THE TIXKS Its Home Clreolatlon. Courtesy demands that we make our ac knowledgments to the patrons of The Times for their increased and continued conBdence in its management. The only substantial evidence of the pub lic's estimate of the value of a newspatier is the number of it subscribers and the amount of advertising jiatninage given to it Our columns bear the strongest evidence of the high appreciation advertiser have for The Times. Inadvertently we contracted for more ad vertisement in the Weekly than we wanted. We intend to reduce the aderti-ing face and give more reading matter as i-oon a tome of the contract.'' expire. While we knew that our circulation wan greatly in excess of that of any other Jiaicr in Leavenworth, yet for the Iwnefit of others who might de-fire the advantages of adver tising wilh the largest circulation, and in fir tier that ouradvertiaing patron might have undisputed proof of the same, we sent out i irculars to the various ost masters through out the county and place iuimeiliately tribu tary to Leavenworth, anil from them we get Wlilicates of the exact circulation of TllE TlHEX, Commerciul and liullrttn. We publish ihe-e returns as lar as received, and to our own astonishment Ihe emulation of ThkTimo i in the ratio of ten TlMKx to oneofall other iaxr printed in the city. This is evidence-of the nijirl whichTlli: Times get at home. We .ue l id to assure our patrons thai thecirciil.ition o our juer throughout the State i largely in excess of any other paier. Of course, :n the iiiinie diate'vicinity of local paiiers, there are in Ktance where hiicIi jajier hive more sule seribers. For fifteen year this pajie-r has laaintained 'Is Kition, and to-djy, we are happy to assure all that The Times, since we assumed the ownership and management of it, has never had a wider circulation, was never more proierons, and, we hojie, never more acceptable to it reader and advertis ing patron, than at this date. THE CHICAGO CHURCH TKOfttl.EA. The temjiorary lull in the difficulty be iween the Kector and Vitry of Christ Epis copal Church on the one hand, and the bihopofths Diocese on the other, which many hoped would be the end of the public scandal, has been succeeded by a new and more threatening outburst. ISidiop White liouse has written a lengthy and elaborate reply to the last letter of I he warden, in which he virtually declares the trace ended, nnd announce that henceforth his official authority will I), invoked regardless of the defiance of the recalcitrant church. The .liishop make the following points: The upshot of the frequent correspondence be iween himself and the wardens was an agree jnent, which lie Kys -was plainly an J une quivocally stalol, that he eliould make his official visitation of Christ Church on the 30th of September, at which time Mr. Che ney should le absent from the city, or at least from the Church, and the candidates for confirmation should be presented by Ilev. Dr. Kelley.a the Bishop amid in no case recognize M r. Cheney as a minister of the Church. But subsequently the wardens no tified him that Mr. Cheney, and he only, shall officiate nt such visitation. The Bish op now plainly states that he hall neither refrain from hi duty of visitation, which is not dependent on the will of the congregation in any res)ect, "nor in any way sanction the presence or interference of Mr.Cheney,shouId you or he iersit in so Unities an assimila tion." He reminds them that on the occasion of visitation the Bishop disposes ot the services at hi pleasure; " that a formal presentation of the candidates is not a rubrical obligation, but merely a convenient form recommended by himself," and that " welcome or unwel come the Bishop iiiu-t visit his churches, and the congregations must receive him." The result, therefore, seems to be this: that on Sunday, the lOih of September, Bishop Whitehiiuse will enter Christ Church :md proceed to confirm the candidates pre--enting themselves; that if Mr. Cheney is present he will lie entirely ignored, and that if any interference is attempted the civil jmwer will lie appealed to. Xext Sunday will thereupon l a crisis in this long fought war, and the result will lie awaited with the deejiest interest. Our smpalhies are wholly with Mr. Cheney. He is a man, while the i.ishop is the mere form of a man without the soul. HOW T1I1.Y TALK. Atchison, Kan.. Aug. 81. The Chicago A. Southwestern Railway was finished to-day, and constitute a through line from Chicago to Atchison and Leavenworth. .4ociafcti Iclegmph I'm I2fpurt. We publish the alxivea a sjiecitnen of the truthfulness of the editorials in the Atchison Champion and of the falsehoods contained in the telegraphic disiialches from Atchison. The editors under the regulations of the As sociated l'ress hnve control and the making up of these dispatches, John A. Martin is the only member of the Association in Atchison. Of course evetvbody knows that there is no railroad belonging to the C. & S. W. finished to Atchison. Nothing is done on the thirty miles of the contemplated branch road, ex cept the sticking of the stakes. If anything is gained by such a bald faced eourse, we fail to ree it. The road is finished from Chicago to Leavenworth. We hope it will be finished to Atchison also, at an early day. This is like the lx'rforinanee of an egotis tical Atchison editor, who delivered a lecture in Toieka on the "Fight above the Clouds," which on examination proved to be very similar, indeed in the exact language Used by the celebrated IS. F. Tayor in hi description of the same fight. This is only another evidence that an editor should alas tell -the truth and never commit plagiarism. 1I:ARM AM PEM'HMi. "We have a reputation for trathtelling, which we prize highlv. It is therefore with hesitation we attempt a description of the peaches and pears left with us by J. C. Baird, Esq., of Easlon. The pears were BartleltV. The peaches were Druid Hills and Slorris Whites. They were brought in a common market basket, which was full, rounded up. We counted them out, and there were two pears and eighteen peaches in all. We don't propose to compromise our reputation for veracity by giving a statement of their size. The Bartlett and Slorris Whites are unex celled. J. C. Baird is the proprietor of one af the best nurseries in the county, and if bis tfjes will grow such fruit as the samples received, he will take the premium over the famous Genesee Valley nurseries. isc-KEANE or rwrcxAries. c Tue following lable shows llie rapid in jrcrease of our number since the first ivnuit wis taken: In 1870 3s.SU, 983 We predict a population of 50,000,000 in the United States in the jear 1880. ?

Editors: The short item on the game law in this evening's Exprtu, in duces me to nine my voice in favor of pro tecting that innocent and very useful little animal, the skunk. There are many ways fa which this animal makes itself useful to farmers for six months of the year, it is worth to the farmer on whose premises it makes its home, as much as an ordmaryla borer at 20 per month and board. They do the work bv night, a female with a fami ly o. young walking through a field of com, potatoes, or anv root crop, will soon clear it of bugs, worm and beetle. Tbey are useful in torture and meadows, but the place where they are eqiecially useful is in the hop field. The gray grub that is destructive in the po tato crop i more so in the hop yard. This grub or short gray worm about one and-a-half inches long, abound in the hop yard and work ju:t under the surface of the root or where the vine is joined to the bed root, the hon nlanter has found it necessary to have every hill carefully examined and the grub ucsiroyeu. ii me sicunK is proiecieu anu si lowed to do this work, it is done better and more thorough than any man can doit, They take out and destroy the grab without injury to the lull ot hoi; it is so in me veg etable garden, no injury is ever done by them, but much good.

The children of Leavenworth are unmis takably dissatisfied with the one session a day plan adopted by the School Ifciard, tonlay tried for the first time. The schools for small children now open at it a. ui., with one recess of five minutes, and one recess of fifteen minutes. As we learn from the children, the fifteen-minute recens is for luncheon, but no play or whis liering is permitted. We had supposed that children from C t 10 years of age, ought to have some recreation, and if it be true that such strict rules have been laid down, would it not be well to relax them a trifle, and permit the tender plants to romp and play? The common school is the pride of our land, and broad, plain, common sense rales ought to 1 adopted; such rales as will give the chiM the greatest freedom from restraint, consis'ent with good order and discipline. The school and the play ground ol our public echool is the place where the chil dren of the rich and the poor meet on the same level. There all distinctions are all laid aide. Therefore, let the regulations be as democratic as possible. Again it seems to us that no child should lie compelled to sit four long hours with only fifteen minutes recess. Again, a child needs food oftener than a grown ierson. We would suggest that the schools for small children (and we are writing only for them) open at i a. ui., with a recess of five minutes every half hour; a recess of fifteen minutes at 10J a. ni., close at noon. Open at 1 p. m., with recess every half hour, with one recess of fiflien minutes in the afternoon session. Give the children a chance to be children. We know some of the lest public schools in Xew York, and never knew one to adopt the one session plan. We trust our School Board will reconsider their action. Frc.n consultation with some of the Board, we are satisfied all did not approve of the present plan, and thai it was adopted without due consideration. THE UKE.lTt.NT UiiOIIIiHT VET. A corresiMHident of the Troy Time says that up in Vermont there have been no heavy rains in more than a jear. The snow-fall in the wintir was so light that the streams were quite low in the spring. The country is not parched, because the season was not hot. But the hay crop in the whole State is very light, nnd the pasturage is now failing. Cows lne fallen in price very de cidedly, for they are jKKir projierly to hold when you cannot get fodder and water for them; hay at $30 is dear, in the haying sea son; and farmers do not like to drive their cows three or more miles to Lake Chaniplain or some other IkxK of water to drink. Per haps the drout'i in the Eaaiern States and the short hay c j may neutralize the ten dency to excessive dairy production, and put off for a Feaon or two a -great decline in but ter and cheese. But if such a .-esult should be achieved, it would be no advantage to any one; the consumer, however, would have to sh-irc the loss with the farmer. HOME ISDCHTRr. We have received an anonymous commu nication on home industry, which we respect fully decline to publish. The author claims to lie a iatron of The Times. If he is or is not, make no difference. Any one who can write so good an article need not be ashamed of tiwng his name. Wc always want to know the author's name Iiefore we even read hi communica tion. We generally throw anonymous letters in the waste basket without even reading them. THE O.UEKM IX BASflEB. Who would care to be Queen of England? Who would rule that unruly and" scandal hatching race, the British? The latest gos sip concerning royalty doesn't, it Ls true, ac cuse her of maintaining improper relations with her footman; but it is averred that she has become an alwolute micr, and has fears of coming speedily to the alms-house. Her servants' table, it i added, is so miserably spread that the royal retainers are in danger of starvation. The same thing was said long ago cf her poor old grandfather's and grand mother's housekeeping. 3IOiy. SCHOOL WEEDED. The St. Louis .Democrat Ls very poorly posted in the geography of the country the division and sub-divisions "of North America. Its latest mistake consists in lo cating Big Cabin in the Osage, instead of the Cherokee Country. Big Cabin Is on Cabin Creek, almost directly south of Chetopa, Labette County, Kansas. The Democrat will never succeed in civilizing the haughty aborigines with such geographical attain ments as that. caL. xeoxueiiT Wa. we are told, in town this week. workiBK up endorsements for himself for Register of the Land Office.

J. SLA. CUMI.Mi TO LIGHT. Million or IHllnr In fireenbitckM Stolen In IMS. The stKiuishii) Golden Kule was wrecked on Slav 30, 1S65, on ltancador Beef, in the Carribcan Sea. It is now reiorted that this steamer was purposely run tiiton the reef, so that in the confusion attendant ujsin the wreck, the sum of over one million dollars, belonging to the United States might be stol en. I lie VIOIUen Xlllie IMU uou yiriua uii board, of whom 180 were children, llie treasure consisted of 1,000,000 in green backs, $161,850 in 7-30 Treasury notes, and $300 in bonds, making a totalof l,lb'J,liU. This large sum was placed in an iron safe, and enclosed in a pine box, n.aue oi uoarus an inch and a half thick, and fastened to gether with screws. After the Golden Rule bad been on the reef, a raft was constructed, and with the aid af this and the ship's boats, the men women and children were transfer red to the "Boobies," a small island near the Rancador Reef. The conduct Lof the captain and the ships crew on the oscasion ot this wreck is reported to have been outrageous; the pas sengers' baggage was destroyed and rilled, and an alteuinl to save the government trea sure forbidden. On June U, the passengers and crew were taken off by the United States vessels of war, the Muntsvilie and the Stale of Georgia, which had come from Aspin- wall at the request ol an orncer ol me uoiu- en Rule, who had gone for assistance in a small boat. One of the government agents in charge of the treasure, however, remained behind, and with the aid of wrecker discov ered on the reef a latkage of e en-thirty notes, amounting to $100,350. and showing signs of having been tanijiered wilh.

From the Fayettvile (a. ) Observer. 1 A very desperate affair occurred at Ar nold's old grocery on Tucker's Creek, in this county on Thursday ast. The circum stances as communicated to m, are Mibstanti ally as follows: A man named IXitsoti, it seems, had parted from hi wite about three years ago, and site had since been receiving the attentions of a young man. Early last week, Dotson and the young man met at a revival at Sbady Grove, when an altercation took place between them, in which one McCrary volunteered a it against Dotson. A day or so later McCrary anil Do'khi acci dentally met, when the lormer drew a pistol and made the latter net on his knee and beg for his life. On Thursday last, SlcCrary went to the house of Mr. Peck, where Dotson wa Uiard ing, entered the door, and passed through a rear room. Dotson, seeing him coming, closed the inner door; McCrary pushed it open, drew a repeater and fired, wounding Dotson at the inner corner of the right ee, and again above the same eye, the shock causing him to fall to his knees. Wiping the blood away that was blinding him, the wounded man drew a piol and fired, strik ing McCnty in the upper art of the abdo men, who then retreated to the yard, where Dotson shot him again, and still again a he climbed the fence to escape. When Dotson fired the last time his brains were oozing from his wounds, and- he fell and died very soon. Of McCrary's three wounds the one in the abdomen is tha severest, and will probably prove fatal. Such are tlie circum stances related to uAy a reliable gentleman from the neighborhood. i rnlesw fcoactmntern.

A wise old gentleman gave the follow ing sage advice to his son: "Common sense, my son, is valuable in all kinds of business except love-making." A correspondent of the Hartford Gniranl, who has been sailing up the Massachusetts coast, wonders way uiouctmer is speueu the way it is, and if that is right, why shouldn't lobster be spelled "lobcester?" The Milwaukee papers, when they speak of the dedication of the new Opera House, call it the "gorgeous event that illumined the dramatic and operatic horizon of our city." A healthy looking trio arrived at Vin- cennes, Indiana, a few days ago. They ag gregated 1,185 pounds, the avoirdupois being distributed as follows: Maternal parent 585 pounds; sixteen year old boy 425 pounds; and an infant phenonmenon, of the female perfuasion, 175 pounds. A Chicago paper says the surest way of preventing hydrophobia in dogs is to supply them well with water, and the safest way to insure them an aburittance of that indispens able fluid is to anchor them in about seven feet of water, so that their heads will be from eighteen to twenty-five inches from the sur face.

What whisky may do is shown by the St. Louis Democrat, which describes how a Deputy United States Marshal got drunk, lost a prisoner, was himself arrested by the police, was dismissed by the Slarshal, was put of a train of cars, run over and killed, all in one day. A New Haven woman, living on Con gress avenue, expected to be married last Sunday. Before the time for the ceremony she began lo celebrate with two female com panions, and the result was that they all got so drank that the ceremony had to be post poned.

A plate of glass measuring one hundred superficial feet was recently silvered at St. Helen's, Lancashire, England, by anew pro cess, by which the mirror was completed in forty hours, instead of in ten days, which would have been according to the old meth ods. 'This mirror, it i stated, is the largest ever manufactured in Lancashire, and, with one or two exceptions, the largest made in England. A blushing damsel in Philadelphia had a man and dog up before the Police Court, to answer the charge of assault and lattery on the dogs part. When asked what the dog did, she said he bit her. When asked where, after considerable hesitation and blushing, she replied: -'On the left dram stick." Tlie farmers in a Wisconsin town are suflering terribly in loss of sheep, over 200 having been killed in one little spot during the last few weeks. There is no mark of vi olence except a small wound behind the ear from which the blood is sucked, the carcase bsing left entire. No sheep-killing animal has been seen in the vicinity, and the ama teur naturalists are inclined to lay it to an in vasion of the vampyre bat. Here is a description of the latest lunacy in hair dressing: "A small portion of the front hair is parted off, cut short, and combed straight down over the eyes. It seems as if a bit of fringe trimmed the forehead, just leaving a small space above the brow. It gives a rather idiotic expression to the coun tenance. Women witn nair as wmie as me snow, and skin like withered vellum, roll their cant locks a la Pompadour. Middle aged matrons wear the small roll, surmount ed with braid, puffs or frizzes, until a tower appears approximating the style of the time of good Queen Bess." In a contribution to the last number of Harper, John G. Saxe says: "As the pun is one of the oldest forms of wit, so also, in spite of its enenris, it seems likely, with whatever vicissitudes, to live as long as lan guage iiself." This is very true. Puns are very old indeed. Some of the very best of Saxe's are at least forty years older than he is himself. L-wisviUe Journal.

Favre was confounded by Bis marck's demand for five milliards, but pres ently grew eloquent in presenting and illus trating the enormity of the exaction. "Why," said the Frenchman, "it one had begun to count at the beginning of the Chris tian era, he would not yet have got through with so monstrous a sum."

Tbadstg Post, Ksn., Jan., 1S59. Gentxkmen: You will greatly oblige a humble friend by allowing the use of your columns while I briefly state two parallels, in my own poor way. Not one year ago, eleven quiet dtixens of this neighborhood, fix: 'William Robertson, Wm. Coliietiet, Amos Hall, Arjatin Hall, John Campbell, Asa Snyder, Thomas Stil well, Wm. Hairgrove, Asa Hairgrove, Patrick Ross and B. L. Reed, were gathered up from their work and their homes by an armed force under one Hamilton, and with out trial or opportunity to speak in their own defence, were formed into a line, and all but one shot five killed and five wounded. One fell unharmed, pretending to be dead. All were left for dead. The only crime charged against them waa that of being Free State men. Now, I inquire, what action has ever, since the occurrence in May last, been taken by either the President of the United States, the Governor of Missouri, the Governor of Kansas, or any of their tools, or by any pro slavery or administration man, to ferret out the uerDetrators of this crime? Now for the oilier parallel. On Sunday, December 19, a negro man called Jim came over to the O-age settlement Irom Missouri, and stated that he. together with his wife, two children and another negro man, was to be sold within a day or two, and begged for help to get away. On Monday (the follow ing) night, two small companies were made up to go to Missouri and forcibly liberate the five stives together with the other slaves. One of these companies I assumed to direct. We proceeded to the place, surrounded the buildings, liberated the slaves, and also took certain property supposed to belong to the estate. We, however, learned, before leaving, that a portion of the articles we had taken belonged to a man living on the plantation, as a tenant and who was supposed to have no interest in the estate. We promptly returned to him all we had taken. We then went to another plantation, where we found five more slave,aiid took some property and two white men. Ve moved all slowly into the Territory for some distance, and then sent the white men back, telling them to follow us as soon as they ckose to do so. The other company freed one female slave, took some property, and, as I am informed, killed one white man (the master), who fought against the liberation. Now for the comparison. Eleven persons are forcibly restored" to their unalienable ri:hts, with but one man killed, and "all hell is stfrred from beneath." It is currently re ported that the Governor of Missouri has made a requisition upon the Governor of Kansas for the delivery of all such as were contented in the last named "dreadful out rage." The Marshal of Kansas ia said to be collecting a posse of Missouri (not Kansas) men at West Point, in Missouri, a little town about ten miles distant, to "enforce the laws." AH pro-slavery, free-State, and dough-faced men, and Administration tools, are lilted with holy horror. Consider the two cases, and the action of the administraation party. Respectfully yours, John Bbown. It is amusing to notice the agonizing effort now being mide by Geo. A. Crawford to be identified as a compatriot with old John Brown. We have a distinct memory of con versation wilh old John Brown, Col. James Montgomery, and other old Kansas libera ors, and they, without exception, classed little George as a symiKithizer with the pro slavery i-arty, a friend of Buchanan, Judge Williams, etc. Wo think the Governor a pretty good man, but lie ought not to go back on his own resord. s IspMban. This city where, according to the Levant Herald, 27,0u0 deaths have occurred from famine and pestilence, was formerly the cap ital of Persia, but is now only the metropolis of the Province of Irak-Ajemi. It is situated on the Yenderud River, in a broad and fer tile plain, about 226 miles south of Teheran. As long ago as the days of the Caliphs of Bagdad, Isaphan was a trading town of great importance; in 1387 it was captured by Timur, the Tartar, and 70,000 people mas sacred, but during the seventeenth century it attained the climax of prosperity under the reign of Shah Abbas the Great. It was then the chief emporium of Asia, with an im menm; commerce, reaching in all directions; tlie aat of Persian government, where re sided Ambassadors of all the principal na tions of Eurojie and the far East, The walls weie twenty-four mjles in circumference, and the population estimated at between 600,000 and 1,000,000. In 1722 it was de vastated by the Afghans, and when, some time after, the capital was transferred to Teliaran, llie decline of Ispahan began, &nd it has never resumed iU former stattu. Beautiful groves and fruitful gvdens and vineyards surround the city still, and the Zenderud, which at this point is six hundred feet wide, is spanned by three tine bridges, one of them a thousand feet in length and having thirty-six arches. But within all is decay and desolation, There are miles of streets without a single tenant, and many of the once splendid palaces are deserted and fallint: into hoiieless ruin. On the southern side of the city is an extensive pleasure ground called tjic Chahar Bagh, which con tains the "I'jIjcc of Forty Colums," once a favorite royal residence perhaps the same of which Colrnige siicaKs; In Xanadodid Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree." Along the front runs a double range ol oninnma Kirh risinir from the backs of four lions cut in purest while marble. Three miliums are inlaid with niirors, and the lis ami rnnf are resnlendent with elaja and gilding. On the south side of the river is the suburb of Julfa, once containing 30,000 inhabitants, but it is now nothing but a mass of ruins. Ispahan itseil, however, has ex tensive manufacturies, iiroducing every va riety of woven labrics, from costly brocades and velvets to common calico. Trinkets, ornamental goods, fire-arms, sword-blades, glass, earthern ware, and many other articles are also made here, and at the proper sea sons of the year the bazaars are crowded with merchants from distant regions. Late ly some signs of improvement are manifested and rice is being extensively cultivated in the neighliorhood. The population is about 175,000. m Tbe Order for Iho i:erution or Jeana X liril. Among the manu-cripu which were prol ably burned in the recent conflagration of the Archiepucopal Palace at Bourges, in France, the most remarkable was, without doubt, the order for tlie execution of Jesus Christ, which was the personal property of the family De la Tour d'Auvergne. Tbe order runs thus: "Jesus of Nazereth, of the Jewish tribe of Judex, convicted of impofture and rebellion against the divine authority of Tiberius An gus, Emperor of she Romans, having for this sacnlige been condemned to die on the cross, by sentence of the jndse, Pontius Pilate, on the prosecution of o.ir lord, Her od, Lieutenant of the Emperor in Judea, shall betaken to-merrow morning, the 23d iay of the ides of March, to the usual place of punishment, under the escort of a eempa nv of the Pretorian guard. Tbe so-called King of the Jews shall be taken out by the Strunean gate. All the public officers and the subjects of the Emperor are directed to lend their aid to the execution of this sen tence.

A woman living in Portland, Maine, keeps a brood of ducks, and of one of them the Prea teMs the following: "Lately she noticed that the largest and finest one of the brood appeared to be ailing. She doctored it to the best of ber knowledge, but in vain. Tbe duck finally died. The woman being anxious to ascertain the came of tbe fowl's death, cut it open, when a singular sight presented itself. In the crop of the duck was a large frog, like any other (except that it was covered with a very thin skin, through which the blood vessels could be plainly seen), completely filling the crop, thus caus ing suffocation. It seems that when the dues: was young it must have swallowed a little poliywog, and then tbe pollywog had grown and thriven in this singular habitation. To Yocso Ladies. "I have found," says Addison, "that men who are really the mort fond of the ladies, who cherish for them the highest respect, are seldom the most pop ular with the sex. Men of great assurance, whose tongues are lightly hung, who make words supply the place of ideas, and place compliment in the room of seatiBsent, are their favorites. A due respect for women leads to respectful action towardslaeo; aad icspect is mistaken try thesa for neglect or 1 want of ialtuw." 7, 1871, A "TS?.T F LOVE. How Woes Ma Wife. Mrs. Stowe ttiade her reputation from the great mine of romantic truth which surrounds so many of the colored race. The future novelist will draw upon the simple annals of tne once uown-troaaen, oat now emancipat ed, people as the historians of the Pentate oens have drawn from the exodaVfrom bond age of the children of Israel. Year after year Robert Jackson has been the second waiter at the Union, and the head waiter at Congress Hall, but the careless crowds have not known that through his veins courses the proudest Virginian blood. Robert is a srnalL well made quadroon, fash ioned, perhaps, in the same mould as Ste phen A. Douglas, lor nis nead closelv re sembles that of the "Little Giant." 'His grandfather was Gen. Harry Lee, of revolu tionary light horse cavalry fame; and his mother was a slave named Jenny, a maid of Mrs. Lee. Soon after the birth of William Jackson, the head waiter's father, Jenny was sold o Col. Stewart, of Frederick County, Maryland. The boy William showed extra ordinary intelligence, and became a pet of his master, and on the death of Col. Stewart found himself free by a clause in the will. William went immediately to Washington, where he had been several times with his master. There he met John McLean, Post master General under Martin Van Buren,and a friend of his old master. Judge McLean appointed him a messenger in the in the Post Office Department at a salary of $000 a year. While a messenger in the Post Office De partment, William Jackson met a beautiful, long-haired ctoroon, the slave of old Judge John Stewart, of Baltimore. The slave girl's name was Rachel, and she came to attend Miss Stewart, one of the fashionable Balti more belles, at one of President Van Buren's receptions. William lost his heart wilh the dusky maid, and soon went to Baltimore to get Judge Stewart, who owned her, to consent to their marriage. "No sir;" said the Judge indignantly, " Rachel is a slave, and she must marry a slave. If she marries a free nigger she will be running away herself, and besides, I don't know when I may want to sell her to the New Orleans traders." "Then I can never marry her?" " Never, until somebody buys her from me," replied the Judge. Rachel was sent to the Frederick county farm, and thither William went in the night to hold a consultation with her. First it was resolved to run awav. But there was no chance of success. The fugitive slave law was in effect; passes were required by the slaves on the plantations, and to run away was surely to be caught, returned, and then a dreadful whipping followed. "What can we do 7" sobbed Kachel. "I know." replied William, ! will buy you myself." "But you have no money. "I can work and earn it," replied the de termined lover. "How much will you take for Rachel?'' he asked of Judge Stewart the next morning. "Well, a thousand dollars will buy her," replied the hard-hearted Judge. William went to work tvsry cent was saved, he even going on foot through Frede rick county by night, to Bee Rachel, where they held solemn consultations and hoped only for the time when he could buy her and town her and make her his wife. Think ol that, mercenary beaux, heartless fortune-hunters of Congress hall think of toiling night and day, and then think of laying your last cent for the love of a wo man. Two yean rolled around and nine hun dred dollars gladdened the sight of William Jackson. Christmas came. "What shall I give you for Christmas this year, William?" asked the good old Postmaster-General of his trusty messenger. "Anything, Mr. Secretary?" "But what would you like the most?'' Then William told the story of his and Rachel's troubles how he was afraid she would be sold; how he loved her dearly, and how he lacked still a hundred dollars to buy her. The old Postmaster-General took ofV his specs, wiped his eves, then put them on again. Then he fumbled in Lis pockets. "Five ten twenty thirty ," he counted, and then he handed William a hundred dol lars! Too happy to live, William started for Judge Stewart's. "Here, Master John," said he, with his eyes all a glow with joy, "here is tlie thou sand dollars now I want Rachel." "My God! William, you don't tell me so!" exclaimed the Judge. "Why I sold rachel yesterday for $1,20U, to go to Mo bile." "When is 3he going?" asked William, nervously. "She's gone already went yesterday. She'll be in Lynchburg in three days by the boat." Broken-hearted and crushed in spirit Wil liam hurried back to Judge McLean in Washington. The Judge heard his story. Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun were in the Judge's room, and tey both took a deep interest. "Let's raise tlie money and send Willi mi after her," said the generous Webster. "He would be seized a dozen times as a fugitive," said the Judge, "and they'll sell him too," "I'll send my private secretary," said Mr. Webster; and so lie did. There was no telegraph then, nor cars,but the Secretary took the Potomac river boat, and $1,200 contributed b William Jackson's friends in the Department, overtook Rachel, showed Mr. Calhoun's letter, endorsed by several Virginians, bought her and brought ber back. Calhoun, Webster, and Judge McLean saw them married next week. Our head waiter, Robert Jackson afterward waited on Webster and Calhoun in their old age at the old "Indiana Queen Hotel," in Washington, now called the Metropolitan, where in 1834, he met Mrs. Joseph Luther, a present habitue of Congress Hall, on her wedding tour. Mrs. Luther took ltolert to Swansea, Mass., instructing him, and a few years afterward he made an engagement at the Union Hoiel. During the winter he catered for those eccentric bachelors in New York T. n. Falle, Edward Penfold, or Robert McCrosky. Only the former sur vives. In 1S6S Robert became head waiter of Congress Hall. He caters for New York ers in the winter at 20G Waverly Place. Robert has, perliaps, the largest acquain tance of any one in Saratoga. He knows old Presidents and scions of royalty, knows dis tinguished savants, poets, statesmen and his torians. He lives in a beautiful vine-clad cottage on Washington fctreet, Saratoga.where the guests of Congress Hall frequently call upon his wife.who is oneof tlie neatest house keepers in Saratoga. Tbe (social Horror or the Day. The young girl who was left at the Firft precinct station house in Brooklyn, by a Dr. Perry and a Mrs. Van Buskirk, died in the City Hospital yesterday. This adds another murder to the long and melancholy lit of social horrors which hang over the city like a curse. Why is i: that these social crimes are of such frequent occurrence? They can not spring from mere depravity, for the vic tims are generally persons of previous good reputation, and only the professional mur derers are wholly lost to all the instincts of humanity. Some dee-Feated reason there must be for it; and this we can find only in the early teachings of philosophers like Greeley and the commnnistic ideas which he and his followers have been preaching. In other words, social duties are disregarded, because tbe marriage relation ha been al lowed to fall into contempt among a large class of tbe community. This contempt has not been fostered so much by the professed "iree lovers" as by those who are pretending to seek a higher sphere for women that wo men may be degraded. If the horrors of the hut few days cannot make the commu nity understand this we know of nothing which can teach the necessary lesson. X. Y. Herald. m Tne cltlea of r.nalanei and Ike I'nlted Ktaiea.
