After Seventeen I ears—A bouquet utul j
a Note.
From the Ilarri*biirg T. legraph.
The following incident will serve to
recall (tome of the stirring scenes of
the late National misunderstanding.
In 1801, when the Ninth Pennsylvania
three months men marched out of West
Chester on their way to the front they
passed through Carli-le. \Y liile there
the citizens of the town furnished thcin
with a much neerletl breakfast, due ol
tiie officers was the recipient of a hand
some bouquet presented to him by a
lady. A note was attached which lent
a-follows : Accept these flowers with
toy earnest prayer for your safe return,
hut should you lull in the glorious cause '
may you go where flowers never wither
ami the God of peace forever reigneth.'
Since that time the officer has made
numerous endeavors to find who the
lady was, hut until recently he has been
• unsuccessful, but a few day* ago he
tliscovered her name and whereabout*, j
and now proposes after seventeen years ,
to present the lady with nn engrossed
copy of the note and also with the
identical bouquet, which he has pre
served all these long years.
Republican bondholder* and Negro
Hepndiators.
From 11k Norfolk Virginia* fMa )
tin last Tuesday the negroes of Vir
ginia had an op|ortunity of showing
their gratitude to their Republican I
a friends of the North and they showed j
* it hv t<f in</ almost unaniim • 7 tliroughout |
tiie State to repwliati the bonds of the
state of Virginia, held to the extent of
S< II "MA*),oo<> '.y th/ people nf th/ S'orth.
How many of thene lx>nds are iteld by
Jay Gould, the master of the New York
Tribune, we know not, hut we trust lie
has a sufficient share to make him
appreciate the gratitude of his colored
friends. Notr that the poisoned chalice
has been returned to their own lips, we
hope these Republican capitalists will
appreciate the gratitude of the negro,
and a* they count their loaes in the
depreciation of the Virginia bonds, re
member that to theiuelves they owe
t ie repudiation which the white men of
Virginia for their own soke and honor'*
soke would have scorned to perpetrate.
If the whole South repudiate* her debt
it will he done Ay th/ nrgm vol/, ns it ha."
l>een done in Virginia. And when that
is done the Tribune and its owner* will
pcrhnpft realize that "curses, like chickens,
come home to roost"
Tlic Republican papers of the New
York TrJmne pattern are preaching
homilies upon the strength of the re
pudiation element in Virginians shown
in the returns of the Legislative elec
tion. It is put down as a token ola
general dis|>o*itinn of the Southern
Democracy towards dishonesty. Such
talk proceeds either from ignorance of
the real situation in Virginia or i* a
willful perversion of the truth. The
fact is notorious that in the late contest
th Democrats, or Conservative*, a* they
choose to call themselves, planted
themselves boldyon a debt-paying plat
form and refused to sanction the can
didacy of any man who was not pledg
ed to the debt paying policy a* embod
ied in the McG'ulloch bill, while the Re
adjusters were read out of the party
ami fought by the regular Democratic
organization with might and main.
The leading white Republicans, educat
ed men like Judge Rives and Hughes,
to their credit be it said, took the same
position on the great question at issue.
Hut the colored Republicans were, as
usual, deaf to argument, and were
marched in droves to the [.oils hy kitch
en and field hand politicians to do the
work of a demagogue who used the
re-adjustment programme as a means of
' organizing a new party in order that
he might be elected to the United
States Senate and his henchmen giv

fices in the gift of the Legislature.

HKAVS OP A STATESMAN.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Time * report* for tlmt journal a
lengthy interview with Senator Thomas
l\ Haynrd, who has returned to his
home at Wilmington, Deluware, from
his recent visit to Kurope. Tho Sena
tor in replying to interrogatories of
the corrcspomlent said that the late
election in New York turned on local
issues, and he found no fault with the
|ample of that State because they pre
ferred to give attention to their own
domestic affairs rather than to nation
al politics. "1 am a great believer in
local self-government,' said Mr. Hay- j
ard, and continued : "1 think that is
the only condition of the perpetuity of
our I'nion. Ido not believe that this
Union can be successfully governed 1111- j
less the |>coplc of each State arc al
lowed to control their domestic affairs, i
That is the school of tho American i
citiz.cn —local self-government. It is j
by means of blunders that we learn. |
If children -are fordidden to try to i
walk they will never learn to walk.
If you would teach your child to walk
he would not lie forbidden to take the ,
first ste|>s inside his own nursery. j
Therefore I think these people must
lie left to control their own local af
fairs in order to make them fit to take
part in the grander and paramount
government of the whole country and
in the control of our finances and ortr
country." On tho subject of the atti
tude of the Democratic party on the
financial question lie said that only in
certain localities had the party pro
uouueed in favor of an irredeemable
(sipcr currency. That the idea of in
flation as a remedy for the bankrupt
cy which followed the decline of the
price of land in the west, was adopted
by many who were willing to accept
uny theory which promised to restore
the lost prosjierity. That the western
people took off the limit upon the rate
of intere.-t in order to buy land and
that the interest on mortgages in the
western States is 10 per cent, per an
num while in nearly all of the eastern
States it is only six. In his opinion
money was not worth more than six
per cent, any where and that a man
who is compelled to borrow money at
ten per cent, had loftier abandon hi
enterprise. In reply to a question of
his interlocutor on the subject of slave
labor, Mr. Hayard said : "Slavery is
in itself a reproach to laboring men.
and that class of men fell it, and did
not choose to engage in any hthor in
the fields side by side with bondmen.
1 believe that feeling existed. There
were comparatively few 'agricultural
white laborer* in the South prior to
the war. There were a great many
mechanic*, and they had a social }>•
sition much higher than the mechanic*
of tin- North ever knew. Anybody
who ha- ever la-en in the South must
have uotice<l that when white mechan
ics came to work at - the house of a
planter they came to the table with
him ami hi* family, ami were always
addressed a* Mr., and never by the
first name. Hut there were very few
white men in the South comparatively
who worked in the field with black
'hands.' Of course there were some,
but 1 think there was a certain re
proach to manual agricultural labor
that slavery caused, and I think men
felt it and it kept them away. I do
not think there <-an !*• any doubt now,
even if there was eVer any about the
false economy of negro slavery. I
think it was a false economy. I have
never heard one at the South who was
not glad slavery was at an end." In
regard to the Uepuhlican idea of the
necessity for troo|w at the |*>lls. Mr.
Havard gave it as his opinion that
free elections are the only safety for
the republic; that the army is the
creature and agent of the people and
to employ troops in the exercise of a
itolitical surveillance at the elections
is to make the servants of the people
sujs rior to their masters. The remedy
for fraud or violence at congressional
elections is a constitutional one and
consists in the jKiwcr of each House of
Congress to purge itself of members
whose certificates are stniucd by fraud
or force. With reference to the tnritr
Mr. Havard enunciated these views:
"I have no doubt at all that with the
other economic questions to which the
public will have to address their tniml*
the question of protection is one. That
seems pretty well settled. The capac
ities of the country are unlimited for
production, but the great question that
arises now is as to distribution. The
question of distribution is one of enor
mous importance. The manufacturing
capacity of the United States is twice
as great ns our native market need*.
We can supply the whole demand
twice over; HIKI the ouestion is, what
are you going to do with the surplus?
It is evident you have to find markets
for it. I do not see how our manu
facturers can lie successful in foreign
mnrkcts so long as they are handicap
ped by high duties upon the articles
that enter into their manufacture. If
they are to meet in the mnrkets of
South America or of Asia similar
manufacturers, none of whom have
paid taxes in tho shape of high duties,
I cannot see how they can IK- success
ful because all the ingenuity which
our people have in the way of labor
saving machinery will not enable them
to compete with another man who
buys free material. He is like a man
running n race Htrims-d ami ready,
and the other eiiciimnered with cloth
ing. It is not a fair race, ami I think,
therefore, it is clear to me that if we
expect our people to go abroad with
their products, wc must let them go,
as nearly as we cnn, unembarrassed ly 1
taxes U|mjii the articles which they
take there for Hale. That in the ques
tion. Van nitiHt consider that tn ncll
to a country means exchange, ami la
exchange, you niUHt take their good*
you iiiut take theirs, or else they can- .
not take your g<s>ds. We, through
('ongrcMH, have introduced the system j
at'taxation upon an enorniouH liadv at !
things. Two thousand tire humlred
articles are on the tax list of our im
porta. I have no doubt, however, !
that the free lint will he increased
from time to time. 1 think thut tariff
reform is very necessary, hut it ought
to he gradual and not sudden ; it
ought to he Imsed an a principle which j
is a stable one, so our people shall not j
he induced to enter into enterprises of
manufacture with uncertainty. I he
lie ve that we theu eau compete with
any people mast successfully. I think
there is a splendid future opening, hut
I do not think that it is fair to our
manufacturers to hear them dawn
with taxes upon every material and
yet expect them to compete with men
in foreign markets that pay no such
taxes. ' (>n the Chinese <pie-tiaii Mr.
Bayard said he took it for granted
that the feeling of the people of Cali
fornia and an the I'acihe coast will he
respected. The Senator went an to
speak of the prospective pros|H'iity of
tlie southern States and incidentally
remarked that the opening of the
mouth of the Mississippi to the navi
gation of vessels of heavy draught
through the instrumentality of the
finds jetties would prove of incalculu
hle benefit to the jieoplc of the West.
Ah for the southern States, they need
no legislation. The South simply
need* sympathy and respect. "I
would not treat this I nion," said the
Senator, "as nn experiment. 1 would
treat it us a fixed fact that the south
ern States are in the I nion and ali
gning to stay there; that they are
going to he part of our |>eople and
part of the government, and not only
expect them to sn-tain ami help it, hut
make that part of the country a source
of strength to the whole. I Want the
(ssiple of the South to feel that they
are a n-spected and **-ential |ortioii
of this I nion and that they cannot be
anything else. Now, in order to do
that we must make their position in
the ( iiiin one of honor in the first
place, mid then it' they tail away from
that it must l>e their own disgrace;
hut the honorable recognition must
precede the other, and that they have
not had yet at the hands of tin- Re
publican party. The people of the
northern States, whose representative
want to make a solid North, if they
are wise must sr that the South must
Ik- ouc of two thing*—a source of
weakness or a -ourcc of strength, hut

The family of Bonaparte* were of
pure Italian race; there was not n
drop of French I>l<*hl in any of them.
Their ancestor* had come from the
main land in the early history of Cor
sica, and their name* arc found in the
remote aiinals of Ajaceio. ('arlo
Bonaparte was n j*s>r gentleman of
excellent brtxxiing ami character, who
mnriietl in his youth a young ami ro
mantic girl named 1/ctiz.ia lUmolino,
who followed him in his campaign* up
to the moment of the birth of Na|*>lcon.
It i* impossible to say how much the
history of Europe owe* to the high
In-art and indomitable spirit of this
soldierly woman. She never relin
mushed her authority in her family.
When all her ehildrcii were |>riiiees
ami potentate*, she was -till the severe,
stern Madame Mere. The beauty ami
grace of Juno phi tic Bcnuharuni* never
conquered her; the sweet Tyrolese
pretlinem of Maria Ixiuisa won from
her only a sort of contemptuous in
dulgence. When her mighty son
ruled the continent, she was the only
human being whose eludings he re
garded or endured. She was faithful
in her rebuke* while the sun shone,
and when calamity came, her un
daunted spirit was still true and de
voted to the fallen. Her provincial
habit of economy stood her in good
stead in her vigorous old age; she
was rich when the Empire had pa-* <1
away, and her grand-children needed
her aid. It must have been from her
that Niifioleou took his extraordinary
character, for Carlo Bonaparte, though
a brave soldier and an ardent patriot
in his youth, was of an easy and genial
temper, inclined to tnke the world n*
he found it, and not to insist too much
on having it go in his csjicciii! way.
A touching story of the endurance
of humnn love is thnt of a mother in a
West Virginia village, whose son went
out one evening thirty years ngo, ask
ing her to have supper ready for him
when he should come hack. Whether
be was murdered or rail nwav to sea,
nobodv knows. He has never return
ed. Hi* mother, now feeble and
white-haired, makes ready for him
every night, place* his chair by tin
table ami waits. "He will romo some
day," she says, "and then he will see
that 1 never have forgotten him."
One cannot hut hojie that the loving
patience of the ixsir waiting heart
may yet be rewarded.
Don't pay any attention to a sign
of "sbut this door." it is the trick of
a lazy man to get others to his work
| for him.—Detroit Free Pre**.

At this particular writing we can-
I'lftt reenll the name of any one m..rv
deserving of the admiration of the
human family than the Honorable
1 Jonah. Adam mav be reverenced,
hut Jonah is entitled to gushing love.
The former cavorted in a garden, ami
had nothing to do hut fatten on the
luxuries set In-fore him, dance, swing
hi* partner down the walks, and waltz
her over the flower beds, of the lovely
Eden. But, by inexcusable weakness
—if we nuty he allowed to reflect
upon one whose reputation is world
wide, and to whom mankind are un
der n numlK*r of obligations—he sur
rendered pleasure* that would have
been eternal, and left a* n heritage to
his descendants, trials, pains, tribula
tions and temptation*. The fact that
disgusting snake* have to walk 011
their In-llie* is but a prsr recompense
for the afflictions caused by the want
of sninc in the weak old man. The
truth i* he deserve* no credit for the
belly troweling of ser|K*pt*. Had they
remained upright and lieen required
to walk upon the extremity of their
narratives, their approach could be
seen in time to enable the seed of
womnu to gather sufficient ground seed
to bruise the head* of the accursed.
But the immortal Jonah was not
guilty of ntty such indiscretion, llis
greatest crime was a little tilasphem
mg when this l>oat on which he had
taken passage refused to obey it- rud
der. He did not know, at the time—
ami was too angry to cure- that a
storm arose to punish liiiu for his per
versity in settling out for 'J'arshish
when he was ordered to report in
Niucvah. With a few strokes of his
trident Mr. Neptune so troubled the
sea that the pilot left the wheel-house
and officers and crew called their
passenger before them. When asked
his name, occupation and destination,
he replied that his name wa* Jonah,
that lie wiis engaged in the gourd
business on a plain over unto the val
ley of Jehosuphut, and that he wished
to spend a few days with a friend
residing at Tarshisii. His statement
being made, the thunder and light
ning increased in intensity, and the
billows threatened to swallow the ves
sel. Jonah quietly took in the situa
tion, and to save his fellow voyagers
he made a heroic hap into the Iwiist
crous waters of the Mediterranean.
His historian says that a friendly
whale gave him a couch adjoining
one of his private parlors, with the
offer of a |M-rmanent home. Who else
ever had the courage to explore the
inner chambers of a leviathan? If
so, who? After spending three days
and so many nights in examining
the architecture of the floating palace,
that restlessness which characterizes
humanity made him anxious for a 1
change of scene. By vigorous appli
cations of' his stogie h<s)ts ujsiti the
panels, his door flew open and he
came out "like a little man." There
was a grandeur in hi- going and com- '
ing that made him the gn-atest hero !
known in history since the stars gave
their first matutinal concert. The I
leaders of the Jchusitcs performed
many net* requiring courage. The
athlete- of the Hitites were -ujs-rior
to the most powerful bruisers of the
modern Prize lling-. Nirnrod, a- a
shootist, has never been equaled bv
either Carver <>r llogardu*. He never
was known to mi-s the smallest bird

she never slept in the stomach of a

mon consent, as the bosses timhali-t,
hut she never sat in a whale's U-llv.
1 tclilah conquered a man who could

An Ideal School for (Oris.
I rw <!• I/.h4* a Trulh,Dtlilff 23
I have long had as an idea the
creation of a girls' school which shall
Im* organized on exactly the same plan
as public schools for hoy*—Eton, for
instance. The girls should reside by
twenties in tlx* house* of married mas
ters, whose wive* would act as 'dame*;'
ami there should in each house be a
resident governess to discharge the
function* of monitors. The girls should
each have fheir own private room,
where they might take breakfa*t and
tea singly or in messes of two and
three, a* they might prefer, and thev
>hould dine and sup st their tutor'*
and dame's table*. The classes should
Ik* held in the school-rooms of the col
lege under the direction of male or
female professor* ; and the girls should
attend services all together in their
chn|M*J. A* for recreation, such a col
lege a* I propose would become a little
township, having it* walks and park
where the pupil* would have liberty
to roam and play a* they pleased un
der certain restrictions a* to hour* of
liH*k-up. If in a college of thi* kind
music and drawing were trente*! a*
extra* and the general fxlucaton were
, confined to the three. H's, modern lan
guag*s, history, geography and sewing,
I am convinced the school would turn
out very creditable pupils indeed, and,
what is equally to the purpose, would
render the school life of the girls hap
py, which it seldom is at present. I
hope to sec this idea carrier! out some
•lay by a group of paterfaiuilis-cs hav
ing money to embark in an enterprise
which would ultimately pay well it
more senses than one.

From Hit- Albxijr Law JuttuS .V/vemlwr
Two rather recent case* show tho
necessity of moderation of utterance
in counsel. In one CUM; in North
Carolina it wit- held that it i* not
within the privilege of counsel in ar
gument to a jury to u*e language cal
culated to hupiilitate and degrade the
opposite party ill the eye* of the jury
and byntaudcrs, particularly when he
ha* not been irnjx-achexl; and where,
on the trial, a witness for plaiutifl' had
been impeached hy the testimony of
defendant, ami plaintiff"* counsel raid
in addressing the jury "that no man
who lived in defendant's neighborhood
eould have anything but a had char
acter ; that defendant polluted every
thing near him or that he touched ;
that he wa* like the upas tree, shed
ding pestilence and corruption all
around hi in that the defendant wax
entitled to a new trial, without show
ing that his cause was prejudiced bv
the use of that language. The same
doctrine was held in a case in Wiscon
sin, where no evidence having Ix-en
given of the defendant's ability to pay
exemplary damages, the plaintiff" a
counsel ap|>ear* to have undertaken
to supply this want of evidence by
commenting to the jury ujwm the uj>-
pcllaulV connection with the railroad
company ami the wealth and power
of the compauv as a great corporation,
and defendant .- ability, from bis con
; ucction with if, to pay any judgment
which might lie rendered against him.
■ The t'ourt held that it is error suffi
cient to reverH-a judgment, for conn
-cl, again-t objection, to state facts
I rtincnl to tin issue and not in evi
dence, or to a-siime while arguing)
-ueh facts to bi in the case when tie v
arc not. The Court say in the Wis
: coiisin case : "The profes-iou of the
; law i- iiis-titut*-*l for the administration
■of justice. The duties of the bench
i and bar differ in kind, not in purpose.
I he duty of lioth alike is to establish
(le- truth and to apply the law to it.
It is e*M-ntial to the proper adminis
tration of justice, frail and uncertain
at the lust, that all that can Is said
for each party, in the determination of
fact and law, should Is- h<*rd. For
< n-ic strife i- but a method, and a
mighty one, t* ascertain the truth ami
the law governing the truth. It is the
duty of coun-el to make the mist of
the ca-e which his client is able to
give him ; but counsel is out of bis
duty and his right, ami outside of the
principle and object of his profession,
when he travels out of hit client's case
and assumes to supply its deficiencies.
Therefore is it that the nice sense of
the profession regards with such dis
trust ami aversion the testimony of a
lawyer in favor of his client. It is tho
duty and right of counsel to indulge?
in all lair arguments in favor of the
■ right of his client ; but ho is outside
i of his duty and his right when he ap
-1 |>eals to prejudice irrelevant to tho
' case. Properly, prejudice has no more
I sanction at the liar tlian on the bench.
Hut ati advocate may make himself
the aiirr rgo of his client, and indulge
in prejudice in his favor. He may
! even share his client's prejudices
against his adversary, as far as they
rest on the facts in his case, hut h
has neither duty nor right to appeal
to prejudices, just or unjust, against
the adversary outside the very case ho
has to try. The very fullest freedom
of speech within the duty of his pro
fession should be accorded to counsel ;
but it is license, not freedom of speech
to travel out of the record, basing his
argument on facts not appearing, ami
appealing to prejudices irrelevant to
the case and outside of the proof."
A colored man wa once aked why
he did not get married. "Whv, you,
see, sah," said he, "I got an old mud
dor, and I hah to do for her, ve see,
sah, an' if I don't buy her shoes an'
stockin's an' bread an' butter, she
wouldn't get none. Now ,ef I was to
get married. 1 would be takin' de
shoes an' stockin's an' bread an' butter
right out of my madder's niouf."
AN exchange says: "A lady in
forms us that when plants are frost
bitten, if they lie placer! in the dark
during the day following, if fro ten in
the night, or immediately, if in the
daytime, thev will revive and lie all
right again the majority of ca**."
