hV A SOrTBElur DIXJfY-CBaT.
Down In Oaleny, lllinoy. a little one-boss town.
There lived a tanner, 'fore tbe wah tha derndest
luckiest boon !
Why, when tbe mass twlxt North and South first
- settled dowa to blows,
Uliname and ball-dog. pbix warnt know tea
tiles from bam I 'ipcee .
Now, we'oni had some ginerals what fit la Mex
ico. And then tbe Yankee, bragged oo Sums, what
. mads a gorgeous show. r
Tbea "Little Mack" was all the rage, and It were
fun to sea
Bow he could sling nil army round, and keep trout
hnrtlng we !
And bold Fits John, bis sea of trumps, that
v wouldn't strike a lick
Oaless 'twould help MoCiellan's fame ws thought
ha was a brick !
And Duel I, too It did beat all what marching he
eonld da,
And not ketch up with Bragg till he got where he
wanted to !
He didn't want to hurt the South" 'twan'i what
he come here ton," ,
He ussd to say ; and Bragg, you know, was Bacll's
brother'n-law !
Well, things went an as beautiful as Southern
(blks could wait.
Till one day come a telegram about one O intra'
Grant,
Nobody seemed to know tbe chap, sod there was
ml-hiy few
That ever bee red his name afore they heerd his
doings too!
Yos know how, down at Dne'ison we built a stiv
lng fort,
we planted guns to atop tbe boats, aad then laid
low for sport.
When, tearing through the tangled woods the
Western boys appeared.
You bet we Southern Uitnmicrats were pretty
badly skecred !
While we wis shaking in our shoes, Ilk panic
stricken Turks,
'Twai that Oaleny tanner. Grant, that "moved
upon our works !n
So thbus went on till Shiljh there we thought
we had 'em foul.
Wo waded in at break of day, and font 'em cheek
byjiwl;
And when we thought we'd got em licked, and
drove Into the river,
That pesky Grant, upon his boss, we happened to
uuklvcr.
A rallying em to charge ns back the stupid,
mery cuss.
He dldn t know that he was licked, bnt turned
and wallop-d as .'
Then, when old Icksburgh caved at last, where
we bad mote a plant.
imrneil ef I ever see such luck! 'Twas taken too
by Grant !
And so the long "onpleiantnes" drag on from
year to year.
And we-nns kinder gathered heart, and hoped
success was near ;
vteuiougnt the isorth about played out, our
fighting nearly done.
And planned to bang old Linkio when wv captur
ed Washington.
One day the news came o'er the wires the Fed
had changed their p'an : '
They'd found, at last, 'twas la the' East they'd
want their blicgest man ;
Bo Linkin whistled Grant o3 East to tackle Oln-
eral Lee.
wnoop: now look out fjr fun." we said : "he'll
hark np tbe wrong tree ;
"Grant was a game old bull-dog. fkaf we couldn't
well deny ;
"Bat let him bounce oar lion, and you'll hoar bim
sing (.(.'"
Lord ! how we watched to hear the news, and how
: wed all prepare:. - .
To whoop ap shouts of victory, then change our
tan and swear!
For, dog my eats, ef that okl Grant that ballet-
beaded tanner
DidateonpLseln Rich mood In the most provok
lng manner!
And. Somehow, fetched K round at but rm blest
If I know how
To lick oat Lea, and end the war ! Twas alt pare
lack, I rwnw !
Well, arter thai, they patched op peace; old Lin
kin got h'sdoe.
And that snored Aady Johnson np Into his vacant
pew; .
And things went swimmingly tor as; the South
was then In clover.
"sr goose nnng mignty nigh once more we
thought oar troubles over ;
We nominated Seymour, and bcaran aa-aln te
rant
About State Rights. And then, I'll swar, they
'lected Glneral Grant !
W ell, we lay quiet eight long years, in hopes that
time would tarn.
Till Hayes was lectel pros , the we didn't care
a darn
He didn't know oar style, bnt kinder sorter left
stree
To ran thingsonrowa fashion ; that Is, kicked np
deviltry.
And now, when shot-gun rale has come, and Dluv
myerata can reign.
They talk of running Glneral Grant for President
again 1
And, jest is sure as June comes 'round, with the
help of "boy. In blue."
Thetl nominate that lucky enss, and they'll elect
him too!

March morning, a young man eat
behind tbe counter of a thriving
jewelry establishment ia one of the
Northern cities. He was a hand
seme man, a traveler, a man ot taste,
intellect and money, for he was a
junior partner in tbe firm, wbicb was
a prosperous one. Bat despite all
bia good fortune, Rosa Dunbar was
not happy. His mother and his
little Flora had gone to their long
home, and be was utterly alone,
without kith or kin ia the wide
world.
Uitting alone one morning with
the roar of tbe March winds in bis
ears bis thoughts were running back
to tbe days of bis boyhood, to bia
mother's bumble home. How vivid
tbe past seemed, and bow dear and
sacred, despite ita privations and
sorrows. His eyes grew dim and
bis heart swelled. All were gone
over tbe wide waters of time and
change.
A tender smile softened bis sad
face as be recalled tbe stormy night
when be sa. sobbing on the steps of
Mr. F nun y's mansion. And little
Pansie; tbe remembrance of ber
sa eet lace, as be saw it through tbe
enowy wreaths, haunted him con
atantiy. in all tbe htieen years
never bad be for one boar forgotten
ber. But she was gone lost to bim
forever.
His reverie was broken by the en
trauce of a customer, a lady closely
clothed and veiled. She approached
tbe counter with a jewel case in her
band.
"Would yoa buy these?'1 sbe ask
ed, simply, ia a clear sweet voice that
stirred tbe young man's heart as no
other woman's voice bad pjwer to
do
He took tbe casket, opeoed it, aod
spread out its cooien'.s. A watcb, an
elegant and costly diamond nag, two
rubies and an emerald necklace. Ross
Ouubir barely suppressed a cry of
surprise as bia eyes fell upon it He
turned it over with eager, trembling
angers and there on tbe clasp was
tbe name tbat had lived in bis heart
for so maov years. "Little Pansie."
"Yoa wish to sell them all ?" he
aeked, striving to steady bis voice
and the wild throbbing ot bia excited
heart. '
The lady hesitated an instant and
then she put -her Blender band and
drew tbe precious emerald toward
ber.
"I dislike to part with this," sbe
said ; "it was my father's gift and
and but no matter, take them a!';
I must have tbe money, for a special
purpose." ,

Tbe girl flashed a dazzling glance
of surprise from beneath ber heavy

"So much as tbat?" sbe said,
tremulounly. "Yoa are very kiod,

The young man made a polite re-

PABia LEFT Eat.
(From our regular corretpou'leut)
Paris, Mar. 9, 18S0
A few days ago tbe Russian Era
bssvy informed tbe prefect of police
that tbe man who had attempted to
wreck the Czar's train at Moscjw
was staving in Paris. This man
whose name ia Hartmaua, was indeed
living at a hotel in tbe Rae de Seine,
and. aa ever since bis flight from
Russia, be had kept np constant com'
muaication with , his friends ia that
country, tbe Muscovite police had lit'
tie difficulty in tracing him to his
quarters.
M. Andneox, unwilling to seem to
hesitate in tbe fulfillment of the re
quest of the Russian Embassador,
immediatelv directed tbat Uartmaua
should be arrested, and his order
were carried oat last Monday after
noon ia tbe Cbamps Elysees, as the
fellow was walkiog about with four
of bis friends. Tbev all offered a des
perate resistance ; blown were freely
exchanged, but finally the Nihilist
was captured, and in the confuiion
that followed bia allies effected their
escape.
The man, first of all, said that his
nme waa M-jer, aid tbat he was a
Prussian, then that be was a owus,
but there does not seem to be tbe
slightest d jabt aa to his ideality. It
is be. wbo, with bis mistress, rented
and occupied the house where the
electric apparatus was found that
commuuicaied by means of a wire
with tbe explosive material that
wrecked tbe traia wbicb, by a siogo
lar accident, preceded instead of tol
lowing tbat cf tbe Czar.
Without attaching undae import
ance to tbe arrest made ia Paris oa
the very eve of the crime at the Win
ter Palace ia St Petersburg, it is, to
say the least, siogalar that some pre
paratory inkling it the conspiracy
seems to have reached this place.
Within tbe past two or three weeks
it has been said by men wbo are not
in the babil of speaking lightly that
before tbe fetes of March the Etnpe
ror would either bave given a consti
tution or would bave been assaasina
ted. We then heard that no meas
urea of elemenev would mark tbe
anniversary, and this announcement
was quickly followed by the news of
tbe deliberate atterrpt oa tbe Impen
al familv.
We now bear nothing bat ramors
of tbe probable abdication of tbe
Czar. 1 c is assured tbat the Em
press cannot livelong, and that when
sbe dies tbe Czir will take the oppor
tuoity of resigning, oa the plea tbat
be must give way to bis private grief.
1 am DouBd to say tbat all the best
informed Uu-siaus scout these ideas
as absurd. A Russian official eatd to
me last night: '
bv, tbe Emperor would not ab
dlcate tied iu bis tomb "
If it ia so difficult to believe ia the
possibility of tbe Emperor's abdica-
ti io, it is still less easy to bave faiib
io tbeefflcicr of a c institution in a
country like Russia, where there ia
no middle class and where the ma
chinery of representation is wanting.
Tbe actual agents of tbe recent crimes
are, for tbe most part, educated meo,
while it is manifest tbat ia tbe official
c' 8888 ia fonnd great discontent.
A keen observer, who was in the
Italian campaign in 1859, and who
then noticed that while the higher
and educated ranks looked on tbe
French as liberators, the common
people scarcely concealed their sym
pathy for the Anstriaa oppressors,
remarked to me last night tbat a like
phenomenon was to be observed in
Russia at tbe present moment.
It now seems clear that a former
attempt to mine tha Winter Palace
waa diecovered early ia this month
at St Petersburg, bat the police kepi
their information secret, tor fear of
disturbing the Fmperor. Observing
tbat General Todleben declared that
a little more dynamite would have
destroyed tbe Winter Palace, I may
mention an observation made by a
French military friend last night
He inferred tbat no engineer officer
could bave been concerned in tbe af
fair, for be would bave better dispos
ed bis combustible material. Ubd
the quantity employed been other
wise used, tbe whole palace mast
have fallen to tbe ground.
It is needless to explain the plan
wbicb my French friend would, oa
der analogous circumstances, bave
adopted. C A. S
A Marriage tmr Mmmay.
Ia New Fork City a princely
maneiou was offered for sale a few
years ago, about which hang a sad
story. A man ot enormous wealth
lived to the age of sixtr without
marryiog; then he proposed to a
beautiful, brilliant yonng girl, wb
belonged to a large but poor family.
Sbe hesitated long before accepting
bim; bis habits, morals, person, were
all obnoxiou to her, for sbe was a
giil ot pure, refined taste.
B a; to be tbe wife of a millionaire,
to go to Europe, to reign likd a queen
in the city where she bad lived oa
tbe income of a servant these were
temptations too strong for her, as they
are for too many American womeo.
Sbe married bim without a bit ot
love or res pec; sold ber self as ab
solutely for mouy as ever slave was
sold.
Her hosbaod paid for bis purchase.
Before tbe marriage he built a mag
nificent dwelling; arcbiteeture, sculp
tare, painting, gave of tbeir best ta
to make n fit for the home of a royal
lady; there waa a Chinese room, a
Pereian room, a Hindoo room; there
were conservatories, picture galiarriee
daioty boudoirs Tbe plan wa' tbat
bride should spend one winter in this
regal home, and in the spring go to
Eorope for a twoyear's visit;
Two weeks after tbs wedding, tha
bridegroom was struck down with
paralysis, and for Slieen years lay oa
bis bed a helpless, quarruiooa ia valid
nursed by kia wite. Tha mansion
wee closed excelling in the siek man's
apartments, and leaembled a gigantic
