The Hale not Told.—Ben. C. Truman, one
ol the traveling correspondents of the New
York Times, and who, some time ago, was sent
by Government to quiet the feuds at Jackson
ville, wi itesrt rom Beaufort, S. C., in the Times,
of the 23(1. lie says that Beaufort eonlaius
from lifted! hundred to l.wo-JJion sand white
people, “almost all of whom are genuine Van
kees —all rich, too —thunks to the late of war
and the existence of direct tax commissioners.
After some preliminary remarks upon the na
ture and disposition of these people, he goes on
to say:
I tell the renders of the Times that Gens.
Steadman and Fullerton have not tohPlmlf.
These colored people have Been swindled he
yond all consideration ; and If the Freedman's
Bureau Bill now before the House becomes a
law, God help the colored .men of the South,
sa y I.
'l'he most distinguished and most successful
of all these negro robbers is a former chaplain,
known as Father French, who has in the past,
lour years accumulated a quarter of a million
dollars in cash and real estate. Even the Nor
them people here, to a man, pronounce Father
French the Tycoon of all the robbers, lie had
Gen. Suxtou completely under his control, and
got him into hail repute. He was ordered away
from the auction sales by the Direct Tax Com
missioners, hnt managed to Imy all the properly
lie hid on, which was considerable.
Gen. Saxton is a li ightliil fanatic, and while n
Commissioner ol Freedmen did a world of
harm. But the accounts of Gen. Saxton swind
ling the negroes are strictly untrue, us are also
the reports of his being mixed up in the direct
tax sales greatly exaggerated. Thu only case
in the latter charge that can ho substantiated Is
the fact that through his iufluenee lie became
possessed of the most palatial mansion in
Beaufort for n mere song. I have met several
of the warmest friends of General Saxton here,
who scout the idea of his ever personally being
connected with any negro swindling operations,
who say that Ills purchase of the house above
alluded to was a baud. If it had been bid in
fairly, and the commissioners inform me this,
it would have brought ten thousand dollars. As
it was, Gen. Saxton got it for two thousand, as
there was no competition—the entire commu
nity agreeing that he should have the property.
Father French’s operations extend lrom here
to Charleston, both in the purchase of real es
tate and in running plantations. His modus op
erands ill the pnrthaso of land was as follows :
Thousands ol acres of fine lands were laid oil
and called soldiers’ tracts, to be sold to soldiers
at certain low prices. Father French would
buy m these lots, ostensibly for the Soldiers,
the latler being present at the sales ; but in al
most all cases the ceatificotes ultimately found
their way into Father French’s pockets. But
his negro swindling operations beat every
thing. He is the biggest planter South Caro
lina ever had. He is ru-ning thousands of ne
groes, and running th m into debt and into
their grates. They are all in debt to him, on
account of his lofty charges for meal and At
tleborough jewelry. For certain reasons 1 will
not give this bad man, at this time, the full ex
tent of my knowledge of his operations in
South Carolina. He has been sent, for from
Washington ; but it is the common expression
here that he will pull the wool over the eyes of
the authorities there.
Anecdote of Antoinette Brown.— While
Antoinette Brown was studying theology, Prof.
Morgan, who improved every opportunity to
persuade tier that, there Whs more congenial as
well as more effective and scriptunl employ
ment for a young lady than preaching, once
Cftve her this subject lor a dissertation : “ It. is
n shame for women to speak in tlie church.
(I Cor. 14: 85.) Antoinette read an essay ol
lull! an hour’s length, learnedly discussing the
Greek word taletn there used, quoting the
classics, and proving to her own satisfaction
that it is one ol those words in which the
sound resembles the sense, like rattle, ring,
<fec., and that it ought to be translated babble.
Prof. Morgan heard her patiently to the end,
and then smiling archly, asked, *• Is it not rath
er a poor compliment to the sex ? ‘ Let .tlic
women hold their tongues ; for it is a shame
for them to be babbling in the church.’ But,”
he continued, “ let us look a litlle at the New
Testament usage of this word.” So turning to
John ti: 63, he read as follows: “The words
that I babble to you, they are spirit, and they
are life also John 7: 46 : “ Never man bab
bled like this man and 2 Peter 1 : 21: “ Holy
men of God babbled as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost,” and many other passages. Poor
Antoinette blushed scarlet, for she was possess
ed of much maidenly modesty and beauty; but,
convinced against her will, concluded to let
that passage stand as one in which she and St.
Paul differed.
Live Birds and Mice in Mail Bags. —This
morning when W. Reed, chief clerk in the pos-t
office, emptied the mail bag for this city lrom
Philadelphia, Pa., out flew a small young bird
of the sap-sucker species, scarcely old enough
to fly. After some little trouble the bird was
secured, and oil examination it was iound that
the only damage it received from its incarcera
tion in the United States mail bog from Phila
delphia to this city, was a small bruise on one
of its wings. It seemed to he a little stupid
lrom its long last. How it could escaped death
when enclosed among the mail matter, of which
the hag was filled, is marvellous; and how it
came in the sack is equally a mystery. Yester
day morning a mail hag from the same city,
when opened, out jumped a little mouse,
healthy and sound, which soon took up quar

with the change. We will soon expect to hear
of some of the clerks in the Philadelphia post
office coining through the same way.
Mr. Reed designs taking the greatest care of
his little sap-sucker. — Zanesville Courier.
Don’t be a Loafer.— Young man, pay at

a loafer ; don’t keep a loafer’s company ; don’t
hang about loafling places. Better work than
sit around day after day, or stand about corners
with your hands iu your pockets. Better for
your own health —belter for your own pros
pects. Bustle about, if you mean to have any
thing to bustle about for. Many a poor physi

with a red tape, carried under a lawyer’s arm,

The Minority .Report on the Case of Mr
Davis.
On Saturday, Mr. Rodgers, of New Jersey,
from the minority' of the Judiciary Committee
of the House of Representatives, made a re
port on the case of Jefferson Davis. The
Washington Herald says :
The report declares the cliargb of complicity
made against Mr. Davis not only absurd, but
the mere work of malice and avarice, and
claims that the testimony adduced was a chain
of flimsy fabrications. And these assertions
Mr. Rogers bases upon the testimony of the
accomplices Conover and Montgomery. Mr.
Rogers believes that the exposition of this plot
so invalidates any testimony coming through
the hands of Mr. Holt that it renders all belief
iu the charges against Davis, Clay, Tucker et.
al. impossible.
The nature of this testimony is best shown
by extracts therefrom.
“ Mayß, 1865.—Campbell’s testimony.—The
testimony of this witness, taken by Judge
Holt, was read to him in the committee room,
and he was asked if it was true, and he replied
uo, it is ail false.
“ Why did you make it ?
“ I was informed by Mr. Conover that Judge
Holt had offered a reward ot SIOO,OOO for the
capture of Jefferson Davis: that lie. hail no
authority really to do it ; that now thitJeffer
son Davis was taken they had not enough
against him to justify them in what they had
iloue ; that Judge Holt wanted to get witnesses
"Id prove"tr,tit Davis was interested in the assas
sination of President Lincoln, so as to justify
him in paying the $100,000.”
Speaking of the woman that had testified iu
Holt’s office to corroborate Conover, Campbell
says at this examination : Sarah Douglass ia
not her real name. Her name was Dunham.
There was another woman sworn. Her name
given was assumed. One was Conover’s wife
and the other his sister-in-law. The one that
called heasclf Mrs. Dunham is Conover’s wife.
Conover’s name is Charles Dunham. Conover
told me that if I engaged in it it was not going
to hurt anybody, that Jeff. Davis would never he
brought to trial, and that if this evidence got to
him lie would leave the country. Conover di
rected me to assume the name of Campbell.
There was a person described by that name
who was supposed to be Implicated in that
affair, and J was representing that party. He
met Conover, in the first place, by the appoint
ment of Snevel. Bnevel said I could make
money out of U. Money was »uy motive, f
received SIOO from Conover anil SSOO from
Judge Holt. I got $l5O at Boston and SIOO at
St. Albans. I went to Canada to hunt up a wit
ness to swear false, who was to represent La
mar. Bilevel and Conover together arranged
With me to go to Canada. Bnevel saw the writ
ten evidence 1 was to swear to after Conover
wrote it. ,
May 24, IB6o.—Joseph Snevel sworn; hi*
right name is William 11. Roberts. Ilis depo
sition before Holt read to him, aud sighed Jo
seph Bnevel, lie stated, was false from begin
ning to end, Conover wrote out the evidence,
and 1 learned it by heart. 1 mode it to make
money. I received $375 from Holt, and SIOO
from Conover. I told Conover that 1 was com
ing on here t*> testify to the truth ; that X had
not had any rest since I swore to what 1 did.
lie said I would be ill a worse fix than I was
now. This was on last. Saturday. He said
things would he settled and there would he no
further trouble. When the false evidence I
was to swear to was read over to me by Cono
ver, Campbell and Conover’s brother-in-law
(Mr. Ansen) were present. Conoverftold me
lie knew what Holt would ask me,and Conover
asked me the same questions. 1 gave this uvf
deuee before Holt. When I was wrong Cono
ver would nod his head. Conover was present
when I was sworn by Holt. When Conover
would nod, I would then correct, it ns uear as I
could, Campbell, Conover and Holt present.
Campbell and I rehearsed at, the hotel in Wash
ington. Conover said “ I was asked if such a
sum would be satisfactory S' 1 said it would.
I can’t tell how much 1 received. Conover wu*
an agent of the Government to hunt up evi
dence.”
Conover has escaped, as already stated. Mr.
Rogers was kept from seeing the evidence in
possession of the committee, for selection and
arrangement, till 12 o’clock on Friday, the
House adjourning on Saturday.
Mr. Rogers elij .es liis report by urging the,
tspetaltr trial of A l ! e. I! tv is, ailj agiocs with the
majority of the committee in seeing no need of
additional legislation to try Davis lor anything,
unless it lie the design to try him by ex post
facto ads of Congress.
The Report op the Radical Judiciary
Committee. We publish elsewhere in our
columns a summary of the report, of tlie Judi
ciary Committee. The New York World says :
Tlie Radical calumniators of human nature are
letting themselves down gradually. Secretary
Blanton was the person who originally charged
Jefferson Davis with complicity in the assassi
nation of President Lincoln. lie was shrewd
enougd to avoid tlie trouble of suborning ovi
donee to make nut a ease, and to rid hitnsel! of
its odium, by passing over the whole business
to tlie House of Representatives, which set its
Judiciary Committee to limiting up mares’
nests, instead of securing to Mr. Davis Hit*
prompt trial by a jury of his peers which is liis
right were lie thrice guilty of lhat infamy.
The committee, finding no evidence which
would for a moment stand tlie daylight of a
court, of law, now make a report, at the tail end
of a session, boldly charging Mr. Davis with tlie
crime of treason, and insinuating his guilt of
complicity in the assassination, or rather insin
uating tlieir hope and expectation of finding
evidence of that complicity in the vast mass of
“ rebel arcliieves, only a portion of which has
yt t been explained.”
Tlie Judiciary Committee is fast constituting
itself for a fit companionship with the Secretary
who ordered Mr. Davis to be shackled and de
prived ot sleep. It looks now as if they might
reasonably hope to wear his life out in prison
before being compelled to retract the charges, a
responsibility for which they share, or to resort
to tlie assistance of Judge Underwood, who,
when the Reconstruction Committee asked him
if he could pack a jury iu Virginia to convict
Mr. Davis, replied that it would be very diffi
cult, but it could lie done. / could pack a jury
to convict him.' 1—

Sale of Southern Railroads and Rail
road Stock. —lt appears from a statement
made by the War Department relative to sale ot
railroads and railroads stocks in Southern
States by the Quartermaster General, that the
amount of such sales for cash was $3,403,412 22,
and for credit $7,418,962 30. General McCul
lnm says: “ The greater portion of this pro
perty had been on hand and in use a long time,
and though the prices obtained were below the
cost, with some exceptions, they are believed
to be very favorable to the Government.” The
sales on credit were better than those for cash.
In order to secure tlie payment for sales on
credit, companies purchasing were required to
give bond in double the amount of property
transferred to them. These bondsnreall on file
in the War Department. They give Govern
ment a lien upon the property, and require
prompt payment of ail instalments of purchase
money. A great number of the companies have
railed to comply strictly with the terms of their
bonds, but owing to the prostrate condition of
the roads and the expense ol repairing them, it
is believed they are actually unable to meet
their obligations. It is thought that an attempt
to enforce immediate payment would arrest the
operations of the mads and deleat the very pur
pose had in view in making credit sales. Tile
roads all manifest a willingness to meet tlieir
engagements, and a large proportion of tlie
payments already made have been in cash. All
moneys accruing to their credit for transporta
tion of troops, supplies and the mails are stop
ped against tlictu and applied in liquidation of
their indebtedness, apd it is confidently believed
that iuthis manner the whole amoupt will ulti
mately be secured.
Tub Women at Saratoga Bettinq on
Horse Races. —Tlie Saratoga correspondent of
the New York World says :
It is marvellous to see how easy the dear
creatures can learn to “ talk horse.” They in
dulge rather more loosely than men in admi
ring adjectives in describing their favorite
beasts. It is currently reported that when
sporting men were unking up their pools on
Saturday, a private meeting of the “ sporting ”
women was also held in a corner of one of the
hotel parlors, at which several pools were
made up, ol which Hie lollowing is said to boa
sample:
1. Choice, Onward—Firit pool, set of dia
monds; second pool, India shawl ; third pool,
a sowing machine.
2. Choice, Knighthood—First pool, Iloniton
lace collar and undersleeves ; second pool,
white satin dress ; third pool, morning robe.
3. Choice, Julius—First pool, a “ Gipsy
Queen;” second pool, “complete suit for ba

4. Choice, Millcreek—First pool, ebeinise
button; second pool, three pounds of tea;
third pool, paper of pins.
fcTHE Best Yet.— The Ainenia, (N. Y.) Times
tells the best story yet concerning recent freaks
ot the lightning:
A person, whose name it % did not learn, was
sitting m an open shop door, when, apparently,
two flashes met directly over his head, and
passed down his body nearly stripping him of
his clothes, and threw his shoes some feet in
the air. Strange to say he was not killed, hut
only received slight damage.
A printer pot long since, having been “flung”
by his sweetheart, went to the office to commit
suicide with the “ shooting-stick.” The thing
wonld’nt go off. The “ devi),” wishing to pa
cify him, told him to go into the sanctum,
where the editor was writing duns to delin
quent subscribers. lie says that picture of des
pair reconciled him to his fate.
Douglas in a Difficult Role.
J. Madison Cutts has written, and had pub
lished iu book form, *• a brief treatise upon
constitutional aud party questions and the hia"
lory of political parties,” as he received itfroin
the late Senator Stephen A. Douglas. It is
from the publishing house of Appleton & Co.
The author describes the following seene at
Chicago, which Is characteristic of the late dis
tinguished Senator. The report is given as re
lated by Mr. Douglas himself:
When I returned to Chicago 1 was met at
Buffalo by a friend, who" brought letters from
other friends at Chicago, protesting against my
return, and warning me that I would he inev
itably killed if I did. I insisted upon going,
and did so. I arrived there In the morning,
went to my hotel, aud after a few days, three
or four, issued a notice of a speech to be made
by me in front ol North Market Hall. All the
newspapers iu the city denounced me, aud
published daily articles encouraging personal
violence, reminding the people that in 1850. on
the passage of the Compromise Measures, I had
returned and succeeded iu quelling an outbreak
against those measures,and that this tiling could
not he done a second time. Know-Notliiugiam
had, pending the Nohraska bill, been organized
in the United States for the first time, aud in
uilfpaco me bad
into Know-Nothing lodges, aud probably in
cluded within those lodges nine-tenths of all
the men in the city. It was ascertained that
they secretly determined and bound themselves
by their oaths not to alllow me to speak ; - and
it is known that one of these thirty or forty
lodges ordered by telegraph, and received by ex
expressed from New York, the night before I
was to speak, two hundred anti fifty of Coil’s
revolvers.
When the day arrived the flags were hung
at has-mast on the shipping in the harbor, and
lor several hours before the time appointed all
the church bells in the city were tolled, at
wbice signal the mob assembled in a force of
about ten thousand. I had forty or fifty men
who pretended to be with me privately but not
half a dozen were so openly; they were all
afraid. At the appointed hour I repaired to
the meeting and went upon the stand and was
greeted by that unearthly yell taught and prac
ticed in the Kuow-NotbingLodges—a howl no
man can imitate, f stood and looked at the
mob until the howling ceased. When they
ceased I commenced by saying, that “I appear
before you to-night for the purpose of vindica
ting the Kansos-Nebraska Act.” Before the
sentence was ended the howl began again.
When it ceased I would begin, and as soon as
I commenced it was renewed. At times I ap
pealed to their pride, as the champions ot free
speech, for a hearing ; the howling was renew
ed ;at other times 1 would denounce them as
a set of cowards who came armed with bowie
kuives and pistols to put down one man un
armed-afraid to hear the truth spokeu, lest
there might he some honest men among them
who would be convinced.
• At one time I got a hearing for ten or fifteen
minutes, and was evidently making an impres
sion upon the crowd, when there marched in
from tlie outside a body of three or four hun
dred men witli red shirts, dressed ns sailors,
and thoroughly armed, who moved through the
crowd immediately iu front, aud peremptorily
ordered me to leave. 1 stood and looked at
them until they ceased yelling, and then de
nounced them at defiance, and dared them to
shoot at an unarmed man. The pistols began
to Are all around the outside of tlie crowd, evi
dently into the air: eggs and stones were
thrown at the stand, several of them hitting
men who were near me, aud for several hours
this wild confusion and fury continued. The
wonder is, that amid that vast excited crowd
no oue was so fur excited or maddened as to
fire a hall at me. The stand was crowded with
my nnnnies, reporters aud newspaper men, and
this w'ns undoubtedly my best protection. I
stood upon tlie front of tlie stand, iu tlie midst
of that confusion, from eight o’clock in tin*
evening until quarter pasttwclveut night, when
I sudeciily drew my wateli frqpi my pocket,
looked at it in front of the crowd, and in a dis
tinct tone of voice- said, at an interval of si
lence : “It is now Sunday morning—l’ll go
to church aud yon may go to hell!" and 1 re
tired amid tlie uproar, got into my carriage
and rode to my hotel. Tlie crowd followed
the carriage, and came uear throwing it off the
bring.'- Into -Mie- river n wc ctoast <t< they gad
seized It for that purpusc, and tiffed it but. flu
driver whipped lfis horses violently, and duall
ed through and over them, and went to the
Tremont House, where I retired to my room.
The mob,at least s,ooo,followed and commenced,
tlieir howls in Lake street, fronting mv room.
The landlord begged me to leave thu house, fear
ing they would burn it up, whereupon I raised
my window, walked out on tlie balcony, took a
good look at them, and told them that tlie day
would come when they would hear me, and
then bade them good night.
Hark Ye Giki.es 1 —lt is high time that some
body told you a little plain truth. You have
boon watched tor a long time; a certain class
of you; and it ia plain enough you are laying
plan* to cheat somebody. You Intend to sell
chaff for wheat, and there is danger that some
of tlie foolish “ gudgeons" will he sadly taken
in.
It may not he your fault that you belong to
the “ one idea party”—that the single idea of
getting a husband is the only one which engros
ses much of your time or attention. Your
venerable mother of Eden memory, was called
a “ help for man, and you are looking lor a
man to help you ; to help you to live in the half
idle, half silly way which you have commenced.
Men who are worth having wnut women for
wives. A bundle of gew-gaws with a string
of flats and quavers, sprinkled cologne and set
in a earnfin* saucer—this is no help for a
man who expects to raise a family of boys and
girls aud veritable bread and meat.
The piauo and the lace frame are well in their
places, aud so are ribhous aud frills and tinsels,
but you can’t make a dinuer of the former, nor
a lied blanket of the latter. And awful as tlie
idea may seem to you, both dinner aud bed
blanket are necessary to domestic enjoyment.
Life has its realities as well as its fancies, but
you make it all a matter of decoration, re
membering the tassels and curtains, forgetting
the beadstead. Suppose a young man of good
sense and of course good prospects to be look
ing for a wife, what chance have you to be
chosen f You may cap him, ortiap him, to catch
him, hut how much better to make it an object
tor him to catch you ! Render yourself worth

The Coming Intestine War.—The Rev.
Horace Greeley calls Mr. Raymond’s disclo
sures of the bloody plans of the radicals, “Chi
nese Thunder.” Mr. Raymond, in an editorial
in the Times retorts cruslfingly :
“ The mntterings of the storm which herald
ed the rebellion were, in the Tribune's judg
ment, merely ‘ Chinese thunder.’ The firing at
Fort' Sumter wns only ‘ gong-hcatlng,’ to be
laugh at as of little moment. Through all tlie
early stages of the war our cotemporary dis
played the same Qofish bravado —the same ina
bility to comprehend tokeus of danger, or the
same dishonest desire to belittle them. For
months it aesumed tlie most valorous airs, be
ing always ready at any moment, to undertake
the suppression of the rebellion by contract.
At length a consciousness of danger came ; and
then where was the Tribune * On its knees,
pleading for peace, down upon its marrow
bones, echoing the prayers of Colorado Jewett
for an abandonment of the struggle for the
Union; running in sore affright to Niagara, to
hob-nob with tlie Thompsons and Sanderses of
the rebellion, and to patch up the terms of an
inglorious surrender.”
Boston Gallantry.—A St. Louisan at Har.
vnrd, writing to us of the characteristics of Bos
ton, says:
Another act in the play is the quiet, self
possessed look of the male population in a car,
when a lady enters to find every place taken.—
Some look up lrom their paper, as much as to
say, “I wish you had a seat,” and then resume
their reading. 1 have seen a car full of gentle
men, all seated, and four or five ladies stand
ing up in the centre of it, holding to the straps;
and if one of the flcntlcmen gives a lady lfis
seat, it is lqoked upon as being rather verdant
instead of polite.
Something New in North Carolina.—
flip editor of the Raleigh Standard has seen a
now invention called The Watch ftog, or Sleep
ing Man’s Protector—an ip iron hqx, nearly
square, weighing sixteen pounds, containing a
gnu or small caunoji, and so arranged by wires
that It will explode at a slight touch. The ram
mer of the _HH is used as a lover to raise a
strong spring, which, when set, may be released
and thrown npop a percussion cap which dis
charges the gun, by the touching of strings that
are attached to four wires, and may be extended
to any distance. The noisu of the explosion
will itself startle a thief, to say nothing of the
shot from the gun.
This invention is by Mr. M. C. Heptinstall, of
Halifax County, N. C. It may bo used in stores,
smoke-houses, corn-cribs, barns, orchards, and
indeed in any situation.
Is Booth Dead! I —Compliment to Baker.
—ln the Senate on Saturday, pending the bill
dividing the awards for the capture of Mr.
Davis, and ol the assassins of President Lin
coln, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky said:
He would like to have satisfactory evidence
that Booth was killed. He had never seen any.
He had heard nothing but rumor. He would
much prefer if Booth had Been captured aliye.
Perhaps he was dead, bqt there was to his
(Davis') mind an Inexplicable mystery about it.
He did not think Baker had any right to any
award. He (Baker) was a worse rejan than any
he was pursuing, and it would be just like him
to have got up a false Booth. The body ought
to have been identified.

The Tribune Grows Pious.
The New York Tribune denounces as “
paper wretchi's” those Southern editors who
have the manliness to give the legion of North
ern Radical writers a tit for their tat. Tlie Tri
aune says good feeling will never exist between .
the people of the two sections “ so long as edi- ;
tors are permitted to prosper and get rich by <
publishing insults and slanders." The con
ductor of the Tribune claims to he pre cnii- 1
ncully and par excellence a just man. Dofis he
not know, says the Richmond Whig, that no ,
people were ever so slandered and insulted as
the Southern people have been for the last
twelve mouths? Does he not know that hi*,
newspaper lias been, and to this moment is, the
chief vehicle of those slanders and insults ?
Does lie not know that what he calls a “ a spirit
of ribaldry aud insult” towards tlie South, cou
pled with the oppressive aud tyrannical meas
ures of his own party, have necessarily destroy
ed that “ respect ” anil that " harmony ” which
we desired to cultivate when the war ceased ?—i
TUcu why does he blame Southern writers tot."
what Northern writers (himself especially)
have done? The- ’Tribune thus concludes
We plead for justice from Northerner
Southerner—justice and lair dealing. Let tit ■
war and its horrid memories pass into ol>liv£
ion, and let Nortli aud South forget geography
and climate, and be men and brothers as -
comes the fellow-citizens of one nation.” '
These words sound pleasingly to tlie ear. But.
they arc the empty words of hypocrisy. DaO
Uu. juotiu »|<irit 111 ay affect I«!CI1 eliowg ijjj,*
writings of the Tribune and its Radical ass?f
ales, in tlie speeches in Congress, and in the
measures of policy adopted for the government
of the Bouili, peace, union ami liarrnouy woujti
uow he firmly established. Bray, how long
will the Tribune continue iu this pious mood ?
Its very uext issue will probably contain an
iiuustial amount of “ ribaldry and insult.” The
J v
Radicals got up a war ot words when the war
of weapons ceased. They have no right to
complain when they are stung by the truth. —
When they stop their falsehoods, we will ah
stain from replying with unpleasant truths.—
Not tiefore.
Advantage of Marhyiku A Rich Widow.-
Moliammed was born in Mecca in the year ol
our Lord 571. His youth was passed iu pov
erty, but bis marriage with a rich widow releas
ed liim from the necessity of toil and labor.
The evils of idolitry attracted his attention and
he resolved to become a reformer. Assuming
an air of mysterious abstraction, he charmed
the imaginative Arab and practiced those osten
tatious virtues which are calculated to raise
him in the estimation ot his countrymen.
Humble iu demeanor, sparing in lood, last dia
ling in mannvr, aud liberal in profession, he
soon acquired great popularity. The funds ot
the rich widow gave him a start and tho world
now knows the progress he made iu his new
religion. There is a saying current in the East
“11 a man has been once at Mecca, watch him;
if twice tear him: if three times, avoid him as
you would Satau.”
Next to Christianity, Mohammedanism is
more widely diffused than any leligion iu the
world. It extends in an uubroken line from
the shores ol the Atlantic to the wall of China.
Two hundred millions ot the human race, or
about c iie-sixth of tho population ot the glqbc
are Mohammedans, and more than twenty mil
lions of these are subjects of Queen Victoria.
Joe Smith did wouders and Brigham Young
has followed up the work with energy aud
spirit; hut how small as vet are their labors
compared with what Mohammed has done?
But then Joe Smith did not marry a rich wid
ow, and Brigham Yung has had too many
wives hanging upon the skirts of his garments.
Who Was Jenny ?—Mr. Editor, in that rare
collection ot good things, the first volume of
Sargent's “Gem Series,” entitled “The Emer
ald,” I find the following poem by Leigh Hunt:
Jenny kissed me when we met,
J neaping from the chair she sat in:
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in I
Say I’m weary say I’m sad;
Sav that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I’m growing qld ; but add—
Jenny kissed.
I quote the above Hues because, since death
lias removed the “Jenny” referred to, it will be
no breach of good manners to say that she was
June Welch Carlyle, the celebrated author. The
occasion on which this celebrated kiss was
given wss when Leigh Hunt brought her the
intelligence that the British Government had
given a life pension to her husband. Mrs. Car
lyle at once jumped up and kissed the venerable
bearer of the good news.— Louisville Journal.
Vert Severe on Stanton. —Thc.Ncw York
Herald says:
“Every opce in a while we hear that Secre
tary Stanton is going to leave the Cabinet, or is
not going to leave the Cabinet, as the wind may
happen to blow. The latest is that he
has become a convert to the Philadelphia Con
vention, and will retain his portfolio. This is
about the worse thing that we have lenrned
about the Convention; but still so ‘long as the
lamp holds on to burn the Vilest sinner may
return.’ We.would like to be informed, how
ever, why Secretary Stanton clings to his office
with such persistency, sacrificing for It not only
his avowed political opinions, but his self re
spect. What is there in the War Department
that he is so anxious to conceal? Clearly, an
investigation would not he out ol place in view
of the strange conduct ol the Secretary. Where ■
are the detectives?
Why one Should hqt Swear.— An article
iu the l’itt6liurg Preacher, gives eight good rea
sons why a man should not swear :
. 1. It is mean. A man of high moral stand
•hg would almost as soon steal a sheep as swear.
», It is vulgar—altogether too low for a deceu t
man.
3. It is cowardly—lmplying a lcar either of
not being believed or obeyed.
4. It is ungentlemauly. A gentleman, ac
cording to Webster, is a genteel man—well
bred, refined. Such a one will uo more swear
than go into the street to throw mnd with a
loafer.
5. It is indecent—offensive to delicacy, and
extremely unfit for human ears.
0. It is foolish. “ Want of decency is want
of sense.”
