Has children by the dozen;
Tom. Ned, and Jack, and Kate and Ann—
How many call me “cousin!"
Good boys and girls, the best was Bess:
I bore bet on my shoulder;
A little bud of lovlinees.
That never should grow older!
Her eyes bad such a pleading way.
They seemed to say, “Don’t strike me;
Then, growing bold, another day.
"I mean to moke you like me."
I liked my consio, early, late,—
Who liked not little misses I
She used to meet me at the gate—
Just oM enough for kisses.
This was, I think, three years ago—
Before I went to college;
I learned one thing there—how to row,
A healthy sort of knowledge.
When I was plucked (we won the race,)
And all was at an end there,
I tbonghtof Uncle Philip's place.
And every country friend there.
My coosin met me at the gate;
She looked fire, tea years older—
A tall young woman, still, sedate,
With manners coyer, colder.
•Hlie gave her hand with stately pride.
“Why, what a greeting this is !
You used to kiss me.'’ bbe replied,
* I am too old for kisses.”
I loved—I love my oousia Bess
She's always in my mind now;
A fall blown bud of loveliness—
The rose cf womankind now
She must hare suitors ; old an 1 young
Must bow their heads before her;
Vows most be made and songs be sung
By many a mad adorer I
But I must win her; she must give
To me her yeith and beauty;
And I — lolove her while I live
Will be my happy duty;
For she will love me. soon or late,
And be my bliss of blisses—
Will come to meet me at toe gate.
Nor be too old fot kisses!

Ten thousand men fall armei were still,
SMI as the leaves in June.
Ten thousand Worn and weary men
With their sad thought commune.
No sound was heard save here and there
A courier riding by.
Who, who coaid fancy, who believe
A warlike bust stood uigh ?
Their flags are fnrled, to wave no more
Their swo, ds are sheathed fore’er,
Their battie cry shall ne’er again
Outvie the trumpet's blare.
Hard, hard, they murmured, tis to yield
The toils ot auxioas years.
To see time fled, our eonnlry lost
And nought leit ns but tears'.
Tears, tears that haunt the faithful soul,
Ah I tears like wounds that smart,
And tears and feats and fears and tears
That rack Ihe loving heart.
Before them stood tbe Northern host
In all their proad array.
Bat not os foes that yearn for blood,
They stood, this April day.
Forth from tbe silent Sonthern ranks
There stepped a hero grand.
And marching tow'rd the Northern lines,
lu sadness took his stand.
His eyes were bent npoo Ihe earth.
His heart with grief was rent.
Yet proud he stood, with spirit bold
For all that fortune sect.
Well had he fought, and well had led,
Nor knew his bosom fear;
He’d fought for country, fought lor all,
And cow he scorned a tear.
A moment pausing, he advanced.
And offered up his blade;
Hi* foeman took, and straight returned,
“Take back your sword,” he said.
Ah. yes. that was a nobie act,
This honor to a foe,
How few tha knightly deeds like this,
Our sordid earth can shew!
Tbe sad brave chief resumed his blade
And passed it to its shea'll,
Then clasped unto bis breast the flag
Their “eanse” was ’-lost” beneath.
Ha speak*: “My soldiers, in this flag
I clasp each ooe of you.
And now I lead your ranks ao more,
Farewell, good men and true.”
He turned to go,—men wept aloud
That ne’er had wept before.
Was braver man e'er better loved
By men he loved still more I
Moorish Brides.—The condition of
women in Morocco is most pitiable. They
are all slaves, and the lot of those who
are so avowedly and technically is much
less miserably dull, monotonous, and de
graded than that of the ladies who are
supposed to repose on satin divans, sip
sherbet, oat dainty devices in sugar, and
string pearls in the harem, in which their
occupations are in reality much more
prosaic, and their surroundings much less
splendid. The wedding festivities are
exceedingly barbarous, the unhappy bride
being carried to her husband’s house in a
box, on a mule's back, with a little boy
also shut up with her in durance, as a
happy prognostic of the future. A box of
sweetmeats is also placed in the box, to
while away tho time and console the
small boy. A horrible noise, howling,
drumming, firing, is kept up the whole
way; and the female relations of the bride
groom, who does not appear at all, re«
ceive the bride on the threshold with ap
palling shrieks of “Ah—yee! Ah—yee!”
The box is carried in, the door is shut,
the friends disperse, but the musicians
remain, and the horrible diu goes on for
hours. No raligious ceremony takes
place, and the fattening of the bride is
the only preparation on her part for holy
matrimony. “For this purpose," says
the author of A Winter in Morocco,
“from the .time of her betrothal she is
confined to one room, not permitted to
take any exercise, and compelled to swal
low large quantities of kesksoo every
day. This system, steadfastly pursued
for a few weeks, brings her into a condi
tion that is considered in Morocco be
coming obesity. I have hoard of an in
tended bride so fat that she was unable
to pick up her pocket-hankerchief when
she dropped it, and who could with diffi
culty move across the room without as
sistance.
“The great desert of Africa has nearly
the present dimensions of the United
States.
At a public meeting a speaker said
that a certain thing was “just as sure as
that Borneo founded Borne.”
Forty girls will run after a snob with
a gold headed cane where one will shy
up to a fellow with sound horse^ sense.
Says Miss Kellogg: “A young girl in
her training to become a singer must
make a’covenant with her eyes, and not
look upon a man.
If Eve should come now people would
say. What big feet she has ! No one
would tempt her with apples. They

The other day a Binghampton girl of

Petroleum springs have been discover-
ered in Northern Germany, which in pa
rity, dearness and specific weight, are

A Georgia paper knows a man who
went all the way from Cassville to Atlan
ta. On his return he looked solemn with
the weight of garnered wisdom, and said:
“If the world is as big t’other was as it
is that, it's a whopper."
"We don’t want to make anybody mad,

Worse Bum evolution.—Ben Butler
said in a speech in congress the other

English and American Newspapers-
Although the English are not so uni
versally a newspaper-reading people as
the Americans, the proportion of the
former who either can not read or can
not afford to buy. being much greater,
the larger concentration of populations
in Great Britain gives to the English
press much greater circulations than ours
can boast. Probably a one hundred
thousand regular daily issue is the high
est attainment of any American paper
and the only papers that can boast of
this are the New York Sim and the Bos
ton Herald. Next to these cOmes the
cheap popular’ paper of Philadelphia, the
Ledger, with eighty to ninety thousand a
day; and after this we suppose the New
York Herald, with sixty to seventy.
From these figures there is a quick de
scent to from thirty to forty thousand,
between which rank the New York Tri
bune and the Times. After these aud be
tween twenty and thirty thousand
may be placed in the two leading Chi
cago papers—the Tribune and Times—
the Boston Journal and the Cincinnati
Commercial.
i Where the Baltimore Jiun comes in,
! we do not know; quite likely, however, it
j ranks along side or just below the New
York Herald; with forty io nftv thousand
daily.
But this list embraces all tho - daily pa
pers in the country having over twenty
thousand regular circulation. The Lon
don papers present much larger figures.
The Daily Telegraph, a paper larger than
the New York Tribune, and sold for one
penny or two cents, has a circulation, the
last year, averaging 176,000 daily; the
Standard, a paper of similar size and
pretensions and price, comes next with
considerably ever 100.000. Third in the
list is the Daily News, the liberal paper,
a large, penny quarto and printing from
seventy five to eighty thousand regularly.
The great Times, ranking first in pow
er and influence, and charging the excep
tional price of three pence or six cents,
j stands forth in circulation, and prints
; from forty to fifty thousand daily. Sev-
j eral small evening papers also have very
I large circulations. One of these, the
| Echo, is sold for half a penny or one cent,
and prints many thousands, and is a
profitable enterprise. Some of the work
ing-men’s weekly papers in London also
have enormous circulations—one, the
Lloyd Weekly Journal, going up to the
hundreds of thousands. Of the proving
cial journals, those of Manchester are the
best and have largo circulations, about as
large as the Boston Journal and the best
Chicago papers. The Edinburgh and
Liverpool and Birmingham papers,
though much poorer in quality, also have
circulations equal to our most popular
provincial newspapers.
All the materials of newspaper making
are much cheaper in England than they
are here—the writing, the editing, type
setting, the paper, telegraphing—every
thing, while the papers themselves are
less enterprising and multifarious in their
character."

■»jer Merrill ma a Liar—A Tralhfal Stair-
meat as te ihe CeaHiliea af affairs ia that
Mectiea af the Stair.
Shreveport, La., January 23.—We, the
undersigned, Northern residents of Shre
report, La., have read with inexpressible
astonishment, tke 'statements made by
Gen. Merrill and others, representing this
community in a condition of anarchy, and
its people lawless and defiant; stating
that in this vicinity there are not less
than 250 political criminals; that the
freedmen are systematically maltreated
and cheated out of their earnings, and
that 2000 have been driven from their
homes in penury. We most solemnly
assert that all such statements are base
less misrepresentations and absurdly false.
There is no lawlessness here, nor in this
vicinity, that has come to our knowledge.
The only disorders that we have known
were made by tb ; s military slanderer,
just before the election, by sending his
soldiers raiding over the country, arrest
ing unresisting citizens for imaginary of
fenses, who have not been held for trial
because there was no evidence of guilt.
If ordinary crimes are not vigorously
punished by our present judicial authori
ty, it is through no fault of tho intelligent
and virtuous part of the community, who
have had no voice in their selection. If
any tenantry have been ejected, it has
been to a small extent, and mostly, if not
altogether tbe vagabonds and vicious. If
there be any destitution among tbe color
ed people, it is in no sense from want of
remunerative employment. The relation
of the two races is unusually friendly,
arising, doubtless, from the fact that at
the recent election many colored men
voted with the tax-payers tho Conserva
tive ticket. We think the good order
here quite remarkable, when we reflect
that the parish officials and represents'
tives, who were elected by 600 majority
in as orderly an election as was ever wit
nessed, have been for the second time
Tbe toririaa Outrage-
Spirit ef Hr Pir«.
[The Natun j Independent.,
It is the most outrageous subversion of
parliamentary government by military
force yet attempted in this country. To
get the full flavor of the outrage we must
recall the fact, that as now the troops are
brought in to turn out an adverse ma
jority, so two years ago they were
brought up for the opposite purpose—to
seat a favorable majority. This time mem
bers are turned out on the strength of
returns ridicnlous and fraudulent on
their face. Two years ago they were
seated on their strength of a midnight
order, on its face illegal, issued by a
drunken United States Judge.
[Chicago Times (Independent).
One thing is certain: If Sheridan is
allowed to carry out his bloodthirsty
scheme, scenes of horror, to which Amer
ica has thus far been a stranger, will be
enacted on the soil of Louisiana.
[Courier des Etats Unis (Independent).
Tho voice-of the nation should be heard
in solemn protest against the outrage.
The people should assemble everywhere
to express their indignation and vindicate
their rights.

The Bari of Bosebery’s American
Bride-
An event of decidedly uncommon im
portance will be the marriage of a daugh
ter of W. Butler Duncan, (house of Dnn-
ean, Sherman & Co.,) to the Earl of
Rosebery (not Boseberry) who is shortly
expected here to make her his bride. I
heard a gentleman say the other day,
when speaking of this matter, “He will
get the prettiest and best girl in New
York.” Miss Duncan is a young lady of
surpassing beauty, and of the utmost
amiability of character, a great favorite in
society, and of such gentle and winning
manners that all who meet her are, I
might say, enraptured. She is the eldest
of Mr. Duncan’s children, and has just
reached the full bloom of early wo
manhood. The 'wedding is expected
to be one of the most brilliant that has
ever taken place in New York. The pro
spective husband is a gentleman of great
wealth and excellent character.
The bride's father is one of the richest
men in the metropolis. The earl is I be
lieve, a Scotchman by birth. Mr. Dun
can is an American by birth, but of
Scotch parentage. He would probably be
Mayor of New York to day if he had not
positively refused last fall to be a candi
date. His house is one of the most hos
pitable in the city, and ho is personally
one of our most popular and highly es
teemed citizens. I doubt if any young
lady ever had more good wishes before
marriage than go out to Miss Duncan
from all quarters.

SENATOR ANDREW JOHNSON.
Tennessee Sends to Oencial Grant,
Greeting-
[The Constitution's Special Nashville Dispatch]
Nashville, January 2G—The senatorial
contest which opened here on last Tues
day was one of the most exciting that
has taken place for years. The friends
of the various candidates were confident;
but none more bo than the adherents of
“Andy,” who seems to have a large place
in the popular heart of this state. The
friends of Brown, Bate, and others, did
their best; but on Saturday the contest
had narrowed down to Johnson and
Brown.
When the legislature met to-day, it was
amid the most intense excitement. The
men who have made Tennessee politics
for the past thirty years were eagerly
watching events; and when the announce
ment was made that Andrew Johnson
was chosen senator, the news spread like
wild-fire, and Nashville looked as if she
was in the past again, when she could hon
or her public men without federal interfer
ence.
Senator Johnson will, on taking his
seat, make things lively for Grant. He
has developments to make which will
make the “man on horseback" uncomfort
able.

WsMs *fVtrsls| frsa ihe Weal.
[St. Lost* RspabKeao.]
We have got far enough into the Louis
iana business to know that we shall not
get through it this year—nor next, per
haps. Congress will not do anything to
settle; it indeed, Congress will not allow
it to be settled. The President sustains
the conduct of the military, and Congress,
it is now perfectly clear, will sustain the
President Congress knows that the con
duct of the military was wrong, and that
the whole policy of the adminstration in
Louisiana is wrong; but Congress is so
largely responsible with the administra
tion for the policy which has yielded this
violent and alarming exhibition of the
military power, that to condemn the ad
ministration would be to condemn itself.
It will, therefore, endeavor to uphold
itself by upholding the administration,
Kellogg and Sheridan. It may order a
new election in Louisiana, but this will ^
not remedy the evil nor settle the ques
tion. It will only be aggravating it by
an additional wrong. Congress has no
right to order an additional election
in Louisiana, and to do so would be
to enact a fresh violence in a case where
there has been too much violence already.
Besides, a new election held under cither
the Kellogg officials or the partisans of
an administration which is responsible
for Kellogg would not be allowed to have
bnt one result—the triumph of tbe
Kellogg party and the endorsement of
the administration. Sheridan would con
duct the election, with Maj. Merrill to
aid him-, and to imagine that Sheridan
and Merrill would permit the Conserva
tives to succeed, is surpassingly pre
posterous. A new election, therefore,
would not settle the question. And
nothing that Congress and the Adminis
tration will do, or permit to be done, will
settle it Tbs only peaceful and lawful
solution of the trouble is that self-solu
tion which would follow the withdrawal
of the army—the downfall of Kellogg and
the unopposed re-election of the McEnery
government This the Administration
and Congress will not consent to do, and
we are therefore forced to ask ourselves
what course the question will take.
It will be appealed to the country.
This will be a most unfortunate thing,
for the question is pregnant with trouble
and it were infinitely better that the gov
ernment should settle it aright, or permit
it to settle itself aright, than to invite the
lamentable eonsequsnees of a fierce and
rancorous national quarrel over it. But
it is plain that Congress and the admin
istration have determined to provoke this
national quarrel and tbe dangers that
must accompany it. The President has
resolved to fight it out on the line laid
down by Sheridan, and the Republican
leaders agree to stake their fortunes on
the contest with him. Whether this de
cision does not make Grant the unavoid
able Republican champion in the next
Presidential contest, and force all other
aspirants in the p4urty to yield him pre
cedence and bring their followers to his
support, is a question which, for the
present, we merely suggest without dis
cussing. It is the mors important fact
that the TmirisM— question, with its
startling accessories, will obtrude itself
into the Presidential struggle of next
year, displace all ether issues, and make
itself the central point of the struggle
that we are now oonoemed with. The
country is already greatly inflamed over
the eventB in Louisiana, and when we
reflect that the State is in a condition to
yield still greater exhibitions of violence
than we have already seen;' that the con
test of1876 is to be the crisis of the par
ty that ba« governed the country abso
lutely for fourteen years; that this con
test is to be conducted with the dangerous
uncertainties of an electoral method
which may leave the result in dispute—
the grave and threatening situation which
tbs President has prepend for us stands
before our ayes with startling distinct
ness.

Sheridan’s suggestion and demand are
alike atrocious. They stand alone in their
monstrous bloodthirstiness; in the ir
defiance of law, justice, humanity and
the judgment of mankind. This is the
work of disfranchising a State, and giv
ing up its revenues to alien adventurers
less respectable than the freebooters who
once made the Gulf their headquarters,
and, now in futherance of that monstrous
wrong, the more atrocious suggestions is
made that those politically opposed to
them, shall be given up to the sword,
butchered, like Cuban schoolboys or
Piegan Indians by Cavalry Sheridan!

not justify, and must not attempt to
justify, military domination of legislative
bodies. It must clear its skirts of it.
The accounts of the great snow slides
in Utah which are reported by telegraph,
give a vivid picture of Ihe dangei i and
terrors of winter in the mining caxons o'
the far West. In some of their results,'
though essentially different in their ori
gin, they suggest the revelations of
Pompeii and Herculaneum. Men are
suddenly overwhelmed, and their homes
demolished and buried by the treach
erous snow. One striking instance is
given of the discover]- in one house that
had been buried, of the body of a woman
sitting in a rocking chair with her infant
clasped in her arms, and near by the
body of her husband and little girl, all
having perished by suffocation by snow.
In another instance, we read that fifty
Chinamen were overwhelmed by an
avalanchf of snow, and that twenty-eight
lost their livos.
Revolutionary BKovoments.
The most extraordinary projects are in
agitation in Washington to foil the popu
lar demand for a change in the National
Administration and arm a feeble and
reckless minority party with supreme
power to control the Government in de
fiance of the will of the people One of
these projects, now earnestly agitated,
is a large increase of the army and appro
priations for its support two years ahead.
Under pretence that the negro vote in
Southern States is controlled by in
timidation, two movements are on foot
with particular reference to that vote.
One is an act of Congress enabling them
to vote anywhere in defiance of State
laws, requiring all votes to be cast in the
county or precinct, and to vote independ
ently of any compliance with lawful con
ditions, such as the payment of taxes, etc.
Another project is the scattering of
military forces all over the Southern
States to act as armed canvassing parties
in bringing out these voters. The last
branch of this scheme is lame in this
particular: That, as the next Congress
will embrace a Democratic House of Rep
resentatives, it is assumed that it might
possibly refuse the necessary appropria
tions for paying, feeding and mobilizing
a large army of Radical convaesers, and
in fact cripple or clip the military wring
of the coup d’etat by scant rations. To
meet this possible contingency the extra
ordinary suggestion is made that this
Congress pass an appropriation bill which
aball carry the Federal army up to the
end of June, 1877, even although the
next Congress should refuse it a dollar in
fear of its prostitution to the bare pur
pose of a war upon the rights of the peo
ple and the public liberties.
Although the Radicals in Congress do
not seem to be wholly united on these
and kindred revolutionary propositions,
it is evident that they are fast concentra
ting in their favor. So many of them go
out of public service with the beginning
of March they are careless what they do,
and thero are many others who have
persuaded themselves that a Democratic
administration of the government ia such
a terrible misfortune that any scheme to
prevent it is justifiable. They are in des
perate mood, and it is fortunate that
only five weeks more remain for them to
plot mischief.—Tel. ds Messenger.

The stimulus given by the Austrian
and Prussian Governments to agricultur
al education is recommended to the ser
ious notice of the French authorities,
who are more inclined to cut down tha
subventions to agricultural institutions,
although France is so very much richer
in every respect than the two states ia
question. Of the 70 agricultural institu
tions possessed by Austria, 29 have been
established since 1870; and one of the
oldest, the veterinary school of Vienna
dates from 1766. She has technics!
schools for imparting instruction in brew
ing, distilling, and preparing flax; in gar
dening, arboriculture, Am.; pupils are eli
gible to graduate in all these in due
course, and she rewards the most suc
cessful pupils by sending eight of 4h««n
annually to study the farming of foreign
countries. Prussia is proverbially the
country for general education, and it
would seem that it was after her miafoi;
tunes 6he gave most serious attention to
agricultural matters. Her defeat at Jena
marks the creation of the celebrated col
lege of Moeglin, under Thaer; and her
troubles in 1848 led to the appointmexl
of jx minister of agriculture. Her grants
to agriculture form 20 per thousand of
the budget, while that of Franco is but
3, and this rich endowment is relatively
greater for Prussia when tho respective
population of the two couutries is cousit"*
ered. In Prussia the government as well
as the locality makes sacrifices to pro
mote agricultural instruction; not only
do large landed proprietors and muni
cipalities contribute to tho good work,
but foremost must be ranked the vaiioua
assurance companies. Prussia proper

Andy Johnson.
And now comes the telegraph, and on
its winged lightning brings the flashing
news that the Tennessee Legislature, af
ter a bitter and protracted contest, has
elected Andy Johnson as her United
States Senator.
As Sam Wilier says, “Veil, vot of it?”
Much.
The stitrdy, hard hitting, aggressive old
fighter may be looked to take no subordi
nate part in the political battles that are
gathering their storms. The indomita
ble veteran has never rested one moment
contented in the inactivity of private
life. He has chafed like a caged lion in
the retirement of his home.
There is a peculiar propriety in Andy
Johnson stepping into the United States
Senate at this time. As the special
champion of the Constitution he
his zeal as near ridiculous as a good thing
can be fashioned. His obstinate *dha.
sion to constitutional ideas was the joke
of Radicalism and the taunt of Recon
structionists. In the waning hours of tha
false theory of politics it is fitting
this champion should be at the funeral,
and l»e a chief reveller at the wake.
Amid the discordant remonstrances of
his foes, and the exultant peans of regen
eration we imagine no notes will sing out
clearer than the resonant thunder of the
Ex-President.
Iu the clamor aud hurricane of seces-
sion, Andy Johnson stood defiantly loyal,
and saw his southern peers leave him sin
gle and unattended as a Union votary.
In the mad lunacy of reconstruction he
fought the folly and stemmed the heresy.
His pluck never faltered. He never suc
cumbed in spirit, though he went down
in the melee.
He has patiently tried to get the *b«n»p»
for vengeance. With undiminished pow
ers, with his strong faculties seasoned by
age, combat and experience, with his ri
pened vigor full upon him, the irrepressi
ble Commoner has clutched tke baton of
authority once more, and wo may look for
doughty deeds in the cause of constitu
tional government.
Andy’s advent into the Senate will bs
an historic event, and his words will bs

easy cushions for those who like a little
“private and confidential" conversation
amid the flowers and plants in the beauti

pale blue satin damask, and in the mid*
die of the room stands an exquisite circu
lar divan, from the centre of which up
rises a cone-shaped pedestal, crowned
with a tall bronze antique vase filled with
exquisite flowers and trailing vines.
Williams supervised this divan he
and, in fact, assisted in its manufacture.
She is mistress of the patent, and her
parlors exhibit the only one of the kind
in the city. The wood-work of the house
is of Uadi walnut, and the applique lace
curtains and satin damask lambrequins
fall from deep gilt cornices. The pur
chase of the real estate, planning and
erection of the domicile, furnishing,
so forth, were all directly under her own
overseeing. Areal estate man declares
that “Mrs. Williams has a fine hn^d for
business. Why, she bought that proper
ty on Rhode Island avenue when it was
worth only 70 cents per foot, and now it
is valued at fully $3,50 a square foot, and
she has given me authority to sell tbe
lots adjoining her ground—some seven
