The Husband's' Soliloquy.
BY MRS. M. A. KIDDER.
Lovely woman, sweet and human I
Iloir her witching -ways disarm us
Bright and witty what a pity I
That Iter bills should so alarm us I
Charming creature ! how tach feature
Lights up with ecstatic pleasure ?
(Harmless passion,) when Dame fashion
Brings to view Iter latest treasures 1
Silks and laces I how her face is
Iladient as the sunlight dawning ;
Eyes are glancing, curls are dancing,
And her brow is like the morning?
Daily shopping money dropping
Fast from white and dainty fingers,
Wants explicit tate exquhute;
How the happy phopper lingers !
Ah ! 'tis cruel, when a jewel
Might light up sweet home affection,
Thus to splutter, scold and flutter,
When wife hints in that direction !
Woman tender, who can render
Too much joy to match her boauty I
How can dresses or caresses
Half repay her love and duty ! c
Then, Dame Fashion, put the lash on, .
Urge your steeds of daring mettle :
Lovely woman, sweet and human,
Must have dress, and wc must settle !
"Let Jeemes Go." The Land We
Love, gives a model letter from a young
lady, whose sweetheart was in the 5th
South Carolina regiment, to Mr. Davis,
President of the late confederacy, asking
for a furlough for her lover to come home
and get married.
"Pjcar Mr. president I want you
to let Jeemes Glancy, of Company 1th,
Fifth South Carolina regiment, come
home and get married. Jeemes is wil
ling I is willin' my mammy is willien,'
his mammy sajs she is willin1' but J ecmes'
Captain, he ain't willin." Now when
we're all willin' ceptin' Jecms Captain, I I
think you might let up and let Jeemes
come. I'll make him go straight back
when he's done got married, and fight as
hard as ever.
Your affectionate friend," etc.
Mr. Davis wrote on the letter, "Let
Jeemes go," and Jeemes came home, mar
ried the affectionate correspondent of Mr.
Davis, and returned to his regiment, and
did fight as well as ever.
A Connecticut editor fell on an icy1

The Complicity of John Surratt.
CONFESSION OF SAMUEL B. ARNOLD,
MADE APRIL 18, 18G5.
To Whom it May Concern :
Know ye that I Samuel B. Arnold,
about the latter part of August or first
part of September, 18G4, was sent for by
J. ukes Booth, who was a cuest at Bar-
num's Hotel, in the city of Baltimore,
Md., to call to see him. I had not seen
the same J. Wilkes Booth since 1852,
when we both were schoolmates at St.
Timothy's Hall, President L. Van B-jke-,
lin then having said Hall as a place of the private box and sens th president,

Calling for wine and cigars, we conversed , J- Wilkes Booth were to handcuff him and
lower him on the stacc, whilst Xose-
days. We were interrupted by x knock
as the door, when Michael O'Laujrhlin
was ushered in. After a formal intro
duction, we sat sipping our wiuc, end all
three smoked a cigar. During smoking,
he having heard previously of my politi
cal feeliDs, or teutiments, he spoke iu
J I

number of surplus prisoners

of the Uuited States. Then eusued the loDacco, to be on the other side oi tne

always on hand, viz : to see John Surratt.
Michael O'Laughlin any myself drove
out, occasionally, the horse liveried at
Mr. Nailor's stable. We drove always
(but once) in the city and Georgetown ;
the once excepted across the Eastern
Branch Bridge, when we went upward of
five miles, I suppose, aud returned. Thn
was the only time I ever went over the
bridge. How often J. Wilkes Booth
crossed I canuot state, but, from hi3 own
words, often. Thus was Michael O'
Laughlin's and my time spent for the
most part down at ltullman's Hotel
(now Sinclair House), on Pennsylvania
avenue and Louisiana avenue, in drink
ing aud amusements, with other Balti
moreans besides ourselves congregating
there, all of whom knew nothing of our
business but that of selling oil stock.
Oil stock was the blind . for them as well
as my family. During the latter part of
March, whilst standing on llullmau's
porch, between eleven andjwelve o'clock,
p. m., a young man name unknown, as
I cannot remember names about five
feet five or 6ix inches high, thick, set
long nose, sharp chin, wide cheeks, small
ejes (grej, I tbiqk,) dark hair, and well
dressed color I don't remember called
Michael O'Laughlin aside, and said J.
Wilkes Booth wished to see us both a
Gotier's saloon, on the aTenue. I was
for the first time introduced to him, but
forget his name. We walked up togeth

Tax on Building Associations.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has decided that building associations
loaning money on real estate are liable to
a special tax as bankers, as per section
79, paragraph 1, of Juno 30th, 1804,
which says : "Every person, firm, or
company having a place of business where
money is loaned or advanced upon bonds,
stocks, bullion, bills cf exchange, or
promissory notes, is regarded as a banker."
This comprehends the loaning of money
on real estate. As bankers, building as
sociations should also make a return each
month of the amoui.t of capital used, for
the tax , of one half of one quarter per
cent,, as approved in sectiou 119, act of
June 30th, 18G8.

is gaining ground. New houses are very
