Where spades grow bright,
And idle swords grow dull;
Where jails are empty,
Aud where barns are full;
Where field paths are
With frequent feet outworn,
Law court yard, wccdy,
Silent and iorlorn;
Where doctors foot it,
And where lncrs ride;
Where age abou~ds,
And youth is multiplied;
Where poisonous drinks
Are chased from every place;
Where opium's curse
No longer leaves trace
Where these signs arc
They clearly indicate
A happy people
And u well-rulcd state.

Besides those manufactured in our country
there were imported last year 100000 worth
of dolls and 100000 worth of other toys
Upon these there was paid into the treasury

IN the January Postal Guide appears an ad-

THE good example Of Postmaster Pearson in
selecting the fastest steamships to carry the mail
TO England has finally had its legitimate effect
Nel0 York Tribune
"The good example of Postmaster Pearson "
is all the more commendable because of the
fact that the statute has charged upon the
postmaster general the duty of selecting
steamers for carrying the foreign mails, Its
not improbable, but for the above notice in
the Tribune, the postmaster general would
have been under the impression that he had
made the selection of the steamers. The
Tribune kindly allows Mr., Fawcott the Eng.
gish postmaster general to " select his steam
ships" but insists that that work for this
government shall be done by local post
master.

Deceiving New York Correspondent

Deceiving II New York Correspondent.
A correspondent of tho New York SIN gives
very interesting details of plan for appoint
ing Gen. Joseph L, Johnston, of Virginia, to
be Il commissioner for this district in place of
Mai. Morgan. After stating the names of a
number of promin ent gentlemen who favored
tho generals appointment, the SUMS side IL
luminator thus proceeds:
One difficulty is in the way. The law prescrbes
that the cOmmlsso ner shall have been resident
of the district for two years before his appoint
ment. Now, while Gen. Johnston has been n resi-
dent of Washington for several years, having had
u home here during all the time ho was in con-
gress that does not constitute municipal citizen
ship, He has, however, been citizen of WASH
ington since his last term in congress expired on
the fourth Of March, 1881, and would therefore be
eligible afer the fourth of March next.
If the Sun which shines for all will turn its
powerful rays upon the law at page $40 of
volume of the Supplement to the Revised
Statutes Of the United States, it will there
find the following language:
The two persons appointed from civil life shall
at the time of their appointment be citizens of the
United States Hndstall have been actual residents
of the District OF Columbia for Three years next be-
fore their appointment, and have during that
period claimed residence nOlUhere else
TO be eligible for a seat in Congress man
must be an inhabitant of the state from
which he is accredited. As Gen Johnston's
/ term as member of congress ended on the
4th Of March, 1851, and as he must have
"claimed residence" up to that date in the
state whose commission he held, and as com,

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Ed. Register IL see by the last
REGISTER letter from Washington
City by "Junius" in which he speaks
Of the duel between Preston s. Brooks,
of South Carolina, and Burlipgame, of
Massachusetts, in which be makes
several grave mistakes. / have q very
distinct recollection of the events of
that time. was then just twenty-five
years old, was In school with tpt OF
young men about my own age. We
were all strong anti-slavery in senti-
ment and feeling and those events
made strong and an abiding impress
sion upon my mind. The facts are,
Sumner had made a speech in the Sen
ate In favor of the admission of Kan
sas as free State. OF course this in
volved the whole question of the ex-
tention of slavery. Brooks went into
the Senate chamber after the Senate
had adjourned and the members dis
pened. Sumner was sitting in his seat
writing when Brooks approached him
and without warning rained a shower
of blows upon his head with a guitar
percha cane. Sumner could not get
out of his seat and finally fell upon the
floor, Junius says "Brooks was ex-
pelled.n He was not. A resolution
was introduced for that purpose but it
failed because it takes a two-thiris
vote to expel member aud the solid
south then as nov would not vote to
expell one ofits own members. Bur
lingaae ia q speech in the House, de-
noaaced the act as coward!y and inhu-
man which of cour se offended the chiv-
alrous Brooks. The Law did not allow
dueljng i'm the District of Columbia at
that time. Brooks sent note to Bur-
liHgame asking him where he would
receive q challenge. He promptly re-
piled ''Cliffton House, Niagara Falls,
Canada side" aud at once proceeded
there te wait the coming of Brooks
who failed to appear. Junius says
EBurlingame accepted, and chose shot
guns That is absurd, as there was
no challenge and there could be no
choice of weapons. II was understood
at the time that Burlingame would
choose rifles at a hundred yards, and
it was said he was a dead shot with a
rifle. Brooks defended himself for not
going to Canada by saying that ''he
you'd have to travel through the en-
emyss country and for 500 miles run
the gauntlet of mobs, marshalls, sher-
ifs, jails, penitentiaries, etc." The
facts are, he did not expect Burlingame
to agree to accept a challenge at all and
he would then reap some cheap glory,
but in this he failed. The event made
profound impression upon the country
at the time. A northern man-and
from Observation-Disclosures to
meet a South Carolina fire-eater in
mortal combat was something new.
Burlingame became hero in the
northern States. He took an active
part in the presidential contest then in
progress, and was in demand at all
public gatherings. Junius lie equally
mistaken about the Pryor-Potter duel
in many important facts. If you will
examine the 1st volume of Greedy
American Conflict, think you will
find the whole facts i'm detail. think
such statements shonld be corrected.
Yours truly, JNo. PAxsoN.
