* CARCANKT.
AT E. H kTODDABP.
Not what th chemist* ay they be,
Are pear U—they never grew;
They come not from the hollow see,
They come from heaven in dew 1
Down in the Indian sea it slips,
Through green and briny whirls.
Where great shells catch it in their lips,
And kiss it into pearls!
If dew can be so beauteous made,
Oh. why not tears, my girl ?
Why not your tears ? Be not afraid—
I do but kiss a pearl!
I Scribner for March.
TURKISH BATTLE HONG.
Cp, wearers of fezzes! Up, owners of tur
bans 1 „ . .
You dwellers in Stamboal, you Pera suburb
-
Prepare to tako part in the battle’s concus
sions.
And walk, like red thunderbolts, into those
Russians !
Wave high the standard—the Shirt of the
Prophet:
At least, to speak properly, all that's left of it.
Ho, your swords by your sides, and your hands
on their handles.
March out and demolish those eaters of can
dles.
Come from th e mosque, cutting short genu
flexion;
Como from the slave girls waiting ic spection :
Come from the coffee house, leave the tobac
conist’s ;
First put your pipee out, and then your antag
onists !
Come from the bath, where the grim gr. shag
nigger
He rapes off your skin at a very low figure ;
Quit, now, the harem, with its smiles and its
cushions, .
And make up your minds to astonish those
Rooshians!
BARRIERS!.
Between thy life and mine
Rugged and strong, resistless.barriers rise;
Day after day they show a sterner front
Uplifted to the skies.
Hbuttiiig me out from thee.
Ofttimos there comes a blinding mist and rain,
But through the darkest, thi -kest cloud I know
The sun will shine again 1
Between thy life and mine
Halien and cold the turbid waters roll;
Beneath their angry waves hope’s bark was
wrecked
Long e’er it reached its goal;
Yet in the quiet deep |
"Faith’s anchor holds” fast with its golden
chain
Binding two hearts that else would drift away
Upon a sea of pain !
Between thy life and mine
Ptretehee Afar a wide and dreary plain;
Acrosa the waste we gaze with longing eyes,
Heart cries to heart—in vain;
The echoes answer back
"In vain, in vain;" and so we turn away,
With one long, shivering sign of agony,
In loneliness to stray!
Between thy life and mine
The liu4 of fate has woven some bright
threads,
With one glittering radiance thro’ these shad
owed days
A steadfast luster sheds.
Parted though we must he,
These golden fibres shall our hearts entwine,
The sweetuens of unspoken sympathy
Blending thy life and mine.
TWILIGHT.
Oft ae thy thoughts are overproud and tray _
With pomps of Life and glorfea of too Worm.
Or Sorrow’s knotted serpents round thee curl and
Fetter thine arms and eat thine heart away.
Turn hack and look upon the solemn Past!
Think thou what all hath been, what all shall
be
Oliose pale gray lines of our Mortality
Are Joys that faded, woes that could not
last.
Stand thou on Memory's peak at set of Day.
And in the dosty air ’twixt Noon and Night
Which is the funeral toroh, and which the
light
That goes before the bridal, eauat thou Bay ?
As moon-lit gardens with thoir alleys gray
Invite more lovers than the glorious Morn ;
as the bright Champaign with its waved com
Into soft seas of azure dies away ;
As Mountains with their pinnacle of ice,
Aa barren crags lit with the llamo of Even
Look beautiful, and stars come forth in Heav
©ll
When Day no longer dazzles in the skies ;
As unseen violets yield their rarest balm.
As trumpet notes wsx sweet upen the wind,
As lovely colors float before the blind,
As torrent waters from afar look calm—
do Joy grows tendor, Sorrow's self is mild,
Forgotten voices sweet as music seem,
And stormy tronbles quiet as a dream,
And flood and 111, old woes seem reconciled.

THE WEB OF LIFE.
Like a blind spinner, in the sun
I tread my days;
I know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways;
I know each day will bring its task,
And, being blind, no more I ask.
I do not know the use or name
Of that I epin;
I only know that someone came
And laid within
Ity hand the thread, and said “since you
Are blind, but one thing you oan do.’
Sometimes the threads, so rough and fast
And tangled fly,
I know wild storms are sweeping past
And fear that I
BbaJl fall; but dare not try to find
A safe place, since I am blind.
I know not why. but I am sure
That tint and place,
In some great fabrio to endure
Past time and race,
My threads will have ; so from the first,
Though blind, I never felt accursed.
I tlunk, perhaps, this trust has sprung
From one short word,
Baid over me when I was young—
So vouug I heard
It. knowing not that God's nams signed
My brow and sealod me His, though bhnd.
But whether this be seal or sign,
Withiu, without,
It matters not; the Lord divine
I never doubt.
I knew He seut me here, and still,
And glad, and blind, I wait His will.
But listen, listen, dav by day,
To hear their tread
Who bear the finished web away
And out the thread.
And bring God's message in the sun,
'•Thou poor, blind spinner, work is done.”
ONLY.
And this is tho etui of *11! It round* the year *
completeness; . „,, .
Only a walk to the sriJs, through field* afoam
with sweetness;
Only the an nee t light, purple and red, on the
river.
And a lingering, low good-night, that means
good-bye forever!
So be it! and God be with you! It had been
perhaps more kind
Bad you forever (pardon the word) been sure
’ of knowing your mind.
We can bear eo much in youth—who caree for
a swift, sharp pain ?
And tho two-edged sword of truth cuts deep,
but leaves no stain!
I shall Just go back to my work—to my little
household cares.
Hiat never make any show. By times, per
haps. in my prayers
I may think of yon! For the rest, on this
wav we've trodden together,
Mv foot shall fall ae lightly as if my heart were
• feather!
And not a woman s heart! strong to have and
to keep.
Fatient when children cry, eoft to lull them
to sleep;
Hiding it* secrets close, glad when another s
hand
Finds for itaelf a gem where hers found only
sand.
Good-bye! The year has been bright! As oft
as the blossoms come;
IHa peach with its waxen pink, the waving
snow of the plum,
I than think how I used to watch, so happy to
see you pass,
1 could almost kiss the print of your foot on
the dewey grass!
lam not ashamed of my love ! Yet I would not
have yours now.
Should you lay it down at my fteU I could
not stoop so low.
A love is but half a love that contents iteelf
with lee*
Than love's utmost faith and truth, and un
wavering tenderness.
Oulv this walk to the stile; this parting word
bvthe river
That flows so quiet, and cold, ebbing and flow
ing foiever.
••Good-bye!" Let me wait to hear the last, last
sound of his feet!
Ah, me! but I think in this life of ours the
bitter outweighs the sweet!

BAYARD AND HAYES.
Havant Satisfied the Inaugural Will Be
Carried Oat.
Washington, April 17.—This renown
ed Democratic leader, it will be remem
bered, gave his views on the situation to
vonr correspondent. They were printed
in the North American, and of course
reprinted over the country. The Presi
dent was so p eased with the patriotic
expressions of the Delaware statesman
that he, through Secretary Evarts, sent
him a pressing invitation to call and see
him He did so, in company with the
Prime Minister. The meeting was a
long and agreeable one, and the Senator
con vie! ions and intentions,
as expressed in the aforementioned
printed interview. He is now satisfied
that Haves will carry out the promises
he Blade in his inaugural address, and
that within a week the whole matter
will be settled. Senator Bayard avows
himself a staunch Democrat, but de
clares that he will not aid or abet any
factious opposition to the general policy
of tbs President. He denies that the
President has entered into any compact,
combination or secret understanding.
He looks upon him as a Republican, but
one who is determined to do whet is
right, even if it does displease the bad
men of his own party.

CHAPTER V—OOXTLNTJ&D.
They came rearer and nearer to the
shore, and coaid already distinguish th'
port-bole* of the lower embankment
which the Italians had thrown np at thi
month of the river, and the white linei
blouses of the soldiers who were work
ing upon them.
“Look ! they are already giving chase
to ns," snddeuly said the Lombard,
laughing to himself, as if it gave him
peculiar pleasure to see the greedy reve
nue officers retire with empty pockets;
“there is even the brigadier.”
Indeed, a long black boat darted so
rapidly toward them that the water rose
snow-white on its narrow bow. Five
oars, handled by five revenue officers,
dipped regularly into the water, and in
the prow stood Tommaso Paglia in per
son, who, notwithstanding tfie violent
motion of the boat, seemed to use his
short spy glass successfully. With a
few more strokes, the boat wae
so near that one could see the
carbines hanging horizontally on the
sides ; by a skillful tarn it came close
ilong side the broad, bright bark—from
Lareno, and while five pairs of brown
fists clang to the e 'ge of the boat like
grapnel, Tommaso stood already, by a
dexterous the middle of the pi
rate boat between the Countess and her
boatmen. IF•
After galjaiily *aiutiog the former,
he turned Wine latter.
“ Ah, friend Geronimc,” said he, with
a significant glance, and an expressive
smile, “It has been a long time since
I had the pleasure of seeing you. You
are seldom on the lake, at least in day
light What are yon doing now ?”
SVhereupon the brigadier’s eye wan
dered as restlessly aronad the boat, as
if he wished to examine the head of
every nail; and the conversation which
he had entered into evidently had no
other object than to allow him the ne
cessary time for this preliminary in
spection,
“lama fisherman,” answered Gero
mino, returning Tommaso’s cunning
laugh with ona quite aa cunning.
“Fisherman—of what f" asked To
maso, while he surveyed the Countess,
without at the same time allowing the
Lombard to escape his eye.
“Of what else than fish?” inquired
Geromino with naive astonishment,
while the brown youth behind him oould
scarcely suppress his laughter,
“So, o—of fiab?” and Tommaso
laughed till his cheeks lay in two deep
wrinkles. “Formerly it was said (I know
not if it be true) that yon were backed
by the MareDghis of the Milan mer
chants, and that you earned more in
one night by smuggling than a poor
fisherman would in a year,”
Now it was the revenue officer’s turn
for suppressed laughter. Geromino cast
a compassionate glance at them (which
Tommaso knew very well how to value,)
and did the brigadier the favor to con
sent to tha ponoedy.
“Ah, that was when we were young,”
he sighed, rolling his eyes Bnctimo
niously, “but of recent years the in
speotors have grown so mean that it is
oot worth the rifk under the new law.
Three yeais’ imprisonment and the
seizure of all one’s property for a couple
of pounds of sugar andsilk, is not just.
Even though we huveto work A whole
week to get hold of a shabby trout which
an Englishman can consume at one meal
at the liotol, fit'll our work is safer and
we are not imprisoned for it!’’
The young man iu the back part of
the boat looked steadily on the floor as
if he were trying not to-betray by a sin
gle feature of his face how far bis old
comrade’s remarks were true. Tommaso
seemed to have finished his preliminary
inspection; he rapped on tfie floor wrih
his heel, ao that the board covering gaye
out a hollow sound, find then abandon
jug his tittle-tattle suddenly said in u
curt official tone :
“This much I know, the fishery be
lotiga to this side of the and not
to the eommnuity °f Laveno —”
“To-day, l au bringing this Signora
over, who is at hosto visits her
family!” answered Geromino, evtoPhlJj 1
with the intention of preventing an in
appropropriate answer from the Count-
ess.
Tommaao’s fane plonded.
“Has the Signora a passport from onr
Government?” he asked sharply, al
though his expression indicated that he
was not insensible to ripe, womanly
charms. ~ .
“Only this passport, sir, answered
the Countess quickly ; and her heart
throbbed violently for fear that now, in
sight of her child's fipme, which lay al
most in a stone’s throw of her, and on
the tower of which she could plainly
distinguish the clock and the hour that
it indicated, she might be obliged to
turn back. Tommaso unfolded the
passport, and lifting hi# bt gallantly,
he read: • .
“Countess Walpurga Bandimiani, one
Baroness of Anwandel from Venice—un
doubtedly the noble consort of his Ex
cel leney Count Bandimiani,” added he
officiously. Then he Btndied the mss
port once more attentively, and at sight
of the letters of the same, thp jny ste .-
ous swimmer aud the singular behavior
of the Count upon hearing of him, rose
in a regular witches’ dance before Tom
maso's usually not very lively imagina
tion. At last he seemed to arrive at a
conclusion, and with a pdble bf>w he
returned the pajmr,
“I regret,” said be with a shrug of his
shoulders which filled the Counfene with
gloornv forebodings, “that the passport
has only been issued by the Austrian
authorities, and on aocount of onr pres
eiit reUttoo# w© kavfl orders to turn back
all persona, aod especially those coming
from Austria, who am fiflt provided with
proper papers, or are in td* suspi
cions. It i* often a cruel necessity, put
unavoidable for us, for one observes ca
rious things OP the shore.”
He did not Bsb, The Countess had
risen and said almost ifppjoringly:
“Be merciful ! I have hoc *&n my
daughter lor many years !’*
Tommaso saw lfce brown eyes of the’
Countess fixed on him with a tearful
glance, and felt the well knows form of
several Napoleons in bis band wiiiMU
had grasped. He seemed touched.
“Oh, the youDg Countess fias grown
verv beautiful,” said he, with aeogfused
smile while the Countess withdrew her
hand “I also have the deepest respeet
for his Excellency the Count, but the
service is etetft, and I really see no help
for it.” . , .
“But I only wish to ejjesk to my rela
tives for a quarter of an ho*. > ’
Toomftao seemed to reflect, and wiop
said, meditatively : ]
“One doe* pot require even that much
tim to deliver despatch. ” !
“But I swear to you that I have noth ,
iug with me but this t+pfir and my]
parse I will gladly leave both re your j
keeping. *A pledge of my honest in
tentions. ” _ . ,
The purse whiefa tins Countess extend
ed to him looked full wuJ heavy. For
the sake of his subordinate*,
took the passport first, and then, witsi a
slight trembling of his hand, tho parse
also. , ,
“I do not believe that it will be con
trary t* Mf official duty to conduct your
Excellency re ff) nr husband, and then
back here again,'' dgpided be at last
“And even more, I believe ffept I will be
able to jnstifv it,” he added jra%i ?P\
lifted head, while, to Gerommo* evident,
dhpleawe, tho purse disappeared in
his wide uniform pants; ‘ as I can an

of the Count. Bat yon/' severe
ly upon Geronlmo, “will remto toyeffr;
boat and await the return of the lady,!
without going on shore, if yon do not
want to be Ao y wjhtfftr . ,
Gerouimo nodded his head ae mooli
as to say that he perfectly understood
the necessity for Tommaso to throw
sand in iPS subordinates’ eyes.
At a sign from the bngsdier, the
revenue officers rePMped their hold from
the gunwale, and soon j*e prows of
both hosts ran side by
simultaneously to a shallow place an the i
sandy shore. , .
While the inspectors made their ar-.
raneements to watch both Lombard
boats, the brigadier politely helped the
Countess to lend, and then walked
! along the narrow path which lea to the
street.
“This wall belongs to your tresbspd s
villa,” explained Tommaso, when he.
had gone some distance along the share
of the lake, pointing to the enclosure on
the right, “We ean shorten the way by
going through the park,"
And to Walpurga’s great astonish
ment, he took a little key from his
pocket and unlocked a small gate in the
wall, obligingly yielding the precedence
to the lady.
“You seem to have frequent commu
nication with the villa," eaid the
Countess, continuing the conversation
with strange embarrassment as she
walked in the shadows of the splendid
avenue.
“ C ertainly, his excellency honors me
with his fullest confidence!” answered
Tommaso, after he had locked the gate
and put away the key. “It really is
very difficult at present for anybody but
mvself to approach his excellency, and
if my supposition is oorrect that he is
perfectly unprepared for the joyful
event which is impending, it will be a
fortunate chance that yon c&tm iWitfa me,
for Signor Giacomo, the old yaw* (whom
your excellency probably knows) is a
martinet. If the Con ntesa wiU only fol
low the broadest of these paths, I will
esteem it an honor and a pleaanra to
hasten forward and announce bar."
Without regarding the hum ilia torn to
herself, which lay in the protection of
her companion, the Countess was deep
ly terrfi-d at the possibility of not be
ing received by her hnsband, and of be
ing sent away without seeing her daugh
ter.
Bat she coaid not have voluntarily
gone back, even if she bad wished, for,
without waiting for her consent, the
officious brigadier had hurried on and
left her alone in the vast park.
Walpurga followed him slowly. Soon
her step became quiak and unsteady, as
if she were running a race with her own
anxiety; then again bestood still, as if
her violently palpitating heart interfered
with the movements of her body.
Her whole past, all that she had to
faar for her daughter, and the little that
she had to hope for herself, crowded
upon her troubled sou*; and the white
paths of the park entwined themselves
caefnsediy before her eyes. She poshed
on again, as if trying to escape from her
own thoughts.
Suddenly she stood still. She found
herself in a dark green oircnlar spot,
high above which cedars of Lebanon
and Himalaya eypresses arched their
branches in a protecting canopy. Be
tween them glistened the long shining
points of the Spanish bayonet, and in
the centre a charming fan palm strug
gled in vain towards the sunshiny day.
There on the left the shrubbery was
pushed back a little, and on a bench
woven of light reeds, bending mnsiDgly
over a piece of brightly colored embroi
dery, the slender form of a maiden ap
peared, whose face was hidden under
the brim of a large white hat.
Now she looked np and stared for a
moment at the tall black-robed lady at
the entrance of the Sommer house; the
glowing crimson of her lovely cheeks
was changed to a death-lik<- pallor,
“Caroline!” said W. rga softly.
Unconscious of herself, horvoiceseemed
to come from the depths' of her heart,
and she opened her arms mechanically.
“Mama !”
It was with a wild, passsionate cry
that Caroline sprang np and threw her
self in her mother's arms.
Almost devoutly Countess Walpurga
embraced the lovely, charming maiden
whom she had last seen ae a child, then
she led her back to her seat and sat
down beside her.
Caroline clang fast to the hand of her
long absent mother and hid her bead on
her shoulder, g;
“I did not want to creep in secretly,”
the Coantess began at last, while she
stroked her child’s face caressingly. “I
wished to go openly and honestly to
your father and assert my interest in
yon and your fntnre. If he had refused
this I should have gone away without
disturbing your peace of mind.”
“Will you go to papa?” asked Caro
line, and her lips had a hard expression
as she thought of him. “Who knows
whether he will not send you away also
throngh Signor Giaoomo as has hap
pened to me three tiffieg,” she added
bitterly,
“To you, my child, and why ? How
can you have offended him ?” said the
Countess indignantly, and yet in selfish
joy.
“That is just what np to the present
time I have not been able to discover,”
Caroline said bravely. “Papa acts as if
I were no longer in existence for him,
and when he goes out of the house is al
ways accompanied by Signor Gincomo
or the hrigilier of the revenue guards,
whom I cauiiOt endure becauae ho stares
■it me so boldly. And I cannot ask papa
before them what there was so wrong in
m? longing continually for you ana
thinking constantly of my r> erry cousin
Henry, until I actually believed that I
saw him in the flesh. Ho was pale and
looked fixedly at me—
InvoluntarilyCarolineseut an anxious,
inquisitive look at the laurel hedge as
if she half thfit the piiraole of
her imagination wovld be performed for
the second time.
“I know not if I have talked in my
dreams and papa has overheard me,”
continued she, “or if Henry has ap
peared to him; at any rate, he seemed to
know jay thopgbls to
very angry thereat. { understand this
as tittle as why yon have been so long
away from us, mama., Put now you will
leave me no more,” the maiden oried,
embracing her with wild affection. “Is
it not true that you will remain with ua,
and Henry—” . '
Caroline stopped. She reminded her
self''that thpjre {flight still be a difficulty
iu the way of inviting hpr pousin. “I
always speak of Henry as if he were in
the same town with ns. Probably he is
far, far away, or—”
4gai ß Caroline did not tiujph. her
dreamy splilpfioy, which fTOi 1 T
addressed to her mother, . -
"Henry Walden lives and is near
here," aud her glance rested more
thoughtfully on he* daughter.
“Near here?”
Caroline sprang up, pale with joyful
agitation. , , ,
Tenderly her mother drew her down
to ner agfiin.
“And there is n.o man of whom yon
have ttmught more often or mom loving
ly than of your cousin ?” *
Caroline drooped her childish head in
embarrwßmept. .
“That would be ypry wicked of pie,
for no one has ever been go good to me
as onr Henry.”
“You dear child!” said the Countess,
forgetting everything while she kissed
her daughter’s pure brow. “ Your
ipaiden lips have revealed the secret by
whieii alpp.e the curse of suspicion and
discord oan be rwiioyed from your par
ents, and the foundation laid for your
own happiness. Now all will be right f
again, and we will county no more years
of biffomess and misery.”
Caroline Wge evidently much surprised
at this tone pf affairs/ gffd gtfldied in

work such change. Hut bpr jotber,

as if seeking in protect her. The latter
pushed her gently away, f.nd whito as

powerful effort, she advanoed to meet

The statement that soma Republicans

because he is very opposed to ]
the Democracy yielding the organisation
of the Honae to the Republicans, indi-,
cates a great deal of nnhlloyed brass on '

Hayes’ Southern policy. Way? Be-’
cause it is that very Democratic policy
he has labored to bring about. General
Gordon is too much a practical states
man to go about either weeping in de

i AN OLD SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT'S.
In Which He Foreshadowed His Preseat
Southern Policy.
[Delivered mt Marion, 0., July 31, 1675. J
Yon have done yonr part forever to
set at rest the great qneationa of tne
past. It is settled that the United
States constitute a nation, and that their
Government possesses ample power to
maintain its authority over every part of
its territory against all opposers. It is
settled that no man uuder the American
flag shall be a slave. It is settled that
all men born or naturalized in the United
States and within its jurisdiction shall
be citizens thereof, and have equal civil
and political rights. It is settled that
the debt contracted to save the nation is
sacred and shall be honestly paid. Yon
may well be congratulated that on all of
these qneßtionsyon fought and voted on
the right side.
Fortunately there is still farther cause
for congratulation. Onr adversaries,
who were on the wrong side of all these
questions, and who opposed ns on all
of them to the very last, are now com
pelled to be silent in their platform on
every one of them. Not a single one of
their 14 resolutions raises any question
on any of these long contested subjects.
It is not strange that they are silent. 1
do not ehoose on this occasion to recall
the predictions of evil which they so
confidently made when discussing the
measure* to which I have referred. It
is enough for my present purpose to
point to the grand results. When the
Republican party, with Abraham Lin
coln as President, received the Govern
ment from the hands of the Democratic
party 15 years ago, the Union of the
fathers was destroyed. A hostile nation
dedicated to perpetual slavery had been
established south of the Potomac, and
olaimed jurisdiction over one-third of
the people and territory of tho Republic.
These States were “dissevered, discor
dant, belligerent ” —onr laud was rent
with oivil feud and ready to be drenched
in fraternal blood.
Now, behold the change ! The Union
is re-established on firmer foundations
than ever before. Brave men in the
South, who were then in battle array
against us, now stand side by side with
Union soldiers, with no shadow of dis*
oord between them. Slavery, which was
then an impassable gulf between the
hostile sections, is now gone, and gooij
men of the Sonth unfte with good men
of the North in thanking God that it is
forever a thing of the past. Then there
was no freedom of speech or of the
press—no friendly mingling together of
the people of the two sections of the
country. Now the people of the South
receive and greet as a fellow-citizen and
a friend the Vice-President—a citizen of
Massachusetts and an anti-slavery man
from his youth—and Maryland, Virginia
aud Sonth Carolina send their distin
guished sons to celebrate with New
England the Centennial anniversaries of
the early battles of the Revolntion. The
men of the North and the men of the
Sonth are now everywhere coming to
gether in a spirit of harmony and friend
ship which this generation has uot wit
nessed before, aDd which has not existed
until now since Jefferson was startled by
that “fire bell in the night”—the Mis
souri question—more than fifty years
ago. In this good era of good feeling
and reconciliation a few men of morbid
temperament, blind to what is passing
before them, still talk of “bayonets and
tyranny and cruelty to the South,” and
seek in vain to revive the prejudices and
passions of the past. But there is bate
ly enough of this angry dissent to re
mind us of the terrible scenes throngh
whioh we have passed, and to fill us
with gratitude that the house whioh was
divided against itself is divided no
longer, and that all of its inhabitants
now have a fair i-tart and an equal
chance in the race of life.

WA3qiN(ON. 4P ril 2§.— Scarcely a
person can be fonnd who is not heartily
glad the Louisiana matter has been dis
posed of, though there are a few of both
parties who say Packard should have
been recognized. The few Democrats
holding this view place it npon the
ground that the Louisiana Congressmen
by consenting to the legitimacy of Mr.
Hayes' title conceded the right of Pack
ard to be Governor, and their people
should have borne the consequences of
the concession. They admit they are
disappointed at the course pursued by
the President towards the Southern
States, and are sorry the Southern
people are not to be made to bear
their jnst punishment for the sale of
the Presidency by four more years of
earpet-bag rule. A member of the Cabint
said in conversation to-day that the
President considers the General Govern
ment entirely relieved of any farther re
sponsibility as to the affairs of Louis
iana. There is now bnt one Legislature,
and that mils t dispose of all questions
pertaining to the State government. The
troops will not interfere hereafter in the
affairs of auy State except it be abso
lutely necessary to preserve the peace,
and they must be called for by the Leg
islatore] if it is in session, or the Gov
ernor mast satisfy the President that
the Legislature cannot be convened.
Only an extraordinary condition of af
fairs, such as never heretofore existed,
will warrant a deviation from this poli
oy. The colored people must be pro
tected by every legitimate means, but
the President relies with utmost confi
dence npon the promises of the South

and protection aa will satisfy the country
and deprive designing politicians of the
opportunity to keep alive bad feeling

I Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist.]
New Yobk, April 19. —Solomon, in
days gone by, was not far wroDg when
he wrote that increasing knowledge
brought oftentimes increasing sorrow.
Now, indeed, that I have attained fnll
knowledge concerning Spring fashions,
sorrow is altogether too mild an expres
sion to convey an accurate idea of my
sentiments npon some cardinal points.
Distress would be an apter term for
what I feel about this
Deluge of Dolmans
Which has fallen upon ns, and which,
like a swarm of locusts, threatens to de
vour all the beauty of the land. Thick
as locusts they lie on merchants’ coun
ters ; they are sold ; having been sold,
they are worn ; ibeing worn, pretty
forms are disfigured, ugly ones made to
look still uglier by the great clumsy
things. For they are clumsy, make
what you will of them. Once in a while
I see a dolman which pleases me—one
of black silk, or ilrap d’ete, provided it
be perfect in fit, worn by a woman of
perfect form, and otherwise perfectly
well dressed. Then a dolman may come
in as a perfect finish to the costume.
Now and then, also, may be seen a dol
man of grey cloth which is not bad.
Mark the “now and then.” But here we
have devouring swarms of grey dolmans,
and, with smalL regard to proprieties of
any kind, they are worn with an atro
c ous promise-, uousness by everybody,
who wants eve ry body has. Are there
not sacqnes ? A few comparatively, and
being few, they will be the more pre
ferred by persons of discrimination.—
They are, however, not so long as in the
Winter, for in the nature of thiDgs, it is
hardly permissable to wear out door
garments of such length during the
Summer, as when the chilling frost
causes one shiveringly to welcome all
possible protection. Mantilla shapes
are seen, and we shall have charmiug
little rouiij capes, and fiohnes for street
additionskhe latter being of silk, drap
d'ete and Wie inevitable gray cloth iu

ends crossing in front.
Bonnets.
“Will this be worn, do you think ?” I
said to an experienced millliner, as we
contemplated a bonnet of bright yellow
straw, trimmed plentifully with bright
yellow satin, and showing an almost
equal intermixture of red; iODg strings
of red and yellow ribbon hanging in
fraternal fellowship side by side. “Will
this be worn," I inquired, overcome by
a sentiment of timid apprehension.
“Why, certainly,” was tho reply; the
calm assurance of tone being such as
to set all doubts at rest. And now that
the Spring bonnets are actually trans
ferred from their wooden stauds,
and set upon people’s beads, it be
comes apparent that ahe was right.
Fortunately for our eyes, such speci
mens of millinery are not frequent,
but what of a stato of society when
such a thiDg is permissable It
shows that our ideas have in a
short space of time become wonderfully
“brightened,” and an extreme example
being given, it will be safe to conclude
that the predominance of gay coloring
is quite remarkable. But one can have
a bonnet of exquisite refinement should
one so desire. Charming specimens of
the milliner’s art are of fine white chip.

come under my notice are iu the miili

C. Johnston, Broadway and Twenty-sec

that is novel and sylish. I mention this

OGLETHORPE .AFFAIRS.
Court Week In Lexington—A Cause Celebre —
The Eberhart Cases—One Delendaut Ac
quitted—Two Colored Rioters.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
Lexington, April 21. —Oglethorpe Su
perior Court began its regular Spring
session last Monday. Owing to the
orowded condition of the dockets, and
the importance of several criminal cases,
an unusually large number of people
were in attendance all the week. Very
little civil business was transacted. On
Tuesday morning the Eberhart murder
ease was called for trial, and the State’s
attorneys announced themselves ready
as to John N. Eberhart, the young man
who is charged with having done the
cutting which re=ulted in the death of
Dr. Stribling. This defendant was not
present, and his attorneys presented an
affidavit from Dr. J. E. Pope, of Athens,
stating that he was unable to leave his
bed and attend Court in consequence of
an attack of enteritis, and moved to con
tinue the case as to this defendant.—
This provoked considerable discussion,
after which the Court decided to pass
the case till the ensuing morning. On
the next morning the case was again
called, and the attorneys for Eberhart
again presented the affidavit, and insist
ed on their motion to continue the case
of this defendant.
The State’s counsel asked for another
day to make a counter showing as to the
condition of the health of the defendant.
The Court declined to allow this, stat
ing he had already allowed twenty-four
hours, and that no counter showing had
been made. After some argument, the
case of John N. Eberhart was continued
for the term, the Court declining to pass
it till an adjourned term, and stating
that he had already made an attempt,
unsuccessfully, to bring it to trial at an
adjourned term. The defendant’s attor
neys then insisted on the trial of John
Eberhart, the father of John N. The
State’s counsel moved to continue, in
sisting that John Eberhart should not
be tried till after the trial of John N.
The question was ably argued on both
sides, and the Court denied that the
case should be tried. The trial began
on Wednesday and was concluded on
Friday evening. Col. J. D. Mathews
and the Solicitor-General represented
the State, and Gen. Toombs, Mr. B. H.
Hill, Mr. J. C. Reed, Mr. J. T. Olive,
and Mr. Pope Barrow the defendant.
Both the State’s attorneys and the three
first named of the defendant’s attorneys
participated in the argument before the
jury, and their speeches were able and
elaborate.
No testimony was introduced for the
defendant, wlpch gave his counsel the
conclusion. General Toombs made the
last speech, and was especially strong
and eloquent in what he said. The ver
dict was “not guilty.” It is generally ac
quiesced in as right by our best citizens.
The indictment was then nol prossed as
to Jacob, another son of John Eberhart.
This disposes of the entire case, except
as to John N., whose trial will be in or
der at tie next term.
On this morning the cases against the
prisoners engaged in the Crawford riot
were taken up. They are charged with
assault with intent to murder. Luke
Johnson was put on trial, and convicted
after a fair and impartial trial. The
testimony of both white and colored
witnesses made out a decidedly strong
and clear case against him, and the
charge of the Court was just and fair
Mr. W. G. Johnson, Mr. T. W. Rucker
and Mr. J. T. Olive, by appointment of
the Court, defended the prisoner. Mr.
Olive made a very conscientious and
impressive argument in behalf of the
defendant. It would require t.oo much
space to give you an outline of the evi
dence, but the conviction that the ver
dict was right prevails universally.
The State was represented by Colonel
J. D. Mathews, Mr. Samuel Lumpkin,
Mr. John C. Reed and the Solicitor-
General. The prisoner has not been sen
tenced. The Court will continue in ses
sion next week until the other cases are
disposed of, and you will be advised of
the result. B. W. C.
Lexington, April 24. —The Superior
Court of Oglethorpe county was ad
journed this morning till the 4th Mon
day in May. On yesterday the cases of
the Crawford prisoners were resumed.
All of them except Luke Johnson, already
convicted, and four who are at large and
not yet arrested, were tried together
under an agreement that each and all of
them might testify in behalf of each
other. The jury was composed of twelve
excellent men, and the trial was a fair
and impartial one. The State’s counsel
conceded that four of the prisoners
should not be convicted, and one other
besides these was acquited.
The evitlenoe showed that the colored
men fired first on Marshal Hopkins aid
his posse a deadly volley in reply to his
demand that they should disperse and
let there be peace and quiet in the town.
Neither the Marshal nor any of his
posse offered any violence or injury to
the colored men before the latter fired,
and the shooting appears to have been
wholly unjustifiable. Mr. 3?, W. Ruck
er argued case for tlae prisoners and
Mr. Samuel Lumpkin for the State.
The following is a list of the prisoners
oouvioted, and the terms for which they
were sentenced;
Luke Johnson, 10 years; Robert Han

Mrs. Victoria M. McCloskey’s father,
who was also named McCloskey, was a
wealthy Georgian, and before the war was
called the “Cotton King” of tfce South.
In her early youth she was married to a
Mr, Jackson,' by whom she had three
children, Cerita Jackson, Victoria Cham
berlain, and Herman F. Jackson. After
the war the only vestige of her father’s
property that had been saved was a trust
fund in the hands of Senator Chris
tianey, of Michigan, real estate in
Genessee county in this State, and some
land in the Sonth. She went to live in
Genessee county with her children, bnt
having been married to Antonius F.
McCloskey, despite the opposition of
her children, she came to this city to
live, in 1871. A few months afterward
she wa? suipmoned to Genessee, and was
much annoyed at finding herself the ;
object of much staring. This was ex
plained when papers were served upon
her in lunacy proceedings instituted by j
her children. She tore up the papers i
and came to New York. Soon thereafter
Jasper V. Lewis was appointed commit
tee of her person and estate, and he
took possession of her property. Since
1871 she received only $25 in money and
the payment of abont $125 indebtedness
incurred by her. She has lived with

THE IMPENDING CONTEST.
What Secretary Evarts Thinks of the Sit
nation.
Washington, D. C., April 23.—Let
ters received by different members of
the Administration, from persons of in
fluence iu tbe Repnblican party, indi
cate some dissatisfaction and nneasiness
in resoect to the policy adopted by the
President, for Louisiana and Sonth
Carolina. Secretary Evarts, in speaking
of the subject to day, said that nnder
all reasonable contingencies there were
no grounds whatever for apprehension
in the minds of the people of any seo
tion. He admitted that the President
might have withdrawn tbe troops with
in twenty-four hours after his accession
to office, but bad he done so this would
have accomplished the same result. The
result of tbe apparent delay has been
tbe bringing of order ont of chaos and
giving those States a lasting govern
ment. In the settlement of the contro
versy nothing wa9 done except within
the strict province of existing constitu
tional and statutory provisions. The
Government found no necessity for rec
ognizing either government under the
Constitution. This right belonged to
the Legislature in canvassing the votes
for Governor. Comp imenting the work
of the President, the Secretary said that
President Hayes had no desire for re
election, and, so far as he knew, none of
the Cabinet had aspirations in that di
rection. Referring to the fears express
ed that the President had left the colored
man to the hands of a class inimioal to
his interests, Mr. Evarts said that Mr.
Hayes believed the Southerners to be an
honorable people, who would take espe
cial pains to carry out their pledges in
iegard to the colored people, aud that
no apprehension existed in the mind of
the President touching the future con
dition of affairs of the South

the most profound attention of the memcal
faculty, many , f whom are prescribing Vegk
tine to their patients.
Canker.
Veoetine has never failed to cure the most
indexible case of Canker.
Mercurial Diseases.
The Veoetine meets with wonderful success
in the cure of this class of diseases
Pain in the Bones.
In this complaint the Veoetine is the great
remedy, as it removes from the system the
producing cause.
Salt Rheum.
Tetter, Salt Rheum. Scald Head, Ao.. will
certainly yield to the great alterative effects
of Veoetine.
Erysipelas.
Veoetine baa never failed to cure the moat
inveterate case of Erysipelas.
Pimples aud Hnmors on the Face.
Reason should teach us that a blotchy, rough
or pimpled skin depends entire y upon an int.r
nal cause, and no outward application can over
cure the defect. Veoetine is the groat blood
purifier.
Tumors, Ulcers, or Old Pores
Are caused by an impure state of the blood.
Cleanse the blood thoroughly with Veoetine
and these complaints will disappear.
Catarrh.
For this complaint Iho only substantial bene
fit can be obtained through the blood. Veoe
tine is the great blood purifier.
Constipation.
Veoetine does not act as a cathartic to de
bilitate the bowels, but cleanses all the organs,
enabling each to perform the functions devolv
ing upon them.
Piles.
Veoetine has restored thousands to health
who have been long and painful Bufferers.
Dyspepsia.
If Veoetine is taken regularly, according to
directions, a certain and speedy cure will follow
its use.
Faintness at the Stomach.
Veoetine is not a stimulating bittors which
creates a fictitious appetite, hut a gentle tome,
which assists nature to restore the stomach to
a healthy action.
Female Weakness.
Veoetine acts directly upon the causes of
these complaints. It invigorates and strergth
ens the whole system, acts upon the secretive
organs and allays inflammation.
General Debility.
In this complaint the good effects of the
Vegetine are realized imm diately after com
mencing to take it; as debility denotes defi
ciency of the blood, and Veoetine acts directly
upon the blood.
Vegetinn is Sold by all Druggists.
