ELLIS & CO'B wr strictly Pure Drugs and Jaedu>.ir, es .Paints ,Oils,&c> When my friend Capt. Terrible, U. S. N., diues at my plain table, I am always a little ubashed. 1 know that he has been accustomed always to a variety of wines and sauces, to a cigarette after eiich course, aud to u cookciy thut would kill an undeveloped American. So, when the caotain turns the caslor round three times before selecting his condiment, and when liis eyes scam to be seeking for Worcestershire sauce and Burgundy wine, I feel the poverty of the best feast I can furnish him. J am afraid veteran maga^it.e reactors will feel Uws about the odd little btory I have to tell. For I have observed of late that even the gl ort stories are highly seasoned; and I cannot bear to 'disappoint readers. Stf let me mat honesily write over the gateway to (his t-tory a warning. I hove uo Cayenne pepper. No Worcester-hire sauce. No c •gnac. No cigarette* No murders. No brokeu hearts. No Lovers' ';uan--ls. No angry lather. No pistols ami doffed: No arsenic. No laudanum. No shrewd detectives. Mo trial for murder. No 'he&rtless coquette." No "deep dyed villain with a curling moustache/' Now if, after tills jvarniiig, you have the courage to go on, I am not responsible. Hubert said i. aaigiit print it if I would disguise the entries. It came out quite incidentally. We were discussing tho woman i]u stion. I am a "womau'a rightcr." Hubert—the Kov. Hubert Lee, I should cay, pastor of tho "Fir.-t Church," and, indeed, tho only ohuruh in Alleudale—is not, though I (latter myself I have made sotuts imprcHsioij ou him. But the discussion took place in Hubert's own house, aud witdi^iug to give a tikasaut turn at the end, I suppose, he told rue how, a year and a half before, he had "used up" one woman's rights man, who was no other than old Dr. lfood, the physician that hns had charge of the physical heabh of Hubert and myself from the be£innin£. Unlike most of his professioii, the dec'.or has al- ways been a radical and eveu the wealth that iitis co:ne in upon him of late years has left him ijui'e as much of a radical, at least in theory, as ever before. In- deed, the old doctor is not very incon- sistent in practice, for he has educated his o/ily daughter, /Cornelia, to his own profusion, aud I believe she took her M D, with honors, though she has late- ly spoiled her prospects by marryiug. But socially he has become a little aris- tocratic, seekjngan ex/jlusive asoeiation •with his wealthy neighbors. And this does not look very well in the one who,' when he was poor, was particularly bit- ter on a "purse proud aristocracy." I suppose Hubert felt this. Certainly I did, and therefore I eujoyed the con- versation that he repeated to me all the' more. It seems thut my friund Hubert had been away at thf .seciiujii'y for three years, aud that having at last conquered iu his great baltUttgitinst poverty, and having gained an education in spite of difficulties, and having supplied a city oburch acceptably for some months dur- tDg the abBer.co of tho pastor in Europe he came back to our native village ^ rest on Lie laurels a few wot/ks, and de- cide which of three rather impecunious calls he would accept. When just about toleave h,o took it into his head, for some reason, to "drop in" on old. Doctor Hood. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the doctor's partner was making morning calls while the old gentleman sat in his office to attend to any that might seek hia services. This particular morning happened to bo an unfortunate one, lur there were no ague- shaken patients to be seen, aud there Wits cot even a case of minor surgery to relieve the tediousnees of the- morning office-hour. Perhaps it was for this reason, perhaps it was for the s;.ke of old acquaintance, that he gave Hubert a most cotdial reoeption, and launched at once into a sea of vivacious talk. Cor- nelia, who was in the office, excused her- self on the ground that she was cram- ming for her final examination, and seat- ed herself at a window with a book. "I amafraid I take jour time, doc tor," said Hubert. "0 no, I nmgiving up practice to my partner, Dr. Beck, and shall give it all to him in a year or two." "To him and Miss Cornelia?" queried Hubert, laughing. For it was current- ly reported that the young doctor and Cornelia wero to form a partnership in other than profaesioual aflaitB, not apply your principle to it in part. Theories often fail when tioally applied, you know." "Go qp, IJu, go on; I'd likp to tear the story. Aud a,s for niy principles, they'll bear applying anywhere!" and the old doctor rubbed his hands together confidently. '•This friend of mine, Henry Gilbert," said Hu, "was, like myself, poor. A long time ago, wheo he was a boy, the son of a poor widow, the lot oti which he lived joined at the baci t[ip lot on which lived a Mr. MortOii, uf' that time a thriving merchant, uow the principal capitalist iu that part of the country As there was a back gate between the lots, my friend was tho cocstant play- mate from earlies! childhood of Jennie ^fort M. lie built her playiioj^es out of old boards, he moulded clay bf icks for her use and oarvtd tiny toys out of piue blocks for her amusement. As he grew larger, and as Jennie's father grew richer, aud came to live in greater style, Henry grew ir.ore shy. But by all the uri'spoken language of the eyes the two never failed to make their ULchanging regard known to each othor. "Heury went to college early. At vacation time tho two met. But the growing difference iu their social posi- tion could but be felt. Jennieis friends were of a different race from his own. Her parents never thought of inviting h:m to their entertainments. And if th<y hud. a rusty coat and a lack of money to spend on kid gioves wouid have effectually kept him away. He was proud. This apparent neglect stung him. It is true that Jennie Mor- ton >a« all the more kind. Hut his ijuiek and foolish pride int'.do him fancy that he detected pity in jicr' kindness. And yet a;l .'Jus ;.iade him determined lo place himseil ip a position in which he could ask her hand as her equal. But you do not un^era!and ; doctor, as I do, how irresistible is this conviction o}' duty in regard to the ministry. Under that pressure my friend setlled it that he must preach. Aud •,ow thero was before him a good ten years of poverty at least. Wiut shoula ho do r>boat it V musty coat, btop and look after yoi? the street, and eyprj night, When I go home, hotViitting at tho window that looks over this way. The poor fool is in love with you. Only think of it ! And I chuckle to myself when I see him, and nay, 'Don't you wish you could reach so high !' 1 declare, it's funny." "In that one speech Colonel Pearson dashed his chaucei to pieces. He could not account for the uudderf return of winter in Jcnuio Morton's manner. Anil all hig gunuhiue wan powerless to dispel it, or to bring back the' least approach of spring. "Poor Jennie! You can imagine, ductor, how she paced the floor all that niuhfc. Sfas began to undorjtaud some- thiug oi tue'eourage of Henry Gilbert's heart, and something of the mauliuees of his motives. Ail night long she watched thelight burning iu the room in the wid.nv j house; and all night long she debated the matter until her head ached. She could reach but one conclusion ; Henry was to leave tho day after to-morrow. If uny communiuation should ever be opened between them, she must begin it. It was as if sho had soen him drifting away furever, and inu-t throw him a rope. I think even such a woman's rights man as yourself would hardly justify her, however, in taking any step of the kind." " I pertaiuly should,'' said thp doc- tor. " But she could not ficd a way—she had no rope to throw. Again the col- onel, meaning to do anything else but that, opened tho way. At the break- fast-table the next morning she received from him a magnificent valentine. All at once she Raw her method. It was St. Valentine's day. Tho topo was in her hand. Excusing Ueraell from break- fast she hastened to her room. " To send a valentine to the faithful lover was tho uppermost thought. But how ? She date not write her name, for after all, she might be mistaken in count ng ou his love, or {hp miyht offund his prejudices or his pride by so direct au approach. She went fumbling iu a drawer for stationery, fche drew out a ittle pins b.at that Henry had whit led for her many years before. He had named it ' Hope,' but the combined wis- dom of the little boy aud girl could not ed i lli th tl he passed the happie*i evening of hia life, only to awake to sorrow, for Jen- nie's father is 'dcud set' against tho matoh.' 1 ( 'llo has no right to interfere," said the doctor, vehemently. "You soo I stand by my principles." "But if I tell the story out I am afraid you would not,!' caid Hubert. "Why, isn't it done f" "I beg your pardon, doctor, for hav- ing used a little craft. I had ; ..'.ich at stake. I have diaguised this t;t6>-y iu its details. ]>ut it is true, I am the hero "In his extremity he took advioe of a favorite theological professor. The pro- fessor advised him not toseek the hand of a rich girl. She would not be suited to the trials of a minister's life. But finding that Heury was fi.r;;i jn his opinion that this sound general principle dii not »Q the least apply to this par- ticular case, the professor proceeded to touch the tenderi-st chord in the young man's heart. He told him that it would be ungenerous, and ia some sense dis- honorable, for him to take a woman del- icately biought up into the poverty and trial incident to a minister's life. If you understand, sir, how morbid this sense of honor is, you would not wonder at the impreesion this suggestion inad.o upon him. To give up the ministry was in hia mind to be a traitor to duty and to Qod. To win her, if ho could, was to treat ungenerously her .whoso happinaes was dear to hiqi a thcusand tim^s more than his own. "I hope ho did aofc give her up," said the doctor. "Yes, lie p-ave her ujp, in a double spirit o' mediaeval eelf-sacrifioe. Look- Dg toward the ministry, he surrendered hi* love, ambition, and all other thiutc to oou»cienee. Looking at her happi- ness, he sacrificed his hopes in a more than knightly devotion to her welfare. The knighis sometimes gave they- lives. He gave more. "Vor three years he did not truet him- eelf'lo return to his home. But having graduated and settled himself for nine months over a church, there was no reason why hoshouldn't go to see his mother again. And once in the village the sight of the old fchool-ko^e and the o?d ob&rpb revived a thousand memories that ho had been endeavoring to banish The garden walks, aud especially the apple-trees, that are the most unchauge able of landmarks,.revived tho aid pas sion with uudiminished power. He paced his room at night. He looked out at the new house of his rich neigh bor. He chafed under the restraint of his vow net to thin}: again of Jennie Morton. It was the old story of the mouk who thiuks the world subdued, but who finds it all ut once about to as- sume the mastery ot him. I do not know how the struggle might have end- ed, but it was all at once stopped fcrom- without "There reached him a rumor that Jeunie was already tho betrothed wife of Cplotrel Pearson, who was her father's partner iu business. And indeed Col- onel Pearson went in and out at Mr. Morton's -gate every eveuing, aud the. father was known to favor his suit. ''Jennie was not engaged to him, however. Three times «1ie refused him. The fourth time, iu deference to her father's wishes, she had consented to 'think about it' for a week. Iu truth, Henry had been h^uie <.eu days and had uol called upon her, and all the hope she .had cherished in that direction, and all the weary waiting ecemed iu vain. When the colonel's week was nearly out, she heard that Heury was {o leave iu two days. In a sort of desperation she dctenuiued to acoept Colonel Pear- son without waiting for the time appoint- ed for her answer. But that gentleman spoiled it all by his own ovcr-coutidence. "For when he called, after Jeunie had determined on this course, he fo^ud her so full of kindness that he hardly knew how to hehave with raoderatiou. And sohe fell to flattering her, and him- self at the same time that ho knew all the ins and outs of a girl's heart, he complimented her on the many offers she had received."

I thiuk, doctor, you will hardly justify her iu proceed- ing further with the correspondence ?" " VViiy not ? Hasn't a woman as muoh right as a man ? and when the social advantages are on her side, the burden of making the advances often falls upon her. Many women do it indirectly and ; are not censured." " Well, you know, I'm conservative, doctor, but I'm glad you're consistent. She didsend another valentine. I am afraid she strained this figure of speech about the boat. But when everything in the world depends en cne metaphor, it will not do to bo fastidious. Jennie drew again thelittle boat with misspelt name. And tlii.s time she added five worde: 'The mast r's place is vacant.' "And quite late iu thu afternoon, the reply was left at tho door: ' l a m an applicant for the vacaut place, if you will lake that of master's mate.''' "Good," cried the doctor; "I always advocated giving woman every liberty in these matters." /'But I will stump you yet, doctor," said Hubert. "That evening Gough w»s to leotuxe in the village, and un- friend went, not to hear Gough, but to >vo Miss Jennie Morton at a distance. Somehow, in the stupefaction of reviv- ed hope ho had not thought of going to the houso to see her yet. He had post- poned his departure and had thrown away his scruples, Knowing how much opposition he would have to oontond with, he thought, if he thought at all, he must proceed with caulion. But some ;o, and that railroa^g were not in vogue. | lenco it took news and 'possums all the I sum, Col. Skinuer, wjio is metftionpd in this subjoined urticle, is still in tho laud of the Pharaohs : \\ hen Gen. Lafayette paid a visit to this country after it attained its inde- pendence, ho expressed a desire to take homo with him a specimen of that es- seutia ly Lative animal, the opossum. Au iutimate fiieud cf his, who was edit- ing a paper at ihp time iu Baltimore, a near relative of'Col: Skinner,'lately on ihe Turf, Field and Farm, hearing of this desire un his part, iuserted a notice lo that effect in the columns of his journal. Now, Lafayette has ulways been greatly and denervedly loved aud re- •ipected by Amerioans. His name is a household word with us. Every resi- dent of our country at that time ipould H have been ^leased to testify apprecia-» tion of the.aervbes {ie Lad rendered our colouies when struggling fgr their iude- pendenco. There waa a determina- tion ij the community to prove to him that republics aro not ungrateful, and no sooner had it become generally known that Gen. Lafayette wanted a 'possum than It waa ' unanimously re- solved that a 'poesam he should have at any cosi of labor and expense of money. Hence the editor ot the puper wo have referred to was not much surprised when the coach /rom Pawtuxeat urrived, and he was informed that it contained a box for him with an opossum. He said to himself tbat this is only as it should be, and felt gratified that Gen. Lufayett's wishes had been complied with. Our readers must recollect that in those days stage-coaches were all the g , h , longer to travel. When, howovef, 'the* Philadelphia coach appeared aud brought two more boxes of possums, each con- taining two lively specimens, the editor was satisfied that the country had done its duty ; BO thai next day, when the regular sts.g«3 from the Eastern Shore came iu and brought him six additional 'possums the editor Jf.elt that he had enough ; but when theChesapeake boat landed at the wharf at Baltimore and presented him with one hundred aud twenty fresh andvigorous specimens, he began to think that they y/e»e' getting too mauy for hie:. Our people are a grateful people.. They proved thomselvc* eo conspiouous- ly on this occaaion. Ac for the 'possoms the cry was "still they come." From North, from East, from South, from West; by coach, by stage, by carriage, by private and public conveyance, by stearnboftC, by rowboat, by sailboat : from Maryland, from Virginia, from the Alleghany Mountains, and possibly even from the Rocky Mountains, they poured on in ono steady stroam. Tn the oourse of two weeks the enthusiastic friend and admirer had accumulated twenty-two hundred 'possums. What to do with them ho did not kcow. He could not store them sepa- rately, and ypt it scemod equally impos- sible to storo-them together, and finally he turned them all loose in Monument Square, in Baltimore. Next day tho hearts of the darkey residents in that neighborhood wore de- lighted. Colored i gentlemen love tho oily animal, and''possums wero abun- dant, almost too abundant; they wan- derod through the ajuarc, they climbed to the stoops of the houses, they hung Geological Survey An interesting preliminary report on tho State Geological Survey, showing the work ihut has bueu done- iu thelunt two years, and the work laid out, has b^en preseuted to the legislature by tho Director of the Survey, Prof. Alexander Win one 11. In the broad plan of Pro- fessor Winchell such a survey includes moro than au account of rocks and strata, aud what is uiider tho soil. It takes in tho rivers and the hike.,, biU plants and the animal?, the air aud the rain and tho climate—a complete des- cription of the physical characteristics of these'remark able peninsulas, which have j more coastline, more mineral woul.b, and mnro wealth io the forests than any State in tlio Auiuritmi Uubn. It goes ud it mean so nuoli and are so important in tliis region uf inland seas. When thu (JOB)plate re- port of the survey shall bo published it will make half a dozen octavo volumes, wiih an ample supply of maps aud no end of statistical tables. And it is to be hoped thi_t no fubw economy will hinder the work ft'(<i^ bein^ pprlVrtly done. Tiie zeal at d energy of' Prof. Winchell i* well known ; and he has been very fortunate in his assistants in the purvey. TI10 invusiigaiions of Major Ti B. Brooks in the iron regions, and of Prof. Pumpelly, of Cambridge, in the j C"pper region will show Low tar nhort ] of the reality tbo glowing accounts of the mines oa the uhores nrLske Snp<'rior really are. if the plant of Prof. Vii:- chell and hia associates are carried out, Michigan, which forty years ago was al- most a wilderness, will be hotter known, in all its resources, and all its attrac- tions', thau any State in the Union, imd wilj b'3 shown as a land more blessed by tiie Lord, aud richer in its abundance, than any Canaan or El Dorado. This preliminary report, conoiso and coiidi'ns- <.d as it i^,is full of curious facs. One of the mo.-t remarkable is the number of interior lakes. Not only has Michigan a water front of considerably moro than a thousand mfles ou four great inland seas, but it his wiihiu its territory uot lest; than.5,173 smaller lakes, covering an area of 1.11-1 square luiie.s. No State in the Union has anything like that number of interior lakes Maine, whbu comes next, has ouly 1,5GS laken, less thau one-thirc' as many. Most of these | points aro given. He says : In determining bow the anniversary should be noticed, several 'luestious pre- sent them9elveti for preliminary cousid- First, Should whatever is done he oonducted under tho auspices and di- rection of the Federal Government or by the peoplo acting through a national organization specially provided for the purpose?' • Second, What precautions are neoea- gary at the outtetto prevent the success of euch a cummu nieathnbu'wg impart- ed by political (iitlereucus and party dis- cussions ? 'Jhird, In what way and to what eif- tout should the co-operatiou of foreign nations bo invitee) '.' fourth t How could the celebration bo most universal with the least displace- ment of the populutiou'( There are some important things to be doue in contemplation of such an ».n- nivorsnty which may or mny uot bo us- sooiated with its celebration, Oi' tho. ; e tho most obvious are : First, The couplclion of the Wash- ington Mopuaifjnt, of the Capitol build- ings, aud as far aa possible of all the p-o- juctud ruilwoVi telegraphio aud other public works throughout tho country. Second, The restoration of llso gold lakes abound in fish, and even without the great lakes, tho fishing queGtiott in Michigan would ,bo important. Prof. Winchell has added to the value of his Report by af pending the uble paper on the "Isotliermals of the Lake Region," which ho read at the last i.ueting of the Scientific Association ; and other reports will follow. Thus far the work doue by the Geological Survey has been very thorough aud croditabL'. bpsnOard of values. Third, Tho reduction of tha rational indebtedness to a point which shall in- sure to our Federal securities a value ia all tbo muikets of tl:o \,..,i(l equal at leust to ti.u .-ocurities of any other Gov- ernment. It will bo senrcciy creditable to tho form of government under which we live, aud of which wv leul t-o proud, if teu years :<fter our civil war. and with uninterrupted peace, we coulinue to piiy our dobts iu a deprecfatol our- ruiicy an 1 L oui- republican securities soli a : i lower ratoa than those of the re- nounced monarchies of iho Old World. Wo may not pre'end that tho War.of the Rebellion is over a:;d thd suprema- cy of thu Constitution of our Fathers ' fully ro-ea'.iiblished, till oar Federal bouds are worth {heir noiyinal vu*ue in goKI. 'i'ijti\.' is nu Burerplgn of a weak govcruriuni than a dej'roeuited..curren- cy. How is it possible to celebrate tho lirst centenary of our. political iristlto- tions as it thould be c;:lobrated, with the knowledge that the financial promises of our Government ar« worth less than those of England or Germany, or any othar Government that is constitution- ally distrustful oi iLe popular *'onlr.iuk(ions of English La\r. A London hamster, Mr. A. V. Dicey lag done a good service by showing Eng- ishmeu the absurdities and contradic- tions of their common law. His ex- perienoes and illustrations are contained iu a book entitled •'A'Tr'eiiliSe era tlie- llules for the Selection of the Parties to an Action,"—aud among the curiosities mentioned arc tho following : Tha obstruction of a highway is con- sidered to cause peculiar damage to a man whom it impedes in his business, but none to/i man whom it injures in his trade. The owhor oi a. dbg is not liable for its biting other men, uuless he knew of its fierceness, but without any such knowledge he is liable for its bit- ing cattle. If a horse is allowed to stray, and it kicks a child, the owner is not liable, for "it ja not in the ordinary courso oi the nature of a horso to kick a child." But if a horse strays into a field and kicks another man's horse, the owner is liable, because, we presume, it i-> in (he ordinary course of tho naturo of a horse to kick another horse. If a man builds chimneys which must smoke in a certain direction, and another man lights fires which cause smoke to go up time after the lecture began he discov- | 0 0 t h o f v , es > J?™! 1 * 1 on . lh « P e- ered the Morton family without Jennie!

A tradesman sold a man a lamp which was to be used by the man's wife. The lamp was so badly made that it explod- ed, and tho man's wifo waa iujured. It: h i ld , was hold that j eouldr not recover. Another tradesman sold a man some hair-wash to be used bythe man's wife Tha hair-wash was so badly u,ade that the man's wifo was injured. H was held that she could recover. In some of theso cases the extreme subtlety of the distinctions causes au apparent con- tradiction, while it is hard to say that eithor case is wrongly decided. If a man agrees to build a house, his death does not put an end to the contract, but it does if he agrees to build a light-house. Again, the question whether a hus- band has reduced his wil'o's property into possession or Dot has given nse to very fine distinctions. Iu one caae, a wile's trustee had paid tho wifo tho rent of SI)!:K' property sottled on her, and bad borrowed from her part of the money which vas so paid. It was held that this money wns reduced into possession by the husband, and that after his wifeV death ho might recover it from the trustee. In another case, a pan who had rccoived mouoy for a wifo wroto to her and told l.er that ho held tho money at her disposal. It was hold that after the wife's death this money did not to her husband Steel ear-rbgs are" now tho fashion. They are fastened to the ear by a spring and have the appearance of a email gold dot ir.sertod iu the flesh. They are popular among young ladies, iuasniuch as it is not Liccessnry to pierce tbs cays. Fourth, If pojsibio the geological, mineralogies!, uud botanical surveys of those States whioh jet lack thorn should be mado. Fifth, An extra Federal census should be takt;i in <J line, 1375, thut i.s results may be a.scutaiued and published in time for ihe uuuiveri>aiy off i*7<j, unices the same end wojjlj bo r.>',td by tho census tukon that year Ly tLu scverni States. The takers oi :.ie coitus ishoald be instructed specially to procure tiie n:imos aud addresses of all ci izens then liviog who were born on or before July •i, 1776. Thoiigli I can :iot pj-esume to have thought of all or even of the most op- propiiute ways uf commemorating the approachiuy ooiitenuial pf 1876, yet I will name a few that have occurred to me to show the'general obaractpr with whioh I tiiitik the memoriV.I exercises of that occusioo should bo impressed ; First, At least ouo complete set of gold or silver current coins, with new devicos commemorative oi' the dz$, should be struck off at the Mint for ev- ery citizen of the United States able uai. willing to pay for it. Second, One o* tho eminent poets of laud, or all, should be invited to sing iu ednuriug verse our national farewell to tho departing century. Third, Every art should be laid un- der contribution for some appropriate memorial of thedegree of exnellenuu to whioh such art shall have retained, and "tb. which it will hsgin ihe succe'ediug oenturyl Fourth, Foreign nations might be in- vited to participate ia tho celebration in such way as should s«eu most fitting. At loast the opportunity could be af- forded them of tending or witoholding their congratulations upou the occasion, and showing in ivlmt estimation we, aa a nation, will be held abroad, and the nature of our relations with the rest of the world at that period. Fifth, It is to be hoped and presumed that by 1876 no portion of tho con'i- nent of America will bo in colonial de- pendence upon any foreign Pov.cr, I ut that we shall cjnetituto oue oompaot family of independent States under B.ICD form of government as shall, best suit the peopla living under 'them, aud all in friendly alliance with the United States. jter opportunity perhaps than tt.at ooulil bo selected for holding an Ameri- can Congress for settling many gr«at in- ternational questions which lilurope seems too distracted by conflicting \u- tcrc.-is and jealousies ever to decide. Sixth, Competent persons should be invited to prepare a series g( histories by whioh to measure tho progress and prodiiet &f civilization in tha t'. bt-ites for the expiring. ccntui - 3'. 1. Prominent in this category, if exe- cuted in season, would rank a book tbat Mr. Soward told me simie two years ago he was meditating, and which he des- oribed as a "hisiory of tho Obligations of the World to America," aud for which, in part, his rccont travels In Mex- ico and ou tho Pacitio coast were under- taken. 2.

When my friend Capt. Terrible, U. S.N., diues at my plain table, I am alwaysa little ubashed. 1 know that he hasbeen accustomed always to a variety ofwines and sauces, to a cigarette aftereiich course, aud to u cookciy thutwould kill an undeveloped American.So, when the caotain turns the caslorround three times before selecting hiscondiment, and when liis eyes scam tobe seeking for Worcestershire sauce andBurgundy wine, I feel the poverty ofthe best feast I can furnish him. J amafraid veteran maga^it.e reactors willfeel Uws about the odd little btory Ihave to tell. For I have observed oflate that even the gl ort stories arehighly seasoned; and I cannot bear to'disappoint readers. Stf let me mathonesily write over the gateway to (hist-tory a warning. I hove uo Cayennepepper. No Worcester-hire sauce. Noc •gnac. No cigarette* No murders.No brokeu hearts. No Lovers' ';uan--ls.No angry lather. No pistols ami doffed:No arsenic. No laudanum. No shrewddetectives. Mo trial for murder. No'he&rtless coquette." No "deep dyedvillain with a curling moustache/' Nowif, after tills jvarniiig, you have thecourage to go on, I am not responsible.
Hubert said i. aaigiit print it if Iwould disguise the entries. It came outquite incidentally. We were discussingtho woman i]u stion. I am a "womau'arightcr." Hubert—the Kov. HubertLee, I should cay, pastor of tho "Fir.-tChurch," and, indeed, tho only ohuruhin Alleudale—is not, though I (lattermyself I have made sotuts imprcHsioij ouhim. But the discussion took place inHubert's own house, aud witdi iug to givea tikasaut turn at the end, I suppose, hetold rue how, a year and a half before,he had "used up" one woman's rightsman, who was no other than old Dr.lfood, the physician that hns had chargeof the physical heabh of Hubert andmyself from the be£innin£. Unlikemost of his professioii, the dec'.or has al-ways been a radical and eveu the wealththat iitis co:ne in upon him of late yearshas left him ijui'e as much of a radical,at least in theory, as ever before. In-deed, the old doctor is not very incon-sistent in practice, for he has educatedhis o/ily daughter, /Cornelia, to his ownprofusion, aud I believe she took herM D, with honors, though she has late-ly spoiled her prospects by marryiug.But socially he has become a little aris-tocratic, seekjngan ex/jlusive asoeiation•with his wealthy neighbors. And thisdoes not look very well in the one who,'when he was poor, was particularly bit-ter on a "purse proud aristocracy." Isuppose Hubert felt this. Certainly Idid, and therefore I eujoyed the con-versation that he repeated to me all the'more.
I t seems thut my friund Hubert hadbeen away at thf .seciiujii'y for threeyears, aud that having at last conquerediu his great baltUttgitinst poverty, andhaving gained an education in spite ofdifficulties, and having supplied a cityoburch acceptably for some months dur-tDg the abBer.co of tho pastor in Europehe came back to our native village ^rest on Lie laurels a few wot/ks, and de-cide which of three rather impecuniouscalls he would accept. When justabout to leave h,o took it into his head,for some reason, to "drop in" on old.Doctor Hood. I t was nine o'clock inthe morning, and the doctor's partnerwas making morning calls while the oldgentleman sat in his office to attend toany that might seek hia services. Thisparticular morning happened to bo anunfortunate one, lur there were no ague-shaken patients to be seen, aud thereWits cot even a case of minor surgery torelieve the tediousnees of the- morningoffice-hour. Perhaps it was for thisreason, perhaps it was for the s;.ke ofold acquaintance, that he gave Hubert amost cotdial reoeption, and launched atonce into a sea of vivacious talk. Cor-nelia, who was in the office, excused her-self on the ground that she was cram-ming for her final examination, and seat-ed herself at a window with a book.
"I am afraid I take jour time, doctor," said Hubert.
" 0 no, I nm giving up practice to mypartner, Dr. Beck, and shall give it allto him in a year or two."
"To him and Miss Cornelia?" queriedHubert, laughing. For it was current-ly reported that the young doctor andCornelia wero to form a partnership inother than profaesioual aflaitB,
not apply your principle to it inpart. Theories often fail whentioally applied, you know."
"Go qp, IJu, go on; I'd likp to tearthe story. Aud a,s for niy principles,they'll bear applying anywhere!" andthe old doctor rubbed his hands togetherconfidently.
'•This friend of mine, Henry Gilbert,"said Hu, "was, like myself, poor. Along time ago, wheo he was a boy, theson of a poor widow, the lot oti which helived joined at the baci t[ip lot on whichlived a Mr. MortOii, uf' that time athriving merchant, uow the principalcapitalist iu that part of the countryAs there was a back gate between thelots, my friend was tho cocstant play-mate from earlies! childhood of Jennie^fort M. lie built her playiioj^es outof old boards, he moulded clay bf icksfor her use and oarvtd tiny toys out ofpiue blocks for her amusement. As hegrew larger, and as Jennie's father grewricher, aud came to live in greater style,Henry grew ir.ore shy. But by all theuri'spoken language of the eyes the twonever failed to make their ULchangingregard known to each othor.
"Heury went to college early. Atvacation time tho two met. But thegrowing difference iu their social posi-tion could but be felt. Jennieis friendswere of a different race from his own.Her parents never thought of invitingh:m to their entertainments. And ifth<y hud. a rusty coat and a lack ofmoney to spend on kid gioves wouidhave effectually kept him away. Hewas proud. This apparent neglectstung him. It is true that Jennie Mor-ton >a« all the more kind. Hut hisijuiek and foolish pride int'.do him fancythat he detected pity in jicr' kindness.And yet a;l .'Jus ;.iade him determinedlo place himseil ip a position in whichhe could ask her hand as her equal.But you do not un^era!and; doctor, as Ido, how irresistible is this conviction o}'duty in regard to the ministry. Underthat pressure my friend setlled it thathe must preach. Aud •,ow thero wasbefore him a good ten years of povertyat least. Wiu t shoula ho do r>boatit V

"In that one speech Colonel Pearsondashed his chaucei to pieces. He couldnot account for the uudderf return ofwinter in Jcnuio Morton's manner. Anilall hig gunuhiue wan powerless to dispelit, or to bring back the ' least approachof spring.
"Poor Jennie! You can imagine,ductor, how she paced the floor all thatniuhfc. Sfas began to undorjtaud some-thiug oi tue'eourage of Henry Gilbert'sheart, and something of the mauliueesof his motives. Ail night long shewatched the light burning iu the roomin the wid.nv j house; and all nightlong she debated the matter until herhead ached. She could reach but oneconclusion ; Henry was to leave tho dayafter to-morrow. If uny communiuationshould ever be opened between them,she must begin it. I t was as if sho hadsoen him drifting away furever, andinu-t throw him a rope. I think evensuch a woman's rights man as yourselfwould hardly justify her, however, intaking any step of the kind."
" I pertaiuly should,'' said thp doc-tor.
" But she could not ficd a way—shehad no rope to throw. Again the col-onel, meaning to do anything else butthat, opened tho way. At the break-fast-table the next morning she receivedfrom him a magnificent valentine. Allat once she Raw her method. It wasSt. Valentine's day. Tho topo was inher hand. Excusing Ueraell from break-fast she hastened to her room.
" To send a valentine to the faithfullover was tho uppermost thought. Buthow ? She date not write her name, forafter all, she might be mistaken in countng ou his love, or {hp miyht offund his
prejudices or his pride by so direct auapproach. She went fumbling iu adrawer for stationery, fche drew out aittle pins b.at that Henry had whitled for her many years before. He had

( ' l lo has no right to interfere," saidthe doctor, vehemently. "You soo Istand by my principles."
"But if I tell the story out I amafraid you would not,!' caid Hubert.
"Why, isn't it done f""I beg your pardon, doctor, for hav-
ing used a little craft. I had ;..'.ich atstake. I have diaguised this t;t6>-y iu itsdetails. ]>ut it is true, I am the hero
"In his extremity he took advioe of afavorite theological professor. The pro-fessor advised him not to seek the handof a rich girl. She would not be suitedto the trials of a minister's life. Butfinding that Heury was fi.r;;i jn hisopinion that this sound general principledi i not »Q the least apply to this par-ticular case, the professor proceeded totouch the tenderi-st chord in the youngman's heart. He told him that it wouldbe ungenerous, and ia some sense dis-honorable, for him to take a woman del-icately biought up into the poverty andtrial incident to a minister's life. If youunderstand, sir, how morbid this senseof honor is, you would not wonder at theimpreesion this suggestion inad.o uponhim. To give up the ministry was inhia mind to be a traitor to duty and toQod. To win her, if ho could, was totreat ungenerously her .whoso happinaeswas dear to hiqi a thcusand tim^s morethan his own.
"I hope ho did aofc give her up," saidthe doctor.
"Yes, lie p-ave her ujp, in a doublespirit o ' mediaeval eelf-sacrifioe. Look-Dg toward the ministry, he surrendered
hi* love, ambition, and all other thiutcto oou»cienee. Looking at her happi-ness, he sacrificed his hopes in a morethan knightly devotion to her welfare.The knighis sometimes gave they- lives.He gave more.
"Vor three years he did not truet him-eelf'lo return to his home. But havinggraduated and settled himself for ninemonths over a church, there was noreason why ho shouldn't go to see hismother again.

"There reached him a rumor thatJeunie was already tho betrothed wifeof Cplotrel Pearson, who was her father'spartner iu business. And indeed Col-onel Pearson went in and out at Mr.Morton's -gate every eveuing, aud the.father was known to favor his suit.
''Jennie was not engaged to him,however. Three times «1ie refused him.The fourth time, iu deference to herfather's wishes, she had consented to'think about it ' for a week. Iu truth,Henry had been h^uie <.eu days and haduol called upon her, and all the hopeshe .had cherished in that direction, andall the weary waiting ecemed iu vain.When the colonel's week was nearlyout, she heard that Heury was {o leaveiu two days.

"For when he called, after Jeuniehad determined on this course, he fo^udher so full of kindness that he hardlyknew how to hehave with raoderatiou.And so he fell to flattering her, and him-self at the same time that ho knew allthe ins and outs of a girl's heart, hecomplimented her on the many offersshe had received."

" VViiy not ? Hasn't a woman as muohright as a man ? and when the socialadvantages are on her side, the burdenof making the advances often falls uponher. Many women do it indirectly and;are not censured."

\\ hen Gen. Lafayette paid a visit tothis country after it attained its inde-pendence, ho expressed a desire to takehomo with him a specimen of that es-seutia ly Lative animal, the opossum.Au iutimate fiieud cf his, who was edit-ing a paper at ihp time iu Baltimore, anear relative of'Col: Skinner,'lately onihe Turf, Field and Farm, hearing of thisdesire un his part, iuserted a notice lothat effect in the columns of his journal.
Now, Lafayette has ulways beengreatly and denervedly loved aud re-•ipected by Amerioans. His name is ahousehold word with us. Every resi-dent of our country at that time ipouldHhave been ^leased to testify apprecia-»tion of the.aervbes {ie Lad rendered ourcolouies when struggling fgr their iude-pendenco. There waa a determina-tion i j the community to prove to himthat republics aro not ungrateful, andno sooner had it become generallyknown that Gen. Lafayette wanted a'possum than It waa ' unanimously re-solved that a 'poesam he should have atany cosi of labor and expense of money.Hence the editor ot the puper wo havereferred to was not much surprised whenthe coach /rom Pawtuxeat urrived, andhe was informed that it contained a boxfor him with an opossum.
He said to himself tbat this is only asit should be, and felt gratified that Gen.Lufayett's wishes had been compliedwith. Our readers must recollect thatin those days stage-coaches were all theg,h ,longer to travel. When, howovef, 'the*Philadelphia coach appeared aud broughttwo more boxes of possums, each con-taining two lively specimens, the editorwas satisfied that the country had doneits duty ; BO thai next day, when theregular sts.g«3 from the Eastern Shorecame iu and brought him six additional'possums the editor Jf.elt that he hadenough ; but when the Chesapeake boatlanded at the wharf at Baltimore andpresented him with one hundred audtwenty fresh and vigorous specimens, hebegan to think that they y/e»e' gettingtoo mauy for hie:.
Our people are a grateful people..They proved thomselvc* eo conspiouous-ly on this occaaion. Ac for the 'possomsthe cry was "still they come." FromNorth, from East, from South, fromWest; by coach, by stage, by carriage,by private and public conveyance, bystearnboftC, by rowboat, by sailboat :from Maryland, from Virginia, fromthe Alleghany Mountains, and possiblyeven from the Rocky Mountains, theypoured on in ono steady stroam.

What to do with them ho did notkcow. He could not store them sepa-rately, and ypt it scemod equally impos-sible to storo-them together, and finallyhe turned them all loose in MonumentSquare, in Baltimore.
Next day tho hearts of the darkeyresidents in that neighborhood wore de-lighted. Colored i gentlemen love thooily animal, and''possums wero abun-dant, almost too abundant; they wan-derod through the ajuarc, they climbedto the stoops of the houses, they hung

There are some important things tobe doue in contemplation of such an ».n-nivorsnty which may or mny uot bo us-sooiated with its celebration, Oi' tho.;etho most obvious are :
First, The couplclion of the Wash-ington Mopuaifjnt, of the Capitol build-ings, aud as far aa possible of all the p-o-juctud ruilwoVi telegraphio aud otherpublic works throughout tho country.
Second, The restoration of llso gold

Tha obstruction of a highway is con-sidered to cause peculiar damage to aman whom it impedes in his business,but none to/i man whom it injures inhis trade. The owhor oi a. dbg is notliable for its biting other men, uuless heknew of its fierceness, but without anysuch knowledge he is liable for its bit-ing cattle. If a horse is allowed tostray, and it kicks a child, the owner isnot liable, for "it ja not in the ordinarycourso oi the nature of a horso to kicka child." But if a horse strays into afield and kicks another man's horse, theowner is liable, because, we presume, iti-> in (he ordinary course of tho naturoof a horse to kick another horse.

Fourth, If pojsibio the geological,mineralogies!, uud botanical surveys ofthose States whioh je t lack thorn shouldbe mado.

Thoiigli I can :iot pj-esume to havethought of all or even of the most op-propiiute ways uf commemorating theapproachiuy ooiitenuial pf 1876, yet Iwill name a few that have occurred tome to show the'general obaractpr withwhioh I tiiitik the memoriV.I exercises ofthat occusioo should bo impressed ;
First, At least ouo complete set ofgold or silver current coins, with newdevicos commemorative oi' the dz$,should be struck off at the Mint for ev-ery citizen of the United States ableuai. willing to pay for it.
Second, One o* tho eminent poets oflaud, or all, should be invited to sing iuednuriug verse our national farewell totho departing century.
Third, Every art should be laid un-der contribution for some appropriatememorial of the degree of exnellenuu towhioh such art shall have retained, and
"tb. which it will hsgin ihe succe'ediugoenturyl
Fourth, Foreign nations might be in-vited to participate ia tho celebrationin such way as should s«eu most fitting.At loast the opportunity could be af-forded them of tending or witoholdingtheir congratulations upou the occasion,and showing in ivlmt estimation we, aaa nation, will be held abroad, and thenature of our relations with the rest ofthe world at that period.
Fifth, I t is to be hoped and presumedthat by 1876 no portion of tho con'i-nent of America will bo in colonial de-pendence upon any foreign Pov.cr, I utthat we shall cjnetituto oue oompaotfamily of independent States under B.ICDform of government as shall, best suitthe peopla living under 'them, aud all infriendly alliance with the United States.
jter opportunity perhaps than tt.atooulil bo selected for holding an Ameri-can Congress for settling many gr«at in-ternational questions which liluropeseems too distracted by conflicting \u-tcrc.-is and jealousies ever to decide.

km Appeal for Aid for tbe Sulfvrlng- Peo-ple of I'rniifi1.
Tottfe people of the United States :ID behalf of tlie suffering population
of Franoe,. tbe committee appointed bythe Chamber of Commerce of the City06 New York, to organizo measures ofrelief for tbe Buffering papulation^ofFranoe is now prepared to receive con-tribution!! of mon y and supplies, whichwill be gratefully acknowledged. Thecommittee appeals to the American peo-ple for this objeot in the sacred name ofoharity, and for that alone. It does notwinh to refer to the merits of the con-flict which has arisen between the greatnations of Germany and France, for itbelieves that disoussion on these pointsshould cea»e in the presence of euoh•offering and want. The German armywith a noble magnanimity, and settingan example whicb is worthy of our ad-miration, have shared their scanty ra-tions with their starving foes. Let itnot be said that we, with our abundancehave done less than they. The Fronchhave been engaged in a war of the mostdestructive cbaraoter. It has drawnfearfully on their resources, exhaustedtheir supplies and crippled their indus-tries. In the agricultural districts lastyear's crop was a ehort one, and thepresent on* was harvested only in partand much of what was gathered hasiiuee been destroyed or appropriated forthe use of the army. Tneir laud hasbeon the loene of numerous buttles ofterrible magnitude,-and tbe horrors ofwar have been brought to their verydoors.. AJI immediate supply of food isneeded for the starving population.—Farmers must bava seed to plant in theirfields in the spring or the crops of nestseason will not be forthcoming. Unless•pecdy action is taken for the relief ofthe inhabitants intense misery and des-titution must prevail. Other nations•re moving in this work of true human-ity. Shall it be said thut Americansstood idly by and extended uo helpinghand to the French people in their hourof distress. Oiu duty forbids-us to beindifferent tv their appeal for relief.—Charity that gives quickly is a doubleohacitv, and* the committee, therefore,cannot too strougly impress on all thenecessity of prompt action. Every diiylost is for France a duy ol misery unal-leviated. Contributions in money shouldbe forwarded at once. Supplies ofbreadstuff:! and seed for sowing crops intbe spring will, it is hoped, be sent bythe farmers of the West, for the properconveyance of which future arrange-ments will be made.
Tbe committee call on their fellow-citizens everywhere to engage iu thework of humanity and love. It urgesthem to organize iu every city, townand village at once, and earnestly, andto forward contributions without delayand it feels assured that this appeal to•he benevolence of all will receive anearnest and generous response.

Napclcon's Last Proclamation.LONDON, Feb. 12.
The following is a translation of theproclamation addressed by Emperor Najieleou to the electors of France :
Wium.M.MioK, Feb. 8.Betrayed by fottune I hsve kept
since my captivity profound til. nee.—While mourning my country's nmfortunes, as long as armies confronted eachother I abstained from any steps or wordcapable of causing party discussions, butI can no longer remain silent before mycountry's disasters without appearing in-sensible to its sufferings. When I wa«made prisoner I could not treat for peacebecause my resolutions would appear tohave been dictated by personal consider-ations. I left the Hegeut to decidewhether it was to the interest of the na-tion to continua the struggle. Notwith-standing unparalleled reverses Francewas unsubdued, and strongholds unre<duced, a few departments invaded andParis in a state of defense The extentot her misfortunes might possibly havebeen limited, but while attention was directed to her enemies an insurrectionarose in Paris, the seats of the Ri-presentatives were violated, the safety ofthe Empress threatened and the Empirewhiah had been three times acclaimedby tlie people overthrown a: d abandoned. Stilling my presentiinenta I exclaimed, "What matter my dynasty, if thecountry be saved." Instead ot protest-ing against tbe violation of my rights Ihoped for the success of the defenseand admired tbe patriotio devotion oftbe children of France. Now, whenthe struggle is suspended and all reason-able chance of victory has disappeared,it is time to oall to account the usurpersfor the bloodshed and ruin and squand-ered resources. It is impossible toabandon the destinies of France to anunauthorized government which was leftno authority emanating from universalsuffrage. Order, confidence and solidpeaoe are oly recoverable where the peo-ple are consulted respecting the govern-ment most capable of repairing the dis-asters to tha country. It is essential thatFranco should be united in her wishes.For myself, bruised, by injustice and bit-ter deceptions, I do not know or claimmy repeatedly confirmed rights. Therein no. room for personal ambition, but tillthe psogle are regularly assembled andexpress thtir will it is my duty to saythat all acts are illegitimate. Theirs istbe only government in which residesuttieual sovereignty, able to heal wounds,to- b«iog hoge to. tbe firesides, to roopcuthe profaned churches for prayer, and torestore industry, concord, and peace.
At a meeting of the Executive Com.aitteo of the Frcnoh Belief Fund, heldat Boston Monday, tbe amount contrib-uted was reported at $70,000,,and $25,-000 more is anticipated. Arrangementsfor the prompt loading of the Worces-ter are perfected. An agent will pre-oedo the vessel to consult other, reliefcommittees already in France for judi-ciously distributing the aid furnished.With,theje facilities the committee hope|o make every ten dollars tupply a per-son with cheap (pod. for one hundreddays.

THE I MVKHSn V l.\ Till. LEC1SUTFBE.
Ou Friday last 5Tr. STCKHC, of theSenate c<muiit'ee on public instruction,reported tho result of the j iut commit-tees' visit to tbo Univcr.-ity. The re-port sets forth tho number of students,the lack of ac( oa!modatiins) e-peciillyiu l ie literary depir'min', tho absoluteneed of larger and bitter Ice ure roomsto accommodate tho yenrly incrca iugnumber of p'udent?, and of a chapel or
ll in which the students of all thedepartments can l>« convened on com-mencement nn'l (tier occasions, andlecnuniend on appropriation of 875,000For tbe \ ir pose asked for by the Re-
nts—a new 1 uilding for chapel andleoturo room*.
— In I lie H u«e, on the snme dny,Mr GRANT, from the committee on edu-atton, also reported upon the sumo cub-
jeet, ai:d accompanied his report with abill appropriating STo.OOO for H chapelbuilding, which was read a first aud sec-ond time and j.lacod on the genernl order. The bill parsed tho ordenl of thecommittee of the whole on Wednesday,and was placod ou tho order of thircreading. A favorable indication.
— Tbe facts ami arguments sit fortlin these two reports ought to convii.eethe members of Ixith branches of theLegislature: tbat the University has nofunds enough at its command to nicethe growing demands upon it ; that ican not maintain its present rank amoojeduoational institutions more liberal!;endowed without immediate aid; antthat to refuse t-uch aid and permit it tlanguish or retrograde will disgrace thState in all educational circles throughout the world. The bill introduced bCol GRANT ought to pass both housesaud without a tingle diitenting vote.
— Private advices say the bill passedthe House yesterday. Good.
PENDING a vote in the United StatesSenate, on Monday la*t, upon a joinresolution prescribing the oath to be taken by Mr. Mn.i.rit, Senator eleot fromGeorgia, Mr. MORTON made the drclaration that the bill repealing tho tesoath "passed the Senato last cessionwithout tho knowledge of three members of that body." If this statementis true,—and would a Radical Senatorlie about so small' » matter?—whatwhere tho Senators about ? Do tbemembers cf that body pocket $5,000 ayear, and then FO neglect their dutiesthat they don't know what they are vo-ting for ? But taking the assertion asslightly exaggerated, and yet it is evi-dent that there is "something rotten inDenmark." Two or three amendmentsto the constitution are absolutely necessary to protest tbe public against schem-ing and lazy legislators No bill shouldbe allowed to include more tiiaa oneobject, to be set forth in its title, whichwould keep " the oat out of that mealtub;" and then the yeas and nays shouldbo taken on the passage of every billand a majority of all the member* electrequired to vote for any bill in order topass it. Now bills are passed with lessthan a quorum present, by a minorityof, the members eleot, aud without theircontents being known.

THE IMTLIt STATES ARD KM.I.IM*.
In n*T opening speeoh to ParliamentQueen VICTORIA announced that she l>adproposed, to the Government at Washington a joint High Commission, to sitat Washington, and to which should bereferred the claims and differences grow-ing oat of the noherien on tbe northcuvtern coasts of the British possessions inAmerica, the question of boundaries thenavigation of tho St. Lawrence, aud anyother questions therewith connected.Simultaneously with this announcementPresident GRANT sent a message to theSenate, will) Sbo-correspondence betweenSecretary FISH and Sir EDWARD THORN-
TON, and also nominated for confirma-tion five Commissioners to act on thepart of this Government. Tho corres-pondence shows tbat the President accopied the proposition made by EarORANVILI.K, through Sir EDWARD THORN
TON, vriih a provision that tbe Alabamaolaims, so-oalled, should be referred tothe same commission.

Mcn'i Hlgtitu a Frartka! \ lr«.The women are not to have it al
their own way at Lansing. Witneethe following petition presented by MrMONTGOMERY, of Eaton, on Friday lastand numerously signed by his w.-ODgemale constituents :
Whereat, All governments nre pure!couventtonal, and should be arranged thaequal and exact justice may be fully estublished, to the end that peaceful fruitmay fall upon us all as the nightly dewfrom heaven. And, whereas, the rights owoman have so far bean extended, that sbha9 full power and authority to sell, cotvey, and otherwise dispose of any an.l all liereal or personal estate without the counstor consent of her husbaud, and withouhis joinder In her deeds;
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned petitloners, humbly and devoutly pray thayour honorable body will extend the samrights and immunities to the opposite osterner sex, except so far as relates thomestead exemptions. All which, igranted, will be quite .satisfactory for thiprayer. But if your honorable body shalfail to grant said request, we, the undersigned, will feel under the strongest obligatlon to create to ourselves other godwho will hear our supplications), aud Urnwe'll ever pray.
Tim Detroit Tribimt'n publishing fullist* of all the rasidents of the Statwho are worth $25,000 or over, according to tho reoent census. We doub•ery much whether such enterprise is t
commonded, in fact we rather thinlthat it is to be condemned. It is cortaiuly a violation of the spirit of tinoensui laws, an exposing of the privateaffairs of individuals not eontemplatedIf the law has a loop-hole authorizingsu«h publication or not guarding againsit, it needs amending sadly.
Tna Senate bill increasing tha pay otbe judges of oar Supreme Court walost in the House a few days ago. We•re sorry to see tbat Messrs. CONODONand CniLDS voted against it. To insuregood judges they must have salaries approximating to what the same men canmake off the bonoh. Half the farmerin Washtenaw county have) an incomeexceed ing the salaries of our CireuiJudges, and many of them exeeedinjthe salaries of the judges of the SupromCourt.
THE Washington newe-gathererdon't harmonise very wall ooneerninjAttorney-General AKKBMAN. Some othem insist that he proposes to resignwhile others are equally confident thahe will hold on like a dog to a bone.—The latter are neare'at right on generaprinciples, for who ever heard of aRadioal office-holder resigning—unlessbe had a better office secured.
BOTH branches of Congress had thXVth amendment in hand on Wednes-day, and the House, by a vote of 144 to64 passed a supplementary bill to enforce i t : nominally to purify elections inthe States, but really to put them underundor Federal control in the interest othe dominant or Radical party. That iswhat free and pure elections mean atWashington.

couldn't sign the bill prescribing a newoath to supersede the iron-clad in certainoases, but that be bad permitted it tolecome a law without his signature.'Whipping the d—1 around a stump,"that.

NORTHERN PACIFICRAILROAD CO.
Secured hr Flrtt Mortgage on Kailroad and LandGrant
SAFE, PBOFITABLE. PEBMANENTWe offer for »ale at par «nd accrued interest the
first Mortgage Land Clranf. Gold Bonds of thelorthern Pacific Railroad Company. They are freerom (fnitad! States Tax, and are issued cf the
following denominations : Coup-m, $100, $500,and 81000 ; Beffisttredf $100 *500, 81,000,*5 000 and «10,0O0.
With the same entire confidence wl h which weimonded Oovcrnment bonds to Capitalists and Peo-
ple, we now, after the fullest investigation, r<com-nend there Northern Pacific Railroad bonds to onrfriends and >hc general pnblic.
G o l d P a y m e n t . — B o t h principal and inter-est arc payable in American gold »oin, at the office ofJayCnoke&Co.,Nrw York (ity—the principal atthe end of 30 years, and the In'erest i.it the rate orseven and th:eetenths per cent, per annum) half-yearly, first of January Hud July.
P e r f e c t Safety .—The bonds we are BOH- selllug, are secured by a first and only mortgage on allthe property and rights of the Northern Pacific Rail-road Company, which will embrace on the complextion of the work :
1. Over Two Thousand Miles of Ilond, with roll-Ing stock, buildings, and allotherequipments.
1. Over Twenty-two Thonsand Acres of Land toevery mile of finished road. This laud, agricultural,timbered and mineral, amounting in all to more thanFifty Million Acres, consists of alternate sections,reaching twenty t" forty miles on each side of thetrack, and extending in a broad fertile belt fromWisconsin through the richest portions of Minneso-ta, Dakota, Vontann. Idaho, Oregon and Washington, to PagetSound.
While the Government does not directly guaranteethe bonds of the Ho.-id, it thus amply provides fortheir full and prompt payment by an unreservedgrant of land, the most valuable evercouferred upona great national improvement.
T h e M o r t g j « « e —The Trustees under theMortgage, are Mosra. Jay t'nnke»f Philadelphia,and J. Edgar Thomson, President of the Pennsyl-Tanla Central Railroad Company. They will directly»nd permanently rrprmen' the Interests of the FirstMortgage bond holders, and are required to sec thattheproM«rf» of ln.nd inlet are used in Jiurehnrina cm Icancelling the bondt nf the Company If they can hebought before raa'nrily at not more than 'en percent, premium ; otherwise the trustees arc to investthe pfocwds of land sales in United States Bonds orReal Estate Mortgages foi the further security ofNorthern Pacific bendh lders. Also that they haveat all times In their control, tn security, at least senacres o f average land to eyery Sl/00 of out«tan<Singfirst mortgage bonds, besides the railroad itself andand all its cqnlpments and franchises.
P r o f l t a b l e n e e e . — O f course nothting <-an bosafer than the bonds of the United .-'tales, but as theOovcrnment Is no longer a borrower, and as the Na-tion's present work fs not that of >re«er*lng Its ex-istence, but that of DEVKLOPINI; A CONTIKKWT, we re*mind those who desire to increase their income audobtain a more permanent Investment, while still having a perfectly reliable security, that :
United States 6-M's at their average premium yieldthe present purchaser lets than Hi per eent. gold in-terest. Should they be redeemed in live years, andspecie payments be rebumed, they would really payonly 4S percent., <r if in three years, only ?,)i p»rrent, as the present premium weald rovMiffhile besunk.
Northern Pacific 7-80's selling at par In currencyyield the Investor 7 3-10 per cent, gold interest ab«olutely for thirty years, fret from United statrt tax*l,luo currency invested now in United States 5--.0'swill yield per year in gold, say $62.no. $l,loo cur-rency Invested now in Northern Pacific M**l willyield per ) ear in gold, »MI 30. Here Is a difference inannual incomt of nearly onejkird, besides a differenceof 7 to 10 per cent, in principal, when both classesof bonds are redeemed.
'J."lie R o a d N o w Buildina;.—Work wasbegun in July last on the eastern portion of the line,and tbe money provided, by the sale to stockholdersof some six millions ol the Company's bonds, tobuild and equip the road from Lake Snperf»r acrossMinnesota to the Red River of the North—483 miles.The grading on this division is now well advanced,the Iron Is being rapidly luid: several thousand menare at work on tbe line, aud about the tint of Au-gust next, this important section of the rond will beIn full operation. In the meantime orders have beensent to the Pacific coast for the commencement o'the work on the western end in early Spring, andthereafter the work will be pushed, both esstwardand westward, with as muchsiucdns may be con*sistent with solidity and a wise economy.
K o o e i v a b l e f o r l ^ a n d s —These bonds willbe at all times receivable, at 1 10, in payment for theCompany's lands, at their lowest cash price.
B o n d * K x c l i a n c e a b l e —The registeredboudscan be exchanged at any time for coupons, tbecoupons for registered, ind both these can be ex-changed for others, payable, principal aud interest*at any of the principal financial centers of Europe,In the coin of the various European countries.

An obituarv notice in the DexterijeaiUr gives the following sketch of .Mis.SALLY DANIELS, who died at the residence
of her son-in-law. Dr. AMOS QUAY, OU the
tith Inst., !n the 85th year of her age :Mrs. Daniels was one of the oldest set-
tlers of Washtonnw county, bhe was twicemarried—her first husband being Mr. Syl-vunus .Noble, who came to Ann Arbor In1823, and assisted in erecting the first logshanties th^re, among which was the oldRamsey Lo^ Tavern. Mrs. IS'oble nnd fam-ily followed him in the fall of 1824, and re-moved to Dexter the following year. Thelate Judge bamuvl VV. Dexter was the onlyperson then settled here, and for two yearsthey were on the extreme frontier—therehciiiK no white settlers between them andLuke Michigan—experiencing all the dangers and privations of frontier life. InMay, 182!), her husband died, leaving herin the wilderness to provide for six children ; but she was possessed of wonderfulcourage aud fortitude, relying faithfully,as she did, on her Heavenly Father forstrength. In 1843 she was married to Na-thaniel Daniels, and a^ain left a widow in1851 | since which time she has residedwith her son-in-law, Dr. Gray. The de-ceased was the mother »f Kev. Louis L.and Frank E. Noble, of Jersey City, andMrs. Dr. Gray and Mrs. Stephens, of thisplace ; who, though deeply bereaved, yethave the assurance that she died as shelived, possessed of a " peace that passeth
the sure hope of aShe was a faithful
understanding"—" inblessed immortality."and consistent member of the Episcopalchurch, nnd her life had been one of self-sacrifice to her God. Though she had suf-fered much from sickness in late years, yether patience and resignation will ever beremembered by her children, who willcherish her sainted memory and rise up tocall her blessed.
The following, from the New YorkIt orltl, Is but another evidence of the truthof the old saying " you must go from homoto learn the news ":
A notable meeting took place at Ann Ar-bor Michigan, a week or two ago, when forthe first time Miss Anna Dickinson andMiss Lilian S. Edgarton laid eyes uponeach other. They were counterparts longsundered, the former being, as all the worldknows, a pretty, petulant, fiery little bru-nette, and the latter an imperial blonde, amassive Alruna maiden who might havesung to the "wolves of the Goths" insearch of Asirard. Miss Dickinson is anunflinching advocate of woman's right tovote, but Miss Edgarton thinks womenshould not lie enfranchised. For a longtime they had vainly yearned for each oth-er, but at last they met at a hotel in AnnArbor, and each exclaiming " 'tis she,"they rushed like torrents into each othersarms, or, rather, the superb blonde openedher arms and the small brunette nestledwithin them, purring like a little brownkitten. Henceforth they would be ns sis-ters, and the last that was seen of themwas a tableau of the brunette sitting onthe blonde's knee, while both sipped fromthe snine tumbler ft liquid which the in-genious hotel-clerk ctilled a hot lemonade'• with a frluge."
Monday evening last, the Good Tem-plars of Ann Arbor Lodge gave a rervpleasant evening's entertainment 5ti theirnew rooms In Paul's Block, on Main strrvt,The exercises consisted of speeches, cha-rades, tableaux, and a dramatic piece,with music Interspersed. Prof. BILLARD,the Worthy Chief, opened the exercises ina few neat and appropriate remarks, refer-ring to the cause of temperance aud itsnecessities, ami expressing a belief thatfinal success would come from obstinateand uutirlng perseverance, and strict ob-servance of their motto, " Faith, Hope, andCharity." He was followed by Dr. COCKKKin a brief but pertinent, pointed and pleas-ing speech, which tended to encourage theworkers in the good cnuse, and add newlife and vigor to an old, but not woru-outsubject. Remarks were then made by oth-er gentlemen, and the programme of exer-cises gone through fflSh, The entire enter-tainment was pleasing, save the annoyanceof a few boys—we won't call them younggcntlemeu—who had more candies in theirpockets than brains In their head, and whowere constantly throwing them among theaudience.
A moderately filled hou<e greetedGOLDWIN B u m , Tuesday evening last, up-on the occasion of his lecture, entitled " ATrip Through England." To say that thelecture gave general satisfaction, wouldhardly be truthful. His delivery was verypoor, his voice not at all adapted to publicspeaking, and his pronunciation thorough-ly English ; add to this the impolite andexceedingly selfish action of some, whonot being able to understand well, took itupon themselves to depart, thereby keepingup a general stir, and one can imagine thedifficulties with which those In the rear ofthe church labored. Our reporter foundhimself in this locality, so It would be verydifficult for him to give a synopsis of thelecture. I t is but justice to the lecturer,however, to say that those who were so for-tunate as to be within hearing distance,commend what he said very highly.
At a regular meeting of Ann ArborLodge, No. 320,1. O. O. T., held Feb. 8th,1871, the following were Installed officersfor the present term :

The rnilroad meeting held on Satur -day cvcnlog last, was largely attended andreasonably enthusiastic, though its resultsremain yet to be seen. After a report ofthe condition and prospects of the company,followed by the usual talk, Messrs. S. H.Douglass, C. Mack, J . F . Miller, H. G. Wll.Hams, Geo. H. Rhodes, and J . A. Scott,were appointed a committee to procure thenecessary additional stock subscriptions.These ought to be obtained within a week,the line established, and the work putunder contract. But talk won't do it, gen-tlemen. Those "solid men"—sec Tribune'slint—must down with their namcuand "the

per about the first of November, ofNight -School for colored persons. Meetings had previously been field1, and thenames of thirty persons were said to besecured, (*ief agreeing to pay 15 cents aweek for two nights of Instruction. Agentleman of the University, who had hadexperience In teaching sncli'schools* at theeast, offered his services, at a moderatecompensation, and the colored peo'ple wefeassured, that If they would attend and paythe small fee, that any extra expense wouldbe met without calling upoii them.
Notwithstanding these' favorable circum-stances, the school, after having had a fee-ble existence for three months, has beengiven up. Scarcely a third of those whowere Bald to be pledged to attend haveshown any Interest. The few persons reallyInterested, and on whose account the clos-ing of the school is to be regretted, havebeen those who had made some progressIn education. As the parties who were In-strumental in establishing this school, cannot be expected again to make a simlUreffort, It Is deemed proper to report thecause o.' failure.
It Is to be regretted that the colored peo-ple generally are so Indifferent as to theirimprovement. Many adultft are unable toread. Very few have received commonschool education. Comparatively few col-ored children are In the schools of the city,although they are open to them with thename privileges that white children enjoy.The School Board has uVeti allowed the at-tendance of adults, though not required todo so. The colored population of Ann Ar-bor !s about 300.
Our Colored friends should know that ItIs not by societies—whether ierjrtl oropen—or amusements,- that they are to at-tain the position of respected and usefulcitizens, as well a» promote their own bestwelfare In the opinion of the presentwriter, the Interests of this part of ourcommunity would be best secured by theirhaving »rr)onWi_ them a Pastor—a m&n,whether of thilr own race or not—of edu-cation, ;one to svhom they would look up,and who would feel himself charged withtheir temporal as well IB eternal Interests.
A FllIBND TO THE COLORED PEOFLR.
Jtfff rsonlan K< union.The seventh annual re union wrio held
last Wednesday evening at Hangsterfer'sHall. There was a very foil attendance ofthe members, besides the Law FacultyProf. TYLER, Prof. PALMER, Dr. GOLDWIN
SMITH, of Cornell University, the reportersof the city papers, and rdrJcJrters of theDetroit Tribune and fret Press.
After the supper, which was preceded bya few pleasing remarks by the President,J . R. BOND, two addresses, one in behalf ofthe Senior and the other In behalf of theJunior class, the former by G. W. C O L E , ofSt Helena, Cal.i and th« latter by R J.HAIUE, of Jackson, were delivered, followedby a poem by J . Q. W I N G , B. A., of Auroru>III. Both of tho addresses were excellent,and the poem did credit to Its author.
These were followed by toasts whichwere responded to by Judge CAMPBELL,Dr. SMITH, Prof. PALMER, Prof. TYLKR,
and several others. This part was by nomeans below the rest of the exercises, andJudge CAMPBELL, SO popular with the boysat all times, did credit to himself by hiswitticisms and sound advice. Dr. SMITH'S?Prof. TVLER'S , and Prof. PALMER'S were
also pleasing and appropriate. Every-thing passed off admirably, and one thingto be noticed and commended, was that noliquor was drank by any one, which cannot be said of some of the society re-uuions. X.

DF.AU SIR—In the last, number of the
ARGUS IS a communication from DAX. R.SHIRE, In which he attempts to explain andJustify the cntcrtalnnieni given In Salineby some of lite young men of Ypsilantl.Mr. StlmB takes pains to inform us thatthe same entertainment Was given In Ypsl-lautl; and is particular to state the charac-ter of the audience, and of the families rep-resented by the young men. Our friendthen gives the circumstances of the eutcr-tainment coming to Saline, how much theyoung men made, and how much the ladiesof Saline realized for their piano fund. Wequestion none of these statements; and allthis alters not the fact that the entertain-ment as giveu In Saline was a big sell, ex*cept the music by Prof. PKASE. And as tothe opinion of the people of Saline, wethink we are as eapable of judging as Mr.S. And that he may not deceive himselfin this matter, we will inform him that Inpublic nnd private, on the street and in thesocial circle, we have heard it condemned ;and we have yet to hear an approvingword. As to our ability to appreciatedmmatic performances, we confess that-uch a performance as came to Saline, weare unable to appreciate, especiallyclosing scene ntid the dancing behind
thethe
curtain, and in this we have glorious goodcompany.

With the new year the Company extends its protection to its new pal-rons by issuing a more liberal policy than heretofore, containing fewer re-strictions on occupation, residence and travel, which is designed to meetthe demands of the times—Americans being ~pie. The insured are by its policies pormitt©
ng proverbially a traveling peo-itted to travel OT reside in anyany
part of the world within the Temperate Zones, without the troublesomenecessity of procuring a permit, or the imposition of an extra charge.—No restrictions are imposed upon occupations, except upon the few whichare recognized as specially hazardous.
The new Special KON-FORFEITING features just adopted will still moreincrease the Well known popularity ot" the NATIONAL. It is a modificationof the Massachusetts Law, DUt shorn of its disadvantages. A few exam-ples will show the difference between the Massachusetts non-forfeiture lawand the Plan adopted by this Company.
By the Massachusetts Law a policy, issued at age 45, premiums for life,after 5 annual payments, will remain in force 4 years and 306 days alterthe payments cease ; but the unpaid premiums with interest at 6 percent, are permitted to be deducted from tJie policy if it becomes a claimbefore the expiration of the Term Insurance.
By the Special non-forfeiting plan of the NATIONAL, the same kind ofpolicy at 8arab age, after 5 annual payments, would be exchanged for apaid up Term Policy extending 4 years and 73 days ; and should the in-sured die before the expiration of that time, the full amount of the policyWould be paidt
In the case of a ten annual payment Ordinary Life policy, issued at age40, after 5 annual payments the Massachusetts Law gives Term Insurancefor nearly 14J years—subject to deductions of unpaid premiums as beforestated.
Suppose the insured dies just before the Term Insurance expires) hispremiums, $61.68 (on §1,000) at (5 per cent. int. for 5 years (to the end ofthe ten years) and interest continued till the fourteen years expire, willamount to $560.40, which, deductol from the amount of the policy, willleave $439.60 actual insurance.
The same kind of policy, in the NATIONAL, at the same age, and costingonly $46.45 per $1000 for the ten years, after 5 annual payments, wouldbe exchanged for a paid up Term Policy, for the full amount of the orig-inal policy, extending nearly 12 years.
The same Special non-forfeiting features applied to Endowment insur-ance, results still more in favor of the policies issued by the NAfioiiAi,.(See examples of the workings of this plan as applied to Endowments inthe Company's Kate Circular.)
The forcgojng illustrations nre based upon cash premiums—the premi-ums in tho NATIONAL are always cash ; most of the Massachusetts Com-panies allow a choice of all cash or part note or loan. Had the illustra-tions been calculated upon the loan plan (varying from 30 per cent, to 50per cent note) the result would have still further favored the all-cash, non-participating rates of the Stock Plan of insurance as practiced bv theNATIONAL ; tho outstanding notes, with interest, in addition to the unpaidpremiums being deducted from the amount of the policy.
In addition to this Special non-forfeitina plan, the NATIOWAI, still re-tains its former plan of non-forfeiture of giving paid-up policies for pro-portionate amounts of the original policies. The insurer must elect at thetime of making hie application, upon which plan of non-forfeiture he willhave his policy written. The choice cannot be made at the time of sur-render or change.

There is eofHethiiiR the matter with my Lirer," Iithe observation of at least 'persons, when questioned Iand it Is a well-known truth, that disease rjf thel.ivcr Is the most common ailment the physician hasto contend with although he Is geneially called uponto meet it in the farm of Fovors, Ajrue, NervousProstration, and other acute maladlm of which dis-order of the Liver Is the producing cause.

The final result. if these symptoms ar« disregard-ed are different kinds of Fever, Rhenmatism*. Diar*rhci. General Prostration of Nervous System, end-ing In Jaundice or Consumption. The Livor is themost sensitive organ in the human structure, exceptthe Lungs, and so long as decomposition of vege-table matter continues, malaria arises, and the pres-ent habits of life are indulged, so long Liver Com-plaint will be common. As there is no prospect ofthese conditions being obviated, hence the necessityof employing agents to c interact their influence.
In selecting and proportioning the ingredients ofDr. K?Uogg's Liver Invigorator. special attentionbaa been had to compound a preventive and enreforBlli'Mis Disorders of every type.

The first and m ist i bvious reflectioni« that n nation of forty tnilli'ins of peopie, rich, industrious, oncrgotiu ond in-trejud, must compriso resources whichno eiH-iny couli) venture to dfsniae. TheAmericans had no army in I860, but in1862 thev had hundreds of tlious' n Is ofsoldiers in tho field. They had nouavy, ami yet iu a f<*w months' timethey produced u powerful fleet of newand formidable) fit{'itiof?-ship». In thecourse of five years they raised and*pent. upward of £600,000,000, andsuch is the magnitude of their nationalrosonrees that what they did in the civilwar they could eertainly, on a similarimpulse, do over again. All this i*true p but we, &.I1J0, area people of thirtymillions; our wealth and credit arepractically inexhaustible; ami the mostinveterate nlurinist would not seruplo toadmit that our national spirit, onceroused, would be oapable of any effortsor sacrifice*. On ) advantage, it mustbe owned, tho AmericauH do certainlyenjoy—they are a long way off It. is n"far cry" to Washington, and tho Prus-sians ohsorved ns much to onr corres-pondent in explanation of their patienceunder American offendings. But ilnsconsideration does not touch Americancommerce, or the liabilities of the i avy,•which, as the President remarks, in theonly instrument at the command of theTInior. oitber ror national defense or theenforcement of any foreign policy.
We must look elsewhere, therefore,for tho explanation we are seeking, andit will bo found, we believe, so far as itis applicable at all, in the known re: diness as well as ability of the American.-*to fit;ht, notwithstanding their practicalappreciation ol tho benefits of peaceTheir exposed poiuts are comparativelyfew, their resources are unbounded, and,though they do not desire war, theywould not be slow to accept n challenge.We, on the other hand, have manypoints exposed, we make no secret of ouravoriion for war, ond it is alleged thatalmost any provocation might bo offeredwith impunity. In these considerationsthere is a certain force ; but we mustnow say that, in our opiuion, the con-trast itself from beginning to end is moreapparent than real. We do not believethat what is sometimes said of us is ac-tually thought either in America or else-where. The people who taunt us withreluctance to hVlit are mostly those who, jfor purposes of their own, desire to seeus fighting. As a matter of fact, womay take it for granted that foreignStates have not the mean opiuion of us•which we aro occasionally pleased toSuppose. That we aro not sudden orquick in quarrel, they know very well,but they also know that we can fight ifwe choose, that our power is truly for-midable, and that when we begin a warjro aro not in a hurry to leave off. To acertain extent they may presume, DOdoubt, on our love of peace ; but at tbobottom they take a juster measure of onrtemper and resources than- inight be in-ferred from their occasional sneers aodour own candid comments. When itwas declared that England by the mereexpression of her will could have pre-Tetited a war between the two mostpowerful natrons of "Europe, the beliefitself might, have been false; but theMate of opinion which it implied wasfur nearer the truth than that which hasbeen since represented for our warning
