Christmas  Week  began  with  April  softness, 
and  if  wo  could  only  trust  the  flattering  tales 
that  are  always  told  by  Hope  npon  Ohristraas- 
eve,  we  might  expect  the  pleasantest  of  winters 
and  of  years.  But  if  Jack  Frost  is,  with  all 
affectionate  children,  largo  and  small,  "Home

whatever  the  weather  may  do,  we  shall  try  to 
keep  the  old  sun  shining  in  our  columns,  and  to 
keep  up  with  the  time  o'  day. 

The  new  era  upon  which  the  country  Is  en- 
tering, the  vast  and  novel  industries  whiob  as- 
sured peace  must  develop,  the  rapid  extension 
of  enterprise  into  remote  and  romantic  regions 
of  onr  own  and  of  other  countries,  promise  op- 
portunity and  material  enough  for  the  busiest

now  being  worked,  and  will  exercise,  when  fin- 
ished, a  powerful  influence  upon  the  industry 
of  Connecticut,  Rhode  Island,  and  Massuchu- 

It  will  bo  recollected  that  the  Erie  Railroad 
during  the  preceding  summer  took  five  millions 
of  dollars  of  the  bonds  of  this  Company — a  ques- 
tioufahle  proceeding— which  were  purchased  at 
eighty.  They  wero  called  the  Bevdoll  mortgage 
bonds.  The  object  of  this  purchase  was  to  se- 
j  the  aid  of  Massachusetts,  which,  in  I8R7, 


i  pleasure  and  profit  of  our  readers.     And 


pledges  of  industry  and  care— if  they 
needed — and  with  the  various  sweet  anc 
memories  of  the  years  that  are  gone,  we 
upon  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-nine  wii 
heartiest  wishes  for  a  Happy  New  Year  I 


The  efforts  or  Boston  to  reach  the  Western 

vantages  will  allow  :  but  as  her  principal  route, 
by  way  of  Worcester  and  Springfield  to  Albany, 
encounters  i  high  elevation  in  the  mountain 
range  in  Berkshire,  the  descent  of  which  going 


owing  to  steep   grades, 

proposed  to  OYpf'nme  ;l 

gineering    difficulties   en 

eceni    have   been    managed    with    the    highest 

skill.     The  mountain  stream,  in  company  with 

twenty-seven  times  over  bridges  of  masonry, 
many  of  whose  arches  are  sixty  feet  high.  In 
the  summer,  when  no  sense  of  danger  attends 
the  descent,  the  traveler,  who  matches  from  the 
rear  of  the  train  the  course  of  the  river  as  it 
rushes- down  its  rocky  bed,  expanding  as  it  de- 
scends, and  notices  the  high  and  durable  arches 
over  (vhieh  the  train  has  just  moved  at  rapid 
speed,  lb  amazed  at  the  boldness  which,  in  the 
infancy  of  engineering  knowledge,  projected  a 
work  so  difficult.  The  scenery  is  rematkably 
picturesque,  and 


the  courage  of  Massa- 
•rize,  the  trade  of  the 
great  West  with  its  treasures  tar  beyond  those 
of  India,  calls  into  exercise  this  display  of  skill 
and  power.  Long  may  that  system  of  policy 
endure,  which  opens  to  every  part  of  the  Union 
the  opportunity  to  r:arry  great  enterprises  through 
other  portions  of  it,  to  reap  the  advantages  which 
are  diffused  broadly  and  liberally  over  our  coun- 
try !  The  states  of  Europe  can  not  offer  such 
facilities.  The  forces  which  we  employ  in  de- 
veloping our  whole  industry  as  a  unit  they  em- 
ploy—1,200,000  in  France,  1,000,000  in  Prussia, 
1,000,000  in  Russia,  800.000  in  Austria,  500,000 


If   the    unneiahbortv   ; 
of  European  states  were

Tunnel  to  tup  our  improvements  on 


to  .secure  isolation 
and  action, 
unfriendly  system 


terprise  to  the  extent  of  three  millions  of  dollars, 
on  certain  conditions,  which  otherwise  could  not 
have  been  complied  with.  The  act  called  for 
the  appointment  of  t 


amount  of  the  work  and  inform  the  Governor 
and  Council  of  its  exact  condition.  It  was  pro- 
vided that  no  portion  of  the  State  credit,  should 
be  issued  by  the  Treasurer  of  the  Common- 
wealth, unless  it  was  made  to  appear  that  the 
Company  would  be  able,  either  alone  or  with 
the  aid  of  other  parties,  to  complete  the  lino  of 
railway  from  Boston  to  Fishkill ;  and  if,  at  any 
time  after  any  portion  of  State  aid  had  been 
advanced,  it  should  appear  that  such  road  would 
not  be  completed  in  five  years,  no  farther  aid 

On  the  14th  of  October  last  the  Governor  and 
Conned  or"  Massachusetts,  on  a  report  of  the 
Commissioners,  decided  that,  in  all  human  prob- 
ability, the  means  had  been  provided  to  com- 
plete the  road  to  Fishkill,  and  ordered  that  the 
of  one  hundred  thousand  dot- 
scrip  of  tho  Commonwealth  should 


Erie  road  at  Newburgh,  would  be  impossible. 
These  enterprises  are  not  only  not  regarded 
with  jealousy—they  scarcely  attract  attention, 
except  in  the  quarters  specially  interested  in 
the  results  which  are  expected  to  flow  from 
them.  The  Hoosac  Tunnel  enterprise  now 
waits  for  the  closing  of  a  contract  authorized 
by  Massachusetts  to  embrace  the  entire  work, 
the  question  being  undecided  whether  the  se- 
curity demanded  by  the  State  from  bidders  shall 
be  required  or  waived.  The  Boston,  Hartford, 
and  Erie  line  calls 


Britain;  upon  the  issuing  of  which,  contracts 
for  the  most  difficult  portion  of  the  line  were 
immediately  made 

The  unfinished  portion  of  the  lino  extends 
from  Waterbury  in  Connecticut  to  Fishkill  on 
the  Hudson,  immediately  opposite  to  the  term- 
ination of  tho  Erie  Railroad  at  Newburgh. 
From  Waterbury  to  out  State  line,  about  36 
miles,  its  course  is  westerly,  generally  at  right 
angles  to  the  streams  and  valleys  in  Connecti- 
cut. It  commences  at  Waterbury,  where  the 
toad  in  running  order  now  terminates,  at  an 
elevation  of  153  feet  above  tide,  n  ..ches  in 
about  eight  miles  the  ridge  at  Towanbie.  ele- 
vated 646  feet ;  descends  ten  mites  to  the  val- 
ley of  the  Housatonic,  142  feet  above  tide;  as- 
cends to  Tunnel  Hill,  distant  four  miles  (near 
Hawleyville),  which  it  pierces  with  a  tun- 
nel 300  feet  long  and  368  feet  above  tide ; 
passes  on  a  very  good  grade  to  Banbury,  eight 
miles,  which  is  38J)  feet  above  tide,  and  thence 
five  miics  to  the-  dividing  line  between  New 
York  and  Connecticut,  which  it  crosses  at  an 
elevation  of  465  feet.  Its  course  thence  to 
Fishkill  is  through  an  opening  cut  by  one  of 
the  affluents  of  the  Croton  to  near  Brewster's 


the  Harlem  Railroad,  thence  northerly,  parallel 
with  that  road,  to  Towner's  Station,  neat  which 
point  it  diverges  toward  the  Fishkill  Mountains, 
which  it  crosses  near  Whaley's  Pond  at  an  ele- 
vation of  746  feet  above  tide,  constituting  the 
summit.  Descending  the  mountoio,  it  runs 
near  Fishkill  Creek,  and  uses  the  Dutchess,  Co- 
lumbia, and  Fishkill  Railroad,  which,  having 
been  purchased,  is  to  be  delivered  over  finished, 
with  its  rolling  stock,  at  an  eariy  period. 

A  very  large  portion  of  the  line  described  is 
now  being  vigorously  woiked,  but  as  the  tunnel 
and  severe  cuts  will  require  nearly  two  years,  it 
is  not  expected  that  the  whole  will  be  in  run- 
ning order  before  December,  1870.  There  is  a 
very  strong  probability  that  it  will  be  finished 
and  in  operation  by  that  time,  as  over  four  hun- 
dred miles  of  road  now  completed  as  well  as 
the  value  of  those  bonds  depend  npon  it.  This 
road,  between  Putnam  and  Willimanticin  Con- 
necticut, is  being  straightened  in  order  to  fur- 
nish between  Boston  and  New  York,  by  way  of 
the  Harlem  RaUroad,  what  is  claimed  will  be  a 
shorter  line  of  travel  than  by  any  other  route. 
This  road  connects  also  with  Providence,  Rhode 
Island,  and  other  important  points. 

The  main  object  of  this  route  to  the  Hudson 
is  to  obtain  coal  by  way  of  the  Erie  Railroad  for 
the  numerous  manufacturing  establishments  in 
the  three  States  immediately  benefited,  end 
also  to  diffuse  it  over  the  whole  Eastern  States 
by  means  of  the  various  lines  going  north  and 
south  which  it  traverses.  The  coal-fields  of 
Pennsylvania  lie  due  west  of  Newburgh,  and 
may  be  reached,  it  is  supposed,  with  more  ease 
in  this  way  thau  by  the  lines  now  existing.  In 
aid  of  water-power  coal  has  come  to  be  a  neces- 
sity to  mills  in  the  interior,  so  that  during  the 
droughts  of  summer  their  industry  may  not  he 
delayed.  That  this  road  will  be  a  feeder  to  the 
Erie,  and  will  receive  n  (Treat  variety  of  West- 
ern products  from  the  Erie,  is  certain.  Anoth- 
er route  has  been  devised  from  New  Haven  by 
way  of  Derby,  the  Tilicus  Valley,  Pnrdy's  Sta- 
tion on  the  Harlem  Road,  the  High  Bridge 
over  the  Hudson  near  Peekskill,  to  connect 
with  the  Erie  near  Towner's  :  but  this  enterprise 
d,  nl- 


trade  which  is  intended  for  foreign  parts  can 

son  the  efr'ori  m  coni|>eiition  v.iil  encounter  the 
facility  of  tide-water  to  float  products  cheaply 
to  their  place  of  destination. 

The  line  ought  to  have  been  constructed  by 
the  States  most  interested,  without  calling  upon 
the  Erie  Railroad  to  advance  its  fandfl  to  the  ex- 
tent of  two  millions,  and  its  acceptances  to  the 
extent  of  $1,570,400,  for  such  an  object.  The 
Erie  also  agreed,  in  consideration  of  the  right 
to  use  the  Boston,  Hartford,  and  Erie  Road  for 
some  purposes  of  distribution,  to  pay  for  a  limits 
cd  time  the  interest  on  the  $4,000,000  of  bonds. 
The  branch  to  Newburgh  not  being  profitable, 
these  operations  wero  undertaken  in  order,  it  is 
said,  to  givo  it  additional  employment,  and  thus 
benefit  its  through  line :  a 


including  the  $100,000  advanced  in  October, 
constitute,  with  unused  bonds  and  stock  of  the 
Boston,  Hartford,  and  Erie,  the  means  for  com- 
pleting this  line,  which  is  regarded  with  great 
interest  by  a  large  population.  The  interior 
portions  of  Putnam,  Dutchess,  Columbia,  and 
northern  Westcheslcr  expect  to  derive  import- 
ant advantages  from  this  connection  with  the 
Eric  Railroad,  as  it  will  enable  their  inhabitants 
to  obtain  coal,  grain,  cattle,  and  many  Western 
productions  free  of  the  great  expense  which  now 
attends  their  transportation,  and  will  stimulate 
largely  their  manufacturing  and  other  industry.

THE  INDIANA  VIGILANCE 
COMMITTEE. 

Tub  hanging  oi    prisoners  by  a  Vigilance 
Committee  in  Indiana,  and  the  deliberate  de- 

the  most  startling  and  significant  of  recent 
events.  Last  May  a  railroad  express  car  was 
lobbed    and    the  messenger    horribly  beaten, 

tome  disappeared  altogether, 
o  Canada  were  returned  under 
treaty  and  confined  with  their 
comrades  in  October.  Meanwhile  those  who 
escaped  altogether  organized  a  fresh  robbery 
of  the  same  kind,  were  betrayed;  entrapped, 
and  after  a  sharp  strugglo  arrested  and  lodged 
in  jail.  They  were  subsequently  placed  upon 
a  train  to  be  carried  to  the  county  teat.  The 
train  stopped  when  a  Bignal  of  distress  was  mado 
upon  the  road-side.  The  signal  proved  to  he 
the  devico  of  a  Vigilance  Committee,  which 
seized  the  prisoners.  Knowing  their  doom 
the  men  confessed,  and  when  they  had  done 
so,  were  hung  by  the  Committee,  which  then 
issued  an  address  of  warning  to  all  thieves, 
threatening,  in  case  of  retaliation,  to  hang 
evory  thieving  choracter  it  could  lay  its  hands 
upon.  The  Committee  pursued  three  of  the 
gang  who  had  escaped,  and  finding  them,  hung 


This  was  in  July,  and  it  was  o 
October  that  the  prisoners  were 
from  Canada.  In  November  they  were  brought 
to  the  jail  at  New  Albany,  Indiana,  and  it  was 
si.i|>]iu~ed  ?licy  would  b 
trial.  But  6ome  days 
morning,  a  bod 
armed  arrived  in  the  t( 


III,-     Jl.-M.l     I 


men  opened    tiu  j;iil 

doors,  until  they  came  upon  one  door  which 
they  could  not  open,  and  the  patrol,  no  mado 
show  of  fight,  but  they  showed  him  a  rope  and 
told  him  that  if  he  resisted  he  should  he  hanged. 
Overpowered,  be  opened  the  door  and  the  mask- 
ed men  entered  the  cells,  and  seizing  the  prison- 
ers instantly  hanged  liiem  from  the  railing  of 
an  upper  corridor.  Theu  locking  the  door  and 
taking  the  key  the  masked  men  returuod  with- 

ed  them,  and  stepping  in  they  departed,  having 
bin  p  since  the  robbery  ten  men  in  all. 

The  Canadian  papers  say  very  properly  that 
if  prisoners  charged  with  crime  but  not  con- 
victed are  liable  to  be  slaughtered  when  sur- 
rendered under  the  extradition  treaty,  it  it  high 


Vigilance  Committee  indicar.^  a  f.-tii 
distrust  of  the  ordinary  processes  of  justice. 
And  it  is  now  stated  that  this  distrust  was  not 
ill-founded,  and  that  there  was  no  reason  to 
suppose  that  the  robbers  would  be  properly 
punished  by  the  law.  The  courts  ot'  law  are 
the  last  peaceful  remedy,  but  when  they  are 
more  than  suspected,  the  remedy  inevitably 
ceases  to  be  peaceful.  When  the  conns  fall 
into  public  contempt,  the  condition  of  order  is 
that  no  great  crime  taxes  the  public  patience. 
San  Francisco  taught  all  cities  that  lessou.  It 
is  the  bitter  reproach  of  the  people  of  Indiana 
that  such  terrible  deeds  should  even  seem  to 
have  a  palliation.     Meanwhile,  if  the  United

fond  of  interfering  in  other  people's  affaire,  and 
in  the  present  instance,  having  seen  and  heard 
all  I  had,  I  felt  exceedingly  reluctant  to  let  the 
matter  drop.  The  mystery  attaching  to  Mrs, 
Forrester  was  not  very  difficult  to  unravel — at 
least  in  its  main  feature.  As  for  this  Murray, 
and  the  influence  he  appeared  to  possess  over  her, 
I  hud  long  since  made  up  my  mind  that  he  was 
a  villain  who  would  stoop  to  any  device,  however 
contemptible,  to  insure  the  success  of  any  evil 
enterprise  in  which  he  might  be  engaged.     I  de- 


ip  in  this  resolve.     I  looked  upon  t

and  I,  Charlie,  have  discovered  that  we  aio  ok1 
acquaintances.  Curious,  isn't  it  ?  Wheels  withii: 
wheels !     What  fools  we  are  to  fancy  our  world 


more  closely  than  I  ever  had  before,  and  again 
the  old  thought  of  lust  night  came  back  to  me. 
Then  my  eyes  involuntarily  titled  on  his  bands; 
they  were  still  encased  in  light  gloves.  I  do  not 
know  what  it  was  that  prompted  me,  but  joining 
in  the  conversation,  I  said,  "  You  are  quite  right : 
I  often  tumble  across  people  I  never  expected  to 
see  again— mere  passing  acquaintances.  Do  you 
know,"  I  continued,  "last  night  when  you  ar- 
rived I  fancied  we  had  met  before,  though  then 
you  had  no  heard  and  mustache." 

I  could  have  sworn,  and  did  to  myself  at  the 
moment,  that  his  hand  trembled  as  he  raised  his 
cup  to  his  lips  ;  but  a  moment  after,  as  he  set  it 
down  again,  he  was  perfectly  calm  and  cool, 
while  in  a  uottchalant  tone  he  replied,  "I  must 
sny  you  have  the  advantage  of  me,  as  I  am  not 
aware  that  we  ever  met  before;  indeed  I  am 
quite  sure  that  we  never  did.     Besides,  I  have 


bout  something  quite  different. 

Slowly,  but  surely,  a  conviction  was  growing 
ipou  me  that  made  me  pay  considerable  respect 
o  my  impressions  of  the  night  before,  and  de- 


and  flinging  myself  ii

THE  TENURE-OF-OFFICE  LAW. 

General  Butler  proposes  the  repeal  of  tli 
Civil  Tenure  bill,  arid  it  is  stated  that  Genen 
Ghakt  also  favors  it.  But  the  President  clc. 
has  not  yet  de< .hired  himself,  and  we  shall  eertuii 

self.     If  he  thinks  the  repeal  of  the  law  desin 


ruthh-ly  used  agai 
But,  although  this  was  the  occasion  of  its  pas- 
sage, further  reflection  shows  that  such  restric- 
tion of  that  power  in  our  Government  is  pecul- 
iarly desirable  when  combined  with  a  system 
like  that  of  Mr.  Jenckes's  Civil  Service  bill. 

Its  first  obvious  advantage  is  its  tendency  to 
pacify  and  purify  politics  by  preventing  a  na- 
tional election  from  being  merely  a  fierce  bread- 
and-buttci  contest.  When  the  tenure  of  the 
least  office  is  no  longer  party  success  only  the 
offico  and  the  officer  will  begin  to  be  more  re- 
spectable. The  chances  ot  public  favor  for  Mr. 
Jenckes's  bill  will  be  greatly  increased,  and  an 
clement  of  tranquillity  will  be  introduced  into 
om  affairs  which  can  hardly  be  prejudicial  to 
the.  public  interest. 

Another,  and  a  very  important,  advantage  in 
the  law  is  its  relief  to  the  President  The  chief 
business  of  the  Executive  had  become  the  dis- 
tribution of  patronage.  The  time  that  should 
be  given  by  him,  as  a  branch  of  the  Legislature. 
to  an  intelligent  consideration  of  the  laws,  was 
consumed  by  the  interminable  dispute  whether 
Jones  or  Jenkins — neither  of  whom  he  knew — 
should  be  appointed :  and  whether  it  were  more 
politic  to  disappoint  Smith  and  h's  friends  than 
Thompson  and  his.    As  the  patronage  increase! 


quietly  informed  the  civil  officers  of  this  coun- 
try that  they  were  the  President's  pensionaries, 
the  Pope's  "poor  gentlemen,'  and  must  do  as 
their  patron  bade  or  lose  theii  offices,  lie  mere- 
ly stated  the  inevitable  and  logical  result  of  the 
old  system.  It  is  what  it  has  been  in  every 
other  country.  The  system  of  George  the 
Third  in  England,  which  nearly  ruined  the 
country  and  almost  drove  it  into  revolution, 
was  one  of  "  placemen;"  and  Louis  Philippe's 
hold  of  power  in  France,  long  after  be  had  lost 
all  hold  upon  public  confidence  and  respect, 
was  his  vast  army  of  place-holders,      In  this 


Mr.  Ra

kind.     He  confined  himself  almost  entire- 

f  reliance  was  the  fact  that,  although  very 
lent  authorities  differed  upon  the  constitu- 
fil  view  of  the  question,  yet  custom  had 
ed  the  power  of  removal  in  the  President's 
sure.  The  reply  to  such  a  statement  was 
elusive,  that  experience  had  shown  such  a 
om  to  be  often  prejudicial  and  always  dan- 
iub  to  the  public  welfare,  and  that  a  bad 
om  should  be  corrected  by  a  good  law.  So 
the  arguments  of  the  President's  counsel 


constitutional  theory  which  has  always  fion- 
tinued,  and  the  law  of  Congress,  passed  over 
the  veto,  settled  the  true  interpretation  so  far 
as  Congress  was  concerned. 

Are  the  general  principles  upon  which  the  bill 
was  passed  less  weighty  now  than  they  were 
two  years  ago  ?  The  occasion  is,  of  course,  not 
pressing  as  it  then  was.  The  new  President  is 
not  only  in  accord  with  the  convictions  and  pol- 
icy of  the  party  that  elected  him,  but  his  char- 
acter inspires  so  profound  a  confidence  that, 
were  the  sole  power  of  appointment  vested  in 
him,  there  would  be  no  fear  of  its  misuse.  In- 
deed, the  power  ot  character  is  seen  in  nothing 
more  strikingly  than  in  the  feeling  of  trust  and 
hope  that  inspires  the  country  now  that  Gener- 
al Grant  is  to  take  Mr.  Johnson's  place,  com- 
pared with  the  gloom  and  doubt  that  depressed 
it  during  Mr.  Johnson's  term.  But  the  point 
we  are  considering  is  a  principle  of  wise  admin-

The  point  for  ns  to  consider  is,  not  whether  it 
is  agreeable  to  a  President  to  remove  the  Sec- 
retaries at  pleosure,  hut  whether  Mr.  Jounson's 
attempt  to  turn  the  "War  Department  to  his  own 
purposes  does  not  reveal  a  peril  in  administra- 
tion which  should  not  be  tolerated.  Ordinarily 
there  would  be  no  collision  between  tho  Presi-

We  are  inclined  to  think  that  the  principle

will  be  more  heartily  approved.  But  if  the  law 
is  to  remain,  and  at  present  we  sec*  no  sufficient

"We  stated  in  our  last  issue  that  the  contract 
for  the  full  completion  of  this  Work,  authorized 
by  the  last  Legislature  of  Massachusetts,  re- 
mained open  to  determine  whether  the  security

progress  as  to  carry  down  the  central  shaft  14 
inches  doily,  and  to  form  from  two  faces  250 
feet  of  tunnel  per  month.  By  the  first  of  May, 
1870,  the  central  shaft  will  have  been  carried 
down  to  the  base  3t'  the  tunnel,  which  will  fur- 
nish  two  additional  faces,  after  which  the  tun- 
nel is  to  advance  at  the  rate  of  4!)00  feet  per 
year.  This  will  permit  its  completion  in  less 
than  four  years,  but  a  year  more  has  been 
granted,  although  it  is  expected  that  the  work 
will  be  in  running  order  in  advance  of  that 

This  great  enterprise,  considered  a  marvel 
of  engineering  boldness  nnd  skill  at  the  time 
of  its  origin,  and  over  which  the  State  has  at 
times  wavered,  fearful  of  the  issue,  must  now 
be  considered  as  amply  provided  for.  It  is  not 
at  all  improbable  that  the  Mount  Cenis  tunnel 
owes  its  origiD  to  this  scheme,  and  that  the 
vigor  shown  in  piercing  the  Alps  has  in  turn 
had  its  effect  in  the  renewed  energy  of  Massa- 
chusetts. The  length  of  the  Hoosac  tunnel  is 
about  4^  miles,  while  that  of  Mount  Cenis  is 
7  miles,  1044  yards.  The  latter  was  under- 
taken in  the  first  instance  by  Sardinia,  within 
whose  territorial  limits  the  mountain  was  situ- 
ated, but  by  the  cession  of  Savoy  to  Prance, 
and  the  subsequent  adjustment  of  the  boundary 
line,  Fiance  acquired  nearly  one-half  of  the 
tunnel,  and  stipulated  to  pay  that  proportion 
of  the  cost,  the  work  to  remain  throughout  un- 
der the  charge  of  the  Italian  engineers. 

The  Mount  Cenis  tunnel  is  constructed  with- 
out the  advantage  of  a  central  shaft,  as  the 
mountain  attains  an  elevation  above  the  tun- 
nel of  about  one  mile,  while  the  length  of  the 
Hoosac  shaft,  located  between  tho  two  spurs  of 
the  Hoosac  Mountain,  is  only  1027  feet.    When 

posed  to  workmen,  with  the  advantuge  of  par- 
tial ventilation  during  tho  progress  of  the  work, 
and  subsequently  in  operating  the  road.  In 
order  to  afford  ventilation  to  the  Mount  Cenis 
workmen  compressed  air  must  be  injected  into 


stands  alone  id  her  expenditure,  while  the 
Mount  Cenis  tunnel  is  constructed  with  the 
funds  of  two  great  empires. 

Upon  the  completion  of  this  lino  Boston  will 
have  two  routes  to  tap  our  great  works  which 
extend  through  the  valley  of  the  Mohawk.  One 
by  way  of  Fitrhlmrg,  Greenficldt  the  Iloosac 
tunnel,  North  Adams,  and  Troy ,  the  other  by 
way  of  Worcester,  Springfield,  Pittsfield,  Chat- 
ham  Four  Corners,  and  Albany.  It  is  part  of 
the  design  to  have  a  separate  railroad  from  tho 
Hudson,  to  run  directly  to  Lake  Ontario ;  and 
the  question  arises,  what  effect  these  enterprises 

Boston  for  tho  command  of  the  Western  trade  ? 
The  Hue  by  way  ot  Springfield  encounters  an 
elevation  between  that  place  and  Pittsfteld  of 
1450  feet  above  tide,  and,  in  the  ascenl  Rfftard 
the  west  to  this  elevation,  has  a  grade  of  83  feet 
to  the  milo.  The  line  by  way  of  the  tunnel 
rises,  at  the  summit,  between  Fhchburg  and 
Greenfield,  to  1106  feet,  and  passes  through  tho 
tunnel  at  an  elevation  of  838  feet  above  tide; 
but  it  has  no  grades  steeper  than  G8  feet,  while 
New  York  enjoys  the  benefit  of  tide-water  from 
Troy  or  Albany  to  the  ocean,  and  of  a  railway 
(tho  Hudson  Kiver)  whoso  steepest  grades  are 
only  fifteen  feet.  They  occur  at  Poughkeepsio 
in  the  effort  to  reach  a  central  point  in  the  vil- 
lage, and  may  be  avoided  at  any  time  by  con- 
structing tho  road  at  Potighkeepsie  on  tho  shore 
of  the  river.  The  Harlem  road  is  less  favor- 
ably situated  for  carrying  through  freights,  as  it 
ia  obliged  to  pass  over  the  buiuo  mountain  range 
through  which  the  Hudson  River  makes  a  clean 
sweep,  affording,  at  the  fool  of  the  mountain 
between  l'cekskill  and  FishkilJ,  a  level  line  for 
tho  Hudson  Kiver  Railroad  track. 

Except  for  about  104  days  in  each  year,  dur- 
ing which  the  river  is  closed  with  ice,  we  enjoy 
the  immense  advantage  of  the  Hudson  River, 
capable  of  floating  the  largest  barges  at  rates 
for  freight  with  which  railroad  lines  can  not 
compete,  and  at  all  times  have  lines  of  track 
which,  when  managed  with  a  view  to  the  public 
interest— an  object  not  long  to  be  delayed— 
must  romove  nil  fears  of  successful  competition, 
and  leave  no  motive,  with  even  the  illiberal,  for 
not  rejoicing  at  the  energy  of  Massachusetts. 

In  extending  her  enterprise  to  Lake  Outurio 
it  will  be  impossible  for  Massachusetts  to  secure 
the  advantage  which  the  New  York  Central  en- 
joys in  passing  through  tho  Alleghany  at  the 
dip  at  Little  Falls.  The  road  and  canal  there 
are  about  300  feet  lower  than  Lake  Erie,  and 
but  about  100  higher  than  Lake  Ontario,  where- 
over  the  mountain  rtt  unfavorable  grades. 


Very  well;  as  tho  case  stands  the  situation 
of  England  is  clear  enough.  She  has  laid 
down  a  precedent  which  she  must  be  aware 
will  be  used  ngainst  her.  The  British  Govern- 
ment, in  trying  to  Btop  tho  departure  of  tho 
Alabama,  acknowledged  that  she  was  an  un- 
lawful ship,  in  othei    words— a   pirate.     But 


ego  and  equip  pirates  against  a  belligerent? 
The  precedent  of  England  says  that  il  may. 
We  repeat  what  wo  havo  already  asked — why 
insist  upon  settling  that  point?  It  is  not  our 
affair;  it  is  England's.  If  she  is  willing  to 
leave  the  precedeut  neither  we  noi  any  other 
nation  is  likely  tc  dispute  it  from  the  selfish 
point  of  view;  for  il  annihilates  England  tho

the  preparation  of  a  work  upon  Paraguay.' 

This  is  certainly  a  very  different  tune.  The 
last  inlormatiou  that  we,  ia  this  country,  had 
from  Mr.  Bliss  was  a  letter  from  him  ia  which 
ho  Etated  that  "the  scrvico"  of  Lopez,  upon 
which  he  wos  likely  to  enter,  waj  ouch  as  the 
inmates  of  Sing  Sing  render  to  the  State,  l*  not 
such  as  is  required  of  tho  worst  criminals  at  the 
gallows.  But  Admiral  Davis's  letter  suggests 
tho  pictnre  of  a  counselor  co-operating  with 
"President"  Loi*ez  at  head-quarters,  or  of  a 
Bcholar  elaborating  a  history  In  Btudious  tran- 
quillity. It  is  curiously  at  variance  with  the 
last  account  that  Mr.  Buss  gave  ot  himself. 

Tho  attention  of  Mr.  Wasiiu<  ,  .  ... 
been  called  to  the  very  positive  exprC6&i..r.  of 
opinion  which  the  report  of  tb»  dream  ea 
of  bis  departure  from  Paraguay  nrcaeir m-.l.  and 
ho  will  hardly  care  to  leave  such  injurious  ie- 
ports  unnoticed.

THE  OTHER  Mb.  JOHNSON  AGAIN. 
It  is  a  kind  of  strophe  and  nntistrophe.  No 
sooner  Las  the  voice  of  Andrew  suggesting 
swindling  died  away  than  there  comes  u  fresh 
burst  from  Kbvehoy  falling  nncw  upon  tho 
neck,  this  time  of  Johnny  Crajmud,  and  swear- 
ing more  eternal  friendship.  Our  worthy  Min- 
istei  has  been  to  a  banquet  of  some  French 
friends  of  the  rebels,  who  wish  to  lay  a  cable 
from  France  to  this  country,  and  the  Minuter 
of  the  United  States  informs  them  that  *'euch 
State  in  the  Union  is  sovereign,  and  that  it  the

audibly  ask  it,  satisfied  to  hear  the  American 
Minister  concede  tho  great  dogma  of  the  re- 
bellion. What  moro  remains  for  Mr.  Johnson 
to  do  to  misrepresent  his  country  ?  In  consid-

there  is  a  melancholy  feeling  of  sympathy  for  him

and  neighbors. 

Arthur  listened  to  her  frequent  allusion*  o  tho

that  she  had  already  gone  far  enough,  or  too  iar. 
She  felt  tbut  she  was  lowering  herself  terribly  in

in  the  English  Monse 
his  defense  to  Berryer  ;  and  in  1861  Berryer 
was  counsel  for  Miss  Paterson  in  her  suit 
against  the  representatives  of  Jerome  Bona- 
parte. He  allowed  himself  to  be  nominated  as 
a  candidate  in  18C3  for  the  representation  of  the 
Benches  tin  Rhone,  and  was  returned  along  with 
Triers  and  M.  Marie.     In  the  Imperial  Cham- 


in  Bish- 
op's Observatory,  in  Regent's  Park.  This 
expedition,  notwithstanding  Vogei/s  sad  fate, 
was  the  beginning  of  thai  brilliant  series  of 
German  exploring  expeditions  which  was  con- 
ceived  and  organized  by  1'ktlrmann.  At  the 
solicitation  of  Behnhari)  Perthes,  ofGotha, 
Petermann  returned  to  Germany,  and  settled 
in  Gotha,  where  he  took  charge  of  what  is  now 
the  celebrated  PriM  iies's  licngrnphica]  Insti- 
tute. He  then  commenced  the  publication 
of  his  geographical  periodical  (the  Mittkeil- 
migen),  which  is  universally  acknowledged  to 
be  without  a  rival.  In  lS(i(>  he  organized  an 
expedition  for  throwing  light  upon  the  fate  of 
the  unfortunate  Vogel,  and  sent  Hedglin, 
Steudneh,  Munzikger,  Kinzeluach,  Han- 
sal,  and  Schl'I5i;rt  in  charge  of  it.  This  ex- 
pedition has  been  of  incalculable  sen-ice  for 
African  exploration  ;  but  Petermann,  not 
satisfied  with  what  be  bad  done,  sent  out  an- 
other one  under  Beurmann,  with  the  design 
of  crossing  the  desert  from  the  north  to  "Wa- 
dai.  The  brilliant  results  of  the  expeditions 
of  Gerhard  Rolfs  and  Madch,  the  former 
of  whom  reached  the  hitherto  inaccessible  re- 
gion of  the  Sahara,  and  the  latter  the  almost 
unknown  border- lands  of  the  Republic  of 
Transvaal,  likewise  owe  their  origin  to  pETEn- 


he  resolved  on  an  expedition  to  the  North  Pole, 
and,  though  nobody  volunteered  to  defray  the 
expenses,  he  issued  an  appeal  to  the  German 
people,  urging  them  to  assist  in  the  undertak- 
ing. Advancing  the  money  himself,  he  sent  out 
the  expedition,  in  charge  of  Captain  Carl  Kol- 
dewey,  on  the  24th  of  May,  1868.  After  the  ex- 
pedition bad  sailed  the  contributions  came  in  to 

thousand  dollars,  which  were  double  the  total 
expenses  of  the  expedition.  The  little  vessel,

REPEAL  OF  THE  TENURE-OF- 
OFFICE  ACT. 

There  is  a  forcible  expression  of  opinion  i 
any  leading  hVpubliean  papers  in  favor  of  tl 
peal  of  the  Tenure-of-Office  Act,  But  v, 
ill  fail  to  see  any  sufficient  reason  for  it.    Tl

Let  us  first  consider  this  last  argument.  It 
plain  that  the  Constitution  does  not  take  this 
lew  of  executive  responsibility :  for  it  does  not 
low  the  President  alone  to  appoint  officers, 
»;cept  by  consent  of  Congress,  while  the  Sen- 
:e  is  associated  with  him  in  the  appointment 
F  all  others ;  and  if  the  Senate  will  not  confirm 
le  officer  that  he  nominates  he  is  as  much 
iffled  as  when  it  refuses  to  remove  an  officer 
t  his  suggestion,  The  argument,  that  his  ex- 
:ntive  responsibility  fairly  requires   that  the

:  tlie  theory  of  the  argument  we  are  cons 
g,  the  President  is  responsible  for  all  t 
leers.  Yet  they  are  virtually  apj

This  hist  consideration  is  tl 
remark  that  the  new  President 
and  need  not  be  hound  as  the  j 
is.      Undoubtedly  he  may  be  t 


revails  in  the  civil  service.  Patronage  is  the 
dder  by  which  the  most  unfit  persons  climb 
ito  Congress.  Patronage  is  the  greedy  mon- 
er  preying  upon  the  fair  form  of  public  virtue,

It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Legal-Ten- 
der Act  operates  upon  all  debts  due  by  States, 
counties,  towns,  by  banks,  savings-banks,  rail- 
road and  insurance  companies,  as  well  as  upon 
the  great  mass  of  private  debts  due  by  mort- 
gage, notes,  and  otherwise  by  private  individ- 
uals. Mr,  M'Culloch  supposes  that  at  least 
seven-tenths  of  the  British  population  are  in 
the  constant  habit  of  anticipating  their  incomes ; 
and  if  this  estimate  shall  be  deemed  extrava- 
gant in  this  country,  it  may  be  assumed  that 
six-tenths  at  least  are  in  that  situation. 

Mr.  David  A.  Wells,  in  the  able  pamphlcl 
issued  in  1864,  entitled  "Our  Burdens  and  oui 
Strength,"  stated  his  belief  that  the  total  avail- 
able property  of  the  United  States  in  18G0  was 
twenty  thousand  millions,  although  it  had  beer 
officially  assessed  in  that  year  at  oidy  sixteer 
thousand  one  hundred  and  fifty-nine  """ 
which  sum  included  slaves 
valued  at  nineteen  hundred  and  thirty-six  mi 
ions.  He  rated  the  increase  of  property  at  t 
thousand  millions  per  annum,  which,  added 
$20,000,000,000,  would  make  now  say  twent 


wise  to  amass  it,  we  shall  by  degrees,  if  fav 
ed  with  good  crops,  grow  up  to  a  position

This  was  the  joint  product  of  the  capital  and 
industry  of  the  country  at  an  early  period,  and 
probably  furnished  the  principal  basis  for  Mr. 


i  debt ;  but,  in  view  of  the  bold 
e  spirit  of  our  people,  it  is  not  ex- 
ippose  that  the  public  and  private 
ntes,  corporations,  and  people  of 


debt,  amount  to  at  least  $5,000,000,000.  It  is 
upon  this  mass  of  property,  production,  and  debt, 
stated  only  approximately,  that  the  policy  of  a 
considerable  reduction  of  the  money  of  the  coun- 
try is  to  operate ;  and,  whether  the  debtors  of

one  hundred  and  seventy  millions,  but  its  effect 
on  the  prices  of  commodities,  excepting  in  the

of  six  hours  between  him  and  Mr.  Gladstone, 
during  which  the  latter  was  engaged  in  persuad- 
ing him  to  take  office,  and  finally  succeeded. 

But  with  all  his  liberality  Mr.  Bright  is  of 
the  middle  or  employing  class,  and  is  there- 
fore not  exactly  a  trusted  leader  of  the  labor- 
ers. Moreover,  he  is  not  a  Republican— a  faith 
toward  which  a  very  large  body  of  "the  peo- 
ple" in  England  constantly  tend,  and  which  will 
undoubtedly  openly  organize  a  party  should  any 
crisis  occur  in  the  country.  But  for  clearness 
of  vision  in  what  he  sees,  for  tho  frank  cour- 
age of  his  opinions,  and  for  a  powerful  and  sim- 
ple oratory,  Mr.  Bright  is  not  surpassed  by  any 
living  man.  He  is  a  natural  leader.  Yet  very 
few  men  who  have  been  so  long  recognized 
champions  of  the  people  have   been  able  to

names  best  known  in  this  country  are  those 
of  Lord  Clarendon,  Foreign  Secretary;  the 
Duke  of  Aroyle,  Secretary  for  India;  and 
Mr.  Goschen,  of  the  Poor-Law  Board.  The 
Postmaster -Genera],  Lord  Hartington,  is 
also  somewhat  notorious  in  this  country  for 
his  insolent  conduct  when  here  in  wearing  a 
rebel  badge  at  a  ball  in  the  presence  of  Union 
officers  and  families.  Of  those  in  the  Gov- 
ernment, but  not  in  the  Cabinet,  besides  Mr. 
Fohster  and  Mr.  Stansfeld,  the  names  of 
Lord  Dutferln,  Mr.  Layard,  Sir  John  Cole- 
ridge, and  Mr.  Grant  Duff,  are  familiar  to 
many;  while  Earl  Spencer,  the  new  Lord- 
Lieutenant  of  Ireland,  is  not  much  known. 

Of  the  fifteen  members  of  the  Cabinet  every 
one,  we  believe,  is  aUniversity  man  except  John 
Bright.  The  Prime  Minister,  Mr.  Gladstone, 
is  just  fifty-nine  years  old.  He  entered  Parlia- 
ment at  twenty-three  for  Newark,  and  sat  from

in  th;il  high  responsibility.

I  will  not  pretend  that  he  was  an  instructive 
companion.  He  had  neither  knowledge  of  his-

our  fellow-travelers  as  the  praetiee  was  safe  with,

not  to  say  that  it  was  just  as  likely  he  would 
amuse  the  first  group  of  travelers  we  met  by  a 
ludicrous  version  of  my  attempt  to  coerce  him 
into  good  behavior. 

One  day  he  pushed  my  patience  beyond  all 
limit,  and  I  grew  downright  angry  with  him.     I 
bad  been  indulging  in  that  harmless  sort  of  half- 
young   lady,  a  fellow -traveler.

looks,  he  is  already  engaged.  Come,  come, 
don't  look  as  though  you'd  strike  me,  Digby, 
but  deny  it  if  you  can. 

We  were,  fortunately  for  me,  coming  into  a  sta- 
tion as  he  spoke.  I  sprang  out,  and  traveled  third- 
class  the  rest  of  the  day  to  avoid  bim,  and  when  we 
met  at  night,  1  declared  that  with  one  such  lib- 
erty more  I'd  part  company  with  him  forever.

easy  flippancy  he  used  to  wield,  and  a  facility 
with  strangers  that  once  seemed  like  a  specinl 
gift  with  him.  I  tried  in  vain  to  rally  him  out 
of  this  half  depression,  but  it  was  clear  he  was 
not  a  man  of  many  resources,  and  that  I  had 
already  sapped  n  principal  one. 

While  we  thus  journeyed  he  said  to  me  one 
day,  "Ifind,  Digby,  our  money  is  running  short;

in  a  very  modest  fashion  over  his  banking-house, 
and  as  he  was  employed  from  morning  till  night 
I  saw  next  to  notiiing  of  him.  Eccles,  he  said,

shall  lime  tho  qualifications  of  electors  of  tlic

alleges  that  they  have  given  to  the  political  mi-

Jeclares  that  to  insist  upon  their  necessity  is  to

The  returns  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
United  Kingdom  for  the  first  ten  months  of  the 
year  1868  show  that  their  imports  of  food  of  all 
descriptions  amount  to  over  seventy-seven  mill- 
ions of  pounds  sterling,  or,  in  our  currency, 
over  five  hundred  millions  of  dollars.  This  in- 
cludes articles  which  are  subsequently  exported, 
such  as  tea,  coffee,  and  spices  ;  but  it  is  probable

The  fields  of  important  parts  of  Russia,  last 
summer,  were  run  over  with  extensive  fires 
which  swept  through  forests  at  the  time  of  the 
prevalence  of  the  drought  in  England.  A  Lyons 
paper  stated  that  the  grape  in  some  districts  of 
France,  grown  on  light  soils,  had  been  "ronst-

BRIGHT  AND  GLADSTONE. 


Daily  accepted  the  Presidency  of  the  Board 
rade,  as  an  office  in  which  he  might  do  a 

good  and  prevent  some  harm.      Ho  says 
he  believes  the  time  has  come  in  which  a 

may  be  an  honest  Minister  of  the  Crown 
an  honest  servant  of  the  people  ;  but  that 

Minister  he  must  ask  a  lenient  judgment 
s  old  friends.  To  advance  the  general  pur- 
s  of  the  Government  there  must  be  harmony 
ie  cabinet.  To  secure  harmony  there  must 
oncession.  Therefore,  says  Mr.  Bright,  if 
sometimes  see  me  voting  a  little  dilleronily 
i  formerly,  don't  think  that  I  have  changed 
/iews,  but  that  my  vote  has  relation  to  time 
opportunity,  and  not  to  principle  ;  nnd  un- 
tand  that  my  views  remain  unchanged  until 
1  you  that  I  have  changed  my  views. 
:e  reminds  his  hearers  that  Parliaments  do 
move  rapidly  unless  they  are  supported  by 


office  is  a  position  of  peril,  but  that  he  has  beet 
compelled  into  it  by  the  wishes  of  a  very  larg> 
part  of  the  Liberal  parly.  He  tells  .simply  tin 
beautiful  story  of  the  Shunamite  woman,  am 
that,  when  he  was  asked  to  take  office,  hi 
heart  answered  with  hers,  "I  dwell  among 
mine  own  people."  If,  however,  he  £ 
it  impossible  to  harmonize  the  two  pi 
faithful  Minister  and  faithful  represe 
hopes  that  he  shall  be  able  to  discove 
ought  In  relinquish. 

Mr.  Gladstone  also  made  a  speech  under 
similar  circumstances  at  Greenwich,  in  which 
he  agreed  with  his  colleague  that  questions 
must  be  considered  in  their  order,  and  that  the 
first  question  is  that  which  was  most  prominent 
in  the  canvass,  the  Irish  disestablishment.  Mr. 
Gladstone's  government  has  one  signal  ad- 
vantage over  Mr.  Disraeli's,  to  begin  with,  and 
that  is  sincerity  of  faith  in  its  two  leaders.  The 
Tory  Ministry,  as  Mr.  Bright  truly  says,  was  a 
fraud.  It  lived  through  the  session  of  1867  by 
doing  what  in  the  preceding  session  it  had  de- 
clared to  be  destructive  of  the  Constitution  and 
the  Monarchy.  Nobody  believed  that  Mr.  Dis- 
raeli was  a  friend  of  electoral  reform.     But  he 

In  this  country  we  used  to  call  our  most  wretch- 
ed kind  of  politician  a  Northern  man  with  South- 
ern principles.  Mr.  Disraeli  was  a  Tory  with 
a  Liberal  policy.  But  he  proposed  it  for  two 
reasons :  One  was  that  he  was  sure  the  country 
wanted  it,  nnd  the  other  was  that  he  thought  he 
could  control  it.  This,  however,  did  not  help 
his  false  position.  In  bringing  forward  his  en- 
larged suffrage  he  was  insincere  in  precisely  the 
same  way  that  the  Democratic  Senators  were 
who  tried  to  include  women  in  the  bill  giving 
suffrage  to  the  colored  citizens  of  the  District 
of  Columbia.  They  did  not  wish  women  to  vote, 
but  they  hoped  the  proposition  would  prevent 
the  new  citizens  from  voting.  Mr.  Disraei 
did  not  wish  to  extend

upon  the  part  of  the  leaders  is  a  great  moral 
advantage  to  the  new  Ministry,  its  large  pa- 
trician Whig  element  has  undoubtedly  disap- 
pointed many  Liberals.  The  political  convic- 
tions of  England  are  very  advanced.  Its  po- 
litical thinkers  are  heroic,  and  their  tongues 
and  pens  are  free.  Moreover,  the  social  and 
industrial  condition  of  the  country  is  such  that 
very  rapid  changes  are  necessary  to  avoid  a  ca- 
tastrophe. The  Whigs,  as  such,  are  no  longer 
the  leaders  of  liberal  sentiment.  They  are  oft- 
en its  most  brilliant  and  trenchant  adversaries. 

reform,  which  has  elected  Mr.  Gladstone  is  not 
only  progress,  but  rapid  progress.     It  will  re- 
quire him  not  to  be  frightened  at  any  thing ; 
above  all,  to  accept  every  truly  legiti

Now,  as  ill-luck  would  have  it,  Monsieur  More! 
repeated  this  conversation  to  Henri  Koussel. 
The  young  man  heard  him,  and  said  nothing, 
but  bit  his  lip  and  turned  very  red.  He  some- 
times rowed  Charlotte  and  bis  sisters  down  the 
river  of  nn  evening,  and  he  did  so  late  on  the 
afternoon  of  this  day.  The  sun  was  setting  be- 
hind the  old  church  of  Vci  ricres.  Ulue  and  gold 
were  in  the  sky,  and  mingled  in  the  placid  sur- 
face of  the  little  stream  with  the  green  shadows 
of  the  aspens  and  the  willows.  The  boat  floated 
past  quiet  gardens ;  as  he  rowed,  Henri  looked 
at  Charlotte  with  mingled  love  and  anger.  The 
young  girl  sat  still,  for  Louise,  Henri's  youngest

"  Why  do  you  not  trust  me,  Charlotte?"  asked

t.  IiOuert  Lowe  is  n  quasi

miliar with  the  condition  of  educntion  in  that 
country,  and  few  struggled  so  bard  to  avert  an 
extension  of  the  suffrage.  But  the  moment 
the  extension  was  carried  he  saw  the  conse- 
quences, and  he  sprang  up  demanding  univers- 
al education.  Yet  Mr.  Lowe  would  huve  sat 
long  without  making  that  demand  could  the 
old  system  have  been  retained.  To  establish 
a  monarchy  in  Spain,  with  its  elaborate  system, 
and  with  the  distinct  understanding  that  it  was 
diligently  to  fo6ter  an  education  -which  would 
dispense  with  a  monarchy,  is  the  most  vision-

But  the  shrewder  leaders  of  that  party  hn

of  those  who  are  often  selected  as  the  party  r»

often  adopted  to  secure  party  ends.  And  t 
kind  of  objection  would  be  made  with  dang 
ous  force,  for  the  Republicans  who  would  me 
it  are  the  truest  and  best  men  of  the  party. 

Thp  evident  policy  of  the  Republican  pa 
for  the  spring  campaign  in  New  Hampshire,  a 
Connecticut,  and  Rhode  Island,  not  for  Io» 
success  merely,  but  for  the  benefit  of  the  win 
party  every  where,  is,  therefore,  the  simplest  a 
strongest  declaration  in  favor  of  public  honesi 
political  and  financial ;  and  the  plainest  pro 
of  the  sincerity  of  such  declarations  in  the  noi 
ination  of  candidates  untouched  by  the  least  si 
picion  of  direct  or  indirect  corruption.  In  o 
word,  the  difficulty  which  our  friends  must  be 
in  mind  is  a  growing  fear  among  honest  m 
that  the  Republican  party  is  getting  to  bo 
bad  as  the  Democratic.      We  must  show  the 

way  in  which  we  can  do  it.  The  indifferen 
of  such  men  is  our  danger.  They  naturally  b

with  those  of  1867,  a  decrease  in  the  value  of

ns  I  wns,  the  bny  appeared  n  vast  lake,  for  the 
outlet  that  led  seaward  was  hacked  by  an  island, 
and  thus  the  coast-line  seemed  unbroken  through- 
nut.  Over  this  wide  expanse  now  hundreds  of 
fishing-boats  were  moving  in  every  direction,  for 
the  wind  was  blowing  fresh  from  the  land,  and 

If  thus  in  the  crisply  curling  waves,  the  flitting 

boats,  and  the  fast  diving  clouds  above,  thero  was 
motion  and  life,  there  was,  in  iho  high-peaked 

rocks  that  lined  the  shore,  u,  stern,  impassive 
grandeur  that  became  all  the  more  --trikiiig  from 
contrast.     The  plashing  water,  the  fishermen's 

strayed  through  brake  and  copse,  seemed  all  bin 
whispering  sounds  in  that  vast  amphitheatre  of

the  scorn  it  conveyed  in  the  pleasure  her  beauty 
gave  mo.  My  face,  which  at  first  was  in  a  flame, 
became  suddenly  cold,  and  a  fidntish  sickness 

was  creeping  over  me,  wo  that,  to  .steady  myself, 
I  had  to  lay  my  hand  on  a  chair.  "  Won't  vou 
sit  down?'1  said  she,  in  a  voice  fully  as  much 

a  little  distance  from  her  own,  nnd  I  obeyed. 

The  company  appeared  ,iow  somewhat  ashamed 
of  its  rude  display  of  merriment,  and  seeing  bow 
quietly  and  calmly  I  bore  myself — unie-entingly 
too — there  seemed  something  like  n  reaction  in 
my  favor.  Foreigners,  it  must  be  said,  are  gen-

of  ill  breeding,  and  hastily  seek  to  make  amends

Herr  Ignaz.  "  Let  ns  have  a  ramble  through  the

And  thus  passed  oft"  the. little  incident  of  inv 


with  laughter  from  the  spectators.  To  my  in-

gray,  with  blood-shot  eyes  and  a  flowing  tail,  the 
old  fellow  seemed  to  have  caught  the  spirit  of  his 
steed,  for  he  stood  up  in  his  stirrups,  and  leaned 
forward  with  an  eagerness  that  showed  how  he 
enjoyed  the  sport.  Why  was  it  that  the  spectacle 
so  shocked  me?  Why  was  it  that  I  shrunk  back 
into  the  crowd,  fearful  that  he  might  recognize 
me  ?  Was  it  not  well  it  the  poor  fellow  could 
throw  off,  even  for  a  passing  moment,  the  weary 
drudgery  of  his  daily  life,  nnd  plav  the  fool  just 
for  distraction  sake?  All  this  I  could  have  be- 
lieved and  accepted  a  short  time  before,  and  yet 
now  a  strange  revulsion  of  feeling  had  come  over 
me,  and  I  went  away,  well  pleased  that  Hans  had 
not  seen  nor  claimed  me.  "These  vulgar  games 
don't  amuse  you,"  said  a  voice  at  my  side,  and  1 
turned  and  saw  the  merchant,  v,  ho,  at  the  break- 
fast-table, invited  me  to  his  counting-house. 

"Not  that,"  said  I;  "but  they  seem  strange

"  In  search  jl  me  f  Surely  you  mistake." 
"  No ;  it  is  no  mistake.  1  see  no  one  here  in 
a  velvet  jacket  but  yourself;  and  Herr  Ignaz 
told  me  to  find  you  and  tell  you  that  there  is  a 
place  kept  for  you  at  his  table,  and  they  are  at 
dinner  now  in  the  large  tent,  before  the  terrace." 
I  took  leave  of  my  friends,  who  rose  respect- 
fully to  make  their  adieux  to  the  honored  guest  of 
the  host,  and  I  followed  the  servant  to  the  house.

"  I  made  her  up  a  bed  of  rugs  and  wraps  upon 
the  cushions ;  but  she  had  rather  rest  her  head 
upon  mv  shoulder,  she  snid,  and  feel  my  arm 
about  her;  nothing  could  hurt  her  then.  All, 
M.raugo  how-  she  harped  on  that! 

"She  lay  there,  then,  as  she  loved  best— with 
her  head  resting  on  my  shoulder,  not  sleeping 
much  or  soundly;  uneasily,  with  sudden,  waking

she  offered  no  opposition  when  I  asked  her  to  let 
me  pillow  her  head  on  something  softer  than  my 
shoulder.  So  I  folded  a  great  thick  shawl  she 
was  too  well  cloaked  to  need,  and  she  made  that 

"We  were  rushing  full  swing  through  the  wild, 
dark  night  when  she  lifted  up  her  face  and  bade 
me  kiss  her  and  hid  her  sleep  well.  And  I  put 
my  arm  round  her,  and  kissed  the  child's  loving 
lips— for  the  last  time  while  she  lived.  Then  I

in  a  dull,  confused  sort  of  way,  when  1  found  my- 
self alone  in  that  carriage  with  her  lying  dead  on 
the  cushions  before  me.  Alone  with  her — you 
understand?     It  was  confusing.

that  I  had  heard  of  a  murder  precisely  similar  to 
this  already.  I  conld  not  at  first  call  the  thing 
to  mind;  but  presently  I  remembered  —  my 
dream.      And  then  I  asked  myself  this:    Had 


stances  of  the  murder  in  my  dream  were  abso- 

aetual  crime.     Yes;  the  girl  whose  face  in  that 

dream  I  had  never  been  able  to  see  was  Lucille. 

Yes  ;  the  assassin  whose  face  I  had  seen  so  plain- 

ly in  that  dream  was  the  real  assassin.     In  short,  I 

believe  that  the  murder  had  been  rehearsed  before 

me  three  years  previous  to  its  actual  committal. 

to  this  conviction  quite  coolly  and  deliberately. 
It  was  a  conviction.     Assuming  it  to  be  tine,  tlw 

odds  against  me  grew  shorter  directly  ;  for  I  had 
the  portrait  of  the  man  I  wanted  drawn  by  my- 
self the  day  after  I  had  seen  him  in  my  dream. 

And  the  original  of  that  portrait  was  a  man  not 

in  that  old  forgotten  sketch-book  of  mine,  I  was 

What  I  had  to  do  was  to  find  this  man,  and  then 

I  never  doubted  I  should  find  the  man  I  wanted. 

knew  me  I  knew  him  now,  and  he  had  no  no- 

tion that  I  did  know  him.     It  was  a  good  deal 

fairer  fight  between  US. 

"  I  fought  it  out  alone.      My  story  was  hardly 

one  the  Hue  dc  .Jerusalem  would  have  acted  upon; 

and,  besides,  I  wanted  no  into,  Icrenee.     %,,  with 

the  portrait  before  me,  I  sat  down  and  began  to 

dered  that  child.     The   big,   burly  frame,   the 

heavy  yellow  face,  the  sandy-yellow  hair,  the 

physiognomy  generally,  was  Teutonic.     My  man 

were,    and  are  probably,  plenty  of  men    who 

would    have   no   objection    whatever  to  put  a 

knife  into  me,    if  they   got   the   chance;    but 

I  had  i 

had  no  such  quarrel  as  theirs  with  me.  His 
quarrel  with  me  must  have  been,  then,  Lucille. 
Yes,  that  was  it— Lucille.  I  began  to  see  clear- 
ly :  a  thwarted,  dcih-h  pa^ion  — a  cool,  infer- 
nal revenge.  The  child  bad  feared  something  of 
this  sort ;  had  perhaps  seen  him  that  night.  This 
explained  her  nervous  terror,  her  nervous  nnxiety 
to  stop  nowhere,  to  travel  on.     In  that  carriage 

could  she  be  safer?  This  accounted,  too,  for 
her  anxiety  to  reach  England.  He  would  not 
dare  follow  her  there,  she  had  thought ;  or,  at 
least,  eould  not  without  my  noticing  him.  And 
then  she  would  have  told  inc.  She  had  not  told 
me  before  evidently  because  she  had  feared  for 
me  too,  in  a  quarrel  with  this  man.  She  must, 
innocent  child  as  she  was,  have  had  some  in- 
stinctive knowledge  of  what  he  was  capable. .   . .

Addressing  the  young  man  who  had  introduced

"I  know  nothing  about  him,"  returned  Jo-

of  hoodwinking  the  husband,  practice  on  the

Bonaparte  shrugged  his  shoulders,  nnd  opening 

a  knite,  remorseles-ly  cut  the  fruit.

Bonaparte  regarded  the  Republicans' as  his  most

over  the  movements  of  the  emigrants— and  those 

who  had  fought  at  La  Vendee  or  sojourned  in 

England  he  doubly  doubted.

fancied  he  saw  the  plots  of  England  in  all  the 

troubles  of  France,  unhesitatingly  denounced  the 

Royalists. 

At  eleven  o'clock  on  the  evening  of  the  conjur- 
or's visit  to  Josephine  the  First  Consul  left' the 
Opera,  and  proceeded  to  Mabnaison.  He  ar- 
rived unannounced  and  alone,  and  hearing  that 
Madame  Bonaparte  was  sleeping,  went  at  once 


and  kissed  bis  forehead. 

"Cruel!  would  you  have  left  without  sc

It  is  impossible  to  describe  the  distress  of  Jo- 
sephine, who  already  showed  that  kindness  of 
heart  which  in  after-days  won  for  her  the  title  of 
"  the  good  Empress."  She  felt  no  personal  in-

PUBLIC  INSTITUTIONS  ON  BLACK-

The  public  institutions  on  Blackwell's  Island,

The  Charity  Hospital,  in  180  7,  subsisted  Osr.r. 

though  open  to  patients  suffering  from  every  va- 
riety of  disease,  is  largely  devoted  to  the  treat- 
ment of  syphilis.  More  than  2000  cases  of  this 
description  were  admitted  in  1867.  It  will  soon 
be  necessary  to  erect  a  separate  hospital  for  pa-

s  either  granted 
porary  relief  by  the  Superintendent  of  the  Out- 
door Poor,  or  they  are  committed  to  the  Work- 
house. Under  the  present  regulations  the  Alms- 
house is,  as  it  should  be,  a  shelter  for  the  old  and 
infirm  rather  than  as  formerly  the  abode  of  the 
vagrant  and  slothful.  Hospital  rules  have  been 
established,  thorough  cleanliness  is  enforced,  and 
a  more  generous  diet  has  been  provided. 

The  prisoners  committed  to  the  Penitentiary, 
numbering  2311  in  1807,  are  divided  into  three 
classes  according  to  the  gravity  of  their  crimes, 
and,  though  subject  to  the  same  rules  in  respect 
to  labor  and  discipline,  they  work  in  separate 
gangs  and  cat  at  separate  tables,  and  each  pris- 
oner occupies  a  separate  cell.  Only  those  guilty 
of  felony  wear  the  distinctive  dress  of  the  Peni- 
tentiary. "There  are,"  say  the  Commission- 
up  in  ignorance  and  idleness.     They  have  no  oc- 


morning  to  beg  or  pilfer  along  the  piers  and  bulk- 
heads of  the  city,  to  snatch  up,  unobserved,  a 
few  grains  of  coffee,  or  handfids  of  cotton,  or 
scraps  of  iron  ;  and  their  progress  from  the  first 
act  of  pilfering  to  burglary  is  as  regular  as  the 
progress  of  a  seliool-boy  from  class  to  class.  At 
the  age  of  fifteen  the  girls  are  prostitutes  and  the 
boys  professed  thieves.  The  brevity  of  their  lives,

We  are  very  well  aware  that  the  &.

of  the  experience  of  Great  Britain. 

As  we  are  not  the  carriers  of  our  exports,  as 
the  British  are  of  theirs,  the  value  imparted  by 
transportation  is  received  by  the  foreigner,  who 
adds  this  profit  to  that  of  his  commission  as  a 
banker,  and  often  invests  it  in  foreign  securities. 
The  amount  ot  loans  made  here  by  English  cap- 
italists, of  a  floating  character,  on  a  pledge  of 
our  securities,  is  from  fifty  to  a  hundred  mill- 


from  trade,  from  i 

'rum  capital  sent  here  frm

vestments  in  foreign  securities,  and  hence  we 
have  nothing  invested  abroad  to  represent  the 
profit  upon  our  exports,  which  the  English,  as 
the  chief  carriers,  are  enabled  to  exhibit  with 
respect  not  only  to  theirs,  but  also  to  the  ex- 
ports of  this  country.  It  is  fair  to  conclude, 
therefore,  that  the  figures  presented  by  Mr, 
Wklls  are  incapable  of  such  explanation  as 


■vered  from  its

Our  inability  is  due  in  part

only  had  amassed  nothing ;  wo  had  on  the  con- 
trary driven  away  from  the  country  during  a 
time  of  peace  the  precious  metals,  and  were 
obliged  to  conduct  war  with  paper- money. 
Prices  advanced  and  large  fortunes  were  made

of  us  and  pay  a  tax,  which  is  imposed  upon  no- 
body else,  as  the  price  of  the  right  of  suffrage. 
There  are  some  Republicans  whe  have  hith-

speech  to  the  deputation  of  the  colored  Con- 

the  white  people,  but  \^ry  complaisant  to  their 

American  sympathy  for  tho  people  of  other 

tion,  described  those  people  as  "  canaille."  The 
true  Democratic  instinct,  the  honest  faith   in 


is  it  wni  to  a  South  Carolina  overseer. 

Tho  party  which  heaved  suca  portentous

rill  doubtless  vote  against  the  equal  enfranchisc-

that  one  of  tho  swell  parties  with  whom  I  was 
brought  into  business  contact  was  a  Captain  Mil- 
bray,  of  the  Life  Guards.  lie  was  a  fine,  hand- 
some young  fellow,  over  six  feet  high,  and  with 
a  big  pair  ofmustaches.  Many  n  time  I've  seen 
him  in  St.  James's  Street,  on  a  drawing-room 
day,  ogling  the  women,  and  admired,  I  dare  say, 
by  them  ;  and  I've  thought  to  myself  "That  big

me,  root  nnd  branch,  and  I  had  thousands  our 
of  him.  IIo  had  been  a  ward  in  Chancery;  but 
I  had  lent  him  money  before  he  camo  of  age; 


had  wry  soon  run  through  the

l  Foot  Guards,  too,  for  the  mat- 
John's  Wood,  which  cost  him  a  mint  of 
ncy  ;  and  there  was  a  dainty  little  lady,  who 

■i  called  the  Honorable  Mrs.  Hi  vers,  and  w:i.', 


Jerk.  A  worth- 
ier, vindictive,  treacherous,  deceitful  cat!  Ugh[ 
I  should  like  to  have  her  throat  in  my  grip,  with 
her  long,  fair  hair,  and  her  big  gray  eyes  that 
were  always  beaming  with  some  infernal  mis- 
chief or  other. 

This  creature  had  managed  to  get  rid  of  a 
pretty  slice  of  tho  seven  thousand  pounds  which 
Captain  Milbray  bad,  and,  if  the  truth  were 
known,  of  a  good  many  more  thousands  to  hoot. 
She  was  tho  most  extravagant  little  devil  you 
could  possibly  conceive.  Silks,  satins,  velvets, 
llrnsselsand  point  lace;  horses,  carriages,  French 
poodles,  and  Skye  terriers;  powdered  footmen

>py  but  when  in  his  company,  and,  ques- 
le  as  her  career  bad  I'm  nu-rU  been,  she  was 
lly  faithful  to  him.  Well,  one  fine  morn- 
ing tno  young  spark's  rich  old  aunt  took  it  into 
her  head  to  die.  In  due  course  they  buried  her, 
her  will  was  read,  and  tho  result  of  the  peru- 
.f  that  precious  document;  was  that  poor  old 
mier  Nuilshy  found  that  he  bad  been  robbed

''(..et  up,  Lizzie,"  says  Milbray  to  Mrs.  Hir- 
ers ;  and  be  lifts  her  up  and  kisses  her.  Then, 
turning  to  me,  be  adds,  with  his  cursed  proud 
air,  "  Send  any  body  you  like  here,  Mr.  Nailsby, 
to-morrow,  but  if  you  don't  go  about  your  busi- 
ness now  I'll  kick  you  down  Btairs." 

I  did  go  about  my  business  then ;  but  I  locked 
him  up  at  two  o'clock  the  next  day  most  punctu- 
ally. And  what  good,  you  may  ask,  did  I  do 
myself  by  locking  the  Captain  up  ?  Well,  I  acted 
for  the  best— that  is  to  say,  what  1  considered  to 
be  for  my  own  particular  good ;  but,  in  this  case, 
I'm  bound  to  own  that  I  didn't  particularly  serve 
myself  by  arresting  Captain  Milbray.  lie  couldn't 
pay,  for  tlie  very  good  reason  that  he  hadn't  any 
more  money  left.  I  think  that  I  and  the  Hon- 
orable Mrs.  Rivers,  between  us,  hud  had  most  of 
the  cash  that  the  Captain  had  once  possessed. 
He  had  still  a  good  many  rich  relatives,  as  you 
know,  I  dare  say,  Sir  Firebrnce;  but  they'd  all 
bad  enough  of  lending  the  Captain  money,  and 
wouldn't  come  forward  with  another  penny. 

The  long  nnd  the  short  of  it  was  that  the  gal-

Mrs.  Rivers,  although  she  had  helped  to  ruin 
Captain  Milbray,  did  absolutely  love  and  adore 
tho  very  ground  the  Captain  walked  upon.  I've

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


I  should  expressly  expect  liim.  But  such  is  the 
designing  nature  of  the  man  that  he  steals  in 
where  no  reasonable  precaution  or  prevision  could 
expect  him.     As  in  the  following  case: 

Adjoining  the  Caves  of  Ignorance  is  a  country 
town.  In  this  count rv  town  the  Mississippi  Mo- 
muscs,  nine  in  number,  were  announced  to  ap- 
pear in  the  Town  Hall,  for  the  general  delecta- 
tion, this  last  Christmas -week.  Knowing  Mr. 
Barlow  to  he  unconnected  with  the  Mississippi, 
though  holding  republican  opinions,  and  deem- 
ing myself  secure,  I  took  a  stall.  My  object  was 
to  hear  and  see  the  Mississippi  Momuses  in  what 
the  bills  described  as  tiieir  "National  Ballads, 
Plantation  Break-Downs,  Nigger  Part-Songs, 
Choice  Conundrums,  Sparkling  Itepartees,  etc." 
I  found  the  nine  dressed  alike,  in  the  black  coat 
and  trowsers,  white  waistcoat,  very  large  shirt- 
front,  very  large  shirt-collar,  and  very  large  white 
tie  and  wristbands,  which  constitute  the  dress  of

2  among  the  corps  of 
liat  I  took  to  be  (and  she  really 
gave  me  very  fair  opportunities  of  coming  to  a 
right  conclusion)  a  young  lady  of  a  pretty  figure. 
She  was  dressed  as  a  picturesque  young  gentle- 
man, whose  pantaloons  had  been  cut  off  in  their 
infancy,  and  she  had  very  neat  knees,  and  very 
neat  satin  boots.  Immediately  after  singing  a 
slang  song  and  dancing  a  6lang  dance,  this  en- 
gaging figure  approached  the  fatal  lamps,  and, 
bending  over  them,  delivered  in  a  thrilling  voice 
a  random  Eulojmiin  on,  and  Exhortation  to  pur- 
sue, the  Virtues.  "Great  Heavenl"  was  my 
exclamation.      "  Barlow !" 

There  is  still  another  aspect  in  which  Mr.  Bar- 

eyet, 
:  aggressiveness.  For 
the  purposes  of  a  Review  or  newspaper,  he  will 
get  up  an  abstruse  subject  with  infinite  pains, 
will  Barlow,  utterly  regardless  of  the  price  of 
midnight  oil,  and  'indeed  of  every  thing  else, 
save  cramming  himself  to  the  eyes. 

When  Mr.   Barlow  blow-;  liis  in- 
vith  having 

Tommy,  his  target,  but.  he  pretends  that  he  was 
ahvavs  in  possession  of  it,  and  made  nothing  of 
it,  that  he  imbibed  it  with  his  mother's  milk, 
and  that  I,  the  wretched  Tommy,  am  most  ab- 
jectly behindhand  in  not  having  done  the  same. 
I  ask,  why  is  Tommy  to  be  always  the  foil  of 
Mr.  Barlow  to  this  extent?  What  Mr.  Barlow 
had  not  the  slightest  notion  of  himself  a  week 
ago,  it  surely  can  not  be  any  very  heavy  back- 
sliding in  me  not  to  have  at  my  fingers'  ends  to- 

it  over  me  with  a  high  hand,  and  will  tauntingly 

;  every  school-boy  knows  that 
ling  on  the  left  in  the  steppes 
of  liussia  will  conduct  to  such-and-such  a  wan- 
dering tribe  ?  With  other  disparaging  questions 
of  like  nature.  So,  when  Mr.  Barlow  addresses 
a  letter  to  any  journal 
eat  (which  1  frequently  find  him  doing), 
previously  have  gotten  somebody  to  ten  mm 
some  tremendous  technicality,  and  will  write  in

age information  and  intelligence,  knows  as  well

Mr.  Barlow's  knowledge  of  my  own  pursuits  I 
find  to  be  so  profound  that  my  own  knowledge 
of  them  becomes  as  nothing,  Mr.  Barlow  (dis- 
guised and  bearing  a  feigned  name,  but  detected 
by  me)  has  occasionally  taught  me,  in  a  sono-

trifles  that  I  took  the  liberty  of  teaching  him  live-

Dr.  TYOTAU/S  LAST  DISCOVERY. 

That  ever-active  physicist,  Dr.  Tyndall,  who 

of  his  illustrious  master,  Faraday,  has  just  added 
to  his  other  scientific  triumphs 'the  discovery  of 
a  new  kind  of  chemical  experiment,  remarkablo 
for  its  simplicity  of  idea,  and  which  there  is  rea- 
son to  believe  will  soon  open  a  very  largo  field 
of  inquiry.  "  It  consists,"  to  use  his  own  words, 
' '  "ting  the  vapors  of  volatile  liquid-,  p. 
of  concentrated  sunlight,  or  to  the 
light;"   and 

some  of  the  results  which  he  records  are  of  such 
singular,  almost  inconceivable  beauty,  that  for 
this  reason  alone,  and  putting  aside  their  im- 
portant application  to  many  atmosphei 
'  probably  to 


atmospheric    pin- 
they  have  a  claim 
noticed  in  these  pages. 
ii-es  the  c-rpcrim,  niu!  tnJ>n,     It  is  connect- 
th  an  air-pump  and  with  a  series  of  tubes 


The  substances  whose  vapors  were  passed  into 
the  tube  and  there  exposed  to  Btrong  light  are 
known  to  chemists  as  nitrite  of  amy],  iodide  of 
allyl,  iodide  of  isopropyl,  hydrobromic  acid,  hy- 
drochloric acid,  hydriodic  acid.  To  the  great 
majority  of  our  readers  these  terms,  excepting 
perhaps  the  last  three,  convey  no  more  informa- 
tion than  the  appalling  word,  BinterhdmgBvtt- 
terUgewehrpatronenhulscnfabricantarhcilviirlu-'f 
(which  is  quoted  in  the  Cosmos  of  Sept.  W>), 
would  do  to  a  person  totally  ignorant  of  German. 
This  is,  however,  of  not  the  slightest  conse- 
quence, and 

plication  of  a  moderate  heat. 
pors  are  exposed  to  the  above-uescnueu  action, 
clouds  of  the  most  beautiful  appearance,  and  at 
some  points  vividly  iridescent,  show  themselves 
in  the  tube.  When  the  nitrite  of  amyl  vapor  is 
mixed  with  a  little  air  the  cloud  is  white;  but 
if  air  is  freely  admitted  and  the  nitrite  vapor 
thus  attenuated,  the  cloud  varies  in  color  from 
a  milky  blue  to  a  pure,  deep  blue.  "There 
could  scarcely,"  says  the  author,  "bo  a  more 
impressive  illustration  of  Newton's  mode  of  re- 
garding the  generation  of  the  color  of  tho  firma- 
ment than  that  here  exhibited ;  for  never,  even 
in  the  skies  of  the  Alps,  have  I  seen  a  richer  or 
a  purer  blue  than  that  attainable  by  a  suitable 
disposition  of  the  light  miling  n|„,n  rh.-  ,  ..,  ,■

atmosphere  act  in  a  similar  manner?" 

The  cloud  yielded  by  iodide  of  allyl  was  ex- 
tremely beautiful.  The  whole  column  revolved 
round  the  axis  of  the  decomposing  central  beam, 
and  was  nipped  so  as  to  have  an  hour-glass  ap- 
pearance, while  round   the  globular  dilatations

When  I  recovered  mv-.-n-esI  haind  Mr-.  Webb 
bv  my  side,  whom  her  hu-band  had  fetched  out 
of  her  bed  to  attend  to  me.  There,  too,  was  the 
doctor  himself,  ready  prepared  for  the  journey. 

"  Yon  had  better  stay  here  for  the  rest  of  the 
night,  my  dear  Miss  Saltoun,"  said  the  doctor, 
"  or  else  I  may  have  two  patients  on  my  hands 
instead  of  one." 

"I  am  quite  well  now;  and  T  must  get  hack 
home,"  I  replied  ;  nor  could  all  the  well-meant 
efforts  of  the  kind-hearted  couple  persuade  me  to 
the  contrary.  Five  minutes  later,  well  wrapped 
up  in  some  extra  shawls  and  rugs,  I  was  seated 
beside  the  doctor  in  his  gig,  on  my  way  home. 
As  we  were  going  along  I  narrated  to  Dr.  Webb 
the  details  of  my  strange  journey  on  the  ice.  He 
answered  me,  as  I  quite  expected  he  woidd  do, 
that  my  nervous  system  was  out  of  order;  that

which  would  put  all  ghoatly  fane:

The  chief  call

$230  to  $400.  The  weather  lias  been  favorable 
for  opening  streets,  grading  parks,  etc.,  and  there 
is  a  fair  demand  for  strong,  serviceable  horses 
adapted  to  this  sort  of  labor.

THE  WITCH. 
I  thiuk  I'd  like  to  bo  a  witch, 
To  sail  upon  the  sea, 

Mid  wild  waves  Hashing  free. 
I'd  catch  tho  billows  by  tho  mane, 

Tho  bounding  billows  and  strong, 
Goad  them,  and  curb  them,  or  trample  ihem  clown. 

Or  lull  them  with  a  song. 
I'd  churn  tho  sea,  I'd  tether  tho  winds, 

As  suited  ray  fancy  best, 
Or  call  the  thunder  out  of  tho  sky, 

When  tho  clouds  were  all  at  rest. 
I'd  wreck  great  ships  if  they  crossed  my  path, 

With  nil  the  souls  on  board, 
Wretched,  but  not  so  wretched  as  I, 

In  the  judgments  of  the  Lord. 
And  then,  may  be,  I'd  choose  out  one 

With  his  floating  yellow  hair, 
And  save  him,  for  being  like  my  love, 

In  the  days  when  I  was  fair.

MOUNT  VERNON. 
The  return  of  the  anniversary  of  Washing 
ton'm  Birthday  naturally  suggests  curiosity  a 
to  the  present  condition  of  Mount  Vernon,  an. 
more  especially  as  it  is  said  that  Congress  i 
asked  to  make  an  appropriation  for  the  Moun 
Vemon  Association.  This  association  and  it 
objects  have  been  always  a  little  in  disfavor 
but  chiefly  owing  to  ignorance  of  the  facts 
There  was,  indeed,  something  which  struck  th 
public  as  an  attempt  to  save  the  Union  by  i 

noimced;  and  the  demand  for  !w20(>,000  b

Such  being,  us  every  body  will  a

port  of  November  19,  1866,  it  appears  that 
e  receipts  of  the  Association  from  the  begin- 
ug  were  *L>G0,l>n0,  of  which  $68,294  f.9  wa<

the  consent  of  Virginia  could  he  procured  at 
that  time.  But  the  Council  disapproved,  and 
nothing  was  done. 

The  Association  wishes  to  make  the  estate 
self-supporting  by  a  new  system  of  agriculture ; 
but  it  has  no  money  for  the  experiment.  It  is 
supposed  that  Congress  may  grant  seven  thou-

ury to  the  extent  now  proposed  it  will  be  driven 
still  farther  from  year  to  year,  until  the  Treas- 
ury will  be  split  into  fragments. 

The  combination  embraces  schemes  of  all  de- 
scriptions, classified  properly  as  good,  bad,  and 
indifferent ;  but  they  stand  on  the  same  footing 
in  the  estimate  of  the  Ring,  and  are  expected  to 
share  together  the  public  bounty.  The  sup- 
posed danger  of  its  passage  results  from  the

as  to  gratify  the  appetite  of  the  most  voracious 
and  depraved.  It  consists  of  the  division  among 
the  trusted  friends  of  members  of  the  stock  or 
a  controlling  part  of  it  of  thousands  of  miles  of 
projected  railroads.  The  statement  that  fabu- 
lous amounts  have  been  divided  among  the  for- 
ty or  fifty  stockholders  and  directors  of  the  Un- 
ion Pacific  Railroad  in  the  shape  of  the  Credii 
Mobilier,  and  the  open  manner  in  which  its  di- 
used  their  influence  a 

have  undoubtedly  contributed  to  the  dispositioi 

to  foster  new  schemes  of  the  same  character.

der way,  and  that  there  will  be  use  for  the  cap- 
ital elsewhere  which  is  now  so  freely  loaned  us, 
even  if  the  imprudence  of  the  vote  failed  to 
alarm  the  fears  of  those  who  are  accustomed  to

the  financial  condition.  It  is  doubtless  hoped, 
and  there  is  reasonable  ground  for  expecting, 
that  the  ebb,  which  dates  its  movement  from 
the  expiration  of  the  flood,  will  not  begin  till 
they  have  carried  this  enterprise  through  to  the 
ocean.  But  although  we  commend  the  energy 
which  the  country  with  just  pride  has  witnessed, 

felt  in  many  quarters  ns  to  the  manner  in  which 
the  trust — for  this  is  partially  its  character — has 
been  performed  by  those  who  occupy  the  triple 
character  of  directors,  stockholders,  and  con- 
tractors. The  eyes  of  the  whole  world  are  now 
turned  upon  this  great  work;  and  it  were  bet- 
ter that  he  had  not  been  born  who  in  this  high 
trust  justly  encounters  the  public  odium. 

The  measure  now  before  Congress  ought  to 
be  promptly  defeated.  The  country  is  in  no  sit- 
uation to  stand  this  serious  drain  upon  its  re- 
sources. The  guarantee  of  interest  for  thirty 
years  in  currency  will  be  deer 


and  gold  is  expected  to  continue  for  a  time,  if 
to  become  permanent.  The  sagacious  will

jrence  from  that  which  at  a  w  holly  different

We  urge  upon  all  who  hold  a  share  in  the  ob- 
ligations of  the  United  States,  upon  the  banks, 
whose  credit  and  means  are  inseparably  inter-

When  its  excellent

mental  and  important  measures  ?  The  Nation 
very  pertinently  inquires  whether  a  great  deal 
of  difficulty,  say  the  Georgia  muddle,  might  not 
have  been  avoided  if  Congress  had  been  as  anx- 
ious to  do  its  work  well  as  it  was  to  do  it  rapid- 
ly. Mr.  Thaddkub  Stevens  used  to  rise  and 
say  that  to-morrow  at  eleven  o'clock  he  proposed 
to  demand  the  previous  question.  It  was  mar- 
velous that  a  body  of  intelligent  men,  intrusted 
with  interests  so  momentous,  confessedly  deal- 
ing with  a  condition  of  affairs  entirely  without 
precedent,  and  upon  which  they  were  necessa- 
rily so  ignorant,  should  have  submitted  to  so 
despotic  and  unreasonable  a  demand.  Mr. 
Stevens  used  to  add,  with  peremptory  good- 
humor,  as  a  kind  of  explanation,  that  every 
body's  mind  was  made  up,  as  General  Botler 
said  the  other  day  about  the  Tenure-of-Offiee 


previous    question    was    ended.      Fortunately 

fore  no  measure  is  adopted  except  upon  consid- 
eration of  its  merits.  It  is  very  true  that  Amer- 
icans and  Englishmen  talk  a  great  deal,  but  it 
is  equally  true  that  they  have  the  freest  govern- 
ments in  the  world.  The  difference  between 
a  free  and  a  despotic  government  is  talk.  A 
despotism  is  a  permanent  Previous  Question. 
Talk  upsets  thrones,  and  therefore  the  first  blow 
of  tyranny  is  at  the  tongue.  The  old  slave  aris- 
tocracy in  this  country  knew  this.  It  was  will- 
ing that  Yankees  should  think  what  they  chose 
if  they  would  hold  their  tongues.  But  as  the 
Yankee  means  to  talk  down  all  abuses,  and  will 
not  hold  his  tongue,  the  slave  masters  tried  to 
cut  it  out.  They  failed  utterly ;  and  the  war 
has  abolished  the  previous  question  in  the  South- 
ern States,  and  has  opened  them  all  t©  the  freest 
and  fuller  talk  upon  every  subject. 

The  Parliamentary  previous  question  is  in- 
tended to  restrain  factious  debate.  When  the 
discussion  of  a  question  has  been  plainly  ex- 

pable  purpose  of  preventing  a  decision,  it  is  rail 
for  the  majority  to  use  its  power  for  the  public

A  KING  OF  SPAIN.

held,  and  a  Cortes  or  Convention  assembled  i 
decide  upon  the  form  of  the  new  governmen 
Yet  all  this,  and  with  constantly  distrustful  eye 
we  have  seen.  The  Convention  is  now  sittii 
at  Madrid  which  is  to  do  for  Spain  what  fl 
French  Convention,  eighty  years  ago  in  Pari 
tragically  failed  to  do  for  France.  That  tl 
Marquis  of  Serrano,  in  opening  the  scssioi 
was  justified  in  saying,  "The  revolution  h: 

nied;  yet  probably  there  would  be  no  gene

of  the  finn  of  Hodnig  and  Oppovich.  "The  Na- 
own  allE"rope  and  a  verv  con-ider- 
;  he  out.  "  You 
Xeres,  or  a  great 
corn-merchant  at  Odessa,  or  a  great  tallow  ex- 
porter at  Riga.  It's  all  Nathanhcimer!  If  a 
man  prospers  and  shows  that  he  has  skill  in  busi- 
ness, they'll  stand  by  him,  even  to  millions.  If 
lie  blunders,  they  sweep  him  away,  as  I  brush 
away  that  cork.  There  must  be  no  failures  with 
them.     That's  their  creed." 

He  proceeded  to  explain  how  these  great  po-

i',  In-ti mndered;  hov  , 

well  presented   themselves,  Kathauheimcr

would  advance  any  s 


mted.    If  a  country  need 

road,  if  a  city  required  a  boulevard,  if  a  sea-port 
wanted  a  dock,  they  were  ready  to  furnish  each 
and  all  of  them.  The  conditions,  too,  were  never 
,m.  ,!.-■..■■  ,m :•-.•■ neroii  ,  but  still  they  bargained 
always  for  something  besides  money.  They  de 
sired  that  this  man  would  aid  such  a  project  here, 
or  oppose  that  other  there.  Their  interests  were 
so  various  and  wide-spread  that  they  needed  po- 
litical power  every  where,  and  they  had  it. 

One  offense  they  never  pardoned,  never  con- 
doned, which  was  any,  the  slightest,  insuboidina- 
tion  among  those  they  supported  and  maintained. 
Marsac  ran  over  a  catalogue  of  those  they  had 
milled  in  London,  Amsterdam,  Paris,  Frankfurt, 
and  Vienna,  simply  because  they  had  attempted

In  one  word,  he  made  it  appear  that  from  one 
end  of  Europe  to  the  other  the  whole  financial 
system  was  iu  the  hands  of  a  tew  crafty  men  of 
immense  wealth,  who  unthroned  dynasties  and 
controlled  the  fate  of  nations  with  a  word. 

He  went  on  to  show  that  Oppovich  had  some- 
how fallen  into  disgrace  with  these  mighty  pa- 
trons. "Some  say  that  he  is  too  old  and  too 
feeble  for  business,  and  hands  over  to  Sara  de- 
tails that  she  is  quite  unequal  to  deal  with  ;  some 
aver  that  he  has  speculated  without  sanction,  and

HOW  TO  HELP  PRESIDENT  ORANT. 

TITK  long  agony  will  soon  be  over,  and  wo 
shall  nil  know  who  is  to  be  in  the  Cabinet. 
The  reticence  of  the  President  elect  lias  given 
boundless  opportunity  for  conjecture,  and  for 
many  weeks  wo  lime  beeu  regaled  with  very

nlity  tibont  a  no-party  Administration ;  but  a 
patriotic  President  is  a  party  President. 

Now  tbo  principle  which  wo  shall  undoubt- 
edly see  illustrated  in  the  choice  of  the  Cabin- 
et is  one  thai  every  member  uf  the  dominant 
party  should  remember.  The  President  will 
select  honest  and  capable  men  from  the  Repub- 
lican ranks.  Let  every  Republican  who  recom- 
mends another  for  oflir-e  follow  the  same  rule.

eration,  or  that  of  appointment  by  the  Legisla- 
ture, this  temptation  to  commit  these  frauds 

Under  either  of-thesc  latter  modes  of  appoint- 
ment each  locality  would  be  free  of  the  control 
of  any  other,  and  its  vote  would  be  represented 
in  the  Electoral  College. 

The  policy  on  which  the  general  ticket  sys- 
tem was  based  is  simply  this  :  that  it  was  deem- 
ed material  to  the  power  and  influence  of  each 
State  in  the  Electoral  College,  that  its  vote  for 
Presidential  candidates  should  be  undivided; 
whereas  under  the  district  system  it  was  pos- 
sible to  divide  the  vote  of  any  State  among  the 
several  candidates.  But  if  the  interior  districts 
are  to  be  overslaughed  by  the  frauds  of  cities 
under  the  general  ticket  system,  it  will  be  far 

the  honest  voters  an  opportunity  to  be  felt  in 
elections  for  the  Presidency.  The  vote  of  the 
State  ns  a  unit  on  the  side  of  corruption*  is  a 
calamity  which  outweighs  every  consideration 
founded  on  the  pride  and  power  derived  from 
our  numericnl  strength  in  the  Electoral  College 
as  compared  with  that  of  other  States.  Divi- 
sion of  the  vote  affords  the  only  possible  chance 
for  those  who  perform  their  duty  with  integrity.

EDUCATION  AND  POLITICS. 
IN  considering  last  week  the  terms  of 

Constitutional  Amendment,  as  adopted  by 
Senate,  which  forbade  any  tests  for  the  suffr 
founded  upon  race,  color,  nativity,  education 


sedu 


of  the  subject.  It  promptly  and  peremptorily 
disagreed  to  the  Amendment,  and  the  Senate 
decided  to  compromise  by  adding  to  the  decla- 
ration that  color  or  race  or  previous  condition 
of  servitude  shall  not  disqualify  from  voting, 
the  words,  or  holding  office.  It  is  very  true 
that  where  every  body  votes  it  is  generally 
superfluous  to  provide  that  every  body  may  be

how  you  can  possibly  know  I  can  not  surmise." 

"  Listen,  and  I  will  tell  you,"  answered  Cath-

was  at  last  to  be  gratified  we  all  "pricked  up

down  from  her  dictation.

ing  to  the  one  discovered  this  morning.  The 
room  seemed  brilliantly  lighted,  and  every  thing 
was  clearly  and  distinctly  visible;  and  not  only 
v., i-  it  changed,  bur  al-o  peopled. 

"Many  figures  passed  up  and  down ;  brocaded 
silks  swept  the  floor,  and  old-world  forms  of  men 
in  strange  costumes  bowed  in  courtly  style  to  the 
dames  by  their  side.  Among  all  these  figures 
I  noticed  only  one  couple  particularly,  and  I 
knew  them  to  be  bride  and  bridegroom.  The 
man  was  tall  and  broad,  with  dark  hair  and 
eyes,  and  a  sensual  and  cruel  face.  lie  seemed, 
however,  to  be  quite  enslaved  by  the  woman  by 
his  side,  whom  I  hardly  even  now  like  to  think 
of,  there  was  something  to  me  so  repellent  in  her 

"She  was  tall  and  of  middle  age,  and  would 
have  been  handsome  were  it  not  for  a  sinister 
expression  in  her  dark  flashing  eyes,  which  was 
enhanced  by  the  black  eyebrows  which  met  over

her  long  thin  lingers  she  was  holding  up  to  tho 
light  a  necklace  of  large  pearls,  curiously  Intcr- 


ber  repeatedly,  while  her  het 


Then  it  seemed  to  me  that  many  figures 
passed  and  repassed  before  the  window— the 
wicked  woman  (as  I  shall  call  her  to  distinguish 
her),  accompanied  by  a  boy  the  image  of  herself, 
whom  I  knew  to  be  her  son.  lie  was  apparent- 
ly older  than  the  fair-haired  children,  who  also 
passed  to  and  fro,  attired  as  servants,  and  gen- 
crally  employed  in  some  menial  work. 

"At  last  the  wicked  woman's  son,  with  haughty 

fused,  he  raised  his  cane  as  though  to  strike  him. 
Before  he  could  do  so,  however,  the  boy  flew  at 
him,  and  they  engaged  in  a  fierce  struggle. 


"In  the  midst  of  this  the  wicked  woman. 

whom  I  had  learned  to  dread,  came  forward 

and   separated  them ;    after  which  she  pointed 

mperiously  to  the  door,  and  signed  to  the  youn- 

"He  obeyed  her  mandate,  but  first  threw  his 

irms  round  his  sister  in  a  last  embrace,  and  she 

detached  the  pearl  necklace  from  off'  her  neck 

and  gave  it  to  him.     He  then  went  out,  waving 

a  last  ailieu  to  her,  and  I  saw  him  no  more. 

'■  Confused  images  seemed  to  crowd  before  me 

after  this,  and  I  remember  nothing  clearly  until 
[  beheld  an  infirm  and  tottering  figure  led  away 

hrough  the  arched  doorway,  in  whom  I  recog- 

nized the  tall  and  stately  man  I  had  first  seen  in 

company  with  the  wicked  woman,  but  who  was 

now  an  old  man,  apparently  being  supported  to 

lis  bed  to  die.     As  he  passed  out  he  laid  one 

rembling  hand  upon  the  head  of  the  fair  girl, 

iow  a  blooming  woman,  and  a  softer  bhude  came 

she  marked  her  disapproval  by  a  vindictive  frown. 

"She  also  was  older-looking,  but  age  had  in 

io  degree  softened  her  features;    on  the  con- 

rary,  they  appeared  to  me  to  wear  a  harsher 

agression  than  before. 

"In  the  next  scene  which  came  before  me 

he  wicked  woman's  son  was  evidently  making 
ove  to  the  girl.  Both  were  standing  by  the  old 
vindow-seat,  but  her  face  was  resolutely  turned 

dm' it  was  with  an  expression  of  uncontrollable 

lorror  and  dislike.

woman  and  her  son  were  together.  The  son 
seemed  to  be  talking  eagerly,  and  grew  more

place  on  the  20th  of  February.  The  market  is

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


ml  New  Y, 


Mr.  H.  Kaixs  Jackson,  in  au  article  in  the 
Lou  Jon  Times,  states  that  "  whatever  rates  are 
current  in  London  have  to  he  accepted,  they 
being  as  «  rule  the  highest  in  the  world." 
Whether  or  not  we  shall  be  obliged  to  accept 
these  rates,  will  depend  wholly  on  what  has 
been  so  successful  with  cotton,  the  moderation 
which  onr  farmers  show  in  pressing  their  pro- 


The  t 


i.„ulu„l  amount  to  no  mo

aries  of  the  world  ;  but  now  she  will  find  that, 
as  the  means  of  onr  competitors  in  supplying 
her  with  food  are  seriously  crippled,  it  will  bo 
necessary  to  adjust  the  price  to  the  state  of 
things  known  to  exist.  Firmness  on  the  part 
of  our  substantial  farming  interest  will  unques- 
tionably secure  a  fair  price  for  all  they  have  to 
sell.  Fewer  wheat  vessels  are  bound  to  En- 
gland from  the  world  at  large  than  usual,  and 
her  supply  is  unquestionably  lower  titan  at  any 


which,  adding  freights,  would  certainly  produce 
a  loss  in  England  at  the  current  English  quota- 
tions. The  apparent  enigma  is  unrnveled  when 
it  is  considered  that  the  English  at  this  time, 
owing  to  the  terrible  effects  of  the  drought, 
have  an  interest  the  deepest  that  can  sway  men 
to  obtain  food  at  the  lowest  price  possible,  and 
that  New  York  is  the  market  upon  which  the

The  Mark  Lane  Express  of  the  8th  of  Febru- 
ary also  says:  "The  cattle  once  imperiled  by 
the  drought  have  now  got  through  the  roughest 
of  the  season  well,  from  the  continued  growth 
of  esculents  and  grass." 

Undoubtedly  the  mild  winter  has  had.import- 
ant  effects,  and  we  rejoice  that  it  is  so  ;  but  the 
fear  which  the  Lord-Lieutenant  refers  to  is  whol- 
ly at  variance  with  what  the  Caibds,  Sander- 
sons, and  Jacksons  have  expressed,  with  re- 
spect to  English  wants,  in  the  London  Times, 
and  which,  from  having  been  adopted  in  this 
country,  have  lowered  the  price  of  our  cereals

•ulators  of  grain  market  reports  on

THE  NEW  YORK  ELECTION 
FKAUDS. 

The  Congressional  Report  upon  the  election 
frauds  in  New  York  authentically  confirms  the 
universal  impression  that  an  enormous  crime 
against  the  country  was  committed  in  this  State 
by  the  Democratic  managers.  Every  person 
who  was  actively  engaged  in  the  canvass  knew 
that  fraudulent  naturalization  papers  had  been 
sent  out  of  the  city  into  the  neighboring  coun- 
ties and  towns.  The  characters  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Judges  chiefly  engaged  in  the  business 


der  to  say  so  ? 

There  should  be  a  brief  summary  of  tho  re- 
port of  Mr.  Lawrence  cheaply  published  and 
scattered  through  the  country,  that  the  people 
of  the  United  States  may  understand  how  they 
are  cheated  of  their  rights,  and  how  the  es- 
sential principle  of  the  Government  is  assailed 
by  the  managers  of  the  Democratic  party  in 
New  York.  They  would  then  see  the  wisdom  of 
the  substance  of  the  provisions  which  tho  report 
recommends.  The  United  States  alone  should 
naturalize  citizens,  and  defend  by  its  own  offi- 
cers and  laws  the  national  elections.      Indeed, 

safeguard  of  the  suffrage,  shotdd  be  abolished 
rather  than  intrusted  to  the  administration  of 
courts  and  magistrates  which,  like  so  many  of 
those  in  the  city  of  New  York,  again  and  again 
and  again  exposed  in  detail,  have  become  an

ingly, it  is  but  to  show  tho  sort  of  work  that  was 
iutntbted  to  mc,  and  how  naturally  my  pride  was 
touched  at  reeling  how  great  and  important  were 
the  interests  confided  to  my  judgment.  In  my 
own  esteem,  at  least,  I  was  somebody.  This 
.sentiment,  felt  in  tho  freshness  of  youth,  is  nev- 
er equaled  by  any  thing  one  experiences  of  tri- 

como  upon  hearts  joyous  in  the  day-spring  nf 
existence,  hopeful  of  all  things,  und,  above  ull, 
hearts  that  have  not  been  jarred  by  envy,  and 
made  discuidaut  by  ungenerous  rivalry. 

There  was  an  especial  charm,  too,  in  the 
thought  that  ray  life  was  no  everyday  common- 
place existence,  but  a  strange  series  of  lips  and 
downs,  changes  and  vicissitudes  calling  for  con- 
energy  ;  in  a  word,  1  was  u  hero  to  myself,  and 

imparted  to  life  simply  by  that  delusion.  My 
business   at   Agram   was   soon  dispatched.      No 

had  leached  thN  place,  und  I  was  treated  with 
all  the  consideration  due  to  the  confidential  agent 
of  u  great  firm.  I  passed  an  evening  in  the  so- 
ciety of  the   town,  and   was   closely  questioned

Already  the  "resolute  opposition" has  begun 
by  the  most  ludicrous  and  captious  comments 
upon  the  circumstances  of  the  inauguration,

Doubtless  it  is  impossible  in  the  present  heats 
of  party  difference  properly  to  estimate  Mr. 
Seward's  character  and  career.  And  yet  it  is 
significant  and  suggestive  that  those  whose  faith 
in  him  twenty  years  ago  was  deepest  and  stron- 
gest have  long  been  wholly  alienated,  and  those 
who,  in  the  full  flush  of  young  enthusiasm,  re- 
garded him  as  men  only  once  regard  a  politic- 
al chief,  have  long  since  looked  upon  him  in

stantly prevailed,  was  wholly  without  the  sym- 
pathy or  respect  c  "  '

party  of  Europe.  Besides,  as  Coleridge  wise- 
ly says,  and  as  Mr.  Morley  has  recently  admi- 
rably shown,  Burke's  principles  were  always 
the  same,  however  the  practical  inferences  from 
them  at  various  times  may  have  differed.  "Will 
it,  then,  be  urged  by  the  future  historian  that 
Mr,  Seward's  principles  always  remained  the 
same,  and  that  he  separated  from  his  party  only 
upon  the  question  of  method  or  of  policy  ?  Is 
his  political  sagacity  to  be  vindicated  by  placing 
him  with  Mr.  Dixon  and  Mr.  Doolittle  and 
Mr.  Andrew  Johnson?      Is  posterity   to  be

while  at  Pesth,  and  had  the  music  with  me ; 
and,  of  course,   offered  my  services  at  once. 

slight  change  of  dress,  I  found  myself  in  u  hand- 
some salon  with  a  numerous  company.  In  my 
first  confusion,  I  could  mark  little  beyond  the 
fact  that  most  of  the  persons  were  in  the  nation- 
covered  with  precious  stones,  and  the  men  in 
velvet  coats,  with  massive  turquoise  buttons, 
the  whole  effect  being  something  like  that  of  a 

"  We  arc  going  to  avail  ourselves  of  your  tal- 
ent at  the  piano,  Sir,"  said  the  Countess  Hun- 
yudi.  approaching  with  a  courteous  smile.  "But 
let  me  first  offer  you  some  tea." 

Not  knowing  ii"  fortune  might  ever  repeat  her 
present  favor,  I  resolved  to  profit  by  the  oppor- 

pressing  all  display,  contrived   to  show  that  I

I  hud  to  own  that  my  vj-it  was  a  purely  bu-i

with  the  Count ;  and  bad  not  the  very  slightest 
pretension  to  expect  the  courtesies  I  was  then 
receiving. 

My  performance  at  the  piano  crowned  my

There  is  that  amount  of  display  in  the  daiic-

fire,  to  sit- and  weave  the  pleasantest  fancies  that 
had  crossed  my  mind  for  many  a  long  day. 

I  waited  for  some  time,  sitting  by  the  fire-light, 
ind  then  relit  my  lamp.  I  hud  a  long  letter  t^

My  few  days  there  had  been  actually  crammed 
with  those  small  and  plea-ant  incidents  which  tell 


There  was  a  barbaric  grandeur,  on  the  whole, 
in  the  vast  building;  its  crowds  of  followers,  its 
hordes  of  retainers  who  came  and  went,  apparent- 
ly at  no  bidding  but  their  own;  in  the  ceaseless 
tide  of  travelers,  who  hospited  For  the  night,  went 
their  way  on  the  morrow,  no  more  impressed  bv 
the  hospitality,  to  all  seeming,  than  by  a  thing 
they  had  their  own  valid  right  to.  Details  there 
were  of  neglect  and  savagery  that  even  an  hum- 
ble household  might  lune  been  ashamed  of;  but 
these  were  lost— submerged,  as  it  were— in  that 
ocean  of  boundless  extravagance  and  cost,  and 
speedily  lost  sight  Of. 

It  was  now  rhy  task  to  tell  Sara  all  this,  col- 
ored by  the  light*  a  win  in  light,  too,  of  my  own 
enjoyment  of  it.  I  pictured  the  place  as  I  saw

Rebecca,  you'll  never  be  ready  in  time.  Mr. 
llaglmt's  cane  already." 

"I'll  be  ready  directly,  dear  Carry ;  don't  tell 
on  me.  It  is  only  one  of  Sir  Walter  Scott's  nov- 
els, and  it  is  so  interesting  at  the  end." 

"So  it  seems,"  said  matter-of-fact  Carry. 
"Why,  you  are  as  pale  as  a  ghost,  and  all  of  a 
tremble?  Now  I  can  see  why  the  ministers  for-

One  of  Sir  Walter  Scott's  novels,  she  said. 
Could  it  have  been  the  "Bride  of  Lammer- 
moor?''     Heaven  forbid! 

Although  she  was  going  into  company  which 
she  disliked,  and  although  there  was  at  least  one 
man  there  whom  she  hated,  and  whom  she  wish- 
ed to  bate  her,  yet  in  the  irresistible  instinct  of 
beauty  she  dressed  herself  prettily,  and  coming 
calmly  and  proudly  into  the  room  with  a  bow, 
sat  down  by  her  sister. 

Mrs.  Russel  and  Miss  Soper  were  there,  and 

before,  but  one  of  them  was  only  known  too  well. 

He  was  a  very  large,  stout  man,  with  a  head 

the  color  and  shape  of  an  addled  egg,  with  the 

small  end  uppermost.     He  had  a  furze  of  gray

fuul  a  hundred  and  fifty  acres 
h  of  the  <  'apitol,  and  it  whs  de- 
termined to  mind  the  edifice,  as  also  the  private 
structures  upon  the  grounds,  of  the  new  material. 
It  is  asserted  that  $300,000  of  public  money  has 
been  used  in  forwarding  the  enterprise.  The 
blocks  were  constructed  from  sand  taken  from 
the  grounds,  mixed  with  lime. 

Tho  result  has  been  a  failure.  The  material 
does  not  answer  its  purpose.  Portions  of  the 
buddings  constructed  have  crumbled,  and  none 
of  them  are  considered  safe.  It  may  be  that  the 
blocks  were  not  properly  manufactured,  or  that 
they  were  too  hastily  used;  but  certainly,  as 
manufactured  and  used  in  this  case,  they  have 
proved  unsatisfactory  and  useless.  Our  illustra- 
tion shows  a  pile  of  these  blocks  in  tho  fore- 
ground.

tlie  Jt'ie-nliiit's  foreign  policy  is  not

the  Ministers  who  may  bo  sent  abroad.     There 

will  also  positively  be  no  plnce  or  opportunity 

for  M'Cuac.een  under  this  Administration.  The 

perplexity  in  our  foreign  rela- 
tions at  this  time  is  the  English  question.  How 
that  will  probably  be  settled  is  an  inquiry  of 
grent  importance.  We  leum  privately,  from  u 
**  nfonned  source,  that  some  of  those  who 
were  distinctively  our  fiicuds  during  the  war 
deeply  regret  the  rejection  of  the  Johnson 
treatv.  But  that  rejection  wu,  a  loregunc  con- 
elusion,  and  it  should  show  England  precisely 
what  the  feeling  of  this  country  is.  The  treaty 
been  considered  upon  its  merits.  It 
Eat  deal  better  treaty  than  lias  been 
supposed  in  this  country ;  and,  as  we  think,  and 
of  the  leading  English  journals  con- 
ceded, virtually  involved  a  surrender  of  the 
English  position.  But  it  was  regarded  here  as 
the  work  of  a  Minister  of  Southern  sympathies, 
who  had  begun  his  career  in  England  by  oslcn- 
tatiously  fraternizing  with  our  chief  English  en- 
emies, imd  whose  vanity  had  betrayed  him  au 
easy  prey  to  the  selfish  diplomacy  of  John  Bull. 
The  personal  feeling  in  this  country  toward  Mr. 
Reverdy  Johnson  was  quite  enough  to  preju- 
dice public  opinion  fatally  against  any  treaty  he 
might  conclude. 

Then  the  sore  sense  of  injury  which  the  offi- 
cial conduct  of  England  during  the  war  had  ex- 
cited in  the  American  mind  is  wholly  unhealed, 
and  this  the  English  seem  never  to  have  com- 
prehended.    Tlie  evident  eagerness  to  see  our 
destruction  which  that  conduct  evinced  affected 
the  country  more  deeply  than  the  pecuniary 
occasioned.      The  refusal  to  await

have  produced  a  feeling  in  the  United  States

Unspeakable  horror  filled  me.  None  but  those 
who  have  experienced  something  like  this  know 
what  it  is  to  have  such  feelings.  The  body  seems 
paralyzed,  while  the  mind  seems  to  be  endowed 
with  extraordinary  activity,  and  thus  possesses 

But  at  last  I  felt  the  grasp  relax.  I  staggered 
back,  the  grasp  ceased  altogether,  and  I  drew  off

not  what  it  was  that  had  affected  me,  biit  con-

Ho  I  took  my  hat,  fumbled  in  my  pockets  and 

lay  in  a  comer,  I  went  forth  into  the  darkness. 
It  was  not  without  some  feeling  of  trepidation 
that  I  entered  the  dark  passage-way.  Fear  lest 
the  same  Thing  of  Horror  might  return  agitated 
me.     But  I  passed  on  unharmed,  and  reached

CHAPTER   IV. 


And,  alas!  for  poor  Rchccca.  She  was  in 
very  evil  case  indeed.  Sho  would  have  cried 
aloud  for  help  from  man,  but  there  was  none  to 
help  her ;  as  for  prayer,  religion  had  been  for  a 
long  time  hateful  to  her,  so  that  way  out  of  her 
trouble  was  denied  her. 

Tho  phase  of  anger  and  scorn  in  which  her 
soul  had  staid  so  long  was  gone  now  she  was 
alone.  The  reaction  from  it  was  a  feeling  of 
plaintive,  pathetic  loneliness,  infinitely  mourn- 
ful. This  in  its  turn  produced  silent  tears; 
thev  in  their  turn  produced  calm,  and  calm 
thought. 

Thought  sadly  lame,  incoherent,  (inconsecu- 
tive, but  thought  still.  Here  was  an  evil,  to 
her  most  real  and  horrible,  to  be  escaped  from. 
What  were  her  chances  alone  against  the  world  ? 

Sheer  angry  persistent  defiance  and  wrath? 
How  would  that  do?  Well  enough  as  long  as 
it  lasted ;  but  could  she  depend  on  it  to  last  for- 
ever ?  Woidd  they  not  beat  her  by  sheer  perse- 
verance? Hagbut  and  her  father  were-  uncom- 
prcssible  men  of  strong  physical  capacity ;  could 

Kor  look  at  her  now;  tired  out  in  body  by  her 
long  effort,  as  weak  as  a  child,  sitting  on  the 
floor  crying  and  calling  on  her  dead  mother, 
without  even  energy  to  go  to  bed.  A  fort- 
night's fight  with  her  father  would  reduce  her 
to  this  state  permanently,  and  they  would  be 
able  to  do  as  they  liked  with  her.    'That  would 


(.rait,  procrastination?  No,  that  would  not 
do  with  her  father.  She  knew  him  too  well  for 
that.  It  would  only  weaken  her  hand,  and  the 
end  would  be  just  the  same.  No,  try  again, 
poor  Rebecca! 

The  Roman  Catholics !  Her  face  brightened, 
and  her  breath  came  fast  as  she  thought  of  that. 
If  sho  ran  away  to  the  Roman  Catholics  they 
would  take  her  in  for  her  mothers  sake,  and 
shelter  her  behind  their  altars.  She  believed 
that  sho  had  been  baptized  into  their  Church; 
if  so,  tboy  would  know  in  Cadogan  Street,  and 
that  would  give  them  a  right  over  her.  It  seem- 
ed for  a  moment  n  brilliant  idea,  but  it  was  soon 

dulled.     The  case  of  Miss  T was  fresh  then,

ocratic ascendency,  and  he  will  comprehend  the 
immense  progress  marked  by  the  mere  presence 
of  such  a  man  as  Glint  in  the  White  House 

The  President's  first  act  was  his  choice  of  a 
Cabinet.  Undoubtedly  it  was  a  disappoint- 
ment, as  any  Cabinet  must  have  been,  and  the 
greater  disappointment  because  tile  previous  si- 
lence of  the  President  had  excited  expectations 
that  no  result  could  satisfy.  Mr.  Lincoln's 
plan  of  calling  into  his  Cabinet  all  his  rivals 
in  the  nominating  Convention  was  as  severely 
criticised  as  that  of  General  Grant  in  sum- 
moning those  whom  be  believed  fitted  for  tho 
duties  of  their  offices.  Mr.  BncrtANAN's  Cab- 
inet was  purely  political,  signally  destitute  of 
ability,  and  a  mere  conspiracy.  Its  single  c0„. 
spa-nous    member    was    General    Cass.    whom.

Nickie  Ben  for  the  country. 

It  is  amusing  and  preposterous  and  exasper- 
ating to  hear  tho  arguments  urged  to  persuade 
the  iiitliien.es  upon  the  appointing  power.  The 
theory  of  the  present  system  is,  of  course,  that 
every  American  citizen  is  fully  competent  to 
any  possible  position.  Here  is  an  excellent 
carpenter  who  would  like  to  make  you  a  coat. 
Here  is  a  capital  plumber  who  insists  upon  ap- 
praising Canton  silks.  Here  is  a  gallant  middy 
who  is  just  the  man  to  outwit  Talleyilu.-d. 
This  is  the  theory  of  the  present  system  of  pub- 
lic service.  I  had  the  honor  of  -voting  for  you, 
Sir— will  yon  please  recommend  me  as  Assessor 
of  the  Five  Hundredth  District  of  Dakotah? 
Sir,  you  were  my  candidate  for  Governor  three 
years  ago— will  you  just  jyive  me  a  line  to  the 
Postmaster-General  ?  I  have  always  supposed 
you  were  my  friend,  Sir— will  you  urge  me  as 
Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Treasury?  I  think 
we  staid  in  adjoining  towns  last 
you  write  strongly  to  the  President  to  mi 
Consul  at  Shanghai? 

The  result  is  that  the  public  service  i

The  duty  of  the  people  of  New  York  is  plain. 
They  are  heavily  taxed  for  the  support  of  com- 
mon schools.  The  new  Constitution  provides 
for  the  free  instruction  of  all  persons  between 
seven  and  twenty  years  of  age.  Let  the  people 
insist  that  those  schools  shall  be  utterly  free  from 
the  least  taint  of  sectarianism.  The  claim  of 
the  Romish  priests  that  children  ought  to  be 
religiously  taught  has  nothing  to  do  with  the 
question.  Nobody  denies  that  children  ought 
to  be  religiously  taught,  but  every  American 
denies  that  the  State  ought  to  teach  them  relig- 
ion.   To  teach  religion,  it  must  have  a  religion ; 

may  be  as  religions  as  they  will,  they  can  not, 
as  a  State,  profess  or  encourage  any  particular 
form  or  all  forms  of  religion  without  imperiling 
religious  and  political  liberty.     The  Democrat-

Lnders  of  the  government  are  so  familiar  to 
elligent  persons  that  it  is  needless  to  repeat

tion  seemed  to  have  developed  in  me  all  the  pride 
of  my  race,  for  I  can  recall  with  what  sullen  hau- 
teur I  heard  of  this  concession,  and  rather  took 
it  as  a  favor  accorded  than  accepted.  An  over- 
weening sense  of  all  that  my  father  himself 
would  have  thought  due  to  his  memory  was  on 
me,  and  I  tortured  my  mind  to  think  that  no 
mark  of  honor  he  would  have  desired  should  be 
forgotten.  As  a  soldier,  he  had  right  to  a  sol- 
dier's funeral,  and  a  "  Honved"  battalion,  with 
their  band,  received  orders  to  be  present.  For

not  do  this.  They  would  not  yield,  however;

1  do  not  know  why  I  gave  in,  nor  am  I  sure  I 
ever  did  yield;  hut  when  the  heavy  smoke  ot'  tho 
last  round  slowly  rose  over  the  bier,  I  felt  my- 
self jerked  up  into  the  saddle  of  a  horse  that 
plunged  wildly  and  struck  out  madlv  in  a  If  right. 
With  a  rider's  instinct  I  held  my  seat,  and  even 
managed  the  bounding  animal  with  the  hand  of

e  death  itself  gathered  over  my  heart— a  sense 
horror,  of  where  I  was  and  why,  came  over 
i.      My  arms  fell  powerless  to  my  sides,  and 


hx-ior  remained  with  me  for  some  days, 
ime  again  nnd  again  ti>  visit  me  afterward. 
Iiief  care  of  me,  however,  devolved  on  my 
's  valet,  a  smart  young  Swiss,  whom  I  had 

difficulty  in  believing  not  to  be  English,  so  per- 

tenly  did  be  spaak  our  language. 

I  "soon  saw  this  fellow  was  thoroughly  con-

ire.'nh  dispatched  two  telegraphic  mes-ages,  bill 
*  yet  received  no  reply.  "I  beg  pardon,  Sir,' 
lid  La  Grange,  entering  in  his  usual  noiseless 
ishion;  "butlthought  you  would  like  to  know 
iat  my  lady  has  left  SchloBS  Hunyadi.  Sin 
)0k  her  departure  last,  night  for  Pesth." 

"  You  mean—?"  I  faltered,  not  really  know 
i-  what  J  would  say. 

"  Yes,  Sir,"  said  he,  thoroughly  aware  of  wha 


dred  pounds  to  go  and  propose  for  her,  and  prom- 
ised old  Pierre  his  patronage  if  he  agreed  to  it." 

' '  Are  you  sure  of  this  ?"  asked  I,  eagerly. 

"Nixdn  himself  told  me,  Sir.  1  remember 
he  said,  'I  haven't  much  time  to  lose  about  it, 
for  the  tutor,  Mr.  Eccles,  is  quite  ready  to  take 
her,  on  the  same  terms,  and  Sir  Roger  doesn't 
nire  which  of  us  it  is.'" 

"  Nor  the  lady  either,  apparently,"  said  I,  half 

' '  Of  course  not.  Pauline  was  too  well  brought 
up  for  that." 

I  was  not  going  to  discuss  this  point  of  ethics 
■with  Mr.  La  Grange,  and  soon  fell  off  into  a  vein 
of  reflection  over  early  loves,  and  what  they  led 

luil-  J  iclnrme  and  her  fascinations. 

I  would  have  liked  much  to  learn  what  sort  of 
a  life  my  father  had  led  of  late :  whether  he  had 
plunged  into  habits  of  dissipation  and  excess  ;  or 
whether  any  feeling  of  remorse  had  weighed  with 
him,  and  that  he  Borrowed  over  the  misery  and 
the  sorrow  he  had  so  recklessly  shed  around  him  ; 
but  I  shrunk  from  questioning  a  servant  on  such 
matters,  and  merely  asked  as  to  his  habitual  spir-

If  a  sentiment  of  honor  and  lovalty  had  made

Mr.  La  Grange's  curiosity  to  learn  what  amount 
of  money  my  father  had  left  behind  him,  and 
what  were  the  dispositions  of  his  will,  pushed 
my  patience  very  hard  indeed.  I  could  not, 
however,  exactly  afford  to  get  rid  of  him,  as  he

involve  me  in  great  difficulty,  if  so  disposed. 

At  last  we  set  out  for  England ;  and  never 
shall  I  forget  the  strange  effect  produced  upon 
me  by  the  deference  my  new  station  attracted 
toward  me.  It  seemed  to  me  but  yesterday  that 
I  was  the  companion  of  poor  HanserL,  of  the 
"yard;"  and  now  I  had  become,  as  if  by  magic, 
one  of  the  favored  of  the  earth.  The  fame  of 
being  rich  spreads  rapidly,  and  my  reputation 
on  that  head  lost  nothing  through  any  reserve  or 
forbearance  of  my  valet.  I  was  an  object  of  in-

stinct of  self-care,  and  had  lost  its  mistress,  or 
let  itself  be  stolen,  and  had  come  to  this.  It 
cowered  when  it  saw  Jim  Akin  and  Mr.  Spicer; 
but  when  it  saw  a  lady  with  them  it  looked  up  at 
her  with  its  light  hazel  eyes,  and  held  up  its  poor 
innocent  little  paw. 

Her  father  might  well  call  her  a  fool.  I  sup- 
pose she  was  a  fool  according  to  his  light.  Her 
heart  seemed  to  swell  suddenly  within  her,  and 
her  eyes  not  nil  unready  for  tears,  for  the  little

ocean's  garb;  such  a  youth  as  Rebecca  had 
never  seen  before.  As  one  looked  at  him  with 
traveled  eyes,  there  came  on  one  dim  memories 
of  peaceful  seas  among  soft  blue  islands  far 
away;  of  angry,  cruel  icebergs;  of  wild,  horri- 
ble, staggering  nights  when  ruin  was  abroad, 
and  death  looked  with  pale  face  over  the  steers- 

A  youth  who  had  looked  steadily  on  death  often, 
and  would  look  again  and  yet  again  without  ter- 
ror, and  die  at  the  last  fighting  fiercely.  Still 
roung,  handsome,  and  gentle. 

The  old  narrow- windowed  parlor  seemed  the 
darker  and  the  dingier  for  his  presence.  With

nothing  there  so  splendid  for  many  years.     He-

of  striking  facts.  It  is  pleasant  to  see  this  indi-

"Shall  I  dance  and  flirt  with  some  one  else

But  Harley's  nature  was  too  honest  to  attempt 
such  a.  thing;  so  he  said.  "No,  thank  you;  I 
have  a  partner  for  the  fourth  dance." 

And  he  wnited  patiently  until  the  fourth  ar- 
rived.     Ji  proved  to  be  a  gallop. 

"  How  well  you  dance  I"  said  Miss  Levering, 
leaning  on  his  shoulder  affectionately  as  he  pio- 
neered her  through  the  whirling  crowd. 


"I  must,"  he  replied,  firmly.     "  I  can  not  live 

without  you !     Oh  Louise,  do  not  break  my  heart

"Oh,  no,  Harley,'  she  murmured,  "you  are

in  the  fore-ground,  along  which  a  splendid  bay

The  point  has  been  plain  from  the  beginning 
of  the  long  debute.  The  substantial  question 
is,  shall  the  President  remove  at  pleasure  ?  The 
discussion  has  been  inevitably,  but  illogioally, 
mingled  with  the  question  of  personal  confidence 
in  General  Grant  ;  for  it  is  simply  a  question 
of  purity  of  administration.      The  Constitution

artificial    irrigation    necessary.       From    these 

causes,  in  greut  part,  arise  the  complaint  of  the 

Manchester  associations  that  the  cultivation  of 

16,000,000  acres  in  cotton  gives  only  the  pro- 

duct which  in  the  United  States  is  raised  on 

2,000,000. 

The  cultivation  of  the  cotton-plant  resembles 

more  nearly  that  of  the  best  garden  cultivation 

than  any  other.      The  process  of  preparation, 

planting,   plowing,   hoeing,  picking,   cleaning, 

and  baling,  requires  incessant  labor  distributed 

which  can  be  derived  from  the  most  favorable 

natural  causes.      The  heat,  assisted  with  fre- 

quent rains,  necessary  to  bring  the  plant  to  per- 

fection, and  the  degree  of  frost  necessary  to  de- 

be  grubbed  out,  or  would  be  perpetual  and  m- 

portions.     In  tropical  India  the  plant  is  not 

after  maturity  destroyed  by  frost ;  on  the  con- 

trary, heavy  labor  is  necessary  to  accomplish 

its  destruction  along  with  the  weeds  which  are 

protected  by  the  same  mildness  of  climate. 

Great  cracks  and  fissures  in  the  earth  are  pro- 

duced :n  India  by  the  extraordinary  heat,  which 

renders  irrigation  difficult — an  aid  to  cultiva- 

tion which,  even  in  more  favored  climates,  is 

expensive  and  troublesome.     If  irrigation  were

with  the  favorite  daughter  of  his  dead  wife,  be- 
gan to  mope  and  brood  over  that  miserable  old 
business.  It  was  evident  also  to  Kebecca  that

Lady  Marlesdale  gazed  upon  this  portrait  with 

features  were  rather  commonplace,  though  pass- 
ably handsome,  and  it  required  some  very  strong 
emotion  to  render  them  expressive.  That  strong 
emotion  was  working  within  her  now  no  one  could 
have  doubted  who  saw  how  the  face  changed. 

"It  was  no  fancy,"  she  said  to  herself;  "it 
was  not  an  imagination ;  I  did  not  think  it  mere- 
ly because  she  has  a  brown  complexion  and  won-

not  like  a  foreigner  and  a  Papist,  and  feel  that 

fancy.  This  girl  might  be  the  original  of  that 
picture— she  might  bo  the  French  countess,  the 
wicked  French  queen's  wicked  companion,  her- 
self as  handsome,  perhaps  as  wicked  too.  I  nev-

brow,  the  same  eyes,  the  same  smile,  the  same 
look  of  power  about  her,  and  yet  of  sunny  youth 
and  girlishness.  I  wish  she  had  never  crossed

Lord  Burnham  of  his  beautiful  wife,  within  the

to  show  Lord  Burnhnm  that  he  was  not  alone. 
From  the  far  end  of  the  corridor  into  the  centre

If  some  such  system  he  adopted,  and  the  keep-

THE  MODERN  GRACE  DARLING. 

The  illustration  given  on  page  263  represents

THE  DANISH  TREATY. 

r  TIF  letter*  cf  "Dixon'  tollio  Boston  Datf 


in«  authority  i 
ml.     If,  now, 


Senate  thought  it  expedient  to 
e  utmost  haste  the  treaty  f. 
ho  icy  desert  of  Alaska,  it 


three  millions  of  dollars  of  school  money  in  the 
city  olso  to  be  managed,  have  any  influence  upon 
their  striking  zeal  in  the  cause  of  education. 
It  is  true  that  no  necessity  for  a  change  has 

bill  that  any  alleged  evils  can  be  remedied  by 
it;  that  even  a  representation  of  nominal  Re- 
publicans in  the  Board  is  not  necessarily  se- 
cured ;  and  that  it  pats  out  of  office,  for  no 
cause  mentioned,  men  who  have  been  regular- 
ly elected  for  a  specTfied  term.  But  in  Mr. 
Sweeny's  judgment  the  interests  of  education 
and  of  an  economical  administration  of  the 
schools  are  in  imminent  peril,  unless  he  and  his 
friend  Mr.  Mayor  Hall  and  a  select  Tammany 
circle  have  the  control  of  the  school  system,  and 
ipecially  of  the  school  moneys.  And  that 
icre  may  not  be  even  nn  unkind  suspicion  that 
any  party  or  personal  consideration  actuate  him 
and  his  friends,  he  provides  that  two  Repub- 


Jnne,  July,  August,  and  September  the  fall  was 
always  below  the  average;"  and  he  thus  con- 
cludes :  "  There  appears  to  have  been  no  year

TIIE  DEMAND  FOR  FOOD  IK 

ENGLAND. 
Win. never  a  period  of  uneasiness  arrives  as 
to  the  inndequatcness  of  the  supply  of  food  in 
England,  for  a  population  of  over  thirty  millions, 
living,  as  all  accounts  agree,  from  "hund  to 
mouth,"  there  is  always  a  writer  of  recognized 
authority  to  address  the  pebple  there  with  a 
view  to  calm  their  fears  and  keep  down  the 
price  of  grain  at  home,  and  particularly  abroad. 
The  real  audience  addressed  is  the  grain-pro- 
ducing class  in  all  countries,  who  are  expected 
to  suppose  that  powerful  interests  do  not  influ-

ie  pertinacious  misrepresentation  of  the  wants 
'England,  and  the  belief,  widely  spread,  that 
iter  wheat  crop  was  larger  than  usual— which 

induced  shippers  in  all  markets  to  submit  to 
the  decline  which  England  commanded. 

The  critical  time  for  Englnnd  is  that  which 
will  intervene  between  this  and  the  next  har- 
vest, which  will  probably  not  generally  com- 
mence until  about  the  middle  of  August.  Last 
year,  owing  to  the  drought,  it  commenced  in  the 
middle  of  July,  but  it  was  conceded   to  be  a 

usual,  a  corresponding  deficiency  in  other  crops 
will  be  the  consequence  of  it.  To  provide  for 
this  period,  not  only  wheat,  but  all  descriptions 
of  food,  will  be  necessary,  and  it  will  be  the  safe 
policy,  on  the  part  of  such  of  our  farmers  as  are 
lice  from  debt,  to  hold  their  crops. 

Mr.  Caird  expects  that  in  the  face  of  the

"  1  knew  you  were  one  of  ust  my  dear,  the  first 

moment  I  set  eyes  on  you." 

"I'll  do  my  best,"  said  Rebecca.     "If people 
will  be  kind  to  me,  I  will  do  any  thing.     But  I 

sit  moping  and  dull,  without  any  power  of  action, 
in,-  -tr.n>  and  days." 

"That's  bad*"  said  Mrs.  Tryon;   "but  it  is 
better  than  flying  out  and  saying  things  you  never 


jecausc  a  woman   can't  ship

for  me,  I  only  speak  of  what 
I  have  seen  in  others,  for  I  have  bad  no  experi- 
ence myself." 

"  You  were  married  a  long  time,  Mrs,  Tryon?" 
caid  Rebecca. 

"Yes,  hut  me  and  my  old  man  never  bad 
words.    We  both  had  tempers,  and  so,  knowing

thar  we  shall  meet  again.  Ami  then  all  douots 
will  be  cleared  up,  and  old  love  revived  (as  if  it 
wanted  reviving),  and  we  shall  go  on  band  in 
hand  through  eternity.  Therefore,  Miss  Turner, 
what  does  such  a  trifling  parting  as  ours  matter  ?" 
"Then  we  shall  meet  our  loved  ones  again?" 

"Certainly,"  said  Mrs.  Tryon:  "unless  the 
'I  shall  go  to  him,  but  he  shall  not 

ie.'     I  think  that  finishes  the  argu- 
.,  if  there  were  any.     Piff." 
The  gentle  Mrs.  Camp  changed  the  conversa- 
tion by  arriving,  after  a  short  absence  with  her 
husband,  laden  with  quaint  boxes  and  quainter 
buttles,  the  spoils  of  the  East. 

"We  sailed  to  Levant  last  voyage,  Miss,"  .-he 

friends.  And  if  Mr.  Morley  and  his  sweet-heart 
(I  know  no  better  word,  Miss  Turner),  are  not 
friends,  who  are?  Here  are  figs  from  Nyra,  bet- 
ter than  you  can  buy,  and  here  are  the  little 
grapes,  from  Xante  (you  call  tbem  currants), 
which  I  laid  in  sugar  by  my  own  hand,  just  be- 
fore baby  was  born.  You  don't  take  wine,  I 
doubt;  but  take  a  little  to-day,  for  our  sakes  ; 
this  is  some  that  my  old  man  bought  at  St.  Lu-

Meauwhile  the  summer  morning  dawned  gra-

shone  in  lustrous  rose,  pink,  and  violet  on  the 
mountain  peaks,  and  now  was  creeping  slowly 
down  through  the-  mists  along  their  sides.  Light

such  regions  are ;  but  a  summer  dawn  is  very, 
veiy  early  in  the  Alps  ;  and  now  that  she  looked 
from  the  roof  of  the  'Power  across  the  valley,  she 
looked  upon  a  sceue  almost  as  lonely  as  it  was 
lovely.     In  truth,  she  had  heard  her  brother  go

him,  and  how  her  father  and  mother  would  have 
loved  him  if  they  had  been  living,  and  now  she 
hoped  that  his  influence  mid  bis  example  would 
make  her  brother  a  steady  lad.     Of  the  unfortu-

"Oh,  Pierre!"  she  cried,  "what  have  you

down  the  steps,  and  into  the  room  below,  and 
almost  into  the  arms— not  of  her  brother,  but  of 

She  gave  a  great  cry  on  seeing  him.  Indeed 
his  look  was  enough  to  startle  strong  nerves,  such 
as  hors  were.  He  was  gaunt  as  a  spectre,  fierce 
of  aspect  as  a  wolf;  his  eyes  were  bloodshot; 
his  lips  were  passionately  compressed,  and  yet 
quivering ;  he  was  covered  with  dust  and  dirt, 
and  the  brambles  and  straws  of  the  fields  and 
paths  were  sticking  uncouildy  every  where  about 
his  clothes,  his  beard,  and  his  hair.  If  the  old 
superstition  about  the  wchr-wolf  were  true,  this 
might  have  been  taken  for  the  possessed  man

Washoe  region  of  the  same  State,  which  has 
produced  over  &!>(),  1100,000  in  bullion,  furnished 
ores  assaying  as  high  as  £1000  per  ton.  Speci- 
mens takaufrom  the  Ehediardt.  Mississippi,  and 
several  other  mines  in  the  White  Pine  District, 
arc  said  to  have  a-ayed  #20,000  per  toil. 

The  average  yield  per  ton  for  November  was 
$257  1 7  ;  for  December,  $*2<J  52.  Some  thirty, 
considerable  mines  and  numberless  smaller  mies 

and  in  the  iieiL'lihoLh.H.d.  Six  mills,  employing

expression  of  national  feeling,  that  the  implied 
or  inferential  acknowledgment  is  not  sufficient, 
rheremust  he  a  flunk,  luil.  ^i.-iiu:ous  confession, 
jucli  ns  one  truly  honorable  man  would  make 
:o  another.  Without  this,  in  some  form,  there 
:an  be  no  treaty;  and  the  precedent  which 
Kiiglnml  has  estidili-hi.il  may  suddenly  tuni  and 
rend  her.  That  fear,  indeed,  would  merely 
move  the  proud  scorn  of  an  Englishman  if  the 
precedent  were  just.  But  it  was  a  precedent 
iii.lVu.ndl>,  unjust,  untenable  in  international 
1 1«.  and  theiefurc  to  be  openly  and  generously 

But  should  this  bo  done  by  England  the 
moral  account  seems  to  us  to  be  as  fairly  closed 
as  when  one  honorable  man  apologizes  to  an- 
other. The  aggrieved  person  does  not  insist 
further  upon  pecuniary  reparation  for  his  in- 
jured honor.  He  asks  only  in  addition  that 
computable  losses  may  bo  satisfied.  When, 
therefore,  England  shall  have  made  the  ex- 
pression of  regret  which  Mr.  Sumner  demands, 
there  will  remain  only  the  question  of  damages 
for  nctual  and  proved  losses.  If,  however,  the 
London  Times  speaks  as  truly  the  sentiment 
of  England  as  Mr.  Sdnner  that  of  the  United 
States,  there  will  bo  no  present  settlement. 


the  President.  The  party  papers  have  nothing 
to  say  bat  that  every  thing  is  wrong,  nothing  to 
propose  but  that  every  thing  be  undone. 

As  usual,  the  Democratic  party  hopes  for  re- 
invigoration  not  from  fair  debate  of  great  poli- 
cies, but  from  the  readmission  to  political  priv- 
ilege of  those  who  repudiate  the  American  prin- 
ciple of  the  equality  of  all  citizens.  But  that 
will  not  be  enough.  The  prejudice  against  col- 
or when  it  was  a  bulwark  of  the  system  of  which 
the  Democratic  party  was  the  defense  was  in- 
calculably useful ;  but  with  the  fall  of  the  sys- 
tem the  appeal  to  the  prejudice  is  pointless. 
There  is  no  insight,  no  heroism  in  the  Demo- 
cratic leadership.  The  party  is  but  a  disorder- 
ly camp  of  the  disaffected  and  disappointed. 
It  must  find  some  newer  ground  than  hostility 
to  equal  rights,  or  relinquish  the  hope  of  suc- 
cess, unless  the  conduct  of  the  Republican 
party,  where  it  has  a  majority,  as  in  the  Legis- 
lature of  New  York,  shall  persuade  the  country 
that  there  is  really  no  choice  between  the  par- 
ties. But  even  in  such  instances  as  the  Legis- 
lature of  which  we  speak,  it  is  the  duty  of  all 
good  citizens  to  remark  that  it  is  the  combina- 
tion of  a  few  Republicans  only  with  the  Demo- 
crats that  does  the  mischief. 


OUR  FRIENDS  THE  ENEMY. 

Twenty-one  States  have  ratified  the  Equal 


his  contempt.  Four  or  five  years  ago  equal 
suffrage  was  defeated  in  Connecticut  by  a  ma- 
jority of  seven  thousand.  Last  spring  the 
Democrats  elected  their  Governor  by  nearly 
two  thousand  majority,  and  three  Members  of 
Congress.  In  the  autumn  the  Republicans 
carried  the  State  for  Grant.  This  spring, 
when,  accordiug  to  the  Democrats,  equal  suf- 
frage was  the  issue,  the  Republicans  elect  their 
Governor  and  gain  two  Members  of  Congress, 
beating  the  Democracy  in  their  strongest  holds  ; 
and  K-i-aii-i:  the  majority  for  Governor  is  small-

signally  defeated  in  the  State  than  they  have 
been  for  many  a  year,  and  instead  of  frankly 
acknowledging  the  fact,  and  seeing  that  it  is  fu- 
tile to  fight  upon  an  issue  settled  and  settled 
again,  one  of  their  organs  feebly  peeps  that  it 
isn't  much  of  a  shower,  and  another  gravely  de- 
clares that  it  is  the  natural  consequence  of 
sticking  to  Wade  Hampton's  platfx 


THE  GOVERNOR'S  VETO. 

The  extraordinary  Broadway  Railroad  bill, 
of  which  we  spoke  last  week,  and  which  gives 
the  control  of  the  chief  streets  in  the  city  of 
New  York  to  a  few  persons  named  or  their  as- 
signs, has  been  apparently  defeated  by  the  pros- 
pect of  a  veto  from  the  Governor.  The  hill  for 
a  railroad  in  One  Hundred  and  Twenty-fifth 
Street  haying  been  presented  to  the  Governor 
he  returned  it  to  the  Senate  with  a  decisive 
message.  The  motion  to  lay  the  veto  upon  the

te  one  great  truth  of  our  recent  political 
ry  is,  that  th©  Republican  and  Democratic 
es  were  opposed  upon  the  issue  of  slavery. 
Republicans  won  at  the  polls  and  upon  the 
of  battle,  and  again  and  again  and  again 
e  polls.  They  have  emancipated  the  slaves. 
■  have  given  them  civil  rights.  They  have 
i  them  political  rights.  At  each  step  they 
appealed  to  the  country,  and  have  been 
orted.  They  have  been  intrusted  with  the 
rnment  for  four  more  years.  Their  new

parties  are  equally  interested  in  such  schemes, 
that  the  13  nays  were  all  Republicans,  and  the 
18  ayes  were  all  Democrats  except  four,  Messrs. 
Humphrey,  M  atooon,  Van  Petten,  and  Wi  ix- 
iams.  We  hope  that  Governor  Hoffman  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  veto  this  bill  also.  We 
should  be  glad  to  see  a  Democratic  Governor 
defying  the  Democratic  ring  of  the  city  of  New 
York. 

The  principle  of  the  veto  is  very  distinctly 
stated  by  the  Governor,  and  it  is  perfectly  sound 
and  of  universal  application.  "In  my  judg- 
ment," he  says,  speaking  of  the  Sixth  and  Eighth 
Avenue  railroads,  "  the  Legislature  had  no  more 
right  in  morals  to  give  away  these  privileges 
and  deprive  the  tax-payers  of  the  city  of  their 
just  rights  in  respect  to  them,  than  they  had  to 
impose  a  direct  tax  of"  the  same  pecuniary  ex- 
tent for  the  benefit  of  the  persons  named  in  the 
bill."  Nothing  could  he  truer.  Here  is  a  fran- 
chise for  which  two  millions  of  dollars  have  been 
offered,  and  they  are  spumed.  Indeed,  the  very 
offer  only  revealed  to  the  men  bought  with  the 
stock— if  any  such  there  were— the  real  value 
of  their  bribe.  Here  is  a  bill  which  authorizes 
a  company  to  collect  seven  cents  fare,  and  a  re- 
sponsible offer  is  made  to  do  the  same  work  for 
three  cents  fare,  and  it  is  laughed  at.  The  game 
was  made.  The  booty  was  virtually  in  pocket. 
Amendment  after  amendment,  designed  to  save 
"  '  ■  money  to  the  people,  was  voted  down  by 
Democratic  leaders  of  the  enterprise,  as- 
sisted by  a  few  Republican  allies ;  and  it  was 
the  hope  that  the  bill  might  be  pushed  through 
before  the  public  understood  its  character. 

If  its  friends  call  it  up  again  and  succeed  in 
passing  it,  the  Governor  must  necessarily  veto 
it—an  act  which  would  bring  him  in  direct  con- 
flict with  his  party  friends,  and  seriously  im- 
peril his  political  prospects.  It  has  been,  indeed, 
suggested  that  the  whole  affair  ie  a  party  plot 
to  enable  the  Governor  to  pose  as  an  austere 
advocate  of  public  justice  and  economy.  But 
that  is  "putting  rather  too  fine  a  point  upon 
it;"  although  we  certainly  think  that  the  au- 
thor of  the  proclamation  in  regard  to  the  city 
electoral  frauds  last  November  ought  very  care- 
fully to  improve  every  opportunity  of  seeming

capacity  tor  deUcate  diplomatic  negotiation  ; 
but  upon  such  a  point  the  Senate  will  probably 
trust  the  judgment  of  so  wise  and  experienced 
a  man  as  Senator  Sumner.  If  be  is  convinced 
from  his  personal  acquaintance  with  Mr.  San- 
ford,  and  his  official  knowledge  of  Mr.  San- 
nmu's  diplomatic  ability,  that  he  is  equal  to 
tht  Spauidi  Mission  uiH-kr  the  present  circum- 
staines,  the  Senate  «  ill  undoubtedly  listen  with 
great  deference.  But  wc  hope  sincerely  that 
(Ik-  Senators  will  reflect  that  it  is  in  no  sense  a 
personal  affair,  and  that  the  position  at  this 
time  demands  the  highest  capacity. 

Mr.  John  Jay  goes  to  Austria,  the  first  im- 
portant olhriai  recognition,  we  believe,  of  his 
long  and  spotless  and  faithful  advocacy  of  the 
principle-,  which  at  last  control  the  Government. 
This  is  one  of  the  appointments  which  is  in- 
stinctively and  nniveisailv  approved.  Ex-Gov- 
ernor CURTIH  of  Pennsylvania  is  appointed  to 
Russia.  Governor  Cubiin's  name  is  familiar 
to  the  country  as  one  of  the  War-Governors, 
hut  there  is  not  n  very  clear  knowledge  of  his 
powers.  He  was  a  candidate  for  the  Vice- 
L'residency.  hul  the  great  States  generally  have 
a  candidate,  and  he  was  urged  for  a  place  in 
the  Cabinet.  His  appointment  to  Russia  is 
generally  felt,  we  should  say,  to  be  a  proper 
one,  for  the  War-Governors  are  very  gratefully 
remembered. 

Mr.  Bancroft  will  undoubtedly  remain  for 
the  present  in  l'ru-sia,  and  Mr.  Marsh  in  Italy. 
They  are  both  m.is|  accomplished  and  efficient 
Ministers,  and  such  as  the  country  ought  to  re- 
gard with  the  utmost  satisfaction.  Indeed,  it 
is  pleasant  to  reflect  that,  whatever  objection 
may  be  urged  in  some  instances,  the  foreign 
repn-M'wta.ho  nf  the  Uniied  States,  as  a  body, 
are  most  heartily  in  sympathy  with  the  prin- 
ciples  of  the  Government  and  the  spirit  of  the 
They  are  no  longer  the  lackeys  of 
and  the  apologists  of  rebellion.  They 
are  no  longer  afraid  to  assert  that  they  believe 
in  the  great  truths  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence with  which  we  parted  from  Europe ; 
und  they  need  no  longer  blush,  if  they  are  hon- 
orable men,  under  scorching  taunts  at  a  slave- 
holding  republic  of  equal  rights.  A  man  has 
only  to  recall  our  foreign  representatives  of  a 
very  few  years  ago  to  perceive  that  nothing  can 
more  truly  reveal  to  Europe  the  immense  and 
beneficial  change  which  the  war  has  wrought,  in

It  is  with  indignation  as  well  as  regret  that 
the  friends  of  public  decency  and  order,  who 
have  earnestly  supported  the  principles  and 
worked  for  the  success  of  the  dominant  party 
in  the  country  and  in  this  State,  observe  the 
conduct  of  some  who  still  claim  to  belong  to 
that  party,  yet  who  connive  at  such  enormities 
as  the  Railroad  bill  in  the  State  Legislature,  of 

ford  to  have  such  friends.  No  party  can  sur- 
vive the  reputation  which  it  must  infallibly,  al- 

Legislature  in  which  it  controls  the  majority. 
As  we  write  the  Legislature  has  not  adjourned. 
The  Republicans  have,  we  believe,  a  majority 
of  twenty-two  votes  in  the  Assembly,  and  of  one 
vote  in  the  Senate.  If  this  Legislature  shall  be 
stigmatized  as  the  worst  that  ever  assembled  in

fii-sl  ease  taken  up  by  the  Committee,  and  was 
plain  throughout.  The  registry  in  one  of  the 
districts  was  cleai'U  illegal,  and  the  four  Re-

Mr,  Bbgbmah—  so  reported,  and  gave  the  seat 
to  Mr.  Hawkins.  A  Democratic  minority  re- 
port was  offered  that  Mr.  Decker  retain  his 
seat.  Now  we  learn  that  the  chairman  of  the 
Committee,  Mr.  Hegeman.  a  Republican  horn 
Dutchess,  said,  or  very  plainly  implied,  in  his

upon  due  representation  to  Spain,  the  G

would  England  fee)  and  what  would  England 
do?      That  is  n  question  for   Englishmen    hi 
consider.       If   England    should   say   that   the 
United  States  must  first  "fall  confess  that  they 
had  done  wrong  and  apologize,  how  would  the 
United  States  feel  and  what  would  they  do? 

Some  months  ago,  in  speaking  of  this  ques- 
tion   we  said  that  nations  did  not  npologize  in 

of  settling  such  a  difference:  a  congress,  a 
commission  for  chums  and  damages,  or  war. 
Now,  apart  from  the  reeling  between  the  two 
countries  which,  in  the  case  of  our  late  troubles, 
was  heated  to  the  highest  degree,  and  still  re- 
mains dangerously  warm  despite  the  watering- 
pot  of  Mr.  Kevkhdy  Johnson's  eloquence,  there 
is  but  one  pivotal  question  of  international  law

deposed  the  liourbons, 
scmbly  of  the  people  has,  with  virtual  unanim- 
ity, decreed  universal  suffrnge.  We  might  re- 
Jeer  that  we  owe  some  sympathy  and  regard  to 
i  people  which  has  so  quietly  overthrown  a  des- 
pot iMi),  and  which  is  peacefully  establishing  a 
free  popular  government  in  its  place.  But  it 
is  perhaps  useless  to  expect  active  sympathy 
lor  a  freedom  which  dues  not  produce  sugar. 

For  throe  years  Crete,  with  unparalleled 
bravery  and  enormous  sacrifice,  has  fought, 
under  an  organized  government,  with  Turkey, 
the  most  changeless  of  Despotisms.  Thcr- 
mopylrc  is  not  a  more  heroic  name  than  Canea. 
But,  with  the  exception  of  a  very  small  number 
of  persons,  nobody  knows  or  cares  any  thing 
about  Crete.  For  some  months  there  has  been 
trouble  in  Cuba,  but  as  yet  the  whole  move- 
ment is  involved  io  profound  obscurity.    There 

there  has  been  no  serious 
battle  of  which  any  account  has  been  publish- 
ed, and  yet  there  is  a  loud  warmth  of  sym- 
pathy which  all  the  three  heroic  years  and 
deeds  of  Crete  have  not  aroused.  Now,  if 
Cuba  were  not  a  sugar  island,  and  could  not  b( 
mado  profitable  to  its  owner,  should  we  care 
moro  for  Cuban  than  for  Cretan  liberty  and  in 
dependence  ?  And  do  those  who  are  most  per 
sistent  and  vociferous  in  the  cry  of  Cuban  in 


:.i  all  whether  England  a.  knowledged  tin 
Pi  States  as  belligerents  too  soot.,  view 
nn  act  of  friendship  to  the  United  States. 
that  we  think  there  can  be  no  question.  I5ut 
the  remedy  for  that,  if  we  choose  to  press  it,  is 
war.  It  is  folly  to  suppose  that  England  will 
confess  that  she  is  sorry  she  was  not  more 
friendly  in  1861.  An  offense  of  sentiment  can 
not  be  settled  by  a  treaty. 

The  practical  point  of  the  difference  is  this  : 
whether  ocean- bell  ig.  ictiey  can  be  properly  con- 
ceded by  a  neutral  to  contestants  who  have  no 
ships  nor  prize  courts,  and  whose  actual  situa- 
tion, as  Mr.  Summer  says,  is  "without  any  of 
those  conditions  which' are  the  essential  pre- 
requisites to  such  a  concession  ?"  A  ship  sail- 
ing in  the  name  of  a  belligerent  under  such 
circumstances  can  have  no  other  court  than  it.

will  do  the  same.  The  Secretary  of  State  is 
iMiuinati'lv  not  a  Captain  Bobadil,  and  he  is 
nol  likely  to  swagger.  He  will  doubtless  re- 
tlect  that  the  United  Slates  is  a  powerful  na- 
tion, and  that  it-  character  will  be  determined 
by  the  use  of  its  power.  A  bully  among  nation..

strong.  But  who  remember.-,  without  an  hone-t

foK'igu  minister*  of  the  United  States  sixteen 
years  ago,  to  steal  Cuba  from  Spain  for  the 
"strengthening  of  slavery? 

The  Secretary  of  State  may  be  very  sine  that 

once  to  take  offense  rather  than  an  eagerness  to 
perceive  affronts.  If  we  are  to  be  regarded  as 
the  parent  of  really  popular  governments,  we 
are  especially  to  consider  that  Spain  is  at  pres- 
ent remodeling  her  government  in  that  form, 
and  that  the  Spanish  colonial  policy  is  conse- 
quently yet  to  be  developed.  But  whatever, 
that  policy  may  he,  if  it  shall  appear  that  any 
colony  seriously  wishes  to  be  independent,  it  will 
undoubtedly,  as  we  have  said  elsewhere,  be  sure 
of  the  sympathy  of  the  American  people.

of  such  escapes  and  evasions  as  the  British  Gov-

were  sin  rendered  under  protest.  If  it  appears 
that  the  British  authorities  were  unable  to  pro-

next  question  must  be  addressed  to  the  Spanish

THE  RHODE  ISLAND  LINE. 
When  Senator  Spragoe  declared  that  the 
Rhode  Island  soldiers  of  the  First  regiment  in 
the  war  were  cowards,  and  that  their  Colonel, 
now  General  Bubnslde,  ran  into  places  of  safe- 
ty during  the  battle,  he  did  not  expect  that  the 
people  of  the  State,  or  the  survivors  of  the 
regiment,  would  quietly  acquiesce  because  Mr. 
Spragoe  is  a  Rhode  Islander,  and  he  knows 
that  the  State,  though  small,  has  a  fair  fame 
as  precious  to  it  as  if  it  were  an  empire. 

State  the  sentiment  of  indignation  was  univers- 
al, and  it  instantly  took  form  in  an  address,  sign- 
ed by  General  Horatio  Rogers  and  about  thir- 
ty-five hundred  of  the  soldiers  and  citizens  of 
Rhode  Island,  inviting  General  Burnside  to

the  cravat  by  means  of  the  left-hand  screw,  cross- 
bar, and  rods,  while  at  the  same  time  the  point 
and  curved  piece  will  be  thrown  forward  an  equal 
distance.     There  is  a  seat  attached  to  the  post, 
which  is  so  adjusted  that  the  point  of  the  screw 
will  come  against  a  particular  portion  of  the  spine.

is  recorded  of  a"Chinese  murderer  asking  for  and

the  courts  is  usually  death  by  garrote  vil.  By 
the  old  laws  if  a  nobleman  is  to  be  executed  the 
sentence  must  be  by  garrote  noble.  The  only 
difference  is,  that  in  the  first  case  the  platform  is 
not  sheltered  or  its  boards  covered,  while  the  no- 
bleman can  demand  to  have  a  roof  over  him  and 
his  feet  rest  on  a  carpet.  There  is  but  one  gar-

anyplace  it  is  sent  under  an  e-eort  of  soldier^  to-

The  Hon.  Andrew  G.  Cur-

the  President  and  confirmed  by 
the  Senate  as  Minister  to  Russia, 
was  born  at  Bellcfonte,  Pennsvl-

was  a  rich  iron  manufacturer  in 
Centre  County.  Mr.  Clrtin  was 
educated  at  an  academy  at  Mil-

in  1863.  During  the  war  he  ex-

It  was  a  wild  night,  dripping  wet,  with  great 
rushes  of  wind  from  the  westward — the  middle 
of  a  wild  spring — when  Rebecca  began  her  night 
watch.  She  set  dim  candles  in  different  rooms, 
and  began  her  walk  up  and  down;  going  from 
her  own  room  along  the  main  passage  at  the 
head  of  the  stairs  toward  her  father's  door,  and 
passing  that  to  the  room  where  her  two  indiffer- 
ent, hiiiie-t  friends  slept  and  snored. 

The  wind  hurled  at  every  window  and  door  in 
the  crazy  old  house;  and,  with  an  ear  tuned  to 
concert-pitch  by  anxiety  ; 
li-tened  for  -oinerliing  urn 
nothing  came. 


the  night  been  silent 
ness  of  that  bouse  to 
sounds,  and  hearing  a 


;tenhig  for  suspicious

Dim,  inexpressible,  causeless  terrors  come,  I 
believe,  on  the  most  prosperous  of  us  when  we 
wake  in  the  night  in  the  dark.  I  know  a  mili- 
tary officer  of  good  repute,  excellent  courage,  re- 
spectable fortune,  and  without  one  solitary  anx- 
iety in  this  world,  who  takes  his  recreation  in 
these  sad,  solitary  hours,  by  thinking  of  death. 
By  putting  to  himself  that  he  must  die  some  time 
or  another,  and  trying  to  make  out  what  the  last, 
horrible  hour  will  he  like.  Rebecca's  fantasies, 
this  night,  were  scarcely  more  reasonable  than  his. 

There  was  very  little  cause  for  fear  of  any 
kind  :  there  was  nothing  of  what  some  call  sen- 
sational about  her  position.  She  was  splendidly 
protected.  Her  father  had  done  a  very  quaint 
thing,  but  she  had  practically  checkmated  nil  con- 
anxiety  ;  and  that  anxiety  became  precordial, 
and  made  her  start  with  inexplicable  terrors  at 
every  sound,  and  in  passing  every  dark  place. 
The' physical  effect  of  th"

people1 


confused  they  will  pick  out  a 
particular  form  of  anxiety,  seldom 
the  right  one.  Rebecca  did  on  this  occasion. 
The  door  behind  Carry's  bed — disused,  and  lock- 
ed and  bolted  for  so  many  years — was  the  point 
she  fixed  on  as  the  most  horrible  and  dangerous 


'  mac   reniciu- 


horror  to  them.  In  very  early  <\;iy~,  a 
<  Rebecca  could  remember,  Curry  used  t 

habit  of  shrieking  out  >uo\b-nlv  in  rh. 
int  some  one  wa-  trying  the  door;   after 


night-gown,  and  leave  Re- 
terror  of  death.  And  now,  on  this, 
e  believed,  supreme  night,  Rebecca. 
with  a  solitary  candle  feebly  lighting  up  the  great 
room,  stood  before  that  door,  and  thought  of 
what  lay  behind  it. 

What  it»-t.t  there,  locked  up  for  twenty  years, 

"  "    "  Carry's  bed?     The  skin  of  her  head  had

his  velveteen  coat,  strangled  himself  with  the

hoot  with  his  right  band.  It  was  impossible,  in 
regarding  this  young  man  in  his  sleep,  to  avoid 
wondering  what  Mrs.  Akin  thought  of  it. 

In  a  similar  way,  when  one  looked  at  Mr. 
Spicer  at  rest,  one  wondered  whether  Mrs. 
Spicer,  in  spite  of  accumulating  wealth  and  good 
position,  did  not  wish  that  there  might  be  a  lew 
alterations  in  trifling  details.  For  Mr.  Spicer, 
though  a  quiet  sleeper,  lay  on  bis  back,  and 
spread  himself  out  in  every  possible  direction, 
snoring  magnificently.  And,  moreover,  he  talked

educated  gentlemen  down  to  the  low  level  of

theorists  or  the  veriest  demagogues  would  op- 
pose a  doctrine  so  obviously  adapted  to  tlio  cir-

to  settle  the  whole  question  of  Free  Trade,  be- 
cause it  appears  that  to  differ  with  the  theories 
of  a  Veteran  is  not  only  to  demonstrate  that 
you  are  an  idiotic  tadpole,  but  that  you  are  a 
mere  quack  and  vulgar  demagogue.  Now  why 
should  anv  body  heed  idiots,  tadpoles,  quacks, 
and  demagogues?  The  Protective  theory  is

ative market,  in  the  face  of  peculiar  circum- 
stances, and  for  many  of  our  other  agricultural 
productions  we  have  been  well  paid.  The  sit- 
uation as  to  cotton  was  carefully  weighed  by 
Southern  planters,  and  they  have  acted  with  un- 
common firmness  and  skill  in  dealing  out  their 
crop.  The  effect  could  scarcely  have  been  ac- 
complished without  extensive  combinations,  by 
means  of  which  they  have  fortunately  secured  to 
themselves  an  amount  of  capital  sufficient  to  go

It  was  quite  true  that  there  was  an  unspoken, 

und  together  by  long  and  firm  friendship,  and 

e  voiiiig  man  and  woman  had  known  each  Oth- 
from  childhood.      The  very  night  after  the 
ipnrture  of  his  sister  for  Europe  Paul  sudden- 
ly sought  out  Sophia  Vining,  and  asked  her  to 

him.  She  consented ;  the  idea  of  refusing, 
n  considering  the  question,  hardly  occurred 
;  and  yet  there  was  something  strange,  de- 
rcekk'ss  in  his  manner,  which  made  her

All  this  occurred  some  half  dozen  years  ago.

earlier  campaigns  of  the  civil  war,  and  had  ren-

alv  and  anachronism  apparently:  and  people  no 
more  sought  for  such  an  explanation  of  Paul's 
conduct  than  thev  would  have  looked  for  a  Si- 
mon Styb.es  on  Murray  Hill,  or  a  Savonarola  in 
Grace  Chmvh,  wherein  I  think  people  are  much 
apt  to  blander;  for  the  one  reality  in  life,  out- 
lasting all  change,  and  unaffected  by  any  climate 
or  condition,  is  luiniuu  passion. 

One  day  there  came  a  letter  from  Edith  Wi-

When  the  letter  was  rend  to  Paul  he  struck 
his  hand  heavily  on  the  table,  and  exclaimed  :

before  he  burst  in  upon  his  astonished  sister  in 
Paris,  and  demanded  of  her  some  clew  to  Emilia. 
Then  for  the  first  time  his  sister  learned  the 
depth  and  power  of  his  love.  But  she  could

Still,  we  did  what  was  usual,  and  sent  a  large

of  only  two  or  three  feet  depth,  that  lay  around

not  tell  you  exactly  what  she  did  want.  She 
kuew,  however,  that  plate-glass  with  gas  behind

terminable delight  and  beauty  of  half  tints.  It 
is  not  true.  She  had  learned  it  from  Mr.  Mor-

she  came  down  stairs  with  Lord  Ducetoy,  of  the

AN  ADMIRABLE  EXAMPLE. 

mark  that  a  worthy  person  by  the  name  of 
James  Fisk,  Jnn.,  had  proved  himself  to  be  a 
gentleman  by  the  ingenious  manner  in  which 
he  caused  Mr.  Samuel  Bowles  to  be  arrested 
and  lodged  in  jail  for  a  night.  It  was  the 
more  ingenious  and  gentlemanly  because  Mr. 
Bowles  was  a  stranger  stopping  at  a  hotel, 
and  because  his  invalid  wife  was  with  him. 
The  law  merely  demanded  bail,  bat  a  gentle- 
man does  not  satisfy  himself  with  the  cold  and 
niggardly  letter  of  the  law,  and  Mr.  Bowles 
passed  the  night  in  jail.  Now  nothing  is  more 
desirable  than   that  a   gentleman  so  studious

Road.  Mr.  B.  Wood  states  that  Miller's  au- 
tomatic coupling,  used  by  the  Erie  and  other 
great  companies,  was  not  used  upon  this  road. 
He  adds  that  the  risk  upon  the  Long  Island 
Road  "was  and  is  aggravated  by  bad  spiking, 
inferior  iron,  deficient  ties,  and  a  scamping  of 
the  work  generally."     Another  correspondent 


lined,  and,  of 


10  New  York  Tims,  had 
something   for   which    Mr.   Fisk  was 

to  bring   a  suit,  wl.ii-li,  it    appear,  by

In  August,  1812,  Mr.  Toupin,  of  Exmouth.  in 
a  sailing  excursion,  mid  »  hen  about  a  mile  south- 
east of  Kxmouth  Bur,  heard  a  sound  like  that  of 
the  -/Koliau  hai-p ;  and  saw,  nt  about  one  bun-

ing the  resplendence  of  sea-water  streaming  down

tute for  a  looking-glass,  we  arrive  nt  once  at  the 
fabulous  history  of  the  marine  maiden  or  mer- 
maid, and  the  appendages  of  her  toilet." 

The  progress  of  zoological  science  has  long 
since  destroyed  the  belief  in  the  existence  of  the 
mermaid.  If  its  upper  structure  be  human,  with 
lungs  resembling  our  own,  how  could  such  a  creat- 
ure live  ind  breathe  at  the  bottom  of  the  sea, 

half  an  hour.     Suppose  it  to  he  of  the  cetaceous 

or  three  minutes  together  without  rising  to  the 
surface  '.o  take  breath  :  and  if  this  were  the  case

to  an  eminent  scientific  society.  Yet,  on  the  22d 
of  June,  1840,  the  first  Secretary  of  the  Ottoman 
Embassy  at  Paris  addressed  a  note  to  the  Acad- 
emy of  Sciences,  stating  that  his  father,  who  was 
in  the  Admiralty  department  at  Constantinople, 


We  base  still  another  recorded  instance— ami 
in  Scotland.  In  the  year  1857,  two  fishermen  on 
ibe  Argylo-hirecniisi  declared  that  when  on  their 
way  to  the  fishing-station,  Locliindalc,  in  a  boat, 
and  when  about  four  miles  southwest  from  the 
village  of  Port  Charlotte,  about  six  o'clock  in  a 
June  evening,  they  distinctly  saw,  at  about  six 
yards' distance,  an  object  in  the  form  of  u  woman, 
with  comely  face  and  fine  hair  hanging  in  ring- 
lets o*cr  the  neck  and  shoulders.  It  was  ahove 
the  surface  of  the  water  gazing  at  the  fishermen 
for  three  or  four  minutes — and  then  vanished  •

As  for  the  doctrines  of  Senator  SrR.vGUE,  t 
o  not  consciously  oppose  them,  because,  aft 
ending  his  speeches,  we  do  not  know  what  tin

'  obliged,  contrary  to  my  nature,  to  antng

■ilL-cr  (irntNilly  demonetized  by  til 
jress  of  February,  18G2,  which  made  Treasury 
lotes  a  legal  tender.  There  are  many  who 
itill  insist  that  our  legal  tenders  should  be 
stated  at  their  depreciation  below  gold— the 
latter  being  treated  as  the  standard— but  they 
Dverlook  the  controlling  force  of  this  act. 

In  the  opinion  delivered  by  Mr.  Chase,  as 
that  of  the  majority  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 

two  kinds  of  legal  tender,  the  one  in  force  be- 
fore the  war,  under  the  acts  which  imparted 
this  function  to  coined  money,  and  the  other 
created  by  the  act  of  February,  1862. 

Until  that  opinion  was  pronounced  in  a  re- 
cent case  the  belief  was  general  throughout  the 
United  States  that  the  old  legal  tender  act  ap- 
plicable to  gold  and  silver  was  superseded  by 
tho  act  of  February,  18C2 ;  but  although  the 
question  before  the  Court  in  that  case  was  sim- 
ply whether  the  act  of  1862  applied  to  a  contract 
made  previously  payable  in  "American  gold 
and  silver  coin,"  and  the  majority  of  the  Court

The  Dit

named  by 

that  body  apparently  for  three  years.  But 
what  is  to  happen  if  the  Cortes  and  its  creat- 
ure, the  Directory,  differ,  is  not  stated.  The 
probable  result  would  be  that  of  the  difference 
between  President  Louis  Napoleon  and  the 
French  Assembly— a  successful  coup  (T£tat  or 
civil  war.  The  Directory  would  disperse  the 
Cortes,  or  the  Cortes  would  overthrow  the  Di- 
rectory. 

Further  debate  will  very  probably  expose  the 
difficulties,  and  indeed  (lie  impracticabilities  of 
an  executive  power  appointed  by  the  Legisla- 
ture, yet  independent  of  it.  If  the  Spaniards

than  one  such  man,  they  will  be  in  constant 

peril  of  division. 

As  yet  it  is  certainly  creditable  to  the  lead- 

ers in  this  remarkable  Spanish  revolution  that 

:hey  have  not  apparently  attempted  any  false 

jlay.     Even  Escalar,  the  ablest  of  the  ex-

butcher  and  the  baker,  the  grocer  and  the  car- 
penter, all  have  equal  reasons  to  rejoice  in  my 
lord's  occupation  of  his  house.  The  back  paths 
to  his  door  echo  with  the  rumbling  of  rustic 
carts ;  the  needy  and  iufirni  creep  to  his  gates  on

awkward  and  ill-directed)  are  more  generally 
given  as  tokens  of  respect  to  the  inferior  side  of 
their  superiors'  persons. 

At  Auricl  Place  no  such  signs  of  life  and  oc-

Mowbrays  left  Auriel  fur  the  Continent,  George

"1  think  we  shall  have  it  all  to  ourselves  here, 
la-s,"  Moore  said,  as  his  eye  fell  on  the  desolate- 
looking  pile  of  buildings  that  stood  before  him. 
A/alea,  aged  four,  sucked  her  thumb  and  stared 
flolemnly  at  a  magpie  that  was  ducking  his  bead

I....  k-groiuid  of  shadows, 

"1  love  'oo,"  she  announced  presently.

The  child  looked  wistfully  at  the  basket  which 
contained  the  viands  that  had  accompanied  the 
travelers  from  Sussex,  and  George  rose  and  at- 
tended to  her  wants,  and  listened  to  her  foolish, 
fond,  child-talk  until  the  forlorn  man  believed 
that  the  love  he  felt  he  was  creating,  and  that 
this  round,  dimpled,  curly-headed  babe  might 
one  day  grow  to  love  and  cherish  for  their  own 
to  now  from  a  purely 
ict  that  makes  young 
Mind  puppies  nestle  their  blunt  noses  in  the  right 
quarter  for  their  mother's  milk. 

The  shadows  deepened  on  tree  and  shrub  out- 
side the  lonely  house;  the  wind  came  sweeping 
over  the  dank  marsh  land,  to  fill  the  mind  with 
ill  omens  with  its  dreary  aiinlessness;  but  George 
had  no  leisure  to  feel  the  ill-lighted  room  dark 
or  dull,  for  Miss  Azalea  had  chosen  that  he 
should  assume  for  her  amusement  the  position 
in  which  a  much  more  distinguished  man  was 
once  detceted  by  Henri  Qnatre.  Moore  was  get- 
ting old,  so  he  felt  rather  stiff  when  at  length 
Azalea  suffered  her  horse  to  rise  from  his  knees. 

"I  tired— I  go  to  bed,"  cried  the  mighty  des- 
pot of  four  years. 

Then  she  essayed  to  kneel,  hut  overbalanced 
herself,  and  subsided  into  a  bundle  at  Moore's 
feet — a  bundle  of  tumbled  lilac  frock,  shapeless 
flaxen  curls,  flushed  cheeks,  and  sleepy  eyes. 
Clasping  her  dimpled  fingers  as  tightly  as  their 
rotundity  -would  permit,  she  looked  up  at  the 
blackened  rafters,  beyond  which  lav  vague  realms 
of  that  beautiful  something  which  she  had  been 
taught  to  address  as  heaven,  and  cooed  out  little 
prayers  for  such  things  as  she  esteemed  dear.

They  moved  away  from  the  tree  together,  and 

as  they  walked  down  the  gravel  path  he  looked 

intently  at  the  only  bit  of  bright  human  life  this 

de-cited  pi  ne  -eeiucd  to  possess. 

A  head  of  fair  curls,  cut  short  like  a  boy's, 
dark  violet  eyes,  a  small  sun-tanned  face,  red 
mouth,  and  slender  form,  white  shoulders  sur-

cotton  dress,  a  torn  pinafore,  bits  of  withered 
(eaves  clinging  to  her  hair,  and  a  tattered  book 

Such  was  the  picture  presented  to  him. 

The  little  girl  walked  silently  by  his  side  :  she

looking  room,  and  cast  down  warm  lights  01

gold-cheeked  apples  heaped  near  the  easten 
wall.  The  faint,  sweet,  smell  of  the  fruit,  tin 
Sutter  of  the  birds  in  the  eaves,  the  warm  gust 
of  air  that  came  in  through  the  broken  panes- 
all  breathed  of  peace  and  wealth ;  not  of  th> 
ucm1i.1i  or  ail.   but  that  of  Nature. 

He  who  sat  watching  little  Azalea  with  such  ; 
wistful  sadness  in  his  gray-blue  eves  had  spent  tin 
previous  day  iu  a  house  "where  the  wealth  of  ar

poured  forth  sweet  scents  from  the  dew-heavy 
m.,es  below.  The  ivy,  ,hick  with  foliage,  threw 
out  hundreds  of  light  green  tendrils  to  clamber 
over  the  darker  mass  of  green  beneath  ;  the  birds 
built  their  nests  in  the  securely-twisted  branches,

where  the  soft  fringes  of  the  woodland  melted 
into  the  vaporous  gloom  of  the  horizon,  a  church 
spire  was  dimly  visible,  and  the  deep  tones  of  its 
bell  began  to  toll  the  hour  of  seven.  The  stran- 
ger drew  nearer  the  window,  and  looked  wistfully

The  old  gardener  turned  pale  at  the  sound  of 
the  voice— at  the  sight  of  the  clear-cut  face. 

"Good  Lord!  is  it  really  you,  Mr.  Francis? 
My  lord,  I  mean.  Oh,  Sir!  what  a  start  you

Then,  with  a  deeper  agitation  in  his  voice,  tho

still  Minder  solutions  of  tlie  mystery — I  need  not 
speak.  All  our  fellow-participators  in  the  de- 
lights of  Mademoiselle  Euphrosiue's  Thursdays 
took  part  in  our  suspense  and  sorrow.    By  their 


jected  to  a  judicial  examination  that  was  any 
thing  but  agreeable.  Fontremoly,  however,  not 
to  be  proved  dead,  how  was  Aleck  to  be  proved 
murderer  ? 

For  several  days  our  quiet  little  apartments  were 
besieged  by  magnificent-looking  gens  d'armes, 
wlio  peered  into  every  comer,  and  almost  took 
ns  all  into  custody  because  we  could  not  manu- 
facture proofs. 

During  this  unhappy  time,  Aleck's  conduct 
was  most  extraordinary.  No  vestige  of  evidence 
marked  hira  as  guilty  of  any  tiling  beyond  the 
shaken  fist  and  the  muttered  threat  in  the  Hois 
de  Boulogne.  There  alike  proofs  and  probability 
came  to  a  stand-still,  since  there  was  nothing  to 
show  that  the  rivals  had  met  again.  But  Aleck's 
attitude  was  willfully,  persistently  that  of  a  con-

there  were  times  when  Krebs  and  myself  trem- 
bled, as  if  indeed  we  were  in  the  presence  of  a 
murderer.  Our  concern,  discomfort,  transient 
mood,  or— to  put  the  thing  into  plain  words- 
suspicion,  however  much  wc  might  try  to  con- 
ceal it,  rilled  him  with  eerie  exultation.  Laying 
hold  on  some  chain  of  circumstantial  evidence, 
finer  than  Ariadne's  thread,  he  would  force  us 
to  follow  him  through  labyrinthine  thickets  of 
guilt  and  darkness  till  we  came  to  the  full  light 
of  the  horrible  truth.  Then  with  a  grim  chuckle 
of  satisfaction— "Don't  you  see  it?"  he  would 
cry,  looking  from  one  to  the  other.  "It  must 
be  I  and  no  other  on  whose  shoulders  the  crime 
of  ['ontreuiulv'j  disappearance  rests." 

For  a  time  our  peaceful  little  mansarde  be- 
came a  very  den  of  discord.  One  moment  Aleck 
turned  upon  us  for  slighting  or  insulting  him; 
the  next,  for  being  too  kind  to  a  wretch  who 
would  bear  the  brand  of  Cain  to  his  dying  day. 

But  here  the  influence  of  Mademoiselle  Eu- 
phrosine's  Thursdays  came  like  balm — healing, 
soothing,  restoring.  The  sisters  really  bewailed 
the  loss  of  their  youngest,  uio-t  gifted,  and  most 
beautiful  guest— for,  as  1  have  before  said,  Fon- 
tremoly bad  the  face  of  a  young  god — moreover, 
they  felt  much  for  the  misery  that  had  befallen 
his  boon  companions.  Accordingly,  we  were 
feted  and  petted  like  convalescent  children  or 
prodigal  sons.  Each  succeeding  Thursday  was 
made,  in  some  sort,  a  surprise  by  means  of  new 
guests  or  new  amusements.  Mademoiselle  Eu- 
phrosine  borrowed  novels  for  us  without  num- 
ber; Mademoiselle  Antoinette  invited  us  to  te'e- 
a-tctc  intellectual  breakfasts.  Under  this  kind- 
h  feminine  influence  Krebs  and  myself  gradually 
recovered  our  spirits,  while  Aleck  recovered  his 


ever  been  gay  and  sad  by  turns — the  one  to-day, 
the  other  to-morrow ;  changeful  as  the  winds 
and  seas,  it  was  always  doubtful  in  which  mood 
we  should  find  her.  Either  she  was  an  incom- 
parable actress,  or  Pontromoly's   disappearance 


the  never-ending  discussions  upon  the  mystery 
without  apparent  flinching.  Had  she  any  heart, 
this  young  .Southerner,  with  her  enchanting  smiles 
and  chameleon  eyes?     Did

lpliance  with  my  poor  friend's  request,  but 
:  with  rebuffs  only.  Tliere-ine  would  lightly 
recatc  the  proffered  service  with  a  smile  or  a 


social  discussion, 

conversation  being

Italian,  "I  i 


lover— yet  you  smile,  you 
I  believe  that  you  are  heartless?  Must  I  believe 
that,  worse  still,  you  are  untrue?  Pardon  me, 
mademoiselle,  if,  as  the  friend  deputed  by  Fon- 
tremoly to  watch  over  you,  I  speak  out  the 
thought  of  my  heart,  knowiug  all  the  while  that 
it  rnii-t  give  you  pain." 

t>he  looked  at  me  with  all  the  pathos  of  her 
sweet  eves,  her  lips  trembled,  her  dimpled  cheeks 
grew  pale  ;  and,  bending  low,  she  whispered  with 


e  von  any  hope?"'  I  asked.

More  of  this  strange  talk  we  held  that  night, 
and  then  I  learned,  for  the  first  time,  how  thor- 
oughly Pontremoly  had  imbued  this  fresh  young 
nature  with  his  fatalistic  notions  and  dreamy 


When  this  mood  of  intensi 

over,  I  looked  np  involuntarily.     The  women 

coquetted,  the  men  flattered,  the  lights  gleamed; 
but  Tlieivsiue  was  no  longer  alone. 

Was  I  dreaming,  or  was  it  indeed  Fontremoly 
who  sal  beside  her,  his  face  intent,  his  .slight  fig- 
ure leaning  forward,  bis  lingers  toying  with  the 


least  we  began  to  look  upon  ii  n- 
inevitable,  and  consequently  to  be  endured. 
Any  thing  like  a  vestige  of  evidence  never  ap- 
pealed. Gradually  the  police  censed  to  grum 
ble,  and  the  public  to  make  inquiry.  A  young 
had  disappeared— an  Italian—

Exactly  a  year  after  the  rueful  day  o; 
we  bad  lost  sight  of  I'ontromoly, 
Euphrosino  gave  a  more  important  Thursday 
than  usual.  In  the  first  place,  the  courtship  of 
twenty  years  seemed  likely  to  come  to  an  end ; 
for,  in  consequence  of  having  received'  a  email 
legacy,  Monsieur  Eagncsse  hud  made  our  hostess 
an  offer  of  marriage;  in  the  second,  our  term  of 
study  was  drawing  to  a  close,  and  before  Made- 
nioisellc-   Euphrosiue  should   have  reopened   her

I  looked  up  in 


spend  togetht 

bouquet  of  exquisite  roses,  which  he  presented 

immediately  on  entering  the  room.     They  were 

hardly  needed  to  heighten  Theresine's  Liveliness 
that  night.  She  no  longer  wore  a  child's  6tufF 
frock,  and  secluded  herself  in  an  obscure  corner 
of  the  room.  Dressed  in  white,  her  golden  hair 
braided  about  her  exquisitely  shaped  bead,  and 
adorned  with  a  wreath  of  blush  roses,  a  trans- 
parent silvery  scarf  falling  over  her  shoulders, 
her  lips,  cheeks,  and  eyes  aglow  with  excite- 
ment— what  wonder  that  we  all  wished  Made- 
inoi-elle  Kuplirosiiie's  Thursdays  but  just  begun  ? 
Doubtle.-s  Theresine's  piquant  beauty  and  naive 
character  had  been  developing  for  I 


,  sipping  tea  and  talking  scandal.  Krebs  and 
:-k  had  been  summoned  to  assist  with  the  tea- 
t  contemplating  every  one  by 


their  last  soire'e,  and  could  not  be  induced  to 

"My  own  idea,"  Mademoiselle  Euphrosine 
said,  lightly,  "is  that  the  child  is  suffering 
from  mat  de  pays,  and,  if  so,  the  sooner  we 
send  her  hack  to  her  parents  in  Italy  the  bet- 
ter, though  it  would  be  a  thousand  pities  to  leave 
oil' cultivating  that  fine  voice  of  hers." 

Must  we,  then,  leave  Paris  without  seeing 
Theresiue  for  the  last  time?  Aleck  recklessly 
threw  up  his  appointment  at  the  eleventh  hour, 
determined  to  have  bis  promised  word  of  adieu. 
Krebs  put  off  his  journey  to  the  Vaterland  for  a 
week  or  two,  gallantly  bent  upon  acting  the  faith- 
ful knight  to  the  last.  I  was  in  no  particular 
hurry  to  get  back  to  England,  and  thus  it  hap-

object  of  the  writ  of  habeas  corjms  is  the  im- 
mediate relief  of  persons  who  may  be  unjustly 
imprisoned.  The  law  demands  that  the  exam- 
ination be  immediate.  If  Judge  Cardozo  was 
so  busy  that  he  could  not  hear  the  case  for  a 
week  why  did  he  persuade  the  other  judges  to 
promise  that  they  would  not  hear  it  ?  We  dis- 
tinctly aver  that  in  these  remarks  we  have  in- 
tended no  contempt  of  Court.  How  could  there 
be  contempt  for  such  administration  of  justice? 
It  can  only  excite  the  profoundest  admiration 
and  iiiHaie  the  utmost  confidence.

than  now.  And  we  can  not  hut  feel  that  the

LOCAL  SELF-GOVERNMENT.

observe  that  some  of  the  Republican  jour- 
s  are  in  favor  of  leaving  the  city  of  New

that  the  Capitol  is  as  corrupt  as  the  City 
Hall.     The  reasoning  of  thb.  hist  party  is,  that

THE  GOLD  SPECULATION. 

tary  of  the  Treasury  would  sell  only  a  million 
of  gold  per  week;  and  that  he  would  apply  the 
proceeds  to  the  purchase  of  Five-Twenties,  a 
speculation  was  set  on  foot  in  Wall  Street  to 
carry  up  the  price  of  gold.  The  policy  of  pur- 
chasing the  Five-Twenties  rather  than  to  pur- 
chase or  pay  off  the  outstanding  three  per  cent. 
certificates  was  viewed  by  Wall  Street,  whether 
justly  or  not,  as  a  decision  against  contraction, 
and  as  rather  favoring  expansion.      The  three

cent,  certificates  been  paid  off  to  the  extent  of 
a  million  a  week  during  this  plethora  of  gold 
in  the  Treasury,  the  speculators  in  gold,  who 
became  purchasers  of  it  simultaneously  with  tho 
promulgation  of  the  Secretary's  views,  would 
have  been  afraid  to  do  so  to  any  great  extent, 
or  at  the  high  price  which  it  reached.  On  the 
20th  May  the  quotations  reached  144$.  This 
was  the  highest  point,  although  it  was  said  that 
sales  were  made  at  145.  The  lowest  point  this 
year  officially  reported  was  about  130,  near  the 
time  of  Mr.  Bodtwell's  advent  into  office. 

Such  violent  fluctuations  have  always  a  very 
damaging  effect.  The  house  of  Schepeler  & 
Co.,  a  firm  of  long  standing  and  large  means — 
composed  of  one  or  more  Russians,  and  once 
connected  with  business  in  Russia — failed  on 
the  I5th  May,  when  gold  was  at  139$,  they 
having  sold  1: 

downward  on  the  20th,  immediately  after  the 
difficulties  of  another  operator  for  a  fall  be- 
came the  subject  of  discussion. 

Some  German  nnd  other  bankers  in  Wall 
Street,  tempted  by  the  high  price  of  gold, 
sold  exchange  largely,  drawn  against  bonds, 
which  bonds  went  by  the  steamer  of  the  22d 
May.     These  bonds  were  sold  in  London  on 

graph,  and  part  of  the  exchange  drawn  against 
them  was  disposed  of  in  like  manner.  Bonds 
are  sold  in  London  deliverable  twice  a  month 
(1st  and  15th,  as  near  as  may  be),  and  they  are 
consequently  sent  for  delivery  accordingly.    The 


bankers  who  deal  largely  in  bonds  keep  them 
there  nnd  here,  and  direct  a  delivery  on  the 
other  side  to  complete  the  sale,  by  telegram, 

The  sale  of  exchange  through  means  of  the 

person  here,  having  funds  in  London,  directs 
bis  banker  or  principal  there  to  transfer  a  given 
sum  to  the  banker  of  the  New  York  purchaser. 
The  party  who  receives  the  transfer  in  England 
notifies  the  New  York  purchaser  of  the  fact, 
and  the  latter  thereupon  pays  the  seller  the 
price  of  tho  exchange  in  gold  or  its  equivalent.

The  break  in  tho  gold  market  on  tho  20th 
and  21st  May  was  due,  in  part,  to  reports  of  a 
change  in  tho  Treasury  p*U«y.  It  was  stated 
in  Wall  Street  that,  instead  of  selling  only  ono 
million  of  gold  per  week,  the  Secretary  intend- 
ed to  sell  two,  nud  that  ho  would  apply  tho 
whole  or  part  of  the  proceeds  to  tho  purchase  of 
tho  three  per  cent,  certificates.  It  appears,  how- 
ever, that  while  (lie  sales  of  gold  nre  increased 


decline  to  correspond  v 


at  a  profit  was  possible.  This  sale  of  bonds  to 
the  extent  of  several  millions,  and  of  exchange 
founded  upon  it,  had  a  powerful  effect  to  lower 
the  price  of  gold  and  to   postpoue  its  ship-

very  evident  that  lawful  money  would  be  de-

The  carriage  stopped  before  a  handsome  por-

to  the  esplanade  wall.  Underneath  she  saw

trickling  down  Ins  face,  stood  in  attitude  of  de- 
fense, facing  Azalea.  She.  with  flushed  cheeks 
and  ruffled  hair,  was  eying  him  wrathfully,  and 
the  glance  she  turned"  on  Miss  Slater  was  so 
menacing  that  that  lady  involuntarily  recoiled 
with  a  vague  impression  that  hell  had  broken 
loose,  and  had  sent  its  imps  to  desecrate  her  or- 
derly apartment.  She  turned  her  appealing  face 
and  clasped  hands  toward  Lord  Orme,  but  that 
gentleman's  eyes  were  riveted  on  Conrad. 

"Good  Heavens,  Sir !"  cried  the  father,  harsh- 
ly, "why  no  you  stick  out  your  elbows  like  that?" 
and  walking  up  swiftly  to  Conrad,  with  a  vicious 
grip  he  (fattened  the  boy's  arms  into  their  right

he  continued,  "at  least  do  it  in  proper  style."

impossible  that  he  could  walk  up  to  the  house 
in  company  with  this  shabby  little  girl.

CHAPTER  IV. 


Loan  Orjie,  ere  he  followed  Azalea  through 
the  doorway,  looked  round  involuntarily  to  see 
whether  any  one  was  observing  the  child's  un- 
seemly appearance. 

For  an  instant  he  saw  nothing  but  the  long 
row  of  houses,  gleaming  white  in  the  morning 
sun,  the  empty  parade,  and  the  flutter  of  the 
sail  which  Azalea  had  previously  noticed.  Re- 
lieved in  his  mind,  he  was  about  to  re-enter  his 
house,  when  a  slight  gust  of  wind  wafted  past 
him  an  almond  scent  of  flowers. 

"Heliotrope,"  said  Lord  Orme,  inhaling  its 
fragrance  with  satisfaction;  "  how  sweet  it  is! 
that  must  come  from  the  balcony  next  door." 

He  looked  at  the  balcony  in  question,  and

THE  TRUE  SYSTEM  OP  TRADING.- 
CHICKERING  &  SONS. 

Pianos,  as  an  article  of  luxury,  have  always 
been  held  at  fancy  prices— marked  up  to  figures 
which  none  of  the  makers  ever  expected  to  real- 

cnreless  rich  man  gives  a  check  without  • 
tinning  the  price.  .Such  instances  are  remi 
bly  rare,  for  the  great  muss  of  purchuscrs  si 


first  place,  gets  the  piano  at  the  lowest  price  of- 
fered by  other  dealers,  with  perhaps  a  piano  stool 
nnd  cover  thrown  in,  to  clinch  the  bargain.  This 
is  the  stylo  of  trade  upon  the  fancy-price  system. 
It  is  a  system  of  diamond  cut  diamond ;  one  in 
which  the-  most  persistent  or  the  most  unscrupu- 
lous will  win ;  one  where  the  buyer  believes  that 
the  seller  is  going  to  cheat  him,  if  possible,  and 
so  is  over  on  tho  defensive.  A  system,  in  short, 
which  blunts  tho  fine  sense  of  honor  and  self-re- 
spect both  in  the  buyer  and  the  seller,  and  de- 
btruyB  all  confidence  between  them. 

The  fancy  system  has  always  existed  to  a  cer- 
tain extent,  but  uow  that  pianos  are  no  longer 
luxuries,  but  necessities,  a  now  and  less  wealthy 
class  is  brought  upon  tho  scene,  and  the  "knock- 
ing-down"  system  has  increased  iu  vigor  and 
magnitude,   from  tho  fact  that,  while  formally 

the  less  rich  now  it  is  a  matter  of  necessity. 
CmcKEiciNO  &  Sonb,  who  have  for  nearly  fif- 


:ious  of  the  growing 
and  demoralizing  inltm.':icc  ui  the  system,  determ- 
ined to  abandou  it,  and  to  adopt  iu  its  place 
the  one-price  system— a  price  that  should  be  in- 
variable, that  should  givo  assurance  to  the  pub- 
lic that  a  CuicttEKiNo  Piano  eau  be  purchased 
at  prices  uniform  with  those  of  Boston  and  New 
V.-ii,  ■  ■.   I'.. itl  .1,  I,  i  In    i  ■..  Si.  Louis,  Chailes-

and  tho  sumo  scale  of  reduction  in  all 
j  tho  Concert 


These  piano3  ore  no  cheaper  to  the  makers 
than  before,  nor  arc  they  to  those  purchasers 
who  persist  until  they  have  beateu  every  thing 
down  to  tho  very  lowest  point ;  but  they  are  to 
the  fair  customer,  who,  believing  that  reputable 
houses  are  honest,  used  to  pay  what  they  were 

the  discount-bargainers,  without  the  trouble  of 
asking  for  it.  There  is  no  variation  in  the  prices 
named  ;  but  just  60  much  money  as  is  marked 
in  the  price-list  can  buy  just  such  a  piano  as  is 


affects  favorably  all  classes  throughout  the  coun- 
try ;  and  there  can  not  bo  a  doubt  but  that

to  believe  England  did  not  show  to  us  in  the  be- 
ginning of  it.  Indeed,  we  have  little  doubt 
that  England  — by  ^liieh  term  we  now  mean 
the  British  Government— bad  virtually  decided 
to  yield  the  substantial  point  at  issue  by  agree- 
ing to  arbitration.  We  said  so  in  the  remarks 
wo  made  at  the  time  that  the  treaty  was  pub- 
lished. Nor  can  there  be  much  question  that 
if  Mr.  Adams  had  remained  in  London  the 
whole  subject  would  now  be  upon  the  high-road 
to  satisfactory  adjustment.  The  practical  per- 
plexity throughout  upon  our  part  has  been  the 
unwillingness  to  accept  any  adjustment  which 
did  not  satisfy  the  sense  of  outrage.  We  were 
perhaps  hardly  in  a  condition  to  see  that  such 
adjustment  was  impossible.     It  presupposed

and  the  confirmation  of  the 
luc  ...struclions  of  the  State  Depart- 
To  wlneli  Lord  Ci  a  lies  uun  ill  turn  would 
,01'linctillv  rejoin,  "And  such  were  Mr. 
i„.v  Johnson's,  but  bis  work  was  scom- 
cpudiated." 

e  point  of  Ihc  diuVnllv  ami  lite  method 
orm  seem  to  be  cqanll;  plain.  The  Sen- 
as negotiation.  It  originated  with  the  Sec- 
retary of  State,  who  had  the  President's  as- 
sent. But  the  Senate,  if  it  knew  of  the  trans- 
action at  all,  knew  nothing  of  its  conditioned 
progress.  In  other  words,  the  agent  of  idle 
acted  under  instructions  from  another 
y.  It  was  the  same  in  the  English  case. 
Certainly  the  Senate  was  not  bound  to  approve 
le  acts  of  its  agent  acting  under  such  iristruc- 
ons;  but  certainly,  hereafter,  other  Govern- 
,ents,  taught  by  this  experience,  will  properly 
■quire  to  know' whether  they  are  dealing  with

capable,  and  the  country  saw  its  emotion,  how-

vords  But  when  the  English  editors  read  the 
,peech,  instead  of  .printing  it|  they  made  ab- 
itracts  merely,  and  gave  first  to  the  English 
public  not  wiiat  Mr.  StrsiNiiR  had  said,  hut 
what  they  thought  ofAvhat  he  had  said.  It

Io  leave  the  negotiation  to  the  Administrate 
about  coming  into  power  as  really  reprcsentir 
the  will  of  the  people.  But  the  President  oi 
ilav  nominates  to  the  Senate  an  Embassador 
Minister  to  England  whom  the  Senate  unai 

has  already  rejected  other  candidates— tile  Se 
ate  which  will  pass  upon  all  the  nominations 
General  Grant,   and  whose  unanimous  voi 


ally  decide.      It  is  perfectly  v 
he  new  Minister  is  to  undel 

apposed   that  the  Senate   wo 


md  no'ineiins  whatever  of  knowing  the  policy 
)r  even  the  wishes  of  the  principal. 

If  we  content  ourselves  with  saying  that  cv- 
;ry  foreign  G, 


cred  but  as  the  peremptory  demand  of  a  peo- 
ple. '  The  result  was  inevitable.  England  in- 
stantly said,  "  If  we  have  done  wrong  we  will 
atone  for  it ;  but  we  will  not  say,  upou  a  ques- 
tion of  precedent  and  law,  to  be  determined  by 
nn  investigation  of  facts,  that  we  are  guilty. 
That  we  will  banc  I"  arbitration." 

Now  we  think,  as  we  said  last  week,  that  the 
,  ondiiet  of  England  n  a<  not  friendly.  The  de- 
lay«t>f  twelve  days,  for  instance,  in  procuring 
the  advice  of  counsel  by  Lord  Russell  in  re- 

t  he  dntv  to  arrest  her,  has  never,  it  seems  to  us, 

■• ;.r.„..0rily  explained.     The  comedy  of 

,  stomach-ache  was  not  laughable, 
ess  absurd.  Now,  upon  tins  ven 
delay  the  Whole  question  of  reasonable  precau- 
tion— the  essential  question- will  probably  final- 
ly rest.  If  the  English  Government  chooses  tc 
assert  thatall  reasonable  precautions  were  taken, 
hut  that  it  will  not  insist  upon  the  point  against 
the  judgment  of  a  proper  arbitrator,  does  it 
leave  us  any  really  honorable  ground  of  com- 
plaint as  to  that  point?  We  might  indeed  pre 
fer  a  more  magnanimous  course.  We  might 
wish  that  England  would  waive  the  strict  point 
of  legality  under  international  precedent,  and, 
i„  the  interests  of  good-fellowship  and  civilisa- 
tion, proffer  us  restitution.  We  believe  that

STATE  OF  TRADE. 


Middling  was  selling  on  the  28th  as  follows : 
Upland  Florida,  28i  ;  Mobile,  29  ;  New  Or- 
leans 29*  ;  Texas,  29i.  According  to  the  es- 
timates of  sagacious  merchants  cloths  were  sell- 
ing here  at  an  average  of  from  5  to  7  per  cent, 
below  what  the  price  of  middlings  would  justi- 
fy.    At  Manchester  and  Preston  the  dispropor- 

produce  serious  effects.  It  is  difficult  always 
for  outsiders  to  ascertain  with  precision  the  ex- 

the  complaints  made  of  loss  are  true,  but  when 
attended  with  such  events  as  have  lately  oc- 
curred both  abroad  and  in  this  country,  all 
doubt  is  at  an  end.  The  stoppage  of  mills  has 
occurred  on  both  sides   of  the  water  for  this 


r  England,  where  the  closing  of  the  mills  is 
ttended  with  the  actual  loss  of  skilled  work- 
nen ;  whereas  here  they  go  into  other  oceupa- 
ions,  and  return,  if  need  be,  to  their  usual  la- 
,ors  on  a  revival  of  industry.  At  Preston  both 
pinners  and  weavers  contipue  to  emigrate;  but 
ilthough  they  are  sent  to  Canada  as  part  of  the 
lolicy  to  build  up  colonies  out  of  the  population 
vhich  England  is  obliged  annually  to  lose,  they 
emain  there  only  long  enough  to  be  able  to  pay 
heir  way  to  the  coveted  asylum.  Canada  looks 
m  amazed  at  the  stream  of  population,  old  and 
ncwli  imported,  which  steadily  flows  into  our 
connlrv.  The  future  is  announced  in  ibis  lend 
ency,  which  will  go  on  depopulating  the  Old 
World  and  aggrandizing  the  New,  until  we  be- 
come the  acknowledged  seat  of  superior  in- 
dustry, wealth,  raid  power. 

The  manufac|ircrs  there  and  here  were  pro- 
ducing more  goods  than  were  being  consumed, 
and  there  could  be  no  doubt  of  the  ultimate  ef- 
fect of  over-production.  We  have  followed  the 
English  in  stopping  many  looms 

At  Newburyport  the  Bartlet,  the  James,  and 
the  Ocean  steam  mills,  all  very  large  and  en- 
gaged in  the  production  of  bleached  goods,  have 
stopped  work.  The  Atlantic  mills,  at  Lawrence, 
which  manufacture  sheetings,  one  of  the  larg- 
est establishments,  has  reduced  its  work  one- 

'-       The    Jackson    mills,  of   Nashua,  New 

ishire,  and  the  Appleton,  of  Lowell,  which 

ce  drills  and  sheetings,  have  diminished 

.......  manufacture  of  sheetings  one-third.     The

CANDOR  WANTED. 

We  can  certainly  never  arrive  at  a  fair  settle- 
ment of  any  international  difficulty  if  we  per- 
mit ourselves  to  indulge  in  the  kind  of  objurga- 
tion which  the  London  correspondent  of  the 
Tribune  bestows  upon  Senator  Grimes,  and 
which  appears  in  so  many  of  the  comments 
upon  the  recent  address  of  Goldwin  Smith. 

Senator  Grimes  being  in  London,  and  read- 
ing the  daily  articles  of  the  Loudon  press  upon 
Mr.  SuMSBR'a  speech  and  the  Alabama  diffi- 
culty, very  properly  writes  to  the  Times  a  letter 
in  which  he  calmly  states  the  facts  of  the  case 
as  he  understands  them.  Mr.  Grimes  says, 
first,  that  there  was  never  less  disposition  in 
this  country  to  go  to  war  with  England  than 
now;  that  the  Senate  merely  agreed  to  the 
conclusion  of  Mr.  Sumner's  speech  that  the 
treaty  should  not  be  ratified,  not  to  the  arguments 
by  which  he  reached  that  conclusion  ;  that  Mr. 
Sumner  himself  asked  that  the  injunction  of 
secrecy  from  the  debate  be  removed  ;  that  the 
conduct  of  Members  of  the  British  Legation, 
coupled  with  the  proposed  method  of  arbitra- 
tion, gave  at  least  an  appearance  of  probable 
unfairness  in  the  decisions ;  that  the  desire  of 
the  annexation  of  Canada  is  by  no  means  uni- 
versal in  the  United  States,  and  that  there  is 
no  party  that  would  think  for  a  moment  of  any 
resort  to  force  ;  that  Mr.  MOTLEY  will  bring  in- 
structions of  the  most  pacific  character  only ; 
and,  to  quote  the  words  of  Senator  Grimes: 

"That  En ■rlu mi's  offense  in  the  eyes  of  Americans

against  England  is  clearly  and  admirably  stat- 
ed—the  only  claim  which  can  be  the  practicable 
basis  of  a  treaty— the  London  correspondent  of 
the  Tribune  attacks  Mr.  Grimes  in  these  words: 
"  Mr.  Senator  Grimes  is  at  his  old  work  ol 
giving  aid  and  comfort  to  the  enemy,  the  encmj 
being  in  this  case  not  Mr.  Andrew  Johnson 
but  the  party  in  England  that  hates  America.' 
Is  every  body  who  does  not  insist  upon  mora!

Is  nothing  but  a  stout  and  persistent  as:

and  he  arrived  at  the  capital  with  his  proposi- 
tion that  his  church  also  should  have  its  share- 
The  Legislature  paused  and  asked,  "Why  not 
the  Methodists,  the  Presbyterians,  the  Baptists, 
l he  Gnigregatioualists  also;  and  if  these  also, 
then  what?"  And  the  Legislature  very  wisely 
ilc  lined  to  adopt  so  foolish  a  measure.

Left  to  her  own  resources,  Azalea  sat  on  the 
rug  and  pondered  over  her  situation.  She  was 
very  dull,  and  her  arm  pained  her;  people  were 
unkind  to  her,  and  instead  of  being  happier  than 
she  was  at  Auriel,  she  was  not  nearly  su  happy. 

Down  stairs  she  could  hear  the  clatter  of  the 
dinner-things  and  the  hurried  movements  of 
the  servants  pacing  to  and  fro  the  passages; 
then  she  thought  she  detected  the  patter  of  the 
children's  feet  outside ;  she  felt  her  way  to  the 
door,  and,  peeping  out,  saw  Rosa  and  Amelia 
radiant  in  shiny  curls,  in  pnre-hued  muslins,  and 
glistening  sashes,  walking  slowly  up  the  stairs,

she  crouched  down  on  the  floor  and  went  to 
sleep.  She  awoke  to  find  the  fire  dead  in  the 
grate,  Topaz  shivering  on  her  lap,  and  herself 
stiff  and  cold.  She  arose  from  the  floor  with 
some  difficulty.      It  was  an  unusually  loud  burst

a  large  bay-window  ;  then  she  opened  it  gently,

Miss  Slater  made  a  dive  at  Azalea,  catching 
hold  of  her  by  the  arm,  and  with  outward  ami- 
ability but  suppressed  fury,  urged  her  instant 
departure.  It  was  a  mistaken  move.  Azalea 
was  seared,  sleepy,  and  non-combative  when  she

ways hesitated  whenever  he  had  a  chance. 

His  eye  and  his  lip  formed  "no,"  when  a 
passer-by  accidentally  pushed  against  Azalea's 
injured  "arm,  causing"  her  to  utter  a  sharp  cry 
of  pain.  In  an  instant  a  shielding  arm  was

and  she  had  never  looked  twice  at  the  prostrate

Talking  and  laughing,  Lady  Diana  moved  on 
with  a  grace  all  her  own,  enveloping  nearly  the

At  that  instant  Lord  Orme  leaned  over  Azalea 
and  made  a  gentle  effort  to  lift  her  away;  but 
Lady  Diana  tightened  her  fair  arm  round  the 
child's  waist,  and  looked  at  both  the  opposite 
faces.  A  sudden  suspicion  lit  up  her  gray  eves 
and  dispelled  the  affectation  of  languor.  Al- 
most as  quick  as  her  glance  was  the  certainty 
of  her  conviction.

"I  shall  think  very  highly  of  the  judgment,  of

"You  are  looking  tired,"  Lady  Diana  said, 
suddenly  addressing  Azalea.  "Poor little  thing, 
I  must  not  keep  you  up  too  late!" 

Azalea  looked  up  to  object  that  she  was  not

her  that  her  afiseia  e  was  desired.

look  behind  her,  as  though  entreating  some

could   very  early   become   steeped 

in  the  sentiment  of  poesy. 

The  round  of  common  duties  on 
his  father's  farm  was  varied  by  the 
winter's  school,  hy  reading,  and, 
as  he  grew  apace,  by  two  years  at 
the  "Academy."  He  read  every 
thing  he  could"  lay  his  hands  upon. 
The  delight  and  avidity  with  which 
he  read  his  first  copy  of  Burns 
(which  poet,  by-the-way,  he  re- 
sembles in  his  hearty  independence 
and  keen  observance  of  nature)  are 
beautifully  depicted  in  a  poem,  oft 
repeated  in  the  English  and  Amer- 
ican press,  entitled,  "Burns:  On 
Receiving  a  Sprig  of  Heather  in 
Blossom." 

At  eighteen  he  taught  the  Com- 
mon  School   in  "West  Amesbmy. 


Boston,  whose  aim  was  protection 
to  Anierican  industry.  In  1830

As  early  as  183G  he  had  published  "Mogg 
Megone,"  a  spirited  poem  of  considerable  leogth, 
in  which  he  depicts  the  scenery  of  Maine,  and 
paints  the  Indian,  not  in  the  false  and  romantic 
colors  of  Cooper,  and  some  other  writers  both 
of  prose  and  verse,  but  as  the  brute,  wild  red- 
man  of  the  forest  really  is.  ' '  The  Bridal  of 
Pennecook"  appeared  at  a  later  period,  and  con- 
tains some  of  Wmittier's  most  vivid  descrip- 
tions of  nature.  In  1836  he  became  the  very 
active  Secretary  of  the  American  Anti-Slavery 
Society,  and  also  edited  the  Pennsylvania  Free-

ELEPHANT8. 

Fon  ages  mankind  hnvo  been  familiar  with 
the  general  character  nl  [he  elephant,  the  largest 
animal  on  the  globe  ;  hut  travelers  and  natural- 
ists are  very  frequently  discovering  new  facts  in 
regard  to  their  habits,  instincts,  and  sagacity, 
which  give  now  interest  to  the  character  of  that 
monster.  It  is  now  settled- that  there  are  several 
distinct  species.     Tho-.-  m  equatorial  Africa  are 


fanning  and  keeping  <>lV  annoying  insects.  The 
others  have compaiatiwh  small  ears,  less  service- 
able as  protecting  instruments.  The  African 
elephant  rarely  has  the  two  tusks  of  the  same 
size  or  length.  Hanging  about  in  herds,  they 
unite  in  nctivcly  uprooting  large  trees  for  the 
sake  of  the  tender  leaves  they  know  are  only  at 
the  top.  While  some  pry  and  lift  with  the  right 
tusk  under  a  resisting  root,  others  push  against 
the  trunk  and  thus  heave  it  over.  They  are 
right  handed,  like  all  quadrupeds,  as  well  as 
man.  The  right  tusk,  in  consequence  of  being 
used  most,  is  not  only  stouter  and  larger  than 
tho  left,  but  often  broken  off  at  the  point  from 
misadventure  in  their  foraging  operations.  For- 
merly, when  large  numiiers  of  elephants  were 
trained  for  war  hi  the  neighborhood  of  Culcutta, 
long  rows  of  huge  fellows  having  heavy  iron 
chains  thirty  feet  long  fastened  to  a  collar,  at 
word  of  command  would  suddenly  wind  them 
round  their  trunks  and  at  bidding  throw  them 
hori/.ontally  with  prodigious  force,  sweeping

sented in  n  House  of  Representatives,  in  which 
resides  the  legislative  power,  and  which  is  elect- 
ed by  nil  citizens  over  twenty  years  of  age.  The 
executive  power  is  lodged  in  a  President  elected 
by  the  House  of  Representatives  and  responsi- 
ble to  it.  The  House  also  elects  a  General-in- 
Chief.  The  President  names  four  Secretaries 
of  Departments  with  the  approval  of  the  House. 
There  will  be  provision  for  the  Judiciary  De- 
partment by-and-by  ;  and  meanwhile  the  right 
of  petition,  freedom  of  worship,  liberty  of  speech 
and  of  the  press,  are  declared  inalienable  rights.

personal  ambition  of  the  late  President,  whose 
adherents  consisted  principally  of  the  Whisky 
Ring,  and  of  those  who  derived  profit  from  tho 
irregular  action  of  the  Government.  The  ca- 
lamity to  the  United  States  of  being  obliged' to 
pass  through  nearly  four  years  of  maladminis- 
tration is  now  over;  but  although  the  influence 
of  it  will  be  felt  through  years,  the  Government

dinnry  expenses  of  the  Government,  and  to  the 
purchase  of  gold  if  required  for  the  payment  of 
interest.  The  creditors  of  the  United  States, 
holding  the  debt  created  under  the  act  of  Feb- 
ruary 25,  1862,  and  subsequently,  have  an  un- 
doubted right  to  call  for  the  application  to  the 
Sinking  Fund  of  such  proportion  of  the  Cus- 
toms receipts  as  the  Act  of  February,  1862, 
specifics.      The  public  faith   is  |.le<i.-.t   I,,  [I,,-. 

tiie  inducements  for  taking  the  bonds. 

The  first  matter  to  be  determined  in  con- 
sidering the  question  is,  whether  any  surplus 
of  gold  over  and  above  what  will  be  required  to 
pay  the  interest  for  the  fiscal  year  actually  ex- 
ists. Mr.  Bodtwell  has  been  in  office  only 
three  months,  during  which  time  no  consider- 
able part  of  the  present  accumulation  of  gold 
could  have  arisen.  If  the  revenue  from  im- 
ports continues  on  the  scale  of  present  receipts, 
it  may  fairly  be  assumed  that  at  least  the  one  per 
cent,  of  the  debt  (say  $26,000,000)  which  the 
Act  authorizes,  to  be  set  apart  in  each  year  may 
safely  be  done,  but  a  diminution  of  these  re- 
ceipts is  not  improbable— a  fact  which  should  be 
carefully  weighed. 

In  constituting  the  fund,  the  question  wheth- 
er to  use  the  Five-Twenties  or  the  Three  per 
cent,  certificates  is  not  free  from  difficulty.  If 
the  Three  per  cent,  certificates  are  used  it  would 
amount,  in  effect  to  contraction,  as  they  consti- 
tute part  of  the  reserve  of  banks,  and  they  would 
need  to  be  replaced  with  legal  tenders ;  which 
contraction  Mr.  Boutwell  supposes  would  vio- 
late the  spirit  of  the  Act  of  January  25,  1868, 
which  suspends  the  operation  of  the  law  to  an-

and  vigor,  hut  also  to  apply  them  with  al

The  question 
Sinking  Fund  does  not  now  arise,  ns  tho  Act  of 
February  2n,  1862,  remains  unrepealed  nnd  un- 
altered.    There  is  great  force  in  what  General

Congress  is  impolitic  it  should  nevertheless  be 
rigidly  enforced,  for  then  the  proper  remedy 
would  ho  applied.      Mr.  Bootwkt.l  finds  the

Treasury  was  weak.  The  amount  of  those  cer- 
tificates outstanding  on  the  1st  of  May  last  was 
$53,240,000,  upon  which  there  was  then  ac- 
crued interest  amounting  to  $931,700.      The 

principal  had  been  reduced  Sluo.OUU  uij  to  ihc 
1st  of  June. 


to  meet  the  pressing  necessities  of  National 
banks.  The  happening  of  a  similar  contingency 
under  a  tight  money  market  is  not  improbable. 
If  the  Treasury  were  weak  those  certificates 
winch  are  payable  on  demand  would  be  pre- 
sented without  doubt.  The  strength  of  the 
Treasury  now  is  an  inducement  for  allowing 

It  has  been  suggested  thatkMx.  Boutwell 
intends  not  only  to  apply  the  one  per  cent,  of 
the  whole  debt  to  the  Sinking  Fund,  but  also 
whatMr.  M'Cullocii  omitted.  This  is  scarcely 
possible,  as  six  fiscal  years  have  already  elapsed 
since  the  first  of  July,  1862,  and  the  amount 
would  be  larger  than  could  be  spared,  especially 
as  the  Three  per  cent,  certificates  might  be  de- 
manded. 

There  is  still  another  embarrassment  in  form- 
ing the  Sinking  Fund  out  of  the  Three  per  cent, 
certificates.  They  are  payable  on  demand ;  and

them  would  doubtless  be  presented,  not  enough 
to  produce  severe  contraction,  but  yet  possibly 
enough  to  save  himself  from  the  dilemma  which

We  havo  said  elsewhere,  in  speaking  ot  the 

English  question,  that  it  is  perhaps  fortunuto 

that  Congress  is   not  in  session.     If  it  were

obvious  difficulty  with  any  such 
t,  while  it  demands  cool  nnd  care- 
it  is  likely  to  be  caught  up  In 
party  necessity  and  made  a  partisan  cry.  If, 
for  instance,  there  were  those  who  thought  ir 
necessary  to  do  something  to  restore  the  pres- 
tige of  an  administration  nf  their  own  party,  and 
who  saw  an  unsettled  foreign  question  upon 
which  a  very  strong  public  feeling  existed,  no- 
thing is  more  probable  than  that  they  woidd  in- 
stantly make  it  a  mere  party  r

such  n  cry  justly  there  was  necessary  a  knowl 


We  observe  a  report  that  certain  Pennsyl- 
vania politicians  propose  to  "  make  capital"  out 
of  the  Alabama  question,  and  to  impose  it  as 
one  of  the  "  leading  issues"  upon  tho  country  at 
the  next  election.  "Those,"  says  the  report, 
"who  are  directing  the  movement  feel  posi- 
tive that  it  will  prove  successful  in  materially 
strengthening  the  Republican  party,  and  pro- 
duce a  good  moral  effect."  It  is  further  stated 
that  Mr.  Cdutin,  the  new  Minister  to  Russia, 
Mr.  Fojiney,  of  the  Washington  Chronicle,  and 

mem.  An  effort  is  also  to  be  made  to  persuade 
the  Pennsylvania  Republican  Convention  to 
'•take  high  ground"  upon  the  subject. 

In  this  country  the  people  are  the  govern- 
ment, and  the  policy  ot  the  administration  will 
naturally  reflect  the  will  of  the  people.  But 
the  people  are  morally  bound  not  to  insist  upon 
any  policy  which  they  have  not  carefully  con- 
sidered, and  the  fundamental  facts  of  whirh 
they  do  not  fully  understand.  Those  who  in 
the  press  or  from  the  platform,  or  in  other  wavs, 
help  to  influence  public  opinion,  arc  equally 
bound  to  the  candid  consideration  of  every  sub- 

thc  English  question,  or  any  foreign  question 
whatever,  merely  as  a  means  of  whipping  in  the 

dispute  or  to  the  honor  of  the  country,  is  j

EUROPEAN  VINEYARDS. 

The  most  interesting  work  ever  issued  on  the 
vineyards  of  Europe  has  just  been  published  by 
Messrsr  Harper  &  Brothers.  It  is  from  the 
pen  of  Mr.  William  J.  Flagg,  a  son-in-law  of  the 
late  Nicholas  Longworth  of  Cincinnati.  "I 
think,"  he  says  in  his  preface,  "my  work  will 
be  found,  in  some  degree,  interesting  to  the  gen- 
eral reader,  if  lie  have  curiosity,  which  Hume 
defines  as  'the  love  of  learning.'     I  think,  too, 

as  we'll,  inasmuch  as  it  relates  to  his  daily  bev- 
erages, and  their  effects  on  his  healtn  and  happi- 
ness. But  my  chief  aim  has  been  to  convey  in- 
formation, both  practical  and  theoretical,  bear- 
ing on  the  important  mutter  of  wine-gruwiug  in 
America."  In  connection  with  this,  bis  prin- 
cipal object,  the  author  especially  calls  attention 
to  the  following  points;

"no  other  American  has  made  near  so  thorough 

a  pilgrimage  among  the  vineyards  of  Europe 

and  certainly  not  among  those  of  France."

the  rest  of  the  journey  must  be  made  by  carriage 
or  on  hoiM-baek  over  mountain  roads. 

Now  it  so  happened  that  Tom  Gibbs,  who  w 
a  good  deal  of  a  chatter-box  and  a  little  of  a 
mischief-maker,  met  Gerald  Barrymorc  half  an 
hour  after  the  conversation  just  reported,  and 
told  him,  with  perhaps  some  flourish  and  cmbel- 

Fcnianism  and  the  dangers  of  Irish'  rebellion. 
Bnrrymorc's  check  reddened,  fie  was,  like  most 
Irishmen,  rather  sensitive  of  ridicule;  and,  more- 
over, although  a  loyal  British  subject,  he  had 
been  descanting  somewhat  largely  at  the  dinner 
in  the  Temple  Hall  on  the  formidable  nature  of 
the  Fenian  movement.  So  he  felt  a  good  deal 
annovedfor  the  moment  at  what  Gibbs  told  him  : 
but  his  manly  good-nature  presently  returned, 
find  he  resolved  to  think  no  more  about  it.  I'n-

not  blush.     Nevertheless  she  quietly  slipped  her 

ivork,  and  for  a  few  minutes  knitted  diligently. 
Finding  that  no  further  invasion  of  her  privacy 
ivns  attempted,  she  resumed  her  old  attitude,  and 
did  not  rouse  lior  companion  from  the  trance  of 
happiness  in  which  her  touch  and  look  enthralled 
him  until  she  heard  the  clock  strike  one.  Then,

bring  my  lunch.  And  oh,  Annette,  you  can

Lady  1  )iana  enjoyed  her  luncheon  to-day.  The 
chops  were  tender,  the  pastry  light.  "It  melts 
in  your  mouth,"  she  said,  referring  to  the  crust 
of  the  tart.  Then  she  thought  of  her  visitor,  with

She  sighed  a  little,  and  then  wen

tory, excepting  that  the  son  and

She  put  down  the  book,  and  as  she  did  so  a 
page  fluttered  back,  and  she  caught  sight  of  her 
own  name.  A  cloud  pas?ed  over  her  face  as 
recognized  the  familiar  entry:  "  Merton, 
Hon.  Steuart,  born  18—,  second  son  of  the  late 
Lord  Carlton  ;  married  the  Lndv  Diana  Tartan, 
only   daughter  of  the   late   Karl   of  Plaidshire. 


sure,  to  have  put  in  an  appearance  or  have  lieen 
heard  of  before  now— fifteen  years— of  course  it's 
certain.  It's  only  the  pleasant  people  who  stay 
away  so  long.  Milliners'  bills,  country  cousins, 
insolvent  brothers,  and  disagreeable  husbands 
are  not  to  be  so  easily  got  rid  of." 

"Nor  boy  lovers  cither,"  she  added,  with  a 
smile,  as  the  sight  of  the  broken  flowers  brought 

"I  wonder  what  he  is  doing  now;  thinking 
of  me,  no  doubt."  So  saying  Lady  Diana  curl- 
ed herself  round  comfortably  on  the  sofa  and 
fixed  her  gaze  on  a  buzzing  blue-bottle  until  the 
fly  seemed  the  whirring  ghost  of  a  fly,  as  her 
cys  clu-ed  in  sleep. 

As  for  Thurstan  Mowbray,  he  was  sitting  on 
a  mound  of  shingle,  the  sun  heating  fiercely  on 
his  head,  the  foam  splashing  to  his  feet,  and  be 


ing  tide,  and  wondering  how  it  was  the  waves 
appeared  to  be  so  exultantly,  so  madly  glad,  and 
the  wind  so  ineffably  sweet;  how  it  was  that 
the  elements  seemed  filled  with  dim,  mysterious 
hints  of  happiness.  In  one  instant  he  drew  in 
all  earth's  gladness  with  his  breath,  and  swore 
that  life  and  love  were  immortality;  in  another 


In   a  word,  he   was   four-and- twenty,  and

He  lent  her  a  sovereign  of  his  own  money  on 

a  post-office  order  as  soon  as  she  got  home. 

"  Perhaps  you  had  better  give  me  some  ac- 
knowledgment, though,"  he  added,  looking  at 
her  suspiciously  as  she  put  the  money  in  her 
pocket,  "  in  case  any  thing  happened  to  you,  you

said.  "  I  am  holding  your  hand  tight.  I  shall

On  one  of  these  restless  September  nights  the 
packet  from  Boulogne  to  Folkestone  only  carried 
two  passengers  who  were  not  in  a  state  either  of 
incipient  miseiy  or  utter  collapse.  One  of  those 
exceptions  was  the  captain  of  a  merchant  vessel, 
and  he  viewed  the  sufferings  of  his  fellow-passen- 
gers with  a  benign  contempt  which  would  have

He  was  a  bluff  hearty  man,  and  trod  the  heav-

to  the  wind,  and  altogether  treated  the  elements 
as  old  friends  should  be  treated,  with  cordial 
case  and  l-mhnmic.  He  cast  many  a  look  at  his 
rival  in  self-possession,  expecting  every  moment

"  With  pleasure,  Sir." 

The  stare  was  given  to  the  poverty-stricken 
aspect  of  the  speaker — the  courtesy  to  "his  gentle

supposed  to  have  weighed  the  risk.  Of  course, 
if  the  Lords  should  persist,  tho  risk  is  evident 
enough  ;  it  is  a  conflict  between  the  Peers  and 
Commons,   in   which,   equally    of  course,  tho 

fate  of  the  monarchy  itself  would  be  involved. 

There  is  probably  no  sagacious  thinker  in 
England  who  does  nut  feel  that  the  House  of

sition  in  the  caucus  of  the  Lords,  the  Eakl  of 
Harrowby  gave  notice  of  a  motion  to  postpone 
the  reading  of  the  Disestablishment  bill  for  six 
months.  This  looks  as  if  the  matter  were  to 
be  seriously  pressed  ;  and  Lord  Deriiy,  the  late 
Tory  leader  and  Prime  Minister,  at  the  informal 
meeting  seriously  urged  the  rejection  of  the  bill. 
It  would  seem  that  the  Lords  can  not  be  so  dull 
as  to  invite  a  struggle  in  which  they  must  in- 
evitably be  worsted,  if  experience  had  not  shown 
how  utterly  stupid  an  aristocracy  is.     It  is  only

He  speaks  of  "legislative  legerdemain,"  and 
of  "tho  recklessly  partisan  or  ignorant  influ- 
ences which  were  brought  to  bear  against  city 
authorities  by  rural  legislators."  But  the  spir- 
it of  the  Message  is  best  determined  by  the 
question  which  tl

That  the  Message  is  wholly 
of  the  tax  eaters  instead  of  the 
of  misgovernment  instead  of  good  government, 
will  readily  appear  from  the  contrast  which  the 
acts  of  tho  various  commissions  present  with 
those  of  the  local  boards  and  officials. 

We  can  point  with  just  pride  to  Central  Park 
for  good  management.  No  complaint  is  made 
of  corruption  there,  none  even  of  extravagance, 
and  every  citizen  feels,  what  can  not  be  said 
of  other  expendi 


The  Park  is  laid  out

officials  down  to  the  lowest  grade.  The  sale 
of  the  grass  for  private  benefit  constituted  the 
motive  for  not  gratifying  the  public  taste  with 
grounds  in  high  order. 

As  to  the  Board  of  Health,  every  good  citi- 
zen knows  that  it  is  managed  with  judgment, 
economy,  and  integrity.  If  its  powers  were 
devolved  on  officials  responsible  to  a  majority 
of  city  voters,  the  tendency  to  uncleanness  which 


from  the  Croton  Ri<

The  city  of  New  York  is  a  part  of  the  pol 
ical  machinery  of  the  Slate,  through  which  t 
State  carries  into  effect  its  public  powers. 
is  the  gate  through  which  a  vast  emigration  c

of  life,  but  who  did  not  falter  in  sympathy,  not 
to  be  counted  in  the  England  of  to-day?  As 
Mr.  M'Caktby  says,  there  were  more  people 
in  the  city  of  New  York  who  sympathized 
with  Slavery  than  could  be  found  from  John 
O'Groat's  House  to  Land's  End  ;  and  certainly 
nowhere  was  our  cause  presented  more  boldly, 
more  brilliantly,  or  more  conclusively  than  by 
the  men  whom  Mr.  M'Carthy  named,  and  by 
the  London  journal  of  which  he  was  an  editor 
during  the  war.

But  it  is  only  just  to  Mr.  Stephens  to  say  that 

been  a  Union  man  except  in  the  old  Southern 
sense.  He  has  never  had  the  least  faith  in  the 
American  doctrine  of  liberty.  He  was  as  heartya 
rebel  as  Mr.  Toombs,  but  his  policy  differed  radi- 
cally from  that  of  the  di.miinant  secession  leaders. 
In  1858,  when  Mr.  Stephens  retired  from 
Congress,  he  made  a  speech  at  Milledgeville  in 
whicli  he  stated  the  reasons  of  his  retirement. 
They  were  substantially  that  the  victory  of  the 
South— that  is,  of  slavery—was  secure.  It  had 
been  decided  by  the  Supreme  Court  that  slaves 
could  be  carried  into  the  Territories  and  held 
there  as  property.  In  other  words,  slavery  was 
the  national  law,  and  liberty  a  mere  local  pro-

by  the  alienation  of  Italy,  and  of  all  those  at

We  learn  from  Georgia  that  our  Southern 
brethren  are  much  interested  in  the  chances 
of  a  war  with  England.  The  tripartite  treaty 
has  been  heard  of  in  that  part  of  the  country, 
and  a  contest  with  England,  France,  and  Spain 
is,  as  we  are  informed,  regarded  as  "  a  big 
job."  The  proper  commercial  class,  therefore, 
is  not  favorable  to  the  Chandler  policy.    An-

of  opinion  that  a  foreign  war  would  relax  the 
cruel  hand  of  "the  North"  in  its  relentless 
crushing  of  all  the  rights  of  "the  oppressed, 
peaceable,  and  law-abiding,  yet  chivalric  and 
long-forbearing  South."  Still  another  class,

She  had  known  from  the  first  that  Mr.  Pem- 
broke was  poor ;  that  he  had  nothing  but  his  old 
name,  his  handsome  face,  and  fascinating  man- 
ner, and  a  certain  amount  of  talent  for  drawing. 
which  always  made  his  illustrations  in  demand, 
and  on  the  proceeds  of  which  he  lived.  This 
knowledge  made  her  very  distant  toward  him  at 
first,  and  she  was  utterly  at  a  loss  as  to  what 
had  brought  ubout  the  change, 


well  enough  that  he  meant  to  ask  her  before  lliev 
parted  for   some   pledge  of  constancy,  and  she 

did  not  ask  herself  how  much  she  cared  about 
him,  or  whether  she  was  likely  ever  to  care  as 
much  for  any  one  else.  She  preferred  to  put 
those  points  out  of  sight,  and  consider  onlv  the 
manifest   impossibility  of  nothing  j>tus   nothing

Pembroke's  voice  was  low  and  a  little  hoarse. 
There  was  an  earnestness  in  it  which  compelled

He  stopped  right  in  the  path  where  they  were 
walking,  and  took  both  her  hands  in  his.

he  said,  after  he  had  read  the  story  in  her  eyes.

Somehow  Miss  Haversham  bail  succeeded  al- 

longed  to  hear  him 
say  once  how  well  lie  loved  her,  though  that  was 
the  very  thing  she  had  prevented  him  from  say- 
ing. She  was  too  proud  a  woman,  however,  to 
make  any  steps  backward ;  besides,  she  under- 
stood perfectly  that  she  had  done  the  only  wise 
thing.  So  she  joined  in  his  converse  upon  in-

On  the  way  home  he  gathered  a  handful  of

"Perhaps,  then,  I  shall  have  the  pleasure  of

She  laughed  and  shook  her  head,  as  she  ran 
up  the  steps  with  the  flowers  in  her  hand ;  but, 
once  in  her  own  room,  she  felt  no  inclination  to 
laugh.  Something  sadder  than  tears  was  in  her 
heart.  She  felt  as  if  in  some  strange  way  hope

held  the  withered  sprays  of  golden-rod,  the  fan- 
ciful crown,  which  had  been  his  last  gift  to  her. 
Summer  came  round  again.  Lucy  Haversham 
had  grown  strangely  restless,  and  she  understood

Mrs.  Gore  and  her  daughters  were  not  hand-

ing in  the  mother's  face  long  ago,  but  she  was  as 
lifeless  and  proper  now  as  a  lay  figure  hung  with 
cacheinires,  and  glittering  at  proper  hours  with 
diamonds.  Miss  Gore  and  Miss  Margaret  were 
like  their  brother — like  him  in  pride  and  in  dig-

They  were  not  of  Lucy  Haversham's  kind.

Toward  noon  we  got  so  tired,  and  our  eyes  ached 

so  much  with  staring  after  our  game  through  the 

glare  of  an  African   noon,  that  we  agreed  we 

would  sit  down  and  rest  on  one  of  the  least  arid 

patches  of  grass  we  could  find.     We  sat  there  a 

long  time,  till  we  fell  asleep.     Suddenly  I  felt  a 

sharp  pain  in  my  foot,  and  woke  up  to  see  that 

'Wake  up,'  I  cried  to  Derwent,  who  was  lying 
like  a  log  a  few  paces  off ;  '  I'm  hurt  by  one  of 
their  d— d  assagais.'  Derwent  made  no  an- 
swer. I  shook  him,  and  then— well,  my  friend 
could  not  speak  to  me  any  more,  for  one  of  those 
devilish  spears  was  piercing  him  through  his 
heart.     I  had  hardly  time  to  realize  what  had

my  body.  He  disregarded  my  signals,  and  gal- 
loped up  to  me  immediately,  pulling  out  a  couple 
of  revolvers  as  he  drew 'near.  'Go  back!'  I 
said.  'What's  the  good  of  letting  them  have 
us  both?  ride  to  the  fort  for  your  life,  and  send 
some  men  to  bring  back  what's  left  of  ns.' 
'They'd  have  your  lives  before  I  got  there,'  he 
said,  ceolly.  '  Is  he  of  any  good  ?'  (pointing  to 
Derwent).  I  shook  my  head.  '  Then,'  he  sug- 
gested, 'let's  divide  his  arms.'  Quick  as  the 
word  be  plucked  Derwent's  pistols  out  of  his 
belt.  'Go  back,'  I  said,  sullenly.  'You  can 
do  no  good  here.'  All  his  answer  was  to  ask 
for  a  pencil.  'Do  you  want  to  make  a  book  on 
the  event?'  I  asked,  with  a  dismal  attempt  at 
a  jest.  '  If  so,  you  had  better  back  the  dark 
horse.'  He  tore  a  slip  of  paper  from  his  pocket- 
book,  and  fastened  it  to  his  pony's  bridle;  then 
he  turned  its  head  toward  home,  and  gave  it  a 
cut  over  the  quarter.  '  Go  home ! '  he  cried,  aud 
off  the  pony  galloped.  A  flight  of  assagais 
trembled  through  the  air  and  fell  in  showers 
round  the  retreating  pony;  fortunately  he  es- 
caped untouched.  Well,  well,  well — I'll  make 
a  long  story  abort.  My  unknown  friend  stood 
by  me.  We  kept  the  beggars  at  bay  for  some 
time,  and  managed  to  thin  them  not  a  Utile. 
But  it  wouldn't  do.  We  were  outnumbered.  I

suppori  to  the  delicately  rounded  arm  of  the  Pa- 
rian Venus  which  stood  on  the  shelf  underneath 
the  book-shelves.  Douglas  could  find  nothing 
but  little  green  pyramids  of  Rujf's  t'lutde  to  the 
Turf,  heaped  over  the  more  solid  shapes  of 
Spoitur's  Sjiortim/  Tour,  Hundley  Cross,  Manunl

an  odd  volume  of  The  Crescent  and  the  Cross. 

Douglas  turned  from  these  to  look  at  a  highly-

open  case  on  an  adjacent  table.  It  was  a  por-

forced  her  to  accompany  hira  by  blows,  ending 
by  knocking  her  down  and  carrving  her  oil', 
Sir  George  Grey,  writing  in  1841  of  the  North- 
woman  to  give  no  encouragement  to  her  admir- 
ers, many  plots  are  always  laid  to  carry  her  off, 
and  in  the  ciicounlois  "hirh  result  1'nnn  llicse 
uhe  is  almost  certain  to  receive  some  violent  in- 
jury, for  each  of  the  combatants  orders  her  to 
follow  him,  and  in  the  event  of  her  refusing 
throws  n  spear  at  her.  The  early  life  of  a  young 
woman  at  all  celebrated  for  beauty  is  generally 
one  continued  series  of  captivity  to  dill'eient  mas- 
ters, of  ghastly  wounds,  of  wanderings  in  strange 
families,  of  rapid  flights,  of  bad  treatment  from 
other  females,  among  whom  she  is  brought  a 
stranger  by  her  captor ;  and  rarely  do  you  see 
a  form  of  unusual  grace  and  elegance  but  it 
is  marked  and  scarred  by  the  furrows  of  old 


fancy,  being  carried  off  successively  to  distant 
and 'more  distant  points." 

*'  Courtship,  as  the  precursor  of  marriage,  is  un- 
known among  them.     When  a  young  warrior  is 

one  by  giving  in  exchange  for  her  a  sister  or 
some  other  female  relative  of  his  own;  but  if 
there  should  happen  to  be  no  eligible  damsel 
disengaged  in  the  tribe  to  which  ha  belongs, 
then  he  hovers  around  the  encampment  of  some 
other  blacks  until  he  gets  an  opportunity  of 
seizing  one  of  their  cubras,  whom  perhaps  lie 
hns  seen  and  admired  when  attending  one  of 
the  grand  corroborries.  His  mode  of  paying 
his  addresses  is  simple  and  efficacious.      With  a

the  spear  slowly  round,  some  of  her  hair  speed- 
ily becomes  entangled  with  it ;  then,  with  a  sud-

as  her  eyes  open  she  feels  the  sharp  point  of  an- 
other weapon  pressed  against  her  thront.  She

of  the  Secretary's  present  course,  and  .Demo-

tuxntion  and  revenue  swindling,  without  pro- 
posing any  system  of  improvement,  or  any

power.  Neither  party,  as  such,  is  a  Protective 
01  Free-Trade  party. 

If  the  Republican  party  were  to  hold  a  con-

country  upon  the  return  of  peace ;  upon  equal 
suffrage ;  upon  the  long  roll  of  illustrious  and

of  delaying  and  embittering  reconstruc-

LOOKING  AT  HOME. 

If  it  is  desirable  to  have  neutrality  laws,  as 
the  United  States  have  always  contended,  it  is 
desirable  that  they  should  be  executed.  And 
if  laws  are  bad,  as  the  President  sagaciously 
said  in  his  inaugural  address,  there  is  no  surer 
means  of  procuring  their  repeal  than  to  execute 
them  stringently, 

We  have  been  lately  engaged  in  this  country 
in  a  somewhat  sharp  debate  with  England,  in 
which  we  charge  the  loose  execution  of  the 

against  us;  as  showing,  in  fact,  an  unfriendly 

overthrown.  Is  it  not  desirable,  therefore,  as 
good  policy  and  for  consistency,  to  say  no  more, 
that  our  conduct  shall  show  our  complaint  to  be 
at  least  sincere  ?  If  an  expedition  fitted  out  in 
England  against  the  United  States,  in  defiance 
of  the  neutrality  laws,  is,  as  Mr.  Sumner  asserts, 
virtually  an  act  of  war  against  a  country  with 
which  England  is  at  peace,  is  such  an  expedi- 
tion any  less  an  act  of  war  if  it  is  not  British, 
but  American ;  not  fitted  out  in  Liverpool,  but 
in  New  York;  and  not  against  the  United 
States,  but  against  Spain  ?  Yet  we  read  in  the 
ZW&tnft,  which  is  very  emphatic  upon  the  Brit- 
ish offense,  that  the  execution  of  the  neutrality 
laws  of  the  United  States  merely  gives  "great 
delight  to  that  small  but  malignant  party"  which 
is  opposed  to  the  liberation  of  Cuba.     And 


the  Cuban  cause  loscMiaught  in  syinpatln 
spirit  by  the  check  which  it  has  been  dec 
proper  to  put  upon  its  agents  here  in  recogn 
international  law."

the  rights  of  belligerei 
proclamation  have  issue 

would  have  sailed  from  English  ports  under 
letters  of  marque.  Very  well:  they  would 
have  sailed  under  a  *lag  not  acknowledged, 
and  would  have  been  mere  pirates.  More- 
over, in  1856,  Great  Britain,  as  a  member  of 
the  Congress  of  Paris,  proposed  to  us  to  abolish 
privateering.  Before  the  proclamation  issued 
we  had  professed  our  willingness  to  accede  to 
that  declaration,  and  the  offer  failed  because 
Great  Britain  wished  to  except  the  actual  situ- 


houed  a  disposition  w  hirh  rai?C'supi>:suti)j 
gains!  a  vigilant  ub-e  nance  of  neutrality. 
Mr.  Seward,  who  has  been  blamed  foi 

lavery  to  the  war,  was  at  least  very  empl 

pprehension  was  that  England  would  recofi 
lie  Confederacy  ;  and  in  one  of  his  earliest 
atches  to  Mr.  Adams,  No.  10,  dated  on  tho 
f  May,  1861,  before  the  news  of  the  pn 
tatiou  had  reached  this  country,  Mr.  Sew 


when  he  arrived  was  that  the  rebellion  would 
probably  succeed.  That  the  proclamation  was 
issued  to  help  it  is  certainly  not  evident.  But 
that  it  was  issued  with  a  conviction  upon  the 
part  of  the  Government  of  the  probable  success 
of  the  rebellion  can  hardly  be  denied.  Add  to 
this  the  facts  of  the  escape  of  the  Alabama, 
facts  so  notorious,  so  indisputable,  so  shame- 
ful that  Earl  Russell  himself  declared  that 
thev escape  was  "a  scandal  and  a  reproach;" 
and  we  do  not  see  why  the  British  Government 
i  should  not  frankly  say  to  Mr.  Motley  :  "  We 
waive  the  exact  legal  points,  and  we  accept  the 
responsibility  of  the  escape  of  the  Alabama 
through  the  negligence  of  our  agents."  Such 
a  hearty  overture  could  not  be  misunderstood. 
Nobody  believes  that  Englishmen  are  coward- 
ly; and  such  an  act  would  prove  them  to  be 

ment  the  intelligent  friendship  of  the  two  coun- 
tries than  twenty  volumes  of  diplomatic  cor-

There  is,  however,  a  want  of  spirit  on  the 
ide  as  well  ot  those  who  operate  for  a  fall  as 
f  those  who  operate  for  a  rise  in  the  gold

below  mil  imports. 
which  confuses  Wall  Street  and

governed  in  the  sale  of  this  year's  crop  has  been 
f.vtremely  sagacious  on  the  part  of  thoBe  most 
deserving  of  advantage— its  lately  unfortunate 


folly.  The  Mail  says  of  him  that  he  told  a 
friend  he  never  finished  a  sentence  without  a 
profound  feeling  that  it  was  only  partially  true. 
It  is  a  quality  of  many  of  the  finest  natures. 
Louis  Blanc  remarks  it  in  Gladstone.  But 
it  produces  infirmity  of  purpose  which  is  incom- 
patible with  leadership,  both  by  preventing  en- 
tire self-confidence  and  by  begetting  distrust,  in 
others.     Consequently  it  was  said  of  Mr.  Kay-

was  uncompromising  in  his  support  of  tho  Un- 
ion. "Through  Baltimoro  or  over  it,"  wo 
heard  him  say  on  the  20th  of  April,  18G1,  in  a 
public  speech.  Ho  wroto  the  Baltimoro  reso- 
lutions of  18G4,  and  was  made  Chairman  of  the 
Republican  National  Committee.  But  tho  old 
despondency  occasionally  mastered  him,  and 
he  sometimes  doubted  the  result  of  the  election. 
Mr.  Lincoln  and  Mr.  Raymond  were  mutually 
attractive.  The  sweet  inflexibility  of  tho  ono 
was  gratified  by  tho  cheerful  good  sonso  of  tho 
other:  and  Mr.  Raymond  'a  only  book  is  tho 
"  Life  •>[  Lincoln." 

Long  before  this  time  his  genius  as  a  jour- 
nalist was  fully  developed  and  acknowledged. 
Mr.  Gkkeley,  himself  an  amazing  worker,  has 
recorded  his  admiration  of  Mr.  Raymond's  in- 
dustry; and  while  ho  was  still  connected  with 
Mr.  Greeley  in  the  New  Yorker  and  Tribune,

Mr.  Raymond's  opinion  is

anuary,  1854,  the  month  following  tho  fire  in

very  commonplace,  though,  as  she  told  it,  and — 
well,  I  crushed  the  five-dollar  bill  into  her  little

all  pio-ped  of  ever  being  repaid. 

Iwas  anxious  to  find  a  broker's  office,  liowev-

described  by  "my  uncle"  was  eminently  respect- 
able, and  fronted  on  the  busiest  part  of  Broad-

that  was  any  evidence  of  its  character,  nothing

"Month!  Melting-pot!"  I  almost  shouted. 
"  I  don't  know  any  thing  about  a  month.  Here's 
my  ticket—  every  pawnbroker  in  the  city  gives  a 
year!" 

And  I  whipped  out  my  envelope,  and  tore  from 
it  the  evidence  of  mv  property  and  the  loan  there- 
on. In  fact  I  myself  read  it  for  the  first  time, 
while  De  Roos  responded, 

"  Keep  cool,  my  boy.  I'm  not  a  pawnbroker. 
I  thought  you  understood  these  tilings.     Read  it 

I  did  ;  and,  surely  enough,  it  was  by  no  means 
a  pawn-ticket,  nor  was  there  on  it  any  mention 
of  any  loan  on  interest.  It  was  simply  an  agree- 
ment to  sell  to  me,  on  the  day  which  had  just 
expired,  a  watch  whose  number  and  description 
I  knew  only  too  well,  at  a  price  specified,  and 
which  was  nearer  ninety  dollars  than  seventy-five. 

For  a  moment  I  was  fairly  furious,  and  even 
uttered  vague  threats  of  vengeance  ;  but  De  Roos 
never  lost  bis  equanimity. 

"Keep  cool,  my  boy.     I'm  sorry,  and  all  that

should  think,  if  guided  by  our  consciousness

of  the  impression  on  the  eye  after  the  flash  itself 
had  ceased.  If  the  room  be  made  perfectly  dark, 
and  if  the  spectators  all  raise  their  arms  and 
wave  their  hands  to  and  fro  as  quickly  as  they 
can  the  flash  will  display  the  position  of  the 


in  the  position  in  which  the  flash  finds  it.  It  is 
in  contemplation  to  oxhibit  the  same  effect  in  a 
more  complete  way  by  affixing  a  picture  to  a  re- 
volving disk.  "When  the  disk  revolves  so  rapidly 
that  no  outlines  of  the  picture  can  be  distinguished 
by  means  of  any  ordinary  light,  they  will  be  per- 
fectly seen  in  a  darkened  room  by  the  light  of 
the  flash.  It  lasts  so  short  a  time  that  the  re- 
volving disk  does  not  change  its  position  in  the

Then  she  looked  up  at  Lord  Orme's  house, 
which  was  visible  from  where  the  two  stood.

nvs  of  crystal ;  there  must  be  a  garden  all 

1  it,  and  ponds  in  the  garden,  and  in  the 

ponds,  minnows.     If  you  can  do  it,  I'll  give  you 

,-  best  thanks;  but  if  you  can't  I'll  cut  your 

ad  off.     Now  he  off  with  you,  and  good-night ; 

"  Ah  !  the  old  wretch  I"  thought  Prince  John ; 
see  what  a  plan  he  has  bit  upon !"  and  he  went 
o  the  room  which  they  had  given  him  in  the 
hue,  and  tat  down  very  dismally,  not  knowing 


Prince  John  did  so;   but  instead  of  the 
.  in  floated  Princess  Mary. 
'  Why,  Prince  John,  what  are  you  looking  so 
vc-  about  T  asked  she. 

'  It's  not  mi)  fault  if  I'm  grave," said  he;  "do 
i  see  what  ii  piece  of  work  your  father  has  set 
?  And  what  is  more,  if  I  can't  do  it,  he's 
ng  to  cut  my  head  off!" 
'Don't  put  yourself  out  about  that,  my  dear 
"  •'  a  young  lady;  "ju>l  go  Asleep, 
all  right.  All  you 
T  early,  and  give  a 


quite  torg.it  what  bad  befallen  him. 

Now  it  chanced  one  day  that  I'rince  ,' 
while  out  hunting,  lost  his  way,  nnd  at  last  lunnu 
himself  in  a  circle  of  gloomy-looking  pines,  in  the 
midst  of  which  stood  a  vast  lime-tree,  with  a  huge, 
broad  trunk,  down  the  middle  of  which  ran  an 
immensB  cleft.  As  the  prince  stood  gazing,  out 
of  this  cleft  came  creeping  a. strange-luoking.  uglv 
old  man,  with  a  bright  green  beard,  and  eyes 
greener  still. 

"Good-morning,  Prince  John,"  said  the  old 
man  ;   "  I  have  already  been  waiting  a  long  time 

"And  who  are  you?"  asked  the  prince,  very 
much  astonished. 

'■You'll    lind  out   before  long,"  answeid 

him  my  compliments,  and  tell  him  that  it  is  high 


ami    -lit    di.ivn 


"Come,"  said  he,  "the  old  scare- 
in  there  he  in  pointing  ht.r  out  ?"  Then 
ed  die  priiK-t.--  again,  and  said,  "Just

Princess  Mary. 


The  prince  stepped  forward,  and  passed  by 
them  the  first  time  ;  a  curious  promenade,  upon

mough,  though  he  could  only  just  see  it.  He 
jointed  to  the  beauty  with  the  fly,  and  said, 
'This  is  she — Princess  Mary!" 


with  a  braid,  without  stn  ring  from  die  spot.      11 
you  can't  do  it,  off  comes  your  head ! " 

The  prince  went  back  to  his  room  more  dismal 
than  ever,  but  Princess  Mary  was  already  there, 
and  inquired  the  cause  of  his  trouble.  "  Cause 
enough,"  he  replied;  "your  father  has  devised 
a  new  piece  of  work  for  me— I'm  to  stitch  a  pair 
of  boots  with  a  braid.  But  am  /a  cobbler, 
pray  ?  I  nm  a  king's  son,  and  would  rather  die 
than  go  stitching  boot*  for  him!" 


Prince  John  thought  this  a  very  good  idea, 

ami  agreed  at  once. 

"We  must  (ly  instantly,"  said  the  princess; 
and  leading  Prince  John  out  of  the  room  she 
locked  the  door,  and  flung  the  key  ever  so  far 
off.  Then,  taking  the  prince  by  both  hands, 
she  rose  up  in  the  air  with  him,  and  they  found 
themselves  beside  the  same  lake  whence  they 
had  descended  into  the  Underground  Kingdom. 
I'rince  John's  horse  was  straying  about  the 
meadow ;  and  as  soon  as  it  saw  him  it  began  to 
prance  and  neigh,  and  came  galloping  up  to  him. 
The  prince  wasted  little  time  in  thinking,  but 
leaped  on  his  horse,  set  the  young  lady  behind 
him.  ami   ueni  off  at  full  gnllop. 

Meanwhile,  at  the  appointed  hour,  the  king 
sent  to  call  Prince  John.  The  servants  found 
his  door  locked;  and  when  they  tapped  at  it,  a 
voice  like  the  prince's  answered  from  within, 
' '  I'm  coming  directly. "  They  went  to  tell  the 
king,  and  he  waited  and  waited-  ' 
lie  sent  again,  und  again  there  w: 
swer  ;  but  still  the  prince  did  not 
last  the  king  got  angry,  and  bade 
out  by  force.  The  sen-ants  broke 
and  found  nobody  within  ;  so  the; 
the  king  that  Prince  John  was' 
found.  The  king  was  so  much  j 
news  that  he  all  but  died  of  vesat 
and  pursm 
,b:.U   he  t 


i  drag  him 


'Quick,

the  princess  said,  softly,  "I  hear  a  trampling." 
The  prince  leaped  down,  put  his  ear  to  the 
ground,  and  cried,  "  Yes,  here  they  come,  and 
close  after  us!"  "Then  there's  no  time  to  be 
lost, "  quoth  she ;  and  forthwith  she  turned  her- 
self into  a  river,  Prince  John  into  a  bridge,  and 
the  horse  into  a  raven ;  and  beyond  the  river 
the  highway  split  into  three  roads.  The  king's 
arks,  making  sure 
"    "  Ige  they 

road  split  in  three.  There  was  no- 
thing for  it  but  to  ride  back  and  tell  the  king  of 
their  ill  success.  The  king  flew  into  a  worse 
rage  than  before.  "Donkeys!"  roared  he, 
"don't  you  see  that  they  were  the  bridge  and 
the  river  ?  How  was  it  that  you  didn't  find  that 
out?  Off  with  you— and  bring  him  back,  do 
you  hear?"     So  the  pursuers  started  again. 

"I  hear  a  trampling,"  whispered  the  princess ; 
and  Prince  John,  after  listening  a  moment,  re- 
plied as  before,  "Yes,  here  they  are  close  upon 
us  1"  Instantly  the  pair  vanished,  horse  and  all ; 
and  in  place  of  them  appeared  a  dense  forest, 
through  which  ran  roads  and  paths  innumern- 

it  were,  the  figure  of  a  horse  carrying  two  riders. 
The  king's  men-reached  the  wood,  saw  (as  they 
thought)  the  two  runaways,  and  made  all  speed 


such  thing, 
and  found  th 
derground  Kingdom,  in  the  very  place  whence 

thing  had  disappeared — horse,  riders,  thick  wood, 

The  pursuers  returned  empty-handed;  and 
the  king,  when  he  heard  what  had  happened, 
went  into  a  greater  passion  than  ever.  "I'll 
give  it  to  you,  you  lubbers!"  screeched  he. 
"My  horse,  quick!  I'll  go  after  him  myself 
and  see  whether  be  can  give  me  the  slip!"  So 
the  Underground  King  himself  started  in  pur- 


'  Have  you  seen  any  < 


"To  be  sure,"  answered  the  hermit;    "just 

ing  by,  both  upon  one  horse.  They  came  into 
my  cave  to  rest,  and  when  they  went  away  told 
me  to  swear  I  hadn't  seen  them  in  case  I  hap- 
pened to  fall  in  with  you." 

"Well,  there's  nothing  to  be  done,"  said  the 
Underground  King,  seeing  that  by  this  time 
Prince  John  was  fairly  out  of  his  reach ;  ' '  my 
daughter  may  marry  him  if  she  likes.  There's 
no  denying  it,  he's  a  fine  lad  of  a  prince."  And 
he  turned  his  horse's  head,  and  rode  home  again. 

In  the  mean  time  Prince  John  and  Princess 
Mary,  having  no  longer  any  pursuit  to  fear,  went 
quietly  on  their  way  to  the  country  of  Tsar  Be- 
rendi,  where  they  were  received  by  the  king  and 
queen  with  such  joy  as  neither  had  ever  felt  be- 
fore. There  was  no  time  lost  in  deliberation ; 
first  came  a  grand  feast,  and  after  the  feast  a 
wedding.  Prince  John  married  the  lovely  Prin- 
cess Mary,  and  they  lived  thenceforward  happily 
and  prosperously.  Prince  John  helped  his  fa- 
ther to  govern  the  kingdom.  Every  thing  went 
smoothly  and  well — and  that  is  the  end  of  the 

FACTS  FOR  THE  LADIES. 

I  have  one  of  the  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Sew- 
ing Machines,  which  has  been  in  constant  use 
for  the  past  fifteen  (16)  years.  It  has  never  been 
repaired,  and  to-day  is  in  perfect  order,  and  is 
equal  for  all  kinds  of  work  to  any  machine  I  have 
yet  seen.  It  has  been  used  in  making  heavy 
clothing,  besides  doing  all  manner  of  family  sew- 
ing, and  I  think  it  gets  better  every  day.

THE  PARTIES.

nominated,  and  the  manifesto  of  each  Con- 
ntion  is  mainly  a  resolution  to  hoid  fast  by 
a  statu  quo.  Upon  the  pending  Fifteenth 
mendment  the  Ohio  and  Pennsylvania  Con- 
ntions  are  very  emphatic,  urging  its  ratiliea- 
>n;  while  Maine  having  already  ratified  has 
fBciently  expressed  its  opinion.  The  other 
solutions  are  very  much  what  we  suggested 
st  week  they  were  likely  to  be.  The  Maine

is  not  a  fair  representative  of  the  party,  and  is 
therefore  not  trusted,  except  with  great  reser- 
vation. However  clever  and  sparkling  its 
treatment  of  political  questions  may  be,  it  is 
felt  not  to  express  the  average  feeling  of  the 
party.  But  its  position  is  stronger  than  it  was 
a  year  ago.  Then  it  advocated  a  concession 
of  certain  settled  points  and  the  nomination  of 
Mr.  Chase,  with  an  anti-repndiating  platform. 
In  every  point  its  advice  was  disregarded  by 
the  steady  old  managers,  and  the  World  had 
its  revenge  by  seriously  urging  the  party  to 
change  front  at  the  very  moment  of  the  final 
charge.  That  advice,  of  course,  recoiled  upon 
it  in  the  curses  of  its  party  leaders  and  associ- 
ates ;  but  as  the  rout  of  its  party  at  the  polls  was 
prodigious,  despite  of  the  diligent  frauds  in  this 
State,  by  which  its  candidate  for  Governor  was 
apparently  elected,  the  HWr/ had  clearly  gained 
the  advantage  of  the  position  of  I-told-you-so. 
Notwithstanding  this,  however,  the  World 
this  year  goes  no  further  than  it  went  a  year 
ago.     It  ad'        ■

prive  the  net/rots  of  a  franchise  which  is  found  to 
be  not  incompatible  with  Democratic  ascend- 
ency." It  then  proceeds  to  speak  of  recruiting 
hosts  of  former  Republicans.  But  is  there  any 
Republican  who  supposes  that  the  country,  under 
the  present  circumstances,  can  gain  by  the  as-

the  times,  to  retain  the  dominant  party  in  the 
ascendency  which  it  has  so  honorably  won,  and 
which,  upon  the  whole,  it  has  thus  far  justified. 
Not  in  this  generation  can  the  great  principles 
for  which  three  hundred  thousand  brave  men 
died  upon  the  field  of  battle  be  safely  commit-

impunity,  and  exhorting  all  good  citizens  to 
vigilance.  To  recognize  the  independence  of 
Cuba  would  be  at  least  manly.  To  connive  at 
the  revolution,  while  affecting  regard  for  the 
faith  of  treaties  and  for  international  comity,

part  of  the  island  is  undoubtedly  in  sympathy 
with  the  revolution ;  and  in  that  part,  outside 
of  the  larger  cities  and  towns,  there  is  probably 
no  government.  Taxes  are  not  collected,  prob- 
ably, either  by  the  Spaniards  or  the  Cubans, 
except  in  the  form  of  forced  loans.  Courts  of 
law  of  either  party  probably  do  not  administer 
justice.  The  country  is  practically  without 
civil  administration,  overrun  by  bands  of  guer- 
rillas and  marauders,  which  scatter  at  the  ap- 
proach of  regular  forces.  Both  parties  are,  of

that  a  positive  position  might  have  enabled 
a  result  to  be  reached.  The  position  in  Cuba 
is,  indeed,  different,  because  it  is  not  a  civil 
war  but  a  colonial  revolution.  But  unless  the 
United  States  intend  to  become  a  party  to  it, 
whatever  their  wishes  and  sympathies,  they 
will  properly  await  events.  To  concede  bel- 
ligerent rights  to  the  revolutionists  in  Cuba 
would  be,  of  course,  the  first  step  toward  the 
recognition  of  Cuban  independence.      It  is  a

tions. It  is  not  to  be  made  until  the  belliger-

John  grasped  warmly  the  whole  hand  of  his 
cousin,  who  had  merely  extended  to  him  the  tips 
of  her  fingers,  and  with  one  fleeting  glance  de- 
voured the  face  of  the  young  girl.     Hair,  eyes, 
nose,  lips,  all  was  comprehended  in  that  beam 
from  his  blue  eyes.     Then  he  turned  to  his  aunt. 
I  came  through  the  orchard,"  he  said,  "and 
led  to  have  a  look  at  the  old  pippins.     Do 
remember  bow  many  pantaloons  came  to 
grief  in  my  climbing  that  old  tree?"

"Help  yourself,"  said  Miss  Moneypenny,  push- 
ing the  fruit  toward  her  nephew,  and  looking 
beamingly  upon  him.  "  How  well  you  look  ! 
My  idea  of  what  a  man  should  look  like,"  she 
added,  with  an  emphasis  that  John  well  under- 

"Chacun  a  son  goat,"  said  John,  burying 
half  of  a  peach  in  his  huge  mouth;  "it's  not 
every  one  that's  so  easily  suited." 

"'No,"  replied  Miss  Moneypenny,  with  a 
frown;  "I  suppose  you  haven't  the  least  idea 
what  I  wanted  of  you,  John  ?" 

"Well,"  to  tell  tl

tossed  and  tumbled,  and  finally  arose,  dressed

self at  my  feet  in  the  most  graceful  attitude,  fix-

ested in  my  reading  as  I  usually  do,  and  in  the 
knights'  interview  with  the  queen  I  raised  my 
voice ;  a  movement  at  my  feet  arrested  my  at- 
tention. De  Vigny  was  just  opening  his  eyes- 
he  had  been  asleep!" 

"Well,  in  this  ense,"  said  the  old  lady,  "I 
can't  say  I  blame  him.  Your  voice  when  sing- 
ing or  reading  is  the  most  soothing  thing  in  the 
world— there  is  a  sort  of  magnetic  power  about 
it." 

"An  excellent  soporific  !"  said  Isabel,  sareas-

mint.  "When  you  have  learned  the  value  of

The  evening  of  that  day  John  returned  from  a 
fishing  excursion  ;  and  as  he  passed  the  drawing- 
window  the  tableau  within  caused  him  to 
pause  and  glance  again.     Isabel,  dressed  simply 
,-hite  with  a  single  rose  in  her  hair,  played  a 
e  svmphonv  upon  the  piano.     By  her  side, 
blinding  a'little  over  her,  was  the  slight  fig- 
of  Lascelles.     Dressed  elaborately,  his  hair 
parted  carefully  down  the  middle,  a 

pretty  woman.     His  foot,  beating  t 


soft  flu

hand  fluttered  over  t 

music  unceasingly.  Presently  Isabel  threw  1 
head  back  and  gave  a  little  preparatory  eong 
then  young  Lascelles,  taking  a -languishing  at 
tude,  and  gathering  his  face  into  a  mincing  c 
pression,  which  caused  a  wrinkle  of  mcrriim 
to  linger  about  John's  lips,  sang  in  a  shrill  ten 
which  soared  far  above  Isabel's  contralto  : 
"My  bonnie  lass  she  smileth 
Wheu  she  my  heart  begmleth, 

Smile  lees,  aeur  love,  therefore, 


John  cast  his  eyes  upon  the  figure  of  his  aunt, 
and  the  wrinkle  of  merriment  expanded  into  a 
smile.  The  old  lady  sat  perfectly  erect  in  her 
chair  by  the  window,  and  held,  with  untiring 
tenacity,  a  hand  upon  each  ear,  while  an  expres- 
sion of  exasperated  exhaustion  shadowed  her 
face. 

John  leaped  upon  the  portico,  and  softly  rais- 
ing the  French  window,  looked  in.  Miss  Money- 
penny's  eyes  lighted  up  when  she  saw  her  nephew, ' 
and  she  held  out  her  hands  entreatingly. 

"Wheel  me  out  upon  the  balcony,"  she  w  Ins- 
John  did  as  he  was  requested,  and  gave  but 
one  little  glance  at  the  further  end  of  the  draw- 
ing-room, where  Isabel,  unconscious  of  John's 
arrival,  sat  upon  the  piano-stool  and  listened, 
with  bowed  head  and  fingers  busily  engaged  in 
picking  the  rose  to  pieces,  to  the  shrill  whisper 
of  Lascelles : 

"  Cruel  charmer !  Had  you  given  the  rose  to 
me,  I  woidd  have  cherished  it  forever. " 

"Shut  the  window,  in  Heaven's  name,"  cried 
Miss  Moneypenny ;  and  John  pulled  down  the 
sash,  catching  one  lightning  glance  from  Isabel's

"He  seems  a  good-natured  little  chap,"  said 
John,  condescendingly. 

"Oh,  I've  no  doubt  he  means  well,"  replied 
Miss  Moneypenny;  "and  for  Isabel's  sake  I 
have  endeavored  to  do  my  best;  but  endurance 
has  its  limits,  John  ;  and  Lascelles's  voice  is  one 
of  the  things  that  I  can  not  stand.  It's  bad 
enough  when  he  talks;  but  when  he  sings  it 
really  is  the  most  penetrating,  rasping  thing 
imaginable !  They  are  quiet  now,  thank  God,

a  moment  to  swim  with  her 
leaving  Lascelles  to  follow  i

When  he  saw  the  house  his  heart  gave  a  leap 
of  relief,  and  he  dashed  through  the  hall  where 
his  aunt  sat  dozing  in  her  chair.  The  old  wo- 
man fixed  a  petrified  gaze  upon  John  as  he 
hastened  with  the  lifeless  form  of  his  cousin  up 
the  stairs,  and  watched  hira  hurry  oft"  again, 
drenched  as  he  was,  for  the  doctor.  When  John 
returned  with  the  village  ^sculapius,  Abigail 
had  already  changed  her  young  mistress's  clothe: 
aud  restored  her  to  consciousness. 

Then  John  went  to  change  his  dripping  gar

the  garden-path,  and  the  doctor  took  his  1< 

But  passing  through  the  hall  the  attenti 
the  physirian  was  arrested  by  a  motionless  figure

"God  bless  my  soul,"  he  cried,  "it's  Miss 
Moneypenny!" 

"O  Lord!"  said  Lascelles,  fanning  himself 
with  his  hat,  "she's  got  a  fit!     What  a  day  of

A  look  of  great  content  crept  into  the  eyes  of

her  eyes,  and  fearing  to  disturb  her  he  remniued

seemed  almost  to  speak  in  the  intensity  of  their 
expression.  Isabel,  now  fully  recovered,  watch- 
ed with  John,  and  one  vied  with  the  other  in

est friend  they  possessed  upon  earth  until  Friday

failing  this,  her  property,  personal  and  other- 
wise, was  to  be  divided  among  a  host  of  greedy 
relatives,  and  as  her  lawyer  had  always  managed 
to  make  his  connection  with  her  a  profitable 
thing,  she  hoped  he  would  do  the  same  by  her 
heirs."  And  there  the  will  ended ;  not  another 
word,  one  way  or  the  other.  So  Isabel  count- 
ed the  days  as  they  went  by,  as  the  Eastern  gen- 
tleman did  his  beans,  and  in  spite  of  the  tinge 
of  melancholy  that  shadowed  her  face,  she  be- 
came more  and  more  beautiful  every  day.  John 
scarcely  dared  linger  near  her,  and  roamed  about 
the  grounds,  gaunt  and  pale  as  a.  spectre.  Isa- 
bel's persuasive  tenderness  he  mistook  for  pity, 
and  rejected  her  timid  advances  indignantly. 

What  was  the  poor  girl  to  do?  The  days 
were  passing,  and  soon  he  would  bo  robbed  of 
bis  inheritance.  She  would  willingly  have  been 
dutiful  and  obedient  to  her  aunt's  desire;    she 

cred  did  she  consider  these  last  requests;   but 
John  was  so— so— stubborn ;  and  here  her  rhet- 

fell  upon  her  black  dress,  the  first  of  a  shower 
that  rent  her  heart  without  consoling  it.  "In  the 
midst  of  it  all  came  Lascelles ;  and  one  morning 
John  Moneypenny,  walking  up  and  down  the 
garden-path,  heard  the  sweet  voice  of  his  cousin 
"  '    remonstrance.

"Of  course  you  can't  now!"  said  the  shrill 
voice  of  De  Vigny.  "I  didn't  expect  such  a 
thing,  but  yon  can  not  surely  mean  to  throw  me 
over  altogether;  why  you  can't  be  in  earnest! 
Just  think  of  it,  Miss  Moneypenny!  I  am  mad- 
ly in  love  with  you.  I  worship  the  very  ground 
you  walk  upon,  and  there  isn't  a  girl  for  miles 
wouldn't  be  proud  of  such  an  offer." 

"  Then  you  are  at  liberty  to  throw  your  hand- 
kerchief to  any  of  them,"  replied  Isabel ;  ''you 
are  perfectly  free  as  far  as  I  am  concerned." 

When  John  saw  the  slender  form  of  the  young 
landed  proprietor  retreating  rapidly  toward  the 
De  Vigny  by-path,  he  turned  his  steps  home- 
ward, and  turning  suddenly  a  corner  of  the  bal- 
cony, found  Isabel  sitting  upon  the  step  in  such 
a  pretty  attitude  of  despondency  that  he  could 
not,  for  his  life,  pass

hand.     "Why  are  you  so  sad  ?"

Isabel.      "I  haven't  a  friend  in  the  world!" 

"How  can  you  say  that  to  me?"  stammered 
John,  not  knowing  exactly  what  he  was  saying. 

"Why  do  you  avoid  me  then?"  continued 
Isabel. 

John  hesitated  a  moment— his  lip-  trembled, 
and  he  grew  pale.     Then  he  cried,  boldly, 

"Because  I  love  you!"  dropping  her  hand

Douglas  was  pleased  and  astonished  at  the  ex- 
tent of  "the  child's  acquirements  and  at  the  lucid- 
ity of  her  understanding.  He,  soon  found  that 
it  was  unnecessary  to  confine  her  attention  only 
to  the  grammar.  "To-morrow  we  will  begin 
Virgil,"  he  said,  when  the  lesson  was  finished. 

Azalea  laughed  in  her  heart,  feeling  that  the 
victory  was  won,  and  that  her  father  need  snfier 
no  further  uneasiness  concerning  her  education. 

"Will  your  father  call  and  see  me?"  Douglas 

"  He  is  a  cripple,  from  paralysis,"  interrupted 
the  girl,  sadlv. 

She  was  surprised  by  the  look  of  tender  pity 
that  beamed  over  her  companion's  rugged  face 
—a  look  SO  soft,  and  plaintive  ih.it  I'm-  an  instant 
the-  harsh  features  and  deep-set  eyes  seemed 
ti.iiistorined  into  something  like  beautv. 

"  I  will  come  to-morrow,"  he  said,  briefly.

Douglas  was  relieved  by  her  departure.     Joy 


speech  seemed  healthful  compared  to  that  old  ter- 
rible time  when  his  voice  and  limbs  were  numb- 
ed entirely  by  the  dread  gripe  of  paralysis.  He 
was  drifting'  toward  the  end,  but  so  soft  and 
gradual  was  the  decay  that  he  scarcely  saw  the 
deepening  of  the  shadows.  Life  was  fading  from 
view  as  light  dies  away  on  the  bosom  of  a  still 
lake  when  the  rosy  dusk  darkens  slowly  from 
warm  indistinctness  to  impenetrable  gloom. 

Douglas's  visits  were  a  great  solace  to  the  old 
man.  It  had  been  arranged  between  them  that 
the  former  should  come  to  Auriel  on  those  days 
when  Azalea  received  her  lessons.  This  arrange-

"  She  is  really  tolerable,"  was  the  first  conces-

French  accent  was  not  so  vile  would  be  a  pleas-

It  was  on  an  evening  in  October  when  the 
family  returned  home ;  after  the  bustle  of  arrival 
had  subsided,  the  inmates  wandered  helplessly 
about  the  house,  like  strange  cats  that  are  not 
sufficiently  at  home  to  clean  their  feet  and  go 
through  all  the  licking  and  purriugs  incidental  to 
cattish  toilets. 

The  luggage  had  not  arrived,  so  the  ladies'- 


letters,  but  his  inkstands  were 
ieteries  for  deceased  flies,  and  his 
i  and  paper  were  locked  up  in  his  dispatch-

^\ucv  dinner  the  gnl.s  strolled  out  on  the  slop- 
ing lawn  at  the  back  of  the  house,  and  there  held 
council  over  their  plans  for  the  future.  Miss 
Slater  sat  down  in  the  drawing-room  and  looked 
sentimentally  at  Lord  Orme,  and:  Lord  Orme 
went  to  sleep.

when  a  young  lady,  wealthy  and  high-born,  lacks 
the  feminine  loveliness  to  which  her  rank  and 
other  advantages  justly  entitle  her,  the  female 
jackals  of  her  court  generally  disarm  criticism 


Do  you  think  the  Marquis  of  Grandacres

said,  alluding  to  an  unmarried  country  magnate. 
"Not  that  night,  perhaps,1  Amelia' said |  slow 
ly.  "Perhaps  he'll  do  it  when  he  calls  next,

Then  they  discussed  the  number  and  class  of

Rosa  said,  viciously.  "What  men  can  see  to 
admire  in  a  woman  of  her  age  I  can  not  im-

"My  dears,"  called  Lord  Orme  from  the 
drawing-room  window,  "come  in;  you  will 
catch  cold." 

Lord  Orme  had  a  vague  theory  that  every  one 
who  went  out  of  doors  after  dinner  must  neces- 
sarily catch  cold.  He  always  sat  indoors  through 
all  the  long  mellow  summer  evenings.  He  call- 
ed the  dew  damp,  and  preferred  listening  to  the 
thrush  through  closed  windows  and  drawn  cur- 


The  Misses  Orme  obeyed  the  summon: 
shortly  afterward    announced   themselves 
fatigued,  aud  retired  to  their  bedchamber.    Rosa

Kosa  said,  with  increased  severity.  And  Ame- 
lia, looking  very  conscious,  dropped  tho  braid

mminged  :  The  postulant  was  introduced  into  a

neath this  room  was  another,  nnd  in  the  centre 
of  the  floor  of  the  upper  one  was  cut  a  pretty 
wide  nperture.  A  marble  vessel  filled  with  water 
and  provided  with  a  glass  bottom  was  laid  over 
this  trap,  and  when  the  dupe's  awe  and  terror 
were  sufficiently  excited  he  was  desired  to  look

orninen't  conecded  belligerent  rights  to  thorebcli 
in  this  country  before  a  battle  had  been  fought 
— mill,  unless"  we  nre  much  mistaken,  before  it 
could  have  heard  of  the  proclamation  declaring 
a  blockade  of  the  Southern  ports.  This  haste 
to  recognize  as  a  belligerent  a  party  -which  was 

the  contemporary  circumstances  so  fully  reveal- 
ed in  the  correspondence  of  Mr.  Seward  and 
Mr.  Adams,  and  the  vehement  hostility  of  the 
press,  showed  on  unfriendly  spirit  which  is  an 
essential  element  of  all  consideration  of  the  sub- 
ject. But  the  case  of  the  United  States  and 
Cuba  is  wholly  different.  Public  sympathy  is 
undoubtedly  with  Cuba  as  an  island  striking 
for  independence  of  a  harsh,  foreign  rule  ;  and 
thero  is  very  little  doubt  that  the  President  and 
mnny  of  his  Cabinet  share  this  abstract  approval 
of  the  Cuban  revolution.  Nevertheless,  the 
Government  has  not  yet  conceded  belligerent 
rights  to  tho  Cubnns,  although  the  struggle  has 
lasted  eight  months,  and  the  conduct  of  its  of-

The  now  issues,  therefore,  will  spring  from

low many  days  after  the  fair  morning  on  which 
they  were  plucked.  She  sat  down  among  the 
nut-boughs,  and  cried  bitterly.  A  brand  of 
shame  seemed  to  be  scorching  her  lips. 

"I  can  never,  never  tell  daddy  or  Mr.  Doug- 
las," she  thought.  Then  she  wept  afresh,  and 
looked  reproachfully  at  her  cotton  dress. 

"If  I  were  only  better  dressed,  and  sat  in  a 
drawing-room,  like  Rosa  Orme,  this  would  nev-

again.  How  dared  he  to  treat  me  so?  I  will 
never  forgive  him  as  long  as  I  live.  It  would

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Late  that  evening  Robert  Douglas's 

of  a  visitor  at  his  cottage  door — a  n 
judging  by  his  externals,  was  by  no  n 
ik'?c]  ipnon  of  guest  to  be  expected  i 
homely  dwelling.  From  his  glossy, 
curled  head  to  his  well-fitting 
perfect  representative  of  a  hand 
looking  Englishman.  He  was  f 
ed,  but  with  a  fashion  that  was 

in  his  whole  attire.  He  mov& 
his  lips  as  he  stood  in  the  door 

"  Holloa!  old  fellow,  is  that 
i-lU  night  it  is!" 

The  voice  was  familiar,  and 
himself  confronted  by  the  bright 
smile  of  Thurstan  Mowbray. 

"  I  came  past  Auriel  this  mornin 
come  and  see  you  then,  as  there 
with  the  men.     At  the  county  b

"I  can  not  retnrn  the  compliment,"  Douglas

Curtius  may  have  looked  as  he  surveyed  the 
unfathomable  horror  of  the  Forum  gulf. 

"Dinner  is  served,"  Douglas  announced, 
gravely,  as -he  placed  a  steaming  savory  mess 
of  eggs  and  herbs  on  the  deal  table.

"  Why,  you  used  to  be  more  severe  against  the 
sex  than  any  one,"  his  friend  said,  surprised. 
"One  would  think  you  were  in  love." 

It  has  been  said  that  Captain  Mowbray  was 
shrewd. 

"Hush !"  Douglas  cried,  sharply.  "  Do  not 
talk  of  love  and  me  together.  What  has  an  age 
embittered  by  the  memories  of  the  past,  a  wrink- 
led face,  and  an  uncouth  form,  to  do  witb  the 
morning-bloom  of  youth?  I  am  too  tired— too 
sore  with  long  wretchedness— to  wrestle  with  the 
cruel  strength  of  the  passion  of  love.  Its  heav- 
enly exultation,  its  hellish  despair,  would  destroy 
me.  My  life  has  been  for  years  one  long  waste  ; 
but  it,  at  least,  has  been  calm.  It  I  felt  my

"This  is  an  awfully  bad  country  for  hunting.

"  What  a  fellow  that  is !"  Thurstan  said  to 
himself,  as  the  train  moved  out  of  the  station. 
"Here  I  have  known  him  all  these  years,  and 
never  found  out  beforo  that  he  had  an  inkling 
of  what  the  word  hunting  meant.  I  suspect  his 
is  an  odd  history.  I  wonder  if  he  will  ever  en-

whenever  and  wherever  she  hud  the  opport unity. 

Hiff  ihnt  unusually  gay  and  deligluful  season. 
Susan  Trice  was  the  daughter  of  a  London  law- 

yer,  the  eldest  daughter,  report  said  ihe  prettiest. 
and«licwas  staying  on  a  tolerably  long  visit  witl 

was  one  of  the  pleasantest  in  Kdinburgh,  ant 
who  declared,  with  charming  candor,  and  in  t 
ln.,.,,1  Lowland  accent,  that  she  hoped  her  niee< 
would  not  "go  south"  single,  but  marry  and  set 
tie  within  easy  reach  of  Princes  Street.  Susar 
Price  was  a  -very  pretty  girl  when  I  met  her— at 
a  scientific  lecture,  l.y-lhe-way,  which  gave  me 
a  high  opinion  of  her  intellect,  and  laid  mc 
lo  valorise  when  I  discovered  the  eaiholi. 

her  tastes,  and  her  peculiar  predilection  IV , 

fasten  kind  of  dancing.  Nay,  I  will  he  magnan- 
imous and  acknowledge  that  she  is  a  very  pretty 
girl  still ;  though  the  dream  is  ended,  the  sleep- 
er is  awakened ;  and  I  am— well,  not  exactly 
desolate,  but  certainly  disconcerted.  She  had 
bright  brown  eyes,  and  bright  brown  hair,  and 
a  bright  brown  complexion,  1  think— hut  no 
doubt  I  ought  to  use  some  other  word  to  de- 
5cri|ie  it— and  her  cheeks  glowed  with  a  rich  col- 


v.-t  I  «,ilked  into  love  with  her.  intentionally  and 
deliberately-.  She  suited  me  exactly,  according 
to  nil  mv  theories.  She  was  pretty  and  bright, 
end  -weet  enough  for  me,  in  mv  capacity  of  poet 
,u  i.i-ie  and  leeling,  though  not  yet  "vulgarized 
in  verse,"  as  I  have  seen  it  beautifully  expressed. 
She  was  clever  enough  to  understand  me  perfect- 
ly without  attempting  any  absurd  equality;  in- 
deed, she  was  much  too  sensible  for  any  thing 
of  that  sort,  and  recognized  the  grand  truth  that 
„  |,u>lmnd's  place  is  that  of  Gamaliel.     She  had 

ll-.-me-- which  abounded  just  then  with  exemplary 
punctuality,  and  was  so  enthusiastic  about  the 
"pioneers  of  civilization,"  as  she  called  my  fa- 
mild  expioiation,  in  sonic  not  very  dangerous 
region  of  the  tropical  zone,  might  not  he  a  pos- 
sible method  of  adding  erln  I  to  a  honey-moon  trip. 
Susan  Trice  was  very  energetic  ;  I  could  not 
avoid  seeing  that;  and,  though  it  jarred  upon 
me  a  little,  I  remembered  that  one  energetic  per- 
son in  a  household  was  rather  an  advantage,  and 

nld  prohahlv  give  up  dancing. 

1  have  -aid  her  name  was  her  sole  delect,  but 

non  ceased  to  mind  it  .    indeed.  1  raiher  liked 

i  idea  of  changing  it   for  her,  especially  as  1 

icovered  one  evening,  while  the  "sides'"  were 

blundering  through  the  invariably  impracticable 

fourth  figure  of  a  quadrille,  and  looking  foolish 

and  miserable  in  the  attempt,  that  she  partici 

larly  admired    my   patronymic.      I    had    been 

thinking  about  the  proposal,  and  all  the  other 

formalities  which  must  be  encountered  before  I 

■oidd  call  Susan  mv  own,  aud  "Miss  Price"  no 

onger,  and,  though  I  natter  myself  I  am  not  a 

nan  who  could  po-sil.lv  look  or  feel  ridiculous 

mder  anv  circumstances,  I  confess  I  felt  anxious 

hat  these  preliminaries  should  be  conducted  with 

becoming  dignity,  and  at  the  same  time  with  a 

certain  touch  of  originality  befitting  my  poetical 

and  i-elined  temperament. 

We  had  been  talking  of  the  new  novels,  and 
the  names  (and  indeed  the  colors,  for  "red"  was 
coming  into  fashion  just  then)  of  their  heroines, 
and  then  of  Highland  and,  Scotch  names  in  gen- 

"  I  like  almost  all  the  Macs,"  said  Miss  Price, 
in  her  decided  lively  way. 

Then  I  explained  to  her  the  significance  of  the 
Mac  and  the  0,  so  puzzling  and  meaningless  to 
all  but  the  Celtic  ear.  Her  attention  wandered, 
I  thought,  as  I  got  farther  into  the  mazes  of  the 
clans  and  the  tartans,  and  I  recalled  it  by  saying, 


brown  eyes  I  had  i

the  brief  but  delightful  familiarity  of  the  "gal

might  have  been  pardoned  as  a  youthful  indis 
cretion,  but  every  time  he  could  drag  the  joke  (! 
into  ihe  conversation.  That  was  my  last  danc 
with  Susan  that  night;  but  I  did  not  mind  tha 
much,  because  I  knew  I  should  see  her  the  nex 
day  at  a  "  literary  tea,"  where  I  had  promised  t 
read  some  "  selections"'  from  the  poets,  and 


of  her  pretty  scarlet  cloak  in  the  hall  I  saw  the 
end  of  a  piece  of  paper  remarkably  like  an  en- 
velope protruding  from  what  1  believe  I  ought  to 
call  the  tucker  of  her  dress.  This  little  discov-

A  WAR  PARTY. 

IS  there  a  war  party,  or  is  there  likely  to  be 
a  war  party,  in  the  country  ?  This  is  a 
question  which  is  always  timely  under  certain 
circumstances,  and  which  may  very  properly 
be  asked  just  now.  Abstractly  no  intelligent 
and  industrious  community  desireB  war,  and 
war  is  very  seldom  distinctly  foreseen.  How 
many  people  in  England  supposed  there  was  to

FOREIGN  INTERFERENCE. 

The  "Irish  Republicans,"  of  whom  we  spoke 
two  or  three  weeks  since,  met  in  Chicago  on  the 
5th  of  July,  as  they  proposed,  and  passed  sun- 
dry resolutions.  They  set  forth  what  they  con- 
ceived to  be  "the  duty  of  the  Irish  people  in 
this  Republic,"  and  they  asked  "  for  the  down- 
trodden of  all  enslaved  lands  the  sympathy 
and  support  of  the  people  and  Government  of 
the  United  States."  They  also  declared  their 
readiness  "to  stand  by  the  Government  of  the 
Republic  in  insisting  upon  an  ample  apology 
for  the  wrong  committed  [in  the  Alabama  affair] 
and  full  compensation  for  the  loss  sustained."

CERTAIN  "GREAT  PRINCIPLES." 
Mr.  Wade  Hampton,  who  was  described  by 
he  World  a  year  ago  as  a  kind  of  ideal  Ameri- 
:an  citizen,  is  Vice-President  of  the  Southern

a  proper  regard  for  the  great  principles  which  have 
governed  her  in  the  past;  who  believes  that  these 

patriots  who  died  for  that  cause." 

Mr.  Wade  Hampton,  whose  public  career 
shows  him  to  be  a  very  foolish  gentleman,  here 
shows  how  curiously  he  and  his  friends  miscon- 
ceive the  vital  point  of  the  war,  and  the  inev- 
itable judgment  of  History.  What  is  the  ver- 
dict of  History  upon  the  great  rebellion  in  En- 
gland ?  That  it  was  honorable  and  justifiable. 
Why?  Because,  although  the  line  between 
the  Royal  prerogative  and  Parliamentary  priv- 
ilege had  never  been  definitely  drawn,  yet  the 
King  asserted  his  prerogative  against  the  liber- 
ties of  the  people.  He  asserted  a  right  that 
could  not  be  expressly  and  technically  denied, 
hut  for  an  ignoble  purpose,  and  therefore  the 
heart  and  conscience  of  mankind  declare  against 

Now  what  Is  the  cause  for  which  Mr.  Wade 
Hampton  fought?  Ostensibly  it  was  that  of 
State  sovereignty,  the  right  of  a  State  to  secede 


the  Constitution.  We  say  nothing  of  the  un- 
speakable folly  of  the  theory,  of  the  impossibil- 
ity of  any  real  national  growth  and  develop- 
ment, of  the  painful  limitation  of  every  defense 
of  freedom  implied  in  such  a  scheme,  because 
men  may  fight  not  only  bravely  but  honorably 
for  a  mistake  in  political  philosophy  and  prac- 
tice. But  while  State  sovereignty  was  the 
ostensible  cause,  the  perpetuity  of  human  slav-

shared  by  his  fellow-citizens  who  held  to  the 
equal  human  rights  of  all  men.  Perceiving 
that  the  friends  of  equal  rights  were  likely  to 
control  the  Union,  of  which  his  State  was  a 
part,  by  which  ascendency  the  system  of  buying 
and  selling  men  and  women,  living  by  their  la- 
bor, and  deriving  political  privilege  from  them, 
might  be  at  last  peacefully  abridged  and  even 
abolished,  Mr.  Wade  Hampton  asserted  the 
right  of  his  State  to  secede  from  the  Union. 
He  asserted  a  claim,  in  itself  innocent  enough, 
however  foolish  and  unfounded,  but  for  the 
basest  of  conceivable  purposes. 

To  maintain  State  sovereignty  that  slavery 
might  be  perpetuated  was  the  object  of  bis

WAS  THE  POLICY  OF  HOLDING 
ON  TO  GRAIN  GOOD? 

Tn  drought  of  last  year  in  Europe,  which  wa 
most  severe  in  Great  Britain,  was  succeeded  by 
a  winter  wholly  unparalleled  for  mildness.     "

Although  no  blows  have  ever  been 
undoubtedly,  most  unseemly  display 
are  often  witnessed.  And  the  power  ot  tne 
Speaker  is  almost  nil  in  repressing  these  out- 
bursts ;  for  he  has  to  keep  order  with  no  pow- 
er to  compel  order ;  he  can  not  commit  a  mem- 
ber to  custody,  flagrant  as  may  be  his  conduct ; 
he  can  not  even  order  him  to  quit  his  place  in 
the  House.  The  utmost  punishment  the  Speak- 
er can  inflict  is  to  name  a  member— to  call  him 
by  his  name.  An  indirect  rebuke  is  contained  in 
this  ceremony.  When  the  Speaker  addresses  a 
member  by  his  name,  that  very  act  implies  that 
he  has  so  conducted  himself  as  to  cease  for  the

been  made  a  fact,  England  was  eager  to  acknowl- 
edge it,  withstood  only  by  the  obstinacy  of  the 
King  George  III.  and  his  Prime  Minister,  Lord 
North.  The  Commons  were  resolved  to  stop 
the  war,  to  throw  out  the  King's  War  Minister ; 
and  after  a  six  weeks'  struggle  the  King  and 
Lord  North  had  to  yield.  The  Minister  came 
down  to  the  House  to  announce  his  resignation. 
He  rose  to  speak  ;  and  out  of  courtesy  the  Prime 
Minister  is  generally  heard  at  once  without  ques- 


inclined  ;  they  loudly  insisted  that  another  mem- 
ber, who  had  also  risen,  should  speak  first,  and 
that  Lord  North  should  give  way.  He  was, 
however,  too  skilled  in  debating  tactics  to  be 
easily  silenced  ;  and  directly  the  motion*that  the 
other  member  be  heard  first  was  proposed  Lord 
North  again  started  up  to  speak  on  that  ques- 
tion. There  was  no  stopping  him  then ;  and  he 
immediately  cut  discussion  short  by  announcing 
that  he  and  the  Government  had  resigned  office. 
A  quorum  of  the  House  of  Commons  is  forty 


is  for  a  member  distinguished  hv  long  experience 
to  suggest  who,  in  his  opinion,  is  most  suitable 
for  the  Chair;  and  if  no  one  else  be  proposed  the 
election  passes  by  acclamation.  This  is  not  al- 
ways the  case;  the  choice  of  Speaker  1ms  been 
oi-nwionnlly  the  subject  of  long  and  hot  debate, 
ten  Speakers  citizen  during  the  laM

of  Lords  to  fulfill  the  ancient  ceremony.  Ho 
was  more  hangluv  than  any  peer— the  haughtiest 
man  alive.  His  looks  asserted  all  the  pride  he 
felt;  disdain  glittered  in  his  eyes;  and  with  un- 
daunted assurance  he  addressed  the  King:  "I 
ain  come  hither  for  your  Majesty's  approbation." 
In  such  a  style  no  Speaker  hud  over  before  ad- 
dressed a  King.     King  Charles  was  not  to  be

villi  their  studies  this  afternoon.  Douglas  sat 
ind  looked  at  his  manuscript,  with  his  face  shnd- 
wed  by  one  hand  ■   but  the  other  fell  listless  by 

k-h.sv  the  blank  whiteness  of  his  paper. 
Azalea,  crouching  down  on  the  window-seat, 

ore  her;   but  the  dahlias    nodding  in  the  long 


dreamy  inei 

liked  to  see 
and  pass  their  cool  veil  i 
the  roses.  She  reveled  i:

clouds  of  night  began  to  thicken  i 
and  the  sun  glowed  in  long  red  fl 


tened  in  the  golden 


gliding  over  its  breast;  the  wehddike 
trouble  of  the  darkening  sky,  filled  him  with  in- 
effable depression.  The  shadow  of  a  now  despair 
seemed  to  be  looming  behind  the  shadow  of  the 
coming  night.  Like  his  companion,  he  would 
fain  have  arrested  the  progress  of  time  at  noon- 
tide; not  because,  like  her,  he  reveled  in  the 
present,  but  because  he  dreaded  the  hours  of  the 
future.     Presently  Azalea  broke  the  silence : 

'■What  would  you  do  if  any  one  insulted 
you?"  she  asked,  suddenly;  and  as  she  spoke  a 
blush  suffused  her  face,  which  seemed  to  Douglas 
to  be  only  a  part  of  the  sunset  glow  which  was 

her  question,  and 


•  It  depends

pent  my  revenge  all  my  life,"  Douglas  said,  sad- 
ly. "But  why  need  you  ask  such  a  question, 
Azalea  ? — you  who  are  as  secure  from  insult  here 
as  the  lovely  roses  are  from  being  plucked  or  the 

"  Oh,  of  course,  "Azalea  answered,  confusedly. 

Once  or  twice  she  had  thought  she  would  tell 
of  the  marvelous  spectacle  she  had  seen  in  the 
lane;  but  the  memory  of  that  audacious  soldier 
always  checked  the  impending  confidence.  How 
could  she  confess  to  her  father  or  her  stem-faced 
tutor  that  she  had  been  picked  up  and  kissed  by 
a  young  soldier,  as  carelessly  as  he  might  pluck 
a  flower  and  wear  it  for  an  instant  at  his  breast  ? 
How  could  she  tell  them  that  she  was  haunted 
by  the  memory  of  a  pair  of  brown  eyes,  which 
she  would  like  to  meet  again,  if  only  to  abash 
them  with  the  glory  of  her  indignation? 

Douglas  left  Aur'iel  earlier  than  usual  to-night. 
His  maimer  was  abrupt  and  confused  :  and  Aza- 
lea, scared  by  his  unwonted  sternness,  felt  some- 
thing of  her  childish  fear  of  him  return  as  she 
lonked  at  his  moody  face. 


Mr.  Douglas  jo  cross  to-day. 

Meantime  Douglas  had  paused  once  at  the 
lower  gate  of  the  avenue,  and  looked  round  with 
a  half-hope  that  the  girl  might  be  yet  waving  him 
an  adieu.  He  could  not  see  her ;  and  the  closed 
shutters  of  the  sitting-room  excluded  from  his 
eves  the  solitary  light  that  beamed  in  the  vast 
and  lonely  house.     The  mist  and  the  darkness

rt  the  diamond-shaped  window; 


there  was  the  quick  spider 

on  the  window-ledge  until  its  buzzing  prey  came 
within  reach  of  its  long  arms.  The  lights  and 
shadows  that  were  flying  across  the  meadows 
opposite  were  playing  now  in  those  lonely  cham- 
bers, where  the  silence  was  rarely  disturbed  save 
by  the  twitter  of  birds  or  the  music  of  one  gentle

for  the  vanishing  hours.     He  tried  only  to

abruptly  in  another  direction,  he  walked  away 
down  the  fields,  and  never  stopped  until  he 
reached  a  small  town  about  eight  miles  distant, 
where  he  sometimes  called  for  letters  at  the 
post-office. 

There  was  none  for  him  to-night ;  indeed,  it 


the  outside  world, 
world's  hourly  life,  t 


peace  of  this  remote  country  village,  steeped  as 
it  was  in  the  serene  splendor  of  sunset.  A  few 
shiny-headed  babies  played  outside  the  cottages, 
the  opened  doors  of  which  revealed  occasional 
glimpses  of  calm  phases  of  domestic  life.  Here 
a  woman,  with  her  head  bent  over  her  needle- 
work—there an  old  man,  watching  the  united 
gambols  of  a  child  and  a  puppy  tumbling  to- 
gether over  his  crutches.  Douglas  looked  wist- 
fully at  the  faint  twinkling  lights  that  were  be- 
ginning to  glimmer  in  some  of  the  windows. 
There  was  "home"  for  every  one  but  himself, 
he  thought.  He  saw  a  day-laborer  slouching 
toward  one  of  these  lowly  homesteads ;  and  the

THE  "CONQUEST  OF  SOULS." 

Not  many  years  ago  the  Jesuit  fathers  in 
ity  in  a  way  peculiarly  their  own.  Thev  com- 
bined the  exhilarating  pleasures  of  the  hunting- 
field  with  the  more  sober  and  solemn  duty  of 
catching  souls.  The  holy  fathers,  no  doubt  ani- 
mated with  religious  zeal,  used  now  and  again  to 
call  together  their  Indian  converts,  and,  sallying 
forth  into  the  wild  savannas  that  surrounded 
their  missions,  carry  off,  if  not  by  persuasion 
then  by  force,  every  native  family  ihev  chanced 
to  meet  with.     This  was  called  the  "  conquest

The  missionary  fathers  of  San  Fernando  had 

been  hunting  for  souls  that  fine  summer  day,  and, 
ascending  the  stream  on  their  homeward  voyage, 
discovered  Guahiba  outside  her  solitary  hut.  Be- 
ing in  every  limb,  the  Indian  hunters  carried  her 
and  her  children  to  the  boat.     She  cried  aloud 


'They  reached  at  last  the  mission  station  of 
San  Fernando.  Here,  miles  away  from  her  for- 
est home,  her  captors  hoped  she  would  be  unable 
to  find  her  way  back.  But  they  had  yet  to  learn 
the  difference  between  the  virtue  of  a  savage  and 
the  barbarism  of  civilized  men.  Despair,  indeed, 
seized  upon  her  brain,  but  it  was  the  despair  that 
leads  to  desperate  venture,  and  not  to  inaction. 
The  remembrance  of  her  desolate  home,  the  chil- 
dren she  had  left,  and  the  husband  oi  her  youth 
looking  vainly  day  by  day  for  her  return,  gave 
wings  to  her  feeble  courage. 

Time  after  time  with  her  two  little  ones  she 
escaped  to  the  wild  savanna,  and  endeavored  to 
penetrate  ihe  impassable  forests  that  surrounded 
the  mission.  Time  nfter  time  was  she  tracked

mother  who  is  separated  from  her  children.  She 
is  at  Javita,  her  children  are  at  San  Fernando. 
She  must  find  them  again;  she  must  deliver  them 
from  their  captors,  and  bring  them  back  to  their 
father  on  the  banks  of  the  Atabapo.  She  was 
carelessly  guarded;  her  arms  being  wounded, 
the  Indians  had  loosened  her  bonds  unknown  to 
the  missionary  fathers.  She  succeeded  by  the 
help  of  her  teeth  in  breaking  them  entirely,  and 
unfastening  the  frail  bolts  that  secured  her  door, 
she  again  eluded  the  vigilance  of  her  guards,  and 
escaped  lo  the  surrounding  woods.

across  rivulets,  and  waded  through  pathless  quag-

swamps.  Hardly  stopping  to  rest  herself  at

Louis  Nai-oleon  is  just  as  valuable  as  another. 
He  talks  of  the  limits  of  the  Constitution.  But 
the  Constitution  is  his  work,  and  it  is  what  he 
chooses  to  consider  it.  If  he  has  taken  an

THE  "ALABAMA"  QUESTION 

POSTPONED. 
In  the  report  of  the  speech  of  Mr.  Glad- 
one  moving  the  definite  postponement  of  the

dropping  of  the  question,  but,  on  the  contrary,

America,  beiure  negotiations  were  resumed; 
i  m  this  opinion  the  British  Government  were 
lined  to  concur.     The  question  was  accord- 

Tliis  result  is  unfortunate,  because  it  is  not  a 
tpmieincnt  of  the  discussion  merely,  but  of 

negotiation;  and  it  would  certainly  be  bet- 
that  when  Congress  meets  a  treaty  should 
e  been  negotiated,  and  in  readiness  to  be

Ingland  will  satisfy  Americans,  "he"  may  "ad-

ical  opportunity.  If  the  situation  remains  un- 
changed until  the  meeting  of  Congress,  the 
Star  will  find  that  the  discussion  of  the  ques- 
tion will  not  be  postponed  in  that  body,  and 
General  Banks,  or  some  other  honorable  gen- 
tleman, will  have  the  most  stringent  resolutions 
ready,  and  patriotic  ardor  will  be  kindled  to 
the  highest  practicable  point.  However  the 
autumn  elections  may  be  decided,  the  question 
will  be  pressed.  If  the  Republicans  succeed, 
the  Democrats  in  Congress  will  act  in  sympathy 
with  Maryland's  resolution  in  the  California 
Democratic  Convention,  that  the  Democratic 
party  alone  has  always  proved  faithful  to  the 
country  upon  such  issues.  If  the  Democrats 
succeed,  they  will  strike  every  string  of  popular 
feeling  to  strengthen  themselves  for  the  na- 
tional campaign,  while  the  Republicans  will 
feel  a  greater  necessity  of  raising  some  rallying 
cry  of  enthusiasm  and  union. 

Meanwhile  the  duty  of  good  citizens  is  to  in- 
form themselves  thoroughly  upon  the  subject, 
that  public  opinion  may  intelligently  guide  and 
not  mislead  Congress,  nor  he  unduly  influenced 
by   Congressional   harangues  and   resolutions.

THE  DEMOCRATIC  PROGRAMME. 

Tut  late  Democratic  Conventions  have  thor- 
oughly undeceived  those  who  supposed  that  the 
leopard  would  suddenly  change  his  spots.  More

the  old  order  is  the  nomination  of  General 
Kosecrans  for  Governor  of  Ohio.  But  as  if 
to  extinguish  any  hope  that  might  begin  %

Chairman  of  the  Pennsylvania  Convention,  in

Kosecrans— the  principles  are  Vallandigham. 
And  as  Mr.  Wallace  truly  remarked,  princi- 
ples, not  men,  are  the  Democratic  doctrine. 
Those  who  are  not  Democrats,  however,  are 
expected  to  look  solely  at  the  man.  Repub- 
licans in  Ohio,  for  instance,  are  respectfully  re-

ocratic managers,  all  is  tyranny,  corruption,

There  were  those  who  supposed  that  this 
party  might  have  learned  something;  that  in- 
asmuch as  the  country  had  decided  that  the 
national  faith  should  be  kept,  and  that  colored 
citizens  should  vote  and  be  no  longer  ostracized, 
those  issues  would  have  been  relinquished  and 
battle  offered  upon  other  and  more  promising 
grounds.  There  were  those  within  the  party 
who  advised  this  course,  who  recommended  it 
last  year,  and  who  had  the  emphasis  of  rueful 
experience  to  support  their  counsel  this  year. 
But  all  has  been  sublimely  disregarded.  Even 
in  the  city  of  New  York,  where  a  year  ago  there 
was  a  party  in  Tammany  Hall  which  seriously 
wished  to  nominate  Mr.  Chase,  this  year  Tam- 
many Hall,  as  a  Fourth  of  July  festivity,  repu- 
diates the  war  and  its  results,  and  after  an 
oration  worthy  of  Vallandigham  or  Alexan- 
der H.  Stephens  or  Henry  Clay  Dean,  cheers 
for  John  T.  Hoffman  as  the  Presidential  can- 
didate ;  while,  simultaneously,  as  if  to  refresh 
in  the  public  memory  the  claims  of  the  party  to 
the  confidence  of  honorable  and  patriotic  men, 
its  late  candidate  for  Vice-President,  General 
BfcAiR,  extols  rebels  at  a  social  meeting  of  faith- 
iul  Union  soldiers. 

And  all  this  denunciation  of  equal  rights,  and 
praising  of  rebels,  and  demand  for  repudiation 
and  dishonor,  is  put  forth  under  the  name  of 
"Conservatism;"  as  in  the  bitter  hours  of  the

Reform  agitation  ,.i 
1832  in  England  was  excessively  distasteful  to 
the  Lords  and  the  Conservatives ;  the  Corn-Law 
agitation  was  singularly  wanting  in  good  breed- 
ing, in  the  judgment  of  the  Protectionists;  the 
Anti-Slavery  agitation  was  angrily  outlawed 
from  polite  society  in  this  country;  and  the

clared absurd  by  those  who  do  not  favor  it.

umbrella  of  a  typical  and  redoubtable  "  bloom-

and  the  excellent  fun  of  the  descriptions  of  nici 
officiating  as  nurses  and  washers  and  ironers 
lias  perhaps  spent  its  force.  At  least  it  is  nov 
a  little  stale  whenever  it  appears,  and  us  an  ar

the  question  now  engages  persons  who  think 
and  who  are  not  persuaded  by  a  joke  beeausi 
they  laugh  at  it.  Even  the  Tribune,  whicl 
keeps  up  rather  a  brisk  fusilade  of  the  ol< 
style,  occasionally  falls  back  upon  what  it  evi 
dently  considers  a  serious  argument — a  double 
header,  as  the  boys  say  on  the  Fourth  of  July- 
first,  that  woman  suffrage  is  a  new  idea;  and. 
second,  that  it  will  be  time  enough  for  womei: 
to  vote  when  they  ask  to.  But  to  this  it  should 
certainly  be  enough  to  reply,  first,  that  reform 
of  every  kind  necessarily  proposes  some  novelty ;

pate the  slaves  when  they  asked  to  be  free? 
Mr.  Mill  says  truly  that  the  women  in  an  Ori- 
ental harem  do  not  complain  of  not  having  the 
freedom  of  European  women;  but  while  that 
fact  undoubtedly  enables  men  to  retain  them 
longer  in  that  kind  of  bondage  it  does  not  ren- 

Theb 


because,  until  the  very  freedom  of  choice  and 
development  which  the  reform  demands  is 
granted,  it  is  as  absolutely  impossible  to  de- 
termine the  sphere  of  women  as  it  would  be 
that  of  men  had  they  always  been  similarly 
constrained.  When  a  man  tells  us  of  the 
heaven-appointed  sphere  of  lovely  woman  he 
merely  tells  us  what  his  theory  of  that  sphere 
is  ;  to  which  there  can  be  no  objection  until  he 
puts  Ins  theory  into  law  and  attempts  artifi- 
cially to  produce  the  sphere  which  theoretically 
pleases  him ;  and  pleases  him  not  from  con- 
formity to  right  reason,  but  from  very  different 
and  very  much  lower  considerations.

Fancy,  then,  the  flutter  when  this  monster  was 
announced  as  soon  to  make  his  appearance  at 
the  Hermitage.  On  hearing  it  Betty  left  the 
room  in  the  dramatic  manner  already  described, 
and  it  is  difficult  to  say  whether  indignation  at 
the  moii«ter'.i  audacity  or  cariosity  about  his  ap- 
pearance ruled  most  strongly  at  the  Hermitage 
till  Eversham's  arrival.  Then  it  was  discovered 
that  Nature  nakes  benevolent  provisions,  even 
for  monsters.  There  was  no  trace  in  him  of  the 
moral  hyena.  He  was  a  winning  man,  his  man-

iron  and  a  brow  of  brass  could  not  have  done 
it,  in  my  opinion. 

And  May  repulsed  him,  of  course;  froze  him 
with  scorn;  harried  him  by  her  saucy  wit; 
avenged  the  wrongs  of  her  sex  in  general,  and 


joled  him.  She  made  bouquets  for  his  button-

roused  May  from  her  passive  defiance,  and  she 
turned  on  him  with  a  cruel  smile: 

"Why,  nothing,  Mr.  Eversham.  only  to  pass 
the  time.  The  game  of  flirtation  has  its  risks, 
as  no  one  should  know  better  than  you.  Only  it 
is  generally  the  woman  who  loses,  and  the  man 
who  goes  away  smiling  for  another  game  else- 
where. You  will  ackrunvledi'e  that  our  game 
has  been  well  played,  and  if  it  is  your  turn  to 

victory,  you  know." 

And  this  was  the  girl  whom  he  had  loved,  be- 

felt  as  if  the  ground  were  gaping  under  his  feet ; 


by  these  at-

where  thoy  must  keep  at  a  distance,  and  where 
ibey  ma\    presume." 

"  I  dare  say,"  responded  May,  dryly,  and  not 
thinking  of  Hetty  at.  all.  Of  course  now  there 
was  a  duty,  plain,  before  her.  She  had  cheated 
and  taunted  a  worthy  man  under  a  direful  mis- 
take, and  there  was  only  one  reparation  possible. 
Mm  must  confess  the  mistake  and  beg  that  worthy 
man's  pardon.  It  would  ho  hard,  but  it  was  tho 
least  she  could  do  ;  and  if  any  body  should  have 
mentioned  to  her  that  she  had  intended  to  do

make  the  amende  honorable,  and  that  Ever- 
sham would  never  guess  that  sho  loved  him ; 
a3  if  it  needed  a  spirit  of  divination  to  read 
what  her  eyes  said  so  plainly  when  "She  wished

in  her  eves,  of  the  cause  of  my  disquiet.  She 
ran  dowii  the  path  to  meet  me,  babbling  gayly  ns 
a  wayward  brook.  "There  was  news  —  great 
news!"  she  said,  clasping  my  arm.  "I  must 
try  and  guess  what  it  was."  I  suggested  that  old 
Sally's,  grandson  bad  "come  home  from  the  In- 
dies'." Guess  again?  Well,  had  the  cat  brought 
into  the  world  of  birds  and  mice  some  small 
snowy  duplicates  of  herself?  Wrong  again !  I 
said  I  would  guess  no  more.  I  spoke  harshly, 
to  conceal  a  mighty  tremor  of  delight  which 

ingly-a  delight  which  died  almost  as  soon  as  it 
was  born,  for  she  flitted  away  from  me  again

Then,  with  her  face  sparkling,  and  breath  com-

"I  have  seen  horses   and  dogs,  and  men  in

She  grasped  mv  nrm,  her  face  glowing  with 
excitement,  her  lips  apart,  her  other  hand  point- 
ing to  a  distant  line  of  meadows  which  skirt  the 
south  side  of  the  shrubberies.  We  were  in  the

LOOKING  BACK. 

Have  you  forgotten  the  breezy  downs, 
Where  the  lights  and  shadows  play? 

And  the  purple  hiizc  of  the  iliMatit  liil: 
Lying  westward  far  away? 

How  the  tinkling  chime  of  the  slieep-bel 
O'er  the  slopes  of  the  tlmny    mrl? 


Have  you  forgotten  the  winding  road, 

All  bullied  in   the  dreamy  light, 
That  shines  on  an  autumn  afternoon, 

When  the  days  are  calm  aud  bright? 

Had  faded  from  earth  and  sky; 
And  the  year  grew  old  with  a  gracious  smile, 

Life  a  saint  prepared  to  die? 
Have  you  forgotten  the  vine-wreathed  porch 

Of  the  little  cottage  door? 
And  the  palmy  days  of  your  happy  youth— 

When  the  rustling  leaves  of  the  garden  flowers 
Were  hushed  by  the  moonbeam's  spell : 

And  you  lingered  to  whisper  those  parting  words 
That  I  lime  remembered  well? 


Have  you  forgotten?  I  still  be 
You  tliiuk  of  that  pleasant  p 

And  yonr  heart  turns  back  to  tl

THE  WATER  TANKS  AT  ADEN. 

Aden,  which  has  not  inaptly  been  styled  the 
Gibraltar  of  the  East,  is  un  isolated  corner  of  a 
continent  where  scarcely  a  morse),  of  vegetation

not  a  drop  of  rain  falls  often  for  years  in  suc-

four  miles  from  the  harbor,  is  tapped  with  cloud. 

Water  is  supplied  chiefly  by  distillation  from

FACTS  FOR  THE  LADIES. 

We  have  had  our  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Ma- 
chine for  ten  years;  have  made  five  hundred 
suits  of  heavy  cloth  upon  it,  quite  a  number  of 
tents— which  is  very  heavy  work— a  quantity  of 
family  sewing,  from  the  finest  material  to  the 
coarsest,  and  never  spent  a  cent  for  repairs.  I 
have  seen  a  great  many  other  machines,  but 
would  not  now  exchange  mine  for  any  other.

THE  DEMOCKATIC  PAETT. 

THE  recent  result  in  Virginia  shows  plainly 
enough  the  dilemma  of  the  old  Democratic 
party,  which  is  confirmed  by  its  action  in  the 
Northern  States.  It  has  hitherto  held  tena- 
ciously not  only  to  what  it  calls  the  inferiority 
of  the  negro,  but  to  its  refusal  to  allow  him  po- 
litical equality.  But  upon  this  very  point  tha 
party  is  now  divided.  In  Virginia  the  Demo- 
cratic vote  is  cast  solid  for  negro  suffrage.  In 
California  and  Ohio  ne^ro  sullrxico  is  denounced. 
lu  Massachusetts  Judge  J.  G.  Abboit,  one  of 
the  chief  Democratic  leaders,  writes  to  Tam- 
many Hall  that  reconstruction  and  negro  suf- 
frage have  been  finallv  settled,  however  wrong- 
ly, and  Tammauy  Hall  responds  by  glorifving 
the  principle  of  the  rebellion.  The  New  York 
World  urges  acquiescence  in  what  is  evidently 
accomplished,  and  hopes  fort  the  nomination 
of  Geueral  HAttcocit  in  Pennsylvania.  Penn- 
sylvania replies  by  denouncing  the  Fifteenth 
Amendment,  which  Virginia  accepts,  and  by 
nominating  a  typical  Copperhead  for  Governor.

Tho  Republican  party  has  questionable  mem-

is  always  that  party  which  strives  to  protect  the

intelligence  and  conscience  of  the  country. 
The  great  frauds  which  have  been  practiced  or

As  a  party  of  principles,  then,  we  repeat,  the 
Democratic  party  has  ceased  to  be  formidable  ;

still  challenges  the  vigilance  of  every  man  who 
values  true  popular  government.  It  is  to  be 
remembered  that  all  who  justify  the  rebellion 
and  pledge  the  "lost  cause"— all  who  would  re-

DE  FACTO  GOVERNMENTS. 

The  Sun,  which  is  the  devoted  friend  of  the 

Cuban  revolution,  recently  suggested  that  the 

Government  in  Spain,  and  acknowledge  that  in 
Cuba.  But  upon  what  grounds  should  we  re- 
fuse to  recognize  the  Spanish  Government? 
Last  October  the  people  of  Spain,  by  a  virtu- 
ally bloodless  revolution,  changed  their  gov- 
ernment. They  have  framed  a  most  liberal 
Constitution,  and  the  new  system  is  not  forci- 
bly opposed.     The  new  Government  exercises,

irder.  All  the  great  interests 
are  undisturbed;  and  although 
expected  that  a  country  with 
:s  of  Spain  will  escape  political 


progress  in  an  extraordinary  mann 
ruary,  1848,  when  the  French  Repu 
iared  in  Paris,  Mr.  Rush,  our  Mini; 
Ltly  acknowledged  it  as  the  existii 
nent.  There  was  no  just  complain

Besides,  if  it  be  the  duty  of  this  country  to 
help  a  foreign  revolution  against  an  oppressive 
government,  it  is  no  less  its  duty  to  originate 
revolutions  against  oppressive  governments.  If 
a  people  too  weak  to  overthrow  a  despotism 
rightfully  demands  our  assistance,  how  much 
more  a  people  too  weak  even  to  begin  to  over- 
throw it?  Indeed,  there  is  no  end  of  the  ab- 
surdities into  which  such  a  position  conducts 
us.  It  is,  in  fact,  the  principle  of  the  Holy 
Alliance.  It  destroys  aU  international  comity 
and  relegates  the  world  to  barbarism. 

When  the  Cuban  revolution  began  there  was 
but  one  alternative  for  this  Government.  It 
could  recognize  the  independence  of  Cuba,  or 
it  could  remain  neutral.  There  was  no  third 
course.  It  certainly  could  not  pretend  to  do 
one  and  really  do  the  other.  If  it  was  of  opin- 
ion that  we  ought  to  interfere  for  Cuba  and 
help  the  revolution,  then  its  honorable  course

distance,  he  could  not  answer  these  <piC;tn>ns. 

Martin's  plans  were  soon  formed.  Doctor 
Guidon  was  rich,  while  he,  poor  devil,  as  lie 
called  himself,  vs  as  in  need  of  money.  By  work- 
ing upon  the  Doctor's  fears  he  might  put  money 
in  his  purse.     And  as  t<>  Louise  herself-  but  she 


yet  not  the  same.  Her  dress,  her  air,  her  whol 
expression  had  changed.  It  was  the  old  fiowt 
new  and  different  fragrance.     While  h 


of  that  repugnance  which  she  had  formerly  ex- 
hibited. In  a  short  time  they  even  became 
friends,  and  the  Doctor  was  compelled  to  suffer 


gainea  in  ner  new  life,  sne  naa  lost  tnose  spirit- 
ual intuitions  which  bad  guided  and  guarded  her 

As  Martin's  power  over  Louise  increased,  so 
also  did  his  hold  upon  her  husband.  He  profess- 
ed to  be  making  a  more  careful  investigation  as 
to  Louise's  antecedents.  Little  by  little  the 
truth  came  out  — that  she  had  been  Heinrich 
von  Wetzlai's  wife.  At  first  the  Doctor  would 
not  believe  it.  But  one  day  Martin  took  Mm  to 
the  1" reach  cemetery,  and  showed  hira  the  emp- 
ty tomb.  That  was  done  in  order  to  obtain  more 
money;  but  this  time  the  attempt  was  vain. 
The  Doctor,  amazed  and  bewildered,  hurried 
home.  For  hours  he  paced  the  floor  of  his  li- 
brary in  a  frenzy  of  agony.  He  loved  Louise  as 
his  own  soul.  He  could*  not  give  her  up ;  and 
surely  it  could  not  conduce  to  her  happiness  to 
bo  restored  to  a  life  as  alien  to  her  as  if  it  liitd 
never  been  hers.  He  went  out  into  the  open  air. 
The  sound  of  voices  in  the  arbor,  as  he  walked 
down  the  garden  walk,  attracted  his  attention. 
As  he  approached,  unseen,  be  recognized  the 
voices ;  they  were  Martin's  and  Louise's.  He 
listened.  It  was  evidently  a  leave-taking.  Were 
tlicso»lovers  ?  He  peered  through  the  thick 
leaves  of  the  vine-clusters,  and  saw  Martin  stand- 
ing by  the  side  of  Louise  with  his  arm  about  her 
waist,  and  heard  him  ask,  as  he  looked  pleading- 
ly down  upon  her  innocent,  upturned  lace, 
'  "Shall  it  he  to-morrow,  dearest?" 

In  a  moment  Doctor  Guidon  stood  within  the 
arbor.  Before  those  cool,  searching  gray  eyes 
Martin  winced,  released  his  hold  upon  Louise,

In  a  few  days  Doctor  Guidon  had  secretly  dis- 
posed of  his  estate;  and  one, evening,  with  his 
wife  and  her  infant  daughter,  accompanied  by 
the  housekeeper,  now  little  Gertrude's  nurse,  he 
embarked  for  the  North  on  a  Mississippi  steamer.

The  banquet  given  to  Hon.  Henry  T.  Blow, 
■n  the  13th  of  July,  in  the  magnificent  dining- 
noins  of  the  Southern  Hotel,  St.  Louis,  had  more

Tbev  met  to  honor  one  who  (as  wi 
by  one  of  the  speakers)  "was  to  represent, 


between  her  people  and  those  of  that  youthful 
and  vigorous  Empire,  whose  future  seems  scarce- 
ly less  grand  than  that  of  our  own  republic." 
Mr.  Blow,  the  object  of  these  honors,  has  in- 

citizen,  eminent  for  his  enterprise  and  broad 
views,  as  a  patriot  in  trying  times,  as  a  member 
of  Congress,  and  as  a  minister  abroad.  He  is  a 
native  of  Southampton,  Virginia,  but  moved  when 
quite  young  to  Alabama.  In  1831  he  went  to 
St.  Louis.  He  early  became  interested  in  min- 
ing lands  of  immense  value,  and  by  manufac- 
tures and  by  mines  he  has  accumulated  a  large 
fortune. 

One  would  have  judged,  from  his  birth  and  as- 
sociations with  the  South  (spending  many  win- 
ters at  New  Orleans,  etc.,  etc.),  that  his  sympa-

bitterly.  "I  dare  say  not.  People  who  ' mean

more  effectually  than  he  could  have  done  living. 
The  dumb  lips  pleaded  her  cause  with  all  the 
eloquence  of  powerlessness.  The  strangely  lus- 
trous eyes  reflected  Captain  Mowbray's  con- 
science in  their  light,  and  entreated  mercy  for 
the  friendless  survivor  who  had  been  so  dear  to 
the  corpse  while  it  was  man. 

"I  will  marry  her,"  Captain  Mowbray  said, 
in  answer  to  the  silent  interrogation  of  the  dead. 
"Please  God,  I'll  take  good  care  of  her  and 
make  her  happy. " 

"Whatever  will  Miss  Azalea  do,"  old  Sally 
said,  as  the  young  man  placed  Azalea  in  her 
charge  ere  he  left  Auriel  that  night,  "  and  what 
will  become  of  me  ?  Muster  Moore  was  as  good 
as  five  shillings  a  week  to  me. " 

"Take  good  care  of  her,  and  I'll  see  that  you

are  soon  suspected  by  the  cupula/,,  who  often  de- 
tects the  fraud  by  finding  the  end  of  the  estaca 
notched  or  broken.  The  pearls  thus  abstracted 
arc  either  swallowed  or  introduced  into  the  rec- 
tum. The  first  operation  is  easy ;  but  the  pearls 
are  gicatly  injured  by  passing  through  the  di- 
gestive canal.  The  second  process  leaves  the 
pearl  all  Its  brilliancy;  but  it  needs  extraordi- 
nary skill  for  a  diver  to  open  an  oyster,  extract 
the  pearl,  secrete  it,  and  pick  up  enough  oysters 
not  to  rise  empty-handed,  all  in  two  minutes. 
About  noon  they  return  to  land.      Each  man

live,  as  in  Sweden,  the  shell  has  lost  it,s  brilliancy, 
proving  that  the  rays  of  the  tropical  sun,  which 
are  absorbed  by  the'  oyster,  are  needed  to  give  it 
its  radiant  tints.  In  the  culture  of  the  pearl- 
oyster  a  tropical  latitude,  a  calm  sea,  a  special 
ground,  and  no  interposition  of  shade  between 
the  shells  and  the  sun  are  needed ;  and  then 
pearls   are  only  found  in  oysters  seven  years 

We  must  say  a  few  words  about  the  monsters 
which  infest  the  seas,  and  which,  at  other  times 
seldom  seen  in  the  Gulf  of  La  Paz,  swarm  there 

at  the  pearl-diving  season.  The  sharks  are  little 
dreaded ;  being  obliged  to  turn  over  before  they 
can  sei/e  their  prey,  the  divers,  warned  by  theclam- 
or  from  their  friends  on  the  boat,  have  time  to 
escape;  or,  if  attacked,  they  extend  their  hand, 
grasping  the  estaca,  which  the  shark  bites  violent- 
id  wounds  his  jaws,  whieh 


are  \er\    lender,  and 

sharks  scent  sickness  on  board  a  ship,  and  follow 
in  its  wake  in  the  expectation  of  devouring  a 
corpse;  a  body  thrown  into  the  sea  is  always 
weighted  ;  and  as  the  shark  can  not  dive,  and  is 
obliged  to  turn  over  in  order  to  bite,  the  prey  is 
out  of  his  reach  before  lie  can  attack  it. 

But  if  the  Indians  care  little  for  the  shark,  it 


a  proper,  belongs  to  tlie  species  of  angel- 
Hshianodd  kind  of  angels  1),  and  is  a  huge,  broad, 
fiat  fish,  which  can  be  compared  to  nothing  bet- 
ter than  a  great  blanket.  Both,  fortunately,

they  emit  from  their  bodies,  and  which  seems  to 
have  a  stupefying  effect.  The  prima  eats  no- 
thing but  living  flesh,  while  the  tintorera  feeds 
only  on  putrefying  bodies.  The  latter  is  very 
'    sphoresceiit,  and  is  easily  seen  at  night.      It 


soon  begius,  and,  ghoul-like,  the 
monster  devours  his  horrible  feast.  This  fearful 
drama  makes  a  strong  impression  on  the  minds 

the  phosphorescence  and  magnetic  power  of  the 
tintorera.     The  prima  is  about  ten  feet  in  length  ; 

feet  long.  Both  have  several  rows  of  teeth,  like 
the  shark,  planted  not  in  the  mamillaries,  but  on 
the  lips.  There  are  also  the  s  vord-lish  and  the 
pieuvre,  or  the  famous  devil-fish  of  Victor  Hugo.

TENNESSEE  AND  MISSISSIPPI. 

THE  Republican  party  at  its  last  National 
Convention  declined  that  it  favored  "the 

imposed  upon  the  late  rebels as  may  be  con- 
sistent with  the  safety  of  the  loynl  people. 
This  is  a  plain  statement  of  what  the  tendency 
of  the  party  policy  should  he.  It  is  iro  more 
than  that,  because  it  is  impossible  to  provide  an 
exact  rule  tor  determining  when  and  wbere  and

A  lively  gentleman  in  Buffalo,  who  signs 
himself  "A  Republican  Office-bolder,"  has 
written  a  letter  upon  the  relation    of  office-

concession  in  the  interest  of  justice  and  peace,

save  bloodshed  by  the  paying  of  money,  and,  of 
course,  by  guaranteeing  its  payment.     But  that 
the  United  Stotes  should  be  the  broker  of  a

HENRY  W.  LONGFELLOW. 

Now  that  Longfellow  —  the  most  popular 

of  American  poets— i-  in  England,  the  question 

°f  him?  in  reply  it  may  he  said  that  Longiki.- 
LOW  is,  in  England,  more  popular  than  TfiNNT- 
fios.  It  is  also  true  that  Tennyson  is  more  pop- 
War  in  this  country  than  Longfellow.     This 


is  obvious.  Longfellow's  poems  are  cheaper 
in  England  than  here  ;  and  Tennyson's  may  be 
bought  here  at  a  nominal  price  as  compared  with 


copyright,  which  would  exclude  both  Tennyson 
and"  Longfellow  from  the  poorest  classes? 
Henby  Wadsworth  Longfellow  was  born 


il  Portland,  Maine,  Pebruary  27,  1807.  He  is 
mw,  therefore,  nearly  *ixiy-lhree  year*  old.     His 

uninent  lawyer.      lie  entered   rJowdoin  College

that  an  apology  would  comfort  John  for  the  pros-

Another  woman  might  have  reddened  under 
that  caress,  which  was  almost  as  menacing  as 
passionate,  but  this  one  paled  visibly.  Lady  Di 
could  no  lunger  blush,  although  she  conld  fear. 
She  did  not  fear  Thurstan,  but  she  was  appre- 
hensive of  any  one  of  her  admirers  appearing 
suddenly  on  the  scene.  She  could  explain  away 
most  things,  but  even  she  could  scarcely  have 
given  a  satisfactory  reason  to  Lord  Orme  or  to 
Clairveaux  for  her  being  kissed  on  the  stairs  by 
Thurstan  Mowbray.  The  latter  cnught  her  quick 
glance  directed  toward  the  drawing-room  door, 
and  laughed  grimly. 

"I  prefer  to  bully  you  here,"  he  said,  "be- 
cause you  can  not,  for  your  own  sake,  make  a 
noise.  However,  I  won  t  be  ungenerous,  Lady

Thurstan  thought  a  good  deal  of  Azalea  to-

nowadays  writing  of  a  still  more  minute  char- 
acter than  this,  seeing  that  the  Ten  Command-

enough  to  be  covered  by  a  sixpence.  There  is 
a  portrait  of  Queen  Anne  in  the  Hriiish  Museum, 
on  which  appear  a  number  of  minute  lines  ami 
scratches,  which,  when  examined  through  a  mi- 
croscope, are  shown  to  be  the  entire  contents  of 
a  small  folio  book  which  the  librarian  has  in  his 
possession.  A  similar  effort  in  the  way  of  mi- 
croscopic caligraphy  was  some  years  ago  discov- 
ered in  London  by  a  gentleman  who  had  bought 
at  a  sale  a  pen-and-ink  portrait  of  Alexander 
Pope,  surrounded  by  a  design  in  scroll-work.

so  minutely  transcribed  as  only  to  be  legible  by 
the  aid  of  a  magnifier.  This  was  an  evident  im-

THE  UNITED  STATES  AND  SPAIN. 

THE  revolution  in  Cuba  has  now  continued 
for  ten  months.    The  intelligence  from  the 


'ineiilly  confined  to  skirmishes  and 
warfare.  The  form  of  a  civil  govern-

events  in  Spain  promising  great  reforms  natu- 


During  the  ten   months   of  the   re 
Spain  has  been  busy  at  home  remode

iuch  a  concession,  as  Mr.  Sumner  truly  says 
n  his  speech  upon  Our  Foreign  Relations,  "  bears 

he  same  relation  to  acknowledged  independence 


diator.  If  Spain  declined  the  offer  we  should 
of  course  reserve  to  our  discretion  the  acknowl- 
edgment of  belligerent  rights  or  the  recognition 
of  independence  j  and  when  either  course  should 
be  adopted  it  would  appear  as  the  result  of  the 
actual  situation,  and  not  as  a  penalty  imposed 
upon  Spain  for  not  accepting  our  advice.  It 
is,  indeed,  reported  that  this  offer  haa  been 
made  by  this  Government  upon  the  suggestion 
of  tho  Spanish  Minister,  and  with  the  knowl- 
edge that  it  would  be  accepted.  But  in  that 
case  the  threat  would  he  wholly  unnecessary. 
To  grant  belligerent  rights  to  Cuba  when  we 
were   satisfied    that    it  was    entitled  to  them 

tion,  and  not  an  unfriendly  act  to  Spain.  But 
to  tell  Spain  that  it  must  accept  certain  terms 
that  we  offer,  or  we  will  virtually  take  Cuba,  is

whether  to  license  or  prohibit.  That,  again, 
was  superseded  at  the  last  session  of  the  Legis- 
lature by  the  present  law,  which  is  prohibitory 
of  all  the  ordinary  drinks  except  cider.  Even 
lager  beer  is  forbidden.  This,  however,  was 
against  the  advice  of  Governor  Clajtlin,  of 
Senator  Wilson,  and  of  Mr.  W.  B.  Sfooner, 
the  President  of  the  Temperance  Alliance,  who 
was  in  consequence  asked  to  resign. 

But  the  law  was  no  sooner  enforced  by  the 
seizure  of  Mr.  Pfaff's  supplies  of  lager  beer 
than  there  was  such  a  protest  of  public  opinion 
that,  after  the  delay  of  a  day  or  two,  there  came 
a  written  opinion  of  the  Attorney-General,  un- 
der which  the  liquor  was  restored  and  the  prose- 
cution abandoned;  and  presently  Mr.  Spooner 
was  invited  to  resume  the  Presidency  of  the 
Temperance  Association.  Meanwhile  Judge 
Pitman,  the  leader  of  the  prohibitory  party  and 
lute  President  of  the  Senate,  had  been  appointed 
by  Governor  Claflin  to  the  bench,  and  a  lager 
beer  seller  at  Arlington  was  convicted  before 
him,  and  received  the  whole  sentence  of  the 
law.  The  feeling  of  the  State  is  aroused,  and 
the  Temperance  question  will  inevitably  be  an 


hould  declare  for  prohibition  ;  and  this  year 
iany  of  the  moderates,  unwilling  that  the  par- 
f  should  fall  under  the  control  of  the  thorough 
smperance  leaders,  will  either  not  vote  at  all, 
r  will  vote  for  Mr.  Adams  as  a  protest  and 
faming.  The  papers  are  discussing  vigorously 
he  proper  policy  for  the  party  Convention  to  pur- 
ne.    The  Commonwealth— &  radical  Republican 


at  it  will  by  neither  possible  nor  roputabl* 

plain  declaration  of  principle. 
Hitherto  the  party  has  refused  to  make 
hition  a  test;  and  it  should  reflect  very  . 
Mv  before  it  decides  to  do  so  now.     Of  cc 


i  prohibitory  law. 


The  reason  of  this  is 
tion  of  drunkenness  a 
crime  is  not  well  understood ;  but  it  is  to 
sought  iii  opinions  as  to  the  most  efficient  re 
edy  of  the  difficulty,  and  of  the  rightful  fundi 
of  government.  A  Republican,  therefore,  w 
urges  that  the  party  shall  make  prohibition 
party  principle,  proposes  that  the  party  shall : 
tire  from  the  control  of  public  affairs;  and  i 


irectly  or  indirectly  b

the  organization  of  the  great  and  powerful  party

A  JUNKETING  TYRANT. 

In  the  good  old  Democratic  days  which  were 
pite.ously  bemoaned  the  other  evening  at 

desired  by  the  disinterested  patriots  there  as- 
nbled,  there  could  be  no  such  grave  and 
thering  charges  as  •'junketing"  brought 
aiust  the  President  of  the  United  States. 
le  innocent  recreations  of  that  great  and  good 


HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


Democratic  President, 
Pierce,  were  co-operating  with  Border  Ruffians 
led  by  the  Democratic  Atchison,  and  shooting 

free  settlers  in  Kansas.      The  relaxations  of  his 


a  Democratic  President  that  has  been  vouch- 
safed to  us,  Mr.  James  Buchanan,  were  har- 
boring rebels  in  his  Cabinet,  and  wringing  his; 
hands  over  the  beginnings  of  civil  war,  with  the 
maundering  complaint  that  nobody  had  a  right 
to  do  so,  and  nobody  had  a  right  to  stop  it. 
These  were  the  reasonable  and  humane  diver- 
sions over  which  Tammany  was  vocal  with 

Alas!  alas!  we  have  fallen  upon  evil  days! 
The  President  of  tho  United  States,  no  longer 
gayly  causing  American  freemen  to  be  shot, 
and  propagating  slavery— no  more  airily  regret- 
ting that  rebellion  can  not  be  stopped — aban- 
dons himself  to  breathing  the  ocean  air  at  Long 
Branch  and  recuperating  at  Saratoga.  Since 
Tiberius  disported  himself  at  Capri  there  has 
been  nothing  so  odious  as  the  "junketing"  of 
the  gloomy,  imperial  Grant  at  the  sea-side. 
Such  is  the  emergency  that  Democratic  patriots 
hasten  to  the  city  to  denounce  the  President 
for  going  out  of  town.  Leaving  the  "  two-forty" 
in  the  wagon,  the  iced  Champagne  in  the  gob- 
let, and  the  pate'  untouched  until  the  end  of 
their  speeches,  they  arraign  in  far-resounding 
rhetoric  this  feasting  tyrant.  What  was  Nero's 
fiddling  while  Rome  wa3  burning  to  Grant's 
"junketing"  while  the  rights  of  American  citi- 
zens are  every  where  despised? 

It  is  notorious,  it  is  flagrant,  that  since  Grant 
destroyed  the  renown  of  his  country  in  the  field  he 
has  ruined  its  influence  in  the  Cabinet,  and  that 
no  American  any  where  is  longer  safe.  A  hun- 
ire  wandering  avnuiid 
1  every  body  knows  that  they  may 
all  be  roasted  at  slow  fires  by  the  effete  Des- 
potisms, while  the  taciturn  Grant,  unconcerned, 
will  still  twist  his  scornful  heel  around  in  the 
Lancers,  and  loll  and  languish  in  the  lap  of 
Sybaritic  delights.  Oh,  for  an  hour  of  the 
Spartan  Piercb!  of  the  heroic  Buchanan!  of 
the  spotless  Floyd  !  of  the  incorruptible  Cobb  ! 
of  the  patriotic  J.  Davis,  of  Mississippi !  of  the 
liberty-loving  Mason!  of  the  honorable  Sli- 
dell!  of  Henry  A.  Wise  !  ofWiQFALL!  of 
Vallandigham  !  of  H.  Clay  Dean  !  of  ail  the 
noble  Democratic  host  whose  names  and  deeds 
are  the  national  glory  ! 

For  further  particulars  of  our  progress  to- 
ward voluptuous  empire,  and  of  our  fatal  tend- 
ency to  selfish  and  corrupt  politics,  inquire  at 
the  office  of  the  Mayor,  of  the  Corporation  At- 
torney, and  of  the  District  Attorney.  The  lat- 
ter, in  the  intervals  of  its  public  advertisement 
at  Tammany  Hall,  will  be  glad  to  show  to  all 
interested  an  infallible  remedy  for  junketing  at 
Long  Branch,  which  its  name  is  John  T.  Hoff- 
man, that  only  juukets  at  Saratoga. 


THE  CROTON  BOAKD. 
Tins  is  one  of  the  few  distinct  portions  of 
the  city  government  which  has  the  confidence 
of  tax-payers,  but  yet  it  is  the  only  one  whose 
salaries  are  not  paid  by  the  tax-eaters  who 
control  the  affairs  of  the  city.  The  officers  of 
the  Board  are  Thomas  Stephens,  President; 
Robert  L.  Darraqh,  Assist.  Commissioner; 
and  General  George  S.  Green,  Chief  Engi- 
neer. The  latter  succeeded  Mr.  Cra- 
is  now  in  Europe,  and  possesses  all  i. 
sites  for  the  station— engineering  skill,  official 
integrity,  and  high  personal  clli 
doubtless  exercises  the  same  ii 
the  action  of  the  Board  which 
to  Mr. 
important 

i  County,  to  maintain  during 
the  heats  of  summer  the  requisite  daily  supply 
of  sixty  million  gallons  of  water,  is  now  being 
constructed— work  with  which  General  Green 
is  perfectly  familiar;  but  the  importance  of  the 
Board  is  most  felt  in  the  arrangements  neces- 
■ary  for  the  distribution  of  the  water,  in  which 
they  are  brought  into  contact  with  every  citi- 

If  this  duty  were  not  performed  impartially 
and  justly  the  city  would  feel  the  burdens  of 
misgovernment  with  a  severity  not  yet  known, 
as  there  is  the  widest  opening  for  favoritism 
and  oppression  in  fixing  the  charge  upon  each 
citizen,  and  particularly  among  those  whose 
supply  is  special,  arising  from  some  industry  in 
which  they  are  engaged.  The  persons  con- 
stituting the  Board  are  in  the  constant  and 
diligent  performance  of  their  duties,  and  would 
unquestionably  be  paid  but  for  the  want  of 
agreement  in  the  distribution  of  patronage  be- 
tween them  and  those  who  pay  the  salaries. 
The  grounds  alleged,  however,  are  the  litigation 
set  on  foot  by  John  J.  Bradley  to  oust  Mr. 
Stephens  from  the  office  of  President,  and  a 
supposed  illegal  construction  of  the  Board,  re- 
sulting from  thejr  refusal  to  recognize  him  in 
that  position.  The  Supreme  Court  here,  after 
Mr.  Brad 


Mayor  j  and  Mr.  Stephens,  appointed  original- 
ly in  lytfO,  holds,  on  the  strength  of  two  suc- 
cessive acts  of  the  Legislature  since  passed, 
which  leave  no  doubt  of  their  intent. 

By  the  first  of  those  acts,  passed  in  May, 
1866,  several  months  in  advance  of  Mr.  Brad- 
lev's  appointment,  it  was  declared  that  "the 
Engineer  and  Assistant  Commissioner  of  the 
Croton  Aqueduct  Department  shall  continue  in 
office  for  the  term  of  three  years  from  and  after 

the  passage  of  this  act,  and  any  vacancy  in  their 

shall  bejilkd  by  the  members  of  the  Board

lion — in  support- 

ing  his  last  position ;  and  the

Stephens  being

Board  of  Aldermen, 
1  of  office  and  applied  for  a  man- 
ist  Mr.  Stephens  to  remove  the 
latter  on  the  ground  of  such  invalidity  ;  but  the 
case  was  decided  against  Mr.  Bradley,  and 
no  appeal  was  taken.  The  title  of  the  act  re- 
lated exclusively  to  the  tax  levy. 

In  this  state  of  things,  and  while  Mr.  Ste- 
phens was  actually  occupying  the  position — no 
ing— the  Legislature,  in  IMH7,  passed 
ict  that  "the  term  of  office  of  the 
persons  now  severally  discharging  the.  duties  and 
exerdsiny  the  powers  of  President  Commissioner, 
Assistant  Commissioner,  and  Chief  Engineer 
Aqueduct  Di-pnrt- 


from  the  first  day  of  January,  1867,"  etc. 

It  was  not  until  May,  1868,  a  year  and  a 
half  after  Mr.  Bradley's  supposed  appoint- 
ment, and  long  after  his  acquiescence  in  the 
decision  made  against  him,  and  also  after  he 
had  withdrawn  his  protest  against  the  payment 
of  Mr.  Stephens's  salary,  and  openly  consented 
to  its  payment,  that  he  commenced  new  pro- 
ceedings to  remove  Mr.  Stephens  from  office. 

The  ground  now  alleged  is  the  same  origin- 
ally taken— that  is  to  say,  that  the  first  act  of 
the  Legislature  is  void  because  it  was  a  local 
matter  and  appeared  in  what  he  terms  a  local 
bill,  the  tax  levy  for  1866  ;  and  further,  that  at 
the  time  of  the  passage  of  the  act  of  1867,  au- 
thorizing the  Board  to  hold  over,  Mr.  Stephens 
was  a  usurper  illegally  occupying  the  office ; 
that  Bradley  was  then  its  legal  incumbent,  in- 
capable of  vacating  it  without  resigning  to  the 
Mayor  and  Board  of  Aldermen,  and  also  that 
the  act  of  1867  violates  tho  Constitution. 

The  two  provisions  of  the  Constitution  relied 
upon  are,  first,  "  that  no  private  or  local  bills, 
etc.,  shall  embrace  more  than  one  subject,  and 
that  shall  be  expressed  in  the  title ;"  and,  sec- 


elected  by  the  electors  of  the 
ties,  or  appointed  by  the  Boards  of  Supervisors 
or  other  county  authorities,  as  tho  Legislature 
shall  direct,"  etc. ;  but  this  provision  was  add- 
ed, that  "all  officers  whose  offices  may  here- 
after (Constitution  of  1846)  be  created  by  law 
shall  be  elected  by  the  people  or  appointed,  as 
the  f.cyiihuure  may  direct." 

If  both  acta  are  void,  then  Mr.  Bradley 
claims  that  the  former  acts  creating  the  Croton 
Aqueduct  Department  are  unrepealed,  and  that 
was  appointed  pursuant  to  this  authority. 
The  answer  to  this  ground,  if  his  long  acqui- 
:ence  in  the  decision  against  him,  which  still 
nds  as  a  complete  adjudication,  is  not  fatal, 
this,  that  the  Croton  Board  is  not 
confined  to  the  city  of  New  York,  and  1 
not  local.     The  works  extend  through  Putnam 
and   Westchester    counties,   where    large   and 
important  duties  are  constantly  to  be  performed, 
and  the  Board  stands  on  the  footing  of  the 
Board  of  Health,  which  derived  its  authority 
from  the  Legisluture,  and  was  sustained  by  the 
courts  for  the  reason  that  its  duties  extended 
to  adjoining  localities.     Nor  is  the  tax  levy  lo- 
cal ;  on  the  contrary,  it  partakes  of  the  charac- 
ter of  a  public  and  general  law.     This  has  been 
decided  in  several  cases,  though  not  by  the 
Court  of  Appeals.     To  extend  the  term  of  an 
has  also  been  held  not  to  violate  the 

1849  the  Croton  Board  was  con- 
structed anew,  and,  having  been  created  since 
1846,  the  provision  that  they  may  be  appointed 
as  the  Legislature  shall  direct  would  seem  to 
apply.  On  these  grounds  it  would  seem  to  be 
clear  that  the  Board  will  be  sustained.  If  one 
is  ousted  the  others  must  speedily  follow. 

This  attempt  to  reconstruct  the  Croton  Board, 
so  that  it  shall  be  in  harmony  with  the  abuses 
which  appertain  to  the  whole  city  government, 
is  part  of  the  scheme  for  making  the  city  inde- 
pendent of  the  Legislature.  The  city  owes  the 
same  allegiance  to  the  State  which  may  be  ex- 
acted from  any  connty.  The  government  of 
the  State  is  a  unit,  and  each  city  is  a  mere  part 
of  its  political  machinery  for  carrying  into  effect 
its  public  powers,  and  it  may  legislate  for  the 
city  at  its  pleasure  within  the  limits  which  the 
prescribes.  The  tax-payer  finds

Mrs.  Ilesperifi  was  emphatically  a  woman  of

ite sister  she  asked  no  questions,  hnt  nsed  her 
eyes  and  ears.  Of  course  it  did  not  need  quite 
half  a  day  to  discover  that  Miss  Grierson  hated 
Mattie.     She  could  never  leave  her  alone. 

"You  could  hardly  believe,  Mrs.  Peri,  how

"I  was  reminded  of  Maria's  case  by  getting  a

nxious  that  we  should  join  her.  Wliat  do  you 
ny  ?     It  seems  to  me  dull  enough  here." 

Again  Mattie  looked  hard  at  her  sister,  but 
he  could  read  nothing  in  that  artless  woman's 
ice.  Three  days  later  they  were  at  Fern  Cliffe. 
lattie's  pride  rebelled  sorely.  The  move  looked

thoughts 
pretty  and  fresh, 


from  the  piazza  that  made  him  start.  A  dainty 
little  figure,  marked  by  a  certain  saucy  self- 
feature,  nor  with  set  color,  but  a  face  that  bloomed 
like  a  pink-tinged  leaf;  and  a  peculiar,  distinct, 

about  it  (but  such  a  pretty  affectation !),  as  she 
stood  talking  with  a  very  handsome  woman,  also 
a  stranger;  in  brief,  Mattie  nnd  Mrs.  Hesperia. 
There  was  just  one  course  for  Tom.  He  seat- 
ed Kitty,  went  up  to  the  two  ladies,  and  took 
off  his  hat.  The  muscles  about  his  mouth  did

THE  MONEY-DIGGERS. 

The  moon  just  emerged  from  behind  a  cloud, 

and  the  shadow  of  the  blasted  tree  stood  boldly 

"Time!"  cried  the  leader. 

The  three  men  stooped  down  and  picked  up 
their  pickaxea. 

They  stood  on  the  edge  of  a  deep  hole— so 
deep  that  three  men  must  have  spent  many 
days  in  working    at  it.      A  ladder  projected

These  three  men  stood  in  the  moonlight  and 
prepared  to  descend.  They  were  about  as  ugly 
a  collection  of  human  beings  as  it  was  possible 

"We  ought  to  reach  it  to-night,"  said  one,  as

The  men's  axes  flew  like  light.      The  earth 
was  torn  out  in  huge  masses.     The  brazen  rod 


gave  forth  a-  metallic  sound. 

The  two  men  trembled.     They  dropped  their

The  two  men  below  looked  at  one  another. 

Some  time  elapsed.  They  heard  a  noise  above 
as  Bill  panted  ami  tugged  at  the  chest. 

"Make  haste  there I"  cried  Sam  at  last. 

There  was  no  answer. 

The  hearts  of  these  two  men  throbbed  violent- 
ly; a  terrible  suspicion  darted  through  their 
minds.     They  were  not  long  in  suspense. 

Suddenly  an  enormous  granite  rock  fell  over 
the  edge  of  the  pit.  Had  not  Sam  violently

were  Spaniards,  Tor<|iicmnda  and  Xhnenes,  the 
former  being  the  first  Grand  Inquisitor.  He 
had  earnestly  labored,  in  Isabella's  early  days, 
to  infuse  into  her  mind  the  same  spirit  of  relig- 
ious intolerance  which  possessed  his  own.  He 
strove  to  obtain  from  her,  while  yet  a  girl,  a 
pledge  that,  "should  she  ever  come  to  the 
throne,  she  would  devote  herself  to  the  extirpa- 
tion of  heresy,  for  the  glory  of  God,  and  the 
exaltation  of  the  Catholic  faith."  When  Isa- 
bella ascended  the  throne  of  Castile,  Torque- 
mada  urged  her  to  fulfill  this  promise,  and  was 
seconded  by  Ferdinand.  Long  did  Isabella's

her  lover's  benefit.  Nothing  pleases  her  better 
than  to  spend  her  time  in  removing  the  rose 
leaves  that  may  raffle  her  lord's  repose.  I  do 
not  think  that  her  lord  adequately  returns  her 
civilities;  he  would  fight  for  her,  no  doubt,  if 
it  were  necessary,  but  he  would  scarcely  resign 
his  easy-chair  to  her,  or  omit  to  clatter  the  fire- 
irons  because  she  had  a  headache.  Azalea,  hav- 
ing completed  her  arrangements,  sat  and  looked 
drearily  out  of  window,  watching  the  avenue  un- 
til her  eyes  grew  pained  by  the  intensity  of  her 
gaze,  and  her  heart  felt  cold  and  sick  with  dis- 
appointment. 

"  Lor',  Miss,  don't  take  on  so,"  old  Sally  said, 
philosophically.  "What  does  a  man  matter 
when  you've  got  a  bit  of  meat  for  dinner,  and 
a  warm  fire  to  sit  by?  Oh,  there's  nothing  like 
the  pinch  of  an  empty  stomach  for  driving  the 
men  folks  out  of  your  head." 

"But,  you  see,  I  never  have  been  60  hungry

on  Azalea  through  the  confusion  of  her  surprise 
her  heart  grew  hot  with  excitement.  She  had 
sought  manna,  and  she  had  plucked  rue;  the

of  mortification.  She  had  a  father,  then  ■  not

n  searching  for  memories  of  her  dead  mother 
she  discovered  the  existence  of  a  living  father.

He  guessed  nothing  of  the  tie  which  linked 
her  with  Thurstan  Mowbray,  nor  of  the  discov- 
ery she  had  just  made  with  regard  to  hiiaself. 
Love  had  made  a  woman  of  the  girl,  and  the 
sense  of  injury  had  infused  something  of  ma*eu 
line  power  into  the  profundity  of  her  indignation 

"A  parent  is  not  always  able  to  be  all  that  la- 
would  wish  to  bis  child,"  Lord  Orme  said,  with 
a  flash  of  self- vindication.  He  added,  more

that  contact  with  kindred  flesh  and  blood  the 
intonation  of  harshness  melted  from  her  voice 
and  -lie  spoke  earnestly:

groups  of  trees,  under  which  were  strewn  gaunt

Students  of  natural  history  have  a  perpetual 
feast  in  the  contemplation  of  the  economy  they 
discover  in  the  structure  and  lodgment  of  the 
various  organs  which  give  perfection  to  the  body. 
The  packing  of  the  liver,  to  have  it  occupy  the 
least,  room,  but,  above  all,  the  manner  of  stow- 
ing the  brair  so  as  to  have  it  exactly  fill  the 
skull,  excites  the  highest  admiration  of  those 
most  familiar  with  this  system  of  economizing 
room  in  Nature's  handiwork.  The  human  brain, 
for  example,  is  supposed  to  be  made  up  of  dis- 
tinct cords,  lying  side  by  side,  too  numerous  and

THE  SOUTHERN  POLITICAL 
SITUATION. 
[T  is  very  important  to  estimate  correctly  the 
L  political  condition  of  the  Southern  States; 
nd  the  late  elections  in  Virginia  and  Tennes- 
;e  show  at  least  one  fact  upon  which  all  will 
gree.  It  is  that  those  who  are  not  Republic- 
ns  control  the  balance  of  power.  Upon  all 
ther  points  there  is  no  agreement  of  opinion 
e  New  York  Tribune  says  that 
Tennessee  is  that  universal  am- 
nesty must  be  conceded.     But  it  does  not  deny

at    Shelbyville,    Kentucky.      The   photographs 
were  taken  by  J.  A.  Whipple,  of  Boston. 
The  Courier*  Journal  of  Louisville  contains  the

World  says  that,  although  Walker  and 
:ER-were  elected  as  "Conservative  Repub- 
18,"  yet  that  "Democrats  supported,  elect- 
Mid  will  advise  them;"  and,  in  fact,  the 
Id  hails  the  result  as  an  old-fashioned  Dem- 
tic  victory,  such  as  the  election  of  Vallan- 
[am  as  Governor  of  Ohio  would  be,  or  of 
3E  Hampton  or  James  M.  Mason  or  Jef- 
*on  Davis  as  United  States  Senators, 
ut  the  Richmond  Whig  retorts  that  "it  is 

Democratic,  and  the  policy  which  it  repre- 
sented was  liberal  Republicanism."     This  as- 
ioq  is  certainly  favored  by  the  address  of 
'  just  before  the  election,  in 


g  a  new  political  organization.  It  i- 
ition,  the  Times  thinks,  whi-di  '-stands 
upon  a  Republican  foundation,"  and 

mild  he  kindly  regarded  by  Northern

Times  asserts  that  "  in  respect  of  principle  this 
new  born  alliance  is  identical  with  tlie  out  and

events  through  its  rosy  hopes.  If  what  it  says 
be  Hue,  the  new  Virginia  and  Tennessee  Legis-

The  more  probable  explanation  of  the  South- 
ern elections  is,  that  the  late  rebels  and  Demo- 
crats, persuaded  that  they  could  do  nothing 
whatever  until  they  were  restored  to  political 
rights,  decided  to  accept  the  situation  so  far  as 
to  do  what  was  necessary  to  obtain  that  resto- 
ration. But  that  the  majority  of  them,  or  any 
very  large  number,  have  relinquished  their  old 
convictions  and  animosities,  or  would  refuse  to

or  the  administration  cordially  sustained,  by 
such  an  alliance  as  that  which  has  succeeded  in 
the  Southern  States,  is  painfully  problematical. 
We  should  be  very  sorry  if  all  the  friends  of 
Republican  principles  and  of  General  Grant's 
administration  were  of  the  same  kind. 

We  have  no  wish,  however,  to  repel  truly 
friendly  advances ;  and  we  are  very  far  from 
undervaluing  what  has  been  gained.  The  suf- 
frage is  legally  equalized  j  colored  citizens  are 
declared  eligible  to  office ;  and  colored  children 
are  entitled  to  education.  These  concessions 
are  great ;  but  they  have  been  wrung  from  those 
chiefly  who  are  sullenly  opposed  to  them.    This 


ould  be  as  sure  in  Tennessee  as  it  is  in  R 
msetts.  But  political  and  humane  regc 
on  is  not  so  rapid.  The  gains  are  indeed  nom- 
tally  great,  but  their  reality  depends  upon  a 
mnge  in  sentiment  which  must  be  very  slow. 
■  the  alliance  be  really  as  the  Times  supposes, 
on  a  Republican  platform,"  we  shall  rejoice. 
■ut  this  is  altogether  too  much  to  assume,  and 
in  be  proved  only  by  developments  which  it  is 
ertainly  the  duty  of  Republicans  to  await  in  no 


President.       If  he  had  givt

to  be  paid,  the  Wrest  Indies  to  be  annexed,  and 
taxation  to  be  abolished  by  General  Grant's 
election,  have  been  naturally  disappointed.  He 
became  President  when  there  was  a  deplorable 
social  condition  in  the  Southern  States,  a  heavy 
debt  and  taxation,  and  perplexing  foreign  ques- 
tions. Toward  the  end  of  the  first  half  year  of 
his  administration  the  debt  is  materially  re- 
duced, and  the  national  credit  improved ;  the 
principles  of  radical  Republican  Reconstruction 
and  the  Fifteenth  Amendment  have  been  formal- 
ly, if  not  from  conviction,  approved  in  the  South- 
ern States  that  have  voted  ;  the  English  ques-

"I  wish  I  had  the  strength  of  mind  to  punish

I  haven't— Violet,  allow  me  to  introduce  our

Miss  Leigh  smiled  rather  languidly;  rather 
too  languidly,  Mr.  Adair  thought,  as  their  hostess 

"A  man  convinced  against  his  will,  etc., "she 
quoted  presently.  "Why  should  I  attempt,

You  have  proved  it  to  me  already,"  he  said, 

adroitly  guiding  Iter  intu  a  path  that  none  of  the

glancing  after  them,  felt  happy  when  she  saw 
them  disappear  round  a  coiner  together,  alone. 

A  fortnight  after  this  they  were  alone  with  each 
other  once  more.  By  this  time,  though,  being  with 
each  other  had  become  the  one  thing  in  the  whole 
world  to  them.  During  this  fortnight  Mr.  Adair

"There  is  a  bar  between  us,  darling,"  he

"One  child  only,  thank  Heaven." 

"  What  is  it— boy  or  girl  ?" 

"A  girl ;  she's  about  ten  years  old,  by-the-way. "

forbade  her  asking  any  questions  that  that  friend 
had  forbidden,  her  curiosity  was  sorely  taxed. 
Nor  was  it  set  at  rest,  by  Gerald  Adair's  telling

Still  wrestling  with  her  curiosity,  Mrs.  Arbnth-

added,  holding  out  his  hand. 

"  My  picnic  was  fatal  to  you  both,"  she  whis- 
pered ;  and  he  bowed  his  head  and  went  out  of 
the  room.' 

For  tfie  next  eight  years  Violet  Leigh  altern- 
ately puzzled  and  annoyed  all  her  best  friends  by 
refusing  to  marry.     She  had  many  brilliant  offers

ntroduced  to  the  neigh- 
borhood as  the  daughter  of  her  old  friend  Mr. 
Adair,  and  her  own  adopted  child. 

Gradually  the  whole  story  oozed  out.  Mrs. 
Adair  was  dead  long  ago,  and  for  years  Violet 
Leigh  had  played  the  part  of  mother  and  guard- 
ian to  the  child  of  her  old  love.  She  had  always 
refused  to  marry,  because  objections  had  always 
been  raised  on  the  part  of  her  guardian  and  her 
lovers  to  any  permanent  settlement  being  made 
on  the  daughter  of  her  heart.  At  last,  in  wrath, 
her  guardian  vowed  that,  unless  she  gave  up  this

The  night  was  far  advanced,  and  Thurstan

o  longer  asked  herself  "  Is  it  so?"  In  those

The  dark  thought  was  standing  out  dear  in 
her  mind  now ;  that  which  her  heart  foreboded 
when  she  heard  bis  careless  laugh  by  the  fire-

His  harsh  \oice  melted  into  a  murmur  of  in- 

effable tenderness  as  he  knelt  down  and  clasped 

in  his  baud  the  girl's  slender  fingers. 

She    withdrew    them    slowly;    her    thoughts 

seemed  variable  and  insequent  as  the  autumn 

leaves   that   whirled    past,   the    window.       For  a 

while  she   looked   down   thoughtfully  on  some

she  drew  them  toward  her,  and  looked  at  them

AN  HEROIC  BOY. 

A  few  weeks  ago,  on  board  an  English  steam- 
er, a  little  ragged  boy.  aged  nine  years,  was  dis- 

from  Liverpool  to  New  York,  and  carried  before 
the  first  mate,  whose  duty  it  was  to  deal  with 
such  cases. 

When  questioned  as  to  bis  object  in  being 
stowed  away,  and  who  brought  liim  on  board, 

eyes  that  looked  like  the  very  mirrors  of  truth,

the  unchristian  communication  with  polite  form-

government  was  prepared  at  any  hazard  to  vin- 
dicate it.  Their  precautions  were  superfluous, 
for  no  attempt  was  made.  The  populace  of 
Madrid  are  no  longer  what  they  were.  Rail-

This  can  ail  be  changed  by  using  Hagan's 
Magnolia  Balm,  which  gives  the  bloom  of 
youth  and  a  refined,  sparkling  beauty  to  the

Tliis  is  n  difliculty  which  would  have  been 
avoided  if  the  later  act  had  expressly  declared 
the  repeal  of  any  part  of  the  earlier.  But  in  so 
vital  a  matter  as  reconstruction  no  repeal  of  any 
restriction  ought  to  be  assumed ;  and  to  make 
that  assumption  still  less  proper  in  the  present 
case,  the  necessary  operation  of  the  new  Con- 
stitution, if  approved  by  Congress,  will  here- 
after, but  not  for  the  purposes  of  this  election, 
supersede  the  old  provisions.  The  act  of  April 
10  authorizes  an  election  for  Members  of  As- 
sembly simultaneously  with  the  vote  upon  the 
disfranchising  clause.  But  that  act  necessarily 
contemplates  the  election  of  members  qualified 
under  existing  laws,  not  of  those  to  be  qualified 
under  a  Constitution  which  may  or  may  not  be 
approved.  The  existing  laws  were  known,  and 
they  designated  who  might  vote  and  who  might 
be  voted  for.  If  they  were  disregarded,  it  was

THE  LOCOMOTIVE  AND  THE  COO. 

Among  the  minor  blessings  which  the  coun- 
try owes  to  the  Democratic  party  is  Judge 
M'Cunn,  of  New  York.  His  lofty  character, 
his  profound  legal  learning,  the  universal  re- 
all  shining  proofs  of  the  superior  claims  of  that 
party  to  the  control  of  the 'country.  Indeed, 
the  character  of  a  party  which  receives  its  pol- 
icy from  a  Sweeney,  which  calls  a  M'Cunn  to 
the  bench,  and  elects  an  A.  Oakey  Hall  for 
Mayor,  is  sufficiently  perceived  from  those  facts. 
Ex  pede  Herculem ;  given  M'Cunn,  you  may 
construct  the  Democratic  party.  This  party 
cherishes  a  peculiar  jealousy  of  the  national 
government,  and  asserts  very  stoutly  what  it  is 
pleased  to  call  State  sovereignty.  And  it  was 
only  natural  that  Judge  M'Cunn  should  at- 

subject  by  his  proceedings  in  the  late  case  of 
the  Texan  Pratt.  The  matter  was  promptly 
settled,  but  it  should  be  remembered. 

Pratt  was  arrested  upon  a  charge  of  abet- 
ting an  atrocious  murder  in  Texas  last  October, 
and  was  held  for  examination  by  the  United 
States  Commissioner.  A  writ  of  habeas  corpus 
was  issued  by  Judge  M'Cunn,  addressed  to  the 
jailer,  who  returned  answer  that  Pratt  was 
held  by  the  United  States.  The  Judge  then 
required  the  personal  appearance  of  Pratt  be- 
fore him.  The  United  States  officers,  not  rec-

New  Jersey  or  California  Judge  had  issued  bis 
writ  for  the  Marshal's  arrest  in  New  York,  would 
Mr.  Seward,  as  Governor,  have  called  out  all 
the  militia  to  enforce  the  writ  if  the  Marshal 
refused  to  acknowledge  it?  But  their  writ 
would  be  just  as  lawful  under  the  circum- 
stances as  Judge  M'Cunn's.  The  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  has  decided  that 
no  judicial  process  can  have  authority  beyond 
its  jurisdiction.      The  whole  affair  is  another 


The    ;

ciliatory until  the  audacious  attempt  of  a  Judge 
to  impede  the  execution  of  the  law.  Then  their 
conduct  was  firm  and  prompt  in  asserting  the 
just  authority  of  the  United  States.

Senator  Siii;um.\n,  of  Ohio,  also  has  given  his 
view  of  the  political  situation.     He  claims  that 

penditures  within  the  appropriations,  and  that 
a  firm  policy  will  without  difficulty  pay  the 
debt  within  twenty  years.  The  condition  of 
the  currency,  in  Mr.  Sherman's  judgment,  is 
due  to  the  timidity  of  public  opinion  which 
opposes  its  reduction  j  and  he  holds  that  the 
responsibility  can  not  be  charged  upon  any 
party.  He  thinks  the  discussion  of  a  tariff 
useless,  because  at  present  there  is  an  undoubt- 
ed preference  of  an  indirect  to  a  direct  tax. 
The  present  tariff  is  designed  to  raise  about 
$150,000,000  upon  importations;  and  its  pro- 
tection is  purely  incidental,  and  not  so  great  as 
to  prevent  a  healthy  competition  between  for- 
eign and  domestic  manufacturers.  Mr.  Sher- 
man sums  up  his  views  upon  this  point  in  these 
words:  "The  question  of  protection  is  purely 
incidental ;  and  until  our  debt  is  so  reduced 
that  we  may  largely  reduce  our  taxc3,  it  is  idle 
to  discuss  the  mere  policy  of  protection  as  a 
measure  of  national  economy.      It  is  enough 


ful  and  dextrous  avoidance  of  the  exact  ques- 
tion, which  is  the  true  method  of  levying  duties?

The  vicar  declined  Mr.  Lovegrove's  proffered 
hospitality,  and  went  back  to  his  dingy  hotel 
chamber  to  read  Clara's  letter  in  solitude. 

The  letter  was  short  and  simple.  It  appealed 
to  him,  on  the  ground  of  old  friendship,  not  to 
ile.  lint-  the  trust  imp..-cd  on  him, 

"My  husband's  relatives,"  thus  it  ran,  "have 
long  been  estranged  from  us.     Papa  and  poor 

little  and  care  less  about  me  or  mine,  possess 
my  old  home.  My  sister,  Lady  Tallis,  is  child- 
less, and  she  would  gladly  adopt  my  little  one, 
and  would,  I  well  know,  be  tender  and  kind  to 
the  orphan.  But  her  unhappy  domestic  circum- 
stances render  this  impossible.  Neither,  to  say 
truth,  is  Hilda's  husband  a  man  beneath  whose 
roof  I  should  like  my  daughter  to  be  brought  up, 
even  were  he  willing  to  permit  it.  Hilda  has 
her  own  troubles.  1  mention  these  things,  not 
in  any  spirit  of  bitterness,  but  simply  that  you 
mav  understand  how  utterly  friendless  my  Maud 
will  be  when  I  am  gone;  for  I  know  her  help- 
lessness will  appeal  strongly  to  your  kind  heart."

But  now  that  Maud  was  to  go  to  school  Ve- 
ronica declared  that  she  would  accompany  her; 
and  she  did  so.     And  between  their  home  and 

e  quiet  Danecester  school  the  two  girls  passed 

reral  vears  of  their  lives. 

During  the  long   Midsummer   holidays  they

These  narratives,  and  many  more,  did  Maud 
and  Veronica  greedily  devour.  Maud  believed 
them  with  the  same  sort  of  good  faith  with  which 
she  threw  herself  into*  Aladdin,  or  the  exquisite 
fancies  of  Undine.  She  was  willing  to  accept

odds  with  the  general  notion,  of  their  neighbors 
as  to" what  was  becoming  in  the  household  of  a 
clergyman. 

In  the  first  place,  Mr.  Levincourt  was  entirely 
devoid  of  the  least  tincture  of  what  may,  without 
offense;  be  called  professional  parsonism.  It  is 
by  no  means  asserted  that  lie  was  altogether  the

that  were  not  dull.  The  hosts  sent  their  car-

a  great  distance  from  Shipley.  Or  a  lumbering 
old  chaise  was  hired  from  the  Crown  at  Shipley 
Magna, 

Hut  gradually  such  intercourse  dropped.  Mrs. 
Levincourt  was  not  strong.  Mrs.  Levincourt  did 
not  care  for  dinner-parties.  Mrs.  Levincourt 
had  her  little  girl  to  attend  to.  The  feet  was,

little  church  bore  an  inscription  to  her  memory. 
And  since  her  death  he  had  occasionally  felt 
Aiuch  retrospective  sympathy  with  his  wife. 

"Poor  Stella!"  he  said  again;  and,  shutting 
the  door  behind  him,  he  walked  down  the  gravel 
pathway,  passed  through  the  iron  wicket,  crossed 
the  paddock,  and  proceeded  thus  through  St. 
Gildas's  church-yard  toward  the  village. 

It  was  not  a  day  to  loiter  in.  It  had  snowed 
n  good  deal  the  previous  night,  but  since  ten 
o'clock  that  morning  a  steady  thaw  had  set  in. 
The  roads  were  deep  in  mud,  whose  chill  pene- 
trated the  stoutest  shoe-leather.  An  ice-cold 
dew  seemed  to  exude  from  every  thing  one 
touched,  and  the  sky  spread  a  lead-colored  cano- 
V»v  from  horizon  to  zenith. 

Mr.  Levincourt  made  for  the  school-house. 
this  was  a  bare  Iath-and-plaster  building,  erect- 
day-school.  The  present  incumbent,  while  ad- 
hering to  its  founder's  first  intention,  had  found 
an  additional  use  for  the  whitewashed  school- 
room. It  served,  namely,  as  a  place  for  the 
choir  of  St.  t.ildas  to  practice  in. 

Before  Mr.  Levincourt's  day  the  music  at  di- 
vine service  in  St.  Gildas  consisted  solely  of  por- 
tion* uf  Tate  and  Mrady,  bawled

He  resolved  to  amend  tl 
himself  that  he  would  find  support  and  encour

loth  to  be  amended  in  Shipley  as  in  most  othe 
places ;  and  Mr.  Levincourt's  first  attempts  t< 
teach  them  harmony  resulted  in  discord  dire. 

By  degrees  he  lowered  his  pretensions.  Hi 
had  begun  with  high-flown  ideas  of  foreign  mass 
music  adapted  to  English  words.  Then,  somi 
of  the  simpler  compositions  of  our  English  eathe 
dral  writers  were  attempted.  At  length  he  re 
solved  to  he  satisfied  with  Martin  Luther's  Hymn 
and  Adestc  Fideles,  sung  in  parts.  Things  be 
gan  to  go  better.  The  younger  generation

They  paused  at  the  open  door  of  the  room 
where  Azalea  lay,  and  for  some  minutes  stood 
in  silent  contemplation  of  the  scene  before  them. 

the  time  was  snn.-et,and  the  face  of  the  dead 
was  all  aglow  with  .he  red  light ;  the  fair  girlish 
countenance  wore  an  express;on  of  ineffable  pa- 
thos. I  he  soft,  small  mouth  was  partly  open, 
and  drooped  at  the  corners.  The  brows  were 
slightly  contracted.  Azalea  looked  to  be  weary 
even  in  death.  Her  hands  ha*  been  crossed 
over  her  bosom,  but  one  was  now  displaced ;

"He  is  an  old  man,  that  Mr.  Douglas.  I  sup- 
pose he  has  acted  in  the  place  of  a  father  to  the 
deceased,"  the  clergyman  remarked  to  his  clerk, 
when  derubing  him-cll  io  the  vestry. 

"  He  did  not  look  so  a  year  ago ;  he  has  got 
shrunk  and  bent  lately.  1  don't  think  he's  past 
the  prime  of  life,"  said  the  clerk,  who  was  him-

Very  lovely  in  her  fatigue  Lady  Diana  looked 
as  she  leaned  back  in  her  chair;  her  shoulders 
brought  into  dazzling  relief  by  the  dark  crimson 
back-ground  ;  her  eyes  half  closed,  her  under  lip 
drooping,  and  revealing  a  pearly  gleam  of  teeth.

added,  with  a  significant  glance  at  Rosa,  who 
was  engaged  in  an  animated  conversation  with  a

inexperienced  and  simple  to  know  how  to  defend

CHAPTER  XLVIIL 

Orme  House  was  the  wonder  and  admiration 
of  Marine  Parade  on  this  the  evening  of  Miss 
Orme's  wedding-day.  The  windows  sparkled 
with  light,  and  the  air  was  glad  with  jubilant 
music.  Even  the  ragged  children  in  the  street 
were  infected  by  the  spirit  of  rejoicing  breathed 
by  the  festal  strains;  and  they  took  hands  and 
whirled  round  in  circles  on  the  pavement  m  un- 
couth imitation  of  the  gliding  shadows  within.

All  the  near  friends  of  the  family  were  present ;

gently. 

"I  was  thinking  that,  should  I  ever  meet  in 
Paradise  the  two  women  my  life  was  linked  with 
on  earth,  her  whom  I  most  loved  I  should  have

whom  I  did  ma.  -n  much  care." 

"Lord  Orme,"  Lady  Diana  said,  with  sudden 
energy,  "  why  should  you  not  marry  again  ?"     , 

"And  marry  me,"  she  concluded,  leaning  to- 
ward him,  and  trying,  with  all  the  power  of  each 
expressive  feature,  to  make  him  feel  her  beauty. 
"You  arc  alone — and  I  am  alone;  you  are  no

gave  an  upward  glance  at  the  brilliant  lustres  of, 
a  chandelier — "he  would  approve  my  choice."

In  the  first  place,  wholesome  food  in  sufficient 
but  not  excessive  quantity,  and  containing  the  re- 
quisite proportions  of  tissue-making  and  heat-pro- 
ducing materials,  must  be  taken  at  proper  inter-

Let  Ki  Hi  pass,  you  silly  fool-^- 
He'll  not  be  in  your  way,  Sir. 

And  show  you  all  his  tricks.  Sir; 
That  done — why,  you  can  leave  off  work, 
And  only  carry  bricks,  Sir. 

And  you.  John   Bull,  don't  strain  yourself, 

And  of  Hold  Henglund  prate.  Sir; 
For  when  he  comes,  depend  upon't, 

You'll  sit  in  royal  state,  Sir; 
Drink  'arf-and-'arf,  and  read  the  news, 

And  tell  us  all  the  Aggers — 
How,  down    in    Aby-ynny   there, 

You  British  whipped  the  niggers. 

Monsieur  Crapaud,  my  friend  in  red, 
You  need  not  feel  alarmed,  Sir; 

The  glory  of  the  "nation  grande" 
Will  not  the  least  be  harmed,  Sir. 

01"  equal  power  and  equal  rights 
Y'ou  yet  may  see  the  day,  Sir; 


Let    Ki   Hi 


.  away,  Sir. 


And  you,  my  blue-eyed  plodding  coz, 

dust  landed  from  the  Rhine,  Sir, 
You'll  soon  have  leisure  on  your  hands 

To  sing  away  your  time,  Sir; 
For  in  the  shops  or  on  the  land 

He'll  do  your  work  quite  clever, 
While  you   lay  ofi'.  and  treat  the  vrow, 

And  lager  swill  forever. 


x  wane  a  word  with  you,  Sir; 
So  come  along,  my  dusky  friend, 

Au<[   bring  your  banjo  too,  Sir. 
Quick — heel  and  toe — and  reel  it  off; 

I  vow,  you're  quite  amazing. 
Now  sun   yourself  the  rest  o'  the  day, 

While  Ki  Hi  does  the  slaving. 

For  by  Jerusalem  I  swar, 

lie's   just   the  mome  pow'r  we  want 


Would  1 


nighty  scandal. 


So,  Ki   Hi,  bring  your  spade  and   pick. 

And.  while  you  dig  or  strike,  Sir, 
I'll  sit  and  whittle  all  the  day, 

And  fix  things  as  I  like,  Sir. 
Then,  first,  we'U  turn  the  country  round- 

The   bulks  is  always  jangling — 
And  make  the  Southern  eend  the  North 

To  stop  their  cussid  wrangling. 

Next,  we  might  level  off  the  farm 

(When  you've  had  time  to  rally) 
And   dump   the    l.ocky  Mountains'down 

In  Mississippi's  valley. 
But,  first  and  foremost  of  the  hull, 

You  bet,  I've  got  the  notion, 
We'll  build  a  bridge  from  Cubey  hum 

Across  the  Atlantic  Ocean.

THE  action  of  the  late  Democraitc  Conven-

Mr.  Adams  differed  with  his  party  n

of  New  England,"  telling  bis  followers 


rnplete  the  entertainment  at  the 
Convention,    Mr.  Woodbury, 

announced  that  the  Democratic

IS  CUBA  W  THE  MARKET? 

"  Reliable  authority"  is  very  busy  with  the 
Cuban  question,  and  the  English  and  French 
papers  are  disclaiming  in  advance  any  jealousy 

Cuba  and  the  United  States.  Meanwhile  the 
Albany  Argus  naively  suggests  that  mdepend- 

resolution  of  the  revolutionary  Congress  at  Si- 
bancon  on  the  13th  of  April,  General  Cespedes 
presiding,  that  Cuba  is  fighting  for  independ- 

States.  The  most  persistent  and  really  inter- 
ested workers  for  the  Cuban  cause  in  this  coun- 
try aim  at  annexation  through  independence. 
The  proposal  of  the  purchase  of  the  island  is 
transparent.     The  guarantee  of  Cuban  bonds

for  reimbursement  ?  General  Cespedes,  who  is 
the  Revolutionary  chief,  declares  for  annexation, 
and  the  leaders  unanimously  approve.  Does 
that  look  like  an  independent  Cuba?  If  the

LADY  BYRON'S  STORY. 


of  Lord  and  Lady  Byron.  It  has  been 
cussed  with  as  much  feeling  as  the  event  it 
when  it  occurred;  and  from  the  tone  of  m 
of  the  remarks  upon  the  subject  it  might 
supposed  that  Sirs.  Stowe  had  been  guilti 
some  very  grave  offense  in  making  public  L 
Byron's  statement— as  if  the  truth,  howt 
shocking,  must  not  be  told  of  Lord  Byron 
cause  he  was  a  great  poet  and  has  been  long 
dead. 

Lord  Byron,  one  of  the  most  worthless  and 
unprincipled  of  men,  always  asserted  that  he 
did  not  know  the  cause  of  the  separation.  He 
did  not  hesitate  to  overwhelm  his  wife  with  sat- 
ire and  ridicule  before  the  world.  No  man 
with  the  least  pretense*  to  the  character  of  a 
gentleman  and  man  of  honor  was  ever  guilty  of 
more  wanton  and  disgraceful  conduct  toward  a 
silent  and  defenseless  woman,  and  she  his  wife. 
But  her  very  silence  was  imputed  to  her  as  a 
crime.  Not  to  contradict  the  "  ten  or  twenty" 
different  explanations  that  Macaulay  says  were 
offered,  and  which  bore  heavily  upon  Byron, 
was  declared  to  be  malignant  persecution  upon 


Having  been  reviled  for  keeping  silence,  Lady 
Byron  is  now  reviled  for  speaking.  It  was  cold- 
hearted  malice  not  to  speak  before  ;  it  is  odious 
slander  or  insanity  to  speak  now.     The  fact  is, 

life  of  Lord  Byron  and  Mrs.  Leigh  was  the 
purest  humanity ;  and  it  will  be  very  difficult 
to  disprove  the  story     "   " 


And 


Mrs.  Stowe's  version  of  it  — the  general  ac- 
curacy of  which,  however,  we  have  no  reason 
to  question,  for  the  facts  of  Lady  Bybon's  rep- 
memoranda  ;  but  we  mean  the  reason  that  Lady 
Byron  gives  for  the  separation.  Evidently  this 
is  not  now  told  for  the  first  time,  although  it  is 
now  first  made  universally  public.  Mrs.  Stowe 
says  it  has  been  long  known  to  many  persons  in 
England.     ™ 


years  ago.  And  we  know  it  to  have  been  told 
at  a  literary  party  in  Edinburgh  more  than  thir- 
ty years  ago  by  a  gentleman  of  some  literary 
distinction,  But  it  was  hooted  by  the  com- 
pany, and  the  gentleman  was  judged  to  have 
committed  a  great    wrong   in   repeating   the 

The  disclosure  is  shocking,  as  that  of  all 
enormous  guilt  is—but  there  is  nothing  in  it 
which  is  essentially  improbable;  and  if  the 
charge  were  true  of  any  man  of  his  time,  of 
none  was  it  more  likely  to  be  true  than  of 
Byron.  That  Lady  Byron  believed  it,  there 
can  be  no  doubt  «aud  as  little  that  it  was  th 
substance  of  her  statement  to  Dr.  Ldshington 
nor  is  there  any  doubt  that  he  believed  he 
representations.  In  his  letter  to  her,  writtei 
in  1830,  he  does  not  say  that  he  qualified  his 
advice  by  any  it's  or  buts.  "When  you  came 
to  town— in  about  a  fortnight  or  perhaps  more 
after  my  first  interview  with  Lady  Noel  [the 
mother  of  Lady  Byron] — I  was  for  the  first 
lime  informed  by  you  of  facts  utterly  unknown, 
ii>  I  have  no  doubt,  to  Sir  Ralph  and  Lady 
Noel.  On  receiving  this  additional  informa- 
tion my  opinion  was  entirely  changed — I  con- 
sidered a  reconciliation  impossible.  I  declared 
my  opinion,  and  added  that,  if  such  an  idea 
should  be  entertained,  I  could  not,  either  pro- 
fessionally or  otherwise,  take  any  part  toward 
effecting  it."  Here  is  not  the  least  intimation 
of  doubt.  It  is  evident  that  Dr.  Ldshington 
believed  what  Lady  Byron  told  him ;  and,  as 
we  have  said,  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  she 
told  him  in  1816  what  she  told  Mrs.  Stowe  in 
3  85G.  That  Lady  Byron  was  deceived  is  most 
improbable ;    for  Dr.  Lusiiington  would  not 


•IE,  and  the  light  tone  of  t 


On  the  other  hand,  Mrs.  Stowe's  sttttemont 
of  the  reasons  why  Lady  Byron  was  willing 
that  the  truth  should  bo  finally  known  must 
be  received  as  satisfactory;  ami",  although  that 
was  not  her  object,  every  honorable  mind  will 
be  glad  that  she,  who,  by  the  accident  of  her 
relations  with  Lord  Byron,  must  be  always 
conspicuous  so  long  as  his  genius  enchants  the 
world,  will  not  live  iu  the  immortality  of  ridi- 
cule with  which  that  genius  had  invested  her. 
It  is  desirable  that  all  the  truth  should  he 
known  even  about  great  men.  If  Shake- 
speare had  committed  a  brutal  murder  no- 
thing could  be  gained  by  concealing  it ;  and 
if  the  charge  were  now  first  made,  the  weight 
of  the   evidence  should  be   regarded   rather 


once  heard  a  very  distinguished  poet  rating 
Mr.  Parton  soundly  for  saying  in  the  North 
American  Review  that  Daniel  Webster  some- 
times appeared  upon  the  platform  evidently  the 
worse  for  liquor.  But  Cromwell  was  wiser 
who  told  the  painter  not  to  omit  the  warts  in 
taking  his  likeness.  We  should  not  consider 
the  writer  a  hyena  rooting  among  graves  who 
should  give  us  a  solution  of  the  relation  of 
Swift  and  Stella  as  authentic  as  that  which 
Mrs.  Stowe  has  given  us  of  the  Byron  sepa- 


INDUSTRY  AT  THE  SOUTH. 

Upon  the  whole,  the  most  copious  and  ad- 
mirable report  of  the  condition  of  the  cotton 
culture  and  cultivators  in  the  Southern  States 
is  that  just  issued  by  Messrs.  Loring  &  At- 
kinson, cotton  brokers  of  Boston,  who  sent 
several  hundred  circulars  to  intelligent  cotton 
planters  every  where  in  the  South,  and  who 
now  publish  a  careful  digest  of  the  answers. 
The  report  is  a  neat  pamphlet  of  nearly  two 
hundred  pages,  and  it  may  be  very  profitably 
studied  as  a  faithful  representation  both  of 
facts  and  feelings.

very  rapidly  reduced  by  the  greater  reckloss-

development  of  the  cotton  fields— it  is  that  gen- 
•'i'"l  Mili-llim-iirc  uliirh  nndorsl U  the  ry la- 
houses,  churches,  railroads,  machinery,  and  iho 
spirit  that  fosters  these,  are  essentia!  to  the 
best  and  increasing  cotton  crops.  Tranquillity 
and  security  are  the  indispensable  conditions 
of  industrial  improvement,  and  therefore  the 
general  disgust  with  "politics"  expressed  in 
the  letters  is  welcome  as  a  sign  that  this  is  be- 
coming generally  understood.  Persons  like 
Wade  Hampton  and  John  Forsyth  are  the 
real  enemies  of  large  cotton  crops;  for  they 
promote  the  agitated  condition  which  deters

The  case  is  the 


y  of  the  Union  men.  General  A.  J.  Ham- 
on  is  supported  by  the  Democrats  and  a 
Republicans,  the  hope  of  the  mass  of  his 
pni-iers  being  to  demoralize  and  destroy  [he 
.ublican  organization. 

.'he  platform  of  the  Republicans  is  firm  and. 
icious.  It  accepts  heartily  the  conditions  of 
instruction  ;  it  pledges  the  party  to  the  sup- 
Fifteenth  ameud- 


and  the  unfortnnate  personal  habits  of  General 
Hamilton  are  openly  discussed  in  the  papers 
While,  therefore,  all  the  Democratic  votes  cast 
Will  be  for  him,  it  is  very  doubtful  if  he  polls 
the  full  Democratic  strength. 

In  the  Galveston  Congressional  district  Gen- 
eral W.  T.  Clark  has  been  unanimously  nom- 
inated by  the  Republicans,  and  has  accepted  in 
a  manly,  generous,  and  discreet  letter  Gen- 
eral Clark  was  the  beloved  personal  friend 
and  chief  of  staff  of  General  M'Phekson,  and 
is  one  of  the  kind  of  men  who  will  give  a  new 
and  better  life  to  his  adopted  State.  He  and 
his  friends  in  Texas,  who  are  trying  to  secure 
at  the  polls  what  they  won  in  the  field,  are  most 
worthy  the  hearty  sympathy  and  material  as- 
sistance of  Republicans  every  where.

poses  of  the  theories  that  Lady  Byron  was  jeal- 
ous or  of  failing  faculties. 

Apart  from  this,  Lady  Byron's  direct  as- 

Bions  that  he  ardently  desired  an  investigation, 
and  that  he  had  not  the  least  suspicion  of  the 
cause  of  the  separation.  Lady  Byron's  state- 
ment fully  justifies  her  silence,  and  explains  the 
life  that  Byron  led  after  leaving  England, 
rhe  chief  difficulty  in  Mrs.  Stowe's  report  of 
the  circumstances  is,  that  Lady  Byron  is  rep- 
resented as  living  with  her  husband  after  she 
knew  the  intrigue,  ami  as  actually  discussing  it 
with  him.  That  she  loyed  him  devotedly  is 
unquestionable,  and  that  love  suffereth  all

consequences.     Indeed,  there  is  a  general 
pression  upon  the  part  of  the  writers,  evid 
ly  with  certain  Jamaica  precedents   in  their 
minds,  that  the  negroes  will  gradually  or  even 
rapidly  relapse  into  barbarism. 

The  truth  probably  is  that,  as  the  worse  and 
weaker  part  of  the  laboring  population  perishes, 

most  vigorous  part  of  the  present  stock,  and  by 
copious  immigration.  "The  South"  is  pecul- 
iarly adapted  for  the  growth  of  the  best  cotton 
in  the  world.  Yet  the  area  now  devoted  to  it 
is  not  more  in  proportion,  Mr.  Edward  At-

However  satisfactory  the  material  i

slave  cotton  culture  in  contrast  with  the  pres- 

ent temporary  and  experimental  and  disturbed 

system,  yet  slave  labor  was  always  most  sloth- 

ful, wasteful,  and  stationary.     With  the  intro- 

duction of  free  labor  the  proved  conditions  and 

resources  of  free  labor  must  also  be  introduced : 

small  farms,  improved  implements,  and  intelli- 

gent and  interested  industry.     .It  is  among  the 

economical  follies  of  slavery  that  it  can  not 

avail  itself  of  intelligence  ;  and  he  was  an  un- 

necessary optimist    who    imagined    that   men 

spoiled  by  being  deprived  of  freedom  would, 

upon  regaining    it,  simultaneously  regain   all 

the  faculties,  sagacities,  and  impulses  of  free- 

dom.    When  a  man's  leg  has  been  broken,  it 

is  with  infinite  pain  that  he  puts  it  again  to  the 

ground,  even  when  the  bone  has  knit.     But  to 

expect  of  the  just  freed  slave  the  work  of  the

From  Hammick  Lodge,  Joe  Dowsett  brought

It  appeared  that  the  acquaintance  between

3  slightest  possible  kind.  They  had  met  in

the  Campagna.  Lord  George  knew  nothing 
latever  of  the  gentleman's  family.  His  name 
is  Gale,  Sir  John  Gale.  Lord"  Gem-go  was 
deeply  distressed  that  the  vicar  of  Shipley  and 
"  ~  nily  should  be  so  seriously  inconvenienced 
by  this  accident.  At  the  same  time  he  could

the  lowest  terms,  and  although  he  approved  a 
tariff  for  defense,  he  way  opposed  to  a  national 
system  of  internal  improvements  and  magnifi- 
cent enterprises.  Long  before  General  Jack- 
son thought  of  the  Presidency,  Mr.  Calhoun, 
whose  general  political  philosophy  was  much 
less  sound  than  Jackson's,  had  fixed  his  heart 

chief  rival,  and  during  the  Presidency  of 
Monhoe  Mi-.  Calhoun  was  hostile  to  "the 
hero,"  who  did  not  suspect  it.  Jackson's 
election  presently  made  Calhodn  his  open 
enemy.  The  first  contest  between  them  was 
the  nullification  movement  of  1832.  Jackson 
was  honestly  a  Union  man,  and  heartily  de- 
spised as  well  as  disbelieved  the  Southern  the-

ed.  From  that  moment  the  Calhoun  element 
in  the  Democratic  party  grew  stronger,  until  it 
absolutely  controlled  it,  and  the  war  that  was 

The  conduct  and  event  of  the  war  proved 
that  the  people  rejected  the  Calhoun  theory 
while  they  destroyed  slavery,  for  whose  protec- 
tion the  theory  was  urged.  The  Democratic 
party,  as  a  party,  passively  opposed  the  war; 
and  at  its  end  the  party  organization  remained. 

There  were  the  party  traditions,  the  Southern 
alliance,  and  the  hatred  of  the  negro,  with  the 
old  party  leaders,  apologists  of  slavery,  and 
supporters  of  the  Virginia  and  Kentucky  reso- 
lutions—in fact,  the  Calhoun  men,  on  one  side ; 
and  on  the  other,  the  fresher  element  of  the 
party,  young  proselytes  who  held  philosophical- 

who  insisted  upon  abandoning  the  plainly  closed 
issues  of  the  last  generation.  Of  this  wing  the 
New  York  World  became  the  organ ;  a  journal 
skillfully  and  intelligently  managed,  but  whose 
tone  of  light  mockery  has  always  paralyzed  its 
influence  and  destroyed  its  power.

plaining  of  an  insufficiency  of  the  raw  material, 
and  are  making  powerful  efforts  to  increase  the 
growth  of  cotton  in  their  Indian  possessions ; 
but  they  suppose  that  the  present  high  price  of 
cotton  limits  consumption,  and  that  if  it  were 
reduced,  the  use  of  manufactures  would  in- 
crease in  the  same  proportion.

Manchester;  and  these  require  time  for  their 
development.  It  is  safe,  therefore,  to  urge 
upon  Southern  planters  to  go  on  vigorously 
with  this  great  industry. 

Until  the  new  crop  begins  to  come  forward, 
it  is  thought,  from  the  combined  influence  of

VACCINATION. 


I  years  before  an 
(ilouce-tershire  stumbled  upon 
iating,  if  not  altogether  arrestir 
l'o  be  more  precise,  the  existent 


tween  the  "epizootic"  in  cattle  and  small-pox  in 
man  was  noted  by  Italian  writers  before  Jenner 
announced  his  belief  that  the  two  maladies  were 
identical.  Subsequent  experiments  have  con- 
clusively proven  the  validity  of  this  hypothesis.

vesicles  of  the  kine-pox  proper,  and  found  thai 
the  lymph  from  these  retained  its  specific  power 
afterseventy-fivesuceessive  transmissions  through 
human  subjects.  Among  the  resides  of  other  in- 
teresting experiments  it  may  be  stated  that  hu- 
man small-pox  has  been  transmitted  through  the 
horse  to  the  cow,  and  from  the  latter  children 
have  been  vaccinated  with  gennine  cow-pox; 
and  furthermore,  that  when  a  cow  is  inoculated 
with  vurvhic  matter  from  a  human  arm,  the  lymph 
produced  in  her  has  comparatively  little  activity, 
Inn  gains  intensity  by  successive  transmissions 
ihiougl]  human  subjects. 
It  seems  certain,  from  these  and  other  data, 


ing  the  twenty  years  from  1817  to  1S.17  several 
epidemics  of  small-pox  visited  the  West  Indies, 
but  among  the  British  troops  stationed  there  (an 
aggregate  strength  of  8G,Gb'l  whites  and  40,!)34 
blacks),  out  of  a  total  mortality  of  0803,  there 
was  not  a  single  death  from  that  disease.  Sta- 
tistics of  this  sort  might  be  adduced  almost  ad 


y,  in  the  face  of  all  these  facts, 
since  Jenner's  time,  a  dogged 
spirit  of  opposition  which  has  periodically  mani- 
fested itself  against  his  discovery;  and  at  the 
present  day,  more  particularly  in  England,  not 
only  the  ignorant  classes,  but  even  many  persons 
of  intelligence  and  culture,  have  declared  open 
and  organized  hostility  to  vaccination,  and  ac- 
cuse it  of  committing  ravages  worse  than  those 
of  tho  disease  which  it  supplants.  According  to 
popular  belief,  scrofula,  consumption,  fevers  of 
various  kinds,  erysipelas,  and  indeed  nearly  all 
the  ills  that  flesh  is  heir  to,  are  transmitted  by 
vaccine  lymph;  tho  more  intelligent  opponents 

medical  men,  confine  their  argument  to  the  pos- 
sibility of  communicating  syphilis  and  certain 
forms  of  skin-disease.  The  first  of  these  theories 
is  thus  clearly  answered  in  the  recent  work  of 
Professor  Niemeyer,  than  whom  no  higher  au- 
thority on  such  subjects  exists  ■

a  perfectly  healthy  child;  and  sometimes  chil- 
dren remain  perfectly  healthy  after  being  vac- 
cinated with  lymph  from  a  decidedly  scrofulous 
child.  The  occurrence  of  scrofula  after  vaccina- 
tion seems  to  be  due  to  the  debilitating  influence 
of  the  fever  accompanying  the  vaccina,  and  the 
prominence  of  the  exanthema  among  these  scrof- 
ulous affections  appears  to  depend  on  the  dis- 
order of  the  skin,  artificially  induced  at  the  point 
of  vaccination.  At  least,  other  febrile  diseases, 
an  well  as  all  tlehihtntiiHj  affections  occurring  in 
young  children  with  a  tendency  to  scrofula,  have 
the  same  influence  in  developing  this  disease  that

THE  FIFTEENTH  AMENDMENT. 

AS  we  suggested  last  week,  the  resolution 
of  both  wings  of  the  Democratic  party  at 
the  North  to  resist  the  Fifteenth  Amendment 
gives  a  peculiar  and  unexpected  importance  to 
the  political  situation.  Thnt  amendment  pro- 
vides that  no  State  shall  disfranchise  n  citizen 
hy  reason  of  color,  and  it  is  opposed  upon  two 
grounds:  first,  that  the  subject  should  not  bo 
regulated  by  the  National  Government;  and, 
second,  that  colored  citizens  ought  not  to  he  al- 


frage  should  bo  determined  by  the  National 
Government,  it  is  certainly  not  improper  that 
tin.-  pi-i'jilo  -dirndil  he  ii.-ked  to  decide  the  ques- 
tion in  tlio  manner  that  they  bnvo  themselves 
provided.  Consequently  the-  assertion  of  the 
Ohio  Democratic  pin  i  form  that"  the  attempt 
to  regulate  suffrage  in  Ohio  by  means  of  the 


liniisparctit   folly.      The  Fed- 


Ciniatitiiiinii,  so  to  speuk,  is  that  it  shall  be  sl 
preme  over  all  the  States  in  every  particulc 
that  shall  seem  expedient  Tor  the  general  we. 
fare.     Thus,  the  Thirteenth  Amendment  foi 

teenth  secures  the  equal  civil  rights  of  ever 
citizen  of  the  United  States  in  nil  the  States 
and  the  Fifteenth  proposes  to  prohibit  unrei 


i.tliage  I'.. muled  upon  color?  l'ii.|no-[iomiblv 
iot,  because  nothing  is  gained  by  it  but  the 
Tntitiemion  of  n  prejudice.  Color  does  not  de- 
ermine  intelligence  or  political  capacity.     The 


mc  of  color  is  contemptible  find 
apparently  the  Democratic  Cony 
State  will  declare  against  the  Fiftc 
ncnt,  and  against  the  provision  of 


the   suffrage.     It 
and  intelligent  citi- 

of  a  parly  pledged 


Ohio  will,  undoubtedly,  reject  Mr.  I'ls- 
of  him   and   ul    his  rt-pudiatu  n  r      If 


it  is  likely  to  be  improved  by  being  composed 
entirely  or  in  a  majority  of  such  members  ns 
the  city  of  New  York  now  sends.  The  Repub- 
lican party  is  the  friend  of  the  Fifteenth  Amend- 
ment, of  the  national  faith,  of  equal  suffrage  in 
this  State,  of  a  strict  registry,  and  of  the  utmost 
protection  of  the  ballot-box  against  fraud  of

t,  until  accepted,  it  is  not  the  law  of  the

that  Congress  could  in-

It  is  plain  that  the  Legislature  is  not  a  Leg-

he  Attorney-General's  remarks,  does  "  under-

THE  LATE  GALE  IN  BOSTON. 

A  terrific  southeasterly  gale  visited  the  en- 

ing  of  September  8.  Before  nightfall  it  grew 
into  a  hurricane,  causing  great  damage  to  prop- 
erty, accompanied  with  loss  of  life.  The  Boston 
Common  was  literally  carpeted  with  foliage,  and 
a  few  trees  were  blown  down.  The  Old  Kim, 
however,  still  stands.  Awnings  were  torn  to 
shreds,  chimneys  were  thrown  down,  and  church- 
es aod  other  edifices  were  unroofed. 

One  of  our  illustrations  on  page  G12  shows 
the  effects  of  the  gale  upon  the  Coliseum,  in 
wltich  the  grand  musical  festival  or  Peace  Jubi- 
lee was  held  last  .July.  This  once  imposing 
building  is  now  little  better  than  a  mere  wreck, 
and  its  ruinous  and  dismantled  condition  gives

Under  these  circumstances,  it  may  be  easilv 
imagined  that  we  are  as  free  from  the  vices  of 
the  great  as  we  are  without  their  privileges;  and 
this  was,  I  honestly  believe,  the  case  until  with- 
in a  very  recent  period.  When  I  used  to  read 
in  the  papers  that  the  Lady  Day  Coltav  (of  Nor- 
man ancestry  and  bluest  blood)  had  left  her  hus- 
band's roof,  and  fled  with  Major  Fhittei  by  of  the 
Life  Guards;  or  that  it  was  rumored  among  well- 
informed  circles  that  the  gentlemen  of  the  long 
robe  would  soon  find  employment  in  the  domes- 
tic affairs  of  his  Grace  the  Duke  of  Belgrnvin,  I 
used  to  give  a  prolonged  whistle,  and  remark : 
"Here  they  are  again."  in  genera!  reference  to 
the  habits  of  the  haut  ton.  I  knew  that  our  he- 
reditary aristocracy  were  given  to  these  esca- 
pades, which  in  my  own  rank  of  life  Mould  cer- 
tainly be  crimes,  and  I  perused  such  details  as 
the  press  could  furnish  with  an  avidity  unalloy- 
ed, I  am  afraid,  with  much  reprobation.  I  seem- 
ed to  ho  reading  of  a  class  of  persons  whose  way 
of  life  was  too  far  removed  from  my  own  to  affect 

to  the  play  I/ouiid  myself  in  an  atmosphere  of 
intrigue,  and  misunderstanding,  and  jealousy,  al- 
together unreal,  and  with  which  I  had  not  the 
ghost  of  an  experience  in  common.

that  passion  should  entertain  me.  Misunder-

The  vicar  was  delighted  with  his  guest.  Mr. 
Levincourt  declared  that  he  telt  like  some  ship- 
age  island,  and  to  whose  door  the  winds  and  the 
waves  had  drifted  a  stranger  from  the  distant 

land- of  civilization.

that  we  were  three  shipwrecked  mariners.  A 
kind  of  Swiss  Family  Kobinson,"  observed  Ve- 
ronica, laughing. 

The  exaggeration  of  all  this  grated  on  Maud's 
common-sense.  But  she  repressed  the  protest 
which  trembled  on  her  lips. 

"  Maudie  looks  sagelv  disapproving,"  said 
Veronica,  glancing  at  her. 

"1  am  disapproving  myself,"  replied  Maud.

rolled  out  in  his  richest  tones,  proposed  the

in  iho  name  of  tho  Emperor,  and  is  signed  by 
Ihmher  and  countersigned  by  Duvergier.  Tho

gastrom  us  source,  over  a  distance  of  1'JIHJ  leer,  to 
the  factory.  Tho  gas  is  of  good  lighting  ipiality, 
and  when  it  is  not  wanted,  as  on  Sundays  and 
during  the  night,  it  is  led  up  r>.  high  shaft  and 
set  alight  ),r0  bono  jmbliw.  What  has  become 
of  the  burning  wells  once  known  in  England? 
Have  they  given  out  ?  or  is  their  gas  still  escap- 
ing? or  is  it  flowing  into  the  coal  mines,  to  the 
eiiduiigerment  of  the  miuers'  lives?  Supposing 
there  i>  Mill  uMipply,  is  it  worth  collecting  ?  Not 
now,  perhaps  ;  but  if  it  lasts,  its  time  may  come. 
A  power  that  not  only  may  be,  but  can  be 
now,  and  ought  to  be  utilized,  is  that  which  is 
derivable  from  the  rise  and  fall  of  tidal  waters. 
This  Is  one,  too,  that  especially  concerns  us,  see- 
ing the  extent  of  our  sea-board  utid  the  number 
of  our  tidal  rivers.  The  source  of  motion  that 
is  here  ottered  us  is  of  incalculable  extent;  it  is 


streams  to  be  employed.  Water-wheels  may  be 
turned  by  this  means,  whi'e  the  head  of  water 
gained  by  the  rising  tide  can,  if  properly  har- 
vested by  ponds  or  reservoirs,  be  made  to  drive 
other  wheels  und  machines  of  the  turbine  char- 
acter— a  class  of  movers  not  very  well  known  at 

sea-side  towns  and  fishing  villages  should  not 
be  the  seats  of  manufacture,  and  the  time  may 

not  be  carried  to  the  sea-coast  to  be  done,  there 
is  no  reason  why  the  power  should  not  be  trapped 
there,  and  conveyed  wherever  it  is  wanted.  We 
know  that  electric  wires  are  capable-  of  carrying 
considerable  amounts  of  motive  force  over  long 

needle  in  Edinburgh  ;  a  weak  cunent  generated 
at  the- Greenwich  Observatory  traverses  a  tele- 
graph line  Hud  pulls  the  trigger  of  a  gun  at  New-

It  has  been  tried, 

p'air.  highly  corn- 


powerful  element  of  nature  that  is  at  present 
wasting  itself  on  nothing,  or  else  doing  fearful 
damage.  What  a  grand  thing  it  would  be  if  the 
hurricane's  power  could  be  entrapped  and  made 
a  slave  of!  and  why  should  it  not  be?  Look 
at  what    the  wind    ha.   done    for    Holland,  and 


work,  a  willing  and  a 
powerful  servant,  wanting  only  tasks  set  before 
it.  True,  it  is  nm-.  niiltcnt,  coming  in  great 
force  when  it  is  not  wanted  ;  but  this  only  shows 
the  necessity  for  that  means  of  bottling  power, 
to  the  perfection  of  which  our  mechanics  ought 
to  be  looking. 

Electricity  is  often  spoken  of  as  a  power  that 
may  be.  We  have  alluded  to  it  as  a  medium 
for  transporting  power,  but  we  hesitate  to  dwell 

appears  of  any  means  of  generating  it  upon  a 
scale  of  cheapness  that  would  enuble  it  to  com- 
pete with  other  sources  of  energy.  If  we  are  to 
consume  mechanical  force  to  get  electricity,  as 
is  done  in  some  of  the  must  recent  electrical  gen- 
erators of  great  power,  we  might  ns  well  use  the 
original  force  at

Each  one  in  the  crowd  is  hieing 

Toward   a  retrograding  goal: 
All    thing-    hoarding,    leaping,    buying, 

Ever  longing,  ever  trying. 

For  some  bliss  we're  always  sighing, 

But   pos-essing,  find   it — what? 

That  for  which   our  souls  were  dying? 

No;   we  still  must  seek  for  that.

Ever  longing,  ever  sighing.

OUR  DUTY  TO  CUBA. 

THERE  was  never  a  public  question  of  im 
portance  enough  to  interest  the  press  of 
Europe  and  America  about  which  less  was  au 
thentically  known  than  the  Cuban  question 
It  seems  to  be  understood  that  the  Unitet 
States  Government  is  making  representation: 
to  that  of  Spain ;  but  nothing  is  certainly  known 
To-day  it  is  announced  that  a  distinct  propo 
sition  of  sale  and  guarantee  has  heen  offered 
To-morrow  it  is  ns  distinctly  denied.     One  mo 


umed  to  be  friendly 


Tolted,  in  1810,  the  United  States  remained  neu- 
tral. They  continued  so  for  twelve  years,  until 
the  colonies  were  not  only  independent  in  fact, 
but  there  was  no  prospect  of  their  ceasing  to  be 
so.  Twenty  years  and  more  passed,  however, 
before  Spain  acknowledged  the  fact.  During 
eU  this  time  the  United  States  maintained  the 
strictest  neutrality  with  the  frankest  expression 
of  sympathy  for  the  colonies  ;  and  they  depart- 
ed from  their  neutrality  only  when  an  organ- 
ized government,  fulfilling  all  its  functions,  had 
been  established. 

But  it  can  not  yet  be  truly  said  that  Cuba,  to 
use  President  Mosroe's  words  in  regard  to  the 
other  colonies,  has  "  declared  its  independence 
and  maintained  it. "  The  revolutionary  govern- 
ment of  Cuba  is  the  military  rule  of  the  revolu- 
tionary Commander-in-chief.  The  ports  of  the 
island  and  the  large  towns  have  not  yet  acknowl- 
edged it.  General  Jordan,  of  the  Cuban  army,

There  is  still  another  consideration  which 
ought  not  to  be  forgotten.  We  have  called 
England  to  account  for  her  conduct  during  the 
late  rebellion  in  this    country,  and  none  are 

mand  that  we  shall  recognize  the  independence 
of  Cuba.  Let  ns  be  just  to  England,  however 
unfriendly  we  may  consider  her  conduct  to  have 
been.      During  four  years    the  Confederacy

should  not  hesitate  to  regard  recognition  as 
war.  Nevertheless  Lotns  Napoleon  urged 
England,  by  the  joint  recognition  of  both  na- 
tions, to  end  a  hopeless  struggle  upon  the  part 
of  the  United  States.  Had  England  consent- 
ed, a  treaty  of  alliance  between  those  powers 
and  the  Confederacy  would  have  followed,  and 
our  difficulties  would  have  been  incalculably 
increased.     England  declined ;  France  would

POLITICAL  PROSPECTS. 
The  result  of  the  election  in  Maine,  where 
Governor  Chamberlain  is  re-elected  by  a  good 
majority,  shows  the  depth  and  extent  of  the 
feeling  which  would  make  a  separate  issue  of 
the  prohibitory  question.  It  is,  apparently, 
doubtful  whether  the  prohibitory  vote  in  Maine 
really  exceeds  five  thousand.  By  no  chance 
could  the  movement  have  done  more  than  elect 
the  Democratic  candidate  and  open  every  grog- 
shop without  restriction.  This  was  plainly  seen 
by  the  most  noted  and  influential  of  the  tem- 
perance leaders,  and  they  very  wisely  resolved

properly  be  imperiled?  This  .truth  was  cer-

The  result  in  Maine  also  shows  that  there  is

apparently,  unwilling  to  do  more  than  make 
such  changes  as  were  indispensable,  and  many 
amendments  which  experience  and  reason  justi- 
fied were  rejected  as  being  too  radical.  It  was 
impossible  also  to  exclude  party  considerations 
altogether.  But  with  every  objection  the  amend- 
ed Constitution  ought  to  be  adopted. 

The  first  in  importance  of  the  proposed 
changes  is  the  equality  of  the  suffrage.  The 
new  Constitution  abolishes  the  property  quali- 
fication for  colored  voters.  There  can  be  no 
argument  in  favor  of  this  qualification  which 
would  not  logically  lead  to  the  disfranchisement 
of  colored  citizens.  This  was  plain  enough 
from  the  speeches  of  Mr.  Mtjrphy  and  Mr. 
Cassidy  against  the  amendment,  which  pro- 
ceeded upon  the  ground  that  the  colored  citi- 

session  of  a  little  money  obviated  the  perils  at 
the  polls  arising  from  that  inferiority  neither 
those  gentlemen  nor  any  body  else  remembered 
to  state.  The  justice  and  expediency  of  re-

It  is  not  our  purpose  to  refer  to  the  iniquity  of 
fraudulent  naturalizations,  to  false  registry,  or 
to  the  voting  by  repeaters,  all  of  which  crim- 
inalities are  carried  on  to  a  great  extent,  but 
simply  to  those  frauds  which  are  perpetrated 
on  election-day  at  the  polls,  and  by  the  very 
men  who  are  appointed  to  protect  the  purity 
and  honesty  of  the  elections;  to  the  crimes 
against  the  principle  of  self-government  and 
republican  institutions,  which  have  made  our 
municipal  politics  a  reproach  and  by-word 
throughout  the  land.  We  shall  expose  only 
one  link  in  a  system  of  fraud  which  is  so  pow- 
erful in  its  various  ramifications  that  it  abso-

of  the  elections  are  appointed  by  the  Police 
Board,  which  is  nominally  a  non-partisan  body, 
composed  of  two  Democrats  and  two  Republic- 
ans. There  are  four  inspectors,  two  canvass- 
ers, and  two  poll-clerks  in  every  election  dis- 
trict, of  which  there  are  three  hundred  and 
forty  within  the  municipal  limits.  Of  these 
one-half  are  selected  from  among  the  Repub- 
licans, and  the  other  half  from  the  Democrats; 
and  were  this  selection  carefully  made,  a  per- 
fect security  would  be  obtained  against  fraud  ; 
but  by  reason  of  the  many  local  quarrels,  the 
running  of  independent  candidates,  the  schisms 
in  party  organizations,  and  the  united  interest 
of  rogues  to  deplete  the  city  treasury,  improper 
and  unfit  men  are  frequently  selected.  In  fact, 
this  is  carried  so  far  that  it  lias  become  a  com- 
mon expression  among  politicians  "that  the  can- 
vassers and  inspectors  have  been  promised  to 
certain  candidates  and  denied  to  others" — an 
expression  which  means  that  the  irregularities

side  to  the  other.  For  instance,  if

the  close  of  the  polls,  and  the  poll-clerks  keep 
the  records,  which  are  transmitted  immediately 
to  Police  Head-quarters,  and  subsequently  to 
the  Board  of  Supervisors,  who  are  ex  officiis 
county  canvassers,  and  whose  sole  duty  it  is  to 
compute  the  total  result  ciihcr  in  Assembly, 
Senatorial,  or  Aldermunic  districts,  and  give 
certificates  of  elections  to  those  candidates  who 
have  a  majority  in  all  the  election  districts  with- 
in their  precincts.  By  this  system  it  will  be 
perceived  that  frauds  by  the  canvassers  and  in- 
spectors, if  any  are  committed,  are  fatal,  and 
can  not  be  corrected  at  any  subsequent  stage 
of  the  proceedings.  The  law  requires  the  bal- 
lots to  be  returned  to  the  boxes,  and  the  boxes 
to  be  sealed  up  and  sent  to  the  station-houses; 
but  this  statute  is  practically  disregarded.  Con- 
sequently there  is  no  legal  mode  of  going  be- 
hind the  returns,  except  by  summoning  every 
voter — a  proceeding  that  is  manifestly  imprac- 
ticable. 

If  an  inspector  changes  the  ballot  which  is 
handed  to  him  nobody  can  prevent  his  doing 
so  ;  the  voter  may  protest,  but  if  he  makes  him- 
self offensive  he  will  be  ejected  by  the  police, 
under  the  orders  of  the  inspectors,  who  have 
control  in  such  matters  by  their  general  author- 
ity for  preserving  order  at  the  polls.  Cases 
frequently  occur  where  parties  objecting  to  the 
reception  of  illegal  ballots  have  been  arrested, 
while  those  depositing  them  have  been  permit- 
ted to  go  free,  and  any  protest  against  the 
tion  of  the  inspectors  leads  invariably  to  ar 
and  detention  in  the  station-house.  Inspectors 
have  been  known  deliberately  to  throw  away 
the  ballots  of  voters  and  openly  to  substitute 
others,  and  to  continue  doing  this  for  hours  in 
spite  of  all  remonstrances,  while  in  other  cases 
they  have  been  observed  to  effect  the  substitu- 
tion by  a  little  sleight-of-hand,  and  more  secret- 
ly. In  the  contested  election  case  of  M'Kie- 
ver  agt.  Whales,  the  following  evidence  was

Many 

itier  instances  equally  gross  could  be 

given,  hu 

these  are  sufficient  for  the  occasion. 

They  depend  not  upon  mere  opinion  or  com- 
mon rumor,  but  have  been  frequently  proved 
by  uncontradicted  evidence  in  open  court.    Bad 
as  they  are  they  do  not  equal  in  enormity  the 
frauds  committed  by  the  canvassers.     The  lat- 
ter officials,  as  soon  as  the  polls  close,  proceed 
to  count  the  votes.     This  is  usually  done  by 
taking  up  ten  votes  at  a  time  for  a  candidi 
and  calling  "tally;"   whereupon  the  entry 
made  in  his  favor  to  that  effect.     But  it  is 
unusual  thing  for  the  canvasser  to  take  fifteen 
votes  before  he  calls  "  tally"  for  one  mar 
require  only  five  for  the  opponent,  thus  m

nates  of  the 

hundred  are  transferred  to  Mr.  Brown,  while 

Mr.  Jones  is  only  allowed  the  three  hundred 

that  were  polled  in  favor  of  his  adversary.  By 
these  means  the  tally  between  the  poll-lists  and 

easier  operation  is  performed,  while  the  effect 
is  equally  conclusive.  So  far  and  accurately 
are  these  and  kindred  frauds  carried  out,  that 
certain  local  politicians  can  often  carry  a  dis- 
trict by  a  specified  majority  established  before- 
hand. In  one  case  a  Ninth  Ward  politician 
was  compelled  by  party  pressure  to  go  against 
a  friend  who  was  a  candidate,  but  promised  that 
the  district  should  be  given  to  the  opponent  by 
only  eight  majority ;  and  he  was  much  cha- 
grined and  made  many  apologies  because  by 
accident  the  majority  rose  to  twelve.  In  that 
case  there  were  seventy-five  actual  voters  in  the 
district,  but  the  returns  showed  over  four  hun- 
dred votes. 

Publicity  is  always  given  to  the  names  of  the 
canvassers  and  inspectors  who  are  selected  by 
the  Police  Board,  and  unobjectionable  men  are 
often  chosen  in  the  first  instance.  But  these 
are  changed  afterward  in  those  localities  where 
fraud  can  be  most  readily  perpetrated.  On  the 
day  preceding,  or  on  the  very  day  of  election, 
often  as  late  as  three  or  four  o'clock  in  the  aft- 
ernoon, tin?  canvassers  will  be  changed,  and 
some  tool  of  iniquity  substituted  for  a  good 
man.  There  is  no  time  for  appeal  or  protest 
argument  j  the  new  man  appears  with  his  writ- 
ten authority;  and  if  the  original  appointee 
makes  any  trouble  he  is  immediately  dragged 
away  by  the  police.  No  candidate  opposed  to 
the  regular  organizations  of  either  party  " 
for  a  moment.  He  may  imagine  that  he  has 
decent  and  honest  canvassers  and  inspectors, 
but  they  may  be  removed  at  any  moment  ant 
the  vilest  men  substituted.  In  this 
we  make  the  following  extract  from  the 
in  the  M'Kievek  case,  to  which  we  ha 
ready  referred :

election  district ;  far  otherwise  ;  this  would  be 
neither  desirable  nor  possible.  Elections  are 
rarely  carried  by  other  than  a  close  vote,  and 
the  manipulation  of  this  in  a  few  districts  will 
usually  answer  every  purpose  ;  where  it  will  not, 
the  regular  organizations  have  to  submit  to  a 
defeat.  But  if  any  of  our  readers  will  take  the 
trouble  to  go  to  Police  Head-quarters  on  election- 
night  they  will  find  a  number  of  horses  and  bug- 
gies waiting  there.     At  occasional  intervals  a

they  will  find  that  he 
where  the  proper  men  for  the  purpose  are  ii 
control,  and  that  he  gives  them  certain  direc- 
tions. The  returns  have  been  examined  a: 
they  come  in  at  head -quarters,  the  numbei 
of  votes  required  to  elect  has  been  ascertain- 
ed, and  the  orders  thus  secretly  given  are  tc 
make  up  that  number.  It  is  thus  that  free  ex- 
pression is  given  to  the  will  of  the  people  in  ths 
city  of  New  York,  and  Democratic  majoritie: 
are  rolled  up  which  overslaugh  the  votes  of  th( 
honest  Republicans  throughout  the  State.

presence  of  the  court.  Every  point 
have  specified  can  be  readily  sustained,  and  is 
perfectly  well  known  to  all  the  practical  work- 
ing politicians  of  the  city.  Nor  is  the  sole  in- 
jury traceable  to  the  direct  fraud,  but  is  a  con- 
sequence of  it  and  of  the  knowledge  of  the  im- 
possibility of  fighting  against  it.  People  become 
discouraged  when  they  feel  that  it  is  useless  tc 
struggle  against  a  superior  power ;  they  surren- 
der without  an  effort  when  they  are  assured  be- 
forehand that  such  an  effort  would  be  in  vain ; 
and  especially  are  the  smaller  politicians  certain 
tosubmit  to  the  dictation  of  the  controlling  body, 
when  by  resisting  they  could  effect  no  good,  and 
would  be  sure  to  incur  a  dangerous  enmity. 


THE  PRINCE  AND  THE  EMPEROR. 

The  recent  speech  of  Prince  Napoleon 
ought  to  be  studied  by  party  orators  as  an  il- 
lustration of  independent  party  criticism.  The 
cousin  of  the  Emperor,  a  probable  member  of 
the  Regency  should  the  Emperor  die,  and  a 
possible  successor  to  the  throne,  is  really  of  the 
Emperor's  party.  But  he  has  outlived  many 
illusions  and  penetrated  many  more.     He  is, 


theological  phrase, 

He  does  nol  deceive  him-elf  by 
supposing  that  any  glamour  surrounds  his 
heavy  cousin  in  the  minds  of  Frenchmen,  and 
he  knows  that  the  family  glory  proceeds  from 
'  as  observed  men  and  studied 
history,  and  he  has  undoubtedly  decided  that 
only  hope  for  the  present  dynasty  in  France 
lies  in  its  transformation  into  an  entirely  con- 
stitutional government.  In  his  speech,  "there- 
hesitate  to  demand  it.  He 
o  plan  of  the  Emperor  as  the 
only  plan,  but  he  points  out  its  serious  defects, 
and  he  criticises  the  imperial  regime  with  the 
vigor  of  a  friend.  .  This  is  the  point  which 
makes  his  speech  interesting  as  a  study  of  true 
party  oratory.     It  is  serviceable,  not  servile. 

Prince  Napoleon  says  that  the  Senatus  Con- 
sultum  indicates  that  henceforth  liberty  is  to  be 
the  strength  of  the  empire.  This  he  believes 
to  bo  an  imperial  tradition,  and  ho  makes  the 


al  principles.  He  docs  not  deny  that  the  na- 
ture of  his  genius  made  him  prone  to  adopt  old 
practices,  but  he  is  sure  that  his  reason  was 
convinced.  The  difficulty  with  the  govern- 
ment of  Bonis  Philippe  was,  that  it  represent- 
ed the  electors  and  not  the  people,  and  the  ca- 
tastrophe was  therefore  inevitable.  But  now, 
when  there  are  ten  millious  of  electors,  the  gov- 
ernment must  represent  their  wishes.  The 
Prince,  therefore,  logically  objects  that  the  Min- 


to  the  Senate,  which  is  appointed  by  the  Em- 
peror. Moreover,  during  the  six  months'  ad- 
journment of  the  Assembly  the  Senate  may 
legislate  under  the  Presidency  of  the  Emperor, 
and  even  vote  the  budget.  Then  the  Senate 
alone  has  the  right  to  discuss  the  Constitution, 
which  is  preposterous.  The  election  districts 
should  no  longer  be  gerrymandered  by  imperial 
decree,  and  the  mayors  of  cities  should  be  elect- 
ed by  the  municipal  councils,  and  not  appointed 
by  the  Emperor. 

These  are  the  demands  which  the  Prince  Na- 
poleon makes  in  the  interest  of  liberty.    He  per- 
ceives, with  every  body  else,  the  suspicious  omis- 
sions and  complexities  of  the  proposed  system, 
and  he  very  truly  says:   "When  you  seriously 
intend  to  practice  political  liberty,  you  will  do 
pretty  much  what  all  other  free  peoples  have 
done  and  are  doing."     That  is  the  substance  of 
the  whole  matter.     If  Louis  Napoleon  intends 
to  establish  a  free  constitutional  system,  the  n< 
essary  measures  are  obvious.     If  he  does  i 
adopt  them,  his  design  may  very  properly 
suspected/    The  justice  of  the  Prince's  cr 
cisms  is   entirely  unaffected  by  his  personal 
hopes  and  intentions.     Whether  he  appears 
in  his  Majesty's  opposition  to  propitiat 
lie  favor,  or  to  act  as  a  scout,  and  feeler 
Majesty,   or   is   merely   exercising   his    \ 
amuse 'himself,  or  is  in  fact  the  honest 
that  he  seems,  his  speech  undoubtedly 
out  the  discrepancies  between  the  provis: 
the  Senatus  Consultum  and  t 
al  system.

I  seemed  to  have  a  presentiment  of  coming  e 
and  yet  all  I  thought  of  was  that  the  stairs  ti

from  above  came  down  to  us.  Lucie,  if  she 
was  there,  was  not  alone.  I  heard  my  brother 
breathing  heavily. 

"Leonard,"  I  whispered,  'Met  me  go,"  for  it 
was  a  man's  voice  that  mingled  with  hers. 

He  did  not  answer,  but  he  put  me  by;  in  a 
moment,  as  it  seemed,  he  had  reached  the  door 
and  pushed  it  open.  I  followed  him  in.  Lucie 
was  alone  in  the  room.  Without  looking  at  her, 
my  brother  went  straight  to  the  window,  and 
said,  calmly,  "You  may  come  in,  Sir." 

And   thus    summoned,  young   Monsieur   De 

room.  I  looked  at  them  both.  There  they 
were — the  two  ingrates — as  I  had  seen  them  so 
many  years  before ;  beautiful  and  deceiving, 
again  betraying  the  kind  friend  and  the  gener- 
ous enemy ;  but  they  were  younger  than  in  those 
by-gone  days,  and  I  could  read  shame  and  grief 
on  their  two  faces.  My  brother  looked  at  them 
with  the  very  look  which  I  remembered — a  cold 
and  angry  look;  and  he  said,  in  a  cold,  hard 

"  I  have  read  somewhere  that  what  has  been

again  to  do  the  same  deeds  over  and  over,  and  I 
find  the  truth  of  it  this  day.  You,  Monsieur  De 
Sainte  Foy,  came  to  me,  your  hereditary  enemy, 
asking  our  old  animosity  to  be  forgotten ;  and

Sad  and  bitter  were  the  days  that  followed 
this  ill-fated  evening.  I  attempted  to  say  a  few 
words  for  poor  Lucie,  but  my  '  '

He  was  a  willful  man— one,  too,  whom  the 
memory  of  a  great  wrong  had  embittered.  It 
was  useless  to  dispute  his  commands,  and  I  told 
Lucie  so. 

"I  have  deserved  it,"  was  her  only  answer; 
and  she  submitted,  and  kept  out  of  his  way. 

The  wedding  was  to  be  a  speedy  one,  accord- 
ing to  my  brother's  wish;  but,  oh!  how  joyless 
were  the  few  preparations,  and  with  how  heavy 
a  heart  I  made  them!  Three  days  before  that 
appointed  for  the  marriage  I  again  tried  to  move 
Leonard.     It  was  a  clear  and  calm  evening,  and

replied  my  brother  Leonard, 
with  a  low,  ironical  laugh.  "A  young  man  gives 
up  his  mistress,  a  girl  gives  up  her  lover,  and  all 
for  the  sake  of  a  gray-headed  old  man !  Do  not 
ask  me  hi  believe  it,  ' 

"Sir,  it  is  not  merely  for  your  sake  that  we 
part,"  said  young  De  Sainte  Foy,  with  an  angry 
light  in  his  dark  eye;  "it  is  also  for  the  sake  of 
our  honor.  Our  error  has  sullied  it,  but  our 
sacrifice  shall  redeem  it ;  and  you  yourself,  Sir, 
you  mir  accuser,  shall  confess  it."

"Lucie,"  quietly  said  my  brother,  "you  may 
call  him  back,  if  you  repent  your  choice." 

She  looked  at  him  swiftly,  with  a  vague  hope,

LORD  PALMERSTON'S  DIARY. 

The   private   diary   of  Lord  Palmerston  li 


1  office  as  Foreign  Secre- 

found.  It  seems  to  have  been  originally  de- 
signed in  its  present  form  cbielly  to  explain  why- 
he  left  the  Tories  and  took  office  under  the  Whig 
Earl  Grey;  a  change  which,  according  to  Lord 
l'almerstou's  chivalrous  sense  of  honor,  could 
only  be  justified  by  the  fact  that  he  was  himself 
deserted  by  the  party,  when  he  was  unseated  for 
the  University  of  Cambridge,  for  voting  in  favor 
of  Roman  Catholic  Emancipation,  although  there 
'  *     "  compact,  according  to 


The  diary  will  explain  that  his  long  term  of  serv- 
ice as  Secretary  at  War  was  not  from  the  want 
of  many  overtures  to  accept  higher  offices.  His 
lordship  was  importuned  by  Mr.  Perceval,  as 
-Mr.  l'itt'^ucee-sor  at  Cambridge,  to  assume 
Mr.  1'itt'sWicc  of  Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer. 
But  George  IV.  thought  that  he  should  find  a 
more  pliant  Minister  in  Mr.  Hemes,  and  Mr. 
Canning  was  compelled,  after  a  visit  to  Windsor, 
to  make  an  awkward  apology  to  Lord  Palmer- 
ston, by  ollenng  him  a  liiitish  peerage  and  tho 

Lord  Palmerston  'a  diary  is  written  in  a  hand 
only  a  little  less  firm  and  graceful  than  Walpole's, 
but  it  is  quite  as  legible.  It  is  not  a  mere  record 
of  facts,  but  a  gallery  of  pictures  and  sketches, 
in  all  of  which  are  clearly  to  be  seen  the  style  of 
an  accomplished  master.  It  is,  besides,  "some- 
thing more.  A  scene  between  the  writer  and 
the  Duke  of  Wellington,  when  Mr.  Hnskisson's 
dismissal  or  his  being  retained  was  in  dispute,  is 
of  tho  very  highest  and  finest  style  of  serious 
comedy:  graphic,  dramatic,  and  so  lifelike  that 
the  aclors  seem  bodily  before  US.

she  had  a  latent  dread  of  Maud's  judgment. 
Maud  had  such  a  lofty  standard,  such  a  pure

The  hint  was  not  lost,  howevor.  It  was  de-

there  is  one  mirror  in  existence  which  excels  all 
others  in  light-gathering,  and  therefore  necessari- 
ly in  heat-gathering,  power.  The  gigantic  mir- 
ror of  the  Kosse  telescope  has  long  been  engaged 
in  gathering  the  faint  rays  from  those  distant  stel-

veniences,  and  knowledge  are  in  full  exercise  for 
their  preservation. 

The  negroes  of  Africa  and  the  nomadic  races 
in  Asia  lose  many  children  early;  but  they  ap- 
pear to  be  more  successful  in  their  efforts  to  rear 
them  than  the  best  informed  people  of  civilized 
Europe  or  America.  No  doubt  this  assertion 
may  be  called  in  question.  Figures  are  not  to 
he 'disputed,  however.  If  il  be  admitted  that 
the  manner  of  everyday  life  of  millions  of  mo- 
thers is  injurious  to  their  nursing  babes,  one  di- 
rect cause  of  the  mortality  among  infants,  never 
practiced  bv  unsophisticated  outdoor,  open-air 
mothers,  will  be  established.  Our  civilized  mo- 
thers bundle  up  their  babies  too  closely,  and  loo 
often  deprive  them  of  lire  fie-h,  invigorating  at- 
mospheric air.  They  are  wilted  like  cut  flowers 
in  a  stifling  nursery.  Their  freedom  is  too  much 
abridged,  from  a  mistaken  idea  that  they  may 
take  cold  if  exposed.  The  Esquimaux  mother 
refreshes  her  mule  nursling  in  an  Arctic  snow- 
drift.    Civilization  overdoes— the  uncivilized  lets

At  the  northern  extremity  of  the  Province 

of  Xoidhmd,  between  Gtf  and  69°  north  lati-

Be  Beaotifol.  —  If  you  desire  beauty  you 
should  use  Hagan's  Magnolia  Balm. 

It  gives  a  soft,  refined,  satin-like  texture  to 
the  complexion,  removes  Roughness,  Redness, 
Blotches,  Sunburn,  Tan,  &c,  and  adds  a  tinge 
of  pearly  bloom  to  the  plainest  features.  It 
brings  the  bloom  of  youth  to  the  fading  cheek, 
and  changes  the  rustic  country  girl  into  a  fash- 
ionable city  belle. 

In  the  use  of  the  Magnolia  Balm  lies  tha 
true  secret  of  beauty.  No  lady  need  complain 
of  her  complexion  who  will  invest  75  cents  in 
thH  ..loli glit ful  article.

It  is  true  that  the  proper  lines  of  a  public 
school  education  are  necessarily  arbitrary,  but 
they  may  still  be  drawn  with  a  great  deal  of 
uniformity  and  precision.  It  is  to  be  a  general

quarter  and  the  half  mile  Goldsmith  Maid  broke. 
The  others  kept  up  at  the  rate,  and  at  the  half 
mile  American  Girl  and  the  Lady  were  head  and 
head.  Time,  1m,  0£s.  ■  the  second  quarter  hav- 
ing been  trotted  in  33&s.  On  the  lower  turn  the 
old  mare  showed  a  trifle  in  the  lead.  Goldsmith 
Maid  broke  again.  At  the  three-quarter  pule 
Lady  Thorn  led  American  Girl   only  a  neck. 


"THE  AMERICAN  GIRL."— [ 
The  pace  was  strong  and  the  interest  intense. 
The  two  big  mares  swung  around  the  last  turn 
close  together,  and  came  on  in  a  whirl  of  dust. 
In  the  straight  bit  Daniels  laid  on  the  whip,  but 
it  was  no  go,  and  the  long,  low  stroke  of  the 
Lady  cut  the  Girl  down,  although  she  had  the 
inside,  and  beat  her  by  a  neck,  in  2m.  20^a. 
Goldsmith  Maid  was  two  lengths  behind  them, 
and  her  lucl.ers  bi.^an  to  look  blue.

COAL  IN  INDIA. 

The  great  want  in  India  has  been  coal  For 
some  years  past  it  has  been  found  in  some  parts 
of  Bengal  and  the  Central  provinces,  but  with 
very  little  effect  compared  with  the  demand  for 
the  mineral;  and  even  the  local  railways,  when 
English  coal  is  scarce,  have  to  be  fed  with  wood, 

which  have  suffered  severely  at  times  through 
accidents  by  fire.  But  a  new  discovery  has  been 
made  in  this  direction,  promising  most  important 
results.  An  extensive  field  of  useful  coal  has, 
we  are  informed,  been  found  in  the  sandstone  dis- 
tricts ofChutidu,  in  the  Central  provinces,  the  chief 
town  of  which  is  about  eighty  miles  from  Nag- 
nore.  The  discovery  is  due  to  Mr.  Lucie  Smith, 
aouer  of  the  district,  who  t'ol- 
from  a  slaty  coal  picked  out 
Wurdah,  and  the  .-eanh   has 


gentlemen   ever  since   18G5. 

been  arrived  at  with  great  caution  ;  but  at  length 

a  report  has  been  made  to  the  Supreme  Govern-

independence,  attested  by  the  virtual  unanimi- 
ty of  the  country  and  the  undisputed  civil  su- 
premacy of  the  Congress.  These  are  the 
"facts"  which,  in  the  contemplation  of  the  res- 
olution that  we  have  quoted,  would  justify  the 
recognition  of  Cuban  belligerency.  But  mean- 
while our  neighborhood  and  the  nature  of  the 
struggle  authorize  us  to  make  the  most  strenu- 
ous find  persistent  efforts  at  mediation  between 
Spain  and  Cuba.  This,  we  have  no  doubt,  the 
Administration  is  doing  with  the  utmost  self- 
respect  and  with  the  sincerest  sympathy  for 
the  Cubans.  The  latter,  when  they  began  the 
struggle,  doubtless  relied  upon  our  neighbor- 
hood as  an  advantage  in  many  ways ;  but  they 
should  have  seen  that  it  was  an  equal  disad- 
vantage. Those  who  move  in  great  enter- 
prises are  morally  hound  to  count  the  cost.

on  of  the  relation  of  the  second  annotator 
work  to  the  first,  and  does  not  involve  chi 
:ter.  All  of  Mr.  Dana's  manuscripts  were  1 
■re  the  Court,  and  the  question  was  really  c 
F  law  only,  not  of  good  faith.  Mr.  Da 
claimed  that  he  had  studied  and  used  the  no 
predecessor  as  he  had  the  works  of  otl

.stances  he  has  transude 
f  use  of  the  labors  of  th 
1  those  excesses,  when  de 
creal'.er  omitted.  The  de 
,  shows  that  Mr.  Dana  h 
rule,  indi-bied  to  Mr.  Law 


sors  can  cut  off,  and  which  may  possibly  be 
.•p. int.  without  injury. 

Mr.  Dana,  of  course,  reserves  a  right  of  ap- 
peal as  to  the  justice  of  the  rule  laid  down  by 
the  Court ;  but  the  great  point  in  the  case  is 
decided  in  his  favor.

npression  conveyed  hy  Mrs.  Stowe  that 
Lady  Byron  had  told  it  to  no  one  except  to 
Dr.  (then  Mr.)  Lushington  in  1816.  Lord 
Lindsay  believes  that  Lady  By  run  was  a  lit— 
ik-.leraniro.]  upon  Uie  subject,  and  Mr.  WlLLIAM 
HowiTT  describes  her  as  inexplicably  cold  and 
moody.  Mr.  John  Robertson,  also,  declares 
that  many  persons,  among  them  the  Rev.  Fred- 
erick Robertson,  believes  Lady  Byron's  mind 

and  in  many  ways.  He  and  two  other  friends 
of  hers  decided  that  Lady  Btron  was  of  unsound  . 
mind  upon  the  subject ;  and  he  adds  that  the 
story  she  most  frequently  told  is  not  susceptible 
of  proof,  while  the  one  related  by  Mrs.  Stowe 
is  new  and  utterly  incredible.  But  Dr.  Forbes 
WiNSLOW  considers  that  the  theory  of  halluci- 
nation is  incompatible  with  the  known  facts  of 
Lady  Byron's  life ;  and  certainly  bad  there 
been  good  reasons  for  supposing  her  insane 
upon  the  subject  of  the  separation,  Miss  Mar- 

sketch  of  Lady  Byron. 

It  is  evident  that  the  story  itself  is  not  so 
universally  discredited  in  England  as  it  seems 
to  be  here,  although,  as  we  said,  there  is  little 
mercy  for  Mrs.  Stowe.  The  Spectator  and  the 
Saturday  Review,  papers  of  the  best  reputation, 
incline  to  believe  the  story  as  told.     The  Spec-

Pall  Mall  Gazette  breaks  the  force  of  Lady 
Anne  Barnard's  letter  by  emphasizing  the 
fact  that,  as  Lady  Byron  did  not  tell  the  stoiy 
to  her  parents,  she  would  not  be  likely  to  con- 
fide it  to  her  friend.  Meanwhile,  in  the  gen- 
eral debate  there  has  been  great  force  wasted 
upon  unimportant  details.  Thus,  when  Mrs. 
Stowe's  article  was  first  published  it  was  re-

I  „>ssibly  know  what  Lady  Bybon  told  Dr.  Lush- 
isgton,  but  did  not  tell  her  mother? 

And  is  not  the  strongest  probable  proof  of 
rhe  substantial  truth  of  Lady  Byron's  story  t( 
be  found  in  the  fact  that  Dr.  LusniNGTON,  U 
whom  she  told  it  in  1816,  who  is  still  living,  ant 
who  could  settle  the  whole  matter  by  a  word 
remains  silent?  His  simple  assertion  that  the 
story  told  by  Mrs.  Stowe  is  not  what  Lady 
Byron  told  him  could  not  be  regarded 
improper  breach  of  professional  confidenc 

more  convincing  than  all  that  has  been  said  and

Well,  the  story-teller  enters  every  where,  and 
can  take  his  audience  with  him,  as  the  biab/e 
Boiteux  could  cany  Don  Cleofas,  and  with  Don 
Cleofas  all  the  world  of  readers.  We  enter  the 
church— and  truly  it  is  a  dismal  edifice.     Things 

is  gray,  gloomy,  mouldering,  sepulchral.     The 

dismahiess  and  darkness  oppress  the  soul.  How 
enn  Elsie  endure  the  place?  We  follow  the 
strains  of  her  music  till  we  find  ourselves  just 
on  the  last  step  of  the  tortuous,  rickety  (light  of 
stairs  leading  to  the  organ  gallery  ;  and  there  we 
pause.  .  We  will  not  intrude ;  but  we  will  listen 
while  the  pretty  girl  plays,  and  we  will  admire 
the  courage  which  enables  her  to  brave  this 
•  pei'lre  haunted  gloom. 

Spectre-haunted  !  The  word  let  fall  careless- 
ly must  have  a  genuine  meaning  here.  There 
(positively  arc  ghosts— for  there  is  a  figure  sit- 
ting bv  Elsie's  side!  And  she  knows  it,  and  is 
not  afraid.  She  still  plays  on  ;  her  skillful  fin- 
gers never  pause  in  their  thrilling  labor;  but  the 
goblin  speaks  to  her  in  low,  whispering  lone-; 
and  Elsie  whispers  hack  in  reply;  and  their 
heads  are  sometimes  very  close  together. 

"Elsie,  my  love,"  whispers  the  spectre, 
"don't  yon  trust  in  me?" 

She  looks  sadly,  lovingly  at  him,  and  whispers 

"Trust  you?  Ah,  if  I  did  not  trust  you 
whollv,  should  we  be  here  now  together?  Should 
I  ever  have  allowed  this  to  go  on?  Should  I 
have  risked  so  much?  Robert,  you  know  and 
Heaven  knows — and  only  Heaven  and  you — 
how  much  1  trust  you." 

"And  you  love  me,  Elsie?" 

"Have  I  not  told  you  so,  more  than  once? 
And  did  you  not  know:  it  even  before  ever  I  told 
you?     I  am  no  cold-blooded  creature,  to  weigh

sent from  New  York,  did  not  lock  the  church 
door  when  she  went  in  to  practice,  and  the  lover 
did  come,  after  all;  and  Stephen  Roseberry, 
happening  to  pass  by  the  church  and  hearing 
the  organ,  went  in,  pnor  wretch!  in  the  hope  of 
meeting  Elsie.      As  he  entered  he  felt  convinced

meetings,  and  the  whole  system  of  secrecy,  which 
was  especially  distasteful  to  Elsie's  clear,  pure 
nature,  should  be  at  an  end,  and  the  lovers 
could  meet  openly,  and  boldly  demand  the  ap-

knocking  at  the  church  door,  and  old  Clairon's 
voice  called  angrilv  to  his  daughter.

in  that  moment  of  confusion  it  was  evident  to 
him  that  some  enemy  was  at  work,  that  some 
exposure  had  been  planned  and  intended,  and 
that  the  object  was  to  injure  Elsie.     He  knew

ery second  that  passed  was  fraught  with  ruin. 
Robert  raged  and  chafed  wildly  — he  almost 
thought  of  flinging  himself  out  of  the  window 
headlong.  Then  he  gathered  his  judgment  and 
resolution  about  him,  and  calmly  surveyed  the 
place.  Retween  him  and  the  carpenter's  window

FACTS  FOR  T 

I  have  used  my  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Sew- 
ing Machine  six  years  without  the  least  repairs, 
doing  all  my  family  sewing,  consisting  of  coats,, 
overcoats,  pauts,  uud  vests,  down  tb  the  finest 
of  sewing,  even  patching  old  coats  and  pants. 
Besides  that,  I  have  earned  six  hundred  dollars 
($1100)  in  the  six  years.  I  earned  thirty  dollars 
with  one  needle.  Give  me  the  Wheeler  & 
Wilson  in  preference  to  all  others.

reason  for  recognizing  Cuban  belli

witli  which  Spain  attempts  to  roaint

fully  known  to  the  Cuban  chiefs. 

It  is  now  stated  in  the  Tribune,  apparently 
with  authority,  that  General  Sickles  has  with- 
drawn the  offer  of  mediation  that  he  made  to 
the  Spanish  Government,  and  also  that  the 
offer,  although  declined,  was  received  in  the 
most  friendly  spirit.  It  is  further  reported  in

VERONICA. 

By  the  Author  of  "Aunt  Margaret's  Trouble.1 


It  was  not  until  Mr.  Lcvincourt  had  been  seat 
ed  for  some  time  in  the  railway  carriage  that  hi 
remembered  that  he  was  ignorant  of  Lady  Tal 
lis's  address.     Young  Lockwood  had  said 
she  was  in  London,  but  where  the  vicar  knew 

".Maud!"  said  he,  suddenly,  "how  are  we  to 
find  vour  aunt?" 

Maud  was  leaning  her  weary  head  against  the 
cushions,  and  her  eyes  were  closed.  She  had 
not  been  sleeping,  however,  for  she  immediately 
opened  her  eyes,  and  repeated

at  heart  a  worldly  man: 

principle  which  he  had  observed  in  Sir 
John~Ga!e's  conversation  would  by  do  means 
have  induced  him  to  refuse  the  baronet  his 
daughter's  hand  had  he  asked  for  it  openly. 
But  he  was  keenly  alive  to  the  disgrace  of  his 
daughter's  elopement ;  and  not  the  least  sharp 
pang  he  felt  was  caused  by  the  reflection  that 
Veronica  bad  thoroughly  deceived  him. 

t  length  he  fcU  into  an  uneasy  sleep,  through 
h  he  was  dimly  conscious  of  mental  pain, 
of  a  dread  of  waking.  From  this  slumber 
-as  aroused  by  Maud's  hand  on  his  shoulder 
and  Maud's  voice  in  his  ear,  faltering  out  that  she 
believed  they  must  have  reached  London. 

They  were  in  London.  The  railway  station 
looked  inexpressibly  dreary,  with  its  long  vistas 
ending  in  black  shadow,  its  sickly  lamps  blink- 
ing like  eyes  that  have  watched  all  night  and  are 
weary,  and  its  vast  glazed  roof,  through  which 
the  gray  dawn  was  beginning  to  glimmer. 

It  was  yet  too  early  to  attempt  to  go  to  Mrs. 
Lockwood's  house.  They  must  wait  at  least  a 
couple  of  hours.  The  vicar  looked  so  worn, 
dged,  and  ill  that  Maud  tried  to  persuade  him 
to  seek  some  rest 
tion,  promising  th 


i  should  be  roused  in  due 


Ideriiig  slowly,  and  where  a  solitary  gas- 
light shed  a  yellow  glare  over  a  huge,  bare,  shin- 
ing centre-table,  leaving  the  rest  of  the  apart- 
ment in  almost  darkness.  "You  will  be  safe 
and  unmolested  here.  I  must  go  and  make 
some  inquiries — try  to  find  some  trace—  Ke- 
uiain  here  till  I  return." 

Maud  thought  she  had  never  seen  a  room  so 
utterly  soul-depressing.  No  place  would  have 
appeared  cheerful  to  her  at  that  moment;  but 
this  railway  waiting-room  was  truly  a  dreary 
and  forlorn  apartment.  She  sat  there  cower- 
ing over  the  dull  red  fire,  Bick,  and  chilly,  and 
sad ;  listening  nervously  to  every  echoing  foot- 
fall on  the  long  platform  without;  to  the  whis- 
tle of  some  distant  engine,  screaming  as  though 
it  had  lost  its  way  in  the  labyrinthine  net-work 
of  lines  that  converged  just  outside  the  great  ter- 
minus, and  were  wildly  crying  for  help  and  guid- 
ance ;  listening  to  the  frequent  clang  of  a  heavy 
swing-door,  the  occasional  sound  of  voices  (once 
a  man  laughed  aloud,  and  she  involuntarily  put 
her  hands  up  to  her  startled  ears  to  shut  out  the 
sound  that  jarred  on  every  quivering  nerve  with 
agonizing  discord),  and  to  the  loud,  deliberate 
ticking  of  a  clock  above  the  waiting-room  door. 

At  length— how  long  the  time  had  seemed  !— 
Mr.  Levincourt  returned. 

Maud  started  up,  and  tried  to  read  in  his  face 
if  he  had  any  tidings  of  Veronica,  but  she  did 
not  venture  to  speak.  He  answered  her  appeal- 
ing look  ■ 

"Thej  have  not  been  here.  I  believe  that  much 
is  certain.  The  man  was  civil,  and  caused  in- 
quiries to  be  made  among  the  people — oh  my 
Uo»i  that  I  should  have  to  endure  this  degrada- 
tion!— but  there  was  no  trace  of  such  people  as  I 
described.  This  man  made  a  suggestion.  They 
might  have  left  the  main  line  at  Dibley,  and 
either  come  to  London  by  the  other  line,  thus 
arriving  at  a  station  at  the  opposite  end  of  the 
town;  or  —  a3  I  think  more  probable  —  have 
reached  the  junction 
the  coast  railways,  and  so  got  dowi 
without  touching  London  at  all."

help  you.  I  remember  the  Lockwoods'  address. 
They  live  in  a  street  called  Gower  Street.  Do 
you  know  it?" 

"Gower  Street?     Are  you  sure?     How  do 
you  know?" 

"  Mr.  Lockwood  mentioned  that  his  mother 
had  a  house  t 


ingthongi.u.  Occasionally  a  gleam  of  something 
like  hope  darted  into  his  wind.  Might  it  not  be 
possible  that  all  would  yet  go  well  witn  V„:onica  ? 
Some  fathers  would  have  deemed  that  hy  no  pos- 
sibility could  it  he  altogether  well  with 'her.      It 


'  Do  you  happen  to  know,"  he  asked,  "where- 

>uts  in  this  street  a  Mrs.  Lockwood  lives  ?" 

'Mrs.  Lockwood!"  echoed  the  girl,  drying 

her  streaming  arms  on  her  apron,  "Mis  is  Mrs. 


io  gi-ciiveM  importance." 
Missis  ain't  up  yet,"  rejoined  the  servant, 
ng  first  at  him,  then  at  Maud,  and  lastly  at 
cabman,  from  whom  she  received  a  confi- 
dential wink,  which  seemed  to  claim  a  common 
vantage-ground  of  Cockneyhood  between  him- 
self and  her,  and  to  separate  them  both  from 

"I  will  send  up  this  card  to  her,"  said  Mr. 
Levincourt.  He  took  out  a  card  and  pencil,  and 
wrote  some  words  hastily.  Then  he  gave  the 
girl  the  card  together  with  a  shilling,  and  begged 


rx 


The  administration  of  the  bribe  appeared  to 
raise  the  vicar  in  the  cabman's  estimation.  The 
latter  officiously  pulled  down  the  window-glass 
on  the  side  next  the  house,  so  that  Maud  could 
put  her  head  out,  and  then  stood  with  the  handle 
of  the  cab  door  in  his  hand,  ready  for  any 


which  she  only 


partially 


"Missus's  best  compliments,  and  the  lady  as 
you're  a  looking  for  is  lodging  in  the  'ouse. 
She's  on  the  first-floor,  and  will  you  please  walk 
into  the  drawing-room  ?" 

The  vicar  and  Maud  followed  the  girl  np 
stairs  into  a  front-room,  furnished  as  a  sitting- 
room.  It  communicated  by  folding-doors,  which 
were  now  closed,  with  another  apartment. 

The  servant  drew  up  the  yellow  window-blinds, 
desired  the  visitors  to  be  seated,  and  asked,  as 
she  prepared  to  leave  the  room : 

"  Who  shall  I  say,  please?" 

"Mr.  Levincourt,  and—  Stay!  You  had 
better  take  my  card  in  to  her  ladyship,  and  say 
that  her  niece  is  here  with  me,  and  would  be 
glad  if  she  might  see  her." 

The  servant  departed  into  the  adjoining  cham- 
ber, as  it  appeared,  for  the  sound  of  voices  very 
slightly  mufhed  by  the  folding-doors  was  heard 
ediately.     In  a  very  few  minutes  the  girl 


she'd  like  to  s 


Lady  T;.Jli>  ■■['  his  presence  and 
London  would  be  over  before  he  saw  her.  He 
felt  a  strong  persuasion  that  tact  and  self-pos- 
session were  by  no  means  poor  Hilda's  distin- 
guishing characteristics,  and  he  had  nervously 
dreaded  the  first  meeting  with  her.  Although 
he  had  placed  himself  as  far  as  possible  from  the

"Oh  me!"  he  groaned;  "I  wish  it  were  all 
ver :     I  am  weary  of  my  life. " 

The  cab  rattled  over  the  stones  through  the 
till  nearly  empty  streets. 

Maud's  remembrance  of  any  part  of  London 
very  vague.     She  had 


"  What  ni

He  tapped  his  fingers  with  irritable  impatience 
on  the  window.     Why  did  not  Maud  urge  * 
aunt  to  hasten  ?     She  knew  that  every  mil 
was  of  importance  to  him.     He  would  wait 
longer.     He  would  go  away,  and  return  late 

As  he  so  thought  the  dooi  opened,  and  there

joyless  and  empty  of  affection  for  so  many  years 
that  the  lonely  woman  not  unnaturally  clutched 
at  this  chance  of  happiness  with  the  selfish  eager- 
ness of  a  starving  creature  who  snatches  at  food. 

"It  is  very,  very  dreadful,  Aunt  Hilda,"  Maud 
had  said,  lowering  her  voice  lest  it  should  reach 
the  ears  of  the  vicar  in  the  next  room.  "Mr. 
Levincourt  will  be  heart-broken  if  he  does  not 
find  her.  And  I  love  her  60  dearly.  My  poor 
Veronica!     Oh,  why,  why  did  she  leave  us?" 

But  her  aunt  could  not  help  dwelling  on  the 
hope  that  out  of  this  trouble  might  come  a  gleam 
of  com fint  to  her  own  desolate  life. 

She  had  soothed  and  kissed  the  sobbing  girl, 
and  had  poured  out  a  stream  of  incoherent  talk, 
Idled  some  clothes  about  her. 
fretting,  my 
poor  pet !  You  will  stay  here  with  me,  safe, 
now!  Sure  they'll  find  her  beyond  a  doubt. 
Of  course  the  man  will  marry  her.  And  as  to 
running  away,  why,  my  darling  child,  though  I'd 
be  loth  to  inculcate  the  practice,  or  to  recommend 
it  to  any  well-brought-up  girl,  Btill  ye  know  very 
well  that  it's  a  thing  that  happens  every  day. 
There  was  Miss  Grogan,  of  the  Queen's  County, 
one  of  the  most  dashing  girls  that  ye  ever  saw  in 

they  were  very  comfortable  in  a 


published  in  the  parish  church  every  day  for  a 
year.  And  yet,  at  first,  her  family  were  in  the 
greatest  distress  — the  very  greatest  distress- 
though  he  was  the  second  cousin  of  Lord  Clon- 
tarf,  and  an  extremely  elegant  young  fellow. 
But  of  course  I  understand  Mr.  Levincourt's  feel- 
ings, and  I  am  sincerely  sorry  for  him— I  am,  in- 
deed." 

So,  in  speaking  to  the  vicar,  her  tone,  although 
not  un-ympathi/.ing,  was  very  different  from  what 
it  would  have  been  had  she  at  all  realized  the  ter- 
rible apprehensions  which  racked  his  mind. 

"  Ye '11  stay  and  have  a  mouthful  of  breakfast

but  it  was  now  blanched  and  wan,  and  marked 
with  three  or  four  deep  lines  round  the  mouth, 
though  on  the  forehead  it  remained  smooth. 
There  was  still  the  regular,  clear-cut  outline,  but 
exaggerated  into  sharpness.  There  were  still 
the  large,  finely-shaped,  lustrous  hazel  eyes,  but 
with  a  glitter  in  them  that  seemed  too  bright  for 
health,  and  with  traces  of  much  wailing  and 
weeping  in  their  heavy  lids.  She  was  a  kindly, 
foolish,  garrulous,  utterly  undignified  woman. 

"I  have  come,"  said  the  vicar,  "to  ask  you 
to  give  shelter  and  protection  to  this  dear  child. 
My  house  is  no  home  for  her  now,  and  Heaven 
knows  when  I  shall  return  to  it  myself.     I  sup-

he  should  ta 
give  him  the  honor  and  glory  of  sending  down 
his  own  plebeian  appellation  with  the  baronetcy. 
So,  of  course,  when  he  changed  his  name  I 
changed  mine;  for  I  am  his  wife,  though  I 
make  no  doubt  that  he  would  be  glad  enough 
to  deny  it  if  he  could.  Only  that,  being  his

in  this  respect  or  iu  any  other,  he  undertook  to 
do  more  than  he  could  perform.  But  it  is  just 
at  this  point  that  many  of  the  priests  are  said  to 
have  sinned.  In  order  to  indulge  then-  cMravu-

has  been  great  and  painful  may  be  easily  imag-

paid  for  masses  can  feel  assured  that  what  they 
paid  for  has  been  done,  and,  though  some  may 
smile  at  their  credulity  in  supposing  that  any 
good  can  reach  deceased  persons  by  the  perform-

spect the  motives  which  induced  them  to  sacrifice

It  need  hardly  be  said 
that  it  is  customary  for  surviving  relatives  of 
Roman  Catholics  to  cause  masses  to  be  said  for 
the  repose  of  the  souls  of  deceased  persons.  Ji

lovely  figure,  at  once  graceful  and  stately,  and  a

lighted  up  by  a  pair  of  dark,  melting  eyes,  whose

that  of  Mr.  Buller.

you  only  can  help  mo  to  prove." 

He  paused  for  an  answer,  and  none  came. 
Georgie,  flushed,  bewildered,  tearful,  stood  look- 


"How  will  you  ever  look  Dora  in  the  face 
again  after  saying  such  words  to  me  ?"  she  stam- 
mered, at  last.

'Bat  are  you  not  engaged  to  her?"  Georgie 

'Thank  Heaven,  no!     I  mean  nothing  dis-

"  I  would  offer  you  a  seat,  but  it's  a  shame  to 
try  the  springs  of  my  carriage  by  driving  three 
people  in  it,"  she  said,  good-naturedly. 

"Then  send  the  boy  home  walking,"  he  said, 
promptly;  and  as  Dora  did  not  definitely  object, 
the  boy  was  sent  home,  and  Mr.  Buller  got  up  by 
Dora's  side,  and  they  drove  slowly  on  together. 

"Dora,"  he  said,  softly,  after  a  few  minutes' 

"  Yes — sometimes,"  Dora  said,  confusedly. 
"  Do  you  ever  remember  how  dearly  1  loved

POLISHING. 


The  Secret  of  Beauty  lies  in  the  use  of 
Hagan's  Magnolia  Balm  for  the  complexion. 

Roughness,  Redness,  Blotches,  Sunburn,  Frec- 
kles, and  Tan  disappear  where  it  is  applied,  and 
a  beautiful  complexion  of  pure,  satin-like  text- 
ure i6  obtained.  The  plainest  features  are  made 
to  glow  with  healthful  bloom  and  youthful  beauty. 

Remember,  Hagan's  Magnolia  Balm  is  the 
thing  that  produces  these  effects,  and  any  lady 
can  secure  it  for  75  cents  at  any  of  our  stores.

FATHER  HYACrNTHE  AND  THE 

CARMELITE  SUPERIOR. 
The  correspondence  between  Father  Hya- 
cihthb  and  the  Superior  of  his  order  at  Rome 
has  been  published,  and  is  of  the  utmost  signif- 
iamce.  The  first  letter  of  the  Carmelite  Supe- 
rior was  written  in  July,  and  deplores  and  la- 
ments and  regrets  Father  Hyacinthe's  course, 
and  repeats  and  amplifies  its  grief  and  remon- 
strance at  gTeat  length.     The  offense  of  the 


clcsiastical  tradition  he  thought  fo

estly  exhorted  yon,"  says  the  Si 

to  identify  yourself  with  questio: 

among  Catholics,  and  on  Vhich 

agreed."     That  may  be  the  Carmelite  methot 

of  advancing  the  truth,  but  it  is  not  one  tha 

would  carry  the  truth  very  far.     And  this  seem: 

to  have  been  the  opinion  of  Father  Hvacinthe 

The  Superior  then  proceeds  to  a  formal  orde 

speech ;  nor  to  speak  outside  of  the  churches 
nor  to  be  present  at  the  Chambers ;  nor  to  tak<

The  Carmelite  Superior,  i

The  spirit  of  the  letter  of  protest  is  1

THE  GEORGIA  JUBILEE. 

a  Georgia  State  Agricultural  Society  pro- 


.shed  guests  have  been  invited,  including  the 
isident,  Vice-President,  and  Cabinet,  Con- 
;ss,  the  Governors,  and  the  ex-Presidents, 

1  "  the  principal  generals  of  the  two  late  hos- 


their  own  words,  trust  "  that  when  a  large  i 
course  of  people,  from  all  sections  of  the  Un 
shall  witness  the  meeting  and  exchange  of  c 
ities  between  distinguished  and  trusted  i 
from  all  sections— shall  see  the  great  and  i 
u.cd  chieftains  uf  the.  two  late  contending  an 


o  the  plow-share'— shall  actually  >vii- 

rery  much  will  be  accom- 
plished for  the  country  which  has  not  been  done 
by  laws  and  garrisons." 

The  programme  is  a  little  dramatic.  The 
Committee  will  find  it  hard  to  persuade  Gener- 
al Grant  to  play  in  a  pantomime,  nor  ought  it 
to  count  too  surely  upon  the  satisfaction  to  the 
country  of  seeing  General  Lee  side  by  side  with 
the  President.  General  Lee  has  thus  far  wise- 
ly chosen  to  hold  himself  withdrawn  from  the 
public  view,  and  he  would  yield  to  ill  advice  if 
he  should  abandon  his  retirement.     The  proj- 

distinguished  company  will  not  come,  nor  would 
their  coming  be  of  especial  service.  This  kind 
of  spectacular  emotion  is  not  agreeable  to  "the 
genius  of  the  people. "  The  colonists  were  very 
much  in  earnest  about  freedom,  but  they  did 
very  well  without  a  Goddess  of  Liberty ;  while 
the  Frenchmen,  who  had  the  goddess,  did  not 
have  the  liberty.  How  much  Italian  patriotic 
zeal  has  blazed  away  uselessly  in  the  brilliant 
rhetoric  of  ribbons!  "We  hope,  however,  that 
the  Georgia  fair  will  be  very  successful ;   that 

show  how  truly  at  heart  they  have  the  welfare 
of  their  State  and  of  the  Union ;  and  that  the 
orators  will  show  how  intimately  allied  the  high- 
era!  prosperity  of  the  country. 


Mr.  Cuhtis  was  in  another  Stan-  wl 
Convention  met.  The  political  situaiimi

what  could  a  man  bo  supposed  to  mean  who  said 
that  he  did  not  believe  that  the  people  could  gov- 
ern themselves,  but.  that  he  bad  illimitable  faith 
in  the  people  ?  Faith  in  their  ability  to  do  what  ? 
He  had  begun  by  saying  that  he  would  tell  his 
political  creed.  Consequently  to  say  that  his 
faith  in  the  people  governed  was  illimitable  was 
to  express  the  utmost  political  confidence  in  them. 
It  was  an  astounding  ingenuity  of  misconception 
to  suppose  that  Mr.  Dickens  would  stand  before 
John  Bright's  constituency  and  declare  his  want 
of  faith  in  the  people. 

Mr.  Fillmore  lately  made  a  speech  upon 

taking  the  chair  at  the  Commercial  Convention, 
in  Louisville,  in  which,  by  alluding  to  his  sign- 
ing the  Fugitive  Slave  Bill,  he  showed  that  bis 
mind  was  not  at  rest  upon  the  subject.    Ho  said : 

"I  freely  confess  it  was  against  my  feelings.  I 
examined  it  carefully,  hut  found  no  defect  in  it. 
It  was  constitutional,  and,  although  I  knew  when 
I  signed  it  I  was  signing  my  political  dealh-war- 

taken  my  right  arm."  Mr.  Fillmore's  feelings 
did  not  approve  the  bill,  and  he  was  politically

have  spared  his  feelings,  served  his  ambition  and

MRS.  HENEY  WARD  BEECHER  ON 
THE  SEWING  MACHINE. 

tFrom  The  Mother  at  Borne-*] 
"In  reply  to  numerous  letters  requesting  infor- 
mation and  advice  with  regard  to  the  many  sew- 
ing machines  now  in  use,  we  gave  in  the  July 
number  of  the  '  Mother  at  Home'  our  own  limit- 
ed experience,  and  also  expressed  a  wish  that 
others  would  favor  our  readers  with  the  results  of 
a  larger  and  more  thorough  knowledge  than  our 
own.  This  suggestion  has  brought  us  letters 
from  all  parts  of  the  country,  all,  without  ex- 
ception, enthusiastically  advocating  '  "Willcox 
&  Gibb3  Machine.'  We  have  room  for  but  one 
out  of  the  multitude  of  letters  before  us,  hut  that 
exprc---es  the  general  idea  of  all." 

Here  we  have  an  exhibition  of  facts  such  as 
we  have  never  before  witnessed  in  favor  of  any 
labor-saving  invention:    Mrs.  Beecher,  having

Cuba  comfort  by  recognition  of  the  belligerent

A  NECESSARY  REFORM. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  has  thought 

in  Texas  who  are  opposed  to  the  election  of  the 
Republican  candidate.  .Our  sympathies  and 
hopes  in  the  election  are  certainly  those  of  the 
Secretary.     We  have  no  doubt  that  the  success 


of  belligerent  rights  proceeds  upon  very  dif 
ent  grounds. 

While  the  United  States  are  at  peace  v 
Spain,  the  citizens  or  the  government  of  t 
country  may  undoubtedly  order  a  fleet  of  g

this  has  been  the  result  is  unquestionable.  Ap-

One  wet  afternoon  I  put  on  my  big  cloak,  and 
bidding  my  maid  get  my  tea  by'  the  time  I  re-

I  knew  so  well  coming  lightly  toward  me,  and 
presently  I  had  my  dear  in  my  arms.  She  was 
just  the  same.  Tali  and  pale,  her  dark  blue 
eyes  with  that  tender  pathetic  look  in  them  that 
is  quite  indescribable,  and  her  golden-brown  hair

over  his  air  of  preoccupation.  Miss  Crawford 
sat  upon  the  steps  with  a  book  upon  her  knees, 
but  she  was  not  reading.  The  sun  sank  beneath 
ridges  of  angry-looking  red,  the  hills  grew  pale

The  clerk  disappeared,  and  returned  in  a  few 
momeius,  begging  the  la.lv  to  step  that  way. 

The  lady  did  step  that  way,  and  the  green- 
hni/.e  door  closed  silently  behind  her  short,  trim, 
black  figure.  , 

Mr.  Frost  was  seated  at  a  table  covered  with 
papers.  On  one  side,  and  within  reach  of  his 
hand,  stood  a  small  cabinet  full  of  drawers.     It 

inlaid  wood,  and  would  have  seemed  more  suit- 
ed to  a  lady's  boudoir  than  to  a  lawyer's  office. 
But  there  was  in  truth  very  little  of  what  Mr. 
Lovegrove  called  "  the  shop"  about  the  furni- 
ture or  fittings  of  this  tiny  sanctum.  The  pur-

QUARRELING. 

Thf.  tendency  to  let  any  dispute  drift  into 
quarrel  is  very  much  n  matter  of  habit  ;    hut

from  the  affai 
himself  in  a  useless  .struggle.  Of  course,  it  re- 
quires some  discretion  to  know  when  the  dispute 
has  reached  the  point  of  being  irremediable  ;  and 


needlessly  embittering

in  ni'der  In  M'C~ho\v  resuhle-.-  (hey  were,  and 
what  an  enormous  waste  of  time  and  temper 
.they  involved.  He  will  see  the  misunderstand- 
ing grow  more  definite,  until  it  reaches  that 
stage  at  which  it  is  impossible  to  remove  it  with- 
out the  most  heroic  abnegation  on  one  side  or 
the  other.  He  will  perceive  that  neither  side  is 
willing  to  take  the  lend  in  coining  to  nn  arrange- 
ment. The  cause  of  dispute  becomes,  by  argu- 
ment, bigger.  Each  disputant  is  now  more  con- 
firmed in  his  notions.  By-aud-by,  they  are  not 
so  anxious  to  prove  themselves  in  the  right  as  to 

causing  annoyance.  The  original  ground  of 
quarrel  is  lost  sight  of  in  this  sense  of  mutual  in- 
jury. They  are  angry  with  each  other  because 
each  has  quarreled,  and  the  quarrel  is  continued 
out  of  revenge.  How  does  it  end?  Time,  the 
great  pacifier,  smooths  down  their  wrath ;  but 
look  at  all  they  have  suffered  and  lost  in  the  in-

K3f-  hi  November  will  be  commenced  "  Man 
AND  Wife,"  a  new  Serial  Story,  splendidly  Il- 
lustrated, by  Wilkie  Collins  (Anther  „/"The 
■Woman  in  White,"  "  No  Name,"  "  Armadale, 
and  "The  Moonstone").  New  Subscribers  will

AFTER  THE  AUTUMN  ELECTIONS. 

NOW  that  the  New  York  election  is  over. 

there  was  very  little  excitement  in  the  State 
and  it  was  remarkable,  as  Mr.  Gkeelet  oh 
served  in  one  of  his  speechei 


i  general  policy.    Thi 
.„.  wholly  bullied.     The 
publican  line  is  unbroken.     The  elections  _. 
shown  that  the  people,  who  last  year  expressed 
their  faith  ill  General  Giant  and  the  principles 
ho  represents,  trust  him  with  undiminished  con- 
fidence.    Tho  Democracy  have  lost  the  battle 
which  is  often  apt  to  seal  the  fortune  of  the  day. 
They  must  reflect  in  time,  that,  if  they  hope  to 
ncrsuade  the  people  of  ibis  country  to  give  them 


be  strengthened  by  such  a  course  as  nothing  else 
luld  strengthen  them? 
Certainly  we,  who  have  subdued  a  more  ap- 
illing  rebellion  than  England  °™*Jf™™*e 'j 
/rebel,  have  the  right  to  wonder  whether  En- 
gland does  not  feel  strong  enough  to  be  mag- 
nanimous, or  is  not  sagacious  enough  to  know 
the  policy  of  clemency. 

THE  SOCIAL  SCIENCE  ASSOCIA- 
TION. 

the  American  Social 

was  very  significant  as  well  as  interesting  The 
audiences,  indeed,  were  not  very  large,  hut  the 
reports  of  the  proceedings  in  the  newspapers 
were  ample  and  accurate ;  and  the  essays  were 
by  gentlemen  most  of  whom  were  especially 
ipetent  to  treat  the  topics  selected,  and  treat 
tlicin  with  a  care  and  ability  which  made  th. 
papers  of  permanent  value.  There  is  a  great 
deal  of  special  study  and  research  upon  sub- 
jects embraced  by  the  plan  of  the  Association 
for  which  there  is  no  method  of  expression  so 
admirable  as  that  furnished  by  these  meetings. 
The  pnpors.ir  originally  published  in  pamphlet, 
magazines,  or  volumes,  would  be  very  likely  to 
be  neglected.  They  are  generally  too  grave 
and  compact,  and  sometimes  even  statistical, 
to  be  acceptable  as  Lyceum  lectures ;  and  the 
invaluable  result  of  investigation  in  the  most 
important  directions  might  long  appeal  in  vain 
for  public  attention,  if  it  were  not  for  the  plat- 
form of  the  Social  Science  Association.  It  in- 
vites special  students  to  prepare  carefully  the 
substance  of  their  research  and  thought,  and 
offers  them  an  audience  which  any  man  might 
ho  proud  to  uddress,  and  a  full  report  under

economy.     Kegard  for  his  individual  rights  of 
a  certain' kind,  indeed,  the  American  does  not 
lack ;  but  he  certainly  asserts  his  public  rights 
of  personal  safety  and  convenience  much  less 
strenuously  than  those  who  have  not  his  polit- 
ical liberty.     The  first  thing  that  he  may  just- 
ly demand  of  every  company  that  undertakes 
to  transport  him  is  proper  provision  for  care  of 
life  and  limb.     But  upon  how  mnny  steamers, 
large  and  small,  by  which  he  travels  does  he 
see  such  provision  made?     Where  is  the  hose, 
the  supply  of  water-filled  buckets,  the  life  pre- 
jrvers,  in  case  of  extremity  ?     He  is  not  to  be 
ut  off'bv  being  told  that  they  are  somewhere, 
,r  to  be  serviceable  they  must  he  in  full  sight.

Another  and  very  common  method  ot'approach 
ing,  as  practiced  on  Chesapeake  Bay,  is  thai  ol 
sailing  on  the  ducks.  A  light,  strong  sail-boa 
is  procured,  in  which  the  gunner  places  himself 
and  allow -the  boat,  seemingly  without  conscious

skill  required  in  the  manipulation  of  the  images.

canine,  and  he  is  then  placed  in  full  view  of  a

unaccountable  antics  of  the  dog,  and  their  cu- 
riosity overcomes  them.  They  draw  timidly 
near  to  the  place  of  death,  and  the  souls  of  a

About  this  time  his  parents  died, 
And   Francis  made  his  moan;

Though  he  was  left  a-bme! 


N..w  Frami,  loved  a  pretty  maid, 

And    in    her    tindir   heart   this    spur/:

Now  Small   saw    he    looked    di-lre— ed- 
Jlis  face  was  drear  and  blank — 

And  s«  she  said,  "Oh.  tell   me  all: 
My  Francis,  pray  be  frank  I". 

"Oh,  Sarah,  all   my  money's  gone, 

Tis  that  which  me  dejects ; 
And   certaju   men,  without  n  cause,

Well,  then,  they  tried  a  change  of  hair, 

He  pressed  a  golden  curl, 
She  sobbed,  and  whispered  low,  "  Good-by  ! 

And  he  exclaimed,  •■  Good  yirl!" 


He  took  leave  of  his  grandmother, 
And  wiped  away  each  tear, 

And  said,  "Don't  grieve,  ./.«/■  gra 
I  shall  be  a  yrena-dicr .'" 


When  Francis  left   her  for  the  wars, 

Of  suitors  she'd  a  score, 
And  sighing  youths  thronged  Sarah's  doors, 


And  William  sued;    his  parts  of  speech 

She  ought  to  have  declined, 
But  thought  she  shouldn't  mind  the  change, 

And  h.p  >he   ■Jnunjcd  fitr  mind!

The  Parson  asked,  "Does  any  say 

She  may  not  be  this  man's?" 

"Oh,  Sarah,  Sarah,  you  did  vow

The  Doctor  shook  his  he* 

And  said  the  erring  Sarah   ■ 


And  after,  in  the  cold  church-yard, 
They  laid  her  in  the  ground ; 

Her   tomb,  lot   idle   folks  should   -.-off, 
With  railings  fenced  around. 

And    -till   they  say  (bat   she  is  seen, 
Furh  night   throughout  the  year, 

A-»-„tking    in    the   spirit,  though 
She's  lying  in  the  bier!! 


A  little  moral  you  may  glean 

From  all  that  you  have  heard : 
Whene'er  your  vow  you  give  away.

is  not  uncommon)  hotter  than  his  creed,  which 
was  already  a  somewhat  cynical  one.  He 
soothed  and"  encouraged  Mrs.  Lockwood;  prom- 
ised to  fid  her  of  tho  scoundrel  forever;  and 
adroitlv  said  a  word  or  two  to  the  cllcet  that  she 
had  better  not  trouble  her  husband  with  bo  an-

is  a  stupid  effort 

to  the  extension  of  freedom  ami  fair  play  in  this 
country  has  been  stubbornly  resisted  by  the 
Democratic  part;-.  Every  encroachment  made 
upon  the  equal  rights  of  innocent  citizens  has 
been  the  work  of  the  Democratic  party.  In 
our  history  it  will  be  known  a's  the  party  of 
slavery :  the  party  to  which  the  ignorant  and 
the  prejudiced  were  sympathetically  drawn, 
and  which,  under  the  name  of  Democracy, 
M,.|.;ivr>red  to  obstruct  liberty. 

The  Democratic  success  in  this  State  means 
in  the  second  place,  the  maintenance  of  the  pow- 
er of  a  ring,  of  which  the  Governor,  by  his  proc- 
lamation upon  the  frauds  and  his  signing  the 
Erie  Directors  bill,  iB  shown  to  be  the  instru- 
ment, and  which  places  upon  the  bench  of  the 
Superior  Court  Mr.  John  H.  M'Cunn.     The

COMPULSORY  EDUCATION. 

There  is  one  subject  which  should  be 
arefully  considered  by  the  Board  of  Ec 


m  is  necessary  any  where  in  the  country,  it  is 
re  in  the  city  of  New  York;  and,  therefore, 

ally  begin  here.  The  subject  wu  considered 
the  late  Constitutional  Convention,  and  was 

iderstood  to  have  been  quite  fully  discussed  in 

e  Committee  upon  Education.  But  it  seemed 
be  the  general  sentiment  that  the  time  had 

it  then  arrived  for  action,  and  although  Mr. 

pdtke,  who  made  many  very  valuable  propo- 
ions,  and  who  introduced  the  admirable  arti- 

2  upon  bribery,  which  was  incorporated  in 

invention,  he  had  little  support.     The  argu-

;  i-  eqnally 


At  the  late  Educational  Conference  in  Bir- 
mingham, in  England,  the  expression  of  opinion 
was  unanimous  upon  two  points :  first,  that  a 
system  should  be  established  to  secure  the  edu- 
cation of  every  child  in  the  kingdom;  and,  sec- 
ond,  that  every  child  shall  be  compelled  to  be 
educated.     The  word  education  was  used  to  de- 

tion.  The  Conference,  therefore,  agreed  upon 
what  "may  be  called  the  common-sense  view  of 
the  subject ;  and  we  trust  that  the  New  York

long  residence  in  this  country,  his  vital  sympa- 
thy with  popular  government,  and  his  careful 

United  States,  entitle  him  to  speak  upon  this 
subject  with  an  authority  which,  of  course, 
General  M'Mahon  would  not  claim  for  him- 
self.

miento  was  the  Argentine  Minister  to  the 
United  States,  he  wrote  of  Paraguay  and  Lo-

most  intelligent  of  the  foreign  residents  upon

usurped    it  when  the  Jesuits  were    expelled. 

"  Paraguay,"  says  Mr.  Sakmiento,  tf  is  a  plant- 

groes,  who  consider  themselves  the  property 
of  the  Lopez  family,  and  fight  for  them  be- 
cause these  chiefs  fight  against  the  white  men

quest  of  Lopez.  For  having  abolished  slavery 
fifty  years  before  we  did,  and  being  the  seat 
of  the  most  promising  political  and  industrial 
activity  in  South  America,  that  republic  natu- 
rally recoils  from  subjection  by  a  tyranny  com- 
pared with  which  the  most  brutal  known  among 
the  European  races  would  be  a  blessing.  *«  The 
triumph  of  Lopez,"  says  Mr.  Sarmiento,  near- 
ly two  years  ago,  "means  the  extension  to 
Uruguay  and  the  Argentine  Republic  of  the 
Guarini  Indian  despotism,  under  a  master  who 
is  dictator,  pope,  supreme  judge,  and  lord  of 
life  and  property."  That  these  words  truly 
describe  Lopez  no  one  who  has  investigated 
the  subject  doubts.  Yet  there  are  many  lib- 
eral papers  in  the  United  States  which  really 

the  partjes  in  the  Paraguayan  war,  and  that  an 
empire  is  trying  to  crush  a  republic.  Sarmi-

were  destined  to  earn  their  own  bread.  Person- 
ally speaking,  and  socially  speaking,  these  were 
the  only  points  of  resemblance  between  them. 

Blanche  was  passably  attractive  and  passably 
intelligent,  and  no  more.  Anne  was  rarely  beau-

were  worthy  people,  whose  first  consideration 
was  to  secure,  at  auv  sacrifice,  the  fuliire  well- 
being  of  their  child.  Anne's  parents  were  heart-

beauty,  and  to  turn  her  abilities  to  profitable  nc-

of  mine  wants  a  furnished  house  at  Hampstead. 
I  undertake  to  find  one  for  her,  and  the  day  I 
select  to  make  the  discovery  is  the  day  you  select 
for  dining  with  a  friend.  A  last  bouse  at  Hamp-

you.  Astonishing!"  She  turned  to  Mr.  Dela-

of  the  house  ?"  Before  a  word  could  he  said  by

' '  What  pretty  grounds !  Do  I  see  a  lady  in  the 
garden  ?  I  hope  I  have  not  driven  her  away. " 
She  looked  round,  and  appealed  to  Mr.  Vanbor-

dextrously  turned  Mrs   Vanborough  into  Mrs.

But  the  lawyer's  eye  was  habitually  watchful,

he  could  open  his  lips. 

"Might  I  ask  one  question?  Is  the  aspect 
south  ?  Of  course  it  is !  I  ought  to  see  by  the 
sun  that  the  aspect  is  south.  These,  and  the

suit  my  friend  than  any  I  have  seen  yet.  Will 
you  give  me  the  refusal  of  it  till  to-morrow?" 
There  she  stopped  for  breath,  and  gave  Mr.  De- 
lamayn his  first  opportunity  of  speaking  to  her. 

"I  beg  your  ladyship's  pardon,"  he  began. 

Mr.  Vanborough— passing  close  behind  him, 
and  whispering  as  he  passed— stopped  the  law-

"Whatever  the  mistake  may  be,"  she  said,

worse  than  of  trying  to  screen  the  frailties  of  his

"Do  you  hear  her?  do  you  see  her?"  cried 
Mrs.  Vanborough,  appealing  to  her  husband,  in 
her  turn.  She  suddenly  drew  back  from  him,

Mr.  Vanborough   looked    back   into   the  far 
corner  of  the  room,  in  which  the  lawyer  sat, 
penetrably  waiting  for  events.     "Oblige  me  by 
coming  here  for  a

Lady  Jane. 

"  I  beg  to  refer  you  to  my  man  of  business. 
He  is  not  interested  in  deceiving  you." 

"Am  I  required  simply  to  speak  to  the  fact?' 
asked  Mr.  Delamayn.     "I  decline  to  do  more.'r 

"  You  are  not  wanted  to  do  more." 

Listening  intently  to  that  interchange  of  ques- 
tion and  answer,  Mrs.  Vanborough  advanced  e 
step  in  silence.  The  high  courage  that  bad  sus- 
tained her  against  outrage  which  had  openly  de- 
clared itself  shrank  under  the  sense  of  something 
coming  which  she  had  not  foreseen.  A  nameless 
dread  throbbed  at  her  heart  and  crept  among  the

her  with  the  fixed  stare  o 
agony  in  the  great,  glittering  eyes.  "Take  m 
away!    That  woman  will  murder  me!" 

Mr.  Vanborough  gave  her  his  arm  and  led  her 
to  the  door.  There  was  dead  silence  in  the  roon 
as  ho  did  it.  Step  by  step  the  wife's  eyes  fol 
lowed  them  with  the  same  dreadful  stare,  till  th< 
door  closed  and  shut  them  out.  The  lawyer,  lef

would  come  back.  Looking  at  the  beautiful  face 
— still  beautiful  even  in  the  swoon — he  owned  it 
was  hard  on  her.  Yes !  in  his  own  impenetrable 
way,  the  rising  lawyer  owned  it  was  hard  on  her. 

But  the  law  justified  it.  There  was  no  doubt 
in  this  case.     The  law  justified  it. 

The  trampling  of  horses  and  the  grating  of 
wheels  sounded  outside.  Lady  Jane's  carriage

Thev  might  assist  Mr.  Lcvincourt  to  leave  Ship-

hi's  daughter's  story  was  not  known.  Fifty  plans 
passed  through  Maud's  brain,  as  her  pen  ran 
swiftly,  eagerly  over  the  paper.  She  wrote  with 
all  the  eloquence  she  could. 

Would  Veronica  be  willing  to  return  even 
when  she  know  the  truth  ?  Did  she  assuredly 
not  know  it  already  ?  On  these  questions  Maud 
would  not  dwell,  although  they  kept  presenting 
themselves  importunately  to  her  mind.  Her 
one  plain,  obvious  duty  was  to  tell  Veronica  the 
truth.  How  might  not  the  lost  girl  one  day  re- 
proach them  all  if  they  left  her  in  ignorance— if 


"  1  do  love  you,  Veronica,"  she  wrote  at  the

The  letter  was  sealed,  directed  ("not  without  a 
pang  of  conscience  at  the  written  lie)  to  "  Lady 
Gale,"  and  dispatched  to  the  post-office,  at  the 
same  time  with  a  few  lines  to  Mr.  Levincourt, 
inclosing  Veronica's  letter,  begging  him  to  read 
it,  and  telling  him  what  she  (Maud)  had  done. 

To  this  latter  epistle  came  an  answer  within  a

sibility conduce  to  the  raising  of  her  spirits. 
"But  if  I  am  not  feeling  gay  myself,"  thought 
Maud,  "I  will  not  be  so  selfish  as  to  cast  a  damp 
on  poor  Aunt  Hilda  when  she  is  inclined  to  be 
cheerful.  It  would  be  cruel  to  stand  in  the  way 
of  any  of  her  few  enjoyments." 

So  the  turned  poplin  was  put  on ;  and  Lady 
Tallis  yielded  with  some  reluctance  to  the  mod- 
est suggestion  of  Mrs.  Lockwood,  who  was  invito 


monized  with  the  pink  ribbons  in  the  cap._

xclaimed  Mr.  Augustus,  as 
"We  were  just  talking 
about  you*  Miss  Desmond— my  lady  and  I." 
■  The  intimation  was  not  altogether  pleasing  to 
Mand.  She  bowed  with  rather  stiff  politeness 
and  sat  down  next  to  her  aunt. 

"  I  was  just  saying  to  my  lady,"  proceeded 
the  gallant  Augustus,  "that  their  painted  hair 
has  no  chance  beside  yours.  They  can't  get  the 
shine,  you  know."  And  he  slightly  nodded  his 
head  in  the  direction  of  the  Misses  Dobbs's  ap- 
ple-green shirts,  which  were  disappearing  into 
the  second  drawing-room. 

Maud  felt  disgusted,  and  made  no  reply. 
'Lady  Tallis,  however,  raised  her  eyebrows 
and  inquired  with  much  interest,  ' '  Do  you,  now

thnt  she  was  very  different  in  every  respect  from

Desperate  characters  they  were,  to  be  sure! 
Convicts  recently  escaped  from  prison  and  bro- 
ken-down lawyers;  ticket-of-leave  men  from 
Botany  Bay  and  Norfolk  Island,  with  impover- 
ished "clergymen;  retired  organ-grinders,  with 
graduates  of  European  universities— all  were 
there.  I  man-el  now  at  the  coolness  with 
which  I  ventured  into  the  midst  of  such  a  crowd 
of  desperadoes.  But  I  myself  was  a  desperado. 
I  chose,  after  a  long  search,  a  place  in  a  re- 
mote cation  as  the  scene  of  my  labors.  Here  I 
made  my  rude  hut  and  proceeded  to  dig.  There 
were  neighbors  around  me.  In  fact  it  was  diffi- 
cult to  avoid  neighbors,  even  if  it  had  been  de- 
sirable.    No  matter  where  a  man  might  go,

seen  out  of  jail.  One  was  a  negro  of  enormous 
proportions,  black  as  a  coal,  with  the  expression 
of  an  untamable  savage  in  his  brutal  features. 
Another  was  a  long,  thin,  cunning,  treacherous

been  confined  for  twelve  years  in  the  Sing  Sing

It  was  sunset.  The  clouds  were  all  aflame. 
The  river  rolled  gloriously  by.  The  trees  tossed 
up  their  branches  in  the  evening  wiud  as  though 
bidding  the  day  farewell ;  from  the  forest  came 
a  burst  of  melody. 

There  I  stood",  a  rough,  ragged  miner,  in  the 
bottom  of  a  deep,  wet,  muddy  hole.  There  I 
stood  with  thrills  of  rapture  shooting  through 
me.  All  my  soul  entranced,  all  my  gaze  riveted 
on  one  glittering  mass  at  my  feet. 

I  was  master  of  wealth  untold  ! 

After  the  first  burst  of  joy  a  revulsion  came.

should  I  take  it  ?  Or,  if  I  did  not  carry  it  away, 
^  here  should  I  hide  it? 

These  thoughts  flashed  with  the  rapidity  of 
light  through  my  mind.     I  stood  now  overcome 


above  me.     Loo! 

suddenly  1  thought  I  saw  a  dusky  figui 

among  the  trees.     "  Is  that  Niggei  ''."  1  i

The  clatter  of  footsteps  was 
close  behind. 

With  the  frenzy  of  desperation,  I  rattled  at  the 
Spaniard's  door.     My  pursuers  wero  close  upon 

"  Let  me  in !     Save  me  I"  I  shouted. 

Hurried  footsteps  sounded  within.  The  bars 
rattled.  I  heard  a  heavy  sound,  I  was  pulled 
violently  inside,  the  door  was  banged  to  and  se- 
cured just  as  the  eager  blows  of  my  pursuers  fell 

"Just  in  time!"  he  murmured,  breathlessly. 
"Upstairs,  quick  1" 

He  held  a  lantern  in  his  hand.  By  its  light  I 
saw  a  rude  ladder  which  ascended  to  an  opening 
above.  I  clambered  up  as  I  was  directed.  The 
Spaniard  came  up  after  me.

I  had  heard  the  sound  before, 

shriek  after  shriek,  and  piteous  calls  for  mercy. 

The  only  answer  was  the  terrific  roar  which 
had  first  sounded,  and  sounds  as  of  breaking, 
crushing  bones.  In  a  few  minutes  all  was  still. 
The  Spaniard  descended.    He  was  not  gone  long. 

"It's  all  over!"  he  said,  returning. 

I  descended.  There  on  the  floor  lay  the  man- 
gled bodies  of  the  three  wretches,  and  in  the  cor-

I  left  the  hut  and  never  saw  the  Spaniard

Miie-tion  which  laid  tortured  the  mother's 
t  moments:  "Will  she  end  like  Mo?" 
Hut  two  events  of  importance  occurred  in  the

ight.  And  when  the  world  saw  it,  and  said, 
'Now  we  shall  do!"  the  Owls  shut  their  eyes

The  question  persistentlv  presented  itself  to 
her  mind :  Did  Mr.  Frost  know  the  story  of 
Veronica?  Was  he  aware  who  the  man  was 
with  whom  she  had  fled? 

Something  a  little  forced  and  unnatural  in  Mr. 

approaching  journey  had  st  ruck  her.  "Why  should 
he  have  selected  her  to  speak  to  respecting  Hugh 
Lockwood's  prospects?  Had  he  had  any  purpose

she  was  well  convinced.  Bi 
so,  Mrs.  Lockwood  would  have  heard  it  all  from 
Hugh.  Mr.  Frost  was  the  Lockwoods'  old  and 
intimate  friend.  Maud  resolved  to  speak  to  Mi's. 
Lockwood.  One  afternoon  after  their  early  din- 
ner she  stole  down  stairs,  leaving  Lady  Tallis 
asleep  according  to  custom.  Her  tap  at  the  par- 
lor door  was  answered  by  Mrs.  Lockwood's  soft 
voice,  saying,  "Come  in;"  and  she  entered. 

Mrs.  Lockwood  sat  at  the  table,  with  an  ac- 
count-book before  her.  She  looked,  Maud 
thought,  old  and  harassed. 

"  Do  I  disturb  you,  Mrs.  Lockwood?  Please

And  did  he  mean  to  learn  any  thing  or  tell  any

I  am  obliged  to  lock  my  thoughts  up  from  Aunt

But  I  thought  you  would  forgive  my  speaking  to 
you." 

"As  to  Mr.  Frost,  I  can  answer  you  in  two 
words.  He  knows  from  the  Lovegroves  that 
ave  left  Mr.  Levincourt's  house  because  his 
daughter  ran  away  under  particularly  painful  cir- 


of  gossip,  truly,  but  not  in  the  circles  ot  society

"Thank  you,  Mrs.  Lockwood,"  said  Maud, 

"I  infer  from  what  you  say  that  you  have 
somo  reason   to   believe   that   your  guardian's 

daughtei  is  at  present  in  Italy?" 


Mrs.  Lockwood  raised  her  eyebrows  and  lot 
ed  at  Maud  attentively. 

"I  know  I  can  trust  you  not  to  mention  t 
to  my  aunt.  You  understand  how  impnssibh 
is  for  me  to  speak  of  Veronica  to  her.  Ai 
Hilda  is  kind  and  gentle,  and  yet,  on  that  si 
ject,  she  speaks  with  a  harshness  that  is  v< 
painful  to  me." 


Lady  Tallis  has  been  infamously  treated. 

"You  must  understand,  if  you  please,  Mrs. 

Lockwood,  that  I  have  told  Mr.  Levincourt  of

Lastly  comes  the  printing.  If  the  lead  plate 
were  inked  in  the  ordinary-  way  with  inking-roll- 
ers,  and  passed  through  an  ordinary  printing- 
press,  the  print  obtained  would  consist  simply 
of  masses  of  black  and  white,  without  any  gra- 
dations or  half-tints  whatever;  this  would  result 
naturally  from  the  peculiar  mode  in  which  the 
plate  is  prepared.  An  ink  or  color,  however,  is 
got  ready,  consisting  of  water  and  gelatine  mixed 
with  some  kind  of  pigment  or  paint.  This  ink, 
instead  of  being  lightly  applied  by  means  of  a 
roller,  is  poured  as  a  liquid  all  over  the  plate ; 
a  sheet  of  paper  is  placed  upon  it;  a  light  press- 
ure is  applied,  sufficient  to  squeeze  out  all  the 
superfluous  ink  ;  and  the  paper  is  allowed  thus 
to  remain  until  .he  gelatine  in  the  ink  has  "set, 
or  slightly  solidified.  The  print,  when  removed, 
is  dipped' ill  n  fixing-batb,  which  renders  the  ink 

Another  curiosity  in  recent  photographic  art 
is  an  accident,  not  a  design— a  peculiarity  in  the 
camera-iens,  not  a  purposed  mode  of  producing 
negatives  and  positives.  A  photographer,  ink- 
ing a  photograph  with  a  particular  lens,  detected 
in  it  not  ot.lv  the  usual  portrait  of  the  sitter,  but 
ut  some  little  distance  a  copy,  phantom,  ghost, 
or  double  of  it— producing  what  was  certainly  a

April,  1859,  the  work  began.  In  May,  18G1

there  were  20,000  laborers  employed.  Th.

rapid  increase  of  the  utterly  foreign  element  in 
the  population,  the  swift  current  of  the  inev-

Whatever  treaty  is  made  must,  of  course,  be 
submitted  to  the  Senate,  and  will  undoubtedly 
be  thoroughly  considered  by  it  and  the  country  in 
every  aspect.  Meanwhile,  the  administration  of 
General  Grant  is  so  entirely  free  from  Buncomb, 
and  its  foreign  policy  has  been  so  sagacious, 
that  we  can  very  patiently  await  the  lifting  of 
the  veil  from  the  St.  Domingo  mystery.  Mr. 
Fish  is  not  likely  to  be  seduced  by  any  chimera 
of  manifest  destiny,  nor  do  his  official  fingers 
bum  to  (ilin-k  the  fruit  nl  territorial  acquisition 
before  it  is  fairly  ripe.  Still  less  is  the  Admin- 
istration capable  of  preparing  a  pretext  to  seize 
a  point  in  the  West  Indies  to  annoy  or  to  threat- 
en Spnin.  If  it  means  war  it  will  say  war.  It 
1ms  no  object  like  the  extension  and  defense  of 
slavery,  which  was  the  secret  of  the  continental 
policy  of  the  Democratic  administrations.  It

say:  "The  accounts  as  to  the  yield  of  the 

progressed,  and  millers  complain  that  the  new 

sorts  do  not  grind  a  good  color." 

The  defect  in  potatoes  and  wheat  is  one  of 

the  effects  of  the  drought  of  last  year,  which, 

although  it  gave  to  wheat  some  qualities  which 

in  the  moist  climate  of  England  are  not  ordi- 

narily imparted,  yet  prevented  the  full  maturity 

of  most  vegetable  products.     New  seed  pota-

,  against   184,937  of  v,  heal, 


mouths  ending  September  30,  1809,  are  not  less 
interesting  or  remarkable.  They  imported  from 
the  United  States  in  that  period  7,938,818  cwt. 
of  wheat,  and  968,505  cwt.  of  flour,  against 
only  4,714,203  cwt.  of  wheat,  and  500,182  cwt. 
of  flour,  for  the  equivalent  period  in  1808.  We 
reversed  positions  with  Russia,  hitherto  the 
largest  exporters  of  grnin  to  England.  For 
the  first  nine  months  of  1869  Russia  furnished 
4,7G3,704  cwt.  of  wheat,  although  in  1868,  for 
that  period,  she  had  forwarded  7,142,034. 

But  the  unfortunate  result  to  the  United 
States  is  this,  that  although  her  most  important 
competitors  were  crippled  with  the  same  drought 
which  prevailed  over  England,  the  value  of  our 
shipments  of  wheat,  fi>r  the  first  eight  months 

£3,548,158,  while  the  inferior  quantity  in  1868 
received  a  valuation  of  £3,590,570. 

Wheat  has  recently  fallen  in  England,  not- 
withstanding the  need  of  increased  imports, 
to  a  price  lower  than  the  average  for  several 
years,  which  is  thus  explained:  "The  flatness

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


THE  CLEVELAND  CONVENTION. 

The  Convention   nt  Cleveland  to  form  ai 


of  the  cause  that  it  has  been  unnecessarily  prej- 
udiced  in  the  public  mind  by  a  thousand  tollies 
that  have  been  associated  with  it,  but  which 
have  no  connection  with  it.  The  foolish  prac- 
tice of  calling  a  convention  to  discuss  a  grave 
political  question,  and  then  permitting  every- 
body to  discuss  every  thing,  has  retarded  and 
turned  to  ridicule  the  most  serious  efforts  of 
the  most  earnest  persons.  Undoubtedly  the 
action  of  the  Cleveland  Convention  will  tend  to 
hold  the  movement  strictly  to  its  purpose.  That 
purpose  is  not  repudiation  of  the  national  debt, 
nor  defeat  of  the  Fifteenth  Amendment,  nor  an 

the  political  di-at.iliry  of  women. 

These  subjects  may  all  be  worthy  of  the  most 
careful  consideration,  and  it  may  be  desirable 
to  form  societies  and  hold  meetings  to  agitate 
them  and  to  affect  public  opinion  ;  but  if  a  free- 
trade  convention  should  allow  the  apostles  of 
Shakerism  to  occupy  their  time,  or  if  the  meet- 
ings to  secure  an  eight-hours  law  should  sur- 
render their  platform  to  discussions  upon  tem- 
perance, nothing  but  confusoin  would  ensue. 
Even  the  old  Abolitionists,  who  seemed  to 
think  that  the  right  of  free  speech  meant  the 
right  of  any  body  to  say  any  thing  at  any  time 
and  any  where,  could  not  quite  hold  to  their 
own  rule,  and  finally  removed  by  force  from 
their  meetings  Father  Larson  and  A  buy  Fol- 
som,  whose  freedom  of  speech  enslaved  the 
speech  of  every  body  else.

equality  requires  the  most  thoughtful  consid- 
eration, which  it  certainly  will  not  receive  so 

mind  with  the  most  ludicrous  vagaries  of  folly 

The  advantage  of  a  reasonable  method  in 
presenting  the  subject  was  seen  at  the  late 
meeting  in  Hartford.  The  speakers  were  pre- 
viously invited,  and  they  came  prepared.  The 
intention  of  the  meeting  was  not  general  dis- 
cussion, but  specific  presentation ;  and  when 
the  work  was  done  in  the  manner  proposed,  the 
meeting  adjourned.  Any  thoughtful  person 
who  read  the  Hartford  speeches  would  not  deny 
that  there  was  more  weight  and  reason  in  them 
than  in  those  of  any  of  our  ordinary  political 
conventions.  Indeed,  one  such  meeti 
^lii'-li  inn-Hieent  wumen  take  part  U  in  itself  a

TWO  GLIMPSES  OF  THE   SOUTH-

The  darkest  picture  of  the  condition  of  the 
Southern  States  since  the  war  is  that  drawn  by 
Mr.  Parker  Pillsbury,  one  of  the  original 
uncompromising  abolitionists,  who  has  lately

takes  care  to  explain  that  the  sad  condition  of 
the  colored  population  at  the  South  is  directly 
due  to  slavery,  and  that  in  his  opinion  the  Dem- 
ocratic party  and  the  Church  wore  the  great 
bulwarks  of  slavery.  He  finds  the  gloomy  sit-

speaking  with  an  unaffected  modesty  and  sim-

financial  power  to  compel  acquiescence  in  their 
terms.  The  fall  in  the  price  of  all  exporta- 
ble commodities,  which  lias  accompanied  the 
downward  turn  in  gold,  has  doubtless  produced 
a  corresponding  change  in  the  quotations  at 
Mark  Lane,  as  it  is  stated  in  their  press  that 
they  rely  chiefly  on  the  United  States  to  furnish 
this  year  their  requisite  supplies.  The  happen- 
ing of  the  failures  in  Liverpool  is  consequently 

the  Treasury  Department  in  bearing  gold.  If

will  make  the  fall  permanent,  which  cau  he

asmuch as  the  latter  are  made  redeemable  in 
the  former,  which  might  be  difficult  if  their 
present  relative  proportions  to  each  other  were 
changed.  But  in  lieu  of  this,  plans  for  new  na- 
tional banks  to  answer  the  demand  of  the  West 
and  South,  and  of  new  hanks  on  the  basis  of 
coin,  are  proposed  and  supported  by  newspa- 
pers ordinarily  regarded  as  indicators  of  com-

differences,  as  to  which  no  light  is  shown  by  the 

others  high  in  authority. 

cie  payments  are  not  of  the  character  to  show 
that  any  matured  plan  had  been  arrived  at  or 
was  in  contemplation,  and  it  may  be  inferred, 
therefore,  that  the  subject  will  be  referred  to

classes,  and  as  the  proportions  of  the  one  to  the 


GEORGE  PEABODY'S  MONUMENT. 

When  Oliver  Goldsmith  lay  dead  in  his 
humble  lodgings,  the  poor  people  whom  he 
had  befriended  sat  weeping  upon  the  stairs. 
And  when,  reading  his  biography,  you  come  to 
that  point,  your  own  eyes  are  very  likely  to 
moisten;  for  Goldsmith  is  one  of  the  few 
authors  whom  we  all    personally   love.      No 

day,  and  none  could  have  been  dearer  to  his

ENGLAND  IN  INDIA. 

Tin;  debate  upon  annexation  of  foreign  te 
ritory  which  is  constantly  proceeding  in  th 
i-niiiitry  naturally  invites  consideration  of  tl 
|.i.-M-iice  of  England  in  India,  and  suggests  ll 
qiicMiiui  whether,  upon  the  whole,  it  has  bet 
an  advantage  to  civilization  and  the  world, 
the  history  of  the  beginning  of  the  British  o 
cupation  is  full  of  cruelties  and  tragedies,  \ 
may  wisely  remember  the  story  of  our  own  sc 
tlement  in  America,  and  the  Indian  wars  at

of  pretexts,  in  fact  it  was  a  shameless,  cow- 
ardly robbery.  As  for  Oude,  any  one  who  has 
read  the  "Life  of  an  Eastern  King,"  published 
some  fifteen  years  since,  will  agree  with  us 
that -an//  civilized  rule  must  confer  blessings  on 
the  inhabitants  of  that  fertile  region,  who  had 
so  long  suffered  under  their  own  cruel,  licen- 
tious, and  despotic  sovereigns.  The  Sikhs, 
who,  under  their  able  and  astute  Maharajah, 
Runjeet  Singh,  had  been  stanch  allies  of  the 
British,  so  long  as  he  lived  to  restrain  their 
audacity,  poured  across  the  Sutlej  on  his  death, 
invading  English  territory,  and  after  the  usual 
routine  of  defeat,  treaty,  breach  of  faith,  re- 
newed hostilities,  and  final  conquest,  have  since 
enjoyed  the  greatest  prosperity

THE  REASON  WHY. 


Times  i 


"The 


very  willingly  stand  asido  to  leave  women  to 
settle  it  among  themselves."  The  article  is  an 
amplification  of  ibis  amusing  statement,  and  its 
moral  is,  that  if  women  do  not  vote  it  is  be- 
cause they  do  not  wish  to.  But,  if  the  Times 
really  supposes  that  this  is  the  fact,  it  should 
inform  itself  a  little.     If  it  imagines  that  some 

not  wish  to,  it  would  perhaps  be  useful  for  the 
Times  as  a  public  teacher,  to  know  that  the  rea- 
son no  woman  votes  is  that  men  will  not  permit 
it.  The  fundamental  law  of  the  State  is  made 
by  men,  and  it  restricts  the  political  franchise 
to  men.  It  is  merely  absurd  to  say  that  they 
would  carefully  establish  so  immense  an  ex- 
clusion if  they  were  wholly  indifferent  to  it. 

The  Times  repeats  the  old  remark,  that  when 
the  majority  of  women  wish  to  vote  they  will 
be  admitted  to  the  suffrage,  as  a  matter  of 

such  changes  of  fundamental  laws  are  made. 
Were  the  newly  admitted  voters  in  England

it  also  to  ho  gravely  urged  that  when  the  ma- 

genius  for  any  profession  or  art  should  devote 
lemselves  to  it,  they  will  of  course  be  allowed 
i  do  so?  The  question  must  he  decided  upon 
rations.  Ii  there  be  no  ob- 
g  of  those  women  who  wish 


wish  to,  the  argument  is  suddenly  shifted,  ai 
it  becomes  the  duty  of  those  who  make  the  b

The  pursuit  of  this  foolish  train  ot  thought 
had  caused  me  to  rise  from  my  chair,  and  I  was 
staring  vacantly  into  the  glass  on  my  mantle-

of  the  reflected  figure  did  not  correspond  to  my 
own.  If  I  stirred  it  remained  still,  or  moved  in 
a  different  manner.  The  eyes  alone,  which  were 
fixed  on  mine,  obeyed  the  ordinary  laws  of  re- 
flection. Presently,  my  own  arms  being  folded, 
the  figure  extended  one  of  its  hands.  I  extended 
a  hand  too,  and  the  figure,  lightly  inclining  for- 
ward, grasped  it  firmly.  Instinctively  X  endeav-

On— on  I  was  pulled,  and  for  a  few  seconds 
found  mvseif  enveloped  in  darkness.  I  seemed 
conscious  of  nothing  but  vacuity,  when  suddenly 
the  grasp  ceased,  and  I  was  once  more  in  the 
light,  seated  at  a  table,  opposite  to  a  venerab.e 
old  lady,  whose  white  hair,  neatly  parted  horn 
the  middle  of  the  forehead,  was  surmounted  by 
Hie  most  respectable  of  caps.  She  was  absorbed 
in  the  perusal  of  a  large  book,  which  lay  open 
before  her.  Not  knowing  how  I  should  be  re- 
ceived, I  refrained  from  interrupting  her  stud- 
ies   and  took  a  leisurely  survey  of  the  room. 

In  shape  it  was  a  prism.  The  ceiling  and 
floor  were  equilateral  triangles,  and  the  walls 
were,  consequently,  three  in  number.  The  table, 
too,  was  triangular,  to  were  the_  seats  of  the 
chairs,  each  of  which  had  three  legs,  and  a  huge 
bird-cage,  containing  a  vulture  was  in  keeping 
with  the  furniture.  Door,  window,  or  tire-place, 
there  was  none-  the  only  admission  to  fresh  air 
being  afforded  by  a  '.riangular  ventilator,  imme- 
diately under  the  ceiling.  On  the  tew  shelves 
wluch  broke  the  monotony  of  the  walls  were 
placed  some  oh

The  surprising  development  of  our  national  resources,  and  the  rapidit 
ment  is  now  enabled  to  reduce  the  national  debt,  by  weekly  purchases,  render  it  apparent  that  the 
time  is  approaching  when  the  Five-Twenty  bonds  may  be  funded  at  not  over  four  or  four  and  a 
half  per  cent,  interest. 

Meanwhile  their  high  price,  as  compared  witli  other  elates  of  securities  paying  an  equal  rate  of 
interest,  is  leading  to  general  in.  miry  for  more  pi  oliiable  funis  of  investment  in  which  money  may

and  one  that  it  should  not  hesitate  to  dis-

But  nobody  should  be  deceived.  The  ol

Frauds  are  not  perpetrated  without  swindlers,

Hester  Dethridge  advanced  slowly  to  the  table 
which  Lady  Lundie  was  sitting.     A  slate  and

Another  affirmative  reply.  The  first  whicr

She  eagerly  went  on  to  the  next  inquiry.

Once  she  s|>oke  to  Sir  John  on  the  subject. 

It  was  after  a  fit  of  depression  and  tears,  and 
she  wns  unable  to  suffer  alone.  She  felt  im- 
pelled to  muke  him  share  her  pain. 

'*  1  do  wonder  how  papa  is!"  she  said,  unex- 
pectedlv,  as  they  were  sitting  alone  together  in 
the  twilight. 


"It  is  not  sudden.     Because  I  have  kept  it  to 
myself  so  long,  you  can  not  understand  that  I 

have  been  suffering  all  this  time!" 

she  had  been  generously  sparing  him.  She  knew 
herself  to  have  been  unhappy  at  intervals,  and 
omitted  to  observe  that  the  first  moment  she  had 
felt  the  desire  to  speak  of  her  unhappiness  to  Sir 
John,  she  had  yielded  to  it  without  a  thought  of 
restraining  herself  for  his  sake. 

"Well,  what  can  I  Jo?     Can  I  help  it  if  they

She  was  willing  to  be  put  on  good  terms  with 
herself  at  any  body's  expense— save  Maud's— 
and  she  smiled  contemptuously  at  the  recollec- 

their  gloating  over  such  a 
chance  ot  punishing  you  for  having  had  the  cour- 

"  II  Principe  Cesare  de'  Barletti,"  announced 
a  servant  at  this  moment,  and  the  tete-a-tete  in- 

The  prince  was  a  constant,  and  nearly  the 
only,  visitor  at  Villa  Chi 
iner.  One  or  two  other 
a  stray  attache',  left  behind  in  solitary  responsi- 
bility "during  the  absence  of  his  chief,  and  be- 
wailing his  fate;  a  belated  Prussian  grandee, 
passing  through  on  his  way  from  the  sea-baths 
at  Leghorn  to  tho  northern  side  of  the  Alps. 
No  l-.ngtish  came,  and  no  ladies. 

Early  in  September  people  began  to  return  to 
Florence.  Veronica  made  various  indirect  at- 
tempts to  see  and  to  be  seen  by  such  of  the  fash- 
ionable world  as  were  already  to  be  found  driv- 
ing in  tho  Cascine  toward  the  sunset  hour,  and 
inhaling  the  evening  miasma  heroically.  But 
Sir  John  opposed  her  desire  in  this  particular. 
And  had  it  not  been  for  a  hope  which  never 
abandoned  her  altogether  (though  it  flickered 
low  at  times),  and  for  Prince  Cesare  de'  Barlet- 
ti, she  would,  she  told  herself,  have  found  the 
ennui  ot  her  secluded  life  intolerable. 

Sir  John  encouraged  Barletti  to  come.  If  he 
had  not  desired  Barletti's  presence  at  the  villa, 
Sir  John  would  unquestionably  have  been  re-

these  moods  of  hers  were  agreeable  to  Sir  Johi 
tho  latter  especially  so.  Then  there  wns»the  ci 
cumstance  that  Barletti,  with  all  his  poverty  at

he  might  occasionally  entertain  as  to  his  own  im- 
portance in  the  world,  and  as  to  the  supremacy 
of  wealth,  to  contemplate  a  penniless  prince  flat- 
tering him  for  a  dinner. 

As  we  are  all  apt  to  believe  what  we  wish, 
Sir  John  rather  overestimated  the  attractions 
of  his  dinners,  and  the  impression  that  his  riches 
made  on  Barletti. 

Eafly  in  October  Sir  John  announced  his  in- 
tention of  going  to  Naples  for  the  winter.  Ve- 
ronica was  genuinely  delighted  at  the  news. 
Bnt,  with  n  petty  perversity  which  she  some- 
times indulged  in  toward  Sir  John,  she  received 
it  very  coldly.  He  had  made  her  summer  pass 
in  inexpressible  boredom;  and  she  was  resolved

"  We  shall  be  able  to  have  a  little  gayety  and

brittle  and  untrustworthy.

he  says.     He  is  coming  to  himself." 

Sir  John  did  revive.  Some  semblance  of  life 
returned  to  his  face,  which  had  grown  strangely 
livid. 

His  eyes  fell  on  Veronica,  and  he  turned  them 
away  with  a  look  of  impatience. 

"  What  is  it?"  she  cried,  bending  over  him. 
"  Can  you  not  speak  to  me  ?" 

Sir  John  feebly  tried  to  raise  his  handkerchief 
to  his  mouth,  and  failed.  He  looked  appealing- 
ly  at  Paul.who  immediately  wiped  the  water  from 

way.      Still  Sir  John  did  not.  speak, 

Paul  watched  him  intently ;  and  at  last  said 
to  Veronica :  "  You  had  better  go  away,  miladi. 
I  shall  call  Ansano  by-and-by,  and  help  Sir  John 


"  Pardon,  miladi.  I  fear  I  startled  you. 
matting  is  so  soft,  it  deadens  footsteps.  I 
wanted  to  say  that  Sir  John  mm  h  w, -1.es 
the  other  domestics  should  not  be  told  of  h 
tie  indisposition.  He  dislikes  a  fuss,  he 
miladi." 

"Oh!  he  has  spoken  to  you,  then!  H 
he?" 

"Sir  John  is  much 
made  him  faint.     It  ii 

Veronica  sat  down  in  her  boudoir,  and  tried 
to  think  steadily  of  what  had  just  happened. 
She  did  not  believe  that  it  had  been  a  mere 
fainting  fit.  There  had  been  a  strange  look  in 
Sir  John's  face,  unlike  any  thing  she  had  ever 
seen  before.  Was  he  very  ill?  "Was  he  going 
to  die? 

She  rose  and  moved  restlessly  about  the  room. 
Then  she  stopped  suddenly,  and  reflected  that 
Paul  had  shown  no  apprehension.     Paul  had 


,  slieulied  ai 
link  coverinii 


beat  with  dreadful  rapidity,  and  she  waited  in 
the  tremor  of  suspense  and  fear,  expecting  to  be 
summoned  by  Paul's  voice.  No  one  came.  The 
afternoon  was  waning,  and  at  last  she-heard  one 
singing  a  Tuscan  love- 


id   her   cheek   against   the 
ct  was   to   lock    the   <).».,r 
with  the  corridor.     There 
was  another  door  in  the  boudoir  leading  to  her 

cess.  Then  she  went  to  the  looking-glass  and 
cniii.'mi'lated  herself. 

"What  a  ghost  I  look!"  she  thought,  "and 
how  I  have  been  tormenting  myself!  And  per- 
haps for  nothing,  after  all !" 

She  hesitated  for  a  moment,  but  finally  took  a 
book  from  the  table,  unlocked  the  door  of  the 
boudoir,  rang  the  bell,  and  returned  to  the  sofa. 

"Miladi  rang?". -aid  her  maid,  coming  to  the 
door.  Veronica  had  taught  all  the  servants  to 
give  her  that  title. 

"Yes.  What  o'clock  is  it?  I  shall  not  dress 
for  dinner.  I  fell  asleep  over  my  book,  and 
have  made  my  head  ache.  Get  me  some  eau

"The  signor  principe  is  under  the  west  loggia, 
smoking  a  cigar." 

"  Have  you  mentioned  to  him  that  Sir  John

stay  to  amuse  and  cheer  Sir  John  a  little  this 

After  e 

nation  to  Paul. 

The  latter  bowed  and  withdrew. 

Veronica  waited  until  his  footsteps  had  died 
away  in  the  corridor ;  then  she  said,  putting  her 
hand  to  her  forehead  with  the  gesture  of  one 
struck  with  a  sudden  remembrance:  "Oh,  I 
forgot  to  give  Paul  a  message  for  Sir  John  !" 

"Shall  I  go,  miladi?"  asked  Beppina. 

"No,  never  mind.     I  will  go  myself.     Give 


i  dinner  dress- 


Veronica  passed  through  her  boudoir  and  de- 
scended the  staircase  leading  to  Sir  John's  apart- 
ments, which  were  on  the  ground-floor.  Al- 
tered one  of  the  long  suit  of  reception-rooms 
which  occupied  the  whole  west  side  of  the  villa  ; 
opened  n  glass  door,  and  stepped  out  into  tho 
loggia.  Cesare  de'  Barletti  was  smoking  in  tho 
loggia,  as  Paul  had  said.  As  soon  as  he  per- 
ceived Veronica,  he  threw  away  his  cigar  and 
advanced  toward  her,  hat  in  hand.

The  subject  has  been  sadly  confused  by  Mr. 
Seward's  change  of  position,  and  by  Mr.  Risv- 
erdv  Johnson's  absurd  determination  to  have 
every  thing  pleasant  by  calling  it  so.  He  was 
unanimously  confirmed  as  Minister.  He  came 
from  the  Senate  itself,  the  treaty-ratifying  body. 
He  was  approved  after  other  gentlemen  had 
been  rejected.  The  chief  question  between 
Englnnd  and  tlie  United  States  was  the  Ala- 
bama controversy.  It  was  a  very  naturnl  con- 
clusion upon  the  part  of  Englishmen  that  Mr. 
Johnson-  represented  the  policy  of  his  country; 
and  when  every  proposition  he  made  was  ac-

lining  power;  that  Mr.  Johnson  was 
political  sympathy  with  it,  however  his 
nation  might  have  seemed  to  disprove 
ict ;  and  that  as  Mr.  Johnson's  conven- 
'  November  10  bad  been  unanimously  re-

denunciation  of  the  system  of  gove

of  the  Albany  council  of  the  chiefs,  and  i

Of  course  the  papers  and  orators  of  the  party 
affect  to  argue  the  point  upon  other  grounds. 
It  was  what  they  did  during  the  angry  debate 
upon  slavery.     They  used    to   say  then    that 

ity  and  expediency  of  slavery,  it  was  a  State 
institution,  and  the  State  recognizing  slaves  as 
property,  iis  citizens  might  lawfully  take  their 
property  with  them  into  the  territories.  Prop- 
erty iu  the  territories!  Why,  the  entire  Dem- 
ocratic party  in  the  Northern  States  was  the 
property  of  the  slaveholders,  and  they  did  with 
it  as  with  their  slaves,  just  what  they  chose. 
Slavery  was  confirmed,  intrenched,  extended,

aveholders,  that,  whatever  may  be  their

"  Sir  Patrick  would  tell  you,  Mr.  Brinkworth,

other  dog  of  his  race.  Hi-  intelligence  and  arniu

Many  of  those  dogs  perished  while  thus  ful-

however,  was  that  which  Barry  himself  met 
with  more  than  fifty  years  ago.  One  day,  hav- 
ing found  a  man  nearly  frozen  to  death  in  the 
snow— a  deserter  from  the  Austrian  army— the 
noble  animal  by  unceasing  efforts  succeeded  in 
resuscitating  him.  The  soldier,  unable  to  ac- 
count for  the  presence  of  a  dog  in  that  dreary 
solitude,  frightened  out  of  his  wits  by  its  inces- 
sant howls,  and  fancying  it  to  have  been  sent  out 
by  his  pursuers  to  track  him,  drew  his  sabre  and

it  does  not  afford  sufficient  protection  against

himself  at  liberty  to  take  his  axe  and  stroll  out 
into  the  wood  fur  an  hour's  sharp  exercise.  Ii 
his  prime,  he  thought  nothing  of  throwing  off  i 
novel  in  a  month.     "Guy  Mannering"  was  writ 

thought  easy  work.  Very  frequently,  however. 
Sir  Walter  had  a  brace  of  novels  on  hand  togeth- 
er, or  a  novel  and  a  poem,  or  two  or  three  re 

'•Ivanlioc"  and  the  ".Monastery"  \

there  is  in  all  Sir  Walter  Scott's  works  much

Sir  Walter  Scott  literature  was  not  an  art,  but  a 
trade.     What  was  good  enough  for  the  public, 
was  good  enough  for  him  ;   and  his  cardinal  test 
of  the  value  of  his  work  was  the  price  of  its  copy- 
right and  its  sale.     In  poetry,  he  wrote  by  in- 
spiration;  taking  up  his  pen,  like  Byron,  only 


humor."     This  was  not  generally  a  very  hard 
task;    and  when  he  had  got  mtu  a  good-humor 
with  his  work,  he  wrote  on  as  freely  and  as  gay- 
lv  as  he  talked.     His  manuscripts  testify  suffi-

'Hie.  dinner  seemed  to  he  spun  out  to  an  intol-

most ascetic  temperance  of  his  own  countrywo-

in  his  zeal,  and  the  elation  of  being  left  to  his

and  his  while,  wrinkled  hand: 

"  Here  is  Prince  Cesare  de'  Barletti,"  said  Ve- 
ronica, seating  herself  on  a  low  chair  near  the 
sofa.  "  He  wanted  to  go  away  when  he  heard 
that  you  were  not  well;  but  I  made  him  stay." 

"Oh  !"  said  Sir  John,  in  a  kind  of  grunt. 

The  greeting  was  so  exceptionally  uncourt- 
eous  even  for  Sir  John,  that  Barletti  rose  up  as 
though  he  were  moved  by  a  spring  over  which 
his  will  had  no  control,  and  said,  "  I  regret  my 
intrusion.  If  I  had  supposed  for  a  moment  that 
monsieur  \?  haron  was  seriously  ill— " 

"Who  says  so?  I  am  not  seriously  ill!" 
snarled  Sir  John. 

"  Of  course  not!"  interposed  Veronica,  quick- 
ly. "I  said  so.  If  Sir  John  had  been  seriously 
ill,  it  would  be  another  matter.  But  his  indis- 
position was  of  the  very  slightest,  and  it  is  now 
nuitegone." 

Either,  she  thought,  he  must  confess  to  being 
so  indisposed  that  the  presence  of  a  stranger  irked 
him,  or  he  must  ask  Barletti  to  remain.  But 
Sir  John  did  neither.     Whichever  one  of  several

"Yes,"  he  said,  speaking,  as  he  had

lirularing  indistinctly:  "I  am  quite  wel

II  was  jilmost  impossible  to  resist  thi 
but  Barletti  caught  a  glance  from  V 
which  so  plainly  begged  him  to  remain,  '

Not  at  all.     I  shall  stay  ami

wish   to  stay?     That  he   evidently 


yield. 

"Frankly,  my  dear  friend,"  said  Sir  John, 
making  an  odd  grimace,  as  though  he  had  tried 
to  smile  and  failed,  "I  will  to-night  have  nei- 
ther chat  nor  cards.     I  decline  your  company  1 

I  know  you  won't  be  angry  if  I  beg  you  to  leave 
me  to  myself,  or,"  he  added,  slowly  turning  his 
eyas  on  Veronica,  "to  miladi.  That  is  myself; 
it's  .|uite  the  same  thing." 

But  in  looking  at  Veronica  he  surprised  a 
glance  of  intelligence  passing  from  her  eyes  to 
Barletti.  Sir  John  could  not  change  the  direc- 
tion of  his  own  gaze  quickly  enough  to  catch  the 
answering  look  on  the  prince's  face;   his  facial 


himself  to-

"  Uneasy!"  echoed  Sir  John.      "Que  diable, 
Barletti,  who  is  likely  to  be  uneasy?"

might  happen"  showed  a  little  less  dreadful. 

Meanwhile  Sir  .T<>bu  lav  on  the  sofa  watching

of  the  ideas  he  had  hitherto  entertained  to  ha\e

disagreeable  enough),  but  because,  also,  it  would

Barletti  admired  Veronica  extremely.  And  her 
presence  was  a  strong  attraction  to  him,  By- 
nnd-by  it  began  to,,™  to  him  that  it  might  be 
worth  his  while  to  pay  bis  court  to  this  beautiful 

at  iirst  contemplated.  [Sir  John  was  failing.  He 
might  die  and  leave  a  rich  widow,  who  would 
become  a  prey  to  needy  fortune-hunters  ;  to  for- 
lunc-hunters  who  would  not  have  the  same  nd-

<o  such  men  as  lie  had  seen  and  known  engaged 
in  the  chase  after  a  wife  with  money.  He  made 
no  definite  plan,  but  suffered  himself  to  drift  on 
lazily,  with  just  so  much  intention  as  sufficed  to 
modify  his   behavior  in  many  subtle,   nameless 


Barletti  really  had  a  fund  of  kindliness  in 
He  was  becoming  fond — with  a  fondness  : 
and  more  tender  than  that  inspired  bv  the 
contrast  of  diahionds  on  a  satin  skin  — of 
girl,  so  young,  so  beautiful,  and  so  lonely  !  1 
the  moment  when  she  had  appealed  to  hii 
some  sort  for  advice  and  support,  a  film 
manhood  was  stirred  in  him  on  her  behalf, 
would  have  even  made  some  kind  of  active 
rifice  for  her.  No.  despite  Sir  John1*  inital 
ami  insolence.  Barletti  confirmed  to  endure 
ing  bis  cab-horse  toil  up  the  hill  overhanging 
Ema,  evening  after  evening. 

And  Sir  John  Gale  did  net  scruple  to  n 
use  of  Barletti.      He  would  give  him  little  < 

him  to  read  up  the  news  of  the  day  and  rutin

Original 


Colo, 


Phalon's  "Vita^Ta."  differs 
utterly  from  aj^the  "dyes," 
"  colorers,"V^nd  "  restorers  " 
(?)  in  sise.  It  acts  on  a 
totally  dwfercnt  principle.  It 
is  limpidVfragrant,  and  per- 
fectly innorarSHjs,  precipitates 
no  muddy  or  flaosulent  mat- 
ter, requires  no  shafcng  up, 
and  communicates  no\tain  to 
the  skin  or  the  lineil.  No 
«savy  to 
conceal  its  turjjkr*appearance, 
for  the  sim^ie  reason  that  it  is 
not  turbijf.  It  is,  to  all  intents 
and  pu/poses,  a  new  discovery 
in  Toilflt  Chemistry. 

JW  PhaWs  "  Vitalia"  is 
warranted  to  errsct  a  change 
in  the  color  of  thenar  within 
]  o  days  after  the  nrst\applica- 
tion,  the  direction/  being 
carefully  observed 
IT  IS  AS  CLK^R  AS  WATER  ! 
AND  J<AS  NO  SEDIMENT. 

Price,  f)ne   Dollar  per  Box, 


Sold  by  allSsjruggists. 
If  your  Druggie  has  not 
"  Vitalia  "  on  hand/  write,  en-
