WASHINGTON, March 6.-In the Keller
Boynton investigation to-day John A.
Sloan, of Washington, testified to the
general bad reputation OF J. w. Elder
in this city. He could not believe
him under oath. Representative Jor-
dan, OF the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Ohio, testified to the good reputa-
ton of Gen. Boynton. Edgar NJ. johnson,
lawyer, of Cincinnati, was called, and in
answer to the question as to Boynton's
reputation for integrity and honor, said
with emphasis that it was especially good.
Gen. Rosecrans, Representative Hill and
Senator Hawley also testified to Gen. Boyn-
toms good character. Keifer's main wit
nesses, Elder and Garfield, were shown to
be of no character, and it was also shoWn n
that keifer had paid their board, and had
written letter to Attorney-GeneralB Brew
ster recommending Elder for a government
position, when he knew he was utterly
without character. The evidence through
out was very damaging to Keifer, showing
him to have been guilty of acts beneath
any man of honor. The defense closed
its case, and the committee adjourned to

The Child's Point OF View.

To correct children for trihing Of
lenses cont nually, at home or in
school, has bad effect. 1t is confusing
to the child. and does not tend to de-
ve,op or to cultivate the mo"al sense.
It tends to make distinctions between
right and wrong which do not exist,
and for this very reason weakens real
ones. 1t is surprising to see how early
children begin to look into the hidden
things Of metaphysics. "Is it really
wrong. mamma" little boy said the
other day, ''or only against the law"
The astonished mother questioned the
child, found that some one had told
him stories of the fugitive slaves, and
of the laws of their time, and he had,
with the passion for generalizing which
many children have, applied his knowl-
edge to the circumstances and events
occurring around him. 10 be perfect
ly honest with children, and at the
same time to cultivate a power to pass
by their small transgressions, which
are often committed without premedi-
tation, is sometimes we'll for both moth
er and teacher. 1t is only necessary to
think ourselves back to childhood to
understand how different the child's
point of view is from that of the older
person, and to do this occasionally
would be helpful to most parents
