Mr.  Ba.\tcr  obje-v't.d  to  the  idils  of  .Messrs, 
Bristol  and  I)a:iicls,  and  f^iyorid  the  '•Di.da- 
110  bill,"  0.1  the  ground  that  it  took  tlie 
seLlleinent  ol  tiie  bonds  out  of  the  hands  of 
lac  State  oili-jers,  and  out  of  politics. 

Mr.  Smiiii  moved  as  a  suboiitiite  ths  bIM 
introduced  in  tiie  House  by  Mr.  Furbcr, 
proposing  an  a-n-'u  l-iunl  to  t!ij  c:)nstitu

of  the  same  forever  hel  I  inviolato  for  the

Mr.  Daiiie'.s,  in  reply  to  Mr.  Ba.vter,  said 
tiiiit  to  leave  tiii.T  seiiienienl  wiili  the  State 
ohievrs  was  just  jiivci-sely  where  it  should

never  rctllze  anything  woi-ih  naming,  whiU* 
in  thi  end  thu  people  would  be  comp..Mied

Mr.  i'cttit   moved    to  amend    the    bill  by  '

An  amendment  was  adopted,  offered  by 
Mr.  Smith,  prescribing  that  in  aciecting 
hinds  iVir  cancelling  bonds  from  lime  lo 
time,  one  half  selected  ^hali  be  from  iLo-ic 
of  the  least  value. 

Mr.  Eolsom  thought  the  bill  provided  for 
partial  repudiation.  He  was  therefore  op- 
posed to  it. 

The  committee  recommended  that  the 
bill  be  engrossed  for  a  third  reading,  which

dischur^'C  of  the  bond  debt. 

Mr.  Dunie'.s,  in  reply  to  Mr.  Ba.vter,  said 
that  to  leave  tiiia  settlement  with  the  State 
olhct-r.s  was  just  pivcisely  where  it  siiould 
be  kit.  He  pri-aicted  that  lo  turn  over 
this  inattur  to  iiidivilu;ils  thu  Slate  woald 
never  reallzo  anything  worth  naiiaag,  whilt* 
in  the  end  the  people  would  be  coin p^?i led 
to  pay  by  taxation  uvery  dollar  of  the  boads, 
principal  and  iuterest. 

The  aub.siituie  ollcred  by  Mr.  Smith  was 
lost. 

The  sub.slltute  ofTerud  by  Mr.  Dauielj 
was  also  lust. 

The  coniiaittoe  then  recoJBmended  that 
the  original  hill  [the  Dristul  billj  lay  ou  the 
ti.ble. 

The  Delano  bill  waa  then  take  a  up  by 
th«  coniniitlee. 

Mr.  rcllit  moved  to  amend  the  bill  by 
providing  for  the  p.iymeni  uf  the  claims  of 
Graham  «IL  McDonald,  and  FItz.  Grindcl!  & 
Keepers  iu  the  general  scuhjiueni.  Wit'.:- 
uraw.i. 

A  a  amendment  was  adopted,  ofTered  by 
Mr.  Smith,  prescribing  that  in  aelecting 
landi  lor  caiicflhiig  bonds  from  time  to 
time,  one  half  selected  i»hall  be  from  tho  jo 
of  the  least  value. 

Mr.  Eolsom  thought  the  bill  provided  for 
jiartial  repudiation.     He  was    ihcretore  op-  j 
posed  to  it.  i 

Tho  committee  rccommcuded  that  the  i 
bill  b«  cngros.sevl  for  a  third  reading,  which  [ 
with  the  other  recommendation*  was  adopt-  j

SUMMARY   OF^THE   WEEK. 

General  Ifeira. 

The  President  has  approved  the  bill  for 
the  payment  of  a  bounty  to  the  heirs  of 
soldiers. 

It  ^as  understood  in  Washington  on  the 
27th  that  the  rejected  Senator  Thomas  had 
recommended  to  the  Maryland  Legislature 
to  appoiat  .Montgomery  Blair  as  his  suc- 
cessor. 

On  iHe  afternoon  of  the  2-lth  the  Presi- 
dent sent  to  the  Senate  a  lengthy  commu- 
nication arguing  in  favor  of  his  right  to 
remove  Mr.  Stanton,  and  nominating 
Thomas  Ewing  as  Secretary  of  War  ad  in- 
terim. 

Fractional  currency  printed  for  the 
week,  ending  February  22d,  |54,463; 
Bhipped,  1-180,272 ;  National  Bank  notes 
issued,  fl21,S50;  amount  in  circulation, 
|299,G70,176.  Currency  redesmed  and  de- 
stroyed, 1303,400. 

The  President  gave  a  slate  dinner  on  the 
night  of  the  28ih  ult.  Moat  of  the  J  astices 
of  the  Supreme  Court,  who  were  invited 
two  weeks  ago,  attended.  Chief  Justice, 
Chase  did  not  deem  it  proper,  in  view 
of  the  impeachment  trial,  for  him  to  be 
present. 

A  Democratic  Congressional  Committee 
was  organized  in  Washington  on  the  26th, 
consisting  of  Senators  Doolittle  and  Buck- 
alew,  and  Representatives  Randall,  Hum- 
phrey, L.  S.  Trimble,  Lewis,  Ross  and  W. 
H.  Barnum.  The  committee  was  author- 
ized to  appoint  an  Executive  Committee, 
and  a  resident  committee  in  that  city,  to 
take  charge  of  the  distribution  of  cam- 
paign documents. 

It  was  reported  in  Washinf>ton  on  the 
21st  that  the  Maryland  Legislature  was  in 
a  state  of  considerable  excitement  over 
the  action  of  the  Senate  in  refusing  to  ad- 
mit Philip  R.  Thomas.  The  leading  mem- 
bers of  the  Legislature  met  in  secret  caucus, 
and,  it  was  understood,  resolved  to  re-elect 
Mr.  Thomas,  and  send  him  a  second  time 
to  the  door  of  the  Senate,  to  present  his 
credentials  and  demand  admission. 

The  United  States  Marshall  on  the 
28th  ult.,  called  at  the  War  Department 
and  formally  handed  Mr.  Stanton  the  writ 
notifying  him  of  the  suit  entered  against 
him.  Gcnral  Thomas  was  |at  the  War 
Department  during  the  forenoon,  but  had 
no  interview  with  Mr.  Stanton.  Under 
the  law  relative  to  the  summons  served 
upon  Secretary  Stanton,  he  is  allowed 
twenty  days  to  respond  before  the  next 
term  of  the  District  Court. 

The  committees  on  the  impeachment 
<luestion  appointed  by  the  Speaker  of  the 
House,  on  the  2Tllh,  were :  Committee  of 
two  to  announce  to  the  Senate  the  action 
of  the  House— Messrs.  Stevens,  of  Penn- 
sylvania, and  Binghj»m,  of  Ohio.  Com- 
mittee of  seven  to  prepare  articles  of  im- 
peachment—Jlcssrs.  Boutwell  of  Massa- 
chusetts, Stevens  of  Pennsylvania,  Bing- 
ham of  Ohio,  Wilson  of  Iowa,  Logan  of 
Illinois,  Julian  of  Indiana,  and  Ward  of 
New  York. 

On  the  morning  of  the  22d,  General  Lo- 
renzo Thomas  was  put  under  arrest  on  the 
charge  of  violating  the  Civil  Tenure  law, 
and  was  held  in  )f5,000  bonds  to  appear  be- 
fore the  court  on  the  24:th.  After  his  re- 
lease, he  made  a  formal  demand  fcr  the  pos- 
session of  the  War  OfHce,  but  Mr.  Stan- 
ton refused  to  comply,  ordering  General 
Thomas  to  his  duties  as  Adjutant  General, 
and  refusing  to  recognize  him  in  any  other 
capacity.  A  Washington  dispatch  of  the 
23d  says :  "  The  President  is  in  receipt" of 
letters  and  telegrams  giving  him  assur- 
ance of  approbation  and  support,  and  the 
Republicans  arc  constantly  bemg  encour- 
aged in  a  similar  manner  to  unfalteringly 
execute  the  work  they  have  undertaken." 

The  excitement  in  Congress  on  the  24th 
is  described  as  similar  to  that  of  the  war 
times.  The  galleries  and  lobbies  of  the 
House  were  crowded  with  spectators, 
eagerly  listening  to  the  debate  on  the  im- 
peachment rcsolution,which  was  continued 
during  the  entire  day's  session.  Messrs. 
Ashley  of  Ohio,  Wilson  of  Iowa,  Wash- 
burne  of  Illinois,  Woodbridge  of  Vermont, 
and  Stevens  of  Pennsylvania,  were  the 
principal  speakers  in  support  ol  the  reso- 
lution, and  Messrs.  Boyer  of  Pennsylvania, 
Woodward  of  Pennsylvania,  Wood  of 
New  York,  Pruyn  of  New  York,  Nichol- 
son of  Delaware,  and  Eldridge  of  Wiscon- 
sin, in  opposition. 

It  was  given  out  In  Washington  on  the 
27th,  that  there  would  be  six  articles  of 
impeachment,  as  follows:  First,  declar- 
ing that  the  President  had  violated  the 
Consiitution  in  making  a  removal  while 
the  Senate  is  in  session ;  second,  that  he 
made  this  removal  contrary  to  the  Tenure- 
of-Offlcc  act ;  third,  that  he  had  appointed 
General  Thomas  as  Secretary  of  War  while 
there  was  another  legal  Secretary ;  fourth, 
that  he  had  conspired  w  ilh  Lorenzo  Thom- 
as to  obtain  posession  of  the  War  Oflice  by 
military  force  ;  tifth,  that  he  had  conspired 
with  or  endeavored  to  get  oflicers  of  the 
army  to  destroy  the  laws  of  his  country 
and  enter  into  a  conspiracy  to  get  the  legal 
Secretary  of  "N^ar  out  of  oflice.  The  sixth 
articled  had  not  been  completed.  The 
committee  do  not  take  up  any  act  of  the 
President  prior  to  the  removal  of  Stanton. 

The  suit  of  Gen.  Thomas  against  Secre- 
tary Stanton  for  arrest  and  false  imprison- 
ment, laying  damages  at  $150,000,  was 
duly  docketed  on  the  27th,  in  the  Circuit 
Court  at  Washington.

At  the  municipal  election  in  Cairo,

Stokes  encouraged   enlistments  in 

the  Confederate  army  ;  he  is  pronounced 
loyal  by  a  R.idical  Congress  and  admitted 
to  a  scat  in  that  body  because  he  votes 
with  the  Radicals.  Brown  advised  citi- 
zens not  to  enlist  in  the  Federal  army,  and 
is  pronounced  disloyal  and  refused  his  scat 
in  Congress  by  Radicals  because  he  will 
not  vote  for  their  ultra  measures.  This  is 
Radical  consistency. 

The  members  of  the  South  Carolina 

Convention  have  voted  themselves  |11

they  eat  in  the  market  and  roost  promiscu- 
ously among  their  colored  friends,  their 
daily  expenses  can  scarcely  exceed  50 
cents.  Their  special  tax  bill  to  raise  the 
funds  for  their  own  pay .  will  take  about

The  Democratic  State  Convention 

of  Minnesota  on  the  27th  ult.  nominated 
Presidential  electors :  W.  W.  Phelps,  C.

ther. Delegates  to  the  National  Conven- 
tion were  chosen,  and  resolutions  similar 
to  those  of  Ohio  were  adopted,  with  the 
exception  tliat  no  preference  was  given  for 
candidates. 

Speaking  of  the  new  Senator  from 

Kentucky,  the  .Louisville  Courier  says: 
"  Colonel  Thomas  C.  McCreery,  of  Daviess 
county,  the  Senator  elect,  is  a  life-long 
Democrat.  Though  known  throughout 
the  State  as  a  gentleman  of  commanding 
abilities,  and  particularly  distinguisjied  fcr 
his  oratorical  powers,  he  has  never  before 
occupied  any  public  oflice.  He  will  soon 
prove  himself  one  of  the  giants  of  the 
Senate." 

It  is  nauseating  t«  notice  the  cant  of 

the  Jacobin  press  in  denouncing  the  Presi- 
dent for  an  alleged  violation  of  the  Consti- 
tution. The  policy  of  thatparty,  says  the 
Chicago  Tiines,  ever  since  Lincoln  issued 
his  emancipation  proclamation,  has  been 
to  educate  the  people  into  contempt  of  the 
organic  law;  and  the  regard  now  pro- 
fessed fir  it  by  the  Jacobins  is  as  disgust- 
ing a  specimen  of  hypocrisy  as  would  be  a 
homily  on  chastity  by  a  bawd. 

In  the    Executive  session    of  the 

Senate,  on  the  28th  ult.,  Mr.  Sumner  of- 
fered a  resolution  that  it  was  not  proper 
for  the  Senate  to  hold  any  intercourse 
with  the  Executive  after  the  notifica- 
tion received  from  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives that  the  President  had  been  im- 
peached. A  spirited  discussion  ensued, 
during  which  it  became  very  apparent 
that  the  resolution  had  but  few  supporters, 
and  on  a  vote  it  was  rejected,  by  a  large 
majority. 

A  New  Orleans  letter,  speaking  of 

the  proceedings  in  the  Louisiana  Conven- 
tion Feb.  10,  says :  "About  this  time  an 
orderly  entered  the  convention  hall, 
marched  through  the  centre  ais!e  to  the 
desk  of  the  secretary,  and  handed  him  a 
document.  This  cavalier-like  action  on 
the  part  of  the  soldier  caused  an  indignant 
colored  member  to  exclaim:  'Mr.  Presi- 
dent, I  move  that  the  next  time  Maj.  Gen. 
Hancock  comes  in  here,  the  sergeant-at- 
arms  put  him  out.'  Judge  Coolcy  re- 
marked, '  That  isn't  Gen.  Hancock.'  This 
incident  created  considerable  laughter." 

When  the  Legislature  of  Ohio,  a 

few  weeks  ego,  rescinded  the  ratiflcation 
of  tho  amendment  of  the  Federal  Consti- 
tution, Reverdy  Johnson  was  reported  as 
havlrg  expressed  an  opinion  in  the  United 
States  Senate  that  the  State  could  not  take 
such  action.  The  report  was  incorrect. 
Charles  O'Conor  addressed  a  letter  to  a 
member  of  the  Senate  in  New  Jersey,  dis- 
cussing this  point,  and  expressing  posi- 
tively the  opinion  that  a  State  may  revise 
its  action  on  au  amendment  of  the  Federal 
Constitution  at  any  time  before  it  shall  be- 
come a  law.  In  this  opinion,  Revcrdj 
Johnson  is  said  to  concur.

alllirming  the  right  of  the  President  to  re- 
move members  of  his  Cabinet ;  declaring 
the  attempt  to  deprive  him  of  the  right  a 
monstrous  perversion  of  tho  powers  con- 
ferred on  the  House  of  Representatives  ; 
deprecating  impeachmentas  the  last  resort 
for  the  protection  of  the  republic  from 
disgrace  or  grievous  wrong ;  exi)res3ing 
c(mQJeuce  in  the  dignity  and  moderation 
of  the  Senate,  and  finally  denouncing  im- 
peachment as  scandalous  and  unconstitu- 
tional, at  the  same  counselling  to  trust 
to  the  ballot-box  for  redress  in  the  event 
of  the  removal  of  the  President.

WAsniNOTON,  Saturday,  Jan.  18, 1SG3. 

I  neglected  this  a.  m.  to  say  that  I  bad  agreed 
to  go  down  to  Annapolis  to  spend  Sunday  with 
Admiral  Porter.  General  Grant  also  has  to  leave 
for  Kichmond  on  Mond.iy  morning  at  •>  a.  m. 

At  a  conversation  with  the  General  after  our  in- 
terview, wherein  I  ollered  to  go  with  him  on 
Monday  morning  to  Mr.  Stanton  and  to  say  that  it 
was  our  joint  opinion  that  he  should  resign,  it 
was  found  impossible  by  reason  of  his  going  to 
Kichmond  and  my  going  to  Annapolis. 

The  General  proposed  this  course:  Ho  will 
call  on  you  to-morrow  and  offer  to  go  to  Mr.  Stan- 
ton to  say,  for  the  good  of  the  service  and  of  the 
country,  hn  ought  to  resign.  This  on  Sunday  or 
Monday,  and  will  again  call  on  yon,  and,  if  you 
think  it  necessary,  I  will  do  the  same— call  on  Mr. 
Stanton  and  tell  him  he  should  resign.  If  he  will 
not,  then  it  will  be  time  enough  to  contrive  ulte- 
rior measures.  In  the  meantime,  it  so  happens 
that  no  necessity  exists  lor  precipitating  matters. 
Yours  truly,

Dispatches  from  Woshington  dated 

Fcbniary  20th  say : 

General  Gary,  member  from  the  second 
district  of  Ohio,  to-day  received  a  letter 
from  one  of  the  most  influential  leaders  of 
tlie  workingraen's  organization  of  Penn- 
sylvania, Republican,  in  which  is  this 
Sentence : 

"Tun  thousand  thanks  for  your  vote 
against  thia  fearful  wrong,  impeachment." 

A  telegram  to  the  President  from  Cairo, 
to-night,  announces : 

"  At  the  charter  election,  yesterday,  the 
Democratic  gain  was  100.  Slick  to  the 
War  Department." 

This  was  signed  by  the  Democratic  Cen- 
tral Comiiiittee. 

Another,  from  Holyoke,  Mass.,  says  : 

*'  Hang  to  the  Cnustitution,  and  you  will 
be  sustained  by  30,000  men  of  Massachu- 
setts." 

This  is  signed  by  a  number  of  citizens. 

Another,  from  Terre  Hauie,  Ind.,  says : 

"  Stand  firm  to  your  position,  and  in  de 
fense  of  the  Constitution  and  the  Execu- 
tive   Department.     Indiana   will  sustain 
you  with  100,000  brave,  stalwart  and  tried 
men." 

Speaking  of  the  impeachment  ques- 
tion in  the  Senate,  says  an  exchange: 
"  The  latest  report  states  that  every  Jaco- 
bin Senator  is  for  conviction,  excepting 
Ross,  ot  Kansas.  Assuming  these  reports 
to  be  true,  the  farcical  character  of  the 
impeachment  business  is  fully  apparent. 
The  judges  who  are  to  sit  upon  the  trial 
of  the  President ;  who  are  sworn  to  render 
judgment  impartially,  according  to  law, 
and  not  according  to  their  partisan  im- 
pulses,— these  conservators  of  justice  have 
already  made  up  their  minds  to  convict, 
even  before  the  charges  they  are  to  try 
have  been  made !  This  looks  as  if  the 
forms  of  jlaw,  the  judicial  decorum,  and 
the  respect  due  to  the  Presidential  office, 
if  not  to  its  incumbent,  w«re  to  be  pre- 
served with  a  vengeance !  But  it  is  the 
only  course  left  to  the  Jacobins  in  which 
they  have  any  chance  to  win.  If  the  trial 
be  not  rushed  through  while  partnan  rage 
is  hot,  there  will  not  be  fuel  enough  to 
carry  it  through  at  all."

The  Presidents  9Ie»>sag:e. 

The  President,  on  the  24th,  sent  to  the 
Senate  the  following  message,  which  was 
read  in  secret  session,  laid  on  the  table,  and 
ordered  printed.  The  Senate  removed 
from  it  the  injunction  of  secrecy : 
To  the  Senate  of  the  United  States : 

I  have  received  a  copy  of  the  resolution 
adopted  by  the  Senate  on  the  21st  inst.,  as 
follows : 

Whereas,  The  Senate  have  received  and  con- 
sidered the  communication  of  the  President 
piaticg  that  he  had  removed  Ldwln  M.  Sianlon, 
Secretary  of  War,  and  has  designated  the  Ad) uUut 
General  of  the  army  to  act  as  Secretary  of  War  ad 
interim ;  therefore, 

liesolcecL,  By  the  Senate  of  tho  United  States, 
that,  under  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the 
United  States,  the  President  has  not  the  power  to 
remove  the  Secretary  of  War.  and  designate  any 
other  officer  to  perform  the  dniiea  of  that  offico  ad 
interim.'* 

This  resolution  is  confined  to  the  power 
of  the  President  to  remove  the  Secretary 
et  War  and  to  designate  another  officer  to 
perform  the  duties  of  that  officer  ad 
interim,  and,  by  its  preamble,  is  ma.'ie  ex- 
pressly applicable  to  the  removal  of  Mr. 
Stanton,  and  the  designation  to  act  ad 
intertill  of  the  Adjutant  General  of  the 
army.  Without,  therefore,  attempting  to 
discuss  the  general  power  of  removal  as  to 
all  officers,  upon  which  subject  no  expres- 
sion of  opinion  is  contained  in  tho  resolu- 
tion, I  shall  confine  myself  to  the  qucstiou 
as  thus  limited  to  the  power  to  remove  the 
Secretary  of  War. 

It  is  declared  in  the  resolution,  "That, 
under  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the 
United  States,  the  President  has  no  power 
to  remove  the  Secretary  of  'War,  and 
designate  any  other  officer  to  pei  form  the 
duties  of  that  ollii^e  ad  interim."  As  to 
the  question  of  power  under  the  Constitu- 
tion, 1  do  not  propose,  at  present,  to  enter 
upon  its  discubsion.  'The  unilbrm  practice 
from  the  beginning  of  the  Government;  as 
established  by  every  President  who  has 
exercised  the  office,  and  the  decisions  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States, 
has  settled  the  question  in  favor  of  the 
power  of  the  President  to  remove  all 
officers  excepting  a  class  holding  appoint- 
ments of  a  judicial  character.  No  pru;- 
ticc  or  any  decision  has  ever  excepted  a 
Secretary  of  War  from  this  general  power 
of  tho  President  to  make  removals  from 
office.  It  is  only  necessary,  then,  that  I 
should  refer  to  the  powers  of  the  Execu- 
tive, under  the  laws  of  the  United  States, 
to  remove  from  ( fficc  a  Secretary  of  War. 

The  resolution  denies  that,  under  these 
laws,  this  power  has  any  existence;  in 
other  words,  it  affirms  that  no  such  author- 
ity is  recognized  or  given  by  the  statutes 
of  the  country.  What  then  are  the  laws 
of -the  United  States  which  deny  to  the 
President  the  power  to  remove  thr.t  offi- 
cer? I  know  of  but  two  laws  that  bear 
upon  this  question.  The  first  in  the  or- 
der of  time  is  the  act  of  August  7,  1780, 
creating  tho  Departmeni.  of  War,  whicb, 
after  providing  lor  a  Secretary  as  its  prin- 
cipal officer,  proceeds  as  follows : 

Sec.  2.  And  be  if  further  enacted.  That  there 
shall  be  in  the  said  Department  an  inferior  officer, 
to  bu  appointed  by  the  said  principal  officer,  to  be 
emitloyed  therein  as  he  shall  deem  proper,  and  to 
be  called  Chief  Clerk  in  the  Deparmcnt  of  War; 
and  who.  whenever  the  said  principal  officer  shall 
be  removed  from  office  by  the  President  of  the 
United  States,  or  in  any  other  case  of  vacancy, 
shall,  during  such  vacancy,  have  the  charge  and 
custody  of  all  records,  books,  and  papers,  apptr- 
lainiug  to  the  tald  department. 

It  is  clear  that  this  act,  passed  by  a 
Congress  many  of  whose  members  partici- 
pated in  the  formation  of  the  Constitution, 
so  far  from  denying  the  power  of  the  Pres- 
dent  to  remove  the  Secretary  of  War,  re- 
cogm'zes  it  as  cxistitg  in  the  Executive 
alone,  without  the  concurrence  of  tho 
Senate  or  any  other  department  of  the 
Government.  Furihermore,  this  act  does 
not  purport  to  confer  the  power  by  legis- 
lative authority;  nor,  in  fact,  was  there 
any  other  existing  legislation  through 
which  it  was  bestowed  upon  the  Exeeu- 
tivc.  The  recognition  of  the  power  by 
this  act  is,  therelore,  as  complete  as  a  re- 
cognition under  the  Consiitution  itself; 
for  there  was  no  other  source  of  authority 
from  which  it  could  be  derived. 

The  other  act  which  refers  to  this  tiucs- 
tion  is  that  regulating  the  tenure  of  certain 
civil  officers,  pa3sed  by  Congress  on  the 
2d  day  of  March,  1807.  The  first  section 
of  that  act  is  in  the  following  words : 

"That  every  person  holding  any  civil  office,  to 
which  be  has  been  appointed  by  and  with  the  ad- 
vice and  consent  of  the  Senate,  and  any  person 
who  shall  hereafter  be  appointed  to  any  such  of- 
fice, an'l  shall  become  duly  qualiiied  to  act  therein, 
is  and  shall  be  entitled  to  hold  the  office  until  a 
successor  shall  have  been  in  like  manner  appoint- 
ed or  duly  qualiiied.  except  as  herein  otherwise 
provided.  Provul'd,  That  the  Secretaries  of 
state,  of  tho  Treasury,  of  War,  of  the  Navy,  of 
the  Interior,  the  Postmaster  General,  and  the  At- 
torney (ieneral  shall  hold  their  offices  respectively 
for  and  during  tne  term  ol  the  Pret-ident  by  whom 
they  may  have  been  appointed,  and  lor  one  mouth 
thereafter,  subject  to  removal  by  and  with  the 
consent  of  the  Senate. 

The  fourth  section  of  the  same  act  re- 
stricts the  tenure  of  office  to  the  limit  pre- 
scribed by  the  law  creating  them.  That 
part  of  the  first  section  which  precedes 
the  proviso  declares  that  every  person 
holding  a  civil  office  to  which  he  has  been, 
or  may  be,  appointed  by  and  v;ith  the  ad- 
vice and  consent  of  the  Senate,  shall  hold 
such  office  till  a  successor  shall  have  been 
in  like  manner  appointed.  It  purposes  to 
take  from  the  Executive  during  the  fixed 
time  e6t.ibli.shed  for  the  tenure  of  cilice, 
the  independent  power  of  removal,  and  to 
require  for  such  removal  the  concurrciit 
action  of  the  President  and  Senate.  The 
proviso  that  follows  proceeds  to  fix  the 
tenure  of  office  of  the  several  heads  of  the 
departments,  whose  tenure  had  never  been 
detiued  before,  by  prescribiug  that  they 
shall  hold  their  t  flicc  respectively  for  and 
duiing  the  term  of  the  Presideutby  whom 
they  mav  have  been  appointed,  and  for 
one  month  thereafter,  subject  to  removal 
by  and  with  the  advic*  and  con?cnt  of  llie 
Senate.  Thus,  as  to  these  enumerated 
officers,  the  proviso  takes  from  the  Presi- 
dent the  power  of  remov'd,  except  with 
the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate.  By 
its  terms,  however,  before  he  can  be  de- 
prived of  the  power  to  displace  them,  it 
must  appear  that  he  himselfhas  appointed 
them.  It  is  only  in  that  case  that  they 
have  any  tenure  of  tffice,  or  any  indepen- 
dent right  to  hold  during  the  term  ol  the 
President  and  one  month  after  the  cessa- 
tion of  his  official  functions.  The  provis- 
ion, therefore,  gives  no  tenure-of-office  to 
any  one  of  these  officers  who  has  been  ap- 
pointed by  the  President  beyond  one 
month  after  the  accession  of  his  successor. 
In  the  case  of  Mr.  Stanton,  the  only  ap- 
pointment under  which  he  held  the  office 
of  Secretary  of  War  was  that  conferred 
upon  him  by  my  immediate  pre-decessor, 
with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate. 
He  has  never  held  from  me  any  appoint- 
ment as  the  head  of  the  War  Department. 
Whatever  right  he  had  to  hold  the  office 
was  derived  from  that  original  appoint- 
ment and  my  own  sufi'erance.  The  law 
was  not  intended  to  protect  such  an  in- 
cumbent of  the  War  Department  by  taking 
from  the  President  the  power  to  remove 
him.  This,  in  my  judgment,  is  perfectly 
clear.  The  law  itself  admits  of  no  other 
construction.  We  find  in  all  that  portion 
of  the  first  section  which  precedes  the  pro- 
viso, that,  as  to  civil  officers  generally,  the 
President  is  deprived  of  the  pow  er  of  re- 
moval, and  it  is  plain  that,  if  there  had 
been  no  proviso,  that  power  would  just  as 
clearly  have  been  taken  from  him  so  far 
as  it  applies  to  the  seven  heads  of  depart- 
ments; but  for  reasons  which  were  no 
doubt  satisfactory  to  Congress,  these  prin- 
cipal officers  were  speciaUy  provided  lor 
and,  as  to  them,  the  express  and  only  re- 
quirement is,  that  the  President  who 
appointed  them  shall  not,  without  the 
advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate,  remove 
them  from  office.  The  consequence  is, 
that,  as  to  my  Cabinet,  embracing  the 
officers  designated  la  the  first  section,  the 
act  takes  from  me  the  power,  without  the 
concurrence  of  the  Senate,  to  remove  any 
one  of  them  whom  I  have  appointed  ;  but 
it  does  not  protect  such  of  them  as  I  did 
not  appoint,  nor  give  them  any  tenure  of 
office  beyond  my  pleasure.  An  examina- 
tion of  thii  act,  then,  shows  that  while  in 


one  part  of  the  section,  provision  is  made 
for  officers  generally,  in  another  chuse 
there  is  a  class  of  officers  designated  by 
their  oiicial  titles  who  are  exempted  from 
the  general  terms  of  the  law,  in  reference 
to  whom  a  clear  distinction  is  made. 

As  to  the  general  power  of  removal 
lunited  in  the  first  clause  of  the  section, 
this  distintion  is,  that,  as  to  such  cf  these 
enumerated  officers  as  hold  under  the  ap- 
pointment of  the  President,  the  power  of 
removal  can  only  be  exercised  by  him  with 
the  consent  of  the  Senate;  while  as  to 
those  who  have  not  been  appointed  by 
him,  there  is  no  like  denial  of  his  power 
to  displace  them.  It  would  be  a  violation 
of  the  plain  meaning  of  this  enactment  to 
place  Mr.  Stanton  upon  the  same  footing 
as  these  heads  of  departments  who  have 
been  appointed  by  himself.  As  to  him, 
this  law  gives  him  no  tenure  of  office.  The 
members  of  my  Cabinet  who  have  been 
appointed  by  me  are,  by  this  act,  entitled 
to  hold  for  one  month  after  the  term  of 
my  office  shall  cease;  but  Mr.  Stanton 
could  not,  against  the  wish  of  my  succes- 
sor, hold  a  moment  thereafter.  If  he  were 
permitted  by  that  successor  to  hold  for  the 
first  two  weeks,  would  that  successor  have 
no  power  to  remove  him '?  But  the  power 
of  my  successor  over  him  would  be  no 
greater  than  my  own.  If  my  successor 
would  have  the  power  to  remove  Mr.  Stan- 
ton alter  permitting  him  to  remain  a 
period  of  two  weelcs,  because  he  was  not 
appointed  by  him,  but  by  his  predecessor, 
I,  who  have  tolerated  Mr.  Stantcm  more 
than  two  years,  certainly  have  the  same 
right  to  remove  him,  and  upon  the  same 
ground,  namely  :  that  he  was  not  appointed 
by  me,  but  by  my  predecessor. 

Under  this  construction  of  the  tcnuie- 
of-offlce  act,  I  have  never  doubted  m\- 
power  to  remove  him.  Whether  the  act 
was  constitutional  or  not,  it  was  alw^yo 
my  opinion  that  it  did  not  secure  him  from 
removal.  I  was  aware,  however,  that 
there  were  doubts  as  to  the  construction 
of  the  law,  and,  from  the  lirst,  deemed  it 
desirable  that,  at  the  earliest  possible  mo- 
ment, these  doubts  should  be  settled,  and 
the  true  construction  of  the  act  fixed,  by 
a  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States.  My  order  of  suspension 
in  August  last  was  intended  to  place  the 
case  in  such  a  position  as  would  make  a 
resort  to  a  judicial  decision  both  neceisary 
and  proper.  My  understanding  and 
wishes,  however,  under  that  order  of  sus- 
pension, were  frustrated,  and  the  late  or- 
der for  Mr.  Stanton's  removal  was  a  fur- 
ther step  toward  the  accomplishment  of 
that  purpose.  I  repeat  that  my  own  con- 
viction as  to  the  true  construction  of  the 
law,  and  as  to  its  constitutionality,  were 
settled  and  were  sustained  by  every  mem- 
ber of  my  Cabinet,  including  Mr.  Stanton 
himself.  Upon  the  question  of  conslitu- 
tionality  each  one  in  turn  deliberately  ad- 
vised me  that  the  tenure-of-office  act  was 
unconstitutional.  Upon  the  question 
whether  as  lo  those  members  who  were 
appointed  by  my  predecessor  that  act  took 
from  me  the  power  to  remove  thcai,  those 
members  emphatically  stated,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  others  sitting  in  the  Cabinet, 
that  they  did  not  come  within  tlic  provis- 
ions of  the  act,  and  that  it  was  no  protec- 
tion to  them.  No  one  dissented  from  this 
construction,  and  1  understood  them  all  to 
acquiesce  in  its  correctness.  In  a  matter 
of  such  grave  conseciuences  I  was  not  dis- 
posed to  rest  upon  my  own  opinions, 
though  fortified  by  my  constitutional  ad- 
visers, and  have,  therefore,  sought  to  bring 
the  (luestlon,  at  as  early  a  day  as  possible, 
before  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  for  final  and  authoritative  decis- 
ion. 

In  respect  to  so  much  of  the  resolution 
as  relates  to  the  designation  of  an  officer 
to  act  as  Secretary  of  War  ad  iidcrim,  I 
have  only  to  say  that  I  have  exercised  this 
power  under  the  provisions  of  the  first 
section  of  the  act  of  Feb.  lo,  1705,  which, 
so  far  as  they  are  applicable  to  vacancy 
caused  by  removals,  I  understand  lo  be 
still  m  force.  The  legislation  upon  the 
subject  of  ad  interim  appointments  in  the 
Executive  Department  stand  as  lo  the  war 
office  as  follows :  The  section  of  the  act 
of  the  17ih  of  August,  178t»,  made  pro- 
vision for  a  vacancy  in  the  very  case  of  a 
removal  of  the  head  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment, and,  upon  such  a  vacancy  occurring, 
gives  the  charge  and  custody  of  the 
records,  books,  and  papers  to  the  chief 
clerk.  Next,  by  the  act  of  the  8th  of  May 
1703,  section  8,  it  is  provided,  that,  in  case 
of  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  death,  ab- 
sence from  the  seat  of  Government,  or 
sickness  of  the  head  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment, the  President  may  authorize  a  per- 
son to  perform  the  duties  of  the  oliice  un- 
til a  successor  is  appointed  or  the  disabil- 
ity removed.  For  tho  case  of  a  vacancy 
caused  by  removal,  the  act,  it  will  be  ob- 
served, does  not  provide.  Then,  by  the 
first  section  of  the  act  of  Feb.  i:j,  1705,  it 
is  provided  that,  in  case  of  any  vacancy, 
the  President  may  appoint  a  person  to 
perfoim  the  duties  while  the  vacancy  ex- 
ists. 

1  hcse  acts  are  followed  by  that  of  the 
20lh  of  February,  18CII,  by  the  first  sec- 
tion of  which  provision  is  again  made  for 
vacancy  caused  by  the  death,  resignation, 
absence  from  the  seat  of  Government,  or 
sickness  of  the  head  of  any  Executive  De- 
partment; and,  upon  the  occurrence  of 
such  a  vacancy,  power  is  given  to  the 
President  to  authorize  the  head  of  any  Ex- 
ecutive Department,  or  other  officers  in 
either  of  said  departments  whose  tppoint- 
ment  is  vested  in  the  President,  at  his  dis- 
cretion, to  perform  the  duties  of  the  said 
respective  offices  until  a  successor  be  ap- 
pointed, or  such  absence  or  inabiUty  by 
sickness  shall  cease ;  provided  that  no  one 
vacancy  shall  be  supplied  in  the  man- 
ner aforesaid,  for  a  longer  period 
than  six  months.  This  law,  with  Fome 
modifications,  re-enacts  the  act  of  1707, 
and  provides  one  for  the  sort  cf  vacancies 
to  be  filled ;  but,  like  the  act  of  1702,  it 
makes  no  provision  for  a  vacancy  occa- 
sioned by  removal.  It  has  reference  alto- 
gether to  vacancies  arising  from  other 
causes.  According  to  my  construction  of 
the  act  of  1863,  while  it  implies  the  repeal 
of  the  act  of  1702,  regulating  the  vacan- 
cies therein  described,  it  has  no  bearing 
whatever  on  so  much  of  the  act  of  1705  as 
applies  to  a  vacancy  caused  by  removal. 
The  act  of  1795,  therefore,  furnishes  the 
rules  for  vacancies  occasioned  by  removal 
— one  of  the  vacancies  expressly  referred 
to  in  the  act  of  the  7th  of  August,  1789, 
creating  the  Department  of  War.  Cer- 
tainly there  is  no  expres^s  repeal  by  the  act 
of  18G3  of  the  act  of  1705.  The  repeal,  if 
there  is  any,  is  by  implication,  and  can 
only  be  admitted  so  far  as  there  is  a  clear 
inconsistency  between  the  two  acts.  The 
act  of  1705  is  inconsistent  witn  that  of 
1803,  as  to  a  vacancy  caused  by  death, 
resignation,  absence  or  sickness,  bul 
not  at  all  inconsistent  as  to  a  vacancy 
caused  by  removal.  It  is  assuredly  proper 
that  the  Jf  resident  should  have  the  same 
power  to  fill  temporarily  a  vacancy  occa- 
sioned by  removal  as  he  has  lo  supply  a 
place  made  vacant  by  death  or  the  expira- 
tion of  a  term.  If,  for  instance,  the  in- 
cumbent of  an  office  should  be  found 
wholly  unfit  to  execute  the  functions,  and 
the  public  service  should  require  his  im- 
mediate expulsion,  a  remedy  should  exist 
and  be  at  once  applied,  and  time  be  allowed 
the  President  to  select  and  appoint  a  suc- 
cessor, as  is  permitted  him  in  case  of  a 
vacancy  caused  by  death  or  the  termina- 
tion of  an  official  term.  The  necessity, 
therefore,  forjan  ad  interim  appointment  is 
just  as  great,  and,  indeed,  may  be  greater, 
in  cases  of  removal,  than  m  others.  Be- 
fore it  can  be  held,  therefore,  that  the  pow- 
er given  by  the  act  of  1795  in  cases  of  re- 
moval is  abrogated  by  the  succeeding  leg- 
islation, an  express  repeal ougfit  toappcar. 
So  wholesome  a  power  should  certainly 
not  be  taken  away  by  a  loose  implication. 

It  may  be,  however,  that,  in  this  as  in 
other  cases  of  implied  repeals,  doubts  may 
arise.  It  is  oonfessidly  one  of  the  subtle 
and  debatable  itatutefti   Ifupontacha 


question  1  have  fallen  into  an  erroneous 
construction,  I  submit  whether  it  should 
be  characterized  as  a  violation  of  official 
duty  and  of  law. 

I  have  deemed  it  proper,  in  vindication 
of  the  course  which  I  have  consedered  it 
my  duty  to  take,  to  pliice  before  the  Sen- 
ate the  reasons  upon  which  I  have  based 
my  action.  Although  1  have  been  ad  vised 
by  every  member  of  my  Cabinet  that  the  en- 
tire Tcuurc-of  Office  act  is  unconstituvion- 
al,  and  therefore  void,  and  although  1  have 
expressly  concurred  in  that  opinion  in  the 
veto  message  which  I  had  the  honor  to 
submit  to  Congress  when  I  returned  the 
bill  for  consideration,  I  have  refrained  from 
making  a  removal  ol  any  officer  contrary  to 
the  provisiots  of  the  law,  and  have  only 
exercised  that  power  in  the  case  of  Mr.  Stan- 
ton, which,  in  my  judgment,  did  not  come 
within  its  provisions.  1  have  endeavored  to 
proceed  with  the  greatest  circumspection, 
and  have  acted  only  in  an  extreme  and  ex- 
ceptional case,  carefully  following  the 
course  which  1  have  marked  cut  for  my- 
self as  a  general  rule,  faithfully  to  execute 
all  the  laws,  though  passed  over  my  ob- 
jections on  the  fccore  of  constitutionality. 
In  the  present  instance  I  hrve  appealed, 
or  sought  to  appeal,  to  that  final  arbiter 
fixed  by  the  Constitution  for  the  determi- 
nation of  such  questions.  To  this  course 
I  have  been  impelled  by  the  solemn  obli- 
gations which  rest  upon  me  to  sustain  in- 
violate the  powers  of  the  high  cffioc  com- 
mitted to  my  hands.  Whatever  be  the 
consequences,  merely  personal  to  myself, 
I  could  not  allow  them  to  prevail  against 
a  public  duty  so  clear  to  my  own  mind, 
and  so  imperative.  If  what  was  prpbibie 
had  been  certain— if  1  had  been  iuUy  nd- 
vised,  when  I  removed  Mr.  Stanton,  that, 
in  thus  dtlending  the  trust  couiuiitltd  to 
my  hands,  my  own  removal  was  lurc  to 
follow — I  could  not  have  hesitated.  Act- 
uaic'l  by  public  considerations  of  the 
highest  Ca« racier,  I  earnest Iv  protest 
against  the  i^c.olution  of  the  Senate, 
which  charges  me  in  ^bat  1  have  done, 
with  a  violation  of  tUe  Couititution  and 
laws  of  tho  United  States.

The  action  cf  Judge  Cartter,  in  dispos- 
ing of  the  case  of  Stanton  against  Tiionias 
by  liberating  the  latter  without  bail,  was 
a  pirtisan  trick,  executed  by  a  parti^n 
judge,  to  delcat  the  course  of  the  lc»w,  and 
prevent  the  President  from  gelling  a 
speedy  decision  upon  the  validity  of 
the  Tenure- of- Office  law  by  the  Supreme 
Court. 

If  the  Tenurc-of-Offijc  luw  I  e  valid,  why 
seek  to  prevent  a  decision  lo  that  efitct  by 
the  only  tribunal  which  cau  render  fueh  u 
decision':'  Or  it;  ns  Jacobins  a:sume,  the 
right  to  impeach  the  Pres-idcut  would  be 
the  same  if  the  law  were  inviilid,  why  seek 
to  thwait  the  course  of  juttioc,  even  if  an 
adverse  decision  should  Jte  the  result? 

The  coui  te  which  the  impeachers  chooFC 
to  pursue  furnishes  the  answer.  By  seek- 
ing to  prevent  a  judici:il  decision  upon  the 
law,  they  virtually  concede  that  tUc  law 
is  invalid,  and  that  a  lUcisiou  lo  that  tfi'cct 
would  overthrow  their  scheme  of  deposing 
the  President,  law  or  no  law,  on  pa/tisau 
grounds.  Every  step  in  their  pi^^re^s 
thus  far  shows  that  the  impeacimeut  busi- 
ness is  not  to  vindicate  law,  bul  to  get  rid 
of  a  public  officer  because  he  la  obnoxious 
to  the  party. — Chicatjo  Taius.

Bc?idi!  the  window  I  sit  alone,' 

And  1  watch  the  fetars  come  ont^ 
I  catch  the  sweetnfss  of  Lucy's  tone 
And  the  mirth  of  the  chorus'  chout ; 
I  listen  and  look  on  the  solemn  nljrht, 
Whilst  they  etand  tinjln^  hencalh  the  light. 

Lucy  looks  just  like  an  early  rose,

And  every  day  more  fair  stie  rtovvs 
(Homebody  will  not  say  me  no) ; 
And  she  Miiffji  like  a  bird  whooc  heart  is  blcBsed 
(And  somebody  tbinkis  of  building  a  nest  I ) 

And  now  eUc  chooses  another  tune, 

Uue  that  was  oficn  simg  by  me— 

I  do  not  ttiiiik  that  thoso  niithta  in  Jnuo 

Are  half  as  fioe  as  they  used  to  be ; 

Or  '[i*  colder  watching  the  solemn  niaht 

Than  standing  singing  b«neaththe  light.

TISK    I.ITTl.K    lIKROI^iE. 

"  Moraine^  again !"  and  the  weary,  wast- 
ed invalid  lilted  his  head  from  the  pillow 
and  looked  pitifully  over  the  dim  room. 
"  Oh,  that  the  night  had  been  longer ! " 
To  the  wretched,  sleep  is  dear.  "My 
poor,  poor  wife— my  darling  babies— mutt 
they  Ireczj  and  stiirve?"  And,  with  tears 
gu:ihin^?  from  his  eyes,  the  pale  man  buried 
his  hcail  in  the  scanty  covering  anti 
groaned  aloud. 

Ji  \>a3  i>o  wonder  that  he  was  out  of 
heart  oa  that  cold,  dark  December  day.  At 
best  he  tad  a  hard  struggle  to  get  food, 
and  for  the  past  six  months  the  struggle 
had  been  desperate,  for  his  wife  had  been 
unable  to  assist  him  in  the  least,  being 
coniined  to  her  bed  with  a  slow,  wasting 
disease.  His  little  daughter  Marie,  a  pret- 
ty child  of  twelve,  kept  the  room  tidy,  and 
herself,  and  two  little  brothers,  like  wax. 
By  the  aid  of  Tier  mother's  whispered  di- 
rect! -ns,  she  also  managed  to  do  up  the 
weekly  washing  and  ironing. 

"  My  htile  sunbeam,"  the  father  fondly 
called  her,  while  the  mother  would  say,  in 
her  low,  sweet  tones,  "  our  angel." 

One  nieht  the  young  housekeeper  waited 
until  it  was  pilch  dark  for  her  father  to 
come  home  to  a  frugal  supper,  and  then, 
with  fear.'ul  forebodings  at  her  heart,  un- 
dressed the  little  boysand  put  them  to  bed, 
and  tied  on.her  hood  and  cloak  to  go  for 
him.  A  crowd  was  at  the  very  threshold. 
"With  a  wild  cry,  she  rushe'd  toward  the  in- 
animate form  they  carried  upon  a  board. 
It  was  bcr  father,  brought  home  with  a 
brrken  leg. 

A  week  has  parsed  since  this  misfortune. 
By  lae  sale  of  the  few  pieces  of  furniture, 
the  wolf  had  been  kept  from  the  door. 
But  now,  nothing  remained  save  the  coarse 
bed  on  which  the  distressed  ones  slept.  No 
coal  for  the  little  grate ;  no  tea  for  the 
feverish  lips;  no  crust  for  the  famished 
children !     W'h  it  should  be  done. 

It  wa3  a  question  little  Marie  asked  her- 
self aor.iin,  as  they  lay  there  watching  the 
few  pale  sunbeams  that  struggled  through 
the  window.  And  f  !ie  asked  it  ofteacr 
after  she  had  risen  and  dressed  herself  and 
brothers,  and  smoothed  the  two  beds. 
Bread  ti.ey  must  have  that  day.  Tliey 
were  all  laint  even  now,  and  the  boys 
clacaoring  for  their  breaklast. 

buddciily  a  bright  thought  came  to  the 
little  daui:hter.  She  remembered  having 
s^jcn,  in  the  co^Fce-houEes,  young  girls  no 
taller  tht^n  she-.  Waiting  upon  the  custom- 
ers. Perhaps  they  would  try  her.  "11 
they  only  would,"  she  murmured  softly. 
"I  am  hardy,  quick  and  patient,  and  I 
would  try  so  Lard  to  oblige  "  I  am  pretty, 
too,  she  might  truly  have  added,  had  there 
been  a  spark  of  vanity  in  her  heart ;  for 
she  was  a  sweet  child,  with  a  brow  like  a 
sunny  snowdritt,  and  eyes  like  the  spring 
viole  s  that  nestle  in  the  wo<)dlai:d3.  "1 
will  try,  at  least,  and  see  what  I  can  do;" 
and,  alter  watching  a  moment  the  weary 
sleep  of  her  parents,  she  whispered  to  the 
little  boys  that  she  was  going  out  to  get 
some  bread  for  them,  and  hurried  away. 

Shi:  did  go  to  the  btiker's  but  her  pitiful 
story  failed  to  touch  his  hard  heart,  and 
there  were  tears  on  her  cold  cheek  as  she 
turned  away.  Even  if  she  secured  a  place, 
she  could  hope  fur  no  wages  until  Satur- 
day, and  there  wero  four'  weary  days  be- 
tween tiiis  and  that.  Broad  would  be  too 
late  if  Fho  waited  till  tLen.  What  should 
she  do — beg  ?  She  asked  herself  the  (lues- 
tir»n  with  a  quivering  lip.  Never  before 
had  their  povt-rty  driven  them  to  that 
fetre.lt,  and  it  was  hard,  even  now,  with  the 
picture  ot  that  wretched  home  fresh  in  her 
visi'  )n,  to  plead  for  charity.  But  she  did  it. 
Again  and  again  she  said  to  the  passer-by, 
"Please,  yi  r,  please,  ma'am,  give  me  a  penny 
to  bay  bread  lor  my  sick  parents." 

But  the  gentlemen  had  their  overcoats 
buttoiicd  up  to  their  chins,  and  the  ladies 
were  enveloped  in  furs,  and  it  was  too 
much  like  trouble  to  lind  their  pocket- 
books  or  purses,  just  to  supply  a  beggar's 
wants. 

"Go  to  the  soup-house,"  said  one,  at 
last,  more  churlish  than  the  rest.  "  The 
city  provides  fur  such  as  you." 

It  was  a  new  idea  to  her,  and,  as  fast  as 
feet  could  carry  her,  she  went,  and,  enter- 
iug  iii^tfeathiess  haste,  told  her  story  to 
the  attendant  matron. 

"  i  win  report  the  case  to  the  commit- 
tee," said  the  woman  quietly,  making  a 
mimoraiulnm  of  the  name  and  number  of 
street.  "Ceme  in  tomorrow  morning, 
and  I  will  do  what  I  can  for  you." 

To  n^orrow  !  she  would  become  too  weak 
to  vialk  so  far  by  that  time,  and  what 
woxild  become  of  the  rett  ? 

With  a  heavy  heart,  she  went  home, 
having  no  courage  to  present  herself  as  a 
waiter  to  any  of  the  coffee-houses  she 
passetl  on  her  way. 

"Did  you  get  some''"  cried  the  boys, 
gathering  about  her,  and  pulling  otf  her 
cloak  to  bee  if  it  were  hidden  in  her  cloak 
or  under  her  arms. 

"Did  you  get  some?"  said  two  faint 
voice-  from  thi;  bed  in  the  corner,  and  the 
coverlet  was  thrown  off,  and  two  pairs  ot 
thin,  white  hands  put  forth.  '    > 

"No,  no,"  she  answered,  plaintively; 
"but  1  will  try  again.  Keep  up  £ood 
hope." 

"  There  will  be  plenty  out  of  the  oven 
now.  Yes,  plenty,**  she  said  to  herself,  as 
she  buttoned  Iter  cloak  on  the  threshold ; 
"  plenty,  and  I'll  have  some,  too.  They 
shall  rot  siarve.  Men  and.  women  forsake 
me ;  God  doesn't  hear  me  any  longer ! 
There  is  nothing  left  for  me  to  do  but 

Her  face  paled  as  she  spoke  it,  and  for  a 
few  moments  there  was  a  wild  wrestle  in 
her  heart.  Then  she  went  on  quietly, 
pausing  an  iastant  before  each  baker's 
door,tiad  looking  anxiously  within.  By 
and  t-y  she  found  one  that  seeme  d  empty. 

A  ^h'.lo  pile  of  steaming  loaves  lay 
upo«  t'lc  counter. 

She  rushed  in  and  seized  one.  and,  hiding 
it  under  her  cloak,  lied  madly  up  the  street. 
Bat  th<i  baker  had  seen  her  from  the  little 
sitting-rooua,  and  wi«  after  her,  crying 
lustily,  "  Stop  thief,  stop  thief!"  A  crowd 
follow*  d  her  and  the  poor  child  was  soon 
run  down. 

"  .1.  ce^r  case,"  said  the  police  officer, 
who  took  her.  "  She  muut  go  to  t'ae  court- 
ro<jm." 

In  vain  she  pleaded  with  them,  and  told 
her  story. 

They  must'do  their  duty;  she  might 


have  begged,  she  might  have  gone  to  the 
soap  house ;  there  was  no  cxcvwefor  steal- 
ing, at  any  rate. 

No  excuse,  and  her  mother  was  dying 
for  food ! 

An  important  trial  was  just  closing,  and 
all  the  avenues  to  the  court  house  were 
thronged. 

"They'll  be  through  soon,"  said  the 
oflicer  to  the  b.aker;  "we'll  wait  here  a 
few  minutes.  No  danger  of  her  getting 
away  while  my  grip  is  on  her,"  and  he 
tightened  his  grip  on  the  shrinking  arm, 
till  the  flesh  quivered  with  pain. 

"Take  me  home  lirst,"  said  she, 
sadly ;  "  they  will  worry  about  me  so. 
My  poor  mother  will  die  if  she  thinks  1 
am  lost." 

"  They'll  soon  find  out  where  you  are," 
said  he,  grullly.  "  Bad  news  is  like  light- 
ning, it  travels  so  fast." 

"  Oh  dear,  oh  dear  !  What  will  become 
of  them  ?  "  and  she  sobbed  aloud. 

A  little  Ctrl  about  her  age  was  passing 
by— a  rich'man's  child— you  would  know 
it  by  the  embroidered  dress  and  cloak,  the 
rich  velvet  hood,  and  the  costly  fur  tippet 
and  muff.  But  there  was  no  false  pride 
hidden  under  the  expensive^  raiment; 
a  warm  heart  was  beating  there,  and 
its  sympathies  went  out  far  toward 
the  poor  little  prisoner.  For  a  moment 
she  paused,  as  if  irresolute  upon  her 
plan  of  action ;  then  laying  her  mittened 
hand  gently  on  the  officer's  she  said, 
politely  : 

"  May  I  speak  with  her  ?  " 

"  Oh,  yes ;  slie  is  not  committed  yet." 

Putting  her  soft,  rosy  cheek  close  to  the 
purple,  cold  one,  she  whispered  very  ear- 
nestly. Marie  told  her  the  touching  story, 
and  begged  she  would,  by  the  love  she 
bore  her  mother,  find  out  her  humble 
home,  and  comP:)rt  the  distressed  ones. 

"I  will,  1  will,"  the  stranger  replied 
earnestly  ;  "  and  don't  you  cry  any  more  ; 
my  father  knows  the  judge,  and  he'll  get 
you  away  to-morrow.  Gooel-bye— keep 
up  a  good  heart ;"  and  off  she  ran. 

She  knew  her  mother  to  be  one  of  the 
most  charitable  of  women,  and  hastened 
home  to  tell  her  story  of  Marie ;  but  un- 
fortunately she  had  just  gone  to  ride,  and 
would  not  be  back  till  near  dinner  time. 

"  What  can  I  do?"  she  cried,  and  wrung 
her  hands.  "  They  want  coal,  and  bread, 
and  tea,  and  so  many  things,  and  I  have 
only  ten  cents  in  my  pocket." 

She  sat  down  on  the  marble  steps  and 
pondered.  All  at  once  her  eyes  bright- 
ened, and  a  beautiful  color  flashed  in  her 
face. 

"  I  will  do  It,"  she  said,  resolutely  ;  "  ma- 
ma will  forgive  when  she  knows  all. 
Without  fire,  without  food,  nearly  naked, 
quite  starved.  Oh,  she  will  be  glad  I 
thought  so  far,"  and  she  bounded  down 
the  street  and  rushed  around  the  corner. 

Pushing  open  the  plate  glass  door  of  the 
most  fashionable  hairdresser  in  the  city, 
she  went  quietly  up  to  the  attendant  and 
asked  to  see  Monsieur  B.  He  ushered  her 
into  the  inner  room,  sajing  he  would  call 
him. 

Her  heart  fluttered  while  she  waited,  but 
her  resolution  did  not  fail. 

"  Ah !  it  is  my  little  Theresa ;  and  Mon- 
sieur B.  took  her  hand  kindly.  "  Good 
morning,  dear.  Come  to  have  your  ring- 
lets dressed  for  the  ball  to-night  I— no?" 
as  she  shook  her  hctd,  "  why  not  ? — you 
go  certainly ;  you  are  one  of  Monsieur's 
best  pupils.     What  is  it  then,  my  dear'?" 

For  a  moment  her  lips  quivered ;  then 
she  spoke  up  quickly  : 

"  You  said  once,  sir,  you  would  give  me 
an  eagle  for  my  curls.  Will  you  elo  it  now 
—today — this  minute?" 

The  hair-dre.'-ser  was  astonished.  What 
could  the  child  mean  ?  To  cut  off  those 
curls,  long,  silken  and'golden  colored,  the 
pale  gold  of  a  stray  sunbeam ;  to  sell  them 
was  surely  a  crime. 

"  Does  she,  y(.ur  mother,  does  she  know 
you  came  here?" 

"No,  sir;  bat  she  will  not  blame  me 
when  I  tell  her  how  it  was.  Oh,  no!  she 
is  too  good !' 

"  And  how  is  it,  my  dear  ?  Make  a  friend 
of  me,  and  tell  me  how  it  comes  you  ask 
me  to  buy  your  hair,"  and  he  stroked  the 
glossy  curl.^  r.s  tenderly  as  a  father  might. 

She  he.sitated,  and  then  opened  her 
heart  to  him.  "There  was  a  mist  m  his 
eyes  when  she  linislied  her  plaintive  story. 
lie  walked  the  floor  a  moment,  as  if  irres- 
olute, then  stopping  betorc  her,  he  took 
out  his  pocketljook,  and  handed  her  two 
half  eagles.  She  put  them  in  her  purse, 
and  took  off  her  hood. 

"Not  now,  my  little  angel!"  he  said 
huskily,  "not  now,  I  am  too  busy ;  to-mor- 
row will  do  as  well ;  or,  stay,  1  will  come 
in  this  evening.  Till  then,  do  not  men- 
tion it  to  any  one.  Go  now  on  your  mis- 
sion, my  sister  of  eharity,"  and  he  led  her 
to  the  door. 

How  quiciily  her  little  feet  flew 
over  the  pavement.  She  could  hardly 
speak  when  she  had  reached  the  baker  s 
shop. 

"Two  loaves,  sir— large  ones  too,"  she 
gasped,  and  threw  down  one  of  the  gold 
pieces. 

The  man  stared  at  her  curiously.  Tlie 
color  rose  to  her  brow  but  she  said  nothing, 
and  hurried  away  with  her  warm,  fragrant 
bundle. 

"  Is  that  you,  M\T:e  ?  What  kept  you 
so  long,  dau:- liter?  (^uick,  break  me  a 
crumb,  I  am  l^int." 

Like  an  angel  the  little  stranger 
looked  to  them  as  sue  (glided  in,  her  cheeks 
like  apple-blossoms,  and  her  hair  falling 
over  her  shoulders  like  ripples  of  sun- 
shine. 

"  Marie  cannot  come  home,  yet,"  she 
said,  in  a  voice  that  was  as  a  robin's  in 
May  lime.  "  But  she  will  return  to  mor- 
row ;  perhaps  this  evening.  She  has  sent 
me  with  the  bread.  See  the  two  nice 
loaves  I've  brought,"  and  she  broke  it  in 
fragments. 

Tears  coursed  tlown  her  face  as  she  saw 
how  eagerly  they  clutched  them.  She 
had  never  dreamed  of  poverty  like  this ; 
never  known  how  hungry  folks  may  be 
and  live. 

"  I  must  go  now,"  she  said,  opening  the 
door ;  "  but  I  will  come  again  soon  and 
make  you  comfortable,  and  she  hurried  to 
the  nearest  grocer  and  bought  a  basket  of 
provisions,  and  engaged  him  to  send  in 
some  kindlings  and  coal. 

The  little  boys  helped  her  build  a  fire 
in  the  coal  stove,  and  when  it  blazed  mer- 
rily, she  put  on  the  kettle,  and  soon  had  a 
refreshing  cup  of  tea  fur  each  invalid, 
and  a  piatter  of  smoking  potatoes  for  the 
children. 

"  Where  is  M^irie,  do  you  know,  my  lit- 
tle angel  ?  "  asked  the  sick  mother,  as  she 
gave  back  the  cup. 

"  O  yes,  I  know,"  she  answered  cheer- 

ully.     "  Didn't  I  say  she  would  be  home 

early,  tomorrow  ?    Don't  worry.    Better 

days  are  coming.    I'll  bring  her  in  the 

morning.     Good-by." 

It  was  as  though  a  fairy  had  come  and 
vanished;  =a  kind-hearted  fairy,  for,  beside 
the  supply  of  coal  and  wood,  a  half  eagle 
lay  in  the  sick  father's  hand. 

Munuuring  to  himself  all  the  tender  ad- 
jectives in  the  French  language,  the  good 
hairdresser  inllficdiaiely  hastened  to  the 
court  room.  The  judge  was  a  friend  of 
his,  too,  and  he  hoped  to  save  the  child 
from  prison.  She  had  not  been  brought 
in,  the  court  having  adjourned  for  half  an 
hour.  He  asked  for  a  private  Interview 
with  the  judge.  As  fcoon  as  it  was 
granted,  he  told  him  all  Marie'*  distress, 
and  the  generous  kindness  of  Uttle 
Theresa. 

"Poor  child!  good  child!"  said -his 
listener,  wiping  his  glasses.  "  She  must-.go 
to  prison,  I  suppose,  but  it  shrill  be  tp^a 
chamber  in  my  own  house.  Go  intocoiirt, 
and  tell  the  &ume  story  over,  it  will  he  "bet- 
ter than  a  lawyer's  plea."  ' 

He  did  so,  and  there  w'as  not  a  di^eye' 
in  the  audience  when  he  ce'ased.  Evfen 
the  baker  hung  his  head,  and  seemed  tb 
mu=e.  Before  the  breathless  silence  had 
iMea  broken,  he  looked  up  and  said  to  the 


judge,  "  I  withdraw  my  complaint ;  let  her 
go  with  me  and  take  all  sh^MMAi."   '"" 

The  spacious  room  rang  with  applause, 
and,  while  the  enthusiasm  was  at  its  height, 
a  thoughtful  old  man  went  about  the 
crowd  with  his  hat.  People's  fingers  found 
their  pocket-lKXiks  as  if  bv  intuition,  and, 
when  he  poured  the  collection  into  Marie's 
apron,  she  screamed  with  joy.  No  more 
huBger,  no  more  cold,  no  more  nakedness 
that  winter.    They  were  rich. 

The  baker  took  her  home  himself,  and 
told  her  as  the  door  not  to  worry  about  the 
bread  till  spring,  for  his  wagon  would 
leave  them  all  they  wanted  every  morning. 
How  lightly  she  bounded  up  the  staircase. 
It  was  hke  a  bird's  footfall,  a  singing  bird's 
in  the  lime  of  flowers. 

"  Have  you  come,  Marie  ?"  Two  voices 
spoke  at  once. 

"  Yes,  mother,  yes,  father,  and  we  are 
rich,  see  !"  and  she  emptied  her  apron  on 
the  bed.  How  merrily  the  silver  and  gold 
coin  jingled.  It  was  like  the  echo  of  a 
harvest  song,  the  distant  echo  brought 
back  by  summer  breezes. 

"  Bless  you,  my  little  sunbeam, bless  you, 
my  angel."  And  two  hands  were  laid 
upon  her  head,  and  tears  and  smiles  were 

strangely  mixed  together.

"  What  docs  it  mean,  Theresa  ?"  and  the 
mother  looked  wonderingly  at  her  beauti- 
ful little  daughter  as  she  came  into  the 
parlor,  in  obedience  to  a  message  brought 
by  a  servant.  "Monsieur  B.  says  you 
promised  to  see  him  to-night." 

"  I  did,  mnmma.  Did  you  bring  your 
scissors,  sir  ?"  And  she  carried  a  footstool 
to  the  sofa,  upon  which  she  sat,  and  quick- 
ly nestled  at  his  feet. 

"  Yes,  my  dear,  see !"  and  he  took  from 
his  pocket  a  shining  pair. 

"  Theresa,  what  means  this  ?"  the  moth- 
er spoke  sternly. 

"  I  have  sold  my  hair  to  him,  mamma, 
and  he  has  come  to  cut  it  ofl"." 

"  Sold  your  hair — cut  it  off!  Were  you 
crazy?  Are  you  in  earnest?"  And  she 
gathered  her  to  her  side,  and  laid  her  hand 
protectingly     over    the    precious   curls. 

"Tell  her  how  it  was,  sir.  She  won't  be 
angry,  then.    Please  sir,  tell  her." 

He  did  so.  And  when  it  was  finished, 
she  covered  her  face  with  kisses,  and  said, 
in  a  broken  voice,  "  Of  such  is  the  king" 
dom  of  heaven !" 

A  single  ringlet  was  severed  from  the 
beautiful  head  that  night — one  long,  soft, 
golden  curl,  which  the  hair-dreeser  car- 
ried home  as  reverently  as  though  it  had 
come  from  an  angel's  wing.  On  the  mor- 
row he  had  it  woven  into  a  heart's-ease, 
and  the  sunny,  shining  human  flower  was 
ever  afterwards  worn  next  his  heart,  a  tal- 
isman against  besetting  sins. 

The    Preftidcnt  — Ntanton  — Ibh- 
peacliiuent. 


"  Anger  and  fury,"  says  Swift,  "  though 
they  add  strength  to  the  sinews  of  the 
body,  yet  are  found  to  relax  those  of  the 
mind,  and  to  render  all  its  ettorts  feeble 
and  impotent ;  " — a  remark  which  is  veri- 
fied in  the  preposterous  proceedings  into 
which  Congress  is  hurried  in  this  flood-tide 
of  its  rage.  Out  ot  the  lurid  atmosphere 
of  Washington,  intelligent  men  can  form 
but  one  estimate  of  the  attempt  to  depose 
the  President  of  the  United  States  for  so 
frivolous  a  reason  as  his  imwillingness  to 
be  on  a  confidential  footing  with  a  subor- 
dinate who  openly  insults  and  defies  him. 

Impeachment  is  the  extreme  medicine  of 
the  Constitution  to  be  used  on  great  and 
weighty  occasions  lor  the  cure  of  desper- 
ate aistempers.  The  President  is  no  more 
exempt  than  any  other  civil  officer  of  the 
Government ;  but  justice  and  the  public 
tranquility  require  that  he  should  not  be 
arraigned  except  for  some  serious  abuse  of 
power  which  endangers  the  general  safety. 
When  this  grave  process,  adapted  to  a 
great  exigency,  is  degraded  into  an  instru- 
ment of  party  malice  on  a  petty  occasion, 
the  honest  public  sentiment  of  the  country 
will  aeljudge  the  prosecutors  to  l>e  greater 
criminals  than  their  intended  victim. 

Who  will  pretend  that  the  safety  of  the 
Government  or  the  stability  of  our  insti- 
tutions is  Slaked  on  the  retention  of  Ed- 
win Stanton  as  Secretary  of  War?  By 
what  title  does  this  man  rank  as  the  indis- 
peusible  savior  of  his  country  ?  Never 
before  was  so  great  a  i[uarrcl  raifcod  on  so 
pitiful  a  question.  We  will  concede,  (fc)r 
the  sake  of  the  argument.)  that  the  lle- 
construcLion  acts  have  all  the  imijortance 
the  Republican  party  attaches  lo  ihem ; 
we  will  concede  that  to  thwart  and  fius- 
trate  the  de.-^ign  ot  those  acts  would  be  a 
"high  crime  and  misdemeanor"  for  which 
the  President  ought  to  be  impeached.  But 
even  oti  this  hypothesis  Congress  cannot 
justify  its  reckless  proceedings.  Stanton, 
in  tjic  position  he  has  cccupted  since  his 
restoration,  is  an  olhcer  without  authori- 
ty, transacting  only  such  routine  business 
as  moves  in  the  rut  of  established  prece- 
cedents.  The  General  of  the  army  had 
been  ordered  to  obey  cone  of  his  orders. 
The  President  held  no  t)liicial  intercourse 
with  him.  After  matters  had  passed  into 
this  condition,  and  a  Committee  of  Con- 
gress had,  alter  an  investigation, 
found  this  to  be  the  state  of  the 
tacts,  they  decided,  a  week  ago 
that  there  was  no  ground  for  impeach- 
ment. The  present  proceedings,  therefore, 
hinge  upon  the  ciuestion  whether  it  con- 
cerns the  public  safety  that  Slanton  shf.ll 
continue  to  discharge  the  routine  duties 
of  an  '.Executive  clerk.  What  a  pitch  of 
partisan  fury  and  infatuation  Congress 
muct  have  reached,  when  this  is  reckoned 
a  question  of  tremendous  interest !  In- 
trinsically, it  is  a  mere  personal  question 
relating  to  the  salary  and  minor  duties  of 
an  office.  Congress  is  about  to  impeach 
the  P/esident  m  the  personal  interest  of 
Edwin  M.  Stanton.  If  Stanton  had  the 
ordinary  sell- respect  of  a  gentleman  he 
would  have  resigned  immediately  on  his 
reinstatement.  General  Grant  and  Gen- 
eral Sherman  expressed  the  opinion  that 
it  was  his  duty  to  resign,  and  General 
Grant  offered  to  advise  him  to  that  efl'ect. 
General  Grant  siates,  in  one  of  his  letters 
lo  the  President,  that  he  visited  Stanton 
to  tender  this  promised  advice,  but  became 
satisfied  by  conversation  with  him,  that  it 
would  not  be  taken.  This  proves  that,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  highest  officers  of  the 
army,  the  public  interests  would  not  suf- 
fer by  the  displacement  of  Stanton,  It  is 
therefore  merely  a  question  whether  a 
contumacious  subordinate  of  the  President 
shall  be  kept  in  an  office  where  he  is  pow- 
erless, for  his  private  advantage.  And  on 
a  question  so  trivial,  this  recklefs  Congress 
is  ready  to  disorganize  the  Government 
and  convulse  the  counliy  ! 

That  the  public  interests  do  not  require 
this  revtdutionary  violence  is  perfectly  ob- 
vious. Even  assuming  the  Reconstruc- 
tion acts  to  be  valid,  and  founded  in  good 
policy,  it  is  clear  that  the  retention  or  dis- 
placement of  Stanton  can  have  no  efl'ect 
on  their  execution.  Stanton  can  neither 
aid  nor  obstruct  them  while  he  is  a  mere 
routine  clerk  denied  all  intercourse  with 
his  superior.  But  even  before  he  was  re- 
pelled from  the  pr>  .^^^w  u-J  confidence  of 
the  President,  he  c  •'J  '.♦  V"  no  important 
step  without  the  P.uaiutuww  direction,  nor 
decline  to  obey  his  orders.  Even  General 
Grant  was  powerless  in  that  position.  He 
tried  to  save  Sheridan,  but  had  to  succumb 
to  the  decision  of  the  President.  The  only 
function  of  the  President  under  the  Re- 
construction acts  is  the  selection  of  the 
district  commanders ;  and,  while  the  law 
'stands  unaltered,  no  Secretary  ot  War  can 
impede  him  in  the  exercise  of  that  duty. 

Stantim  may  pretend  that  he  keeps  the 
•office  to  prevent  the  appointment  of  a 
Wor^  man.  This  is  a  false  pretext  The 
Senate  is  in  scsi-ion,  and  likely  to  remain 
JQ  .«e&sii}n  until  the  whole  process  of  re- 
construction has  been  gone  through  with. 
The  fifst  thing'the  President  will  do  when 
Stanton  is  oul,'  will  be  to  send  to  the 
Senate  the  uomlnaliou  of  a  new  Secretary 
of  War.  'He  cannot  put  Into  the  office 
whoever  he  pleases,  hut  only  some  man 


who  has  the  confidence  of  the  Senate.  The 
pretence  ot  danger  from  Stanton's  possl-" 
Die  successor  is  absurd.  But  even  if  the 
President  could  appoint  whom  he  pleased, 
the  new  Secretary  would  exercise  no  dan- 
gerous power.  Before  the  Republicans 
felt  quite  sure  of  Stanton  (hey  guarded 
against  this  danger  in  advance  by  passing 
the  law  fixing  General  Grant's  head- 
quarter's  in  Washington,  and  requiring 
all  the  military  orders  of  the  President  to 
be  issued  through  him.  With  this  law  in 
force,  the  Republicans  have  a  double  guar- 
antee ;  first,  in  the  power  of  the  Senate  to 
reject  an  unfit  nomination,  and  secondly, 
in  the  necessity  lor  all  orders  to  pass 
through  the  hands  of  General  Grant,  whe 
is  fully  committed  to  the  Reconstruction 
scheme.  Congress  is  therefore  about  to 
impeach  the  President,  not  to  subserve  any 
public  interest  (even  as  they  understand 
the  public  interest)  but  to  espouse  a  per- 
sonal quarrel.  It  proposes  to  put  the 
President  out  of  office,  rather  than  that 
Edwin  M.  Stanton  should  not  enjoy  a 
vain-glorious  and  malignant  triumph  over 
the  highest  officer  ot  the  Government. 
The  crime  for  which  the  President  is  to 
be  ii.L  peached  consists  simply  in  the  exer- 
cise ot  a  right  which  has  been  enjoyed  by 
all  his  predecessors,  and  belongs  to  the  Ex- 
ecutive head  of  every  Government  in  the 
world.  This  right  is  called  in  question 
by  a  pretended  law,  which  is  in  such  fla- 
grant violation  of  the  Constitution,  as  well 
as  all  precedents,  that  this  same  Stanton, 
who  Is  a  lawyer  and  has  been  Attorney 
General,  advised  the  President  to  veto  it. 
And  now  the  President  is  to  be  impeached 
in  Stanton's  interest  because  he  believes 
the  law  to  be  unconstitutional,  and  insti- 
tutes proceedings  to  bring  it  to  a  judicial 
test  I  If  the  precedent  now  set  is  to  be 
followed,  it  will  be  in  the  power  of  any 
future  Congress  to  summarily  eject  any  fu- 
ture President.  Congress  has  merely  to 
pass  some  unconstitutional  law  which  re- 
verses the  whole  past  practice  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, and  when  the  President  takes 
the  first  steps  for  bringing  it  to  a  judici.il 
test,  forthwith  put  him  out  of  office  by  ar- 
ticles of  impeachment.  We  might  as 
well  abolish  the  farce  of  Presidential  elec- 
tions if  Congress  can  thus  unmake  elected 
Presidents  at  their  caprice.- iV.  Y.  'SVorU.

An  Important  DiHcorcry. 

This  is  indeed  an  age  of  progress. 
Science,  with  crucible  and  retort  in  hand, 
has  developed  another  invaluable  truth. 
Progression  seems  to  be  written  upon  all 
things  and  is  ever  pointing  us  to  the  great 
future  and  inciting  us  to  action  and  labori- 
ous research,  and  the  philosopher  and 
chemist  is  unceasing  in  his  eflorts  to  trace 
cause  to  ettect,  and  to  develop  and  bring 
to  light  great  truths  which  for  ages  have 
been  mysteriously  wrapped  in  obscurity. 

Before  us  is  a  treatise  on  Eggs  by  Dr. 
W.  C  Bruson,  a  practical  cheinist  of  Chi- 
cago, 111.  He  claims  that  eggs,  for  one-half 
cent  a  dozen,  may  be  kept  perfectly  fresh 
and  sweet  for  years.  His  mode  is  founded 
upon  a  new  theory,  the  electroizing  of  the 
organic  constituents  of  the  egg,^  with  a 
peculiar  combination  of  chemical  agents, 
thereby  suspending  the  embryotic  princi- 
ple and  relieving  the  germinating  heat, 
thus  preventing  organic  dissolution  with- 
out imparting  any  unpleasant  flavor,  or  in 
the  least  changing  the  natural  taste  of  the 
egg.  He  says  that  when  the  egg  first 
commences  to  decay,  the  albumen  is  the 
base  of  the  putrefactive  fermentations,  and 
subsequently  the  yolk  is  involved  in  the 
chemical  change  known  as  putrefaction. 
The  elements  of  a  fresh  egg  are  : 

Carbon 55  parts. 

N  Itrogen 10     " 

Oxygen 15     " 

Dydrogen 7     •' 

Sulphur 4     »• 

Phosphorus 3     " 

Which,  in  the  progress  of  organic  disso- 
lution, separate  from  each  other  and  com- 
bine again  as  follows  :  The  carbon  absorbs 
oxygen  and  forms  carbonic  acid  ;  one  por- 
tion of  the  hydrogen  forms  water  with  the 
oxygen;  another  part,  uniting  with  the  nt- 
trogen  composes  ammonia;  another  poition 
combines  with  the  carbon,  producing  car- 
buiated  hydrogen  eas,  and  the  remainder 
unites  with  the  phosphorus  and  sulphur, 
producing  phosphureted  and  sulphureted 
hydrogen  gases,  which  are  in  a  great 
measure  the  cause  of  the  fetor  (so  offensive 
to  the  sense  of  smell)  evolved  by  tlie 
breaking  of  a  perfectly  rotten  egc,  which 
18  justly  entitled  to  the  anpellation  of  igg 
ultimatum.

The  ]tlarylan<l  Ca!«e. 

We  do  not  wonder  that  the  refusal  of  the 
United  States  Senate  to  give  Philip 
Francis  Thomas  the  seat  in  that  boJy  to 
which  he  was  elected  by  the  Maryland 
Legislature  creates  considerable  iurtit'na- 
tion  in  the  last  named  body,  as  indeed  it 
mast  all  over  the  country.  Mr.  Thomas 
was  never  a  rebel,  and  he  was  wiUing  to 
take  the  Congressional  iron  clad  test-oath. 
Yet,  upon  the  miserable  pretence  that  he 
sympathized  with  the  rebellion,  the 
Senate  undertakes  to  deprive  the 
Slate  of  Maryland  of  her  chosen 
Represesentative.  Ti-c  reason  of  this 
is  simply  that  Maryland  is  a 
Democratic  State.  The  Representatives  of 
Kentucky  are  kept  out  of  their  seats  in  the 
House  for  the  same  reason,  just  as  Stock- 
ton, of  New  Jersey,  was  ousted  frtm  the 
Seuate,  and  just  as  many  othe-r  real  and 
true  representatives  of  the  people  have 
been  turned  or  kept  out  of  Congress  since 
the  Radical  parly  got  into  power. 

It  is  just  such  acts  as  that  wc  have 
named— acts  which  meet  the  disapproval 
of  men  like  Trumbull,  Fessenden,  Preling- 
huysen.  Grimes  and  Anthony,  who,  wiih 
four  other  Republicans,  voted  to  admit 
Mr.  Thomas— which  disgust  the  people 
with  Radicalism.  They  have  had  enough 
of  it. — Missouri  Republican. 

"Tiiehe's  Many  a  Slit  'Twixt  the 
Cup  axd  the  Lip." — Not  long  since  a 
young  M.  D.,  who  does  not  live  more  than 
a  thousand  miles  from  Liberty,  De  Knlb 
county,  was  engaged  to  be  married  lo  an 
excellent  young  lady  of  that  vicinity. 
"  The  course  of  true  love "  is  seems  ran 
smooth  enough  until  the  evening  set  for 
the  wedding.  All  the  relatives  and  fi  lends 
of  both  parties  were  at  the  house  of  the 
bride's  father — everybody  on  the  qui  vive, 
awaiting  anxiously  the  appearance  of  the 
bridegroom.  In  the  meantime,  the  groom, 
in  order  to  keep  from  being  nervous  and 
raise  "Dutch  courage,"  it  seems,  had  been 
"taking  something,"  and  when  the  hour 
for  the  ceremony  arrrived  he  steamed  up 
with  about  three  "  sheets  In  the  wind,"  and 
in  attempting  to  "tie  up"  to  a  chair, 
"heaved  anchor"  in  the  middle  of  the 
floor.  This,  very  properly,  disgusted  the 
lady,  and  she  then  and  there  told  him  that 
she  had  no  other  use  for  him,  and  the  mar- 
riage ceremony  should  not  take  place. 
The  young  doctor  was  put  to  bed,  and  she 
invited  her  friends  in  to  supper,  when  the 
remainder  of  the  evening  passed  off,  to  all 
appearances,  as  if  nothing  had  happened. 
The  now  penitent  M.  D.  has  made  several 
eflorts  to  "  fix  the  matter  up,"  we  under- 
stand, but  the  fair  and  noble  young  lady 
positively  refuses  to  have  anything  more 
to  do  with  him.— Sclnui  (Ma.)  Herald,

lizaiion  will  settle  it  in  a  few  years.  When

disconsolate  Saints  to  mourn  beside  de- 
serted hearthstones !

two  hundred  dollars  a  year.  HaUeck  oft- 
en used  to  joke  Mr.  Astor  about  his  ac- 
cumulating income,  and  perhaps  rather 
rashly  said  :  "  Mr.  Astor,  of  what  use  is 
all  your  money  to  you?  I  would  be  con- 
tent to  live  on  a  couple  of  hundred  a  year 
for  the  rest  of  my  life  if  I  was  only  sure  of 
it."  The  old  man  remembered  that,  and 
with  a  bitter  satire  reminded  Halleck  of 
it  in  his  wilL

at  Chester,  Mass.,  is  having  his  sepulcher 
hewn  in  a  large  rock  in  that  town.  He 
pays  a  man  $700  to  do  the  work,  and  by

long,  four  wide,  and  four  deep,  and  alter

Smith  says  he  doesn't  want  mud  to  get 
around  his  bones ;  he  means  to  have  a  good

fancy  of  his,  but  nobody  has  supposed  till 
lately  that  he  would  attempt  to  carry  it 
out 

— The  Louiflville  Journal,  speaking  of  the 
defalcation  of  Joseph  Bloomgart,  first  As- 
sistant Teller  in  the  United  Stotes  Survey- 
or's Office  in  that  city,  says :  "  It  is  no  less 
strange  than  true  that  every  dollar  of  the 
mgney  embezzled  ($12,200)",  and  all  that 
previousiy  lost  by  Bloomgart,  was  spent 
.  tot  lottery  tickets.   He  nerer  used  a  Jarth- 


in^  of  it  in  providing  for  his  wife  and 
children.  To  4his  purpose  he  always  de- 
voted his  salary  while  in  the  custom-house, 
and  a  prescribed  sum  while  merchandising. 
Nor  did  he  squander  any  of  the  money  up- 
on wine,  women  or  fast  horses,  as  a  cotem- 
porary  has  stated.  He  is  a  man  of  steady 
and  moral  habits,  and  no  one  is  more  at- 
tached to  his  family.  Altogether,  the  case 
is  unparalleled."

bodily  comfort  nor  mental  enjoyment. 

lictwecn  the  stomach  and  the  brain  there  Is  a 
close  and  wonderful  alliance.  If  the  one  Is  dis- 
ordered the  other  is  gloomy,  dejected,  incapable 
of  elfort,  and  indifferent  to  all  that  makes  life 
agreeable  to  tho  healthy. 

Is  this  a  condition  that  any  rational  human  be- 
ing is  willing  to  endure,  when  the  means  of  certain, 
immediate  and  permanent  relief  can  be  obtained 
everywhere  ? 

The  Dyspeptic  has  his  fate  Id  hie  own  hands. 
If  he  chooses  to  banish  forever  the  disorder  that 
racks  his  body  and  disturbs  the  mind  with  name- 
less horrors,  he  has  only  to  step  to  the  nearest 
drug  store  and  procure  a  supply  of  HOSTETTEB'S 
STOMACH  BI  rrERS. 

No  phase  of  Dyspepsia  has  ever  yet  resisted  the 
alterative,  tonic  and  anti-bilious  operation  of  this 
potent  vegetable  specific.  It  literally  regenerates 
the  lethargic  stomach  ;  rouses  into  healthy  action 
the  dormant  liver;  puts  to  flight  the  dipmal  fan- 
cies that  be'jet  the  mind:  gently  relieves  and 
regulati'S  the  bowels ;  stengthena  the  enfeebled 
nerves;  restores  the  appetite,  and  makes  as  It 
were  a  new  crbatukk  of  the  desponding  and  do- 
bliitatud  invalid. 

Ladies  who  suffer  from  indigestion  have  only  to 
take  a  small  dose  of  this  pure  vegetable  corrective, 
once  or  twice  a  day  to  secure  entire  exemption 
from  the  pains  and  penalties  of  a  weak  stomach 
aiid  tliat  perfect  functional  regularity,  which  but 
few  of  the  sex  uninterruptedly  enjoy.

For  the  benefit  of  our  readers  we  will  add 
that  Judge  Hawkins,  of  this  eountv,  has  a 
young  orchard  iu  bearing,  and  by  many 
years' experience  has  acquired  a  knowledge 
ol"  the  hardy  varictie.-j  of  apple  trees  that 
win  certainly  wiihsiand  our  climate  and 
thrive.  Any  one  intcn.iing  to  plant  fruii 
trees  would  do  well  to  consult  Judge  Hawk- 
ius  as  to  the  varieties. 


The  Anoka  Press  learns  that  the 
lumbering  interest  in  the  Valley  of  the 
Suake  and  Rum  rivers  is  prospering  this 
season.  One  company  have  banked  bOO,- 
000  feel  of  logs  rtai.y  to  come  down  when 
the  river  opens.

A   Public  Wrong  for  Private  Gain. 

By  the  terms  of  their  charter  the  Minne- 
sota   Valley    Railroad    were    required    to 
construct  tiieir  road  so  as  to  cross  therivtr 
at  St.   Peter.     The   public  convenience  of 
alt    of  Nrcolct  county,  IJrown    county,  and 
llenviilc  county,  imperatively  rcfiuircd  that 
the  road  should  cross  the  river  at  St.  Peter. 
The  whole  business  of  this  vast   region  for 
all  time  to  come,  must  be  at  the  inconveni- 
ence of  crossing  the  river    to    get   to    the 
railroad,  or    the    railroad    ntust  cross    the 
river  to  jjct  to  the   business.     But  it  would 
cost  money  to  build  a  bridge,  and  therefore 
our  ignoniimous  Lcgiftliture  Ir.ivo  rcicttsed 
the  Company  from  their  ob!ii,Mtion  to  cross 
the  river.     In    this  regard    the    St.    Peter 
Tribune  says,  and  how  true   the  saying  is: 
*•  All  le^L'islalion  seems  to  be  for  tliu  wealthy 
and    bigging    lew,  not   for  the  moss  of  the 

people."

Andreas    Rocsch   was   executed    at    St- 

Peter  ou  Friday  last  for  the  alleged  murder 

of    a  boy   about    sixteen  years   old.     The 

<jvidence  npon  which  be  was  cauvicted  was 

not  suiEcieut   to  establish  a   di-iputed    mer- 

<Aaul's  account  of  ton  dollars,  much  lesj  to 

take   the  life  of  a  human  being.     After  a 

4.aroful  perusal  of  the  evidence  upon  which 

he   was  convicted,    we  do   not  entertain  the 

slightest   doubt  of  Lis  innocenci-,  or  of  the 

guilt  of  another.     Had  the    trial  been  had 

at    some    place    free  fiom    the   excitement 

necessarily  produced  by  the  commission  of 

u  murder,   there  could  never  Iiavo   been  a 

^.-onviciion  upon  evidence  so  weak   and  un- 

reliaWe  as  that  of  a  half  idiotic  young  man 

who  testified  there   were  eight    days    in    a 

week,  G78  days  in  a  year,  and  that  the  sun 

rose  in  the  South.

Congressional  D  istrict  of  the  latter  .State. 
His  election,  I  nni  informed,  is  assured  by

be  extremely  gratifying  t*j  -all  liis  old

of  Mary  Glouke  against  Godtray  Glouke 
for  a  divorce  wliich  was  tried  by  the  Court 
.»i  the  last  term  was  decided  in  favor  of  the 
plaintiir,  .Mary  Glouke,  ou  the  ground  of

Hor  Cui.TVRK. — The  Minneapolis  Trib- 

ttne    says  :     "  A   hop    yard  is  better  than  a 

.^old  man.''     It  may  not  be:gcner.T.r.y  known 

that    the  attention  of  eastern  capitalists  is 

being    drawn    towards     Minnesota,    as    the 

■tooai    promising    field  for  the  investment  uf 

•capital  in    the    business    of    hop    growing. 

Our  State  is  believed  to  possess  advantages 

over  Michigan  and  Wisconsin,  and  farmers 

und   ethers   from   the  aforesaid  Suies    are 

already  making  arrangements  to  commence 

<he  cullivation  of  hops  in   this  Stivte,     Our 

farmers  should  not  be  behind  others,  but  be 

prepared    to  reap    the  bcnelit.;  of   this  kind 

of  busii'.css. 

— W.  F.  Walbridgo,  f.«rmcr1y  Sheriff  of 
nine  Earth  county,  was  fatally  injured 
while  chopping  wood,  by  a  tree  falling  on 
liiin.  It  is  an  often  repeated  story,  lie 
cut  a  tree  and  it  lodged  on  another  tree  ai.d 
lie  cut  this  and  the  first  fell  on  him  and 
trusbed  him.  He  was  taken  home  insensi- 
ble and  will  probably  not  recover. 

F:io7.KX  TO  l.KATii. — On  or  about  tlic 
24ib  ult.,  a  party  ot  live  or  six  soldiers 
vifcre  eaugiit  iu  a  heavy  storm  between 
Forts  Abercaoiabic  and  Wadsworth  and 
Irozen  to  death.  They  had  leM  tiie  mule 
team  and  driver  and  started  to  walk  into 
Fitrt  \Vadsworih  in  advance.  The  driver 
reached  the  Fort  in  the  midst  of  the  storm, 
but  nothing  has  .since  been  heard  uf  the 
■oldiers,  ai.d  it  is  believed  that  they  lost 
their  way  on  the  prairies,  and  perished  in 
the  deep  snow.— »5>'/.  Cloud  Juunial. 

IiEMAUKAr.i.K  Stokji. — Tbc  storiQ  of  Sun- 
«3av,  Feb.  23d  is  noted  by  our  state  ex- 
changes as  having  deposited  a  thin  crust  of 
hail  and  earth  over  the  larger  part,  of  Ihe 
tttate.  Where  the  earth  came  from  13  the 
uiyKtery,  though  it  was  probably  gathered 
by  a  wind  storm  a  thousand  miles  away  to 
the  southeast,  where  the  ground  is  bare. 

Max  KiU.ED. — ^I'hrce  men  were  at  work 
on  llic  track  between  Anoka  and  Manotnin, 
when  the  locomotive  and  snow  plow  came 
up.  Two  of  (he  men  stepped  from  the  track 
uafely,  but  the  third,  named  Lyon,  was 
caMi'at  by  the  snow  plow,  and  had  both 
Ieg.-r  and  one  arm  cut  oil",    kihing    LIm  in 


der  the  name  ot  beir/.cno,  benzidine,  g.i.-oHie 
etc.,  are   very  violate,  inflaiuable  and    duu- 
ceruus.     They,  however,  in  themselves,  aro 
not    explosive  j  neither  are  ihey  capable  uf 
ruiniahing  any  gas,  wlien  placed  iu  lamps, 
which  is  explosive.     Accidents    of   tiiis  iia- 
tirc  are  due    entirely    to  tin;  facility    with 
which    vapor  is  ju'otluced  from  them  at  !ov/ 
tempera'.uies.     liut    the    vapor    by  it.seif  is 
inexplusive;  to    render    it  so,    it    must    be 
mixed  wiih  air.     A  l.inip  may  be  filled  v,iih 
Ue-tosene,  or  with  ihe  viijureven,  and  in  no 
[Kissible  way   can    it    dclunale,  or  explode, 
unless    almo.sjjhurie   air    has  got  s-^nivwhal 
mixed  with  vapor.     A  lamp,  therefore,  lull, 
or  nearly    full,    of   the    liijuid    is  safe;  and 
also   oi.c  full  of  pure  warm  vapor  is  safe. —

How  to  tell  Brd  Kcroaeno  Oil- 

The  fiuc.-;.tion  will  ojfi.'iehow  to  di'iinguisu 
the  good  jio«i  the  bad,  the  sale  from  the 
dangerous?  A  very  snni-lu  and  sure  way 
is  to  half-till  a  saucer  with  hot  .water,  say 
110  lo  II  j  degrees  by  the  lhermui.ict«r ; 
pour  into  the  ^vater  one  or  Iwo  siioon.jfall  ni 
the  oil  to  be  tested,  hold  a  lighted  match  a 
few  inches  above  and  gradually  lower  it  tu 
the  oil.  It'  l!ic  vapor  or  gas  from  the  oil 
Hashes,  and  the  oil  iir.ally  ignites  and  burns, 
it  must  be  rejected  ad  bad  ;  and  if  il  is 
poured  into  the  lamp  when  burning,  or 
such  Ktulf  is  used  to  start  the  .stove  fire 
u'lt'i,  and  a  "kerosene  accident''  is  the 
re.salt,  don't  blame  any  one  but  your.self. — 
If,  however,  the  match  can  finally  be  Itd't  in 
the  oil  to  barn  out  without  igniting  the  oil, 
it  inny  be  considered  "  non-e::plosivo." 
Tuo  remed}*  against  imposition  is  in  the 
hands  of  the  people;  let  every  consumer 
demand  of  his  merchant  the  ntsT  oil.— not

The  report  that  Gen.  Hancock  has  asked

were  present  except  Mr.  Grier.  Judge 
Black  opened  the  case,  and  concluded  his 
argument  on  the  morning  of  the  3d.  He 
was  followed  by  Hon.  Matt.  H.  Carpenter, 
of  Wisconsin.  On  the  6lh,  the  case  was 
postponed  to  the  9th. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  vote  ad- 
ministered to  Chief  Justice  Chase,  and  by 
him  to  the  Senators,  in  opening  the  Im- 
peachment Court : 

"  I  do  solemnly  swear  that  in  all  things 
appertaining  t)  the  trial  of  Impeachment 
of  Andrew  Johnson,  President  of  the 
United  States,  now  pending,  I  will  do  im- 

Earlial  justice  to  the  Constitution  and  the 
iws.    So  help  me,  God." 
The  articles  of  impeachment  reported 
to  the  House  on  the  29th  ult.  are  in  sub- 
stance as  follows:    Article  first  declares 
that  the  President  had  violated  the  Con- 
stitution by  making  a  removal  from  office 
while  the  Senate  is  in  session.    Article  2 
— That  he  made  this  removal  contrary  to 
the  Tenure-of-Offlce  act.    Article  3— That 
he  had  appointed  General  Thomas  as  Sec- 
retary of  War  while  there  was  another  le- 
gal Secretary.     Article  4— That  he  had 
conspired  with  Lorenzo  Thomas  to  obtain 
postssion  of  the  War  Office   by   military 
force.    Article  5— That  he  had  conspired 
with  or  endeavored  to  get  officers  of  the 
army  to  destroy  the  laws  of  his  country 
and  enter  into  a  conspiracy  to  get  the  legal 
Secretary  of  War  out  of  office.    Article 
6— That  he  had  unlawfully  conspired  with 
Lorenzo  Thomas  by  force  to  seize,  take, 
and  possess  the  property  of  the  United 
States  in  the  War  Department.    Article  7 
—That  he  had  unlawfully  conspired  with 
Lorenzo  Thomas   to  prevent  and  hinder 
the  execution  of  the  Tcnure-of- Office  law. 
Article  8— That  he  had  unlawfully  con- 
spired with  one  Lorenzo  Thomas,  to  seize, 
tako,  and    possess   the   property  of  the 
United    States  in  the  War  Department, 
with  the  intent  to  violate  and  disregard 
the  Tenure-of  Office  law.    Article  9— That 
he   had     unlawfully  appointed  Lorenzo 
Thomas  Secretary  of  War  ad  interim,  with 
intent  vmlawfully  to  control  the  disburse- 
ments   of    moneys  appropriated  for  the 
military  service  and  for  the  Department  of 
War.    Article  10— That  he  had,  as  Com- 
mander in  Chief   of    the    United    States 
Army,  declared  to  and  instructed  Major 
General  Emory  that  a   part   of  an   act 
passed  by  Congress  was  unconstitutional 
and  not  binding  on  him  as  an  officer  in 
said  army,  with  intent  thereby  to  induce 
said  Emory  in  his  official  capacity  as  com- 
mander of  the  Department  of  Washingtcn 
to  violate  the  provisions  of  said  act  and 
to  take  and   receive,  act  upon  and  obey, 
such  orders  as  he,  the  said  Andrew  John- 
son,   might  make  and  give,  and  which 
should  not  be  issued  through  the  General 
of  the  Army  of  the  United  Slates,  accord- 
ing to  the  provisions  of  said  act. 

The  rules  to  govern  the  Senate  during 
the    impeachment  trial  provide,   among 
other  things,  that  the  hour  of  day  at  which 
the  Senate  shall  sit  as  a  High  Court  of 
Impeachment  shall  be,  unless  otherwise  or- 
dered, 12  o'clock  noon ;  witnesses  shall  be 
examined  by  one  person  on  behalf  of  the 
party  producing  them,  and  then  cross-ex- 
amined by  one  person  on  the  other  side ; 
at  all  times  while  the  Senate  is  siltint;  up- 
on the  trial  of  impeachment,  the  doors  of 
the  Senate  shall  be  kept  open,  unless  the 
Court  shall  direct  the  doors  to  be  closed, 
while  deliberating  upon  the  decisions  ;  all 
preliminary  or  interlocutory  question?,  and 
all  questions,  shall  be  argued  by  one  per- 
son only  on  each  side,  and  f  )r  not  exceeding 
one  hour  on  each  side,  unless  the  Court  by 
order  extend  the  time ;  the  final  argument 
of  merits  may  be  made  by  two  persons 
on  each  side,  unless  otherwise  ordered  by 
the  Court,  on  application  for  that  purpose, 
and  the  argument  shall  be  opened  and 
closed  on  the  part  of  the  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives ;  on  the  final  question,  wheth- 
er impeachment  is  sustained,  the  ayes  and 
nays  shall  be  taken  on  each  article  of  im- 
peachment  separately.    If   the  impeach- 
ment shall  not  be  sustained  by  a  vote  of 
two-thirds  of  said  Senators  present,  a  judg- 
ment of  acquittal  shall  be  rendered  ;  but 
if  the  person  accused  in  such  articles  of 
impeachment  shall  be  convicted  by  a  vote 
of  two-thirds  of  the  members  of  the  court 
present,  the  Court  shall  proceed  to  ascer 
tain  what  judgment  shall  be  rendered  in 
the  case,  which,  having  been  ascertained, 
shall  be  pronounced.

troduction of  a  bill  to  rebuild  •ho  levees  on  the 
cast  bank  of  the  Mississippi  river  and  reclaim  the

Um.  announced  that  the  morning  hour  having  ex- 
pired, all  legislative  and  executive  business  would 
cease  for  the  purpose  of  proceeding  to  the  busi- 
ness of  impeiithment.  Chief  Justice  Ctase,  ac- 
companied by  Senator  Pomeroy,  Judge  Nelson, 
and  others,  then  advanced  to  the  President's  chair, 
and  said  that  he  appeared  to  join  with  the  Senators 
in  forming  a  Court  of  Impeachment  lor  the  trial  of 
Andrew  Johnson.  President  ot  the  United  States. 
The  oath  was  then  administered  to  him  by  Judge 
Nelson.  The  Chief  Justice  then  requested  Ihe 
Senators,  as  their  names  were  called,  to  step  for 
ward  and  take  the  oath.  When  Mr.  Wade's  name 
was  called.  Senator  Hendricks  rose  and  put  the 
question  to  the  prcsUlisg  oflicer,  whether  the  Sen- 
ator from  Ohio,  being  the  person  who  would  suc- 
ceed to  the  Presidency,  was  entitled  to  stt  as  a 
Judge  In  the  case?  Mr.  Sherman  replied  that 
the  Constitution  itself  svttlwd  the  question. 
It  provides  that  the  presiding  officer  should 
not  preside,  but  being  silent  as  to 
right  to  be  a  member  of  the  Court,  it  fi 
lowed,  by  implication,  that  he  had  the  right. 
The  question  wa«  further  arjued  by  Messrs.  Davis, 
Hendricks  and  Bayard,  against  Mr.  Wade's  right 
to  sit  as  a  member,  and  by  Messrs.  Morrill  (Me.), 
Williams,  Howard,  Morton,  Sumner,  Sherman, 
Drake,  Thayer  and  Howe,  in  favor  thereof,  the 
Republican  Senators  taking  the  ground  that  there 
was  no  person  authorized  to  make  objections  but 
the  party  on  trial.  After  some  further  debate  the 
Court  of  Impcachm-nt  afij.iurned  till  one  o'clock

tion offered  by  Mr.  Heii'liicks,  objecting  to  the 
swearing  in  of  S.-nator  Wade.  After  debat-,  Mr. 
Hendricks  withdrew  his  obj.  ct^on,  and  Mr.  Wade 

was  sworn  in The  Chief  Justice  suggested  that 

tho  rules  adopted  by  the  Senate  la  its  Iccislaiive 
capacity  are  no  rules  for  the  govtrnment  of  the 
Senate  sitting  for  trial  of  an  impeactiment,  nnless 
adopted  by  that  body.  The  rules  wen;  formally 
adopted,  and  notification  was  sent  to  the  House, 
and  Its  Managers  soon  appeared  and  demanded 
that  the  Court  should  take  cognizance  as  to  the 
appearance  of  Andrew  Johnson  to  answer  ques- 
tions of  impeachment.  The  order  was  made  and 
the  writ  dr  iwn  up,  being  made  rclurnnble  on  Fri-

over  last  fall. 

A  meeting  was  held  at  Front  street 

Theatre,  Baltimore,  on  the  4th,  to  sustain 
President  Johnson.  The  building  was 
densely  packed.  Mayor  Banks  presided, 
assisted  by  over  one  hundred  Vice  Presi- 
dents. The  meeting  was  addressed  by 
Governor  Swann,  Hon.  L.  W.  Roes,  of 
Illinois;  Hon.  Mr.  Kerr,  of  Indiana;

In  reply  to  the  statement  of  a  friend 

recently  conversing  with  him,  Fred.  Doug- 
lass said,  very  clearly  and  pointedly,  that 
slavery  was  destroyed  not  from  principle, 
but  from  policy;  and  that  all  that  the 
negroes  have  to  be  grateful  for  is  the 
emergency  that  created  the  necessity  of 
freeing  them.  Fr«d.  Douglass  is  a  man  in 
whom  the  blacks  can  repose  the  utmost 
confidence,  if  they  can  in  any  one.  What 
he  clearly  meant  in  making  the  above 
assertion  was  not  in  reference  to  the  past, 
to  slavery,  or  to  the  emancipation,  which 
is  a  fait  accompli,  but  in  reference  to  the 
future,  that,  when  the  Radical  party  shall 
have  used  the  negro  to  their  hearts'  con- 
tent, it  will  allow  them,  in  the  elegant 
language  of  Horace  Greeley,  "  to  root, 
hog,  or  die." 

A  correspondent  of  the  New  York 

W(nld  asks :  "  What  course  would  have 
been  open  for  the  President  in  order  to 
test  the  constitutionality  of  the  Tenure-of- 
Offlce  bill  but  the  removal  of  some  civil 
officer  appointed  with  the  consent  of  the 


Senate ' 


The    World   answers : 


Our 


his 


correspondent  touches  the  point  sharply. 
The  Teuureof-Offi^e  bill  was  a  clear  viola 
tion  of  the  Constitution,  a  clear  usurpa- 
tion of  Executive  power,  a  clear  reversal 
of  the  uniform  practice  of  every  adminis- 
tration since  Washington's.  In  no  other 
possible  way  save  by  the  exercise  of  the 
power  usurped — in  no  other  way  save  by 
the  explicit  removal  of  a  civil  oflicer,  and 
not  merely  by  the  removal  implied  in  a 
new  appointment,  could  the  Pre&ident 
have  preserved,  protected,  and  defended 
the  Constitution  as  he  is  sworn  to  do,  could 
he  have  invited  the  confirmation  of  the 
Judiciary  to  the  view  which  he  was  enti- 
tled alone  to  take  and  alone  to  maintain. 
In  no  other  way  could  the  Judiciary  have 
been  brought  to  a  re-iaflirmation  of  the 
President's  indivisible  and  unshared  right 
of  removal."

says  ;  "  The  friends  of  the  President  argue 
that  the  trial  will  not  be  finished  during 
the  next  four  or  five  months." 

A  Washington  special  of  the  6ih 

says :  "  A  double  guard  is  still  kept 
around  the  War  Department,  though  for 
what  reason  is  unknown.  Mr.  Stanton 
Btill  continues  to  remain  in  his  room  night 
and  day.  There  were  no  visitors  calling 
upon  him  to-day." 

One  of  Senator  Hendrick's  objects 

in  opposing  the  admission  of  Mr.  Wade  as 
one  of  the  Impeachment  Court  was  to  at- 
tract the  attention  of  the  country  to  the 
subject.  Having  accomplished  this,  he 
withdrew  his  objection  on  the  Gth,  and  Mr. 
Wade  was  allowed  to  become  one  of  the 
jurors  in  the  trial. 

The  following  dialogue  took  place  in 

Richmond  a  few  days  ago  between  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Virginia  Convention  and  one  of 
the  sable  recipients  of  Mr.  Hambrock's 
bounty  :  Member—"  Well,  Sam,  have  you 
a  soup  ticket  ?"  Sam—"  Yes,  ear,  two  un 
'em."  Member— "Is  the  soup  good?" 
Sam — "  Dunuo,  sar ;   we  feed  it  to  our 

•pig." 

A  good  story  is  told  of  a  brave  sol- 
dier in  one  of  tbe  Illinois  regiments,  who 
having  been  detailed  to  act  as  boss  team- 
ster at  soldier's  pay  ($1G  per  month),  found 
himself  at  the  head  of  about  twenty  con- 
trabands, all  of  whom  received  $'25  per 
month  as  teamsters.  Whereupon  he  made 
application  to  his  commanding  officer  to 
be  appointed  a  nigger  by  brevet,  and  to  be 
assigned  to  duty  in  accordance  with  his 
brevet  rank. 

In    Pennsylvania,   the   Democrats 

hare  carried  the  Borough  of  Holidaysburg, 
by  a  majority  of  G5— a  gain  of  40.  The

The  above  shows  that  the  Radicals  have 
a  majority  of  33.  The  question  presents 
ilself,  will  all  the  Radicals  vote  lor  con- 
viction of  the  President  on  charges  made 
by  the  impeachers?  A  two  thirds  vote  is 
required  to  convict.  That  would  require 
thirty-six  votes,  or  seven  less  than  the 
full  number  of  Radictls  in  the  Senate, 
showing  abundant  ability  to  convict  and 
remove  the  President  if  mere  partisan 
Radicalism  is  the  only  element  to  be  con- 
sidered in  (Ptimaticg  prcibabililies.  But 
Messrs.  William?,  Trumbull,  Sherman, 
Howe,  and  Fesscndeu,  arc  already  on 
record  as  vigorous  opponents  of  the  pro- 
vision of  the  Tenure-of  Office  bill  upon 
wnich  the  President  is  arraigned.  They 
resisted  it  to  the  la.«t,  {and  only  when  it 
was  apparent  that  the  Tenure  otOffice  bill 
as  a  whole  would  be  lost  if  the  provision 
in  question  was  not  maintained,  they  voted 
for  it,  yet  explaining  that  it  did  not  and 
could  not  trammel  the  President,  and  all 
of  them  insisting  that  the  measure  was  a 
departure  from  the  established  wise  usage, 
and  unconstitutional.  There  is  not  a 
lawyer  in  the  Senate  who  does  not  know 
that  the  provision  in  question  is  null  and 
void,  and  that  no  misdemeanor  has  been 
committed  in  disregarding  it.  >Ve  are 
now  inclined  to  believe  tLat  a  two-thirds 
vote  cannot  be  got  to  condemn  the  Preti- 
dent.— J/mouri  Republican,  2d. 


Democratic  CSaln*. 

The  local  elections  in  towns  which  voted 
in  February  have  exhibited  the  Democra- 
cy still  pushing  forward  and  winning  ad- 
ditional victories.  A  day  or  two  since  we 
directed  attention  to  certain  elections  in 
New  York  State,  where  the  Democrats, 
defeated  for  fifteen  years,  achieved  sub- 
stantial triumphs.  We  have  before  us 
a  table  of  February  elections  in  four 
counties  in  New  York,  which  shows  the 
tide  of  success  which  set  in  so  strong  last 
November  still  running  full  and  strong, 
carrying  the  Democracy  still  further  for- 
ward within  the  enemy's  lines.  In  Otsego, 
Delaware  and  Herkimer  counties  and  in 
eleven  towns  in  other  counties  from  which 
returns  have  come  in,  fifty-two  towns  in 
all,  the  results  show  the  Radicals  most 
severely  handled.  In  18C0  those  towns 
gave  a  Radical  majority,  of  3,111.  In 
November,  1867,  the  Democracy  wiped 
out  that  majority,  and  scored  77  to  their 
own  side.  Last  month,  in  the  elections  in 
those  same  towns,  the  Democratic  majority 
was  increased  from  77  to  C91.  Similar 
gains  throughout  the  State  would  add  20,- 
000  to  the  enormous  Democratic  majority 
of  November  ]aSI.— Missouri  Republican. 

—Evening  schools  in  New  York  have 
been  successful  the  past  season.  The  at- 
tendance has  been  unusually  large.  The 
fortnightly  average  has  been  2.G38  females, 
and  3,923  males— being  an  increase  over 
the  corresponding  period  of  the  preceding 
year  of  1,275.  The  adult  population  were 
found  to  avail  themselves  largely  of  the 
advantages  offered,  and  the  attendance  at 
the  colored  schools  had  become  doubled

when  it  was  as  much  expected  in  the  an- 
nual synod  that  the  members  would  be 
supplied  with  mugs  of  beer  and  pipes  of 
tobacco,  as  it  was  that  the  clerk  should 
appear  with  his  documents.

— A  Mr.  Garland,  of  Winslow,  Me.,  a

nicely  painted  and  varnished  that  the  back 
of  it  reflected  like  a  mirror.  It  was  put  irj

— A  good  place  to  keep  friction  mfitches 
in,  if  you  would  have  your  house  burned 
by  them,  is  a  bureau  drawer,  in  which  are 
nice  muslinp,  laces,  ribbons,  and  cotton 
garments.  The  opening  and  shutting  of 
the  drawer  is  quite  sure,  in  time,  to  ignite 
the  combustible  things  and  give  you  a  good

and  cheerless  night  in  a  perilous  situation, 
liable  at  any  moment  to  be  crushed  by 
the  miniature  ice-bcrgs  surrounding  them. 
In  the  morning,  although  almost  paralyzed 
with  the  cold,  and  with  portions  of  their 
bodies  frozen,  they  managed  to  scramble 
over  the  ice  to  the  shore,  and  their  lives 
were  saved. 

— A  terrible  tragedy  has  occurred  in 
Cftlilornia.  A  gentleman  made  a  lady  a 
present  of  a  pair  of  pistols,  and  after  sev- 
eral trials  of  skill  they  concluded  to  go 
through  the  form  of  a  duel.  They  took 
their  positions,  fired  at  the  word,  and,  to 
the  terror  of  the  lady,  the  gentleman  fell. 
She  threw  herself  frantically  upon  the 
corpse,  embracing  and  kissing  it  with  every 
emotion  of  endearment.  Under  such 
magical  influence  the  gentleman  revived, 
and  rose  unhurt  from  the  ground,  and — 
and— they  are  to  be  married. 

—A  few  days  since  a  rather  rough  ap-

There  is  no  doubt  about  it,  the  country 
is  again  runnin;;;  into  the  old  way  of  doing 
business.  The  credit  system  has  been 
slowly  creeping  upon  us  ever  aince  the 
close  of  the  war.  Manufacturers  and  im- 
porters have  had  large  stocks  on  hand 
that  they  have  been  obliged  to  force  upon 
the  wholecale  dealer-s  upon  time.  The 
wholesale  dealers,  have,  in  their  turn,  used 
every  means  to  get  their  goods  into  the 
hands  of  the  country  merchants  and  city 
retail  dealers.  The  country  is  flooded  with 
"ruwneis,"  or,  as  they  are  generally 
known  in  the  West,  "guerrillas,"  fiom 
leading  commercial  houses,  who  vie  with 
each  other  in  oflering  the  easiest  terms  to 
dealers.  Now  the  retail  dealer  buying 
upon  long  lime,  and  often  more  stock  ih nil 
he  otherwise  would,  is  ready  to  urge  his 
customers,  the  consumers,  to  take  goods  at 
thirty,  sixt}',  ninety  days  or  a  year,  accord- 
ing to  what  he  considers  the  ability  cf  the 
purchaser  to  pay.  The  coubutner  is  thus 
tempted  to  take  more  than  he  would  if  he 
saw  his  purse  growing  emiUy  before  his 
eyes,  and  before  he  knows  it,  he  has  con- 
tracted a  bill  that  will  astonish  him  when 
the  day  of  settlement  arrives.  It  is  a  fail- 
ing that  most  men  have,  to  be  deluded  by 
a  dim  vision  of  a  distant  pay  day. 

It  is  a  convenient  thing  to  h:ive  credit  at 
the  store,  the  blacksmith  and  the  shoemak- 
er shops,  and  it  is  rather  flittering  to  a 
man's  pride  withal,  especially  to  a  man  oi 
rather  small  means.  Now  all  these  things 
going  on  for  three  or  four  years,  hivc 
again  got  the  credit  system  drawn  like  a 
net  work  about  almost  all  cla.?sos  of  busi- 
ness, and  its  ramiiicitions  have  at  the  least, 
reiched  eve rj  body  but  the  farmers,  and 
we  fear  in  two  mnny  cases  they,  too,  have 
been  reacheil  by  them. 

We  have  but  a  few  words  to  say  to 
farmers  on  this  subject  of  getting  into 
debt.  It  is  a  habit  most  troublesome  and 
full  of  vexation  and  ruin.  Pay  day,  tax 
day,  and  death,  are  said  to  be  Jibuut  the 
<mly  things  that  people  are  sure  of  in  this 
world.  Tbe  latter  is  the  only  debt  that  all 
arc  surely  able  to  pay  at  the  arpoiulcd 
time.  But  the  calls  lor  store  debts  and 
laxes,  come  just  as  uufailiagly,  mverthe- 
less.  The  only  sure  way  to  avoid  them  i.s 
to  pay  as  you  go.  There  is  really  little 
need  for  most  faimers, at  the  pnsiut lime, 
to  get  into  extravagant  ludebttdness. 
Crops  have  beengocd  and  prices  rcmuntr- 
alivc  and  where  Inigahly  h:is  reiRntd 
there  should  be  plenty  to  pay  as  things 
are  wanted.  If  a  man  is  out  of  debt,  he 
has  about  as  near  a  heavenly  sunounding 
as  he  can  expect  in  this  worll.  Farmera, 
don't  get  into  the  habit  of  "  getting  trust 
ed  !  "  It  is  worse  than  the  usu  of  tobact'i 
and  almost  as  bad  as  inUimpciance  ilself.

that  is  good.  You  see  I  bad  some  of  your 
bills,  and  the  other  day  I  oflfred  them  at 
the  Sandy  River  Bank,  and  they  didn't 
want  them ;  but  said  you  would  take  them ; 
so  here  they  are."  The  cashier  counted 
Ihe  bills,  about  $100.  He  then  inquired, 
"How  long  have  you  had  these  bills?" 
"  It's  about  six  years."  "  How  happened 
you  to  keep  them  so  long  ?  "  "  Weil,  you 
see,  I  had  only  one  child,  a  girl  fifteen  and

away  into  an  old  box,  and  there  it  has 
been."  The  lump  came  to  his  throat  and

and  bronzed  cheeks  as  he  turned  aside, 
in  memory  of  the  child,  for  whom  the 
money  had  been  saved.  —Augusta  {Me,)

Je 
And 


The  door  'was  locked  when  I  got  home, 
Baid  Tom,  and  how  to  get  in  without  wak- 
irg  the   governor  was  the   difficulty.    I 
knew  he  v,ould  give  me  particular  tits  if 
he  knew  I  was  out  after  ten,  and  the  clock 
had  just  struck  one.    The  back  yard  was 
an  impossibility,  and  but  one  chance  re- 
mained.   There  was  a  porch  over  the  front 
door,  the  roof  of  which  was  a  few  feet  be- 
low two  windows.    One  of  them  I  knew 
to  be  fastened  down,  and  the  other  opened 
from  a  bedroom,  which  might  or  might  not 
be  occupied.    An  old  maiden  sister  of  the 
governor's  wife  arrived  on  the  same  day, 
and  it  was  very  probable  that  she  was  in 
that  room ;  but  1  knew  the  bed  was  in  the 
corner    furthermost    from   the    window, 
and  I  hoped  to  be  able  to  get   in  and 
through    the    room    without   awakening 
her,  and  then  I  had  a  comparatively  easy 
time  of  it.    So,  getting  a  plank  from  the 
neighboring  board  pile,  I  rested  it  against 
the  caves  of  the  shed,  pulled  oil  my  .shoes, 
put  them  in  my  pf)cket,  and  "cooned." 
AU  right  so  far,  but  I  thought  it  ncccs«ary, 
in  order  not  to  arouse  suspicion  in  the 
morning,  to  remove  the  plank ;  so,  drag- 
ging it  up,  I  threw  it  oil  the  end,  and  down 
it  weni  with  an  awful  clatter  on  a  stray 
dog  that  had   followed  me  two  or  three 
Equaree,  and  who  immediately  set  up  the 
most   awfal  whine   a   hound  ever  gave 
tongue  to.    That  started  half  a  dozen  dcgs 
in  tho    n*.iglkl»o^il«J^xi  barkiug;  a  mocking 
bird  in  the  window  above  commenced  as 
it  he  intended  to  split  his  throat  at  it, 
and  a  woman  in    her  night  clothes  ap- 
peared at  the  window  across  the  street. 
I    knew    I    was     safe    as    far    as    she 
was  concerned,  but  if  any  one  came  to 
our  window  the  candle  gave  light  enough 
to  have  discovered  me.  Nobody  came,  how- 
ever, and  the  lady,  after  peering  up  and 
down    the  street  for   a  minute   or   two, 
popped  in  her    head  and  retired.    The 
mocking  bird  still  kept  up  his  eternal  whis- 
tle, and  it  was  fully  half  an  hour  before  he 
and  the  dog  settled  down  and  gave  me  a 
chance  to  move.    Creeping  slowly  along 
the  wall  till  I  reached  the  window,  1  put 
my  hands  on  tha  sill,  sprang  m,  and  with 
my  legs  dangling  out,  stopped  to  listen. 
Yes,  she  was  in  the  room,  tor  1  was  sure 
1  could  hear  breathing.    After  waiting  lor 
a  miLUte  1  cautiously  drew  up  one  leg,  and 
then  the  other,  drew  them  around,  and  put- 
ting them  down  on  the  tloor,  was  just  con- 
scious that  I  had  stepped  on  something 
soil  and  yielding,  and  was  withdrawing 
them  when  another  yell  broke  forth  at  my 
feet ;  the  old  maid  jumped  from  her  bed 
cryiiig  "  murder !"    And  the  mockingbird 
started  again.    A  little  darkey  was  lying 
on  her  hack  under  the  window,  and  1  had 
stepped  oil  her  face  and  of  course  woke 
her  up.    I  decided  in   a  moment  what  to 
•do.    The  house  would  be  aroused,  and  I 
would  be  caught  to  a  certainty  unless  I 
could  get  to  my  room  before  the  governor 
was  up  ;  but  I  hadn't  a  moment  to  lose,  for 
the   little   nigger  was   screaming;    so  I 
stiirted  for  the  door  in  three  steps,  struck 
a  chair,  stumbled  over  it  of  course,  mak- 
ing the  awfulest  racket  you  ever  heard  In 
the  hours  of  night  in  a  peaceful  house. 
The  nigger  and  the  old  maid  screamed 
louder  than  ever;  the  mocking  bird  whis- 
tled louder  than  a  steam  whistle,  and  they 
fairly  made  a  chorus  as  loud  as  Julian's. 

1  reached  the  door,  however,  and  quietly 
and  swiftly  opened  it,  and  just  got  into  the 
hall  iu  time  to  see  the  old  gentleman  open 
the  door,  with  a  candle  in  his  hand,  and 
come  hurrying  up  the  stairs.  There  was 
a  wardrobe  near  where  1  stood,  and  I 
sprang  behind  it.  Up  came  the  governor, 
reached  the  door,  opened  it,  and  went  in, 
and  in  the  meantime  there  were  all  sorts 
of  contusion  and  inquiry  down  stairs  as  to 
what  was  the  matter.  Nobody  else  came 
up,  though  from  where  I  stood  I  heard 
every  word  of  inquiry  and  explanation  in 
the  room.  Of  course  they  could  not  make 
much  of  it.  The  little  darkey  was  too 
much  frightened  and  too  sound  asleep  at 
the  time  to  tell  the  truth,  and  the  upshot 
of  the  business  was  that  they  concluded 
that  she  had  been  dreaming,  and  the  gov- 
ernor, after  giving  her  a  sound  shaking  and 
explaining  the  matter  to  the  aroused  neigh- 
bors from  the  window,  went  back  to  his 
own  room  again. 

"  So  lar  so  good."  I  now  had  to  go  down 
stairs,  reach  the  back  door,  unbar  it,  get 
into  the  yard,  make  for  my  room,  which 
was  in  the  second  eiory  of  the  brick  build- 
ing that  stood  connected  with,  and  about  a 
dozen  yards  from,  the  main  one.  Afler 
giving  everybody  another  half  hour  to 
settle  down  again,  1  started. 

Boys,  did  you  ever  try  to  go  up  or  down 
a  pair  of  stairs  at  midnight  without  making 
a  noise?  You  may  try  it  all  sorts  of  ways, 
but  every  step  is  sure  to  creak,  each  with 
a  peculiar  noise  of  its  own,  and  loud 
enough,  you  think,  to  awake  everybody. 
I  had  got  nearly  to  the  bottom  when  a 
little  dog  came  trotting  up  tho  entry  to- 
ward me,  yelling  furiously.  A  suppressed 
«•  come  here,  Zip !  "  silenced  him,  for  he 
recognized  me  ;  but  the  little  fellow  started 
the  mocking  bird,  and  all  the  dogs  in  the 
neighborhood,  having  learned  to  take  the 
cue,  of  course,  joined  the  chorus  for  a 
third  time. 

I  ran  along  the  passage,  reached  the 
door,  and  unlocked  it  just  as  the  governor, 
aroused  the  second  time,  opened  his  door, 
and  seeing  a  man  coming  from  the  house 
by  the  t>ackway,  of  course  cried  "  Thieves ! 
thieves!"  and  made  a  rush  after  me.  I 
was  too  quick  for  him  though,  opened  the 
door,  sprang  oat,  made  for  the  door  that 


opened  into  a  room  below  mine,  and  had 
just  reached  it,  when  crash !  within  a  foot 
of  my  head  went  a  brick,  and  a  voice  that 
I  knew  belonged  to  the  next  door  neigh- 
bor, Tomkins,  joined  the  governor  in  the 
cry  of  "  Tincves !  thieves !  murder !  mur- 
der ! "  I  was  safe,  though. 

Ruuuing  up  stairs  1  "shelled"  myself 
quicker  than  1  ever  did  before  or  since, 
and  was  in  bed  sound  asleep  in  half  a 
minute. 

Wasn't  there  a  row,  though  ?  I  never 
heard  so  many  dogs  before— the  mocking 
bird,  of  course,  was  outdoing  all  previous 
efforts— the  chickens  began  to  crow — 
Tomkins,  next  door,  was  hallooing 
"  Thieves  !"  and  calling  the  governor.  1 
could  hear  fcreams  and  all  sorts  of  noises 
and  talking  among  the  neighbors,  until  at 
length  the  old  gentleman's  voice  was  heard 
in  the  yard  calling,  "Toml  Tom  !" 

Tom,  fortunately,  was  sound  asleep, 
snoring. 

Jumping  from  my  bed,  I  raised  the 
window,  rubbed  my  eye  and  looked 
partially  frightened  (which  1  wasn't),  and 
asked: 

"  Why,  father,  what  in  the  world  is  the 
matter ':'" 

"  There's  thieves  in  the  house,"  was  the 
reply ;  "  get  your  gun  aud  come  down — be 
quick." 

"  He's  in  the  room  below  you,"  hallooed 
Tomkins ;  "  I'm  certain  of  it ;  I  saw  him 
as  he  ran  down,  and  threw  a  fire  brick  at 
him.  I  know  he  didn't  pass  the  door,  Mr. 
Jones." 

I  was  directed  to  look  out  for  myself,  the 
governor  stood  sentinel  at  the  door  below, 
armed  with  a  club,  while  Tomkins  had  five 
minutes  to  collect  aid  from  the  neighbors, 
and  in  loss  than  half  that  time,  so  thorough- 
ly was  every  house  alarmed,  there  were  a 
dozen  or  more  men  in  the  yard  armed  with 
guns,  pistols  and  sticks. 

The  governor  led  the  attack ;  opening 
the  door  he  called  : 

"  Come  out  of  here,  you  house-breaking 
scoundrel !  If  you  attempt  to  resist  I'll 
blow  your  brains  out." 

Nobody  came,  however. 

'•  Watch  the  door  while  I  go  in,"  and  I 
was  told  to  look  sharp,  and  shoot  the  ras- 
cal if  he  came  up  stairs.  A  momentary 
search  was  sufficient  to  satisfy  everybody 
that  the  thief  was  not  in  the  room. 

*'  He's  up  stairs,  then  !"  cried  Tomkins, 
"^for  I'll  take  my  liiblo  oath  that  he  didn't 
pass  the  door." 

,So  up  stairs  they  trooped,  but  I  had  lit  a 
candle  by  that  time,  and  there  was  no 
burglar  there.  The  strictest  search,  even 
looking  under  a  boot,  didn't  show  the 
faintest  trace  of  him. 

The  yard  was  examined,  then  the  house, 
and  everybody  was  tolerably  satisfied  that 
he  had  escaped ;  but  I  wasnppointed  senti 
nel  for  the  rest  of  the  night,  and  ordered 
not  to  go  to  sleep  on  my  post  (but  I  did)  un- 
der the  penalty  of  a  flogging. 

The  articles  missing,  on  a  thorough  in- 
vestigatiiin  the  next  day,  were  two  pies  and 
the  old  lady'a  silver  thimble.  The  thimble 
.turned  up  in  a  day  or  two,  being  discov- 
ered under  the  carpet,  but  the  pies  have 
not  been  accounted  for  even  unto  this  day. 
On  oath  I  could  have  given  very  material 
testimony  as  to  the  deposit  of  the  stolen 
property,  but  the  cise  didn't  come  before 
any  court,  and  I  remained  quiet. 

Didn't  the  local  editors  loom  though? 
One  of  them  elongated  himself  through  a 
halt  column,  and  headed  the  article,  "  A  Di- 
abolical and  Atrocious  Attempt  at  Burg- 
lary and  Murder !"  describing  with  graph- 
ic pirliculars  the  fiendish  attempt  to  throt- 
tle Miss  L and  her  servant,  compli- 
mented the  coolness  of  K.  Tomkins  Esq . 


and  perorating  witlia  wilhcriug  anathema 
on  the  want  of  vigilance  displayed  by  the 
policemen. 

It  was  fun  fir  me  to  see  with  what  wide- 
awake sagacity  the  watchman  used  to  stop 
at  our  front  t'oor  and  lit-ttn  during  his 
rounds  for  a  month  after.  The  excitement 
died  away,  though,  after  r.  -.vhilc.  But  I'll 
never  forget  the  nigLt  I  tried  to  get  in 
without  making  a  noise.

I'pitapliM. 

From  Temple  Bar. 
Epitaphs  in  England  are  of  three  orders, 
each  with  two  classes.  There  is  the  com- 
monplace unobjectionable  (such  as  the 
mere  name  and  date,  with  a  text  or  two 
added),  and  the  commonplace  extremely 
objectionable,  such  as : 

"  Afllictionsore,  Longtime  I  bore." 
Then  there  is  the  grotc-Hi'ae  iuteational, 
and  the  grotesque  unintentional.    Among 
the  former  we  should  rank  the  epitaph  on 
Mr.  Foote,  of  Norwich  : 

"Here lies  one  Foot,  vrhose  death  may  thousands 
save. 
For  Death  'nath  now  one  Ibot  within  the  grave." 
And  the  one  on  Mr.  Box: 

"  Here  lies  one  box  within  another. 
The  one  of  wt;od  was  very  gornl, 
Wc  cannot  say  so  much  for  t'other." 

Also  the  famous  one  of  Sir  John  Strange : 

"Here  lies  iin  lion'-sl  lawyer. 
That  is  Strange." 

And  Albert  Diner's  epitaph  for  himself— 

certainly  the  siiortesl,  and  perhaps  the 

best  in  the  world — the  meet  ins^criplion  for 

the  closed  door  of  the  House  appointed  for 

all  living,  the  one  word  "  Emigravit." 

And  this  one  on  a  bellows-maker : 

"Here  lies  John  Mellows, 
The  Prince  of  Good  Fellows, 
Clerk  of  All-h!illow*, 
And  maker  of  bellows. 

He  bellows  did  mend  till  the  d.iyofhis  death; 
But  he    who  made  bellows  could  never  make 
breath." 

And  this,  at  Jfanchester,  on  an  old  man  : 

"Here  lies  John  Uill, 
A  man  of  ^kill, 
His  aire  was  ilvo  flmcs  ten ; 
He  ne'er  did  good, 
Is'or  ever  Wduld. 
Had  he  lived  as  long  again." 

And  this  on  a  dy^r: 

"Boneaih  this  turf  a  man  doth  lie, 
Who  dyed  to  live,  and  lived  to  die." 

As  f  »r  the  unintentional! v  grotesque  ep- 
itaphs, they  may  bu  found  in  almost  every 
churchyard  in  Englat.d.  Now  and  then, 
when  we  hear  of  thera,  we  have  a  suspi- 
cion that  they  ure  "  too  good  to  be  true," 
but  he  who  has  h>;d  any  experience 
of  British  monumental  stupidity,  will 
hesitate  to  put  limits  to  the  absurdity 
it  may  display.  The  following  are  a  few 
which  we  recall  to  mind,  omitting  such  as 
we  happen  to  1  ave  elsewhere  seen  iu 
print.  Can  anything  be  more  simply 
touching  than  the  second  line  of  this  coup- 
let: 

"IN  MEMORY  (»F  JOHN'  DALY,  Ac. 
He  died  of  a  tjuinsy. 
And  was  buried  at  iJin«y." 

Or  the  third  of  this  triplet : 

"  Here  licih  wrapt  In  clay. 
The  body  of  William  Wray 
— I  have  no  more  to  say." 

There  is  certainly  no  lack  of  faith  dis- 
played iu  the  fvllowing,  v.hich  is,  we  be- 
lieve, to  be  found  in  Sunbury  churchyaid: 

"A —  B — 
Left  Sunbury, 
And  started  for  ParadlBe, 
June  SGth,  IS—." 

Very  difterent  is  the  sceptical,  not  to 
say  rollicking,  tone  of  the  inscription  over 
a  certain  Gabiiel  J'^hu  : 

"  Here  11  s  the  body  cf  Gabriel  John, 

Who  died  in  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  one. 

Pray  for  bis  soul,  or  lefTt  alcue. 

For  it  is  all  one  loGa'oriel  John, 

Who  died  in  the  year  eighteen  hnndrcd  and  one." 

There  is  a  fearful  weight  of  innuendo 
conveyed  in  this  stern,  brief  notice  in  the 
churchyard  of  Cotttn-Hackett,  Worces- 
tershire : 

"Here  lies  the  bodv  cf  John  Galey  hi  expecta- 
tion of  ihe  Last  Day. 
What  sort  of  a  man  ht  was  that  day  will  </»«- 
cover." 

Here  is  another  cruel  remark  on  a 
doctor: 

"  Here  lies  the  corpse  of  Dr.  Chard, 
Who  filled  the  half  of  this  churchyard  "  ; 
and  a  still  more  unpardonable  one  on  a 
lady,  possible  ct  those  loquacious  tenden- 
cies too  often  harshly  attributed  to  her 
sex : 

"  H'jre  rests  in  silent  elay. 
Mil's  Arabella  Young, 
Who,  on  the  aist  of  May. 
Began  (0  hold  her  tongue.''^ 


This  is  as  bad  as  the  unkind  hint  conveyed 

in  the  following : 

'•  Here  lies  Margaret  Sexton, 
Who  never  did  aught  to  vex  one. 
Notlike  (he  Woman  under  the  next  slone.'^ 

The  following  is  simple  at  all  events. 
It  is  at  Melton  Mowbray,  in  Leicester- 
shire : 

"  Here  lies  the  wife  of  Bimon  Btokea, 
Who  lived  and  died  like  other  folks." 

Grief  and  selfishness  are  finely  mingled 

in  the  following,  by  a  widower : 

"  I've  lost  the  comfort  of  my  life. 
Death  came  and  took  away  my  wife. 
And  now  I  don't  know  what  to  do. 
Lest  death  should  come  ahd  take  nie,  too." 

Grammar  is  postponed  in  the  next  to 
high  poetical  and  moral  consideration: 
"  She's  gone  and  cannot  come  to  we. 
But  we  shall  shortly  go  to  she." 

Another  is  grossly  personal : 

"  Reader!  wherever  thon  be,  oh,  tread  not  hard. 
For  Tadlow  lies  all  over  this  churchyard." 

In  the  churchyard  of  St.  John,  Worces- 
ter, there  is  an  epitaph  which,  if  brevity 
be  the  soul  of  wit,  has  high  claim  to  that 
character.  The  arrangement  ot  the  aux- 
iliary verb  is,  >t  all  events,  original.  It 
reads  thus : 

"  Honest  John 
's  dead  and  gone  t  " 

A  "happy  conceit,"  it  was  doubtless 
thought,  in  1G40,  to  write  over  a  member 
of  Parliament  named  White : 

"  Here  lies  a  John,  a  burning,  shining  light, 
Whose  name,  life,  actions,  all  alike  were  White  I  " 

The  following  would  be  eet  down   as 

Irish,  but  we  believe  may  claim  a  Saxon 

origin : 

"  Ah,  cruel  Death  t    Why  so  unkind. 
To  take  her  and  leave  me  behind  r 
Better  to  have  taken  both  or  neither. 
It  would  have  been  more  kind  to  the  survivor  I" 

But  of  iLe  following  there  tan  be  no 
mistake. 

"  Under  this  stone  lie  two  babies  dear, 
One  is  buried  in  Connanght,  and  the  other  here." 

We  have  always  felt  satisfied  that  that 
most  delicious  of  all  epitaphs  which  cele- 
brates the  virtues  of  Lady  O'Liwney, 
must  have  been  composed  by  her  confi- 
dential maid : 

"  Here  lies  Lady  O'Looney, 
Great  nieca  of  Burke,  commonly  called  'The 

Sublime,' 
She  was  bland,  passionate,  and  deeply  religious ; 
Also  she  painted  in  water-colors. 
And  sent  several  pictures  to  the  Esbibitiou. 
She  was  flrst  con  jin  of  Lady  Jones, 
And  of  such  is  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven  I  " 

Shall  we  class  among  the  intentionally 
or  unintentionally  grotesque  epitaphs  the 
following,  composed  by  three  Scotch 
friends,  to  whom  the  person  commemo- 
rated had  left  a  legacy,  with  the  hope  ex- 
pressed that  they  would  honor  him  by 
some  record  of  their  regrets?  The  first 
friend  composed  the  line  which  naturally 
opened  the  epitaph : 

"Provost  Peter  Patterson  was  Provost  of  Dundee, 
The  second  added : 

"  Provost  Peter  Patterson,  here  lies  he, 
The  third  could  suggest  no  other  conclu- 
sion than 

"Hallelujah!  Hallelujee  I " 

The  following  must  have  been  flattering 

to  the  bereaved  widower : 

"  Here  lies  the  body  of  Mary  Ford, 
Whose  soul,  we  trust,  is  with  the  Lord  ; 
But  11  for  hell  she's  cban^'ed  ttiis  life, 
'Tia  better  than  being  John  Ford's  wife." 

There  are  de  par  le  monde  a  number  of 
epitaphs  the  absurdity  of  which  consists 
in  the  substitution  of  a  wrong  name  for 
the  deceased  person,  to  accommotiate  the 
exigencies  of  the  poet.    One  of  them  runs 
thus : 
"  T'nderneath  this  ancient  pew. 
Lie  the  remains  of  Jonaihnn  Blue, 
His  name  was  Black,  but  that  would  n't  do." 

And  another : 

"Underneath  this  stone  aged  threescore  and  ten, 
Lie  the  remains  of  William  Wood  hen." 
(/'or  Hen,  rearf  Cock— Cock  would  n't  come  in 
rhyme.) 

We  confess  we  are  sceptical  about  the 
authenticity  of  these  various  readings. 
No  doubts,  however,  attach  to  the  sweet 
agricultural  simplicity  which  breathes 
through  the  following : 
"  Here  I  lies,  and  no  wonder  I'm  d':ad. 

For  the  wheel  of  a  wagoi.  went  over  my  head." 

A  very  facetious  story  is  told  in  some 
quarters  of  a  pauper,  who  having  died  in 
a  workhouse,  was  to  be  buried  in  the  most 
economical  fathion.  The  master  proposed 
to  inscribe  over  his  tombstone  : 

"  Thomas  Thorps, 
His  corps." 

The  guardians  at  the  next  meeting  f'f  the 

board  indignantly  forbade  such  a  iirofligate 

expenditure  of  the  rates,  and  ordered  the 

epitaph  to  be  curtailed  thus  : 

"Thorps' 
Corpse." 

T  ic  narrators  of  this  anecdote  arc  grossly 
ij^norant  of  Poor-law  management.  Any 
tombstone,  or  any  epitaph  whatever  for  a 
pauper,  would  never  have  been  dreamed 
of  by  either  master  or  guardians 

After  all  these  ridiculous  instances  of 
grotesque  epitaphs,  we  have  no  heart  to 
speak  of  the  remaining  class  »jf  mortu- 
ary inscriptionp, — the  few,  the  very  few, 
in  English,  which  are  really  good;  good 
either  as  poctrj',  or  because  their  directness 
and  simplicity  make  them  affecting. 

Certainly  we  cannot  class  with  either  of 
these  the  last  we  shall  quote,  a  real  epitaph, 
and  a  whole  satire  too : 

"  He  lived  and  died  a  true  Christian, 
He  loved  his  friends,  and  hated  Uu  enemitt !  " 


Encourag;ln;>;  fi»is'n»'. 

We  heard  much  from  our  Radical  oppo- 
nents, last  fall,  by  way  of  explanation  of 
the  defeats  which  they  sufft-reo.  "Apathy" 
and  "  local  causes  "  were  assigned  as  rea- 
sons for  disasters  which  followed  six  years 
of  triumph.    That  any  permanent  changes 
had  ensued  in  the  relations  of  parties  they 
would  not  believe.    The  next  elections, 
they  assured  us.  wtiuld  show  that  the  Uad- 
ical's  had  simply  been  caught  napping,  and 
had  thereby  lost  a  small  portion  ot  their 
camp  equipage  ;  but  their  forces  were  iu; 
tact,  and  at  the   next  fight  they  would 
sweep  the  field.     The  Democracy  were 
confident  of  entirely  another  state  of  thing?, 
judging  from  the  tacts  that  a  powerful  rev- 
olution in  public  sentiment  had  gradually 
taken  place,  and  that  a  strong  tide  was 
setting  against  the  Radical  party  which 
no  effort  could  reverse.    It  was  no  mere 
eddy,  or  whirlpool,  but  a  steady,  flowing 
stream.     Every  week,  in  local  elections 
held  here  and  there,  we  see  evidence  that 
the   change   of    political    sentiment,    so 
signally  manifested,  was  not  evanescent  or 
due  to  ephemeral  infiuenccs,  but  resting 
on  a  sul)blantial  basis  ot  changed  convic- 
tions.    In  New  York  State,  lor  example, 
where  Radicalism    was  swamped    under 
50,000    Democratic   majority,    the    local 
elections,  show  the  vigor  of  the  Democ- 
racy    unabated.      They    are,    in     fact, 
achieving  new  victories.    In  the  town  of 
Waterford,  in  Jefferson  county,  last  week, 
for  the  first  time  in  fifteen  years,  th«y 
achieved  a    triumph   at   the   municipal 
altction.     In  1866,  Fenton   carried   the 
town  by  a  majority  of  156.    In  1867,  the 
Democrats  knocked  that  majority  down  to 
47 ;  and,  last  week,  still  pushing  on  the 
column,  they  carried  the  town  by  40  ma- 
jorily-:-a  gain  of  87  since  November,  a  full 
vote  t)eing  polled.    So  in  Herkimer  county, 
in  that  Slate.     The  Radicals  have  con- 
trolled the  count;    ^(^t  '  ^y  years.    Of 
the  nineteen  townfe  'bpybn"  diz teen, elect- 
ing the  Supervise: a  lu  cucu.    Last  week 
the  Democrats   carried  three  additional 
towns,  thus  doubling  the  number  of  Dem- 
ocratic Supervisors.    In  four  other  towns 
they  so  reduced   the  Radical  majorities 
that  a  change  of  50  votes  more  would  have 
given  them  a  majority  of  the  Supervisors 
in  the  county.    A  significant  fact  is  that 
the  Democratic  majorities  in  the  six  towns 
carried  by  them  are  larger  than  the  aggre- 
gate Radical  majorities  in  the  remaining 
thirteen— showing  that  upon  a   general 
ticket  the  Democracy  would  have  carried 
the  county.    Another  sign  of  the  perma- 
nence of  the  change  of  sentiment,  and  of 
one  of  the  most  powerful  operative  causes 
by  which  that  change  has  been  produced 
and  has  been  perpetuated,  is  in  the  in- 
creased extent  of  the  circulation  of  Demo- 
cratic newspapen.     As  one  inattuice  of 


this,  take  the  town  of  Hammondsport  in 
New  York.  In  18(57,  the  New  York  Tri- 
bune held  the  field  there,  outrunniiig  the 
Winld.  Now  the  two  papers  stand  thus  : 
New  York  Weekly  World,  «5;  stmi- 
weekly,  11 ;  total,  96.  Tribune  weekly,  7 ; 
semi- weekly,  20 ;  total,  27. 

The  sentiments  of  a  community  may  be 
pretty  fairly  inferred  from  the  sentiments 
of  tho  newspapers  circulating  amongst 
them.  Where  four-fifths  of  the  religious 
newspapers  taken  at  an  oflice  are  Metho- 
dist, it  is  quite  safe  to  conclude  that  the 
active  denominational  sentiment  of  that 
community  is  Methodist,  and  where  three- 
quarters  of  the  political  newspapers  dis- 
tributed in  any  district  are  Democratic,  it 
is  certain  that  the  active  thought  of  such 
a  community  is  running  in  Democratic 
channels.  The  immense  increase  of  the 
circulation  of  Democratic  newspaperu  in 
every  State,  from  Jlaisachnsetts  to  Mis- 
souri, ii  one  of  the  assurmg  signs  that  the 
change  in  the  relations  of  parties  is  a 
thoughtful  and  deliberate  one — not  spas- 
modic, passionate  or  capriciouf. 

Iu  the  city  of  Reading,  Pennsylvania,  at 
ihe  late  municipal  election,  the  Radicala 
were  routed,  "horse,  foot  and  dragoons." 
The  Democratic  Auditor  was  elected  by 
y36  majority,  a  jjain  of  317  since  the  elec- 
tion in  October.  Both  brunches  of  the 
Common  Council  are  Democratic,  and  a 
majority  of  the  Ward  officers.  Coming 
West  ana  passing  on  to  Kansas,  we  loIicl 
there  that  the  coiidition  of  affairs  is  most 
encouraging.  Kansas  is  Radical.  But  the 
prodigious  majority  of  0,000  agaiust  negro 
suffrage  in  a  total  vote  of  about  25,(JOO 
shows  that  the  type  of  Radicalism  there  is 
not  reliable.  The  vote  showed,  too,  that 
Democracy  waa  far  stronger  thau  any  one 
had  sujiposed.  There  had  been  no  thor- 
ough organization.  The  Democracy  lor 
years  had  been  retiring  and  quiet  in 
the  presence  of  rampant  JAyhawker.°, 
red  legs  and  furious  Radicals,  so  that,  in 
fact,  they  were  scarcely  known  as  an  or- 
ganized party.  But  the  large  vote  which 
they  cast  satisfied  ixperienccd  campaign- 
ers that  if  a  timely  and  thorough  organiza- 
tion had  been  hud  the  Democracy  would 
have  carried  the  State.  The  surpri.-ingly 
large  vote  which  they  did  cast  has  had  one 
excellent  effect.  It  has  spurred  them  up 
to  make  a  complete  orirauization  to  liad 
out  their  real  force  in  the  State.  One  of 
the  counties  where  they  proposed  to  begin 
was  Douglas  countj*,  where  Lawrence, 
the  headquarters  of  Kansas  Radicalism, 
flourishes  with  all  the  rank  luxuriance  of 
the  most  intolerant  Radical  faith.  They 
were  laughed  at  and  derided  for  any  rue  h 
attempt,  not  merely  by  the  Radicals,  but 
by  friends  who  had  only  a  weak  faith.  It 
was  predicted  that  they  could  not  drum  up 
three  hundred  Democrats  in  Douglas  in 
three  months.  But  the  movement  was  un- 
dertaken, and  with  most  remarkable  suc- 
cess. Last  week  the  Secretary  ot  the 
Central  Committee  of  the  C(mnty  an- 
nounced that  in  three  weeks'  effort  seven 
hundred  Democrats  were  enrolled  in  the 
county.  Clubs  were  formed  in  every 
township.  February  16ih  a  meeting  as- 
sembled in  Lawrence  to  t  rgauizc  a  club. 
In  that  hot-bed  of  Radicalism,  seventy-five 
names  were  signed  to  the  constitution  aud

twenty-one  Stales  in  which  the  aggregate

Tbe  IVrous:  Woman. 

Readinf:  the  article  in  Thursday's  Chron- 
icle headed,  •■  Shall  Women  Propote  ?  '  in 
which  Mrs.  Oakes  Smith  relates  a  story 
of  a  woman  proposing  to  the  wroiij  man, 
reminds  me  of  an  oc<nui  cnce  t  hat  happened 
here  some  twenty  years  bince.  A  distin- 
guished professor  aud  divine  from  this 
neighborhood  was  on  a  visit  to  sonic 
friends  cast  of  the  mountains,  and  wns 
introduced  to  a  verj'  respectable  family 
which  had  two  accomplished  daughters- 
one  ot  them  very  handsome  and  tlie  «ilher 
nuher  plain.  After  spending  Pome  weeks 
iu  the  neighbi>rhooJ,  and  having  trequt  nt 
opportunities  of  meeting  tho  ladies,  he 
became  quite  enamored  with  the  younger 
aud  prettier  of  the  sisters,    lie,  however. 


returned  home  without  s!iowing  any 
preference.  He  wus  a  man  of  very 
sedate  and  studious  habit?,  aud  soon  be- 
came absorbed  in  his  JMioks,  and  for  a 
time  he  seemed  to  forget  his  new  ac- 
quaintances. But  the  image  of  one  of 
them  seemed  to  be  continually  before  his 
mind.  After  havii!g  maturely  consiticrid 
the  matter,  and  having,  I  have  no  doubt, 
sought  guidance  from  on  high,  he  con- 
cluded to  commence  a  conc?r>ontIencewi'.h 
the  object  of  his  affection.  Unfortunately, 
or  fortunately,  as  he  afterwards  sUtted,  he 
addressed  the  wrop.g  lady.  He  Lad  got 
their  names  transposed.  The  correspond- 
ence finally  led  to  an  engagement.  Tne  day 
was  fixed  for  the  Wedding,  and  the  grave 
and  reverend  1).  D.  entered  his  appearance 
at  the  proper  time.  But  wliat  was  his 
consternation  to  find  that  he  was  going  to 
marry  a  lady  he  had  not  courted.  But, 
being  a  sensible  and  an  honorable  man,  he 
said  nothing  about  it,  believing  the  hand 
of  Providence  was  in  the  matter,  and  was 
actUkUy  married  to  the  sister  of  the  girl  he 
thought  he  had  won.  Time  wore  on  ;  she 
proved  to  be  a  most  amiable,  intelligent, 
and  aSectionate  wife.  He  never  told  the 
story  till  after  the  younger  sister  was  hap- 
pily married.  He  never  had  reason  to  re- 
pent the  mistake,  and  he  to  this  day  is 
firm  in  the  belief  that  God  so  ordered  it 
for  his  happiness.  "  All's  well  that  ends

iMPEACTrMEXT  TuiALS. — Siucc  the  adop- 
tion ot  the  Constitution  there  have  been 
five  trials  of  impeachment  by  the  Senate. 
The  first  of  these  was  that  of  a  William 
Blout,  a  Senator  from  Tennessee.  It  com- 
menced Dec.  17, 1798,  and  was  concluded 
Jan.  14. 1799.  The  next  was  the  trial  of 
John  Pickering,  Judge  of  the  New  Hamp- 
shire District,  which  lasted  from  March  3 
to  March  13,  1803.  The  next  was  that  of 
Samuel  Chase,  one  of  the  Associate 
Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  which  was  commenced  Nov.  30, 
1804,  and  lasted  until  March  1, 1805.  The 
fourth  was  the  trial  of  James  H.  Peck, 
Judge  of  the  Missouri  District,  which  was 
prolonged  through  two  sessions,  viz. :  from 
May  11  to  May  25.  1830,  and  from  Dec.  30 
of  the  same  year  to  Jan.,  31,  1831.  The 
last  trial  by  the  Senate  was  on  the  im- 
peachment of  Judge  Humphreys,  opf  the 
Tennessee  District,  about  the  year  1863.

— A.  fervent  church  member  recently 


astonished  a  prayer  meeting  by  supplicat- 
ing for  the  preservation  of  the  lives  of  the 
young  ladies  of  the  congregation,  and  that 
one  of  them  be  eventually  reserved  for 
him.  On  being  remonstrated  with  by  one 
of  the  brethren,  he  said  such  was  the  hon- 
est wish  of  his  heart,  and  that  he  did  not 
see  the  impropriety  of  praylsg  for  it 


Tlie  Protest. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  protest 
offered  in  the  House  on  the  2d.    The  mo- 
tion made  to  suspend  the  rules  that  the 
protest  might  be  read  and  placed  on  the 
journal,  was  rejected  on  the  3J— 46  to  84  : 
The  underfcigned,  members  of  the  For- 
tieth Congress  of  the  United  States,  repre- 
senting directly  or  iu  principle  more  tJian 
one  half  of  the  whole  peo2"»le  of  the  United 
States,  do  hereby,  in  the  name  of  the  law 
and  justice,  and  in  behalf  of  those  they 
represent,  most  solemly  protest  against  the 
tyranny   and  liju  tice  practiced  by  the 
majority  of  the  House  in  violating  the  sa- 
cred rights  of  free  debate  and  unrestrained 
deliberation  upon  the  greatest  questions 
ever  brought  before  an  American  Con- 
gress.   The  rules  of  the  House   made  for 
the  protection  of  the  minority,  and  by  a 
strict  adherence  to  which  the  weaker  party 
can  only  be  protected  from  those  irregu- 
larities  and  abuses  which  wantonness  of 
power  id  but  too  often  apt  to  suggest  to 
large  and  successful  majorities — have  been, 
during  this  entire  Congress,  violative  of 
their  true  spirit  aud  intent,  wantonly  and 
uupreocdently  suspended  and  set  aside,  not 
upon  particular  and  ijressing  matters,  but 
upon  all  pending  subjects  of  legislation, 
so  that  by  this  reckless  and  arbitrary  sus- 
pension of  rules  and  the  wanton  abuse  of 
tbe  previous  question,  the  rights  of  the 
minority  have   been  utterly  disregarded, 
the  House  «>f  Representalives  has  ceased 
to  ba  a  deliberative  body,  and  the  minor- 
ity have  been  compelled  to  vote  upon  the 
most    important   qutstions   without  any 
proper  or  reasonable  time  for  debate  or 
consideration.    To    such  extent    has  this 
dangerous  aiid  oppressive  practice  obtained 
itial  measures  affecting  vitally  the  whole 
country  and  ihedearest  interests  of  our  con- 
blitueneies.  tending,  as  we  believe,  to  the 
subversion  of  our  republican  form  of  gov- 
ernment, iu  their  very  nature  demanding 
of  the  people  and  representatives  the  most 
carefal  examination  and    scrutiny,  have 
been  hurried  throne  h  forms  of  legislation 
without  being  primed,  without  one  word 
«jf  debate  or  one  moment's  consideration, 
without    the  opportunity  of   the   under 
signed  to  protest  except  in  violation  of 
the  then  operating  order  enforced  by  the 
majority  as  the  order  of  the  House.    'These 
alarming  abuses  of  power  might  not  seem 
to  demand  this  formal  protest,  if  we  were 
not  forced  to  the  belief  that  a  determined 
intention  exists  with  the  majority  to  revo- 
lutionize this  Government  by  destroying 
the  other  co-ordinate  branches  and  vesting 
all  powers  of  the  Government  in  Congress 
In  the  steps  taken  to  depose  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  we  are  admon- 
ished that  there  is  no  end  to  this  oppressive 
measure  to  cripple  the  power  aud  silence 
the  voice  of  the  minority.    The  resolution 
was  rushed  through  the  House  under  the 
operation  of  the  pievi«^U8  question,  refer- 
ring the  matter  to  the  Committee  on  Re- 
coHhtruction.    The  committee,  in  hot  haste, 
setting  when  the  House  was  in  session,  in 
violation  of  one  of  its  express  rules,  con- 
sidered   it,  and    by  a  strict    party    vote 
adopted  it  and  presented  it  to  the  House 
(or  lis  action,  and  then  was  exhibited  one 
if  the  most  extraordinary  spectacles  ever 
witnessed  in  a  deliberative  parliamentary 
body.    Members  were  allowed  some  thirty 
minutes,  some  twenty,  some  ten  and  some 
one  minute  only,  to  discuss  the  most  mo- 
mentous question  ever  presented.    Many 
could  not  even  get  one  minute  under  the 
arbitraiy  rule  of  the  majority,  and  more 
tlian  half  those  even  of  ttie  party  voting 
t  J  enforce  the  preyioas  question,  who  de- 
sired to  be  heard,  were  permitted  only  to 
print  Iheir  speeches  in  tiie  Globe  afler  tbe 
question  upon  the  resolution  was  decided, 
and   which  were  never  delivered  in  the 
House.      No  comment  can  demonstrate 
more  completely  than  the  facts  themselves 
the  viciousness  and  illegality  of  such  pro- 
ooe.din£P.     But  thi.a  wanton  and  excessive 
use  ot  Ihe  power  of  the  majority  does  not 
stop  here.    While  the  committee  were  in 
se&aion  ujion  further  proceedings  to  remove 
the  President,  and  in  anticipation  of  its 
action,  under  the  operation  of  the  previous 
quesiion,  without  debate,  in  violation  of 
llie  express  rule,  new,  special  and  most  ex- 
traordinary nilea  for  the  conduct  of  this 
proceeding,  changing,   without    previous 
notice,  the  rules  of  tiie  Houte,  were  adopted 
to  farther  limit   debate  aud  completely 
p!acethe  minority  in  the  power  aud  mercy 
of  the  majority.    Thus  while  the  majority 
of  Congress  are  warring  upon  the  other 
coordiuate   departments — the   Executive 
and   Judicial — endeavoring  to   subjugate 
and  bring  them  both  under  the  will  and 
control  ot  Congress,  the  minority  of  the 
House  of  Representatives  are  steadily  and 
surely  being  stripped  of  all  power,  and 
their  constituents  deprived  of  all  repre- 
sentative voice  in  the  counsels  of  the  re- 
public. 

We  do,  therefore,  most  solemnly  protest 
agaiust  the  indecurous  and  undignified 
haste  with  which  the  majority  of  this 
House  has  inaugurated,  presented  and 
ru.-'hid  through,  by  a  strict  party  vote, 
in  plain  and  palpable  violation  of  one  of 
the  standing  rules  of  the  House,  a  resolu- 
tion demantlinjf  the  impenchment  of  the 
Chief  Magistrate  of  the  people  f 'r  alleged 
crimes  and  misdemeanors  in  office.  When 
the  gravity  of  the  charge,  the  character  of 
the  high  office  against  which  the  attack 
was  directed,  aud  the  UDfortcen  and  tre- 
mendous consequence  which  might  result 
therefrom  to  the  peace  and  prosperity  of 
the  people,  called  for  the  exercise  of  the 
calmest  aud  wisest  judgment,  the  most  un- 
prejudiced aud  impartial  deliberation  on 
the  part  of  those  who  had  such  proceed- 
ings in  charge,  we  do  most  solemnly  pro- 
test agaiust  this  thiicc-rtpeattd  attempt  to 
degrade  and  break  down  one  of  the  great 
co-ordinate  branches  of  the  government, 
ihrouj^h  the  spirit  of  par'y  hatred  and 
vengeance,  against  a  person  who,  by  the 
Constitution,  is  ia  the  rightful  and  con- 
scientious discharge  of  its  functions,  thus 
consuming  the  precious  time  which  ought 
to  be  faithfully  devoted  to  an  earnest  effort 
to  relieve  the  pressing  wants  of  the  people, 
the  restoration  of  this  distracted  coui  try 
to  union  and  gr»od  order,  and  to  lightening 
the  burden  ot  taxation  which  is  pressing 
down  all  the  energies  of  trade  and  com- 
merce to  a  point  of  universal  bankruptcy 
and  ruin. 

We  do  again  most  solemnly  protest 
against  aud  profoundly  deprecate  and  de- 
plore any  aud  all  attempts  to  array  in 
hostile  antagonism  to  each  other  the  de- 
partments of  the  Government  upon  the 
mere  question  of  the  constitutionality  or 
construction  of  a  law  of  Congress,  the 
proper  jurisdiction  and  final  adjudication 
of  which  belong  to  the  judicial  tribunal, 
and  we  hereby  warn  the  people  of  the 
United  States  that  the  public  liberty  and 
the  existence  of  free  institutions  are  in- 
volved in  this  suicidal  struggle,  and  that 
they  are  in  imminent  peril  of  an  utter 
overthrow.  We  do  further  most  solemnly 
protest  against  that  wild  and  radical  spirit 
of  innovation  upon  the  early  and  well 
settled  practice  of  Government,  a  practice 
established  by  men  who  framed  the  Consti- 
tution and  who  best  understood  its  spirit 
and  meaning,  which  puts  the  Chief  Magis- 
trate of  the  Republic,  the  representative 
of  the  dignity  and  power  of  the  people,  at 
the  mercy  of  his  subordinate,  assuming  to 
be  Secretary  of  War  in  violation  of  his 
own  pronounced  conviction  of  law,  who 
has  the  unblushing  effrontery  to  place 
himself  in  the  unwarranted  posiuon  of 
communicating  .directly  with  Congress  in 
bitter  contempt  of  the  authority  ol  his  su- 
perior, and  with  the  deliberate  purpose  of 
resisting  that  authority. 

The  undersigned,  therefore,  in  the  chs^r- 
acter  of  Representatives  of  the  people,  be- 
ing deprived,  by  the  despotic  power  of  an 
inexorable  majority,  of  the  high  privilege 
of  debate,  that  great  instrument  in  the 
discovery  of  the  truth,  and  most  cherished 
heritage  of  a  free  people,  do  hereby  sol- 
emnly and  earneblly  protest  against  these 
infractioiu  ot  the  rights  of  the  people,  and 


ask  that  this  their  protest  be  spread  upon

A  CORIIESPOXDENT  of  the  Rural  New 
Yorker  says  two  and  one-half,  or  three 
cords  of  wood  make  100  bushels  of  char- 
coal. 

The  Ohio  State  Agricultural  Society, at 
their  last  meeting,  indorsed  the  following 
varieties  of  strawberries:  Filmore  Wilson, 
Triomphe  de  Gand,  Golden  seeded,  and 
Jucunda.  The  Kittatinny  Blackberry  was 
highly  spoken  of. 

A  Pennsylvanlv  correspondent  of  the 
Country  Qenileman  plants  corn  from  tbe 
entire  ear  with  good  rosuVs.  In  one  ex- 
periment, the  seed  from  the  points  of 
the  ears  produced  the  largest  st'cUs,  finest 
ears,  and  was  out  iu  ta££el  and  silk  first. 

Sheep  should  be  well  and  evenly  fed  ; 
no  sudden  changes  in  food  from  good  to 
bad,  nor  be  exposed  to  storms  or  sudden 
changes  of  temperature,  or  else  the  fibre 
of  the  fleece  will  be  uneven  ana  un- 
healthy.—Cor.  Plovnhman. 

The  Country  Gaitkman  .strongly  re- 
commends the  plan  of  ]danting  corn  in 
drills  or  hills  thick  in  the  row,  believing 
that  the  increased  product  of  corn  will 
more  than  compensate  for  any  increase  in 
labor  in  cultivating  the  crop.  2 

Many  farmers  in  the  northern  comtics 
of  Virginia  are  extensively  engaged  in 
sheep  raising,  and  arc  much  encourai^ed  by 
their  success.  The  Richmond  Whiij  says 
it  is  destined  to  become  one  of  the  leading 
and  most  profitable  pursuits  of  the  S'luIc. 

Arator,  in  the  Country  Ocntlemin,  says, 
"  He  who  would  receive  heavy  croi'S  ot 
forage,  must  first  of  all  put  his  m^uuie  in 
deeply,  and  thus  make  his  land  deep  aud 
rich.  Afterwards,  by  fJir  the  most  econom- 
ical mode  of  application  will  be  by  top- 
dressing." 

The  Minnesota  State  Agricultural  Soci- 
ety resolved  that  "  this  association  is  en- 
tirely opposed  to  any  encourag«^mcnt  or 
permission  on  the  part  of  the  executive 
committee  of  any  gambling  or  jockeying 
whatever,  in  connection  with  trials  of 
speed  at  our  State  Fairs." 

One  who  believes  club-footed  cabbages 
to  be  the  result  ol  impure  seed,  directs^^to 
plant  the  stalks  in  the  spring,  as  early  as 
the  ground  and  season  will  allow,  with 
the  heads  on,  and  far  enough  from  all 
plants  of  the  same  species,  that  the  wind, 
insects,  and  bees  cannot  carry  the  pollen 
and  spoil  the  seed. 

Fattenikg  Calves.— a  scnsibie  practi- 
cal farmer  says  that  he  has  open  noticed 
that  calves  would  thrive  better  on  milk 
that  was  not  rich  in  butter  than  what  was 
commonly  called  very  rich  milk.  The  nu- 
tritive elements  of  milk  reside  chitfly  in 
the  casein.  If  you  have  a  cow  that  gives 
particularly  rich  milk,  and  one  that  gives 
a  quahty  poorer  in  butter,  it  is  better  in 
every  way  to  teed  th«  calf  on  the  milk  of 
the  latter.  The  calf  will  thrive  better,  ard 
you  will  get  more  butter  Cum  the  niilk  c.f 
the  first  cow. 

Short  Rule  to  MKAst'RE  Grain. — 
It  is  conveuienl  to  farmers  and  cioppeii 
at  this  season  to  have  an  easy  and  correct 
rule  by  which  to  measure  corn  iu  cribs. 
Hure  ia  one:  bavin;;  levekd  the  coin  iii 
the  crib,  measure  the  length,  breadth  and 
depth,  and  multiply  them  together,  and  de- 
duct from  the  product  one-fifth  ;  aud  you 
have  the  number  of  bushels  in  the  ear — 
for  shelled  corn  take  one-half  of  this.  To 
be  strictly  correct,  add  half  a  bushel  for 
every  one  hundred. — Frainc  Farmer. 

Early  Tomatoes. — To  have  tomatoes 
early,  says  an  exchange,  plaut  a  few  feeds 
any  time  this  month  in  the  pots  in  which 
the  plants  are  growing  in  the  kitchen  -^vin- 
dow.  They  will  soon  germinate  and  grow 
very  rapidlj',  and  when  the  plants  ar«rtwo 
inches  high,  set  one  of  each  in  boxes  three 
inches  square,  or  very  small  flower  pols, 
and  give  them  the  same  attention  the  house 
plants  get.  As  soon  as  all  danger  from 
frost  is  over,  transfer  the  tomato  plants, 
which  will  now  be  budded  and  perhaps 
covered  with  miniature  fruit,  to  the  souih 
side  of  a  high  fence  on  the  sunny  side  of 
a  building,  into  not  over  rich  soil,  and  you 
will  have  lipe  tomatoes  on  the4lh  of  Ju!y, 
and  you  can't  miss  it,  if  past  experience 
and  a  favorable  season  are  worth  any- 
thing. 

Planting  Forest  Tree  Seeds.- The 
seeds  that  have  pulp  should  be  washed  at 
once  on  gathering,  and  dried  in  tho  shtde 
gradually,  also.  Sun-dried  seeds  arc  gen- 
erally worthless,  especially  tho.-?e  of  a  dark 
color.  The  sooner  seeds  can'be  got  in  the 
ground  the  better.  They  should  not  be 
sown  any  deeper  th.an  is  necessary  to  keep 
them  from  the  light,  nor  so  near  the  air  as 
to  get  dry— moisture,  air,  and  darkness  arc 
the  three  essentials  for  the  successful  rais- 
ing of  tree  seeds.  Seeds  that  Hie  usual Iv 
spring  sown,  and  are  found  to  "damp  off," 
should  be  sown  very  early,  so  that  the

weather  comes.  Tiio  soft  maple  will  not 
keep  more  than  a  few  weeks  gtxid  enough

the  best  way.  A  long  article  would  tell  a

ter.— Gardcner'a  Monthly. 

IlnsinesH  l»  IBusinesH. 

The  following  anecdotes  are  told  of  the 
late  W.  M.  Swain,  formerly  proprietor  of 
the  Philadelphia  Ledger : 

As  a  business  man  he  was  very  rigid  in 
his  adherence  to  what  he  conceived  to  be 
sound  business  principles.  "  Never  fix  a 
price  on  another  man's  goods,"  was  ono  of 
those  principles.  A  paper  dealer  met  him 
one  day  in  the  street. 

"Mr.  8,"  said  he,  "I  have  some  excel- 
lent white  paper  of  the  size  of  the  Ledjtr 
Do  you  wish  to  buy  ?" 

"  Yes,  sir,"  was  the  reply. 

"What  are  you  willing  to  give  for  it?" 
was  the  next  inquiry. 

"  Precisely  the  worth  of  it,  sir ;  neither 
more  nor  less,"  was  the  rejoinder. 

"  Oh,  of  course.  But  I  jnean,  Mr.  S., 
what  can  you  afford  to  give  me  for  it?" 

"  Double  price,  if  I  choose ;  but  I  don't." 

"  But,  fix  the  price,  sir." 

"  I  never  put  a  price  on  another  man's 
goods.  If  you  don't  know  the  value  of 
your  own  paper  you  should  not  attempt  to 
dispose  of  it.  If  you  do,  you  are  wasting 
my  time  and  your  own  in  idle  circumlo 
cutions  to  get  the  advantage  of  me.  Tell 
your  price.  If  it  suits,  well;  if  not,  you 
ra&y  find  some  other  customer." 

Business  is  business,  and  nothing  should 
interfere  with  it,  was  another  of  his  busi- 
ness principles.  Consequently  he  would 
lake  nothing  off  the  price  of  an  advertise- 
ment on  the  score  of  friendship  or  benev- 
olence, or  any  other  of  the  ten  thousand 
petty  excuses  made  to  "  nip  tbe  printer." 
A  gentleman  once  called  upon  him  v/ith 
an  advertisement  of  a  benefit  for  a  poor 
widow  with  several  helpless  children. 
"  How  much  for  the  advertisement,  under 
the  circnmstances?"  said  he.  "Just  what 
it  comes  to,"  said  Mr.  8. ;  "  business  is  bus- 
iness, sir;  charity  is  another  question." 
"But  to  a  poor  widow,  sir!  every  dollar 
Eared  is  a  matter  of  serious  moment  to  her 
£uiuly."   "  Btuiaeas  is  business,  I  repeat, 


sir.  What  I  choose  to  give  in  charity  is 
my  own  private  affairs.  My  business  hag 
noth:ng  to  do  with  it."  "  Then  you  will 
take  no  less?"  "Not  a  cent  sir."  The 
gentleman  paid  the  bill  very  reluctantly, 
amounting  to,  perhaps,  two  dollars,  and 
was  going  out  of  the  office  reflecting  rather 
severely  in  his  own  mind  upon  the  parsi- 
mony of  Mr.  8.,  when  the  latter  stopped, 
him.  "Do  you  know  this  widow?  Is  she 
honest  and  deserving?"  "She  is,  sir."  Mr. 
S.  slipped  a  f  10  bill  in  the  ge-ntleman's 
hand,  and,  turning  on  his,  heel  walked 
away,  saying  "business  is  busine.ss."

A  FcM'  '^Vordsi  to  tUe  l..adie8. 

Many  ladies,  particularly  mothers  nursing,  com- 
plain of  a  tired,  listless  feeling,  or  complete  ex- 
haustion, on  arising  in  the  morning.  On  tbe  wife 
and  mother  devolves  the  responsibility  of  regulat- 
ing the  duties  of  the  household.  Uer  cares  are 
numerous,  and  the  mental  as  well  as  physica. 
powers  are  frequently  called  into  requisition. 
She  often  flcds  her  slightest  occupation  a  weary 
task  and  existence  a  burden,  while  at  the  same 
time  she  has  no  regular  disease.  IIOSTETTER'8 
STOMACU  BITTEKS,  if  resorted  to  at  this  period, 
will  prove  nn  unfailing  remedy  for  this  annoying 
lassitude.  The  efTects  of  this  potent  agent  are 
soon  seen  in  the  rosy  cheek  and  clastic  step  of  the 
head  of  the  family,  as  with  restored  health  and 
renewed  spirits  she  takes  her  accustomed  place  ia 
the  timily  circle.  If  this  friend  in  need  be  regu- 
larly used,  those  depressing  symptoms  will  never 
be  complaiiicd  of,  and  not  only  would  lassit  ude  not 
be  experienced,  but  many  diseases  following  its 
Hdvent  be  avoided.  As  a  MEDICAL  AGENT  it  has 
no  equiil,  while  its  pleasing  flavor  and  healthful 
cffcc's  have  made  it  a  general  favorite.  It  is  free 
from  all  properties  calculated  to  impair  the 
system,  and  its  operations  arc  at  once  mild,

jgf2*  Wo  learn  there  i.s  an  effort  being 
made  to  ;;ct  i:p  a  joint  stoclt  company  to  run 
the  S[iCCtator.  This  cortaitdy  would  be  a 
;jood  thin';  fur  ITo'.v  and  Suait,  who  have 
a  tii.K  hundred  dollar  chaltle  inort^a;4c  on 
that  starviii;j  concern.  Knt  we  think  it 
Miiire  than  jirnbable  ihat  Jlra.  Fpcctatoi"a 
Siock  v.oiiid  .soon  be  aniicted  with  lltat 
dreadful  disease — tho  Ilind-crpeot. 


I'mm.cviox  or  a  Kkrosk.xk  L.v.mp. — One 
evening  last  week  a  kerosciie  lamp  e.\plo- 
dcd  Sit  tho  s.iloon  of  ^liehael  Corbit,  on 
Second  St.  The  light  hjid  been  burning 
over  half  an  hour,  and  was  han'-in;' from 
tiie  ceiling  when  tho  explosion  took  place. 
Mr.  CoiLIt  was  seiling  by  the  vtuve  holding 
a  .-uiall  child.  No  one  cl:;o  was  in  tLe 
room.  The  oil  was  set  on  fire  and  wass 
di  attcre.l  about  tho  room  and  bar,  but  none 
was  thrown  on  J!r.  Coibit.  'J'lie  burniri;; 
oil  spread  to  a  tin  can  of  the  kerosene 
.standing  under  the  bholves,  and  the  can 
also  exploiled  and  Iilie>I  tlie  room  with  a 
blaze  of  burning  oil.  The  burning  oil  was 
soon  cousumed,  and,  strange  to  say,  a  few 
buckets  of  wattT  thrown  on  e.\tin<ruishcd 
the  lire  without  the  wofid  work  being  set  in 
a  lila^e  allh^iugh  it  was  sonrjwhat  bhickcii- 
ed. 

This  explosion  can  be  attributed  to  noth- 
ing except  jioor,  adulterated  oil.  There  is 
a  law  of  Congress  making  it  a  penal  olfence 
to  adulterate  or  to  sell  adulterated  kero- 
sene oil.  Our  dealers  ou^ht  not  t)  purehaie 
any  kerosene  oil  unless  they  know  it  to  be 
pure.  It  is  a  crime  to  sell  anything  bi.t 
iLe  pure  article,  at;. 1  beaidos,  ihc  seller  of 
an  impure  aniclc  is  liable  for  all  damages 
ihat  o«  cur  from  its  use.  The  Congres- 
.sional  law  ap|iiie.s  not  only  to  keroseiie  oils, 
but  to  all  oils  and  iluiJs  that  wUl  bum  at 
!e-!s  than  210  degress  of  heat. 

We  invito  the  attention  of  our  roadorj  to 
another  article  which  we  jmblish  ihis  weok 
on  the  causes  of  explo.si.jus  of  kcro.'iene 
lamps.  Also  to  another  short  arlielo  show- 
ing how  to  test  kerosene  oils  and  tell  llie 
pure  from  the  impure. 


Tcj"  Among  tho  most  prominent  advan- 
tages of  the  rerrine  Plow  over  all  other ', 
is  its  great  duru!)ility.  It  will  last  from 
two  to  three  times  longer  than  aiiv  coinr 
moil  I'lov.'  made  by  any  other  person. — 
Til  is  has  been  often  tested  by  actual  use. 
In  gritty  soil,  where  other  Plows  have  been 
worn  out  in  plo'.ving  from  sixty  to  eighty 
acres  or  less,  it  having  already  plowed  over 
two  hundred  acres  of  the  same  ^cil  without 
bcini'-  half  worn  out.  These  I'lotvs  can  be 
procured  at  the  J  lard  ware  Store  of  John 
Ml^IuHcu,  Shakopcc. 

Ti!Y  IT  liY  ALL  Mkans. — If  any  of  OUT 
readers  have  been  troubled  to  make  light 
and  uniform  biscuit,  it  is  more  than  proba- 
Ide  they  do  not  u.st;  D.  U.  Da  J..and  i  Co.'s 
Ui\il  Chemical  tSalcalns.  "jhat  is  a  pure 
article,  not  detrimental  to  health,  and  sure 
in  its  etl'ects.  Try  it  by  all  meaiis.  h  or 
.sale  by  D.  il.  Stoi'.r. 


ti^"  The  roads  leading  into  the  country 
arc  ill  a  most  dcpUvrable  condiiioa*  It  is 
almost  impossible  for  teams  to  gel  along. 

-A-C'~  About  I'.OOO  cords  of  wood  were 
sold  at  ShaUopoe  this  week  to  parlies  buy- 
ing for   the  tt.  Paul  m.-irket,  at  \f'i  a  cord. 

£.-.u)°'The  wheat  market  has  had  a  down- 
ward teudency  lor  some  time,  a!.d  we  think 
it  has  now  touched  bottom  at  $1.40.

Ilo.'i  stood  Ihe  test  of  seven  years 
trial  Itij  the  public  ;  and  no  jtreitO" 
ration  fin'  the  hair  yet  discovere<T 
icill  produce  the  same  beneficial 
results.  Jt  is  a  new  scientific  dis- 
cover;/,  cojnbiiiing  the  most  jtower- 
fnl  iiud  restorative  agents  in  the 
VEGETABLE  KINGDOM.  Jt  restores 
GRAY  HAIR  TO  ITS  ORIGINAL  YOUTH- 
FUL COLOR.  It  makes  the  s€alj»> 
irhiie  and  dean;  cures  dandruff 
aud  humors,  and  falling  out  of  thff 
hair  ;  and  will  make  it  grow  ujHtth 
bald  heads,  except  in  very  aged 
persous,  as  it  furnishes  the  nutri- 
tive principle  by  which  the  hair 
is  nourished  and  »upjH>rtetl.  It 
makes  the  hair  moist,  soft,  atul 
gl(t.Hsif,  and  Is  unsur^possed  as  a. 
HAIROaESSING.  It  is  the  cheapest 
preparation  ever  offered  to  tho 
pub/ir,  as  otie  bottle  will  accom- 
plish more  and  last  longer  than. 
three  bottles  of  any  other  prepara- 

ti07t.

The  wonderful  results  produced

SHJlKOPEE,  MAfiCH   19,  1868. 


Protectiom  of  Foreiffn-Borm   Citizans, 

The  su!»iect  of  protecting  onr  nnlutalnzifA 
citizens  when  on  a  Tisit  to  I'heir  old  liomes, 
i%  before  Congress,  but  malies  slow  prog- 
ress. The  bill,  as  it  has  been  last  reported, 
rrc^ifos  that  the  rijrht  of  expatri«tion  is  re- 
•garded  by  the  United  States  as  an  inherent 
•one  in  all  persons,  and  one  which  the  Uni- 
ted States  will  always  protect  and  defend  ; 
that  the  United  States  have  for  ninety  years 
invited  cmij^raotR  from  all  parts  of  the 
wttnM,  ippira!i»ag  1^»cm  citizenship  and  pro- 
tection, and  thMG  promises -can not  be  sur 
rendered ;  therefore  the  American  people 
«lce!are  that  all  naturalized  clt'izons  of  the 
Cnlted  Stales,  are  entitled  as  such,  to  the 
same  national  protection  abroad  as  native 
l»om  citizeiu  could  claim,  under  siniiliir 
fircurastances. 

Jf  •re  are  to  Inve  war  upon  this  subject, 
let  us  liav«it  direct.  We  fli«8t  abandon 
<iur  naturalization  laws  or  adhere  to  them. 
I  (  we  adhere  to  them,  then  mlier  nations 
must  decide  whether  tley  will  respect  ihem, 
rftr  take  the  chances  of  war.  We  must  ac- 
repl  the  issue  of  war  with  Knj.Mand  or 
l*fuss:a  as  an  alternative  for  our  naturali- 
zation laws,  or  we  must  abandon  our 
jiati(jexaJi2T  and  let  fcrei.»n  jiorentments 
<lictate  our  iufcernal  policy.  If  we  are  r.ot 
-.WilUi^  .to  l£<^it  ^  our  naturaliziiliou  laws, 
let  us  say  ioauul  abandon  t^eni;  if  we  aie 
prejiared  lo  deieiMl  thera  at  whatever  baz 
ard,  let  us  plainly  tell  the  world  so,  and 
leave  to  other  ^jovcrnments  the  alfernalive 
*>f  war,  or  au  acceptuucc  of  our  policy.

the  father  was  hung  on  the  7th  inst.  We

Baxter  as  a  Legislator- 

"  Col.  Baxter  h.as  been  four  years  in  the 
-Smwlt*  and  fro;ii  the  daj.  he  tooU  his  scat 
in  that  body  h.as  wicldcil  as  much  influence 
ns  any  iu<n»l>«r  of  it,  and  his  efftrts  h  ivc 
all  be^n  for  the  advancement  of  the  inter- 
ests of  the  people  of  the  cou;ity  he  t-jsrc- 
«entcd." — ftfy  ctiiior. 

.\s  Mrs.  Spectiitor  is  the  J'aid  inlslrcss  of 
Baxter  aiid  the  rest  of  th«  flock  of  bu;- 
cards^  she  must  do  his  bidding,  and  we 
|»re.';ume  the  above  is  the  opinion  Ba.\t(r 
entertaius  of  himself;  but  it  is  not  the 
opinion  of  one  sii:gle  voter  in  Scott  countv. 
It  is  notorious  that  Baxter  was  the  iuost 
iiseicfls  member  in  the  whole  I^egislature 
and  entirely  destitute  of  influence  lor  good. 

X-c^er  did  he,  wliile  in  the  Legislature, 
devote  a  single  ellort  to  the  interest  of  the 
jHOple  of  the  State  or  county.  But  every 
.-windllng  concern  that  went  to  the  Logis 
litture  lo  rob  the  jjoople,  found  a  readv 
advocate  in  him.  He  voted  for  the  bogus 
railroad  bond  swindle,  to  send  the  Hastings 
railroad  Ojut  miles  from  Shakopee,  to  have 
r.ilroad  mortgages  recorded  at  St.  Paul  so 
that  the  people  c<.>ula  buy  railroad  land  and 
jiot  know  that  there  were  mortgages  on  it. 
Whatever  was  against  the  interest  of  tl  e 
jM-nple  and  in  favor  of  private  gain,  he 
would  vote  for.  He  was  very  fond  of 
postage  starn^  st&tionerj-,  Revised  Stat- 
siics,  five  dollars  «  day,  and  was  always 
3ib«r«X  «i  bis  votes  in  all  such  cases.  Dur- 
ing these  four  years  much  good  might  have 
been  I'one  lor  Shakopee,  with  a  proper  man 
■  I  the  Senate,  but  with  Baxter  there,  Shak- 
opee tvas  even  deprived  of  the  privilege  of 
running  a  free  ferry,  because  it  w.is  to  the 
lintcrest  of  Cressey  to  prevent  it.  The  pub- 
lic btnefilS  were  always  sacrificed  to  any 
privite  gain- 

We  know  just  how  and  by  what  promises 
that  ferry  charter  was  put  through  the 
tiIou«e,  aud  at  some  other  time  we  shall 
rfliselosc  our  knowledge.

SUMMARY   OF^THE   WEEK. 

Meneral   r^evra. 

Surratt's  trial  lias  bccu  postponed  to  the 
next  term,  at  the  request  of  the  prosecu- 
tion, and  is  likclj'  to  go  over  till  ilay.    . 

The  United  States  Survey ot  appointed 
to  establish  the  boundary  between  Oregon 
and  Idaho,  has  reported  the  completion  of 
the  survey. 

The  President  has,  at  the  request  cf  Gen- 
eral Sherman,  revoked  so  much  of  (Tcne- 
ral  Order  Na  10  as  assigned  General 
Sherman  to  Ihc  command  ol"  the  new  de- 
partment. 

The  United  States  Supreme  Court,  on 
the  17lh,  decided  thai  it  has  Jurisdiction  in 
the  McCardle  case,  and  will  hear  the  ar- 
gument and  pass  upon  the  case  iu  March. 
The  Chief  Clvrk  of  the  Postofficc  De- 
partment has  been  sent  to  Brooklyn,  N.  Y., 
to  take  charge  of  the  Postcffice  there,  and 
settle  up  the  offdirs  of  the  office.  The 
Postmaster  is  reported  to  be  a  defaulter  to 
the  amount  of  $00,000. 

Tho  President  sent  to  the  Senate  on  the 
t^lst  among  others  the  following  nomina- 
tions :  Geo.  B.  McClellan,  of  Ohio,  Envoy 
Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipoten- 
tiary to  England  ;  Jas.  R.  llubbell,  of  Ohio, 
Ministtr  Resitlent  to  the  Republic  of 
Equador ;  Major  General  Geo.  H.  Thomas 
to  be  Lieutenant  General  ty  brevet  and 
General  by  brevet. 

It  was  reported  in  Washington  on  the 
21st  that  the  Maryland  Legislature  was  in 
a  state  of  considerablo  excitement  over 
the  action  of  the  Senate  in  refusing  to  ad- 
mit Philip  R.  Thomas.  The  leading  mem- 
bers of  the  Legislature  met  in  secret  caucus, 
and,  it  was  understood,  resolved  to  re-elect 
Mr.  Thomas,  and  send  him  a  second  time 
to  the  door  of  the  Senate,  to  prcfcnt  his 
credentials  and  demand  admission. 

Fractional  currency  printed  f)r  the 
week  ending  February  lo,  $30,500; 
shipped,  $186  OCT ;  National  Bank  notes 
issued,  $151,810 ;  amount  in  circulation, 
$2&9,G39,22C.  The  Treasurer  holds  in 
bonds  as  security  therefor,  $341,319,800, 
and  for  deposits  of  public  m6ney, 
$37,877,950.  Fractional  currency  redeemed 
and  destroyed  for  the  week,  $59,770.  In- 
ternal revenue  receipts  for  the  week, 
$1,452,627 ;  aggregate  for  the  fiscal  year 
to  same  date,  $123,025,284. 

President  Johnson,  on  the  2 1st,  sent  a  mes- 
sage to  the  Sanate  stating  that  on  the  12th 
of  August  last,  under  the  authority  vested 
in  him  by  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States,  he  suspended  E.  M.  Stanton  as 
Secretary  of  "War,  and  now  by  the  same 
authority  he  had  removed  Mr.  Stanton 
and  appointed  in  his  plice,  ad  interim, 
Adjutant  General  Lorenzo  Thomas.  The 
following  is  the  order  for  removal  as  de- 
livered to  Mr.  Stanton  by  General  Thomas, 
and  sent  to  the  Mouse  by  Mr.  Stanton  : 

ExECCTrrE  Manmon,  ' 
WASniMOTON.i''tb  SI,  lSb8.      \ 

SiH ;  By  virtue  of  ihe  power  and  author- 
ity vested  in  me  as  President,  by  tho  Con- 
stitution and  laws  of  the  United  Statt-s, 
you  are  hereby  removed  from  office  as 
Secretary  of  War,  and  your  function.^  as 
such  will  terminate  upon  the  receipt  of 
thii  communication.  You  will  transfer  to 
Brevet  Major  General  L.  Thoma.s,  Adju- 
tant General  of  the  army,  who  has  this 
day  been  authorized  to  act  as  Secretary  of 
War  ad  interim,  all  records,  books,  papers 
and  other  public  property  now  in  your 
custody  and  charge.  Respectfully  yours, 
Andrew  JoH^sysr,  President. 
To  Hon.  E.  M.  Stanton. 

Considirable  excitement  existed  in 
Washingt  in  over  this  unexpected  move  on 
the  part  of  the  President,  and  the  Senate, 
in  prolonged  Executive  session,  passed  a 
resolution,  to  be  communicated  to  the 
President,  declaring  that  the  removal  of 
Secretary  Stanton  and  the  appointment  of 
General  Thomas,  without  the  consent  of 
the  Senate,  was  a  violation  of  law.  Late 
on  the  night  of  the  31*t  Mr.  Stanton  still 
had  possession  of  the  War  office  and  an- 
nounced his  intention  to  hold  on.  Late  at 
night  application  was  made  on  nath  before 
Chief  Justice  Carter,  of  the  District  Su- 
preme Court,  for  the  arrest  of  General 
Thomas,  for  violation  of  the  Civil  Tenure 
law,  and  the  Judge,  after  considering  the 
matter,  decided  to  issue  the  writ,  and  it 
•was  thought  General  Thomas  would  be 
arrested  on  the  22d.  It  was  believed  by 
some  in  Washington  that  the  question"  of 
the  right  of  the  President  to  thus  remove 
Stanton  would  be  decided  by  the  court's  on 
application  for  a  quo  wirranVj  in  the  Dis- 
trict Supreme  Court  to  compel  Secretary 
Sianlon  to  yield. 


under  Admiral  Farragut  at  the  eastern  end 
of  the  Mediterranean." 

Intelligence  having  been  received  In 
London  that  the  Mexican  Government 
has  determined  to  repudiate  all  its  foreign 
debts,  it  is  reported  that  Great  Britain  is 
seriously  contemplating  the  fitting  out

POLlXli^AL.    ITE3IS. 


A  Radical  paper  in  Iowa  puts  up  a 

candidate,  "  Subject  lo  the  derision  of  the 
Republican  National  Convention." 

Tho  Montgomery  (Ala.)  Adtcrtiger 

says  the  ru.'th  at  the  polls  in  that  city,  dur- 
ing the  late  election,  was  6o  great  that 
two  negroes  were  actually  fqueczed  to 
death. 

Hood,  a  colored  Conventionist,  and 

likewise  a  Presbyterian  preacher  in  North 
Carolina,  distinguished  himself  in  Con- 
vention by  moving  that  a  recess  be  taken 
till  the  circus  had  passed  the  cupitol.  The 
circus  passed,  and  Hood  cheerfully  re- 
sumed the  manufacture  of  constitutions. 

The  town  elections  thus  far  in  New 

York  have  shown  Democratic  gains  over 
the  50,000  majority  ia  1807.  The  counties 
that  have  thus  far  put  in  a  Democratic  ap- 
pearance, may  be  enumerated  as  follows  ; 
Broome,  Herkimer,  Fulton,  Otsego,  Mont- 
gomery, St.  Lawrence,  Steuben, «fec. 

The    IforicicJi    (Conn.)     Advertiser 

speaks  hopefully  of  the  success  if  the  Dem- 
ocratic party  next  April.  In  its  section  it 
Bays  "  the  Democratic  cause  is  growing 
brighter  every  day.  Not  a  day  passes  that 
we  do  not  hear  of  or  .converse  with  men 
who  have  heretofore  opposed  u:,  who  are 
now  earnest  and  outspoken  in  their  deter- 
mination to  vole  for  English." 

The  Elyto:i  (Ala.)  Jlcrald  says  that 

Dr.  Thomas  Hughes,  while  going  to  the 
Radical  meeting  at  Moulton,  intimidated  a 
respectable  widow,  at  whose  house  ho 
stopped,  into  admitting  two  negroes  trav- 
eling with  him  to  her  table  and  beds,  say- 
ing that  under  the  new  Constitution  she 
was  subject  to  a  line  of  $50  for  refusing. 
Such  are  the  practical  results  of  Radical 
doctrines. 

Thad.  Stevens  has  always  enjoyed  a 

prophetic  reputation  with  the  Radical 
llepublican  party.  He  now  prophesies 
that  the  Radical  Republican  party  is 
dead  ;  and  that  New  York,  Pennsylvania, 
Uhio,  aud  several  other  Northern 
States  will  go  against  it  at  the  next  elec- 
tion. According,  then,  to  accepted  Rad- 
ical belief,  the  llepublican  parly  of 
this  country  has  about  given  up  the  ghost. 

On  the  14th  inst.  the  charter  election 

took  place  in  Reading,  Pa.  Tho  Demo- 
cratic candidate  f)r  City  Auditor  was 
chosen  by  330  majority,  a  Democratic  gain 
of  855  on  the  veto  of  last  year.  Although 
Berks  county,  of  which  Reading  is  tho 
county  seat,  is  the  strongest  Democratic 
county  in  the  State,  the  Philadelphia  Age 
says  such  a  cl^angc  cannot  bo  misunder-* 


stood.  It  is  not  due  to  local  causes.  They 
are  not  powerful  enough  to  produce  it. 
Tho  reason  for  the  alteration  must  be 
looked  for  in  the  action  of  Congress,  by 
which  one  half  of  the  Union  ia  given  into 
the  hand.s  of  negroes,  and  the  white  men 
of  the  other  half  taxed  to  pay  for  this  es- 
perimcD.t.

hold  himself  bound  to  surrender  back  to 
the  President  powers  which  ho  derived 
solely  from  the"  President,  he  may  not  be 
ready,  at  the  proper  time,  to  surrender  to 
the  people  powers  which  they  may  intrust 
to  him.  Instead  of  being  a  safe  man,  he 
may  be  the  most  dangerous  man  in  the 
country  to  wh<^.ui  the  people  could  confide 
their  interests." 

-The  SpriitgOeld  (Mass.)  RtpuUican 


(Rep.)  says  that,  "if  the  Alabama  Consti 
tulion  is  deftattd,  as  sctms  likely,  there  is 
no  cauie  for  regret."    It  gives  the  f allow- 
ing reasons. 

"  The  purpos'j  of  tuc  cltctiou  Las  devel- 
oped more  plainly  and  forcibly  than  any- 
thing has  or  could  the  reasons  why  the 
Constitution  ought  not  to  succeed,  and 
why  the  prefent  c:out.^e  of  reconstruction 
ought  to  stop.  Because  it  is  proven  not 
to  be  reconstruction  in  any  true,  adequate 
and  lasting  sense,  and  until  that  is  loimd 
and  accepted  far  better  military  rule  and 
'unlimited  Gen.  Grant.'  Alabama  and 
the  re?t  of  the  seceded  States  should  be 
given  Coustitulior.s  free  from  the  disfran- 
chising and  unju.stly  discriminating  arti- 
cles of  that  iio'.v  pending,  «nd  which  shall 
aflbid  a  broad,  liberal  and  permanent  basis 
for  the  Goveniiueut,  one  which  will  give 
the  right  of  buflrage  to  whiles  and  blacks 
alike,  and  all  mvn  on  the  eamc  terms." 

"Senator  Drake,"  says  the  N.  T. 

Tiines,  "  did  his  part  in  the  Senate  on 
Wednesday  toward  viadlcatiug  the  rights 
of  colored  ladies  to  seats  in  railroad  ciirs 
reserved  lor  white  people.  But  he  put  his 
championship  of  the  lady  concerned  on 
rather  a  dillcrent  bisis  from  that  taken  by 
hid  CO  crusaders.  They  insisted  on  redrccs 
for  the  wronij  li:rause  the  Euflerer  was  a 
CDlored  person.  Mr.  Drake  declared  the 
ciee  was  one  of  great  hardship  because 
th^;  lady  was  of  a  very  superior  char:icter, 
•  and  had  no  moic  tho  appearance  of  a 
negro  than  many  who  move  in  the  best 
society  iu  Wn-liington.'  The  Senator 
weakened  his  cisc  very  much  by  that  ad- 
mission. If  the  lady  is  so  nearly  white, 
what  business  has  she  to  monopolize  the 
attention  of  tbc  Senate  for  a  whole  day  ? 
We  shall  have  persons  who  are  wholly 
white  dcmandinsj  redicst  presently,  if  Mr. 
Drake's  argument  is  pas.sed  over  without 
rebuke." 

The  black  ILidicals  of  the  black  and 


tan  Constitutional  Conventions  are  very 
thin  'fcklnncd.  In  tbe  North  Carolina 
Convention  thiy  proposed  to  exclude  all 
reporters  for  the  press  who  made  any  dis- 
tinction between  mcmbeis  by  calling  them 
negnes  and  otbcis  white.  In  the  South 
Carolina  Convention  thty  excluded  frcm 
the  floor  of  the  Convention  and  ihe  re- 
porttiirs'  desk  the  reporter  of  the  Mercury 
because  he  gave  sketches  of  all  the  mem- 
bers, including  the  black  majority.  In 
Richmond  an  attempt  was  made  to  regu- 
late the  press  by  censuring  the  designation 
of  the  Macks  by  tbe  uanie  ol  negroc.s.  A 
reporter  in  the  Mississippi  Convention 
committed  the  giave  ollence  of  omitting 
the  title  of  "  Mister  "'  in  giving  the  names 
of  nepro  delcgAtes.  A  motion  was  made 
by  the  darki'.a  to  expel  any  "  reporter 
who  makes  f.  distinction  iu  members  of 
the  Convention."  This  motion  failed  to 
pass  by  only  thr<  e  votes. 

Another  is  added  to  the  long   list  of 

atrocities  committed  by  the  negroea  at  tiie 
South.  A  constable  of  Charleston,  S.  C, 
Mr.  Fraser  Mnithowp,  while  attempting  to 
execute  a  warrant  agiiust  a  colored  thief 
on  a  plantation  near  Beaufort,  was  met  by 
all  the  negroe.^  on  tho  place,  armed,  and  un- 
der the  leadership  of  one  of  their  number, 
who  were  determined  to  resist  his  author- 
ity. The  most  brutal  language  was  used, 
tho  lawless  mob  threatened  to  "  shoot  tho 
constable  down  like  a  dog"  it  he  persisted 
in  the  discharge  of  big  duty.  The  negroes 
seized  Mr.  Matthews,  wrenched  tbe  gun 
from  hi.s  hands  aud  pinioned  his  arms. 
When  thus  mridc  powerless,  the  cowardly 
wretches  delibeiatcly  shot  him  down,  the 
ball  enttiing  his  head  just  below  the  ear, 
and  he  almost  instantly  expired.  The  ne- 
gro who  tlryd  the  fatal  shen  boasted  pub- 
licly of  the  act,  and  said  it  was  of  "no 
more  conse-quenca  ihan  the  s-hooting  of  a 
dog."  It  ia  to  such  savages  as  these  that 
Congress  proposes  to  entrnsl  the  govern- 
ing power  of  the  South. 

Tho    New    York    Times    (Radical) 

says: 

"It  is  quite  natural  that  Democratic 
journals  sliouMlook  to  tho  ascendancy  of 
tho  Democratic  party  aa  a  euro  for  all  thu 
evils  not  only  ot  liidicalism  but  of  every- 
thing else.  We,  who  do  not  belong  to  the 
Democratic  party,  can  take  no  sucii  cheer- 
ful view  of  the  caje.  We  admit  that  the 
success  of  that  purty  at  the  coming  Presi- 
dential election  would  correct  some  of  the 
evils  with  which  the  country  is  threatened 
by  Radical  supremacy.  It  would  restore 
to  tho  Government  the  checks  and  bal- 
ances of  tho  Constitution.  It  would  pre- 
vent the  practical  deposition  of  the  Ex- 
ecutive, thy  overthrow  of  the  authority  of 
tho  Supreme  Court,  and  the  absorption  of 
all  the  powers  id  tlit;  G')vernmcnl  by  Con- 
gress, without  any  of  the  checlis  aud  re- 
straints upon  popular  passion  which  the 
Constitution  intended  to  provide." 

If  the  succe53  of  tho  Democratic  party 
would  do  for  our  distrac'.ea  country  only 
what  the  Tmes  is  willing  to  concede,  this 
is  reason  enough,  and  more  than  enough, 
why  every  goeid  citizen  thould  vole  the 
Democrafic  ticket.  We  want  the  Consti- 
tution pure  and  simple,  ia  all  i'.s  integrity 
—and  the  defeat  of  Radicalism  alone  can 
restore  it  to  us. 


TuE  suicide  of  Rev.  Mr.  Brash,  at  Del-

—A  paper  recently  real  before  the

that  the  income  of  ail  cU'.sses  ot  popula- 
tion ol  England,  Ireland  and  Scotland  is 
£82 1,37^,000 per  annum.  The  sum  appears

— A  rival  for  Margueritte  Obenreiscr, 
the  heroine  of  "No Thoroughfare,''  in  her 
daiing  enterprise  of  descending  iu  the  re- 
cess of  Alpine  snows,  has  been  fi>und  iu  a 
Miss  Mary  Walker,  a  young  English  lady. 
Miss  Wilker  has  scaled  even  the  most  in- 
accessible peaks  of  Berne,  but  her  audac- 
ity in  overcoming  the  diflicullies  cf  ex- 
ploration amounts  to  fooihardincsg.  At 
the  summit  of  a  very  dangerous  glacier, 
leaving  the  guides,  she  proceeded  to  the 
very  extremity  of  a  narrow  projection  of 
ice,  resembling  a  bird's  beak;  the  path 
was  incrnsted  with  snow,  and  hardly  wiiier 
than  a  steep  house  top,  and  here  to  gratify 
her  penscless  ambition,  she  stood  with 
thousands  of  li^et  of  empty  space  beneath 
her,  while  her  attendants  trembled  v.ith 
fright.  The  accounts  of  the  lady's  person- 
al appearance  vary ;  while  one  admirer 
pays  she  is  delicate  looking  aud  of  slight 
frame,  a  more  impartial  observer  describes 
her  H8  stout,  and  as  displaying  the  mus- 
cular development  of  a  man.

Our  Radical  opponent.?  with  remarkable 
self-complacency  speak  of  themselves  ai 
"  the  people,"  "  ihe  nation,"  "the  country," 
embellishing  their  self  glorification  with 
the  title  of  "the  loyal  people."  Authen- 
tic figures  are  given  which  will  fake  our 
Radical  friends  down  a  jieg  or  two.  They 
appear  to  be  in  a  minority  among  the  peo- 
ple. A  vote  of  nineteen  States  last  fall 
shows  l,622,'.i73  Democrats  and  1,507,J"66 
Radicals,  or  a  majority  of  G5,lo7  for 
the  Dcmoeiacy.  In  thrfe  nineteen 
States,  Indiana  and  Illinois  arc  not 
included,  for  the  elections  there  were  only 
local.  But  the  Democratic  vote  in  those 
States  was  such  that  if  added  to  the  fig- 
ures we  have  given  there  would  be  an  in- 
creased majojity.  And  yet  the  mon- 
8trou3  injustice  appears  that,  whereas  the 
Democracy  are  iu  tho  msjority  in  ihose 
nineteen  States,  yet  they  have  only  seven 
Senators  in  Congress,  while  the  Radicalg 
havo  twenty-seven,  and  while  the  Demo- 
crats hfive  only  foily-two  Representatives, 
the  Radicals  have  one  hundred  and  one ! 
'J'he  country  may  well  inquire  how  is  thisv 
And  as  it  makes  the  icquiry  it  perceives 
that  the  Radieah  have  ceased  to  be  "  iLc 
people,"  and  that  their  overwhelming  ma- 
jority in  Congress  ia  a  contradiction  of 
iho  "  will  of  the  people,"  as  expressed  at 
the  polls  iu  1S07.  Congress  which  so  oft- 
en pretends  really  to  believe  that  it  rep- 
resents the  nation,  is  proved,  by  the  fig- 
ures to  which  we  refer,  to  represent  only 
a  minority,  aud  all  its  legislation  now  is 
expressive  only  of  the  will  of  the  mere 
minority  it  represents.— J/ty«i)i!rt  Iki^ubli-

A:itE€l>OTE9  OF  IIOGH. 

London  Socuty  (urnishcs  the  following 
stories  of  "  Dogs  of  Note  "  : 

A  Denunciatiog  Do?,  be&nvy  tLe  singu- 
lar name  of  "  Bristol,"  13  recorJcd  in  the 
judicial  a&nals  of  the  Houth  <^f  Franrc.  It 
dates  from  the  year  171S, 

A  Marseilles  paper-merchant  went  to 
make  purchases  at  Toulon.  That  done,  he 
life  Toulon  to  tetorn  to  MarecilltB  His 
wife  and  son,  apprised  cf  his  departure, 
awaited  his  coming.  For  four  long  days 
Ihty  waited  in  vain,  in  a  state  of  fearful 
and  ever-increasing  anxiety.  On  the  morn- 
ing of  the  fifth  da}',  their  dog,  who  had 
accompanied  his  master  in  his  journey, 
arrived  alone.  The  poor  creature  was  in 
a  pitiable  state  Every  sound  of  his 
voice,  every  movement  he  made,  an- 
nounced the  deepest  grief.  He  licked  his 
mistress'  hands,  lay  down  at  her  feet,  and 
began  to  howl. 

■•  Misfortune  has  come  to  the  house, '  the 
said.  "  A  presettiment  of  evil  chokes  my 
breath.  If  your  father  should  be  dead ! 
The  Lord  have  pity  on  ui- !  " 

"  If  you  wish,  mother,  I  sm  ready  to  go 
m  search  of  him." 

"  Gi>,  my  boy  ;  go,  by  all  meau.9.  Take 
Bristol  with  you.  He  will  be  sure  to  lead 
yo'i  to  his  master,  alive  or  dead." 

Bristol,  hearing  what  was  said,  rose  to 
his  feet  and  walked  slowly  towardd  the 
door.  The  yuung  man  saddled  a  good 
horse,  and  set  off  at  once  upon  hi3  misiion. 
He  did  not  return  until  the  following  day. 
During  the  whole  time  of  his  absence  his 
mother  had  prayed  and  wept. 

"  You  ^re  alone,"  she  said  ;  •'  I  under- 
stand what  that  means.  Your  father  is  no 
more,  and  I  am  left  a  wiJow." 

He  knelt  by  her  side,  and  Bristol 
licked  their  hand^  while  thev  vrept  to- 
gether. 

"  Wiiiit  infof  matioQ  have  you  obtaice-'  y" 
she  asked. 

'  My  ffilhcr  has  been  murdered  in  the 
forest  of  Coguiou." 

For  a  whole  nioulh  the  authunlics  on 
one  band,  and  thewidow  and  her  eon  on 
the  other,  made  every  ettoii  to  discover 
the  murderer ;  but  all  in  vain  ;  ihev  could 
not  tven  tfaid  out  any  iDdivtdual  upon 
whom  they  could  tis  a  reasonable  suspicion. 
Six  months  elapstd.  The  attention  of  the 
otficers  of  justice  being  directed  to  more 
recent  crimes,  they  thought  no  more  of  the 
paper-merchant.  But  tho^e  he  had  lefl  still 
mourned  his  loss.  Bristol  had  lost  all  his 
gayety.  He  spent  whole  hours  sorrowfully 
stretched  on  a  little  straw  in  the  court- 
yard of  the  house. 

One  evening,  while  following  his  young 
taaster  about  the  town,  he  entered  with 
him  into  a  cafe  in  which  Ecveral  strangers 
wtre  assembled.  The  young  man  took 
his  seat  at  a  table  beside  a  couple  of  ac- 
quaintances, and  Bristol,  having  noihing 
better  to  do,  beguiled  the  time  by  walking 
up  and  down  the  room.  Suddenly,  after 
uttering  a  low  growl,  he  furiously  tlew  at 
a  tall  man  who  was  amusing  himself  with 
a  game  uf  draughts. 

The  man,  in  alarm,  c  ditd  out  for  help. 
The  guests  rose  from  their  scats  and 
crowded  round  him.  They  tried  to  keep 
the  dog  back;  they  beat  him  .severely 
about  the  head  and  loins ;  but  all  to  no 
purpose.  It  only  redoubled  Bristol's  fury. 
lie  paid  no  attention  to  the  persona  who 
maltreated  him  ;  all  his  rage  was  directed 
■against  the  man  who  was  playing  draughts. 
As  soon  as  he  was  driven  iff,  he  attac  .ed 
him  again.  He  tore  his  clothes  and  bit 
his  legs. 

"  This  is  insulTerable.  abominable !  " 
shouted  the  bystanders,  addressing  Bristol's 
owner.  '*  Call  oil  your  dug,  and  take  him 
out  of  the  room."_V  _  ' 

With  some  difficulty  the  young  man  suc- 
ceeded in  making  the  enraged  animal 
loose  his  hold,  and  could  find  no  other 
means  of  caiming  him  except  "uy  carrying 
him  quitQ^out  of  the  cafe.  But  before 
they  had  set  a  hunelred  .steps,  Biislol  lefc 
bis  mailer,  returned  to  the  cafe,  and 
again  attacked  the  tall  thin  stranger. 
Once  more  the  young  man  was  obliged 
to  use  force  to  separate  the  dog  from  his 
enemy. 

Amongst  the;  witnesses  of  thifl  terrible 
scene  there  happened  to  be  a  commercial 
gentleman  who  had  formerly  been  inti- 
mately acquainted  with  the  paper-mer- 
chant. Pale  and  trembling  with  emotion, 
he  approached  the  young  man,  and  in- 
quireet  in  a  wiiiiper,  "When  your  talher 
took  hie  unfortunate  journey  to  '^'oidon, 
ha<i  he  thif  dog  with  him  v ' 

"  Ves,"  replied  the  paper-merchant's 
son.  "Bristol  even  reached  our  house 
before  the  disaster  which  has  ruined  us 
was  known." 

During  this  secret  conversation,  Bristol, 
whom  bia  master  held  io  check  by  means 
of  a  rope  tied  rouad  hi'*  neck,  mado  extra- 
ordinary ctlbrts  to  get  loose. 

"I    nAy  be  mistaken,"  the  other  con- 
tinued, «'but  It  is  just  possible  this  man 
may  be  jour  father's  murderer.     Bemain  1 
here  while  all  tb^se  people  are   talking! 
amongst  themselves  aboui  what  has  hup 
peacd ;  Twill  run  to  the  Commi^saite  do 
Police  for  a  force  6uffici<?nt  to  arrest  the 
man."     • 

In  a  quarter  of  an  bourhe  came  back

filled  the  public-house.    The  buspected  in- 1 
dividual  was  at  once  arrested,  and  con- 1 
ducted  forthwith  to  prison.    On  searching  I 
him,  they  found  upon  him  the  paper-mer-  ' 
chant's  watch  and  several  other  trinkets' 
which  were  iJentided  as  having  been  his 
property.    The  possession  of  those  articles 
was  a  strong  presumption  o(  the  prisoner's

iterated    protestations  of   innocence,    he ! 
avowed  the  crime  to  his  confessor  at  the  '

In  a  dismal  kind  of  a  way; 
And  all  that  he  did,  whatever  befel,

And  the  foeman'a  power  is  broke,  '

And  answered  with  a  croak. 

Croak,  croak,  croak. 
When  the  clouds  are  dark  and  diiu. 

And  croak,  croak,  croak. 
In  the  blaxo  of  the  noontide  sun. 

"  Good  Mr.  Froip,  the  forcea  of  Rfstt.

And  croaks  oat  "Awn*  Virroiu!" 

Croak,  croak,  cioah.

Till  tho  world  sceiha  but  a  tomb. 

To  poison  the  cup  ol  life 

By  always  dreading;  the  worst,

And  croak,  croak,  croak. 
Till  the  world  seems  but  a  tomb. 


I  intelligent  animal  whrt  usually  slept  in  his 
private  apartments. 

One  night  (in  February,  1867,)  being 
awakened  by  furious  barking,  he  imme- 
diately ro!e,  went  down  to  the  shop,  found 
the  street-d.x)r  open,  and  searching  in  all 
directions,  could  find  nobody.  He  there- 
fore unchained  his  dog,  who  soon  hit  upon 
a  scent,  followed  it  into  the  street,  and  then, 
after  stopping  at  a  neighboring  house, 
came  back  to  his  master,  gave  a  peculiar 
and  significant  growl,  and  tben  returned 
to  track  the  same  scent  several  times  over. 
His  whole  behavior  seemed  to  indicate  that 
the  individual  who  had  entered  the  shop 
had  taken  refuge  in  that  house.  This  cir- 
cumstance confirmed    the  suspicions  M. 

T entertained   respecting  hi.s  nephew 

O ,  who  lodged  in  that  house,  whom  he 

presumed  to  be  the  author  of  the  various 
thefts. 

Consequently,  while  acquainting  the 
(Jommissaire  de  Police  witii  the  robbery, 
he  at  the  came-time  communicated  his  sus- 
picions. G was  sent  for  and  interro- 
gated. He  denied  all  knowledge  of  the 
matter,  and  was  highly  indignant  at  the 
accusation.  There  bemg  no  proof  what- 
ever againnl  him,  he  was  on  the  point 
of  being  dismissed,  when  the  Commis- 
saire  had  the  ingenious  idea  of  mak- 
ing an  experiment  which  might  help 
him  to  discover  the  truth.  He  requested 
seveial  persona  to  come  into  his  office, 
and  amongst  them  he  placed  the  defend- 
ant G .    He  then  caused  the  grocer 

and  his  dog  to  enter.  At  a  signal  from  the 
Commis-saire,  the  grocer  said  to  the  dog 
one  single  word,  "  Cherche ! " — "  Find  !  " 

The  clever  creature  went  several  times 
round  the  circle  formed  by  the  persons 
present.    Each  time  he  stopped  it.  front  of 

G ,  giving  the  peculiar  growl  which  he 

had  uttered  when  he  found  the  trace  of 
the  thief 

"  You  see,"  taid    the    Commissalre  to 

G ,  "  it  is  useless  to  d?ny  it :  the  dog 

knows  you  again." 

Completely  upset  by  this  singular  evi- 
dence, G avowed  that  he  really  was 

the  guilty  party,  and  was  left  to  be  dealt 
with  by  the  law. 

Poodle — for  such  was  his  name,  and  it  is 
curious  how  fond  foreigners  are  of  giving 
English  names  to  their  dogs, — Poodle  was 
a  dog  of  note  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

Frederick  Schwartz,  a  merchant  retired 
from  business  in  Darmstadt,  occupied  his 
leisure  hours,  which  were  many,  almost 
exclusively  with  music.  His  passion  for 
the  art  acquired  such  an  intensity  that  he 
required  every  one  alxiut  him  to  fall  in 
with  his  musical  predilections  by  either 
vocal  or  instrumental  co-operation.  There 
was  not  a  member  ol  his  household  who 
could  not  take  a  part  in  the  family  con- 
cert. Even  tho  maid  of  all  work,  in  case 
of  need,  conkl  make  out  one  of  Schubert's 
melodies  or  an  opera  cavatina.  Poodle, 
the  dog,  was  the  only  one  unable  to  render 
any  musicdl  assistance. 

As  worthy  Herr  Schwartz  felt  tho  utter 
impossibility  of  making  Pooelle  afford  any 
practical  aid,  he  determined  to  train  him 
to  fill  the  office  of  critic  in  his  own  har- 
monious community.  He  succeeded,  too, 
by  an  ingenious  mt-lhod.  Whenever  a 
note  out  of  tune  proceeded  from  a  voice 
or  an  instrument :  every  time  that  a  music- 
al fault  was  committed  by  any  member  of 
the  family, — and  such  faults  were  com- 
mitted purposely,— the  rod  was  applied  to 
Poodle's  back,  and  ho  naturally  began  to 
bark  and  howl.  He  was  exactly  in  the 
posiiion  of  the  whipping-boy,  who  pur 
hued  his  6111(31*8  with  tho  Royal  Prince. 
Whenever  the  Prince  made  a  grammatical 
blunder,  the  wLippiog-boy  had  to  smart 
for  it. 

Before  lung,  simple  threats  were  sub- 
si  ituted  for  smitings  of  his  (Poodle's) 
back ;  afterwards  a  look  sufficed  to  set  the 
creature  barking ;  and  little  by  little  Poodle 
familiarized  him.»elf  with  wro.:g  notes  and 
other  musical  atiocities,  until  at  last  a  mis- 
take' could  not  be  committed  without  his  re- 
buking it  either  by  a  bark  or  a  growl.  He 
thus  btcaiie,  as  far  as  music  was  concerned, 
the  most  impartial  judge,  tho  most  cm- 
sclenlious  critic  in  tho  whole  grand  duchy 
of  Hesse-Darmstadt. 

I'nfortunately,  his  appreciation  of  music 
al  art  was  completely  and  solely  negative. 
He  bestowed  no  praise,  but  only  blame. 
Sing  with  expression,  perform  with  talent, 
the  dog  would  remain  impassive  and  cold  : 
but  at  the  slightett  iucorrectotss  of  into- 
nation he  ground  his  teeth,  lashed  his  tail, 
growled,  yelped,  and  barked  aloud.  Bo 
long  as  he  flourished,— and  he  may  flourish 
still, — not  a  concert  or  an  opera  was  rc- 
be&rsed  in  Darmstadt  without  inviting 
Herr  Frederick  Schwartz  r.nd  his  dog, — 
but  more  especially  the  dog.  If  the  prima 
donna  made  the  filightest  sbp,  the  dog 
I'lOked  at  his  master  with  an  air  of  disap- 
probmion.  If  the  haulbi^ys  came  in  too 
late.  Poodle  pricked  up  his  tars ;  it  tho 
clarionet  hurried  tbe  movement,  Poodle 
fidgeted  on  his  bench  ;  if  tho  kettle-drum- 
mer broke  the  time,  Poodle uttereel  audible 
murmurs,  in  fact,  no  piece  was  considered 
properly  executed  unless  the  canine  con- 
noisseur remained  quiet  on  his  seat. 

Nor  mutt  it  be  supposed  that  Poodle's 
instinct  was  limited  to  forming  a  judgment 
of  tho  execution  only.  His  intelligence, 
trained  by  hearing  classical  works,  seemed 
to  have  penetrated  some  of  the  secrets  of 
composition.  An  abrupt  modulation,  a 
falte  resolution,  would  produce  symptoms 
of  doubt  on  Poodle's  nozzle  :  consecutive 
filths  mide  him  .shudder,  and  a  halting 
melody  set  hia  teeth  on  edge.  Sometimes 
Herr  Schwartz  and  his  intimate  friends, 
in  the  privacy  of  a  snug  little  quartette 
parly,  would  amuse  themselves  by  pro- 
ducing discordant  sounds,  for  the  sake  of 
tormenting  the  sensitive  animal.  On  such 
odcasiems  Poodle  lost  all  self  command: 
his  hair  sI'XkI  on  end.  his  eyes  became 
bloodshot,  and  frightful  bowlings  answered 
to  the  discord  produced  by  the  fiddles  of 
the  mystidcators.  Moreover,  tl)ey  were 
obliged  to  keep  within  certain  bounds. 
Poodle  possessed  only  a  limited  stock  of 
forbearance.  If  the  cacophony  waa  too 
intense  or  too  prolonged.  Poodle,  carrying 
out  his  sen.  e  of  duty,  upset  everything. 
Music  stjind,  ii:usic  tools,  and  instruments, 
^ere  strewed  in  confusion  about  therkom. 

Finally,  negotiations  are  in  progress  for 
the  engagement  of  Poodle — or,  if  he  be 
superannu.ited  and  retired  on  half-pay,  of 
one  of  his  descendants — to  attend  the  mu- 
sical entertainments  to  be  given  in  London 
during  the  current  winter.  W«  shall  see 
to  how  many  the  four-looted  critic  will 
listen  Aiih  placid  and  undisturbed  atten- 
tion. 

Begging  docs  are  far  from  rare;  wo  find 
tuem  tt  every  fair  and  every  market ;  but 
they  arc  beggars  of  low  degree,  and  if  not 
poor  (probably  often  the  contrary),  at 
least  profes6ii3g"  poverty.  Genteel  beggar 
de^gs  bemg  more  uncommon,  we  produce  a 
good  specimen  of  the  class. 

Sanelolet,  Chevalier  de  Saint  Louis,  afler 
STving  for  nearly  forty  years  under  the 
greatest  captains  of  the  age  of  Louis  XIV., 
found  himself  forced  to  hang  ud  his  sword 
upon  a  nail.  "  Forced  '  unfortunately 
Wiis  tbe  word  ;  for  he  had  grown  old  and 
feeble,  without  reckoning  a  score  of 
wounds,  the  least  of  whicU.  now,  w^ould 
pri!cure  his  admission  to  tbe  Invalides. 
One  of  his  contemporaries  has  sketched 
nis  portrait ;  "  His  wrinkled  face  is  that 
ot  a  mummified  frog.  He  lost  his  nose  at 
the  battle  of  Fleurus ;  his  right  eye  at  the 
passage  of  the  Raine  ;  an  arm  on  the  field 
of  SleinkeKiue;  tbe  left  thigh  at  Mal- 
plaquet;  anet  his  lower  jaw,  carried  away 
by  a  ball  at  the  siege  of  Valenciennes,  has 
been  replaced,  more  or  less  efficiently,  by 
an  artificial  substitute. " 

It  would  be  difficult  to  find  a  nhevalier 
of  any  order  more  complolely  dilapidated, 
and  at  the  same  lime  continuing  to  exist. 
It  appears  that,  in  Fpite  of  his  defective 
jaw,  Sandolet  had  an  excellent  appetite. 
Unfortunately,  he  has  only  a  franc  and  a 
half,  or  fifteen  pence,  per  day,  to  supply 
his  wants.  That  motlerate  income  was  in- 
sufficient ,  and  it  often  happened  that  he 


bad  neither  roast  liaeatln  Xh€  cnpboard, 
nor  bread  on  the  shelf,  nor  a  sou  in  his 
purse  to  keep  the  Devil  out  of  U. 

Nevertheless,  Sandolet  had  a  dog  who 
answered  to  the  name  of  Capucin.  Histo- 
ry not  having  recorded  why  the  name  waa 
given  him  in  preference  to  any  other,  we 
are  obliged  to  do  as  hi.'^tory  has  done. 
Weary  of  fasting  and  waiting  for  the  larks 
to  fall  into  his  mouth  ready  to  roast,  San- 
dolet came  to  the  logical  conclusion  that, 
since  he  had  a  dog,  which  dog  helped  him 
to  consume  his  revenue,  it  was  only  fair 
that  the  said  dog,  for  his  part,  should 
render  some  service  in  return.  To  the 
dog's  collar  he  therefore  fastened  a  leather 
purse,  into  which  when  ho  put  a  letter, 
Capucin  carried  it  to  its  address.  It  was 
a  petition  for  pecuniary  assistance  from 
some  generous  person  of  tho  old  soldier'a 
acquaintanco 

When  the  cupboard  was  bare,  Sandolet 
opened  the  eloor,  and  calling  the  dog,  said 
to  him,  *'  Come,  Capucin,  you  see  the 
hutch  is  empty.  You  must  set  to  work, 
mon  ami,  and  try  what  you  can  do." 

At  which  Capucin  mournfully  bowed 
h'S  head,  shook  his  ears,  tucked  his  tail 
between  his  legs,  and  began  to  bark— a 
pantomime  which,  interpreted,  said,  "I 
understand,  Ma.<»ier  ia  hungry,  and  so  is  his 
dog," 

The  letter  deposited  in  its  receptacle, 
Sandolet  said,  "Go  to  such  or  such  a 
place."  Tne  docile  mebseuger  obeyed, 
and  presented  huntelf  to  the  party  indi- 
cated with  a  humble  and  submissive  air. 
Ho  then  raised  his  head  to  show  th-;  letter. 
Often,  while  waiting  for  the  answer, 
Capucin,  to  beguile  the  time,  found  his 
way  to  the  kitchen,  where  they  rarely  re- 
fused him  a  morsel  of  meat.  VVhen  at  last 
he  got  the  answer,  always  inclosing  apiece 
of  money,  he  returned  to  his  master  as  fast 
as  hi.s  legs  could  carry  him,  and  would 
contrive  to  make  ten  or  twelve  such  visits 
In  the  course  f)f  a  morning.  The  collec- 
tion ended,  the  master  and  the  dog  em- 
braceel  each  other. 

Sandolet  then  made  a  grand  display 
upon  the  table  of  six,  twelve,  and  twenty- 
four  sou  pieces,  and  sometimes  even  of 
three  and  six-franc  crowns^all  of  which 
now  are  obsolete— Capucin  looking  on 
with  an  approving  air.  The  veteran,  slap- 
ping his  wooden  leg  with  hia  only  hand, 
would  exclaim,  "  Bravo,  Capucin !  bravo, 
my  dog  t  You  have  brought  me  Balm  of 
Gilead  this  morning." 

The  rack  was  stored  and  the  manger 
filled  with  provisions  for  se-veral  days  to 
come. 

But  dogs  will  cater  for  friends  of  their 
own  species  as  well  as  for  human  proterjes. 
A  butcher  and  grazier,  named  Drouhin, 
re.-idlngat  Semur,  istheowner  of  a  capital 
setter  called  Blaireau,  t.  e.  badger.  Blaireau, 
very  handsome  and  thorough  bred,  would 
make  a  fiist  rale  sporting  dog;  but  his 
master  prefers  to  intrust  him  with  the  cus- 
tody of  beasts  which  ha  turns  out  to  grass 
and  afterwards  sells  in  tho  environs  of 
Paris.  At  a  sign  from  his  master  he  sets 
off  alone  for  the  pasture  where  the  bul- 
k>ck8  are  grazing.  On  arriving,  he  first 
runs  quite  round  the  meadow,  then  stejps, 
looks  at  the  cattle,  and  seema  to  count 
them.  That  done,  he  lies  down  at  some 
distance  from  them,  but  always  in  such  a 
way  as  to  keep  them  in  sight.  At  dusk, 
Blaireau  quits  the  pasture  and  leisurely 
trots  home  again. 

One  day  he  found  along  the  road  an- 
other dog,  of  about  his  own  size,  who  lay 
behind  a  bush  uttering  plaintive  cries. 
Whether  through  curiosity  or  a  moK  be- 
nevolent motive,  Blaireau  halted  and  ex- 
amined the  stranger,  whom  he  found 
quite  worn  out  and  frightfully  thin,  and 
who  had,  moreover,  a  large  wound  in  his 
thigh,  which  appeared  to  have  been  made 
by  the  blade  ot  a  scythe.  The  wound  had 
ceased  to  bleed,  but  it  was  covered  with 
clotted  blood  and  caked  over  with  dirt  and 
dust  It  had  been  inflicted  three  or  four 
days  ago,  and,  acording  to  all  appear- 
ance, the  poor  creature  daring  that  time 
had  taken  no  nourishment  whatever.  He 
evidently  suflered  quite  a9  much  from  fa- 
tigue and  exhaustion  as  from  the  effects  of 
the  wound. 

On  seeing  another  dog  approach  him, 
the  invalid  appeared  to  take  courage  and 
revive.  He  j)robably  had  dragged  himself 
to  that  spot  in  order  to  die  behind  the 
thicket ;  and  now,  when  ho  believed  him- 
self completely  abandoned.  th»-re  arrived 
a  friend,  perUap.n  a  savior!  lie  fixed  on 
Blaireau  a  supplicating  luok,  and  then, 
with  a  groan,  preeenieel  his  wounded  limb, 
as  much  as  to  say,  'Only  see  what  a  pitia- 
ble state  I  am  in.  Try  what  you  can  do 
to  help  me,  there's  a  good  fellow." 

Blaireau  in  his  way  responded  to  the 
appeal.  He  first  smelt  al  the  patient's 
wound,  and  then  set  to  work  to  lick  it. 
Thj  operation  finished,  he  tried  to  lead 
his  friend  away.  Tbe  poor  creaturo  could 
just  manage  to  .stand,  but  walking  waa 
quite  out  of  the  question  After  trying  to 
set  a  step  or  two  he  fell  back  on  the  grass 
wllh  a  stifled  groan.  What  was  to  be 
done  now  ?  Blaireau  seemed  to  reflect  for 
a  moment,  and  then  set  rft'  for  the  town 
as  hard  as  he  could  go. 

His  first  care  on  reaching  his  master's 
house  was  to  viiit  the  spot  where  the  re- 
mains left  alter  meak  wero  set  apait  lor  his 
use.  That  day  Ihere  happened  to  be  noth- 
ing, which  was  not  enough,  and  Blaireau 
was  not  the  dog  to  be  satisfied  with  that. 
He  therefore  boldly  entered  the  shop 
wheie  the  butcher  and  his  man  were  cut- 
ting up  the  meni  for  to  morrow's  sale. 

He  had  formed  his  plan ;  to  carry  it 
out  he  began  by  treating  his  master  to  an 
extra  allovCance  of  extra-fond  c tresses ; 
and  as  soon  as  he  judged  ihe  moment  pro 
pitious,  he  placed  his  two  forefeet  upim 
the  stall,  selected  a  pit-e^o  of  meat  and  took 
possefsinn  ed  it 

"Blaireau,  sirlvou  rascally  fellow!" 
said  the  butcher.  "  Will  you  please  to 
Itave  that  meat  alone  ?" 

The  dog,  instead  ot  running  away   like 
an  ordinary  thief,  humbly  approached  his 
master,  wagging  bis  tail,  and  still  holding 
the  meat  in  his  mouth,  steraed  to  be  ask 
ing  hia  permission  to  keep  it 

"  You  are  not  squeamish,  ma  foi  i'  said 
Ihe  butcher  laughiuK,  "to  take  a  slice  of 
beefsteak  that  weighs  five  or  six  pounds." 
The  dog  kept  looking  at  his  master,  but 
without  losing  his  hold  of  the  meat  The 
butcher  then  took  it  out  of  his  mouth, 
and  returned  it  to  its  place  upon  the  stall. 
Bleareau  gave  a  look  ot  despair  and  turned 
to  the  (loor  with  a  melancholy  howl. 

"There  is  something  strange  in  this," 
said  the  butcher  to  himself.  "  It  is  the  first 
time  he  has  ever  touched  a  scrap  of  meat 
in  the  shop.  He  must  have  a  reason  for 
doing  it.  I  should  like  to  find  out."  He 
I  recalled  the  dog  and  gave  him  the  meat  in 
I  question. 

I  Blaireau  jumped  round  the  shop  for  joy, 
and  then  bolted  headlong  into  the  street. 
The  butcher  followed  him  wiih  his  eves 
until  he  disappeared  in  a  narrow  lane  that 
led  out  of  the  town.  Bisiieau,  like  the 
good  Samaritan,  was  soon  at  the  wounded 
wayfarer's  side,  iuviiing  him  to  parUReof 
the  supply,  to  which  the  other  did  not 
require  much  pressing.  He  ate,  or  rather 
devoured  three-quirteis  of  the  bee'",  al- 
though underdone,  afier  which  Blaireau 
finished  what  was  left.  The  two  dogs 
spent  the  night  together,  sleeping  side  by 
side. 

Early  the  next  morning  Blaireau  re 
turned  to  the  house,  accompanied  by  a 
dog  thai  limped  on  three  legs,  and  whom 
he  invited  to  lake  possession  of  his  kennel. 
He  then  collected  bones  and  scraps  in  the 
shop,  after  which  the  friends  enjoyed  their 
breakfast  together,  <me  lying  iobide  the 
kennel,  the  other  without.  Nevei  theless, 
Blaireau's  c^re  of  bis  patient  did  not  make 
him  neglect  his  duty  :  he  watcned  tbe 
beasts  in  the  pasture  as  usual,  only  be 
returned  three  «>r  four  times  in  tho  a)urse 
of  the  day  to  make  sure  that  the  invalid 
wanted  for  nothing,  and  that  he  was  not 
turned  out  of  his  resting-place. 

In  a  week  the  patient  waa  nearly  cured. 
It  is  right  to  mention  that  the  good  natured 


butcher  hastened  his  recovery  by  washing 
the  wound.  The  first  visit  the  companions 
paid  to  the  pasture  was  a  scene  ot  irre- 
pressible frolic  and  gambol :  Blaireau  was 
the  happiest  dog  in  the  world. 

The  rest  of  the  story  is  soon  told.  One 
dog  could  not  live  without  the  other,  and 
tbe  butcher  did  not  care  to  separate  them. 
Observing  that  they  had  abandoned  tbe 
kennel  because  there  was  not  room  enough 
for  them  both  to  sleep  in  it,  he  had  a  larger 
one  made  for  their  accommodation ;  and  it 
was  in  this  that  M.  Drouhin  showed  M 
Rir.hebourg  the  canine  inseparables  sleep- 
ing side  by  side. 
Our  last  anecdote  is  only  a  twelvemonth 

old.    Monsieur  De  8 and  Monsieur 

P ,  country  gentlemen  residing  in  tho 

neighborhood  of  Bordeaux,  are  great 
sportsmen  and  great  friends.  The  first 
has  two  dogp,  the  latter  only  one  ;  and  as 
dogs  soon  fall  into  their  masters'  ways, 
they  also  are  intimate  acquaintances  and 
passionately  addicted  to  the  chase. 

One  day  they  came  to  the  understanding 
that  they  would  have  a  lillle  hunt  all  to 
themselves,  for  their  own  particular  pleas- 
ure and  profit.  They  started  a  wild  rab- 
bit, whieh  ran  to  burrow,  as  the  most  pru- 
dential move  it  could  make.    One  of  M. 

De  8 's  dogs  followed  it  so  far  that  he 

could  not  get  out  again.  There  he  re- 
mained, stuck  in  the  hole,  unable  to  move 
either  backwards  or  forward.". 

After  fcratching  in  vain  to  get  him  out, 
hia  two  companions  returned  home  over- 
whelmed wi  grief.  They  were  depressed 
in  spirits,  ead  beat  VNith  faigue ;  per- 
haps also  their  consciences  pricked  them  a 
little.  Their  masters  remarked  their 
wretched  plight,  but  had  n">  means  of  ac- 
counting for  it. 

The  next  day  the  two  dogs  disappeared 
afresh.  At  night  each  returned  to  his  re- 
spective domicile,  worn  out  with  bleeding 
feet,  their  coats  covered  with  earth  and 
sand,  and  completely  C'fl  their  appetite. 
The  same  thing  continued  day  after  day. 

M.  De  8 ,  uneasy  at  the  absence  of  his 

first  dog,  and  surprised  at  the  strange  pro 
ceedings  of  the  second,  mentioned  the  mat- 
ter to  his  neighbor,  P ,  who  then  told 

him  that  his  own  dcg  had  been  doing  ex- 
actly the  same. 

Early  next  morning  M.  De  S was 

awoke  by  several  dogs  moaning  and 
scratching  at  his  door.  On  going  down 
stairs  to  sscertain  the  causey  he  was  as- 
tonished to  behold  the  missing  dog  es- 
corted home  by  his  two  companions,  but 
weak,  emaciated,  and  reduced  almost  to  a 
s'seleton.  Suspecting  what  might  have 
happened,  he  caused  search  to  be  made, 
and  soon  discovered  a  rabbit's  burrow,  in 
which  the  poor  creature  had  been  impris- 
oned for  six  whole  days.  The  narrow 
mouth  of  the  burrow  had  been  transformed 
into  an  open  cave,  evidently  owing  to  the 
intelligent  labors  of  the  two  dogs  that  re- 
mained at  liberty. 

Southern    Livyalists. 


The  gentltmen  who  have  been  elected 
in  ihe  Southern  States  to  reconstruct  the 
governments  appear  in  many  instances  to 
have  characters  which  will  not  bear  inves- 
tigation.      At     Richmond,     Charleston, 
Montgomery  and    Jackson^  the  conven- 
tions have  embraced  some  of  the  most 
precious   scoundrels   left  outside  of   the 
penitentiary.    It  was  only  last  week  that 
a  special  Radical  pet,  the  negro  lawyer  J. 
Alpeoria     Bradley,    whom    Ben.     Wade 
elevated  in  the  United  States  Senate  as  a 
witness  against  one  of  the  most  worthy 
officers  in  South  Carolina,  was  expelled 
from  the  Georgia  Convention.    The  most 
remarkable  fact  connected  with  the  expul- 
sion is  that  it  was  occasioned  by  his  insub 
ordinate  and  insulting  deportment.    The 
Radical  majority  composing  the  Conven- 
tion do  not  stem  to  have  regarded  Bradley 
as  unfit  to  be  a  member  of  the  Convention 
or  their  associate,  though  proved  to  be  a 
great  scoundrel.     A  committee  was  ap- 
pointed   to    investigate    certain    charges 
made  against  him.    They  discharged  their 
duties  in  this  behalf  and  made  a  report  to 
the  Convention,  which  is  published  in  full 
in  the  Georgia  paper-".      They  reported 
that  they  had  a  certified  copy  of  the  records 
of  the  City  Court  of  Brooklyn,  New  York, 
showing  that  Bradlej',  born  near  Augusta, 
Maine,  was,  on  the  13th  day  of  June,  1851. 
convicted  of  a  grave  oflense  and  sentenced 
to  imprisonment  for  two  years  in  the  peni- 
tentiary.   They  also  report  that  by  a  cer- 
tified copy  of  the  records  of  the  Sujjerior 
Court  of  the  county  of  Suffols,  Massachu- 
sells,  it  appears  that  Bradley  was.  on  the 
4ih  of  October,   1856,  stricken  from  the 
roll  of  atturnevs  and  removed  from  prac- 
tice in  any  court  in  Massachusetts  for  con- 
tempt  of     court   and    malpractice.      A 
minority  of  tho  committee  recommended 
that  he  be  expelled  for  criminal  conduct. 
But  a  majority  of  the  committee  made  a 
report    in    which  they  enter  into   some 
special  pleading,  stating  that  there  is  no 
law   fixing  the  qualifications  of  members 
except  the  act  of  Congress  of  March  2, 
18(57,  and  that  act  makes  but  one  qualifica- 
tion, that  is,  conformity  to  the  3a  section 
of  the    proposed    Constitutional  amend- 
ment.    Ihey  say  :     "  It  appears  to  u?  Ihr.t 
this  Cemvention  would  be  adopting  a  dan- 
gerous  rule   to   prescribe  gmlty  of  any 
ojrdn«<;  a  disqualification  for  a  seat."    *      * 
And  this  negro  lawyer  and  precious  Radi- 
cal was  not  expelled  on  the  ground  of  the 
report  showing  him  to  be  a  penitentiary 
bird,  for,  so  far  as  that  is  concerned,  his 
Radical  asaociates  do  not  seem  to  have 
been  disturbed  by  his  presence.    But  they 
afterward  expelled    bim   for  insolence  of 
demeanor  and  contempt  of  the  Conven- 
tion, a  much  graver  oflVnee,  in  Radical 
estimation,  than  those  proved  by  the  re- 
port. 

In  the  South  Carolina  Convention  it  is 
charged  that  among  the  white  members  is 
one  now  under,  indictment  for  stealing  a 
cow;  a  second  waa  lately  fined  $13,(X)0  for 
a  violation  of  the  Internal  Revenue  law  ;  a 
third  was  indicted  for  illicit  distillation  of 
whisky  ;  a  fourth  hoisted  the  ConfcHlerate 
flag  over  Sumter  alter  its  surrender  to 
Beauregard,  and  a  fifth  Is  a  preacher  who 
used  to  pray  that  the  Yankee  fleet  in  front 
of  Charleston  might  be  sunk  into  the  bot- 
tomless pit. 

A  pamphlet  of  half  a  score  of  pages  was 
published,  with  court  records,  showing 
that  one  of  the  loyalists  of  the  Alabama 
Convention  was  a  felon.  He  was  a  nomi- 
nee in  some  meeting  for  Governor.  He 
Is  now  dead,  and  out  of  regard  for  his 
bones  we  refrain  from  naming  him.  In 
stances  of  this  kind  show  what  sort  of  ma- 
terial Radicalism  uses  as  its  instruments, 
and  they  show,  too,  what  must  be  the  char- 
acter of  the  constituency  which  elects 
such  representatives.— Jtmowri  RepuW-

plosive ;  neither  are  they  capable  of  fur- 
nishing any  gas,  when  placed  in  lamps, 
which  is   explosive.    Accidents    of  Ibis 
nature  are  due  entirely  to  the  facility  with 
which  vapor  is  produced  from  them  at  low 
temperatures.    But,  the  vapor  by  itself  is 
not  explosive ;    to  render  it  eo,  it  muit  be 
mixed  with  air.    A  lamp  may  be  filled  with 
bad  kerosene,  or  with  tbe  vapor  even,  and 
in  no  possible  way  can  it  detonate,  or  ex- 
plode, unless  atmospheric  air  has  somehow 
got  mixed  with  the  vapor.    A  lamn,  there- 
fore, full,  or  nearly  full,  of  the  liquid,  is 
safe ;  and  also  one  full  of  pure  warm  vapor 
1.)  f  afe.    Explosions  generally  occur  when 
the  lamp  is  first   lighted,  without  being 
filled,  and  late  in  the  evening,  when  tho 
fluid  is  nearly  exhausted.    The  reason  of 
this  will  readily  be  seen.    In  using  imper- 
fect  or  adulterated   kerosene,  the  space 
above  the  line  of  oil  ia  always  filled  with 
vapor  ;  and  so  Jong  as  it  is  warm,  and 
rising  freely,  no  air  can  reach  it,  and  it  is 
safe.    At  bed-time,  when  the  family  re- 
tire, the  light  is  extinguished  ;  the  lamp 
cools,  a  portion  of  the  vapor  is  condensed; 
this  creates  a  partial  vacuum  in  the  space, 
which  is  instantly   tilled    with  air.    The 
mixture  is  now  more  or  less  explosive  ; 
and  when,  upon  the  next  evening,  the 
lamp  is  lighted  without  replenishing  with 
oil,  as  is  often  done,  an  explosion  is  liable 
to  take  place.    Late  in  the  evening,  when 
the  oil  is  nearly  consumed,  and  the  space 
above  filled  with  vapor,  the  lamp  cannot 
explode  so  long  as  It  remains  at  rest  upon 
the  table.    But  take  it  in  hand,  agitate  it, 
carry  it  into  a  cool  room,  the  vapor  is 
cooled,  air  passes  in,  and  the  vapor  be- 
comes explosive.    A  case  of  lamp  explo- 
sion came  to  the  writer's  knowledge  a  few 
years  fcince,  which  was  occasioned  by  tak- 
ing a  lamp  from  tho  table  to  answer  a  ring 
of   the   door-bell.    The  cool  outside  air 
which  impinged  upon  the  lamp  in  the 
hands  of  the  lady,  rapidly  condensed  the 
vapor,  air  passed  in,  an  explosion  occur- 
red, which  resulted  fatally.    If  tho  lamp 
had  been  full  of  fluid,  this  accident  could 
not  have  occurred.    Before  carrying  it  to 
the  door,  flame  might  have  been  thrust  in- 
to the  lamp  with  safety ;  the  vapor  would 
have  ignited,  bul  no  explosion  would  have 
taken  place.

Injurious  Efl«ctH  of  CoHmctlcM. 

An  eminent  VV^estem  physician  in  a  com- 
munication in  a  late  number  of  the  Medical 
and  Surgical  Reporter,  makes  the  following 
allusion  to  what  he  calls  a  serious  evil  per- 
vading the  American  community  : 

To  heighten  their  beauty  in  the  eyes  of 
admiring  gentlemen,  the  ladies  are  resort- 
ing to  various  cosmetics  in  the  shape  of 
washes,  powders  and  paints,  which  are 
put  up  and  lauded  to  the  skies  by  greedy 
nd  unprincipled  knaves  calling  them- 
selves druggists,  as  being  sovereign  reme- 
dies for  all  the  evils  which  beset  a  fair 
complexion.  Now  the  ladies  ought  to 
know  that  all  the  preparations  are  more 
or  less  irjurious  to  the  skin  when  used 
habitually,  and  some  of  them  even  poison- 
ous and  dangerous  to  health  and  life.  One 
person  in  this  community  has  suffered 
nearly  everything  but  death  for  the  past 
two  years,  besides  expending  a  small  for- 
tune upon  several  doctors  who  did  her  no 
good  because  they  did  not  understand 
tbe  cause  of  the  trouble.  I  have  satisfac- 
torily ascertained  that  it  was  nothing  more 
nor  less  than  the  use  of  cosmetic  com- 
posed wholly  of  carbonate  of  lead  and 
water.  This  is  sold  by  druggists,  who  ob- 
tain it  from  New  York  and  Chicago,  put 
up  in  beautiful  stained  glass  bottles,  and 
lat}eled  with  a  high  sounding  name.  The 
lady  above  referred  to  had  the  usual  symp- 
toms of  lead  colic,  followed  by  paralysis 
of  the  flexors  of  the  wrists.  Since  discard- 
ing this  cosmetic  she  ia  recovering  the  use 
of  her  bands,  and  her  general  health  is 
improving.  The  test  used  is  the  following  : 
Shake  up  the  bottle  and  pour  a  little  of 
the  mixture  into  a  wine  glass,  add  a  few 
drops  of  nitric  acid,  which  dissolves  the 
carbonate,  making  a  transparent  solution. 
To  Ihia  add  a  few  grains  of  iodide  potas- 
sium, and  there  is  produced  a  beautiful 
yellow,  iodide  of  lead  precipitated  in  a 
solution  of  nitrate  of  potasb.

As  Louis  Burger,  the  well  known  author 
and  philologist  was  walking  in  the  Ave- 
nue des  Champs  Elysces  he  heaid  a  famil- 
iar voice  exclaiming,  "  Buy  some  nuts  of 
a  poor  roan,  sir;  twenty  for  a  penny!" 
IIo  looked  up  and  recognized  his  old  bar- 
ber. 

"  What !  arc  you  selling  nuts  y"  said  he. 

"  Ah,  sir,  I  have  been  unfortunate." 

"  Bul  this  is  no  business  for  a  man  like 
you!" 

"Oh,  iir,  if  you  could  only  tell  me  of 
something  belter  to  do,"  returned  the  bar- 
ber, with  a  sigh. 

Burger  was  touched.  He  reflected  a 
moment ;  then  tearing  a  leaf  from  his 
memorandum  book,  he  wrote  for  a  few 
moments  and  handed  it  to  the  man,  say- 
ing, "  Take  this  to  a  printing  office  and 
have  a  hundred  copies  strufck  off;  here  is 
the  money  to  pay  for  it.  Get  a  license 
from  the  Prefecture  of  the  Police,  and  sell 
them  at  two  cents  a  copy,  and  you  will 
have  bread  on  the  spot.  The  strangers 
who  visit  Paris  cannot  refuse  this  tribute 
to  the  name  of  God,  printed  in  so  many 
different  waj's." 

The  barber  did  as  he  waa  bid,  and  was 
always  seen  al  tho  entrance  to  the  Exposi- 
tion, selling  the  following  hand-bill :

The  Boston  uoumal  of  Chemittry,  in  an 
article  on  the  chemistry  of  kerosene, 
speaks  as  follows.  As  an  explanation  of 
Ihe  caus«s  of  lamp  explosions,  it  is  worth 
studying,  that  these  accidents  may  be 
avoided : 

As  has  been  stated,  kere>eene  is  tot  ex- 
plosive. A  lighted  taper  may  be  thrust 
into  it,  or  flame  applied  in  any  way,  and  it 
does  not  explode.  On  the  contrary  it  ex- 
tinguishes flame,  if  experimented  with  at 
the  usual  temperatures  of  our  rooms. 
Kerosene  accidents  occur  from  two 
causes:  First,  imperfect  manufacture 
of  the  article;  tecond,  adullerationB. 
An  imperfectlly  manufactured  oil 
is  that  which  results  when  the 
distillation  has  deen  carried  on  at  too 
low  temperature,  and  a  portion  of  tbe 
naptha  remains  in  it.  Adulterations  are 
largelv  made  by  unprincipled  dealers,  who 
add  20  to  30  per  cent  of  naptha  after  it 
leaves  Ihe  manufacturer's  hands.  Tbe 
light  naplhas  which  have  been  spoken  of, 
as  known  m  commerce  under  tbe  names  of 
benzine,  benzoline,  gosoleine,  etc.,  are  very 
volatile,  inflammable,  and  dangerous.

"  Well,"  said  he,  "  has  the  holy  name  of 
God  brought  you  good  luck  f  " 

"  Yes,  indeed,  sir.  I  sell  on  an  average 
one  hundred  copies  a  day,  al  two  cents 
each,  or  two  dollars;  but  the  strangers 
are  generous ;  some  give  me  ten  cents

"  Pivc  dollars  a  day  ?  "

there  is  noihing  so  profitable  as  selling  tbe

I  have  noticed  that  in  Genn«r  'amilies, 
family  Kovernment  is  vtry  aila  com- 
pared with  the  theory  and  practice  in 
America  on  this  subject,  I  may  say  ex- 
tremely rigid.  The  rules  and  regulations 
are  few,  but  they  are  enforced  on  all  occa- 
sions,  and  under  all  circumstances.  Un- 
questioning submission  to  parental  author- 
ity lies  at  the  foundation  of  this  govern- 
ment. Children  are  taught  to  entertain 
lh«)  highest  respect  for  superiors  and  for 
age.  It  is  beautiful  to  see  the  respectful 
manner  in  which  they  deport  themselves 
in  the  presence  of  tbeir  superiors  and  older 
persons.  They  are  also  invariably  polite 
to  strangf  rs. 

A  few  weeks  ago  a  friend  and  myself 
made  aq  excursion  on  foot  into  ihe  coun- 


try, and  were  surprised  at  the  genuine  po- 
liteness of  the  poor  peasants  and  their 
children.  Every  peasant  and  child  wc 
met  saluted  us  in  the  kindest  manner  pos- 
sible, and  readily  and  pleasantly  answered 
all  our  questions.  Children  are  early 
taught  to  be  industrious  and  eeil-reliaut. 
They  are  not  allowed  to  call  eervauts  to 
do  for  them  things  which  they  can  easily 
do  for  themselves.  Every  boy  is  trained 
for  some  business  or  profession,  and  the 
girls  are  trained  to  make  good  housekeep- 
ers and  good  wives.  In  the  best  families, 
servants  very  seldom  wait  on  the  tabic  — 
not  even  when  guests  are  invited. 

I  took  tea,  not  long  since,  at  the  house 
of  a  Baroness,  with  a  large  parly,  and  not 
a  Ecrvant  was  to  be  seen.  The  Baroness 
made  tea  after  we  were  seated  at  the  table, 
with  a  convenient  and  elegant  apn  aralus 
prepared  for  the  purpose,  and  two" beauti- 
ful young  ladies,  a  niece  of  the  Baroness 
and  a  friend,  passed  around  the  table  and 
served  the  guests. 

On  a  certain  occasion,  I  called  on  a 
wealthy  family,  and  was  received  by  the 
lady  of  the  house,  who  told  me  that  her 
two  daughters  were  in  the  kitchen  cook 
ing.  They  were  both  to  be  married  soon, 
and  a  professional  cook  had  been  employ- 
ed to  come  three  times  a  week,  to  give 
them  lessons  in  the  art  of  cooking,  and 
initiate  them  fully  into  all  its  mysteries. 
In  five  minutes  one  of  these  young  ladies 
came  into  the  parlor  to  see  me,  neatly 
dressed,  and  conversed  with  me  in  beauti- 
ful English. 

A  thorough  ac£|uainlauce  with  domestic 
economy  is  considered  an  indespensablo 
quahfication  in  a  young  lady  for  the  mar- 
ried life.  In  addition  to  all  this,  mothers 
teach  their  daughters  that  one  of  the  chief 
duties  after  marriage  is  to  strive  to  keep 
their  husbands  comfortable  and  happy. 
When  a  German  husband  comes  to  his 
home,  at  the  close  of  the  day  of  toil  and 
anxiety,  his  wife  receives  him  with  a 
smile,  arranges  his  arm  chair,  brings  him 
his  study  gown  and  slippers,  places  before 
bim  refreshments,  gets  him  a  cigar,  and 
while  he  eata  and  smokes  converses  with 
him  in  the  most  entertaining  manner  about 
the  events  «f  the  day.  What  will  your 
lady  friends  say  about  this  picture  o  f  do- 
mestic life  in  Germany  :—Rev.  R.  K  fkiun-

for  strawberries. 

WoBK  FOR  Bad  W^iiAxntK.— It  is  well 
always  to  suit  the  work  to  the  weather. 
Few  can  endure  to  work  out  ir.  rain  or 
snow,  and  if  thought  be  given  there  can 
always  be  feund  plenty  lodoineiaowhcnit 
is  unpleasant  or  stormy  out  of  doors — work 
also  that  will  save  many  an  hour  when  the 
hurry  and  drive  of  Spring  comes ;  pre- 

f>aring  label  sticks  and  stakes ;  mending 
ights,  making  boxes  for  melons,  etc. ; 
cleaning  crocks,  painting  tools,  and  a 
thousand  other  thinge,  which  if  done  will 
enable  a  man  to  drive  his  work,  instead  of 
the  work  driving  him. — Ilorticultuntit. 

W.  Austin,  writing  to  the  New  York 
Farmers  Club,  says:  "I  always  keep 
handy  a  rod  or  stick  three  feet  long,  with 
a  notch  or  knob  on  the  end  for  holding  a 
swab  made  of  flax  covered  with  a  cotton 
cloth,  greased,  and  when  an  animal  is 
choked  it  is  led  into  the  f.lall  and  held  by 
a  man,  who  pulls  out  the  tongue,  when  "I 
push  the  obstruction  down  the  throat  very 
quickly.  I  keep  over  twenty  cows  and 
feed  a  good  many  potatoes,  and  1  scme- 
times  have  three  or  four  cattle  choking  at 
one  time  ;  but  it  does  not  lake  me  more 
than  five  minutes  to  relieve  Ihcm." 

Rl!:Movl^•G  Stains.— All  cloths  subject 
to  be  stained,  such  as  table  linen,  napkins, 
children's  clothes,  towels,  etc.,  ought  to  be 
examined  before  being  put  into  any  wash 
mixture  or  soap  euds,  as  these  render  the 
stain  permanent.  Many  stains  will  yield 
to  good  washing  in  pure  soft  warm  water. 
Alcohol  will  remove  almost  any  discolora 
lion.  Almost  any  stain  or  iron  mould,  or 
mildew,  may  be  removed  by  dipping  m  a 
moderately  strong  citric  acid,  then  covered 
with  salt  and  kept  in  the  sun.  This  may 
require  to  be  repealed  many  times,  but 
with  us  has  never  failed. — Cimntry  Oentle- 
man. 

Impoktance  of  Good  Digestion.— A 
touch  of  the  dyspepsia,  growing  out  of  a 
pig's  toot  swallowed  at  midnight,  has 
changed  a  man's  whole  life,  and  an  irregu- 
larity of  the  bile  has  made  many  an  angel 
almost  a  fiend.  If  the  gastric  Juico  is  all 
right,  and  tho  blood  in  swimming  order, 
the  world  is  a  nice,  bright,  pleasant  place, 
and  from  which  nobody  is  in  a  hurry  to 
move ;  but  if  in  that  queer,  my6lefiou.=t 
fluid  there  is  an  alloy,  the  sky  of  life  is  all 
cloud,  the  winds  howl,  and  everything  is 
dark  and  dismal.  If  you  want  to  feel  as 
happy  as  a  lady  going  to  her  own  wed- 
dmg,  look  after  your  digestive  and  circulat 
ing  systems. 

CoNCEiiNiNG  Cheese.— I  will  tell  my 
readers  why  epicures  eat  cheese  first, 
"Cheese,"  says  Grimod  de  la  Reyniere, 
"  has  the  property  of  taking  away  from 
the  mouth  and  palate  all  tastes  that  have 
been  left  by  the  preceding  dishes,  and 
thus  prepares  them  (mouth  and  palate)  for 
the  succulent  and  delicate  things  of  the 
desert,  and  the  flivors  of  the  wines."  After 
cheese,  there  is  no  order  for  the  other  plates 
of  desert ;  they  are  partaken  of  according 
to  taste.  A  plate  of  desert  that  is  always 
relished,  especially  by  gentlemen,  is  the 
quoLire  memdiants.  It  is  composed  of  dried 
grapes,  tigs,  baitdenuta  and  sweet  almond.?.

Size  ok  Potato  Sets  fob  Plantjnu. 
— A  late  number  ot  the  Journal  cf  the 
Royal  Agricultural  Society  of  England  has 
a  report  of  Mr.  Maw's  experiments  on  the 
potato  crop,  to  determine  the  most  profit- 
able size  of  sets,  which  ia  a  very  practical 
paper,  and  goes  to  settle  a  question  t>f 
much  importance,  about  which  very  di- 
verse views  have  been  held,  and  defective 
practice  followed.  Mr.  Maw  wiis  a  dis- 
tinguished scholar  at  Cirenctsler,  Every 
increase  in  the  size  of  the  set,  from  oiic 
ounce  up  to  eight  ounce.'',  proiiuces  an  in- 
crease of  crop  much  greater  than  the  ad- 
ditional weight  of  sets  planic  1,  The  net 
profit  in  using  four  ounces  instead  of  one 
ounce  sets  amounted  to  between  two  and 
three  tons  per  acre,  and  the  further  profit 
from  four  to  eight  ounces  averaged  about 
five  tons.  The  advantage  of  large  sets 
was  more  marked  in  late  than  in  early 
sorts.  Small  sets  yield  best  when  plaiited 
close  in  the  rows,  say  from  six  incf  es  to 
nine  inches,  and  in  no  case  should  the  dis- 
tance exceed  twelve  inches.  Weight  for 
weight,  cut  sets  produce  the  same  v.eight 
of  crop  as  whole  potatoes. 

liVhy  I>onU  Our  l-'armers  Slndj 
ibeir  ProresHion  ? 

We  ask  our  cultivators,  why  is  it  that  all 
who  come  under  tbe  denomination  of  far- 
mers should  take  so  little  interest  in  agri- 
culture? 

Why  should  the  noblest  profession  on 
earth  have  for  many  of  its  professional 
friends  and  co-operators  those  who  rarely 
read  a  book  or  open  a  paper,  or  study  a 
line  of  truth  in  the  science  from  which 
they  f  arn  their  daily  bread  ? 

No  lawyer  that  would  make  himself  emi- 
nent, but  feels  the  necessity  of  a  good  li- 
brary, and  secures  the  opinions  of  all  dis- 
tinguished jurists,  courts,  &c.,  and  he  reads 
the  opinions  and  finds  ideas  to  guide  him  in 
bis  own  advancing  way. 

No  physician  but  seeks  from  the  prac- 
tical labors  of  his  fellow  craft,  and  from 
their  written  and  printed  opinions,  light 
and  knowledge  to  guide  him  on  his  way. 

No  clergyman  but  that  will  peruse  the 
writings  and  diccussions  of  all  his  own 
sect,  and  even  those  that  differ  from  him 
widely,  in  order  that  he  may  select  the 
true  ud  reject  tbe  fklse. 


No  manufacturer  or  mechanic  but  that 

stores  his  mind  with  information  from  the 
best  books  and  the  journals  that  treats  of 
the  science  appertaining  to  his  own  busi- 
ness. 

But  the  noblest  science,  alas  for  the  far- 
mer! he  thinks  too  often  that  as  he  has 
ploughed  from  his  boyhood,  he  understands 
all  about  farming,  and  books  and  papers 
are  of  little  use  to  him. 

How  fatal  to  his  success  is  this  folly.  A 
lifetime  spent  in  practical  farming  only 
shows  to  the  intelligent  man  that  he  has 
but  just  entered  upon  the  threshold  of  the 
great  Temple  of  Nature,  and  according  as 
he  desires  true  knowledge,  so  certain  will 
be  his  success ;  but  the  man  that  folds  his 
arms,  believing  that  he  knows  all.  Heaven 
will  withdraw  the  light  of  truth  from  him, 
and  success  can  never  restuptm  his  labors.

]l«-ar  in  Mind. 

When  dlpcase  has  undermined  the  health,  and 
the  physical  system  has  bocomo  prostrated,  a 
etimnlant  that  will  not  only  itrentthen  but  re- 
move tho  cause,  should  be  Immediately  resorted 
to.  Mental  dUtreps  ia  also  a  fruitful  source  of  the 
breaking  down  of  the  constitution,  and  the  rava- 
pes  of  this  enemy  to  health  are  truly  alarminp. 
ForallPuch  maladies  HOSTETTER'S  STOMACH 
BITTERS  have  been  found  unsurpassed.  By  act- 
in?  directly  upon  the  digestive  organs,  they  re- 
move the  heavy  disagreeable  feeling  after  eating 
60  often  com  plaint-d  of  by  persons  of  a  delicate 
temperament.  As  soon  a»  digestion  Is  restored, 
the  paiieut  finds  his  strength  increasing,  and  his 
general  ht«alth  Improved. 

Thousands  of  persons  certify  that  It  may  be  re- 
lied on  in  all  cases  of  weakness  or  nerv'oas  debil- 
ity attendant  upon  sedentary  habits.  The  gener- 
ality of  Bitters  are  so  di»ugrecable  to  the  taste 
that  th"y  are  objectionable  to  a  weak  stomach. 
This  is  not  the  case  with  HOSTETTER8  BIT- 
TERS, nhich  will  be  found  mild  and  extremely 
pleasant.  Balsamic  plants  barks  and  roots  con- 
tiibate  their  reftoiaiivc  juices  Io  render  it  sooth- 
ing and  strengthening,  lis  basis  Is  the  only  pure 
8timulnnt  which  has  ever  been  produced  coniiiin 
Ing  no  funll  ait,  or  any  other  deletci  Ions  element. 
The  most  canfnl  and  skillful  chemists  hav» 
analyzt-d  the  Bitter.*  and  pronounced  them  harm- 
less. This  is  scientific  tei-timony;  but  the  testi- 
mony of  tbe  hundreflsof  thousands  who  have  ex- 
perienced the  preventive  an  i  curative  effects  ot 

the  GREAT   VEGETABLIt    TONIC   and   ALTEEATIVB  of 

modern  times  is  still  more  conclusive.  In  Kever 
and  Ague,  Dyspepsia,  Biliousness,  Nerrone  Com- 
plaints, Chronic  Complaints  and  general  debility 
It  is  ns  nearly  mfalliblj  as  anything  in  this  fallible

hand,  it  can  be  e.xchangetl  for  another. — 
We  find  these  pens  tlte  cheapest,  as  well  as 
the  best,  for  our  school  children.  Morton

THE 


RAMSEY      AND     DONNELLY 
CORRESPONDENCE. 


An  effort  has  been  made  to  create  a  new 
LdMil  District  iu  Minnesota,  with  the  ofiSccrs 
located  at    Alexandria.     The   rapid   settle- 
ment of  that  part  of  the   State  impcrativelj 
(Jctnand    the  formation  of  a  now  land   dis- 
trict.    Aa    it  now   is,  pre-cm))tors  h.ive   to 
travel   a    hundred  milea   to   the  St.   Clond 
Land    Office,   to   make  the  entry   of  their 
homesteads.     To  meet  this  pressing   want. 
Senator    Ramsey  introduced  on  the  12th  of 
February  into  the  United  States    Scuate,  a 
bill    creating    the  new    district.     But    Mr- 
Donnelly,    in    the    Ifouae,    admitting    the 
necessity  of  the    formation  of  the  new  dis- 
trict, ever  true  to  the  instinct  of  a  political 
demagogue,  declares  he  will  defeat  the  bill 
ill  the  IIou.sc,  unless  he  can  have  his  .say  as 
to  who  .shall    l>e   appointed  to   fill    the  new 
ofTices    which  the   new  land   district   would 
render  neces.sary.     Mr.  Donnelly    therefore 
♦writes  to   Senator  Ramsey,  rofjuesting  him 
4o  select   the  Register  and  Receiver  for  tie 
•icw  district  from  a  Hot  of  names  which  he 
encloses,  Donwlly   in  substance  iulimating 
that    unless   Ramsey  agrees    to  select  those 
•officers    from    the    list  of  names  which    ho 
liad  fcimishcd,  he    (Donnelly)  will  have  the 
l>ill  defeated  iu  the  House. 

Senator  Ramsey  answers  the  letter,  and 
•urges  the  great  necessity  fur  the  new  dis- 
trict ;  B.ssures  Donnelly  that  no  improper 
appointments  to  Ell  the  nuw  ollices  would 
be  confirmed  by  the  Scn;.te,  but  declines  to 
be  bound  to  select  from  Donnelly's  list,  and 
urges  Mr.  Donnelly  not  to  oppose  the  pas- 
•«a^2<of  the  bill  through  the  Housu. 

This  RnsT.er  of  Senator  Raini^cj  seems  to 

have   called    out    aiK>ther    long  and    prosy 

•letter  from  Donnelly,  iu  which  he  takes  the 

-singular    position    that    the    interest  of  the 

Republican  party  in  this  State  require  that 

t^enatcir  Ram.sey— a  life-long  Republican — 

should    not  be   trusted    with   the   control  of 

the  appointment  of  two   land  officers,  and 

'ihat   therefore   he  will  endeavor   to    defeat 

•<hc  bill  creating  the  new  laud  district. 

•It   must    lit   once  be    conceded   that  the 

'position    assumed    by    Senator  Ramsey    is 

that    of    a   statesman,    while    the    position 

ajtanmed    by  Donnelly    is  that  of  o  narrow- 

niitided  demagogue.     The  k^y,  however,  to 

xliis  lock  between  this   Senator  and    Repre- 

•♦eotatiw,  will  be  found  in  the  fact  that  they 

are  both    to  lie  candidates  before    the  next 

Ijogi.-ilaturo   for   the  United  States  Senate, 

in  the  place  of  Ramsey,  who.se  t<Tm  expiree 

ail  March  ue.\t.     Each,  therefore,  wishes  to 

?havo   the  control    of  as    many  Federal  ap- 

jKitntmoiits  in    this   State  a.s   po.ssible,  each 

'h«i>ing  thereby  to  be  better  aide  to  procuro 

hiiown  fcieuds  to  se.ats  in   the  next  Legis- 

daturc     Coth  are  seeking   the    same  end.?, 

duit .Senator  Ramsey,  iu  the  position  he  has 

KtAsumed    on    pajier,    stanas    on    the  firm 

l^round  of  statesmanship,  while  Donnelly  is 

Houiidering   in  the  (^ua^mire  uf  the  dema- 

J?ogue. 

Be  easy,  gentlemen,  and  save  your  dig- 
•iity,  fur  the  people  of  Minnesota  intend 
next  fall  to  see  that  both  of  your  seats  on 
the  4th  of  March  next,  aro  occupied  by 
lioneat  Democrats. 


WUOSE   FERRY  IS  IT? 

On  March  10th  the  l3oard  of  Cot^ntj 
Commissioners  of  Scott  County  granted  a 
fi?rry  license  to  E.  F.  Drake  and  J.  L.  .Mer- 
riam,  to  run  a  ferry  for  five  years  across 
the  Minnesota  river  opposite  Mcrriam  rail^ 
road  station, — which  is  about  half  way  bo 
tween  Carver  and  Cha.ska.  But  on  the  3d 
of  March,  the  Board  of  County  Comnmsion- 
«ra  of  Carver  County  granted  a  ferry  license 
for  tive  years  to  L.  II.  GrilBn  to  run  a  ferry 
across  the  river  at  the  same  place.  Whoso 
<erry  ia  it?  Either  county  ha3  jurisdiction 
to  grant  the  license,  but  the  county  that 
first  exercises  the  right  supersides  the 
Juriadictinn  of  the  other.  Carver  county, 
it  would  seem,  had  »  full  week's  atari  of 
JScott.

Dear  Sin  :  Knowing  that  anything,  p(?r- 
laini».g  to  that  National  Festival  which  all 
Iri.ih  Catholics,  ail  over  the  world,  has 
clung  to  with  so  much  love  and  veneration, 
and  to  which  thoy  still  cling  with  that  true 
love,  and  veneration  for  Dear  Fatherland, 
which  is  the  true  and  shining  charact^'ristic 
of  Irish  Cutliolics  everywhere,  has  not  been 
forgotten  in  Belle  Plaiue. 

The  day  has  been  duly  observed  and 
celebrated  by  the  Catholics  of  this  attract- 
ive; tcvrn,  in  a  t'-ly  Christian  manner,  un- 
der the  guidance  of  their  devoted  and 
energetic  Pastor,  Father  Cerghold.  At  ten 
o'clock,  tho  Holy  Sacrifice  of  the  Mass  was 
otTered  up,  in  which  a  numerous  and  devoted 
congregation  assisted.  And  after  the  first 
gospel,  wo  had  the  happiness  of  listening  to 
one  of  the  most  eloquent  and  feeling  dis- 
courses on  St.  Patrick  and  his  devoted 
children,  it  has  been  my  good  fortune  to 
listen  to  in  many  a  year,  and  one  whieli 
must  have  brought  a  thrill  of  joy  to  every 
Irish  heart.  But  the  most  prominent  fea- 
ture of  the  day  w,as  the  splendid  picture  of 
St.  Patrick,  placed  in  our  church  for  the 
first  time  to-day.  This  picture  is  life  size, 
being  4.\6  feet,  and  represents  the  Saint  in 
robes,  with  Miter  and  Croziar,  and  in  the 
act  of  driving  serpents  into  the  sea.  This 
picture   has    been    gotten    up    by     Father

THE   RAMSEY   AND  DONNELLY 
CORRESPONDENCE. 


An  effort  has  been  made  to  create  ft  new 
Lniid  Diatrict  in  Minnesot.i,  w'uli  the  officers 
located  at  Alexandriri.  The  rapid  fiettlo- 
meni  of  that  part  of  the  State  im^Kiratively 
detnand  the  furmatiori  of  a  now  hind  dis- 
trict. As  it  now  U,  pro-cinj)tor.s  have  to 
travel  a  hundred  miles  to  the  St.  Cloud 
Land  Office,  to  make  the  entry  of  their 
homesteads.  To  meet  this  pressing  want. 
Senator  Ramsey  introduced  on  the  I'Zth  of 
February  into  the  United  Stales  Foualt",  a 
bill  creating  the  new  district.  But  Mr. 
Donnelly,  in  the  J  louse,  admitting  the 
necessity  of  the  formation  of  the  new  dis- 
trict, ever  true  to  the  instinct  of  a  political 
demagogue,  declares  ho  will  defeat  the  bill 
ill  the  Hou.sc,  unless  be  can  have  his  say  as 
«o  who  .shall  be  ajipointcd  to  (ill  the  new 
uflices  which  the  new  land  district  would 
render  neces.sary.  Mr.  Donnelly  therefore 
^writes  to  Senator  Ramscj-,  roquesling  him 
4o  select  the  Register  and  Receiver  for  the 
•lew  district  from  a  lijt  of  names  which  be 
enclo.ses,  Donwlly  in  substance  iiitiiiiatlng 
thai  unless  Ramsey  agrees  to  select  those 
officers  from  the  list  of  names  which  he 
J»ad  fr-irnjshcd,  he  (Donnelly)  will  have  the 
iill  defeated  in  the  Uousc. 

Senator  Ramsey  answers  the  letter,  and 
•Mrgea  the  great  necessity  for  tlie  new  dis- 
iricf-,  a.ssures  Donnelly  that  no  improper 
appointments  to  fill  the  new  ollices  would 
be  confirmed  by  the  Scn;.te,  but  declines  to 
lie  bound  to  select  from  Donnelly's  list,  aud 
urges  Mr.  Donnelb'  not  to  oppose  the  pas- 
•fcag^i-of  the  bill  through  the  Houso. 

This  nnsT.er  of  Senator  Rani.so?  seems  to 

have   called    out   aiK>thcr    long  and    prosy 

'letter  from  Donnelly,  in  which  he  takes  the 

-singular   position    that    the    iut«rest  of  the 

Republican  l^rty  in  tbi.<  State  recjuire  that 

h^enator   Ramsey— a  life-long  Republic  an — 

should    not  be   trusted    v.iih   the   control  of 

the  appointment  of  two   land   officers,  and 

'that   therefore    he  will  endeavor   to    defeat 

•<he  bill  creating  the  new  laud  district. 

•It  ast  bt  once  be  conceded  tliat  the 
^silion  assumed  by  Senator  Ramsey  ij 
that  uf  a  statesman,  while  tho  position 
a.tsumed  by  Donnelly  is  that  of  a  uarrow- 
iiiindeil  demagogue.  The  ki'V,  however,  to 
ilii.t  lock  between  this  Senator  and  Repre- 
tH.'Otative,  will  be  found  in  the  fact  that  they 
i»re  l>oth  to  be  candidates  before  the  next 
I<ogislaturo  for  the  United  States  Senate, 
in  the  place  of  Ramsey,  whose  lirm  expires 
fill  March  next.  Each,  therefore,  wishes  to 
Ihavo  the  control  of  as  many  Federal  ap- 
ijKjintmants  in  tliis  State  ai  po.ssiblc,  each 
'hoping  thereby  to  be  betiicr  able  to  procuro 
hi<i  own  {cietids  to  scat?  in  the  next  Legis- 
'Iftturc  Both  are  .seeking  tho  same  end.^ 
.but .Senator  Ramsey,  in  the  position  he  has 
rfcflsuraed  on  paper,  slaim.s  on  tlio  firm 
>;round  of  statesmanship,  wliilo  Donnelly  i.s 
tlouudering  in  the  (^u.ai^mirc  uf  the  duma- 
jfogue. 

he  co.sy,  gentlemen,  and  save  yonr  dig- 
•iity,  f(»r  the  people  of  Minnesot.'i  inten<l 
jicxl  fall  to  see  that  both  of  your  seatd  on 
the  4th  of  March  next,  aro  occupied  by 
lionest  Democrats. 


WUOSE   FERRY  IS  IT? 

On  March  10th  the  lioard  of  County 
Commissioners  of  Scott  County  gran  led  a 
ferry  lic«n«ti  to  E.  F.  Drake  and  J.  L.  .Mer- 
riam,  to  run  a  ferry  for  five  yeara  across 
the  Minnesota  river  opposite  Merriam  raif- 
road  station, — which  is  about  half  way  be- 
tween Carver  and  Cha.ska.  But  on  tho  3d 
of  March,  the  Board  of  County  Commission- 
tTS  of  Carver  County  granted  a  ferry  licen.se 
for  tive  yenrs  to  L.  II.  Griffin  to  run  a  ferry 
across  the  river  at  the  same  pbace.  Who.so 
tfcrry  ia  ii?  Either  county  haa  jurisdiction

first  exercLses  the  right  supersidea  the 
Jurisdiction  of  the  other.  Carver  county,

Hakper's  Maoazike.— The  April  No.  of 
this  excellent  Monthly  Magazine  is  at 
hand.  The  plan  of  the  M.agazino  excludes 
Politics  and  Polemics.  Apart  from  these 
topics,  it  includes  every  thing  pertaining  to 
Literature,  Art,  industry.  Popular  Science, 
and  Social  Life. 

In  the  April  number  is  commenced  a 
scries  of  papers  upon  Peru,  by  E.  G. 
•Sijuier.  Tiieso  papers  will  be  profusely 
illustrated  from  photographs  taken  iu  the 
ancient  seat  of  Inca  civilization  by  Mr. 
Stpiier,  while  acting  as  a  Special  Commis- 
sioner from  the  United  States  to  Peru. — 
These  fresh  researches  of  Mr.  Sqnier 
throw  more  light  than  anything  heretofore

IN  BELLE 


From  tlio  Northwestern  Chronlcla. 

Bk'.L£  1*lvi!«k,  March  17, 13f.-*. 

Dear  Siu  :  Knowing  that  anything,  per- 
laijii».g  to  that  National  Festtvul  which  all 
Iri.sh  Catholics,  all  over  ibe  world,  has 
clung  to  with  .so  much  love  and  veneration, 
and  to  which  th'-y  still  ding  with  that  true 
love,  and  veneration  for  Dear  Fatherland, 
wiiich  ia  the  true  and  shining  characteristic 
of  Irish  Catholics  everywhere,  has  not  been 
forgotten  ia  Belle  Plaiue. 

The  day  haa  been  duly  observed  and 
celebrat.'d  by  the  Catholics  of  this  attract- 
ive tviVn,  la  a  t.^uly  Christian  manner,  un- 
der tlie  guidance  of  their  devoted  and 
energetic  Pastor,  Father  BerghoM.  At  ten 
o'clock,  tho  Holy  Saorliice  of  the  -Mass  was 
otTereU  up,  in  which  a  numerous  and  devoted 
congregation  assisted.  And  after  the  first 
goHpol,  we  had  the  happiness  of  lisfcuiiig  to 
one  of  the  most  eloquent  and  feeling  dis- 
courses on  St.  Patrick  and  his  devoted 
children,  it  has  been  my  good  fortune  to 
listen  lo  in  many  a  year,  and  one  whieli 
must  have  brought  a  thrill  of  joy  to  every 
Irish  heart.  But  the  most  prominent  fea- 
ture of  the  day  was  the  splendid  picture  of 
St.  Patrick,  j.laced  in  our  church  for  the 
first  time  to-day.  This  jiicture  is  life  size, 
being  4.\6  feet,  and  represents  the  Saint  in 
robes,  with  Miler  and  Croziar,  and  in  the 
act  uf  driving  serpents  into  the  sea.  This 
picture   has    been    gotten    up    by    Father

The  Xew  York  Tribune  speaks  of 

"  the  force  of  Gen.  Butler's  hand  "  as  hav- 
ing been  felt  in  the  South  during  the  re- 
bellion. His  hand  was  not  particularly 
forcible,  but  what  it  lacked  in  force  it  fully 
ma>le  up  in  nimbleness. 

A  Washington  telegram  of  the  20th 

says :  "  The  cdunsel  for  the  Presideat  have 
nearly  completed  the  ground-work  of  his 
defence,  and  it  is  considered  by  certain 
prominent  lawyers  who  have  been  made 
acciuaintcd  with  the  outlines  of  it,  as  very 
strong." 

A  special  to  the  Chicago  Times  of 

the  19th  says :  "  The  President's  counsel 
were  again  in  session  to-day.  They  deny 
the  truth  of  the  publication  purporting  to 
give  the  points  of  their  defence,  and  add 
that  as  fast  as  its  details  are  arranged  they 
do  not  rush  off  to  the  newspaper  corre- 
spondents to  publish  them." 

Speaking  of  the  late  election  in  New 

Hampshire,  the  Boston  Post  says :  "  The 
Democrats  reduced  the  Radical  majority 
nearly  1,000  votes,  gained  for  their  own 
ticket  4,000,  and  made  a  net'gain  of  24  Rep- 
resentatives in  the  Legislature.  This  is 
doing  well,  and  tbe  same  ratio  of  reduc 
tion  and  increase  will  give  the  Democracy 
the  country  in  November." 

At  the  city   elections  held  on  the 

20tb,  in  Corry  and  Titusville,  Pa.,  the 
Democrats  elected  tbo  Mayor  and  a  major- 
ity cf  the  Council  in  both  places,  which 
were  never  known  to  go  Democratic  be- 
fore. At  the  election  in  Bedford,  Pa.,  on 
the  20th,  the  Democrats  carried  the  bor- 
ough by  65  majority— a  gain  of  41  from 
last  fall.  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  also  went  Dem- 
ocratic on  the  20tli. 

The  desperation  of  the  impeach- 
ment fanatics  is  shown  in  the  ridiculous 
stories  put  afloat  by  them  relative  to  an 
expected  raid  on  Washingten  from  the 
Virginia  side  of  the  Potomac  The  only 
raid  on  Washington,  says  the  Chicago 
Times,  from  which  danger  to  the  public 
welfare  need  be  apprehended  is  a  raid 
from  the  opposite  direction,  and  which  is 
even  now  inaugurated  by  the  legion  of 
Jacobin  adventurers  who  expect  to  get 
fat  offices  tinder  "  President  Wade."  This 
raid  threatens  to  be  one  of  the  most  for- 
midable assaults  upon  the  capital  that  has 
ever  been  known.

Abroad. 

The  London  Saturday  lieview  thinks  that 
General  Grant  "  on  his  own  showing  has 
been  guilty  of  some  rather  sharp  practice 
toward  his  superior."  The  actual  admis 
sions  which  Grant  makes,  and  which  have 
been  so  prominently  placed  before  Ameri 
can  readers,  are  repeated,  while,  with  re- 
gard to  Grant's  conduct  in  not  resigning 
his  position  as  Secretary  ad  interim  and 
restoring  the  place  to  the  possession  and 
disposition  ol  the  President  from  whom 
he  derived  his  appointment,  the  Saturday 
JReview  says : 

"Even  if  no  promise  had  been  given, 
General  Grant  ought  not,  with  the  full 
knowledge  of  the  President's  intentions 
possessed  by  him,  to  have  hesitated  a  mo- 
ment about  resigning  his  oQice  as  soon  as 
he  found  he  could  no  longer  act  as  an  in- 
trument  for  carrying  out  those  intentions. 
So  long  as  his  resignation  was  withheld 
the  President  naturally  counted  on  his 
support ;  and,  for  the  long  argument  which 
he  describes  himself  as  having  held  with 
the  President  on  Satiuday,  the  11th,  there 
should  have  been  substituted  the  most  un- 
mistakable act  of  resignation.  In  this  re- 
spect it  is  impossible  to  acquit  Gen.  Grant. 
It  is  to  regretted  that  his  present  relations 
with  the  Republican  party  should  supply 
an  obvious  motive  for  conduct  of  which, 
in  the  absence  of  that  pressure,  he  would 
probably  have  been  incapable."

ting it "  is  as  catting  as  it  is  quiet.

The  Pariy  Heft*.*,  to  Plead.     I  CLIPPINSS     AND      DRIPPINGS. 


The  Jacobin  majority  In  the  House  of 
Representatives  was  placed  in  an  awkward 
predicament,  on  Monday,  by  the  declara- 
tion of  republican  principies  propoaed 
by  Mr.  Ross,  of  Illinois. 

It  is  a  favorite  habit  of  that  party  to 
proclaim  its  surpassing  loyalty,  when  such 
proclamations  will  amount  to  nothing. 
When  windy  utterances  of  patriotic  senU- 
ments  will  not  stand  in  the  way  of  unpa- 
triotic actions,  no  party  in  the  world  was 
tver  more  fond  of  emitting  patriotism  in 
fettts. 

Mr.  Ross  seems  to  have  thought  it  prop- 
er to  bring  tliese  partisan  pretensions  to 
a  more  practical  test.  The  mode  selected 
was  to  propose  certain  declarations  of 
fundamental  truth,  underlying  our  repub 
Kcan  system  of  government,  and  wnich 
cannot  be  departed  from  or  denied  without 
repudiating  free  government  itself.  To 
show  the  propriety  of  a  Congrestional  af- 
firmation of  these  principles,  Mr.  Ross  re- 
cited the  well  known  fact  that  "  The  For- 
tieth Congress  has  been  charged  with  dis- 
loyalty to  tbe  Government,  and  with  a 
purpose  to  subvert  and  destroy  the  essen- 
tial principles  and  just  balance  on  which 
it  rests." 

That  such  charge  has  been  made  against 
the  Fortieth  Congress,  is  a  fkct  well  known 
to  every  member  of  this  Congress.  It  is  a 
charge  that  has  been  repeated,  ngain  and 
again,  in  all  sections ;  in  every  State  ;  in 
ways  so  general,  and  by  a  body  of  the 
people  so  numerous,  respectable,  and  in- 
fluential, that  it  cannot  be  put  away  by  a 
llippant  word  or  scornful  sneer  by  the 
parties  inculpated.  It  is  a  charge  of 
very  serious  nature.  It  is  a  charge  involv- 
ing not  only  a  large  and  powerful  majori- 
ty in  Congress  in,  at  the  least,  constructive 
treason ;  but  involving  the  rights  and  lib- 
erties of  more  than  thirty  millions  of  peo- 
ple. It  is  a  charge  that  ought  to  be  met 
and  answered  in  a  more  substantial  and 
dignified  way  than  that  of  denunciation 
or  ridicule  by  irresponsible  journalists  and 
claqvem  of  the  pirty  in  power.  It  is  a 
charge  that  is  either  true  or  false.  Mr. 
Ross  sought  to  give  the  parly  iu  Congress 
an  opportunity  to  convince  the  country 
that  it  is  false,  and  thereby  to  vindicate  the 
proclamations  of  loyalty  and  patriotism 
which  the  men  against  whom  the  charge 
is  brought  are  so  fond  of  making  when 
tbe  making  thereof  will  amoimt  to  noth- 
inc. 

If  the  charge  be  false,  then  tbe  party  in 
Congress  can  have  no  oljection  to  second- 
ing an  authoritative  declaration  that  "The 
Constitution  is  the  supreme,  paramount 
law  of  the  land." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  can  have  no 
objection  to  declaring  that  "  Congress  will 
faithfully  abide  by  and  maintain  the  essen- 
tial and  fundamental  piinciples  of  free 
government." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "  Congress  will  op- 
pose all  efforts  to  render  the  military 
independent  of,  and  superior  to,  the  civil 
power." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "Congress  will 
oppose  all  etlbrts  to  deprive  the  people 
of  the  rights  of  habeas  corpus  and  trial  by 
jury." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "  Congress  will  op- 
pose the  encroachment  of  one  department 
of  the  Government  on  another." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob 
ject  to  affirming  that  "Free  speech,  free 
persons,  and  free  ballot  are  essential  to 
liberty,  and  cannot  be  surrendered." 

If  it  be  false,  thtn  the  party  c&nnot  ob- 
ject to  assuring  the  country  that  "Con- 
gress is  opposed  to  a  large  standing 
army,"  —  that  InMrument  of  despotism 
which  is  always  dangerous  in  a  republic. 

If  it  be  false,  why  did  not  the  party  in 
Congress  say  so,  by  promptly  adopting 
these  declarations  of  the  fundamental 
principles  of  'American  republicanism, 
so  clearly  set  before  them  by  Mr.  Ross  ? 

Instead  of  doing  so,  the  party  voted  to 
refer  them  to  the  Judiciary  Committee. 
Every  ones  knows  what  that  means.  Ref- 
erence to  a  partisan  committee  is  the  con- 
venient "  tomb  of  the  Capulets  "  where  all 
partisan  inconveniences  are  put  to  rest, 
and  from  which  it  is  not  intended  that 
even  the  trump  of  Gabriel  shall  ever 
bring  them  forth.  It  is  to  that  mausoleum 
of  dead  hopes  that  Jacobinism  is  hasten- 
ing the  constitutioniil  liberties  of  the 
American  people. — Chiettgo  Times,  IHth.

— An  ingenious  but  unsuccefsful  French 
writer,  lately,  tired  of  the  hostility  of  the 
oiticfl,  repaired  to  a  distant  province,  took 
lodgings  at  a  farrier's  shop,  and  worked 
a  little  every  day  at  the  forge  and  anvil. 
But  the  greater  part  of  his  time  was  se- 
cretly devoted  to  the  composition  of  three 
large  volumes  ot  poetry  and  essays,  which 
he  published  as  the  works  of  a  journey- 
man blacksmith.  The  trick  succeeded ;

ems of  this  "  child  of  nature,"  this  "  untu- 
tored genius,"  this  "  inspired  son  of  Vul-

ly praised  by  the  critics,  and  were  soon 
purchased  by  everybody.

lar fact  that  Barnum 'a  Circassian  Beauty, 
who  was  a  marvel  of  taciturnity  while  the

reach  of  any  remarks  whatever  in  the  Eng- 
lish language,  made  a  "  statement "  in  very 
plain  Anglo-Saxon  to  the  reporters,  and 
thinks  it  a  proof  of  the  value  of  heat  as  a 
means  of  education.  It  is  certainly  a  little 
remarkable  that  a  lady  supposed  to  know 
no  language  but  tliat  spoken  in  Circassia

to  tho  fact  that  it  has  tires  of  India  rubber 
five  inches  thick  and  two  feet  broad,  which 
take  hold  of  the  ground  like  an  elephant's 
foot. 

— A  fast  young  gentleman  in  Paris  re- 
cently made  a  bet  that  he  would  secure 
his  own  arrest  without  committing  any 
crime.  He  won  by  going  to  a  fashionable 
ca_fe  in  a  shockingly  rakish  costume  and 
pulling  a  roll  of  large  bills  from  his  boot 
when  called  upon  to  pay  for  what  he  had 
eaten  and  drank.  Notwithstanding  his 
protests  he  was  carried  before  a  Justice, 
and  had  to  procure  testimony  to  his  re- 
spectability. 

— A  gang  of  women  robbers  has  just 
been  suppressed  in  Paris.  They  were  un- 
der the  command  of  a  stout,  middle-aged 
woman,  named  Catherine  Keller,  who 
planned  the  operations  and  distributed  the 
parts.  Her  Lieutenant,  who  uid  the  ac- 
tive work  out  of  doors,  was  a  young  Gen- 
evese  girl,  who  found  an  ally  in  her  sweet- 
heart, Eugene  Doulvaux.  The  various 
women  used  to  be  posted  at  the  omnibus 
stations  of  Paris. 


smee,  and,  retiring  behind  a  warL-hoiig/p, 
spent  the  day  In  druokennC'^s,  corat«>;  oul 
towards  night  with  bruispd  and  bloody 
fices. 

— Dr.  Carnochan,  a  disUngulshed  New 
York  surgeon,  has  come  near  dying  from 
the  consequences  of  a  poisoned  wound  — 
his  system  having  received  the  virus,  in  the 
course  of  an  operation,  by  a  small  junc- 
ture in  the  right  hand. 

— The  Memphis  Aoalanelti  has  he«B 
shown  a  centiped  or  "  thousand  less," 
which  was  recently  ejected  iixim  theetom- 
ach  of  a  lady,  of  Raleigh.  Some  three 
weeks  previous  the  same  woman  disgorged 
eight  or  nine  "hots'.'  ox  "earthworms" 
from  her  stomach. 

— A  German  named  Charles  Oehm,  em- 
ployed in  Miller's  brewery  iu  Galena,  111.* 
fell  into  a  vat  of  hot  beer,  and  was  so  badly 
scalded  that  he  died  in  five  hours.  Ho  was 
alone  at  this  time.  Jumping  out  of  the 
vat,  he  ran  to  a  pump  and  pumped  cold 
water  upon  himself.  Ilis  Euuerings  were 
intense. 

— A  party  of  huuters  from  San  Fran- 
cisco were  chased  by  a  grizzly  on  the 
Coast  Range,  and  one  of  them  dropped  a 
bottle  from  his  pocket.  The  bear  stopped, 
smelt  of  the  bottle,  set  himself  down  on 
his  haunches  and  taking  the  fltsk  in  his 
paws  drank  like  a  sensible  human  being, 
rubbing  his  hirsute  stomach  in  Eatisfactloui 
utterly  forgetting  his  enemies.

Art    and    Science. 

— A  Frenchman  has  invented  a  kettle  in 
which  water  is  boiled  in  six  minutes,  by 
friction,  without  any  fire. 

— A  German  doctor  has  invented  an  ap- 
paratus by  which  thunder  is  made  vieible 
through  the  object  glass  of  a  telescope. 

— Palmer,  the  sculptor,  is  in  Utica,  N. 
Y.,  engaged  upon  what  promises  to  be  one 
of  his  finest  works,  *'  The  Angel  at  the 
Sepulchre." 

— One  of  the  latest  inventions  is  a  life 
and  swimming  apparatus,  consisting  of  the 
combined  use  of  breast  and  back  floats,  so 
arranged  as  to  be  under  tbe  swimmer's 
control,  and  of  finned  gloves  and  sandals. 

— Nobel,  the  inventor  of  nitro-glycerine, 
has  a  new  blasting  powder  which  he  calls 
dynamite,  and  states  it  to  be  a  solid  of  the 
same  power,  less  danger  and  greater  facili- 
ty for  use  than  nitroglycerine. 

— A  Boston  fireman  has  invented  a  self- 
propelling  steam  fire  engine,  which  will 
run  almost  noiselessly  along  the  streets, 
up  and  down  inclines  as  well  as  on  a  level, 
and  round  the  sharpest  corners.  It  burns 
the  liquid  (petroleum)  fuel,  and  emits  no- 
smoke  while  in  operation. 

— Mr.  George  B.  Lindsey,  of  the  Des 
Moines  Register  office,  has  recently  in- 
vented a  self-locking  galley,  which  is  so 
simple,  and  yet  so  complete  and  perfect, 
that  it  is  bound  to  Eupersede  the  old-fash- 
ioned side-stick  and  quoin-locking  galley 
wlierever  it  is  introduced.  It  excites  the 
warmest  praise  from  every  printer  who 
sees  it,  says  the  Register. 

— A  resident  of  Maine  has  invented  and 
applied  for  a  patent  for  a  contrivance 
which  promises  to  do  away  with  the  com- 
mon buttonhole  in  the  collars,  cuffs  and 
all  articles  of  outside  wear  where  the  but- 
tonhole ia  tised.  It  consists  of  a  small 
and  durable  eye  upon  the  stud  or  sleeve 
button,  and  is  eecured  by  a  movable 
swivel,  which  can  be  fastened  or  undone 
instantly. 

Incidents    and    Accidents. 

— A  child  in  Grafton,  Vt.,  owing  to  a 
cold,  lost  both  its  eyes,  which  ran  out, 
and  became  deaf  and  dumb,  and  has 
lately  died  after  an  illness  of  two  months. 

— A  man  in  Chicago  named  Bross  re- 
cently nndertook  to  draw  a  load  from  a

death. 

— A  man  in  the  Cincinnati  jail  cele 
brated  the  beginning  of  his  10  year  term 
to    the     penitentiary    by     marrying    a 
girl  to  whom  he  had  been  some  time  en- 
gaged. 

— "  Poor  little  fellow,  aren't  you  cold  ? " 
said  a  pretty  young  lady  to  a  newsboy  of 
whom  she  had  mSe  a  purchase.  *'  Yes 
ma'am,  I  w<»  before  you  smiled,"  was  the 
gallant  response. 

—Two  Sandusky  boys,  of  the  age  of  10 
years,  took  a  jug  of  whisky  a  few  days

FOREIGN  INTEIiLIGENCE. 

The  war  between  the  Turks  and  Cretan 
insurgents  is  reported  at  an  end. 

Jeff.  Davis  arrived  in  Havana  on  the 
14th,  from  New  Orleans,  en  route  to  Balti- 
more. 

The  jury,  in  the  case  of  Captain  Mac- 
kay,  on  the  20th,  brought  in  a  verdict  of 
guilty  of  treason.    Sentence  was  deterred. 

Admiral  Farragut  left  Naples  on  the 
16th,  for  Rome.  He  was  escorted  to  the 
railway  station  by  the  principal  citizens  of 
Naples. 

Captain  Mackay,  recently  tried  at  Cork 
on  a  charge  of  murder,  and  acquitted,  was,

and  sentenced  to  be  hanged. 

W.  Johnson,  the  Orange  Secretary,  who

the  city  of  Belfast. 

Advices  from  Annesly  Bay,  March  0th, 
give  a  report  from  the  advance  post  of  the 
British  forces  that  General  Napier  was 
about  to  make  a  dash  on  Magdala,  hoping 
to  rescue  the  captives. 

A  Naples  dispatch  of  the  14th  says  the 
eruption  of  Vesuvius  is  increasing  in 
power  and  grandeur,  the  volcano  throw- 
ing up  vast  quantities  of  fire  and  but 
little  lava.  The  detonations  are  loud  and 
frequent. 

The  American  Minister,  General  Dix,

A  grand  wolf  hunt  came  off  in  the  coun- 
ties of  Lake,  Illinois,  and  Kenosha,  Wia, 
on  the  14th  instant.  About  five  hundred 
sportsmen  were  in  the  field.  Five  wolves 
were  partliUy  entrapped,  but  succeeded 
In  making  their  eseape.  According  to 
accounts  in  Chicago  papers,  the  hunters 
captured  one  skunk,  three  rabbits  and  a 
prairie  hen — but  no  wolf. 

A  funous  storm  of  wind  and  rain,  ac- 
companied by  thunder  and  lightning, 
passed  over  a  great  portion  of  the  West 
on  the  night  of  the  16th.  In  many  places 
in  Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Ohio,  Indiana, 
Michigan,  etc.,  houses  were  unroofed  and 
blown  down,  cars  thrown  from  the  rail- 
road tracks,  bridges  demolished  —  and 
human  life,  in  some  instances,  destroyed. 
In  Chicago,  a  large  number  of  dwellings 
were  blown  over — mostly  unfinished  and 
unoccupied.  One  occupied  house  was 
blown  down  and  the  inmates  buried  in  the 
mlns,  a  woman  killed  and  a  man  seriously 
injured.  The  iron  roof  of  the  new  ma- 
chine shop  of  the  C.  &  R.  I.  R.  R.  Com- 
pany was  lilted  bodily  and  thrown  to  the

aged. The  Chicago  papers  say  it  was  the 
severeet  gale  ever  experienced  in  that  sec- 
tion.

passengers  and  a  crew  of  forty.  Of 
these  only  fifty-seven  persons  were,  on  the 
day  of  the  accident,  known  to  have  es- 
caped. The  greater  portion  of  the  cabin 
was  carried  away  by  tho  explosion,  and  the 
boat  took  fire  immediately,  and  after  the 
remaining  upper  works  were  destroyed, 
some  powder  in  the  magazine  exploded, 
destroying  everything  but  the  hull,  which 
Boon  sunk.  Many  of  the  passengers  jumped 
overboard  and  were  drowned,  while  others 
were  burned  to  death.  The  following  is

The  Xcw  York  Tribune  speaks  of 

"  the  force  of  Gen.  Butler's  hand  "  as  hav- 
ing been  felt  in  the  South  during  the  re-

forcible,  but  what  it  lacked  in  force  it  fully 
ma-le  up  in  nimbleaess. 

A  Washington  telegram  of  the  20th 

tays :  "  The  caunsel  for  the  President  have 
nearly  completed  the  ground-work  of  his

prominent  lawyers  who  have  been  made 
acquainted  with  the  outlines  of  it,  as  very 
strong." 

A  special  to  the  Chicago  Timea  of 

the  19lh  says :  "  The  President's  counsel 
were  again  in  session  to-day.  They  deny 
the  truth  of  the  publication  purporting  to 
give  the  points  of  their  defence,  and  add 
that  as  fast  as  its  details  are  arranged  they 
do  not  rush  off  to  the  newspaper  corre- 
spondents to  publish  them." 

Speaking  of  the  late  election  in  New 

Hampshire,  the  Boston  Po.4  says :  "  The 
Dimocrats  reduced  the  Radical  majority 
nearly  1,000  votes,  gained  for  their  own 
ticket  4,000,  and  made  a  netjgain  of  24  Rep- 
resentatives in  the  Legislature.  This  is 
doing  well,  and  the  same  ratio  of  reduc 
tion  and  increase  will  give  the  Democracy 
the  country  in  November." 

At  the  city   elections  held  on  the 

20lb,  in  Corry  and  Titusville,  Pa.,  the 
Democrats  elected  the  Mayor  and  a  major- 
ity cf  the  Council  in  both  places,  which 
were  never  known  to  go  Democratic  be- 
fore. At  the  election  in  Bedford,  Pa.,  on 
the  20th,  the  Democrats  carried  the  bor- 
ough by  65  majority—  a  gain  of  41  from 
last  fall.  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  also  went  Dem- 
ocratic on  the  20th. 

The  desperation  of  the  impeach- 
ment fanatics  is  shown  in  the  ridiculous 
stories  put  alloat  by  them  relative  to  an 
expectcl  raid  on  Waahingten  from  the 
Virginia  side  of  the  Potomac.  The  only 
raid  on  Washington,  says  the  Chicago 
Ti7nes,  from  which  danger  to  the  public 
welfare  need  be  apprehended  is  a  raid 
from  the  opposite  direction,  and  which  is 
even  now  inaugurated  by  the  legion  of 
Jacobin  adventurers  who  expect  to  get 
fat  oflBces  under  "  President  Wade."  This 
raid  threatens  to  be  one  of  the  most  for- 
midiible  assaults  upon  the  capital  that  has 
ever  been  known.

The  London  Saturday  Jieview  thinks  that 
General  Grant  "  on  his  own  showing  has 
been  guilty  of  some  rather  sharp  practice 
toward  his  superior."  The  actual  admis 
sions  which  Grant  makes,  and  which  have 
been  so  prominently  placed  before  Ameri 
can  readers,  are  repeated,  while,  with  re- 
gard to  Grant's  conduct  in  not  resigning 
his  position  as  Secretary  ad  interim  and 
restoring  the  place  to  the  possession  and 
disposition  o!  the  President  from  whom 
he  derived  his  appointment,  the  Saturday 
Review  says : 

"Even  if  no  promise  had  been  given. 
General  Grant  ought  not,  with  the  full 
knowledge  of  the  President's  intentions 
possessed  by  him,  to  have  hesitated  a  mo- 
ment about  resigning  his  otlice  as  soon  as 
he  found  he  could  no  longer  act  as  an  in- 
trumert  for  carrying  out  those  intentions. 
So  long  as  his  resignation  was  withheld 
the  President  naturally  counted  on  his 
support ;  and,  for  the  long  argument  which 
he  describes  himself  as  having  held  with 
the  President  on  Saturday,  the  11th,  there 
should  have  been  substituted  the  most  un- 
mistakable act  of  ret-ignalion.  In  this  re- 
spect it  is  impossible  to  acquit  Gen.  Grant. 
It  is  to  regretted  that  his  present  relations 
with  the  Republican  party  should  supply 
an  obvious  motive  for  conduct  of  which, 
in  the  absence  of  that  pressure,  he  would 
probably  have  been  incapable." 

The  apparently  moderate  way  of  "  put- 
ting it "  is  as  catting  as  it  is  quiet. 

— The  direct  results  of  Christian  mls-

There  are  congregations  of  250,000  people,

The  Jacobin  majority  in  the  House  of 
Representatives  was  placed  in  an  awkward 
predicament,  on  Monday,  by  tho  declara- 
tion of  republican  principles  proposed 
by  Mr.  Ross,  of  Illinois. 

It  is  a  favorite  habit  of  tliat  party  to 
proclaim  its  surpassing  loyalty,  when  such 
proclamations  will  amount  to  nothing. 
When  windy  utterances  of  patriotic  senU- 
ments  will  not  stand  in  the  way  of  unpa- 
triotic actions,  no  party  in  the  world  was 
tv^r  more  fond  of  emiiting  patriotism  in 
feU  ts. 

Mr.  Ross  seems  to  have  thought  it  prop- 
er to  bring  these  partisan  pretensions  to 
a  more  practical  test.  The  mode  selected 
was  to  propose  certain  declarations  of 
fundamental  truth,  underlying  our  repub 
lican  system  of  government,  and  which 
cannot  be  departed  from  or  denied  without 
repudiating  free  government  itself.  To 
show  the  propriety  of  a  Congressional  af- 
firmation of  these  principles,  Mr.  Ross  re- 
cited the  well  known  fact  that  "  The  For- 
tieth Congress  has  been  charged  with  dis- 
loyalty to  the  Government,  and  with  a 
purpose  to  subvert  and  destroy  the  essen- 
tial principles  and  just  balance  on  which 
it  rests." 

That  such  charge  has  been  made  againet 
the  Fortieth  Congress,  is  a  fact  well  known 
to  every  member  of  this  Congress.  It  is  a 
charge  that  has  been  repeated,  again  and 
again,  in  all  sections  ;  in  every  State  ;  in 
ways  so  general,  and  by  a  body  of  the 
people  so  numerous,  respectable,  and  in- 
duential,  that  it  cannot  be  put  away  by  a 
llippant  word  or  scornful  sneer  by  the 
parties  inculpati-d.  It  is  a  charge  of 
very  serious  nature.  It  is  a  charj-^e  involv- 
ing not  only  a  large  and  powerful  ui'ijori- 
ty  in  Coneress  in,  at  the  least,  constructive 
treason ;  but  involving  the  i  ights  and  lib- 
erties of  more  than  thirty  millions  of  peo- 
ple. It  is  a  charge  that  ought  to  be  met 
and  answered  in  a  more  siibstantial  and 
dignified  way  than  that  of  denunciation 
or  ridicule  by  irresponsible  journalists  and 
daqvers  of  the  pirty  in  power.  It  is  a 
charge  that  is  either  true  or  false.  Mr. 
Ross  sought  to  give  the  party  iu  Congress 
an  opportunity  to  convirce  the  country 
that  it  is  false,  and  thereby  to  vintlicate  the 
proclamations  of  loyalty  and  p.ntriotisui 
which  the  men  against  whom  the  charge 
is  brought  are  so  fond  of  making  when 
the  making  thereof  will  amount  to  noth- 
ing. 

If  the  charge  be  false,  then  the  party  in 
Congress  can  have  no  ol  jcction  to  second- 
ing an  authoritative  declaration  that  "The 
Constitution  is  the  supreme,  paramount 
law  of  the  land." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  can  have  no 
objection  to  declaring  that  "Congress  will 
faithfully  abide  by  and  maintain  the  essen- 
tial and  fundamental  piinciples  of  free 
government." 

If  it  bo  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "Congress  will  op- 
pose all  efforts  to  render  the  military 
independent  of,  and  superior  to,  the  civil 
power." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "Congress  will 
oppose  all  ellorts  to  deprive  the  people 
of  the  rights  of  habeas  corpus  and  trial  by 
jury." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  declaring  that  "  Congress  will  op- 
pose the  encroachment  of  one  department 
of  the  G.wernment  on  another." 

If  it  be  false,  then  the  party  cannot  ob 
ject  to  affirming  that  "Free  speech,  free 
persons,  and  free  ballot  are  essential  to 
liberty,  and  cannol  be  surrendered." 

If  it  be  false,  then  tlie  party  cannot  ob- 
ject to  assuring  the  country  that  "Con- 
gress is  opposed  to  a  large  standing 
army,"  —  XhtX  fnp'rument  of  despotism 
which  is  always  dangerous  in  a  republic. 

If  it  be  false,  why  did  not  tlie  party  in 
Congress  say  so,  by  promptly  adopting 
these  declarations  of  the  fundamental 
principles  of  'American  republicanism, 
so  clearly  set  before  them  by  Mr.  Ross  y 

Instead  of  doing  so,  the  party  voted  to 
refer  them  to  the  Judiciary  Committee. 
Every  ones  knows  what  that  means.  Ref- 
erence to  a  partisan  committee  is  the  con- 
venient "  tomb  of  the  Capulets  "  where  all 
partisan  inconveniences  are  put  to  rest, 
and  from  which  it  is  not  intended  that 
even  the  trump  of  Gabriel  shall  ever 
bring  them  forth.  It  is  to  that  mausoleum 
of  dead  hopes  that  Jacobinism  is  hasten- 
ing the  coEStitulion.il  liberties  of  the

— An  ingenious  but  unsuccef.sful  French 
writer,  lately,  tired  of  the  hostility  of  the 
critics,  repaired  to  a  distant  province,  took 
lodgings  at  a  farrier's  shop,  and  worked 
a  little  every  day  at  the  forge  and  anvil. 
But  the  greater  part  of  his  time  was  se- 
cretly devoted  to  the  composition  of  three 
large  volumes  ot  poetry  and  essays,  which 
he  published  as  the  works  of  a  journey- 
man blacksmith.  The  trick  succeeded ; 
all  France  was  in  amazement.  The  po- 
ems of  this  "  child  cf  nature,"  this  "  untu- 
tored genius,"  this  "inspired  son  of  Vul- 
can," as  he  was  now  called,  were  immense- 
ly praised  by  the  critics,  and  were  soon 
purchased  by  everybody.

reach  of  any  remarks  whatever  in  the  Eng-

plain  Anglo-Saxon  to  the  reporters,  and 
thinks  it  a  proof  of  the  value  of  heat  as  a

chemistry." 

— German  red- tape  Is  illustrated  by  an

ran  twelve  miles  to  another  town  to  get 
some  tire  engines  to  put  down  a  great  con

tor Holzapfel,  of  Reifnitz.  It  consists  of 
this  line  only :  "  My  soul  to  God,  my 
body  to  earth,  and  my  money  to  our  Deaf

five  tons,  and  is  Eaid  to  be  capable  of  go- 
ing over  the  roughest  roads,  climbing  the 
steepest  hills,  and  traveling  over  ploughed

foot.

Wherever  a  f'jw  men  are  tlirown  togeth- 
er in  very  close  ami  constaut  aaaociation — 
as,  for  example,  in  the    management  of 
diderent  departments  of  the  same  busi- 
ness—they  1^11,  aa  if  by  gravitation,  into 
cerUinrdttiiite  and  fixed  relationships  to- 
vcavds  each  other,  which  soon  become  so 
well  recognized  and  admitted  that  any  in- 
ersion  ol  them  would  seem  unnatural. 
And  ip'^4  e»»ich  small  socielie?,  whatever 
.ypesT>5(fiarHCter  are  missing,  we  may 
•ou;.*"v;i'h  otrteiaty  oa-Jiading  the  wit  and 
ae^ott. 

Inilc'.'l,  I  undertake  to  say  with  confi- 
dence that  the  reader  never  knew  any 
half  score  of  nien,  exclusively  associated, 
one  of  whom  was  not  recoguized  as  the 
saytr  of -f mart  thin^,  and  another  as  the 
►:o<xl-"Hfttartd,  stupid  fellow  on  whom  it 
was  alwaj  s  safe  to  crack  your  joke. 

Ai  tlie '  MUtWaLtnent  of  Tovey  and 
Brother,  in  the  Borough,  lhc.=o  two  char- 
acters were  as  well  known  a,3  Tovey  and 
Broihcr  themselvep,  and  I  propose  now  to 
miike  them  known  to  the  reader. 

I  lak*»UTfjr  granted  that  he  does  already 
know  Tovey  and  Brother,  and  is  not  one 
of  those  who  ujiikc  the  gross  mistake  of 
calling  that  tminent  firm  Tovey  Brothers. 
Tosp^ak  qf  "Tovey  Brothers"  is,  in 
fact,  to  be  cotHy  of  a  very  uniustifiable 
misrepresentation— as  if  the  brothers  were 
on  Mj^u&l  footing.  'Whereas  the  title 
'*  Tim-yuud  Brother"  explains  itself,  and 
enables  K!)y  reflecting  person  to  under- 
fctand  that,  "Tovey"  is  Tovey  pare  and 
simple — the  head  of  the  firm;  while 
"  BruUie^'.'  though  Tovxy,  too,  is  only 

l5*tnfe  house  itself  the  one  is  always 
known  as  Mr.  Toyey,  and  the  other  as  Mr. 
Chai^l  Ah^it  thQ  reader  lias  any  thought 
of  flpfenui^  an  account  with  the  firm,  it 
mry  be  useful  to  bear  that  in  mind. 

Unless,  Jiewever,  he  is  hmisclf  in  a  con- 
siderable way  of  business,  Tovey  and 
Brother  will  not  thank  him  for  his  ac- 
cou^,  they  being  only  wholesale,  and 
wholesale  on  the  very  largest  scale. 

\Vh'..u  jou  enter  their  place  of  business, 
yoi*«»i«'»*^  wonder  (if  every  one  did  not 
know  aireacy)  what  it  is  they  deal  in  A 
few  scores  of  little  bottles  ranged  on 
shelves,  and  filled  with  various  colored 
Ti  ^(lll^lJa»ll  pmrilMrn)  ■  fnT  scores  of  lit- 
tle polished  mahogany  cases,  each  with  its 
printed  Latin  label ;  this  is  all  in  the  way 
of  stock  that  meets  the  eye. 

But  when  you  see  the  long  array  of  well- 
bound  ledgers,  journals,  cash-books,  you 
need  no  further  assurance  that  they  do  deal 
in  soQkSthic::  more  tlian  little  bottles. 

Wiien  V.  a  see  Mr.  Tovey  and  3Ir. 
Chftrl*--,  j'oa  need  not  to  be  told  that  they 
are  pr.  sperous  m6V,  and  that  their  rosy 
faces  and  I'ortly  shapes  are  those  of  men 
who  iim^  it^ijg  known  something  about 
bi^^eOottics  than  any  you  see  upon  their 
sheiv'flL 

Ordnnrily,  however,  you  might  go  in 
without'Bttuch  chance  of  seeing  either  of 
them.  'i'?>  get  to  their  private  offices,  you 
have  to  ^o  liirongh  the  ck-rka'  ufflce  first, 
and  then  tbronirh  31  r.  splutter's.  And

I  n»y«8jf  oonf«9  that  I  nevCT  In  point  of  I  Rev.  Kdwar 
fact  «>t  IwTond  the  dermis*  ofiice,  and  have 
alwayrhad  a  very  consiricrable  awe  of  Mr. 
Splu»«*T,  the  great  men's  great  man  and 
manaigtr. 

Nc^'teat  he  w^  «vcr  anything  but  very 
civil  to  mc  wben.hjj  saw  me ;  but  he  had  a 
singcflv  iGa^iitty  some  times  to  s«e  me 
even^heij  Crushing  close  past  me,  and 
thisutW  *" ''^'*'^'  -f  "^irti  perplexity  as 


Boy  a*  Z  wu,  I  dare  mj  most  of  thM« 
had  to  be  diluted  to  suit  my  comprehension 
before  they  were  told  to  me,  and  suffered 
in  the  dilution ;  but  even  yet,  as  then,  I 
think  of  Mr.  Rasper  as  a  feilow  Of  infinite 
mirth. 

1  suppose  his  humor  must  have  depended 
much  on  manner,  tone,  and  little  accidents 
of  place  which  could  not  be  rendered  on 
paper;  for  it  was  generally  understood 
that  Mr.  Rasper  was  an  ill  used  man  in 
that  he  could  never  get  any  of  his  good 
things  into  print. 

But  not  the  less,  whether  his  wit  were 
up  to  or  below  the  standard  of  the  comic 
papers,  he  served  that  office  with  fun 
enough,  and  poor  Mr.  Bog  with  more  than 
enough. 

He  did  not  often  say  ill-natured  things ; 
but  every  wit  must  have  his  butt,  his  anvil, 
on  which  to  hammer  and  sharpen  his  darts, 
and  Mr.  Bog  did  duty  in  that  capacity. 

Jester  and  jestee  were  as  unline  in  all 
respects  as  any  two  men  well  could  be. 

Mr.  Rasper's  work,  and  his  way  of  doing 
it,  were  like  his  conversation,  light  and 
sprightly.  He  moved  about  with  an  elastic 
quick  step  as  if  he  had  a  difficulty  in  re- 
fraining from  dancing.  lie  adorned  his 
writing  with  flourishes  till  it  was  hardly 
legible.  And  when  Mr.  Splutter  tried  to 
make  him  discontinue  those  embellish- 
ments, he  gave  such  whimsical  reasons 
for  their  continuance  that  he  always 
laughed  the  manager  out  of  his  attempt  to 
find  fault. 

Mr.  Bog  was  heavy  and  solid.  His 
h.indwriting  was  as  regular  as  engraving. 
Uis  ledger  had  not  a  blot  in  it  from  begin- 
ning to  end.  And  when  any  figure  in  it 
had  to  be  altered  it  was  done  so  neatly  as 
to  be  almost  an  improvement.  He  was  a 
ploddinrr,  thoroughly  reliable  man;  as 
punctual  as  the  clock,  and  as  grave  m  all 
his  ways  ;— slow  in  all  things,  but  happily 
above  all  things  "slow  to  anger." 

Jlr.  Bog  had  never  been  known  by  any 
one  in  the  oflice  to  make  a  joke ;  and  had 
not  often,  they  said,  been  made  to  compre- 
hend one.  Mr.  Raspar  never  made  anything 
else,  and  saw  them  where  others  intended 
no  such  thing.  Mr.  Bog  made  up,  however, 
for  his  dullness  by  the  frankuess  with 
which  he  admitted  it,  and  by  hia  invariable 
good  temper 

It  was  quite  impossible  to  put  him  out, 
and  when  the  suspicion  came  across  him, 
as  it  did  now  and  then,  that  Rasper  had 
been  hammering  at  him  for  an  hour  or 
more,  he  bore  no  malice,  which  was,  in- 
deed, a  feeling  into  which  he  could  not 
enter. 

There  was,  however,  one  matter  in 
which  all  in  the  office  concurred  that  they 
had  a  right  to  find  fault  with  Bog.  Ue 
was  unmarried,  and  all  the  rest  were  mar- 
ried men. 

And  on  this  shortcoming  of  his  one  and 
all  were  determined  that  he  should  have 
no  peace.  Not  a  day  passed  but  some 
new  hypothesis  was  started  as  to  the  rea- 
son of  his  continuing  a  bachelor;  not  a 
day  without  some  new  name  being  sug- 
gcited  to  him  as  that  of  a  lady  with  whom 
he  might  yet  have  a  chance.  To  all  of 
which  suggestions  Mr.  Bog  persistently 
and  good-naturedly   turned  a  deaf  ear. 

A  respite  came  to  him  twice  a  year 
(which  must  have  been  very  welcome) 
from  all  this  worrying. 

Twice  a  year  Mr.  Bog  went  on  his  trav- 
els, for  about  a  month  at  a  time.  For  it 
was  the  custom  of  the  house  to  let  their 
traveling  be  done  by  the  clerks,  instead  of 
keeping  travelers  to  do  nothing  else.  In 
this  way  one  or  two  of  them  were  always 
out,  and  all  of  them  in  turn  hid  a  pleas- 
ant relief  from  the  monotony  of  office  life. 
"Now,  Bog,"  Mr.  Rasper  would  say, 
"you  must  really  try  and  manage  it  this 
journey.  Represent  your  case  once  more 
to  that  Leicester  girl,  and  perhaps  she'll 
change  her  mind."  It  was  one  ot  Mr. 
Rasper's  friendly  assumptions  that  Mr. 
Bog  had  been  rtjected  in  every  town  he 
went  to,  and  Leicester  being  m  his  round 
it  was  uaually  the  Leicester  girl  who  was 
recommended  lor  a  second  trial. 

Mr.  Bog  would  answer  in  his  stolid  way 
that  if  she  really  did  relent  he  would  let 
Rasper  know ;  and  so  they  would  part,  and 
though  they  all  missed  Bog  when  he  was 
on  his  travels,  no  one  missed  him  more 
than  Rasper,  or  was  so  glad  as  he  to  see 
liioi  back  again. 

And  thus  the  joke  wa.?  repeated  year  af- 
ter year,  until  at  liist  Mr.  Bog's  case  came 
to  be  considered  by  all  of  tliem  so  thor- 
oughly hopeless  that  if  he  had  come  down 
some  morning  in  a  pink  vest  and  lemon 
colored  lights  no  one  would  have  thought 
it  half  so  surprising  as  that  he  should  real- 
ly take  Mr.  Rasper's  advice.  Mr.  Bog,  in- 
deed, at  forty- five  was  held  by  one  and 
all  to  be  utterly  impervious  to  female 
blandisLuisnts. 

Let  the  reatler  judge,  therefore,  for  him- 
self, with  what  effect  this  bomb-shell  lell 
in  the  office  four  days  after  Mr.  Bog  was 
supposed  to  have  started  on  one  of  his 
journeys. 

Tiie  missile  came  by  post,  in  the  shape 
of  a  newspaper  addressed  to   Mr.  Rasper. 
It  was  li  p  rovincial  paper,  not  from  Lei- 
cester, but  from  a  city  in  quite  another 
quarter. 

Mr.  Rasper  had  unfolded  it  and  looked 
it  carelessly  over- had  read  several  items 
of  load  news,  town-council  gquabbles, 
workhouse  board  meetings,  and  other  mat- 
ters in  which  he  took  not  the  slightest  in- 
terest, and  was  about  to  toss  it  into  the 
waste  basket,  when  his  eye  caught  sight 
of  a  couple  of  crosses  evidently  made  for 
the  purpose  of  attracting  attention. 

But  even  then  he  did  not  at  once  hit  the 
right  column.  "  Hunting  fixtures  for  next 
week:"  what  on  earth  do  I  care  about 
them  ?  "  Hops  two  pounds  a  cwt.  higher  "; 
well,  if  they  don't  raise  beer  it  doesn't  mat- 
ter to  me.  What  does  the  old  goose  mean 
by  marking  these  V 

At  last,  however,  he  did  find  it,  and  was 
struck  for  a  moment  speechless. 

"  Well,  by  Jove,"  he  said  at  last,  "  this 
is  something.  But  1  don't  believe  it.  Here's 
Bog  gone  and  put  a  notice  in  the  paper  to 
make  us  believe  he  has  got  married.  Lis- 
ten, here  it  is."

enough,  here's  a  note  a]>pended,  editorial  appar- 

r«ntlv. 

'•[■Unusual  interest  attached  to  this  wedding 
from  the  fact  of  the  bride  being  married— as  we 
are  permuted  to  state— on  her  tenth  birthday.'J" 

"  Very  fair,  indeed,  Mr.  Bog,  said  Ras- 
per, as  he  finished ;  "  very  creditable  for  a 
first  joke — only  it's  a  little  overdone. 
You'll  do  better  next  time.  Now,  my  mer- 
ry men,  what  do  you  think  of  it  V" 

Not  one  in  the  office  believed  a  word  of 
it,  of  course.  "  Neither  do  I,"  said  Rasper ; 
"  but  it  really  is  very  fair  for  Bog.  1  must 
go  and  show  it  to  Splutter." 

But  at  that  moment  Mr.  Splutter  came 
n,  and  on  l)cing  tendered  the  newspaper 
waived  the  ofler,  and  said,  "Ah,  ah,  I 
know  all  about  it.  Bog's  wedding— that's 
what  you  want  rae  to  look  at,  isn't  it  ? 
Bless  you,  I've  known  it  for  more  than  a 
week.  Bog  told  me  and  Mr.  Charles,  but 
made  tis  promise  to  keep  tbe  secret  till  it 
was  all  over.  He  goes  mooning  with  his 
bride  for  two  or  three  weeks,  and  then  ho 
takes  her  with  him  on  his  round.  You 
won't  see  him  here  again  this  six  weeks. 
He  was  married  the  very  morning  after  he 
left  here.  He  asked  me  to  be  present,  but  1 
could  not  go.  Now,  Mr.  Rasper,  how  do 
you  feel  now  ?  Your  occupation's  gone, 
you  will  have  nothing  to  chalT  him  about." 
And  Mr.  Splutter,  chuckling  very  loudly, 
and  rubbing  his  hands  with  glee,  was  re- 
treating to  his  own  apartment. 

**  O,  but  stop  a  minute,"  cried  Rasper. 
"  Do  you  know  all  about  this,  too  ^"  And 
he  read  him  the  editorial  note  about  the 
"  tenth  birthday." 

It  was  Mr.  Splutter's  turn  now  to  be  sur- 
prised. 

•*  Nonsense l"  he  said;  "let  me  see." 
And,  taking  the  paper,  he  read  it  for  him- 
self. "  It  must  be  a  mistake.  It  can't  be 
true.' 


***Lti»tit  R;ifi£«toa,  Jamkld*.' 
sbeT"  asked  Rasper. 

"  Some  family  connection,  I  understood 
him,"  said  Mr.  Splutter.  "  Th^  do  marry 
very  young,  1  have  been  told,  in  those  hot 
climates.  But  in  England— it  is  impossi- 
ble; it  would  not  have  been  allowed. 
And  Bog  would  not  have  done  such  a 
thing.  It  is  all  nonsense— nonsense  I" 
And  he  shut  himself  into  his  own  room. 

And,  in  sbort,  that  was  the  conclusion 
to  which  all  in  the  office  came  to,  namely, 
that  this  editorial  note  was  a  piece  of  very 
ridiculous  fooling,  which  Bog  had  pur- 
posely had  inserted  for  their  mystification. 
Considering  which  Mr.  Rasper,  who,  io 
long  as  he  nad  disbelieved  the  marriage  it- 
self, had  pronounced  the  whole  to  be  'pret- 
ty fair  for  Bog,'  said— now  that  the  mar- 
riage was  an  eitablished  fact— that  the 
ioke  about  the  bride's  age  was  also  quite 
inexcusable,  though  Bog's  first. 

During  the  six  following  weeks  of  Mr. 
Bog's  absence  he  furnished  more  conversa- 
tion to  the  office,  and  was  the  subject  of 
more  jokes  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Rasper,  even 
than  if  he  had  been  present. 

Speculation  exhausted  itself  as  to  the  re- 
ality of  this  extraordinary  editorial  note. 
But  I  am  sorry  to  say  that  at  last  the  con- 
viction gradually  established  itself  that  the 
fact  was  literally  true ;  that  Bog,  having 
married  .some  mere  child  from  a  boarding- 
school — having,  in  fact,  probably  run  olF 
with  her  for  the  sake  of  her  money,  and 
knowing  that  he  could  not  possibly  con- 
ceal the  fact  of  her  being  a  child,  had  im- 
pudently determined  to  brazen  his  mis- 
deed out  in  this  way  before  them  and  the 
world. 

And  poor  Mr.  Bog  accordingly  fell  not 
a  little  in  the  opinion  of  his  fellow-clerks. 
They  were  agreed,  one  and  all,  that  he  had 
done  a  thing  which,  in  a  man  at  his  time 
of  life,  was  unpardonable — positively  im- 
moral— and  surely  must  also  be  illegal ;  a 
thing,  in  short,  for  which  it.  would  behoove 
them  all  on  Mr.  Bog's  rett^n  to  give  him 
the  cold  shoulder  and  the  cut. 

"  I'll  be  bound  he'll  bring  her  down  to 
the  office  in  a  short  frock, "  said  Mr.  Ras- 
per, "  and  carry  her  in  on  his  arm." 

In  anticipation  of  which  very  remark- 
able advent  I  wil',  for  a  little  while,  leave 
Mr.  Rasper  and  the  office. 
n. 
While  his  own  character  was  thus  suf- 
fering, and  while  his  fellow-clerks  were 
thus  discussing  the  chances  ot  their  find- 
ing in  him  on  his  return  any  small  re- 
mains of  honor  and  morality,  Mr.  Bog's 
travels  with  his  bride  were  drawmg  near 
to  an  eai. 

The  reader  would,  indeed,  have  been 
able. to  infer  this  much  had  we,  without 
explanation  or  comment,  merely  com- 
menced this  closing  chapter  with  the  fol- 
lowiiig  letter  which  3Ir.  Bog  wrote  from 
one  of  his  resting-places. 

■'Jlydear  Mr.  Splatter, —  I  purpose  being  in 
town  again  on  Tuesday  evening  next,  but  shall 
noti  come  back  to  business  until  the  beginning  ol 
the  following  week.  Will  you  oblige  me  and  my 
wife  by  giving  us  yonr  company  on  Friday  eve- 
ning, and  by  inviting  for  me  all  ray  eopfreret  of  the 
oflice  ior  the  same  evening.  I  hate  thu  ceremony 
of  carding,  and  callinjj,  and  sitting  in  state  to  re- 
ceive visits  from  old  friends,  and  so  does  my  wife. 
If  they  wUl  all  take  it,  therefore,  in  this  informal 
way  that  we  shall  be  glud  to  see  them,— well,  glad 
we  shall  be ;  and  if  they  won't,  we  shall  be  sorry. 
'•  Friday  evening  nt  seven  ;  for  what  we  will  call 
our  'small  and  early';  being,  in  fact,  for  oflice 
people  only.  Yours  ever.  T.  F.  B." 

This  letter,  which  came  on  Monday 
morning,  was  dealt  with  by  Mr.  Splutter 
in  his  usual  prompt  and  business-like  way. 
He  simply  turned  up  one  corner  of  it, 
wrote  on  the  back  of  that  corner  in  red 
ink,  "  I  shall  go,  and  hope  you  all  will," 
and  sent  It  out  to  Mr.  Rasper  to  be  handed 
round. 

The  decision  come  to  unanimously,  in 
spite  of  the  sentence  ot  condemnation 
p>488cd  on  poor  Bog,  was  that  they  would 
go,  all  who  could,  if  it  were  only  for  the 
sake  of  having  an  early  sight  of  the  bride, 
and  giving  the  bridegroom  one  chance  of 
reinstating  himself  in  their  good  graces. 

When  the  evening  came,  therefore,  they 
look  a  couple  of  cabs,  and  all  went  down 
together— Mr  Splutter,  my  lather,  Rasper, 
Qibbs.  and  all  the  rest  of  them— they 
having  agreed  on  a  convenient  point  of 
meeting  before  they  left  the  office 

it  was  Jlr,  Bog  himself  who  received 
his  company  in  his  cos}',  well  furnished 
drn wing-room  up  stairs,  for  he  was  a  man 
of  some  little  meanp,  and  had  everything 
very  comfortable -about  him. 

"  Well,  Rasper,"  ho  said,  af  er  the  firat 
hand-shakings,  "your  constant  dropping 
has  worn  away  the  stone  ot  List.  1  could 
not  stand  it  any  longer,  you  see.  Is  it  to 
be  peace  between  us  now,  or  war  ?" 

"i  don't  quite  k-jow,"  sai.-l  Rasper,  laugh- 
ing: "  we  sliall  see." 

"  You  had  better  not  make  it  war,"  said 
Mr.  Splutter,  "for  Bog's  holid.ay  seems  to 
have  put  Lim  iu  rare  fighting  order;  bet 
ter  say  peace." 

Whereupon  Bog,  in  his  clumsy  way, 
sparred  at  Rasper  on  tho  hearth-rug,  as  if 
to  demonstrate  with  what  ease  he  could 
d  )uble  him  up. 

"  1  shall  think  about  it,"  said  Rasper ; 
"  and,  before  deciding,  should  like  to  see 
the  UUrrima  cansa  btUiy  if  that  is  what  my 
old  Latin  grammar  used  to  call  another 
fair  one." 

"  Here,"  said  Mr.  Bog,  "  in  good  time 
she  comes.  Friends,  allo'iv  me.  My  wife, 
Mrs.  Bog,  and  her  cousin,  Miss  Wheeler." 
And  in  came  the  two  ladies  as  he  spoke. 

One  was  of  middle  age,  or  apparently 
somewhat  over  the  middle  age,  wearing 
spectacles,  with  a  matronly  look  and  a 
good-tempered  face  that  was  very  pleasant 
to  look  upon.  "The  cousin,"  said  Mr. 
Rasper,  "who  comes  to  keep  house  till 
the  child-wife  is  of  age.  Just  as  I  thought." 
The  other  was  a  merry,  lau.;;hliig  young 
girl,  seemingly  of  sixteen  ot  seventeen, 
though  possibly  she  might  be  younger. 

Rasper  shook  his  head  and  looked  grave 
at  sight  of  her.  "Exactly  us  we  pre- 
dicted," he  aaid  to  his  neighbor;  "she's 
quite  a  cliild.  Really  this  is  a  bad  busi- 
ness ;  b'it  it's  always  so  whpn  men  put  off 
too  long.  Ah,  Bog,  Bog,  6he'll  be  a  hand- 
some young  widow,  my  old  friend,  when 
you  and  I  are  gone." 

He  went  over,  nevertheless,  and   made 
small  talk  to  the  young  girl  by  the  piano. 
"Been long  in  England r"  he  asked  her, 
among  other  things. 

"  No,"  she  said ;  "  only  about  a  month 
before  the  wedding." 

"  Known  Mr.  Bog  before  ?"  Mr.  Rasper 
supposed- 

"  No ;  she  had  only  seen  him  for  the 
first  time  when  she  was  up  in  London  with 
her  cousin  about  a  fortnight  before  the 
wedding.  Her  couiin  had  known  him 
many  years." 

"  You  will  find  England  very  different, 
I  suppose,"  went  on  Mr.  Rasper,  "from 
Jamaica?" 

"Jamaica?"  she  said,  laughing  ;  "  I  dare 
say  I  should  if  I  had  ever  been  there.  I'm 
only  from  Edinboro'." 

"O,  iudeed,"  he  replied;  "I  beg  your 
pardon.  Then  I  suppose  the  late  Mr.  — " 
"  I  say,  Rasper,"  called  out  Mr.  Bog  from 
the  other  side  of  the  room,  "  I  want  you 
to  come  and  say  something  clever  to  my 
wife." 

"  Your  wife  ?"  exclaimed  the  startled 
Rasper,  "  I  thought  I  wa-s  — " 

"Not  talking  to  her*"  said  Mr.  Bog. 
"  Don't  say,  now,  th*t  you  tbonght  I  had 
married  little  Rosy,"  and  be  went  off  into 
a  fit  of  laughter  <»f  'onr  diusiion.  "  Rasp- 
er," ha  said,  on  ge'r.irjf  uh  breath  again, 
"  you  reall/  did  rot  think  that— 0,  O,  O," 
and  then  went  ofi°  into  a  longer  laugh  than 
ever,  in  which  we  all  joined  him. 

"Then  what  on  earth,"  said  Rasper, 
brought  to  bay,  "  what  on  earth  was  the 
meaning  of  that  newspaper  note?" 

"Ea,  wiiatf  No?  Now  you  really 
don't  mean  to  say  you've  never  guessed 
what  that  meant?  You  don't  mean  to 
say  that  when  you  read  '  same  day  at '  so 
and  80,  you  never  carried  your  eye  up  to 
look  what  day  that  was  ?  " 

"  No,"  said  Sir.  Rasper ;  "  but  what  mat- 
ter could  that  make  ? 


w«ra  married  on  th«  twMty-nlath  of 
February  {  that  ia  my  wife's  birthday, 
and  you  know  it  only  comes  once  in  four 
years." 

"Well,  Bog,  upon  my  word  I  never 
tliought  of  that ;  and  I  have  been  nursing 
all  manner  ol  wrath  against  you." 

"  Splendid  ! "  sdd  Bof,  "splendid  !  I 
did  not  think  It  posaible  to  swindle  the 
swindler  so  completely.  The  longest  life 
I  hoped  for  my  joke  was  a  life  of  about 
five  minutes ;  and  in  the  hope  of  that  I 
got  my  friend  the  editor  to  print  me  that 
one  copy  of  the  paper  with  a  note  special- 
ly intended  for  you." 

♦'  0 1  then  Mrs.  Bog's  age  is  not  pro- 
claimed to  all  the  world,"  said  Rasper. 

"  Not  exactly,"  said  Bog ;  "  though  for 
that  matter  she  would  not  in  the  least  have 
cared  if  it  had  been." 

"  Not  at  all,"  said  Mrs.  Bog ;  "  I'm 
long  past  caring  who  knows  now  old 
lam." 

That  is  the  story  of  how  Mr.  Bog  mar- 
ried his  wife  on  her  tenth  birthday. 

"  Really,  Rasper,"  said  Mr.  Splutter,  as 
they  walked  home  together,  "that  was 
very  good  indeed  lor  Bog." 

And  Rasper  admitted  unreservedly 
that  it  really  was  very  clever,  indeed, 
considered  as  Bog's  &tbL— London  Society.

HOBIB.  FAKM  AlVn  (pABDBN. 


The  running  debate  in  the  House  on 
Saturday— chiefly  between  Mr.  Boyer  and 
Mr.   Schenck— respecting  the  legislative 
trick  by  which  the  decision  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  in  the  McCardle  case  la  at- 
tempted to  be  forestalled,  chillenges  at- 
tention.       Schenck's     jeering      defense 
amounts  to  nothing;  nor  does  his  frank 
confession  of  the  purpose  of  the  trick  de- 
servo  even  the  poor  credit  of  boldness 
The  purpose  is  so  apparent,  that  denial 
would  have  been  ridiculous ;  and  it  is  not 
boldness  but  impudence   that   makes   a 
shameless  avowel  of  what  cannot  be  con- 
cealed.   Mr.  Schenck  said  he  had  "no 
confidence  in  the  majority  of  the  Supreme 
Court ; "  which  means  that  he  had  no  ex- 
pectation that  the  Supreme  Court  would 
sustain  the  Reconstruction  [acts.    Those 
acts  are  so  clearly,  so  flagrantly  unconsti- 
tutional, that  no  tribunal  at  once  honest 
and  Independent  could  fail  to  declare  them 
void;    and  this  sudden    trap    has    been 
sprung    to    prevent    a   decision    which 
would  foil  the  designs  of  the  Republican 
party. 

Schenck's  attempts  to  smooth  over  the 
trick  were  wholly  unsuccessful.    The  bill 
for  giving  the  Collectors  of  Internal  Rev- 
enue the  same  rights    in    the    Supreme 
Court  as  the  Collector  of  Customs  was 
entirely  proper  and  unobjectionable  ;  and 
when  Mr.  Schenck  asked  for  unanimous 
consent  to  take  it  from  the  table  and  put 
it  upon  Its  passage,  there  was  no  objection. 
But  Schenck  knew,  and  all  his  accom- 
plices in  the  trick  knew,  that  no  Demo- 
cratic member  would  have  consented,  if 
he  supposed  it  was  designed  to  tack  on  an 
amendment    for    taking    the    McCardle 
case  out  ot  the  Supremo  Court.    The  ap- 
peal to  the  courtesy  of  the  Democratic 
members  was  Iraudulent,  and  the  abuse 
of  their  courtesy  after  consent  was  given, 
disgraceful.    It   ia    not   correct    to    say 
thai  the  tricK  was  of  little  consequence 
inasmuch  as  the  Republicans  have  majority 
enough  to  have  passed  the  amendment  in 
any  event.    They  could  have  pasted  the 
amendment;  but  without  the  unanimous 
consent  obtained  under  false  pretences,  they 
could  not  have  pas^sed  it  so  soon.    In  this 
stage  oi   the  controversy  time  is  a  vital 
element,  as  much  so  as  It  is  in  militaiy 
operations  when  a  few  hours'  diflerence  in 
the  arrival  of  troops  may  decide  the  fate 
of  a  battle.    The  McCardle  case  is  already 
in  the  Supreme  Court ;  it  has  already  been 
argued ;  the  Court  is  deliberating  on  their 
decision ;  and  if  it  should  be  announced 
before  tuis  amendment  becomes  a  law,  the 
Reconstruction    scheme    topples    to    the 
ground.    A  single  day  may  make  all  the 
difference  between  success  and  total  defeat. 
The  President  is  entitled  to  ten  days  to 
prepare  a  veto,  and  every  day  which  might 
have  been  added  to  those  ten  would  have 
increased  the  peril  impending    over  the 
Republican  party.    If  the  Democrats  had 
not  given  their  consent  to  take  up  the  in- 
nocent bill  upon  which  this  sinister  amend- 


Dr.  8.  W.  Mitchell,  of  this  city,  has  just 
completed  a  second  carefully  conducted 
series  of  experiments  upon  the  venom  of 
the  rattlesnake.    The  principal  conclusions 
to  which   he   arrives  are  as  follows:    1. 
There  is  no  antidote  to  this  poison,  the 
remedies  usually  applied  being  nearly  or 
entirely  useless.     Carbolic  acid,  applied 
externally,  sometimes  delays  the  fatal  re- 
sult—merdy,  however,  by  affecting  the 
local  circulation.    Used  Internally,  it,  as 
well  as  the  sulphites  or  hyposulphites  of 
soda,  so  much  recommended,  have  no  anti- 
dotal power.    2.  The  poison  is  absolutely 
harmless  when  swaJlowed.    It  is  even  given 
internally  to  many  different  animals  with- 
out any  tffect  whatever;   while   several 
cases   are    known    where   scientific   (we 
might,  perhans,  add  foolhardy)  men  have 
taken  it  themselves  without  injury     This 
innocuous  result  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
poison  is  mcapable  of  passing  through  th« 
mucous  surfkce,  as  well  as  that  it  is  so 
altered  during  digestion  as  to  enter  the  blood 
as  a  harmless  substance.    Applied  to  the 
rectvun  of  a  pigeon  or  the  conjunctiva  of 
animals,  it  had  no  effect.    3.  The  poison  is 
not  injurious  to  the  rattlesnake  it£elf,or  to 
any  other  of  its  own  species. 

This  confirms  the  conclusions  of  Guyon, 
corroborating  also  the  testimony  of  Chas. 
Waterton,  who  made  a  venomous  South 
Ajnerican  serpent  bite  Itself,  .\lthout  inju- 
rious result  to  it.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that 
Dr.  Mitchell  pronounces  against  the  value 
ot  any  internal  remedies,  after  a  careful 
discussion  of  those  most  generally  accepted. 
For  the  best  treatment  of  a  case  ol  serpent 
poison  we  must  refer  to  his  memoir,  mere- 
ly remarking  that  he  attaches  considerable 
value  to  alcoholic  stimulants,  especially 
where  the  patient  was  not  intoxicated 
at  the  lime  of  being  bitten. — PhiXadelplda

ment  was  so  suddenly  and  dishonesty 
clapped,  it  must  have  gone  over  under  tUe 
rules,  auvl  the  Republicans  raia;hl  have  lost 
time  enough  to  insure  tlie  death  nf  their 
policy.  The  asking  far  unanimous  consent 
was  as  deceptive  a  trick  as  was  ever  prac- 
ticed. The  amendment  is  entirely  f -reign 
Ui  the  purpose  of  the  origiual  bill.  What 
connection  has  the  McCardle  cas9  with  suits 
to  which  Collectors  of  Internal  Revenue 
are  parlies  ?  Who  could  have  suspected 
that  two  subjects  so  totally  unrelated  would 
be  jumbled  together  in  the  same  bill? 
W  hen  unanimous  consent  to  take  up  the 
bill  had  been  obtained,  there  was  no  possi- 
bility of  heading  ofi'  the  amendment,  a  fact 
which  would  have  prevented  men  of  honor 
or  fairness  from  obtaining  the  consent  by 
fraud. 

It  remains  to  be  seen  whether  the  Re- 
publican party  gains  any  immediate  ad- 
vantage by  this  dishonest  trick.  So  all  de- 
pends now  on  whether  the  Supreme  Court 
announces  Its  decision  be  lore  the  expira- 
tion of  the  ten  days  allowed  the  President 
to  consider  the  bill.  We  suppose  the  Court 
will  neither  hasten  nor  delay  its  judgment 
in  consequences  of  this  legislation ;  but  If 
the  bill  becomes  a  law  before  the  judg- 
ment is  pronounced,  the  silence  Imposed 
upon  the  Court  will  have  the  usual  effect 
ot  an  adverse  detl?ion.  Such  a  bill  is  a 
confe-ssion  that  the  Reamslructlon  acts  are 
unconstitutional,  and  that  the  Supreme 
Court,  if  permitted  to  decide,  would  de- 
clare them  80. 

When  Mr.  Schenck  says  he  has  "  no  con- 
fidence in  the  majority  of  the  Supreme 
Court."  the  country  will  understand  him 
as  admitting  that  the  legislatiim  of  Con- 
gress Is  repugnant  to  the  Constitution. 
This  implied  admission  is  bottomed  upon 
solid  reasons.  The  Reconstruction  law 
aabstitutes  trial  by  military  commissions 
for  trial  by  jury.  It  requires  no  learning 
in  the  Supreme  Court,  but  only  honesty 
and  independence,  to  adjuge  these  mili- 
tary commissions  inconsistent  with  the 
declaration  of  the  Constilutioa  that  "  tJie 
trial  of  all  crimes,  except  in  cases  of  impeach- 
ment, .SHALL  BE  BT  JURY ;"  and  inconsistent 
with  the  farther  declaration  tbit  "in  ail 
criminol  proxe^utions.  Vie  accused  ihall  enjoy 
the  rigfU  lo  x  spbkdy  akd  pui'.i.ic  trial. 
BY  AN  IMPARTIAL  JVRY  qftheStaU  and  dis- 
trict wherein  the  crime  smR  have  been  com 
mitted."  No  honest  court  can  decide  that 
the.se  plain  declarations  of  the  Constitu- 
tion are  not  contravened  by  a  law  which 
takes  away  trial  by  jury  in  criminal  prose- 
cutions. Schenck's  want  of  confidence  in 
the  Supreme  Court  is  easily  accounted  for 
on  the  principle  that  "no  rogue  e'er  felt 
the  halter  draw  with  good  opinion  of  the 
law."  The  Rcpublic.m  party  is  a  fugitive 
from  justice,  and,  like  all  fugitives  from 
justice,  it  has  no  confidence  in  courts. 

Schenck  said,  in  his  remarks  on  Satur- 
day, that  the  Supreme  Court  has  no  right 
io  de<Adc  political  questions.  'The question 
whether  persons  accused  of  crime  are  en- 
titled to  a  trial  by  jury  is  not  a  political 
question,  but  a  question  of  criminal  law. 
Wliat  SchcLck  probably  meant  wa«,  that 
courts  had  no  right  to  stand  between  the 
Government  and  citizens,  but  only  to 
decide  cases  in  which  the  Government  has 
no  interest.  Such  a  maxim  is  the  very 
essence  of  tyranny.  Even  the  infamous 
Jefiriea,  whos^.  name  has  so  long  been  the 
synonym  of  judicial  disgrace,  was  an  up- 
right jadge  In  private  controvcrsijw.  The 
judicial  iniquity  for  which  Jeffries  is 
"damned  to  everlasting  fame"  consisted 
only  lu  lending  himielf  to  be  the  tool  of 
the  Government  in  prosecutions  against 
private  Eubjicts.  The  same  remark  is  true 
of  all  the  infamous  judges  under  the  Stuart 
dynasty, 


A   correspondent   of    the   New   York 

World,  who  attended  the  polls  in  Alabama 
during  the  voting  there,  and  who  has  been 
collecting  information  in  regard  to  the 
manner  in  which  the  election  was  conduct- 
ed in  different  portions  of  the  State,  pre- 
sents the  people  of  the  North  with  this 
pleasant  reminiscence : 

"  Something  like  a  third  of  the  entire 
vote  cast  in  the  State  was  received  on  no 
better  evidence  than  tffldavits  of  registry 
In  other  counties,  and,  for  my  own 
part,  I  saw  several  administered.  This 
was  the  procees.    Enter  Timbuctoo. 

"  •  What's  your  name  ? ' 

" '  Pomp.' 

" '  Pomp  what  ? ' 

"  •  Pomp  Jones,  sah.' 

"  *  Show  your  ticket,'  and  a  great  paw 
would  reach  out  a  ragged  sleeve,  and 
thrust  a  dirty  scrap  under  the  judge's  nose. 
No  such  name  as  given  would  be  found 
upon  the  list,  and  then  would  come  the  bal- 
ance of  the  formula.  I  quote  from  the 
printed  document : 

-"I, ,  do  solemnly  swear  thst  I  i»m  duly 

registered  as  a  quallfled  voter  in  the  county  of , 

in  tbis  Slate;  that  1  now  reside  in  this  couuiy, 
and  that  1  have  not  voted  at  this  election,  so  help 
me  God.' 

"  Pomp,  or  Cuff,  or  Cudjo  would  swal- 
low It  all,  meekly  taking  off  his  hat  as  he 
was  bidden,  and  holding  up  his  hand  and 
nodding  like  a  toy  mandarin  at  every 
other  word  m  the  oath.  In  would  go  his 
vote  ;  and  now  take  him  out  and  ask  him 
what  •  solemnly  '  meant,  or '  qualified,'  or 
•  reside,'  and  Pomp's  big  mouth  would 
open  and  his  eyes  would  ttretch,  and  nine 
times  in  ten  would  tell  you,  '  Fore  God, 
mas'r,  I  dunno  nuffin  'bout  all  dis  yer,  but 
dey  tole  ue  we  mus'  come  and  put  de  ting 
in  de  box  or  dey  would  fine  us  or  put  us  in 
de  jail.' " 

And  these  are  the  kind  of  people  the 
Radicals  wish  to  make  the  rulers  of  the 
Southern  States !

Cream  Cake.— Break  two  eggs  in  a 
coffee  cup  and  fill  the  cup  with  sour 
cream;  one  cup  sugar,  one  and  a  half 
cups  flour,  one  teaspoonful  soda,  one  cream 
tartar;  to  be  baked  in  layers,  whipped 
cream  or  frosting  to  be  put  between  each 
layer. 

To  Fry  Chickens.- Cutup  the  chickens 
and  let  them  lie  m  salt  and  water  twenty 
minutes,  drain  and  season  with  salt  and 
pepper ;  prepare  six  eggs  well  beaten,  and 
five  crackers,  rolled  fine,  stir  well  together, 
roll  each  piece  in  this,  and  fry  brown  in 
hot  lard. 

The  Rtv.  W.  T.  "Wylie,  of  Newcastle, 
Pa.,  recommends  grape  culture  as  an  em- 
ployment suita-le  and  profitable  for 
women.  He  says  that  an  apt  and  diligent 
woman  could  earn  ten  times  more  money 
in  a  year  by  raising  grapes  than  by  plying 
her  needle. 

Abparagus,  in  order  to  produce  large 
shoots,  should  have  plenty  of  rocm  in  the 
bed,  the  crown  of  the  root  be  kept  six 
inches  below  the  surface  in  very  rich,  loose 
soil,  and  the  shoots  cut  deep  in  the  ground 
when  the  tops  are  not  more  than  an  inch 
or  two  above  the  surface. 

Venttlation. — Every  warm  and  clear 
day,  at  this  season  of  the  year,  should  be 
taKen  advantage  of  to  throw  open  doors 
and  windows,  to  give  thorough  ventilation 
to  apartments  that  have  been  closed  almost 
constantly  during  the  long  winter  months. 
Many  houses  need  ventilation  in  the  spring 
as  much  as  the  hold  of  a  ship  after  a  long 
voyage. 

Cement.— Alum  and  plaster  of  Paris, 
well  mixed  with  water,  and  used  in  a 
liquid  state,  will  form  a  very  useful  cement. 
It  will  be  found  handy  in  the  laboratory 
for  many  purposes.  It  forms  a  very  hard 
composition,  and  for  fixing  the  brasses,  «tc., 
paraffin  lamps,  nothing  could  be  belter. —

To  Make  Tocon  Beef  Tender.— To 
those  who  have  worn  down  their  teeth 
masticating  poor,  tough  beef,  we  will  say 
that  carbonate  of  scSa  will  be  foimd  a 
remedy  for  the  evil.  Cut  the  steaks  the 
day  before  using  into  slices  about  two 
inches  thick,  rub  over  them  a  small  quan- 
tity of  soda,  wash  the  next  morning,  cut 
into  suitable  thicknesses,  and  cook  to 
notion.  The  same  process  will  answer 
for  fowls,  legs  of  mutton,  eic.— Exchange 

Test  your  Kerosene. — In  view  of  the 
many  lamp  explosions  resulting  almost  in- 
variably from  the  use  of  bad  kerosene  we 
urge  upon  the  heads  of  families  the  im- 
portance of  testing  their  oil  before  use  in 
the  lamp.  This  may  be  readily  done  by 
any  man,  woman,  or  child,  by  means  of  a 
thermometer,  a  little  warm  water  and  a 
tablespoonful  of  the  oil.  Fill  the  cup 
with  warm  water,  the  temperature  of 
which  is  to  be  brought  to  110  deg.  Fah. 
Pour  the  oil  on  the  water  ;  apply  flame  to 
the  floating  oil  by  match  or  otherwise.  If 
the  oU  is  unsafe  it  wUl  take  fire,  and  its 
use  in  the  lamp  is  dangerous, /or  it  isliab'.e 
to  eiplude.  But  if  the  oil  is  safe  and  good 
it  will  not  take  fire.  All  persons  who  sell 
kerosene  that  will  not  stand  the  fire  test  at 
110  degrees  are  liable  to  prosecution.-

Age  ol'  Animals. 

The  average  of  cats  is  15  years  ;  squir- 
rels and  hares,  7  to  8  years ;  a  bear  rarely 
exceeds  20  years ;  a  dog  lives  20  years ;  a 
wolf  20 ;  a  fox  14  to  16  ;  lions  are  long-lived 
the  one  known  bv  the  name  of  Pompey 
lived  to  the  age  of  70 ;  elephants  have  been 
known,  it  is  asserted,  to  live  to  the  great 
age  of  400  years.    When  Alexander  the 
Great  had  conquered  Poms,  king  of  India, 
he  took  a  great  elephant  and  named  him 
Ajax,  dedicated  him  to  the  snn,  and  let 
him  go  with  the  Inscription  :  "Alexander, 
the  son  of  Jupiter,  dedicated  Ajax  to  the 
sun."    The  elephant  was  lound  with  this 
inscription  350  years  after.     Pigs   have 
been  known  to  live  to  the  age  of  20,  and 
the  rhinosceros  to  20;  a  horse  has  been 
known  to  live  to  the  age  of  62,  but  aver- 
age 25  to  80 ;  camels  sometimes  live  to  the 
age  of  100;    stags  are  very  long  lived; 
sheep  seldom  exceed  the  age  of  ten  ;  cows 
live  about  15  years.    Cuvier  considers  it 
probable  that  whales  sometimes  live  1,000 
years ;  the  dolphin  and  porpoise  attain  the 
age  of  30  ;  an  eagle  died  at  Vienna  at  the 
age  of  104  ;  ravens  frequently    reach  the 
age  of  100;  swans  have  been  known  to 
live  3(X)  years.     Mr.  Marlertcn  has  the 
skeleton  ol  a  swan  that  attained  the  age  of 
20^3  years.    Pelicans  are  long-lived ;  a  tor-

The  question, 
mllktd,   dally? 

time  to  time,  from  the  fact  that  when  calves 
are  running  with  their  dims,  the  times 
of  milking  are  more  frequent  than  under 
the  common,  artificial  system,  which  is 
twice  a  day,  ordinarily,  while  it  may  be 
four  or  five  times  a  day  when  the  cows  are 
sucked  by  their  progeny,  and  ofcener,  even, 
when  there  is  a  shortness  of  supply,  as  In 
poor  milkers. 

Cows,  it  is  said,  by  an  EiigUah  writer,  in 
a  luxuriant  pasture,  where  they  can  soon 
fill  their  bellies,  invariably  feed  four  times 
a  day,  first,  early  in  the  morning,  again 
before  noon,  in  the  afternoon,  and  late  in 
the  evening,  and  the  calves  suck  on  these 
8c7eral  occasions,  on  the  ccws  rising  from 
rumination,  to  replenish  their  txbansted 
stomachs.  This  order  will  vary  in  lees 
luxurious  pastures. 

The  writer  referred  to  gives  the  follow- 
ing in  regard  to  artificial  management :  Ist, 
when  cows  and  calves  are  separated  and 
brought  together  morning  and  evoning  ; 
2i,  when  separated  as  above  and  brought 
together  morning,  noon,  and  evening  ;  3d, 
when  cows  are  milked  twice  by  hand, 
morning  and  evening ;  4th,  when  milked 
three  times  a  day,  morning,  noon  and 
evening;  5th,  four  times  a  day,  making 
seven  hours  between  the  night  and  morn- 
ing milking,  or  a  little  more,  and  about 
five  hours  and  a  half  between  the  others. 
Of  the  first  four  times  of  milking,  our 
author  says  he  has  had  varied  experience. 
The  writer  wished  it  borne  in  mind  that 
his  observation  was  conlined  to  cows 
highly  ltd,  his  query  bein^  whether  cows 
thus  treated  are  more  liable  to  grow  fat 
and  dry  up,  when  milked  only  twice,  than 
if  milked  three  times  a  day  ?  According 
to  his  experience,  there  arc  11  hours  be- 
tween evening  and  morning  with  but 
two  milklngs,  and  10  between  morning 
and  evening;  in  summer,  13  and  11  hours 
between  milkings. 

In  further  discussing  this  suljeci,  he 
says,  it  should  be  borne  In  mind,  that  the 
manufacturing  of  meat,  as  it  were,  and  of 
milk,  arc  continuously  going  on  in  tlie 
healthy  cow,  so  that  it  does  not  retiuire 
much  force  to  turn  the  balance  either  way. 
especially  when  there  is  a  tendency  to  the 
secretion  of  fat ;  in  such  cases  it  must  be 
adverse  to  the  secretion  of  milk.  Hence, 
with  healthful  cows,  with  proper  and  high 
feed,  three  mllklDgs  a  day  are  better  than 
two,  provided  milk  is  desired,  in  its  brgest 
quantity. 

The  present  system  of  milking  but  twice 
a  day  took  its  rise  when  cows  were  less 
highly  fed  than  now,  and  gave  much  less 
milk  per  day ;  hence,  its  inapplicability  to 
deep  milkers  of  the  present  day.  Four 
times  a  day  is  better,  even,  than  three, 
wh'en  cows  are  kept  on  luxuriant  feed,  as 
intimated  above,  when  milking  should  cor- 
respond with    "the    periods   of  healthy

Wherever  a  fjw  men  are  thrown  togetli- 
cr  in  very  close  aoU  constaut  association — 
as,  for  example,  in  the  management  of 
ihii'erent  departments  ot'  the  same  busi- 
ness— they  tail,  a3  if  by  gravitation,  into 
certain  Jcliaile  and  fixed  relationships  to- 
wands  each  other,  -which  soon  become  so 
well  ricofinizeti  and  admitted  that  any  in- 

CiSidu  ol  tbem  would  seem  unnatural. 
And  in^U  fittch  small  societie!?, ■whatever 
.ypesr)f'(fiar'icter  are  missing,  we  may 

•lui  iv;\\h.  ctrtaiaty  oalioding  the  wit  and 

indeed,  I  undertake  to  say  with  confi- 
dence tnat  the  reader  never  knew  any 
btti!"  score  of  men,  exclusively  associated, 
oi3t'  ot  wLnm  wfis  not,  recogui/ed  as  the 
sayf  r  of  smai  i  tbiepip,  and  another  as  the 
f^  ootl-i!»turcd,  stupid  fellow  on  whom  it 
was  aiwy}s  fsik-  to  crr.ck  your  joke. 

Ai  tttt  establishment  of  Tovey  and 
Brot'jer,  in  the  Borough,  lhc?=o  two  char- 
acter., were  as  vrell  kuown  a3  Tovey  and 
Brother  thtinstlvep,  and  I  propose  now  to 
make  ihem  known  to  the  reader. 

1  lake  i&  tVir  granted  that,  he  does  already 
buo^  Tovey  and  Brother,  and  is  not  one 
of  those  -who.  iU'.ko  the  prosa  mistake  of 
c•■1^1'n^-  tba*  eminent  firm  Tovey  Brothers. 
To  sprak  of  "Tovey  Brothers"  is,  in 
iact,  tJ  bj  cuilty  of  a  very  unjustifiable 
misrt-prcscnt:ition — as  if  the  brothers  were 
on  »ii#:qual  fodting.  Whereas  the  title 
'•■iovcy  uiid  Brother"  explains  itself,  and 
enablea  any  reflectiug  perton  to  under- 
Etiinu  that  "Tovey"  is  Tovey  pure  and 
iimple — the  head  of  the  firm;  while 
"  BrojJaer,"  tlioogh  TOTey,  too,  is  only 
Toi^s^FHb  a  limLUitinn. 

In  the  house  itself  the  one  is  always 
ki:own  as  Mr.  Tove}',  and  the  other  as  Mr. 
C'iarka ;  aniJit  tho  reider  has  any  thought 
of  Opt:nlGg  an  account  with  the  firm,  it 
ra.^y  be  uscfnl  to  bear  that  in  mind. 

Unle.=.'',  Jioneyer,  he  is  huasclf  in  a  con- 
siderable way  ».f  business,  Tovey  and 
Brotiier  will  not  thank  him  for  his  ac- 
cocrfr,  they  being  only  wholesale,  and 
wh^desale  on  the  very  largest  scale. 

Wiuu  Aou  enter  their  pUice  of  business, 
yo'*«ii<ht.  wonder  (if  every  one  did  not 
kn.'W  aiit,*(  y)  what  it  z^  they  deal  in.  A 
few  scores  of  little  bottles  ranged  on 
shrives,  and  filled  with  various  coU^red 
iiq\uc!3^MMt«pawdMi ;  -a  few  acoree  ot  lit- 
tle poli'^hed  mahogany  cases,  each  with  its 
printtd  Latin  label ;  this  is  all  in  the  way 
of  stock  that  meets  the  eye. 

But  when  youeee  thelongarray  of  well-  \ 
bouud  ledgers,  journals,  cnsh-books,  you 
reed  no  i'aFther  assurance  that  they  do  deal 
ui  t^attihiBg  more  Umn  little  bottles. 

Wnen  yoa  see  Mr.  Tovey  and  Sir. 
Chr.rlt'S,  yoa  need  not  to  be  told  that  they 
are  prosperous  luen,  and  that  their  rosy 
I'dccs  and  portly  shapes  are  those  of  men 
who  l^c  long  known  something  about 
bi^goAottles  than  any  you  see  upon  their 
shel  v-^L- 

OrJ^-ttarily,  however,  you  might  go  in 
without  jnuch  chance  of  seeing  either  of 
them.  T?>  t^t  to  their  private  offices,  you 
have  to  go  ihrctigh  the  clerks'  office  .^rat, 
and  then  t^ou?h  Mr.  Splutter's.  And 
unless  Vf  u.  busiBeas  is  of  very  unusual 
importi'tue,  you  will  find  it  quite  withiu

failiri|3j|lMf'^<.  Certainly  within  llr.  Splut- 
ter'?, witbout  interniption  to  the  newspa-

I  i-.tyBeJf  conf«9  that  I  never  in  point  of 
iV. ',  '»ot  beyond  the  clerks*  ofllce,  and  have 
a:  wu^B  had  a  very  consirlerable  awe  of  .Mr.

Tor  everything,  and 


BoT  u  Z  v^M,  I  dare  hj  moat  ot  thea^ 
had  to  be  dilated  to  suit  my  comprehension 
before  they  were  told  to  me,  and  Bufiored 
in  the  dilution ;  but  even  yet,  as  then,  I 
think  of  Mr.  Rasper  as  a  feilow  Of  infinite 
mirth. 

1  suppose  hishumorrausthavedepfuded 
much  on  manner,  tone,  and  little  accidents 
of  place  which  could  not  be  rendered  on 
paper;  for  it  was  generally  understood 
that  Mr.  Rasper  was  an  ill  used  man  in 
that  he  could  never  get  any  of  his  good 
things  into  print. 

But  not  the  less,  whether  his  wit  were 
up  to  or  below  the  standard  of  the  comic 
papers,  he  served  that  oflice  with  fun 
enough,  and  poor  Mr.  Bog  with  more  than 
enough 

He  did  not  often  say  ill-natured  things ; 
but  every  wit  must  have  his  butt,  his  anvil, 
on  which  to  hammer  and  sharpen  his  darts, 
and  Mr.  Bog  did  duty  in  that  capacity. 

Jester  and  jestee  were  as  unlitce  in  all 
respects  as  any  two  men  well  could  be. 

Mr.  liasp2r'3Work,andhi3way  of  doing 
it,  were  like  his  conversation,  light  and 
sprightly.  He  moved  about  with  an  elastic 
quick  step  as  if  he  had  a  difBculty  in  re- 
fraining from  dancing,  lie  adorned  his 
writing  with  flourishes  till  it  was  hardly 
legible.  And  when  Mr.  Splutter  tried  to 
make  him  discontinue  those  embellish- 
ments, he  gave  such  whimsical  reasons 
for  their  continuance  that  he  always 
laughed  the  manager  out  of  his  attempt  to 
find  fault. 

Mr.  Bog  was  heavy  and  solid.  His 
handwriting  was  as  regular  as  engraving. 
His  ledger  had  not  a  blot  in  it  from  begin- 
ning to  end.  And  when  any  figure  in  it 
had  to  be  altered  it  was  done  so  neatly  as 
to  be  almost  an  improvement.  He  was  a 
ploddinrr,  thoroughly  reliable  man;  as 
punctual  as  the  clock,  and  as  grave  in  all 
bis  ways  ;— slow  in  all  things,  but  happily 
above  all  things  "slow  to  auger." 

Mr.  Bog  had  never  been  known  by  any 
one  in  the  office  to  make  a  joke ;  and  had 
not  often,  they  said,  been  made  to  compre- 
hend one.  3Ir.  Rasper  never  made  anything 
else,  and  saw  them  where  others  intended 
no  such  thing.  Mr.  Bog  made  up,  however, 
for  his  dullness  by  the  frankness  with 
which  he  admitted  it,  and  by  his  invariable 
good  temper 

It  was  quite  impossible  to  put  him  out, 
and  when  the  suspicion  came  across  him, 
as  it  did  now  and  then,  that  Rasper  had 
been  hammering  at  him  for  an  hour  or 
more,  he  bore  no  malice,  which  was,  in- 
deed, a  feeling  into  which  he  could  not 
enter. 

There  was,  however,  one  matter  in 
which  all  in  the  office  concurred  that  they 
had  a  right  to  find  fault  with  Bog.  He 
was  unmarried,  and  all  the  rest  were  mar- 
ried men. 

And  on  this  shortcomicjr  of  his  one  and 
all  were  determined  that  he  should  have 
no  peace.  Not  a  day  passed  but  some 
new  hypothesis  was  started  as  to  the  rea- 
son of  his  continuing  a  Imchelor;  not  a 
day  without  some  new  name  being  sug- 
geited  to  him  as  that  of  a  lady  with  whom 
he  might  yet  have  a  chance.  To  all  of 
which  suggestions  Mr.  Bog  persistently 
and  good-naturedly   turned  a  deaf  ear. 

A  respite  came  to  nim  twice  a  year 
(which  must  have  been  very  welcome) 
from  all  this  worrying. 

Twice  a  year  Mr.  Bog  went  on  his  trav- 
'^Is,  for  about  a  month  at  a  time.  For  it 
was  the  custom  of  the  house  to  let  their 
traveling  be  done  by  the  clerks,  instead  of 
keeping  travelers  to  do  nothing  else.  In 
this  way  one  or  two  of  them  were  always 
out,  acd  all  of  them  in  turn  h<id  a  pleas- 
ant relief  from  the  monotony  of  office  life. 
"Now,  Bof,"  Mr.  Rasper  would  say, 
"you  must  really  try  and  manage  it  this 
journey.  Represent  your  case  once  more 
to  that  Leicester  girl,  and  perhaps  she'll 
change  her  mind."  It  was  one  ot  Mr. 
liasper's  friendly  assumptions  that  Mr. 
Bog  had  been  rtjected  in  every  town  he 
went  to,  and  Leicester  being  m  his  round 
it  was  u.=iuaUy  the  Leicester  girl  who  was 
rcc'  )mmendal  tor  a  second  trial. 

Mr.  Bog  would  answer  in  his  stolid  vroy 
that  if  she  really  did  relent  he  would  let 
Rasper  know ;  and  so  they  would  part,  and 
though  they  all  missed  Bog  when  he  was 
on  his  travels  no  one  missed  him  more 
than  Risper,  or  was  so  glad  a?  he  to  see 
hi'jLi  b^ick  again. 

And  thus  the  joke  wa.s  repeated  year  af- 
ter year,  until  at  l.tst  Mr.  Bog's  case  came 
to  be  considered  by  all  of  tUem  so  thor- 
oughly hopeless  that  if  he  had  come  down 
some  miming  in  a  pink  vest  and  lemon 
colored  tights  no  one  would  have  thought 
it  half  so  surprising  as  that  he  should  real- 
ly take  Mr.  Rasper's  advice.  Mr.  Bog,  in- 
deed, at  forty-five  was  lield  by  one  and 
all  to  be  utterly  impervious  to  female 
blandish  uients. 

Let  tiic  reailer  judge,  therefore,  for  him- 
self, with  wlni  ellect  this  borab-shell  liell 
in  the  office  four  days  after  Mr.  Bog  was 
supposed  to  have  started  on  one  of  his 
journeys. 

Tixe  mL^sile  cime  by  post,  in  the  shape 
of  a  newspaper  addressed  to   Sir.  Rasper. 
It  was  !i  provincial  paper,  not  frum  Lei- 
cester, but  from  a  city  in  quite  another 
cjuarter. 

Mr.  Rasper  had  unfolded  it  and  looked 
it  carelessly  over— had  read  several  items 
of  local  news,  town-council  Equabblci., 
workhouse  board  meetings,  and  other  mat- 
ters in  which  he  took  not  the  slightest  in- 
terest, and  was  about  to  toss  it  into  the 
waste  basket,  when  his  eye  caught  sight 
of  a  couple  of  crosses  evidently  made  for 
the  pirpose  of  attracting  attention. 

But  even  then  he  did  not  at  once  hit  the 
right  column.  *'  Hunting  fixtures  for  next 
week ;"  what  on  earth  do  I  care  about 
them  *  "  Hops  two  pounds  a  cwt.  higher  "; 
well,  if  they  don't  raise  beer  it  doesn't  mat- 
ter to  me.  What  does  the  old  goose  mean 
by  marking  these':" 

At  last,  however,  he  did  find  it,  and  was 
struck  for  a  moment  speechless. 

"  Well,  by  Jove,"  he  said  at  last,  "  this 
is  something.  But  1  don't  believe  it.  Here's 
Bog  gone  and  put  a  notice  in  the  paper  ta 
make  us  believe  he  has  got  married.  Lis- 
ten, here  il  is." 

" '  Slime  dny,  ut  St.  Ambrose  In  this  city,  by  tho 
Ttev.  Kdwaid  Wheeler,  the  rector.  Mr.  Thoiaas 
Frederick  lioi:,  of  Iliybnry,  to  Emily,  only  daugh- 
ter cf  the  laii' Theodore  i'hiUipf,  E;<q.,  of  Kings- 
ton, Jaranica." "  And  then,  as  if  that  were  not 
enough,  here's  a  note  appended,  editorial  appar- 
restlv. 

'•[I'nusual  interest  attached  to  this  wedding 
from  the  fact  of  the  bride  being  married— as  we 
are  pf  rmitted  to  i:iate--on  her  tenth  birthday.'J" 

"Very  fair,  indeed,  Mr.  Bog,  said  Ras- 
per, as  he  finished ;  "  very  creditable  for  a 
first  joke — only  it's  a  little  overdone. 
You'll  do  better  next  time.  Now,  my  mer- 
ry men,  what  do  you  think  of  it  >'' 

Nor.  one  iu  the  office  believed  a  word  of 
it,  of  course.  "  Neither  do  I,"  said  Rasper ; 
"  but  it  really  is  very  fair  for  Bog.  1  must 
go  and  show  it  to  Splutter." 

But  at  that  moment  Mr.  Splutter  came 
n,  and  on  being  tendered  the  newspaper 
waived  tho  offer,  and  said,  "Ah,  ah,  I 
know  all  about  it.  Bog's  wedding— that's 
what  you  want  me  to  look  at,  isn't  it  ? 
Bless  you,  I've  known  it  for  more  than  a 
week.  Bag  told  me  and  Mr.  Charles,  but 
made  us  promise  to  keep  the  secret  till  it 
was  all  over.  He  goes  mooning  with  his 
bride  for  two  or  three  weeks,  and  then  he 
takes  her  with  him  on  his  round.  You 
won't  see  him  here  again  this  six  weeks. 
He  was  married  the  very  morning  after  he 
left  here.  He  asked  me  to  be  present,  but  1 
could  not  go.  Now,  Mr.  Rasper,  how  do 
you  feel  now  ?  Your  occupation's  gone. 
You  will  have  nothing  to  chaU"  him  about." 
And  Mr.  Splutter,  chuckling  very  loudly, 
and  rubbing  his  hands  with  glee,  was  re- 
treating to  his  own  apariment. 

"  O,  but  stop  a  minute,"  cried  Rasper. 
"  Do  you  know  all  about,  this,  too  r"  And 
he  read  him  the  editorial  note  about  the 
"  tenth  birthday." 

Il  was  Mr.  Splutter's  turn  now  to  be  sur- 
prised. 

•'  Nonsense  1"  he  said ;  "  let  me  see." 
And,  taking  the  paper,  he  read  it  for  him- 
self. "  It  must  be  a  mistake.  It  can't  bo 
true.' 


Jamalaa.'    Wha  Ia 


she?"  asked  Rasper. 

"  Some  family  connection,  I  understood 
him,"  said  Mi-.  Splutter.  "  They  do  marry 
very  young,  1  have  l)een  told,  in  those  hot 
cliiuales.  But  in  Loglaud— il  is  impossi- 
ble; it  would  not  have  been  allowed. 
And  Bog  would  not  have  done  such  a 
thing,  it  is  all  nonsense— nonsense  1" 
And  he  shut  himself  into  his  own  room. 

And,  m  short,  that  was  the  conclusion 
to  which  all  in  the  office  came  to,  namely, 
that  this  editorial  note  was  a  piece  of  very 
ridiculous  fooling,  which  Bog  had  pur- 
posely had  inserted  for  their  mystificatitm. 
Considering  which  Mr.  Rasper,  who,  so 
long  as  he  nad  dis<believed  the  marriage  it- 
self, had  pronounced  the  whole  to  be  'pret- 
ty fair  for  Bog,'  said— now  that  the  mar- 
riage was  an  established  fact— that  the 
joke  about  the  bride's  age  was  also  quite 
inexcusable,  though  Bog's  first. 

During  the  six  following  weeks  of  Mr. 
Bog's  absence  he  furnished  more  conversa- 
tion to  the  office,  and  was  the  subject  of 
more  j  )kes  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Rasper,  even 
than  it  he  had  been  present. 

Speculation  exhausted  itself  as  to  the  re- 
ality of  this  extraordinary  editorial  note. 
But  I  am  sorry  to  say  that  at  last  the  con- 
viction gradually  established  itself  that  the 
fact  was  literally  true  ;  that  Bog,  havmg 
married  some  mere  child  from  a  boarding- 
school— having,  in  fact,  probably  run  olf 
with  her  for  the  sake  of  her  money,  and 
knowing  that  he  could  not  possibly  con- 
ceal the  fact  of  her  beluga  child,  had  im- 
pudently deicrmined  to  brazen  his  mis- 
deed out  in  this  way  before  them  and  the 
world. 

And  poor  Mr.  Bog  accordingly  fell  not 
a  little  ia  the  opinion  of  his  fellow-clerks. 
They  wore  agreed,  one  and  all,  that  he  had 
done  a  thing  which,  in  a  man  at  his  lime 
of  life,  was  unpardonable — positively  im- 
moral— and  surely  must  also  be  illegal ;  a 
thing,  iu  short,  fur  which  it.  would  behoove 
them  all  on  Mr.  Bog's  relui-n  to  give  him 
the  cold  shoulder  and  the  cut. 

"  I'll  be  bound  he'll  bring  her  down  to 
the  office  in  a  short  frock,"  said  Mr.  Ras- 
per, "  and  carry  her  in  on  h;s  arm." 

In  anticipation  of  which  very  remark- 
able advent  I  wil',  for  a  little  while,  leave 
Mr.  Rasper  and  the  office. 

IL 

While  his  own  character  was  thus  suf- 
fering, and  while  his  fellow-clerks  were 
thus  discussing  the  chances  ot  their  find- 
ing in  him  on  his  return  any  small  re- 
mains of  honor  and  morality,  Mr.  Bog's 
travels  with  his  bride  were  drawing  near 
to  an  eaJ. 

The  reader  would,  indeed,  have  been 
able. to  infer  this  much  had  we,  without 
explanation  or  comment,  merely  com- 
menced this  closing  chapter  with  the  fol- 
lowing letter  which  Mr.  Bog  wrote  from 
one  01  his  resting-places. 

•'M.ydear  Mr.  Splutter, —  I  purpose  being  in 
town  again  on  Tuesday  evening  nest,  but  shall 
noti  come  back  to  busirese  until  the  begbining  oJ 
the  following  week.  Will  you  oblige  me  and  my 
wife  by  giving  ui«  your  company  on  Friday  eve- 
ning, and  by  invitiu<:  for  me  all  ray  confreres  of  the 
oflice  ior  the  same  evening.  I  hate  tlie  ceremony 
of  carding,  and  calling,  and  eittiog  in  btate  to  re- 
ceive visits  from  old  friends,  and  so  does  my  wife. 
If  they  will  all  take  it,  therefore,  in  this  Informal 
way  tnat  we  shall  be  gliid  to  see  them,— well,  t'lad 
we  shall  be  ;  and  if  they  won't,  we  shail  be  corry. 
"  Friday  evening  at  seven  ;  for  what  we  will  call 
our  ^rnall  and  early';  being,  iu  fact,  for  oflice 
people  only.  Yonrsever.  T.  F.  B." 

This  letter,  which  came  on  Monday 
morning,  was  dealt  with  by  Mr.  Splutter 
in  his  usual  prompt  and  business-like  way. 
He  simply  turned  up  one  corner  of  it, 
wrote  on  the  back  of  that  corner  in  red 
ink,  "  I  shall  go,  and  hope  you  all  will," 
and  sent  it  out  to  Jtlr.  Rasper  to  be  handed 
round. 

The  decision  come  to  unanimously,  in 
spite  of  the  sentence  ot  condemnation 
piisscd  on  poor  Bog,  was  that  they  would 
go,  all  who  could,  if  it  were  only  for  the 
sake  of  haviug  an  early  sight  of  the  bride, 
and  giving  the  bridegroom  one  chance  of 
reinsiating  himself  in  their  good  graces. 

When  the  eveniag  came,  rhorelore,  they 
took  a  couple  of  cabs,  and  all  went  down 
together— Mr  Splutter, my  lather.  Rasper, 
Qibbs.  and  all  the  rest  of  them— they 
haviug  agreed  on  a  convenient  point  of 
meeting  before  Ihey  left  the  office 

it  WHS  Mr.  Bog  hims'jU  who  received 
his  company  in  his  cos}-,  well  furnished 
drawing-room  up  «;tairf,  ior  he  was  a  innn 
of  some  little  meanp,  and  had  everythin;^ 
Very  comfottabie  about  him. 

"  Well,  Rasper,"  ho  said,  af  er  the  first 
hand-shakinL:s,  "your  constant  dropping 
has  worn  away  the  stone  at  last.  I  could 
not  stand  it  auy  longer,  you  see.  Is  it  to 
be  peace  between  \n  now,  or  war?" 

"I  don't  ciuiie  k-jow,"  sai.i  Raspcr,.;augh- 
ing  :  "  we  shall  sec." 

"  Vou  had  better  not  make  it  war,"  said 
Mr.  Splutter,  "for  Bog's  holiday  seems  to 
have  put  Lim  iu  rare  fighting  order;  bet 
ter  say  peace." 

Whereupon  Bog,  in  his  clumsy  way, 
sparred  at  Rasper  on  tho  hearth-rug,  as  if 
to  demonstrate  witi  what  ease  he  could 
d  tuble  him  up. 

"  I  shall  think  about  it,"  said  Rasper ; 
"  and,  before  deciding,  yiiould  like  to  see 
the  ULuiima  causa  bdli,  if  that  is  what  my 
old  Latin  grammar  used  to  call  another 
fair  one." 

"  Here,"  siid  Mr.  Bog,  "  in  good  time 
she  comas.  Friends,  allow  me.  .My  wife, 
Mrs.  Bog,  and  her  cousin,  Miss  Wheeler." 
And  in  came  the  two  ladies  as  he  spoke. 

One  was  of  middle  age,  or  apparently 
somewhat  over  the  middle  age,  wearing 
spectacles,  with  a  matronly  look  and  a 
good-tempered  face  that  was  very  pleasant 
to  look  upon.  "The  cot^sin,"  said  Mr. 
Rasper,  "who  comes  to  keep  hou.se  till 
the  child  w  if  J  is  of  age.  Just  as  1  thought." 
The  other  was  a  merry,  laui^hing  young 
girl,  seemingly  of  sixteen  or  soveuteen, 
though  possibly  she  might  be  younger. 

Rasper  shook  his  head  and  looked  grave 
at  sight  of  her.  "Exactly  as  we  pre- 
dicted," he  said  to  his  neighbor;  "she's 
quite  a  cLild.  Really  this  is  a  bad  busi- 
ness ;  b-.'.t  it's  always  so  whpn  men  put  oil" 
too  long.  Ah,  Bog,  Bog,  She'll  be  a  hand- 
some young  widow,  my  old  friend,  when 
you  and  I  are  gone." 

He  went  over,  revertheleas,  and  made 
small  talk  to  the  young  girl  by  the  piano. 
"  Been  long  in  England?"  he  asked  htr, 
among  other  thincs. 

"  No,"  she  said ;  "  only  about  a  month 
before  the  wedding." 

"  Known  Mr.  Bog  before  V"  Mr.  Ra«per 
supposed. 

"  No ;  she  had  only  seen  him  for  the 
first  time  when  she  was  up  in  London  with 
her  cousin  about  a  fortnight  before  the 
wedding.  Her  couiin  had  known  him 
many  years." 

"  You  will  find  England  very  different, 
I  suppose,"  went  on  Mr.  Rasper,  "from 
Jamaica?" 

"Jamaica?"  she  said,  laughing  ;  "  I  dare 
say  I  should  if  I  had  ever  been  there.  I'm 
only  from  Edinboro'." 

"  O,  indeed,"  he  replied ;  "  I  beg  your 
pardon.  Then  1  suppose  the  late  Mr.  — " 
"  I  say.  Rasper,"  called  out  Mr.  Bog  from 
the  other  side  of  the  room,  "  I  want  you 
to  come  and  say  scmclhing  clever  to  my 
wife." 

"Your  wife?"  exclaimed  the  startled 
Rasper,  "  I  thought  I  was  — " 

"Not  talking  to  her>"  said  Mr.  Bog. 
"  Don't  Fay,  now  tli*t  you  thought  I  hsid 
married  little  Rosy,"  and  ue  went  oft"  into 
a  fit  of  laughter  ot  onp  dijx»>.>"n-  "  Rasp- 
er," h^  said,  on  geuitg  ui-»  breath  again, 
"  you  reall/  did  not  think  that— O,  O,  O," 
and  then  went  ofi"  into  a  longer  laugh  than 
ever,  iu  which  we  all  joined  him. 

"Then  what  on  earth,"  said  Rasper, 
brought  to  bay,  "  v.hat  on  earth  was  the 
meaning  of  that  newspaper  note?" 

"Eii,  wiiat?  No?  Now  you  really 
don't  mean  to  say  you've  never  guessed 
what  that  meant?  You  don't  mean_  to 
say  that  when  vou  read  '  same  day  at '  so 
and  so,  you  never  earned  your  eye  up  to 
look  what  d.ay  that  was  ?  " 

"  No,"  said  Air.  Rasper ;  "  but  what  mat- 
ter could  that  make  ?  " 
"  All  the  matter,"  said  Mr.  Bog.    "  We 


wes'd  nifcrvled  6U  iLo  tW6Sity.nlath  of 
February;  that  i«  my  wife's  birthday, 
and  you  know  it  only  comes  onco  in  four 
years." 

"Well,  Bog,  npon  my  word  I  never 
Uioughl  of  that ;  and  I  have  been  nursing 
all  manner  ot  wrath  a^inst  you." 

"Splendid!"  said  Bog,  "splendid!  I 
did  not  think  it  possible  to  swindle  the 
swindler  so  completely.  The  longest  life 
I  hoped  for  my  joke  was  a  life  of  about 
five  minutes ;  and  in  the  hope  of  that  I 
got  my  friend  the  editor  to  print  me  that 
one  copy  of  the  paper  with  a  note  special- 
ly intended  for  you." 

"  O !  then  Mrs.  Bog's  age  is  not  pro- 
claimed to  all  the  world,"  said  Rasper. 

"  Not  exactly,"  said  Bog ;  "  though  for 
that  matter  she  would  not  in  the  least  have 
cared  if  it  had  been." 

"  Not  at  all,"  said  Mrs.  Bog ;  "  I'm 
long  past  caring  who  knows  how  old 
I  am." 

That  is  the  story  of  how  Mr.  Bog  mar- 
ried his  wife  on  her  tenth  birthday. 

"  Really,  Rasper,"  said  Mr.  Splutter,  as 
they  walked  home  together,  "that  was 
very  good  indeed  tor  Bog." 

And  Rasper  admitted  unreservedly 
that  it  really  was  very  clever,  indeed, 
considered  as  Bog's  first. — London  Society. 


ConfcrcuH 


and      the 
Court. 


tiiapreBae 


clefense 


The  running  debate  in  the  House  on 
Saturday— chiefly  between  Mr.  Boyer  and 
Mr.  Schenck— respecting  the  legislative 
trick  by  which  the  decision  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  in  the  ^loGardle  case  is  at- 
tempted to  be  forestalled,  chiUenges 
tention.        Schenck's     jeering 
amounts  to  nothing;  nor  does  his  irank 
confession  of  the  purpose  of  the  trick  de- 
serve even  the  poor  credit  of  boldness 
The  purpose  is  so  apparent,  that  denial 
would  have  been  ridiculous ;  and  it  is  not 
boldness  but  impudence   that   makes   a 
frhamiless  avowel  of  what  cannot  be  con- 
cealed.   Mr.  Schenck  said  he  had  "no 
confidence  in  the  majority  of  the  Supreme 
Court ; "  which  means  that  he  had  no  ex- 
pectation that  the  Supreme  Court  would 
sustain  the  Reconstruction  lacts.    Those 
acts  are  so  clearly,  so  flagrantly  unconsti- 
tutional, that  no  tribunal  at  once  honest 
an<l  independent  could  fail  to  declare  them 
void ;    and  this  sudden   trap    has    been 
sprung    to    prevent    a    decision    which 
would  foil  the  designs  of  the  Republican 
party. 

Schenck's  attempts  to  smooth  over  the 
trick  were  wholly  unsuccessful.    The  bill 
for  giving  the  Collectors  of  Internal  Rev- 
enue the  same  rights   in    the    Supreme 
C.  urt  as  the  Collector  of   Customs  was 
entirely  proper  and  unobjectionable  ;  and 
when  Mr.  Schenck  asked  for  unanimous 
consent  to  take  it  from  the  table  and  put 
it  upon  its  passage,  there  was  no  objection. 
But  Schenck  knew,  and  all  his  accom- 
plices in  the  trick  knew,  that  no  Demo 
cratic  member  would  have  consented,  if 
he  supposed  it  was  designed  to  tack  on  an 
amendment    for    taking    the    McCardle 
case  out  ot  the  Supremo  Court.    The  ap- 
pe.;l  to  the  courtesy  of  the  Democratic 
members  was  Iraudulent,  and  the  abuse 
of  their  courtesy  alter  consent  was  given, 
disgraceful.    It   is    not   correct    to    siy 
that  the  tries  was  of  little  consequence 
inasmuch  as  the  Republicans  have  majority 
enough  to  have  passed  the  amendment  in 
any  event.    They  could  have  passed  the 
amendment;  but  without  the  unanimous 
consent  obtained  under  false  pretences,  they 
could  not  have  pa-^std  it  so  soon.    In  this 
stage  oi   the  controversy  time  is  a  vital 
element,  as  much  so  as  It  is  in  militaiy 
operations  when  a  few  hours  dillerencein 
the  arrival  of  troops  may  decide  the  fate 
of  a  battle.    The  McCardle  case  is  already 
in  the  Supreme  Court ;  it  ha.s  already  been 
argued ;  the  Court  is  deliberating  on  their 
decision ;  and  if  it  should  be  announced 
before  tuis  amendment  becomes  a  law,  the 
Reconstruction    scheme    topples    to    the 
«rnind.    A  single  day  may  make  all  the 
diflerence  between  succesaand  total  defeat. 
The  President  is  entitled  to  ten  days  to 
prepare  a  veto,  and  every  day  which  might 
have  been  added  to  those  teu  would  have 
increased  the  peril  impending    over  the 
Republican  party.    If  the  Democrats  had 
not  given  their  consent  to  take  up  the  in- 
nocent bill  upon  which  this  sinister  amend- 
rosnt  was   so    sudden!}'  and    dishonesty 
clapped,  it  must  have  gone  over  under  the 
rules,  and  the  Republicans  might  have  lost 
time  enough  to  insure  tue  death  of  their 
policy.    The  asking  for  unaiiimous  consent 
was  as  deceptive  a  trick  as  was  ever  prac- 
ticed.   The  amendment  ia  entirely  f  reign 
to  the  purpose  of  the  original  bill.     What 
connection  has  the  McCaidle  case  with  suits 
to  which  Collectors  of  Internal  Revenue 
are  parties  ?    Who  could  have  suspected 
that  two  subjects  so  totally  unrelattd  would 
be   jumbled    together  in  the  same  bill? 
^Vhen  unanimous  consent  to  take  up  the 
bill  had  been  obtained,  there  was  no  possi- 
bility of  heading  ofi'  the  amendment,  a  fact 
which  would  have  prevented  men  of  honor 
or  fairness  from  obtaining  the  consent  by 
fraud. 

It  remains  to  be  seen  whether  the  Re- 
publican party  gains  ar.y  immediate  ad- 
vantage by  this  dishonest  trick.  So  all  de- 
pends now  on  whether  the  Supreme  Court 
announces  its  decision  be  lore  the  expira- 
tion of  the  ten  days  allov.ed  the  President 
to  consider  t  he  bill.  We  suppose  the  Court 
will  neither  hasltn  nor  delay  its  judgment 
in  consequences  of  this  legislation ;  but  if 
the  bill  becomes  a  law  before  the  judg- 
ment is  pronounced,  the  silence  imposed 
upon  the  Com  twill  have  the  usual  effect 
ot  an  adverse  det  i«ion.  Such  a  bill  is  a 
confession  that  the  Reconstruction  acts  are 
unconstitutional,  and  that  the  Supreme 
Court,  if  permitted  to  decide,  would  de- 
clare them  90. 

When  Mr.  Schenck  saya  he  has  "  no  con- 
fidence in  the  majority  of  the  Supreme 
Court,"  the  country  will  understand  him 
as  admitting  that  the  legislation  of  Con- 
gress is  repugnant    to   the   Constitution. 
This  implied  admission  is  bottomed  upon 
solid  reasons.    The    Reconstruction  l!iw 
Bibstitutcs  trial  by  military  commissions 
for  trial  by  jury.    It  rtquires  no  learning 
in  the  Supreme  Court,  but  only  honesty 
and  independence,    to  adjuge  these  ir.ili 
tary    commissions  inconsistent   with  the 
declaration  of  the  Constitution  that  "th^ 
trial  of  aU  crimes,  except  in  eases  of  impeach- 
ment, .SHALL  BE  BT  JURY ;"  and  inconsistent 
with  the  further  declaration  that  "tn  fdl 
criminal  prosorutiona,  the  accused  hhnll  en  joy 
the  rigJU  to  x  spekdy  and  piiu.ic  tuial 
BY  -VN  IMPARTIAL  JURY  qftheStrite  and  dis- 
trict wharein  the  crime  shall  have  been  com 
mined."    No  honest  court  can  decide  that 
these  plain  declarations  of  the  Constitu- 
tion are  not  contravened  by  a  law  which 
takes  away  trial  by  jury  in  criminal  prose- 
cutions.   Schenck's  want  of  confidence  in 
the  Supreme  Court  is  easily  accounted  for 
on  the  principle  that  "no  rogue  e'er  felt 
the  halter  draw  with  good  opinion  of  the 
law."    The  Republics  party  is  a  fugitive 
from  justice,  and,  like  all  fagilivts  from 
justice,  it  has  no  confidence  in  courts. 

Schenck  said,  in  his  remarks  on  Satur- 
day, that  the  Supreme  Court  has  no  right 
to  decide  j)oii<icaZ  questions.    The  question 
whether  persons  accused  of  crime  are  en- 
titled to  a  trial  by  jury  is  not  a  political 
question,  but  a  question  of  criminal  law. 
What  SoheLck  probably  meant  wa°,  that 
courts  had  no  right  to  stand  between  the 
Government   and   citizen?,   but   only   to 
decide  casts  in  which  the  Government  has 
no  interest.    Such  a  maxim  is  the  very 
essence  of  tyranny.     Even  the  infamous 
Jell'rie.'^,  whose  name  has  so  long  been  the 
synonym  of  judicial  disgrace,  was  an  up- 
right jadge  in  private  controversies.    The 
judicial    iniquity    for   which    Jeflries    is 
•*  damned  to  everlasting  fame  "  consisted 
only  in  lending  himielf  to  be  the  tool  of 
the  Government  in  prosecutions  against 
private  eubjicta.    The  same  remark  is  true 
of  all  the  infamous  jadges  under  the  Stuart 
dynasty. 
Tixe  most  characteristic  mark  by  which 


duspoliam  differs  from  fjc-cdom.  is  found 
in  the  relation  of  the  judges  to  the  Gov- 
ernment.   Justice  between  private  parties 
is  as  fairly  administered  by  the  judges  of 
France  under  Louis  Napoleon,  as  it  is  in 
England  or  America.    It  is  only  when  the 
Government  has  an   interest  that  rights 
are  insecure  in  the  courts  of  a  despotitm  ;  i 
and  Mr.  Schenck's  maxim  that  our  courts 
have  no  right  to  decide  a  case  against  the  I 
wishes  of  the  political  department  of  the 
Government,  will,  if  accepted,  reduce  this 
country  to  a  condition  as  abject  as  that  of 
England  when  the  infamous  Jtflries  was 
the  abettor.of  regal  tyranny.    The  framers 
of  our  Constitution,  with  this  portion  of 
English  Ixistory  fresh  in  their  minds,  in- 
tended  to  make  the  judiciary  a  barrier 
against  governmental  oppression  as  well 
as  a  dispenser  of  justice  in  private  cases. 
What  but  jealousy  of  the  Government  led 
them  to  give  a  life-tenure  to  the  judges 
and  to  protect  their  salaries  against  dimi- 
nution ?    And  even  with  these  safieguards 
they  feared  the  subserviency  of  the  courts 
to  the  Government,  and  guaranteed  a  trial 
by  jury  ui  all  criminal  cases.    And  these 
barriers  are  all  to  be  swept  away,  because 
Congress  is  impatient  of  any  judicial  re- 
straint on  its  absolute  will !— iV.  T.  World,

The  Poison  ol*  Uattlesnakes. 

Dr.  8.  W.  Mitchell,  of  this  city,  has  just 
completed  a  second  carefully  conducted 
series  of  experiments  upon  the  venom  of 
the  rattlesnake.  The  principal  conclusions 
to  which  he  arrives  are  as  follows:  1. 
There  is  no  antidote  to  this  poison,  the 
remedies  usually  applied  being  nearly  or 
entirely  useless.  Carbolic  acid,  applied 
externally,  sometimes  delays  the  fatal  re- 
sult—merely, however,  by  affecting  the 
local  circulation.  Used  internally,  it,  as 
well  as  the  sulphites  oi  liyposulphites  of 
soda,  so  much  recommended,  have  no  anti- 
dotal power.  2.  The  poison  is  absolutely 
harmless  when  swallowed.  It  is  even  given 
internally  to  many  different  animals  with- 
out any  tflect  whatever;  while  several 
cases  are  known  where  scientific  (we 
might,  perhaps,  add  foolhardy)  men  have 
taken  it  themselves  without  injury  This 
iimocuous  result  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
poison  is  incapable  of  passing  through  the 
mucous  surface,  as  well  as  that  it  is  so 
altered  during  digestion  as  to  enter  the  blood 
as  a  harmless  substance.  Applied  to  the 
rectum  of  a  pigeon  or  the  conjunctiva  of 
animals,  it  had  no  eflcct.  o.  The  poison  is 
not  injurious  to  the  rattlesnake  it£elf,or  to 
any  other  of  its  own  species. 

This  confirms  the  conclusions  of  Guyon, 
corroborating  also  the  testimony  of  Chas. 
Waterton,  who  made  a  venomous  South 
American  serpent  bite  itself,  Aithout  inju- 
rious result  to  it.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that 
Dr.  Mitchell  pronounces  against  the  value 
ot  any  internal  remedies,  after  a  careful 
discussion  of  those  most  generally  accepted. 
For  the  best  treatment  of  a  case  ot  serpent 
poison  we  must  refer  to  his  memoir,  mere- 
ly remarking  that  he  attaches  considerable 
value  to  alcoholic  stimulants,  especially 
where  the  patient  was  not  intoxicated 
at  tho  time  of  being  \i\iXQXi..— Philadelphia

A  correspondent  of  the  New  York 
World,  who  attended  the  polls  in  Alabama 
during  the  voting  there,  and  who  has  been 
collecting  information  in  regard  to  the 
manner  in  which  the  election  was  conduct- 
ed in  different  portions  of  the  State,  pre- 
sents the  people  of  the  North  with  this 
pleasant  reminiscence : 

"  Something  like  a  third  of  the  entire 
vote  cast  in  the  State  was  received  on  no 
better  evidence  than  affidavits  of  registry 
in  other  counties,  and,  for  my  own 
part,  I  saw  several  administered.  This 
was  the  process.    Enter  Timbucloo. 

" '  What's  your  name  5 ' 

"  •  Pomp.' 

"  •  Pomp  what  ? ' 

"  '  Pomp  Jones,  sah.' 

"  *  Show  your  ticket,'  and  a  great 
would  reach  out  a  ragged  sleeve, 
thrust  a  dirty  scrap  under  the  judge's  nose. 
No  such  name  as  given  would  be  found 
upon  the  list,  and  then  would  come  the  bal- 
ance of  the  formula.  I  quote  from  the 
printed  document: 

•"I. ,  do  Bolemnly  swear  that  I  am  duly 

reglBt«red  ae  a  quulltied  voter  in  the  county  of , 

iu  tnis  State;  that  1  now  reside  iu  this  county, 
and  that  I  have  not  voted  at  this  election,  80  help 
me  God.' 

"  Pomp,  or  Cuff,  or  Cudjo  would  swal- 
low il  all,  meekly  taking  off  his  hat  as  he 
was  bidden,  and  holding  up  his  hand  and 
noJding  like  a  toy  mandarin  at  every 
other  word  m  the  oath.  In  would  go  his 
vote  ;  and  now  take  him  out  and  ask  him 
what  •  solemnly  '  meant,  or '  qualified,'  or 
'  reside,'  and  Pomp's  big  mouth  would 
open  and  his  eyes  would  fctretch,  and  nine 
times  in  ten  would  tell  you,  *  Fore  God, 
mas'r,  1  dunno  nuffln  'bout  all  dis  yer,  but 
dey  tole  us  we  mus'  come  and  put  de  tiiig 
in  de  box  or  dey  would  tine  us  or  put  us  in 
de  jail.' " 

And  these  aie  the  kind  of  people  the 
Radicals  wish  to  make  the  rulers  of  the

Cream  Cake.- Break  two  eggs  in  a 
coffee  cup  and  fill  the  cup  with  sour 
cream;  one  cup  sugar,  one  and  a  half 
cups  flour,  oneteaspoonful  soda,  one  cream 
tartar;  to  be  baked  in  layers,  whipped 
cream  or  frosting  to  be  put  between  each

To  Frt  CmcKEN's.— Cutup  the  chickens 
and  let  them  lie  in  salt  and  water  twenty 
minutes,  drain  and  season  with  salt  and 
pepper ;  prepare  six  eggs  well  beaten,  and 
five  crackers,  rolled  fine,  stir  well  together, 
roll  each  piece  in  this,  and  fry  brown  in 
hot  lard. 

The  Rev.  W.  T.  Wylie,  of  Newcastle, 
Pa.,  recommends  grape  culture  as  an  em-  I 
plojment  suitable  and  profitable  for  I 
women.  He  says  that  an  apt  and  diligent 
woman  could  earn  ten  limes  more  money 
in  a  year  by  raising  grapes  than  by  plying 
her  needle. 

Asp.vRAGCS,  in  order  to  produce  large 
shoots,  should  have  plenty  of  room  in  the 
bed,  the  crown  of  the  root  be  kept  six 
inches  below  the  surface  in  very  rich,  loose 
soil,  and  the  shoots  cut  deep  in  the  ground 
when  the  tops  are  not  more  than  an  inch 
or  two  above  the  surface. 

Ventil.vtiox. — Every  warm  and  clear 
day,  at  this  season  of  the  year,  should  be 
taken  advantage  of  to  throw  open  doors 
and  windows,  to  give  thorough  ventilation 
to  apartments  that  have  been  closed  almost 
constantly  during  the  long  winter  m.mths. 
Many  houses  need  ventilation  in  the  spring 
as  much  as  the  hold  of  a  ship  after  a  long 
voyage. 

Cement.— Alum  and  plaster  of  Paris, 
well  mixed  with  Vi'ater,  and  used  in  a 
liquid  state,  will  form  a  very  useful  cement. 
It  will  be  found  handy  in  the  laboratory 
for  many  purposes.  It  forms  a  very  hard 
composition,  and  for  fixing  the  brasses,  «Lc., 
paraffin  lamps,  niithing  could  be  better. —

To  M.MiE  Touon  Beef  Tender.— To 
those  who  have  worn  down  their  teeth 
masticating  poor,  tough  beef,  we  will  say 
that  carbonate  of  sod*  will  be  found  a 
remedy  for  the  evil.  Cut  the  steaks  the 
day  before  using  into  slices  about  two 
inches  thick,  rub  over  them  a  small  ciuan- 
tity  of  soda,  wash  the  next  morning,  cut 
into  suitable  thicknesses,  and  cook  to 
notion.  The  same  process  will  answer 
for  fowls,  legs  of  mutton,  etc.—KxcIiavge 

Test  your  Kerosene. —In  view  of  the 
many  lamp  explosions  resulting  almost  in- 
variably from  the  use  of  bad  kerosene  we 
urge  upon  the  heads  of  families  the  im- 
portance of  testing  their  oil  before  U£e  in 
the  lamp.  This  inay  be  readily  done  by 
any  man,  woman,  or  child,  by  means  of  a 
thermometer,  a  little  warm  water  and  a 
tablespoonful  of  the  oil.  Fill  the  cup 
with  warm  water,  the  temperature  of 
which  is  to  be  brought  to  110  dec.  Fab. 
Pour  the  oil  on  the  water  ;  apply  flame  to 
the  floating  oil  by  match  or  otherwise.  If 
the  oil  is  unsafe  it  will  take  fire,  and  its 
use  in  the  lamp  is  dangerous, /(>r  it  isluib'e 
to  expliyde.  But  if  the  oil  is  safe  and  good 
it  will  not  takci  fire.  All  persons  who  sell 
kerosene  that  will  not  stand  the  fire  test  at 
110  degrees  are  liable  to  prosecution. —

Not  Profane.— "Just  what  a  tinker's 
dam  is  I  have  no  means  of  knowing  ;  but 
I  believe  it  to  be  something  very  worth- 
less indeed,"  says  Mr.  Thom.  White,  in  his 
"  Little  Sermon,"  in  Putnam's  tor  March. 
Mr.  'Thorn.  White's  ignorance  can,  per- 
haps, be  enlightened,  and  his  belief  shown 
to  be  sound.  The  tinkers  used  to  tramp 
about  England  mending  pots  and  kettles. 
They  masticated  and  moistened  a  morsel  of 
bread,  and  used  it  as  a  dam  aroimd  the 
hole  to  be  repaired  to  prevent  the  solder 
from  running  rff.  After  being  thus  em- 
ployed what  value  remained  in  the  "  dam  ?" 
Can  anything  be  imagined  more  worth- 
less? Ilence  the  proverb.  If  this  expla- 
nation, definition,  or  conjecture  be  not  sat- 
isfactory, let  somebody  favor  an  inquiring 
world  with  a  better. — Boston  Transcript. 

— A  Southern  clergyman  who  officiated 
at  a  Cincinnati  church  two  Sundays  ago, 
stopped  in  the  middle  of  a  long  and  tedious 
discourse,  and  raiaed  hia  hands  as  if  to 
pronounce  the  benediction,  to  which  the 
congregation  responded  by  rising,  kneel- 
ing, &c.  But  the  motion  was  made  only 
to  adjust  his  surplice,  which  beisg  done 
he  resumed  his  discourse,  aud  the  congre- 
gation, with  a  general  giggle,  resumed  its 
position  for  listening. 

—A  young  man,  discharged  from  the 
Ohio  Penitentiary,  went  to  a  book-store 
and  bought  a  Bible  and  hymn  book. 


Thp  question,  "  How  ofcen  shall  cows  be 
milk'd,  daily?"  has  been  agitated  from 
time  to  time,  from  the  fact  that  when  calves 
are  running  with  their  dims,  the  times 
of  milking  are  more  frequent  than  under 
the  common,  artificial  system,  which  is 
twice  a  day,  ordinarily,  while  it  may  be 
four  or  five  times  a  day  when  the  cows  are 
sucked  by  their  progeny,  and  of'enor,  evtn, 
when  there  i.s  a  shortness  of  supply,  as  iu 
poor  milkers. 

Cows,  il  is  said,  by  an  English  writer,  in 
a  luxuriant  pasture,  where  they  can  soon 
till  their  bellies,  invariably  feed  four  times 
a  day,  first,  early  in  the  morning,  again 
before  noon,  iu  the  afternoon,  and  late  in 
the  evening,  and  the  calves  suck  on  these 
several  occasions,  on  the  cows  risini?  from 
rumination,  to  replenish  their  cxliausted 
stomachs.  This  order  will  vaiy  in  less 
luxurious  pastures. 

The  writer  referred  to  gives  the  follow- 
ing in  regard  to  artificial  management :  1st, 
when  coVs  and  calves  are  separated  and 
brought  together  morning  and  evoning  ; 
2 J,  when  separated  as  above  and  bioughl 
together  morning,  noon,  and  evening  ;  3d, 
when  cows  are  milked  twice  by  hand, 
morning  and  evening ;  4th,  when  milked 
three  times  a  day,  morning,  noon  and 
evening;  5th,  four  times  a  daj',  making 
seven  hours  between  the  night  and  morn- 
ing milking,  or  a  little  more,  and  about 
five  hours  and  a  half  between  the  others. 
Of  the  first  four  times  of  milking,  our 
author  says  he  has  had  varied  experience. 
The  writer  wished  it  borne  in  mind  that 
his  observation  was  conliutd  to  cows 
highly  led,  his  query  be Int?  whether  cnws 
thus  treated  are  more  liable  to  grow  fat 
and  dry  up,  v/heii  milked  only  twice,  than 
il  milked  thice  times  a  day?  According 
to  his  experience,  there  are  14  hours  be- 
tween evening  and  moriiiug  with  but 
two  milkings,  and  10  between  morning 
and  evening;  in  summer,  I'o  and  11  hours 
between  milkings. 

In  further  discussing  this  suljec's  he 
says,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind,  that  the 
manufacturing  of  meat,  as  it  were,  and  of 
milk,  arc  continuously  going  on  in  tlie 
healthy  cow,  so  that  it  does  not  retiuire 
much  force  to  turn  the  balance  either  way. 
especially  when  there  is  a  tendency  to  the 
secretion  of  fat ;  in  such  cases  it  must  be 
adverse  to  the  secretion  of  milk.  Ilence, 
with  healthful  cows,  with  proper  and  high 
feed,  three  miikings  a  day  are  better  than 
two,  provided  milk  ii  desired,  in  its  brgest 
quantity. 

The  present  system  of  milking  but  twice 
a  day  took  its  rise  when  cows  were  less 
highly  fed  than  now,  and  gave  much  less 
milk  per  day  ;  hence,  its  inapplicability  to 
deep  milkers  of  the  present  day.  Four 
times  a  day  is  better,  even,  than  three, 
when  cows  are  kept  on  luxuriant  feed,  as 
intimated  above,  when  milking  should  cor- 
respond with  "the  periods  of  healthy 
rumination,  digestion,  secretion  of  milk 
and  rest."  What  objection  can  be  raised 
with  regard  to  dairies  kept  for  their  milk, 
called  in  England,  "Commercial  Dairies," 
to  milking  three,  or  even  four  times  a  day, 
when  cows  are  kept  and  fed  especially  for 
their  milk,  whether  fbr  the  supply  ot  the 
milk  market,  or  for  making  butter  and 
cheese,  either  or  both?— the  cow  in  such 
cases  being  regarded  as  a  milk  making  ma- 
chine, whose  use  ia  to  convert  forage  into 
good  milk. — Boston  Cultivator.
