Breokinridga and Marshall.

A numerous anecdote is related Of the
brilliant but erratic Thomas if. Mar
shall, once member of Congress, and
who as an orator was the foremost Ken
tuekian of his time. Liquor seemed to
5eurdle the milk Of human kindness, and
his best friends were sure to get the
sourest part it. Walking down Penn
sylvania avenue in Washington one day,
half tipsy, hemet his old friend, DR..
Breckinridge, who hadrecently publish
ed an elaborate work on theology.
ssWell, said Tom, falniliarly address
ing the reverend doctor, who, justly or
unjustly, was reported to be of a some-
what captious disposition, 4 have read
your book, '.God QblectivelY Consid-
cred, and / am glad to find you have
no objection to God = As one Of His
vicegerenfs on earth, I can tell 20
Mr.. Marshall, that He has very great
objection to you, retorted DR.. Breck-
inridge, and went On his way. Marshall
used to relate the bluff retort be re-
ceived from his theological friend, with
great relish. DR.. Breckinridge once
assailed the venerable Robert Wicklife
il an extremely bitter speech, winding
up substantially IS follows: And,
hoary-headed slanderer as he Is, may
the Lord forgive him as / sincerely 90
this daY. When Tom read this he
said to the Rev. Joseph . Bullock, who
married Breckenridge niece Joe, If

Cleveland and Folger.

The New York Herald says seeing
clearly through what conflicts with the
wealth, the power, the selfshness, the
greed, the ambition and the knavery of
monopolsts-both chartered and indi-
vidual monopolists-and their political
dependents, the State Of New York is
destined speedily to pass, the Herald
does not delay to choose its side in this
encounter. 1t chooses the side of the
people, and therefore advocates unre-
servedly the election of Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Hill in preference to Mr.. Fol
ger and Mr.. Carpenter. We can con-
ceive of circumstances under which
Folger would be a trustworthy Cover
nor, but we do not recognize those cir
cumstanees in the conditions of his
present candidacy. As the issue is de-
fined in this campaign the election of
the Republican candidate for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor would be a
triumph of wlre-pullers and monopolists
over public rights and liberties.

Gen. Hoods Orphans.

A Houston letter Of Sept. p, of the
Galveston News says:
Major Robert Burns, Of this city, is
in receipt Of the following letter rcla-
tive to the present whereabouts and
condition of the children Of the late Gen.
Hood.
WEsTcnEsrER, p. o., New, York, /
Sept. 20, 1882.
Robert Burns, Esq, Secretary Hoods Texas
Brigade, Houston Texas.
DEAR SIR: | write in behalf Of my
brother-in-law, Mr.. John 4. Morris,
whose health for some months past has
been so uncertain as to interfere very
materially with his correspondence. He
desires me to acknowledge the receipt
Of your letter Of the 2Sth Of April last,
and to give you, az you request, some
information regarding the children Of
the late Gen. Hood. These are all, !
am happy to say, exceedingly well
placed. The eldest, twin girls Of twelve
years Of age, are being educated by
Mr.. Morris himself, in Hanover, Ger
many, whence his own children have re-
turned after a sojourn there Of several
years. John Bell, the eldest boy, ten
years old, has beeh adopted by Mr.. aud
Mrs. Russell, of Mississippi and we
frequently receive the best accounts Of
his health and happiness. Duncan Nor
bert, aged nine years, is now at school
near Saratoga, n. Y, where his ex.
penses are betrayed by Miss Furniss, a
wealthy maiden lady of New York.
with whom he spends his vacations at
her beautiful summer home in LenoX,
Mass. Lillian and Marian, twin girls Of
eight years, are the adopted and be-
loved children Of Mr.. and Mrs. That
cher Adams, ,ofNew York City, and Odile
and Ida, aged six years, also twins, have
been taken by Mr.. and Mrs. MeGee, Of
Woodvfiie, Miss, Ewhere they have q
very lovely and happy home. Oswald,
the next in order, boy of nearly five
years, has been adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Harney, of New York, who last
summer took the child to visit all his
fathers relatives in Kentucky, and who
are devotedly attached to their young
charge. Anna Gertrude, the youngest,
after having been taken by Mrs Jo-
sephs, Of Georgia, died two years since
from teething, aged one year: All
those who have adopted these children
are themselves childless, save only Mr..
and Mrs. Morris, and thus the little
BOYS and girls have the undivided love
and devotion Of their new parents.
They are each and every one fine chill
dren. handsome, intelligent and full Of
character, and there is every reason to
hone that they will do honor to their
blood and make fine men and women.
/ remain, dear sir, very truly yours,
EVA HEENIE HARDIN0.

Gov. CRITTENDoN, of Missouri, has
entered the political campaign in his
State, and made speech in which he
called special attention to the growing
power and encroachments on the rights
of the people by corporations, and par
ticularly to the stupendous wealth and
influence of Jay Gould. He enumer-
ated the reputed interests Of Mr..
Gould in that and other States, and,
after marking out the danger Of build
ing up such great and powerful corpo-
rations, he said:
The time is rapidly approaching when it
is to be determined which is the strongest,
the people or the corporations. As long as
the people are in power, the country is safe;
but not so if the corporations displace the
power of the people. The corporations
seem to think that they are omnipotent;
that they can make and unmake Senators,
Representatives and Judges, and muzzle the
press, "the voice of the people," but it is
not safe for them to venture to far in that
belief The people intend to rise above all
corporations, and assert their power over
them and the people of Missouri viii not be
behind. In this event, l shall do all within
my power to protect the great interests of
these corporations in Missouri, as long as
they are subordinate to the laws and well
fare of the people; but, if any rights be-
longing to the people of this State have
been invaded by these corporate powers, |
will in due time direct the proper attention
to it, and the wrongs shall be remedied un-
der judicial forms. ,

philanthropy which should commend
itself especially to our own people
