~THE MAD SKATER. _ A Winter’s Tale for Summer ﬁuﬂn;-ﬁ ‘ BY HOMER GREENE. ; The broad bosom of one ‘of eur northern rivers was covéred with a smooth sheet of ice; and, at a point where the stream widens; atter pass--ing th'roué? scenes rich with historic interest, King Winter seemed to hav taken especial delight in spreading a table so attractive as to draw from out their houges nearly the whole population of a thriving village that stood qun its banks. Men, women, and children had turned out. to participate in the delightful sport of skating, or to watch the evolutions of the skatersa. il S T

- It wae, in truth, a grand sight to observe hundreds of both sexes, dress- | ed in various costumes, and gliding rapidly over . ibe smooth translucent surface, whilé shouts and peals of laughter rang mellow and merry on the still night air. A great bonfirey kindled on the ice, sent up its. red flames, thfowing their light far aleng the river over the quiet village nestleﬁ near the bank, glistening from a frosied forest on the' opposite side, and rendering the scene so wild and fanciful, that the skaters, as they glided to and fro, might easily have been mistaken for the: ghostly inhabitants of some | supernaiural world. e “Whatsplendid skaters!” was the exclamation passing through the.crowd, as a young gentleman and lady made their appearance ugo_n the ice, coming uﬁ from the river below. They were skating hand in hand, now backward, now forward, now performing some difficult feat, or whirling around in wide steeping circles. o “Who are they 7"’ was the question asked by many among the spectators. «Kate Clinton and Frank Hill,” was the reply, pointing them out as belonging to the two most prominent families in the neighborhood, whose splendid mansions stood near the river’s bank a little further down. The two skaters who had thus unexpectedly made their appearance, at once became an object of universal attraction and an admiring crowd soon collected around them. ; :

‘Observing thisyand not appearing to like such a’ public exhibition, the young lady whispered some words‘in the ear of her companion, who, suddénly wheeling, so as to face down the river,;and carrying her round along with him, by a few forcible strokes shot ' clear of the crowd, and skated rapidly away from it. - A murmur of disappointment followed their departure, while glances of something like‘disaplproval were cast afier them, as they glided off under the gleaming moonlight. . “They appéar vexed at our leaving them,” remarked the young gentlemen. ' “They don’t often see such an accomplished skater as yon, Kato.”” . «“As yourself, you mean, Frank." Tt was your performance that gave them pleasure. ~And now, I think of it, it was not very gracefal in me to have '-bemftﬁé“caﬁ‘se of disappointing them. Suppose you go back and show them a little more of your skill. Do, Frank; I can stay here till your return.” - .

1 TEE G

“Anything to please you, my dear Kate." e ' sy And so'saying, the young man released the tiny gloved hand of his fair partner ; and, after a few long shots, was once more in the midst of the villagers, gratifying them with the display so much desired. . ' More than five ‘minutes were thus spent, during which time the accomplished skater was repeatedly cheered, and gréeted . with complimentary speeches. Then, bethinking him of the fair creature he had left waiting alone and in the cold, he was about to break off, when the eager spectators entreated him to remain a moment longer, and once more show them a figure that had elicited their most enthusiastic applause. / He consented ; repeated the figure called for; and’ then, resisting all further appeal, with one grand stroke he glided out.from among the spectators, and on toward the gpos where he had left the young lady on the ice, ~ On nearing it, he saw that she was not there, or anywhere in sight! Where could she have gone.to? It occurred to him that while he was entertaining the village crowd, she might have rejoined It, and:become herself one of the spectators. With all speed he skated back again, and quartered the erowd in every direction, scanning the faces and. figures. 8 ; 3

But among them he saw neither features nor form bearing 'any resemblance to those of the ieautiful Kate Olnton. 'L 1« =~ Bhanas Batoy

«“Oh!” thought he, “she’s been playing a little trick to surprise me. She hag slipped in under the river bank ; and WESe I am rushing to and fro in search of her, she is, no doubt, standing in the shadow of a hemlock, and quietly laughing at me.”. - Yielding to this cqnjecture, he once .moré plied his vskateg,fand went back down the river—keeping close alongside the bank, and scanning eyery spot overshadowed l?y_the' dark fronds of the heinloéhs. ti.p 6 - 51 - But no Kate Clinton was there, either in moonlight ox ghadow; nor was there any score made by the skates ~upon:the inshore ice. il Tl It now occurred to" him: that he might discover Whei: she had gone by gett.in§ upon the track of her skates, and following it up/. With this intent, he hastened to the spot where he had lefher standing, | * . On reaching it/ a cold thrill shot through his framzk::f the blood had suddenly frozen within: his veins.. In | addition to the twa sets of skate tracks, lfy by imeelf and tho young lady ‘saw A u, pon the - of & man. 'l'hey were coniused | g R B e AT ST »:.a;' lok : | sioin, thibes shewe 4o sataiab sunight

and'side by ﬂe,as if the skaters had i Thedneion wadons i towards home, . . @ = At a glance Frapk Hill recognized the thin tiny score®eft by the :ﬁ;;’lder steel blades on the feet of Miss Clinton. But the man who had gone ! ;‘l;aﬁng 8o close by her side—who was ? AR i £ ¢ it - A painful suspicion shot through his bra.inl.’ He rmnibered that, :ggrﬂy after leaving the house, they had passed a man upon the ice, who was also on skates. . They had brushed so near him as to see who he was, and in the moonlight had beheld a countenance bearing a most ginister cast. It was the face of Charlés Lansing, whom Frank knew to be a rival suitor for the hand of Kate Clinton. This man had made his appearance in the neighborhood some three months before ; coming no one knew whence. In fact, there was nothing known of him, except his name; and this nu.%l[xt casily have been an assumed one.. He put up at the 'grincipal“h’otel of the village appeared to have money, and to be a gentleman of birth and education. Was Charles Lansing the man who had come to Miss Clinton on the ice and carried her away with him? It could be no other; for Hill now remembered having heard the ring of gkates behind, as they were coming up ithe river from the place where Lansing had been seen, and shortly after they had passed him. ; "ghe first thought of Kate Clinton’s lover was one of the most painful nature. It was, in fact, a bitter pang of jealousy. Had the whole thing been pre-arrgnged, and had she willingly gone away with .this stranger, who, though a stranger to others, might be better known to her! Lansing, if not what might be called a handsome man, was good looking enough to give cause for jealousy. / I{ was a fearful reflection for Frank Hill; but, fortunately, it did not’ long endure. It passed like a spasm; another, nearly as painful, taking its place. He recalled a rumor that had ‘been for some days current in .the neighborhood—of a strangeness observed in the behavior of the hotel guest, that had caused doubts about! his sanity. And more forcibly came back to Frank Hill’'s mind what he had -heard that very morning—how Lansing had presented himself at the house of Miss Clinton’s father, proposed marriage to her, and, when refused, had acted in such a strange ‘manner—uttering wild speeches, and thieats against the life of the young lady—that it became necessary to use force in removing him from the premises. !

Could this be the explanation of the disappearance? Was the maniac now in the act of carrying out the menace he had made—some té#rible mode of vengeance under the wild ‘promptings of fuwanity ¢ ¢ : : The thought came quick, for this whole series of surprises and conjectures did not occupy three seconds of time. - ‘Aud with the last of these, Frank Hill threw all of his strength into a propulsive effort, and shot off like an arrow down the river. - A bend was soon passed, beyond which there was a gtretch of clear ice extending for more than a mile. Away at the farther end,’two forms were dimly discernible; and upon the still frosty air could be heard the faint ringing of skates, at intervals repeating their strokes. S Frank Hill had no doubt about one of these being she of whom he was in gsearch; and nerved by the sight, he threw fresh vigor into his limbs, and flew over the smooth surface like a bird upon the wing. ; : On, past rock, and tree, and hill, and farm houses sleeping in silence; on, in long sweeping strides ; his eyes flashing, but fixed upon the two forms, every moment getting more clearly discernible and the distance became lessened by his speed. { e ~ And now he was near enough to sce that it was Lansing. , _ The latter glancing back over his shoulder, recognizel his pursuer; and. taking a fresh hold| on the wrist of his apparently unwilling partner, he forced her onward with increased velocity. She had looked back, and saw who was coming after. The silver light of the moon, falling upon her face, showed an expression of - sadness suddenly changing to hoge; and, raising her gloved hand in the air, she sent back a cry for help. t It was not needed, That wan'face, seen under the soft moonlight, appealing to Frank Hill for protection, was enough to nerve him to the last exertion of his strength; and he kept on ‘without speaking a word, his. whole thought and soul absorbed' by’ the one ﬁ%ﬁ?ﬁéﬁféi’w; overtake and rescue .

of laughter, he faced once more toward the ﬂfge of the ice. Then, throwing all his mad. energy into the effort, he BUlaigaey Swn e "y a 0 g 0 Lt lady along with him. The crisis bhad come. A moment more, and Kate Clinton, struggling in ‘the arms of a madman, would be carried .over the cataract, down to certain destruction on the rocks below. s .~ With heart hot, as if on fire, her lover saw her peril, now proximate and extreme. DBut his head was still ‘cool ; and at a glance he took in the gituation. ' ‘

' B{ bearing direct upon . them he would only increase the momentum of their speed, and force both over the edge of theice. His only hopelay in making one last vigorous effort to get between them and the water. A grand sweep might do it; and, without waiting to reflect further he threw his body forward in the curve of a parabola. With hands and teeth both tightly clenched, with eyes fixed upon one point, and thoughts concentrated into one great purpose, he passed over the smooth surface, like an electric flach, ending in a shock, as his body came in contact with that of Lansing.. A blow from one arm, already raised, sent the latter staggering off nPOn the ice, at the same time detaching his grasp from the wrist of his intended victim. It was instantly seized by her rescuer, who, continning the sweep thus intercepted, succeeded in carrying her on to a place of safety. In vain the madman tried to recover himself, The momentum of his own previous speed, increased by the powerful blow from Hill’s clenched fist, gent him spinning on to.the extreme edge of the jce, where he fell flat upon his face. . i : .

Perhaps he might still have been saved, but for his own frenzied passion. As the-skaters, following along the curve, swept close to where he lay, the skate of the young lady almost touching him, he made an effort to lay hold of her ankle, as if intending to drag her over the cataract along with him. Fortunately he failed, but the movement was fatal to himself. A piece of rotten ice on which he rested, giving way under his weight, broke off with a loud crash; and in another moment the detatched fragment, bearing his body along with it, swept over the falls, to be crushed to atoms in the seething cauldron below! " The lovers, now safe from all danger, stood for a time silent, with arms crossed, and listening. But, after one wild, appalling shriek that rose from the maniac’s lips, as for a moment his body balanced upon the: combing of the cataract, they heard no more—only the hoarse monotone of the wa-. ters, to be continued to eternity.— Onward Magazine. ‘

./ Black Blood in Washinton. The outrages of the blacks on one another in Washington on the 7th inst. show, if it needed any showing, how combustible that element of our | population is, and how large a matter a little Forney kindleth when applied to such material. The Tribune, in its special despatch from Washington, has the extraordinary fairness to admit that “the disturbance arose from an attempt of several negro rowdies to prevent a colored man from voting the Democratic ticket,” and forbears to-attempt a defence of this indefensible thing. ; We are not going to make out that the obnoxious Democratic negro was a suffering saint, nor that his Radical assailants were fiends of an unutterably deep dye. But we do wish to point out that the Radical negroes who ‘interfered with the exercise, by a colored conservative, of a franchise to which hig legal title was perfect and his moral ‘title at least as valid as theirs, were sustained by the weight of tho dobates whiok hawa heen held all winter in the city which they infest, and that their acted intolerance is only a more primitive phrase of the verbal intolerance which they have been listening te-all these years, and which, now that the power to do so has been thrust upon' them, they have carried to its logical results. It is not neccessary to maintain that the average Democratic negro of Washington is more wise or more virtuous than the average Radical negro. He only has adifferent pergeption of his own interests or the interests of his class. He acts on his. notion of those interests; and the stronger party—sustained and soothed bfy an unfaltering traat in the supﬁort.o Congress, and instigated by the ravings of Forney, who is but a shade more intelligent and not a shade less scrupulous than | themselves—smashes his head. That the average Washington negro of ei- | ther stripe is capable to choose his side from conviction of its justice will pot be maintained by any truthful person who has seen him in his native haunts.. The blame for foisting an unsought privilege upon this mass of jgnorant irresponsibility lies, not at the door of the black block“heads who made such bloody use of it ‘on the 7th iust; but it is upon the ‘étemag‘oims ‘and lunatics who have thrust the ballot into. their incapable hand:;,l ‘v.ghﬂse‘ar&,.thegnzﬁ?ets of fghe Radical Congresses .of the past five years; ‘and ﬁe xeﬂiﬁéi‘fdt:‘sgz; seditions as this of the eapitoline negrocs is 9*%&{&o be found in sending to the capital, which has been the scene of ‘their frantic folly, men who have ‘sense_enough to see what manuer of ‘et theso are who aro plaging uf citzenship, and who have honesty enough hot to deny that they see what is undez their very noses.—. .

-‘ Thmm'l' IS LOYALTY? * o-Uere 18 8 supreme and intensely rofveshing impudenge fu_ tho aie with, Xhick_we _hear the members of that :%mnizaﬁﬁon, the Radical party, prate of “loyalty,” a fealty to the government which they claim alone to possess. We, says the National Inielligencer, hear them ask every hour in ‘the day, and not 8o cogtindall%s_as fermerly, is so-and-so “loyal ?’° Was | he “loyal” during the war? - Is this lady or that the wife of a “loyal” liv ing husband, and this widow or that the widow of a “loyal” dead one? In all cases they &peak downward, as. from a pinnacza - of superiority, the] self-constituted judges of what loyalty iB. and the self-appointed censors and condemners of vwgat:, in their bigotry, intolerance, and insolent pretensions, it -is not. If the fuature historian, when he comes to set forth the characteristics of the times, and to draw the lineaments of the Radical party, looks about him [for a name by which to characterize it, ho might most aptly deseribe and baptize it as the party of the Pharisees. Nothing 'so pharisaical in a‘pr:i)litics,, and nothing more pharisaical in anything else has ever existed since the time when the self-righteous Pharisees of old, as the self-righteous Radical party do now, thanked God that they were notas other men. There is no toleration in them for difference of opinion.— Every one who does not think as they do i 3 a fit subject for the stake, the -cross, the prison-house, or scourgings of any kind. Had they lived when St. Stephen was stoned to death, they ‘would - have been in their element among the stoners. Had they been by at the court of Pilate among the Jews, when the Holy One was given over to erucifixion, and a malefactor was spared because he agreed with .the Jews in opinion, they. would have: done as the Jéws did, and been among those who shouted and tore themselves, and ‘cried, crucify him-—for opinion’s sake—and let loose & thousand malefactors, for no other reason’ than that they thought as they did. - What is loyalty and what does true loyalty mean? The highest notion that these men can get of it is loyalty to every idea; new or old, falsé or trize, and every scheme, however wild, or revolutionary, or wrong, of the Radical party. This is their test and definition of loyalty; and all who do not come up to it are, according to them, disloyal. When we contrast this definition with the true definition, nothing can be more odious and usurpatious and abominable than the light inwhich the Radical "party appears.— What then does. loyalty really signi: fy among us? To waht are we required, as good and faithfil citizens of one' common country, to be loyal? Certainly not to amy political party, good or bad; for this would lead inevitably to the conclusion, as we have always at least. two-parties among us,. that all the members of at least one of them must be disloyal—a gross absurdity, thongh not more gross than the now ‘dominant party have been guilty of. Certainly not'to any one. man, for that would be autocratical’ despotism—a something to 'which we have not, thus far, at least, -claimed to owe allegiance. = If, then, it .is nof to one man, nor: to many. men, ‘what_is it then that we are bound to be loyal to? To this—the government of the United States, as defined and limited in the constitution of the. United States. ‘To this or nothing.— This is our political solarsystem. If we maintain it,. we -maintain that round which our duties, by the law of our political existence, revolve; and by which the machinery of our institutions is kepf in its place. - If we do .not maintain it, we are recreant to our duty, essentially’ disloyal to the govo e oﬁ%&g& %%glg%}s%ou% (}l%g own loyalty from all the hill tops, and grow black in the: face in denunciatory declarations of the disloyalty of our neighbors, By this, the only true criverion, do the Radical ?~pat?tg-the arty of tlie »ls,hariseese'—sta;n‘ . ‘consemned, notwithstanding: -their loud and labored: pretensions te loyalty and virtue.

~_ As to whether the radical leaders will succeed in emancipating their party from the oppressive and: obnoxious measures ‘which - have characterized 'it in the few past years—whether the people will prove{ submissive to tatiff robberies, bank monopolies, bond exemptions, shinplaster currency, negro equality and the other odious measures that are hastening the dissolution of the radical party, which its managers are endeavoring to ave? by a charge of base—are questions for future solution. . ° ;: ~ 8o far as the Alabama claims are concerned; it is well known that our Minister to England, Hon. Reverdy Johnson, effected a satisfactory settlement thereof, last fall—an adjustment fair and honorable to - either country, and which should have been ratified.

One element of strength-in their favor is found in the divisions of their enemies. It would be strange if a Spanish measure of afn_\g' sort should be characterized by thorough unanimity ; .hence, no one is. surprised that the Cuban loyalists have followed the exampleé so universally afforded by gSpanish effort, and are now’ quarreling Jamong themselves with quite as‘much vigor as, they should develog in their operations against the insargents. ot - Reinforced By the dissensions among '.thxeh‘.oj)ponents, the Cuban insurrectionists have had farther and more material accessions, in arrivals o men and munitions from the United-States. It is now no longer a matter of doubs :}lat several small expiditions from this country have safely reached Cuba, and they have given baekbone to the rebellion. And the further favorable fact is quite well established that the: Cubans are now so situated that they have communication with the 'c‘tast,va‘nd‘ can protect the landing ot x]finfoi'c,emgnts ‘and material from' the Tnited States. s h
