish at Washington D.

Few men could furnish more interesting "reminiscences of those days than could Dr. Butler. He visited St. Michael's parish with feelings of unusual interest, since his father the Rev. David Butler D. D., was one of Its earliest rectors, and his portrait hangs in the vestry-room among the long line of clergymen who have ministered in the Church in time past.

Plymouth Sketches, No. 400.

Last week one of our young men, Arthur M. Gordon, (who usually works at springs for the clock company, was engaged in trimming out, with scythe and sickle, the grass in the old cemetery in Thomaston. Commencing on Monday morning, he finished at Friday noon' considerable time being spent in exam. ming the ancient tombstone inscriptions. Thirty six years ago the present season, I was engaged with younger brother (whose re. mains now repose within the Burman Elm. pire) in painting Doctor William Woodruff's premises; and on each day. at noon, we spent all our spare time in copying the various in. scriptions in the old cemetery opposite Lis house. We succeeded in transcribipe all bp, three or four, which could not be wholly de. ciphered. They were copied with pencil, and should have been recopied with ink, and put into more permanent form. But alas, they were not. Subsequently we undertook to &C., complish similar task in theoldburial ground at Plymouth Center, but left it unfinished.

THE BOY LINCOLN.

Liacoin's early youth was spent in
Spencer County. Ind. above Rnckport,
a beautiful little city crownin" the ab
rupt cliffs which frown over the Ohio
River. He was faithful and industrious.
but there was in him a latent Incidence
which made him fond of taking his rod
to fish, or. with his gun upon his shoulder
he would roam in search of game over
the long, low hills bursting with red
clay. There are living at present sever
al old citizens who knew Lincoln we'll at
that time. He was thoughtful. and his
solitary expeditions probably gave him
plenty of opportunity to indulge his
meditative faculties. The description of
his appearance then: His long, Enk legs
under an awkward body: his homely
face upon which the prominent nose
stood like a handle: his long hair dang
ling upon his shoulders. bring up in
stantly the picture of Ichabod Crane in
the twilight stealing over the hills of
Slepey Hollow to pay his court to Fraue-
lein Katrina Won Tassel.
The embryo statesman was full of
spirit and fond Of mad prankS. One old
gentleman in Rockport lives to tell of the
last time lie saw Lincoln. He was visit
inc the Lincoln homestead. and as he was
coming away they found a treSpaSsing
cow hanging about the gate. The cow
had given the Lincolns much annoyance
by entering their garden and committing
depredations. Young Abe was dressed
in a suit of jeans. without any coat as it
was summer time. and on his head he
wore broad -brimmed white straw hat.
part of which was cracked and broken
Finding the COW standing hypocritically
meek at the gate. Young Abe leaped
astride her back. and digging his bare
heels into her sides. the astonished ami
nal broke away down the road in Il lum-
bering galIop. THE last saw of Abe
Lincoln the old gentleman relates fond
", "he was swinging bis hat, shouting
at the top of his voice and galloping
down the road on that Thunderstorm
cow
In the old country church near the
Lincoln place is pulpit which was made
by Abe Lincoln and his father. There
is n bookcase in Evansville Custom
House made by the same carpenters and
taken there for preservation. Near where
the old house stood is dilapidated corn
crib with rail floor; the rails for which
were split by young Lincoln. Last fall
a monument was raised over Nancy Lin
coins grave through the efforts of Gen.
catch, of Rockport. 1t is a plain slab

A COUNTRY CONVERSATION.

1t is related of distinguished professor
that he said to 4 class of young ministers:
Gentlemen, if you are to preach in the
city, wear your best coat; if in the coun-
try, carry your best Sermon. We think
the best sermon is wanted every where
and every time, and we have never seen
a congregation that did not like to see it's
minister in his best coat; but there are
no better congregations for close atten-
ton, for a good hearty relish for the
truth earnestly and sensibly presented,
and for first.cla ability to recognize a
good thing, than country congregation.
The Woodworking farmer is proverbi-
ally spoken of as sleeper in the church.
But give him something to think about,
and he will keep wide awake. There is
not to us a more inspiring sight than tc
stand in the pulpit of some grand old
church. so situated that the congregation
can drive or walk miles to reach it. and
look into the Drowned, strong, serious.
honest, intelligent, and sensible faces of
the men and women who. with half a
dozen bright children, sit at each end of
the long, straight backed pew. The earn
,st look they give you, as if i'll anticipa-
lion of something to nourish the mind
AMI heart. and the disappointment de-
picted on their countenances when the
bread they expected proves to be dough,
and soft at that, will convince any man
that the best he can do will be appre-
ci,ted by his hearers.
\ country congregation differs from a
city congregation in that it is more de-
,out, more reverent in its ways, more
serious in its attention, and more sympa-
thetic in its attitude. A country congre-
CATION takes a position as much as to
say, We expect to worship God and be
blessed in the service 4 city congre-
cation has the air of thinking. Z" We have
complimented the preacher by coming to
hear MIN, and now let him interest us if
he can" y country congregation leaves
the church, if fed, saying one to another,
eve have been blessed to-day in the
faithful presentation of the truth A
city congregation leaves the church, if
the sermon was able, saying, WAS not
that splendid? What smart preacher
The reason for all this is that the coun-
try is practical, seeking the best things
it can find. The city is in a rush, and
cannot stop for any thing but passing
word. We have to say to our brethren
in the country, no better fields to cult
vate, no more appreciative audience, no
warmer hearts, and no larger purses &C
cording to the wants of life, are in the
country.
If you have a good church and are ap-
preciated, do not be writing to your city
friends, who are city pastors, for an empty
pulpit which may have fifty applicants.
Stay where you are, to enjoy the best
home and life that any man can have.

Whispering to him, asked if he was

affirmative. Immediately after this the

from Col. Mostly that we should be re-

that he was a Free Mason. Being anx-

They then proceeded on their way, and
several days elapsed before | heard any
thing of their movements. On meeting
with my friend. he gave me the following
particulars:
They reached Paris on the same night
after leaving and were there met by
Captain Mountjoy, who was returning
with batch of prisoners. Being a friend
of Mountioy, he took the first opportu-
nifty of informing him of the situation of
the lieutenant and also informed him
that lie was Free Mason. and requested
that he would try to save him. Upon
hearing this Mnuntjoy requested an in
terview with the officer, and immediately
afterward he crossed the street to where
no kept his own prisoners. and returned
with two of them. These he presented
to the officer III charge of the prisoners
as two Of Clusters men. whom he wished
to substitute for the lieutenant. After
some hesitation. and with the condition
that Mountioy should assume all respon-
sibility. the exchange was made. The
officer, after returning earnest thanks
for his life, was hastily transferred to a
batch of prisoners under the care of a
sergeant, who was told to make all posi-
BILE haste to Gordonvile, and specially to
get out of 9 Mosby's dominions before
the break of day. The others met their
