A SOFT ANsWTR.

A small, ragged urchin was observed
by philantbropic old gentleman on

grinding his knuckles into Lis eyes and
bowling dolefully.
"Wbat is the matter, my boyp"
"Fel!er pasted me in the snoot."

"Bless my soul!' exclaimed the old
gentleman ashast, when suddenly
abandoning his whimper, the urchin cut
caper on the pavement, put his fingers
to his nose, gave utterance to an ecstatic
'sold again!" and darted swiftly down
an alley.

The catacombs of Rome are among the
most interesting features OF that wonder
full city. They are not as is usually sup
posed directly under the city, but are
scattered without the walls on all sides
These vast subteranean charnel houses
were originally quarries but in later years
were used as burial places. The passages
are usually from seven to eight feet in
height and four or five feet wide, the
chambers of the dead being in tiers at
the sides. Many of them are now vacant.
but others still contain their ghastly de.
posits, while here and there grinning
skull or some other fragment is all that
remains of the skeleton. The catacombs
of St. Calixtus on the Appian Way
we're visited by US and are of especial
interest as containing the tombs IT sew
eral OF the early popes, as we'll as about
10000 persons OF more lowly rank.
Throughout the city are many places
pointed out by tradition as connected
with incidents in The lives of Peter and
Paul. The Mamertine prison, built $40
years before Christ, near the Arch of
Septimius Severus, is well identified and
was undoubtedly the scene of many trag
edies related by historians. The pillar
is still shown to which Peter and Paul
were chained and also the spring which
burst forth miraculously to enable Peter
to baptizc his jailors. The spring, how
ever, is unfortunately mentioned by Plu-
tarch as existing more than century
before. The prison consisted of two cells
cut out of the solid rock, one above the
other, with an opening at the top through
which the condemned were let down. In
the "Ghetto," or Jews quarter, is pointed
out the "hired house" occupied by Paul
during the three years of his stay in
Rome. 1t is now occupied by bakery.
But the extent to which this letter has
already grown compels US to pass on

position, ability and unquestioned integ..

account of the shameful outrage.

wretches who followed Sherman's army
more than do, it is because his capacity
for hating is greater than mine. This is
strong language, but I am justified in
using it. When Sherman's army passed
through my place in North Carolina,
some of his camp followers, in their
greedy search for treasure, entered the

AS we wander about the streets of this
city that once ruled the world, and view
the ruins of its ancient magnifcence,
our admiration for the ability and power
of those grand old Romans who once trod
it's streets increases, and our contempt
for the degenerate race which now occu-

Freight Car COuplers.

Connecticut has the honor of being
the first State to enact Jaw requiring
railroad companies to use safety -couplers
on freight cars. Massachusetts Joined
her in this humane movement and the
probability is that the necessary legisla-
tion will be passed in the near future by
several other States. Governor Foster,
of Ohio, in his message to the sixty.sixth
assembly said: upon these railroads
there have been killed during the past
year 372 and injured 954 persons. Of
those injured 65G were employees; of
these employees that were injured 346 or
IS per cent. and the II were killed were
in the act Of coupling cars. There are
$3.50 brakemen in Ohio. From this it
appears that one brakeman in every eight
suffers yearly by personal injury while in
the act of coupling cars, and many
otherssuffer death" This great suffering
by this class of bold and hardy laborers
urges upon the railway management the
great necessity of securing SOME means
for their alleviation.

The Sun and Butler.

Mr.. Danas paper the New York Sun,
is making hard fight for B. F. Butler.
This foul creature has not changed in
character or conduct in the last ten years.
What he is now he was in 1878. AT that
time, June %, 1873, J the Sun drew this
mild picture of the man of New Orleans
and Fort Fisher:
"Hated by some, condemned by many
and distrusted by all, this bad man with
his crooked ways, foul methods, distorted
mind and wicked heart, glories i'll these
moral deformities, haunts them constant
ly before the public eye and tra6cs in
them as political merchandise. The no.
toriety which decency shrinks from as a
degradation, he seeks at any sacrifice.
he treats the reproach which follows
sucl exhibitions as so much capital ad-
ded to the stock of i'll fame that had
already made his name odiously conspicu.

gives us higher and nobler views of
things at large.
Tie Grange, it is true, was not intend
ed for intellectual culture, yet there is
much to be learned from it in that sphere
which we could not so readily learn in
any other way except in society simi.
larly constituted. Besides, farmers need
rest and relaxation from their regular
routine of business. And what farmer
is there who would not be more than re-
paid by spending one day in each month
in these our social gatherings?
We are creatures of habit, and habit,
like everything else, is strengthened by
cultivation, and when long persisted in
becomes part Of our character. We
are also beings so constituted that we
cannot be happy, neither can we make
any progress in the scale of moral beings
without the enjoyment of each others
society. The most highly cultivated, re-
fined and accomplished are those who
enjoy this privilege in the greatest degree.
Then if we would be progressive in a
! moral and social point of view, let us
cultivate this social quality Of our nature.
In our Grange we learn each others
views of various things, and can oftimes
lend helping hand or give word Of
comfort or advice to brother. We all
learn, BY attrition, many things we could
learn in no other way.
Would it not add to our improvement
as we'll as entertainment if, at each meet
ing, some member was appointed by the
Worthy Master 10 either write an essay
or read piece of their own selection,
(leavipg the choice optional with the
one appointed) at the next meeting 2
And let each and every member think it
a pleasant task assigned them, aud let no
trivial matter cause them to shrink from
their duty.

Joseph w. n
Benton Record.

Jos. w. Hanna, who is sentenced to
be hung at White Sulphur Springs, is
a brother of Bayliss w. Hanna, one
of the most prominent lawyers and
politicians of Indiana, and we have
no doubt some powerful influences
will be brought to bear to secure q
new hearing in his case. His rela-
tives include ex-congressmen, ex-
state senators and others high in both
political and social life. Jos. was IN
duced to come west on account OF an
unfortunate scrape he got into while
attending Wabash college at Craw'
louisville. Indiana, and has been In
the territory ever since.
His nickname of "Toe-string Joe'
grew out of the following occurrenc q;
John Green, who was operating the
Helena 4 Benton stage line, was
trying, unsucessfnlly, on the road
one day. to manage a bronch,, when
Joe came along. The latter was
something of q horse trainer, and
after seeing John worsted by the
animal he anne up and offered his
services, saying he could lead the
horse wherever he wanted to with q
toe>string-and he did 1t, too. Mr..
Green christened him "Toe-string
Joe' on the spot, and the name has
stuck to him ever since,

hayward and the ungodly into the
paths of peace or into the straight and

to be cast into the pit where there
were wailing and crashing of teeth.
In each case stern justice was satis-
fed if her violators were not.

language toward a fellow being and
in default of payment of five and
