I’ve hen to see the gals lots of times.” “lhataint what 1 mean,” said the sail* or. But « hit about going to see the girls ? Can you give me au account of your adven tur»s ? J “Well,” replied Jim, “I never make a practice of telling such things. Taint a gt-od plan. But I had a little larkin’ scrape jafAsjaxinifc and we live away, ujUibT agree to keep mum I’ll tell you about it.” “I will keep perfectly dark,” said the tar, who was beginning tu feel interested ; “go on with your story.” “It does make me feel kinder ugly when 1 think on’t, I’ll be hanged if it don’t, but it’s all over now. You see Suke Baker and I used to take a great shine to one another. Suke was one of your right down, smart, welMooking and good-behaving girls. She appreciated me, and I appreciated her, and we never should had no trouble if it hadn’t been ior the old man. He was a darned old-snake- in-the grass, and made us more troubie than all the rest of the fam ily. Suke and I never enjoyed ourselves, lor he was always sneakin round and thro’n out hints, and making himself as hateful as he w’as homely. I got si«k on’t and so did Suke. I suppose the old scamp didn’t want me there- I don’t know what else to make of it, lor he told me more than twen-. ty times to leave and not come again. “Suke’s room was in the end of the chams her, and I told her ono time to leave her window up, and Id come in and we’d have a bit of a visit. 1 knew she wouldn’t hes itate to do it for I am honest and very spect ful in my behavior. Well, after the lolks were all in bed, and the house w’as still, I goes and gets a ladder puts it up to the window. I then pulled off my boots and crawled up. Suke met me at the window, and a tiekelder couple you never saw than we was but just as 1 wots trying to clamber in the confounded ladder siid, and down it went thunder to lick, making noise enough to wake up the whole town. It hit one of the lower winders, and knocked it all to smash. I just caught by the tip ends of my fingers on the window sill. Suke see ing me falling, made a grab tor me, and got me by the hair of the head and ’tween us both usl made out to stay, but I thought ’twould been as well if hadn’t been there, for 1 could neither get in or out. “Old Baker heard the racket, and out he came in his shirt, to see what was to pay. l?i% ’GIG* went and got a fish-pole and began to welt my limbs in real earnest. I tell you, Bill I was in very barisin situation. There I was, ’spended by the hair—suke did the most of the hanging on—and old Baker as mad as a hoe, jist wallopin’ me down with a hickory fish-pole. What was to be did. If Suke and I should let go, I should fall, perhaps break my neck. If Suke and I hung on, he would lick me to giblets with his infernal fish-pole. I was never so uns pleasantly situated in all my life. I would gin 2 shillings for lightning enough to strike the old whelp dead. But all the lightning I seen was in my eye. I tell ye, Bill, there was some there, or something else, for I could see stars of all kinds and colors, just as thick as plasters. But thinks I, I can’t stand this, by-a jug full, so I took and let go. Suke hung on like a beaver, and saved most half my hair, but down I went. Old Baker wan’t spectin’ me quite so soon, and I hit him on the head and knocked him stiff. I got up and went home, but I felt purty grouty, I tell you.” PERSONAL. J. E.

A Chicago divine said in a sermon last Sunday: “Yonder, on the crag, amid the storms of the mountains, the eagle hangs her nest. She craves for her off spring the elements of royalty and power, and takes turns with the thunder in singing them to sleep, and with the lightning in watching their repose. She tears up her nest, and leaves them to cling to the crags. When they flutter and fall, she swoops un der them and bears them up, repeating the process until, matured in the struggle, they can mount above the ‘ storms. So God trfeats us.” POLITICAL. Senator Chandler directs attention to tbe slight inconsistency involved in franking petitions for the abolition ot franking. Revels is to supercede Dent as “Master of the Revels” in “the Lord of Misrule’s palace. Alcorn, the Senfttorial nubbin freni Mis sissippi, is out with his 789,864 th letter on the situation. Chandler, the Michigander, it is reported, has said a “good thing” but the report can not be traced to any authentic source. Sambo tired those one hundred guns in Richmoud over the admission of Vitgiuia. More carpet bag practice at long range.

Senators Alcorn and Revel are already here. They were on the floor of the Sen ate to.,day, and the latter was cordially re ceived by the Republicans, but tho Demo crats gave him a wide berth there. Some person having requested Senator Hamlin to frank some letters for them, he received the missives, placed three cent stamps on each, and returned them to the writers. It is rumored that Hon. AY. L. Sharkey will he tendered the appointment of Chief Justice of the High Court of Mississipi aud Hon. J. W. 0. Watson the appoint ment for the Northern District as Asso ciate. Facts for Ycung Men who Want “Sit uations.”—A Louisiana baper states that on the Rogers place, three miles from Obe li usas, a while man and a boy made last year eighteen bales of cotton ; two white men and and two boys made thirty-five bales : and one man and a bov made sixteen bales. All the hands on the [dace are white, eight in number, and all the domestic work’ cooking, washing, milking and housework is performed by white persons. The total product of the labor of the eight hands, two of them boys, was sixty-niae bales of cotton, worth $7762. The proportion to each hand who came to Bastrop, from Mississippi, early in 1869, and settled on the Hemphill place, near Bastrop, raised on thirty-one acres of leased laud, twenty-one of which he put in cotton and ten in corn, fourteen bales of cotton and two hundred bushels of corn. This crop would be worth SI6OO. lie had no help, and the whole crop is the product of his own labor. The Franklin (La.) Banner says: Most all of the agricultural labor of Belle vue is done by white people. This section of the parish is south of Opelousas. There are six f umilies from Mississippi, three from Kentucky aud three from Arkansan, culti vating small places here. They are a hard working people, and will succeed. Most of them eat breakfast by candle light, on the north Alabama plan, and rush business during the day. In cotton picking they take their dinners in the field. They praon tice rigid ec jnemy. Even some of the white women pck cotton. A white boy, fourteen years old, picked three hundred ponnds of cotton in a day, when they were paying hands one dollar a hundred, and boarded. In some places in the parish hands could n it be obtained to pick all the crop, and and there wes considerable loss. A Word to Women. —Very tew' aldies know how to appreciate au easy, healthful dress. They think their dresses are loose, when a man or boy but into as tight, would gasp for breath, and fell incapable of put tine forth any effort except to break the bands. Ladies are so accustomed to the tight fits ot dressmakers, that they “fall all to pieces” when relieved of them. They associate the loose dress with the bed or lounge. To be up, they must be stayed up, and to recommend a comfortsble dress to them is not to meet a conscious want of theirs. It a great pity none the less. If they could once known what a luxury it is to breathe deep and full at each respiration, to feel the refreshment which the system takes on by having the blood enlivened and sent bounding through the arteries and veins, to have the aids to digestion which such process give, to have their own strong elastic muscles keep every organ in place and themselves erect, it they could for g >od while know this blessed luxury, and then bo sent back into the old, stiff, straight jacket, they would fume, and fret and rave in every desperation it they could not get rid of them. As it is they prefer to lan guish and suffer dreadfully, and die young, and leave all their friends, and their hus bands and their little children, and I do not see any other way but to let them be sick and die till they are satisfied. If only the sinner was the sufferer it would be not worth while to make a geat ado about it, but the blighting of future inoceut lives which must follow renders the false habits of onr women in the hignest degree crirn* inal. —Laws of Life. An Assassin Killed.— The Mariana (Fla.) Courier, of the 27th January, says: Calvin Rogers, the midnight assassin, who murdered Miss Maggie MoClehlan on the night of the first of October last, was arrest ed at the residence of Andrew Watson, (colored,) last night, and in attempting to break araest was killed by the contsable and posse. Where the Brains Come From.— The Boston Post says: Mr. Spofford, the Con gressional Librarian, is ihe man who makes nearly all the principal speeches in Con gress. FROM CUBA. New York., February 4.—Details of the i t\ portent battle of Muna I) Juan gues. between Geoß. Jordan and Puello, on New Fear’s day, are received. Accord ing to the intelligence gathered, purely from American ami Spanish sources, the victory of the Cubans whs complete and decisive. The main battle was fought at the point alove named, one of the approach" es to Guarymore, the Cuban seat of Governs ment. It lasted all day, and ended with the retreat of l’uello, after a total loss of 1, 200 to 1,600 men killed, wounded and pris oners. The Cubans pursued and harrassed the flying columns of the enemy until the latter reached Arroyo Honda, where Fuels lo entreuohed himself and stood a seige of of fifteen davs, suffering great privations, kuuug uu.se* uua tor fuod approach of the Spanish columns, under ben.Goyenche, induced the Cubans to raiso the seige, and lhiello escaped with the reins nant of his army to the small seaport o( Ba/.a, where Spanish vessels removed it to Nuevitas. A postscript adds a rumor that luello has been seized by the euraged Spanish volunteers in Nuevitas and is a captive in their hands. llav ana, Feb 3, via Kev V est, Feb. 4. Advices from Santiago to Jan, 24th have been received. Ten leagues faom that city the insurgents captured a convoy with pro* visions and ammunition. Several tights have been reported within that jurisdiction, and the insurgents had captured garrisons on two estate#* A steamer recently landed arms and ammunition on the north coast- Advices from Nassau, dated Jan. 30th, state that Geu. Golcouria, with thirty-five men and two hundred rifles, reoeutly left there in a schooner, and is bJieved to have landed in Cuba Yaspar Aguerro left Nassau on the 19ih, on a lighter, with nine uieo. It was heard of on the 24th, near the Cuban coast, and prepared to land that night. The New York Times of Tuesday contains this paragraph: “Mrs. A., makes vests at eighteen cents apiece for a wholesale houso. She can eorn $8 a month by workiug fourteen hours a day, including Sundays. She pays $1 a month for her attic, and has two small children to support. She has eaten meat once only—and then it was given to her sinoe Thanksgiving Another case Kate A., “finisher” of fine shirts, makes about S2 a week, working hard for it. She has a grandmother to support, and has often lived for weeks on bread and water in order to afford the old woman a little broth every day. The Star, which is enabled to de scribe these from the diary of a lady who lias visited them, gives etill a more painful instance of the hardships caused by scarci-* ty of employment or inadequate wages.” And yet there was not a slave woman \r meat daily, and who was not lodged and clothed comfortably. Slavery is dead ; but philanthropist, who came to war against the institution lived amongst such har* rowing scenes as those described by the New York paper. We would not reestab-. lish slavery if we could; but we may feel some consolation when we remember that the pious philanthropist who sought to set free and thus bring misery upon the objects of sympathy in the South, may still find occupation in giving relief to the pale and heartbroken women of their own race who in the dense Northern communities, “Stitch, stitch, stitch, In poverty, hunger and dirt.” [Richmond Dispatch .] S'SeT* Extract from a speech made on Thursday, by Mr. Kimmel, a member of the Senate of Maryland : “Dixie’s far away,” but her history will present for a thousand years to come—not only in the heroic sacrifices of her people m ide for liberty in the earlier days, but in their later struggle for pr nciples lying at the foundation of free government—prin ciples recognized in Magna Charta itself— will their history be transmitted to poster ity as the history of Carthage is. Their fight was freedom’s fight; and the time may come when the same men, animated bv the same heroic spirit* may be called upon to staud around a Senate sent bv Southern States, which shall arrest the mad destruction that is now subverting the Gov ernment. When all these amendments to the Constitution, which have been forced upon unwilling States by terror and fraud, shall have been swept away, it is there again among that people that we are to re light the fire* that lighted our fathers thruugo the Devolution.
