"No. He was rather shy of me

"I think, my chilifs” remarked
the mother, after artft. season of

lime. You know that Henry loves
you most truly—that his whole soul
is devoted to you—and that his
attention is but the result of his affec
tion—a demonstration of which you
should be proud; for let me tell you,
an undivided, unswerving love is
something not always to be secured.
Now you have been trifling with
Henry's heart—you have both pain
ed and mortified him, and it so hap
pens that those hearts which love the
most deeply and strongly, are the
ones which suffer the most from
slight or neglect, and which shrink
the most quickly from coldness and
trilling. Believe me Louisa, you are
entering upon dangerous ground. If
you care for Henry's love, I advise
you to ask his pardon as soon as you
have an opportunity."
"Ask his pardon !" repeated the
thoughtless girl, with an expression
of surprise. `Mercy on me! what
are you thinking of? You shall see
him at my feet before the week is
out."
"Ah, my dear one, you don't
know so _much about the human
heart as you think you do. A heart
may revolve steadily around its
centre of affection for a long time—
for so long a time that it seems fixed
in its course like a planet around the
sun—but a sudden strain may snap
the cord asunder and the stricken
heart 8y off at a tangent, and never
come lack. If you must trifle, trifle
with anything rather than the heart.
We are going to Mr. Winthrop's to
morrow, and I hope I may induce
Polly tell you a little story of her
experience In life."
Louisa said she should be very
glad to hear It; then she, tried ; to
laugh; and then, having told her
mother once more that she was
needlessly anxious, she went to her
chamber.
On the following morning Mrs.
Burnet met her daughter, as usual,
making no allusion to the circum
stances of the previous evening. In
the afternoon they walked out to call
at Mrs. Winthrop's, having an urg
ent invitation to visit them. They
remained to tea, and spent the even
ing.
Bank, of whom Mrs. Burnet had
spoken, was Mrs. Winthrop's sister.
She was a maiden lady, vast three
score, and had for many,, years found
a home with her brother. Her head
was now silvered, and time had
drawn deep marks on her brow, but
still there were traces of beauty left
upon her face. During the evening
she came and took .a seat beside
Louisa, and after some commonplace
remarks, the old lady said, in a
quiet way:
"Your mother told me that you
would like to hear a little of my life
history."
"if you would please tell it, I
certainly should, for anything which
you deem worthy of telling must be
Interesting," replied Louisa.
"Then let us walk in the garden.
The moon is up and the air is warm
and pleasant."
They went out, and when they
had reached the grapery they went
into the arbor and sat down.
"There is no need that I Should
make any preliminary remarks,"
continued Polly, for I have come out
on purpose to tell you a short story,
And I shall tell It to you as plainly
and simply as possible, and when I
have done, may know why yonr
mother wished you to hear it.
"When I was your age people
called me handsome, but still, With
all my faults, I do not think I MIS
ever proud or vain. I knew that I
was good-looking, and I meant to be
good. I tried to do right, as I under
stood it, and when I failed, it was
from a lack of judgment, and a
proneness to be thoughtless where I
should have been directly the oppo

Choose to I,
"We had a plc-nic in the' grove
near our village. I was buoyant and
happy, and I laughed and chatted
with all who came in my way. • We
had a dance before dinner, and
George asked me if I intended to
Join in the amusement v I told him
certainly.. He then took my hand
and said he would bear me company;
but I broke from - him with a laugh,
telling him at the same time that I
,was engaged to deuce with another.
r • e was disappointed—l could see it
at a glance—but he took it in good
nature. Before the second dance he
came again; but again I told him I
was engaged. He betrayed no ill
feeling at all, only I could see the
disappointment. In a little while I
was among a company of laughing,
Joking, merry-making friends of both
sexes who had been my companions
for years, and one of the gentlemen
saki I must go with him to dinner.
I knew that George had made ar
rangements for me to take dinner
with him; but what of that? Should
Ibe tied to his skirts? No. I mean
to be free—and I told the man who
had made the proposition that I
would go with him. I must have
been blind, as I know I was foolish
and wicked, but I did not stop to
think. When the dinner hour ar
rived George came with a happy,
smiling, hopeful face, and offered me
his arm. •
"For what'?" said I. "For dinner,
my dear," he replied. Then I told
him I was engaged with another,
and before his very face I took the
proffered arm - of the man to whom I
had given my promise, remarking
to my lover, as I tripped away, that
he would have'to find some one else.
I saw the look he gave me—a look
mortification, and of re
afterward I had reached the tab e,
felt a little uneasy; but I said to my
f—' He willcomearoundall right,'
and thus I tried to pass it off. To
wards the latter part of the afternoon
George came to me again. He asked
we what I meant by my treatment
of him. He was earnest hod anx
ious. I told him he must not ques
tion me in that manner.
"But," he urged, "only tell me if
you mean anything by it."
" 'Yes,' said I, do.' "
"And he asked me what it was. I
old him I. meant to teach him a
esson."
"A lesson of what?" he asked.
"Of good manners," said I. "I
want to teach you not to he too at
tentive to me. And," I added, very
thoughtlessly; "you annoy me."
"He did not answer me. I saw
his lip quiver, and his manly bosom
heave; and as he turned away , the
sunbeams that came through the
branches of the trees rested upon his
big tears rolling down his cheeks.
The impulse of my heart then was to
spring forward and detain him; to
ask his forgivness and make him
happy. But •tt foolish, whimsical
pride detained me. I let him go,
and tried to comfort myself with the
reflection that it would come out all
right.
"When the party was breaking up,
he-came and asked me if he should
see me home. He was very cool,
and seemed only to mean that he
felt bound to make the offer, seeing
he had brought me there. I was not
going to accept any such offer as that
and I told him I should not require
his attention.
"Polly," he said, "you do not
mean this. lio not make me think
that I have mistaken ,you. He
trembled as he spokeand I could see
that he was feaafully agitated.
"But I had gone too far to give up
then and with a light laugh I turned
from him. I went home one way—
be went another. All the next day
I looked for him, but he did come.
And a second'day I watched; and a
third, and a fourth. On the fifth
day I teceived a letter from him. It
was from a distance town whither he
had gone to see his widowed mother.
lie wrote to me that he feared he
had been disappointed. If I could
trifle with his heart then I might do
it again. He said he was going out
west and might be gone :some time
If I still loved him when he return
ed, I might be sure of finding him
uemarried, for he had no heart to
give another. Still he would like to
hear from me, ho would like to hear
if I wished it. He wrote as one who
had been deeply wronged, and there
were one or twosentences in the mis
,eive that touched me unpleasantly.
A week passed away, and I did not
answer It; but at the end a that time
I made up my mind to call George
to me and worm my fault; for well
I knew that t had been very wrong.
I wrote and my letter reached its
destination just twelve hours after
he had started on his journey.
"I never saw George Ashum again.
In less than a year he died in a mad
house!
"He did wrong—he .did wrong—
very, very wrong—to leave me as he
did. He ought not to have done it.
Fie ought to have made an effort—for
his own sake and mine. I had done
a wicked thing—a—cruel, thought
less deed it was—and the penalty
fell heavily upon me!
"Louisa, yuor mother asked me to
tell you my story. I have done so.
If it can profit you, I shall not regret
the pain I have felt in the recital.
That I have not ceased to suffer let
these hot, bitter tears bear witness.
Oh. of all things within thesphere of
your influence. beware how you tri
fle with a trusting, loving heart."
Silent and thoughtful Louisa Bar
net returned to the parlor, and but
very little did she say on her way
home. On the following morning
she wrote a brief now and sent it to
Henry Southron. She simply asked
him to come and see her. He came,
and when they were alone, she tell
upon his bosom, and asked him to
forgive her. She gazed up. through
her streaming tears, and, begged for
his love and confidence once more.
Of course he could not refuse. Per
ham he was never happier than at
that moment. for surely it must have
been a mighty love and true devotion
that could have prompted the course
the maiden had thus pursued.
Louisa never forgot the lesson she
had received. She became Henry
Southrou'a wife, and when, in after
times, she saW husbands neglecting
their wives, she had ()cession to thank
'God that she was blest with the true
and undivided faith and devotion of

tintd z i4C Aug.'2l:—Twerf
ty7five years ago to-dair, at 8 o'clock
in - the evening, in the' City of" St.
Louis, Capt. Ulysses S. Grant was
married to Julia Beggs Dent—no
cards. To-night they celebrated in a
quiets becoming manner the silver
anniversary of that happy event—no
cards. The _sensative delicacy of
the family, and the especial distaste
of Mrs. •Grant for public comment
and remark, prevented tha family
from celebrating the event as they
would have been glad to do had they
been in private life. There were,
ttherefore no formal cards of invita
ion lotted, and it was the often-ex
pressed desire of the 'President that
no presents should be offered him on
this occasion. The President's cot
tage, therefore, to-night, opened its
doors to very few save those whose
faces are daily seen on the fashiona
ble drive by the ocean. It was at
first decided that the occasion should
be commemorated in a party to
which many hundred were to be
invited, but a variety of reasons pre
vented. The recent affliction of the
President in the losanf his father was
the principal cause for changing the
arrangement, and the fact of the
serious and anxious illness of Mrs.
Grant's father made the change ap
propriate and becoming. The faint
ly.also naturally shrank from ache
tentatious celebration of the anni
versary, and so the observance was of
the quietest character. The Presi
dent and his daughter and two sons
returned about noon to-day from
their fatiguing journey through the
Eastern mountains, a trip Mrs. Grant
was unable to take on, account of her
presence being required with her fa
ther. The President, however, al
t houeh much fatigued and worn by
his fortnight's pleasuring, was in ex
cellent spirits to-night, and received
the congratulations and compliments
of those present with unusual good
nature and zest.
There were few present who re
called the day of the wedding, 25
years ago—a day bright with sun
shine, when simple Capt. Grant was
married to plain Julia Dent. Not
one of the large. company present at
the marriage but thought that the
life of the former would be nothing
but the lazy, Indolent. plodding ex
istence of a regular army officer in
time of peace, and that the latter
vicOgAtAltailig.tlft

hearted helpmeet of a poor and ob
scure man. Mrs. Grant, even as a
girl, was as a girl, was known for her
strong character. I have it from one
of her schoolmates that when she
was a girl she was very shrinking
and diffident away from her father's
roof, and that she was not apprecia
ted at her worth until acquaintance
ship had ripened into friendship.
She was only appfeelated by those
who knew her well.
The first meeting, of the young
couple, who are at this moment, ripe
in middle age, looking back over a
period of twenty-five years of hap
py married life—a life checkered by
more vicissitudes than ordinarily fall
to the lot of man, a life of poverty
and wealth, of the lowest obscurity
and-the highest thme, but, through
out, a life of domestic happiness—the
first meeting of these two was at the
house of Col. O'Fallon, in St. Louis,
where Miss Dent was a guest. The
introduction was made by Mr. Ha
zlett, a classmate of Grant, both of
whom at that time were lieutenants
in the army. The rest is the same
old story that married people always
tell. Gen. Grant, after his gradua
tion, was ordered to Jeffeson Bar
racks, then several miles outside of
St. Louis and but three miles from
White Haven, the country residence
of Mr. Dent. The farm was very
large, the house, as my informant
expressed it, "was full of rooms,"
being large and capacious, and there
was always in those old days of sla
very an army of servants about the
house. It *as the most hospitable
place in the whole country around,
and was never without guests. Mr.
Dent was in affluent circumstance,
for in those years it was not needed
that a man should be worth from
one to a hundred millions in order to
be rich. His wife liked company
and was of the old order of house
keepers, who knew what was going
on, and had plenty of leisure. There
was a trdop of young men and young
girls, sons and daughters, and it was
known everywhere that White Ha
ven Farm was a good place to go to.
Lieut. Grant was a frequent visitor,
for he was always welcome on ac
count of his intimacy with Fred.
Dent, his classmate, who is now the
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 4th Artil
lery, stationed at New London.
The latter was never ordered to Fort
Jefferson and never met Grant from
the time of their graduation until
after his marriage, although their
close friendship has never been bro
ken. The betrothal of the young
couple, about whom this sketch is
written, occurred in 1843, at this
same old hospitable mansion at
White Haven Farm—a farm , which.
by the way, now belongs to Geo.
Grant, and is one of the most valua
ble In the country, the whole extent
of which is about a thousand acres.
Soon after the engagement, the
young officer of infantry was ordered
to Natchitoches, La. The Mexican
war, during which Grant won his
epaulets as Captain, soon followed,
and it did not seem possible for the
young couple to be married until
1848—five years of engagement I—a
lesson of constancy rarely taught.
The marriage occurred at Mr.
Dent's city residence on Fourth at.,
St. Louis, at about 8 o'oclock in the
evening. The house was commodi
ous for those days, and was filled to
overflowing with guests who repre
sented the
best people
The ceremony was perfarmed by the
In St. 1.401114,
Bev. Dr. Linn, a methodist. The
groomen were Callum:4 Wilcox, an
army officer, who, by the way, was
afterward a general officer in the
Con
federate army, and now lives in
Baltimore, Bernard Pratte, a citizen
of St. Louis, who, strangely enough,
also went into the Confederate army,
now living In Augusta, and Sidney
Smith, who died several years ago.
The bridesmaids were Nellie Dent,
sister of the bride, who is now Mrs.
Sharpe of Washington, Sallie Wal
ker, a daughter of an old army offi
cer, and Julia Briggs, a relative of
the family.
ed 1818.
After the utatriage,Capt. Grant
was ordered to. Sackett's Harbor, N.
Y., and it was heti that the yet:mg
couple began their housekeeping. It
was modest enough, this beginning;
for the quartets- were furnished by
the Government and the present
Mistress of the White Rouse, whom
couttesy calls the first lady in the
land, began her married life and her
housekeeping in a Government bar
rack. They lived modestly, some
times with one servant and some
times without any; but they were
yery happy for all that; for Gen.
grant has always been a domestic
man, fond of his old friends, a faith
ful husband, and a kind father. It
was here that he became acquainted
with C. W. Ford, now of St. Louis,
and an intamacy sprung up which
pas never been broken. There is
probably no man having closer tele
tlons of affection with the President
than Mr. Ford. He was once offer
ed the Assistant Secretaryship of the
Interior, with the promise of promo
tion, and if Mr. Delano ever does his
country the service to get out of the
office, there is little doubt that Mr.
Ford would fit his place. Mr. and
Mrs. Grant continued 'at Sac t'
'of dellede health, was unable to *en
dure the Isthrims trip, and returned
to her father's home... Their first
child, Frederick Dent Grant, new ,
Second Lieutenant of the 4th Caval
ry, but temporarily on General Sher
dan's staff, as aid, with the rank' of
Lieutenant-Colonel, was born soon
after, in 1850, at the same house in
St. Louis where his parents were
married. Grant remained in Cali
fornia 21 years, and then left the ser
vice and came to St Louis, not hav
ing seen his wife in all that time.
Mr. Dent at this time gave Grant a
portion of White Haven farm, and
he began to live the life of a farmer,
living with his wife's parents until a
house could ,be built on the laud he
had so easily acquired. Farming
was a sealed book to him, and al
though he worked hard "he could
not get the hang of it," as my infor
mant expressed himself. So plain
Mr. Grant traded off his farm 'for a
house and lot in St. Louis, and open
ed a real estate and collecting busi
ness. He found that he knew less of
this than of farming, and he was
again denied success. At this time
he found something defective in the
title to the town property, and the
trade was concealed. So he took
back his farm, which he now owns.
As is well known, Mr. Grant never
prospered in any business, and he
had some discouraging times. He
and his family were often with his
father, Jesse Grant, at Bethel, Ohio,
and also with her father. It was at
his father's house in Bethel that Mr.
Grant's second child, Ulysses S.
Grant, jr., was born, in 1852. He
goes by the nickname of "Buck" on
account of his having been born In
Ohio. He is a great favorite, and is
never addressed except as "Buck,"
Ij'e is a student at Harvard, but
home now on vacation. He accom
panied his father to Maine. He has.
been in Europe, and is said to be a
very promising .zeung man. The
third child, Nellierrinshall Grant,
was born at Wish-ton-Wisti' a por
tion of the old Dent farm, in 1856.
The fourth child, Jesse Root Grant,.
was born at the Dent homestead at
White Haven farm in 18.58. 'Miss
Nellie has been educated by private
tutors at home with Jesse who enters
Cornell Unieersary as a student at
the next term. Mrs. Grant has been
the most devoted and tender of mo
.oerssand here she has her reconi

death. The four children are now
all here and participated in the en
joyments this evening. Mr. Dent
was unable to leave his bed. Mrs.
Casey, Mrs. Grant's sister, is also
quite ill, and unable to leave her bed
at the hotel. A young son of tier's is
also dangerously sick. Mr. Casey,
however, dined with the President
to-day, and was present this even
ing.
There were no ceremonies this
evening; no invitations whatever
were issued, and no preparations
made for a reception or banquet. A
few friends called in sans ceremonie,
congratulated the family, and ex
tended appropriate compliments.
There were no relatives of the family
present, except those mentioned
above. The presents were few and
of a modest character. The names
of the donors were not given out, the
desire of the President being to avoid
any
.gossip or remark on a matter of
such purely personal character.
PSYCHOLOGICAL.
Extraordinary Powers of a Das
enport Lady—A Parallel to
R. Brown, the Red Oak Won
der._
The Davenport (Iowa). Democrat,
in noticing the report of the perform
ances of J. R. Brown, lately pub
lished in the Chicago newspapers,
says that a highly educated and re
fined lady of that city, Mrs. Bleik
Peters, possesses the same remarka
ble powers. Though adverse to ex
hibiting her peculiar trsychic state,
she occasionally . astonishes her
friends by performing the most mar
velous feats while in wstate of seem
ing sornnambulance. It is not at all
necessary that the lady should be
thrown into a mesmeric trance to
elicit these 'powers. As in the case
of the young man from Red Oak,
simple contact with the party know
ing the secret work to be performed
is sufficient: Mr. Frank I. Jervis,
the editor of the Democrat, has test
ed the lady's occult faculty on sever
al occasions. Once in particular he
placed his watch in a box, locked the
box and put the key in a third par
ty's pocket, then placed the box in a
basket, and after tying all the hard
knots he could invent, hid it in an ad
jacent room, no one but himself be
ing cognizant. He then resolved
that the lady should discover that
watch and place it in her husband's
hands. He, without, intimating au
idea of his desire, merely laid his
hand gently upon the lady. She im
mediately closed her eyes, and glided
rather than walked to the door of the
room, opened it, went to the table.
took up the basket, leisurely untied
the knots, took out the box, carried
it to the gentleman who had the key,
which obtaining, she unlocked the
box. took out the watch, and, placing
it in the hands of her husband, start
ed at once into the realization of hay
ing performed some involuntary act.
This lady is susceptible to the influ
ence at all times and from any friend
ly hand, so that mesmeric power
seems to have nothing to do with it.
So powerful is the control which her
husband has over her intellectual fac
ulties that he can control her actions
when out of sight and some distance
away. He has been known to sit in
the earden while the lady was busied
with her household duties, and by a
mere act of volition has forced obe
dience to his unuttered wishes.
Such experiments seem to prove the
existence of a physico-psychological
force, to which the name of "animal
magnetism" is most commonly ap
plied. The existence of such a force,
has long been suspected, but the con
ditions of its operations are so rare,
and the means of verifying the testi
mony concerning it are sokilunsystem
atized, that it has no scientific re
cognition whatever.

Mors i troublel
The otherday, in a thoaghtles mo
rnent,l sent this paragraph to - the
Daily Graphic:
Organ-grinders readily make from
VIS to $2O per day in Saratoga. It is
a common thing for theta to make
enough to retire on in one season.
I did it innocently.— I don't like
organ-grinders. ' They never make
me happy unless they are some place
where I can't hear them.
My Uncle . Consider says. "But you
can get a good deal of real pleasure
out of a hand-organ;' . .-Eli, ifyou only
think so."
"How?" I asked. •
Why, by not listening to it."
The effect of that paragraph was
something wonderful. The Troy
Whig copied It, and then the Saralo
titan. I think it must have been
translated into Italian and sent over
the cable to Italy. The organ-grin
ders, who have been pouringr-,lntd

here so quickly, too. Why, the
Daily Graphic had not been Pub
lished six- hours before organ-grin
ders began to ride in on freight ears
from Ballston, with a copy of the pa
per in their pockets. An hour after
wards they began to gather in from
Troy and Albany. The next day
Syracuse Sent her delegation, and
the Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago.
Rock Island , and Denver, and now
they are pouring in from California.
They came up from New York like
a Fenian raid, and Boston and Phil
adelphia and Baltimore must have
been depopulated.
"Music?"
Yes, by the acre. Tons of melody.
Boat-loads of symphony. Hogs
heads of harmony, and wagon-loads
of noise. Organ-grinders now throng
the country roads, flowing over into
the fields. They stand four organs
deep along the pavement—all grin
ding as if propelled by a perpetual
motion. The music of Jubilee Gil
more is drowned out. First, it be
came a whisper. Then we could on
ly hear an occasional vibration from
the base drum. Then, though we
could see the men wildly tooting at
their big brass instruments, no sound
could be heard above the din of the
organs. When poor Gilmore found
he couldn't make any more noise,
his heart was broken. He was a ru
ined man. Sadly he gathered up his
instruments, which had made so
many disturbances, and wended his
way to the depot. "Take me any
where," he said, "hut take me where
they cannot come." He referred to
the organ-grinders. Then he flung
his arms wildly in the air and Jump
ed'on the train. Alas! it was a jest
retribution tnat the man who has
drowned down so many should at c
last be squelched. It was the bitter
bit—Gilmore gulled.
Lander and Bernstein had copper
plates riveted over their ears, and
thus continued their dance music for
two days, while the young people
went through the Lancers from
memory. But when the organ
grinders began to appear at the win
dows, and let their monkeys climb
up on theplayers' backs and run
around through the sets, they too,
became distouraged. From discour
agement They went on to remorse,
and then on to Mechanicsville, where
they committed suicide._Bernstein

Now, the organ grinders 'took the
hotels, they occupied 'the rooms and
drove the non-musil guests into
the streets. At diuper, the halls
were filled with monk ys and organs,
while the grinders revelled in sump
tuous resorts. comdore Vander
hilt gave up his rooms to an aged
organ-grinder, and his poor family
are now encamped in the park.
Governor Warmouth has taken a
garret-room in a neighboring farm
house. 1 am still here, but last night
I slept on the floor, while three oc
eupied my bed—a man, his wife and
two pretty daughters. Congressman
Marvin has sent his family to Balls

on the scaffolding around the new
United States. He says he likes the •
music. 'Charley Smith. who plays
the piano so beautifully, has pur
chased a hand-organ, and now trav
els up and down the street. He took-,

John Morrisey's place is deserted.
The organ-grinders steep upon the
damask carpets, and their monkeys
play with the cards and toss the
white chips about the floor. Wil
liam Leland has left his hotel, pur
chased four organs, and is now pay
ing large sums of money to mechan
ics and farmers about Saratoga to
keep them perpetually going, while
from morning till night he is to be
seen passing his hat. He receives
nothing but five dollar-bills. „Or

offices, at the depot, in the ball
rooms—everywhere. No one knows
what will be the result. We trem
ble at the thought of terrible things
to come. Not an army with ban
ners, but an army with organs.
Can you not help us?
With tears in our eyes we beg you
to do something—say organ-grinders
make $3O a day in Albany—any
thing to get them to go away. We
Want rest. If it goes on so a day
longer, we shall all fill our ears , with
putty, and go out into the fields to
die. Help us!
—Admiral Semmes, formerly the
commander of the Alabama, made a
speech defending his career in the
Confederate service, at the meeting
of the Southern Historical Society at
Montgomery, White Sulphur
Springs, Va.,on Saturday. He
maintained that the Alabama had
warrants for all she did, and that her
conduct was fully justified by that of
the United States during the Revo
lution and the war of 1812. He de
nied burning ships without authority
of law, the violation of his parole,
- and the carrying of foreigners on his
shin. Ho also said that if the nation
exists we will have but one history.
England has but one history. Our
Confederatkkhistory will live for a
generation or more, but only as an
episode in that of the country. Lgt
usshow magnanimity. If fame has
been gained on either side, let us per
petuate it. Let us pursue that mod
erate course, and give credit whefe
credit is due. Ho was willing to be
judged by the standard of truth; and
willing to leave his history and that
of the Alabama, the Florida, and
Shenandoah to be written when there
will be cherished no more North, no •
more South.
—The few returns that have been
received from the recent election in
the Cherokee nation indicate, the
success of the Dowling party. Dow]•
ing it will be understood, is the chief
of the nation, and his triumph is
favorable to the establishment gig
territorial government for the Chero
kees and the erection of the tertitery
of Ockmulgee. If that project shall,
be realized, it will be observed with •
interest how the Indians deport
themselves under the tesponSibilitles
and ' priyitem of self-government.
One result will be•to • put an Indian
in Congress, which has never yet
been done—Chicago Ames..
