The experiment that New York
women had with Mrs. Hotve not long
ago ought to have tadght them a les
son, but it did not. Mrs. Howe run
a banking business for the ladies, paid
heavy interests on deposits, and one
day she went away with all the prin
cipal. That is what Maine. La
Touche intended to do, but she dik
not take the tour off before she had
evaded the payment of interest, and
so was arrested, The man fact brought
ot the case is that all a swindler has
to do to dupe the female public in gen
eral is to advertise enormous’ interest
on deposits in the banking business
for women; though it is an open ques
tion whether women are more
gullible thanjsnen.
Mr. George 11. TiMen nephey o
the late Samuel J. l'ilden, was in
Ne.v York this week to consult with
his counsel in relation to his uncle’s
will, which he is contesting as the
representative of a number of heirs.
By agreement between the counsel on
both sides the case will be adjourned
over '’’until Surrogate-elect Ranson
takes office. It will begin some time
in January and promises protracted
litigation. With his worldly wisdom
and legal acumen, it seems that Mr.
Tilden could not make a will that did
net invite contest.

gressional elections are again being
used by some Republican papers to
show that there is not a free ballot
£nd a fair count in tho South. If
these papers will take thp trouble to
investigate the matter, tlmy will find
that the light votes cast are owing
mainly to the death of the Republican
party in the South, The negroes are
becoming more and more indifferent to
politics, and there are not enough
white Republicans to make a respcc
i ille showing.
w Rev, Charles A. Berry, who lias been
called to Plymouth church pulpit, has
not yet decided whether he will accept
the call. A strong effort is being
made to induce him to stay where hu
is, in Wolverhampton, Eng., and he
is said to he much perplexed as to
his decision. When Mr. Berry came
to this country to preach on trial in
Plymouth church, he probably thought
lie would like to take Mr. Beecher’s
place, but perhaps bis decision is oc
casioned by the conviction that it is
not easy place to fill,
One of the gieatest outrages upon
justice by a jury occurred at Siox
City. lowa, the other day One of the
assassins of Rev. Mr. Haddock, an ac
tive prohibitionist was tried and ac
quitted. The proof ot his guilt was
overwhelming, and the western press
and the people of that section regard
the verdict as an outrage upon Siox
City.

It is sai l that Mr. Randall is care
fully preparing a scheme of tariff re
vision and revenue reduction. The
announcement that ho is carefully pre
paring it is’ very gratifying. 'lf he
will piepare it on the lines marked
out by the President in his message
it will stand some chanca of proving
acceptable to the Democratic party.
By a vote of ninety to one tlie leg
islatin' of Virginia instructs the Sen

Lee and Jackson.
The Last Interview of Those Two
Great Ceneralr.
From the Snnny South.]
The day before Jackson’s column
started on the great movement against
the right ot Ilooker,s army, at
(Jhanediorsville, Genetai Lee invited
Col. T. M. R. Talcott of the engi
neers, to come jo his quarters And to
be present at an interview which he
had arranged to have with Ganeui!
Jacks: a that evening.
At the appointed hour Col. Talcott
to General hee ami was politely re
quested to he seated, General Lee
remarked: “I am expecting General
Jackson, and I sent for you that you
might hear what passed between us.”
General Lee was seated at a table
upon winch was spread a map of the
field of operations. He piad no at
tention t, > the Colonel, who mas the
only oth r person present, but intently
studied tic map. With his finger lie
located point a'ter point and carctnily
traced the roads aud streams. The
Colonel silently and vvopdei fully
waited.
Suddenly the msssive figure of
Jackson parted the tent and he stood
inside. Then there were three present
Two two act and one to record.
Jackson saluted and uttered the
signal work “General!”
General Lee, intent upon the prob
lem of the map, did not appear to no
tice the arrival of his great “right
arm,” until ha heard his voice. When
Jackson spoke General Lee latsed his
eyes from the map and looking intent
ly ot Jackson, without a salute or
even a “good evening,” commenced
talking with great energy and rapidi
ty: •‘General Jackson, 1 have sent
for you in order that 1 might have the
benefit of your advice and assistance.
You are f’amilliar with the present
state of affairs and I want your opin
ion as to what is the best that can be
done under the present circumstances.’
General Jackson straightened him
self and replied: “I have no sugges
tions to make, sir.”
This reply seemed to excite, almost
to annoy General Lee, and at once
insisted that Jackson should express
some opinion. As ir to enconrge him,
he again went over the situation, trac
ed the roads with n s finger, ‘located
his own troops and those of the enemy
enlarged on i he great danger menacing
his army, told Jackson he had sent
for him especially to have his views,
and then looking wistfully at him
paused for his reply. Again Jackson
rose to his tuli height and again he
said, quitely ami firmly: “I have m.
suggestions to make, sir!”
Gen Lee then rapidly stated his
determination to attack, and tracing
the route an i the points on the map
with his finger, laid before Jackson
every detail of the movement. As ho
rapidly disclosed the plan his voice
and countenance expressed enormous
energy and suppressed enthusiasm.
vvJkckson, still standing, ‘■absorbed
every word, and as tho plan was de
veloped bef ire him, by the man he
was ‘‘willing to follow blindfolded,”
seemed transfigured. x\s Gen. Lee
proceeded he became more and more
erect; his face flashed, his eyes fairly
glittered with excitement.
General Lee then turned quitely to
the Colonel of Engineers and said
“Colonel Talcott, you will please ride
with General Jackson in the morning
and conduct his column past my left.”
“Very well sir,” icplied t’e 'Colonel,
ami then, saluting, lie departed *and
L‘e was alone with the awful respon
sibility. Who could paint that soli
tude of that great heart when this
great deed was done; aud who would
not rather be Jackson riding in a
storm of wild hurrahs to quick death
and glorious victory, than Lee the
calm burdenbearer and hero of respon
sibility, who bravely said, “It is all
my fault,” and died.
Cbancellorsville, the most daring
ami sncceosfnl battle, considering the
odds, ever fought on this continent,
was planned and ordered by the man
whom critics said, be “wat* cautions
and slow.” Let this
them.
Our Washington Letter,
o
From our regular correspondent.]
Washington D. C., Pec. 12, 1887
Practically nothing has been done
in Congress this week. Sessions were
held only three days, and nothing was
transacted except to elect officers and
receive the Message. Nothing can
be done until the appointment'of the
committees. The Senate caucus has
been troubled all the week in arrang
ing the committees. The chairman
ship of all ot them mavhc said to
have been definitely settled upon by
the middle of the past week, but the
personnel was not until Saturday. In
many instances Senators positively
decline to serve on the committees to
which they were assigned. They all
have their preferences, and each has a
good reason for asking to be put on
a certain committee. The committee
on Claims especially seemed to be
shunned the most. The hiljs referred i
to that committee are not only nu
merous but each requites much time
in its investigation, and the Senators
are pestered beyond endurance.
bv the numerous persons interested in;
each claim.
It is al«o thought that changes are
directed against the power ot Mr.
Randall chairman of the committee j
on app : epilations, fcome of the Mem-l
bersare very violent in their denun
ciation .J the l’< u sylvauia pro
tectionist, and want him deprived ol
Ins favorite chaiimanship, but the ma
jority of them are willing and really
prefer that he be permitted to retain
that position, if only shorn of some o!
liis power.
The White House has received its
share of callers and the congratula
tions to the President have been many
by the Democratic Representatives in
Congress assembled. It is known
that the President has readied many
assurances of hearty support from po
tent public men lor his lommiination,
I’lie Republicans concede that Cleve
land /.iil he the next nominee and
that they must work actively liom
this tiiu ?on if they are to expect to
defeat him.
The past week the National Republi
can Committee held their meeting and
alter several days session, during
which fhe political situation was dis
cussed in all its phases, decided to
again hold the Nominating conven
tion in Chicago. After the adjourn
ment the conviction among lx th He
publicans and Democrats seemed to
lie that Biaine would Le the nominee.
His iriendson the Committee, without
exception all favored Chicago. The
Democrats are satisfied and say that
they would rather have Blaiue for
Cleveland to run against than any
titbar man. Speaking of Blaine and
Cleveland reminds me that on la► t
Saturday “Rum, Romanism and Re
bellion,” Btirchard called on the
President. His Excellency grasped
him heartily by the hand and with
emphasis said: “I am very glad to
see yon M.i. Burchard,” which caused
a hearty laugh throughout the large
assembly present. The Reverend
gentleman is here attending the Evan
gieal Christian Alliance Convention
which lias been in session here for the
past week. The.ie are as many as 2,-
000 strangers from all pans of the
c m.itry attending the Convention and
the crowds at the several sessions were
so large that overflow meetings had
to be held in adjacent churches. Such
a convention of Christian people was
never beheld in this country before
and judging from the feelings mani
fested at the sessions, there will be
a greater harmony in thought and
concert of action among the Christain
organizations of all denominations to
work for the accomplishment of one
common end than has ever been known
in the history of any country. H.
The average price o.f corn this year
is about twenty per cent over that of
last year.
Intellectual Improvement.
“The habit of regular reading, if
only for fifteen minutes each day,
should be steadily cultivated through
out life. Besides the leading jour
nals of bis tiade, which no carnage
mechanic can afford ttn. disregard in
these days, daily
paper should be read', and sfflne stand
ard .work on science, history, or bi
ography sliou'd be kept on hand for
ceuvienent opportunities; while an ac
casion tl light novel, when the mind 1
is t> weary for more solid food, will
cert iinly do no harm, We also reejj
ommencl the Scientific American jm
an instructive weekly secord
gre-s in all arts and sciences, which
will be found stimulating to the active i
mind and broadening in its influence, j
The constant study of that journal i I
