HOW THEY REC LIVED III E
NEWS FROM MAINE.
What One Said.
What. Hale—little Hale ?
You don’t mean
Eugene ?
Impossible he should fail !
Zack (’handler’s son~iu-law,
Blaine's little pet,
Out in the wet,
With no sand in his craw
It can t be, by thunder !
What next, I wonder ?
What Another Said.
Hale gone up ?
That little pup !
Blast my political eyes
If it ain’t fun !
There’s blessings in disguise,
And this is one.
He claimed to lead the party.
The jaybird, the parrot !
But after this start, he
Won’t make or mar it.
If we founder or sail.
We are well rid of Hale.
What Another Said.
What, Maine ?
You’re insane,
Or this is a put-up job.
I)o you think me so green
As to doubt that Eugene
Would surely come out of Penob-
Scot free ?
The State of Maine
Turned like a vane
In spite of Garfield and Woodford and Blaine ?
Can’t be !
This is some sort of a trick.
Give me some brandy ! I’m sick.
What Zack Chandler Said.
Has anybody seen
Eugene ?
He was running for Congress, I heard;
But suddenly seemed to stop.
And lately 1 haven't a word.
Did something appear to drop ?
Eugene is so small
That if he should fall
It would hardly be noticed at all.
What Mr. Hayes Said.
So strange that a State so strong
As Maine should go rapidly wrong !
And just when I
Had determined to try
To contribute my campaign quota
By reading John Sherman s speech,
ml mildly essaying to teach
Sound doctrines in Minnesota !
Is the Greenback sardine a whale ?
Or was something the matter with Hale?

Atlanta Constitution, 18th : "Yesterday we
met Capt. John W. Anderson, Chief Deputy
Marshal of the Southern District, and had a
short but pleasant conversation with him
relative to his recent trip into Hancock
county in search of the Ennis brothers,
whom he was making an effort to arrest.
Captain Anderson says that upon his arrival
at Milledgeville from' Savannah be without
any difficulty whatever organized a posse of
thirty of the best citizens of Milledgeville,
who volunteered their services. Of the num
ber there were many of the leading mem
bers of the legal fraternity of Baldwin coun
ty. Judge F. G. DuBignon, Judge of the
County Court, and E. P. Speer, editor of the
Old Capital, were among the number. The
posse,under the command of Capt. Anderson,
marched into Hancock county, and upon ar
riving at the residence of the Ennis brothers,
surrounded it. The residence was searched,
also a large portion of Hancock and
Baldwin counties without success. From
parties who reside in the vicinity of the
house it was learned that the Ennis brothers
had left the county, and had probably gone
to Texas. Captain Anderson, upon gaining
this information, returned to Milledgeville
and disbanded his body of men. His visit
to our city is for the purpose of making a
report to Colonel O. P. Fitzsimons and
for consultation relative to the best course
to pursue in the matter.”
Lumpkin Independent: “The gin house on
the Porter place, four miles uorth of Lump
kin, was burned on yesterday morning be
fore daylight, together with about seven or
eight bales of seed cotton, cotton gin and
appurtenances. The tire must have been
the work of an incendiary. This loss falls
upon the children of the late Mrs. John L.
Porter, and is a severe one to them.”
The Star mentions the following painful
accident to one of the citizens of Coving
ton. It says: "Early on Monday morning
Dr. J. C. Clark, of the firm of Clark, Brooks
<te Co., druggists, was engaged in makiug
some varnish, on a small stove sitting in the
fireplace, at the rear of the drug store. The
varnish was contained in a large pan on the
stove, and a quantity of it was accidentally
thrown out of the pan upon the stove, when
the turpentine in it took fire, aud the flames
immediately enveloped the pan, and burned
so rapidly that the blaze ran out at the top
of the chimney and up to the ceiling inside
the room. Dr. Clark, in order to
save the building from being burned,
heroically caught up the burning
pan of ' varnish in his naked hands
and threw it out of the door, but in doing
so, spilled the burning fluid over his hands
and knees, and scattered a quantity of it
over the floor between the fireplace and
door, and through his eagerness to put out
the fire on the floor, and the consequent ex
citement of the moment, he failed to notice
the live blaze enveloping his hands until
they were burned in the most painful and
serious manner. Had not Mr. Brooks been
in the store and come to his assistance as
speedily as he did Dr. Clark would certainly
have been most seriously if uot fatally
burned. Both his hands are badly burned,
but the right hand and wrist are the most
painful, aud seriously so, while his left knee
is badly blistered.”
Walton County Vidette : "From a gentle
man who saw the deceased soon after the
sad and unfortunate occurrence hereafter
narrated, we learn the following particulars
of the killing of a young man aged about
eighteen years, named Brooks, who lived on
the plantation of Mr. James Freeman, in
Jasper county, by Mr. Richard Campbell, of
the same county, on the evening of the 12th
instant. Deceased and Campbell had spent,
the day in Covington, going and returning
home in the same buggy, aud during the
day imbibing more or less whisky. On
their return, upon arriving at Mr. Free
man’s—Brooks’ home—he alighted and
went into the house and, immediately re
turning, engaged in a quarrel with Camp
bell about an old difficulty, or ill feeling
which had existed between them. Camp
bell replied to him ‘not to push that old
trouble on him,’ but let him alone. This
enraged Brooks, it seems, and he told
Campbell ‘one of us has got to die,’ and
sprang at him. Campbell pushed him off,
and drawing his pistol discharged it in the
air, thinking, our informant avers, to deter
Brooks. Nothing daunted, however, Brooks
sprang at him again, when Campbell shot
him mortally in the left breast just below
the nipple. He lived only a short time.
Our in formant thinks it a clear case of justi
fiable homicide. Campbell had not been
arrested at last accounts.”
New York Sun : "The Supreme •Court of
Georgia has decided that the State is not
obliged, in order to support an indictment
for gambling, to prove that nickels staked at
cards are of value, aud Thomas Mallory,
who depended upon this nice point to keep
out of jail, will h ive to serve his time. Po
ker Schenek should not fail to notice this
important decision in the next edition of his
famous work on poker.”
Sandersville Courier: ‘‘John Willis, alias
George Dykes, colored, convicted lately of
assault with attempt to murder Mr. H. C.
Cummins, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years, and Ben Whatley, another col
ored convict, jumped from the train near
East Point on the 29th August. The train
was stopped and pursuit made, and we are
glad to state they have been recaptured.
They were being* sent to the coal mines.
These escapes are too frequent to deter
criminals and to give security to good citi
zens.”

How the Bonnocks Surprised one
of Hayden’s Surveying Parties.—A
letter just received in Washington from
Mr. AV ilson, a member of the Hayden Sur
vey, whose mules were taken by the
Bannocks, gives the following particu
lars: "On the 25th of August the In
dians surprised us at Henry’s Lake at
8:30 p. m. We were sitting around the
camp fire when we were fired on by the
Indians, who were not more than seventy
feet distant. Strange to say, they hurt
none of us by the fire. We made an in
effectual effort to protect, and concluded
that nothing could be done but to get
away alive. We heard the Indians driv
ing off our animals, and then knew that
our party was in reality a foot. Taking
provisions for three or four days, and
our blankets and guns, we got away un
der cover of the night, and moving off
about a mile in the woods we remained
there until daylight, when the Indians
reopened fire on our deserted camp, and
we started for the upper Geysers; and
after a hard walk of three days we reach
ed there and found Jackson s and Gan-
nett's parties there, and all safe. Be
fore abandoning our camp on Henry
Lake I carefully bid away my theodo
lite, and to-morrow 1 start back to the
camp with my trusty friend, Harry
Yount, and one pack mule, to recover
the instrument, if possible.”
One of the rich men of Memphis,
whom the Avalanche accused by name
of failing to contribute to the sufferers,
sends the editor an insulting note in
which he says: “The Citizens’ Relief
Committee or the columns of the Ava
lanche will tell you that you lied in your
Tuesday paper so far as I am concerned.
Don’t do so any more about a citizen, or
any one else who has contributed. Don't
take advantage of your accidental eleva
tion to the tripod to sneer at, abuse and
slander gentlemen. Remember that others
have only left you behind because you
are the most worthless thing about the
establishment.” The Avalanche publishes
the card in full, and replies that the
writer proposed to irive a certain sum
of money to the Howards when their
funds fell helow three thousand dollars,
and that they ‘ met this insulting propo
sal” with a “storm of indignation,” that
while thousands of dollars have been
contributed by poor people, the writer,
who “personally occupies a bomb-proof
position at White Sulphur Springs, lias
contributed the paltry sum of fifty dol
lars.”

Toledo, O., September 19.—The Presi

and made a speech highly eulogistic of
Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, which States
were numerously represented in the au
dience. The address referred to the ma
terial interests of that section aud the
cause of business stagnation, which the
President attributed to the war, the
government, at its end, becoming a
seller instead of a buyer; and, said
the President, it is written in the laws
of political economy that wars are followed
by hard times and panics. Addressing him
self to the effects of the hard times, the
President thought that when the cud was
reached, and Ihe expenses of all, neces
sarily reduced, are less than receipts, all
will be better off. Continuing, the Presi
dent discussed the national finances in the
same manner as his previous speeches, made
during the present tour.

Horatio Bisbee, of Florida, Candidate
for Congress.
Editor Morning News: The book of Job is
a dramatic poem, in which Jehovah is the
name given to the Supreme power. Those
who have not forgotten their Sunday school
lessons will remember how we are taught
in that book the sublime doctrine that the
good and evil of this life are not the result
of chance or caprice, for Jehovah’s care
extends over ail his creatures, restraining
wrong, avenging the innocent.
In our day, it seems the inspiration of
"Uncle Sain” is the supreme power of the
Government of the United States, and takes
the place of the Jehovah of the people of
whom Job wrote. "Uncle Sam” seems our
ideal of supreme power of this country.
About one hundred years ago delegates of
the people representing the then thirteen
American colonies met in Philadelphia to
listen to what "Uncle Sam” had to say
about certain troubles with the King who
ruled in America and lived in old England.
So, when they were all gathered together
by States, he spoke to them as by inspira
tion in this wise: "For the sake of mutual
protection aud peace one and all must
agree to a common rule of action, just and
equitable to each and all, protecting alike
the weakest or the strongest.”
"Remember,” said he, "in Europe wars
have devastated the laud, because of differ
ences of opinion among stronger and weaker
powers. Now, for the sake of peace and
harmony, we must avoid that evil herq by
agreeing and entering into a solemn con
tract to respect each other’s private and po
litical opinions, and concede to others what
you require others to concede to you, and this
was agreed to. It was also agreed that uo
law should be made abridging the freedom
of speech or of the press.” These laws, with
some others, were referred to the whole
people, who voted on the question of ac
cepting or rejecting them, and they were
accepted as the rule of action of “Uncle
Sam.”
As far back as fifty years ago that por
tion of the colouies which were called New
England commenced to infringe upon and
violate some of these salutary rules. “Un
cle Sam” interfered, and all seemed set
tled; but, seventeen years ago, new com
plications in relation to these rights arose,
which culminated in open war, both parties
arming for hostilities. After four years of de
cantation, because of a difference of political
opinion in relation to the pow'ers of “Unele
Sam,” a peace, or patched up agreement
called a peace, was concluded, the defen
sive party being obliged to submit for a
time to the rule of the offensive or New
England party. It was soon conceded by
the wise aud reflecting men of both parties
that the former breaches were now healed,
and that a union of feeling and interest
once more prevailed. New England influ
ence, assuming the authority of “Uncle
Sam,” in the meantime had made an un
just rule, after the European style (which
proved only temporary), that all the South
ern people who had engaged in the war
should have no say in their future govern
ment, by requiring of them what is famili
arly known as the "ironclad oath.” The
sole result of this was to take from "Un
de Sam” the government of eleven States
and transfer them to New England, after the
ancient barbarian style, and thus "open these
States to pillage, sanctioned by law.”
The Governors of these eleven States
were chosen by those "new inhabitants”
which could take the ironclad oath; the
Marshals, Postmasters, Judges of the courts,
Collectors of Taxes, U. S. District Attor
neys aud State’s Attorneys, Justices of
the Peace, aud all other officers were
appointed, not from our citizens,
but from among those who were hos
tile in every respect to our comfort
and interests. We were in fact, for a time,
colonics of New England, with uo govern
ment of our own, contrary to the original
compact aud the terms of peace and Ameri
can principles of civil liberty. As time
passed and reason commenced to operate in
reflective and thoughtful minds in the Mid
dle and Western States, "Uncle Sam” inter
fered, and these bull-dog, unrighteous
usurpations aud thieving governments be
came unpopular, and our rights as American
citizens were gradually restored and repre
sentation allowed. But Horatio Bisbee, the
United States District Attorney for Florida,
was incorrigible, and uutil the very last mo
ment of his retention iu office he persisted
in administering the irouclad oath to jurors,
writing to members of Congress that he
could not convict any one without doing so,
aud that the law must not be repealed, as
was then proposed, for no native Floridian
or old citizen was a fit juryman, and it was
necessary to administer this oath and keep
them out of the courts—thus practically de
nouncing every patriotic Floridiau as a bar
barian who had differed with him in relation
to the causes, justice and objects of the war.
This is the man who now offers himself
for Congress to represent us. The old citi
zens aud native Floridians—those whom be
denounced as not honest or patriotic enough
to serve on juries—aud many of the new
citizens will never vote for him—all know
him. It is well known by his friends and
neighbors, when be lived in New Enghiud,
as well as those who have come in contact
with him here since 1868, that he is conceit
ed, stiff, vain, avaricious and revengeful, and
the latter perseveringly. His reveuge, uutil
lately seemed ungovernable, as against any
one who took any part in the war, and all
Southerners did this.
Notwithstanding this, in all things we do
not bold him to be a bad man, aud some
times think he is sincere in his work—as sin
cere as was Pontias Pilate; as were the
managers and tools of the Spanish inqui
sition; as Cotton Mather and his judges in
their celebrated acts in Solemn Mass; or as
Torgueraada and Calvin; or as those who
captured and sold the Dartmouth Indians
into slavery; or as those who fitted out slave
ships to Cape Coast Castle for profit, which
is only a bastard name for man’s woe when
tvrants are in power, and the more so, as it
redounds to the interest of the tyrant. That
such men are sincere, only increases the dan
ger to civil liberty.
“A revengeful spirit and tyranny, like
Hall,” said a wise and great writer, "is not
easily conquered.” This is freedom’s trial
hour. When revengeful tyranny proposes to
represent Americans it is time to raise the
voice against such an outrage. To under
stand Horatio Bisbee, late United States Dis
trict Attorney, it is only necessary to re
member the prosecution of Governor Alli
son, of Doctor Crawford and other mem
bers of the State Senate, and a hundred
others iu the several counties of the First
aud Second Congressional districts. On a
certain momentous occasion General Wash
ington said: "Pat Americans on guard to
night.” As equivalent to this we say, vote
for Noble A. HUH for Congress End maintain
a genuine representation of all our interests,
and assist to maintain home rule in Florida.
Perfect harmony and hard work will accom
plish the desirable object.
“To speak his thoughts is every freeman’s
right.
In peace and war, in council and in fight.
"A Jewish court declared that Jesus was
a blasphemer, and crucified him; a Greek
court, that Socrates was a corruptor of
youth, and poisoned him: a Romau court,
that Galileo, was a heretic, and racked him;
an English court, that Bunyan was a non
conformist, and imprisoned him;” a Florida
ironclad oath court, of which Uoratio Bis-
bee was the head and front, the eyes, ears
and brain, imprisoned Governor A. K. Alli
son for openly pleadiug for the Democratic
party and defending the purity of the ballot-
box,* which was construed to mean intimida
tion. The room assigned him was, however,
allowed by the iailer to be well furnished,
and he had cousfant leisure to receive and
converse with his friends who daily called
upon him with gifts and expressions of love
and sympathy. Such is the spirit and inspi
ration of Uncle Sam’s people for American
civil liberty. **
(Jcilla, Fla., September 17, 1878.
The fatal days of yellow fever are
considered to be third, fifth, seventh aod
ninth, the danger decreasing in geome
tric proportions. After the ninth day,
the patient is considered to be out of all
danger, save that of a relapse, which is
certain to follow even the slightest im
prudence in diet or exercise, and is sure
death. The sallowness, from which this
disease derives its name, does not this

five.
Leaves from a Private Correspondence
Le Put, France.
Dear *****—I have been sitting, for the
last ten minutes, leaning on the table and
looking out at the beautiful scenery before
me, though scarcely appreciating it; for it
is a dark, dull da}', and I fear the gloom of
the day has throw'n a shadow over my spirits.
But I hope I shall not allow my thoughts in
this, my last letter from the south of France,
to be tinged with their triste coloring.
Le Puy is one of the most remarkable
cities in France. It is remarkable for its
antiquity, for its evidences of constant Chris
tianity, and for its remains of the emblems
of that pagan worship which preceded the
Christian era, as if there were something
in the air, or in the unchanging hills, or
some mysterious influence which fits it to
be the scene of devotion and the stronghold
of a faith.
According to the traditions of the Church,
the Cathedral of LePuy was founded by St.
George, who was sent by St. Peter from
Rome into Gaul to establish here a centre
from which to propagate and extend the
Christian religion. So it must have been a
city of importance in the days of the Apos
tles.
This Cathedral is still in good condition,
though, doubtless, it has been sedulously
kept in repair, and under the same system
it must remain as good to the end of time
as it has been kept for the last eighteen
hundred and fifty years.
One has a solemn and peculiar sensation
in treading the floor and listening to the
reverberations from the walls of a place de
voted for so many centuries to one con
tinuous sacred purpose; a place whose fame
has caused it to be visited by nearly every
monarch of France and by Princes of the
Church from every clime, and by millions
of penitents who have come to lay their
sorrows and their crimes before its altar.
This was the beginning, in Le Puy, of the
Christian religion, begun and continued in
that spirit which has made France, proba
bly, the most consistently religious nation
in the world, and pursued with that unyield
ing and aggressive force which attacked Pa
ganism in its strongholds, and drove from
the face of the earth the licentious my
thology of ancient Rome and Greece.
But "before this time, while the Romans
were in the height of the power which they
had extended over Gaul, they constructed
upon a higher rock in the rear of what is
now the village of Polignac, a temple of
Apollo, and people came from every part to
consult the oracie, whose fame had* extend
ed wherever the Roman power was known.
But little remains of the famous temple.
A colossal “Head of Apollo” lies upon a pile
of rocks. If it ever was “as beautiful as Ap-
pollo” time and abuse have fearfully altered
it, for it is now hideous in the extreme, and
no more to be compared to the Apollo
Belvidere than “Hyperion to a Satyr.”
And there is a great square stone upon
which are the now almost illegible remains
of a Latin inscription, said to have been left
by the Emperor Nero, in commemoration of
his visit to the temple and his satisfaction
with the response he received from the
oracle. So it seems that even he, the most
unfeeling and unremorseful tyrant known
to history, whose name is held in exeeratiou
among men of all nations, felt impelled, in
some extremity, to bend himself before his
deity, aud even he could receive the conso
lations of a favorable reply to his address.
The oracle was consulted in this man
ner; The petitioner was met at ihe
base of the mountain by the High
Priest, and having delivered his
address into the hands of that function
ary he ascended to the temple to await the
response of the oracle. The priest, in the
meantime, ascended to the temple through
a cylindrical subterranean way, parts of
which still remain, possessing himself be
fore arriving there of the contents of the
address, aud framing the answer iu his mind.
Arriving iu the temple at a point under the
Head of Apollo, the priest, with due solem
nity, pronounced the oracular reply, which
the recipient accepted with thanks accord
ing to his satisfaction, and gifts according
to his rank, and went on his way rejoicing,
or otherwise, as his case might be.
But there are much more extensive ruins
here than those connected with the temple
and oracle of Apollo.
When the Roman power declined and was
succeeded by those dre adful years of petty
Independencies and desultory spoliation, the
Prince of Polignac was a lord of great
power in the land, and he built on this spot
a castle of enormous strength, some re
mains of which may yet be seen. And from
this stronghold the Prince held in terror the
lesser Lords within his reach, and if they
refused to join him in fighting his greater
enemies, he quietly took possession of their
estates, just as a great European power
recently did with poor old Hanover, for
might was right in those days—well, just a«
it is now.
And when he captured an enemy whose
liberty was dangerous or offensive to him,
he escorted him through a tunnel in the
rock to a chamber from which there was no
egress, bade him good night, and was never
troubled by him any more We saw these
subterranean passages and the chambers,
but no remains of the Prince’s unhappy
guests.
And we saw the remains of five great
gates, flanked by loop holes, from which
the sentinels might scrutinize the ap
plicant for admission before letting down
the drawbridge. And there is a tower of
great height still standiug, from which the
sentinels could see the approach of an ene
my for many miles. I wished very much to
go up into this tow er, but it is not permitted
now, on account of the danger.
It is evident that many thousands of men
might have been contained in this fortress
and defy a blockading enemy for many
months. It was entirely surrounded by a
wall, remains of which still stand in many
parts. Aud there are mins of buildings of
all kinds, the castle itself, the barracks for
the men, kitchens iu which are chimneys
where an ox might easily be roasted entire,
and there were stables and shelters for every
kind of animal necessary to be protected in
a besieged city. And we could plainly dis
tinguish the parade upon which he assembled
his men for defense, or marshaled them for
a raid upon some unsuspecting neighbor,
which was the custom of the great lords in
that day.
And there w’as, as was customary in those
days, a citadel or inner castle of greater
strength, to which they might retire if
closely pressed by the enemy. And from
that went a subterranean passage down
through the solid rock, and then out into
the plain, through which that terrible man
might escape iu the last extremity. Hqw
deep it was and how far it wont we could
only guess, for w’e could not see. 1 threw
a stone down, however, and we heard it re
bound seven times, and then the sound was
lost in the distance.
It was Madame P who took me and
her daughter, Mademoiselle Jeanne, to see
these interesting ruins. We drove over a
fine smooth road, bordered with elegant
country seats, in Madame’s own carriage,
and with her gay, high-stepping horses; and
1 do not think I ever enjoyed a drive so
much. It was such a contrast to the sleepy
hacks in which we have to ride whenever
we go any distance here.
Bulw’er must have understood the French
character perfectly, and their customs too.
Again, I have seen something which reminds
me of the Parisians—a baby sent away from
its mother with only the bonne to take care
of it.
On our way to the ruins we had to leave
the carriage at the foot of the mountain
and make the ascent on foot. Aud it was
while on that path that we passed a little
modern cottage, in front of which sat a
young woman making lace. A little in ad
vance of her were four children playing in
the grass, and a wrinkled, tanned old peas
ant woman stauding by them.
As we stopped to look at them, one beau
tiful little blue-eyed baby stretched out its
hands towards us and laughed as if in re
cognition, and tried hard to talk. And
when the woman told her to bow to us, she
nodded her head at us so sweetly.
We did not stop then to inquire
about the pretty child, but went on
up to the ruins ; but the further we went in
among those mementoes of a long past age,
the more I thought of the liviDg present in
the form of that sweet baby. A painful sus
picion dwelt in my mind as I thought of that
fresh, lovely child, aud then of the tanned
little children on the grass, and the wrinkled
old crone. Who knows what is the true his
tory of that pretty, aristocratic-looking
child ? I thought of Arline and Mignon.
and wondered if the gypsies had really got
ten possession of that beautiful creature,
evidently born so high above their sphere.
I almost satisfied myself that she had been
stolen, and determined, when we should
reach the cottage on our return, to ask the
bonne for an account of her little charge.
But I was deceived by my suspicions, and
my romantic apprehensions were unfounded
—at least, I hope so. The bonne said that
it was the child of a lady of St. Etienne,
who had sent it to the mountains to spend
the summer. And she said the infant felt
that it knew us because we dressed and
looked like its mother. She played with
the buttons on Mademoiselle Jeanne’s dress,
and was delighted with my chain, and tried
to get at my watch. And still we lingered
ana looked at the pretty child, and kissed
her with all the tenderness of our hearts.
Poor little thing, so far from its mother!
Madame P—~ gave bon-bons to the chil
dren, and we pursued our course. Rut I
could not divest myself of a vague, unsat
isfactory feeling about that “sweetest inno
cent” unt'il after walking in silence for some
time I became suddenly aware that rain was
threatening to fall: and, as I had on my
best new bonnet, of course a much more
practical apprehension took possession of
my mind.
That was an alarming discovery. The
ruins we had been promenading through
were forgotten iu the impending ruin of
some of our best “ things; ” so we quick
ened our pace, and reached the carriage
just in time to find that the shower had
taken another direction, and left us a crisp,
exhilarating mountain atmosphere to drive
home in.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of every Sun
day and Wednesday a military band begins
and plays in every city in France for an
hour. That which plays In the park at Le
Puy is said to be the fourth in the scale of
excellence, so you perceive it must be a
fine one. They play the music of the most
popular composers, and necessarily draw
very largely on the opera for their airs. It
is delightful, and we often listen to these
concerts while riding or promenading in the
park.
On the night of the fete of the republic,
the citv was illumninated, and the spray
from the fountains sparkled like gems in
the brilliant lights. A platform was erected
for the band, and they executed some of
the finest music I ever heard. LePuy is
said to have thirty thousand inhabitants,
but that night the crowd was immense, and
I think the populations from all the neigh
boring villages must have come to witness
the spectacle, and give vent to their patriot
ism.
Such hurrahing and shouting of “ Vive la
Republique /” It is all the same, whether
for a coronation or a decapitation, the en
thusiastic Frenchman shouts with equal en
ergy in either case. And the monarchy, the
empire or the republic is celebrated with
equal zeal and splendor.
I remember that in my first letter after my
arrival, when I was sick and weak, I told
you I thought I looked like a chimpanzee;
and now, in this, my last letter from the
south of France, after I have entirely recov
ered my health and strength, I find myself
claiming acquaintance with a monkey.
Yes, just as I am closing my letter, I am
startled by a familiar sound, as if some friend
had spoken to me in my native tongue. It
is the sudden commencement, under my
window, of an air from II Travatore on a
hand organ. Here 1 am amongst people
who never utter a word of English, and who
do scarcely anything as we do it at home,
and I realize fully that I am in a foreign
land.
But the hand organ is cosmopolitan. I
jump up when I hear it, and go to the win
dow aud look out. And, for the moment, I
feci as if I am at home, for I hear the fa
miliar tunes, aud there is the familiar Italian,
as he walks along with the step peculiar to the
man who plays the street organ; and pos
sibly even the monkey and his grave at
tempts to be funny may have something to
do with it, but for the moment I feel a
pang of homesickness, and I would give
anything to see you all and hear you say
something—anything, so I but hear my na
tive tongue in your dear, familiar voices.
Well, that will come soon, now. A few
weeks in Paris, and then for home and
friends. And so, for a little while longer I
send you good-bye, and my best love for
you all. L.
A True Union of North anti South.
Hon. Beverly Tucker, of Virginia,
writes to the New York World, depre
cating the sectional feelings engendered
and fostered by political parties in this
country. In the course of his letter he
says: “ Upon the eve of the great politi
cal campaign opening up before us, does
it not behoove the people everywhere to
put their unmistakable stamp of repro
bation and telling censure upon a repe
tition of the unholy work of incitation
of section against section which has been
going on for years, and stop it right here?
This fraud upon truth for political effect
has been perpetrated long enough. The
people of the North and South do not
hate each other. Else why this wail from
the land of the scourge and pestilence,
and the ready response it has found in
the sympathizing breasts of a Northern
brotherhood? In my late* visit to your
great commercial emporium—so cosmo
politan in its character and noble in its
charities—as a Southern man I have
been profoundly impressed and deeply
touched in the” manifestation of tender
consideration, in all classes, for the suf
fering, stricken commun ties of our
Southern cities. Already more than a
hundred thousand dollars have gone
forth to the scenes of devastation from
New York alone, while Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, and other
towns throughout the North, have spo
ken right out their heartfelt sympathy,
and given substantial effect to it by gen
erous contributions to the plague invested
cities of the South. And the work still
goes bravely on! I beard, too, the fervent
supplications from the chancel and the
pulpit to the ‘Lor i of life and death, of
sickness and health,’ for the arresc of the
march of that fatal scourge, the recovery
of the sick, the spiritual consolations of
the dying and the comfort of the broken
hearted living—and all the people cried
amen!
“Men and women in the South in whose
natures are tabernacled generous impulses
will never forget these kindly ministra
tions in this dark hour of disease and
death. Not a Southern hand that will
not be reached forth in grateful acknow-
ledgment and heartfelt appreciation for
the spontaneous sympathy and timely
aid of our Northern brothers. They have
indeed proved that ‘blood was thicker
than water.’ Let us hope, then, that
this wdiolesome frame of mind mav not
be disturbed by another era of maddened
crimination and recrimination, and let
the South especially lay lhis lesson to
heart, and keep it constantly in her
memory; that when her own were a-liun-
gered and thirsty and naked and sick,
and near the prison of death, they
were kindly ministered unto by
her Northern brethren of a common
nationality. Nor let the men of the
North cloud their noble motives and
stultify the generous deeds they have
done and are doing in the cause of
humane philanthropy by countenancing
a political canvass characterized by acri
monious abuse of their Southern breth
ren. All this is mod; unnatural and un
profitable. As sure as God is true, it is
wrong, and has much to do with the
general distress of the country. There
can be no common prosperity in the
absence of a vital community of interest
in each other. The battle axe must not
only be buried, but the sword and the
spear must be turned into the plow’share
aud the pruning hook, and the calumet
of peace must be smoked throughout the
whole length and breadth of the land.
Let Congress leave off ‘politics’ and
give us wise and peaceful legislation,
and then, and not till then, shall we see
a truly united people, restored to the in
estimable blessing of happiness and pros
perity. ”
Mysterious Affair.—A mysterious
affair occurred in Pittsburg, Pa., on the
15th instant, between twelve and three
o’clock in the morning, in w'hich several
prominent young men ape involved, and
which, it is thought, will result in the
death of one of them. About midnight
three men, Charles W. Marsh, William
Lyon and O. C. G. Cramp, started out
in a carriage for a drive to the East End.
Returning, they got out of the carriage
at Congress and Wylie streets. They
w'ere then apparently on good terms.
Shortly afterwards Marsh was found ly
ing on the ground near the Soho school-
house, his skull fractured, and his spine
injured. It is thought he will die. Some
think the men got into a fight among
themselves after leaving the carriage.
Others believe that Mar.-h was attacked
by some unknown person? after parting
with his comuauiouS. They were all con
siderably under the influence of liquor
at the time. Lyon and Cramp are in the
lock-up. Marsh was chief bookkeeper
of the Union Works, and auditor of the
Lucy Furnace and Edward Thompson
Steel Works. The other two occupy
high business positions. The police are
investigating the case.
It U said that the German Socialists
propose, in case the pending bill for their
suppression is passed, to dissolve of their
own accord all their associations, and to
suppress all their journals, in order to
avoid pursuits and seizures. They con
sider themselves sufficiently strong to
continue their propaganda secretly, from
house to house, without infringing on
the new' law; but as they cannot alto
gether dispense with the assistance of the
press, they intend to publish certain jour
nals in foreign countries, and to take
such measures as will enable them to cir
culate them throughout Germany, despite
all interdictions and obstacles.
A Good Campaign Document.
Detroit Free Press.
The Treasury Department has recentl}’
issued a document which contains excel
lent campaign material for the Democra
cy. It is a statement showing the re
ceipts and expenditures of the govern
ment by fiscal years from 1855 to 1878
inclusive. The information contained
in this statement, with the exception of
that for the year 1878, can be found in
the Finance Report for 1877; but as this
is inaccessible to many, the Treasury
Department is entitled to thanks for the
superior opportunity it has afforded for
the more general dissemination of the
information. Like other matter which
bristles with figures, the document must
be studied before it reveals its rich stores
of comparison favorable to the control
by the Democracy of the purse-strings of
the nation.
By analyzing the statement it appears
that for the fiscal year preceding the war
the expenditures of the government, ex
clusive of those for pensions and for the
management of the public debt, were as
follows :
Civil and miscellaneous $23,267,010
War Department 22,981.150
Navy Department 12,420,887
Indians 2,841,358
Total $61,510,405
It appears, further, that during the
year ended June 30,1871, after the heavy
expense attendant on the reduction of
the army had been paid, the expendi
tures of the government, excluding, as
before, the payments for pensions ami of
interest on the public debt, as well as
the premiums on loans and purchase of
bends, were as follows:
Civil and miscellaneous $60,481,316
W'ar Department 35,799.991
Navy Department 19,431.027
Indians 7,426,997
Total $123,139,931
That is, the expenditures for the same
purposes were in the aggregate just
double what they were ten years before.
There was a tine field here for the further
cutliug dow’n of expenditure. But with
a Republican House to lavishly vote
away money in appropriations, there was
a large increase in 1872 in the expendi
tures for the purposes named over those
for 1871; and a very large further in
crease in 1873, the excess in that year
over 1871 being $28,000,000, or nearly
half the entire expenditures in 1861, for
the purposes indicated. The next year
showed a small reduction from 1873. In
1875 there was a decrease of several mil
lions, but the figures were larger than in
1872 or 1871, and in 1876—the last year
for w'hich a Republican House made ap
propriations—when a gigantic effort
was made to cut down expendi
tures so that the Democratic House
should have barren fields in which to
w'oijv, a further reduction of nearly six
teen million dollars was made. This was
heralded as the very quintessence of re
trenchment and economy, and in a speech
made at the first session of the Forty-
fourth Congress, Hale piled it on so thick
upon Garfield, who had been Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations, that
if the latter ha ‘ been at all a modest
person he would certainly have been
overwhelming. Yet notwithstanding all
this boasting, the expenditures classed
under the four general heads above given,
being those peculiarly within the control
of Congress, were actually larger than
they had been five years before, as the
following statement for 187C will show:
Civil and miscellaneous $ 66,958,373
War Department 38,070,888
Navy Department JS,963,3<»9
Indians 5,966,558
Total $129,959,128
Thus the expenditures for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1876, for the pur
poses enumerated were $6,800 000 larger
than they were June 30, 1871, and $68,-
400,000—nearly $7,000,000 more than
double—greatei than they w'ere June 30,
1861. This was the situation when
Democratic economists took the pruning
knife in hand. How well they have
wielded it can be seen by the following
statement of expenditures for June 30.
1878, made under their appropriations :
Civil and miscellaneous $ 53,177,703
War Department 32.154.147
Navy Department 17,365.301
Indians 4,629,280
Total $107,326,431
Here is a direct cut of $22,600,000 from
the expenditures made under authority
of appropriations of the last Republican
Congress; and it w'as made in the face of
a hostile Senate, and notwithstanding the
necessity of heavy appropriations to meet
charges contracted by the Navy Depart
ment before a Democratic House had a
voice in appropriations. A. Democratic
Senate and House cordially acting togeth
er in efforts at retrenchment would do
more than bridge the difference per capita
between expenditures in 1861 and 1878-
A comparative statement of per capita ex
penditures in 1861, 1871, 1876 and 1878
shows the following.

1871..
$1 96
3 22
1876 2 99
1878 2 38
Every Democratic Representative in
Congress participated in the good work
done since a Democratic House has had
control. The annual expenditure for
the purposes enumerated was about $80,-
000 less for each Congressional district
in 1878 than it was in 1876. These
figures show how desirable, on econon^
cal grounds, is the election of Democratic
Representatives.
The Marriage of Great Men.
Robert Burns married a farm girl,
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in a plowed field. He
w r as irregular in his life, and committed
the most serious mistakes in conducting
his domestic affairs.
Milton married the daughter of a coun
try squire, and lived with her but a time,
lie was an austere literary recluse, while
she was a rosy, rompiDg country lass,
who could not endure the restraint im
posed upon her; so they separated. Sub
sequently, however, she returned, and
they lived tolerable happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were
courins, and about the only example in
the long line of English monarchs where
in the marital vows W'ere sacredly ob
served, and sincere affection existed.
Shakspeare loved and wedded a farm
er’s daughter. She was faithful to her
vows, but we could hardly say the same
of the bard himself. Like most of the
great poets, he showed too little discrimi
nation in bestowing his affections on the
other sex.
Washington married a woman with two
children. It is enough to say she was
worthy of him and they lived as married
people should live—in perfect harmony
with each other.
John Adams married the daughter of
a Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of John being a
lawyer. He had a bad opinion of the
moral&of the profession.
John Howard, the great philanthro
pist, married his nurse. She was alto
gether beneath him in social life and in
tellectual capacity, and, beside?, ibfe
was fifty-two years old, while he was
but twenty-five. He wouldn't take “No”
for an answer, and they were married
and lived happi!v until she died, which
occurred two years afterwards.
Peter the Great of Russia married a
peasant. She made an excellent wife
and a sagacious Empress,
Humboldt married a poor girl lie-
cause he loved her. Of course thev were
happy.
It is not generally known that Jack-
son married a lady whose husband was
still living. She wras an uneducated but
amiable woman, and was most devoutly
attached to the old warrior and states
man.
John C. Calhoun married his cousin,
and their children, fortunately, were
neither diseased nor idiotic; but they did
not evince the talent of the great State’s
rights advocate.
The new color that will predominate in
the coming fall and winter in dress goods
and trimmings is called the Thiers red.
It is a deep, dark garnet, richer than the
cardinal red that has been so much worn
of late. It will be very handsome in
bonnet trimmings, *or flowing ribbons
and belts, and is especially handsome in
satin and velvet
