A very pretty bit of patriotism and seme
little of a twist aud turn in pelillcM it amur
ent by the cards published in the Kssex
Gazette rolatlve te the departure of Gov.
Hutchinson from the province el Massachu
setts in 1774. It appears that sundry citizens
had given the governor n send-etr and had
landed him. Soen after Hutchinson's de
parture the battles of Lexington and Concord
had taken place, and there w as a change et
sentiment; se the signers et the address et
laudation te the governor took back all they
had said and sigued te. It would never have
done for the gentleman te have been accused
of Teryism. J. Fewle Is right down plain
and honest, for he points his recantation in
this way: "Whereas 1, the subscriber,
signed an address te the late Governer Hut
chinson I wish the Devil nad said Address
before I had seen it. J. Fewle, Marblohead,
Oct. 21, 1771." Certainly J. Fewle was no
hypocrite.
They did net say teeth brushes a century
age, but " teeth brushes " and " teeth lew
der." Isaac Greenwood, whose advertise
ment is ornamented with the queerest kind
of a rough woodcut of a simpering woman,
with a " construction " en her head and a
parasol in her hand, will sell " teeth
brushes" and "wilt repair violins, make
flutes, tlfes, hautbeys, clarlonets, tambey
frames, backgammon boxes, men aud dies,
billiard balls and lemon squoezers." Here
is the curious heading of an auctien: "By
authority Jewels and Diamonds for senti
mentalists. "Kebort Bell, boeksoller,
Provedore te tee Sentimentalists, is just ar
rived from Philadelphia," aud will sell his
tory, art, science, novels and adventure "by
the most ancient aud modern authors, who
have explored, Investigated and attempted
te illuminate the human understanding
with the godlike attribute el knowledge."
Certainly In tbose days, which are past,
these peer authors had their meed or praise
allotted them. In 1701 Salem has a wax
work exhibition, and in the Kden Musee of
that time there was "the unfortunate Barou
Trenck in real chains " and " Docter Frank
lln dressed in a suit or his own clothes."
Baren Trenck was peripatetic for a great
many years In wax, ami always was dressed
"In real chains." Baltlmore In 17N3 had a
very barefaced but iersuaslve man in it
when Tem Hepburn tried te sell liquors with
this advertisement: "The Kesy Ged, ever
attentive te the wants and wishes of his vota
ries here below, has for their use deposited in
the hands of the subscriber (one of his eldest
Tapsters) seme or his choicest gifts, the best
Produce of various vlutages, etc., etc." Somo Semo Some
timoathe advertisements contain notices of
goods which are quite mixed. W. I. Bart
lett, of Salem, In 1&8 will sell " next Friday
Bandannees, Broadcloths, Whalebone,
Bibles, Bottled mustard and Playing cards,"
with a few pounds of nutmegs." The Bar
nums of America went their rounds early,
for Mr. Gilbert exhibits at Salem " a large
Babeon, a Porcupine, Bear, Ilackoen aud
Babbit; a collection of Living animals,

She climbs the hill-top, leeks around
Her caer feet hae reached their goal ;
Karth-atlsfied is her full soul.
" Santa Cecilia," of t they call
The heavenly singer, humm yet.
Midst home and babes does she ferg"l
The narrow cell, the convent wall.
Or through applauding crowds can hear
The nuns' meek voices chanting clear
Who knows ? Shu lived her life they say,
Serene, contented, proudly pure.
Of earth and heaven alike secure.
Till out el herbluesky ene day
The belt fell. Chlldlee, widowed, lone.

One May morn at the convent gate
A pale, gaunt woman knocked and cried .
" Open Oh, let me here abide ;

" Who art thou" "That yeuuit slstei giy,
The singer celled Veronica."
Laughed the geed nun "Our sister dear
Has never left these peaceful nails;
Kuch morn and evehersw-ert volce calls
Te prayer, and saints and angels hear.
Her face is lovely, as of yere.

In her old cell thateven tldu
Veronica awoke, and saw,
With a strangeiiulet, mixed with awe,
Her old self sitting by her side.

All the streets and places are still half in
shadow. A soft mist rrem .1 lovely fountain
touches him with a refreshing moisture. A
stately obelisk throws its shadow across his
pathway. Beggars hauut the portico of the

and then an Kugllsh traveler, habited like 11
frlaref orders gray, his guide-book burning
like a llama Itis clothes are subdued In
tone, but, with rare exceptions, this class el
tourists Is ueer subdued in manner. Then,
having fully emerged lute the lullncs of the
Mjft yet richly dlliused daylight, he pauses
te think whither he .shall turn bis course and
hew lie shall sieud his day most profitably
among the antique ru-bes and the modern
(everty of Keine. And while he is thinking
he invests two cents in .1 glass of lemeuale
which a peasant-like girl, standing behind a
miniature fountain In a little opening in the
wall resembling the wicket In an American
postelllce, otlers him with a smile that he
takes all te himself, though it is gratuitously
lavished en the whole world irrespective of
social station. By this lime lie has concluded
that be will go te the Vatican or St. Peter's.
It may be the first tlm it may Ixj the second
or third, but this makes no ditlerence. One
may Uve years in Keme, yet still visit with
ever-renewed interest the most magnificent
church in the world and the art marvels or
tbe Papal palace. Se, having looked in at
the neighboring church, w here a black-robed
priest withdraws for bisceuienleme the cur
tain which covers the " Christ en the Cress,"
by fiuide, hanging above the altar, he
mounts the omnibus and Is berne through
the devious streets and across the Ponle
Sante te Angele te the sacred locality.
AT THK V TII-AN.
As nil tU,e re-ids in Italy once conducted te
Berne, be all the omnibus lines in Howe con
duct te St. Peter's. It Is taken for granted
that everybedy wants te go there, and wants
te go eften. Ne matter in what quarter of the
city you bapjien te be you get en the passing
omnibus or street car, aud In a few minutes
tlndyeurseir under the walls ei the Vatican.
Your first Idea of It Is that it is a building of
surpassing ugliness, and you de net recover
Irem your primal linprumteii. The multi
tude of omnibuses of all lines are drawn up
in rows at the end of ene ei the colenades of
the oval place which gives the church its per
specUve opposite the wall, which you have
ample opportunity te centemplate arriving
and departing. It t-eems te rlse botere you
lu numberless stories bare, blank, small
windowed, without cornice, destitute of or er
nament. That It may eem a little mero ri ri
diculeus, the doeiostics of the Papal house
hold, who live en this side, en wash days
hang out of the windows the family linen,
Including the articles of wearing apparel
whose usefulness Is confessed, but whose
names are net mentioned in iolite society,
and there it dries and blanches and waves
and flutters en the outer walls like Macbeth'
banners.

of spaciousness In any building Intended for
human habitation, except us te circumference
aud the general details, seems hardly te have
eutered the minds of builders three or lour
hundred years age. The external wall of a
castle might be a mlle In ulrcuinforenco, an

Michael Davitt, who ranks among Ire
land's most popular men, was born in Maye
county. Hobasdevotod many years of his
life te the solution of the Irish question, and
has been In prison for his connection with
Irish politics rer ever nine years in all. This
length et time was passed In several jails and
convict establishments. He was treated as an
ordinary prisoner, net being allowed any in
dulgences, until the favor was granted him
(en his remission te Portland prison 011 the
3d or February, IW1, after breaking Jliis
licket-eMeive,) te koep a little blackbird.
This bird, named Joe, was the ''Solitary
Audience" of the book which he wrete while
in prison aud which was published in Lon Len Lon
eon In Kw4, under the title of "Leaves from
a .Prison Diary; or Lectures te a Solitary
Audience." Beth sad and serious, gay and
amusing are the notes round therein ;
written in a style at once simple and elo
quent. ;He writes with much pathos
or his "chum Jee;" most especially in
the passage where he releases his little
companion. He says: "1 opened the deer
with a trembling band, when, quick as a
Hash or lightning, he rushed Irem the cage
with a wild hcream of delight and lu a mo
ment was beyond the walls of the prison."
In speaking et his hope that the bird would
return te him, he says : "the Instinct or free
dom was tee strong te be resisted, though 1
had Indulged the fend hope that be would re
main with me." After Davitt's rolease from
prison iie went te England and spent seme
time there maturing future plans. He in
tended going te Australia before visiting
America, but that plan was abandoned, ami
he will be In this country, as envoy of Mr.
Parnull, at the coming Chicago convention.
He intends delivering lectures and hopes te
make theiii financially successful se that he
can return te Ireland and doveto hlmselt en

from. That amateur incendiary was Admi
ral Mr lieorge Cm kburn, of the" British navy,
who had wantonly desolated villages nnd
plantatiins en the cixist et Delaware and
Cbe.-JiMke bay the previous year.
The bulk of the British brlgadehaltisl upon
the plain isjtween the i-.ipitel aud the con

seual spite, in Its attack iisnn private prop

the destruction et seme houses en Capitel

houses and stens were plundered. Ceck
burn then proceeded te burn the arsenal and
the barrarks ler ihnsj thousand troop, also
the untimsheit c-.ipitel, with the library or
Congress, the president's house and the
treasury building. These produced a con cen con
llagratlen which was plainly seen at Balti
more, forty miles distant. In tlie course of
a lew hours nothing of the superb capitol and
the presidential mansion was left but their
smoKe-blackened walls Ofthe public build
ings nothing but the putentotllce was spared.
In .1 letter written tome irem Londen in
11,1, by Sir Duncan McDougall, a descend
ant or " tbe Lord el the Isle," who w.is
Bess' favorite aide, and who was also the
nide or (ieneral Pakeuham when he loll at
New Orleans 11 low- months afterward, he
said: "It was net until he (Bess) was
warmly pressed that he consented te destroy

Whilst the public buildings in Washington
were in tlames the public property at our
navy yard was all ablae ; also the long
bridge across the Potomac between Wash

assistance as they might give. Tliev re-
malued en the Held until Commedore Bar

joined Winder, fell, badly wounded, when
they lied toward theclty as fast as Heet horses
could carry them. The " dovernment" thus
became ene of the llrst messengers te the
anxiously-waiting people, of the startling
new sol the defeat el their troops and the
impending danger. Over this night rrem
the Held el cenlllct el l'rosldent Madisen aud
his cabinet, the opiKsIllen press and orators
were very merry, ami sharp epigrams, bread

put forth a caricature, representing n stam

Were the last words of Madisen.' "
Mrs Madisen hail, meanwhile, recelved
messages Irem her husband advising her et
the progress of events at the front. When
Congrevo rcckets causeil the mllltla te break
ami ilee, lu n panic, the president sent mes
sages te his wife, telling her that the army
would probably be deteated, and advising
her telly te a place of sarety, for the capture
of theclty seemed Inevitable.
This startling Intelligence reached Mrs
Madisen between two and three o'clock lu
the afternoon. She at ence packed her plate
and otlier valuables, and sent thorn in a
wagon te be deposited lu the bank et Mary

ready for Immediate use, If necessary, ami
she invited her sister (Mrs. Cults) and her
