JOHN BROwN-HERO.

Recently some one spoke of Mover and Haywood as the John Browns of this generation" and we are not sur prised to find that the term is dis tasteful to some of our Northern Re publican brethren in whom the flavor of abolitionism still remains. The New Bedford Standard. for example, takes the trouble to point out what it con- siders the differences between the oharacters and adds:
 We take it that what makes John Brown hero and a martyr in the eyes of so many people Is not because atic. but because he had the courage to face everything that might result from his act. He broke the law. he knew he broke the law, and he was It was not the attack on the arse- nal at Harper's Ferry but the death nn the scaffold at Charleston that has embalmed John Brown in the moral consciousness of the American people as one of the great factors in com passing the abolition of human slav- cry.
 great hero and martyr of John Brown of Osawatomie" must fail, except in the estimation of those who hold that anything was right and noble if direct ed against slavery and slave holders That Brown was brave is not disputed but the same may be said of all the Dick Turpins, John A. Murrels, and other ruthless and murderous viola tors of the law who have lived by rapine and slaughter and been put to death for their crimes. If he was not a hopeless imbecile Brown knew that if his ideas were carried out they would not only cause a loss of billions of dollars to the Southern people, but would plunge the South into such a chaos of murder, arson, rapine and slaughter as has never been witnessed in any civilized country on earth. His object was to organize and bring on a general uprising of the slaves through out the South, and he knew that this could only be followed by the bloodiest scenes of history. He may have been personally brave, but he was a fanatic dominated by one idea and over power ed by bloodlust which needed noth- ing but the accomplishment of the one end he had in view--the abolition of slavery. The facts of history will not allow John Brown to occupy n place in the hero martyr class of men.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

Former Miss Edna May, or possibly We should say ex-AIiss Edna May who Is now Mrs. Oscar Lewisohn. announced that she has quit the stage forever and is going to learn how to manufacture pies-"the sort of pies mother makes" she explains She admits that she has a lot to learn about pots and pans kettles and stoves, and other odds and ends of a we'll arranged kitchen, but she intends to learn. because, she says, fits a fine thing to be a real house. wife
 Right you are, Edna, if your hubby doesn't object to our calling you so. That name is easier and comes more natural to the newspaper writer than Mrs. Lewisohn-but let that pass, We heartily commend her determination to learn cookery. but would it not be more prudent if she would begin her apprenticeship, or make her debut. on an 8asier job than pie building2 It is doubtless true that any cook can nanu- facture an article and call it pie. You remember the artist who drew pie turc. and having some doubt as to whether it would be recognized. wrote under it. This is a horse"

True Story that Makes the Efforts of
 Petitioners Seem Puny.
 Baltimore Sun. .-
 Tn the worlds great grist of news there are tales of the sea and its dan gers almost every day Iuns In one week week stories If shipwreck that riyaled Foes Narrative of A Gordon Pym one ship burned on Lake Michigan, ana Ave of the crew died, fighting to the last. Another ship went down with all hands on board off the lonely coast of Lower Java, Still another became a water-logged derelict in mid-ocean and her crew lived for week upon. one barrel If soaked biscuit and single gallon of fresh water.
 Stories of this sort bob up almost every day. When they tell Of ordinary shipwrecks they receive a few lines at the bottom of a page and the reading public passes them unnoticed. lta is only when something unique or extra type calls attention to 1t. These hon ors were accorded a few months ago to the adventure of Paul Seidler, a Hungarian sailor, who fell overheard from the high bridge of the ocean giant Carpathia while the ship was 200 miles from land, and after swim ming about for eight hours, was picked up by another vessel and safely TO- turned to his sorrowing relatives Thus Scdler told his own story;
 'I fell asleep leaning on the rail on the Starboard side or the snip tt the highest point of the deck woke up all of a sudden, with water all around me. l had fallen forty five feet I am used to the water, but there was something awful in coming to the surface and seeing the cabin lights of a ship disappear in the night.
 T heard a rattle. so I knew that they were lowering a lifeboat The big ship stopped when 1t seemed almost out of sight I might have shouted; but l reasoned that they would find me and I would be wasting breath
 T had on all my clothes including an overcoat They began to bear me down. The current must have carried me for the ship got farther and far ther away and the boat was out Of sight altogether. l knew l must get out of my clothes First, I got on my coats and then I tried to take off my shoes l had to let myself sink each time l unlaced bit of the strings, ard l would struggle to the surface for air. Finally I got off my shoes and l was amost exhausted.
 What did I think of? am an atheist, and I found myself asking If I believed in God. I knew l was near death My friends used to tell me that when was near death I would see God as they saw Him. I argued with my self. but I could not believe.

Letters to The Editor
Objects to Proposed Price. = e-L- AIxrn~&tCnrs

Editor The Advertiser:
 Being interested in the cemetery question, I was glad to see the move ment to convert the east road of the cemetery into about fifty lots, and l think it fine idea.
 But in conversation with one in a position to know, I was told that one of the Aldermen intended at the next meeting of the Council to introduce an ordinance to put the price Of these lots at $50 each. That, I think. would be an outrage on the citizens of Mont gomery. and I can't believe we have an Alderman who would favor such an ordinance.
 The city has failed to provide burial ground for her. dead. and many have been put to serious inconvenience and expense by having to take their dead to other places; others have had tS pay for burial ground. For the city to take ,advantagee of the situation ,sa.h o1sher sonable price on these lots would be a reflection on her fair name. The grounds has cost no more, and, in my opinion, the lots should be sold at the same price as formerly. Citizen.
