Late one sunnner afternoon, a dozen years
ago, a solitary white man stood before an idol
*trans temple on-an island in the South Pacific..
Ile was of rniddleage, tall, thin, and gaunt,
with-rugged featuret.lindl sorrowful eyes, and
witir every sign of goodness .and intelligence.
- - Beside him was a grim stone idol, in gro

himself, Which lie had just finished, as was in

Be ran his eye rapidly over • the inscription
in question. It was as follows : •
. - "The 9th of May, 1852, David Lester, of

Finished this inscription this' lth day of July,
For several minutes the prisoner contem
plated these lines in silence, and then aroused
himself, looldng warily around.
"Three times I have tried to escape in a
canoe," he muttered, "and every time I Was
caught, and visited with tortures.. To be
caught again in such an attempt will be cer
tain death. Yet. I will risk all the first oppor

and my family is becoming a pogitive mad
ness. 0, my God! what is that ?"
He gazed M perfect stupefaction to the east
', ward, far out, upon the ocean.
There, miles and leagues away, was a ship,
her white sails gleaming as, she lay becalmed
upon the waters. • ,
"A ship ! a ship !" cried Laster, sobbingly.
"At last, 0 Heaven! At, last,' my, prayer is
answered!"
The truth flashed upon him?
"I see Wall!" be cried, leaping to his feet.
'Riley is taking me to sea with him! Captain
Riley !"• he ' shouted, pounding on the wall,
"open the door, this minute! Let me out,. or
It will be 'bad for you!"
No reply , was made to , him—no attention
paid to his cries.
Re saw that he was fast.
For a moment he was stunned by the .know
ledge of his situation;
Then-he- drew up his slight, boyish figure
proudly, his eyes flashing deflance.
" The thing for me to do," he mused, "is to
help myself. A boy who can't fight. his own
way will never be a map !"'
Drawing from his pocket a match, of which
he usually carried a supply, he lighted the
candle in its bak at one end Of the state-room.
"I see," he mentally commented, looking
around, in the light thus furnished. " Here's
a Whole dray load of boxes and bundles. And
here's a cannon too," added Ally-4" a small

kindling eyes. "I have, plenty of powder in

Without more ado, Ally set at work loading
and firing the little cannon as rapidly as possi
ble, smashing the door, and ' calling out for
everybody to keep out of the way. The
captain and crew were frantic with fear, as '
-there:was-a large quantity of- powder. in-the
-
state-room, and the prospect was that the ship
would be blown to atoms. Raving

state-room ,and cabin with smoke, Ally seized
. one of the Captain's revolvers, burst open the
shattered door, rushed--upon- deck, and leaped
into the river.

THE PMEONEieS HOME
• • On the east bank of the'Elizabetli river, just
out of Norfolk, and overlooking Hampton
Roads, stood a beautiful cottage, the h6me of
the wife and daughter •of David Lester, the
prisoner of the lone island in the far Pacific.
Near the close of a lovely afternoon in May,
kiis.'LeSter and her, daughter sat ;. together
'upon their front. verandah.
The mother •was a lOVely, sweet-faced, sad
: eyed woman of two and thirty years.
• The daughter, Amy Leger, not yet fifteen,
'was a strange compound of child and woman.
" You are thinking of father, dear mother 2"
..murmured the maiden, as she marked the
lady's longing gaze. ; '
4 Yes, child. • Your father, my husband;
Where is he? Somewhere um.er , the sea
waves, • wrecked on a desert island, or lan
gpishing on a hostile shore? It is five years
since he left, us on that fatal voyage to China.
3.1 y reason assures-me that he is dead ; 'yet,
Amy, I can only think of him as living."
"It is so with me, mother," said Amy, with a
tremulous quiver of her lips. "I dream often
that he is living—that he is coming home !" '
"We need ifirn in a hundred ways," said
3lrs. Lester, sighing. "If anything were to
happen to me, Amy, I shudder to think what
would become of you. You have been Mx:flight
up - in hdury, and would • feel keenly any
change to poyerty.". '
"Are we not rich, then, mother?" asked
Amy, in snrprise.•
"I supposed so, dear, until three years ago,"
replied the mother sadly. ' "Your father was a
merchant and ship-owner, a partner Of Colonel
Nichols. • But two years ago Colonel Nichols
- informed me that the ot - itStaiidifigdelifs of the
fum more than balanced the assets; in short,
Amy, that he was on the verge of bankruptcy,
his fortune and ourvlike wrecked !"
"I d6n't like Colonel Nichols !" said Amy, •
thoughtfully. "If he lost all his money with
(furs, how does he live in 'such grand style?
•To whom do his ships and / great hOuse be
' long?"
"To his neplieW, Ally Bell. Colonel Nichols
is Ally's guardian. The Colonel has nothing
of his own, excepting a farm or two up-coun
try which were not risked in the business."
`Amy contracted her little brows reflectively,
and was about to reply; when the garden gate
swung on its hinges, and a boyish figure came
lightly up the walk.
"It's Ally, mother—it's Ally Bell I" exclaimed
Amy, all smiles and blushes

DESPERATE t3TiWOOLEFOR LIBERTY.;
Before Ally Bell reached the brig . lying at
the wharf, his uncle, Colonel Nichols, had been
there and arranged.with the Captain,who went
by the name of Riley, to carry Ally off , . to

Riley knew that, and resolved, that Ally Bell
should never see Norfolk again:

Colonel Nichols finished drinking success to
their nefarious schemes, to which the Colonel
replied

into the cabin his face flushed with ileasurable
excitement. '. •
"Kin just ,in tune;' tosee you off, Captain
Riley," he said, noticing the guilty looks of the
Conspirators. , "The wind is lair, . and the crew

He advanced, and Ming open the state-room
door. ' •
Ally bent forward and looked in.
With a quick thrust, Riley pushed him into
the - little room and, hurriedly locked the door.
With an. ex-iiltant smile. Colonel Nichols said
adieu,,and went ashore.:
The next minute the hurried trampling of
feet was blendavith the songs of the stout
seamen, as the 11)6z moved slowly from the
wharf towards: the sea.
- Ally's first thought, on finding himself shut
up in Captain Jliley's state-room, was that the
two men were joking—merely intending to
scare him a little, and then let him out; but he
soon discovered that the Quickstep—the brig
was so named—had left her wharf, and was
standing down , the Elizabeth river towards the
ocean.

that Collins had rowed• Amy off to the brie

by drowning.
Amy was vehement in her denunciations o

On attemptingto rise to go home,Amy foun

to silence her•dangerous tongue, and dso t.
give him a hold on her mother. The , Captain

she did it herself in a Wild mood."'
He hurried out of the cottage bearing his
frail burden. Tilley followed hastily, and the
two made their way to the spot where Col
lins's boat lay. It was but the work of e a inn,
went fot Riley to push off the little. craft and
overset it.
."There, they'll think the girl got wild with
grief and was drowned in an attempt to search
for Ally again!" said the Colonel exultantly,
tossing Amy's white apron upon the beach.
"That apron will fix the matter beyond a
doubt ! •The wind is' rising, lliley. You had
better take advantage of it !"
The two hurried to the waiting boat. Riley
laid the unconscious Amy in the bottom, and
then seized the oars.and rowed rapidly towards
the brig. .
Nichols, full of exultation, looked after the
boatAintil-itwas-lost-to view.
"My first plan was successful !" he muttered.
"Ally is dead! I arua rich man! And my se

He looked with gloating eyes seaward, ex

an hour later, the sails of the Quickstep
and the brig moved swiftly toward the sea, tak
ing with her Margaret Lester's only comfort—
the distant father's star of hope!

then suddenly leaping upon the priest, he bore

face brown with dirt, went to the shore where
the canoes were lying, entered one of them,
paddled out to sea in the direction in which he
had seen the ship.
Ile paddled for hours with all his strength;
and had gone so farthat the lights of the island
could not be seen, and yet no ship had, been
found; and now the wind was rising and a
storm was threatening.
"Oh, God! Am I foufaken ?" he cried, in An
awful anguiSh, 'seled with a fear that the wind
would take the ship : from him. "Must I perish
here ?"
At that moment ; when hope was dying, he
beheld a sight that turned all his wild woe into
yet wilder ecstasy.
There, to the northward, was the ship;
standing directly towards him, with all sails
set to catch the rising breeze, and not half a
mile away.
"Yes there she is," he shouted. "aBM' is

and a group of Sailors leaning over the ship's

In an instant more the ship had resumed her
course, and Was moving in stately fashion be

"Safe at last!" murmured Lester, leaning

ATTORNEY-aNNEIIAL'S OFFICE,. August
-- 28„.
18641. To the I7On. John A. limonite, Bciiretary ()J.
lVar—Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of July 27, 1869, in
which you request my opinion upon so much
of the questions submitted in the letter of .the
Commanding . General of.. _the First • Mill
tory District,. dated the 10th instant, and
accouipanying copies;of Which . are itt . ,
Closed, as refers to the legal qualifications of
Officers to be elected tinder the proPoSed Con-,
stitution of the State ot!Virginia,-aud
upon the question whether persons. elected to
office in such State undersold Constitution are
'tequired by the Supplemental Reconstruetion -
act of July .19th, to take and
istri , to the :oath - prescribed or referred:to'.
in section 9 of said act before entering..,
upon' the • duties: of their respective
oiliqes. The latter quedion • is . the only
~one,
indicated;ith ',:subh distifietnoss . as to - enable ,
me to be fully satisfied that its,purport, is ap
prehended, and I, therefore, confine my
answer to that. By the statute of April 10,
184 Z..), the ,registered voters of were
authoilied:.4O. veto.' on the question of , - the.
adoption of a constitution for the State, and
- 'at the same time to elect officers under it,
subject to the approval of Congress. The vote
has been taken - In purfaionee of the . pro Visions
of the act, and the election • held, and seine
parts of the constitution submitted have been
adopted by the people and others rejected.
:•The parts of the proposed constitution thus
adopted, if they shall be , approved . by
Congress,be' the constitution
Of Virginia, .';under which ' , all.
its officers - will he required to act, and the
qualifications as well as the, duties of those
'Aileen; will lie determined by it. ;When Vir
ginia is restored to its proper relations Ti) the
country as a State of -the -Union.. its . officers ,.
and Legislature will be such 'as - the constitu
tion of the State provides,deriving their powers
from that, instrument . ; and it will clearly
not be in the power of Congress to
impose; any -requirements of additiOnal
qualifications upon them different from those
which, under the constitution of the 'United
States, may be required in all the States. If,
therefore, any tests were to be imposed upon
members of the Legislature not provided by
the constitution of Virginias or - any - restriction
imposed upon the neople of the State in their
:choice of officers not recognized by it,
and not, made • applicable , under
the legitiinate powers of Congress to all the
States. The Legislature and officers would
not, in my opinion, be the Legislature and
officers of Virginia muter its Constitution. I
do not, see that Congress can undertake to
furnish the. State with a suitable Legislature
to start With, Or to exercise any control over
its composition which could not be exercised
over subsequent Legislatures. I am, tlfert - !-
fore', of opinion that the oath prescribed by
the statute of 1862, and by the statute of .
July 19,1867, chapter ;30, ,section 9; required
to betaken by all persons elected or appointed
to office in said Military Districts, under
anyso-called State or municipal authority, is
not to be required of the officers of the State
Vire nia or Tnpiniwut
elecie under ; the new constitution. It does
. not seem to me that, the rovisions of this
giraFieemn-whielrart.rapp ento, le--40V--
ernment of the State under military . au
thority, Were intended to apply7'to
the Legislature and officers. under whom the
State is to be restored to its proper relations
to the Thilon,and by whom the government of
the State is to be administered after its restora
tion. This opinion is, strongly confirmed by a
reference to the second section of the• same
act, which antborizes the Commander of any
district named in the act to suspend or remove
from office, or from the performance of
.offieirapowers,aps officer or person holding;_
or exercising, or professing to hohi or sexer-'
cise, any civil or military office or duty in said
district, l Under ..alif7'former election, appoint
ment or authority derived from or granted by or
claiMedUnder any so-called State or the gOVetn' .
ment thereof, and to a competent ellider
or soldier of the army to. ,perform•sach duties.
It would be imposSible 'to suppose that Con
--gress—could—intend—that-a---Legishiturerunder—
the Constitution of a.- State, could have its
'members appointed b a detail from',Soldiers
of the army, The only reasonable conclusion
seemiterne trO be; ;that was not . .intended'
that any 'Snob Legislature allowed
to' exist, and act until! reconstruction was com
pleted, except for the liMited and Unarmed.
parposes requisite to reconstruction. But on
the other hand,l fully concur with the view of
the General commanding in Virginia that
tinder the reconstruction . acts! of, 'Congress.
no officer or legislature is competent or
should be , permittedt to exercise any, , of
the functions or 'POW& , of < his , office
-Within- that -,State, except so far -as -these
acts themselves provide; Without _taking .the_.
eatt6'whichl' hrreferred , to in the;- statute -of
1867, above quoted. The act of April 10,
1869, requires the Legialature to Meet,. at
time which it designates—that is, "to meet,".
implies that it is to come 'together for some
purpose. It is requirbitunlier theprevious
laws to act uoti the question .of
adopting the Fourteenth AMendment
to the COnstitution of the United
States before the admission of the
Statetopmpresentation in .Congress:, am of
opinion,, on therefore; : that, play' come tOgethet, (
orgauize, and act upon :that amendment : but
