v Southern Women.
Not lo?g since, Col. Alfred R. Cal
houri came from Iiis nativo North arid
took charge of tho Columbus (Gaf) En
quirer, as its editor and proprietor.
Scarcely had ne got fairly settled in his
position- when a Southern lady sent
a basket ,of fruits and flowers, and
following is what he said through
paper in acknowledgement of the
jr;
?JVe received the flowers and fruit sent
byjour fair correspondent, and at once
sejit them off to gladden the heart of a
little girl, whoso fato is very closely link
ed with ours. It will make her happier
know her husband's efforts arc appre
.led, and in her joy will bend and kiss
tjkat smaller girl on her knee, and feel
sno has friends to compensate her for tho
djbar ones left in her far-off Northern
ome. It was a hard thing to leave tho
pot where the ancestors of two hundred
ears aro buried above the Schuylkill,
at a woman's faith and a good wife's
ove led her to cast lior fate willingly
with ours in this Southern land, which,
ero this, lias been to her a "terra iricog
jaita," or worse, a laud of .fabulous terrors
und fiery hato for those north of the
Potomac.
One of the popular delusions North is,
the hauteur and undisguised dislike which
Southern ladies are supposed to eutcr
tain for people from the Northern States.
"The gentleman will receive you and your
wife kindly, for Southern men arc prov
erbially courteous and gallant, but you
will be completely ignored by Southern
ladies, and your wife will be compelled
to social isolation." We did not bolieye
$3lu8i as wo did not believe the many other
lies that have kept so many away from
this fair land, arid resolving to come, she
to whom we sent the fruit aud flowers,
bravely came to share, whatever fate was
in store for us. But the threatened Upas
out to b'e a"M W.r.?2cll? ha? turned
the Southern sisters have taken her by
the liana and drawn her to their hearts,
and all that is good in our natures is
made better by this more than generous
reception. But the falsehood has gone
abroad about the bitterness of Southern
ladies, and it might be well to look at
the cause When the war broke out there
could bo no kiudly feelings in the hearts
of women on cither side, for they saw
their brothers, husbands, sons and lovers
going out to soldier's graves for a cause
each deemed right; and woman's heart of |
failh was more sorely tested in these black
days than were the men who went down
before the blaze of artillery, or fell in the
jungle, or gave up life for God and
Fatherland in the hospital or cruel prison.
Leaving out the questions involved in
the cause of battle, men never fought and
suffered with a grander heroism than did
those poorly-fed, ill-clad, never-paid
troops of tho Con federacy; and if the
enduring offatigue without alarm, throw
ing life and property into the scale with
the sword be the test of patriotism, then,
indeed, do they deservo the name. Tho
suffering at the fearful front of fire that
stretched from the Atlantic to the West
ern plains,and extended down to the warm
Gulf was fearful, but it was only the
shadow of suffering compared tp that
which was endured in tho once happy
homes of tho land. Many a bravo boy
fc\\ with the blood flowing earthward
from his heart, but the bullet that struck
him stopped not when the tide of lifo hud
run out. It went on and on, till it reach
ed a homo and settled in a mother's heart,
or struck down, a loved one whoso young
lifo was crushed by tho blow that sent
the Boldier to his grave. Tho cbarge.the
terrible struggle, the night, wounded on
tho battle-field, the forced march, the
short rations, the prison, and the escape
were tho things that tested tho physique
and pluck of men. But the real suffer
ing of the war was in tho anxious hearts
of women who felt the blow when it came,
und in dread anticipation of its ever coin
ing, suffered in filcuco through tho long
day?and nights of gloomy years. And
that suffering .was so wide-spread that
sympathy became mutc.for sho could not
soothe tbo woes of all. Many a fair
haired boy went proudly out with a moth
er's blessing, though ho did not sec the
tear that followed; but lienover returned
?ho wns garnered i u one of those harv
est? of death that dot the land and rnako
our hills historic. Many a husband kiss
ed nis wife and little blies, andwent down
for Glod'and country-to the 'valley of
death. 'Many a maiden j whose yqnug
heart was filled with its idol, dear to her
as heaven itself, pissed him and hoped
fer the happier day of peace, and the
longed-for time, but it came not; the
bridegroom had gone at the summons of
tho mystic angel to await his bride in the
Land beyond the river of death. Yes
theirs was suffering, and theirs aro the
wounds that can not heal?for the heart
of a woman ever bleeds when death , tears
the loved one from it. We can not
wonder, then, that in tho South women
should have felt more keenly the loss of
that cause for which dear ones died;
while the Southern soldiers, more familiar
with their foe, had grown to respect the
energy and courage shown in opposition.
"When the war closed it was but natural
that Southern women should see in the
blue-coated soldiers about them slayers
of their dear ones and tho conquerors of
their land. Every feeling revolted ngninst
showing a regard they could not fcel,and;
when political plunderers followed, it was
to be 'expected thut Southern women
would step aside and avoid the contagion
that every honest man, North and South
would loathe; and it was these men who
have belied .the South and misrepresented
her bentiful true-hearted daughters.
Wo hear little now of the heroism of
these women, though their sisters of the
North emulated them in their works of
mercy and sympathy with suffering.
Hero in the South, women worked for
themselves. In every, village and hamlet
and valley and plain limy made clothing
scrapcdJint.prepared dainties for the sick,
and wrote words of.cheer for the well, to
show the soldier boys the women were
thinking arid praying for them. More
like ministering angels? they went to the
hospitals,'and soldiers turned on their cot
of pain to bless them as they passed.
ba??VcFe' 'Wftjtfie. words of dying bus
sent them to his widow one far *nwayJ;
they cheered the fainting boy into life;
and tho touch of their soft hands had a
healing balm for the burning brow on
which they were placed. Kind words
for the despondent; gentle acts for those
racked with pain, and tears pure and
sympathetic as the angels; for those who
lay on a soldier's bier. All this has often J
come to our mind?, and in thinking of
these women we have wondered if iu the
great hereafter departed spirits will have
scx,\for if they do the angel spirits of wo
men will rest nearer the throne of God,
and their voices will bear the sweetest
song, and their harps resound with the
sweetest strain in praise of that God who
rules over North and South, and orders
th'.ngs in accordance with His great de
sign. Wo meant not to so much, but the
subject is prolific, and our poverty of
treatment is compensated for by our hav
ing thought on a subject so ennobling.
A Woman Bound and Chloroformed
in Her Own House.
Yesterday in New York a daring at
tempt at robbery was made at 141 Amity
street at 10 o'clock in tho morning. The
house corners on Sixth avenue, and is
occupied by Henry Sicfkc and bis wife
Carolina. The first floor is a liquor store
kept by Sicfkc. The second floor, to
which the only entrance is through an
offset stairway, 1-11 Amity street contains
the family apartments, a parlor, two
bedrooms, and kitehen. Access to tho
latter is through a small entry between
tho parlor and back bedroom. Mrs.
Siefko was washing clothes in the main
entry, and just as she had taken a quan
tity of clothes to hang out in the kitchen
window, she heard the door of the small
entry shut.and locked. Turning she saw
two men, one of whom she supposed to
bo her husband, enter the parlor through
the kitchen. She followed them, and
just as she passed the thtcshold she was
seized by the thront and a bandage was
laid over her eyes. She says that she
recognized one of the faces of her capt ors
as that of a man who had tried to rob
her a few weeks ago, but was then fright
ened away by bor stamping on the floor
as a sigual to her husbaud who was
working below. To prevent this the men
took her shoes off and then debated what
they should do with her. A quantity of
strong braid was on the ?oq^J^oV^a^ ..
them suggested that they hang her; to
the clothes-hooks in the bcdroamiitoTJ&tp
then dragged her to the bacfc*?b_?fm,
and made a stout cord by twisting IhB
braid, fastened it tight alUUUd !Wf JMBfi
but'on trying the strength ?f the'olbll&S
hodks found them too weak f?h ttie^jffiir
pose- They then dragged her qa'ck*'into
the parlor, tied her hands an&'fec^ljput
a plaster over her mouth, andilied-feor
bo fast to the leg of the piano that she
could not move. Not contented" vAlk
these precautions they put chloroform to
her nose, and poured some kind of liquor
down her tin oat. She fell into a state
oi physical incapacity, but retained a
vivid recollection of the" soun'ds fine
heard. The robbers first'took'ofl"^
diamond earrings and finger rings. -Tfief
they went into the fhjfiT'^Jeatoom and
ransacked the bureau drawers, collecting
jewolry of considerable vfthiei >'>Ttfese

dresses and some of Mr, S_tafkq*s coataert

must have watched, for Mrel Siefke^ays >
that after they had been m''tJhe?%*hftB
about tweuty minutes she heard one of
them say "There comes Hen,'': leaning
her husband. She heard his steps as
cending the stairs. Ho tried, tho, small
entry door, and finding it locked, entered
tho parlor by the other door", 'and glanc- '
ing at his wife as she lay under the* piaffo
ho ran quickly down staita. The robbers
improved the opportunity , to.,.escajHi
Siefko says that ho ran down stairs^tp N
get his pistol, although he was jmt
half a minute gone did' not see. the re
treating robbers. As he rah
fired a pistol shot through agitation. He
found Mrs. Sicfkc uncoucious. Some of
the striugs that fastened her were drawn
very tight and tied with numer??sk*fl6&

The robbera did not leave a trace.
Even the bottles containing the chlore*
form and narcotic were, taken a way.
They left all the booty they had cplleted
heaped in tho trunk. The robperq Mrs,
Sief ke thinks she recognized she describes
as a short, stout, dark-coroplexi?ncd1 tnau
I wearing moustache and imperial. As
tbey spoke of her husband familiarly as
"Hen'' she thinks they aro frequenters of
I his saloon. He went oilt of his saloon
just before their entrance, a fact of which
they were undoubtedly aware. As there
ero no marks of forcible entry on'tho
outside door it is inferred they must have
had latch keyB, and hovehad"a thorough
acquaintance with _tho_.premis.es. The
ward detectives worked on tho case all
day without making any arrest.?Sux.
A Saco woman, while putting down a
carpet a few days ago, aceidently spilled
a paper of tacks in a chair, and, before
she had time to remove them, she was
called away to attend to a' lady visitor, -
who dropped in to tell her about a love
of a bounce, she forgot all about the
tacks. When her husband came home at
night ho sat down in that chair to tako
oft* his boots, and then he got up again,
without wasting any timo, and made a*,
speech; and bis wife is ready to take k#%
oath that bo can quote more Scripture-ift>
