Our Fireside JONATHAN NILES AND HIS FIFE- In bis youth. Jonathan Is lies was a m isician of tbe Revolutionary army. In 1778. while the American array was encamped at Tappan, on the Hu IsDn. 1 Gen. LaFayette bad command ot tbe advance, his particular duly being to I "--, f ""' J a order guard the water-front, and in h. .iufflnt th- nart of the J enemy at snrpiisc, migub uc gu imyr atbe thy cenrnrs, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1880; against, LaPayelle itsoed orders that there should be no noise of any kind, by the troops, between the houra of tattoo .and reveille, j Onr Jonathan was one of LaFayett's musicians, and his instrument the life He was a son of Connecticut, and he had a maimed and disabled brother L '" 1 who was a cunning artificer, and who among other quaint things, had made the fife upon which Jonathan played. It was so constructed that it could te blown to the shrill and ear-piercing notes that belong with the drum, or it could be ro softly and sweetly breathed upon as to give forth notes like the gentle dulcimer.1 I One evening Jonathan wandered down to the water's edge, and seated upon a rock gazed off upon the darkly flowing, 'l slarseramed flood. His 1 iovea ones, ana anon came memories oftl!e od BODSS that had been wont to gladden the fireside. Unconsciously, he drew his flute from his bosom and placed it to his hps, In his mind, at the moment, was a sweet song, adapted from Mozart. which had been his toother's favorite. He knew not what be did. To hint1: all things of the present were shut out, aed he was again at home, sitting at his mother's feet and the chasm was not broken until a rough blow upon the back recalled him to his senses. 'Man ! whajt are jou doing? The General may be awake. If he should bear y on oh!" It was a sentinel; and even this guardian of the night afterwatd con fessed that he had listened, entranced. to the ravishing music for a long time before he had thought of his duty to slop it. On the following morning an ordyly came to the spot where Jonathan had been eating his breakfast and inforrned him that the General, wanted to see him at headquarters. Poor Jonathan tamed, pale and trembled. He knew that LaFayette was -very strict, and that in those per ilous limes even slight infractions of .... - military orders wore punished severe- y. ; As he rose to nis teet tue seuunei a m ... a ot the previous evening came up and whispered in his ear : "If it should be about the music. Jonathan, don't yo". be alarmed, Not a soul save you and me knows anything about it. I can swear to that! j So, do you just say it wasn't you.

He then we ,t to the General's quar- tgr8a tent pitched on a commanding I site, overlooking the whole line he had to guard. LaFryette was pacing to and fro, sad and moody, as though his thoughts were unhappy. "Comrade, who are you?" Jonathan Niles, General." "Last evening I heard music down bv tbe river's bank. - Were you the musician?" i "It was I, General, but I knew not what I did. I meant not to disobey your order.

THE DEAD GOVERNOR. 'Blue Jeans Williams of Indiana. Ttin Tinnv lass Williams was born Fickaway country, Ohio, January ID 16. 1808. His parents were of Scolcb Irish blood on one side aud Welsh- English on the other, a combination which accounted for the marked pbysj- leal strength, and mental qualities of the man. His ancestors come to this Unnt abont the middle Ot the eizh- . TBlncmriEc teenth eentury. and engaged in egri culture. George Williams, the father of the late governor, settled in Ohio in an early day in the history of that state and thence he removed to Indiana locating in Knox county, "where the borne of the governor has always been. Young Williams enjoyed but meager facilities for education and aocia' training, so that he grew up to be the plain, blunt, honest, hard-healed, hard-fisted. farmer, and as soch main tained himself in whatever position he has occupied, 'the father of Governor, Williams died in 1828, leavins a fami ly of six children.; James being the oldest, npon him devolved the larger share of the care for the family, which burden he bore until 1831, when he was married to Miss Nancy Iloffman, the daughter of a neighboring farmer. Purchasing a quater section of wild land the young couple began life which continued uninterrupted until a few months since when Mrs. TTilliams died, after a protracted illness. In the course of his long life as a farmer Governor Williams had succeeded ia potting, under cultivation a farm of over 2,000 acres, which is now one the best pieces of farm property in south ern Indiana. The public career of Governor Wil- Mams has been a long' l one, and with the exception of his term in Congress has been exclusively identified with State affairs. In 1839 he was elected to the office of Justice of the Peace by his neighbors. In 1843 he was first eiected to the state legislature, and he has served seven years in tbo House, and twelve years as a member of the Senate. In 185J5 he waseleCted a member of the State board of Agricul ture, being a memter la member for sixteen years, and for , four years as president, which position he filled with great acceptability. In 1874 he was elec.'ed a representative in Congress from the second congressional district to succeed Hon, William E. Niblick, and before his term expired, was nom nated by the democratic prrty as a candidate for governor as a compro mise between Franklin Landers and FT. S. Ilolman. between whom the convention was nearly evenly divided. The contest between Mr. Wjlliams and General Harrison resulted in the elec tion of Governor Williams by a plurali ty of over 5,000 votes, and in January 1877, be was inaugurated in the Crand Opera house. Governor Williams was also the caucus nominee for his party to succeed Senator Morton in the extra session of the legislature in December 1832. i : Governor Williams was a man of marked appearance. He was six feet! four inches in height, and weighed 174 pounds. His ungainly figure was well known everywhere and will be regretfully missed from "private life and from the counsels of the State, by men of all parties, who re3pectd the rugged honesty and simple virtue of the man He was one of the pioneers of the State, who broke the ground and leucu uie woous; lor mo auvsnce ui a civilization that did not forget to honor mm ana wnicn ue repaia dv iauniui and unselfish service. . . - It may be added that the last nublic appearance of Governor Williams was - ust three weeks azo last evening, when be made, an address at the dedi o o - cation of the new dininz hall of the new dining ball of the house of refuge at Plainfield, and that his last official act was signing the respite granted Joseph W. Wade, who was under sen tence to be hung next Friday, fcr the murder of Joho G. F. Brown. A BOY'S THANKSGIVING.

We're going to have chicken and mashed talers and p'ckles, and them's good enough for us. I'm going to pass my plate twice whether it fashionable or not. I think a boy with a half a chicken in him feels mora tony than the boy who didn't get anything but the neck. The more I think of it the more I see to be thankful for. I fell into the river twice last suramtr, and didn't stsy there either lime. I fooled with oaa s revolver, and sent a bullet iato sister Mary's ear. I'm awful thankful 'didn't hit her In the head. I found a dag and sold him for a pair of skates. I found ten cents, and forgot to hide it when I went to jbed, and roa never found it out. I guess I'll pujt that in among the thanks. I got run over by a butcher cart, and'wasn't hurt at all.. I'm thankful, and the butcher is mad. A boy in Chicago was blown sky high with gun powder. A boy in Cleveland swallowed pizen. A boy in Syracuse got burn't np, A buy in St Louis got in front of a cannon. You bet I'm thankful ! I kinder wish I was big enough to knock a boy's head off when he turned up bis nose at my two shilling skates, but I'll have to get along somehow, ; and be thankful that I can outrun any boy I can't lick. A FEW FACTS. A Boston paper thus groups together some statistics of the kind which al most everybody might know, if any one took time to think of them : 1 The entire population of the United States could stand in Boston, j ' The entire population of 1,440.000. 000 could stand on the island of Martha's Vineyard. ' The State of Massachusetts would in this way accommodate seventy times the population of the world. The entire population of the world, placed aide jpy aide, and allowing two feet to each person, wou-d encircle the aaith twenty times. , The Stales of Maine, New Hamp shire and Vermont, taken together.! are as large as England. Kansas is as large as England and Scotland. Any one of the States of Georgia, f. " ..i ..u tl Illinois, Iowa and North Carolina, is as large as England. Ireland is about the size of Mains.
