feel as you of the North? Do you think
we are stone or dull clay, that you add
to our griefs your perpetual taunts?
You have conquerred us, you have
crushed us, you are our masters, you
have taken our swords, our guns, our
forts, our ships, you have disbanded
our armies nuil disfranchised our best
and most honored men. If you choose
to call secession a crime, you can do it;
you can hang us because we claimed
the right to secede. If you choose to
ray the belief in States’ rights is trea
son, you can do so, and hang us for
such belief. But if such opinions are
to be held as crime, you should so set
them down in your code of laws, and
annex thereto the penalty you say they
deserve. If you choose to play the tj- c
rant over us and establish an inqulsi- -
tion over free thought and free speech,
you can do it, but you should first
make out your code of laws, that we
may walk warily. What monstrous
injustice is that government guilty of
that leaves what it calls treason so un
defined that even wise men anil loyal
souls like Horace Greeley, made the
dreadful mistake of preaching it to one
hundred thousand people? Jefferson
Davis is no greater criminal than the
men who put him at the head of the
Southern Confederacy; if he deserves
hanging, so do they; if he is unworthy
to stand on your soil and look your
soldiers in the face, so are millions of
our men unworthy. When you call
him a coward and an arch-traitor, you
call them cowards and arch-traitors.
If you hato him with that bitter and
malignant hatred, we will accept it as
our portion also.

Washington Ding.
Washington, August 21, 1875.—
In June last, the large dry goods store
of Perry & Brother, on Pennsylvania
avenue, was robbed on Sunday after
noon of 80,000 worth of silks and laces.
The store was in the most frequented
locality, and the detectives at once
sought a clow to the robltcrs, traciug
the property and one of the burglars
to Baltimore. Two-thirds of the goods
were recovered. A party who gave
the name of Schneider was arrested
and identified as having been seen
lounging in the locality of the store on
the day of the robbery. The boldness
of the theft, in connection with the fact
that the senior member of the firm is
an old resident of the city, one of the
memorialists in connection with the
District investigation, anil had been as
much an object of persecution as Co
lumbus Alexander, upon whom the
District ring attempted to fasten col
lusion in the well known safe-burglary
robbery, excited the attention ot the
merchants, who were free in the ex
pression of the opinion that this was
another desperate effort to put obloquy
u|»on a firm that had by its integrity
helped to encourage the Congressional
investigation. The prompt action of
the detectives did not lessen the suspi
cion in the minds of the Perry Brothers,
who immediately removed their valu
able silks to New York, and announced
that they would no longer keep on
hand duplicate patterns.
The sequel of (lie robbery is a repe
tition of the safe-burglary. When

It was a third-class carriage. She
was a pleasant-faced young woman,
going, I think, for the first time after
her .marriage, to visit her parents in
her old home, to show them their two
fine grand-children. At least, this was
the little history I built up for her in
my own brain from a word or two that
I heard between her and her husband
at the' station, as he put her into the
carriage with an affectionate farewell.
I always watch with great interest the

their previous lives from the little

second volume of an interesting ros
mance, and allowed to read only one
short sceue in this, and asked to guess
as nearly as possible from this one
scene, the previous course of the story
auil the characters of the actors in it.
The youngest child was an infant of
alwut three or four months old—very
quiet and good ; the other was a pret
ty, restless little girl of three, who
could not bo still a single moment, and
kept the careful mother busy by her
questions and wants and childish prat
tle. She was not at all bashful, and
soon talked to us also iu such a natu
ral, coquettish, condescending way,
that we were quite in love with the
charming little lassie, and tagged her
mother not to check her innocent ad
vances to us. •
When we had been traveling togeth
er for two or three hours, and began
to feel quite like old acquaintances,
while the train was going at full speed,
the mother half rose from her seat to
place the girl, who had left her place,
again on the opposite seat. How it
happened, Uhave never understood; it
was one of those accidents which seem
impossible, and, in fact, only happens
once in a hundred thousand times; but
just as site stood half erect, holdiog
her sleeping babe upon oue arm and
her little frolicsome maiden somewhat
awkwardly on the other, the little girl
made one of her sudden, quick move
ments, and in an instant she was gone
from our eyes.
What a moment! The poor mother
stood fixed and rigid iu exactly tb
alighted on a pile of straw in a field,
not two feet from a stone wall!”
Then what a scene! Every man at
the train windows has his hat off in a
moment and is waving it and cheering
as if he would split his throat; every
woman is buried in her pocket-handker
chief, crying and laughing together.
The stout old egotist and the vain
young dandy have thrown their arms
around each other, and nre embracing
with that heartiness that belongs to the
sons of the Vaterland, although they
never met before this morning. The
stiff old maid in the corner has shaken
my hands in both of hers so many
times, that I feel they are quite sore.

lage come running around the train, enace sii

they ask in bewildered excitement at
the sight of ours.
But all the Kraisersand Kronprinzes
in Europe put together, could not have
aroused tho flood of feeling that surged
through that train. It was sympathy
with a sentiment far older than loyalty
—older than the kings to whom loyalty
is duo—which was stirring every heart;
it was sympathy with a mothers love !

Derivation or the .Vamen or the
Slates.
There is much that is interesting in
the study of the origin of the names of
the States of the Union, as they are
derived from a variety of sources. To
begin iu geographical order, we first
have:
Maine, which takes its name from
the province of Maine, in France, and
was so called in compliment to the
Queen of Charles I., Henrietta, its
owner.
New Hampshire—first called Laco

If Jefferson Davis is guilty of the crime

and criminal not to bring him to just
For years he lay in prison wait
ing a trial; he is yet waiting; at any

shown to the civilized world. When
you charge Jefferson Davis with the
erime of secession, remember your own
honored and now sainted Horace
Greeley, as well as other leading men
of the North, was an earnest believer
in the right of secession. In the New
York Tribune, of December 17, 1800,
Greeley says: ‘If it (theDeclaration
of Independence) justified the secession | Schneider was lodged iu jail he sent
for Rieliard Harrington, who, in the
capacity of Assistant United States
District Attorney, had caused the re
lease of Benton, of New York, the
party appreheuded for blowing open
the District Attorney’s safe, anil in
whose possession on the steps of Mr.
Alexander’s house, was found the hooks
and papers that were to destroy Alex
ander’s influence before the Congres
sional Committee. It will be remem
bered that the tail accepted for Benton
was worthless, and the prisoner has
tiever been heard from. Harrington
resigned, and a son of Judge Fisher
nominally filled his place. It was to
the son all the blame of his father’s
disgrace was attached, and the Judge
thereby forced to resign.
Yesterday, Assistant United States
Attornoy, Charles G. Fisher, sent a
note to the Clerk of the Criminal Court
to the effect that the bail in the sum
of 83,000 would be regarded in the
case of Schueider as sufficient. Bail
was accepted and the prisoner dis
charged.
The report is that young Fisher,
with the released prisoner, went to
Baltimore to dispose of the goods not
recovered by the police, of which he
was to receive a share, and was also to
receive 8900 for his services in effect-
ing the release.
Judge Fisher disclaims any knowl
edge of the transaction, as he also did
in the release of Benton through the
intervention of Harrington, and many
of the citizens of Washington who con
demn his course iu the Benton matter

she vanished. She seemed literally
suddenly turned to stone ; with the rest
of us, the case was almost the same.
How long this lasted, I do not know ;
doubtless it seemed to us much longer
than it really was. Then the young
mother seemed to come to herself, and
made a sudden movement as if she
would spring through the window af
ter her vanishing darling, now far

talk together, no one listening to the I Not My Place.—A Dispute hav-
othcr, about what was to be done for j ing lung existed in a gentleman’s fam-
her. Somehow, we managed in our tly between the mniil and the coach-
excitement to do all that was possible;! man, about fetching the cream for
from the British Empire of 3,000,000
of colonists in 1770, we do not see why
it would not justify the secession of 5,-
000,000 of Southerners from the Fed
eral Union in 1861.’ In the Tribune
of February 23, 1861, five days after
Jeflerson Davis was inaugurated at
Montgomery, Greeley used these
words: ‘We have repeatedly said,
auil wc once,more insist, that the great
principles embodied by Jefferson in the
Declaration of Independence, that gov
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed, is sacred
anil just, and that if the Gulf States
choose to form an independent nation,
they have a clear moral right to do so.’
In the Tribune, of November 9, Gree*.
Icy further says: ‘ Tho.-e who would
rush upon carnage to defy or deieat a
separation demanded by the popular
vote of the Southern people, would
clearly place themselves in the wrong.’
Soldiers of the Grand Army, remem
ber which side * rushed upon carnage
to defeat that separation’ to which the
South had a 1 clear moral right.’ Re
member there was not a day, nor even
an hour, when the South would not
gladly have made peace on the basis of
independence. And when you talk of
the horrors of Andersonville, remember
that figures tell a tale which you can
not deny; figures show the death-rate
in Northern prisons was greater than
in Southern, and this despite our pov
erty, our starvation, and destitution of
medicines. Remember what side wa3
always willing to exchange prisoners,
and which side sternly refused to ex-
change. Grant said, ' It was easier to j are disposed to sympathize with the
feed than to fight rebels.’ Some time 1 Judge, os the misfortune which has
ago, a letter appeared in the Albany | now befallen him comes like the blow
Argus, charging the Andersonville hor- which wounded the feelings of the late
rors squarely home to Grant. Gen., United States Treasurer, who was de-
Hitchcock, Butler and others, wanted
to exchange.- Grant forbade it. Grant
sent this telegraph: “ On the subject
of exchange, I differ from Gen. Hitch
cock. It is hard on our men held in
Southern prisons, but not to those left
in the ranks to fight our battles. To

Gen. Butler said this order of Grant’s
caused tho death of more than twenty
thousand, men. But more than all
else, soldiers of the North, when you
speak of Andersonville, or Libby, or
Saulsbury, or Belle Isle, you should
remember these prison places were in
the bosons of the land on which your
Government had let loose the bloody
dogB of war. These prisoners were in
the bosom of a land- fighting to defend
itself from a million of armed men.
The men who suffered in those prison
places had come to us with shot and

the guard came, the train was stopped,
and the mother, without speaking to
one of us, or even looking at us, left
the train, supporting herself on one
arm of the sympathizing guard, while
lie held the still sleeping baby fast in
the other.
Of course the train must go with in
creased speed to make up for the mo
ment of delay, so there was no chance
for us to sec more of the poor bereaved
mother. “ Telegraph to us at the next
station," said one of the railroad func
tionaries to the guard. “ Yes, yes, be
sure to do it immediately,” cried a do
zen voices; for in some mysterious
way the news of the accident had run
through the train ns if by electricity,
and a long row of sympathizing luces
watched from the carriage, the disap
pearing forms of the mother anil the
guard.
“ It will take her half an hour to
reach the spot, and it is just thirty-five
minutes now to tho station,” said the
stout gentleman in the next corner,
taking out his watch and holding it
open in his hand, his eyes fixed upon
it. He had struck me as one of the
most selfish and disagreeable old gen
tlemen possible; scarcely answering a
polite question from a neighbor; and
then, in the shortest and gruffest man
ner possible; he had seemed complete
ly absorbed by his newspaper and his
snuff-box, not having noticed the little
fairy in any way except to glance at
her now and then with a savage ex
pression, as her clear, childish laugh
had disturbed his reading. Now, his
whole soul seemed to be fixed on the
watch before him, and he “ chided the
tardy flight of time” again and again,
in words more forcible than ornamen
tal.
There was a young would-be dandy
in one corner; light, straw-colored
gloves, a slender cane, an infant mus
tache, and an eye-glass stuck in one
eye, seemed to be, in his opinion, tos
kens of vast superiority over tho other
travelers; and he spoke very little, ex
cept occasionally to make some supercili
ous remark or ask some question about
third-class traveling, apparently to pro
duce on us the impression that he wa3
a young'nobleman, or prince, perhaps,
in disguise, seeing for himself how or
dinary mortals fared. What a change
had come over him now; the eve-glass
hung dangling hither and thither; with
the kid gloves, of which he bad been so
dainty, ho grasped the dusty facing
ot the door, and was straining his gaze,
first backward, until the poor mother
was no longer to be seen, and then for-
ward to the next station, where news
was to meet us.
Now, at last we are there; the train
halts, and one of the guards runsquick-
ly into the office over which “ Tele
graph” is painted. Everybody who
can possibly get his or her bead out oi
the window on that aide, thrusts it out
There is a moment of intense suspense;
here comes the guard again with a dis

way between the ends of the train and

breakfast, the gentleman one morning
called them before him, that he might
hear what they had to say, and decide
accordingly. The maid pleaded that
tho coachman was lounging about the
kitchen the greater part of the morn
ing, and yet was so ill-natured that lie
would not fetch the cream for her,
notwithstanding he saw she had so
much to do as not to have a moment to
spare. The coachman alleged that it
was not his business.
“Very well,” said the master;
“ but pray what do you call your busi
ness ?”
“To take care of the horses, and
clean and drive the coach,” replied
lie.
You say right,” answered the
master. “ and I do not expect you to
do more than I hired you for; but
this 1 insist on, that every morning,
before breakfast, you get tho coach

er’s for milk; and I hope you will al
low that to be part of your busi
ness.”
The coachman and the maiden
soon after came to terms.—Once o

Limit Your Wants.—From the
nature of things, the income of most of
the inhabitants of the earth must be
limited, and indeed, within very nar
row bounds. The product of labor
throughout the world, if equally divi
ded, would not make the share of each
individual large. It is impossible that
every one should be what is called rich.
But it is by no means impossible to be
independent. And what is the way to
compass this—as Burns appropriately
designates it—* glorious privilege ?’
This method is very simple. It consists
in one rule: Limit your wants. Make
them few and inexpensive. To do
this, would interfere but little with
your real enjoyment. It is mostly a
matter of habit. You require more,
or are satisfied with less, just os you
have accustomed yourself to the one or
the other. Limit your wants, estimate
their cost, and never exceed it, taking
pains always to keep it inside of your
income. Thus, you will secure your
lasting independence. Young man,
think of this. A great deal of the hap-
pine ss of your life depends upon it.
After having made your money, spend
it as you choose; but be sure you
make it first.

Teach Women to Save.—There’s
the secret! A saving woman at the
head of the family is the very best
saving tank established—one receiving
deposits daily and hourly, will no costly
machinery to manage it. The idea of
saving is a very pleasant one, if they
would cultivate and adhere to it, and
thus when they are not aware of it,
would be laying the foundation of a
competent security in a stormy time
and shelter in a rainy day. The wo
man who sees to her house has a large
house to save in. The way to make
her comprehend it is to keep and ac
count of all current expenses. Prob
ably not one woman in ten has an
idea how much are the expenditures
of herself aid family. When from
one to two thousand dollars expended
annually, there is a chance to save
something if the effort is made. Let
the house-wife take the idea, act upon
it, and she will save dollars—perhaps
hundreds—were beforo she thought
it impossible. This a duty yet not
a prompting of averice, but a moral
obligation that rests upon the man
os well as the woman.
Ashamed to Swear Alone.—
Why is it that the most blasphemous
oaths are always in a crowd ? The
profane swearer would not dare to go
ipto his private chamber and utter
those horrid imprecations. No, no! he
wants them to be heard and laughed
at. It is tho greatest of cowardice to
swear in a crowd, what you would not
do in secret. ‘ I will give you 810,’
said a man to a profane swearer, ‘ if
you will go into the Village graveyard
at 12 o’clock to-night, and swear the
same oaths you have just uttered, when
you are alone with God.’ ' Agreed,’
said the man, * an easy way to get 810.’
‘ Well, come to-morrow and say you
have done it, and the money, is yours.’
The time passed on; midnight came.
The man went into the graveyard. It
was a night of great darkness. As he
entered tne graveyard, not a sound was
heard ; all was still as death. Then
came the gentleman’s words to his mind
with power: ‘ Alone with God!’ rang
in his ears. Afraid to take another
step, he fell on his knees and cried,
‘ God be merciful to me, a sinner.’

oath that this writing does not resem
