U Cta. Par Week (lay announced the sudden death, at Har risburg, Pa., of the Hon. John Covode, of heart disease. The deceased was emphati cally one of nature's noblemen. No ono man (say. the Washington Chrtnide) did more to arouse the people of the North to a knowledge of their long subserviency to the slave oligarchy than John Covode. Early in the contest growing out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise mean- , ores he took a decided stand for the right, and how bravely and successfully be l fought is familiar to all. He was foremost in opposing the Le cimpton swindle, and as chairman of a special committee of the House visited Kansas, and exposed in a lengthy report, I with corroborative testimony, tho infamous transactions of tho Pierce and Buchanan , Administrations and their satellites in re lation to tho free-State people of Kansas- This report was published in book form by order of Congress, and is an important link in the history of the causes which ltd to the great struggle of 1801-5. In 1856 Mr. Covode labored unceasingly for the success of the then Republican candidate for tho Presidency, John C. Fremont, and especially devoted himself to aronsiug the poople in Pennsylvania and New York. As an evidence of his popularity as a speaker on the stump in those days, it may bo saiil, it not unfrequontly occurred that his audiences made him speak for hours at a time; and in one place, Brooklyn, N. V., he spoke for more than four hours to the largest political gathering ever seen in that city before or since. Like tho late Iddeus Steveus, he knew no halfway sures in anytbiug he undertook to ac iplish. But rough and even uncouth c was, perhaps, at times, beneath that ace beat as kind and generous a uature .ver was implanted in the bosom of . Few men will be more missed, be e always true to himself and friends; enemies always knew were to find ir. Covode was born iv Westmoreland lty, Pennsylvania, id 1808, received a mon school education, and was engaged all his life in agriculture and manufactur ing pursuits, lie was first elected to the thirty-fifth Congress from the twenty-first district, and, .excepting the thirty-eighth Eiirty-ninth Congresses, served con sly until the day of his death. At te election he was a candidate le forty-second Congress, but his cut was declared elected. The. seat, er, was, wo believe, to bo contested. The Mobbed Cadeta. j jrrespondent of the New York Suh, g from Poughkeepsie, relates the fol lowing in regard to the three Piebes who were mobbed and driven away from West Point by the graduating class: A abort time ago three piebes (jot on a spree, and after dark repaired to their quarters. The sentinel on post inquired at their window whether all was right, and was answered in the affirmative. Soon afterward tbe inquiry was repeated, and a similar answer was given, though at tbe time one of the tbree was ab sent. He returned just in time to answer to tbe third challenge, and for those false responses all were reported. Then, accord ing to the statement of one of them, named Barnes, tbe first class almost en mant dragged the piebes from tbeir quarters, and unceremoniously conveyed them to Fort Pat in tbe dead of night, when tbey bade them leave tbe post, and never return, assuring them that if tbey did tbey would receive a coat of tar and feathers, ['.resident Orant's son supplied one of the victims with a coat and soaoe spending money; and then the mobbed piebes struck into tbe woods and disappeared in the darkness. Tbeir absence next morning was a mystery, and so secret was the whole affair kept that over twenty-four hours elapsed before the first inkling was had, and even then no one could tell what bad become of tbe poor piebes. They came to light, however, in Ibis city yesterday, having arrived here the night before, penniless and hungry, when they were given shelter at tbe house of an old schoolmate, to whom they related tbe above story. They expressed themselves extremely sorry for the intoxication which occasioned the trouble, and then sat down and wrote a statement of the transaction to tbe commandant at West Point, asking to be allowed to return to the post, not as deserters, but to resign or be dismissed. Boon afterward an officer arrived from the Point, and last sight he conveyed the absen tees back. a cadet's ext.anatiox. A cadet is supposed to answer "on bis honor as a cadet and gentleman" when asked by the sentinel if "altis right" in his quar ters at inspection. By "all right" is meant that nobody Is visiting without permission, and that tbe inmates of tbe room are there and at their studies. These three fellows, when addressed by the sentinel, answered on tbeir honor (implied) that all was right, thus iv three words telling as many lies; for tbey were not at their studies, were drunk, and there was visiting in the room. I'll wager a sixpence that there will not be one officer of the court martial who did not some time during his cadet life help to "clear" tome black sheep discovered iv bis own or tome other class. It has been the custom since the days wben old John Conlin, Dennis Mahon, and all those old boys were in tbe corps. However reprehensible it may be to tell '' black lies," or even " white lies," yet we .now that both ladies and gentlemen are n the habit of indulging in the latter, and 80H*e even in the former, without loss of character or standing. We think it is " drawing it rather fine," and that the members of the graduating class are a little too squeamish. They are growing entirely 100 pure for soldiers; who, it is well mown, in their profession, have to do a ;ood deal of just such " strategical lying." The Piebes were only misleading their common enemy, the officer of the day ; and thug perfecting themselves iv that part of a warliko education. If all who tell ins are to be read out of the society of " Truthful Jameses," who shall escape ? . . .«., .

Education for Pretty Girls.—Pretty girls, unlets they have wise mothers, are more educated by the opposite sex than their own. Put them where you will, there is always some man busying himself in their instruction ; and the burden of masculine teaching is generally about the same, and might be stereotyped as follows: "You don't need to be or do anything. Your business in life is to look pretty, and amuse us. You don't need to study ; you know all by nature that a woman need to know. The only sense you need is lovely nonsense.

Now let us have inquiry and reform in the matter of retired officers. There are numerous officers of the regular army who have been retired on their volunteer or brevet rank, and who are drawing from $500 to $2,000 more pay than they would earn if they were doing service on the active list. This is doubtless pleasant euough for the retired officers, who for aught we know earned rank and pay too; but the govern I it cannot afford to be generous befor ig just, and it is not precisely just t better for performing nothiug than doing something.

This is true Christian charity, that recog nizes universal brotherhood aud sister hood—charity that one loves to acknow ledge and make more widely known for the credit of human nature. Miss Catherine E. Beecher is certainly mild enough in her language regarding woman suffrage.
