A Freed Negro’s Soliloquy.
BY “ MUCK” POMEROY
TUs am a blessin'. Not only a bles
sin’ to tbe country but to de darkey !
The war was a God-send tons dar
keys, bress massa Abram, and all who
loves dat great and good name. Gorra
mitey! But didn't us darkeys have to
work on dein plantashuns down dur in
desouf! Um-uni guess dat am so. We
had to hoe de cotton, when it want
worf in de norf but free to seven cents
a pound. And we" had to weed de
'backer when it wan’t worf but five
dollars a load. And we had toeutde
sugur cane down in de souf when sugar
wan’t worf but free cents a pound in de
big barrel. And we had to do all dein
tings. Now we don't and its nice!
And gorra, didn’t we have to work
jest as de poor white trash of de norf
now lias to work ? Dat was afore de war.
And de darkey couldn’t go begging and
stealing all all over de happy land as
now. And it’s fashionable to steal. Dat
is de way de ablislinests got rich, and a
darkey is better nor an ablishnest, or
de white trash of de norf wouldn’t go to
war and get killed and den go home to
pay taxes for us children of Abra-Hum.
Dat's wat's de matter.
No more work for dis nigger. We'se
swapped our catin for a burme. Don’t
know wat dat is, but it’s a good tink if
do cost am de entering, or what you
(tall ein. Now de darkeys am der own
bosses. Yaas!
It cost dis government more nor
twelve thousand million dollars to set
us free, and we darkeys am now in
honor bound to honor our libraLors by
doing nuflin while they support us.
Didn’t know a nigger was worf so much
afore! Gorra! *Ao more work fora
gemrmin when he is worf so much as
dat! De cotton and de corn, do sugar
and de 'backer im.y go to de devil, for
de darkey hah quit de degredation oh
labor. We can now do as de blessed
abloshin, p’liiieal Dinkum generals did
in de war—we can steal mules, horses,
cotton, pictures, pianos, bedsteds,
books, silver ware and all deni little
tings. But gorra, w’sc got to go norf to
steal deni, lor de blessed Christian gen
erals stole all dt-y was in lie souf, and
took em norf. Dat am ehristiau patri
otism. We darkeys are natural Chris
tian patriots and know Itow to do dat
ting. Dis last war would have been
dun gon finished afore dis if dey hadn’t
been so much good slufi’ iu do souf to
steal. Gorra mity ! Dere wus so much
to steal down dere dat I thought afore
(iod deye’d never get de darkey free in
de world ! Yaas !
Serves dem wicked suthners just
right. Dey no business to be rich. T
goes about de Norf and I begs cold
victuals, for dey is better for de nigger's
teef dan hot victuals, aud 1 see in all de
ablishin houses of de Norf someting
what 1 saw in old massa's house in de
Souf. Jn de minister's house I see de
big Bible wid massa’s name, aud
missis’s name, and de young massu’s
name torn out. De ablishin minister
am a good man—lie takes de Word of
(iod wherever he finds um ! Dat Bible
iny massa had, and 'Lwas given to de
ablishin ministers in de Norf by de
oilieor who stoic* uni, so de minister
would pray for him. And I see de piano
misses played on down Souf, up Norf
now. Misses don’t piano now ! She am
foolish enough to pick poHles and frow
dem on de graves of dem dead rebels
down dur. And dut am good enough
fur her. She no business to love rebels,
and do Dinkum soldiers will see dat she
don't do em any morn ! Yaas!
I’ho been all over de country. I rides
In de curs— I sleeps in de best bedsut de
hotels—l ride on government ears and
steamboats, and 1 gets governmontibod.
It ain’t so good as de food massa guv
me, but Its more 'spensive, und don’t
coat me one cent. Gorra, but ain’t dis
nigger in luck! Lots of dsni edder nig
gers dun gone dead, cause dey has no
body to care for dem. But dat am dere
fault.
Oil! iL’snico! 1 don’t have to work
only when 1 wauls to. De poor white
trash now does all de work. Dey pay
twelve million dollars every year to
make one burore for us niggers, and dar
will lie lots of burores. Beckon de bu
rore for us niggers will cost so much dat
lie white trash won’t have no coffins
’fore soon! Ynas! .
And it serves deni fellers up Norfjust
right. Dey can now pay taxes and sup
port us ! tVe’i-i- been de slaves long
enough—now do white trash am slaves.
Work on, you poor while folks. Sup
port us darkeys, and de bond-holders,
and do political gemmen what are
ablishinlsts—its all right ! I’se gwlne
down to Washington to get an office. A
man told me totlier day dat ’twouldn’t
do no good, for J couldn't get one, and
now 1 1 ho goin' to see if de nigger con
gress,-h- republicans, us you call cm,dare
refuse ns niggers wluit we wauls! If
so, we'll vole agin cm, and den cut deru
fronts, as brassed John Brown taught
us to.
Oh, dear !
Clorramlty! but dis lieln u freeman’

nigger is gwine to die, like a poor old

Brick Pomeroy’s Experience at Niagara
It was two o’clock when I got there.
We went to the International, be
cause I wanted to get inter the national
inn.
George Colburn, the best aud best
looking hotelist in the Northern Con
federacy, is at the International, and he
is the chief among ten thousand and the
one altogether nowf; three cheers for
George!
I took a room. That is, we didn’t
take it away for it was too large to
carry.
Niagara waterfalls different from
others. All other waterfalls just a little
over two feet. Niagara Falls waterfalls
over a hundred feet, and no great feat
either.
Being iu a hurry, we borrowed a
candle and an umbrella and went forth
the night to look at the beauties of
nature. Seluh!
We couldu’t see it. That is the Falls.
The water tumbled over so fast it hid
the falls. Niagura is a great tumbler.
There are several tumblers full of it.
Next week they are to shutoff' at 7 P.
M., und let on at (i A. M., except on
npeclul occasions. This will save water,
and prevent folks from seeing them
without paying for them, This is be
cause our colored brother fought so
We went to ourroom. Thedamrour-
ing out of the window sounded like an
urmy of Fenians or the rushingof many
waters. I couldn’t sleep, so we raised
the window open and looked on the
beauties of nature. Bully for nate.
After a while or two I fell, Tout is
we fell asleep. What a fall. But not a
waterfall!
I dreumed of thee. And there came
a rapping upon the chamber. That is
to say upon the door thereof. It wub
made of glass and was full of cider, with
lemon rind In it and saccharine about
the edges.
“Colburn’s comps.”
Wo looked to see wliut it was, and
while looking we lost sight of it. But
to memory dour. 'Twasgood. Wesent
fur another. It came. Wus in need of
food. Had read of rinderpest in cattle,
so we sent lor another glass thing full
of eider. It came. ’Twus good, Still
hungry. Thought of “Hah bait” iu
pork. Dare not eat pork. Sent for an
other gluss full of eider. The curly
haired eatise of the late war smiled.
hank the eider. Kelt hungry. Wanted
to eat, hut the plague in sheep makes
mutton dangerous. Couldn't think of
mutton, ho we tried for another glass of
eider. That eider never saw upplen,
hut it must have been made in a cider
mill. It made our head think of the
way the horse went round. Still hun
gry. Dare not try sausages. Dogs are
poisoned. So we sent for another glass
of that, of Colburn. Wanted to know
why these tilings were thus. Still bun-,
gry. Thought of ordering lish; but
they are poisoned with coculus indicus.
Dure nut try fish, for fear Home coroner
would have tuofflciateon account of the
lisli I ate. That is a scaly pun—on a
small scule. If the somebody willspear
my life, I’ll never he caught on that
line again by hook or by crook.
1 had niue of these beverages in one
hour. ’Twas ou account of our thirst.
Thought it about time to arise and
girdle our armor on. Must see Niagura.
Unlike gold, the more it falls the better
it pleases. Didn t feel hungry. Thought
best to get up. Advanced out of bed.
Thought I'd take hath. Bath brick are
good; so thought a Brick (iath would he
good. Changed our min'd. Sat down
ou edge of bed. Drew ou oue leg of
drawers. Felt queer. The bed had
changed sides. Lopped down on bed
to hold it straight. Pulled on oue boot.
Putou vest. Tried to get night shirt
off'after vest ou. Nightshirt heat us.
Put ou lint. Put ou other boot. Tried
to pull drawer on over boot. Couldn’t.
Bested. Bang for ice water. Tried to
button paper collar to bosom studs. Col
lar was too short. Tried to put pants
on over head, by holding our legs close
together. It is un impossibility ! Tried
to gut suspenders under vest without
taking vest off'. Mude our hair pull!
Tried to tie necktie with one end over
our shoulder. Bung for tiie waiter to
ind other half’ of necktie. Ho found
t! Paid waiter a ten dollar bill by mls
uke. Tried to brush our teeth with
tooth brush. I t hud grown so. It was
tliu nail brush I How our hair pulled !
Pulled Itself. Hud waiter pour ice-water
on our head. Had him rub it. Kelt
bettor. Niagara Kalis are good for head
aches! Was four liours in dressing.
Took six naps while dressing. Nothing
extraabout our wardrobe either. Simple
and short, like a Keuian war !
Went to dinner. Lots of people went
to dinner. Was not severe on the appe
tite, but wesouped, fished, boiled, baked,
roated, fricaseed, side dished, entreed,
relished, pastried ; was wineu,raisened,
appled, oranged, figged and nutted till
our herculean frame felt us full as those
head did after the ninth cocktail in the
A. M. Then a genteel artist of brunette
cast of features brought us a blue bowl
of lemonade. A pint of water —one lit
tle piece of lemon about the size of a
coat button uud a small towel. A very
young towel! Kollowing the example
of a countryman at an opposite table,
we drank the lemonade, but it was too
thin to be exhilirating ! Guess it wasn't
agood day for lemonade. Beckon lemons
were scarce!
Never saw so much water for so little
“fruit" before. Great watering place —
that Is for lemonade.
Then I wentout. Weweutout. Went
out to look at tiie Kails, that Is wlmt we
mean. Couldn't see the Kails In tiie
House. Wasn’t agood day. At least
Colburnsaidso,and heknoweth. Went
out with our sweetheart to see the Kails.

How to Talk to Women.
There is good sense in the following
which we copy from a Washington
letter to the New York Independent,
the correspondent being a lady :
At a small select party, the other eve
ning, a learned Senator made me wonder
how old the world would be when great
men should speak to women as if they
were sensible beings ! This gentleman
had been conversing with a brother
Seuatoron thesubjectof public moment,
which interest us all, touching as nearly
the women who love their couniry as
the men. Anybody with a tolerable
knowledge of the English language
understood that conversa
tion. At least the wife of the Senator
stood listening with keen interest. But
when the gentleman turned to address
her, he altered his voice, he changed
his manner, as witli one vast effort
he dropped to the level of small
talk. And, oh! what do you think
was the first thing he told her?
A lib, of course. He told her she
“looked charming,” the poor thing,
standing there faded and jaded, in the
pitiless gas light. Then he remarked
on the weather. Then he asked her
how mnny receptions she had attended
during the season. Then liehudn’t uuy
thing more to say. Then he looked
awfully bored. Then he wondered
when supper would be ready. The lady
felt Instinctively that the learned man
supposed, us a matter of course, that she
hud neither knowledge nor Interest In
any subject which could possibly inter
est him. TlmlU and sensitive, she did
not dare to destroy the supposition by
broaching a subject, or expressing an
opinion, lest this very masculine
man should change his mind, and
think her strong-minded and un
feminine. This lady had read much,
and thought more, .and felt most
keenly on every subject of public and
private weal. And this wise man, in
showing what he supposed to be his
superiority, showed only how very
stupid even a wise man may be. Thus,
I am afraid that the world will be very
old before men will realize that they
can take aught but the smallest of talk
to women whom they meet in society.
But, Monseigneurs, pray do not make
too great an effort to descend to the
level of our comprehension. A woman
need not be formidably strong-minded,
nor frightfully literary, nor painfully
scientific, to have common sense, and
to be able to talk sensibly on all general
subjects. Women read newspapers
with as much avidity as men ; and who
can read the newspapers and remain
Ignorant of tiie great questions of the
day? With all our schools, the preßS
is un ever-present educator. Thus, my
dear sir, very often, when you are mak
ing yourself ridiculous for tlnfspecial
benefit of a lady, she is silently gauging
your comprehension, and touching
bottom all tiie while.
It is lamentable that our fushionuble
soirees, and receptions, in their social
and tin nl.d tone, are thin, flimsy and
frivolous. Bud dressing, bad air and
biul lioutß make them almost damnable.
Wherefore is it that, will all the gifted
and cultivated men and women who
gather here every year, we do not re
new, in our republican capital, with
purer morality uud finer enthusiasm,
tiie bureaux d’esprit of the eighteenth
century ? Those polished and elegant
assemblies which did so much in the
highest sense to mnke Paris the capital
of the world, how they would eoften
away the crudeness and coarseness of
Washington ! lam not talking of set
literary and art gatherings, where peo
ple talk nothing but books and “ high
art,” in phruses which neither them
selves norany body else can understand,
but of those assemblages of the gifted
and the good, where in general inter
course and free exchange of opinion,
the Intellect is aroused, thoughts quick
ened, talent encouraged and genius won
from solitudes; where politics, philo
sophy and poetry, religion and beauty,
may meet and oommlugle.
1 Haw Her but a Moment.
Hhe wore u handsome crinoline on
the day when first we met, and she

pavement with a grandeur fit to kill—l

Summer Fashions.
Ladies’ Bonnets, Dresses, Cloaks and
tibawls.—Styles Tor tbe Seaside-
The milliners have produced more
novelties than usual in the styles of bon
nets this season. There are ten distinct
styles, each of which —from the saucer
of rice Straw or chip, that merely covers
the crown of the head, to the fanchon,
which is most worn—has something to
recommend it. Bonnets are becoming
gradually less, and no one need be sur
prised if, eventually, they are discarded,
and ladies appear in the Btreets without
Should fashion decree this, it is
prot®le large veils would be woijn over
the tastefully arranged hair, as they
now are in Spain ana some other coun
tries of Europe.
It is notoftenthatthe“flcklegoddess”
leads into the realm of the beautiful
without, at the same time Inventing
some fashions that are grotesque or un
becoming. Yet it is a most singular
fact, that whatever the absurdities of
fashion may be, they are, If at fiipt
merely tolerated, finally accepted and
admired. The extremes of Parisian
styles are not usually becoming, but
when these styles are Americanized —or
modified to suit our matter-of-fact peo
ple—they are really quite charming.
It is worthy of mention that American
ladies are making a very great improve
ment in street costumes ; and the rich
and modest colors so much worn insults
this season are a high commendation of
their refined taste.
BONNETS.
Tiie fashionable bonnet appears to
have reached the smallest possible size,
if it is to remain a bonnet, and in truth
is now little more than a tuft of flowers
and puff of gossamer lace. But it is
well calculated to display the quantity,
quality and beauty of the liair—which -
may seem to be of more consequence
than the protection of the he&d from the
suu, wind or dust. White frosted chip,
rice straw and tulle bonnets are most
used for summer wear, and when neatly
trimmed are elegant.
In round hats there is a great variety
of shapes. The sailor or tarpaulin hat
is perhaps the greatest favorite with
very young persons, while tiie Derby,
the Chevalier, the Tripoli, etc., are also
worn by them. The Wutteau, fitting
close to tiie head and somewhatshading
tiie face, is peculiarly adapted to coun
try wear or for the seaside.
SUMMER DRESSES.
Gored dresses are still tiie prevailing
style, even in thin and rich material
which needs stiff lining. Organdies are
not as much worn as formerly ; grenu
diue, muslin and similar goods are pre- !
ferred. There are some new designs by
Madame Deinorest of elegant dresses
for the seaside and watering places.
A beautiful one is'of white alpaca—
and anotlier of white grenadine—trim
med with blue velvet and pearl buckles.
The skirt is cut goring, with a narrow
ruffle or flounce in box-plaits on the bot
tom of the front and aide breadths: a
flounce six or more inches in width be
gins one fourth of a yard from the waist
on tiie seam joining tiie front and side
breadths, and slopes gradually to the
next seam at half a yard from the waist.
Krom this, sloping more- acutely to the
seam of the first back breadth, it falls
over the end of the narrow flounce and
extends around the bottom of the back
breadth. The heading of this wide
flounce is of blue velvet ribbon, with
pearl buckles upon the seams. The
bodice has a poiutin front, with a basque
finish at the back. The ribbon is put
across the front in form of a bertha, with
a buckle and loop of ribbon where it
turns to pass over the shoulder. The
ribbon extends below the waist, and is
fastened by a buckle. Coatsleeves, with
a ruffle set above the hand to form a
cuff, and the trimming at the top of the
sleeve is formed of ribbon, with a loop .
and buckle in the centre.
A very pretty jacket is made in blue
ami trimmed with black velvet. It is
cut square in the neck, and extends a
finger’s depth below the waist. This is
cut open ou tiie back, forming three
lappeis, and under these are fastened
two tabs three-eighths of a yard long,
and trimmed with velvet. There are
coat sleeves, the velvet passing up the
outside seam, and at the hand, set on
to represent a cuff; the skirt trimmed
to match.
An elegunt suit of gray alpaca Is
trimmed with blue velvet and blue but
tons, Tiie bodice is in a short polwt In
front, with quite a deep basque nt the
back ; tiie sleeves trimmed In Imitation
of a pointed cuff, and the gored skirt
lias n row of velvet.around the bottom.
rmi.PREN’H DRESSES
Thu styles for children’s dress are
more becoming tliuu formerly, and are
better adapted for the preservation of
health. High necks und long sleeves,
and the high Polish boot, are preferred
to low necks, short sleeves and thin

CLOAKS AND SHAWLS.
In the styles for summer cloaks there
are many shapes and various modes of
trimming. The burnous cloaks are very
graceful and stylish. They are worn in
biack lace, black or white grenadine,
and in cashmere for carriage wraps.
Burnous made of Algerine doth —a thin
material—ln narrow stripes of black and
gold, and finished with an Arab hood
and elegant tassels, are something
unique.
Shawls are also of grenadine, mostly
in black and white, and of oashmere.
These are richly embroidered.— New

Hoops Among the Indians.
A correspondent of the IndinnapolU
Journal, who is in the Indian country
in Minnesota, writes to that paper as
follows:
While Indians are emphatically a
whooping people, yet hooping as prac
tised by American ladies Is unknown
among them. By the way, I shall close
this long letter with an amusing Inci
dent that happened at one of the fron
tier posts the other day.
A united States officer arrived from
the East, bringing with him bis wife
dressed out a la mode. Her strange,
extensive proportions Boon attracted the
general attention of the Indians, who
happened to be around, who gazed In
wonder at the strange sight. They
seemed at a loss to aocount lor such un
due expansion. At last a meaning
smile lltuptheswarthy faoeof a spright
ly squaw, over whose shoulder a lively
papoose of some nine mouths was peer
ing. she exultlngly exolalmed. ‘ 'Kce
nc-oakurw,” which means “I know the
reason.’’ All eagerly clustered around
her. All that could be gleaned from
her excited exolamatlons was that It
was a natural expansion.
The men vamosed with hurried steps,
muttering low guttural grunts, while
the more sprightly squowH tripped oil'
chuoklng their papooses under theohln.
while very slgnlnoaut twinkles lurked
In the depths of their dark lustrous eyes,
which seemed to say, “ can't fool us."

the Indian country.

’Gin. Scort’in the Spirlt land.
There has already been 1 , we are told, a
reception of the l Old ’Herb' by the Illiis
triousiDead of the Republic. On Sun
day evening, says the New York- Ex
press, a number of Spiritualists, and
others Interested inthe latest news from
Hades, Assembled in Ebbitt Hall, comber
of Broadway and-Thlrty-tbird street, to
hear a “ traueemedinm,” Mi sh’Emma
Jay Buiieue. calf up, tbe spirit of Gen.
Scott from the other world, and describe
his reception after his demise at West
Point, by the disembodied intelligences,
who are supposed to follow the example
of our Common Council in feting great
men tvho arrive among them.
The audience was rather a ‘motley’ one.
Women with weird-like ’ fades,' gipsy
hats and curls, formed the principal
part of the gathering. There were,
however, some of the sterner sex with
patriarchal beards, and the peculiar
caste of the more “outlandish” New
Englanders in the hall—and all listened
with attention to the wonderful revela-
tions of the medium.
Miss Buiieue commenced by de
scribing thedeathof General Scott. She
declared that in aboutten hours of “this
world’s time” * *■ “ before General
Scott's decease a circle of spirits was
formed, by direction of the Head Center
of the spirit land, to assist the old hero
in dying. This circle was composed of
seven persons, live of whom Weremem
bers of the General's femily, and con
sisted of two middle-aged ladies, one
young lady, one middle-aged gentle
man and a lad. The other two spirits
in the circle were Washington and Lin
coln. These circles were always formed
over dying persons, she explained, in
order to facilitate their death and to in
struct the spirits themselves. In the
case of General Scott it required about
four hours of‘your time’ to perfect the
communications, and then the General
felt better than he had for fifteen years
of'your time’ before. Aboutsix hours
of‘your time’ prior to the General’s
death the spirits began to manufacture
for bim a spiritual body by drawing the
spiritual essence from his attendants,
filtering It ‘ through a sheen or vail.
This process being completed, the Gen
eral had a delightful dream, in which
he revived the memories of the past
and saw tiie glories of the future. His
sou then severed the few electric cords
that bound tiie General's spirit to his
body, and the General died. It pains
us to record such details as these—but
what else can a faithful reporter do?”
After the General’s death he was un
conscious for about three minutes “of
your time” continued Missßullene, and
then he awoke lofludhlmselfsurround
ed by ills family and distinguished
friends. His mortal body lay on earth
before him, and he was attired in a
spiritual body "at least twenty years
younger,” and felt proportionately re
juvenated. He passed an hour, “your
time,” in enjoying the exhiliratiou of
his new life in conversing with the de
ceased members of his family and in
receiving the congratulations of his in
numerable admirers among the spirits.
The mourning which shrouded this
country at his loss was contrasted by
the joy which greeted his entrance into
the spirit laud, as there was every man
ifestation of grief here, so there was
every form of rejoicing in that sphere.
Then tiie General relapsed into uncon
sciousness, which continued until the
next day, "your time,” during which
the preparations were made for his
grand official reception by the spiritual
authorities. When he “reawakened
again,” as Miss Bullene expressed it,
everything was ready, and he was ar
rayed in his spiritual costume, which
the lecturess very carefully described,
explaining everything about it as mi
nutely as if she had manufactured it her
self, wbicli site undoubtedly had "out
of the whole cloth” of her own imagin
ation.
Gen. Scott, on the occasion of his re
ception, was arrayed in a suit of pearly
white or silvery gray, indicative of the
fact that although a very good man he
had his failings which prevented his
dress from being perfectly pure. On his
bosom there were two or three purple
spots, emblematical of duties which he
had left unperformed. On his left shoul
der were three glittering stars, the in
signia of his rank. Across ills chest was
asußh and around his walsta belt. Over
his heart was an eye, “glowing, flash
ing, and gleaming, with Joy unspeaka
ble.” On his left side was a scabbard
of purest gold. In his right hand ho
hold u two-edged sword of tiie purest
steel, its hilt adorned with diamonds,
pearls, emeralds, und topaz, "the em
blems of the four nations whose future
now appears to be prophetic”—what
ever that may mean. This sword said
Mlbb Bullene, significantly, was point
ed towards the crown of England, a
fact which you may interpret as you
will.
She then stated that General Scott was
received by all tiie spirits en masse. At
his right stqod Washington. Behind
him was Wellington, the Iron Duke.
At his left appeared the late Czar of
Russia. Before him, with folded arms,
Napoleon was stationed as the represen
tative of France. Jefferson, Madison,
Taylor, Lincoln, and the otherdeoeased
Presidents of this Republic.whose names
Miss Bullene had clearly forgotten,
acted as the reception committee. All
the heroes of the recent war were on
duty, with many thousands of other
peeple whom Mrs. Bullene would not
name. The reception ceremony was ex
ceedingly modest. A little child whom
the General had dearly loved was
deputed to present him with a crown of
laurel, and as It was placed upon the
hero's bead there were acclamations
from- the vast throng. With these few
particulars Miss Bullene concluded her
lecture, after impressing upon ourminds
the duty of “discipllnurianshlp,” which
she stated to bo General Scott's chief
characteristic.
The audience seemed highly pleased
with the revelations they had hoard,
and they left the hall gratified with
having enjoyed an hour's communion
with the spirit of General Scott.

The Egyptians shaveil their heads
and chins, and looked with abhorrence
on the rough haired and long-bearded
Asiatic nations, • They only allowed
their hair and beard to grow when In
mourning, and looked upon It In any
other ciroumst&nccs os a sign of low
and slovenly habits. Most of them
wore over their Bhaven polls wlgß made
of curled hair, with a series of plaits at
the back. Poor people, who could not
afford the expense of real hair, had
thelr’s made or black sheep’s wool. By
a singular contradiction, the great peo
ple wore artificial beards which they
likewise affixed to the Images of their
godß. Tbs beard of an individual
of rank was short and Bquare; that
of a king equally square, but much
longer, ana that of a god was
pointed and tufned up at the end.—
Ladles wore their hair long, and worked
into a multitude of small plaits, part of
which hung down tholr bapk, and the

A Royal Bigamist—Some Sketches of
‘ George IV.
George, Prince of Wales, afterward
King George IV, in 1785, at twenty
three, saw, find aeeirig loved, Mrs. Maria
Fitzherbert, a charming widow, six
years his : senior. In December of the
Bame year he secretly married her. The
union was invalid, in consequence of
the marriage actof 1772, w’hich prohibi
ted the formation of any matrimonial
alliance by a member of the royal family
without the reigning monarch’s con
sent. Yet no human statute could
morally nullify a marriage to which
there were ho other obstacles. Mrs.
Fitzherbert was a lady of excellent
family, high moral principle and great
refinement. She repelled the Prince’s
attentions until the proposed sentiments
of his heart were accompanied by an
offer .of hia hand. In entering upon
this connection George ran a risk far
greater than the danger of angering
his father. He hud—as all the elder
sous of the House of Brunswick
had done before him —quarreled with
the Sovereign, and was keeping up a
separate establishment He could hard
ly do any thing to widen the breaoh in
this,quarter. But there was an ugly
statute, which declared that the mar
riage of tiie beir to the throne with a
Roman Catholic would operate as a for
feiture of his right to the succession.
Mrs, Fitzherbert was a Catholic ; hence
the necessity of keeping the real condi
tion of affairs from tiie public. It is true
that the lawyers might declare that the
wedding knot was improperly tied, but
popular opinion might differ from that
of the gentlemen of the long robe, on
this, as ou many other matters.
Time passed on, the Ptince of Wales
was pursuing a career of boundless ex
travagance, and debts began to rise
mountain high around him. There is
a limit eveu to princely credit, and bills
were pouring in witli far more rapidity
than was agreeable. TheKlng was ap
pealed toforrelief. This he could afford
only by asking Parliament for an ap
propriation, and he refused to do so un
less the Prince would promise to marry
and lead a reputable domestic life. The
alternative was a hard one, but selfish
ness conquered principle, and the con
dition was complied with.
Parliament had something to say on
the subject of the Prince's relations, as
well as his father. His debts were
enormous, and prudent legislators grum
bled. It was a good thing for tiie heir
apparent to marry if he had not already
one wife, and there were ugly rumors
that such was his situation. It was
not wholly certain, however, that such
was tiie case, anil so some bold repre
sentative of the people raised the direct
question in the House of Commons.
The scene was uu exciting one, and all
awaitedits answer with intenseinterest.
We have said that tiie truth was nof
entirely certain, but it was pretty gen
erally suspected. The Hon. Charles
James Fox, the Prince’s chosen friend,
was nevertheless ready for the emer
gency. He arose in liis seat and flatly
contradicted the rumor that his Royal
Highness had a wife. This was suffici
ent for the loyal Commons; the appro
priation was made and the debts puld.
The Prince was again solvent, but ills
troubles were just beginning. Tiie bride
selected for him was his cou.-ii., v'aro
line of Brunswick, a giddy, awkward
ami indiscreet, though well-intentioned
German girl. Her carelessness in dress,
free and boisterous manners, and in
short her whole character totally unfit
ted her for harmonizing with the jaded
and fastidious libertine who wns to be
come her husband.
Baron, afterward Earl Malmesbury,
a paragon of stiff ness and etiquette, was
sent over to Brunswick to escort the be
trothed Princess to England, the mar
riage ceremony not taking place until
after her arrival. The envoy, judging
from the accounts in his journals, ap
pears to have done his best to give
Caroline good counsel, but ills advice
was as primly offered as it could have
been by any maiden lady of fifty. He
even suggested to her that she should
wear cleaner skirts ! His lectures were
of very little benefit to their mercurial
subject. On reaching Windsor tiie
“happy bridegroom” was found labor
ing under the effects of too copious
libations, und, after, kissing ills intend
ed, according to court fashion, with an
expression of disgust, ut once called
for a glass of brandy. There ure
not wanting stories that later in the
evening, when the nuptlul ceremonies
had taken pluce, he was brutully Intox
icated. However tills mny have been,
tiie 111 omen that accompanied tiie first
meeting of the partleß speedily devel
oped into misery. It Is said that one of
the title demireps, by whom tiie Prince
was surrounded, successfully plotted to
Increase dislike for his wife. It is cer
tain that the birth of tiie Princess Char
lotte, their only child, in a little less
than a year after the wedding, was soon
followed by separation. George now
returned to Mre. Fitzherbert, who was
advised by the Pope to live with him
agaiD. This counsel was just, if we re
gard their union legitimate, and there
was nothing but a tyrannical edict to
declare It otherwise. The increasing
excesses of thePrmee, however, brought
their intercourse to an end before long.
A number of favorites divided tiie at
tention of the royal voluntary.
Of his later years, we need not say
much. They were far from huppy.
Plunging into all.klnds of irregularities,
his health became Impaired, and his
temper soured. On assuming the duties
of Regent, which devolved ou him in
consequence of his father's Insanity, he
deserted his Whig friends and Joined
the Tories, losing the regard of tiie
former, and failing to gain the respect
of the latter. Oueen Caroline traveled
on tiie continent and injured her reputa
tion by Imprudence-—we hope by
nothing worse. His daughter, and only
heir, married, but In u few short months
was hurried to the tomb. His father at
last died, but ere the coronutlon robes
were ready for the new monarch, the
hated Caroline returned to England, and
demanded a share in the honors of the
throne.
lu vain was she offered a splendid
annuity if she would keep out of the
country. The Indignant King, all
leprouß with iniquity ob he was, pro
cured her trial before the House of
Lords as an adulteress. Whatever her
faults may have been, the vlleness of
her prosecutor was too notorious. In
dignant public sontimentbrought about
an abandonment of the proceedings.
Shortly after, the coronation of George
took place at Westminster Abbey.
Caroline sought admittance, but was
spurned from the doors. She returned
home broken-hearted, and soon after
died. Niue years later, in 1830, the
cause of her misery also breathed his
last. Called by his flatterers the “First
Gentleman in Europe,” he probably
died without leaving a friend behind.
His true wife, Sirs. Fltzherbert, who
had spent her closing decade at her
quiet residence In Brighton, survived
him seven years. She was beloved and
respected by all. and i 't least by her
husband's relations. Hhe will always
be regarded as the true wife of George
IV., a despotic regulation to the con
trary notwithstanding. Had the wild,
but not thoroughly demoralized Prince
of Wales possessed the manliness to
tell Parliament the truth. Instead of
meanly concealing an honorable con
nection, his future course might have
been widely dlfi'erent from what It
proved.
Antiquity.
A lawyer and a dootor were once die
cussing the antiquity of tlielr respective
professions, and each oltod authority to

green bag.

A Boyal Wedding.
Marriage of the Princess Mars' of Cam
bridge.
(From the London Times, June 13. j
Yesterday morning the Princess Mary,
one ot the most amiable and popular prin
cesses of the royal family, was married at
the village church at Ivew to his serene
highness Francis Lewis Paul Alexander
Prince von Tech, a prince among tho no
bility of Hungary, and lately an officer in
the Austrian service. The ceremony was
unattended by any kind of Stato pageantry
or pomp. Except, indeed, for the prescueo
of the illustrious visitors who grncidit, it
differed in no respect from the ordinary
routine Of what are termed “ marriages in
high life.” In the church not the slightest
attempt was madeatsplendorof decoration.
The seats, it is true, were re-arranged ho as
to admit of the bridal party passing freely
up the little nave; tho pavement was cov
ered with scarlet cloth, and some rich
couches for the accommodation of the
members of the Royal family and the most
distinguished guests were sent from St.
James’s Palace; but this was all. In fact,
the little attempts mudo at display was
quite in keeping with the quiot, unostenta
tious life which the Princess Mary and her
august mother have led ut Cambridge Cot
tage, Kew. It was the wish of tho Princess
that she should be married, as she had been
confirmed, in the little parish church,
which she has attended so long, and where
among all the poorer members of its con
gregation she is idolized for her acts of
charityjand her generous feeling. As 'she
desired she was married, as she expressed
it herself, “among her own people,”
and her marriage feast was cele
brated in the quiet old-fashioned little red
brick villa in which she has lived so long.
A very pretty covered way of gaily decor
ated awning, open at the sides, let! from
Cambridge cottage-to the little ivy-covered
porch of St. Anne’s. Both sides ot this were
reserved for*fhe parishoners of Kew, while
a large raised platform was erected on the
right for those who had special admission
to view the little procession. The manage
ment of all the arrangements wiLhin the
church was Intrusted to Colonel Horne-
Purves. C. 8., and everything was most
admirably arranged. There was no crowd
ing, and .the benches were well disposed, so
that all could their Reats easily, ami see per
fectly everything that was passing. No
guests were admitted till 10 o’clock, but iu
u very few minutos after that hour the lit
tle miveandaißles woretolorably well filled,
and, as is always the case on these occa
sions, almost entirely by ladies. Indeed,
the first gentleman visitor of distinction
Lord Derby—did not arrive till after 11
o’clock. Almost at the same time Mr. and
Mrs. Gladstone entered, and then tho tide
of eminent personages begun to How in fust.
The Duchess d’Aumnle, most exquisitely
dressed in mauve silk and lace, was con
ducted to one of tho aunts for royal visitors at
tho right of the altar. Tho Duchess of
Sutherland, the Duchess of Marlborough,
the Prince Edward of Huxe-Weimor, Lndy
Sefton, Lady Hardwieke, Lord ltedesdale,
and the Hon. Miss Milford arrived in rapid
succession. Then there was thousunl short
lull during which nobody came, and again
a sudden tnllux, which added Lord Gran
ville. Lord Clurendon, Lord Sydney, Lord
Bessborough, Lord Russell, the Duke
D’Aumale, Lord De-la-Warr, tho Marquis
ofAbereorn, Lord William I’auleL, Lord
Hear}' Lennox, Sir Hugh Rose, Sir Alex
ander Bannermun, Lord Sponcer, and Miss
Burdett Coutts, to tho now brilliant assem
blage. All, both Indies and gentlemen,
were, of course, in morning dress, the pre
vailing colors worn by tho former being so
white and blue (the colors of tho
bridesmaids) that there was almost a mo
notony of tint along the other side of the
nave. Many of the peers wore their stars
and ribands, while several wero in plain
walking dress, without decoration of any
kind. The Count and Countess Gleicben,
with Prince Edward of Saxo-Weimor, wero
among the last to arrive and take their plu
ces just below the royal seats on the right
of the altar. Shortly before 12 o’clock the
Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied
by tho Bishop of Winchester, its bishop of
diocess, and followed by the Rev. B. Bvum,
the vicar of Kew, and the Rev. P. W. N’ott,
the curate, entered the church and took
their places Inside the little altar rails. Al
most immediately afterwards the confused
noise of cheering from without announced
thut the Queen hud arrived. All rose to
receive her, and bowed deeply, as, leaning
on the arm of the Duke of Cambridge, she
passed slowly up tho church und took her
seat In the highest chair of state, close on
the right of the Altar. Her mujesty looked
remarkably well, but was attired in the
very deepest morning—mourning so deep,
Indeed, that not oven u speck of while re
lieved Its sombreness. With her Majesty
came their Royal Highnesses, Prince Ar
thur, Princess Holenu,nnd Princess Louise.
Both tho PrlncoHses wero dressed iu blue
silk, trimmed with while, und wore tho
smallest of small white bonnets with long
gauze veils. Tho Queen was uttundod by
tho Duchess of Wellington (Mistress of the
Robes), tho Dowager Duchess of Athole, us
Lady in Waiting, who woro ulso In deep
mourning, General Mir Thomas Blddulph,
with Lord Charles Fitzroy und the Hon.
Colonel do Ros, Equerries In Waiting. Un
til her Majesty hud taken hor seat all re-
ruulnod standing, tmtl us tho visiun-H
resumed their places tho Prlnco and Prin
cess of Wales, with tho Dukoof Edinburgh,
the Crown Prlnco of Denmark, the Grand
Duke and Duchess of MecklotiburKh-yiru
litz, tho Dowager Duchess, and tho Countess
of Macclesfield, In waiting on tho Princess
of Wales, General KnollvH, and Count Duri
neskjold came up the nave. The Prince of
Wales wore no orders or decoration of any
klud, nnd tho Princess, like tho majority of
other ladies present, was dressed in blue
silk, trimmed with white. They took their
seats on the left of the altar, facing her
Majesty, making deep reverence to her as
they did so, which the Queen in tho case of
the Prince and Princess of Wules us deeply
returned. Next came his serene highness
the Prince of Teck, accompanied by tho
Austrian Ambassador. Tho bridegroom,
walking slowly up tho church, passed to
where her Majesty was seated, bowed lowly
before her, and took her hand and kissed it.
The position of the bridegroom on these
occasions, standing almost alone in front of
the altar rails, with all eyes directed to
wurd him, is rather trying, and one in
which few men appear to advantage. To
this general rule, howover, Prince Teck
was certainly nn exception yesterday, for a
more gallant, fine-looking young man is
seldom seen.
At 12 o’clock tho brido came In, leaning
on. tho arm of the Duke of Cnmbrldgo, and
followed by her bridal sulto. The princess
walked with all thostatoly grace which may
bo ulmost said to be peculiar to herself, and
her fine, kindly, gonial luce shone with
smiles as she acknowledged tho deop rov( r
ences of her porsonal friends on both sides
of tho nava. Who was dressed ontlroly in
white' satin, trimmed with lace, which wus
looped up with boquets of orange flowers
and myrtle. Tho body of tho dress was
high and square, and the luce vail, depend
ing from a wreath of orungu blossoms, ui
most formod a train hohind her. Tho four
bridesmaids in attendance woro Lady
Georgiunu tiusan Hamilton, fifth daughter
of the Murquis of Aborcorn. K. <i.; body

daughter of tho Duke of *Marl borough ;
Lady Cecilia Maria Chnrlotto Molvneux,

Agnotu Harriet Yorko,-youngest daughter
of Lord Hardwicko. Colonel Clifton and
Lady Arabella Bumierinun closed tho pro
cession.
Tho bridesmaids’ dresses woro of white
tarlatan over blue silk. Thoy wore trim
med with sushos of corn flowers, and from
the very small bonnets which they wore
hung veils of tulle almost as long ns that of
the nride horaolf. As soon as tho royal
parties had taken up their positions at the
ultar, tho beautiful hymn, No. 2KI, by
Dr. Gnuntlott, was Bung by tho choir,
and at its conclusion the iriarrJugo
coromonv was begun by tho , Arch
bishop of Canterbury. Of this portion of
the day’s proceedings it is not no essary to
say anything, except that tho bridegroom’s
responses woro utterod in a very low voleo,
unci In a strong foreign accent. Tho bride,
however, though In u very gentlo tone spoke

A Short Sermon
“There’s nine men staudin at the dore,
and they all said they’d take shugar in
ther’n.”
Sich, friends and brethering, was
the talk, in a wurdly sens, woust
common in this our alnslmut land;
but the dais is gouo by, and tho sans
run dry, and no man euu say to his
nabur, hoo art thou, man, and will
you take enuy more shugar In kaugli
l'ey 7
lJut tho wurds of our tex has a dlf
frunt and a more pertickeleerer meou
ing than this. Thar they stood at tho
dore on a cold winter’s morning, two
llaptiss and two Methodiss and livo
Lutharains, and the tother one was a
publikin. And they all with one vols
wed they wouldu’t dirty their feet in a
dram shop, but if the publikin would
go and git the drinks they’d pay for em.
And they all cried out and every man
sed, “ I'll take mine with shugar—for
it won’t feel good to drink tho stuff*
without sweetenin.” So tho publican
he marched in and the barkeeper said,
“What want ye?” and he answered
andsed: “A drink.” “How will ya
have it?” “ Plane and strate,” says he,
“ for it ain’t no use wastin shugar to
cireouilative akafortis.” But there’s
nine more at the dore, and they all sed
they’d tuke shugar iu tkere’n.
Friends and brethering It ain’t only
the likker of spirits that is drunk in this
rounderbout and underhanded way but
its the likker of all sorts of human
wickednis in like manner. Thers tho
likker of mallis, that a menny of you
drinks to the dregs, but yure sure to
sweeten it with the shugar of self-justi
fication. Tliars the likker of avarlsa
that sum keeps behind tho eonton for
constant use, but they always has It
well inixt with the sweeten uv prudens
and eknnimy. Thars the likker of self
luv sum ineu drinks by the gallon, but
they always put In It lots uv tho shugar
of take hour No. 1. And lastly, thars
the likker of extorshun, which the
tnun Hwectlu* according to olrkum
stunces. If lie's in the Hour lino, he’ll
say the pore’ll be bettor off’ outing kora
bread ; if lie’s In the cloth line, wy Its
a good tiling to larn ’em to make their
cloth ut homo; if he’s in tho leather
line, It’ll luru ’em the necessity of tukln
better keer uv shoes. And thoro’s nine
men at the dore, and they all sod they’d
take shugar in ther’n.
But friends and bretherlng, thar'e a
time cornin and a place nxln, whar
thur’ll be no “standln at the dore” to
cull for “shugar iu ther’n.” But they’ll
have to go rite in and take the drink
square up to the front; and the barkeep
er’ll be old Hdtun and no body else:
and he’ll gine 'em shugar In there’n,”
you better believe it, and it’ll beßhugar
uv led, and red hot led at that, os sure
os your nam’s coustltushun dodger.
And you’ll be entitled to your rashuns
three times a day,, If more frequentlle,
and if you don’t like it you’ll have to
lump it, and so may the old Nick close
down upon allypursllkpalaverln around
the plane ole poole of brotherly luv and
ginirosity, ana feller-feelin and fare play!
Amen.
Spare Moments.
A lean, awkward boy came ono morn
lng to the door of the principal of a
celebrated school and asked to see him.
The servant eyed his shabby clothes,
and taking him for a beggar sent him
round to the kitchen. Tho boy did aa
he was told, and soon appeared at the
back door.
“ I should like to see Dr. said
he, “ You want a breakfast, more like,”
Halil the servant, “ and I can give you
that without troubling him.” “Thank
you,” said tho boy, “ I’vo no objection
to a hit of bread, but I should like to
see Dr. , If he cun see me.” “Some
old clothes, may be, you want,” said
the servant, again, eyeing the boy’B
patched trousers. “I expect he has
none to spare ; ho gives them all away;’*
and without minding the boy’s request
she went about her work.
*' Cun I see Dr. ?” asked the boy
again after eating his bread and butter.
“ Well, he’s In the library If he must
be spoken to; but he does like some
time to himself,” sold the girl in a pee
vish tone. She seemed to think it very
foolish to admit such an ill-looking fol
low lutothedootor’spresonce; however
she wiped her hands and told him to
follow her. Oponlug the library door,
she said, “ Hero Is somobody, sir, who
Is very anxious to see you, and so I let
him In.”
I do not know how tho boy introduced
himself, or how he opened his business;
but I know that after awhile the princi
pal put by the book he waßreudlng,
took up some Greek books, und began
to examine tbo new comer. Tho ex
amination lasted for some time. Every
question which tho doctor asked waa
readily answered.
“Upon my word,” said the principal,
“you certainly do well,” looking at the
boy from head to foot, over hla specta
cles. “Why, my boy, whero Uldyou
plck'up so much ?”
“In my sparo momenta,' 1 nnswored
the boy. Here won a poor, hard-work
ing boy, with few chances for schooling,
yot nearly fitted for oollogo by simply,
improving his sparo moments. Truly,
are not spare moments tho “gold-duft,
oftlrne?"
