Alas ! how cliangvd from the fair scene, When birds sang out their mellow lay, And winds were soft and woods were green, And the song ceased not with the day. Htil still wild music ia abroad, 1'ale, desert wood ! within your crowd; And gathering winds in hoarse accord Amid the Vocal reeds ipe loud.

I fear you must put off going to Brighton lor the present, unless you will go with the child ren without me. After ali, why should you not do that, and take the governess with you ?" Mrs. Sanderson raised her large handsome eyes to her husband's face, and stopped in the act of filling the breakfast cups. "What can you mean, Walter?" she said slow ly. "I do not quite understand. Why mu6t I go to Brighton without you?" "Because my dear, I must run down to Scotland instead. Mv mother wants me." "Oh vour mother !" and a slight cloud came calm face. over her usually She had not met disappointments in life as yet, and she with many her marriage had been looking forward tor some time to this visit to Brighton. "Y es : she writes that 6he would like me to go down as soon as I can. Is she or ,9" what? Does she mve no reastm "Well, no; 1 can't say she does; but I imagine somehow it is some something about Clare." "Clare ! I dare say it is. hat is she doing now? Of course, you know, Walter, that I never interfere in your private family concerns ; but in my opinion, you should strcnrrly advise your mother just to give her her own way. a very short time of nursing in an infirma ry would completely cure her of that whim. She is not at all the kind of girl for that sort of thing, brought up as she has been, every one yielding to her, and running wild all over your fathers estate followed by half a dozen dogs, and getting her own way in everything. I believe it would do her a great deal of good to go as a nurse to an infirmary." "I have no doubt you are right: but I am certain my mother wouhi never agree ti it Iet me see. This is Thursday. I could go down on Saturday, "and be back again by Wednesday morning early. That would give me three clear days there, and bring me home in time to take you to Brighton on Thurs day. That was the day you intend ed going, at any rate." And bo it was arranged. Mr. Sanderson traveled down to Scot land the following Saturday, in obe dience to his mother's summons. He had already decided that some new freak of his sister was at the bottom of the whole thing, and therefore, though annoying jto his mother, not likely to be at all diffi cult to manage. It all comes from girls being brought up at home. If they could go to public schools like boys, and get all the noneense taken out of them, it would be a thousand times better. A girl like Clare, living con- stanly home with her mother and governess, is sure to take the oil into her own keeping, and rule over everybody. I have half a mind to bring her back with me, and keep her until she talis in love with some one. 1 hat would oe me nest ionic for her restlessness," U'hon this Ion? railway tournev was ended, he found himself stand ing on the platform of the dreary little side station, being hugged and embraced in the most affectionate and open manner by his sister, a tall, handsome girl, who utterly disregarded the presence ol a coun try woman, who, setting down the largest of her many parcels and bundles, stood looking on with un disguised curiosity at this manifes tation of affection amongst tbe "quality." "You darling old boy I I'm st awfully glad to see you," said Clare. "It is too nice for you to run down and see us in this way. Come alonz. Mamma will be in a fever j until we get back again ; for I am driving Frisky and Bolter to-day. We'll be at home in no time-. Mam ma wished to send the carriage; but I would notiear of it Is your luggage all right? Oh, have you a six pence for the boy who has been holding their head-? Frightened little animal be looks, doesnl be? O, yes ; we are all well How are vou all, Georgia and the children ? Vou should have brought them with you. Why didn't you? How ever, it is too de'licious to have you all to ourselves." An unceasing flow of light-hearted affectionate talk convinced Mr. Sanderson that be had been doing his sister a great wrong in looking unon her as the cause of his hurried . n i t luurnev : and as ana as ne retraraeu uer sitting beside Dim so oroi arm ; hinnv alrivinor her mad little DO . ti !tK rav-klraneed od hill and .lown AU nvrvr stone- and round corners, making we -tea- moor ring with ber pealing laughter whenever they encounleretl a severer "burxiD" than usual, be almost felt a t 1 1 as if he must apologize to her for omer SOMERSET, having allowed such a thought to enter his mind. "Walter! I do believe you are not listening to me. You are think ing of Georgia and the children. I don't believe you heard what I said. I was eaying we must have long rides every day while vou are here. Shan't we?" "I fear, Clare, therec.m't betnany days of it. I nint be in London again car!' on Wednesday morn ing." "On Wednesday! I never thought of such an idea, Vhat in the ww-Id brought)', u down, if you cannot stay longer than that?" What in the world brought him down? that was just tli question he was asking himself. There was nothing wrong with Clare that was perfectly evident; not a hidden corner or thou-ltt, even in her cha meleon nature all was open ns the day. If it was only about ex p red leases and back rent, etc., it would have been as well if his rrotlier had written frank! v and alloyed him to judge if such a journey and los of tune were necenhary. But lie was careful enough to keep the?o thoughts to himself, judicial train-1 I - c ,, ' ing naving suecessiuuy over ome the natural frankness of his charac ter. He was saved the necessity of making any reply to her last speech by the sudden pulling up of the ponies at the hall door. i "Take care!" laughed Clare as she saw him almost overbalanced by the shortness of the jerk. "Ah! there's mother. Have I not brought him home in good time, mother? Just twenty-minutes from the sta tion and the ponies going like lambs. No, Walter ; I am not coming in at present ; I always drive them around to the stables myself;" and off she drove leaving her brother folded in the arms of his mother. "lam so glad to see you, dear Walter. I wad so thankful to get your letter this morning. It will be all right now you are come." And she led the way across the hall into the small room generally used by her and Clare when they were alone. "Has Clare said anything to you ? Dearbov! I am so anxious, that I can think oi nothing else. Uid Clare tell vou anything?" "Clare ! replied he. "Then it is Clare, after all! Is it some new whim?" "0, Walter, worse than any of her other whims. Siie says she is going to marry to marry a horrid man, a vulgar; low kin 1 of person!" "Whew! I ins is a new whim with a venneniicc! I thought she had forsworn uiatrimorv." ."0, don't mnke fun, Walter, it ia too serious, aud I am so ai xioua. The more I say to her about it the firmer she seems to be. I do not know what we are to do." "Who is the man? Tell me all about it and do Hot look so tragic, you dear old mater. At all events it is a step in the right direction. A married life is more in her line than a sisterhood would have been. But who is the man?" He is a cousin of Mr. Monkton, and a missionary in some miniiig village. Clare met him last year, when those revival meetings were going on. I find out row that it was he who put that nonsense into her head alwut joining a 'Sisterhood, and devoting her life to nursing, ete. He wa- down here lately, and I no ticed that a great many letters pasned between them after he left, but I never for a moment thought of anything further. And then, a few nights ago, she told me that she had quite given up all idea for in firmary work, for a much more use ful and extended life had been offer ed her. And then it turned out that when Mr. Moffat was down here he had got her to enter into a half-engagement with him." "0, only a halt engagement ! We can easily settle a half engagement. I'm thankful it ia no worse." "But it is worse! That was only at first. She told me he had given her a fortnight to make up her mind. Of course he is marrying her for her money. "We will let him know that she is almost entirely dependent on you and that you won't give her a farthing beyond the sum my father left her, if she marries without your consent That will bring rmn to reason, I'vo little doubt" "Yes; but the ditliculty will be with her; she' will not give him up. The worse and unsuitable such a marriage would be. the greater, I verily believe, will be its attraction for her. When will vou speak to her about this?" "I would rather that Clare should open the subject on her own accord to me. I will get her to come with me when I smoke my cigar after dinner, and see what I can make of her." On finding himself, after dinner, alone with his sister in the smoking room, Walter began to realize the difficulty of beginning a subject which she seemed to have no inten tion of introducing. "Clare," he suddenly began, "do you know vou arc improving very mucn oi laie .' i ou are ratner a good looking young person now. I am inclined to be proud ot you. Thank vou. Walter. Was 1 so very plain before?" she retorted saucily, with a light laugh. "No ; I do not mean that You were al ways handsome enough ; but some bow you strike tne as beins different this time. It may he your style of dressing, or the way you wear your hair ; but there is a de ference, I am certain. You had better come back with me for a lit tle. London is the place for a girl like you, and Georgia would enjoy taking you about Poor girl I she i lonely enough at time, now that I am no longer a briefless barrister. Will you come?" "You are a good old fellow, Wnl ter, and I love you dearly ; but I will not go to London with you. A London life would not suit me. But I believe vou when vou tell me I have improved, at any rate since vou saw me in autumn ; for I mas unhapnv and unsettled then." "About what, dear?" he asked in his gentlest tone. "Well you know I wished to be come a nurse; and mamma would s et ESTABLISHED, 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Jlt 18S2. not hear of it, and I was tired of the life I lead here." "Yes ; I don't wonder at that it is altogether to dull." ' O, no, not that! But it is so ut terly useless, aud there is eo much to be done and so much that ladies can do better than any one else." "But you aro not useless here. You have your Sunday class, and the choir to train, and your poor folks to look after. I think you aro wonderfully useful for so voung a BirL- - . "Yes; that is just it ; I am too young. I require guidance, Wal ter, and I cannot get it from mam- ; ma." 'Clare!" ; "I mean, that although mamma is as kind as possible to the poor, and gives them food and wine and clothes too, yet personally, she takes very JiUle interest in uietn, ana i cannot get her to come with me on my rounds. It : would be so much better if if she would, because, you sec, some of the people do not pay so much attention to me when I give them advice, just because I am young and have no one to support me." "I can imagine that it is difficult fur you, certainly. But is there no one'tlse you can get to join with von "Yes.Walte.r;1 and a faint blush A spread over her face, "and that is why I am so much improved, as you say at case : I am. Mv mind is quite for now I sec my duty quite clearly. 1 thought mamma would speak to you all about it to morrow ; hut 1 should like to tell you first, for she 'is very much against it, and I count upon your help to bring her around. I think it providential that you have come down here at this time, of your own accord, too ! I am engaged to be mar ried to a young gentleman who will be able lo help me, and who will take me to a place where there is far more need of mc ihan there is here ; for do you know, Walter, though I have been working hard with all my heart all these wont lis, I do not see oue bit of improvement amongst the people." "Engaged to be married, Clare! Who is the gentleman? You sly puss! And so it is 'first love' which has improved you?" ' O no, Walter. ,1 am not 'in love,' as yoa suppose; and neither is lie ; but we esteerr. and like each other; and we can do more for these poor people if we were married than U we were single. He says he needs a lady to hel p him." "But, who is he, dear? You have not told mc that." "He is a cousin of Mrs. Monk ton's, and is a very hardworking clergyman iu a large and neglected mining village. His name is Moffat He was here a good deal last year at the time ot the revival meetings, aud I got to-Lca-w him., then, but without any idea of marrying him ; that has only been arranged a few days ago." "You take away my breath, Clare. That is the very last kind cf mar riage I should have expected a girl like you to make." "Ah, because you thought me vain and frivilous. But, dear Wal ter, promise me that you will ttlk to my dear mother, and make her see what a noble and useful life is waiting for mc." "A noble and useful enough life, Clare. But before I can make any promise, I must think it over. I am not prepared to give my sister up to the nrst man that asks for her. Tell me about Mr. Moffat. What is he like? Is he young? And has he private means that he thinks of a wife like you ?" I do not, know wnetherhe is very rich or not; I never thought of ask ing him. But we should not want to bs very rich : because in the life we have planned, we should have no time for visiting or going much into society ; and you know, Walter, 1 have never been so fond of going to balls and parties as some girls are." "Well, Clare, I'll sleep on it, as the saying goes ; and to-morrow I will have a talk with you again. Be sure that I will do my best for your happiness. And now let us say good night." Next morning Clare came earl' in the breakfast room; but her brother evinced no corresponding activity; and when he did make his appearance the presence of her mother prevented all renewal of their last evening's conversa-j tion. Nor was any private inter view possible until far on in the af-j lei uuuil. "I thought mamma was never going to leave us alone to-day, Walter. And yet, how bad of me to talk in that wav ; for of course she is as glad to bo with you as I am. Poor mother." ' Yes, Clare poor mother: You arc preparing a bitter pill for her to swallow. How do you think she will like you burying yourself alive in a dirty, smoky mining village?" "0, then, dearest of old boys, you have come around to my way of thinking! I telt sure you would. You lead such a busy, useful life yourself that I knew vou would understand my feelings!" ' Stop a little, Clare. Not quite so fast. I certainly desire to see you happy, and I truly believe a well assorted marriage is the hap piest state oa earth, but ' "O. no but', Walter!" "You must hear me out Before I can speak to my mother with any effect 1 must see Mr. Moffat. How can I urge the advantages of a mar riage with a man I have never seen? Everything in, a case like this de fiends upon the individual himself. In a worldly point of view, it is a wretched marriage for you ; but there may be qualities and gifts in the man himself which outbalance all that, Jand make him more than your equal. Do you understand?" Clare murmured, "Yes," and her brother went on : "Now, I think it world never do to write and ask him to come here for my inspection. I have been studying my Bradshaw this morn ing, and I discover I can leave this by the eight o'clock train, and be at his place, Reckton, about, mid-day, spend an hour or two with him, and be back here by the evening train in time for dinner. What do you say to that ? Then I can talk with 6o;ne reason to ray mother ; or, perhaj. if I am greatly impressed, I may t ven bring him back with mc. Or stay ! supposo you como with me! Why not? I think that a splendid idea ! You would intro duce and smooth away any little awkwardness there might be in my going alone, and having to introduce myself. It would be a delightful surprise to him. What doyou say? Will you go .'" "How good you are Walter ! Of courso I'll go. It will be simply de lightful. But how about mamma?" "0, leave my mother to me ; I'll make it all right with her." Claro gave her brother's ami a grateful squeeze. "And Walter, we must send off a telegram from tho station to-morrow, and then they will be waiting at the station there for us." "No ; we will not telegraph, dear. In the first place, I don't want eve ry one here to know where we are going ; and then Mr. Moffat would be making all sorts of elaborate pre paragons tor us ; and neither nor I would like to irive him you anv trouble by our visit would we ? "No ; of course not. But he would like to give us a lunch, you know. However, as you say, the people would talk ;" and we can make up our minds just to take whatever his housekeeper can give us on short notice." And so the visit was thus arrang ed and carried out The morning tntin took them off, and in due time, after some changes and delays, landed them at Reckton ; a singu larly well named place, Walter thought, but refrained from Paying ; for he did not wish to prejudice his sister in any degree The line bright morning had been gradually becom ing more and more overcast, and had no. v fairly settled into one of those s.'ii'l, wet days which are to some temperaments peculiarly de pressing. Except the station mas ter and a boy, not a soul was to be seen ; : ;iy Ir.ungers that might oth erwise hav; been there being kept away by tl.o double event of a steady rain ar. l of its being the dinner hour. A creat many trucks filled with cml and coke, and others wait ing to I s filled ; a long lane which in reality seemed to have 'no turn ins : ' a wet. black, coalv road. stretching out dull and cheerless be tween very hih, stra?!ilin bare thorn-hedges, and a lowerin mist hanging over a large, irregular vil- lage, ci both t! may. "Asl: r-iplcted a scene which filled " Fncctatora with a silent dis- if this is Reckton, Walter; wc have made a mistake." pcrh ar Walter obeyed, ar.d carno back saying, "That village there at the end of the lane is Keckton. It is unfortunate that it lias turned such a wet day. Shall I send boy down to the inn and see if out the we caa get a cab or conveyance of some sort ?" "Yes, do, Walter, while I remain under the shed here." in a minute or two her brother came back with the intelligence that there was no cab or conveyance to be had. There had been a wed ding in the village a ;w nights be fore, and the only chaise it possess ed hud been nearly broken to pieces in the course -i" tho festivities. There was nothing to do but to walk, and the station-master directed them how to find Mr. Moffat's j day. housp, which was right in the mid- j Gcorgic remained mider the i in die of the village, two doors beyond j pression that her mother-in-law's the King's Arms. state of health required a change.

I :. - "-"' -s-T 11 IT at!-. - However, it seemed is if fate meant to be kind after all ; for on knock ing at the door of the house pointed out to them, a stout, severe looking person informed them that Mr. Mof fat was at home. "I'm not sure if he's down vet ; ' but just step in here," said she, opening as she spoke, a door on the left side of the little square passage ; he a mostly late on the Mondays' and ushered them into a room where breakfast was laid for one person. On a side table was lyingastrange mixture of books and pamphlet, pipes in great variety, tins of tobac co, match boxes and a dirty looking smokin;", cap, and on the floor a ja panned spittoon. Thewindo.v had evidently not been opened that day, and aa effluvium from last night's tobacco still pervaded every corner. A greasy arm-chair stood on one side of the fireplace, and near it a pair of walking-boots ready for their owner ; under the chair a pair of very much worn green-anu-white, Berlin work slippers. The servant never t'lought of asking their names, an omission which secretly pleased Walter very much, and she had left the door of the room in which they were, open, so they had the gratifi cation of hearing her go across the passage and up the narrow stairs, and knocking at a door apparently right over them. "You're wanted in the parlor," j said the severe-looking person. j "Who is it ?" came from a man's voice. ' "I dinna ken them," she replied, more than half-way down stairs, ev idently. Walter carefully avoided looking at his sister as a certain muffled thumping announced the approach of some one who evidently had no shoes on his feet ; but he furtively glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost one o'clock. And then the door was pushed open, and he eaw a short thick-set man, with a high and shining foreheao and general air of untidiness, enter, and suddenly stand as if petrified. A few desperately awkward seconds passed. raid At length Walter came forward, "We must apologize for invading your premises in this manner Mr. Moffat Clare introduce me." Clare contrived to mutter a few words, and Walter held out his hand, which he felt was by no means cordially grasped by his host ; but he continued : "My sister and I on ly thought of this little visit late last night, and so we couldn't let you know of it" Clare and Mr. Moffat had silently got through the ceremony of shak ing hands by this time, and the girl, nearly upset by the whole raorn in's experience, was glad to take the nearest chair, which happened to be the arm chair under which Mr. Moffat's slipper's were lying, so that that unfortunate man as if to put and keep him at a still greater disad vantage was forced to entertain his unexpected guests with no other coverin to his larare and badlv ; s"lia:ed feet than that afforded by 'cocrse homespun stockings. In vain Walter essayed his most gonial manner; nothing could mske the visit other than a wretchedly awkward one. Clare seemed unable i to utter a sylable, and averted her 1 eyes carefully from the mln's un- slippered feet and unshaven face. At length, Eeeing that her powers of endurance were being tried to the uttermost by various unhappy at tempts on Mr. Moffat's part to as sume tho tone of an accepted lover, Walter suggested that they should leave Mr.Moffat to eathis breakfast in peace, while they would go back to the inn for the lunch which must be awaiting them, and invited Mr. Mof fat to join them there as 60on as was convenient for him, and spend the rest of the time with them until the train was due by which they were to return. On getting out into the street, Clare convulsively clasped her brother's arm. "Walter, could we not get a train sooner than three o'clock ?'' "I a:a afraid not. But do you know it is almost two o'clock, now? the time will soon pass. It i this wretched weather that makes every thing look so miserable," Clare shivered, and wished she were away. On reaching the inn they found their lunch waiting for them ; but the chops were tough and had been burned in the process of cooking, and Clare at least found it impossi sihle to eat A large party of con vivial miners were in the next room, which was only separated from theirs by a thin wooden partition, and thev had the benefit of the jokes-, oaths and squabbles that pass ed between them. Mr. Monat was some time in making his appear ance ; ',ut when he did, he was much nore presentable, more like the n.an Clare had seen and believ ed in, at her own home. But his shaven face and correct clerical cos- : tariig came too late, and he was sen- ! sioio enough to see the matter in its true light Nothing could re-establish him again on the pinnacle to which Clare, in her uncurbed imagi nation and secret love of excite- Jmcnt under any form, had raised j him. On getting home Walter explain ed to his mother that she had no longer anything to fear , and next day wrote to Mr. Moffat bv his sis ter's desire, breaking off all further connection, and then telegraphed to his wife to expect him and his ; mother and his sister tho following Not even to her did Walter ever di- vulge the severe practical lessons to which he bad subjected his sister ; not even, when ho had the gratifica tion of seeing her make a suitable and happy marriage within a year or two from the time when her self- , will and self-ignorance had so near ily wrecked her lift- CVam&cr'Jor- we ! nnl.

WHOLE NO. 1592. A SENATOR'S SUCCESS. A Pen Sketch of Senator Camrron'a Senatorial Career. The following article is from the pen of J. V. Cracraft, the Washing ton correspondent of the Pittsburg Telegraph : The man that stands pre-eminent to-day at the seat of Government as the leader of the Republican par ty is James Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania. While Conkling re mained in the Senate he bore tbe Ealm alone, with no one to dispute is title of supremacy. As an ora tor he was unequaled ; as a debater he had few if any successful rivals ; for political sagacity and audacity he was a marvel of" the petty men who blindly followed him. and who regarded him with much the rever ence due a superior being. Bui in an unfortunate moment he cast away the toga and stepped aside to enter the walks of private life. It is foreign to the present purpose to dis cuss the causes that led to the sudden abdication of the great Senatorial leader or to deter mine the wisdom or folly of his course. Suffice it to say that he retired from the arena when he had won renown and intrenched himself in power and left to c-Xhers the direction of the affairs he had had in hand. In the ranks was a young man young in years and young in experience in legislative assemblies, though not in practical politics. Moreover, this young man was no orator as 'Brutus is.' His for mer life had been spent in the hum drum of business allairs in - bank ing, manufacturing and railroading and not in the forum where states men and scholara cross swords in debate. But he brought to his new field of labor and of usefulness a sav ing common sense, a knowledge of anairs and a practical bent of mind that peculiarly fitted him for his position, though lacking in what has always been regarded as the es sential element of Senator and legis lator oratory. All the great lead ers of the Senate in ancient and modern times, from Cicero and Cx ear down to Clay and. Conkling, were eminent for their eloquence, and this makes the success of Cam eron in forgeing to the front in the fourth year of his service in the Senate ail the more remarkable. William A. Wallace, " ho lor a time was Cameron's colk. ,;ue, distin guished himself in the Senate and was a power when he left it : t the expiration of his term - but ; took Senator Wallace six yea - to estab lish himself in the confince of his associates in the Senate, eo that they gave ear and accorded weight to his counsels and placed him in positions of commanding influence. The career of Senator Wallace is cited as an unusually brilliant o:ie, and friend and foe, alike cor.ctde him the tru mee f praise both on account of his ability as an orator and his capacity as a leader. But considering, first, that Cameron lacks eloquent expression, which has always been regarded as a pre requisite to brilliant success in the Senate, and second-that hi term of service embraces but four years all told in any legislative body (while Wallace was for four years the lead er of his party in the Senate of Penn sylvania;, his success is more mark ed and his career more remarkable 1 ban that of his former colleague, or in fact than that of any man who ever represented Pennsylvania in the higeer branch of the national councils. To say that in a shorter time Cameron has excelled Wallace in acquiring power and exerting in fluence in the legislative department of the Government, is no mean com pliment, as everybody acquainted with the rapid rise of the latter from the back benches to which he was at first remanded upon his entrance, by Senatorial courtesy and custom, to the front seat he occupied at the end ; of his term. The very circumstance that Cam ! eron is not an orator has strengthen I cd bim with his Senatorial associates. Great orators like Conkling and Blaine in the heat of debate and for political effect are apt to make bitter speeches, which grate harshly on the ears and arouse bitter feeling in the minds of their party opponents. Cameron has made no enemies in this way, for he has indulged in no vituperation against the South or her representatives, or gasconade of any sort to gain the plaudits of the galleries. On the contrary his intercourse with his fellow Senators has always been marked with a de gree of urbanity and nuxiler inmodo that could have no other result than to make him fact and devoted friends. He was particularly fortu nate at the beginning of his term in securing the favor of tbe Southern Senators by his vote for the admis sion oi General Butler, of South Carolina, who was justly entitled to his seat Cameron's course in voting to admit Butler has been attributed to a desire to repay an obligation of his father to an uncle of General Butler, but whether this was the motive or the action was taken on the higher ground of right and jus tice, the result was the same, and it not only secured for him the favor of Butler, but besides of a number of his Southern colleagues who were disposed to regard the act as an evi dence of a liberal and Catholic spirit Cameron has taken every occasion to improve upon this favorable im pression, and the consequence is that to-day he has a stronger hold on the ex-Confederates in the Sen.ue than almost any Northern man, Democrat or Republican. Sp much for his personal hold upon tbe leading Democrats in the benate. lib his own party asso ciates in the Senate no man ever had greater weight in the caucus or the council. His opinion is sought on every question of moment and in such matters as the Independent uprising in Yirsrinia he is usually recognized as a leader and frequent ly as tbe chief in command. There is no question on the part of any body here of the fact that he did more than any man in the country to make Mahone's movement a suc cess. In fact the very first confer ence held between Mabone and any Northern man with Caaeroa at .the j latter'n country place in Pennsylva ; nia over a year ago, and when it was ! a matter of doubt and discussion in the public press as to which of the great politic tl parties Mahone would act upon his entrance to the Senate to which he had been previously elected. The most notable exhibition of Cameron's power, however, that bis yet been givea was in the contest for Speaker upon the organization of the Fort)'-Seventh Congress. Until Cameron took hold of Keifer he wa a bad third in the race, and in many quarters his pretentions were but the subject of ridicule and derision. Hiscock's election was regarded as morally certain on the Thursday night beforethe meeting of ConsrrerS. That night and the next day Cam eron openly avowed himself fr Keifer and set to work to secure his success. In twenty-four hours the whole situation was changed, ard on Friday night everybody was will ing to concede that Keifer was the coming man and that he owed the favorable turn of affairs to the change of front on tho part of the Pennsylvania delegation. Cameron took good care to garner the fruits of victory and to see that his State was properly taken care of in the assignments of members to commit tees. The result i that Pennsylva nia fares better than any other State and even letter than when her own sons occupied the Speaker's chair. She has seven committee chairman ships, including the important ones of Ways and Means, Postoffices and Post Roads, Public Buildings and Grounds, Coinage, Weights and Measures ; two additional represen tatives on the Ways and Meacs, making three in all to look after her great manufacturing and industrial interests ; and a representative cn such important committees as Ap propriations and Commerce. All this powerful leverage to move the wheels of legislation iu tbe direction that Pennsylvania and Pennsylva nians desire them to go, has been furnished through the masterly po litical ability of Senator Cameron. With the present Administration he is equally powerful, as late appoint ments have indicated and as future ones will emphasize. In view of the above facts, it would seem about time that the petty disparagement of Senator Cameron's influence and service to the State should cease. I have no interest in the matbr whatever, am under no manner uf obligation to Cameron, have no per sonal or political favor to ask at his hands, and have only undertaken to meet some of the misrepresentitior.s current about his standing and in fluence in the Senate and at Wash ington simply for the truth of his tory. ST. rETERSBURTS LETTER. Frrna Oar Special Correspondent. Considerable interest was excited in the Russian capital a short tire ago by a curious case tried before the chief magistrate of the eighth police district both plaintiff and de fendant being persons well known in the upper circles of St PKersbur society. The former, Michael Gues dinski, a noble by birth, i a fash ioable dancing master, patronize ! by the Court and aristocracy ; the latter, Captain de Brerenski", a staff officer uf the Imperial Guard " it appears that Gnesdinski had givtii twenty dancing lessons, at the rate of two roubles per lesson his regu lar charge to the Captain's youth ful daughter, and had applied re peatedly for payment of his bill, but in vain. One evening he called upon t Brerenski in peraon to collect his torty roubles, and was shown into a dinning room, where the gallant guardsman, whose speech and de meanor exhibited unmistakable symptoms of vinous excitemer.s, greeted him with affectionate jovili ty, and, in reply to Guesdinski's re spectful request for a sentlement of account, declared himself ready and willing to pay up on the spot, to the last copeck, upon one trifling condi tion that his creditor should there and then dance the "Kamarinski," for his Brerenski special and particular delectation. Thi3 the terpsichorean professor steadfastly refused to do ; whereupon Breren ski's cheerfulness incontinently for sook him, and, summoning his ser vants, he commanded them to "throw the dancing dog into the street" They lulfilled his orders to the letter. Charged with the assault, Captain tie Brerenski attempted to excuse his conduct on the ground th8t he had intended to pav Gren- sdinski a compliment in asking him to dance, and on his abrupt refusal to comply with his request, had been moved by natural indignation to throw him out of doors. The Court, however, failing to recognize the force of this argument sentenc ed Captain de Brerenski to suffer three days imprisonment, and to pay the outraged dancing-master's claim in fulL Report- having reached tht Gov ernor of Poltova that the nuns of Welikobud were stirring up the Senkoff peasantry against the Sani tary Commission visiting that dis trict, they are denouncing the Com missioners as imps of Satan, and their disinfectant procedures as sor cery inspired of the foul fiend, his Excellency dispatched an official in high authority, accompanied by a strong police force, to the convent in question with orders to "bring the seditious sisters to their enses." When the official arrived at the con vent, high mass was being celebrat ed. He awaited the conclusion of the ceremonies in the church, and then, as the congregation were pre paring to leave, he addressed them in energetic language, representing to them that the Sanitary Commis sion had been sent to them for their good, and that the nuns in denounc ing it as a work of the devil, had greatly imposed upon their creduli ty. "To prove," he added, "how utterly unfounded are these wicked allegations, I shall proceed forth with to disinfect this church and convent" He had hardly spoken these words, when a tumult broke out among the nuns, some of whom ilAl.l 1. 1 , A V i f,-,ir-,rin uiuaiacu uiiu . iiu u iuvii whilst others rushed to the belfry and rang a furious alarm pcaL Soon a number of peasant women, arm ed with brooms, fire-irons and hay forks, appeared upon the scene and set upon the policemen with such fe rocity that the latter were compelled in sheer self-defence, to make use of their side arms.
