Mr. Johnson, the colored man The na-no of Judge R. S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, ia mentioned in connection with the Senatorship. Judge Taylor is an able lawyer and a gentleman of verv hiirh standing. It is u . - a great satisfaction to know that all of the gentlemen mentioned as successors to Senator McDonald are worthy and well qualified. The genial face of tho Hon. B. K. Higinbotham, of Frankport, was visibleonour streets Monday. Judge , , j TT JIlglUDOtham, by the way, and lion, R. O. Hawkins, of this city, were the fwn InHiftn.i (lelßfrates who cast their I 0., votes in the Chicago Convention tor the Senatorial struggle in this State. We stinnosfl it is tho nuiet that DreLegere cedes tho storm, lhe meets in January, and from now on there is likely to be a "mounting in i.i ti i ii i i; il noi naste, ana a -marsnuiing oi me clans" that will simply be astounding ... i i ato the uninitiated. Ill the meantime We say, on with the dance; let thejoy bo unconfined and the struggle-unlimit ed and unrestricted. General Schofield says it was ab90 surd that the newly emancipated slaves could compete with white men, and immediately thereafter he says one did it, referring, of course, to Lieutenant Henry 0. Flipper, of tho 10th Cavalry. This is lie No. 2 for Schofield. Lieutenant Flipper pos sesses ability of a high order. He withstood the prejudice and ostracism of West Point, graduated with honor and i3 honorably serving his country on the plains. The North Carolina bulldozers did not succeed in getting possession ot Perry, the exodus leader. The Washington Court before which the case was tried, decided that there was really no case against Perry, and that his enemies in that State simply wished to punish him on trumped up charges for the part ho took in the emigration movement last winter. They will learn down in North Caro lina after a while that the fugitive slave law has been abolished. The death of Governor 'Williams slightly increases the Legislative and Senatorial entanglement. The Sen ate is supposed to be a tie, and Lieu tenant Governor Gray, who now be comes Governor, would have had the casting vote in the organization. But his succession to tho Governorship leaves the Senate, it is claimed, a tie, without any one to cast the deciding vote. Now both Houses of the Leg islature must organize before the re sult of the election is finally and J 11 1 1 At omciauy canvasseu, ana tne new Governor and Lieutenant Governor inaugurated. It w ill be readily seen, therefore, that if there really exists a tie in the Senate, about which there is some doubt, and there is an obsti nate struggle over the organization, matters may become slightly becloud ed and complicated. THE WEST POINT INFAMY. General Schofield resorts to downright lying to defend himself and the snobs at West Point. He asserts that the treatment colored men re ceive at West Point is as good as that received elsewhere. He then admits that the cadets would not speak to cadet Whittaker and that the officers had to force them to permit him to at at the same table. If there be a candid man in the land who doubts the charge that Schofield has resorted to down-right, malicious lying to

At these institutions, attended by young men from the wealthiest, as well as the poorest classes of society, who pay ther way or work it, colored men are treated with the courtesy due from gentle men to gentlemen and like other students have among their white associates a circlo of intimate personal friends.

So il doe8 not 8em trange though it comes wtth exceeding bad grace, that the foremost iournal of our nartv of nroeress - - s - CD and reform, should join hands with the southern planters, who did their level best to depopulate the southern fields, ar.d endeavor to throw cold water on all or any movement looking towards that end. N. Y. Rumor. We have not read the Times article ref errd to in tho above clipping, and trf tu therefore know notnincr about its merits. We are rather surprised, however, to see tho Rumor or any other reputable newspaper published in the interest of oui race, reprem m manaing any person or newspaper for opposing Nejjro emigration from this country to Africa. It has been one of the chosen objects of Tho .Leader ever since its foundation, to do all in its power to destroy this foolish and wicked scheme of Liberian emigration, and if we have contri buted anything to that end, we shall consider our laborors not in vain, if we never accomplish any further good, u o are extremely sorry to see a new paper capable of doing good which wo think Rumor might, giving aid and comfort to this infamousiy, neianous scneme. we are confident that upon reflection, it will change iti course. We have nothing to say against the republic of Liberia. On the contrary we hope it may do well and prosper. But against the African colonization society we have much to say. Every unbiased person who is acquainted with its history believes that it has been an enemy of the Negro race, and all the more dangerous, too, because it came to him in the insidious shape of a friend. From its very inception, in 1820, to the destruction of African slavery in this country by the war of the rebellion, it was an ally and coworker of that damnable institution. It was founded in the idea that Negroes could not live in this country except as slaves. Its lying, hypocritical, mendicant agents, through their success in deception and trickery, have deluded to a premature death thousands of men and women, who, had they remained in America, would have lived to a ripo old age and been useful to themselves, their families, and their country. In fact the only success this society has had, has been in studding the narrow strip of West African Territory known as Liberia, with graveyards thickly planted with the bodies of unfortanate American Negroes, who have been lured from their homes by this colonization sy ren's song of destruction, only to die among strangers in a strange land. Volumes might be written of the rime and infamy of which th colonization society has been guilty; and of the misery suffering and woe it bai

caused We sincerely hope the day

is not far ahead when every American negro will treat its currupt emissaries as unworthv of the confidence and es teem of honorable men. A. Glluipae of Wordaworth I Harper. A little beyond this we went to seek out an ancient inn, which bore the name of "The Mortal Man," and which was said to have a curious old sigD. representing two men one iai aua joiiy, we omer n&erirarci.

Vnd whn ma3tef ftnd m'i8tregg wanted trftTel Mr. Wordsworth was a plain-looking man, o I lit if e y y Wlin "1Q,iac ana leaiures espec a iy face and large features, especially a pretty big nose. He lived very plainly. used to talk with me kindly and familiarly, and I had a warm anection for him. lie liked to be out of doors whenever he could. Sometimes he was picking up things to look at them, and then he was talking to things in a very queer way. I can see him now, following a bumblebee all over the garden; he puts his hands behind him this way, and then bends over toward the bee. and whereever it went he followed, makin? a noise like it 'Boom-oom-eom-oon.' " Isaac imi tated the action and the sound perfectly, but said he could never get the bee's sound so well as Mr. Wordsworth had it "He wouW tlck to tnat bee lone na long, until weni away; you might go away and r.ome bank and tili vou would see him Piding after that bee, with his mouth down toward it. and hear his 'Boom-oom-oom But there was nothing he diin't take notice of. I don t remember so well his friends who used to come and see him; the one I remember most was Mr. Hartley Coleridge, who was a little fellow carried his head on one side. I remember well Professor "Wilson; he was a splendid man. very active and strong. 'The Mortal Man' was his favorite inn over here; but tba. was before my time." Samanthy's Elopement. "Yes," said the old lady, as she wiped her eyes and proceeded to tell the sym pathizing neighbor about the elopement of her daughter. "Yes, Mrs. Ihbbs, you may well say it ar a dreadful stroke. 1 ain t had such another shock sense that last spell o' rheumatiz. To think that a darter of mine would do such a thing. after all the cares an' affection me an' her father have ravished on her, from her infan cy up. I couldn't bear up under the affliction nohow but for the conserlation of religion. Religion is powerful enervating "Did you not suspicion that they contemplated such amove?" asked the neighbor. 'No, we never suspicioned nary contemplation. After I'd run the conceited upstart off the premises with the mop, I didn't think he'd have the insurance to speak to Saraanthy agin. An' she seemed to appear so consigned that I never respected her of having any underhand ontentions. But all the time so Ive heard since they used to meet clandestinely, when I though t Samanthy was at meetin', an' decoct their plans to run off an' elope. Well, Samanthy has made her bed, an' she'll have to lay on it I wash my hands of the ungrateful girl, from this time forth-with.'-"Did you make any effort to intercept therr ? "No, you see, we didn't know it, or else we'd intercepted 'em within an inch o' their lives." "I mean did you try to have them stopped when you fouud they had gone?" "Yes, indeed. Father telescoped to five or six towns, an' give their prescriptions cost hira Jots . of money, too; but he said he wouldn't mind spendln' the pripe of a cow to git her back. But we never heerd from them, an' I told father to let 'em alone, an' they'd come home after a while, with five or six children behind 'em. But I tell you, Mrs. Bibbs, they shan't set a foot in this house except over the dead body of my defunot oorpse. You jest remember that!" Ilei-oliim on tbe Rail. Another of those occasions which show the stuff locomotive engineers are made of occurred in California last month. A special train from Sacramento, with a regiment of soldiers on board, was turned from the track by an open switch at Oakland Point, and sent off the wharf into the bay. Rather, the whole train would have made the plunge but for the self-sacrificing pluck of the engineer, who stood at his post, reversed, and applied the air-brakes so effectually that only the engine and tender went into the water. He lost bis lifo, of pourso, being imprisoned in the cab with no chance of escape after leaving the wharf. He might have jumped and saved himself, but thought only of the 300 lives behind him. The decision of the moment saved them and sealed his fate He bore the plain name of William Brown. His mother was patting on her slipper again when he brushed away the tears, and affectionately caressing the place that smarted worst, asked between his sobs, "M-ma, d-do you k-know why I-I-m like little M.-mary?' She looked at him cross-ways without speaking, but he answered it: "B-becauiel. 1 had aM-ljttlelam'

The Garfield at Washington. rCorresDondence Boston Herald. 1 Quietly, but with the truest kindness, has Mrs. Garfield presided over her modest house at the corner of Thirteenth and I streets in this city during the years since General Garfield purchased it. In it she has entertained, often in the simplest style. but 'ever with old-fashioned, true-hearted hospitality, all of wit, wisdom, beauty that Washington has had during the years f be has been here, she is an accomplished hostess, as well as an accomplished woman they're two very different things. Living as the Garnelds have had to live, in the most economical way, doing without elegant clothes, fine furniture, sumptuous food, good, new, and rare old books, dearer than all else to them, they have contributed more to make Washington winter life pleasant and profit able than many other families who have suplemented less taste and culture with more money. Mrs. Garfield's receptions have been the largest ever held by the wife of a mere Representative. They have far surpassed those of more ambitious Senators wives, and have approximated those of the ladies of the supreme court ana cabinet families, in size merely. In attractions' they have stood abreast of any of them. This simply because Mrs. Garfield ia a sweet tempered, cultured, refined woman, in whose smile it is a pleasure to bask. When we consider that, without allowing her manifold cares to interfere with the per formance of her social duties, she has man aged her establishment alone and personally conducted the training of her boys for col lege, we can conceive her superiority, with all her social success, to the mere "society leader." General Garfield is the President of our Literary Society, and during the past year it has met at his bouse. It was more pleasantly entertained there than it had ever been before. Mrs. Garfield exerted even her latent social powers that night. and it was difficult for her guests to break away from her delightful parlors.

I She has brought over with her a whole train de maison for private use, as well as her company, and seems, in short, to have de cided to make herself as comfortable as possi ble while traveling until next May. When hack in Europe she proposes to stay on the boards as little time as possible, and then to retire for good, in order to pursue her artistic labors. She remarked to the writer that the Comedie Francaise, at Paris, had already solicited her re-engagement and that she might or might not accept it on her return home. Meanwhile, she is given over exclusively to her main profession, though she expect to work a little in clay, and desires above all things to model a bust of Longfellow. "They tell me he has a fine headl" New York has seemed to her quite European in many respects reporters and climate included; though, perhaps, the new soil has exercised a greater electric influence over her large nervousness. "I suffer," said the lady, "from the least bit of cold, especially in my throat, and take remedies to quiet my neryesj but yet I can do twice as much work as those who have only physical strength, because it is moral that prevails over physical forces. I have been chiefly struck in my impressions of this city by the absence of carnages in waiting at the doors of large stores, In Paris the Louvre shop sometimes collects as many as 400 carriages, ladies preferring to shop by driving from store to store, in accordance with the etiquette that prevents the 'dames corame-il-faut' from walking in the streets abandoned to the demi-monde which, by the way, is another prominent lacking here in the streets and public places, so differently from the Parisian custom. The thea trt here seem very well indeed, only J da

not think their system of only a few boxes would suit society at Paris, where isolation

at the theater is preferred to close packing." "Do we go to Canada, Mr. Jarrett?' 1 "Yes, we do!" "Then I'll buy some furs there in the rough state and have them dressed in rans. (Mr. Jarrett remarks lust here that all the skins in Canada are sold and shipped to London for market preparation.) 1 do not think it will be too cold.

Here is some music dedicated to me. Now please say (to maid) that I do not have any time to attend to musical matters just at present. (Resuming) We must not be uncivil when a civil answer can be returned, so I do not think the composer should be strangled, as must come to my reception (the first) I next Saturday evening, and if you ever reIVTnna lorrort I laiifrfunorl iri mercroars l nil turn to 1'aris I II take measure in snowing I you my two studios of painting and sculp ture in my hotel.

With this parting salute, after the butler had announced the pro verbial "Madame est servie!" for dinner, the writer bowed himself out of the flowerdecked parlor. New Books e-t the Public Library.

TH0SE PIGEONS.

How Madame Garetta Kdncates and Controls Them. St. Louis Evening Chronicle. The ladies who visited the Olympic Theater this week have been surprised and charmed with the wonderful exhibition of the control kindness may exert over animals in the charming performance of Mme. Eugenia Garetta and her pigeons. On the bill the madaine is styled the beautiful Charmeuse depiereons." Nothing mnld ... .. "Pr; , Deiier Un the Stace amars a r w - beautiiul woman.

She tosses them into the

While holding them thus the male makes love to his prettv sweetheart, The wonder is, how does she manaee them? I a nronicie reporter was accorded an interview with Madame Garretta and her husband at their quarters at the St James. Their room resembles a small menagerie. They have pet dogs, a monkey and two lcagesfned with pigeons, How did you siicceed me educating these "" Y"M6"v.i "By kindness and patience." she said. "I believe that the most untamable can be controlled by kindness. Feople have said, 4Oh, she starves them to raake them obey her.' This is not so; it is all Jone by kindness." "now long have you been trainine them?" "I got my first pigeon in Berlin three years ago. 1 found that the best people in Europe, especially ladies of rank, paid much attention to the training of birds. I thought I would introduce a pigeon into one of my gobble acts. I soon trained one auueu vo my iamuv until now J J J A. m 1 . I have 20. I gave exhibitions at Paris for a long time. They were a sensation at the Hippodrome. Lvery paper in the city gave uic wmyiiiiitruiary nuueea. ine uarivan rr ir nn a parrrinn ronrncon ri r rr ma oi miniature bourse on my head, with pigeons flying toward it. Each pigeon had a face the caricature of some noted member of the great stock board. I only brought them to this country in August last" While Madame Garretta was conversing the pigeons were making a great fuss cooing and calling, and some came out of their cages and were flying around the room. "Come here, Dick; JTZ DHU, 1UIU, UUII b LTC UllUgUlJ, IVBIC, BUC would say, and at once the birds addressed would obey her. "They seem to understand my voice and always obey me, but they pay no attention to anyone else. My husband and little boy may call them, but they pay no attention to them. In the morning when the servants come in to make the fire. and when my husband rises thev remain quiet, but the moment I raise my head from tne pillow as if to rise, they all get into a commotion, and show that thev want me to notice them." Mme. Garretta said she could only say that she did not know of any secret in taming the birds. Anyone can do the same with other birds if they have the patience and use kindness. The birds are nearly all common pigeons; some are of fancy breeds. One pair of Antwerp carriers cost her $50. She has never lost any from death. One strayed away in Paris and was never found. She says there are several clever imitators of the art. Mme. Nelson, who saw her ferformance in Paris, traveled last year witli Barnum. This lady has often been confounded with Mme. Garretta. The madame is quite youthful, and has been on the stage ten years. She is a native of Boston. Her husband is a New Yorker, and was a bookkeeper in a Wall street broker's establishatent "WrmlgnS 'Hon Nolo." "H ck "ix." "Plocola." And oftimea the simple kind who seemed Ambitionl ss, arrayed in humble garb. While round hira spreading, fed hit harmless flock, Sitting was ieen by some wild rambling brook.

With preserving wondrous industry; And hoping, as he toiled amain, and saw The characters take form, some other wight, Leng after he was dead and in the grave, Should loiter there at noon and read his name. Pollock. "What's In a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare. Mr. Editor. True it is that the search for fame, the strife for earthly glory is a mortal and therefore a pardonable weakness, and the literary vandal, with heart steeped in envy and pen dipped in gall, who delights in belittleing the efforts of great, though it may be precocious minds, deserves not the fellowship of his neighbor while living, nor the service of "book and bell" when dead. And yet, lamentable fact, we look in vain for a single name in the annals of literature sacred or profane, of science and the arts that has not been at sometime hawked at and torn by these vampires of human progress. For, like weeds of rank and noxious growth, they abound in every clime, have existed In every age, springing up where least expected, flying a flag of darkness and hurling a "free lance" of devastation. Him, "who spake as no man spake," who's life and death on earth was the incarnation of an immortal principle, beyond price or barter, was still yet not great enough, or divine enough to escape or ward oft tbe barbaric shafts of irony and ridicule, which assailed him thick and fast in his mortal life and stopped not for the grave, but declared his resurrection a farce, his divinty a lie. The "Iliad" will live forever as the Greatest and the first of epic poems, perhaps, ut what a commentary on the genius of the author and the immortality ot his sublime production, is the fact that the coldness of the critic and the uncongemahty of the age, compelled the great Homer to become a wandering mendicant in different lands. Demosthenes, whose claim to the title of the greatest of orators has never been superceded or taken from him, and who spent his genius and wasted his vitality in the service of his country, ceuld not escape his share of envious ire and spileful malediction. The charges of cowardice and venality were hurled upon him. until at last, succumbing to nature, he died of a broken heart. If no man spake like Jesus, certainly no man wrote like Shakespeare; and justly did thfl great Jeffrey speak of him in saying: "More full of wisdom and ridioule and sagacity than all the moralists and satirists that evel' existed, he is more wild, airy and inventive, and more pathetic and fantastic than all the poets of all regions and ages of the world, All his excellencies like those of nature her self, are thrown out together; and instead of interfering with, support and recommend each other. His flowers are not tied up in farlands, nor his fruits crushed into basket", ut spring living from the soil, in all the dew and freshness of youth." Such was the opinion of Lord Francis Jeffrey, the great est of English reviewers, on the greatest philosopher of the human heart and mind of anv age or clime, an opinion which did honor to the giver and justice, though tardy, to the immortal bard. For who does not know ef the obscurity which for years of his life, hedged him about and around.a plebian. a scene shifter, a call hoy, and poacher by urns, in the elegant parlance or his con temporaries, he comes down to us through the medium of his works, a God of Gods a giant among lilllputians, in all intellectual comparative sense, despite the detraction

and villiflcation that pursued and assailed him ia his earliest efforts. And, indeed, Mr. Editor, as you prbps have long ago observed, in perusemg the annals of great lives, it does certainly seem that there is an especial and distinct penalty attached to him or her who may be unfortunate or fortunate nough to possess that pari ticular quality of mind called genius. Still there may be more phantasy than fact in my speculations on this point, and if eo time.

perhaps, will demonstrate it; yet, as I feel to-day, I would not exchange my humble, obscure state, unwept, unhonored and unsung" as I am, for the deathless fame of a Virgil, Dante or Angelo, and be dead, (for wnat is iame wnen one is aeau i ; or lur vue dawninf? elorv of a "Wraicn'' a Non aiive with the conciousness which they ;i . - t "o 01 souw, wnicn must iaa to li?exr lot.8 ere thev reach the da2aling and SiaaJ pmnacie oi greatness tnai seems 10 await them. Still, understand me. Mr. Editor, I do not wish the "Wraign" dead and buried, nor "Non Nolo" or 4Hack,w and further I would not have "Lex" vexed no more than I would say to 'Piccola" in tragic whisper, "get thee to a nunnery" simply because I feel I would not be one of them, and be alive, for it is not a epirit of petty jealousy because of the vastness and breadth of their intellectuality, as compared to a plebian like mytelf, that wrings the above confession f rom my lips. But that other spirit of beautiful humility, which teaches me that I am far from being able in my gentle and mild mental composition to endure the barbs of "man's inhumanity to man," which they are fated to endure ere they finish their flight of tracscendant genius. Some one has said of Byron: He touched Ida barp and uatlont heard eotrssced, At seme van river of unfailing source, Rapid exhaaitleta deep hi numl r flowed. And opaed uew foautaiuain the human heart Where fancy halted weary in her flight, In other men, fresih as morning roe And eoared untrodden heights, and seemed at hom Where ang-els bashful looked. Ah, what a portrait; grand, sublime, great. And in the light of the past literary efforts of the "Wraign tbe "Non JSolo," the "Hack," the "Ljex," and the gentle Piccola," how very natiral it was ma w., f th n miration me. which I bore them, to pluck it in its entirety and beauty, from the wreath of immortelKs that rests upon the brow of its author and dedicate it with loving hands and throbbing heart to them. For more than once during the summer which has just left us, with all its pomp, and glory, and sunlight, and shaic, hnve thev one an collectively placed the finer sensibifitiesofmy heart and mind under tender obligations to them. More than once "By the rivers of Babylon I could have sat down and wept." In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let ui urge the subjects of this sketch to press on, even though it has been wrote that "Tbe paths of glory Lad but to the grave," Macauley, Addison, Irving. 'liath" and Stowe succeeded, and eventually wore the oaken crown, and if euch as those could win the mead of enduring distinction, how easy a task it will be for the "Wraign' the 4,Non Nolo," the "Hack." the "Lex," and the "Piccola" to do tbe tame We have warned them against the coldness of the world, genc-rally, towards the species of genius th-y posses; we would therefore be criminally neglectful did we fail to speak mildly of the pernicious habit that most of our young writers have of making too many drafts upon their versatile and cintilating genius. Therefore beware ofthat. And f peak kindly of each other through the columns of tbe Leader; for remember when you appear there, a great many eyes are upon you. What difference should it make to you what sort of a Latin or Greek non de plume your contemporary selects to write over? Stop it. Remember these hints, my glittering itof, and though eventually the wonderful depth and scope of your productions may engender individual ire, and arouse the antagonism of kingi and ruler, you need nut fear or tremble, for you shall not fail. They never fail who w rite vim die in a grett The block may soak tbeir gore; Their heads may aodden iu the sun; Ther limbs be to citr gates and castle walls; But still their spirit walks abroad. W.
