The President. On Tuesday Inst, wlulo the people of tlio several States, except Missouri, shame lo her governor-were bowed In prayer, asking Him to spare onr noble President, the special train .vas.eairy Ing our nations patient Iroin the ma larlal atmosphere of Washington to tlio , more invigorating air of Long llraneli. In tins tlio country looked upon a spectado never before witnessed by tlie American pcopl,-. Hallway trains, (Imped In black, have parsed from tlio East to the. N'C't eanylng the remains of loved and honored tneii, but never before have they looked upon a ear hearing thu shuttered body of the Chief Magistrate, still instinct wllh life, away from Wn.shington in a desperate senrch ' I for renewed vlta'lty. The President and party left Wash ington at (3:30 A M and mi lived at Long llraneli at 1 : 10 t. v. The situation regarding the Presi dent's condition continues favorable and tlie attending surgeons mid cabinet ollleers express thumxclves as entirely satisfied with the outlook. Another Massacre. Since tlio massaero of tlio gallant Custer and his command, there lias been no occurence In tlio Indian coun try that lias had such a tendency to r-tlr up unconquerable bitterness against the Indians, as tlio one which occurred near Fort Apaeke, Arizona, on tlio '.'9th till. Cnpt. Uentlg and his entire com maud, cousUtinz of one hundred men and soveu ollleers were all massacred by White Mountain Indians, thirty-live tulles from pachc. Tlio White Mountain Indian lteser vatlon is located about KM) miles north of Wilcox, near tlio lino of New Mex ico. Thu tribes misters about -100 braves, and is thu only tribe of Apaches which liavo not been whipped into sub jeetiou. If it be true that, in addition to butchering llciitig's 'command, they captured thu Jort and put the women and children to death, the demand for terrible retaliation will be universal. We do not remember a ease hitherto where a band of so-called friendly In dians or seouts have proved treacher ous and turned their guns against their white allies, but that 'this was douu in the ease ot General Ilentig an 1 ids com inand there is too much reason for ho- 1 levlng.

A short time ago we called upon a certain party in business in Oregon, and asked him why ho did not udvurllso in Tiik Countv Pavkk. "Oh because," lie answered, "what's tho use? Nobody will ever suojit." "You're mistaken wo said, "every page in our papor is read." "Konsenso," ho replied; "even If they did read my advertisement, people would never think of it again. I don't want to advertise." "lint" "No buts at all. I don't want to ad vertise, so don't bother mo any more;" and ho walked back into Ids btoru and .strangled a poor littlo ily that was help ing itself from a barrel of sugar. Time passed, and wo never again in lininted "adveitisctnent" though meet ing lilm dally. This wuek the gentle man called at our sanctum, looking a little uncertain as to how lie would be received. Wo chonshed no hard feel ings and motioned him to a chair. "I suppose you heard of that littlo affair of mino below?" "Oh yes" said wo, "that littlo esca pade in St. Joseph last week ?" Yes, wo got all tho particulars" "Hush! not so loud, pioaso," said ho, "of course you are going to say noth ing about It in your paper." "And why not? It's a matter of In terest to yourfriunds and tho people generally." "Hoavcn8l why, it would ruin mo!" "Oh, no, guess not; nobody will evor seo It."

"Woll, we'll admit that tho people wllUcoitj but then, you know thoy win never think of it again." His words canio back to him llko a flash, and he t oniblod so violently that his oyo balls fairly jingled, and he was such an object of commiseration that wo promised to keep mum. This littlo moral is drawn from tlio above, which isnpplleablo the world over: Ask a man to ndvertiso and ho will immedi ately say, in tlio majority of cases, that "Jsobody will ever seo it;" but advor tiso gratis somo littlo indiscretion ho may commit, and hoiiumodtatoly grows lviilignnnt over the certainty that tho whole world will know it.

I live ptct ty woll out of their rcaoli but hnvo often felt tho vilo touch ot a wagging tongue. I do not know who you moan, but allow mo to say that If you can euro your town (or any town) of gossips you will hnvo dono a public good. Gossips nro like empty barrols ; a full barrel makes no noise ns it rolls along, but put a pint of water in u burro and it makes a "bar! old racket." Give somo old and igno rant man or woman a thlmblcfnll of brnlns and a common scold Is nowhere. I boilevo tho ancient English woio cor rect with ducking stools. GosMps brood dlfllutlty. People who have business aro not troublesome Intollcct destroys tho foolish nnd disgusting habit of gos siping. Your nrtiolo is a tlmoly ono. I hopo it will thin out tho gonoration of "rattlo-tongucs" worse than rnttlo snnkos. Let mo commend to gossips tho following: Trust thyself; mind thine own affairs. Evory heart vibrntes to that iron string. Ho who is busy growls loast nt othors and gossips lonst of their affairs." It Is from a philoso pher.
