Where is this most dreadful suffering? Who are the bunglifig stqplde, aqd gwindling rascals? Give us a few facts to support. your tremendous rhetoric. Don't you think "the people of this country" would be a great deal better off if Tammany had charge of the administration?

would be a bad thing for the country, and would have a' vicious influence upon the morals of the rising generation, to have it understood that our court houses, and criminal courts, and grand furies, prosecuting attorneys, jails and penitentiaries, were organized, elected and built for the occasional punishment of a poor devil who had stolen a loaf of bread or a pair of breeches and that perjurers, who rob the State treasury of thousands of dollars wrung from the peo* pie by taxation, are to go scot free.—Ind. Journal.

Four years ago next January, "a poor devil" of a boy, eighteen years old, residing in Indianapolis, found himself out of work, destitute of money, and barefooted. He tried hard to get work, but could-find none. Suffering terribly from almost freezing feet, he stole a pair of boots. Six days after this theft, which was his first crime, he was handcuffed to a burly ruffian, marched from the Marion county jail to the Union Depot, and shipped, aa a convict, to Michigan City. If there are "perjurers" who "have robbed the State treasury of thousands of dollars," and if they are permitted "to go scot free and if sufeh a case is contrasted with the one we have sketched, there will be good reason td believe that criminal courts and prisons are intended only "for the occasional punishment of a poor devil"—too poor to buy that exemption from punishment which is within the easy reach of men .of cash and influence. r:!*

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. ..OS

The Untold Lore of Aliee Cary. Alice Cary lived and died a maiden queen of poesy. It has seemed to many impossible that she -should have carried her tender and passionate heart through the social and literary thoroughfares wherein she was called to tread, unpierc^ ed by any amorous shaft. And it was indeed impossible. There is a secret page of the history of the deceased poetess which has never been written, and seldom, of late years, been told. To this, Phoeba Cary briefly and indefinitely alludes in the sketch published in the Ladies' Repository" of last month, and widely copied. The writer says, substantially! therein, that if her sister ever lbved, there is no line in'Jier published "works to tell the tale over the mouth of the sepulchre of her sad experience she rolled the stone never by herself removed. The doubtful "if" half conceals and half discloses tlie truth. It seems intended to stop flying rumors, while refraining from an unequivocal and impossible denial. As the "story can only ser^e a# a1*-foil to the many virtues and amiable qualities of its subject, we need no further excuse for our effort to rescue jhc fragmentary record from the oblivion to which the mistaken and,morbid kindness o( friend* would fain consign it.

When iheCarv sisters made their nrst pilgrimage to the Eastern literary Mecca, Rufus Wilmot Griswold was among their earliest acquaintances. This gentleman was a prominent Iiterateur when men of letters were less numerous in New York than at present. He was born in Benson, Vt.f in 1815, and was, consequently, but about five years the senior of the elder sister. Having been educated as a printer, he became successively a Baptist preacher, .a journalist, and an author. As an editor he presided over the destinies of the "Brother Jonathan" and the "New World, mammoth weeklies the "New Yorker," a. celebrated literary -hebdomadal and "Graham's" and the "International Magazines." To the first month:* ly mentioned he added considerable character. The last resembled "-Harper's Monthly," and was bonght out by the owners of that magazine after a brief existence- In the wider field of letters,: he should be spoken of rather as a compiler than an author. He published various collections of the prose and poetry of England piul.AjimjuBU^ With other authors, several worksof popular biography. No one was better acquainted with the state of the literary* market, or with the publishers of the metropolis, than Mr. Griswold. .The two rural devotees of literature from the Far West were stranger?, and needed a chaperone. He came to the rescue. He gftvethem.spiKce' in Jus books, flattered them, encouraged their hopes, and assisted in finding a market for their wares. Toward Alice he more especially inclined,^. Their first acqnaintance ripened into friendship, friendship into intimacy, and intimacy into love. It was said at last that the parties were solemnly ly affianced. This waB nearly twenty years ago, and Alice had then passed thirty. He was still older, and would seem to have passed the bounds of juvenile folly, if those bounds are.evfr. passed by man. Btit he was a blase citizen bi the world, and she was quiet, retired, sensitive, domestic, and unassuming. 1 rouble

between the two in the shape of a •w'oman of society externally more attractive than Alice' Cary. fhis liaton produced a separation. The engagement was broken and Alice concealing her sorrows, kept' herself more closely at home, and turned her attention more assiduously to her special, labors. The story need not be fully detailed 'here. It has been told over anc^over again, ever since the world has had a literature. in 1857 Rufus

alone. His literary ventures had brought no adequate remuneration, and he had lived a life which it was not altogether pleasant to look back upon. But the sisters hod made many friends, and been reasonably blessed by fortune. The injured woman forgot her wrongs, and forgave the pasrwith a readiness characteristic of her sex, She ctme again to the bedside of the man who had so grievously deceived her, and watched with him day after day. and week after week, as life slowly ebbed away, the sick room waa made cheerful with book*, flowers, and all necessary comforts tad to defray necessary expenses, the money earned by •days*-and nights of labor with-the pen was freely lavished. At last death ended the sufferings of the false lover, and the grave closed over the secret of a woman's sorrow, now for the first time made public.—Chicago Republican.

A 8HOOTING ATFAItU

The Republican has a letter from Favetteville, Ark., stating that on the night ot July 29, some unknown men went, to the house of Judge Galbraith, and fired several shots into his bed room, filling the bed on which he was sleefKng with buckshot, none of whio|i, howaver, took effect on the Judge. It is supposed the affair grew out of the' fact that Deputy Sheriff Gillitan had been committed to jail by Judge Galbraith for contempt of court, in refusing to produce certain books of the county to enable an examination of county affairs, which the court had or-* dered.

Tlie Triljane's Washington correspondent telegraphed, last evening .that nothing additional has occurred •since' /yesterday in the Boutwell-Pleasanton trouble, but it, is known that General Pleasanton will' certainly vacate hin office imftday or two. The change would have been made some days ago,.but for the fact that the Cominis?foner rjegiiested a short delay, for reasons of his own. It is known that the President decided, long ago to make a chabgc in the office, and that he yesterday distihetly asked for Gen. Pleasanton's resignation. Pleasanton has -frequently asserted that he would not design, but since the President has determined on a change, it is thought he will :recpnsider his determination, if he has not already done so. At any rate he is to be displac ed without further delay. Secretary BoUtwell fitated to-day that Gen. Pleasanton would retire in a day or two, and that Deputy Commissioner Douglass would succeed him, but. whether as Commissioner or acting Commissioner, he did hot state. The friends of -Douglass, who include the most extended CongraM influence ever united on a singlfe candidate, are firm ,that he will at once .be appointed Commissioner on G^n.

threatened to discharge him for carrying more than twenty-seven pounds of steam. Ten-years ago, on the Wyoming, he discharged hito for carrying a little too much steam.' He never had occasion to reprimand him for doing .so. since.

fore God that if the engineer had not car ried more than 25 pounds of steam that day, the boiler would not have exploded. Still, 1 have no idea he had more {ban 27 pounds. My presumption is, that if he had:not gone above 21 pounds, the boiler would not have burst. The brewers on the Island have been in the habit of transporting wagon loads .of l**®"1 on board the boat, and I have no doubt the deck hands have been the recipients, of a' portion of (hat beverage., I do not know as there was any on board on Sunday. Several. times I found empty lwg on board. Passengers sometimes give the men liqodr from bottle#. I had suspicion that sttteh might have been the case then, for i-asked if any beer had been on board during that trip. I am perfectly satisfied that the engineer and fireman had none that day. Beer never hvlanythingtodo with that explosion. I did not ask about whisky. The engineer was perfectly sober, so far as I could judge half an hour after the accident.
