THE PAY OF OLIVER CROMWELL.
When Oliver Cromwell was asked, in
1649, to accept the post of Commander
in Chief and Lieutenant General of Ire
land, he replied that he would go if he
were sufficiently provided" The fol-
lowing facts from the calendar of state
papers will show the pecuniary value Of
the demand, which was granted: He
required in addition to the ordinary sal
ary of Lieutenant General of Ireland
SIS. 900 for an outfit, $50 day so long
as he remained in England, and $4O,-
900 year upon his landing in Ireland, +"
Unfortunately the patent does not state
what salary he actually received as Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, but only
mentions that he should have the
usual fees, stipends and allowances, but.
Judging from other details, it must have
been at least $25, 900, and, if SO, his
total income was $50, 900 a year, which,
in consideration of the relative value Of
money then, would have given him
command of an income worth $780,
600.

Is il Lack Of Enterprise !

The Morris Brass Band are very
much dissatisfied with the treatment
they are receiving from the people of
the Village. They have purchased
new instruments, have hired an in
structor and in other ways expended
money and have given much of their
time to make themselves proficient.
By hard work they have gained the
reputation of being the best band in
the northwest and reflect great credit
upon the place. In return for all this
the town gives them nothing. In no
way does it show its appreciation.
No wonder the members of the band
are Disguised. No wonder that they
have concluded to discharge their in
structor and disband after the Fourth
of July is over and their engagement
for that day met Of course the band
can not afford to maintain an organi-
zation and continue to spend their
time and money unless the town will
give them chance to earn at least
enough to pay their instructor.
While we do not blame the band for
resolving to disband, we believe there
is more of appreciation on the part of
people of the town for their labor than
has been shown. If some energetic
person will "do" the town with a
subscription paper we believe business
men and others will subscribe literally
enough to pay for series of Saturday
evening concerts and thus enable the
band to pay expenses, If the people
of Morris will raise purse for the
band the organization will be contin-
ued and the entire town be benefited
by their music. If however they do
not show their appreciation in some
pecuniary way the Morris Silver Cor
net Band will soon be thing of the
past. Good people what are you 60
ing to do?
Has not Morris enough of enterprise
to support brass band?

anything else, but he has brought his
chair and dental instruments, and will
do any needed work in Morris during
his stay here. DR.. Hulburd and 9TH

recommend him as being an unusually
skillful dentist, and those who are in
need of dental work will do well to
avail themselves of this opportunity.
1t may be to the advantage of all
concerned to learn that the Chinese
Laundry, originally located on Allan
tic avenue, has been removed to the
office of E. bowers. A handsomely
painted sign on which appears the
mystic characters "Luoug Lung, Chi
nese Laundry,n appeared Yesterday
morning ON the aforesaid office. The
appearance of this sign would indicate
thata co-partnership had been formed.
We will endeavor to learn more about
this laundry sign at the wood and coal
office and give further particulars in
our next.
LATER.-We understand that Mr..

way business has opened has taken

At the Congregational church last
evening large audience lis
tened to an interesting sermon by
Rev. J. P. Hutchinson. "Go For
ward" was the leading thought in the
discourse. The sermon was closed
with the following lines written for
the occasion:
GO FORWARD.
Go forward with a lighter heart
For all the sorrows you have known;
And look, amid life's varied part,
To God alone.
Go forward with a trusting mind,
In paths you do not understand
If, in the wilderness, you find
He helps your hand.
Go forward on the unknown sea
In truer faith, in deeper love,
Knowing that naught unknown can be
To Him above.
Go forward then,-God's love within
Giving you peace, making you blest;
Go forward-feeling naught but sin
~----~ And leave the rest.

THE CLOUD OYER DANIEL WEB
STER'S FAME.

THE CLOUD OYER DANIEL WEB
STERS FAME.
On the 7th of March, 1850, Webster
delivered in the Senate of the United
States speech (on the relations Of
slavery to the Union) the effect of which
upon his own chances of fame has been,
up to the present moment, in the high
est degree unfavorable. That speech
turned against the orator nearly the
whole force of the particular literary
mode then rapidly gaining the ascendant
in this country. The time since then has
been an era of sentimentalism in liter
ature, as 1t has been an era of sentiment
alism in politics and religion. Webster
has been judged according to the fashion
of such an era. There will succeed q
different era, having different canons of
Judgment, and Webster will be judged
differently. The pendulum already COM
mences its return toward the opposite

is anticipation, and we now deal with
retrospect. The tide of political opin-
ion, held for time from ebbing by the
almost sole contrary attraction of Web
ster's own example and influence while
he yet lived, receded with precipitate
rapidity after his death, and left the
great bulk of his name, it well might
seem, a wreck on the strand. The re-
action against Webster in popular re-
gard resulting from this celebrated
speech found powerful and beautiful
expression in one Of Mr.. Whittier's
finest poems, piece significantly en-
titled "Ichabod r. Since then, in q
published poem on Webster, Mr.. Whit
tier.has evinced some disposition to un-
write his earlier branding lyric Of dis
praise. w. G. Wilkinson, in the
Century.
