she had‘ the opportunity. Now you get your reward

One of the pleasant sights to be seen on the streets
of Washington of a sunny morning in this month of
April :-—-An elegant and open carriage, within which
are an elderly gentleman, a serene and smiling wo-
man, and three‘ or four bright-faced children. If ‘
you chance, as I sometimes do, to stand in the post.
office as their carriage drives up and stops, you may
hear the children speak of “ grandpsfi’ and. as for
me, I respond in my breast that “ grandfather" is the
name he should bear—this quiet and white-haired
gentleman in whose face is evidence that he has do ,9
It is G .
Buckingham, with his daughter and her little girls.
3He is one of those men whose name is asked by
strangers looking down hem the galleries of the:
Senate chamber. One sees something of resignation
in his countenance, us if he had known griefs and
sorrows and were now waiting in the contentment
born of communion with things spiritual. One sees
charity and patience, also, as if he had learned the
frailty of human endeavor and the need for kindly
thought among men. Perhaps, too, at times, a
gleam of manly and honorable satisfaction, in that
years of public service are crowned with the crown.
of this seat in the nation’s high place. However one
looks at it, ,his is ”a face tobrlng resifulness and seem
of what is low and mean. ' .
His whole public life is that eta gentleman. There
is more of courtesy in his “ if my friend will allow
me," when he rises to interrupt a speaker, than some
senators show in a year. The sharpest and most
crabbed of all his associates is never sharp and
crabhed with him. He hardly seems to belong to
our driving and pushing and self-seeking times; his
ways are gentle as those of a woman, hismanner the
perfect new" of that breeding wthh has its root in
a humane and generOus heart. ‘ . - _
I saw him tried one day last spring. While I talked
with him in the chamber before the session opened,
there came up a young man who wanted an office, in
fact gclerkship in the Treasury Department. The
Govérnos knew nothing whatever of him personally.
but hqd signed hlspapers with the other members of
Now. he wished the Senator to go to Mr. ‘ Boutwell
and demand his appointment as a favor to himself.
“ But. I cannot do that," said the Governor: “ I
don't know you; I signed your letter, because Mr—
of the House,.asked me to do so; but I cannot go
and ask your appointment as a favor personal to my-
self." The fellow would not be put on; he was de-
this thing: and kept at him till I was indignant
enough to slap him in the face. The Governor en-
duredhimfor ten minutes: and finally ausWered,
more, new." Then he turned to me, and when the
ofilce-beggar hud gone, said, “I didn’t mean to be
brush with him, but he has been at my rooms “sent
that matter, and has annoyed me a great deal.’ .
No man in the Senate is more faithful to his duties
than Mr. Buckingham. High and broad forehead,
large and strong nose, long white hair, kindly and
tender eyes, shaveu chin and throat. white aide wh‘is—
kers, sunken and fur-rowed cheeks, high cheek bones,
projec ' brows, a face of empathy and peaceful-
uess— s is the pictureof themes. And there he
dering, as I sometimes fancy, why men should wran-
gle with such passion in the way to an end of 'com-
mon desire, and why judgment and conviction cannot
be put into vote-without somueh useless talk.
They have a custom in the Senate that almost has .
the force of a written rule—senators must be seen
rather than heard during the first year of service.
t I think itis inclination alone that makes Gov-
member. His manner in speaking is colloquial and
not oratorieal—not that of one making a speech, but
of a modest man talking item the ripeness of a long
experience. He has spoken more on financial tepiés
than on any other:' His methods are practical,- and
saver, in no degree, of empirlcism. Combattili'g the.
absurd notion that all our dlfiicultles will vanish if,
you only. decree by an act of Congress that there
shall be an equal distribution of currency among the
states, as if moneydidu't always nowhere it is most
in demand, he tersely said he thought this pro rata
distribution of currency about on a par with the
principle that one man is entitled to as much prop,
erty as'another. Which! looked upon as a neat way
of puttiuga truth for the benefit of legislative tinkers
and meddlers.
4 snares mar. '
one of the touching and pitiful sights to be seen
on the-streets near the Treasury Department of a
morning during the present session of Congress :—
A man yet in the prime of' life; walking slowly and
carefully with a heavy cane, looking out at one from
eyes that tell of pain and mental confilct 'wltll bodily
weakness and yuiferlng. It 'is General Ferry, bat-
tling day by day with the wearing and insiduous
attacks of a spinal disease. We who meet him thus
on the street or see him at the Senate in the discharge
of hls duties sometime question with ourselves which
will come out victor in the end—the hidden and 'lm-
placahle disease, or the will of the man aided by the
weapon of medical skill. It is something of comfort
to say that he is much better than he was two or
three months ago, and that he can now walk from
his room to the capitol. The Stan and the nation
could better spare another man. _
. For he is of weight in the labors of the time, and
his voice is always fofiloderation andliberul justice.
We of. the North and the South cannot always re-
main at war; these ex-rebels must sometime be re-
lieved of their burdens. so that they may aid in the
building of the new.natfon ou'the foundation of the
Fifteenth Amendment. He is foremost in seeing the
brighter day and the larger way. A year- age he
said: “ I believe the great body of the people of all
parties are prepared for an act which shall sweep
away' these political disabilities, except .in a few
cases.” And thus he eloquently sets forth his hopes
'and leanings: '
. back the South!” Our hearts are longing
4 for the old Union.
4 and she] , but to build up her ruined cities,
' on the question ofgiviug naturalized citizens the
,this lnngnage there is no shuililng and no vagueness
,whut faith he has in the goodness and integrity and
humanity of the people,
liquors as a beverage, and consequently drunkenness
- are too notorious to be disputed.
Our blood beats high
for_'ihe restoration of the old fraternity
which once distinguished the people of ihese‘.
states. But, sir, we feel that, returning,
thoselatel in arms .should return in the
spirit of mericauJibel-ly. We feel that
returning thus, they will help us to establish
the edifice‘of state upon foundations that can
never be moved. And, sir, the South is
coming back—not now encumbered by
slavery and darkened by.’ secession; but
clothed in the garments of freedom and with
the sunshine of loyalty illuminating her
blows; 'comin back to take her place in
the councils o the nation and the hearts of
the people. And the North is going forth
to her. Our ships shall go, not now to block
up her commerce and bombard her cities,
but to open the channels of that commerce
and carry her products to the remotcst na-
tions-of the globe and bring back to her
their varied wealth. Our capital shall go,
not new to dread devastation and be annihi-
lated in unpov'vder and the crash of shot
to whiten her fields once more with the har-
vest,4to make her mountain streams vocal
with the hum of the spindle and the loom.
Our men shall go there, not now in battle
and and with-the‘panoply of war, but with
the lmplemenis of peace to till hér deserted
fields and make her waste placesbud and.
blossom as the. rose. Sir, all these results ,
are not to be accomplished at once; perhaps
this generation may pass away before the
asperilies and the heart-burnings that buys
been engendered b ears of controversy
and other yours 0 _CiVi1 'war shall disap-
pear ;' but the time is coming when our chil-
dren at least, if not we Ourselves, from the
North to the South, and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific shall be in unityj—‘oncjn sen-
timent; one in character, one in institutions;
and then the voice of the people 'shall be
once more indeed as the voice of God." .
No other member of the Senate has so “ dlpt into
the future” and seen “ the vision 1 of the world and
all the wonder that will .b'ej'flll that day of ours when
the war drums throb no longer and the battle-flags
are'filrled. See, too,‘what bread ground he takes
same protection when abroad as is given to native-
born citizeusr. "_ In my Opinion. it is time that civil-
ized nations shpnld agree with each other to give
their citizens the right to change their homes and
transfer their allegiance; it is time that the law of
nations should be changed so far as the doctrine Of
perpetual allegiance is concerned; and I would give
the President full power in the piemises to extend
the some pretettion .te naturalized citizens abroad
that our laws confer on native-born citizens.” In
Of meaning. It is as clear aud‘direct as an order on
the battle-field. _ 4
I count General Ferry a valuable man because he
has such alstrong common-seasoned is so true to his
convictions. In that far—elf winter of 1800—01 he saw
what the plotting Southerners .méant, and in the fa-
mous committee of thirty-three in the House he .
stood firmsgaiust any form of compromise imper-
illlng either the honor or the dignity of iherepublic.
Two years ago both parties in Congresd bent before
the demsgogues and made speed to pass the eight-
hour law. Senator Ferry was one of the brave and
far-seeing few who would not yield to this impudent
demand. Note" the strong and manly words in which
he spoke his rebuke and warning:
“ In this countr the agitation for an eight-
hour law did not egin with the industrious
laborer, but with clamorous demagogue's in
search of votes. . And, air, as a principle,
instead of being a benefit to the American
working-man, it is striking a dead] blow
at his rights. ,If I Were in his place would
never consent that the government under
which I live should interfere either with my
rates of wages or my hours of labor; and
sooner or luterthe workingmen of the coun-
try will awaken to the danger of permit-
ting such le islation to be considered a part
of the righ ul operation of government.”
As a speaker General Ferry is rapid and lucrsive.
He,plainly sees his mark, and drives forward to it
with a directness of purpose as rare as it is com-
mendable. In his three years of service I do not re-
call that he has but once spoken so long as forty-five
minutes. He excels as p debator, and speaks always
with a sort of intense earnestness. I fancy a scorn.
in his face at times of these long-winded men and
these men who balance between two ways. He gets
impatient of persons who talk for the sake of talk,
and has something of Mr. Fessenden’s contempt for
those who truckle and get weak-knead before popu-
lar clamor. He and that dead statesman were the
only Senators who dated to vote agalnst the Alaska
purchase humbug, ‘ though several. others spoke
against it. He sits much with his hand to his chin
and a questioning look in his eyes. 1 note often

CONTAINING REASONS FOR SOME NEW AND
MORE EFFECTUAL METHOD FOR THE SUP-
PRESSION BY LAW OF THE EVILS or INTEM-
PERANCE.
The uu ' ,_ igned desires that it may be undegstood
that in ap ‘ ding his signature to the foregoing re-
port, he intends to express only a hearty concurrence
in the result to which the committee has arrived, but
entertaining certain views Of his own, some of which
are of a special character, he deems it proper to pres.
sent those viewsin an additional paper, that they
may receive such an appreciation by the General As-
sembly an honorable members may deem just and
reasonable. To, this end he reapcctfully submits the
following remnrks:
1. The n ersigncd, in view of facts sufficiently
authenticated, has felt constrained to come to the
Conclusion that the use of spirituous or intoxicating
have, within the last few years, greatly increased in
this Commonwealth, and he sees little or no pros-’
poet of any considerable dimunltion of the evil un-l
less both the legislature and the people can be strong-
ly attracted to the subject; and aimueh more efi'ectiye
policy adopted for its suppression than that hitherto
pursued. ‘
9. The facts from which this conclusion is drawn.
Inquiries institu-
ted by this cemmittee, though not carried to the -
tent contemplated, confirm it, and the financial rec-
ords oi the general government contribute power-
fully to the same result. ' , ,
'3. These records, as printed, do not inform us, in
express ~terms,what.number of persons and compa-
nies were in this State engaged in the spirituous liq-
uor trafiic during the last financial year, which end-
ed with the 30th of June, 1869. But we can get an
approximation to the number by calculation. We
thus learn that the persons or cencerns engaged ir‘
vending such liquors by retail during that year in
this State, was not less than two thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five—each paying an excise tax
into the national treasury at andsfter the rate of 325
per anuum. To do justice to this subject, we must
augment this number by bringing in many more who.
were clandestinely engaged in this business ‘aud es-
caped the vigilauée of the natioilal authorities. No
doubt a large majority of those prosecuting the re-
tail trade, probably seven, if not nine-tenths, sold
liquor to he drank 'entheir ~"pl-cruises, or, in. other
words, kept grog-shops; and if we include in our es-
tim _ ope selling‘liquor clandestinely, it_ is not all
extravagant, in thejudgenlent of the undersigned, to~
amrm that we had in this State, in' 1869,“ least.
twenty-five hundred of these wretched establish-
ments: and it is certain that we have not one less at
the present‘hour. - ‘
4. The evil then is flagrant. and should, if possi-
ble, be abated. _ How is this 'to be done 7 Theunder-
argued does not hesitate to expresss the opinion that
one of the most important agencies to be put into'ac:
tlviiy and, perhaps the most important, is moral sua-
sion; but unfertnuntely, moral-suuslon alone cannot
do a perfect work; This element has long been vigor--
eusly'employsd in Connecticut-The press, the pulpit
and the lecture room have been tried and are ontapo-r
ken on this subject. _'1‘hey have imploréd,remonstra-
ted and denounced in vain. No [not wholly in vain,
for there is no telling into what an abyss we might
have plunged had it not been for these appeals. No
doubt the press, the pulpit, and the lecture room
have saved many, and parental inculcations and vig-
ilance many more. As conservative powers, exercis-
ing a salutary preventive influence, these agencies
a're invaluable. But how can theyreach ‘a proprietor
ofa grog-shop 7 How the miserable victim's ofhis
seduction, which opens to them "the'wlde gate and
the broad way that ieadeth to destruction.” ‘
ii. 'It seems to the undersigned that we can never
obtain in this State anything approaching to an ex-
oneration from this great social evil until moral sna-
slon is effectually reinforced by legal suasiom— and
this is not our present condition, and has not been
for many years past. ' , .
6., No One can appreciate more highly than I do,
the motives of those who flamed and caused to be
enacted the not often, entitled “an act for the sup-
preaslon ofintemperance." and also, the motives of
the many good citizens who have from time to time
endeavored to enforce its provisions, but so far as
nine-tenths of the State are concerned, it has been
found, and is this day, no utter failure in all the cit-
ies and large villages, thatis to say. in all the great
centers of business and p'opulation. Where repress-
ive measures are most needed, the act is not and will
not be enforced at all. and I regret to be obliged to
add. that-the same state ‘of things exists in many if
net most of the towns or rural districts. This fail-
ure may be due, partly, to the peculiar nature or
character of the more prominent provisions of the
act, and partly, or perhaps mostly, to the fact. that no
_ (after giving the subject much consideration, and is.
Discussed by “1° non. Tr nman Smith, fine hundred dollars nor more than five hundred, and
' much to «the cause of temperance 'I DO not. the pro-
’ time, declare it to be unlawful and lay a heavy hand
gurstedfor its enforcement. To leave an act so sc-
-verely penal, and highly stringent, to be carried into
efiect by the ordinary agencies of a criminal prosecu-
tion, or by proceedings in rem for a forfeiture of the
alcoholic element, after seizure, waste: subject the
issue, in either case, to the action of 3 Jury of tw'elve
men, who, to act at all, must be unanimous, and
among whom there would be, in most cases, some
entertaining sentiments of hostility to the law, and
others, perhaps, interested in preventing its execu-
tion, and to thus defeat a large majority of prosecu- -
lions, and render theuct substantially impracticable.
1'. Hence, unless waste to have in most parts of
the State this deplorable irailic whelly‘ unrestricted,
and those engaged in it without any responsibilities
whatever other than such as are moral, (and how far.
these are likely to operate let the past and the pres—
ent testify,) we must have an entire new sysiefif
legal repression and prevention, one that is full of'
life and vigor, and that so far consults public senti-
ment that it can be everywhere enforced. This will
in the first instance greatly alleviate existing evils
and ultimaiely deliver. our good old state in a great
degree from them, and make it what it once was,
“the land of steady habits,” in the enforcement of
wise and salutary laws, the maintenance of good or-
dcr, and the practice of sobrietyand sound morality
everywhere within its borders.
8. Fortunately it is in thejudgement of the under:
signed, in our power to combine with this important
object a full realization of the benefitent policy sug-
gested for our consideration by the last General As-
sembly, to wit: the establishment of an institution
at some suitable point in this State for the reformu-
tion of inebrlates. To establish such an institution
is one thiilg; to maintain it, a totally difi‘erentthing
—bqtb, and particularly the latter, requiring 'very
considerable, if not large expenditures, and it is due
to the frankness which the ‘ undersigned desires
should ever characterize his course, that he should
avow that in the present financial condition of the
State, be is not in favor of taking-the means; the
realization of either the one objector the othér‘ cm
the State treasury, but he insists that the whole hur-
den should be imposed on a traillc Which is fraught
with little else than mischief to society. The ground ‘
which he takesis, that these who make drunkards
should both support and reform druukurds, and thht
position he inpeuds to maintain invincible however
and by whemsoever the same may lie assailed.
_ 9. To illustiate the sense of ~ the undersigned
touching the character of the measure which should
be adopted to realize both object", he has prepared,
ken the advice of several highly competent persons,»
a bill for a public not (hereunto annexed) declaring
the trafiic in spirituous or intoxicating ’liqnors un-
lawful, cstahllshlng rules and regulations adopted to
obviate, so far usls practicable, the evils re suiting
from that traffic, and extracting therefrom ample re-
sources to' build up and maintain an institution such
as has been indicated. ' V
10. The undersigned is aware. that molly gno'd cit.
lzen are conspientiously opposed to what is usually
denominated a license law—u sentiment for which
he feels a great respect, and in which he participates
toys certain extent. For this reason, in preparing
the annexed bill, be rejected all idea of a license, the
effect of which would be to make the trafile lawful,
though for moral reasons it would be highly censur-
uble. He deems it best to declare it unlawful, and to
keep it so at all .times so that no sale of the alcoholic
elementcun ever become the basis ol‘u valid coa-
traCt. But the undersigned proposes to tolerate it
to a certain extent, anduuder heavy responsibilities.
‘ He submits the question whether restricted tolera-
tion in conformity to law, is not better than tolera»
tion in defiance of all law; and this is exactly the
difi’erence between the system proposed and the one
which new obtains—between this bill if enacted into
a law, and the prohibitory act of 1854. The under-
signed considers a non-executed penal law, And, par-
ticularly one that is so highly stringent as is the act
ef’b'l, a very great evil, as its tendency is to destroy
all reverence for the lawmsking power, and to un-
dermine the~very foundation‘s on which society rests.
11. It being apparent that no essential alleviation
of the evils resulting from this trufiic-cun be attained
by direct prohibitibn,it is proposed to organize [as
per the five'first sections of the accompanying bill]
a system for scrutinizing, bya competent board in
each county, those who engage in this business. both
as to character and the probable magnitude or ex-
tent thereof, and to exact from them an indemnity
in favor of the public, far beyond the penalties im-
posed by the act of isof. According'to the ‘8th sec-
tion of that act. the punishment for selling intoxica-
ting liquor,_contrary to its provisions is, fertile first
ofi‘ense, a fine of $20; for the' second offense, a fine of
330: and for every subsequent offense 9. fine of 8100
and imprisonment in the County goal for a period of
not less than three nor more than six months. It is
believed that there has not been‘b singlc case in the
State during the sixteen yesfs which have elapsed
Since the enactment of that law, where prosecution
has been carjried to'a third offense: very few where
it has reached a second ofl‘ense,—aud.of the vast mul-
titude of violations incessantly committed, not one
out Of many thousands are, in most .ts ofthe
State, prosecuted at all. .
In place of this miserable state of things it is pro-
posed to take from every person or concern who eu-
gages in this trnillc, an amount per unnum [to be
axed by the cpunty commissioners] of not less than
to impose on them certain criminal responsibilities,
[vide sections 6 and 7 of the bill] and also certain
civil responsibilities, [vide sections 11, 12, 13 and 143
which will render the trafiic at all times hazardous,
and induce those engaged in it to :10th a salutary
caution. They will,.in the judgment Of the under-
signed, be quite certain to abandon all the worst
practices which now characterize their course. It is
submitted that the effect of the 7th, 11th 12th, 13th
and 14th sections will be to isolate the dmnkard and
to place him in such a situation that few, undper-
haps none, would dare to furnish him with the means
of self-destruction. Would we not in this way gain
posed responsibilitles rest on a solid foundation, to
wit, that of reason andjustice I Would there be any
difficulty in enforcing them 2 Ought not the batter-
ed wife of a wretched drunkard to have some in dem-
nity f Ought not the hard working people of our
towns to be exonerated from the burden of support-
ing paupers, made such by the rumseller ‘2 It is be-
lieved that public sentiment will abundantly sustain
any legislniibn based on an affirmatlvo answer to
these questions. ‘
12. But by far the meat important of the provis-
ions contuincd in the proposed enactment, is to be
found in the 17th andlSth sections, which contem-
plate calling ihto activity the equity powers of our:
courts for the, purpose of preventing violations of the
act by injunctions—a remedy of unusual efficacy and
power, first, in detecting such' violations," and sec-
ondly, in'preveutlug repetitions of them with modes
of treatment and agencies for ascertaining facts such.
as are adapted to relieve the dlfiiculties now experi-
enced in efiorts to enforce the act of 1854. ,
- 13. The undersigned is disc of the opibiOlr that
where there are in any town a majority of the elect-
ors who‘ are in favor of totally excluding therefrom
the sale Of intoxicating liquors to be used as a bever-
age. the power to make such exclusion should be ac-
corded to them, and for this, provision is made in
section 19 of the proposed act, and in section 20a
thriller prevision to prevent an evasion of the deter- '
minatlon of the majority, in a ma'nner and by means
which are not now unknown in some parts of the
State.
The undersigned is far from believing that theme-
posed methorfiof treating this-subjectis the only one
that couldb'e adopted with success. Perhaps other
schemes might be suggested better adapted to realize
the object in view. If so, let them he developed at
once, for the case ls-urgellt, nudrcquires prompt and
vigorous treatment. The undersigned was put on
this committee without any agency of his own, and
he has devoted himself assiduously_to the discharge
ofthe duty thence arising, He was constrained at
Circe to recognize the fact, that this, his native State
—which he so long had the honor to represent in "our
national eonncils—is-disgraced by dram drinking and
drunkenneés. It seemed to him that we should have
some institution for the reformation of iliebriutes.
This brought up the question of ways and means and
opened to‘ the undersigned the present condition of
our laws, how executed, and their practicability and
value. In the course of his inquiries, he' discovered_
the astounding“ fact, the authorities of the United-
Stateaduring’the financial year ending with the 30th
of June, 1869, collected in this State out of the retail
trufiic in spirituous liquors, [largely dram-selling.)
$69,392.70, and out of the wholesale trufiic, 514,740.61,
making an aggregate of $84,138.31; and they are cer-
tain to get an equal amount during the current year
all of which was obtained last year, and will be this,
out of a business which is carried on in direct viola-
tion of our laws. The undersigned is for humaniz-
ing the two systems, and for making, by passing the
proposed biil,'the laws of is State to full” on lines
in coincidence with those copied by the laws of the
United States.‘ The national government merely
looks to the fact of the existence of the trufilc, ano
taxes it moderately. notwithstanding its known ille-
gality. Why may not we then at one and the some
open it by exactioils in favor of the State '2 - By a ju-
dicious policy of taxation and repression, such as is
indicated by'the bill, we can, as the undersigned ful-
ly believes, in six months, shut up one-half of the
grog-shops in the State, and perhaps more, and that
too of the class which is the most. 'mean and the
most mischievous. If the United States should in
«immune lose something of revenue, Connecticut,
would, gain infinitely more in in that constitutes a
happy and prosperous people. If the gifect of taxa-
tion both by the United States and this State should
be to annihilate the traffic, so much the better. We
should not then need an inehriate asylum; certainly
none for the recruits now so often added to the corps
of drunkal‘ds to be found in our midst. But w'c'cau-
not anticipate any such happy consummation. The
traffic wil be prosecuted to some extent, and as the
exactions of the bill are more than four-fold greater
than the demands of the U. S. revenue laws, we are
quite sure to raise from this source very considerable
revenue. We can with one-half of the amount great;
1v relieve the bnrthens thrown on our towns by the
pauperism produced by alcohol, and with the other
to build up but to endow an institutien such as our
necessities require. The undersigned wholly rejects
the idea of having such a concern-so constituted that
the nch only, or those who have rich fric'nds can re.
sort to it. It is the poor and the friendiess for when
he Would more especially provide. We then havebe-
fore us this alternative, [should the proposed law be
enacted] either the venders of alcohol in our State
will pretty extensively abandon their traflc. or we
shall have an amount afrevenne adequate to realise
both of thabjecis a love indicated. Of the two the
undersigned deems the consummation of the first
ulternative to be by far the most desirable, but he
would gladly soccpt the'lsst, partly for its own sake ,
and partly in consideration of the accompanying ad-
vantages such as are hereinbefore explained.
All of which is respectfully submitted to the better
judgment and superior wisdom ofthe honorable Gene
era] Assembly, by Tam-AN Sin-m.

A BIT OF ROHANCE.—'-In one of the tene-
ment houses of New York, in one of our
lowest localities, a laboring man lived with
his family. A_ missionary sought out the»
two- daughters and had ‘illem placed at
school. The eldest married one of her own
Glass. Her life became distasteful to her.
She left her husband and disappeared. Some
time after, an actress created quite a sense-
iionjn Memphis. Who she was and where
she came from, no one knew. She kept her
eye on her husband, and through a friend
saw that he did not want. He was taken
very sick and was destitute in a. garret.
Some time after he was taken sick, on old
lady appeared at the door distributing ira'cts.
She h‘ad‘h basket on her arm, and made
‘slrict- in uiry if there was any Sick per-
son thcr . She was directed to the room
where the sick man lay burning with a fe-
ver, and in complete destituiion. She filled
his room with comforts, employed a physi-
cian and nurse, and made daily visits to the
house, always bringing delicacies. No one
knew who she was, or whence She came
from ; but she was regarded as an angel of
mercy, Rough men liiied their hats’to her
as she passed them in the hall-Way or
on the stairs, and course women, looking
out from their untid quarters, were heard
to say, “The Holy irgin bless yer.” Leav-
ing all that was necessary. the old woman
disappeared. The man grew worse. In his
delirium he called continually for his wife,
blending her name with that of the kind old
:ract Woman who had been so merciful.
J ust before the man died, a fashionabl
dressed lady appeared at his bedside, e
was too far gone to recognize her. It was
his wife, and it was she who in the form of
an old woman had relieved his wants. She
gave her husband a decent burial; made
herself known to her sister, and left with '.
llcr tokens of liberality. The last. words .
she said to her as she left for the South: “I
hope I shall not die in ' a- theatre, as [poor
President Lincoln dlf .” She_ returned to
her profession, was taken sick in the theatre
the first night of- her return and died in a
few hours. She left little exec t her ward-
robe, but that little was secure, by her New
