Jj* The agitation in relation to the Bloomer cos- 1
t ime has reached Paris, and the edifors are amus- j
ing themselves not a litttle in relation to it. If
they can yfart the fashion in the French capital it \
will go. i _
,j j' There was a government sate of damaged nil- i
pkments of war, including about one thousand
flint muskets, twenty-seven of Hall's patent ri
fles, a lot of swords, bayonets, catnde boxes, gun
stocks, tSrc., nt the Marine Barracks, Washington
City, on the 20th instant. The Republic says: ;
“ The muskets and rifles were not deemed suita
ble for the public service, and some of them had
long been soaking in oil to remove the rust which
time had accumulated. However, there was a
brisk bidding by the large assemblage, uml the guns
trenf o/f in lots of four hundred, three hundred,
seventy-five, and less. The prices ranged be ween
twenty-seven cents and one dollar each, or an
average of forty-four cents. Swords brought forty
seven cents a piece. Two thousand cartridge
boxes, forty dollars; bayonets, sevety-eight cents
a hundred ; seven hundred and fifty gun stocks,
two and a-half cents a piece, ami seventy-five
cents, one hundred and twenty dollars. Among
other articles, old brass was sold for eleven and
three quarter cents <i i»ound.”
it is said that a large number of old muskets
a'nd tents were purchased by two persons from
New York, who declined to give their names.
Anecdote of Andrew Jackson.
A particular friend has just told us an anecdote
of the hero of New Orleans, which, we think is
hard to beat; and, which we are quite certain lias i
never appeared in print. Unwilling that so excel
lent an anecdote should be left untold, we have
concluded to tell it ourself—so here goes :
Just after Martin Van Buren was elected Presi- j
dent, an eldprly gentleman in Ti nnessee thought
that he would apply to the President for an office,
provided that he could get a recommenration from
Gen. Jackson. .So with this idea he approached
the Hi run ai:e. Oil his arrival he found the Old
Hero quietly rocking himself to and fro in his old :
arm chair devoutly reading a chapter in the New
Testament, tor it must t* bourn in uunil that spoilt .
this time, the General was in 'good standing' with 1
the Presbyterian church.
no V.
advanced towards the chair.
■ (food tautmngP repeated the General, as he ex
tended las hand to the visitor, take- a seat if you
please.’
Well, General, 1 am about to apply to the Presi
dent for an office, so 1 thought 1 would come to
you aud get you to give me a reiommemlnrion.'
' I cangive you the letter,’says the General, ‘but
whether it will do you any good oi not I cannot
tell, for you know that when a person onre gets out
of office Ins mtlunence is pretty apt to go too; how
ever, 1 have done a great dea. lor Mr. Van Burcn,
aud perhaps he may be grateful enough to recol- ;
lect it.'
The general wr ite hint the letter : and proceed
ed to lecture him upon the vanity of all earthly
desires; he told lulu that he was getting old and
that lie ought to begin to make arrangements foi j
the world to come—to leave off meddling with j
party—to forgive his enemies, aud to exercise
charity and good will to ail mankind. The
gentleman told him that he had often thought
of these things, and resolveiWor the future to act
more in accordance with the Christian religion.
• Well, General,’ said the gentleman, taking his
hat to depart, ‘1 am much obliged to you for your
kindness, but #» I have to go to Governor Bell’s I’d
better be starling ; the Governor has promised to
give me a letter
‘Governor icAof interrupted the General.
‘Governor Unit' replied the gentleman.
‘Governor Bell !' thundered the old General as
In ruse up from lus rhair; ‘Hv G—d ! sir, Bkll

A corresp indent >1 the San Antonio Western
T- xau writing from New Braunfels on the 7th till.,
gives the following account of a recent case of
lynching at that place :
•‘ An incident ol rather a singuUrlyseriou# char
acter took place here on the evening of the 3d
wist. A German of the name of Wersdoeler, well
known ui this aud the surrounding counties as au
old offVnOer, wav shot dead while bound iri irons,
and in coniinemeat m our court house. As cus
loi'iarv, this Wersdoeiler was conspicuous in the
suit* tried at our last District Court, and more par
ticuiarli in a suit brought against him by the State
lor steaung horses on to» Ontario, the property of
Mr. Perryman. Uis guilt seems to have been
clearly proved, but from reasons not easily to be
ih Lned, two of the jurors disapproved of awarding
any punishment. The consequence was, that
the old offender, depredator and thief, was allow
ed once more U. prowl at large, to the infinite dan
li r of tin- columnmu> »*,: the indignation of eve
ry well meaning citizen. The common brag of this
notorious delinquent, at each offence, wastlidt he
i.ad still plenty of gold pieces, (accumulated by
lusduhowwt pra.ln--, | wherewith to win over
the exertion* m fns behalf of seine pettifogging
and pititul lawyer, who would think low enough
of hirriselt to accept, Hereby showing little re
to himself or the community in which he
may itmde.
As was to have been seen by every thinking mind,
from the unpunished (catalogue of crimes which
this man has committed, his offences would not
stop here. He made an attack for some trilling
cause, upon an unprotected woman, in the ab
sence of her husband, with a pistol loaded with
cut bar lead, ami discharged the contents, which
took effect in the head and upper part of the body.
This done, he absconded. This took place on the
2d inst., about twelve miles distant, in the Santa
Clara settlement.
On a report of Ihis cowardly and unprovoked
act having reached this place, a general state of I
excitement ensued, and energetic ateps were taken
for his capture. With this intent, the officers,
with a few Citizens, went in search of him and
luccecded in bringing him back the evening after
the deed was committed. The first stopping place,
in arriving, was the smith's shop, where he was
secured in the most effective manner. He was
then conveyed to the court house amt there fasten
-d, with a guard of six men around him. The
community waxed in excitement, and each mind
was absorbed in recapitulating the many crimes of
which he had been guilty, and the manner he
had escaped all. The want of a jail, &e., present
ed obstacles to' keeping him in custody until the
next term of the court. No fixed plan seems to i
have lieen adopted, but the determined feeling to
keep hun fast was unanimous. The streets were I
noisy with the discussion of this subject until a
late hour, when the ahove-mentined act of the
lirisoner luring shot dead through the window from j
without, in the immediate presence of his guard,
caused scare re-action on the subject.

Not in cemeteries only
Are the records of the dead;
All around on hearth-stones lonely
May their epitaphs tie read.
Every household shuweth traces
Sacred to departed love;
And each band of kindred faces
Hath an absent one above.
Not a heart but hath some corner
Darkened by the cypress shade,
Where affection xits, a mourner.
By the waste that death hath made.
Not an eye but frequent turneth
Upward to the jeweled sky,
To s nne flashing gem, that hurneth
With a new-born brilliancy.
Polished slabs and granite solemn
_ May heroic deeds enroll;
Bui the only daring column
Kises, quarried from the soul—
From the soul, where fondly linger
Shadows of the lovely flown;
Where no sacrilegious linger
Stains the monumental stone.
Marble words alone can nevwr
Immortality impart;
But love's record lives for ever
Deeply sculptured on the heart.
Let no impious Te Deum
CelebTate the spirit’s praise—
Nor the chiseled mausoleum
With its lapidary lays.
Love shall claim the holy duty,
Watching with her angel tread;
Tinging with immortal beauty
All the relics of the dead.

KXI’KKIK.M'F.N. I f
BY MAJOR PATTON, V. S. A.
About the world I’ve journeyed much,
I’ve travelled far and near,
And my experience is such
As you shall shortly hear.
I’ve seen the worst—I’ve seen the best
Of (so called) human kind
Where all are busily in quest
Of what they never find.
I’ve known a man who robbed the poor,
And yet was rich himself,
Who drove the beggar from his door
With silver on the shelf.
I’ve seen a judge who justice sold,
Have heard a canister pray,
And know a wife who did not scold
’’ t pon a washing day.”
A lass I’ve seen just turned fifteen,
(A blossom partly blown)
Who really did not care 1 ween
To be a “ woman grown.”
, Again, I’ve met a needy inaid
(“Oh! Godfrey, be it sung !’’)
Who did not seem the Irani afraid
At being reckoned young.
I’ve known a lawyer plead a cause
Who never sent Ins lull,
And knew a doctor (not of laws)
Take his persnription pill.
I’ve known a tradesman speak the truth,
I’ve heard a parson swear,
And knew a liackuian once in sooth,
Who charged but iairful fare.
I’ve known a parson play at tekmt
Who would not play at lav;
And knew an abolitionist
Who did a slave pursue;
To lavish ou his offspring wild
A miser board Ins gold;
And seen a mother leave her child
For stranger hands to hold.
I’ve seen a maiden who had slid ‘
Who tiad a modest air,
And seen a belle who (seeming) did
Not know that she was fair.
Once on a railroad ’twas my lot
To get a " passage free,”
And on a steamdr once I got
A decent cup of tea.
And I have seen once in my life
A husband, be it known.
Who did not treat his neighbor’s wife
Same better than his own;
And also see—I’ll be (don’t wink!)
As gentle as 1 can—
Some time ago, it was—I think—
1 saw au honest man.

The Vhii f of Police in New York has presented
his annuai report to the Mayor of that city. There
were seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-six
arrests during the quarter ending March last, be
ing three hundred and fifty-six less than during
the previous quarter. This decrease in the nuui
itr of arrests has occurred mainly in such offen
ces as assault and battery and intoxication awl
disorderly conduct, white there has been an in
crease in the number of arrests for violating cor
poration oadinauce, of one hundred and fifty-seveu.
For the higher grades of crime, the number of ar
rests vsrv but little from the previous quarter. The
whole number of offences committed during the
quarter amount to eight hundred arid nine, being
three hundred and fourteen less than during the
previous quarter. Fifteen thousand three hun
dred and ninety-eight persons w ere accommodated
with lodgings at,various station-houses; five hun
dred and sixtv-eight lost children restored to their
parents; one hundred and forty-five sick or injured
persons aided; fifty-one rescued from drowning;
fifty-two fires extinguished; two hundred and fifty
:me stores and dwellings found open; two hundred
■ud seventy-two cattle, and one hundred and une
horses found astray and restored to their owners;
nine thousand #*e hundred and sixty-four dollars
and eighty-eight cents taken from lodgers and drunk
en persons and returned to them again. A river
police to protect property along the wharves, is
again recommended.

SIHTHm JGUICl'LTI'RE.
We ropy from the Savannah Republican the
following letter, giving some account ui an expeii
nient in draining, made by Major Starke, of Savan
nah. Our readers will be interested not only by
the magnitude and result of the experiment itself,
but in the polished and humorous manner in which
it is related.
We have been for some time aware that Geor
gia is full of activity and enterprise, and that she
is rapidly outstripping in wealth and population
every other southern State. With auch citizens
as the writer of this letter, no other result can be ‘
looked for. Examples like this have a wonderful
effect; they stimulate enterprise in all the pursuits
of life, and those who set them are public bene
factors; 4
“ The subscriber has a plantation of several
thousand acres, fifty miles bi-low Augusta, on the
Georgia side of the Savannah river. Nearly in the
centre of this body of land 11 or was Mobly’s pond,
a large, and in Semen county a celebrated sheet
of water, seven miles round and eight feet deep,
heretofore a fruitful source of disease to the neigh
borhood and of revenue to the doctors. The up
per half was an open plain of more than a thou
sand acres, where a hundred steamboats could 1
ride in safety, and where, from any point, a bird j
could lie distinctly seen. The lower section is
covered with cypress, whose rich foliage and droop
ing moss, intercepting the sun's rays anil overshad
owing the waters, presented to the view a dismal
canopy above anil a horrible landscape beneath.
Here millions of noxious vermin lived and flpunced
and died. Here the horned owl chanted Ins mel
ancholy ditties. Here the white crane gathered
her fowl, built her neat, ami reared her young, and,
when congregated by thousands on the branches
of this magnificent tree, resembled a vast shrub
bery of sermgoes m bloom. The open parts were
the resort ol innumerable wild fowls, and were
covered with countless flocks of ducks. This lo- i
quacious bird, during the long winter nights, kept
up an eternal row; Ins carousals and jollification
picnics transcended everything of record in the
achievements of Venus and Bacchus, and were I
almost a match for the uproarious frolics of John
Bull and Brother Jonathan on the anniversary birth
“ The alligator was the king lieast of this pon
tine marsh; armed with a formidable tail and a pair
of more formidable jaws, he was the terror of the
women and boys and negroes. Compared to him
in bodily appearance, the oiirang-outang was a
heaut'j and the jackass lovely. His most interest
mg position was a recumbent posture, with las
upper jaw elevated at right angles, and his teeth
shining in the sun. When lying in ambush for
lus prey,, he could flourish an eye that would
shame a catamount, and a trunk the like of which
never flounced in the waters of Hhlegethon or
Cocrttis. This redoubtable animal was frequently
to be seen prowling upon the banks with the agil
ity of the hippopotamus, and floating upon the
waters with the stillness of a serpent. 1 strongly
suspect that his reputatioa for manliness had its
origin in the writings of the zoologist who, instead
of manipulating him gently as a lap-dog, peeped at
him through a spyglass from a most respectful dis
tance. Although a soldier among calves, and pigs,
and lambs, his courage and ferocity are evidently
overrated; it is seldom that a full grown hog reali
zes the honor of being digested in, his capacions
maw.
“ The terrapin could be counted by thousands,
and the finest trout in Georgia were there. To
this horde of vermin the draining of Mobiy’s pond
w as an epoch. The fish, left by the receding wa
ters in the weeds and grass, fell an easy prey to
the vultures, The terrapin, unambitious of dis
tinction among men, plunged into Hie ditch, and
hurried himself into the swamps of Savannah. The
duck, with heavy heart, mounted into the air, and
like a ‘skimmer of the seas,’ bade a final farewell
to this memor’able scene of his festivites. The al
ligator, with • melancholy steps and slow,’ no
doubt reached some land of promise where, free
from danger and the world’s malice, he could en
joy in summer lus mud hole, and 111 winter tus light
unto! knot t.
“ Having stated somewhat prolixly, arid perhaps
with too much levity, what Mobiy’s pond was, l
now proceed to state what Mobiy’s pond it. Seven
years ago, ‘ solitary and alone,’ I undertook to
drain this body of water, and, although out of
pocket some #10,000, I do not regret the result.
The landed estate (pond included) cost #50,000,
and 1 am vain enough sometimes to think that the
spade has doubled its value. Originally this pond
was joint property, but, from want of concord
among the proprietors, was seemingly destined to
remain a nuisance to the end of time. Eventual
ly it fell into my hands, and now, in this year of
,<>ur Lord Is 19, so prolific of prodigies, and so
memorable to monacchs—with a natural atmos
phere full of poison, and a political one full of re
pukhcanitm—with the lower ‘ ten Ihoushtid’ dying
with filth, and the upper ‘ ten thousand ’ with
fright—with despotism standing oil a volcano, and
freedom upon a rock, Mobiy’s pond (what a ba
thos!) is as dry as an ashbank, or the throat of a
loafer in the honev-moon of his temperance pledge.
“ In the first place, 1 caused to be excavated a
centre ditch four miles long, and on some points
from sixteen to twenty feet deep, beginning at the
Savannah swamp and passing entirely through the
pond. Secondly w ere dug spring ditches of sever
al miles in length, in all suitable places; and, last
ly, imrallel ditches leading from the ccntrcno the
spring drains; these lateral ditches were placed at
intervals of 140 yards. The cypress part, formerly
visited only by a canoe, is now easily accessible,
and furnishes abundant and durable timber for
building and fencing. The open uncultivated part
is covered with grass averaging 4,000 pounds to
thy acre, palatable and nutritious to horses and
other stock. Last year sixty acres yielded sixty
heavy bales of cotton, and the best acres of the
corn land seventy-six bushels.
“This work was accomplished by Irish ditchers.
Negroes, it is said could have done it cheaper;
but, governed by the maxuu ‘ nr tutor ultra rrt
pulum,' 1 confined the black man to the cultivation
of the staple commodities.
‘Mu the open uncultivated part of Mobly’s pond
there arc several hundred acre* of peat IJr.im
twelve to thirty-six inches deep, resting on a bed
of blue clay; at first 1 had great misgivings in re
gard to this [icat iaud, and thought of using it ex

planted seventy acres of it in corn. With a tube
plough, similar to the blade of a coulter, 1 cut
the land both ways every twelve inches to the
raite grass roots, followed the same furrow with a
full tongue, and buraled up m every direction
square blocks of peat. After being exposed to
the sun and made dry, these were fired and burnt.
By this means the formidable roots of the cane
grass were eradicated and a coat of ashes secured,
la the s|>riiig, ridges were thrown up, the corn
planted, and, up to this time, 1 vety much ques
tion whether m all Georgia there is a better field
of grain.
“Several hundred acres of this pond are appro
priated to pasture. This grass in many places is
breast high, and the mowers pronounce it equal to
any specimens in New England. To me, it u a
panorama, to use a big word, transcendently beauti
ful. Unfortunately, 1 do not reside on iu> planta
tion; but when 1 go there (which is often) and
look around on that platm of velvet, 1 become
dreamy and imaginative, and fancy it to be the
finest .'U' dow cast of the buffalo primes. When I
be ho, d the cattle browsing on the rank grass, and
cotton and corn springing from a soil which for
ages generated malaria and monsters, I enjoy the
landscape with as much gutta as ever Archimedes
did his solution of Uie problem of the King of
Syracuse, or Sardtnapains his diuner on bull
frogs.
“Independent of this, I have drained ou the
same premises some fifteen other ponds, all of
which are productive, and one of which, embra
cing a hundred acres, is worth, in the opinion of
some Carolina gentlemen who have visited it,
two hundred dollars to the acre.
'• Moldy’s pond is no longer an eyesore, hut
Pygmalion's clay metamorphosed into a beautiful
woman. It throws out its wealth from centre to
circumference, yielding materials for building and
fencing, pasture for cattle, hay for work-Horans,
and corn and rutton which would not disgrace the
banks of the Mississippi. • • • •

The Progress of Bioomerism.
The Boston Transcript says that Bioomerism in •
all the Iftfce cities is uphill work. In this city, on
Saturday evening last, one appeared in the dress i
circle of the Walnut St. Theatre, and a really pret- j
ty, modest looking lady she was too. “ Ladies,” ;
says the Transcript •• who have been accustomed :
to lead in the fashions do not countenance.the thing
at all. In fact it is a dead failure.” And again: |
“ Bioomerism, we believe has reached its cul- j
mmating point in Boston. There were but two or i
three “ Bloomers” seen in the streets yesterday, |
and those were girls in their low teens, for whom '
the costume is waU enough: but it requires more j
than ordinary courage tor a woman **fat, fair an 1
forty.” to attempt to force the fashioy.” *'
Another Boston paper describes the following
" Outrage on Bioomerism.”
“ Between 8 and 9 ocloek last evening, two
young ladies while passing down Hanover street in
‘ Bloomer’ jcostume were outrageously insulted by
a gang of rowdies who jostled them off the sidewalk,
and in other ways insulted and annoyed them.—
The Bloomers were finally obliged to take refuge j
in a house. Such was the excitement and the in- j
tereat felt by citizens in l>ehn!f of the ladies, that
the police were looked alter, but none could be
found in the vicinity of the outrage.”
The Evening Journal of the same city is straight j
out in favor ot the new fashion, and even covets j
the honor of giving it a classical name. The edi
tor wants the new dress to be called The Camil
la costume;” after that celebrated Volscian queen, -
who, educated in the woods, accustomed to hunt- 1
mg, the leader of nn army against .Eneas, was so |
fleet of foot that she could fly over a field of corn
without bending the blade, and over the sea with
out wetting her feet.
VVe must confess we do not perceive the appo
siteness of this appellation. ” It would be more
germane to the matter,” if our women were exp- c
ted to run foot races, or carry over sea expresses,
or lead armies^ which they could doubtless do [let
ter in Bloomers than in petticoats. But we had
Tietter leave these departments of business, we
think, to “ American Detr,” Harnden dt Co., and
Oen. Scott. “ Leastways that is our opinion,” as
‘‘the Nipper” would say.
A young gentleman, in describing the effects of
bis first waltz, says that for fifteen minutes he ap
peared to be swimming in a sea of rose leaves with
a blue angel. This soon changed, he says, to a
delirium of peacock feathers, in which bis brains
got so mixed with low-necked frocks, musk and
melody, that be has fefl on flutes ever since.

To Kill Cockroaches.
Mix equal quantities of red lead and Indian
meal vyith molasses, making it about the cansis
tency of paste, ft is known to be a certain exter
minator of roaches. A friend, who was troubled
with thousands upon thousands of them, rid his
house of them in a very few nights by this mixture.
Put it upon iron plates and set it where the ver
min are thickest, and they will soon help them
selves without further invitation. Be careful not
to have any article of food near where you set the
mixture.
An Interesting Story.

to his hopeful heir, of ten years, whom he had over
heard using profane language. ‘Snon. mme shon,

Now, mme shon, shall it be a drue shtory or a

A ltu>band’« Revenge.
The Cleveland 1’lain dealer says:—A well known
citizen of Lucas county returned a tew days ago
from California, where he had been spending the
past three years. Conceive, if you can, his aston
ishment when he found that a little stranger scarce
ly six weeks old, had been added to his household.
He was transported with rage at this slam upon
his honor; he saw all his fond hopes of domestic
comfort dashed to the ground, and immediately set
huusell about the work of vengeance. He learned
the name of his wife's seducer, who had secreted
hunsell on hearing of the husband’s arrival. He
hunted after him for several days, and at last fer
reted him out and shot him down like a dog. The
wounded man is not expected to recover.
Arithmetic of War.
It is very difficult to credit, or ade juailey con
ceive even, the well-attested statistics of war.—
W hen such a philosopher as Dick, or such a states
man as Burke, bnngs before us ms estimate tit the
havoc which this ciialbin has made of human hie
in all just time, it voeraa utterly incredible—al
most inconceivable; and stilt more are we stagger
ed by the formidable array of tig urea employed to
denotv the sun-total of looney squandered on hu
man butchery:
Baron Von Reden—perhaps the ablest statisti
cian of the a«e—tells us in a recent work of his
that the continent of Europe alonmow has full
four millions of men under aims- move than half
its population—betwe- n the Aft I of twenty and
thirty ; and that the support of these immense
preparations for war, together w th the interest
and eost of collection and disbursement on the ag
gregate of iu war debts, amounts to more than one
thousand millions of dollars a year. Let any ioau
try to form an adequate conception of what is
meant by either of these sums, and he will give up
the effort in despair.
The Baron estimates the war debts now resting
on the Slates of Europe at #7,418,000,1X10. How
shall we realize what this enormous sum means?
Shall we couut? At the rate of #50 a minute, teu
hours every day, for three hundred days in a year,
it would lake mure than eight hundred years barely
to count the present war debt of Europe alone.
Let us look for a moment at what England
wasted (or war from the revolution in 1488 to the
downfall of Napoleon in 181$. The sum total,
besides all that she spent upon her war system in
the intervals of peace, was #10,15)1,000,000 ; and
if we add the interest oil her war debts contracted
in that period the grand total will reach nearly
#17,000,000,000 ! At #80 a minute, for ten hours
in it day, or fSd.OOO a day, and S00 days in a.year.
it would require inure than 1.614 years to count it
all. Add an average of 490,00(V«104 year for the
eurrent etpen.se of her war establishment since
tS15, an aggregate of t'J.SOO.000.(100 in these
thirty years, and we have a sum total of nearly
twenty thoummd mill mu.' No wonder that the.
Old World u reeling and staggering under the bur
Jen of such enormous espenditures for war pur
poaea.
Twenty thousand millions of dollars! It is
nearly thirty times as much as all the coin now
iopposed to be in the world, and if the #30,000. •
500.000 were all in silver dona's, snd placed in

Take cold, indeed! He doaen’t look like one o(I
the sort to take cold. Besides, he'd better have,
taken cold than our umbrella. Do you hear the |
rain? And, as I'm alive, if it isn’t Saint jSuri
(bin’s day! Do you hear it against the windows’
Nonsense; you don’t impose upon me. You can’t

hear it, 1 say Oh, you do hear it! Well, that's
a pretty flood, l Ihtnk, to last for six weeks; and
nostirrin? all the time out of the bouse. Pooh'
Don't think me a loofy Mr. Caudle. Don't insult
me. He returned the umbrella! Anybody would
think you were born yesterday. There—do you
hear it’ Worse and worse! Cats and dogs, and
for six weeks—always six week*. And no um

“ I should like to know how the children are lo
get lo school to-morrow. They shan’t go through
such weather, I’ui determined. No; they shall
slop at home, and never learn anything—the bless

when they grow up. 1 - under who they’ll have to
thank for knowing nothing—who, in.Jeed, but their
father ’ People who can’t feel for their own chil
dren ought never to be lathers.
But 1 know why you lent the umbrella. Oh.
yes? I know very well. I was gom; out to lea at
dear mother’s to-uurr >w—you knew that; and yon
did it on purpose. Don't tell im ; you hate me to
go there, and take every nm-an advantage to hin
der me. But don’t you think it, Mr. Caudle, No,
sir; if it comes down in bucke's-fiil), I'll go ail
the more. No: and I won’t have a cab’ Where
do you think the money's to dune from’ You’ve
got nice high notions at that club of voars! A cab
indeed! Cost me sixteenpence at least—sixteen
peiu.id—two an 1 eightpt nee, for there’s bark a
im! Cabs, imbed! i should like to know who's
to pay for'em! I can't pav for 'em; and I’m sure
you can’t, if von go on as you do ; throwing away
your property, and beggaring youf children—buy
ing umbrellas!
“ L'oyou hear the rain, Mr. Caudle? I say, do
you hear it’ But 1 don’t care—I’ll goto mother’s
to-morrow: I will; and what’s more, i’ll walk
every step of the way—and you know that wiii
give me my death. Don’tcall me a foolish woman
—it's you that's the foolish man. You know I
can’t wear clogs; and with no umbrella, that’s
sure to give me a cold—it always d>>es. But what
do you care for that’ Nothing at all. I may be
laid up for what you care, as I daresay l shall—
and a pretty doctor’s bill there’ll be. I hope there
will! It will leach you to lend your umbrellas
again. I shouldn't wonder if 1 caught my death;
yes: and that’s what you lent the umbrella for.
Of course.
“ Nice clothes I shall get too, trapesing through
weather like this. My gown and bonnet will be
spoilt ;oiie. Need’nt 1 wear them, then' Indeed
Mr. Caudle, I shall wear em. No, Sir, I’m not
going out a dowdy to please you or nnybody else.
Gracious knows ! it ms't often tha! I step over tin
threshold; indeed. 1 night as well he a slave al
oiice,—better, 1 should say. But when 1 do go
out, Mr. Caudle, 1 choose lo go as a lady. Oh!
that rain—if it isn’t enough to break in the win
dows.
“ Ugh! I do look forward with dread for to-mor
row. How 1 am to go to mother's I’m sure I can’!
telL But if 1 die I’ll do it. No, sir; I won’t bor
row an umbrella. No; and you shan’t buy one
.With great emptauu .) Mr. Caudle, if you bring
home another umbrella, I’ll throw it in the street.
I’ll have my own umbrella or none at all.
“ Ha ! and it was only last week 1 had a new
nolle put to that umbrella. I’m sure il I'd havt
know as much as 1 do now, it migh' have goto

other people to laugh at you. Oh, it’s all very
m il for you—you can go to sleep. You've n
thought of your poor pai;enl w fe, and your own
dear children. You think of nothing bat lending
umbrellas'
“Men, indeed—Call themselves lords of the
creation !—pretty lords when they can't take care
of an umbrella !
“ 1 kuow that wa’.k to morrow will lie the death
of me. But that’s what you want—ihen you may
go to your club, and do as you tike—and then,
nicely ray pour dear children will be used—bui
then, sir, ihen you’ll be happy. Oh, don't tell me
1 know you will. Else you d never have lent thi
umbrella !
•• You have to go on Thursday about that sum
mons ; ami, of course, you can't go. No, indeed
i you don't go without the umbrella You may Iom
the debt for whai 1 care—it won’t be so much ai
spoiling your clothes—better lose it: people de
serve to lose debts who lose umbrellas.
“ And I should like to know bow I'm to go ti
mother » w ithout the umbrella,' Oh, don't tell in
itial 1 said I would go—that's nothing to do witl
it! nothing at all. She'll think I'm neglecting her
and the little money we were to have, we ahan’
have ai all—because we’ve no umbrella.
“ The children, too! D<-ar things ! They’ll b»

The Democratic Kf»ic» for June ha* another
of it* chnrac. eristic onslauglia upon abolition.—
From it we quote the followingnatWfllli believ
ing with the writer that *' The South should know
just how the matter stands
We do not s[>eak unadvisedly when We My
that the Slave-Question, ao far from being put at
rest, is daily becoming more and more Ute topic of
discussion at the North, mid in exactly those
tniarters w hence the greatest mischief will arise.
Those who tell iis that the • ‘ Abolitionists’* are
hut a feeble and insignificant bodv of fanatics
whose numbers are stationary, if not decreasing,
premediatt deception. Tbev know the contrary,
and are, in truth, the very one* who intend to
profit by their growth of numbers. Weqjay be
accused of wishing to re-open the dispute which
it is imagined Congress has aiiayed. Wo^ld that
it rested with us. It does not, nor with toy one
man, nor ten thousand. The South should know
just how the mauerstamls. It is treachery to bur
southern fricuds, and a crime against truth'and
the republic, to conceal what, cun, be guarded
against only by being known."
Some of the doings of the abobbomsts are thus
boldly set forth :
These “ friends of the slave,” as they are term
ed, have organized themselves into a band of ne
gro thieves' and all the North well knows this,
and other tacts of which we speak. They have
established "vigilance committees” in every taros
town snd city, wbase-duty it is instantly to nobly
each other of the arrival of a Southerner with bis
servants across the imaginary line of1 freedom !
They have also imposed upon theao commiltees
the cheerful duly of dogging the footsteps of both
masters and servants while they remain, m order
to seize the roost favorable opportunity tu hurry
the slave by Iraud or force, with his tree will or
without it, Irom his owner s hands I They navs
raised a permanent fund to support lect.iera and
other age ms nr. the North and West, and tbeaa
are constantly employed, by stipulation and of
ready will, m vilifying the South and ita public
wen! and still farther, in slaude. mg every lover of
truth and justice who has the courage to expose
their falsehoodsThey have sent emissaries,
white and black, into the border State*, secretly
to entice slaves to escapar, and to aid them with
advice and weapons of defence* limy have pub
lished masses of incvtidrary lithographs, wvod
cu;a, and illustrated pamphlets, a id dislrikuted
them by stealth to slaves along the whom course
of the Ohio and Mississippi, and in all the Atlan
tic ports, and inland towns, wherever the oppor
tunity of travel nax occurred: They have pat
themselves into close communication with the
black servants of northern hotels in the cities and
watc-ing places, so that their surveillance over
the movements of Southerner* is complete! They
have, by these and numberless outer method*, in
the last twenty years, lust many thousand slave*
to the southern pluuters, and by thus exasperat
ing them, arrayed one portion of the republic
against another! They have striven to carry thu
ill-blood into politics, and, in part sueceded 1—
They raised a sloriu which was like to have over
whelmed l tie country with desolation! And now,
when a wise law is instituted to wall up one
source of danger, they have armed the more ignor
ant and brutish portion ol the furtive and runaway
negroes, and encouraged and impelled them to re
sist the execution of that law even to blood!_.
And within a ft!w weeks, in a .large and opalent
and enlightened city, have raised a mob of the*e
human b'uteg, and violated the sanctity of a court
of justice! dot municipal or provincial, but a
court called and held under the supreme authority
