A correspondent of the Kansas City Times revises a striking poem, of which this is the history : A Southern pris oner of war at Camp Chase, Ohio, af ter pining in sickness in the hospital of that station for some time, and con fiding to his friend and fellow-captive, Col. W. A. Hawkins, of Georgia, that he was heavy of heart because his af fianced bride in Nashville did not write to him, died just before the arrival of a letter in which the lady curtly broke the engagement. Col. Hawkins had been requested by hi-* dying comrade to open any epistle which should come for him thereafter, and, upon reading the letter in question, penned the fol lowing versified answer. The lines were imperfectly given by the South ern press just after the war, and de serve revival if only for the sake of the corrections requisite to do justice to their sentiment and win for them a Yvider appreciation : MY FRIEND. Your letter. lady.came too late, For Heaven had claimed its own : Ah, sudden change—from prisou-barg Unto the great white throne! And yet I think he would have stayed, To live for his disdain, Could he have read the careless words Which you have sent in vain. So full of patience did he wait, Through many a weary hour, That o'er his simple soldier faith Not eveu death had power ; And you—did others whisper low Their homage in your ear, As though amongst their shallow throng His spirit had a peer ? I would that you were by me now, To draw the sheet aside And see how pure the look ho wore The moment when he died. The sorrow that you gave to him Had left its weary trace, As 'twere the shadow of the Cross Upon his pallid face. “Her love,’’ he said, ‘’could change for me The YY'iuterV. cold to Spring ;’’ Ah. trust of fickle maiden's love, Thou art a bitter thing! For when these valleys, bright in May, Once more with blossoms wave. The northern violets shall blow Above his humble grave. Your dole of scanty words had been But one more pang to benr, For him who kissed unto the last Your tress of golden hair; I did not put it where he said, For when the angels come, I would not have them find the sign Of falsehood in the tomb. I've read your letter, and I know The wiles that you had wrought To win that noble heart of his, And gained it—cruel thought! YVhat lavish wealtli men sometimes give For what is worthless all; What manly bosoms beat for truth In folly’s falsest thrall! You shall not pity him, for now His sorrow lias an eud; Yet w 'uld that you could stand with ine Beside iny fallen friend ; And I forgive you for his sake, As he—it it be given— May e'en be pleading grace for you Before the court of Heaven. To night the cold winds whistle by, As I my vigil keep YY'itbin the prison dead house, where Few mourners come to weep. A rude plank coffin holds his form; Yet death exalts his face, And I would rather see him tiius Than clasped in your embrace. To-night your home may shine with lights, And ring with merry song, And you be smiling, as your soul Had done no deadly wrong; Your bund so fair that none would think It penued these words of pain; Your skin so white—would God, your heart YVere half as free from stain. * I’d rather be my comrade dead Thau you in life supreme ; For your’, the sinner’s waking dread, And his the martyr’, dream. YY’liom serve we in this life, we serve In that which is to come; lie choose his way; you yours; let God Pronounce the fittiug doom. A Palmetto Bat in Paris. Stories from Mr. A. T. Stewart's Ac complished Clerks—Parisian Beauty Beautified by the Beauties of Florida— Parisian Modistes Delighted—All the Rage in Paris. Yesterday there was an opening in the wholesale millinery department of Mr. A. T. Stewart’s great up-town store. The Sun reporter found this department on the fourth floor, under the direction of Mr. George S. Par tridge, Jr., who for sixteen years or more has been an importer of the cre ations of Parisian fashion artistes to New York. Mr. Partridge is a very plain, unpretending gentleman, and to look at him one Yvould suppose he had a weakness for flowers and ribbons; but when the reporter drew him into conversation the latent ta9te of the importer was seen in the lighting up of his countenance, as he related story after story of the artistes and their creatious, the bonnets, flowers and ribbons with Yvhich he was surround ed. “I found Virot, the maker of this hat,” said Mr. Partridge, “sixteen years ago, in a small upper room in Paris, at work alone. AMONG HER RIBBONS AND FLOWERS. I saw at a glance that she was an artiste, and I gave her her first Ameri can order. She pleased me and I gave her auother, and from that day to this I have given her orders every season. Noyv her name is almost as well knoYvn in New York as in Paris.” The im porter turned the bat around for the reporter’s admiration. It was a beau ty, a love of a hat, Yvith a deep capa cious crown of Napoleon fine silk, piped with bands of pale verdigris faille, an upturne'd brim lined with the same color and piped to corres pond, a fillet of twisted rose-colored ribbon running round uuder the brim, and forming a face trimming and ban deau surrounding the bead, and tying Yvith a knotted loop and flowing ends in the back. Two shaded virdigris plumes fell over on the left side and mingled with a magnificent bouquet of roses, forget-me-nots, and convolvu li, looking as natural as if fresh cut and SPARKLING WITH MORNING DEW. “ Did this hat come from Paris ?” queried the reporter, looking at a fan ciful thing of the course palmetto ttraid trimmed with two scarfs, one blue and the other rose color, forming a fillet under the brim, and ornament ed Yvith a wreath of grasses and for get-me-nots on the top, and two half unfolded blueish roses under one side of the brim in the back. “ No,” said Mr. Partridge, smiling, “ that hat was made in Florida, but it was trimmed in Paris by Mile. Manier, another of my fashion artiste friends. I was in Paris,” he continued, seeing he had interested the reporter, “ du ring the terrible days of the Commune. My American citizenship was my pass port everywhere, and it enabled me to protect and aid others, and among them Mile. Manier, whom I found one ONE OF THE OLD NOBLESSE. Her name is Almee Peyrot. She is the intimate friend of Manier. They are both rich, and give their recep tions just as the queens of fashion do here in New York. They make sug gestions of designs to each other, and cultivate the most intimate friendship for practical artistic purposes. Ma nier and Virot,” he continued, turning again to the palmetto hat, “each had sent a hat trimmed similarly to this, but in mourning, of course, to the ex- Empress Eugeuie.” “Mr. Partridge, what are these hats Yvorth ?” said the reporter. “ They are priced twenty-five dol lars, fifty dollars, seventy-five and a hundred,” said Mr. Partridge. “These are the prices of those we import, but we can duplicate them at reasonable figures. Now, those palmetto hats we can sell very cheap. They are made in Florida by the daughters of the old inhabitants, the new settlers, and the colored girls. They are brought on every steamer by thousands; but Yvho would have thought they would ever become the rage in Parisf”—Sew York. Sun. Chief Justice Chase in KichmocJ.

IIoyv the Boy Arises.—Calling a boy up in the morning can hardly be classed under the head of “pastimes,” especially if the boy was fond of exercise the day before. And it is a little singular that the next hardest thing to getting a boy out of bed is getting hitn into it. There is rarely a mother who is a success at rousing a boy. All mothers kuow this; so do their boys. And yet the mother seems to go at it iu the light way. She opens the stair door and insinuatingly observes: “Johnny.” There is no reponse. “Johnny.” Still no re spouse. Then there is a short, sharp Johu,” followed a moment later by a prolonged and emphatic ‘John Henry.’ A grfint from the upper region sig nifies that an impression has been made, and the mother is encouraged to add, “You’d better be getting down here to your breakfast, young man, before I come up there, an’ give you something you’ll feel.” This so star tles the young man that he immediate ly goes to sleep again. And the operation has to be repeated several times. A father knows nothing about this trouble. He merely opens his mouth as a soda bottle ejects its cork, and the “John Henry” that cleaves the air of that stairway goes into that boy like electricity, and pierces the deepest recesses of his very nature. And he pops oilt of bed and into his clothes, down the stairs, with a promptness that is commenJa- ble. It is rarely a boy allows himself to disregard the parental summons. About «nce a year is believed to be as often as is consistent with the rules of health. He saves his father a good many steps by his thoughtfulness.— Danbury Sews. Bow Advertising' Pays. As the spring trade is about open ing it will interest our merchants, wholesale and retail, to learn that Mr. R* W. Wright, editor of the Richmond day in the hands of some gens d'armes, Lurnal, now ©n a trip through the J - ° North, tells how Edward Malley built up one of the largest dry goods trades in New England. He says: “About eighteen years ago Mr. Malley appear ed in New Haven, and opened a small ‘seven by nine’ dry goods store on the principal street of that city. At that time the heaviest merchants of the street scarcely advertised in the local papers to the extent of more than two squares each, and in standing advertise ments for the season. Mr. Malley, with a degree of sagacity that no one else had ever dared evince, struck out boldly in the advertising line, engag ing a column in each of the three local dailies with the privilege of changing the same every week, and making his advertisements the most readable part of the newspapers. For this he paid each of the neYvspapers at the rate of one to two thousand dollars a year. The old fogy merchants stood aghast at his hardihood, and every body predicted that he would ‘go up’ in less than that time—to the Y’ery height of the mercantile ladder. His store, in a few months, expanded from a ‘seven by nine’ room into the occu pancy of the whole building in which it was situated, and in less than a year he was doing the largest business of any merchant in the city. He kept up his ‘reckless advertising,’ as it was called, and to-day he has a store, built by himself iiGO feet deep, 70 feet wide, and on two floors—the largest and most successful mercantile house in New England, outside ot Boston. He noYV pays the local journals not less than So,000 a year for advertising, and yet he frankly confesses that he has made all his money out of newspa pers.” Prof Donaldson, the Reading, Pa., aeronaut, has been interviewed. The great balloon in which he is to The Kh.ken.st Cats.—Here’s the vrhole story done up in verse: There were two oats in Kilkenny, Each though, there was one cat too many, So they quarreled and fit, And they scratched and they bit, Until, very soon there wasn't any. A cheerful prophet iu Pliilad' lphia tel's us that from 1888 to 1885 tuis world will be subject to an unusual amount of disu-ter and affliction, owing to the fact that the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will come uncommonly near to the earth. The result will be pestilence, famine, extremes of heat and cold, and sundry other oireful evils. Quoth the prophet: ‘•Tin- dissipated, the glutton, the uebauchee may cal- culate on being among the first victims. Young men who devitalize themselves by tobacco Using, young ladies wbo destroy one half of their breathing capac ity by fashionable dress and tight lacing will never survive the perihelion of all the laige planets of the qolar system; and perhaps it will be best they should not” We hope the class mentioned will take warning and reform their way of life: but, at the same time, we should thiuk these big plauets might keep their dis tance, and not come around to torment this little world and its poor sinners. — —• • ^ We reap what we sow; but Nature has love over and above that justice, and gives ns shadow, and b>oasom and fruit that spring trom no planting of ours. as she was ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE BARRIERS, I claimed her as my friend and she was permitted to go unmolested. Ever since then her gratitude for that trifling service (really a duty on my part) has been unbounded. She is always trying to do something to please me. Last year I took her a number of these Florida made palmetto bats, and as soon as she saw them she gave a scream of delight. You know how impulsive French people are. She seized one of them and flew into her work-room among the girls, seized the scissors, silk and ribbons, pinned these trimmings on this very hat just as you see them, dashed in among the flowers and sticking these two roses under the brim, and twining the for get-me-nots and grasses around the crown amid these loops of blue and pink faille, SUE BOUNDED BACK INTO THE PARLOR, Yvhere she left me, in less time than I have been telling you this story.— “ There, she cried as she rushed back, “ is a hat for you, and for my Sophie, my dear Sophie Croisette.” Who is Sophie Croisette ?” I said. “ Mon Dieu !” she exclaimed, “ not to known Sophie Croisette. Why, she is the great comedienne of the Theatre Fran- cais, and she is now playing Susanne, and this is the very hat for her Susan ne. “ Did you see Croisette before you left Paris 1 /” asked the reporter. “Ofcourse I did,” replied Mr. Part ridge, and saw her play Susanne in a palmetto hat just like this.” “ I think this hat ought to be dub bed the Croisette,” said the reporter. “A very good uame for it,” said Mr. Partridge. “At any rate they are ALL THE RAGE at present in Paris. Manier ordered me to send her on seveial cases ol them, and by this time they are in Paris, and I have this, the first one she ever trimmed, here in New York. Of course I had the pins she used in making her creation taken out, and a needle and thread used to make the work more substantial.” “ Where do the milliners get these beautiful flovvers/” said the reporter. “ It the milliners are artistes I am sure the flower makers are. Some of these imitations are not only startlingly true to nature, but the artiste evidently caught nature in her happiest mood and most graceful aspect. “Yes, they are artistes, too, and many of the finest of them are very poor,’’ replied Mr. Partridge. “ They, too often work in small rooms on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors; bat there is one, and she is a great artiste, tdo, they call her the Baroness flower- maker, for she if cross the ocean next summer is to con tain 2G3.000 feet of gas and weigh about 2,000 pounds.

If the trip is successful he will at once estab lish a balloon mail and passenger line around the world, pressing the ariel currents into service as motive pew- er. Albany, April 15.—The chimney of a burned house fell to-day, burying five little girls. One is dead and three others will die. The fifth is seriously hurt. A new bridge is to be erected over the Seine, at Paris, at a cost of over $600,000, Correspondence New York Herald.) Richmond, Va., April 5,1S73/ Th Chief Justice called upon Gover nor Walker this morning, not became of the love he had for the Governt r, but as an act of official courtesy which he thought due to the executive oft le Old Dominion. During the call qui;e a lengthy conversation took place ^n national affairs, in which the leadir g topics ot interest were discussed, (jo ernor Walker thought the tarilf ai d free trade would be the main questioi s in the West, and that the supporters of the latter were daily becoming stronger in that section. Tiie Chi *f Justice dissented, and believed ti e salary question would be the st rouge: t issue that could be made by the Dem ocrats in the next campaign. He thought if that party had the firmness to discard and throw overboard a l aspirants for office who favored the increase of congressional salary and to nominate new men pledged to abol ish that increase they would carry the next congressional elections. The Chief Justice will remain here for several days yet. The War in Louisiana. The ArgumeMt of Powdrr and ISalL Neyv Orleans, April 15.—The steamer Southwestern brings the fol lowing from Grant Parish. The negroes, Yvho had barricaded themselves iu Co.- fax Court House, numbered four hui - deed thoroughly armed. One hundred and fifty men gathered trom the su • rounding parishes and made an attack Sunday noon. The Court House yvih stormed at 3 o’clock. After furthe; lighting, the negroes displayed a flag ot truce. Several detachments moved ou the Court House, when the negroes opened lire. Capt. Hardnot was shot iu the boYvels, it is feared fatally. As the only means of dislodging the ne groes, the Court House was fired and the negroes shot as they came from the burning building. It is reported that from eighty to one hundred ne groes were killed, and there were none to be found for miles around. The ringleaders and their white allies escaped. The captain of the South western confirms the above. He saw- eighteen or twenty dead negroes; and brought two wounded Yvliitesto Alex andria. All was quiet when the Southwestern was at Colfax ou Sun day evening. Bo Change to be AZaie in the Fi nancial Policy of the Government. The New York Bulletin says Gen. Grant, in conversation with a leading financier of that city a few days ago, defended the assumption expressed in his message to Congress and in his congratulatory letter to Secretary Boutwell, that the American people wished no change to be made ^ the financial policy of the Administration. He said that this question was made the leading issue of the late Presiden tial canvass; that Secretary B >utwell addressed the merchants and business men in New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and all the commercial cen- tures, and that the election results sufficiently expressed the desire of the people for the continuance of the pre sent system. Hence, when Secretary Boutwell retired the President’s chief desire was to find some person capa ble of carrying out his policy in all its details. No person seemed to possess the requisite qualities for this purpose more than Judge Richardson, and this fact led to his appointment as Mr. Boutwell’8 successor. The President seemed very strong in his convictions as to the approval of the financial policy of his administration, as ex pressed by the popular vote, and of his duty to adhere to it under all cir cumstances. He steadily refused to see any force in the objections that he might be possibly mistaken in his vieYVS on this point, or to comprehend that there was any necessary connec tion between the results of the Presi dential contest and Mr. BoutwelPs peculiar plans of financiering. He seems particularly impressed with the idea that he owes his re-election to the ex-Secretary’s superior management of the national finances, and of the obligation imposed upon him to carry it out in all its details during the next four years of his administration. A Down East editor must feel un comfortable. He says: “Acountry sub scriber writes that he is just recover ing from the small pox, and will be on in a few days to renew his subscrip tion. We hope he won’t mind a little thing like that. We will send the paper and wait for the money. We will wait cheerfully. We ain’t of that avaricious kind of people who will grab for money as if for very lite. We despise such things. There’s no earth ly reason for his coming on; we will wait.” Croyvned Heads at Vienna—There will be a great gathering of royalty at the Vienna Exhibition* All the crowned head in Europe have been for mally invited and have signified their intention to be present. They will not, hoYvever, all go to Vienna at the same time, but will visit it individu ally at separate periods. Queen Vic toria has promised to attend, and will be accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, the Crown Prince and Princes of Germany. It is not im probable that the Kaiser himself may also join the august party in Vienna. The ex-Empress Eugenia and Prince Imperial have been invited, but the latter only will accept. Out of 249 patients in the inebriate asylum in Binghamton, N* Y-, 122 are children of drunkards, from which the deduction is inferable that the habit is in tome degree hereditary.
