TOO LATE.
BY ELIZABETH BIGELOW.
Tho clear sunlight lay rich and warm .
Ou tho meadows green and fa#.
And tho wild bird's song rang loud and high
Through the morning’s dewy air.
Over tho meadow brook I loaned,
Watching Its merry fall, s *
And over tho little bridge sho came,
My lovo, my darling of all.
“ Now. heart,’* I said, “bo bravo and bold,
And hush your wild, wild beating;
Now faltering lips, bo quick,” I said,
“ To give her love's own greeting.
“ To toll her all tho deep, llcop lovo
That never will lot mo rest;
To toll her tho terrible doubts and fears
That rankle iu ray breast.” .
But O, when sbo stood bcsldo mo,
So daintily sweet and fair.
With her deep wood violet’s blue In her eyes,
And tho chestnut brown iu her hair.
My stammering Ups refused to speak, •
My coward eyes looked away;
And over the meadow sho went and took
All the brightness of the day.
The brightness of my life sho took
Forever and ever away;
For lu all the springs that the slow years bring.
Will never come back that day.
The wild birds sing still loud and high,
And the meadow grasses wave,
And the sunlight still is rich and warm,
But rhinos, ah, mot on her grave.
THE JUDGE, THE DETECTIVE, AND THE
SILVER TEA-POT.
Mr. Justice Mullen, of the Supreme
Court of New York, is distinguished for
grout simplicity of manner and superior
abilities as a judge. The exigencies of
judicial business frequently demanded
bis presence in this district. On a recent
visit be brought with him a valuable sll
ver tea pot needing a little repair, and re
quiring nicer manipulation than was ob
tainable at his rural residence. On leav
ing the tit. Nicholas Hotel, where ho was
stopping, he did precisely what he would
have done at home—took the pot in ins
hand to carry to the silversmith. On
coming out’ of the door, however, he
thought he would slip it under his over
coat, which he did, hut did it just at the
moment a detective happened to be pass
ing; who noticed the movement, mid
thought he would 11 pipe” the old gent
After doing this for a few rods, aua no
ticing that the party frequently cast fur
tive glances at different objects, he be
came satisfied that the pot must have
been purloined from the hotel. He there
fore quietly tupped the judge on the
shoulder and said:
“ I want you !”
“For what, sir!”
“Oh you know I Just you come aloug
with me I”
“ Come along with you! What do you
mean ?” slightly indignant.
“ Oh, no use to try that on me; you
come Quietly to tho station house, that’s
all! That tea pot under your
understand?” ,
“ Why” (assuming a more decided
tone) “ that's my tea pot.
u Oh, certainly !by all means! of course
it’s your tea pot; won’t do though ; that
dodge is played out; come along, aud
don’t bother!”
Here the justice stopped and said:
“Sir, I am Justice Mullen, of the Su
preme Court. I don?t know you, nor
what vou men- n --°ofi-dnnt.wi»h.-to-te*
uoyetr.-*
“ You Justice Mullen I Oh, certainly I
no doubt about that! of course you’re
Justice Mullen ! Justicescf the Supreme
Court are always going down Broadway
with silver tea pots under their coats—
always doing-that sort of thing! But
that cock won’t tight; so come along, or
I’li make short work with you.”
“ Hook here, sir,” said the Judge,
"here is an establishment” (pointing to
the store in front of which they stood)
‘•the proprietor of which will at once
identify me, and stop this farce.”
“ All right, .go in v*
In they walked, but unfortunately the
proprietor was out. Detective, becoming
impatient, said;
“Do any of you know this fellow?”
Not being recognized by any of the
clerical‘force, the officer thinking there
hud been too much “talkee, tulkee” al
ready insisted upon a prompt compliance
.with hia requisition. His Honor saw the
ridiculous predicament he was in, and at
once proposed going to the hotel, where
his identity could be promptly estab
lished. Detective, sure be hud “ nipped”
an old and adroit offender, and thinking
it might perhaps be well to restore th
tea pot to the owner, and then have his
light-fingered friend committed, acqui
esced, and accompanied ' the “ Hotel
thief” to the St; Nibholus- The sequel can
be better imagined than written. A
cheaper looking, a cheaper feeling Indi
vidual than the “ expert,” it would be
difficult to find. He is familiarly allu
ded to as “ Justice Mullen,” but he don’t
like it much.
The Grave of Braddock.— Among
the many things which time has brought
to light, is the answer of the oft repealed
query, “ Who killed Braddock ?. During
that memorable retreat of the British atm
provincial troops, Braddock ordered that
hla troops should not protect themselves
behind trees. One Jacob Fausett pre
sumed to disobey this order, when Brad
dock, in a passion, struck him with his
sword. Tom Fausett, who was but a
short distance from bis brother, saw the
whole transaction and immediately shot
the General through the luugs. The
Hon. *. Stewart, of Unlontown, Pa.,
says ids father often heard Fausett ac
knowledge this. After Braddock fell, his
body was carried by the troops for four
days, when heexpired. He was interred
in the middle of the road, so that all the
soldiers, wagons and horses might puss
over and obliterate nil vestiges of his
grave from the eyes of the savages. About
twenty-nineyeorsago, some laborers who
were repairing the road came upon the
remains, and taking a number of the
most prominent bones, re-interred the
others. Sometime alter wards the scat
tered bones were collected and sent to.
Peale’s Museum, which was in Philadel
phia at that time. Bradaook’s grave is
in Fayette county, this State, and is
marked by a plain shingle nailed to a
tree, where partof the bones are interred.
This is the only monument which serves
to point out to the traveler the last rest
ing place of the proud and brave but un
fortunate victim of Indian warfare.
Too Bio to Count. —The task of coun
ting out the dollars, at the rate of one
dollar a second or sixty a minute, which
would discharge the two thousand five
hundred millions of public debt of this
'country, would consume over two hun
dred years if attempted by a single indi
vidual, and ho could live to accomplish
it. To cancel this debt would require, at
the rate of cancellation now going on,
the labor of six millions, of operatives
ovcr*two thousand years; and then it
could not be.done for wc are not wiping
out any portion of it the present year, nor
do we bid fair to. The operation of this
“ blessing” has been “ splendid” for all
the Jay Cooke tribe. Millions per year
have gone from the many poor into the
pockets of the few rich.
It is quite easy to perform our du
ties when they are pleasant and imply
no self saoVifice; the test of principle is to
perform them with equal readiness when
they are onerous and disagreeable.
The Holy Land in 1867.—Th0 Chica
go Journal-lias a correspondent who Is
ptrollng through the Holy Land , and
Pallestine. He is not particularly Im
pressed with the present state, whatever
Its past may have been. Ho says :
“ T have not seen a wagon road Iu Pal
estine. Even the stones and timber for
building the houses of Jerusalem must be
brought into thejclty upon the ’bucks of
camels and donkeys; and the roads over
which Abraham, David,. Christ and the
Apostles once traveled are but paths
winding over rocks aud around the base
of sterile mountains. In fact, this whole
land, said to have been so beautiful, is
now but a rocks*, barren waste. I think
I hove seen more good land iu onesqimre
mile In lowa or Illinois than in all Pal
estine.
Much of the country is occupied by the
Bedouin Arabs, and for the'privilege of
visiting the river Jordan and Bead Sea,
their Stick requires; $2.50 ’cents for each
person. For this Amount ho sends a
guard of Arabs with you.
The population of Jerusalem is now
said to he but 13,000. The correspondent
upon this faot moralizes thus:
“While looking at the city as it now
Stands, with its narrow streets Ailed with
dogs, Arabs, and filth, it is hard to real
ize that it was once the homo of more
than one million human beings, and the
proud metropolis of a mighty nation.—
while looking out at the window nt the
Mosque of Omar, where the Turk bears
rule, 1 can but ask myself the question,
is It possible that on that spot stood tho
temple of Solomon ? Ts it there that
David held his court? The pages of ids
tory answer, “Yea, that spoils Mount
Moriah. Upon that temple whoso glory
tilled the whole earth,”
Pretty Incident.— The other day a
wedding took place at tho Madeline
Church in Paris, between a very noble
gentleman and lady, and among the
crowd that gathered outside to see the
splendid bridal party was a miserable
beggar about twelve years old. Now in
Paris every one who has not something
to sell’ls curried off to a police house—if
they stop in the streets as this one did—
and accordingly an officer was just asking
her if she had anything to dispose of and

Incomprehensible.— There are three
things supremely Incomprehensible
Time, distance,'‘velocity. Of time, we
are always its possessors but never pos
sess it. The post gone, the present is go
ing, and the future Ims not come to us.—
As for distance, we may indeed gaze into
its realms, but who cau measure Us pro
fundity but Him whom the heaven of
heavens cannot contain Science makes
the brain reel as it sends down its sound
ing lines, but what they bring up is but
sand grains from the fathomless caves
aud vast immensities of eternity's ocean.
And of velocity, we pause utterly con
founded at the idea of light moving

very singular how the fact of a man’s
death often seems to give people a truer
idea of ids character, whether lor good or
evil, than they have ever possessed while
he was Jiving and acting among them.—
Death is so genuine a fact that it is a
touchstone that proves the gold and dlsr.
honors the baser metal. Could the de
parted, whoever he may be, return in a
week after his decease, he would almost
invariably find himself at a higher or
lower point that be had formerly occupi
ed on the scale of public appreciation.
Newspapers.— ln a lecture upon news
papers, delivered in Philadelphia, by
Kev. De Witt Talmage,. he said: “I
now declare that I consider the newspa
pers to be the grand agency by which the
Gospel is preached, ignorance cast out,
oppression dethroned, crime extirpated,
the world saved, Heaven rejoiced and
God glotified. In the clunking of the

‘ Lazarus, come forth I’ and to the retreat
ing surges of darkness, * Let there be
light.’
A Good Hit. —An editor who seems to
have lost hla temper, gets off, the follow
ing well merited hit:
“ Those fellows who don’t take their
homo paper, watch them ! they are al
ways on the alert on the publication day,
and when the paper comes around to
your place of business, are the first to
snatch ft up; failing in this, they read it
over your shoulders, too impatient to de
mean themselves in a respectful manner.
Spot these fellows. They are the small
suuled, stingy handful, who go through
the world on other folk’s money,”
Value op Advertising. —The largest
income in New Hampshire is said to he
that of a proprietor of a preparation
known as a** hair restorer.” A half doz
en years ago this “restorer” was un

income is from printer’s ink. People

that the desperate and reckless course ol
the Radicals is calculated to do groat in

will be heard by the people, and will help
greatly to make clear the issues of the

avail much in tire Congressional elec

Washington, June 24.—The follow-
U the protest which Mr. Brooks proposed
to oiler in the House to-day against the
Mtlmission of the Representatives of the
Slate of Arkansas: t
Tne recognized presence of three per
sons on the Hour of this House from the
State of Arkansas, sent here hy military
force, acting under a Brigadier General
of the army, but nevertheless claiming to
be members of this Congress, and to
share with us, the Representatives of the
free States, in the imposition of taxes and
customs and ether laws upon our people,
makes It our imperative duty, in this the
.first case, to remonstrate most solemnly
and to protest ua solemnly against this
perilous and destructive innovation up
on the principles and practices of our
hitherto constitutional self-govern
ment. The so-called reconstruction nets
which created the military government
in Arkansas and like governments in
other Squthern States to share with us in
the legislative power of the Northern and
Western free people, wo have every rea
son to believe, have been held to be un
constitutional by the Spureme Court of
the United Stales, the public declaration
of which fact was avoided only hy the
extraordinary and strange device of tills
Congress in snatching Jurisdiction from
the Court in the MoArdlo case, when
wuch a vuVj\\o dcctoWm Tfna aVinut to lie
made. Of the three great branches of the
Government, it seems, then, that after
tlie Executive vetoed these acts as uncon
stitutional, the judiciary adjudicated
them to be so, while a Congress, the cre
ation of but twenty-seven of the thirty
seven Slates of the Union, overrides these
equal and co-ordinate branches of that
Government, first by* voting down the
vetoes, next by nullifying tbe judgment
of the Court, in an era of profound peace,
when not an armed man rises against the
Government from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande, there, in.ten States, our
American historical way of creating the
organic law has been utterly subverted
hy the bayonet. Ever since the Declara
tlon of Independence—with scarcely an
exception—and even amid the battles of
tlie Revolution, coventions have been
convoked through, and constitutions cre
ated by, the electors ol the States, the
only authorized depositories of tlie sov
ereign power of every Slate, without.ex
terior dictation, as under the existing
Federal Constitution. The hardest and
harshest* test oath required from X77(> to
the peace of 1783 was au abjuratlo oath of
allegiance to George - the Third, while
some of the so-called bayonet made Con
stitutions from tlie South propose absurd
and cruel tests—absurd, as is Arkansas
where Is interwoven In tlie organic Jaw
a mere party that between the Radical
Recoustructionists and the Democratic
Conservatives, such us would exclude
from voting, if living there, the thou
sands and tens of thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of Democrats in the
free States, (article 8, section 4 ;) or cruel,
as in Alabama, where no white man can
vote who will not forever foresware his
own race and color mid perjure himself
by swearing, in defiance of the law
of Ood, that the negro is his equal, and
forever to be his equal,at the ballot-hoxpn
the jury box,with the cartouch box, in the
school, in the college, in house and home
and by the fireside—in short, in* every
way, every where—(article 7 section 4.)
Now, in tlnjso and the other Southern
States, in the midst of war,rresident Lin
coln in His proclamation of December S. 18-
OU,offered amnesty and pardon to rebels
then in arms If they would lay down their
arms and take an oath of fidelity, while
now not a Union man in Arkansas or
Alabama can vole unless in the hist
placehe»wearaaUegiauce to lire majesty of
this Congress, and in the next swears' oh
his Americanism and Africanizes him
self.
Hitherto constitutions with ns have
been the outgrowth of popularijfe.sprlng
bur from the cxhoberanco of our enter
prize and energy in the settlement of the
loreat or pralriesof our country ; but here
before us now are nine conslitututiona
with one, if not three more to come from
Texas, which have all been 1 imposed up
on the people by live military satraps ,or
Penturehs in a manner never before
known under the law, but borrowed at
best from Imperial Homan civilization, or’
from the worst precedents of tl e French
revolution. Franco is then recorded to
have had five constitutions In throe years,
so frequently made and so frequently
.changed that they were ironically classed
by the French people with the periodi
cal lileiature «l the day. LouLiaua, a
colony of that France, lias had four con
stitutions hi four years, and a constitu
tion there has now become periodical lit
erature, us In France In.the agonies ami
throes of tin* great revolution. Laws
were statute laws, which can never be
created by'constitutions, are appended,
more or less, to all these constitutions;
and these bayonet-created, one branch
governments, with no Executive, no
Senate, no House of Representatives, no
Judiciary, have ordained invpealable,
irreversible laws in the very organism of
the Stale such as cannot thus be created
by the Executive, the Senate ami the
House of Representatives of legitimate
governments.when acting in unison and
all combined. Aii this has been dong
without regard to preceding constitutions
or precedents, or to .the common law of
the Stales, or the law of nations. The
military, which under legitimate Institu
tions can only he used in times ««f peace
to conserve or preserve the Stale, have
here been used to destroy Stales. The
General of the army, who represent the
sword, and only the sword of the Ri-puh-
Ifc, has been exulted by acts of Congress
above the constitutional Comnmnder-in-
Chief of the army and navy, in order to
execute those military decrees, ami a* the
surer way to throw out every vestige left
of constitutional law or liberty, the same
General of the army, in order to prolong
or perpetuate his military domination,
North and West, as well as South, has
been selected in parly convention, at
Chicago, to head the electoral vole for the
Presidency in ten of our, States, which
are as much under his feel as I urkey is
under the Sultan, or Poland under the
Czar of Russia But, as If only to add
insult to the injury of this military out
rage upon the popular Government in
these ten Stales,.either by act of Congress
or by these Congresssoldier-nmde Stale
constitutions, at leitst 250,000 whites have
been disfranchised, while 750,000 negroes
inexperienced in ah law making, and
more ignorant than our children, have
been enfranchised in their stead, and
have thus been created absolute masters
and sovereigns over the whole white
population of the’South.
Because of all this, and in opposition
to all this, we, Representatives ot the

test against this violence upon our peo

friends of popular government to submit
to this force and fraud only until at the

There Is no law in the land oyer the con-

against the right of this,military oligar
chy, established in Arkunsaw and else

Henry Clay’s Prophecy. —Henry
Clay, in his celebrated speech before the
Senate, delivered February 7, 1839, utter
ed the following prediction. It Is no less
prophetic Hum was the prediction of
Daniel Webster, in regard to the results
of abolitionism. Wo commend It to the
attention of the negro-lovers of to-day :
“The abolitionists, let mo suppose,
succeed in their present aims of uniting
the inhabitants of the free States as one
man against the inhabitants of the slave
Slates. * * * A virtual disso
lution of the Union will have already ta
ken place, while theform of its existence
remains. Tbe most valuable elements
of union—mutual kindness the feelings,
of sympathy, the fraternal bouds which
now happily unite us, will have been ex
tinguished forever. One . section will
stand, in menacing and hostile array
against the’ other. The collision of opin
ion will be quickly followed Ify the clash
of arms. I will not attempt to describe
scenes which now lie happily concealed
from our view. Abolitionists themselves
would shrink back in dismay and horror
at the contemplation of desolated Helds,
conflagrated -cities, murdered inhabi
tants, and the overthrow of the fairest
fabric of human government that ever
rose to animate the hopes of civilized
man. * * * I am, Mr. Presi
dent, no friend of slavery, * * but
I prefer the liberty of my own country to
that of any other people, and the liberty
of my own race to that of any other race.
The liberty of the descendants of Africa
in the United States, * * * If,
it were possible, could only be establish
ed by violating tlie incontestable powers
of the States, and subverting the Union.
And beneath the ruins of the Union
would be burled, sooner or inter, the lib
erty of both races,”

dering the editor of the CAoctaw herald,
a man who has not hesitated from theoul
«et to expose the’disgraceful character of

Choctaw Herald , was murdered in a moat
cowardly manner by Joshua Morse, the
Attorney General of the Hcallawug olh
gurchy which the so-called Congress at
Washington has just voted to recognize

the State of Alabama. He was assisted
by one Win, Gilmore, a loss eminent
member of the gang ,of renegade white
men, but well enough known. Mr.
Thomas has not been backward in ex
pressing his opinion of these creatures,
and It seems that they took the occasion
of the absence of most of his friends, on
a fishing excursion, or something of the
sort, to visit him athUolllce and provoke
a dUUculty. Gilmore made a commence

which resulted in Thomas firing a pistol
at him. Morse, who hud kept himself
in the background, appeal's by this time
to have niovided himself with a double

“ How is Griines ?” says I.

Then 1 met a delegate from Maine, and
asked him If he had seen Fessenden.
“ Fessenden is dead,” says he.
The next delegate I met was from Illi

getting on. ,
** Trumbull Is dead,” says he.
A delegate from Missouri then came
along, and I spoke to him about Hender
son.
Henderson is dead,” soys he.
The next delegate I saw woafropi Kan

“Rosa is dead,” says he.
Then 1 went up to a delegate from
Tennessee, and mentioned Fowler.
“ Fowler is dead,’* says.he.
A delegate from West Virginia came
in, ami 1 inquired for Van Winnie..
“ Van Winkle Is dead,” says he. •
I was getting tired of this, bo 1 asked
the next delegate that eamo in how wo*
the party.
And, ho said he thought the party was
dead too.
