SYDNEY SMITH said one thing which
is good for youth to have quoted in its
behalf, and as a reply to the maxim
they like not, namely, "spare the rod
ana spoil the child" To hardship, say
some people--to whom it is easiest to
be hard--children should be early in
used, so that in after.life they may be
better able to bear it, though II 1t
should not come at all in after-life their
labor is in vain. Sydney Smith, on the
contrary, says, "ThOse young people
will turn out to be the best men who
have been guarded most effectually in
their childhood from every species Of
useless vexation, and experience in the
greatest degree the blessings OF wise
and rational indulgence.

Indignation Throughout Jersey City


The Insanity Plea Renewed.


The feeling OF the people OF Jersey City over the
reprieve granted to MacheIla is that OF intense in
dgnaton. Governor Parker has not in his whole
Official career performed an act so unpopular
What makes the feeling still more strong against
him is the recollection OF the case OF poor Lusg-
mani. In that instance petitions poured in
from the most influential men in Morris county
on behalf OF an unfortunate wretch who was
goaded to madness by the open perfdy ora woman
who had pledged herse elf to be his companion and
his solace in affiiction He had at least some in
centive to the bloody deed for which his life was
forfeited. Yet Governor Parker was ineXorable,
and Lusignani was hurried speedily ont OF life.
In Mechella's case, on tue contrary, there is
not single feature to warrant the exercise OF
any clemency. He Is perfectly sane as was
shown in the medical testimony on the trial. and
lar from showing any remorse he is reckless and
defiant. All the pranks and devices for which he
has become somewhat notorious are too trans
parent TO deceive any one. How. then, the Cover
nor could yield to the opportunities of a few fana-
tics in violation OF his emphatic declaration
to a HERALD reporter only one week
ago is one Of those engmas that no one
can solve. Last evening the subject was warmly
discussed on the street corners and in the
OF business, and tue Chief Executive came in for
share OF epithets the reverse of complimentary.
His coming to Jersey City at all on the day previous
to that 1yed for the execution is censured in no
measured terms


The condemned man was beside himself with joy
when the announcement was conveyed TO him that
he had new lease OF life. But he soon lapsed into
his wonted mood and he played his accustomed an
tics. He evidently hopes by little additional
deXterity, to win over few more converts to
the theory Of insanity. The rumor that the Gov
ernor will appoint medical commission
IS not ereated as the Commons saTl Wt
the other members of the Court Of Pardons, mas
had sufficient evidence on that point.

The reelection, for the third term,
of Senator Timothy .. Howe, by the
unanimous vote of the members Of his
own party, in the Legislature, and
without even the formality Of caucus
nomination, is an event of an unusual
character in these times of party
strifes, and of individual ambition !;
and is an indication Of the strong hold
our honored Senator has, upon the af-
fection of the people of this State.
And this indication is strengthened by
the fact, that this is the second re-elec-
tion of the same man to this high
Office, in the same complimentary man

day, that we deem brief notice of the
career of this distinguished Senator,

Timothy O. Howe was born in
Maine in February 1916 He receiv-

was admitted to practice at the bar in
that State in 1899. He took high
rank as lawyer from the start, and
gave early promise of future emin-

Latest Developments in the Goodrich


Murder.


NEW YORK, March 26.-The tenor of
the police authorities belief is strength
ened that Goodrich was murdered by a
woman. One of the women who is
supposed to be connected with the case
proves to be 2 respectable girl
whose relations to the deceased were
only those Of an employe. There was
nothing wrong whatever between them.
No clue has been had of the other
woman. She had been with Goodrich
three or four months before the murder,
bat now no one seems able to account
for her, or even give her name.


The gentleman in company with
Goodrich on the night of the murder
has not been heard of since the night
after the murder. 1t is suspected that
this man and the missing woman are
together, and that both have gone to
Europe.


a later telegram says: "The name of
the woman who, in all probability, shot
Charles Goodrich has been discovered,
but is withheld from publication. She
lived in the third house from him, was
his mistress, had given birth to a child,
and was deceived by him. She
was in Brooklyn the night before
the discovery of the murder, and has not
since been seen. A third gladly is now
said to be mixed up in this mysterious
affair, who is known in literary circles
in New York, but whose name is also

twenty-five hundred dollars reward
for the arrest of the murderer of bis

While the Republican party has
achieved its highest aims in demoh shing
slavery and thus maintaining the Union,
while it has virtually allnihilated its OPP
ponents in the election of its President,
it has no cause to fear any antagonistic
party or opposing national policy. The
to denounce our administration for hav-
ing permitted the Credit Mobiller swim
die and passed the ''back salary grab. -
Such charges from a party corrupted
like the so-called Democratic, is prepos-
ferrous, for, not to mention the immense
steals committed by Democrats in New
York and in every other State where
they had the control. There were as
many Democrats and Liberals who took
their back pay as there were Repubi-
cans, while. 20 Republicans and only
Democrats returned the same. Every Re
publican State Convention has denounc-
ed in the strongest terms this 60 back
pay swindle, and in our State the Re-





publicans demand even a constitutional
amendment which shall prohibit forever
the raising of its own salary by the Con-
gress of the United States, while the
Democratic party has ever shielded its
worst criminals, and Democratic Con-
vention in Pennsylvania has but lately
nominated Democratic Representative
for its Chairman who had the "back
pay " steal in his pocket. All this shows
that there is more honesty in the Repub-
hcan party now, than the Democratic
party ever dared to claim, and that the
relief from future dangers of corruption
must be sought III the purifying powers
within the Republican party, whose rep
resentatives viii remain at the helm of
this State and of the United States as
long as it elevates only men of integrity
and ability to its offices and denounces
and Furnishes every corruption within its
control.


The great strength of the Republican
party lays in its intelligence and the
eonscientiousness of the mass of its
members in the grand purposes for
which it has been formed and in the
glorious achievements it has to sustain ;
but this same intelligence makes its
members more or less independent of
party control, such as is still witnessed
in its opposite factious, and through this
same conscientiousness the Republican
party will cease to be supported by its
best members that seek to sus-
tain true liberty and national morality,
who do not want either Office or spoils-
whenever its leaders and representatives
fail to deserve the highest respect and
fullest confidence of the entire people
and such leaders and representatives
ever will bear the entire responsibility
if the grand old Republican party should
ever fail of sustaining its well deserved

Mr.. NJ. B. Bateham, in the Northern
Ohio Journal. referring to the extent of
the damage done to fruit during the
winter and the propriety of subsequent
pruning, says: g Eaof H4&


"We find much greater amount of
injury than we at first supposed, done
to fruit trees and grape vines by the
freezing (or thawing? p last month. 1t
is probable that many peach and cherry
trees are entirely killed, and still more
will have to be cut back very severely.
But we advise the owners to let them
alone for month or two longer, till
the extent of the damage can be more
clearly seen. We have known peach
trees to recover when they seemed al
most hopelessly ruined. All the varie-
ties of grapes in this region are injured
somewhat, the Concord least of any !;
but most of them will, no doubt, re-
cover, with only the loss of part or all
of the seasons crop, according to the
extent of the killing of the buds and
young wood. Where these are good
deal injured, it is best to prune quite
severely, especially old vines and such
as have made large growth, cutting out
a good share Of the old wood, and leav-
ing the best new shoots that come ont
nearest the ground, and shortening
these to a foot or two in length, or even
less il the buds seem mostly dead. Then
after the new shoots have come out in
June any remaining dead wood can he
cut away.

A somewhat remarkable circumstance

the night, took the precaution to place
his gold watch and chain under his pill
low, that it might not be stolen without
his being awakened. To his surprise,
he woke up the following morning to
find that It had unaccountably been
spirited away. He remembered having
heard his servant making fire, and


came to the conclusion that no one else
could have taken It.. He called the SER


want in and made Inquiries about 1t.
The servant denied having seen it. This
did not satisfy the owner, but the SER
want was, nevertheless, allowed to de-
part. His employer now instituted a
thorough search. After looking every
where about the room, he found the
watch forced half way into q rat hole.
lie pulled it out, and to his great con-
sternation found a rat at the end of the

It is said that the Chinese de-
clare that Noah's real name was All
Boo, and that he resided in Pekin.
unfortunately Noah's family Bible
was lost in the flood, and we cannot
ascertain from it exactly what his
real name was. His doorplate also
seems to be missing, and he had q
very careless way of neglec ting to
mark his shirts; so we are baffied in
that direction. We have inquired st
the libraries for q copy Of the Pekin
directorv of that, to see if Noah re.
ally figured In its pages; the only
copy any of them had was out. For
our part we do not believe that his
name was All Boo. or that he resi-
ded in Pekin. These Cinnamon real
ly claim everything that is going,
from gundowder up to newspapers.

Noah business, the first thing We
know they will be out with the as

At the request of some of my friends
In this country, win relate little in


cident connected with the setting


out of our company. A call had been


made for volunteers and company


raised in this county, of which Isaac


Watkins was captain, Joshua Jackson


first lieutenant, Michael Collier second


lieutenant. A few days after organizing


we were in our saddles and left for the


North. At the end of our first days


march we camped on Six-mile creek.


The next day when we had Travelled but


a short distance, small shoat was OBJ


served on the side of the road with sew
eral other hogs. The shoat followed


us to Kentucky river, starting from the


northeastern portion of Henry, county.


After we had crossed the river, the pig


seemed to linger on the bank as if it


wished to cross. 1t was taken into the
boat and rowed across, when it immedi-
ately leaped out, and started off at a


brisk trot after the company. 1t follow
ed us through Cincinnoti, on through
Illinois; then we went into camp. A
short time after, we again took up our
line of march, followed by the pig to
Sandusky, then to Fort Meigs, thence
to the river Rasin from there to Pigeon
town and then to Detroit, where the
army stopped for some time. The ex-
petition was then conducted around
Lake Superior then we marched up the
Thames,the pig still following. Thence
across the swamps to Harris and john
ston's backgrounds it swan one mile

mile at another, during one Of its per-
it was lamed by horse, when
our commander had 1t sent back to De-
troit and kept it till we returned. Capt.
Watkins called for our shoat and it fol-
lowed him to Shelbyville, Ky. When
he passed the gentlem ans house to
whom it belonged he remarked that he
had brought his pig home, the gentle
nan told him to keep 1t, that It was too
much of military hog for him. The
pig slept many a night in the
tent of the writer, and it was never
known to put his nose in dinner-plate.
It was loved by all the army, and they
would never go into camp until sure
hat the pig was safe. Capt. Watkins
Kept the pig until its death. This is my
recollection of the pig story and it is all
rue. -I-..l.
