My Newspaper.
Who can estimate the valueof a news
paper'? No oue, until he has lost it—
until the pleasant periodical visits, like
the face of a dear friend, bringing such
a fund of wit, news and general intel
ligence that it is always greeted with a
hearty welcome, are withdrawn. It is,
in one sense, the light of the world—
without which, the mental universe
would be as much in darkness as the
terrestrial world without the sun.
There are books, it is true, good, wise,
instructive and entertaining; but they
do not tell us of what we want to know
of passing events, or direct us to the
best places of business. Neither do they
inform us who of our friends are passing
away or getting married, or who has
sailed for the Eastern Continent; or who
has returned from a tour thither, etc.
I did not think of this until I had
formed the foolish resolve not to take
my paper another year. The pressure
of the times was severe, business dull,
my family expensive, and it really
seemed necessary to retrench some
where, to make both ends meet at the
end of the year. So I thought as I sat
alone one evening, in dressing gown
mid slippers, with my feet upon the
fender. I had my last paper in my
hand, which I perused with a greater
degree of interest than ever before; it
may be because I resolved to part with
it,.
"I tell you," said I to my wife, " it
won't do, we must curtail our expenses ;
and I will begin by withdrawing my
advertisement from the newspaper and
order it discontinued. Taxes will soon
he due, which must be paid; wood is
enormously high, but we can't do with
out it—nor groceries and provisions, mir
light or clo tiling, or many other inol•
dental expensen. We have plenty of
books anti magazines, old, to be sure,
still Limy are readable; and we must do
Without the paper for the year tocome."
" it's only one dollar and seventy•live
eeni, a year," said my wife, quietly.
" I it now it," i replied t " but every
dollar counts now-a•days."
" But do you not believe It will have
a tendency to render business still more
dull not to advertise?" she asked.
" Nonsense! A place so well estab
lished needs not so questionable a lever
to help It on. Ido not suppose that it
will make tiny 'di Ilizrence, while the cost
()I' a, I ve Mishit; amounts to considerable,"
.1 replied, impatiently.
" But what will you do for the news,"
she ventured again.
" 011, I 01111 get enough of that by In
tercourse with others, and occasionally
buy or borrow a copy."
"John Smyth" said my wife,. now
fully a I roused, " ant ashamed of you.
What! Lull poor to Lake a paper your
self, and yet willing to filch inlorma-
Lion LIMN others whose money Is paid
for wilal they learn, mutat the same
time defraud the honest publisher who
is constantly laboring with head and
hand for other's good. Talk about re
trenchment—you had better stop your
bills It i the saloons for ale and cigars—
needless expenditures for yourself alone,
while the newspaper is a perpetual In
tellocinal least, for the whole family,
yourself not excepted, and it costs but
the merest Grille iu comparison to the.
Money you spend every week for
tobacco and drink. You have not
spoken of t h e increased prices of these
articles. Stop the paper! indeed!''
And my wile jerkel her chair around
with not a very graceful movement, and
sat with her back toward me in utter
coutempt s of zny "penny wiseaud pound
foolish re ol talon."
Now 1 nuke it a point never to yield
._._.
to my wi e or any of my family, if I can
help it, as in case I should, I would be
come a secondary consideration In my
own family—a position 1 by no means
intend to occupy ; 501 said nothing, but
sat, and puffed my fragrant Havana,
watching the graceful folds of smoke as
it wound itself ill little wreaths about
my head. I resolved that come what
would, I would not yield indulgence In
the delicious weed for the sake of a
newspaper.
'rie next day I called on my pub
nettled my accounts, and ordered
my paper discontinued.
"On what ground?" he asked, In
some surprise.
"Nothing," I said, " I can't afford
it,'• and I walked away, leaving him to
his awn reflections.
'nine passed on ; the day on which it
was due I could not feel quite contented
at the non-appearaucc of my newspaper.
I missed the bright, cheerful face of the
little carrier and the interesting news
lie was wont to bring on return of each
week, through fair weather and foul.—
There were other papers about, for I
bought one occasionally, but these were
published in large cities, and contained
no local news of my own home.
AL night, when I reached home, my
eldest daughter, Mary, met me in the
hall.
" Where Is the paper, papa!" said
she " Oh, lam in such a hurry to see
It. Mottle Trueworth's marriage is in
it, and the editor has published such au
appropriate verse in connection, I am
told."
But I put her aside, saying, "The
paper will not come any more, I have
ordeivd It discontinued."
" lather!" elle exclaimed, "how
can we do without, It ?"
" We nnimi learn to do without It," I
replied, as I passed on to the 8 upper
room.
After supper, Instead of reading to my
sometimes leading their minds'
away oil' to other scenes and distant
regions, beautiful countries that others
have explored at great expense and
some risk of life; sometimes to the
fierce ileitis of blood and carnage pic
tured sic vividly that they seemed In
deed, before us, while we were safe and
comfortable in our little home; or sing
iog over the stray waifs of real poetry
which (men bind their way into the
newspaprs, touching a tender chord In
every nearb—as I. was wont to do—i
suet , limo myself upon the sofa and tried
to sleep.
" Tommy," whispered Mary, " run
over to Mr. Wild's and see if you can
not borrow his paper."
But Tommy soon returned with the
answer that i‘f r. Wild was reading it
himself.
"Then go to Mr. Brown's, and If you
can't get his, go to Mr, Gates."
But Tommy was not more successful
at any of these places. Mr. Brown had
taken his paper down town, and Mr.
Gates didn't like to lend his; thought
his father took it. A disappointed sigh
was Mary's only answer.
" The particulars of that murder affair
are in • the paper this week," said my
wife, with asllght frown upon her brow,
"and I would really like to see It."
"And Minnie Milford's new story
was to come out in this week's paper. I
really wish I could borrow it some
where," said Mary.
Here, Tommy," said I, taking five
cents from my pocket, "run down to
the news office and buy a copy if It's not
too late, and the publishing office is
shut up."
Tommy soon returned out of breath.
" I've run enough after that old news
paper," with just a touch of his father's
spunk, " and I won't do it again. The
publishing office was closed, and the
news office bud not a number left. I
would like to fl nd out though when that
celebration is coming off Nobody
knows for sure but the paper. Is It in
that, father he added. The minds
of all, as well as myself, were on the
missing paper, but I was thoroughly
out of patience with myself, and with
them. " I tell you I don't know any
thing about lt," I replied, in not a very
amiable tone, I fear. "Seems to me
you are all very much interested in the
confounded paper since you know it is
stopped. I don't want to hear another
word about it." This put a quietus on
the subject—at least for a time.
However, as time passed on, I began
to think I had made very little progress
in bettering my condition, and that
" gathering information of current
events by intercourse with others" was
a very unreliable source. Every one
gave coloring peculiarly his own, and
every one neede to read for himself to
A. J. STEINILAN
VOLUME 68
have a correct idea of what is going on
around him.
Besides this, my business from dull
became duller, and eventually dullest ;
while my neighbor across the way, with
no better qualifications or faculties then
myself seemed to be doing a thriving
business. Could it be because he adver
tised in the local paper—that which no
body took the trouble to read! Doubtful.
One day I met an old friend and cus
tomer whom I' had often wondered
what had becarrie of him, as well as
some others of his neighbors, who were
once good paying customers of mine.
" How are you ?" said he, giving me
his hand. " How do you prosper? Go
ing down hill, eh ?"
" I hope not," I replied, with a faint
smile.
" Well, I see you have stopped adver
tising and I supposed you had closed
out or smashed up ; and, as I am usual.
ly In a hurry when I come to town, I
go where they advertise to do work well
and promptly. This is why I have not
seen you lately. Good bye, sir. If you
are still in the business, let us see your
card, and know what you are doing."
I began to think better of advertising
than I did before, and on my way home
I gave the publisher of the paper a call.
I began to think, my friend," said 1,
"I began in the wrong direction to cur
tail expenses, and I was indeed, penny
wise and pound foolish,' when I with
drew my patronage. Our interests are
more intimately connected than I could
have believed, until I made the experi
meet."
Thereupon I was again enrolled on his
list of subscribers and a half column de
voted to my business. And I freely
confess I have no reason to regret the
expenditure. My old customers and
many new ones began to revive, and ere
long I felt warranted in the expediency
of securing an assistant.
My family was gratified at the appear
ance of their old friend, the newspaper,
and lain resolved that sooner than part
with it, I will give up " ale and cigars,"
which for me would be quite a sacrifice.
I prize more highly than ever my news
paper.
A Chief Cast• oI the Weight of YrAre
and (looN to Bottle— ahe Beautiful
CPriptive—J el toy 1111(1 Bloody ay vouilel
At the cascades of tin:Columbia river
in Oregon, amid wild and romantic
scenery, where nature seems to have
expended herself In the production of
the sublimity of grandeur, there once
dwelt, according to tradition, a valiant
Indian warrior named Cos-te•oda.—
Wherever the war-whoop rung the loud
est, wherever the arrows flew the thick•
est, there the war plumes of Cos-te-o-la
might have been seen waving In the
van. By his prowess in the field, and
his wisdom In the council he had at
tained the rank of chief of his tribe,—
But old age had overtaken Cos-le •o-la,
and for many years he had lived a re
tired life in the bosom of his !amity,
which consisted of a wife and seven
children. One day, however, news was
brought to the wigwam that a powerful
and warlike tribe was marching down
into the domain in hostile array.
A council was called, and when the
startling news was made public the
faces of the boldest warriors assumed a
serious aspect, and all turned with one
accord to Cos-te-o•la and demanded
that he should cast the weight of his
years and once more lead them to the
strife. The lire of youth was rekind
led in the breast of the old man, and
repairing to his wigwam, he arrayed
himself in his war costume, and was
soon advancing at the head of his tribe
against the insolent invaders. Success
crowned his ettbrts, and before a moon
had passed he returned to his village,
laden with spoils and accompanied by a
long train of downcast prisoners. His
old squaw received him at first with
open arms, but when she discovered
that a dusky maiden whom he had
selected from the band of prisoners fol
lowed him to his wigwam, her mind
was seized with jealousy and hatred to
ward the beautiful intruder. But the
fire of youth had - been too strongly
lighted iu the bosom of the old man,
and he would not give up his captive.
The lovely Shal-la-hoo, the Evening
Star, seemed to have completely sup
planted the old squaw and her seven
evidences of bygone love. But poor
Shal-la-hoo led a miserable life, and in
Cos-te-o-la's absence the old squaw
heaped abuse and even blows upon her
innocent young head. Even in the old
chief's presence words often ran high,
for with all her gentle loveliness the
Evening Star was not devoid of spirit.
On one occasion, when the old woman
had been particularly abusive, and the
captive maiden had been correspond
ingly aroused, Cos-to-o-la, maddened
with the discord, rushed out of the wig
watn, and seeking his canoe, pushed
out into the river, and paddled about
for hours, muttering Ills curses to the
winds. Finally, when he thought time
had restored peace to his domestic circle,
he pushed to shore, pulled up his canoe,
and sought his once pleasant home.
As he approached lie observed that no
sounds issued from his wigwam, and,
believing that harmony was fully re
stored, he joyfully stepped forward and
raised the skin that hung over the en
trance. But what a fearful sight met
his astonished gaze as he staggered back
in horror. Around him lay Ills seven
children the skull of each crushed by
the cruet blow of the tomahawk. From
the centre to the roof' of the wigwam
hung a leather rope, from the end of
which dangled the lifeless body of his
once honored spouse her tongue lolling
from her mouth, in her clenched hand
a long and bloody look of hair, which
he recognized only too well, and her
stretched, staring eyes, fixed upon a
dark corner of the wigwam, where soon
his own glance told him lay the beau
tiful cause of all this evil weltering in
her blood.
In the fury ofjealousy, the old woman
had cut the throat of poor Shal-la-hoo
and then scalped her. Then, not sati
ated, she had brained her innocent
children, and finally hung herself with
a leather cord. Cos te-o-la, in an agony
of despair, rushed from the scene,
jumped into his canoe, paddled out to
the head of the cascades, and boldly
hurled himself and his griefs In the
roaring abyss beyond. The tribe de
cently burled the victims of this domes
tic tragedy, but the body of the old chief
was never recovered. But often when
the sun has sunk to rest behind the bold
mountains which encircle the cascades,
the direful events which haye been
narrated were repeated, in their phan
tom shape, in the mists which hovered
over the tumbling waters.
A good joke came oil' quite recently at
a court house. A person living a short
distance out of the village is in the habit
of frequently coming into the town and
drinking to inebriation. At such sea
sons he is apt to call on his Honor,
Judge M—. Recently he made one
of his visits, became decidedly tipsy,
called upon' Judge M—, and desired
the Judge to write him a pledge, as
serting his intention to cease drinking.
Hie Honor wrote the pledge as desired,
and the tipsy individual affixed his
name thereto. He then desired to have
the pledge that he might take it home
and exhibit it to his wife. His Honor
thought he was himself the proper cus
todian of the important agreement, but
yielded to the solicitations of the man,
at the same time assuring him that if he
broke the contract, and appeared before
him again in a state of intoxication, he
would have him locked up. A week
elapsed, and the Judge was confronted
by the same man, as tipsy as aforetimes.
" .How is this'?" " Judge M.," said the
tipsy fellow, "you think I am a fool? I
know what lam about. I'll show you
if I am a fool !" and he drew forth his
wallet from hie pocket, took out his
pledge, unfolded its worn creases, and,
holding it up triumphantly, exclaimed:
" Will you just show me the United
States internal revenue stamp on that
agreement ?" The judge caved.

Bepubllean Offiee•seehers.
!From the New York World.]
The announcement already has been
made in these columns that Mrs. Abra
ham Lincoln, widow of the late Presi
dent. was compelled to dispose of some
of her personal effects in order to eke
out the Blender income which remained
to her after the settlement of her hus
band's estate, and that she was, in fact,
in this city under the assumed was,
of
Mrs. Clarke for the purpose of superin
tending the sale of her property. As
Mrs. Lincoln is no longer anxious to
withhold from the public the facts in
the case, there can be no impropriety
in imparting further information upon
the subject, m obtained from the lady
herself.
THE PROPERTY LEFT BY MR. LINCOLN.
Upon the death of Mr. Lincoln, an
effort was made to appropriate for his
wife and family the sum that he would
have reeelved from the United States
had he lived to finish his second term
of office, to wit: sloo,f. 00 ; but it result
ed in appropriating but $25,000, the
amount of one year's salary as Yresi•
dent. Of this sum, $3,000 were required
to discharge certain standing obliga
tions, leaving about $22,000, which, with
the house and lot in Springfield, 111.,
owned by Mr. Lincoln, previous to his
election to the presidency iu 1860, was
all the property which 101 l to Mrs. Lin
coln. Her present income, she states, is
but $l7OO a year, of which $3OO comes
from the rent of her old house In Spring
field. It appears from this that Mr.
Lincoln not only saved no money while
he occupied the White House, but re
ally lived beyond his income, which, In
connection with the natural reluctance
of his widow to return to the simple
style of living to which she had been
used before her residence in Wasblug•
ton, has compelled her to part with
some of her personal effects at the pres
ent time.
LETTERS FROM MRS. LINCOLN
Appended are several letters written
by Mrs. Lincoln in relation to this most
unpleasant business, the contents of
which will surprise tile public. The

MRS. LINCOLN'S OPINION OF REPUBLI-
A significant feature of the subsequen t
letters and memoranda is the feeling
entertained by Mrs. Lincoln towards
leading Republicans. She complains
bitterly that men who besought her
influence to secure their official posi
tions, and were proftise with promises
if she would gratify their wishes, now
give her the cold shoulder. Certain
persons of that party, such as Thurlow
Weed, Henry J. Raymond, William
H. Seward; and others, she is particu
larly severe against, and claims that It
was through their influence that the
plan proposed by the Tribune to raise a
fund for her by the voluntary subscrip
tion of the people•was thwarted. At this
point the following memorandum, the
original being In Mrs. Lincoln's own
handwriting, Is given
The question was asked Mrs. Lincoln
what her feelings were In regard to the
Republican party, in consideration ()I'
the unkindness and ingratitude dis-
played by them in depriving her of
almost all means of support. The reply
was, "1 could not relinquish my at
tachment for the party to which my
husband belonged, and in whose cause
his precious life was sacrificed, not
withstanding It is composed of such
men as Weed, Raymond, and Seward,
who nominally belong to it, and who
to accomplish their purposes would
drag it down to the lowest depths of
degradation. The late President thor
oughly tested these men, and had be
come fully aware before his death of
their treachery and falseness."
;u 12.5. LINCOLN UNDER AN ASSUMI:O
As the negotiations with Mr. Brady
proceeded, Mrs. Lincoln deemed it best
that her name should not appear, the
reasons for which are given in the fol
lowing extract from a letter written by
her
Extract of a letter from Mrs. Lincoln.'
'Through the ingratitude of the Repub
licans towards the memory of the lamented
President, the family of their chief have
been left to sutler want and destitution.
Therefore it is natural to suppose that
when it became imperatively necessary
for Mrs. Lincoln, the honored and beloved
wife of the late President, to dispose of ap
petrel and Jewelry to enable her to meet the
common daily necessities of life, it was cer
tainly in better taste that Mrs. Clarke,
rather than Mrs. Lincoln, should appear in
the proceeding. Although in her over
whelming sorrow she was by an ungrateful
Republican party deprived of her rightful
maintenance, they should appreciate her
delicacy in desiring her true name and their
own ignominy from being known to the
world,"
SUBSEQUENT LETTERS
The next letter presents more in de
tail the reasons for her action in this sad
matter, and at the same time expresses
her regret that the ingratitude of Re
publicans may be injury to the Repub
lican party:
CHIOAOOSept. 1867.
W. H. BRADY, Esq. : You write me that
reporters are after you concerning my goods
deposited with you—which, in considera
lion of my urgent wants, I assure you I ma
compelled- to relinquish. -and also that there
is a tear that these newsmen will seize upon
the painful circumstances of your having
these articles placed in your hands to injure
the Republican party politically. In the
cause of this party and for universal free
dom my beloved husband's precious
life was sacrificed nor for the world
would I do anything to injure the
cause. My heart is ever anxious
for its success, notwithstanding the very
men for whom my noble husband did so
much- unhesitatingly deprived me o f a ll
means of support, and left me - ln a pitiless
condition. The necessities of life are upon
me urgent and imperative, and I am scarce
ly removed from want—so dilibrent from
the lot my loving and devoted husband
would have assigned me—and I find my
self left to struggle for myself. I am com
pelled to pursue the only course left me—
Immediately within the next week to sell
these goods, and if not wholly disposed of
by Wednesday; October 80, on that day
LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 16 1867.
please sell them at auction, after advertis
ing very largely that they are my goods.
' Very respectfully.
"Mns. A. LINCOLN."
A STILL FURTHER EXPLANATION.
The last letter of which mention w
be made at this time is the following.
I Private. I _
"SEPTEMBER 25.—W. H. Brady, Esq.: I
have reflected upon your remarks, and have
concluded to leave everything to your good
judgment and excellent sense. My great
sorrow and loss have made me painfully
sensitive; but as my feelings and pecuni
ary comfort were never regarded or even
recognized in the midst of my overwhelm
ing bereavement, now that I am pressed in
a most startling manner for means of com
mon subsistence I do not know why I
should shrink from an opportunity of
Improving my tryibg position. Being
assured that all you do will be ap
propriately executed, and in a manner
that will not startle me very great
ly and excite as little comment as possible,
again I shall leave all in your hands. I am
pasaing through a very painful ordeal,
which the country, in remembrance of my
noble and elevated husband, should have
spared me. I remain, with great respect,
very truly, Mss. LiNcoLN.
"P. S.—As you mention that my goods
have been valued at $24,000, I will be will
ing to make a reduction of $B,OOO, and re
linquish them for $lO,OOO In 5-20 s—nothing
less. If this is not accomplished, I will
continue to advertise largely until every
article is sold, I must have means to live,
at least lu a medium comfortable state.
Jeff. Davls-111s Last War Council
In a newspaper called the Southern
Home Journal, Mr. E. A. Pollard de
scribes the last council of war held by
Jeflbrson Davis. This conference was
held in South Carolina, while Davis
was In retreat, and only a few days after
the issue of his proclamation of April
5, in which he urged the South to an
unending conflict. This proclamation
was issued before the surrender of Lee's
army, "an event," says Mr. Pollard,
"which appeared to determine the last
hopes of the Southern people, to con
vince them that further prosecution of
the war was useless, and even criminal
in a fruitless consumption of human
Mr. Pollard adds:
Not en with Mr. Davis. He was re
markable for u sanguine temperament;
he had that disposition at once imperi
ous and weak, which, demanding that
all things must be as it wishes, believes
them so ; and what the world thought
the swollen boasts of a desperate and
failing leader, were really the sincere
illusions of a proud man who never,
indeed, fully realized the extremity of
1118 cause until " the iron entered hie
soul " in the (animates of Fortress Mon
roe, lu his strangely deliberate and
leisurely retreat through the Carolinas,
he had not appeared for a moment to
realize that he was a fugitive, and he
looked with complacency upon the die
ordered fragments of the army that had
gathered on the line of his flight, and
that pursued it with a vague and un
certain design.
Au officer who was constantly in his
company in what might be thought
days of anguish and despair to the
fallen clod, testifies: "Mr. Davis was
apparently untouched by any of the
demoralization which prevailed—he
NV /IS itihible, dignified, and looked the
very personification of high and un
daunted courage." He yet persisted that
the cause was not lost, although Lee
had surrendered, although Johnston
had furled his banner without a battle,
and although all that was visible of the
great armies that had stood from Rich
mond to Augusta, on the dominant
lines of the war, were the less than one
thousand gyidiers, fragments of brigades
that assembled around him at Abbe
ville, South Carolina, when he paused
there for a final council with his Gen
erals.
In the little town of Abbeville, Mr.
Davis summoned his officers to council;
be was determined to try their resolu-
tlon, un d anxious to ascertain the spirit
of their men. The only full Generals
who yet attended him were Bragg, his
"military adviser," and Breckinridge,
lately Secretary of War. There were
five brigade commanders present at the
conference. To this small but import
ant audience Mr. Davis addressed him
self with all the powers of his wonderful
and subtle intellect. The old imperi
ous look was yet in his worn face; the
eye, transfixed with neuralgic pain,
with its deep recess of light shone steady
and defiant; the thin visage was illu
minuted by the active mind, and shone
with the animated discourse. He spoke
in the even, silvery tones of his accus
tomed eloquence.
He declared that the country was only

the commanding and reassure tones of
authority. He insisted that the war
was not hopeless. The armies could be
reassembled, and there would be neW
calls fur enlistments and new incentives
to the country's service. He said that
even the few hundred men he yet coun
ted around him were enough to prolong
the war until the panichadpassedaway,
and they would then be a nucleus for
thousands more. He urged his officers
to accept his views and animate their
nen to stand to the good cause, whose
ionor they had so long tnantalned and
vhone lust hopes they now carried on
heir bayonets,
Ills auditors were silent. At length,
they spoke, one by one, each brigade
commander stating the condition and
temper of his men, and declaring his
view of the situation. It was a plain
unanimous Judgement; the war could
not succeed and should not be prolong
ed ; they could not ask their men to
struggle against a fate which was inevi
table, and forfeit all hopes of restoration
to their homes and friends; but they
would insist that their honor was in
volved iu securing the escape of Mr.
Davis, and for the accomplishment of
this oldeet they would risk battle, and
put ()It suhinission to the last moment.
No, Liu!' exclaimed the unhappy
chief, iu passionate accents. "I will
hear of no plan which has for its object
only my safety." Then speaking slow
ly and bitterly, with a deep and fearful
change settling on his countenance, be
said: "All hope is gone! Alas, that I
should see the day when all the friends
of the South are prepared to consent to
herdeg radation." He faltered and sat
down in silence; every one in the room
respected him too much to reply.
Presently, without even a gesture of
courteouB..retlrement, without any ac
knowledgment of the company what
ever, he rose to leave the room; and it
was observed that he had lost his erect
carriage and defiant port. A weight of
years appeared to have suddenly fallen
on the suffbrer. The eyes were uneasy
in the pale, pinched face ; and so un
certain and tottering was his step that
General Breckinride moved to his side,
and giving his arm, supported him from
the room. Not a single word was
spoken.
The Tobacco Crop
The St. Louis Democrat has compiled the
following statement of the tobacco crop:
lissouri Is reported at from 12,000 to 16,000
hogsheads. This is far beyond an average
crop, but it is said the quality of the tobacco
is unusually good. In Virginia the crop
has fallen of one-third—lt is reported at
70,000,000 pounds—but "is the best ever
made as respects quality." Ia some coun
ties of North Carolina, lands which had
been previously devoted to tobacco were
this year planted with cotton. The yield of
that State is 35,000,000 pounds. The yield
for Maryland is placed at 35,000,000 pounds;
Tennessee at 39,500,000 ; Kentucky at 61,-
000,000 ; Texas at 90,000 ; Alabamat at 270,-
000; Arkansas at 1,700,000; Florida and
Georgia each 000,000; ,Louisiana at 40,000 ;
South Carolina at 35,000, and the Northern
States at 52,100,600.
Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, now in at
tendance on the Pan-Anglican Synod in
England, has been styled "Lord Hopkins.'
The term Lord Bishop, of course, belongs
to the English Bishop, because they are
Peers of Parliament;' but the title is al
ways extended to Colonial Bishops as a
courtesy; that courtesy has been extended
by the press and people to the United States
Bishops, and they are during their stay
Lords as well as American citizens.

erable, hooked-beaked, fierce-looking,
Infirm, tremendous, old lady, who is
wheeled daily into the devil's temple by
gorgeous body-lackeys, at whom she
mouths and snarls like a tormented
sorceress. This aged and sporting
transparency is the widow of an emi

to the Court of the Tuileries. kihe is a
part proprietor of the tables, (at which
she Is treated with the greatest defer
ence, and loses 50,000 francs a year,) is
so integral a section of the institution
round which this town has been built,
that one of its most fashionable streets
has been named after her, and enjoys
the honorable distinction of being one
of the worst tempered women in Europe.
Whenever she loses—a matter of al
most daily occurrence (for she is a
bold and dashing player)—her savage
nature breaks out, and her vexation
takes the form of abusing the croupiers
because they are not good-looking
enough. She: has got beyond martin
gales or system now and plays by in
spiration ; sometimes she wins a great
stake, but on the whole is a personal
and heavy loser. A more grimly ludi
crous spectacle than she presents it is
Impossible to conceive ; she has not the
least control over her features or her
temper, and is a living epitome of the
degrading effects produced upon human
nature by the black and red. They say
she was once very beautiful, but few
men are old enough to remember that
brilliant period of her youth. As she
MEM
crouches over the gaming table, in this
year of grace 1867, she is, in every sense
of the word, the " frightful example."
Then there is Ali Me. J ullette, former
ly of the Faubourg St. Antoine, now of
Baden-Baden, Nice, Osten, Biarritz,

know not where else besides, She is
inimitably lovely, occupies splendid
apartments, and whenever she abides
in a place where play is permitted, al
ways dresses in the true Satanic colors,
as a delicate compliment to the patron
of the game. In short, she is an incur
nation of red and black; black body,
red sleeves, Alit of red and black in ob
long diamonds or lozenges; red satin
hat, black feather; red boots, black
laces ; black gloves, red seams ; red par
asol, black handle ; red lips, black eye
brows audhair. Slaeplays every day and
all day, gallantly, and with varied luck,
though I think she wins rather than
and is calm, smiling, inBoucianee,
whichever way Fortune declares herself.
Once, and only once, I have seen her
lose her self•possessiou when she had
set a heavy sum—all she had about her
—on tile coulcur and lost it ; she left the
table and went out on the terrace ; as
she came to the door opening upon the
steps at the end of tile glass verandah,
where she thought nobody could see
her, she took her rep and black porte
monocle out of her pocket, bit and tore
it to pieces with her teeth and fingers,
and stamped upon the fragments with
the tiny sharp heels of her fairy bot
tines till she fairly panted for breath,—
This exhibition lasted about two min
utes, at the expiration of which time,
having no doubt lu her own mind des•
patched the winners of her money and
thoroughly revenged herself on the
company for her losses, she drew out a
jewelled clui, selected a thin cigarette
from about a dozen contained in the
costly toy, licit composedly, and strolled
down the terrace looking as impassably,
scornfully lovely us ever. Amongst her
willing slaves are one or two very dis
tinguished men—for she is one of our
institutions, if you please, and not the
least important one.
Ranging of the Dog River Negroes
From (he Mobile Evening Is;ews
A large number of people crowded the
jail yard to-day to witness the hangfrig
of Robinson, Richardson and Grant, the
three negroes sentenced to death by
Judge Chamberlain at.the last term of
the City Court. Long before 10 o'clock
a large number of necroes assembled in
front of the jail, and the yard, at the
time of the execution, was so densely
crowded that the police and military
had great difficulty in keeping open the
space about the scaffold. Of course,
many of our readers are familiar with
the facts developed in the trial of these
negroes, but for the benefit of those who
are not, we give the following synopsis:
Mr. Fred. Peters, an industrious and
well known white man, residing about
ten miles from the city, in a fork of Dog
River, was preparing to retire for the
night, when his house was suddenly and
violently entered by four negroes. Mr.
Peters's family, consisting of a wife and
four children, were engaged in evening
prayers at the time. The negroes were
more or less disguised. They demanded
from Mr. Peters his money, and re
ceived from him three dollars and a half,
all that he had in his pocket. Before
giving them this money, Mr. Peters
offered resistance, but was unarmed,
while the negroes were amply supplied
with firearms, and found that he was
unable to contend with the robbers.
After getting this money they insisted
upon his showing them where the re
mainder of his money was concealed,
and he refusing to do this, they seized
igs wife and searched her person in the
most brutal, manner. They found upon
her $1,400 in gold and paper money.
After getting this further supply of
money, they commenced searching the
muse for more. They broke up till of
he furniture, and tore up a number of
be floor planks, but did not succeed In
discovering anything. In the mean
time Mr. Peters became festive, anti
one of the negroes tired several shots at
him. Fortunately none of them took.
effect, and one of the brutes took a
position in frontof, Mr. Peters, and with
a cooked and loaded pistol presented at
his breast, kept him from moving
during the greater part of the
four hours they remained in the
house. He was held passive to look
upon the violation of his wife and his
daughter by three of the four ruffians.
The daughter was only twelve years of
age, and the knife of the ntltroes was
called into requisition. After doing
whatever they pleased in the house,
they finally left, and for several days no
arrest was made, and no clue could be
obtained by the police. Finally, on the
3d of June Ulysses S. Grant was ar
rested ; on the Bth of the same month
Jim Richardson was also arrested, and
shortly afterwards Charles Robinson
was in the guard house. All three of
these negroes were identified by the
Peters family, before the City Court, as
having been members of the gang that
perpetrated the outrage, and they were
convicted by a jury and senteneed to be
hanged on the 30th of August. But as
is well known the Governor to whom
communications bad been forwarded by
several city officials, postponed the day
of hanging for four weeks. Another of
these negroes, Bob Smith, was arrested
by Colonel Dimon in New Orleans, but
through some legal quibble escaped. AM
the hatchet fell and the unfortunatp
men were launched into eternity, ti
piercing scream vas heard from the
crowd, followed by a scene of wild con
fusion. Two or three negro women fell
over in seeming convulsions, and were
borne, kicking and struggling, through
the seething mass to the gate. Beyond
this, no disturbance or display was made
by those present
Agricultural Report for October.
The report of the Department of Agricul
ture for July and August is issued by the
Commissioner. It shows that the increase
of the wheat crop, over last year's, is large,
but not as large as was anticipated. The
increase is greater in Ohio than in any other
State, being 130 per cent. The only notice
able thing in the meteorological tables is,
the surprising difference in the quantity of
rain in the East and the West. Our own
State embraces almost the extremes. The
depth of rain falling in Philadelphia, in
August, was 16.84 inches, while in Canons.
burg it was only 1 inch and 84 hundredths.
East of the mountains, August was a month
of rain, appreciable quantities having fallen
on fifteen days of the month. The average
of August for fifteen years at Philadelphia
has been only 4 inches and 52-hundredths.
The report is rather unfavorable on the score
of fruit, particularly Apples. Hay is a very
large crop. Wool is represented as from
five to ten per cent. less than last year, owing
to the severity of last winter and the con
sequent destruction of large numbers of
sheep.
