IN An Authorized Statement of His Opinions. 5ptcil Difftch t th. CiBdaaati Gxett. Washington, Aogset 11. Gen. Jonah Tttbell, SecreUry of the Republicse Executive Committee of Miss isif pi, h4 iBterriew with tbc President, it the re4ece of Secretary Fish, in New York, on the 6ih init. His ob ject wis to ascertain defaitely toe President's views on politicml affairs in the gon'hp" Slate", and Mississippi epcctaU t. The Preidest expressed his pleasure st the visit, and spoke very freely of the political Mtaation. A brief report of the iaterview was written out; submitted to the President, and is now printed, with tns full appro vai.- It is ss follows: The Freitleht remarked upon the small comber of Republicans !n Mississippi who are erps?ed in the so-called Denl movement, and said that in his jodgment' it coulJ not be otherwise than that they would be used' by the oppostioo, 'meaning the Democrats. With regttd to" recent professions made by those who were lately rebels, th Ptesident was emphatie and frank. His only desire was peace and amity, and be would do anything that was riat to bring that about, bat these peo ple cist suspicion upon their own motives, bj tbe fact that all their efforts seem to be aimed at dividing, not aiding the llepublicnn party in their midst. If : they were really in earnest they would not be So anxious about those with whom they acted. To sincere men it could not be difficult to tell who in the Sooth were, and bJ been, the administration's friends, fie talked at some length on the recent content in Virginia. He thought from Governor Walker's speeches since his election, that that gentleman was fully committed to tbe administration, and honestly intended to act up to them. Referring to the proposal made by Col. Jenkins to unite the two wings of the Republican party, tbe President expressed regret st the aprtrent failure to accomplish so desirable an object; remarking that the letter of Dr. titlmer in reply showed that the followers of Walker were botall in good failh. He still hoped, however, that good would come out of Virginia, but did not at present nactly see how. Recurring again to MinMSMppi, be declared that his sympathies were altogether with the Republicans and against all efforts to divide tliem, coming from whatever source they micht. He spoke warmly in praise ofGen. Ames, the military commander, and said he would late to do much and more serious things than be had heard charged against him before be would subject himself to removal, and that his course was indorsed by the aduiinistration. The interview lasted about an hour, and Gen. Tarbell, as the representative of the radical Republicans ct Mississippi, expressed himself' aa thoroughly mis-fied with the position occupied Dy the 1 restdent. In that connection it may be noted that Ujor offord postmaster at Corinth, j ei me mree leaders in me ueni move- j n enr, was to day removed trom omce by the l'reeident. The District Attorney, another of the three, waa removed about ta days ago. WHAT GRANT SAID TO PEST. The character of Judge Dent's interview with tbe President at Long Rranch, and the substance of the latter's subseo,'ient letter to Dent, has become known, l'ent went over to Long Branch to induce 'he President to support him for Goverw(r Mississippi. Gen. Grant refused e-n the most emphatic terms, said he had o ynifatuy with the movement, and thonld lake an opportunity to make it "own. The letter which followed Dent o Washington was a repetition of the pints ihe President made in still stiongr terms. OtS. CASBT IN WASHINGTON." ken. Can by came up from Richmond to-day, accompanied by his Paymaster, lonel Stanton, on business with the War IT"tment, the principal matter being to procure funds to pay on account of rewngtrtjetion. With General Sherman he jiean informal call on the President. e latter asured him that he cordially 'stained the course he was taking in 'ireinia. General Canby holds that be nn0t comply with the law without exiting the test oath f all new officials, id he will require it. A few days ago ' ddressed a circular to those members ' the Legislature just elected, asking w to inform him whether they could 'ke the test oath. Hearing of this, Mr. "wis, Chairsaaa of ths Walker Reputes Committee, issued si circular advisJ?g the members elect not to take any now of Gen. Canby's communication. Not to be Done.

The Democratic Candidate in Ohio. The Hon. George H. Pendleton has eome to tbe relief of the Democracy in iheir extremity, and has thrown himself ioto the sad breach left by tbe indisposition f Roseerans, and has consented to accept the nomination for Governor, which ne oetore reiused almost as often as ttc tr did put sway the offered crown. Tester dy the State Central Committee to the Democratic party unanimously tendered to Mr. Pendleton the nomination for Governor, and he accepted it. We may infer that be was much 'urged to accept." The decided demonstration that he was tbe first choice of tbe convention remotes any embarrasment that the commit tee might otherwise have had in making a nomination or he in accepting it: " He deserves well of his party for accepting the nomination, and tbe party is fairly entitled to his services tor this atrait. And : it was also a necessity to Mr. Pendleton, for if be has aspirations for the next nomination to the Presidency, it would cot do to let his party lose Ohio though default of a desired candidate. And whether the State went Republican without him or with him, would have about the same fatal effect on his chances for the Presidential nomina tion. It was a case in which he had everything at stake, ard therefore it was fit and necessary . that he should take the standard. Mr. Pendleton's nomination will make the canvass lively, whereas it threatened to be excessively dull. We know not what views on public questions be may be regarded aa the particular representative of. When be started out for the Pretidency he was mounted on the scheme to issue two or three thousand millions of green backs and take up tbe bonds. The Enquirer issued a mammoth greenback, as big as a window blind, with Pendleton as a vignette, ghastly with green, as a sign of the good time coming. He was named Young Greenbacks. Tbe scheme frightened the New York Democrats, and then Mr. Pendleton began to disclaim the ini flation policy. After Seymour was nom inated he veered the other way again seeming to be desirous that Seymour should be tarred with the green stick. In a speech at Pittsburg, for instance, he argued how nice a thing it would be to have money made so plenty that farmers could get f 5 a buhel for wheat, and 5250 for corn. Where he is now on this subject we know not, ncr whether be will launch out on a policy of his own, of making money plenty, or whether he will limit himself to tbe ambiguous platitudes and dead game of the State platform. The question of the preservation of the public schools has been thrust into out politics, by tbe war declared on" them by j the organs of a body which comprises a larse rart of the Democratic partv. It decfare ,heir poition on this que9tion, of eUnd cll d wish tCl1uieficing in their destruction. What position Mr ruction. What position Mr. Pendle will take on this important subject we know not. We have not been able to get J the Democratic organ, tbe Enquirer, to declare itself on this head. And yet tbe issue has been forced upon the people of Ohio. As a national statesman, Mr. Pendleton is distinguished as one whe did not com prtliend his epoch. When secession be Iran, he was for letting the Union fall to pieces,, without an effort to save it. When not more than two States had passed ordinances of secession, he pronounced tbe Union finally dissolved, and an independent nation established. He opposed every measure to raise men or money for the national delei.se. He argued that we should leave new nation to woik out her destiny. He continued this course all through the war, arguing that the maintenances of tbe Union by force was both unconstitutional and impossible, and that we should withdraw and disband our armies. It is a terrible mistake for a statesman to fail to comprehend his epoch, in matters vital to his country's preservation. It is a iiielancholy reflection tor a state man that, in the only great emergency of his lif e, ihe course which he urged would have led straight to his country's ruin, and that the course which he opposed with all his power saved his country from ruin. So terrible a blunder in a statesman ought to teach him a humility that would be best content in ob?curity. Such a deficiency at a time which tries tbe souls of statesmen ought ever after to cause diffidence in laying down policies to guide a country. Mr. Pendleton has continued to fail to comprehend the time, ile can offer nothing more valuable for the present situation oft lie State of Ohio than he offered to the nation in its war of self preservation. He enters into the canvass in the desperate hope of making Ohio a base for his operations for the Presidency. He can promise no good to the people of the State, His party is bound by no defined principles, andis incapable of undertaking any reform. It has not even the virtues that come easy to the opposition; for wherever there is corruption Democrats are found with their hands in it, and Democratic organs give it their sympathies. It presents to us a representative of all its unfaithfulness to tbe zr w . . . . : nation in its single for life, and of all j it. .uhsaouent recklessness of political

"TRYING FORTUNES

BT ATJRT ALICaV ' Cousin Lucy lived with Grandma Pohsonford, in the country, and Cousin Lucy was going to be married, and setat tip to the city for ns to come to the Wedding. By us, I mean her three cousins "Maud Vance' the stately 1 and pensive,' sged nineteen; "Molly Hunt," the madeip; and myself, "Kate Floid," rathff romantic. I We, tbe last two named, were still school girls, not eighteen, and very fast friends. Now Grandma Pnnsonford was our graodmother aa well aa Lutfy but w were her daughter's children, while Lucy was the child of her youngest ton, and he was dead; so she loved Lucy best. At feast we tnongnt so, out 1 ana sure now she loved ns all. - j And Lucy was going to marry one of our city beaut after all Toung Dr. Craw ford, who had gone to Meadville to com mence practice. Dr. Crawford had been considered quite a catch in the city; even our Cousin Maud had dreamed of him, and now he was goiog to marry our little country cousin! 1 We arrived at Meadville just one week before the day appointed for the wedding, and a merrier set of young girls were never collected in a country-house. Dr. Crawford had informed all the beaux of the neighborhood of our arrival; rides were planned, a fishing party made up, and moonlight walks and flirtations in perspective. Lucv Ponsonford, dear little soul, had ail her sewing completed, and had leisure to play with the best of us, unlike many bridea who keep their friends busy to the last.. During our rides snd walks, Lucy did not hang on to her intended, but gave him up to any one, and was not jealous if we whispered to him. We had Deen introduced to more than a dozen young gents, but only three, besides the Doctor, continued to visit us to the end of the week, so we were soon paired off. John Armstrong, a tall, pale, and interesting yoang lawyer, was given up to Cousin Maud at once. Donald Greer, ths bold and boisterous young Scotchman, was Molly's pet at once, and I claimed Fred Talbot, the school-teacher of Meadville. In two days we were as intimate aa if we had known each other for months. The third day it rained, and even the Doctor did not ride over to call as be usually did, every morning, bo we all gathered in grandma's room to have a chat. She got out her patch work quilts to show us; one a perfect marvel to us, made up of twoinch pieces, put together in the form of stars. The quilt designed for Lucy was called the "rising sun." Begun with a small round piece of a dark orange color, this surrounded by long poiuts of a lighter Bhade, and continuing thus until the outer points had a mere suspicion of yellow in them, it was supposed to represent the rays of the sun. But a quilt must not be round in shape, so it was squared off by putting in a red atai in each corner. "Grandma, bow did you ever have tbe patience to do it?' cried Molly Hunt. "Ah! I took great comfort in making it!" said grandma. "Girls do not do as they did when I waa young, she coouuueu, - they neither work as much, nor play as fast." "Please tell us how you did play," I said, "for we seem so dull." Well," said grandma, "we were not dull in my young days because the beaux did not come; we could find fun without them; but then we did not have those horrid waterfalls, as you call them, to be careful of; we could climb fences, wade creeks, swing on saplings, tell fortunes" Tell fortunes!" we exclaimed, lor that idea struck us as interesting at once. "And how do vou try fortunes, grand ma?" Ob, in various ways; but not in ihe day time; such games are for the night." "Now, grandma," said our pale Maud, as she folded up the rising sun neatly, and laid it on the bed, "do tell us one tcay to try our fortunes to-night." "Oh, we can't try tricks of that kind to-night," said Lucy, "for you know the gentlemen are all coming over to spend the evening." "What if thay do?" said Molly; "they wont stay all night, and 1 hae heard that such things must be done at late hours." 'That is true," put in grandma; "etill there are some such tricks that can be tried when vou are all together." "How? What?" we all asked at once, delighted to find something to arouse us within doors, as it would bo too wet for moonlight rambles. So grandma told us several trials of for" tune, only one of which I will explain now. "You must write the namea of an equal number of males and females on seperate slips of paper, folding each up very small, and separately. Then wet some cornmeal, just so that it will stick together: make it up into little round balls, and place one name in each. , Put these caretully in a basin of cool water, all at one time. The corn ' dumplings will soon open, and will pop the little roll of paper, scarcely wet. These you must secure at once, iwo i a ume, as mey come noaung !"P;ly hem ou the table until all have j r,pen then re,d them off in pairs. U two i Pir,s' names come up together, they are .r .t a .. hound to be old maids; if two gents, old bachelors; and it male and female, they paper, and even a large cbiaabowl to hold the water. Maud sat thickias for a lima. . tha drawing nearer to crandma. said "Now , tell as some way to try our fortuaea late

at night) when' all the co-bps ny have left a.:-. ' - n i 'U ' .1 ;.. ';-. ,.:! , t And grandma described . several modes, pome of them frightful enough.- Of course the throwing of a ball of blue vara into a

welt at midnight was One, but as the Well Was at the foot Of the hill, ' in latly place, we felt we had aot nerve, te .stand tbera alone at the dead hour of night and feet Our intended pail at the other end of the string. ' ! ' ' ' Eating aa apple before a mirror waa anotrter. Jl? it made Tub - tbwajgir ,, tothink of a ghostly face peeping ,-,0, our snoulder. oo that also was given up. We were rather in favor of ealifW an eggshell half filled with exit, that we might dream wrWgave as a driak. ' Bur we were especially -taken! with rfnbt her; ;frt'Je$t. Grandma said she had tried it, and it, all came trne. This decided us; and then two ef trs eoald be together; it would not M so Ibftely.v 1 wanted Molly tf try it with me, but Maud insisted on being ,y partner on that occasion. " The plan was - this. We must seetlfe the bouse ieat in the first place; then, when the clock struck one, we must place a bushel-measure iu. the Riddle of tbe flour, throw open H the dolors ittd windows of a lower room, fake the cat' in our arm's, and one whisper fn one of her ears, 'Who to bring;" the other give another name in pussy'e other ear, and then put iter ubdef the measure, turning It tipside down. Of course the cat would yell. This would bring on a storm' of wind, and in the midst of it those we had namad it the cat's ears would ride up to the open doCf to seek shelter from the atorm. Do vou wonder we were delighted? , Maud seemed very thoughtful all the afternoon, and just before dafik she rathe in from the barn with the bushel -measure in her hands. She tried to steal in slyly, but Lucy and Molly net her ia the hall, and she did not half like their loud laugh ing, for Maud was in earnest. Twilmbt brought our four cavaliers, and with them came Maud's brother from the city, a- splendid looking man. Albert Vance was not Maud a own brother not the same mother so he was not really, our cousin. How Lucy blushed when he entered the room, for they had once been great friends; ehe had spent a winter two years before this at our borne in the city, and we had made up our minds at one time that "Bert" and Lucy were in love with each other; but it ended iu nothing. Of course he was tbe last person Lucy wished to see just now. t After chatting a while then singing and playing for an hour or so, we at last introduced the little game of the corn dumplings. Tbe gentlemen entered into it eagerally, seiiing the papers as they popped up from their soft surroundings, and reading the names in great glee. But bow is this? Not once did Lucy and the Doctor's name coma up together! It was Lucy and Bert always! And how they screamed when 1 came up with Molly twice in succession, and Doj ! 'awd young Armstrong. Lucy blushed deeply when her name was drawn out with Bert's, and Maud grew pale aa we read off her name with the Doctor's. It was all folly, we knew that, but did . . . a w . - a . . . , tl. ipi.i i,..l . llllCUUCUi AIIO II. SI A II UI ULl II H.I ID factory, so we sent away the meal and the water, and sooa after the gentleman left us, having planned a boat-ride for the morning. Molly and Ijticy went off to bed; Maud and myself pretended to do the same, saying we had enough of fortune-telling for one night. We even undressed and put out our light. But al half-past twelte we put on dark dresses and went away very quietly down staits. The long dining-room had two doors opening on to t ftff long, low porch, and here we determined to "whisper to thecal." We threw open the doors; a few clouds were sailing past the moon, but the rain had ceased, and scarcely a breath of wind stirred the leaves. As the clock struck one, holding the pet cat carefully between us, we whispered the names so low that we could not hear each other, and kitty was soon growling and scratching under the measure. Maud held my hand tight as we stood at a window between the two open doors. For five minutes we had stood thus keep, ing perfect silence, when a puff of wind came, theo another, and one of the doors came to with a slam. Now, in ao instant, ihe windows rattled, the trees bent in the wind, and the sound of horses' feet was heard approaching. Well might I be frightened, for I bad none but a ghostly visitor to expect. ; I bad whispered the name of one 1 had dearly loved; but he was sleeping on the battle-field. Still, I looked auxiously out id the storm, and Maud clung to my arm. A white horse came galloping on, nearer and nearer; a manly form sprang from the steed to the porch; Maud left my aide, and throwing her arms round him aa he entered the door, sobbed out "Richard, I knew you would come!" and fainted in the arms of Dr. Crawford! - " I had my senses at once; I .helped him te place ber on a sofa. I released tbe cat. I closed the door, and then turning to the Doctor, I Said "Shall I call any one?"" "No, Miss Flold," he answered as he knelt by the sofa with Maad'a hands ia hie. She opened her eyea at last, and looking up, oh, so pitifully, in his pale face, said "Why did I hot die? Oh, Richard1, let me die!" No, Maud," be said, "yow must ? not die; all will be right yet. 1 have learned this night that which changes all our plans. Lucy does not want me; she loves another; and I love only you."

And Maud pets the old cat when the Doctor is visiting patients: and I think aba has told the Doctor what name she whimpered in pussv'sear the night of tbe great explanation, for be, too, seems very fond of the old cat. - Sortie Pitftes of Love. - Tt is easy enough to cUsslfy ''Istc' bt it ia not ao easy to define it -for one definition Can aot do justice to that which has so many varieties. Thus, to say that love" is the influeoce exerted ovct the ptffsdn by the attractions of another, is to leave mutual attachment unprovided for. If ws say love is the result of equal attractions, ex erted by two persons on each other, we conflict with a law which says that two equal forces can make no imprest tod o!i each other, ' s; Here is a query, then, for everybody who has done with affection.' To make perfect love, must not one of the parlies love more ardently than the othet? Hare you not noticed that young men who are full of ambitious project - always love women of their own agt? The want of a confidante for these young Hercules forces them to take invariably to some women who was weighing matrimonial offers white they were at tbe age of serpent strangling. The young man who puts his affections in thekeeping of a very young girl has got to withhold from her bis sublitner confidences, because she has no place to keep them. Aa a part of this rule it seems that intellectual men always love women who are some years older than themselves, and intellectual "women love men twice their own age. ' Great men ,pend their b'rst years in "adoring" women whom tbey are disposed to call aunt when they get to maturity aud grow idle with success The wives for wise men are certainly those women who have exhausted their girlish caprices on a score of fools. It does not seem Ibat these young men and women, who are born beautiful and win ning, who begin to love at fifteen, who have hundreds of flirtations, a doxeo engagements, and some real affections ia spite of themselves, carry to ibelr futtfrs Lasbauds merely tbc shreds and tatters of a heart. Hsw many spouses have pressed to their bosonts ihOsfl veteran organs, ensrined in tbe freshest forms, and giving no outward cigna of their many desperate campaigns. One of the most melancholy things in nature is the fact that no one loves tbe saruo person twice. It' is impossible to light a fire anew on the hearth, where tbe aobes of some former flame are resting. You may rekindle a slumbering or dying spatk, but if it be dead altogether, your utmost efforts are vain. Those persons who meet again aftor separation; who loved parted married were widowed, and then meet and intermarry, bad not extinguished theembers,but covered them. ' - As a rule, no man marries his first love It is hard to give auy reason for this, except that it seems always have been a fVlCt. - Nothing becomes so terrific after a while as those ' first loves." ' The end of yonng people's infatuation is night mare. Some loves are to be compared to the possession of the famoua bottle-imp, which was first ardently desired, which showered benefits on tbe possessor for a time, and which was gladly sold at last fci half its cost.
