lished some weeks sine a private letter of l
President Jackson to General Sam Houston,
dated Washington, ~1). 0.. June 21. uses,
Pmfiéd by an old Texan, a _fOrmer friend
of Houston’s, which has more than a per-
lonll history attached to it. President
Jackson recalls his . delightful meeting with
his fiiend one year before,when, as Governor
of Tennessee, he was “about to be united to
a beautiful young lady of accomplished
manners and of respectable connections"
As to his sudden determination to “settle
with the Indians and become a savage,” he
exclaims: “Surely it is a dream,” and he
hints that though now addressed at the
Cherokee Agency, Terri-ory of,Ai-kansa‘s;
his intention’is to'fnund in Texas a South
Western Empire; reviviog'thus a scheme of
other men in earlier times.

since his death been made known by his
'widow to those specially intrusted with the
preparation of his memoirs, the publication
of which is perhaps now indefinitely post,-
poned, justice to truth and to Houston’s-
memory as a model of true loyalty seems to
demand the following statement of the
proofs of that loyalty :
.As pastor of Senator Houston from 1845
to 1861,1ntimate with all his private thoughts
as well as his public life, the writer, when
requested to contribute to the proposed
memoir, Wasxmade acquainted with the fact
of his marriage'wound; keener and more
lasting than that of the poisoned Indian
arrow, whose festering he used sometimes to
show his friends. The attestation of his
loyalty in all other relations, heard often
from his own lips, and read in unmistakable
acts, is in perfect accord with the authentic
facts of history which any reader can verify
even in brief Encyclopaedia notices. There
is not a'partlcle of evidence in any preserved
record'which indicates ataint of disloyalty
in any. relation. . »
fBorn-in Virginia-in 1793, left an orphan in
boyhood,Sam Houston went with his mother
to'Tennessee, where he supported her by his
own industry, thus early learning family
loyalty; In 1813, at the age of twenty,
he enlisted under General Jackson in the
Creek war, and for his repeated deeds of
gallantry he so gained the esteem of Jackson
that he urged him to remain permanently in
thearmy. Besigning, however,and studying
law in Nashville,he rose from ofice to office,
and in 1828, at the age .of thirty, he was
elected-to Congress, and then again in 1827
was electedfiovernor of Tennessee. p to
this time Houston was unmarried. Univer-
mlly admired, and urged by associates to
form-aniailiauce which seemed essential to
his , station, a young lady of beauty and
succinplishme'iituwas commended to him by
family influence." His proposal of marriage
waif accepted, and late in 1828 the marriage
ceremony was performed with unusual pomp.
The next day Houston resigned his ofiice,
crossed the river into Mississippi into
Arkansas, and December 11, 1828, wrote
from the Agency of his old Cherokee
acquaintances'the letter to President Jackson
which called forth his letter of January 21,
1829. No one of Houston’s companions
knew till his death the cause of his new
course, which his best friends, like Jackson,
rcgar—dedas' partial insanity; no one but his
widow could reveal it‘, and she only through
a sense or conjugal and Christian duty. That
cause was the highest test of loyalty of which
any man could be capable.
0n the eve of marriage, Governor Houston
observeda tremor in the voice and in the
hand of his bride,when the vow of undivided
attachment was pronounced,which convinced
him some secret had not been revealed to
him. Before retiring he frankly told her of
his suspicion, asked a frank confession and
pledged her that it should not work her
injury. His frankness and firmness led to
the confession that her affections had been
given and pledged to another before their
meeting, and that filial duty had prompted
her acceptance of his proffer. Houston
retired to his own cot, next day resigned his
position, allowing the entire fault to appear
to be his, permitted and encouraged her
application for a divorce on the plea of
desertion, and his bride was married to the
man of her former affection. Many irregu—
larities rumor, of course, charged on the
man who had really sacrificed everything to
save one who had erred only in mistaken
duty; but no charge of domestic infidelity
could be true in a man who denied it to the
' estimable lady who afterwards became his
wife. _ ‘
The suggestion of ambitious designs,
. naturally assumed as true by Jackson, was
disproved by facts knowu to history. One
year after that letter was written Houston
was the chosen representative of the Chero-
kees at‘Washington. It was on a visirto
Texas avyear or two later ‘that HoustiOn wits
drawn into Texan afiairs. The large Coff-
necticut colony induced to go in 1820 had
been, in violation of Santa Anna’s promises,
in 1830 incorporated into the neighboring
Mexican province of Coahuila and this
subjected to Mexican law and Government.
These Americans in Texas, with loyal intent,
thereupon organiZed a distinct province, and
they elected Houston as their delegate to the
Convention that had been called to revise the
Mexican Constitution, which in 1824 had
borrowed largely from that of the United
States. The Colonists had? increased in
number to 20,000 when Houston became
their delegate. The ' crafty: Santa Anna,-
after repeated eflorts for peace, :didllOE begin
hostilities until 1835. Thoughsuperior in
ability. Houston did not become commander
iii-chief till the post was resigned by Colonel
S. F. Austin, the son of the first Colonist,
in the autumn of 1835. Houston's clem-
ency to Santa Anna, after the massacres he
Illhd perpetrated, was loyalty to the rules of
war.
During the eight years, from 1837 to 1845,
of Texan independencefloustontwas faithful
toevery obligation of life. It Was during
this period that he obained '_a divorce from
the Legislature of the State of!~ which he was
President, and married Z'Onelgof the most
accomplished and devout of Christian wo-
men, who, with a, large family of children,
survives him. -Wli'en,i-at' last, annexation
couldbe effected "instead of aiming at an
independent empire,_llouston promoted to
the utmost the annexation of the State of
which he had been the'fa'thei'.
In Washington, asSenator from 1845 to
1861, no truer statesman than Sam Houston
sat ' in the Capitol. In social relations no
sign of-vice appeared, for he was of the
Roman stamp, so honored recently by the
TRIBUNE as a type of the Republican leaders
of France. Though unable to bring his
family to the Capital, they were always in
his thought. He spent Sunday afternoon in
writing to them; and he ever spoke in all
company of the fact that to his wife he was
indebted for his chief honor and happiness
From his comingto flashingtop his seat was
never vacant in the place of worship; he
often referred to a discourse on the words
“Better is he that ruleth his own spirit than
Mthat taket'h a city,” as the religious crisis
of his life ; he rose above, the two—fold
faith, namely: the suspicion of hypocrisy
and of sectarianism, and was baptized when
at the very height of his political expecta-
tions. A . I
When secession and the war following it
cutie, Sam Houston was almost alone in
cap-using it, in open words and in direct acts.
When in varied companies the remark was
dropped that Lincoln would not be peaceably
inaugurated, Houston firmly said: “The
man that atiempts to prevent it shall walk
over my dead body!” True to his word,
when on the day of inauguration videttes
were at every street corner where the
procession was to pass, close up to the left
side of the carriage in which Lincoln sat
with Buchanan on his right, the tall form of
throughout the whole route, pressing so
closely up to the wheels that no man could
have passed betv‘veen.
~Such a record should set aside any suspi-
clan that Houston was not in every relation
11 model of loyalty. Retiring to the bosom
of his family he lived two years in yet
another political exile; but adored in his
family, and not “an alien from the common—
wealth of the redeemed.” .

She looked just like that kind of a woman
when she came into the sanctum, and all the
seniors became instinctively very busy and so
absorbed in their work that they did not see
her, which left the youngest than on the stafl
an easy pre ', for he looked at the visitor with
a little natural politeness, and was even soft
fiough to offer her a chair.
“You are the editor?” she s-‘id in a deep
bass voice.
He tried to say “Yes,” so that she could
hear him, while his colleaguesin the sanctum
couldn’t, but it was a failure, for the woman
gave him dead away in a minute.
“You are 1” she shouted, “then listen to
me; look at me; what am I?” '
The foolish youngest man looked at her
timidly and ventured to say, in a feeble voice
that she looked to be about forty sev—
“Am-I not a woman ?" she said.
The youngest young man Weakly tried to
correct his former error, and said she seemed
more like a girl—
But again she broke in on him with a
scornful hiss: -
“Gir—r-r-i 1” she said, “I am a woman ; a
woman with all the heaven-born aspirations,
the fathomless feelings, the aggressive cour-
age and the indomitable will of a woman.
What can you see on my face ?”
The position of the youngest man on the
mad was pitiable, but ‘none of the old heads
appeared to observe it. At least, they didn’t
offer to help him out. So he looked at her
face a second, and said timidly:
“Freckl—”
“Nursling,” she shrieked, “had you the
soulful eyes on a free man you could see
shining on my brow the°rising light of a
brighter dawn.” _ .
“Could I” asked the youngest man tim-
idly.
"Yes, you could I," the woman said in
tones of unmeasurabie scorn, Now hear me,
have you a—but I cannot bring myself touse
the hateful expression in the style of ma scu—
line possession; are you any body’s hus-
band ?”
The youngest man blushed bitterly, and
said that he wasn’t as yet, but he had some
hopes—
"And you expect your—that is your expect
the woman Whose, husband you _will_ _be to
support you i” h i U ~
The youngest man blushed more keenly
than before, and tremblingly admitted that he
had some expectations—that—that—that the
only daughter of his proposed father-in-law.
if he might put it that way— ‘
“Yah l” snarled the woman ; “now let me
tell you the day of woman’s emancip .tion is

You must look for other slaves to bend and
cringe before your majesties, and wait upon
you like slaves. You Will feel the changein
your affairs since we have burst our chains,
and how will you live without the aid of
women P Who makes your shirts now '1’" she
added fiercely.
The youngest man miserablyfsaid that a
tailor on Jefferson street made his.
“Hm,” said the woman, somewhat discon—
carted. “Well, who washes ’em, then?” she
added, triumphantly.
A Chinaman just west of Fifth street,”
the youngest man said with a. hopeful light
in his eyes.
The woman glared at him and groaued un-
der her breath, but she came at him again
with: '
"Proud worm, who cooks your vitcuals ?”
The youngest man said truly that he didn’t
know the name of the cook at his restaurant,
but he was a man about forty years old, and
round as a barrdl with whiskers like the stuf-
fing of a sofa.
The woman looked as though she was going
to strike him.
“Well,” she said, as one who was leading
a forlorn hope, “who makes up your bed and
takes care of your room f”
The young man replied with an air of truth
and frankness that he,roomed with a railroad
conductor, and an ex-Pullman sleeping car
porter took care of the room.
She paused when she reached the door,and
'turned upon him with the_face of a drowning
man who is only five feet away from alife
buoy. _ ’
“Miserable dependent,” she cried, “who
sews on your buttons ‘1’" .
' The youngest man on the staff rose to his
feet with a proud, happy look on his face.
“Haven’t a sewed button on a single
clothes," he cried, triumphantly, “patents,
every one of ’em, fastened on like copper
rivets and nothing but studs and collar but—
tons on my shirts. llavn’t'had a button
sewed on for three years. Patent buttons
last for years after the garments have gone to
decay.” _
And the woman fled down'the windintr
passage and the labyrinthine stairs witha
hollow groan, while the other members of the
staff, breaking through their heroic reserve,
clustered around the youngest man and con-
gratulated him upon the emancipation of his
sex.

Very touching are the idyls, of the 'country
schools in Pennsylvania. A boy of twelve,
whose ideas are shooting in the vicinity of
Lancaster, recently evinced his partiality for
a schoolmate of the opposite sex by dividing
a huge turnip during school hours. Another
lad, jealous very like, teased him by rolling
his eyes and muttering “Sweet on the girl.”
The lad got angry and buried his share of the
turnip at the offender’s head. The teacher
(saw what had been done and directed the boy
who had thrown the turnip to take his place
at the desk and to stand there until otherwise
ordered. The girl who had _ received the
other part of the turnip, hot with indignation
and anxious to share disgrace with her
admirer, at once threw her portion at the
jealous boy. The teacher ordered her to
take her place beside thefirst culprit—which
was precisely what she wanted to do.
“Hands wanted on boys’ pants” is the
daily advertisement in the newspapers.

“ A_ Good Mother.”
'The Religious Herald (Hartford) has a
beautiful tribute by its frequent correspond-
ent “R. B. 8.,” (Rev Robert Bayard Snow-
den,) who has also been a Valued contributor
to the GAZETTE, to the memory of his mother
recently deceased, October 8th, at South N or-
walk, Mrs. Laurentine Snowden, daughter of
General Robert Bogardus, of one of the old
Knickerbocker families of New York city.
She was a woman of more than ordinary
strength of character, of high culture and
position, accomplished in art, of rare charms
of person, winning manners and conversa-
tional powers, shining among the most bril-
liant and gifted. In early womanhood she
was received into. the communion of St.
Thomas’ Protestant Episcopal church, and
after marriage her religious feelings deepened
and she withdrew, very cheerfully, out
of a sense of duty, from the round of pleas-
ures which hitherto had so largely engrossed
her attention,and devoted herself henceforth,
‘with beautiful earnestness, to the fitting
nurture of her family. She was constantly
thoughtful for others and interested in pro—
moting the welfare and happiness, and espec-
ially considerate for the poor and' weak. It
was a source of great comfort to her that she
, was able to establish a mission chapel (Spring-
wood Sumlayscliaol) neargcr late'rcsidonoe,
in the good wink of» which she was greatly
intefested to the close of her life. When
the family removed to South Norwalk,
nearly twenty-one years ago, there was no
Episcopal church there, and she united with
the congregational church, of which she re—
mained a member until her death. Her love
for religion, the church and the Bible Was
born of the Holy Spirit. A kind and afiec—
tionate wife and mother, unsparing of self
in her devotion to the family for whose high-
est welfare she felt That God had made her
highly responsible for, always interested in
every good work the wide world over, she
leaves to those who knew her best,a precious
memory, and though dead yet speaks to
them, and all in behalf of a better life and a
heavenly crown.
“Her Price is far above Rubies.”
Proverbs. 3lzl0.
The same paper, Religious Herald, in a no
tice of the life of the Reverend Professor in
Princeton Seminary, Charles Hodge, l). D.,
LL. D., has the following: The tribute of
Dr. Hodge to his mother is only a repetition
of What others, and among them the best
and ablest men of the ages have expressed,
“It is no marvel that mothers are sacred in
the eyes of their children. The debt they
owe them is beyond all estimate. To our
mother, my brother and myself, under God.
owe absolutely everything, To us she devo-
led her life. For us she prayed,labored and
suffered. At the time we were preparing for
college the widowed mother’s income was
almost entirely cut off. Instead of putting
her children off her hands, and learning
them to provide for themselves,by sacrificing
all she had, by the most self—denying econo-
my, and by keeping boarders, she succeeded
in procuring them the benefits of a collegiate
and professional education, at her expense
and without loss of time."
The Herald adds: There is a very import-
ant sense in which. without the ballot, wo
men, and especially mothers, rule the world.
Let the example of Mary Blanchard Hodge
stimulate and sustain the many Christian
mothers who, through similar and per-
haps even greater difliculties, are making for
themselves a blessed record for earth and
heaven.
An aged colored man living in an Illinois
suburb of St. Louis had-been praying for
several months that he might be allowed to
vote for Garfield. He was very feeble,'and
his friends had not thought.it possible for
him to live until election day; but on the
2d of November he tottered to the polls, and
stepping up to the window gave his name.
The ballot was received by the judges, duly
marked and deposited in the box. Satisfying
himself that his vote had been properly
registered and disposed of, the old man
turned to go home, but before he had taken
half a dozen steps he suddenly reeled and
fell. The bystanders, supposing that he had
accidentally fallen, rushed to his assistance,
but the first glance showed that he was dead.
His one hope had been fulfilled, and he
passed away peacefully, his fealty to his
party strong even in death.
An old man who was taken for a tramp
died in a wayside. wagon house near Schenec-
tady, recently. He was shabbily dressed,
having on two ragged woolen coats and two
pairs of faded trousers, and was covered
with lice and filth. Yet when the coroner
held an inquest, $239 77 were found in the
old man’s pocket, and in a tin box which he
had carried about in his hands were secreted
$19,950 in 4% per cent. bonds. A gold watch
and a handsome chain were also found on
his person; Strangest of all, the old tramp
turned out to bea minister.
During the recent campaign several young
Democrats employed by a large manufactur
ing company in Waterbury, Conn,, chalked
“329" on every barrel, stairway, door, fence
and outbouse connected with the establish-
ment. The‘superintendent, an ardent Re
nubilcan,.said nothing about it at the time,
but allowed the foolish fellows to use the
chalk with impunity. He took pains, how-
ever, to find out who were engaged in this
species of political arithmetic. Last Wed—
nesday morning he went to the shop, called
out. the names of all who had had a hand in
die figuring, and ordered them to form in
line on the floor, as he was going to organize
a broom brigade. He armed them with
brooms, buckets, cloths and scrubbing
brushes, telling them he was going to have
them help celebrate Garfield’s election. He
appointed himself Captain, and told them
they were now to march and wash out all the
dirty work they had been revelling in for the
past six weeks. Some of the marking came
off hard, and with the cold water and sand
they were compelled to use, and the two
hours’ hard work under strict discipline, the
chalk campaign in at least one factory came
to an end. -
President-elect Garfield, according to the
Washington Star, is a base ball enthusiast.
The Slur says: “During that part of the
session of congress when the base-ballet is
baseballing, General Garfield never failed to
put in an appearance at the National grounds,
He is generally there some time before the
game is called. When the duties of an after-
noon session necessarily rcquire his presl-ncc'
in the house he is sometimes late on the
grounds, but never fails to be in at the finish.
Few people take the interestin the game
that he does, or follow it as closely. Sir
E lward Thornton is a pretty sure spectator,
but he stays in the outfield in his carriage.
General Garfield gets right down- in the front
row of seats of the grand stand. He keeps
t ie score himself, and watches every play as
intently as if he had thousands of dollars on
the game. He cheers every neat play and
gets as excited as anybody.”
“What church is that i” asked a stranger
of anativc as they yesterday rode in a Cheat-
nut street car past the United States Mint.
“It is the Church of the Almighty Dollar,"
solemnly replied the native. The stranger
reverently nodded with a thankful grunt of
acknowledgement, and as he continued on his
ride'made an. inward memorandum to the
effect that he had added to his store of eccle-
siastical knowledge the name of a house of
worship whose existence he had not before
suspected—Philadelphia Times.

Foraging Sweet Potatoes.
HOW YANKEE PRISONERS CAPTURED REBEL
YAMS AT LIBBY PRISON. '
The recent sale at auction of the old Lib-
by warehouse, in which so many northern
soldiers were confined as prisoners of war,
has brought out many new and interesting
stories connected with that historic building.
One of the best of these was told by ex.
Guard Joseph Wingfield, who lives in Rich-
cute Yankee trick :
“It was about ’63, and the Libby building
Was so crowded that it wouldn’t hold any
more prisoners, so they put a large lot of
them in the second story of the building
across the street. Soon after these prison-
ers came the prison oflicials got a large sup-
ply of sweet potatoes (regular yams) from
North Carolina, and stored them on the
first floor of the building in which those
prisoners were confined. Big sweet pota-
toes were luxuries in those days, and Tur-
ner and those fellows kept a‘strict watch
over the building, I can tell you. The third
day after they had been stowed away it was
noticed that they were disappearing at the
rate of about a bushel a day. At first it Was
thought that the rats took them, but a sec-
ond thought showed that the idea was ab-
surd. Sentinels were posted-alluround the
building with orders to shoot any man they
caught stealing those yams, but they didn’t
see anybody to shoot, and although they
were posted there day and night, and no one
was allowed to enter the room in which the
potatoes were kept, they continued to disap-
pear at the rate of a bushel a day. The con-
federatcs saw their yams disappearing in this
way and were furious. The thing was an un‘
accountable mystery. The doors and win-
dows of the room were sealed, and private
marks were put on the wax, so that if any
one of them was opened it would be known.
The next morning the ofli'lccrs went into the
room. The wax was all right but another
bushel of potatoes had vanished. Well, sir,
it was the maddest crowd you ever saw.
They came after me and ordered me to take
my stand in the room. They locked me in,
and a lighted candle was put at each end of
the room so that I could see. I was ordered
to shoot on sight anybody I saw stealing
those yams. It was terribly lonesome in that
room. Just as fast as I would light one
candle, and go to the other end of the room
to light the other, the rats would cut the first
one down. They Were regular confederate
rats, and a candle was a godsend IO them.
After a lot of worry I got the rats out of the
way and sat down near the door waiting for
developements. TliereI stayed till twelve
o’clock; but, though I kept my eyes on the
potatoes all the time, I couldn’t see any of
them going. Shortly after twelve I heard a
creaking, grating sound, which seemed to be
all over the room at once. I cocked my gun
and held my breath, but still I couldn‘t see
any sign of life except the rats creeping
about the floor. ‘By Georgel’ I thought,
‘this darned place is haunted, if there is any
such a thing as a place being haunted. The
sound stopped, but about ten minutes after
it began again. ‘I looked at the pile of po-
tatoes, and-presently saw something shoot
from the Ceiling and fall on them I saw it
was a brick,\and could distinguish a rope
lied to it. I'crept a little nearer to get a
good look at the thing, but before I could
examine it it was drawn slowly up, and
there was about speck of yams sticking to
it. ‘It went up through a hole which had
been cut in the floor above, and presently
came down again with a thump right among
the potatoes. It was the most artful arranger
ment‘you'cvc; 'saw. 'The'brick had about
fifty holes driled in it, and through each
hole asharpened ten—penny nail had been
driven, so that when the brick fell among
the-yams these nails stuck into every one
they fell on. I couldn’t hllp laughing at the
smart dodge those Yankees had taken to get
at the yarns. I genty put my hand forward
and caught hold of the rope. Pretty soon
they began to draw on it, and When it did
not moveI heard one fellow say, ‘Steady,
boys; the brick’s hung in something. Pull
her steadily without jerking.’ They did pull
steadily, and fairly lifted me from the floor.
‘No jerk; easy, boys, easy,’ the director said,
and they tugged away. I got pretty red in
the face holding to the rope. I was afraid to
let go, because I thought some of those
spiked nails might strike me in passing. I
thought of my pocket knife and hauled it
out just as they were putting all their weight
on the other end of the rope. I cut it in two
and the end shot back through the hole in the
ceiling, and I could hear rolling and tum-

“This is mull trimmed with ,_Languedoc
lace'—-——-” _
“I don't nj’ean that—that other.”
“Onl differentiation? ain’t it sweet? It’s
got something to do with species. It’s the
way you tell one but from another, so you’ll
know which is becoming. And we leard all
about nscidians, too. They are the divinest
thingsl I’m absolutely enraptured with as-
cidians. If I only had an ascidian of my
own I wouldn’t ask anything else in the
world.”
“What do they look like, dear? Did you
ever see one?" asked the ,Brooklyn girl,
deeply interested.
“Oh, no; nobody ever saw one except Mr.
Cook and Mr. Emerson, but they are some-
thing like an oyster with a reticule hung on:
its belt. I thing‘tney are just heavenly.”
"Do you learn anything else besides all
these ?” '
“I yes. We learn about common phi-
losophy and logic. and those common things
like metaphysics, but the girls don't care
anything about those. We are just in ecs-
tasies over differentiations and molecules,
and Mr. 009'} and protoplasms, and ascid-
ians and Mr Emerson, and I really don’t see
Why they put in those vulgar branches. If
anybody beside Mr. Cook and Mr. Emerson
had done it we should have told him to his
face that he was too terribly awfully mean.”
And the Brooklyn girl went to, bed that
night in the dumps, because fortune had not
vouchaafed her the advantages enjoyed by
her friend; while the Boston girl dreamed of
seeing an ascidian chdsing a moleeculc over
a differentiated back fence with a club for
telling a. protoplasm that his youngest sister
bad so many freckles on her nose that they
made her squint-eyed.

Irish Lace.
Tell me some
bling on the floor above, showing that the
sudden giving way of the rope had hada
disastrous eflcct. I heard another voice say :
‘There, now, I told you so. You’ve broken
We’ve lost our brick, and to-
morrow we’ll be found out.’ Then another
voice called out: ‘Can’t you see it? We
might hook it up.’ Next I saw a long neck
protruding through the hole, and a fei—
low peering down. Then I called out: ‘If
you trouble any more of those potatoes I’ll
slioot.’ That fellow’s head shot back through
that hole just like a terrapin, and it was as
still as death up there. I hated to tell on
them because it was such. a sharp scheme
of foraging on the enemy, but I had to.
When the officers went up the next morning
to examine the room it took a long time to
find the hole. Those Yankees had to cut a
hole about a foot square through the floor,
and it was done so neatly that it took good
eyes to discover it. That was where the of-
ficers yams went to.

What the Elephants Did.
Nearly all the vehicles and other shot;
property of the London circus, which ar—
rived here on a special train Saturday night,
have been housed in the buildings erected by
P. T. Barnum in the lower part of the city
for their reception and for the winter keep—
ing of his own show. One feature of the
work of getting the London sliow’s effects
under cover yesterday afternoon was decid-
edly novel and interesting. Some of the
chariots and other vehicles are” very heavy,
Weighing several tons, and were besides sunk
so deeply in the soft soil that it was no easy
matter to handle them. Too many horses to
be used conveniently under the circumstan
ces would have been required to furnish the
requisite power, and accordingly, Charley
White, the elephant trainer, brought two of
the sixteen elephants of the herd into requi-
sition to perform the work. It was interest-
ing to see how intelligently the well-trained
beasts did what was required of them, and to
observe the tremendous strength at their
command. ’ Turning their trunks around the
hubs or the spokes, they lifted the vehicles
out of the ruts, and after carrying them into
the building, shifted them to any position
desired. One of the chariots which they
picked up with ease weighed five tons. It
was not always easy for them to take hold
of their load so that it balanced well between
them, but they invariably succeeded after a
while in getting cvary’thing adjusted as it
should be. One of the lighter wagons that
was being run in bad its high seat wedged
against the upper part of the door so firmly
that the horses could not budge it. They
Were taken off and the elephants placed at the
hind wheels. They gave the wagon one push
and the seat went into a hundred pieces as
the wagon rolled in. These elephants will do
any lifting or carrying that they are ordered,
and for heavy work are sometimes very val—-
noble—Bridgeport Farmer. '

The sun is the oldest settler in the west.—
It is in beautiful, delicate needlework, and
in the making of lace of different kinds, says
a. writer in The Argosy, that the Irish sisters
excel. There are several houses in the
south of Ireland, each of which is famous for
some special kind of manufacture. Persons
who are learned in such matters can téll in—
stantly on looking ata piece of work, at what
convent it was done The crochet made un—
der the superintendence of Youghai onus is
exquisite, and so fine that it has, in many
cases, been mistaken for other kinds of lace.
I have heard of a lady who purchased a
quantity of what she believed to be old
Roman point, in Italy at a great expense
On bringing it home she took it to her dress
maker in Dublin, and gave it to her fora
trimming for a dress, with many cautions
against waste, and with repeated orders not
to cut it unnecessarily. The woman smiled
when she heard the discolored work called
antique point. She got a magnifying glass
and showed her customer that she had in re-
ality bought Irish crochet lace, which had
been dipped in_ some yellow fluid, in order to
give it an appearance of great age; The
clever expert was, morebver, able to tell from
what part of the country it had originally
been procured. Some ladies are very fond of
purchasing sleeves and collars of this beauti-
ful work, to wear at the table d'hote when‘
traveling on the contiment, as it does not re—
quire what is technically termed doing up;
when soiled, simple washing and drying will
restore it to its pristine daintiness. Besides
this, it is quite uninjured by any amount of
pressing or crumbling.

A frisky old widow, by the name of But-
ler, who had been married several times,
usually with disastrous results to her hus-
bands, having obtained a divorce from her
last husband. who was a Republican, imme—
diately married a new husband, who was a
rising young man and a Democrat. The
friends of the widow congratulated her upon
the acquisition of a new husband. The
widow blushed violently, and chewing the
seam of her apron, replied : “Why. he is not
a new husband at all. He is the same one I
used to have before the war.”—Galoeston

OVER. THE .RIVER.
EY.NANCY A. \V. PRIEST.
We. have been requested to reprint this
beautiful poem :
Over the river they beckon to me—
Loved ones who’ve crossed to the farther
side ;
I‘he gleam of their snowy robes I see,
But their voices are drowned in the rushing
tide.
i’here’s one with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own
blue;
tie crossed in the twilight, gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal
view
We saw not the angels who met him there;
The gates of the city we could see;
Over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me!
over the river the boatman paler
Carried another—the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in- the gentle gale—
Darling Minnie! Isee her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark ;
We watched it glide from the silver sands, '
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the farther side,
~ Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My Childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores »
Who cross with thdbontman cold and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch a gleam of the snowy sail—
And lotheyhave passed from our yearning
heart, _ '
They cross the stream and are gone for aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no’more
May sail with us o’er life’s stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, I knew, on the unssn shore.
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And I sit and think, when the sunset’s gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and share,
I shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman’s oar,
I shall'watch for a gleam of the flapping sail ;
I shall bear the boat as it gains the strand;
I shall pass from sight, with the boatman
pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land;
I shall know the loved who have gone before
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of Death shall carry me.

The 'Naugatuck correspondent of the Wa-
terbury American paints as' follows :
Every woman that comes into town from
the country, nowadays. and theil’iname is
legion, invariably, without exception, trades
off her load of butter, eggs, applefland po—
tatoes for suet, raisins, allspice, citron,cin—
uamon, rice, besides a seven-fold amount of
C. sugar and N. O. molasses. Then she
calls at the butcher’s and buys fifteen pounds
of “cheap pieces, for mince meat, I know,”
and turns the sorrel mares face homeward.
Take a look into that lady’s pantry some
day the last of next week and you’ll see
thirty mince pies, tWenly-three pumpkin
pies, fifteen tart pies, one bigr chicken pie.

pullets with their toes turned up waiting for
the oven, two spareribs, a nine pound beef

of cake, eight varities, three rice puddings, a
pack of seed cookies, five quart cans of
cranberry sauce, seven cans of quinces,
twelve cans of peaches, one butter jar full of
sweet pickles, one full of cucumber pickles,
one full of chow-chow, and the lady who has
prepared all, says in reply to a friend’sinv
terrogatory, out in the kitchen: “No, I ain’t
cookin’ for Thanksgivin’ this year. I’ve
invited Maria and her folks down to supper,
and jest cooked a few knick knacks for the
children. you know. I’m gitin’ sol’dt I can’t
cook up a lot like I used to. \Vhat'be you
doin’ ?” And the friend says that she “ain’t
cookin’ notliin’ neither this year and then asks
to borrow a couple of dozen pie tins.
