Sumner and a host of other civilians who never bore contribute as much to the success of tbe Union cause aa did tbe armies which they organized, armed and equipped, inspired and encouraged But for the patriotic spirit of American financiers who came to the support of the government, and established and sustained its credit, the sucpetsfol prosecution of the war would have been an impossibility. But we hear of no praises or rewards being offered to the vast army of civilian patriots whose voices, pens and purses did so much for tbe preservation ot the Union. Until within a comparatively recent period it was understood that the American soldier enlisted through patriotism, having one great object in preservation of tbe Union, and feeling that the success of the cause and tbe gratitude of his country were the rewards most acceptable, but it now seems that this beautiful idea about patriotism is becoming more and more materialized and vulgarized into thing of money, and tbe so-called patriots are daily making assaults on the treasury which they once defended.

1 More than 91 per cent, of this sum has been paid by the whites. The picture is the most heroic reflected i upon the pages of history. The only place in which the negroes, as a race, can be used to advantage is in the fields. And yet the whites of the South, of their own notion, have been freely giving out of tbe wreck which the war left of their fortunes to a cause which spoils good laborers, what? Ibat they may educate them to a sustaining sense of the dignity of labor? That their moral condition mav be improved? That having 1 the right to vote by the Constitution, they may learn to do so intelligently? These are I the hopes which the advocates of the negro education have held out. What is more reasonable, then, than as the end of tbe first quarter of a century of this great experiment draws to a close that those who have directed and paid for it should ask themselves what progress has been made? what return have they for the uncounted millions that have been expended? Passion has nothing to do with it.

The question may be considered purely from a money standpoint. For twenty years, we repeat, nearly 000 a year have been expended for tlieeducacation of the negro. Have they a greater sense of the dignity of labor now than they had at the close ot the war? Has the moral condition been improved? Do they vote intelligently? To all these questions the answer is emphatically, No! Negro labor is utterly unreliable, and it is becoming more so every year. Their moral condition has not yet been improved in the 1 smallest degree. They use no discretion whatever in the exercise of the elective franchise, but vote solid against anything and everything the whites favor.

men," said their local organ last week, "must stand by each other regardless of what the cost may be." This ia the key note. It is the rule by which nil their acts are measured. Why then should the whites hesitate to adopt the same standard Does it not seem, then, that the whites of the South have, for nearly a quarter of a cen- 1 tury, spent nearly $2,000,000 a year in worse than useless undertaking. Wait, a great work like this cannot be ac compiished in a day, is the injunction which those who assume to teach the South its duty may be expected to utter when questions such as these are asked. But bow long? Ho far the movement has been retrogressive.

til a humlred years or five hundred years suffice to raise the Alrican i race iu America to the plane occupied by the Caucasian race? Can it be done, with ail the engines of an advanced civilization, in a thou- sand years? Intoxication by Radiation. In a recent number of the Popular Science Monthly there were given some interesting illustrations of the well authenticated condition of intoxication from radiation in cases where the individuals concerned had not touched a drop of intoxicating liquor. One instance was that of a prominent mill tart man. who bad been accustomed to drink with great moderation daring the wr. and had abstained entirely from the use of liquor in any form from that lime on.

bile attending a dinner with old comrades, where mint of them were intoxicated, this gentleman suddenly and without premonition became hilarious, made a silly speech, after which he settled back in bis chair in a drunker slate and finally was taken home quite stupid and in a condition far worse than that of bis com radrs who had been drinking. He had drunk i whaleyer, and had used only water and eoffee. and yet be showed ail the symptoms that characterized the intoxication of the others, only was intoxication from favoring soil having been pre pared long ago. Another interesting rase was that of a man who had been an inebriate ago, but had entirely reformed. After an election to office not long ago he gave a dinner to some friends, among whom was a physician, who the following account of what occurred; On the occasion in question many ot the guests became intoxicated, and the host, who drank nothing but water, tie came hilarious and finally stupid aft the He was pul to bed with every token of extreme in loxication.

The third case was that of a gentleman who had been sober for twelve and an ah Stainer from al! of liquor He weul on a military excursion with a party of who Were hard and although he drank nothing at al! except lemonade, he became much intoxicated the event the subject of much comment and critieiMii, and occasioned great loss to him socially and in other spile of the foci that confirmed statement hat be had touched nothing stronger than the lemonade. These interesting of intoxication by radiation or contagion have attracted a great deal of attention a general way, and bare aroused much discussion medical circles. The opinion of those moat com peteal to determine tbe causes of these singular manifestations is that these men had been prepared, either through heredity or by cer tain previous conditions since lost sight of, for (be reception of such In short, their had been mould ed into a condition of extreme sensitiveness to such influences through a succession of hereditary qualities that may have been transmitted through CONFESSION OP MURDKR. In fee on tteath Best Killing to Yearn Agw.

Wooiisvu.i N. H-June 22. forty years ago a German peddler disappeared from neighborhood, and the condition of boxes aud cart led to tbe belief that he had been murdered, but as the body could not be found that suspicion could not he verified. About ten years afterward the bones of a human being were dug up near the point where the team of the peddler was found by workingmen while ploughing the road Rings found on the engraved with the name of the murdered man screed to make identification complete. Suspicion, which attached to several persona in the first instance, grew doubly wrong as evidence in the shape ol goods known to have been owned by the German were found.

No action was taken, how ever, and the suspected roan, a young, if ell to do farmer, sold out and left the countre. name wax Alexander Greenough. He went to Canada, and after residing for some i near Cowanville. he was driven out of the province hr threats of arreat on a charge of counterfeiting. From Canada he went to Centra! America, and from there to i i Chili.

A few weeks ago he was taken violently ill, and was expected to die. Un what he sup poued to be bia deathbed he confessed the murder of the German, and pointed out where he had buried body. The spot corresponds with the location where the hones were found. The strange part of tbe story is that Greenough did not die. and the written confession, properly authenticated, is now on its way to this country, while Greenough is under the surveillance of the Chiliar officials.

It is understood in the confession that Greenough im plicated another party residing near the scene of the murder, but who now dead. Death of Simon Cameron.

This ancestor was a woman, the i head of a family In New Haven, and about the year 1705 she ordered a lot of nails from Boston. The kegs came in due time, and when they were opened one of them was found to be filled with Spanish dollars. She i wrote to the Boston merchant telling him of i the contents of one of the kegs. He answered that he had bought it for nails and had no further responsibility in the matter. The money was kept among the family treasures 1 untouched and unclaimed until the death of the head of the house, who, in her will, 1.

ordered that tbe dollars be melted and cast into a communion set for the New Haven it Church. This was done.

It is a common mistake for party platform makers to drag into their declarations of principle matters and things on which voters are not called upon to express any opinion, thus avoiding an issue or raising a false one 1 as the case may be. Those who made the 1 platform for Republican Convention have done this as to two subjects, both of which ought to have been ruled out as dangerous. The party is made to declare in favor of the just and liberal policy of the Pension Bureau, which, if it means anything, is an endorsement of the policy of granting doubtful claims against the Government, and also to recommend the passage of a "service pension bill" to give pensions to all soldiers and sailors, whether they need help or not, and whether they suffered injury or not. That is a dangerous declaration as a matter of politics: for while the people are undoubtedly in favor of liberal pensions to the deserving, there is a growing feeling against the abuses of the pension system, which these resolutions endorse. Another mistake was the passage of a resolution plainly intended as a vote-catcher, endorsing President Harrison's "selection for honorable position in the diplomatic service of worthy and representative Irish-Americaii citizens." This can only refer to one appointment, about the wisdom of which there is still dispute.

But admitting it to be entirely proper, why should Ohio Republicans approve the appointment of Irish-Americans, and say nothing about German-Americans, Italian-Americans, or Americans pore and simple? The Convention simply went out of its way to commit a blunder. A New Swindle on the Farmers. Swindlers have struck a new scheme for i beating the unhappy granger who is inclined i to make money more rapidly than by the paths of rectitude. It is the man who wants to get rich fast that lays himself open to the wiles of such scoundrels as this. A well dressed man calls at the farm bouse and wants to buy a good horse.

A horse is shown him. Prices arc made, and, after bantering, a bargain is struck, and the buyer pays $lO down to secure the bargain, and leaves to return in a week for the horse. The next day another well dressed and gentlemanly man calls and takes a fancy to the same horse. The farmer cannot sell it because it is sold, but buyer No. 2 wants the horse badly, as it will just match his other horse, which he has in New York Chicago or some other place.

He offers $lO, sls or $25 above the price for which it was sold to No. 1. The farmer cannot sell the horse, but buyer No. 2 will be back in a few days, and if the farmer has the horse he will be glad to pay the $25 extra for the animal. When No.

1 comes for the horse the farmer wants to keep the animal to sell to No. 2, so he offers No. 1 his money and $lO more hack for his bargain. No. 1 takes the money, is $lO ahead, half of which he gives to No.

2, and the farmer still owns the horse. Eugene Emery, aged 40 years, a farm hand, employed near Oak Orchard, New York, killed Cora Grimes, aged IS years, with a club on Tuesday evening. He had been paying the girl considerable attention, and her parents forbade him going with her. The parents were away from home when the murder was committed. The President on Wednesday appointed William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, to be Minister to Germany.
