How History Might Be Taught.


The State encampment Of the G.. A. r. meets
in that city next month. and it would be a very
pious idea to have Dan Ransdell, Nose McLain,
Colonel Penny, Colonel Dudley, and about one
hundred other one-armed and one-legged soldiers
of the State, pass in review before these chill
dren, then adjourn to English's Opera-house call
up the spirits of o. P. Morton, P. A. Hackleman
and Ben Spooner, and let them address the chill
dren. They would all learn some valuable les
sons that would be indelibly impressed upon
their minds before recess.

1t would not be advisable for the Republican
party this year to have a great number of reso-

policy, resembling a crazy quilt, in the way of a

we are in favor of a free ballot, an honest count,
a tariff for the protection of our home industries
is sufficient.

The closer the scrutiny with which the public
inspects the rulings of courts and the verdicts of
juries, the more careful will courts and juries be
in making rulings and rendering verdicts. With

seal of its condemnation upon wrong rulings and
bad verdicts. Let it be known that the people
expect that justice be done, and justice is very
liable to be done.

that deserves the exeeTation of every loyal heart,

WHEELING, December l9.-The an
nouncement from Atlanta that Rev. J.
Y. Armstrong, rector of st. Matthew's
Episcopal Church, of this city, from
1874 to 1873, but now rector of st. Phil
lips's Episcopal Church, Atlanta, had
again been publicly declared to be J 4.
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln,
has created great excitement here, not
few people being found to-day who
declared they always believed there
was some great mystery connected with
the life of the reverend gentleman,
while the assertion that lie is Booth is
pronounced ridiculous by those who are
most familiar with Rev. NJ. Arm
strong's history. Those who have seen
Booth say there is no doubt of re-
marllable resemblance between the
men, Mr.. Armstrong's face, figure, tone
of voice, and above all his peculiar walk
being identical with the personal char
acteristic of the assassin, while a pro-
nounced dramatic style and rather stacy
delivery give substantial ground to the
suspicion that he was once on the
boards in tragic parts. 1t was fire.

thing but ministerial. 1t is thought
strange that although DR.. Armstrong
steadily maintains he is not Booth, he
uniformly refuses to allow an eXamina-
ton of his neck, where Booth had a
