yhen President tjneoln formed
tis first Cabinet, in 1861, Mr. Cam
eron was announced as Secretary of
War. The country, was on the verge
ofdcivil war. The,civil and military
I• . •
service were demoralized. and dis:
trust prevailed in every quarter. Ac
tive military preparations
,were not
long, delayed. and it became neeessa
ryTto procure munitions of war and
to make contracts for the . mobilizing
and support of an army. Some of the
early operations of the Government
in this regard were so neutralized by
the elisaffection of its trusted servants
that the. Cabinet determined to and
did appi%nt a commission of known
loyalty to go to New Tork to pur
chase supplies for the army. The,
record shows that the suM of $2,000,-
000 was placed to the credit of this
commission. of which only $lOO,OOO
:was used. and the remaining $1.000,-
000 was covered back into the treas
ury. -Meanwhile there wac- tre
thendOus pressure for contract and
for every person who received a con
tract there was a score of disappoint
ed ones. ,On Mr. Cameron fell - the
diflicult and - thankless work of
awarding these contracts, and on his
shoulders most Of the resultant odi
um.. DiSappointed applicants com
plained to Members of Congress and
finade broad charges - of favoritism.
'Secretary Cameron had incurred the
ill-will - of Mr. Seward, Secretary of
State.- by declaring that- the war
would probably last for years, when
Seward said it would be finished in
ninety days. Ile s was regarded with
distrust by the Secretaay of the
Treasury on account of his alarming
estimates Of expenditures, and cen
sured by Attorney General Bates, a
regular dullard
. and legal -martinet,
for accepting" 700,000 troops when
the laW only- authorized the enlist
ment of 500,000. The fact was that
Secretary Cameron looked further
into the future than any of his eel
leagues, and came nearer taking in
the true dimensions of the rebellion.
These were'some 'of the causes oper
ating against him at that time.
Another was that he was an open
advocate of arming the negroes, a
proposition-which in the then de
bauched condition of the public mind
met with decided opposition from
many respectable and conservative
persons, It is to the,
he
honor
of Mr, Cameron that he was one of
the first public men to openly advo
cate this measure of justice and de
fence; ,and during the time lig acted
as Secretary of War, a periottof less
than twelve months, he rendered,
great service in enforcing this policy
and putting negro troops into the
field. Early in 1862;Mr. Cameron
was appointed Minister to .11ussia,
and retired.' from the Cabinet. In
April of that
. year Mr. Holman, of
this State, introduced . a resolution in
the House, declaring that the late
Secretary of Wary "by' involving the
Government in a vast number of .egn
`fillets," etc., had adopted al policy
highly injurious to the public Service,
and that he deserved the censure of
the Himse. The country was excited,
Congress dissatisfied, and Mr. Cam
,ercur a convenient victim.. The reso-
lotion was passed by a' vote of 79 to
45, all the Democrats and some Re
publicans voting for it. Shortly-.af
terwards President Lincoln sent a
message to Congress, in which;; after
referring. to the resolntion, he pro
ceeded to 'narrate' 'n•ery graphic
style the difficulties tinder which he
had lab - ored at the beginning and
during 'the early months of his ad
ministration, the public mind was
stimne4 and the public will para.
lyied. "There was," said President
Lincolu,." no adequate nnd effective
orranization for the pnblie defense.
Vongre'ss had indefinitely adjourned.
There was no time to conveneit.: It
became necessary for 'Me to .choose
whether, using only ithe existing
means, agencies, and processes which
Congress, had provided, I should at
once let the government fall into ru
in, or whether, availing myself of the
brumler powers conferred by, the
Constitution, in cases of insurrec
tion. I would make an effort to save
it,
i with all its blessings, 'for the pres
ent age and for posterity." In this
sienation he said he summoned a
meeting of his constitutional adVisors
On: Sunday, April 20th, 1862, and
then and there he himself, with the
unanimous concurrence of his Cabi
net, authorized Ind ordered the very
things for which Secretary Cameron
had been censured by Congress.
Concluding, Mr. Lineolnsaid: ; "Con
(tress will 'see that I would b want
ings, equally in candor and in justice
if I should leave the censure express
ed in this resolution to rest exclu
sively or chiefly upon Mr. Cameron.
The same sentiment is unanimously
entertained by, the heads of depart
ments
et who participated in_ the. pro
ceedings which the Hot* of Repre
sentatives has censured. :It is due to'
Mr. Cameron to say that, although
he fully approved the proceedings, ,
they were not moved nor suggested
by himself, and that not .only . the
President,• but all the
.other beads of
departments. were at least equally,
responsible with him for whatever et. ,
rot, wrong, or fault was committed
in the premises." This just and gen;
erous message of the President was a'
complete vindication of the late Sec
retary from the charges , which had.'
been so vindictively pushed against
him, and yet he was Allowed to rest
under them for nearly thirteen years.
During all the intervening period
Mr. Cameron has been in public life,'
the recipient of .his full share of '
Democratic abuse,. and not until a
few months ago did the House of
Representatives see fit to remove the
censure which President Lincoln had
declared to be so undeserved. On
,the 2d of last March Mr. Scofield in
trodheed the following : !
. WIIEREA:ii, The •House lof Reprsenta
tiveson theMth day of April ,1862, adopt
ed,a resolution censuric.g Simon Cameron
for certain alleged irregular proceedings
as :.k.crkary of -War, in the .matter. of
Purchasing military supplies at the out
break of the-rebellion', and 1 .
WnEnEAs, On the 26th daY of the en
suing; month the then I President, of the
• Cnired States, Abraham Lincoln, in a spe
cial message to CongresS, assumed for the
Executive Department of the Government
the full responsibility of the !Rsoceedings
complained of declaring in said message
that he should be equally.wanting in can-,
dor and in justice if he ~should leave the
censure to rest exclusiVely or chiefly on
Mr.i Cameron, and added that it was due
to Mr. Cameron to say that, idthough he
fully approved the proceedings, they were
not moved nor suggested byhim, and that
not only the Pycsident, but an the other
heads of departments were at least equal
ly responsible with him for Whatever er
ror, wrong,. or fault was committed in the
premiSes ; therefore, ,
Rtxrdred, That this House, as an act of
personal justice to Mr. Cameron and as a
eorreetion of its own records,' hereby di
rects that said resolution be rescinded,
mid that the rescission be 'entered on. the
margin of the Jtmena/ where said resolu
tion is recorded.
This resolution ryas pasSed .unani
mouslyouid it should be recorded to
the • credit of the DeiniOckatic mem
bers of -the House that not 'one 'of.
them Voted against it. Its paisage,
iti not, to be regarded as a i personal
triumph of Mr - . Cameron,. but simply
as an act of justice, and on 'admission
on the part of Congress ! that the res
olution of censure was undeserved.
It was an outgrowth of the times,
and ah unworthy concession to' the .
spirit which made it fashionable to .
abuse a man who has done much for
the cause of freedom, and who dills,
never yet betrayed it. Senator-Catn
eron is now well advanced! in years,
and in the course of nature must be
near the close of his public career.
He has the gratification, as Thomas
- Benton had, of living to see a
Con
gressional resolution of censure 'ex
pugned.by a solemn vote of the bOdy
which passed it, and it is not likely ;
that he will allow the closing yea:l.s
'of his' public life to be materially
embittered by the attackS of those
Democratic editors who may be
classed as the very small fry of polit
icalovermin.

A gentleman says, after suffering
excruciating pain from
,this, ache, and
having tried in vain to obtain relief,
Betty told me a gentleman had been
waiting sometime in the parlor, who
said he would not detain me one
minute. He came—w- friend I had
not seen for years. He sympailliZed
with me, while I briefly told how sad

"My dear friend," exclainied he,
"1 can cure you in ten minutes."

" Instantly," said he. " Betty, have

Yes.".
"Bring it, and some common salt."
They were produced ; my friend
pulverized them. - mixed, in equal
quantities ; then wet a small piece of
cotton, causing the mixed powders
to adltere, and placed it in my hollow

GRACE DABIEEIG.
Off the coast of Northamberla
and outside, so to speak, of the F
roe Islands, 'lies the Longstone—
rock abort . four feet above high-wa
ter mark, and swept by every gale
withlierce drifts of spray and foam.
Here, about six miles from the shore,
is planted 'a light-house, which has
been found of great use to the coast
ing vessels navigating these danger
ous waters. Seven and thirty years
ago its keeper was 'named , Darling.
He had a daughter, Grace—a quiet,
modest, well-behaved girl, whose
name, through one noble action, will
forever - behonored among women.
One dark night in September, 1838,
the. Imlarshire, a' Hull steamer,
struck suddSnly on a ; reef, called the
Harears, in the vicinity of the light
house. She had on board sixty-three
persons, including passengers and
crew. :Their signals of distress were
observed from the light-house. It
was impossible for, Darling ; the keep: ,
er to pull off in. his boat alone ; no
single arm could have impelled it
through the raging sea that then 'pre
vailed. 'With admirable courage;
OrgeeD o• arlin resolved to assist him
•
on his noble errand. She sprang in
to the skiff, and over the bounding
billows father and daughter gallantly
made theVi way. Their, lives hung up
on a thread: , but the brave girl never
bated jot of heart.or hope, and rowed
with all the Vigor which a noble en
thusiasm is apt to inspire. They
reached the whip and took off nine
persons, with whom they contrived
•to reach thilidight-hOuse. Nineinore
escaped in one of the steamer's boats;
all the rest perished.'
•
'Grace Darling did ,not live Many
. years after the event which Made her
famous. She was interred in the old
Chapel on Holy Island, and an epi
taph to her memory was , composed
by the poet Wadsworth:
The maiden, gentle, yet at duty's call
Firm and unflinching as the light-house reared
On the Island rock her only dwelling-place':
Or, like the brvlsll4e rock Itself, that braves. •
Age after age, the hostile elements,:

A pious minister in South Corolina, but
a great believer in certain weather signs,
was asked to petithipthe throne of grace

The two most common subjects of
complaint with wives and mothers of
limited income ni this and other
large cities are, that-they are debarred
from society by the expense of the
ordinary methods of hospitality; and
secondly, that the habits of city life
separate them from the companion
ship of their children. The wife of a
man in Moderate circumstances tells
you that she cannot afford.- to give
balls, kettle-drums, or even dinners
to her friends ; that her boys and
girls scurry otf to school after a hur
ried brealifast, and dine at noon
alone . ; foi•, being a woman of -sense,
she - will not allow UlOl to eat the
heavest meal of the day at h or 7,0
M. the hour when their father comes
home to dinner. The family dinner
at midday, and the evening tea of in
land towns, at which parents and
children gather about the table and
learn to know one another through
the interests and feelings .of every
day,,are almost unknown in the' mine
grade of • social city life. Now we
suggest that the luncheon is a meal
of , undeveloped opportlu►ities to the
houskeeper and mother. We do not
by any means refer to the elaborate
state lunches given by leaders of
fashion during the last two or three
years, where the floral decorations
alone cost a liberal annual income.
But there is iio reasomwhy any house
keeper should not, with a little per
sonal trouble, convert her children's
dinner into a delicately served savor)
meal to which she could invite juror.
malty two or three of her lady
friends. It is emphatically a wo
man's meal; and husbands need not
hint cynically that the chief dish will
be gossip. There is no better talk

this:noonday meal, to cover the table
warmly: . The niajority of economical
housewives buy the plain white china
for every-day use, but it has, to us, a
chilly and meagre air in conjunction

skillful handling, convert an ordinary
meal into a picture. The most beau

. Clam Morris has a passion for (logs

My friend evidently considered
this style 'befitting the emotional

filled up Delaware and parts of Ches

AIL of these. people have left traces
of their early settlements in the

tics, and in thel, family names of
Pennsylvania. The great - mass of
settlers—the English, (leniians and .
Welsh—belonged to religious socie-
ties or sects which were averse to

fact which determined the location .

SXETPH OF A 'ln DAME
Charley Hall, engaged in freights

City Journal, some interesting par

on Bordeaux creek, twelve miles from
Spotted Tail agency. This is the
great event ()f the year among the
Indians. and in this case was 'attend-
ea b`• the'greater portion of the *a
riors and squaws of both Spotte

of the ceremony is the making war
riors out of young braves, who, to
attain the 'coveted distinction subject
themselves.to - cruel torture

up continuously for three days and
nights, and the only nourishment al
