The country at large is pursuing
the paths of peace, forgiveness and
good will, which alone are the
paths of prosperity. Yet a little
more of Scripture iu our philosophy

assumption of superiority any-where,

Several familiar sayings which pass
as proverbs among the people of
all civilized lands, and which are
practically oulailing as rules ol
actiou, which, nevertheless, cannot

••Honesty is the best policy," is one
of these popular proverbial saying*;
yet the really honest man is so
Irom conscientious necessity, and
not from any consciousness ot poli-cy

"1 see that Gen. Ji-boston thinks
I that air Davis was responsible for
ibe Tennessee campaign. That is a
most unjust scennation. I have
given you the facts in considerable '
detail to show exactly what part
President Davis took in that whole

Johnston in iliar he is suspicious

never had any ill will rowan!
Johnston anil removed him with
great regret. He regarded John
ston as a good general and one ol
the best fighters in the army il he
would only right. He often said
that if Johnston woul 1 m ike bi'tle
there would be uo fault iritS his
t plaus or their execution. Johnston
is very unjust lo Davis."
"For what reason?"
"Thar. 1 cannot tell, unless it was
the dispute about the difterence in
rank between himself and Gen. Lee, (
which took place e.rly in the war. !
The bitterest light I ever saw in au
executive session of the Ooafeiler- ;
are Senate was introduced by Gen.
Johnston's friends over ibis ques-tion
of rank betweeu biniselt and j
Gen. Lee. Gen. Lee had no part or I
lot iu the controversy. He was the
most unselfish man I ever kuew. He
would have come to Kicbmoud aud
hecu a oigbt policemiu if the good
of the Confederacy had required it.
Technically, I suppose Oeu Jihn
ston would have ranked Lee and
been en'itled to the command of
the army, under the law to encour
age resignations from the United
States army, but the m.jonty ol
the Senate thought Lse should
rank Johustou uotwithsta;nling
that, aud it was «o decided after
ibis terribly bitter U,'ut iuaugnrat-
I by Mr. Jobustou's friends to deter-i
mine rhe question."

'•The common school is iu the
highest sense democratic. It con-stantly
brings tin-children of every
class, in every community, to a
common level. It starts every one

different capacities they
will grow to different heights. The
quince boab will never grow m the
height of ihe Lombardy poplar.
Lei the children grow as high as
they like, only root ihem all iu the

inspiration. If we can pass two
generations through the common
schools, farewell to fear, all is
bright with hope for the future.

There is a counterfeit silver dol-lar
in circulation, which is pro-nounced
the best counterfeit coin
ever seen. It is beautilully made,
and has a slight iron appearance
which is oflen fouud in the genuine
standard dollar. It is silver plated,
and acid does uot affect it unless
the surface is scratched up. The
weight is Ihe marvelous point in
the decepriou. The counterfeit as
it srauda would pass iu size easily,
and Hs weight would uot be delect
edon any but a small scale. It
weighs !I8 per ceut, of the genuine,
while the average good counte-leir
does not weigh more than 75 or 80
per cent. The date of the coin is
1878, all hough thai may be chang-ed
in ibe (mure by the makers.
