We loved each oilier dearly
In childhood’*happy day,
We twined our hands together.
Amid our childish play ;
We joyed in gleestorne laughter
Once o'er each other's joy.
We smiled and wept together
When we were girl and boy
Far hack through many summers
My spirit roves to-night
Amid the fairy dreamland,
When hope- were voimg and bright ;
J hear thy voire resounding
Along the shady lane,
J see thv small hand beckon
Across the meadow plain.
I siart ! ah, 'tis a vision !
f 'ull t entv years have past
Since o er the scented meadow
You beckoned to me last.
How changed are we, and changing ;
Our hearts are full of pain ;
No more the golden gladness
< if youth may come again.
One hour ago I met thee
Amid a merry crowd.
And as you coidty passed me'
My heart beat high and loud.
We once were friends t igether;
We loved each other well,
And why yoti have forgotten
The bitter world may tell.
Proceedings of Hie Philadelphia Radi
cal Convention:
Philadelphia. .September I—The
South' rn delegates assembled at 10 o clock.
Rev. Mr. Attack opening with prayer.
Mr. K. \V. Asliburno, of Georgia, made

inent organization was read.

manent (’resident, and was received with
loud applause.
Mr. Speed, on accepting the chair, ac
knowledged the honor in a brief speech.
He said : We Southern men, who have
seen the sin of slavery, know it historically
and experimentally, it must perish from
the face ol the earth. While we wish
peace, we wish peace permanent and sure,
and established on the principle of equal
justice and equal rights and equal security
to all men within the jurisdiction of the
I Hi ted State -.
He the convention at Wash
ington of the ith of July and the present
convention—both resulting from the strong
feeling which was growing in the South for
universal liberty. < )ne was to crush this
principle, the other to sustain the conven
tion of the 4th of July. If the Congress
of the I 'nited States ever becomes the
mere recording secretary of the Executive
office, the liberty of the Republic is gone.
fie declared that there wasuneoual rep
resentation as long as one man in the coun
try was unrepresented. hen the loyal
Southern men heard this dcclaration ol the
convention at Baltimore, which nominated
Lincoln, it was a day of rejoicing through
out tlieir homes. He called attention to
the popular language adopted, which
said that ‘'slavery is abolished. It does
not say that any Southern State has abol
ished slavery, hut indicates that it lias
j ice 11 abolished by military power, but when
they have power they will claim compensa
tion for emancipated slaves.
He wished it to he written in the funda
mental law ol'the land that no money is
ever to be paid lor emancipated slaves, or
for the effort to overthrow the government,
lie desired the proceeding to he governed
by the spirit of harmony ; that nothing
should he done in anger, hatred, or ill-will
or revenge, but that the proceedings should
be governed by the principles of justice,
right, mercy and love.
Generals Gearv, Butler, Burnside, and
others, were invited to the platform.
A discussion then took place on the fol
lowing motion of Mr. George Sands, of
Maryland:

coed to the appointment of a Committee
on Resolutions and Address, to consist of
two members from oach State and the Dis
trict of Columbia, to lie selected by the
respective Stato delegations, and that all
resolutions declaratory of principles bo re
ferred to the Committee on Resolutions
without debate.
A lengthly discussion ensued, pro and
con, which was received with cries of
‘■Question. Question.”
< )ii the motion to strike out the words,
“without debate, ’ the question was put,
'and the amendment was carried and the
resolution' was adopted.
Mr. Hugh L. Build, of Baltimore offer
ed the following :
Rcsolve-d, That this Convention urges
the loyal men of the North to support the
Congress of the United States in demand
ing of the Southern States the wise guar
antees of the constitutional amendments
passed by Congress, and call upon the pa
triotic men of the loyal States to uso every
exertion to secure tho ratification of the
amendment by their States; and that wo
believe the justice we mete out shall bo
the means of our safety ; in our opinion
there can be no permanent peace or se
curity for the loyal men of the South with
out, a return to negro sulfrage.
Mr. Sehofiled, ol' Alabama, inquired if
that resolution was in the form of instruc
tion.
Mr. Thomas said the first part of the
resolution met the unanimous approbation
of the Maryland delegation ; the latter
part did not.
A delegate moved to strike out the word
“negro.
The Chair said the resolution had al
ready been referred.
Mr. Thomas hoped that it would again
be brought before the Convention for dis
cussion. lie was as strong in the advoca
cy of Union principles as anybody, but did
not favor sueh fire-brands as this.
These remarks gave rise to an exciting
debate.
The resolution was finally referred to a
committee.
A number of resolutions were referred.
At half past one o’clock tho Convention
adjourned until to-morrow.

Mexican Vffairs.
A Paris correspondent of the Journal
<i (./r, writing August g’lst. says:
It is now affirmed that the Empress of
Mexico is far from coming to Paris to pre
sent. in the name of her august consort,
any ultimatum, or to put forward menaces
of'abdication, as certain journals are pleased
to imagine. The amiable and courageous
companion of Maximilian I. has given to
the Emperor a faithful description of the
difficulties already conquered, and those
which still remain to bo overcome, in order
to complete in an efficacious and durable
mauner the political regeneration of Mexi
co. With the means of which the govern
ment of Maximilian already disposes, and
those which the country could furnish, the
general pacification would most assuredly
be accomplished, if. up to the period fixed
ibr the evacuation, the French forces
united to the Mexican army were utilized
according to a plan of operations, combined
in a way to deliver the provinces of the
North from the incessant incursions of the
dissideals. The Empress manifests the
utmost confidence in the future prosperity
of the Mexican Empire.
Penitentiary.
In a visit a few weeks since to the
Penitentiary, the Southern L‘> . 'm/, r re

We find quite an improvement in the
appearance of tilings inside the Institution.
Col. Anderson, the Principal Keeper, is
rushing work along at a rapid rate. He has
built a incut house dining room and cook
house under one roof 150 feet long and
about 1300 feet deep; ean seat about 400

A Memorial from the Ladies of Tennes
see.
The following beautiful and touching
memorial, addressed to the President, on
behalf of the great Representative of our
“LostCause,’’was written by Mis- Jose
phine Eaton, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The petition (to which was appended thous
ands of signatures, names of the patriotic
women of Tennessee) has been forwarded
to Washington.
To hit Es r ' He urn. Preskh lit Johnson :
We, ladies of your adopted Mate, come
to you to add our names to the long list ol
Southern women, who have supplicated
vou for mercy toward Jefferson Davis.
: ’ Crushed and broken by the trials and
i -sorrows of the four terrible years through
which wc have passed, we come entreating
vou to take from our lips the last and bit
tcre-t drop in the cup of our humiliation
i and anguish. We come to you with a feel
ing ol confidence and assurance that
ino others can; for we remember
I that you are our own Tennessean,
and that through long years we have
! looked to you to guide the bark of your
loved native State safely through the dan
gers that environed her. \\ e see and feel
the sublimity of your position, standing as
you fearlessly do between the liberties of
the people and that destructive fanaticism
which would lay waste the fairest portion
of God's heritage. We appreciate your
noble efforts to restore Constitutional
liberty, and make this Government such
that the people of all sections can sincerely
love it and earnestly desire its perpet
uation. When you have accomplished
this more than Herculean labor, you will
have earned for your name an enviable
place in the pages of history, and Tennessee
will be as proud of her Andrew Johnson,
as Virginia is of her George Washington.
To us, it seems that the release of Jeffer
son Davis would be an important step in
this direction.
We Ifeg to forget his faults, however
great they may appear to you, and re
member him only asa gray-liaired, sorrow
ing and heart broken man. We beg you,
as you desire peace and concord between
the sections, to “let the prisoner go free.”
In pri-on. Jefferson Davis is still the repre
sentative of our dead cause, suffering for our
sins and standing in our stead before the
tribunal of the world ; and our hearts cling
to himin his sorrow, and we share his suf
ferings as we shared the acts for which be
was punished. Release him, andhe sinks
from the great representative of a loved
caused to a simple citizen of the United
States.
Hiuce it hath pleased high Heaven that
the cause of which he was the chosen lead
er should perish, we bow in humble sub
mission to the Divine Will, and would
fain burv our dead out of our sight. And
now, we pray you to help us forget; to
teach us to love again the whole country,
that we may no longer lie strangers and
aliens in the land of our birth. But while
Jefferson Davis looks out from his dun
geon bars wi b sad eyes over the land for
which he has suffered so much, he stands
between our hearts and the Union, keep
ing ever alive the remembrance of the
pangs we have endured.
We do not attempt to justify his course
to you, as that would ill beseem us, nor do
we even plead bis conviction that duty
pointed to the path he trod, nor refer to
those great qualities which have rendered
his name consniedens for all future time :
but wc implore you by the memory of our
sufferings and tears, by our desolated homes
and ruined hearth-stones, to gfant the lib
erty of this man to the women ofl’ennessee.
Then will no spector of a pale, sad prisoner
rise before us when wc bow to supplicate
Heaven’s blessings upon you; and
no shadow will dim the brightness of your
fame as you stand forth, Jackson-like, sav
ing to the enemies of our loved South,
“Thus far shall ye go, aud no farther.”
A Card.
Here is one of the best hits of the day :
Louis Napoleon begs to inform the em
perors and kings of Europe, and the pub
lic generally, that his business of commis
sion agency is carried on as heretofore at
the Palace of the Tuileries, where he may
be consulted daily, or, if pressing need be,
nightly, and where all confidential letters
must be sent. I laving a few of' tho ideas
which belonged to his late uncle, L. N.,
may be with safety consulted on State sub
jects, and feels himself quite competent to
give the best advice. In all matters of
dispute his judgment is proverbial; and
being thoroughly a master of diplomatic
language, he is able, for his clients, to
prove that white is black.
Resides giving his advice to kings and
emperors in need of it, Louis Napoleon is
prepared to act for them as umpire at the
very shortest notice, and may be relied
upon for giving a decision quite unbiassed
by any party interested, except, of course,
himself. In arbitration eases, and quar
rels between friends, L. N. may bo called
in without pecuniary foe, provided there
lie some little advantage to ho gained by
him. His knowledge of geography is
thoroughly profound, and enables liifn to
render an inestimable service to any one
desirous of correcting an old map. Hav
ing had great experience in the art of land
surveying, he is ready to advise as to the
altering of boundaries and removal of all
landmarks which may be thought a little
obsolete and somewhat out of date. L. N.
may, in like manner, be privately consulted
as to the best means of upsetting an old
treaty; and his advice may lie had gratis
as to changing or removing any ancient
bounds of territory, so as to increase his
own.
Countries bought and sold, or valued
and alotted, as the umpire may direct.
New maps exchanged for old ones. State
treaties neatly broken, and the pieces
picked up with the greatest care. A few
more.emperors, like Maximilian, always
kept on hand, and ready to bo exported at
a half a moment’s notice to any nation
wanting them. Cracked crowns ex
changed, or strengthened and repaired.
State secrets kept most carefully. Clever
negotiators, such as Prince Napoleon, pre
pared to start upon important diplomatic j
missions, and furnished from headquarters j
with the brains they may require. A pri
vate telegraph upon the premises to all the
capitals in Europe, and an efficient staff of
clerks, who sit up day and night.

pire and Commission Agent, Paris.

French Watering Plaee Belles.
A correspondent of the New York
Time*, thus describes a belle of the French
watering places: who “belonged to the
best society. She wore a short petticoat,
j over which was looped a skirt of still brief
!er dimensions. On her feet, were long
j lxiots, ornamented with tassels. To enu- i
j merate the drops of glass and metal which j
J covered the young lady’s dress would be j
: quite impossible. Her corsage was fasten
! ed by a sash, and the spectator involun- |
■ tarily glanced to the left side, expecting to
I see a sword dangling there. Two inordi
nately long ribbon streamers, resembling a
pair of reins, were fastened at the back of'
her neck, and floated behind lier to the
ground. One of the most curious features
of this lady's “harness" was her head
dress. It consisted of an infamous scaffold
ing of reddish-brown hair, crimped, curled,
rumpled, and falling iu calculated disorder
I upon her neck and shoulders, the whole
surmounted by a small gauze and wire
platter, garnished with festoons of large
glass heads, and covered with a tuft ot ar
tificial leaves and flowers. The platter
was fastened to its place by two huge ;
j pieces of ribbons, wot much less than a foot
wide. The visage set off by these aecesso- i
! ries was itself a work of art. A thick layer
: of paint was plastered over the face, and
| rendered adhesive by some greasy sub
: stance. At particular points were penciled
! bluish lines, to imitate veins. The eyes
. were surrounded by a black circle of India
ink. the cheeks were delicately reddened
with carmine, and th: lips smeared with
rose-colored pomatum. Os course it would
! not do to exhibit this picture in the open
lay. Like other paintings, it is seen to :
! best advantage at a distance —though it
: would be venturing to-' far to affirm that
| even distance could, in this case, “lend en
chantment to the view. To prevent ac
cidents. the lady wore a veil, just thick
! enough to dissimulate any little imperfec -
tions in the decoration of her visage, and. |
thus protected, appeared in public, aeeom- i
panied by a bevy of others of her sox. got
ten up in the same “fashionable’’ style of j
art. How do you like the picture, oil! fe

The Missouri Political Muddle.
St. Loris. Sept. 4.—The Radical State
Executive Committee issued an address to :
the Union men of Missouri, and all friends ‘
; of law and order, strongly urging them to
unite for the maintenance of the law and j
the suppression of attempts, front what
ever source, to subvert the government j
and inaugurate a second civil war. which
is apprehended in consequence of recent
incendiary publications in opposition pa
pers calling upon their party and friends to i
• organize, arm. and prepare themselves for
war. The address says the pretext for
their appeal is founded upon the fact that
Gov. Fletcher recently ordered half a dozen
companies of militia into service, at the
earnest request of the sheriffs of counties
in which the troops are stationed, for the
protection of the lives and property of
t nion men against lawless acts of rebel
guerrilla> and other outlaws.

Landed Estates in Georgia.
A week or two since wo stated that
about half the fanning lands of Georgia
were in market at prices frequently much
below and generally very little above the
cost of clearing and improvements. The
anxiety to sell scents to us unreasonable.
To show what sacrifices some are willing
to submit to, wc will cite a case: A friend,
a few days ago, received a letter from a
planter in Southwestern Georgia— a very
excellent man—with whose place he was
perfectly familiar. The planter offered
our a friend a bonus of five hundred dollars
if he could sell the place and ail its crops,
stock, farming utensils and appurtenances
at seven dollars per acre. It consisted of
eleven hundred acres of the best land in
that region, and included a mill seat and
mill—the latter now in running order. The
stock consisted of four fine cows and calves,
four first quality mules and twentv fine
pork hogs. The crops were cotton, which
lie would guarantee to harvest thirty bales,
eight hundred bushels of corn, fourteen
stacks of fodder and fine ungathered crops
of peas ami potatoes. The farming uten
sils including two good iron-axle plantation
wagons, and a full assortment of plows
and other farming tools. The improve
ments, besides the mill, includes a framed
house finished, containing eight rooms,
and surrounded by all necessary outbuild
ings.
Now the reader can make his own esti
mate of the bonus this planter was willing
to pay any man who would relieve him of
eleven hundred acres of land on these
terras. It must be somewhere between
one and three dollars per acre at least.
We say again, who should want govern
ment wild lands at $1.25 per acre, when
he can receive more than tiiat for accept
ing cleared and improved lands in Geor
gia.
But it is evident such an anomalous \
condition of affairs as this cannot continue.
Lands in the hea it of the best cotton re-,
gions in the world must have some value ;
must, in fact, be very valuable. Our
planting friends arc yielding unreasona
bly to the disorders and discouragements
of’the situation. They are rushing into
market with their lands at the very time
when they should be most reluctant to
sell. When every body wishes to sell,
that is the time to buy ; and when people
are buying that is the time to sell. Let
them wait and labor and hope. Affairs
are bound to adapt themselves in some de
gree to the situation. If freetlmen’s labor
will produce but little cotton, prices must
rise to stimulate production and bring
other labor to the crop. The depreciation
of lands in the South must in time tempt
purchasers, investments and immigration
and under the reciprocal action of these
two causes landed property will recover in
time something of its original value.
Large landholders, it seems to us, should
prepare to induce immigration by offering
alternate portions of their lands to immi
grants, at very low prices, and take the
chances of saving themselves by a more ad
vantageous disposition of' the remainder.
We are justified in assuming even from
the limited experience of the past year
that the day of large plantations has gone
by in Georgia, and the man who can
colonize a portion of his lands with hardy
and industrious immigrants requiring from
fifty to a hundred acres of land apiece, will
have paved the way to sell the remainder
at fair prices. The inducements of society
and its social and religious privileges come
in to add to the valuo of his reserva
tions. Many of the gigantic land specu
lations in the West have been carried on
in this way.
Under the new system, which must arise
j upon the ruins of slavery, there must be
I for years a surplusage of lamb The popu
] lation of Georgia is about eighteen to .the
j square mile, while that of Ohio is over
fifty. Farmers do not like isolation, and
| space will be economised from considera
-1 lions of social enjoyments aud benefits,
! convenience of travel, transportation and
| contiguity to market. It may well be
j assumed that a fifth part of our soil will in
j twenty years produce more than the whole
ever did, and this leaves a large area of
| surplus land to be occupied by an incoming
population. The landholder then should
. strike a just medium between hoarding
and sacrificing his possessions. lie should
soli a part low to create a market by in
ducing immigration and settlement; but
it will be a ruinous policy, under the im
! pulse of present discouragements, to throw
i tho whole away in large plantations at less
J than the cost of the improvements.—

flow the President Woes before the
People.
; There is an amount of confidence in a
| good cause that gives energy to labor and
! cheers every step with the promise of vic
i tory. With this encouragement, and stim
ulated by the large responsibilities that
belong to his elevated position, the Presi
-1 dent goes before tho people in tho great is
sues of the campaign as tho uneompromis
: ing defender of the constitution, as the
long and consistent advocate of popular
sovereignty, as the inflexible defender of
the integrity of the Union, and as the prac
tical laborer to conserve and harmonize all
the delicate and conflicting interests that
arc inseparable from the fundamental pecu
i liarities of our form of popular government,
j so as to give the cohesion of heart and
! mind to national unity, as the foundation
| of national strength and tho guarantee of
national perpetuity. He goes before the
people as the messenger of concord to
| bless the whole land, and with the magna
j niinity of the strong man, invincible in
power, to offer the hand of reconciliation
i to a broken, unnatural and antagonized
brotherhood, inheriting the common bap
| tisin of revolutionary blood, and where
I every interest demands a united, harmo
j nious worship in one national temple, de
dicated to civil and religious liberty. He
goes before the people with tho indorse
! ment of a vast constituency, who represent
j ed. at the late Convention at Philadelphia,
every State and Territory of the Union,
| with their unqualified approval of the
: policy of bis Administration and their God
i speed to his onward Cburse.
What more could he ask to give him
i hope, to stimulate his exertions, and
strengthen the assurance of a great victory,
when the approaching elections shall pro
; claim the verdict of the sovereign people?
i Those who constitute the opposition to
i the policy of the President's administration
ere responsible tor t lie vast sacrifices that
have been forced upon the country, aud
j arc still holding in check tho energies of
thirty odd millions of people, whose active
minds aud strong arms are waiting impa
tiently to enter the fields of labor and reap
the bountiful harvest that is wasting in
i the passing seasons and denied to hungry
and sufferi ig thousands. This will be a
1 tearful reckoning for them in the day of
; settlement. That mighty fact will be made
; more fearful when it is borne in remem
brance that these sacrifices arc imposed
essentially upon thirty-four millions of
white people in the persistent policy of this
opposition to carry out tlieir extreme,
ultra efforts to subserve the more than
doubtful benefits of the poor negroes. To
this costly end the majority in Congress
wasted eight months of legislation of its
late session, and tasked all their ingenuity
to put off indefinitely the day of national
reconciliation and the consummation of a
restored and united Government. It is
the rightful and especial province of the
people to adjust the complicated difficulties
that disturb the harmonious action of Gov
ernment- We have abiding faith in their
wisdom to comprehend fully the impor
tant issues before them and the necessity
of administering prompt remedies to cure
the evils that are wasting their energies
and averting the blessings that are waiting
upon the reconciliation of inflamed pas
sions that have too long divided a national
family, at the cost ot blood and treasure. — !

“The forehead, nose, mouth, chin, and
even Adam’s apple on the neck, all are
perfect. Many a man can be seen whose

this profile, however, not generally known,
is that the effect is produced, not by the
edge of one rock, but simply by the' social
accidental grouping of various rocks, some
more distant than others. In fact the
front of the top of the precipice is a group
of rocks about eighty feet high by a hun
dred in breadth. The nose is "forty feet
west of the forehead. The mouth, which
seems an opening of two thin lips, is a
sidelong chasm or break of fifty feet in ex

vanishes, while the rocks seem inacces

cipitous descent below.

noted for his wanderings, educated at the
Hartford Asylum, a carpenter by trade,
during the past summer, has produced a
very remarkable work, being neither more
nor less than a sac shnih in plaster of the
great stone face. Ilis measurements were
accurately made, not without great risk
and daring exposure. The work is framed,
about 1S inches square. The front view
shows the ragged, rocky face of the prcci
piecc. while a side view gives the profile.
A curious fact, discovered by this work of
Mr. Swett is that the view from the west,
never seen bv human eyes, because inacces
sible, gives almost as good a profile as the
well-known view from the east. The per
manent guests at the Profile House, dur
ing the last summer, raised a sum of
money as a testimonial of their apprecia
tion, and advised him to go to some city
where he could have it reproduced in plas
ter copies for sale. A subscription book
was opened, and during the season a large
number of subscriptions for copies, at a
price not to exceed $lO each, were obtain
ed. His address is Henniker, N. 11.

Turning over papers—-
Dead leaf drift of years—
In the midst a letter
Stained and dim with tears.
Face of any dead one
Scarce had moved me so ;
There my First Love lying,
Buried long ago.
Darling love of boyhood,
What glad hours we knew—
Tears so sweet in shedding,
Vows tiiat were so true.
Dear face round and dimpled,
Voice of chirping bird,
Hardly then, for heart-throb
And word I heard.
But to know she loved me,
Know her kind and fair,
Was in joy to revel.
Was to walk on air.
Happy, happy love time,
Over-budded spring,
Never came tho summer
With its blossoming.

The Trenton (N. J.) State Gazette, of
Saturday morning, says:
It has already been announced that a
delegation of the leading Southern loyalists
in attendance upon the Philadelphia Con
vention has been appointed to visit the
i tomb of the late President Lincoln, and
j address the people of the various towns
' and cities which have been visited by
i President Johnson on bis trip to Chicago.
The arrangements for meetings in this
| State, in honor of the delegation, arc as
follows:
i They will be formally received on Mon
day at the Union League Rooms by the
’ State Central Committee, by whom they
will be escorted through the State, and on
Tuesday given into the charge of the New
York Committees. The delegation vyill
leave Philadelphia at ten minutes to five
in the afternoon, and reach this city at
half-past live, and will lie received at the
I depot by proper representatives of the
; State administration and the populace
j generally. In the evening a portion of the
delegation, which will number twentv-five
i persons in all, will address a public meet
ing in front of the Union League Rooms.
Others of* the delegation will proceed
to Newark, where a formal reception will
he given them, and a mass meeting held
in the evening, at which several of the
number will speak. Committees have al
i ready been appointed in that city to make
| the necessary arrangements for the demon
stration. which will include a procession,
&c. After leaving New York the delega
tion will address meetings at various points
in New England, and will • then meet at
Albany to proceed over the route traveled
by President Johnson.
The Arrest of Gen. Mahone.— The
disgraceful measures instituted against
Gen. Mahone, who at present fills the posi
tion ofPresident of the Norfolk and Peters
burg railroad, and which finally led to his
arrest and incarceration in a jail in New
York on the 31st of August last, have
aroused the just indignation of his friends,
and all who have followed him through his
brilliant career.
It appears that lor an infringement ot a
: coni met between the corporation which
I 1 Fen. Mahone represents and the New Bay
| Line Steamboat Company, by the latter,
i that suit was instituted against them, and
in the course of the proceedings the
steamer George Leary was attached, but
was afterwards released on security.
In revenge for this, the Leareys deposed
that one Malone or Mahone had unlawfully
seized their steamer, aud, by virtue of this
deposition, brought about Gen. Mahone’s
arrest. The General was in his hotel in
/the presence of his family and several
ladies, and was carried to prison at an
hour of the uight when efforts to procure
his release on bail were unavailing. He
was, however, released the next day,
$25,t»00 in funds having been laid down by
the propritors of the Old Bay Line as se
curity.—ll ilmington Journal.
Napoleon’s Plans Failing.—A co
temporary journal speaks of Louis Na
poleon in these terms : "His plans have
all failed through the suppression of the
American rebellion : the hope of a partial
recovery through the war in Germany is
also knocked in the head : the best way
for him is to do the only thing which is i
left, that is. to submit to what he cannot
help, and henceforth keep at home, mind
his own business, and see what he ean make
out of France. His expectation of becom
ing the head of Europe, the arbiter among
kingdoms, the supreme* dispenser of peace
and war, and the lord of destiny to the
whole earth, has failed, and he can be noth
ing more than Emperor of the French, and
that only as long as the French are foolish
enough to tolerate hi in.
The Difference.— An exchange paper
says:
“In Missouri, the man who sells whiskey
on .Sunday without a license, is fined from
ten to twenty-five dollars. The man who
preaches the gospel on Sunday without a
license is fined not less than five hundred
dollars aud .-cut to jail.
The St. Louis Christian Advocate copies
the foregoing and says:
“A slight error in this. The preacher !
is not both fined and imprisoned. He is
tmed not less than five hundred dollars—
and it maybe five thousand—''/•imprisoned
not less than six months—and it might be
-ix years, or any other period above six
months."
The Chicago Tribune welcomes the Pres- '
idem to that city with tie s beautiful com
pliment: "Mr. Johnson iiiomingto Chi
cago with the blood of loyal men upon his
garments. W e advise loyal citizens to ,
avoid him they would any other convic
ted criminal. Let those who approve of ■
the New Organs massacre run after him
and hurrah for him.’’

Some time ago there was a trial for tres
pass in cutting wood front a neighbor’s
premises without authority. One of the
plaintiff’s witnesses was a plain old farmer
whose testimony went clearly and directly
to prove the charge. The defendant’s
counsel, a blustering man of brass, thought
to weaken the force of his evidence by
proving idiocy to be a trait of his family.
He therefore interrogated him thus:
“Mr. Hodge, you have a son who is an
idiot, have you not?”
“Yes, sir.”
“ Does he know anything ?”
“Very little.”
“ How much does he know ?”
“ Well, almost nothing ; not much more

A Singular Re.minisence.—How many

A captain of the regiment, with some
other officers, sought refuge in a recently
deserted house. His attention was attract
ed to what seemed to bo his own hand

found his own signature to it, a native of
an adjoining county, (Gloucester, we think,)
who had served at the seige of Yorktown.

Sut Lovengood. ‘Commission Merchant.
Kernel —l left Nashville to go to keep a \
country store in Kuf'auly. Alabamy; but I
sot to Orleans, jined the Masons, walked
Carondelet street for a few days in store
clothes, and it made a manot’me; I cut
eye teeth torreckly. My bosom panted for
| suwthin grander and bigger than keepin a
! one horse country store. I seed two or
three fellers as said they lied soled away I
half a life time doin' that without niakin’
either money or credit—lied larnt better,
an' was then tryin' Orleans commission
business. Tha sed tliar was two things as
was a payin' business an’ easy. One was
1 runniu’ a newspaper, au' tother was bein’
a commission merchant. Said the last
was most fashionable just then, an' ad
vised me, bein' friends of mine, to drop
anchor in Orleans and try my luck. All I
: had to do was to put up my sign, buy thou
-1 sand eegars, and walk up and down Caron
-1 delet street with my thums in my weskit
; an ask fellers what s gold and how much
cotton’s been sold.
Tha said business would ‘flow to me.’ ,
Well, I done it, and business did flow. I
hired a book-keeper, and called him : my
j young man.' I opened a bank account an’
never didn't have nothin’ ‘over.’ I bought
me some cotton tables and some second
hand samples which I hilt seventeen cents
above the market, an’ talked about ‘waitin’
1 fer an advance. ’ I writ to every man I
ever heard of on a price current sheet, an'
my young man got up a circular for me.
Last, I got a bale o’ cotton! Some
dratted fool sent it down to sorter encour
age me or to try my sense. I had to go
and look at the darned thing. A Fas’
man hed got it an’ tuk it to his cotton
press fore I got to the levee, an’ bein' a
clever feller, had it rolled out fer my in
spection.
Well, Kernel, hit were the biggest bale
o' cotton in the press yard. Looked like
the teller hed floated it down the river to
dodge freight, charges an’ duty. Hit was
wet, muddy, and what they call ‘cow-eated. ’
Hit weighed 707 pounds, fer I weighed it
then an' tliar to kalkilate my commissions.
Bein’ sed, and evidently truly, that hit
must go to the pickery, thar hit went;
not, howsoever, before I gathered a arm
ful out of the heart of it whar 'twas dry.
Then I had cotton to sell! Thar warnt a
i broker in Orleans that didn’t see that cot
ton. I called it ‘good Middlin,’ but every
| one of ’em called it ‘dogtail to low ordi
nary.’ I did a power of tradin’ over that
1 sample! Las a green spectacle feller, lie
bought it, and L told ‘my young mail’ to
make the county sale, lie done it. The
i bale weighed, after picken’, slippin’,
| snatcliin’, er whatever you call it, 249
pounds, an’ tliar was pickers charges,
baggin,’ rope, patchin', drayage, and Lord
knows what more, ’mountin’ to 689.75.
The county sale brought the owner of the
cotton in debt, an’ as I don,t know him
from Adam’s coon dog, I’m boldin’ the
bag yit, waitin’ for him to send more cot
ton, or’remit. as they call it.
A chap, an ornery cuss, with a white
choker an’ lookin’ like the head devil of a
tempranee society, a Yankee chaplain and
sutler —lie come inter my office one moruin’
an’ sed how he wanted me to ‘take his
| bizness.’ I squared around to see how
clean a thing he was offerin' me. Sed how
lie had left the pull-pit as onworthy his
high order of talent, an’ lied bought a
: stock of goods from Wallace & Cos., an’
| they wouldn’t ship ’em without cash or an
| exceptance. He wanted to control cotton
l and other projuee, an' hed an unbounded
influence in his ’section.’ Sed whar he
kep store tliar was pine trees tell you
j couldn’t repose, an' the gophers an’ terra
pins was so thick _ that wagins goin’ long
the road killed millions of ’em.
i The pine trees made tar, pitch and tur
kentine, an’ the gophers ail’ t irrapins was
what they made tarrapin soup o’ at the
i restaurants and fancy hotels in Orleans.
! Sed they weighed whar he come from, 800
to 8,000 pounds, and that frekently timber
wheels was necessary to move ’em.
Sed lie had a government contract for
carryin’ the mail an’ movin’ the gophers
outen the country, an’ Orleans was the
market for the meat of the gopher. Sed
lie had an intrust in every plantation whar
he agreed to move em, and whar he agreed
to guarantee agin’ the army worm, boll
worm an’ heavy rains in pickin’ season, an’
would control 1,729 bales o’ coitou outen
the cornin’ crap, an’ wanted acceptance for
six thousand dollars. Cheap enuff! Wal
lace’s folks wouldn’t take it, hut somebody
i else on Canal street did, an’ I got the fel
ler’s business, an’ think it safe enuff. I
find lie’s wuss ’en a mustard plaster for
drawin’, tho’.
I found how many acres was in that
feller’s county, and from what cotton he
sed I’d git, I knew torreckly what the
growin crop would be. I aint mean about
what I know, so I told the fellers on Car
ondelet street, an’ some of’emwritit down
and sent it to England to influence prices.
1 talked big about my ‘advances’ to plan
ters —but didn’t say a word about it’s be
in’on paper an’ no cash out. Oh, hit’s
orful easy to be a commission merchant,
es a fellers jest got meat and bread sense.
Some of these bushy eye-browed ole
fogies that look so mighty wise, don’t
’pear to notice me ; an’ lhave heard some
of cm talk about Mnushrooins_’ an ‘toad
stools.’ That means somethin’ envious
an’ spiteful, I don’t doubt, but I
aint payin no tention to em. Thar’s
one bank that jest loves to lend money to
‘commission merchants.’ Hit’s given me
enuff.to run mo an’ ‘my young man’ six
months, which may be long ’nuff. I’m
ready to swar thar aint nothin’ like the
commission business for bein’ easy an’
cheap, less’en it’s runniu’ a newspaper —
which I aint tried. Es that gopher man
with the white choker don’t come up to
front and center ’gin the time that paper’s
! due, I’m gone up a spout, shore; broke,
ruined, an’ made an assignation.
Then I’m goin to turn liquorary an’
start a paper.
If I do, kernel, I’ll give you a season
ticket to tire circus. Come an’ see me. My
office is 793 Carondelet street, up stairs.
Must go an’ see what's gold an’ cotton.
