BRITISH TRIUMPH.
Authentic information has at last reach
ed ns dispelling all donbt in regard to the
' British triumph in the Ashnntee war. The
African King has already delivered to
Gen. Wollsey the British Commander, the
•nug little tribute of a thousand ounces
of gold. The payment of tribute is the
Bluest sign of subjection.
Our brief telegraphic accounts show
that the successful and heroic little Brit
ish army was already (at last advices) on
its return march to the seascoast. We
have seen no account of the movements
of that army in detail, but we presume its
base'of operations was Cape Coast Castle?
the Capital of the British settlements on
the coast of New Guinea, and about 300
miles to tbe east of the well known negro
Colony of Liberia. .
Cape Coast Castle has long l>een a Brit
ish stronghold on the Western Coast of
Africa. The jirincipal fort is situated on
a giant rock which projects into the sea.
It is the strongest fort on this coast, and
is snpported by two outposts entitled res
pectively Fort William and Foil Victoria.
The town has a population of 10,000
blacks, and less than 100 whites. We
presume the army of invasion set out from
Cape Coast Castle to march on Coomas
sie, the Ashantee capital, and that it will
return thither to embark for Old England.
Coomassie is, from Cape Coast Castle,
distant about 150 miles.
The climate of Cape Coast Castle is
damp and unhealthy, and is extremely
warm, being almost in the centre of the
Torrid Zone. The place will always bear
a mournful remembrance to the admirers
of literary genius from the tragic death
there, on the 15th of October, 1838 of the
celebrated authoress known best in her
day by her initials “ L. E. L.”—Letitia
Elizabeth Landon. She had achieved
fame in England while yet young and un
married; and unfortunately was wedded
on the 7th of June, 1838, to Mr. George
Maclean, the British Governor of Cape
Coast Castle. She sailed with her hus
band soon afterward to their African home:
and on the 15th of October following was
found dead from an overdose of prussic
acid. Her hnsband's friends maintained
that it was accidental; but it is known
that Gov. Maclean's conduct toward her
sufficed to render her unhappy, and the
world will always believe that her brilliant
career was ended in suicide.

HON. CHARLES SUMNER.
The sudden death of Senator Sumner
in Washington on the llth inst. fell upon
the country’s ear with startling unexpect
edness.
Mr. Sumner was a gentleman of very
high range of intellectual cultivation uni
ted to powers, if not of the highest order,
yet very far above the average of our pub
lic men. His character partook largely
of Ufc; fanatical element, and was deficient
in that serene balance, that many, sided
wisdom, that equipoise of justice requi
site to the composition of the greatest
men. His evil influence in the councils
of the nation led as much as any other in
dividual’s, perhaps, to the bitter and frat
ricidal war in this Republic, the scar of
which must remain for ages to come.
Mr. Sumner has been quite a profuse
Author; but his productions are but little
known in the South. He was an easy,
graceful and accurate speaker: accurate
even to the slightest shade of pronuncia
tion of the “English undefiled.” We were
much impressed with this feature in his
oratory when we listened to him in the
U. S. Senate in 1870.
Mr. Sumner was bom in Boston, Mass..
Jan. 6, 1811: was educated at Harvard
College, and at the Cambridge Law School.
He was elected to the U. S. Senate in
1851, in which body he played a con
spicuous part up to the moment of his
death.
HOW TO WRITE LEGIBLY.
One of the most observable facts to a
lover of the beautiful iu art. is the Yen-
few people who attain any excellence in
chirography. The writing of -a bad
hand” is quite as universal a failing as
tobacco chewing and its disgusting sali
vary attachment is among men. This
want of excellence and legibility in writ
ing arises from three causes, careless in
struction, indifferent pupils, and insuffi
cient helps hi a simplified elementary set
of copy books comprehensible to begin
ners.
The Patent Revised Copy Books of
Williams & Southerland supply more
ward by the Whig party as their candi
date for the Presidency in 185G, but was
defeated by Mr. James Buchanan. He
lied at his home in Buffalo on Ihe 8th
inst.. and was interred at that city on
Thursday last.
We perceive that ex-President Johnson
of Tennessee was specially invited to the
funeral of Mr. Fillmore—being the only
surviving ex-President of the United
States, and what is remarkable, having
been (like Mr. Fillmore) elevated from the
Vice-Presidency by the death of his Chief.
Mr. Fillmore was a very fine specimen
of .“self made men,” and was one of the
purest and noblest of our American states
men. He preserved throughout his life
a modesty and unaffected simplicity of
manners charming in Jhe extreme, and
contrasting wonderfully with the -assum-
acy” and arrogance of petty men of our
day in high places. We were greatly im
pressed by this feature in Mr. Fillmore's
character from a conversation of some
hours with him eighteen years ago. We
met him again in Louisville, Ky.,in 1S09.
He was distinguished greatly for his pu
rity of character in public and private life:
and dying leaves (we fear) too few of Iris
type behind him.
HORRORS OF SLAVERY.
Since the above phrase became so stere
otyped in the American mind a few years
ago from the imeeasing howl of Northern
Abolitionists, succeeded by the abolition
of slavery in the South at the end of our
Great War. the impression seems to have
crept into the American mind that slavery
has ceased everywhere but in Cuba, and
that it is on its last legs there.
Far from it. The Ashantee war just
terminated so triumphantly for Great Bri
tain, reminds us that slavery is a promi
nent “peculiar institution” in that coun
try : Slavery and something worse. The
Religion of the Ashantees is idolatry of
the grossest species; and human sacrifices i loot \) ( )V a thousand petty trials and an
rities her heart, elevates her feelings and
sentiments, hallows her affections, sheds
light on her understanding, and imparts
dignity and pathos to her whole charac
ter. Nor does its influence end here—
*-11 beams in tbe glance of til* eye,
It sits on tbe lip in a smile.
It checks tbe ungracious reply.
It citptores but cannot beguile."
It should be remembered that life is
not all sunshine. Bright as the world
may be before us. we cannot live long
without encountering many sorrows, and
disappointments, and troubles.—They
are sent by a kind of providence to sever
the cords which bind us too closely to
earth: to turn our thoughts inward upon
ourselves and upward to heaven. While
our bark glides calmly oua summer's sea,
with the blue sky above, the bright waters
around us, the blandishments of youth,
beauty, accomplishments, may satisfy the
heart; but let us be overtaken by the
storm and tempest, and where is the sup
port they yield! Let darkness enter your
dwelling, and the pleasure you derived
from them is forgotten, and you look in
vain to tiie same source for relief. Let
death invade yonr’social circle, and lay
his ruthless hand upon your first born,
slu'ouding all around you in darkness and
gloom, and where do you look for a ray
of hopeIt is under_circumstances like
these, that religion transforms a wife in
to a ministering angel. She will bind up
your bleeding heart, lead yon to the foun
tain of living waters, and change gloom
and despondency into light and cheer
fulness. As the sun in setting, lights up
every hill-top, and tree, and cottage, so
religion gilds with its heavenly beams
every feeling, enjoyment and occupa
tion.
Woman, fromher very nature, is destined
to drink deeper of the cup of sorrow and
suffering than the other sex. Her trials
are chiefly of the hear t, and consequent
ly the har dest to be borne. She is sel
dom. perhaps, called rtpon to contend
with those formidable evils and tempta
tions which rouse all the energies of our
nature to repel their attack, but is beset
(from the time she merges into woman-
are practiced on a large scale: and by
way of corr pe grace to the concern,
polygamy on a scale with which that of
American Mormouism, or all the pr ivate
practicalities of New York city life, sink
into insignificance. Among the terms
imposed on the Ashantee King by his
British conqueror a few weeks since was
that of the prohibition of human sacri
fices: Slavery, the slave trade with inte
rior Africa, idolatry and polygamy being
left as they were.
We present to onr readers an extract
from a standard geographical work before
us:
“There are some features in Ashantee
which surpass in barbarism those of al
most everv other country. The ftrrv of
noyanees, which, while they seem too in-
significent to require much effort to re
sist, are at the same time the most diffi
cult to overcome. Religion alone can
disarm these trials, and enable her to
preserve that equanimity and peace of
mind so essential to happiness. It is her
talisman. To it she flies in the hour of
disappointment and sorrow, and from it
never fails to derive consolation and sup
port. Yet how few, in their selection of
a partner for life, regard this most im-
portant qualification. How few think to
to penetrate into the secret chambers of
the soul, to sj-e what is there hidden
within so fair an exterior—if there the
vestal lamp sheds its clear and constant
rav. External attractions mav lead us

Aslmntee warfare is horribly distinguish- , captive for a time; feeling may send

There are two annual customs, as they j of the recipient; talent may call forth un

slaves and criminals are selectt d 1n pre
ference, but as each Chief seeks to multi
ply his number, unprotected persons
cannot walk the streets without hazard
of being seized and immolated. At the
death of any of the royal family, victims
must bleed in thousands; and the same,
also, when the King seeks from the pow
ers above favorable omens respecting any
great projected undertaking. The abuse
of polygamy is carried to the highest
flitch. The legal allowance of wives for
the King is upwards of three thousand,
selected from the fairest damsels in his
dominions. These unfortunate creatures
are no better than slaves, and on any
capricious disgust are treated with the
greatest cruelty, and often put to death."
IVe trust none of our readers will be
lured to emigrate to Ashantee by this
favorable picture of matrimonial felicities.
Let them remember the danger (even yet,
by sly infraction of the recent compulsory
treaty) of immolation on some Ashantee
altar of sacrifice.
A STORY OF THE CURFEW.
The first line of Gray’s Elegy—
‘ The curfew tolls the ktjeil of parting day,’'
has made the word curfew familiar to
every English speaking boy and girl.
The word is formed of two French words
couvre feu oy couvrir feu, (covered fire)
nearly than any others the needs of chil- and came into use when William the Noi
dren beginning the art of writing.
Children's minds are generally so awk
ward in development that they require all
tbe helps that can possibly be reached to
gain the ultimate result of comprehend
ing folly any given study.
Unfortunately book writers, looking
from their stand point of full maturity,
cannot comprehend a child’s mental wants.
The tank of writing elementary books is
generally upon men with their abstrac
tion, their learning their devotion to their
profession. With the addition of the
weight of the “national affairs” bearing
heavily upon them, they imagine that a
hint, dim and misty on any subject, is
enough to offer a child upon which to rear
a comprehensive knowledge of the matter.
What is easy to them they deem plain to
a child; and hence the abstruseness of all
school books to a child’s inchoate mind.
Alas, no wondsr learning is so dull a pro
eess; so shnr-a result; a greater under
taking to a little simple cnild than the
capture of Troy was to the v.ise and war
like Greeks!
Women ought to be the compilers of all
primary books for children. They, from
knowing the nature and training of chil
dren, can more fully comprehend their
ideas and wants: but, unfortunately, from
the twilight of the world's history, women
have occupied at best a secondary position;
and as a class, until very recently, with
little or no education to qualify them to
perform the office of book-makers—that
which, above all other things outside of
domestic affairs, they are best adapted to
do for children.
Writing beautifully has been redue-
ad to a science; and although all
may not attain excellence and elegance of
•Mention, every one who is well taught
acquire legibility in chirography.
The very best system of penmanship I
have examined, is that of Williams &
Packard; and the Williams and Southland
Patent Copy Books are the accompani-
ment to that system. Iu this system
every stroke of the pen involves a princi
ple, and is therefore more comprehensible
and attractive to a child than meaning
less scribbling of “Pothooks and marks'.”

During the year 1872 the sum of $4,-
403,000 was given or pledged to Ameri
on colleges by various individuals. The
largest beneficiaries were Yale College,
to tiie extent of $196,284; Harvard, $158,

*■* i^^ JWNBWwn the Western and
man. the first monarch of England, of
the present line, made a law that all fires
should be extinguished at the sound of
of the evening bell.
To many hearts in the old country
that cherish its traditions, the curfew re
calls a story of love's devotion.
In the time of Cromwell a young sol
dier, for some offence, was condemned to
die, and the time of his death was fixed at
the ringing of tlie curfew. Naturally
such a doom, would be fearful and bitter
to one in the years of hope and prime,
but to this unhappy youth death was
doubly terrible, since he was soon to have
been married *to a beautiful young lady
whom he liad long loved.
The lady, who had loved him ardently
in return, had used her utmost efforts to
avert his fate, pleading with the judges,
and even with Cromwell himself, but all
in vain. In her despair she tried to bribe
the old sexton not to ring the liell, but
she found that impossible. The hour
drew near for the execution. The prepar
ations were completed. The officers of
the law brought forth the prisoner, and
waited, while tlie sun was setting, for the
signal from the distant bell tower.
To the wonder of everybody it did not
ring! Only one human being at that
moment knew the reason. The poor gill,
half wild with the thought of her lover’s
peril, liad rushed unseen up the winding
stairs and climbed the ladders into the
belfry loft and seized the tongue of the
bell.
The old sexton was in his place, prompt
to the fatal moment. He threw liis
weight upon the rope, and the bell, obe
dient to his practiced hand, reeled and
swung to and fro in the tower. But the
brave girl kept her hold, and no sound
issued from its metallic lips.
Again and again tlie sexton drew the
rope, but with desperate strength the
young heroine (held on. Every moment
made her position more fearful; every
sway of the bell's huge weight threatened
to fling her through the high tower win
dow; but she would not let go.
At last the sexton went away. Old
and deaf, he had not noticed that the cur
few gav§ no appeal. The brave girl de
scended from the belfry, wounded and
trembling. She hurried from church to
the place of execution. Cromwell himself
was there, and was just sending to de
mand why the bell was silent. She saw
him,
and her brow
Lately white with sickening borrow, glows with hope
•ad courage DOW;
At hb feet she told' her story, showed her hands all
ere long crumble and fall.
Most persons, on entering a married
state (particularly in youth.) fancy it a
condition of unmingled joy and pleasure
—that they are within a charmed circle,
the bounds of which no sorrow or trou
ble can pass. They forget the new and
immense responsibilities that are incurr
ed. and the trials that, must necessarily
accompany them. Not that these should
deter auy one from taking this highly im
portant step, for it is the high road to im
provement ami happiness. What are the
boasted pleasures of intellect compared
to those of affection ? The latter are as
truly heavenbom and immortal as the
former; they are the earliest developed in
our nature, and the last touched by the
finger of decay. Woman! thy empire is
the heart, and lie who would know the
capacity of the human soul for happiness,
must yield himself to thy sway.

Iron in the Blood
A xobi-e sentiment was that expressed
by tbe venerable Peter Cooper, ofNew-
York. at the celebration of his eighty-
third birthday: “While I have always
recognised that the object of business is
to make money in an honorable .manner,
I have endeavored to remember that the
object of life is to do good.”
